Class of 1911
Ray and Cora Taylor have at last found the one spot on earth that seems to satisfy. They are now in Calistoga, California, R. F. D. I. lam giving you Ray's letter, knowing that the news will be of interest: "We can neither confirm nor deny the rumor. But here we are. Enjoyed a dandy trip around through the Panama Canal. Have been here almost two months touring up and down the state, looking for a certain spot we have been dreaming of for a number of years. We believe we have found it. Eighty-six acres in the Napa Valley four miles above St. Helena. So we are now ranchers, and the 1911 festivities must needs be held in California for the next few years or we may be unable to attend. I might go on to rave about the wonderful California climate, but hardly feel sufficiently acclimated to justify that."
The dead letter office finally gives up Bert E. Dugdale, and reports him living at 80 Nesbit Terr-ace, Irvington, N. J.
Bill Carlisle has departed from the Hotel Vanderbilt, having set up his home at 133 E. 73rd St., New York.
'The Woolworth Company called up to state that Sam Pickering has been transferred from Lawrence to Nashua, N. H., where he is manager of the 5 and 10-cent store.
The Secretary was delighted to receive word from Willard Connely, who is now connected with Harvard University, stating that even so, he is still much interested in Dartmouth and wishes to be kept on the list of men who are. I hope it will be possible to get Willard to join us at one of our 1911 parties soon, and make him a real fullfledged active member.
The class will be interested to know that Guy Steeves writes: "After spending two years in San Francisco, and reading about all the good parties that were going on in the East, Mrs. Steeves and I decided that we had had enough climate to last us for a while, and returned to the East forthwith. That was just a year ago. On the 23d of May, John Francis Steeves the Third was born, also our third. In September I took an interest in the George Clark Company, and since then have been trying to build up a business that was quite sick. We are quite encouraged with results so far obtained. Have not been able to get back to Hanover yet, but will surely be on hand in the Yale.Bowl next fall."
Guy's business address is 28 Front St., New York city.
The following information relative to Fred Harris appeared in a bulletin published by the Fitchburg Chamber of Commerce recently at the time of "City Government Night," which is the first meeting of the Chamber held each year.

All will be grieved to learn of the death of John Pearson's father, on January 26, at Concord, N. H. You doubtless know that Mr. Pearson had been ill for some time, and that because of this John found it desirable to leave his work in Cleveland and come home to do what he could for his father. Our classmate, Bob Barstow, conducted the funeral services, and from the church pulpit also paid due respect to the memory of a man who had been one of New Hampshire's best loved and most useful citizens.
Secretary, . Hanover, N. H.
