1901

Edgar Hunter got what was coming to him, at least that is newspaper comment. The New Hampshire Federation of Taxpayers Association gave him a plaque, and with it "The Good Citizenship Award" last June, as the outstanding citizen in the State. The years of devoted public service given by Edgar to the Community, the Church, the State, the Hospital, other Social Agencies of the State, the New England Council, the county, and in the Legislature proved to all that he certainly well deserved the honor. As one paper said, "Ed. is a good citizen, always has been and always will be, he was built that way". The class can well be proud of their president who has served them in that position since 1901.

Another award of interest to the class was the Doctor of Laws degree awarded to StanQua by Harvard University in June. Pres. Conant's citation was as follows, "Stanley Elroy Qua, long a member of the judiciary, a judge's judge, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts; his pithy opinions combine good law and good sense."

At the annual meeting of the trustees of the Daniel Webster Home for Children, held June 10 in Franklin, New Hampshire, EugeneW. Leach was reelected president of the corporation.

The annual dinner of the First Five Classes of the Century was held in Boston in May, and was largely attended, and, as usual, was voted a most happy time. 14 men from our class answered the roll call. They were Bryant,Butterfield, Calderwood, Cheever, Cate, Cox,Cudworth, Davis, Dow, French, Leavens, McGovern, Page and Wood.

Bob Leavens spoke of his work in the Baker Library this summer, in connection with his study of Dr. Tucker's writings.

Harold and Dora Hathaway announced the marriage of their daughter, Constance Preble, to Mr. Constantine Courtoglous, Saturday, June 26, 1948, at the Christ Episcopal Church, Andover, Massachusetts.

Ted Morehouse recently returned from a trip to the Philippines, his first one west of San Francisco, and he found it tremendously interesting and stimulating, and a wonderful experience to fly the Pacific both ways.

There have been several mentions made of grandchildren in the class, and now GeneDow comes across with the information that he has six, and they are all boys.

Ted Hancock, writing to Johnnie Ward, says he has dropped from 217 pounds to 168, but feels good, so he has no great kick coming, and expects to make the 50th with colors flying. He has played no golf for some years, but his eyes are better and with new contact lenses expects much more improvement.

ROYAL B. THAYER 'Ol, "Rubber" to his Dartmouth friends, appears to be doing royally these days.

Secretary and Treasurer, 1371 Locust Rd., N.W., Washington, D. C.
