1918

65TH REUNION

The class of 1918 held its meetings at the Hanover Inn, in Room 112, with the exception of the slide show presented by the DOC in Robinson Hall, where we looked at shots of the George Stoddard Cabin being constructed in the College Grant.

A talk by Richard S. Teitz, director of the Hood Museum of Art, opened the second day of activities. At the annual Alumni Association meeting, we learned that 1918 had given the largest amount ever to the Alumni Fund by a 65th class.

Our class meeting was opened with a memorial service for the 57 classmates who have departed since our last reunion. President Chet Hulbert spoke of our life with them. All officers gave a brief report.'The meeting ended with the reelection of them for the next five years.

The class reception and dinner were held in Hopkins Center's Drake Room. There were 34 attending 12 classmates, plus assorted wives, widows, and relatives, and one guest of honor. The latter was Professor Vincent E. Starzinger, head of the Department of Government, to whom Class President Hulbert presented the Robert E. Fish award for excellence as a teacher. The evening closed with entertainment by 14 women from the Glee Club known as the Woodswind.

It was a spirited, albeit small, group which celebrated 1913's 10th reunion. The class was represented by one classmate Bill Dent and twowidows Renza Shepard, left, and Mildred Conant, right. The smiles tell the rest of the story of the trio's three days in Hanover.

The class of 1918 set a new record for total attendance (31 'lBers plus guests) at its 65 th reunion in June. Among the 31 were 13 classmates, 12 ofwhom are pictured above in a setting doing justice to the intrepid spirit of the class: The picture ivas taken in the pitch dark when a thunder storm brieflyknocked out Hanover's electricity.
