1910

While there was general satisfaction expressed on every hand, with the reunion in June—the 60-year reunion, by the way, it has been noticeable that the expressions in written form through the following weeks have proven a confirmation which is very pleasing. We actually had 24 of the 88 men still living, in attendance by Saturday. Some who came Saturday were too late to give the class credit in the College’s official figures.

Art Lord who began his life in Hanover and prepared at Hanover High School remained about five weeks to renew acquaintances and to observe some of the scenic spots of nearby New England. BonesJones wrote, “We had a fine gathering for the 60th and glad that we could all be together in pretty good shape.” ThayerSmith’s comment: ‘‘I felt we had an excellent reunion and I wish more of the fellows would make the trip to Hanover every year as we have done in recent years.”

Bert Kent, who says we twisted his arm to get him to Hanover for the whole period of the reunion, thought so well of it and the opportunity it gave to observe the strong signs of approval of our new president that he talked about it in his home territory. This resulted in a four column story with Bert’s photo in the “Chicopee Transcript-Tele- gram.” The sum total of this was some first- class publicity for the new Dartmouth president John Kemeny.

Some sad news reached Hanover after most of the Tenners had left for home. BaySeymour received word from Mrs. W. James Rice, daughter of “Tacks” Mitchell, telling us that he had passed away June 9, 1970. He had been suffering and losing through most of the year. Later in June, word came that Paul Albert had passed away on the 29th. His death followed a long period of illness. A little later, word came from Mac Kendall that Charlie Gibson’s wife, Elizabeth, had slipped away June 18. All three of these were real loyal Dartmouth persons.

The football season will be underway by the time this issue reaches the class. A question in the mind of Bones Jones is “How many Tenners will be in Boston for the Harvard game and the night-before 1910 dinner?”
