The Post Reunion date for all classes has been set for Monday June 10. You may have received a brochure from the college telling of the program and suggesting that reservations should be made ahead of time.

Eleanor and Jack Hurd have returned to Hanover after spending the winter in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. They report that the swimming has been great and Jack had his dip every day. Temperatures were in the low eighties during the day with the cooling tradewind breezes at night. Drinking water is a scarce commodity on the island and a million gallons have to be brought in from the mainland every year. Jack was hoping to find another flautist who would play duets with him. The one Candidate turned him down.

A clipPing " reaches us from the Newton Mass) Transcript via Tom Staley and Ort Hicks which tells of an award made in February to Doris Campbell (Mrs. Jack) for outstanding achievement from the United Way of the Massachusetts Bay campaign for funds. During 1973 Doris served as special gifts chairman and raised $48.636 during the drive. It went to help more than 1,300.000 persons in the 66 cities and towns in the area. Maybe Dons should be made a class agent for the Alumni Fund.

Harland Manchester, who spends the summers at a camp in Thetford, Vt. had an uneasy summer there following an operation. It was questionable whether he and Laetitia should return to the turmoil of New York City and their apartment. A note from him says that he is getting over an attack of the "flu" but still exacts to come back to God's country this June first.

Edward Luedke who lost his wife last September has had a bout with emphysema and back trouble. Eventually he plans to go into a retirement home but for the moment is living with his daughter Mrs. Joseph Huner Jr. who resides in Fair Haven, N.J.

Bill Embree corrects our story about the fall football rush in which he was a combatant. He was mixed up with about eight sophomores back of the White Church, since moved to make room for Baker Library. He tackled one of the sophs and then was set upon by a couple of guys who held him until the football was taken away.

The following year, as we recall it, a member of our class grabbed the football, deflated it, and shoved it under his sweater - then nonchalantly walked down the sidelines to the other end of the campus. Bill also recalls the two pedlars who came into the dormitories yelling "Sweet Cider" and "Ci-der and apples".

A certain amount of hard cider consumed led one Wheeler Hall resident, Cummings by name, to climb out onto the roof and drop three floors to the ground (first name and class unknown).

Dan Ruggles in the April SMOKER quotes in full the greetings of Don Sawyer to the Class, and in which he urges our indulgence in cooperating with the College and the administration in the trying years ahead.

Herrick Brown corrects your secretary on the sex of "Chris" his oldest grandchild. Christopher is the full name and it is obviously a boy. Many apologies!
