Class Note 1946
Issue
What our October Homecoming Weekend lacked in numbers it made up in spirit. Susan and I arrived late on Friday night October 11 in time to observe the flames from the huge bonfire soaring up to the top of the Baker Library tower while excited spectators watched in awe. We met Jack Howard and other classmates at the Hanover Inn porch just as they had finished the class dinner. While Pierce’s Inn did a wonderful job for our opening reception dinner, the attendance was disappointedly low and, unfortunately, the following morning the Black Family Visual Arts Center tour was only attended by our loyal stalwart Frank Guarini. This may be telling us that the mini-weekends should start Friday instead of Thursday evening. As the College has been providing a lecture series, Friday that could be an option for classmates who choose to start the weekend early. None of this applies to our 70th reunion scheduled for 2016, when a larger attendance is anticipated. Eight members attended our class meeting Friday morning, when financial reports and future mini-reunions and our 70th reunion were discussed. We hope to continue our mini-reunions yearly until our 70th reunion. Our executive committee now includes Harvey White as executive advisor. A highlight of the weekend was a tailgate party next to the Thompson Arena arranged by Milt Cooper before the game. It included an excellent assortment of food and beverages provided by the College and our class banner. Dartmouth went on to an upset victory over Yale. Our class banquet was held in front of a roaring fire in the Hayward Room of the Hanover Inn. Jennifer Casey, alumni relations activities director, invited all of us to be guests at the College’s expense, including rooms at the Hanover Inn and dinners, for our 70th reunion. For all class members wishing to receive a disc showing films of our war years at Dartmouth, 1946-47, provided by the Dartmouth College Library, email a request to Jack Howard at rijwh@aol.com. Our sympathies to the families of deceased classmates Joseph V. Lamb, January 1, 2012; George H. Voight, M.D., December 26, 2012; Paul E. Foley, July 15, 2013; Thomas W.
