1901

The class was well represented at the fiveclass dinner held in Boston last May, 15 men answering the roll call. "T" Wood presided as toastmaster and did a bang-up job as you might expect. The following men were in attendance, Bryant, Butter field, Calderwood,Cate, Cheever, Harry Clark, Cox, Davis, Dow,George French, Jim Kimball, McGovern,Ward, Page, and Wood.

Jim and Floss Kimball took a trip to the Shrine Convention in Los Angeles in June and had a grand visit with Jim Jr. '31 and his wife and three children. Harry and GraceGilmore have purchased a new home in New Canaan, Conn., and are busy with rearrangements, new electrical equipment, new kitchen gadgets, etc. Their new home brings them near both of their children. Frank Lowe has been spending the summer as usual at his summer home down in Maine, and he reports seeing "Ping" several times. Registered at the Inn at Hanover this summer we note Frank and Elsie Cudworth, Tom and BessMcGovern and Arthur Sampson LarryHardy writes he and Mrs. Hardy are enjoying being back in Vermont, and they feel they are fortunate in having a home there. They are thinking of spending the winter there instead of in New Jersey with their daughter.

Ed Hunter still keeps up his busy active life. He is Chairman of the New Hampshire Public Service Commission, which keeps him in Concord most of the week. He is also Chairman of the New Hampshire Council of the New England Council for Economic Development and Regional Cooperation.

His two sons, Ralph '31 and Ted '38, have purchased the northern portion of Balch Hill and they are developing this tract as a residential section. Both of them have completed new modern houses in a most wonderful location overlooking Hanover Plain and the Vermont hillsides. Ted and his wife were the architects for both houses, and they are at work on several others in this same restricted area.

Once again we were privileged to attend the annual Secretaries Meeting in Hanover in June, and our thanks to the class for the opportunity of being in Hanover and to enjoy the contacts with the College, with those who are carrying on there and with other secretaries. It is always an inspiration and a delight to meet with these men and to discuss mutual problems.

ELIZABETH MACPHERSON STEVENS

On Sunday, August 20, came the end to a long and painful illness for Beth Stevens, and for her brave, cheerful; generous spirit a new place in the thoughts of those who knew her, as a radiant living reality.

It was in 1913 that she matriculated by act of marriage to Stevie as a distaff member of 1901, and from then on her devotion to the class, to Dartmouth, and to Hanover was like that of the most ardent alumnus. To her services at home, in the community, and for the Government she added that of assisting Stevie in his labor of love as secretary of the class. At our reunions we felt her influence, cordial and solicitous. What we did not know was the amount of time, energy, and love which she gave to preparing for the reunions, and to Stevie's month-by-month, year-by-year attentions to the personal concerns of the members of the class, their wives, their children, their goings and comings, their fortunes and misfortunes.

When we think of the class we are reminded of Stevie, and now, more than ever, of Beth.
