Carl Owen, who was recently operated on for appendicitis, has entirely recovered, and is back in his office feeling better than ever. His convalescent days were spent at Atlantic City, and that was some compensation for the unpleasant days just following the operation. Carl also announces the birth of a son, Richard, December 11, 1922.
Warner Crowell, emulating our illustrious classmate. Governor Cox, has decided to go into politics, and his first victory was in the primaries in Watertown, when he ran for selectman. It is needless to say that he ran well ahead of his ticket, and even now is being spoken of as the next mayor of Watertown. Our class records show that no other 1901 man lives in Watertown, but we understand the future politician is already offering inducements for all who will move there, and is guaranteeing cheap rents, good roads, and low taxes. His classmates are all pulling hard for him.
The annual Washington's Birthday reunion was held 'at Hanover as usual this year, and those who were present reported a wonderful time. Those who were present included Bunker Bishop, wife and three children, Johnnie Ward, wife and three children, Bill O'Leary and wife, Jim Kimball, and Cap French, and these with the local members of the class made the reunion large enough to be entirely successful. Fr. Sydney Smith, who has attended sev- eral of our reunions, and Miss "Lov-it," friend of the Bishops, also attended and thoroughly enjoyed the winter sports. A dinner at the Mel Adams Cabin, given by the Outing Club, swimming in the new Spaulding Pool, dancing, basketball games, snowshoeing, ski jumping and other winter sports made the time pass all too quickly. Mrs. Hopkins gave one of her celebrated teas, and was ably assisted by Anne Hopkins, who amused and entertained in a very unique way. The reunion lasted from Thursday until Sunday, and barring a slight accident to Jim Kimball when trying the big ski jump, no casualties were reported. Lon Gove has reserved all the rooms in the hotel for 1901 for next year, and it is hoped there will be a large attendance at that time.
Goochie is enjoying a vacation at his home this year, and attended the winter carnival at Hanover for the first time. He expects to be in Boston for some time, as he feels that fifteen years in the tropics entitles him to a real vacation.
George M. Janes has just published a new book on "American Trade Unionism." In his prefatory remarks he says: Trade unionism has more often been the object of passionate denunciation or defence than of a scientific inquiry." He gives this as the raison d' etre of his handbook, and treats the subject in an impartial and dispassionate way.
Gus Hartigan recently spent a few days in Hanover visiting his son, who is a member of the freshman class.
