CLASS OF 1901
T. Wood served as one of the bearers at the funeral services in Middleboro, Mass., for Albert Henry Washburn, late United States minister to Austria.
Charlie Prescott has become the owner and skipper of a deep-sea-going yacht. This summer he plans to make the trip up the coast and down the St. Lawrence River, into the Great Lakes. The New York crowd are all being nice to Charlie now, in hopes of being taken along as cabin boys, kitchen police, or even deck-scrubbers. At the June lunch in New York Harry
Gilmore, Frank Cudworth, Hastings Lyon, Jack Dowd, and Steve Stevens answered to the roll-call. Constructive criticism and suggestions were offered and discussed, all for the good of the class organization.
In March Bunker Bishop arranged for a class dinner at the New York city University Club in honor of the Boston members of the class. It was a most enjoyable affair, and thanks are due Bunker for his courtesy and hospitality. Tliose present were Charlie Kimball, Bunker Bishop, Ben Greer, Carl Owen, Joe Raphael, Paul Burleigh, Harry Gilmore, Jack Dowd, Warren Rugg, Swampy Marsh, George Pingree, Tommie Remsen, Hardy, and Don Page. Perhaps you will fail to note the names of any of the Boston men attending. Well, Bunker noticed this, too. We do hope that if he arranges another such party in their honor, at least one will be delegated to represent the members from Boston, and efforts made to see that said delegate attends.
The first man to register for attendance at the 30th Reunion is the one who has the greatest distance to come and under the greatest handicaps. We call that loyal class spirit. This is Bill Sykes all the way from Porto Rico, and he assures us he will be on hand in June. The committee has been asked to see that stoves are provided and fireplaces lighted, so that Bill will not have to wear his overcoat and mittens, as he did four years ago. Bill reports a prosperous season, and hopes to recoup most of his losses experienced in the severe cyclone of last year. He also reports that he has a brand-new lot of Porto Rican stories; if they are equal to those he had at the last reunion they will well be worth the trip to Hanover just to hear them.
The last we know of Goochie he had been touring the Middle States and was due back to New England, preparatory for leaving for a three months' trip to the tropics.
Deacon Hildreth has been re-elected treasurer of the Dartmouth Club of Lowell, Mass.
Warren and Mrs. Rugg were in Hanover for Commencement this year. Their son Addison graduated with the class of 1930.
Eddie Hunter took a hurried trip to New York city to see son Ralph sail for a trip abroad. He returned to Hanover in time to see and talk with the other 1901 men who were back for Commencement.
Dr. Charles Whelan was one of the bearers at the funeral of the late Mrs. Curley, wife of Mayor James H. Curley of Boston.
The publicity committee desire to report that preliminary arrangements have been completed for the 30th Reunion of the class, to be held June 19 to 23, 1931. Dungie Crowell and Steve Stevens, with their legal adviser and assistant secretary pro-tem Deacon Hildreth, motored to Hanover for Commencement, and were in conference with President Hopkins of the College and President Hunter of the class. Complete plans will now be worked out, and details will be in the mails from time to time, so that you will have complete information as to what will be going on and when, and can be making your plans to be with us on that occasion. Any suggestions, however, will be greatly appreciated and given due consideration. If you have any ideas of what you would like to do, or if you want different arrangements than in years past, just let the committee know. They are open-minded, and really their only desire is to give you the very best reunion ever.
At the graduation of the Nashua Junior High School in June, the Lions Club Cup, given to that girl of the graduating class who typifies the best in school activities, scholarship, and citizenship, was awarded to Mary Elizabeth Stevens.
Royal Thayer, Jr., graduated from the Riverside High School, and received a $15 prize given by the Lions Club for the best essay on "World Peace." Out of 600 essays sent in by Riverside county high school students his was considered the best.
Copied from Mac Rollins' Bulletin of the New York Club: "Springfield Gets a New Banker "Down from Rochester, N. H., to Springfield has come B. Q. Bond of the class of 1901 to take command of the Third National Bank and Trust Company. Being a banker in Springfield would, offhand, seem to indicate less time for indulging in surreptitious golf than being one in southern New Hampshire where in almost any town it is practically but a mashie pitch from office to tee. Looking through the catalogue it appears that this class of 1901 is pretty well supplied with bankers, strategically located at intervals around the country. Probably no 1901er ever really gets far from assistance."
