1927

'For the second year in a row, 1927 held a mini-reunion in Hanover on the date of Dartmouth's first football game of the season. This year it was September 15-16 and Princeton was both the hosted and the winner. Twenty-eight classmates, wives, and friends enjoyed fine summer weather, good food, and much reminiscing under the direction of President Roger Bury, master of ceremonies, and Bob Long, master of all arrangements. Our thanks to both for a job well done. We have to blame a higher authority for being disappointed to find the famed Hovey Murals, in the room where we had several meals, all covered up.

Because of lack of space, you will have to refer to the next issue of the Speakeasy for names of attendees and other details of the weekend. Suffice it to say that Tom Anglem traveled the farthest distance, California, and Dow Mills, with his sister Florence, came in after an extended trip through Nova Scotia. At the class business meeting on Saturday morning before the game, the following were duly elected officers of the class to fill recent vacancies: Class Treasurer Warren Murray, Assistant Class Treasurer Stuart Ensinger, Reunion Chairman Robert Long, Newsletter Editor Paul Hannah, Bequest Co-Chairman PegFunkhouser, executive committee members Tom Anglem and Tom Gillespie.

We recently had this news from JohnRintels, who was at his place in Chilmark on Martha's Vineyard during August. "Dorothy and I tripped to Ireland and Russia in July, to Pacific and Hong Kong in January, and to the Amazon during the preceding November."

Early in September we had a long visit over lunch with Bill Elliott and Tom Anglem. Bill appeared well and had recently returned from a visit with Peg Williamson, widow of Bob Williamson. She is happy and well in a nursing home in Norwood, Mass. Tom was here for a few days before the reunion, to visit friends and to attend a medical meeting at Bretton Woods, N.H. On October 2 he had a delayed hip replacement in Boston. Reports are that he came through this last ordeal with flying colors.

We report with deep regret the death of Professor Michael Eugene Choukas at the Hanover Terrace Health Care on October 2. A full notice appears in this issue.
