1928*

Secretary, Tucker, Anthony & Co. 120 Broadway, New York

The leading gathering of the class in recent months was the party put on by the Philadelphia '28ers at the Cornell-Dartmouth Club in the Quaker City on March 25. Members of that famous class and their wives and girls to the number of nineteen gathered early for cocktails, followed by delicious dinner, and brief speeches. For the rest of the evening the group moved to the living room of the club, enjoyed an hour of movies of the Tenth Reunion, and then played a number of very amusing games which had been arranged by Vera Flanagan. The many details in connection with the affair were ably handled by Johnny Flanagan and Dick Frame.

Those present were Warren and Alice Burding, Dick and Peg Frame, John and Vera Flanagan, Jack and Lois McLaughlin, George and Susan Pasfield, Tom and Gladys Talbot, Bill Watson, Miss Bernice Worrell, Ernie Wright and a young lady whose name we've lost, Bruce and Ernestina Lewis, and your Secretary. The last three drove over from New York for the week-end, the Lewises visiting Ernie Wright, and your Secretary being entertained by the Flanagans at their home in Roxborough.

As the result of years of experience writing for The Dartmouth and the '28Campaigner, we quite naturally were on the lookout for news for these columns. The arrival of Susan Hope Pasfield on July 22, 1938, was one of our imporant discoveries, and now we know why the Pasfields were unable to attend reunion. Alice Burding and Peg Frame missed reunion for the same reason; William Dart Burding arriving on the Philadelphia scene July 7 and Richard R. Frame Jr. arriving August 11. The next time an important reunion rolls around, you girls should plan things more carefully.

George Pasfield has been with the Arlen Corporation in Philadelphia for the past six months, financing real estate developments Dr. Bill Watson, of New Britain, Conn., is taking a postgraduate course in surgery at the University of Pennsylvania; when it is completed in October he is going back to his practice in New Britain Bill reported that George Coyle was elected mayor of New Britain last April by the largest plurality ever given a mayor of that city. Additional facts for the Fuller Information Department are that George was married in 1935 and has a daughter, Judith, born in January, 1937 Jack McLaughlin directs the advertising policies of the Campbell Soup Company over in Camden, N. J., and lives in Drexel Hill, Pa Tom Talbot is one of those famed Philadelphia lawyers, and commutes from Penn Wynne Warren Burding after ten years with Standard Brands, Inc., is assistant division manager in eastern Pennsylvania, supervising the distribution of Chase & Sanborn's coffee and Fleischmann's yeast Johnny Flanagan is a statistician with the investment firm of Fitch, Crossman & Co Dick Frame is in the advertising department of Gimbel Brothers; says he has taken about 50,000 assorted pictures and expects to continue taking them for a long time to come; incidentally he took a couple of excellent flashlight pictures of the '28 party in Philadelphia, getting everyone in the picture, which was no mean feat Ernie Wright is vice president of the E. A. Wright Company, engravers and printers.

28 AFTER ANOTHER RECORD

The selection of Red Edgar to be the class agent for the Alumni Fund assures the class excellent leadership in the stiff competition between Dartmouth's sixty- odd classes. Red's ability, enthusiasm, and popularity make him an ideal head agent. Let's get behind him and keep '28 out in front! Have you mailed your check in?

The newspapers of March 13 carried the following headlines: "Dartmouth Grid Star Weds Heiress," and went on to say,

"The marriage of Robert MacPhail, 36, former star quarterback at Dartmouth, and Miss Beatrice A. O'Keeffe, 33, daughter of the late Michael O'Keeffe, chain store magnate, has been announced here by her brother. He said the couple informed him by telegram that they were married on February 22 and were on their way to the West Coast. The bride, one of seven children, shared in her father's estate, estimated at $1,045,000 when it was filed for probate in 1931. MacPhail, a tutor, was captain of the Dartmouth football team in 1927."

Those who don't read the ALUMNI MAGAZINE from cover to cover may have missed the article in last month's issue telling of the model cabin submitted in a Dartmouth Outing Club contest by Myles Lane and Larry Lougee '29. They did a beautiful job and there isn't any doubt in our mind but that they will win first prize Harry Jewett has turned over to us a roll of color films of the Tenth Reunion which he just had developed; Harry is working for a utility company in Washington, but we hear that he may take a very attractive job in New York soon Bill Harris is a travel lecturer on the S.S. Bremen, making a 'round South America cruise.

Your Secretary spent a very delightful afternoon with Eleanor and Rupe Thompson in Providence just before Easter. Eleanor, who is president of her class at Smith, had written us for information about our 100% class subscription to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, so instead of writing we stopped off on our way to Fall River and delivered the information in person.
