REUNION
SEPTEMBER 1997

In June, reuning alums 1.734 from 13 classes enjoyed the chance to catch up with classmates in Hanoyer. Those numbers weren't for the record book, though the classes of '76, '77, arid '78 did break attendance records with 189, 234, and 216 alums, respectively. Some highlights from two weeks in June: • Members of the classes of '52, '57, and '62 gathered at the Ravine Lodge for food and drink and Al Foley '20 stories told by Tom Burack '82. They slept in coed bunk rooms before hitting the trail and wet snow on their way to the summit

• At the '77 dinner, President Freedman announced, "Yours is the first dinner I have attended this year with Dartmouth alumnae in the audience, and I am just delighted to be here with yon!"

• The class of 1947 set an all-time record for their class giving with a check for $647,000.47. Reunion giving chairman Frank Weber handed President James O. Freedman the 47 cents while making the ceremonial check presentation. The donation has been duly recorded in the development office.

Classmates raised a flag on the Green to honor General Thomas S. Moorman '62, retiring this year as the number two ranking officer in the Air Force. Following an old Air Force tradition, an American flag was flown at locations important to the four-star general. Sheila Cheston 'BO, Air Force general tounsel, made sure Moorman's flag was raised at Dartmouth.

Frat brothers Fitzgerald and Cogswell recalled how the latter got the nickname "Clocker": He advised students which racehorses to bet on in a column in The Dartmouth.
