St. Louis Club

The St. Louis Alumni Association suffered a great loss on Saturday, April 27, when Harry S. Holbrook was accidentally killed by a train in Webster Groves. Harry, although never a student at Dartmouth, had always maintained an active interest in the College near which he was born and raised and this interest was renewed when his son Russell Holbrook '29 entered the College. We, of the Alumni Association, know how much we owe to Mr. Holbrook for his interest and constant activity, and all members of the College who came into contact with the St. Louis group realized what an important cog he was in ourmachinery. It is a pleasant thing to consider the spirit of such a man who became one of us and with a full heart we pay it tribute.

Our monthly smoker was held at the home of our new president, Pete Grace, and considering the circumstances was quite successful. The picnic date was definitely set for the twenty-sixth of this month and it looks to be a gala affair. Phil Bassett '30 has offered his family's newly purchased estate near St. Albans on the Missouri River for the occasion.

Bob Rolfe and Marty Kerwin were two out-of-town visitors in the past month. Marty is really not a visitor as his home is in St. Louis. However, his job is in Chicago and that is what counts. Bob is an annual visitor with the New York Yankees and like the robins comes with spring. This last trip was full of rain so it amounted to nothing more than a visit. Again we urge those passing through the City to attend our weekly luncheons on Saturdays at the Mark Twain Hotel.
