Class of 1916
The Cleveland University Club takes on a very decided 1916 hue with Fletch Andrews as president and Carl Holmes as a member of the literature and art committee.
Bob Dana has just completed a six months wool-gathering trip, which has taken him through Australia and New Zealand.
Announcement of the engagement of John Ames to Miss Adelaide Clifford has just been published by the New York papers. Miss Clifford was educated at the Institut des Essart in Montreaux, Switzerland, and at Miss Todhunter's school in New York. The wedding will take place some time during the coming fall.
As you read these notes, you will all please remember that there are but 20 days left in which to get your contribution to the Alumni Fund in. The closing date is June 30, and hence speed is necessary if you are going to aid the fund this year.
On April a a smoker was held in Boston for the new coaches of the football team. The class of 1916 was represented by Howard Parker, Jake Story, Bob Burlen, Jack English, Cliff Bean, Dick Parkhurst, John McAuliffe, Joe Newmark, Sam Cutler, Rod Soule, Duffy Lewis, and Gran Fuller.
At the annual banquet of the Dartmouth Club of Northern New Jersey held on April 7, Bill Banton was the sole representative of the class present.
Ed Gumbart has shaken the dust of Dayton from his feet, and is now located at Storrs, Conn. What his occupation is 1 am unable to tell you.
A. L. McMillan has left Philadelphia and now resides in Washington, D. C. He is connected with Barber & Ross, who are located at 11th and G Sts., N. W.
Two more to add to the millions that call New York City their home. Leigh Rogers is at the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce at aa East 40th St., and Jake Mensel with T'hos. L. Leedom Cos. of 295 sth Ave.
Paul Corwin still with the U. S. Army and Navy Club, but this time in sunny California—to locate him definitely, 6th and Spring Sts., Los Angeles.
Remember June 30 is the closing date for the Alumni Fund.
Fletch Andrews has recently come into a lot of publicity due to the fact that he had considerable to do with the lawyers' recent party and play for the amusement of all lawyers of Cleveland. Also that he has been elected to Nisi Prius, a lawyers' honorary club of Cleveland.
Roger Evans has asked me to call your attention to the fact that if all the men reading the magazine last year had contributed to the Alumni Fund—and if you are one of the ai who did not, it is to you that we wish to bring this to bear,—the class would have stood 18th instead of 29th in number of contributors and about 6th instead of 10th in the amount of contributions. That is something well worth thinking about. If your check is not in yet—mail it today.
The annual May party of the Boston group was held Thursday, May 10, at the Belleview Golf Club, Melrose. A threesome, consisting of Gran Fuller, Jake Story, and myself were the only ones that indulged in golf, the weather in the morning being so wet that it discouraged the others. That night, fourteen men gathered for dinner. Those present were the three mentioned above, Jack English, Tog Upham, Bert Phinney, Howard Renfrew, Charlie Cressy, Parker Hayden, Cliff Bean, Joe Newmark, Ernie Cutler, Dan Dinsmoor, and John Monahan. A short discussion was held concerning the Alumni Fund, and the meeting adjourned about midnight after deciding to hold another party at Jake Story's home which would include fishing, rather than golf.
A card from Ralph George indicating that he might attend the party gave us the information that he was among those present at the Kentucky Derby.
John McAuliffe promised to show up for the party, weather permitting. As it cleared up at noon time we were all expecting him, but guess it must have been raining in Worcester, as there was no John on the scene.
