1928

In just three months over a hundred of your classmates will be returning to Hanover for our Advanced Thirty-Fifth Reunion on June 11, 12 and 13. Make your plans now to join them!

Reunion Chairman Hank Walker and his committee have made all the arrangements for a wonderful three days. A reunion is what you want it to be. Walking your luggage into Hitchcock or Gile will be a re-play of the young man you were when you started out on Hanover Plain. You'll have plenty of time to roam the campus and the town, and to sit in the big tent in front of our dorms and get reacquainted with a lot of fellows you haven't seen in a long time.

Jack Herpel's newsletter will soon give you all the details, but here is a brief summary of events. Come as early as you can on Monday so you can register and get "settled in" before the first event - the class picnic at Jim Campion's "farm" in Etna which starts early in the afternoon. The President's reception and Alumni Dinner will be held at the gymnasium that evening.

Tuesday morning (not too early) there will be a class meeting, class picture, and a memorial service which George Pitts has been asked to lead. Tuesday evening we will have the class banquet in Thayer Hall, preceded by a cocktail party. Ralph Rickenbaugh has agreed to serve as toastmaster, and Herb Sensenig has lined up Prof. Allen Foley '20 to make the principal address. The Dartmouth Players will give a performance after the banquet. Wednesday morning there will probably be a brunch, the details have not been worked out yet.

By popular demand, the Barbary Coast band of our day is being brought together again by Lew Beers, who will be in charge of tent music, and Nibs Dow, who is serving in a similar capacity for '27. Lew says none of the three classes reuning ('26, '27 and '28) have a good trumpet or trombone, so he is bringing two non-Dartmouth friends back to complete the band. Back in the Roaring Twenties these fellows traveled to Europe with the Barbary Coast and know a good many of us.

It's going to be a very good party; a family party, so plan now with your wife and children.

If the second man from the right at the bar in the new Dartmouth Club of New York looked familiar in the pictures in the January ALUMNI MAGAZINE, you're right - he is a '28er - Chuck Bennet, an advertising man from Darien. In the picture of the dining room, John Phillips is visible — if you look closely. On recent trip to New York we made a special point of visiting the club to see the new mural which Walter Humphrey '14 painted for the wall behind the bar. It is wonderful - see it as soon as you can; you'll enjoy the traditions and scenes he has included - and the luscious Indian maidens.

The Alumni Council met in Hanover January 25-27 and had one joint meeting with the Trustees and dinner with them Friday evening. Attending from our class were our four members of the council - Cal Billings,Chuck Bruder, Craig Haines and JohnTurkevich, and two former members Herb Sensenig and your secretary. After the Friday banquet, John Turkevich, three members of the faculty and Congressman-Trustee, Tom Curtis '32, were members of a panel which provided a lively and interesting hour's discussion of Russia. Saturday we all enjoyed a tour of the Hopkins Center with Warner Bentley as our guide; the huge building is supposed to be completed by next fall. Saturday afternoon we visited the new Bradley Center for Mathematics, the new Medical School, and a reception at the Stefansson Library in Baker. The '28ers and wives got together at meals, and were joined one evening by Jim and Esther Campion.Chuck Bruder's son came over Saturday from the Cardigan Mountain School. Saturday morning we had an early breakfast with Curly and Allene Prosser; Curly was in town interviewing Tuck School boys for Young and Rubicam. Make your reunion plans now!
