The Class of '51 on the Web
51 OUT!
Latest News!
Although the 2011 Fall Mini-Reunion had to be cancelled, it looks as if the 2012 mini will be a rousing success
We've already booked Occom Commons for the weekend of September 28 to 30. The football team will be playing Pennsylvania and the long range weather forecast is favorable. Watch '51 Fables and this page as details become available..
The 60th Reunion has come and gone, and the 89 classmates and 100 assorted spouses, friends and guests (including children and grandchildren) had a wet wonderful time. We set a new 60th reunion record for attendance,but equally important, raised over $374.081 for the College. Our goal was a more modest, attainable $251,000, so we exceeded it by 49%! Our participation in that total included over 70.2% of us, beyond Dave Saxton's most optimistic prediction. While we all enjoyed listening to President Kim and our panel participants, the best part was seeing each other in the place where it all began for us.
Because of the rainy weather almost all outdoor activities had to be held indoors. Major meals were held in Collis Center, formerly our Freshman Commons, and although the ceiling, fireplace and surroundings were much as they were when we arrived in the fall of1947, the food was served on plates and infinitely improved over creamed chipped beef, corn fritters and bacon that we recalled from that halcyon era.
I was only able to take a few photos before my camera malfunctioned and I have posted them at picasaweb.google.com/albrout/60thReunion#. Fortunately Batch assigned Shatzi the task of taking pictures and those are also posted on the picasa link. Any of you who were clicking away with your digital cameras and want to share the results with your class shold contact me at albrout@aol.com for instructions as to how to post the pictures to the website for all to see.

The Still North Remembers Them
Peirce McKee has designated himself Class Necrologist. He has undertaken (yes, that's intentional) to accumulate all available obituaries of deceased classmates that have been published in the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine that he has in his files. These have now been uploaded in this section. Of the 287 names of deceased classmates, we have obituaries linked to all but 46. Information is pending as to the later ones, but there remain a significant number where no information is available. If you have any data as to those missing (appearing in green on the webpage) please send them along to me and Peirce McKee (Peirce.McKee@RBC.Com)
Those that have obituaries appear in blue or purple, so click on for the link.

They are Meaghan Deegan '14 from Palatine, Illinois and Ryan Choi '11 from Carlsbad, CA. Ryan majored in economics and was a member of the varsity golf team. For the current fiscal year, the Fund will be able to support three students. We'll let you know who when the College tells us.
