1932

June 15-17 a number of refugees from the good old days of 1928-32 assembled on the Hanover Plain. Some came singly, some with spouses, a few with other kin. In total there were 123, only 19 fewer chan at our 55th. There were 70 class members, including several widows.

We were busy day and night. There were luncheons at the graduate schools and tours of the College, the Hood Museum, and the new medical center. President and Mrs. Freedman were home to alumni one evening, and following this there was a great Glee Club Concert.

At the Association of Alumni meeting President Freedman spoke about the recent changes and future plans for the curriculum. A memorial service was held with classmate George Blaese officiating, and DeborahAllen was the organist. The 1932 symposium "Learning for the Century Ahead" was wellattended. Panelists were Frank Westheimer and Mike Cardozo from the class, and Professors Bruce Pipes and Don Pease from the College. Charley Gdegaard was moderator. Discussion was far from tepid, with PingFerry, Bob Mitchell, Ruell Denny, and John Weissenfluh participating.

At our class dinner Jay Whitehair spoke on "Ex oviet Labor Pains," and Class President Whip Walser was honored with the Dartmouth Alumni Award. At our class meeting we approved the gift of a new elm tree for the campus. The nominating committee's slate of officers for the next five years was accepted: president, Dick Olmsted; treasurer, Howdy Pierpont; secretary, JoeRoberts; newsletter editor, Bob Ackerman; and mini-reunion chairman, Dick Stoiber. Mini-reunion will be the Yale game weekend, October 16-17.

Concluding our final lunch a secret ballot "exit poll" of presidential choices was taken. The results: Bush, 7; Clinton, 6; Perot, 10; None of the above, 11. (Margin of error, 50 percent?)

It is with deep regret that we report the death of Graham C. Butler on May 1. He had planned to attend this reunion. A full obituary will be in the Alumni Magazine.
