CLASS OF 1901
Secretary and Mrs. Stevens announce the birth of Charles William Stevens, born June 8, 1922.
Judge and Mrs. Qua announce the arrival of Constance Tuxbury Qua, at Lowell, March 5, 1922.
Rev. Claude A. Butterfield of Fairhaven, Mass., was the Memorial Day orator at Mattapoisett, Mass., May 30.

The contract for constructing the Millers River bridge at Athol, Mass., has been awarded to Thomas F. McGovern of Southbridge, Mass. The bridge will be of reinforced concrete faced with granite, and will cost about $57,000.
The Secretary has just located George G. Goodelle, who was a member of our class for a short while. Goodelle is now in Geneva, N. Y., where he conducts a real estate business, in addition to specializing in Adirondack and Canadian timber lands. He is married, and has ten children, five boys and five girls. One son graduated from Colgate, another graduates next year, while one daughter is a freshman at Smith. The next oldest son is registered to enter Dartmouth in 1924. Goodelle is interested to be in touch with the class again, and promises to be in attendance at the next reunion. We sure hope to have him with us.
Carl M. Owen is serving on the governing board of the New York Dartmouth Alumni Association.
At a recent meeting of the First Parish Men's Club of Lexington, Mass., Louis L. Crone was elected secretary and treasurer.
Johnnie Ward and wife and oldest daughter sailed May 27 for a six weeks' trip abroad. Recently Johnnie was elected vice-president of the Massachusetts State Chamber of Commerce.
Frederick D. Carpenter now represents the firm of Baker, Young, and Company, 50 Congress St., Boston, selling bonds in the northern counties of New Hampshire. Carp frequently is in Boston, and we hope to get him around to some of our gatherings.
Tom Mason has been located in Bridgeport, Conn., by Jim Kimball, and we are very glad to have his name on our address list again. During the war Mason served with the Red Cross in France, and is now doing social service work in Bridgeport.
Richard E. Leach is a member of the firm of Leach and Heald, attorneys at law, Ernest and Cremner Building, Denver, Colo.
Bill Sykes is still located in San Juan, Porto Rico, serving the Department of Education as commissioner of education. Bill says in a letter to Irving French that he is getting portly (he hates the word' fat) and is losing some hair. His orchard of grape fruit and pines is coming along nicely, and he is now planting some 30,000 more pineapple plants. Bill plans to come to the. States this summer, the first time for six years, and we shall hope to be able to get some of the class together, to meet him and listen to his always interesting stories of the island, and his unusual experiences there with the natives.
LeArthur A. Rix, who was a member of our class during freshman year, is now division superintendent for the E. E. Gray Company, of Boston, who own and operate a chain of grocery stores. He resides at 222 Brown St., Waltham, Mass.
Frederick (Bemus) Pierce is receiving congratulations upon the publication by Dutton of his book entitled "Our Unconscious Mind," which makes plain some very practical matters of psychology.
"Some party" seems to be the general expression of approval of the class round-up, held June 3 and 4 at Pine Island Camp, Long Pond, Lakeville, Mass. Bunker Bishop was the first man outside of Boston to arrive. He was properly received at the South Station by Dungie Crowell, who escorted him down to Jim Kimball's habitat. From Hingham they motored to the camp with Arthur Russell and made all the final arrangements for our occupancy. They, with T. Wood, then drove up to the Wamponoag Motor Inn for dinner. Skunk Hathaway had already driven over from Woonsocket and Bill Bryant from Boston, also Charlie Whelan with Gillie, Deacon Hildreth, and the Secretary. After a wait with some impatience, due to the usual 1901 hunger, in drove Tim Shanahan in the good company of Ben Bond, Gene Maguire, Captain French, and Jim McCarten. Landlord Lehan served one of his usual all-that-can-be-desired chicken dinners, and we all felt better — some even better than others. The drive back to the camp under the guidance of T. Wood was through very pretty country, and Pine Island was reached in due season. Saturday night was spent in the usual happy way that 1901 men have when they get together. Sunday morning all were up early, and the day started with a bath in the lake au ndturel, as Jim Kimball says, followed by breakfast of ham and eggs and toast, produced under the supervision of Jim, and a flag raising with the singing of "The Star Spangled Banner" by the entire company. Soon after breakfast Boy Haskell, with Frank Lowe and Gardy Cobb, came in, followed by Andrew Marshall and Banker Hovey. From then on the fun was fast and furious, and the day passed, altogether too quickly, with national games, fishing, swimming, championship games of quoits, beefing, stories, etc. All of you who have attended such 1901 round-ups know the good time that always attends them. Perhaps the most successful part of the day was the clam bake and lobster feed, served under the trees in the afternoon. Never did clams and lobster taste more delightful, nor could they have been better prepared. The success of this was all due to Mr. Russell, the feed being wholly prepared by himself. T. Wood secured the shell fish, and was officially elected to the position of procurer of clams and lobsters for the class of 1901. Arthur Russell, a prince of good fellows, a friend of Jim Kimball's, loaned us the use of his camp for this occasion, and as a fitting expression of our esteem and appreciation of his kindness, the class presented him with a complete oil stove outfit for use in his camp. His reply to the cries of "speech" was to the effect that he would accept the gift, providing we would come again. Can you keep 1901 away from Pine Island? Well try it — that is all.
Secretary, Everett M. Stevens, 127 Federal St., Boston
