Class of 1901
Dan Trude has been doing effective work in Chicago in connection with the recent election frauds. He has been actively assisting the Bar Association committee in its investigations.
Henry Taylor recently had the misfortune to lose the first joint of his second finger. The wind slammed a door shut against which Henry had his hand, and the finger was taken right off and dropped to the floor. He has suffered intense pain and agony from this injury.
We note among the list of honor students in the freshman class two sons of 1901, Parker Carpenter and M. H. Lane. Those so listed must have a rank of 3.2 (whatever that means) or better. These boys must be good, however, to hold such marks, because it is the general understanding that it is no small job staying in college these days.
Copied from the bulletin of the Dartmouth College Club of New York: "Frank Cud worth's talk was well attended and was very interesting. After telling about the construction of the New York Edison East River Power Station he answered a lot of questions on bridge building and kindred subjects. The talk was illustrated and was well worth hearing."
"The class of 1900 is also breaking the class dinner ice May second. Meanwhile the 1901 bunch continues the even tenor of its wav with Bunker Bishop, Harry Gilmore, Jack Dowd and half a dozen others as regular attendants." (Remember the 1901 lunch always comes on the first Thursday of the month.)
The sympathy of the class will go out to Banker and Mrs. Hovey in the loss of their sixteen year old son, John Ross Hovey, who died at Phillips Andover Academy from injuries received when he fell from the third story of his dormitory while attempting to pass from one window to another.
Dr. Charles H. Merrill is now practicing medicine in Oskaloosa, la.
Warren Rugg's boy is a member of the sophomore class, and has just been pledged to Alpha Chi Rho. Roger Hildreth is also a member of this same class, and is rooming at Eddie Hunter's. Deacon gets up to Hanover very often to see Roger; he says it makes a good excuse to get back to the old town.
Johnnie and Alma Ward have returned from a trip through Southern France and Spain. Johnnie was feeling rather run down when he left, but has returned full of pep and is quite his old self again. So much so that he and Chan and Dungie recently played the Unicorn Course, and Johnnie was not the low man. There seems to be some difference of opinion as to who did get stuck. Dungie says he is no golfer, but came home with more in his pocket than when he started. Jim Kimball joined them at the 19th hole (played at Johnnie's house), and a summer round-up was talked over. The committee will consider any propositions made to them in regard to this proposed outing.
Frank Halliday was recently in Hanover visiting his son, who is a member of the senior class. frank is now located at Governor's Island, N. Y., still serving in the judge advocate's department with rank of major. The son is following in the footsteps of his father, as he is interested in debating and is also a prize speaker. We hope the New York crowd will look up Halliday and get him around to some of their luncheons.
Eddie Hunter, with Bill Gray '04 as chaperon, has recently returned from a trip to the West Indies. He was royally entertained in New York by Dr. Eliot Bishop and others of that loyal crowd of classmates. Edgar's oldest, son, Ralph, is a member of the freshman class, and we understand he has been taking honors, in his French courses.
The Secretary had the pleasure of attending the annual meeting of the Secretaries Association at Hanover May fifth and sixth, and it certainly was an enjoyable occasion. Practically every class from 1863 to 1931 was represented either by their secretary or by proxy. The contacts made between men of the older classes and the younger ones are most interesting, and these gatherings are always an inspiration and help. The oldest secretary present was John Scales of Dover, N. H„ of the class of 1863, and interesting to us is the fact he is the father of Bob Scales of our own class
If you have not already done so, remember Dungie Crowell has an addressed envelope already waiting to send your check along to Hanover. Let's not wait any longer to make our quota, but let's go over the top now.
Secretary, 254 Main St., Nashua, N. H.
