1930

Not since H.W. Longfellow '30 has the class had a poet deserving the title Poet Laureate. But our Ted Wolf undoubtedly qualifies with his so-far- unpublished "Thank you, Noah," a product of summer in Roaring Gap, N.C. If I remember my Brooks Henderson, it's probably iambic pentameter—or something. Too long, unfortunately, for my stingy column. I don't doubt that Ted will follow our other authors and produce a book, incorporating also a few limericks.

Hanover reports that Burt Crandell has two new "brass knees." Faced with increasing difficulty in hobbling about, and with increasing responsibilities as we approach next year's 65th, Burt gambled on having both replacements at once, rather than face two periods of convalescence. My source, Bob Keene, says Burt is doing fine. A sigh of relief from Burt, and my thanks to Bob, who, incidentally, has a new postal address: 195 Dogford Road, Etna, NH 03750.

Footnoting again the June Thirtyteer's excellent report on Class Officers Weekend: in addition to Fred Watson and the vivacious Ginny Chambers, our 1930 dinner at the Norwich Inn was further enhanced by the presence of Lari Widmayer and NancyHukill, Bill Fenton's "attractive sparring partner" (to quote Ted Wolf). Other Hanoverians Marge Chase and the RipVoffts were unable to join us.

Do you realize the significance of our upcoming reunion? OK, it's our 65th, which is important, and we'll all be BMOCs. But let your imagination run a bit. At next year's quintennial class meeting we'll be electing class officers who will be leading us (God willing) not just through the coming five years, not just into the next century, but this time into the next millenium! Our next full class meeting is scheduled for the day after Commencement, 10 a.m., Monday, June 12,2000. Y'all be there.

Finally, five lines left for a Wolf limerick: Teens who don't want to be wed But are eager to share the same bed With the opposite gender, Don't produce legal tender, But wind up with bastards instead.
