1901

The Merrimack County Dartmouth Alumni Association announces the election of Eugene W. Leach to its presidency. Ned Warren writes that he finds it necessary to shovel snow quite frequently, but he does only enough of it to work up a desire to eat a double portion for dinner. He ought to look fat and healthy when we see him in July Doug Vanderhoof and Nancy are on a motor trip to San Diego, Calif., where they will visit with Mrs. Vanderhoof's brother, Colonel Selden, of the Marine Corps. Doug and Nancy are planning to be in Hanover in July. George Pingree and his wife left New York recently for Delray Beach, Fla., where they will remain until Spring Frank Lowe who is now retired says he finds it hard not to have active work to do. He states that his plans for the summer are such that it will be impossible for him to be in Hanover in July. Possibly if a number of the class write him urging him to come, he may change his mind.

Rush Newcomb is spending the winter in St. Petersburg, Fla The youngest daughters of Bill O'Leary announced their engagements on the same day recently. His two oldest boys, each o£ whom served as lieutenants in the Navy, have been released and are now at home. Another son, his youngest boy, is doing hotel work in Miami, and his oldest daughter is teaching in the Lawrence High School. Bill can well feel proud of having rated such a fine family Clarence Phelps has left his home in Michigan for an automobile trip south, and expects to spend most of his time in and about Nashville.

Boy Haskell forwards us a recent clipping from the Worcester Telegram, featuring a column "The Good Old Days," 25 years ago. Governor-elect Channing H. Cox, December 31, 1920, plays a heroic role on the Fenway, Boston. A pair of runaway horses, dashing down the street, near a number of terrorstricken children. Cox leaps for the bridle of one horse and catches it. He is dragged 100 feet, but brings the horses to a stop. Eyewitnesses say his feat was more thrilling than many seen in the movies.

Ted Hancock was a full-blooded farmer this past summer with a large victory garden. He is an expert with the spade and a scythe, none better, so he claims. Ted had to have a cataract removed from one of his eyes last October, and may have to go through a similar operation on the other eye.

Your secretary was in error about Frank Cudworth accepting a position with Kaiser in California. "Cuddy" and his wife were simply on an auto tour to California to visit their daughter, and, incidently, classmates along the way. They had a delightful call on the Leavens, and saw "Elfie" Salinger in San Francisco. He tried to see Jim Fones in Los Angeles but was advised by Jim's nurse that he had been an invalid for over three years. The Cudworths are now in St. Petersburg, but expect to come north this spring, and certainly will be in Hanover for the Reunion.
