Glass Reunions.
The class of '94 held an enjoyable re-
union at the St. Johnsbury house on
Thursday evening of last week, about
forty being present. Fred Fassett was
toast master, and the banquet, the
speeches and music and songs all contrib
uted to make the occasion pass pleasant
ly. The merry party did not break up
until late hour.
After the social enjoyment was over
business meeting was held, when the
question Of what should be done with
the class fund was discussed. The class
had raised a sum of money, which it was
at first arranged should be held for two
years, with the hope that a succeeding
class, or the alumni, would raise a SINH
lar sum and the whole amount be applied
to the founding OF an observatory fund.
Up to the present there has been no ad
dition to it from either of these sources,
and it was decided that if things are still
the same next year, to use the interest
for an annual mathematical prize, and
committee was appointed to confer with
the faculty about the matter, A com
mittee was also appointed to decide on
the time and place of the next reunion,
to be held i'll two years time.
The class OF 80 held business meeting
at the same place the next evening, be-
fore proceeding with their social pro.
gramme. The class arranged at gradual
ton to leave a scholarship fund of $500
as a remembrance but it has not yet
been made up, so Miss Winona Snow
and c. w. Steele were appointed a com
mittee to dun the members and get the
$4,000 made up this year. The next
reunion is to be held two years from this
commencement, and John Bartlett, A. E.
Hale and Miss Maude Mcleod were APP
pointed a committee to decide on the
place where it shall be held. James A.
Lytle was appointed class historian.
The social programme included a ban
quet in the St. Johnsbury House best
style, number of toasts and music by
the st. Johnsbury orchestra. Charles w.
Steele was POSTMASTER. and filled his
position with great satisfaction to all.
The best toast of the evening was
Would you advise the rest OF us to be
married ?" by Mrs. Marion Ingalls, Tink-
er, who made very witty speech. Mr..
Burton c. Hawley was also to have
spoken to this toast, but was NOT pres
ent. The other "toasts and roasts' were
also full OF fun, and the evening passed
all too quickly
