CLASS OF 1906

Steve Cushing, with Mrs. Cushing and their nine-year-old son, paid a fleeting visit to Hanover not long ago. He is well and happy, and gives a similar account of his twin brother Joe in Springfield, as well as of Earle St. Clair, the other '06 man in St. Albans.

Norman Russell has added to his business activities recently by organizing and managing the Independence Finance Company of Newburyport. Norm, by the way, wishes the delinquents in the class would send in their taxes to save him the bother of billing them a second time.

Nat Leverone is now president of the Automatic Canteen Company, which distributes nationally advertised products through vending machines.

Twenty-two members of the class (counting wives) gathered at the Parker House in Boston on the eve of the Harvard game for the annual class dinner. Several more had signified their intention of attending, but were prevented by the inclemency of the weather, which you will remember continued for twenty-four hours thereafter, spoiling a good football game. The Parker House put up its customary excellent meal, and everyone present had a darned good time. Those present were Con Chellis and Mrs. Chellis from Springfield, Harvey Whittemore and Mrs. Whittemore from Waltham, Joe Smith and Mrs. Smith and their friends, Mr. and Mrs. Parker, from Burlington, Vt., Francis Childs and Mrs. Childs from Hanover, Nate Redlon and his son Franklin from Portland, Me., Henry Thrall from Minneapolis, Nat Leverone from Chicago, Tubby Gray from New York, Norm Russell from Newburyport, Tom Connell from Walpole, and Roy Denison, Walter Powers, Ned French, and Charlie Main from Boston.

Before the dinner, the officers of the class met to lay plans for the coming reunion. In spite of hard times, we hope to make our twenty-fifth reunion the biggest ever. In order to accomplish that, it is projected to keep expenses down by making the entire affair as simple as possible, laying stress on the reunion itself rather than on externals of show and dress. The class will soon be circularized in regard to details, but in the meantime let everyone begin to lay his plans to come to Hanover in June.
