Class of 1923
Nearly every time we hear from our Chicago correspondent, Ward Hilton, he mentions the doings of J. Dudley Pope, and each time Dud seems to have crashed through with some new form of recognition. If my memory serves me right, his last accomplishment was winning a championship or two at bridge. Now he is seeking other fields to conquer. The following news item appeared recently in the Chicago Tribune:
"J. W. Pope of Chicago upset JackGordon of St. Louis today to win singleschampionship of the Western Squash Racquet Assn. tournament. The scores were:15-13, 15,-12,12-15,15-12"
If any of you birds get into a jam, Ward says that Bill Ryan, attorney-at-law, of the firm Ryan, Condon, and Livingstone, will either get you out of it or get you hung. On the other hand, if the purchase of a few diamonds or a platinum wrist watch would be a quieter way of getting out of the afore-mentioned jam, it is suggested again by our Chicago correspondent that you visit the shop of William P. Juergens Co., jewelers, 31 North State St., Chicago.
With Bill Ryan in the law business and Bill Juergens in the jewelry business, the boys in Chicago at least should be well taken care of.
Our annual letter from the fair city of Rockford,Ill., has been received. Mr. William D. Knight '08 was not the correspondent last year, but through his kindness we are again informed that Karl Lundberg was re-elected president of the Rockford County Country Club. He is now serving his second term. We are also advised that Karl Williams is now the proud father of a daughter, who has grown to be quite a young lady—now being six months old.
A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of a visit with Bob Charles. For the sate of the record, it should be mentioned that Bob was either the youngest or the second youngest man to be graduated in IQM. Since leaving college, Bob has spent most of his time in the research division of the Dennison Manufacturing Company. He has taken for himself a most unusual hobby, which is a composition of music and playing the pipe organ. He adopted this interesting work as a hobby after leaving college, and the further he went with it, the more interesting it became. He has composed music in collaboration with a professor at Boston University (whose name I have forgotten), and Bob has also done some church work in connection with his organ playing ability.
Another '23 man also with Dennison Manufacturing Company, Jim Young, star long distance man on track teams of the early 20's, is in the warehouse division.
Lee Sargent is reported as being a lawyer with a financial turn of mind. Lee is associated with the firm of Powers & Hall in Boston and is a member of the town finance committee of Winchester.
SOOTHES IRATE PHONE USERS
Matt Jones is manager of the Brooklyn office of the New York Telephone Company. He is also the proud father of a daughter 6½ years old, and has a very polite manner in handling irate telephone users who fail to get their nickel back.
Roy Height is a salesman with the Texas Company. He has a son 7 years old and a daughter about 6 months old.
Ken Quencer is one of the fellows who take care of the New York crowd who get themselves into jams. He is a lawyer with the firm of Budd & Coffey. A young lady by the name of Jeannette Ruth Quencer, age 7, calls him Daddy.
Sherm Baldwin suffered the loss of his father recently, so the news from New England will hold over for the next issue. As readers of this column already know, Sherm has been a mighty faithful correspondent.
FIFTEEN YEARS AGO THIS MONTH
Of seven men who made letters on the 1922 basketball team, four were '23 nien. They were Joe Millar, captain in his junior year, Timmy Cullen, Don Moore, and Frank Heep.
On the hockey team were Jock Osborne- John Foster, Mort Fletcher, and Chuck Calder.
Joe Houston, junior class president, conceived the idea of a junior class dinner. It was held in Commons—food was well above average, Prexy Hopkins was the guest speaker. This tradition should live.
Secretary, 136 Liberty St., New York
