The outstanding efforts of all alumni and parents made possible the remarkable success of the 1969 Alumni Fund in the Bicentennial year while in the middle of the Third Century Fund campaign. There were 139 contributors for the Class of 1907, and Bob Kenyon, our head class agent, his workers, members of the class, relatives and widows are to be congratulated.
On Saturday, June 14 your secretary and his wife visited the Kenyons at their new home, 8 Riverside Lane, Concord, N. H., and on Sunday morning Lura and Bob drove us to Hanover for the 1969 Commencement exercises. Bob, Leon Sprague and I were in time for the parade. We enjoyed the speakers, even though it was a wet day.
On Monday we returned to Hanover for the Bicentennial Reunion which was a memorable occasion, and one that we will never forget. Those classmates present were: Edward Ashley, Albert (Rocky) Hazen, Leon Sprague, Phillip Chase and Theora, John Franklin Crocker and Helena, Robert Kenyon and Lura, Ethel and George Grebenstein. The New Tuck Mall dormitory was our headquarters.
