1927

As we start once more to pound out our monthly blurb for the MAGAZINE, we are again reclining more or less comfortably in the Newton Hospital. Two weeks of golf in Bermuda proved too much for our aging legs, so we are back in bed with a flare-up of the phlebitis which, among other things, laid us low two years ago. Ain't it hell to get old and start cracking up? The old kick seems to be responding to treatment, however, and we expect to be back in circulation in another week.

While in Bermuda we read in the paper the list of entrants and scores after the first day of play of the Mid Ocean Golf Championship. Among the entrants was one G. W. Rodormer from Chicago. We immediately assumed that it must be Win until we looked at the score column and saw the figures 105. On the off chance that Win's game might have fallen considerably during the past ten years we called the Mid Ocean Club and learned that he was at the Bermudiana. Not to be done out of the pleasure of seeing an old classmate we took a ferry from Belmont to Hamilton and had him paged at the Bermudiana. Our man turned out to be not Win, but his father, with whom we spent a very delightful hour in the Cedar Bar. Win can still shoot considerably better than 105. In fact the low seventies is nearer to his normal game. Win is married and has two sons and a daughter. We gathered from his very modest father that Win is doing a grand job with the Reliable Electric Company in Chicago.

The sick list in Boston this past week included Charlie Bartlett, Gus Cummings, and Bill St. Amant, all suffering from grippe. The first two are now up and around, and the latter according to last reports was on the mend.

The Worcester Telegram of February 18 carried an article with the following heading: "Paul R. O'Connell Slated as Aide to City Solicitor." The article says in part: "With the resignation yesterday of Robert E. Marshall as first assistant city solicitor.... Paul Revere O'Connell, 32 Drury Lane, is slated for appointment to the law department, it was disclosed last night.

"Mr. O'Connell has been associated with George H. Mirick and Douglas Whitcomb since he was admitted to the practice of law in 1930. He is a native of Revere, although he has lived in Worcester since he was three years old.

"He is a graduate of Adams Square School, North High School, where he completed the four-year course in three and a half years, Dartmouth College, and Harvard Law School, class of 1930. "While at Dartmouth he was captain of the golf team.

"He is a member of the Worcester County Republican Club, Ward 1 Republican Club, and the Young Men's Republican Club. Other affiliations include the Dartmouth, Harvard, and University Clubs of Worcester, and the Worcester County Bar Association. His fraternity is Sigma Nu. He is married and has two children, Ann and Mary Lee O'Connell. He received his given name, Paul Revere, from the fact that he was born on Revere's birthday, in Revere, and just off the corner of Revere St."

We need not add that on February 20 the Worcester City Council officially confirmed Paul's appointment.

Our favorite Worcester reporter, who incidentally is Sherm Baldwin '23 (this ought to make some of you '27 clams blush with shame), informs us that last September Roy Blanchard bought an old farm on Moose Mountain in Etna, about 8 miles from Hanover. The place apparently has marvelous possibilities, and Roy plans to restore it as rapidly as time and the other well-known necessity permits. The Roy-Toy Company, previously reported in this column, is still going strong.

To Harvey Jones we are indebted for sending us a newspaper clipping of great interest to all '27 men. The Chicago DailyTribune of February 11 carried the following: "Munnecke Will Head All Marshall Field Manufacturing Work. Promotion of W. C. Munnecke to a position in which he assumes responsibility for all branches of the Marshall Field Sc Cos. manufacturing division was announced yesterday by Frederick D. Corley, president.

"Munnecke has been retail operating manager. He will move his headquarters to New York and operate under the general supervision of H. M. Mcßain, first vice president.

"The new appointee is 32 years old, a native of St. Louis, and a Dartmouth graduate. He joined the Marshall Field organization in 1935 and was placed in charge of retail operations in June 1937."

Congratulations, Bill. Chicago's loss will be New York's gain, and may that ever active New York gang gather you within its fold immediately.

Harv Jones advises that he hopes to make Commencement this year and take in the New York Fair on the way home. If we only had a little influence with Grover Whelan we'd postpone the fair until 1942, so that youse guys and youse gals from the West could take it in as you come East for the Fifteenth.

From Monty Phillips, a bit of good news as follows: "In answer to your plea for a bit of news, I can supply you with one item only, and one which is of great importance to us, but hardly of a nationwide description. Jane presented me with a second boy last Thursday, so we now have a couple of them to peddle papers for us. The father did much better this time, I might add."

This column is disgustingly short, but that's all there is. There isn't anymore. We still need more and better Winchells!
