Our mini-reunion and mini-class meeting took place with about the usual crowd. Neither the weather nor the Penn football team cooperated, but a good time was nevertheless had. Headquarters were at the Inn at Norwich, and tentative reservations for next year are already made.

Those participating in some or all of the activities were: Chinee and Margaret Allen, Don Bartlett, Wes Blake, Mary

Bridges, Stan and Barbara Chittick, DaveDyche, Dana and Marguerite Haskins,Lois Hersey, Pauline Hartshorn, Harryand Frances Holmlund, Dick and PaulineMorin, Pete and Al Wheatly, and Ed andBetty Winsor.

At our class meeting in the Wren Room in Sanborn House, President Chinee announced the results of the class poll on the program for disposal of class treasury funds at the time of our 65th reunion in 1989. It was 60 votes in favor of the plan and two opposed. The College has, therefore, been advised that the plan stands as adopted.

Other matters taken up at the class meeting were officers' reports and matters of a housekeeping nature. We approved a merger of two funds held by the College in the name of the class but never, in fact, turned over to the class, except that the income from them had been credited to the Alumni Fund each year. These funds will remain in College custody and, when the class is gone, will belong outright to the College. A fund established by a gift of Frank Harrington in 1962 to endow the Memorial Book Program has also been held by the College with Frank's and the College's approval. The present balance in this fund will be transferred to the class treasurer, and, in turn, the major portion of it will be turned over to the acquisitions librarian to fund future memorial book purchases. The treasurer reported that such funds would be sufficient to guarantee the completion of the Book Club program. A vote of appreciation to Frank for his generosity was also adopted.

Beatie Adams was much missed at the reunion, but it is good to report that despite a fall last July resulting in a broken pelvis, she is once again able to drive her car and is feeling better.

Dartmouth and banking still continue to run in the Kip Higley family. Our Kip was a banker, as are his two sons, Richard '49 and John '51. Grandson Timothy '85 is now with a bank in Worcester.
