CLASS OF 1907
The annual dinner in Boston of the Alumni Association on March 1, was attended by,' Crocker, Ashley, Liscomb, Shattuck, Walker, Stevens, Wyman, Cochrane, and Woodworth.
And one of the chief guests of the evening was Ben Washburn, who was also one of the principal speakers. It was disappointing not to have him at the table with the class group, but it was a privilege to share him with the others present.
It was an outstanding occasion and those who missed it were deprived of a rare opportunity to listen to the wonderful address by President Hopkins. It was one of the best he ever delivered.
Frank Crocker is now with the Day Trust Company at 45 Milk St., Boston. This company was organized about a year ago as an adjunct of Messrs. R. L. Day and Company, investment brokers. This company is conducting the business of an up-to-date trust company in all departments. Frank is assisting in securing new business.
Bob Cochrane is probably the only member of the class who has the distinction of being on the Harvard faculty. He has been instructing in the Medical School for seniors, and is now an assistant professor teaching a class of the fourth year men at the City Hospital for a period of six months in the year.
Harold Niles spent the last week in Feb- ruary at Pinehurst, N. C., with his oldest boy. He did a good deal of riding and played some golf. His vacation was preliminary to a hard month struggling with Wellesley town affairs. Harold is the chairman of the board of selectmen.
The Secretary just learned of two marriages of classmates. Jack Hammond was married in New Haven during the summer, and during the winter Dick Goode joined the benedicts.
Bob Kenyon and his wife are rejoicing over the arrival of twins on February 17, John Stevens and Richard Smith, the combined weight being 14 lbs., 10 oz. Harold Parker, who for many years has been one of the engineers for the United Fruit Company, recently resigned his position with that company, and has been seeking a new connection.
Bill Cummings, one of our active politicians, is again in the harness down in Maine, where he is exceedingly busy managing the campaign for Congressman White, who is running for the United States Senate. It is hoped that it won't be long before we hear of a campaign to make Bill the governor of Maine.
Dick and Lucy Lane have been anticipating a possible two months trip abroad, leaving some time early in April. Judge and Elisabeth McLane spent the week-end of March 1 skiing in the Laurentian Mountains.
In a recent letter from Chester Sandy, one of the Pennsylvania oil magnates, he writes of a very pleasant visit to Hanover with his family during the summer. If all goes well his son will enter College next fall.
Dick Southgate called on the Secretary the middle of February. He was spending a few days in Boston looking up classmates and other friends on his way to Woodstock. He expected to spend Washington's birthday in Hanover.
Bill Smart underwent a surgical operation the middle of February, and we are glad to report that he has made a satisfactory recovery.
Secretary, 131 State St., Boston
