Class of 1901
1901 was well represented at the Pow Wow held in Chicago February 22 and 23, both in attendance and by its representatives on the program. Thirteen of the class were there at least a part of the time, which was a very good attendance for a class of our time. Hoppy and Gene Clark were there, and as usual both demonstrated their ability and the reason why they are holding their present important positions in the old College. Hoppy's talk at the opening session was a wonder, and very careful attention was paid to his remarks, all being eager for the words of wisdom and common sense as applied to educational matters that fell from his lips. Gene gave an account of the activities of the Secretaries Association and something of what that body has accomplished, also a statement of the business and editorial policy of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE.
Ted Morehouse, somewhat stouter and with snowy locks, all the way from San Francisco, came in early, and was greeted with enthusiasm by those of the class then present. He is at present Pacific Coast manager for the Macmillan Company, and has been with them since leaving Hanover. Ted has a son in the University of California, and his daughter is a freshman at Syracuse University. Locke Perkins, whom many have not seen since graduation, came down from St. Paul, Minn., where he is holding down the big job of executive assistant to the president of the Northern Pacific Railway. He is the same old "Perk," and looks just as he did twenty years ago. He has three boys, all headed for Dartmouth, and one daughter.
Clarence Phelps, one of our old monitors, kept the record of attendance, and we doubt if any got by him, any more than they did in chapel in the old days. He is superintendent of schools in Ishpeming, Mich.
Ros Bogue, now a regular attendant at all class and college reunions, did not miss this one, and appeared to enjoy meeting with the class again. He is planning on attending the Harvard-Dartmouth game and class dinner this . fall. Bogue resides in Kalamazoo, Mich., and is the resident partner of the firm of Hyney, Emerson, and Company, investment securities.
Judge Trude, Mrs. Trude, and daughter were in a while Friday night, and Dan was in again Saturday. Those of the class who were in Hanover for the reunion in 1921 will be interested to know that Dan's oldest daughter is to be married this summer.
Paul Eckstorm and his nice-looking son, Paul Jr., came in to enjoy meeting old friends and classmates. Paul is still with the State Bank of Chicago.
Friday evening Gus Hartigan brought in Mrs. Hartigan and son Arnold, so that they could meet with us. It was a pleasure to see Gus again. He is a successful contractor, and has a son in the sophomore class at Hanover. Arnold Hartigan goes to Andover next fall before entering Dartmouth.
One whom the Secretary had not seen since freshman year was George Sunderland. George has not changed much, grown a little in girth and a little bald, but otherwise the same. He is now in Chicago, a broker in produce, and lives at Hubbard Woods, Ill.
Percy Stoddard, who has been in Altoona, Pa., for the past three or four months, liked Chicago so well that he decided to look around a little, and may locate there. He is still in the insurance business.
Squash Mclntyre was seen for a few minutes in the lobby, but did not get into the sessions or the banquet.
These classmates all seemed to enjoy getting together again, and renewing those old friendships. It really is remarkable that men who have been separated for so many years can meet together and then pick up their acquaintance and go right along, as though those intervening years were only a few days. Perhaps that is a part of our Dartmouth heritage; any way we are thankful for it. It was good to meet those of other classes whom you knew while in college, still it was noticeable that it was the class that was the unit, and it was with your own class that you stayed, and through that unit that you got the most out of the affair.
"Pa" Rollins, known as Judge Daniel A. Rollins in Brookline, is becoming quite a politician, and in the recent primaries in the contest for selectmen of that town he polled the second largest vote of all the candidates. He was a member of the board last year, and this vote is in appreciation of the good work he did while serving in that capacity.
Chan and Mrs. Cox and Ben and Mrs. Bond have been spending a few days at North Conway, N. H., where they have, enjoyed winter sports. The Bonds have also just returned from a trip to Bermuda.
Goochie is spending some time at Asbury Park. Several of his friends have received post cards which leave his movements enshrouded in mystery, but rumors from a more or less authentic source leave the impression that he is getting ready to desert the other bachelors of the class—"Joe" Raphael, "Gardy" Cobb, and "Cap" French.
Johnnie Ward and Henry Taylor and their families are spending a month in the South improving their golf games, and the committee feels that Johnnie at least has plenty of chance to do this.
Mort Crowell is now serving his second term as president of the Cleveland Association of Heating and Piping Contractors. On December 10, 1923, he was presented a platinum watch and chain by the members, in appreciation of his untiring and successful efforts in behalf of that association.
The class will all mourn with Doug Vanderhoof in the loss of his wife, Julie Osterloh Vanderhoof, February 18, 1924, of pneumonia, at Richmond, Va.
As soon as spring comes and the golf courses are opened up in and around Boston, the publicity committee plan to begin a series of class matches, same as those successfully held last year.
Secretary, 42 Orange St., Nashua, N. H.
