CLASS OF 1901
You will all recall that Ted Morehouse won the famous bunch of Unifruit bananas offered by the distinguished special representative of the United Fruit Company, Mr. Verson W. Gooch, to the first grandfather in the class. We are now pleased to say that a consolation prize has been awarded to Gus Hartigan, and said bunch of bananas is on its way to the Hartigan home in Chicago. We are also authorized to announce one more bunch for the third position in the race, also a bunch of red bananas to the winning grandfather member of the duplicity committee (pardon us, the publicity committee), and finally an extra fine crate of pineapples to Dr. Gardy Cobb, should he ever qualify in the grandfather class.
Bob Leavens advises he lives next door but one to Ted Morehouse, and so they see each other frequently. Ted still plays the piano and sings to his own accompaniment. Aside from selling books and making music his next enthusiasm is golf.
As a contest judge Chan Cox is getting considerable experience. A recent note from Hanover states that he is to act as one of the judges for the prize offered for the best setting to Richard Hovey's song, "Our Liege Lady Dartmouth." We also note that he served in a similar capacity in the sixth annual Simonds economic essay contest. The subject of this contest was "Who Ultimately Pays the Taxes," and the prizes, the first of $1000 and the second of $500, are offered by Alvin T. Simonds of the Simonds Saw and Steel Company of Fitchburg, Mass. Copied from a clipping in Mill Sup-plies; "As governor of the state of Massachusetts for two years, Mr. Cox was obliged to meet pressing problems in regard to taxation, and he has given the subject a very thorough study."
Pa Rollins has again been elected to the board of selectmen of the town of Brookline, Mass. We do not know how long Pa has held down this job, but we do know that it has been a long while, and he is still going strong, as he ran second in the recent election.
February 7 found nine loyal 1901 men assembled for lunch at the New York Dartmouth Club. These included Gilmore, Raphael, C. W. Kimball, Marsh, Rugg, Dowd, Mason, Bishop, and Stevens.
Goochie's official title is now Traveling Special Representative, United Fruit Company, 1 Federal St., Boston, Mass. He has taken up a residence at 302 Eighth Ave., Asbury Park, N. J. He has been enjoying the gay life of Cuba and Central America the past month or so.
The Secretary was recently in Auburn, N. Y., and had the very great pleasure of meeting with George G. Goodelle, who was with us freshman year. Goodelle now is with Carter-Powell Company, Inc., bonds, of Rochester, N. Y.; he lives in Auburn, and represents this firm in the counties adjacent to that city. Goodelle retains his interests in the college and the class, and we were kept busy answering his many eager questions in regard to old friends. He is the champion father of 1901, as far as we have ever been able to learn. There are five boys and five girls in his family. Three boys have already graduated from Colgate University, where they all made a name for themselves in football and other sports. The next oldest boy is ready for college this fall, and he will either go to Dartmouth or Colgate. Two of the girls have been through college. Certainly a wonderful record of graduates in one family. Goodelle has promised to come on to Hanover for the 30th in 1931.
Secretary, 254 Main St., Nashua, N. H.
