Our 57th Informal Reunion was enjoyed by all those who could return to the "College on the Hill." We arrived in Hanover on Friday, June 12 and Hitchcock was our headquarters. The weather was excellent. On Friday evening we enjoyed a buffet supper with '09 in the tent. On Saturday morning we proceeded to South Strafford, Vt., where Crick Crocker and Helena were our hosts at residence for a cocktail hour, after which we were their guests for luncheon at the Buena Vista Farm. Those present were Mrs. Samuel Barnes (Helen), Robert Bartoo, Allan Brown, Roger and Jane Brown '05, John and Helena Crocker, George and Ethel Grebenstein, Robert and Lura Kenyon, George and Fern Liscomb, Robert Lyons, Harold and Luna Niles, Leon Sprague, Arthur and Elizabeth Winslow. A good time was had by all and we are thankful for the Crockers' hospitality. On Saturday evening we had dinner at the Log Cabin on Route 5, Norwich, Vt. Robert Bartoo of Washington, D.C., was voted in as an honorary member of the Class of 1907. On Sunday we attended the Commencement exercises which were very impressive. It was the opinion of all those present at our 57th reunion that it was one of the very best informal reunions and will be long remembered. We were pleased to see Ted Redington of Santa Barbara, Calif., back to the reunion. He looked younger than ever.
