Class of 1901
Jim McCarten is now located in Boston, with the Home Owners Loan Corp., at 150 Causeway St. Both he and Roxy are very glad to be back in New England again. Swampy Marsh is back at his old job of division engineer with the Board of Water Supply for the City of New York. His family continued to live at the home in White Plains while Swampy was in Washington. Swampy's son, John Lowry "Marsh, Middlebury '33, was united in marriage with Miss Ella Spurgeon Nogle, at White Plains, N. Y., October 16, 1936. Addison Rugg, Dartmouth '30, was one of the ushers. The young couple will reside in White Plains.
The usual class family supper was held at the Algonquin Club, Commonwealth Ave., Boston, after the Harvard-Dartmouth game, and was a most enjoyable affair. The attendance of out-of-towners was noticeable, there being very few of the old Boston crowd out. Skunk Hathaway, Johnnie Ward, Jim Kimball, and other crooners tried out all the old songs, but they didn't go so well until Gene Hall came to their rescue; then they seemed to click, and how the harmony did ring out.
Skunk and Dora Hathaway had with them as their guests Mr. and Mrs. Shultz, and perhaps Mr. Shultz is not some card manipulator and sleight-of-hand artist. His entertainment was well worth real money, and he even had Johnnie Ward guessing.
The New York crowd was well repre- sented, with Bunker and Pearl Bishop and son Warren with two of his friends, Warren and Leila Rugg from White Plains, Howard and Gene Hall from Cobleskill, Carl and Shirley Owen from the big city, and Tommie Remsen with son Tom and daughter Anne from Hudson Falls. The rest included Johnnie and Alma Ward, Henry and Mildred Taylor, Chan and May Cox, Henry and Lucia Solomon, with their guests Dr. and Mrs. Whitmarsh, Steve and Beth Stevens and Everett Jr., Jim and Roxy McCarten, Deacon and Alice Hildreth, Gene and Katherine Leach, and Jim and Floss Kimball.
There was a very hot golf match at the South Shore Country Club, Hingham, Mass. (Jim Kimball's club) one day recently. Jim McCarten and Johnnie Ward challenged Jim Kimball and any member of his club he might choose, and naturally Jim chose his club champion, George Perry. Jim McCarten and Johnnie gave their opponents a sound trimming. Their scream- ing drives splitting the fairways, the precision of their approaches, trap shots, and puts, held the large gallery spellbound in wonder and amazement. One onlooker remarked that the shots of Johnnie and Mac looked like rifle range practice. Mac and Johnnie were carried to the showers on the shoulders of some of the enthusiastic members of the gallery. Incidentally Jim Kimballs' boast that he always beats Johnnie is now "out the window," for no redskin ever bit the dust more decidedly than did Jim in his side match with Johnnie, and listen —the account of this match was not sent by Jim to the Boston papers.
Harry and Grace Gilmore report a marvelous automobile trip to the Pacific Coast and back this fall. They saw Jimmie Fones in Santa Monica, also Bob Leavens in Berkeley. They were sorry to miss Harry Stearns in San Francisco; he had just left for his vacation.
Lucille Hathaway (Skunk's oldest girl) is studying at Grasslands Hospital, Valhalla, N. Y., and will be graduated soon.
William D. Crowell (Bill's son) is connected with the United Shoe Machinery Corp. in the Boston office.
Bill Cheever reports a most successful season at his "Allan A" Camps on Route 28 out of Wolfeboro, N. H., and plans to keep open late this fall. Bill Crowell stopped there this summer, and he reports Bill has a fine place, good beds, and good eats.
Secretary, 37 Berkeley St., Nashua, N. H.
