CLASS OF 1901

George Sunderland is now with the Lacey Securities Corporation, 332 South Michigan Ave., Chicago. He resides at 1285 Asbury Ave., Hubbard Woods, Ill.

Mort Crowell, Jr., is playing his third year at left end on the Cleveland Heights High School football team, and following a recent decisive defeat of a local school team by a large score, he was wearing an eye that was slightly disfigured.

Changes in addresses are noted as follows:

Bob Leavens, 1862 Yosemite Road, Berkeley, Cal.

Claude A. Butterfield, 47 Hancock St., Lexington, Mass.

Thomas F. McGovern of Southbridge, Mass., better known to 1901 as "Terry" McGovern, startled the big contractors of southern New England last May by putting in a bid $76,000 lower than the next man on a quarter of a million dollar contract for the Ashland Causeway, a big earth fill for the Water Supply Board of the City of Providence. The contract was awarded to him, but because his bid was so much lower than the others he could not get a bonding company to sign his bond, so the contract was readvertised. This time Terry added about $50,000 to his previous bid, and beat the other fellows out by less than $10,000. He has now installed a Sauerman drag line excavator—something new in the East—and is working it very effectively day and night. It requires only three or four men to operate, and certainly keeps the dirt moving. Terry is convincing his competitors and the bonding companies that he knew his business after all. He ought not to have any more trouble in getting a bond.

Many 1901 men found it convenient to attend the, Cornell game at Hanover, and as usual a good reunion was enjoyed.

The outcome of the game was disappointing, but this did not interfere with the occasion, and Hanover was never more beautiful than during those three perfect days. The publicity committee were housed at the Inn, and their room was headquarters for their classmates and friends.

Those present included Ben Greer, who came all the way from Chicago to see the game; Roswell Bogue, who has not been in Hanover since the end of his sophomore year, twenty-five years ago, and who has now enrolled as an annual attendant at 1901 round-ups. He is engaged in a prosperous bond business in Chicago, and while many would not recognize him because of added weight, he took little time to renew old friendships and was enthusiastic about the College. It is fine to welcome back to the fold those men who have been away so long. Another new comer was Harding, who stayed with the class but a short time and who has1 never been back to any class functions. He is school superintendent at St. Johnsbury, Vt., and made his presence known when the 1901 class yell was given.

The usual "pce-raders" were present, including Bond, Kimball, French, McCarten, Higgins, Hildreth, Rolf Smith, Taylor, Dungie Crowell, Jack Andrews, Higgins, and Chan Cox.

As usual 1901 was prominent in the Dartmouth Night activities, and with President Hopkins presiding and Chan Cox delivering one of his best speeches the whole occasion had a strong 1901 tinge.

Harold P. Hathaway has assumed the position of sales manager of the Dura Floor Brush department of the Woonsocket Brush Company, Woonsocket, R.I.

Immediately after the Harvard-Dartmouth game, the class gathered at the Woodland Country Club, Auburndale, for their annual family dinner. Of the many successful class dinners this one seems to stand out as one of the most delightful. The Woodland Country Club's new house offered many pleasing advantages for such a gathering, and these were secured through the courtesy of Capt. French, who is now serving as chairman of the house committee. The whole dinner was a family affair, and although there was no set program, the fun ran fast and furious, and the exchange of compliments between certain members of the class was intensely interesting and particularly amusing. Hoppy had been on a long speaking trip, so was excused from speaking. The other distinguished member of the class, Gov. "Chan" Cox, was at his best, and spoke feelingly of his faith in the class and all its deep friendship had meant for him. Johnnie Ward filled the position of toastmaster in his own happy way. Music for dancing was furnished by a colored orchestra, and that form of indoor sport was enjoyed by many. Among those there were President Hopkins and Mrs. Hopkins, Chan Cox and Mrs. Cox, Johnnie Ward and Mrs. Ward, Capt. French, Harry Cook, Harland Cate and Mrs. Cate, Boy Haskell and Mrs. Haskell, Bill Cheever, Rolfe Smith and Mrs. Smith, T. Wood and Mrs. Wood, Steve Stevens, Jim Kimball, Dungie Crowell and Mrs. Crowell, and their guests, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hansis, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Russell, Gene Maguire and Mrs. Maguire, Tim Shanahan and Mrs. Shanahan, Harold Hathaway and guest Dr. Reichenberg, Bill Bryant and Mrs. Bryant, Ned Calderwood and Mrs. Calderwood, Arthur Sampson and Mrs. Sampson, Ben Bond and Mrs. Bond, Jack Andrews and Mrs. Andrews, Ernest Eddy, Mrs. Eddy, and guests, Jim Smith and Mrs. Smith, Pa Rollins and Mrs. Rollins, Carl Owen and Mrs. Owen, Deacon Hildreth, Mrs. Hildreth, and Roger Hildreth, and guests Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Hildreth, Judge Qua, George French and Mrs. French and guests, Goochie.
