CLASS OF 1901

Jim Smith Jr. is following in his father's footsteps, having played all the season on the Governor Dummer Academy eleven, and by the way this team must be good, they have only lost two games since 1928.

Joe Raphael has been elected president of the New York Surgical Society, and has been appointed professor of clinical surgery at Long Island Medical College.

At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Macmillan Company, publishers, 60 sth Ave., New York, Ted Morehouse was elected to the board of directors.

Andy Marshall has had an operation on his football knee, and is now reported to be coming along O.K.

Following our custom for a number of years, the class met for an informal get-together at the Algonquin Club, Boston, after the Harvard-Dartmouth game, Saturday night, November 7. The privileges of the Club, with its splendid service and attractive rooms, are available to us through the courtesy of Johnnie and Alma Ward, and we certainly appreciate their hospitality and kindness. Everyone got there as soon after the game as possible, and it was just another of those 1901 family affairs, where there is no formality, and each and every one seems glad to see the other once again. Bob and Mrs. Leavens were on from the Pacific coast, and it was a pleasure to have them with us again after a number of years' absence from class gatherings. A proposed birthday party for Bunker Bishop was considered and discussed at some length. At the conclusion of the debate the Secretary is still not certain whether it was decided that the party was given by Bunker or to Bunker, any way it is to be January 18,1932, in New York city. Any one in New York or Brooklyn can tell you where Bunker can be reached, so do not forget the date, and be sure and be there, for a good time is assured. We noted the following at the Algonquin Club that evening: Bob and Mrs. Leavens, Johnnie and Alma Ward, Florence Gene Ward, Eliot and Pearl Bishop, Chan and Mary Cox, Henry and Lucia Salomon, Henry and Mildred Taylor, Steve and Beth Stevens, Ted and Eva Hancock, Deacon Hildreth and guest, Miss Smith, Gene and Mrs. Leach and two daughters, Ned and Hope Calderwood, Jim and Floss Kimball, and Mr. and Mrs. John Merchant, guests of the Salomons.

The annual alumni dinner of the Boston Association was held early this year, as a part of the celebration in honor of the Stanford game, and occurred Friday night, November 27, at the Copley Plaza Hotel. Jim Kimball and Johnnie Ward kept open house in Room 115 all the afternoon, and a number of the class availed themselves of this opportunity of reuning again. This year the class was seated at tables' in the balcony, and the ventilating system is such up there that those afflicted like Chan Cox, T. Wood, and others were somewhat discommoded by the drafts of cold air. Seated around the 1901 table were Crone, French, Leavens, Cox, Rollins, Calderwood, Taylor, Whelan, Jim Kimball, Ward, Wood, Warren, and Hildreth. Bill Bryant moved up a class and was with 1900. Arthur Sampson got lost in the shuffle, and we are not certain whether he got any dinner or not.

Only a few of the class were able to get to the Algonquin Club after the Stanford game, but those attending report a jolly dinner party and a very good time. These included Henry and Lucia Salomon, Tommie and Ethel Remsen, Ted and Eva Hancock, Joe Raphael, Bob Leavens, and John and Alma Ward.

We are sorry to hear that Ben Bond has been obliged to resign from his position as president of the Third National JBank and Trust Company of Springfield, Mass., on account of his health. Ben has been there about 19 months, following the resignation of Frederick M. Jones. Ben says that his retirement from banking activities was to be "temporary at least." Before going to Springfield Ben was vice-president of the Rochester Trust Company of Rochester, N. H., having been instrumental in merging the Rochester Loan and Banking Company, the Rochester National Bank, and the Norway Plains Savings Bank into the trust company of which he became executive officer. We shall hope that Ben's retirement is only for a short time surely, and that he will soon be back at his desk.

Secretary, 37 Berkeley St., Nashua, N. H.
