1901

The tornado that swept through Worcester and vicinity last summer just barely skipped Boy Haskell's home in Shrewsbury, although the roof was damaged and some trees uprooted. Many houses within a short distance from him were blown down or blown to bits. They were without electricity and telephone service for some time A cheery note from Don Page states he is still carrying on at the old place in Danielson, Conn., to which he retired some year ago Mort Crowell has a new address in Cleveland, and is now residing at the Hotel Allerton, 1802 East 13th Street.

...Our sincerest sympathy is extended to BertCloss in the death of his wife, May 20, while they were still in Florida Kitty Cate and his wife have moved from Hopedale, where they have made their home for many years, and have bought a new home in West Dennis, Mass., on Juniper Road. Jim and Floss Kimball called on them in July and found them just getting settled.

The Class Officers Meetings were held in Hanover the first of May, and Eddie Hunter,Johnnie Ward and Steve Stevens represented the class. These meetings are an inspiration and it is always a pleasure to return to Hanover in the spring to enjoy the old town at its best, to meet with men from classes covering a span of 70 years of college life, to receive interesting information and sidelights of the College from the administration and particularly to reune with Eddie and Edna, and Johnnie and Alma. Marion and I deeply appreciate the opportunity the Class gives us of attending these gatherings and to enjoy the pleasure of such comradeship and genuine friendliness, and we are very grateful.

Eleven men of the Class attended the 7-Year Class Dinner held in Boston in April, these included Chan Cox, Kitty Cate, Louie Crone,Waldo Davis, Bill Cheever, Tom McGovern,George French, Claude Butterfield, T. Wood,Kid Barnard, and Johnnie Ward Once again our sincerest thanks and deepest gratitude to Johnnie Ward for his remarkable showing in the Alumni Fund drive the past year.... Kid Barnard had to make a hurried trip to the hospital in May for the removal of his appendix, but is now back home and feeling like himself again. He greatly enjoyed seeing so many of the class and those of other classes at the Boston dinner Bunker andPearl Bishop entertained Joe and MaudeRaphael and Marion and Steve Stevens at the University Club in New York early this summer and a most delightful evening was spent. Joe and Bunker were at their best so you can all imagine there was never a dull moment.

Roxy Jordan McCarten's ashes were interred in the family lot in Lancaster, N. H., in August, and we were very glad that Fred Carpenter could represent the Class at these services.
