1923*
This month's place of honor belongs to 23's "Men of the Sea." This picture of sailor Pete Jones doing something or other nautical aboard his yawl the Ayesha was snapped by Vic Cannon who had the pleasure of a day's cruise with Pete last summer. We have mentioned before the necessity of Pete's setting up a trophy room to house the sailing trophies he has won the past few years. In addition to sailing Pete and his wife Peggy are enthusiastic skiers as are their son and daughter, Pete 3rd, 10 and Leslie, 7. Lest it sound that Pete's life is all play, let it be understood that he puts in hours far in excess of the old NRA standards as one of the big guns of the Commonwealth Shoe and Leather Cos. of Whitman, Mass., manufacturers of the famed Bostonian Shoes.
Another mariner, Pem Whitcomb admirals (used advisedly) the Onkahya a sixty foot yawl. She was built in 1938, primarily for comfortable cruising but has turned out to be fairly fast and a good sea boat, so Pem has been able to garner his share of prizes also. While Pem and his wife Bernice manage to get in plenty of golf in the summer, some fishing in the Spring and gunning in the fall, he also saves considerable time for the "20th Century Press" financial printers in New York city of which Pem is President.
Still another sailing prize winner is Bill Welch, with a second place in Marblehead's Race Week especially notable because last summer was Bill's first crack at racing and at Marblehead he was up arainst as tough competition as he could „at anywhere. Details of his boat beyond the fact that it rates Town Class are missing but we do know that Bill is a lawyer with offices in Boston and residence in Salem.
A full page spread in a recent Chicago Sunday Tribune was devoted to pictures of Dud Pope demonstrating various forms and types of squash shots. The article was in conjunction with the playing of the Western Squash Racquets Ass'n's annual championship at the Lake Shore A. C. Dud had won this event in 1937 and 1938 and was seeking a third win to permanently retire the cup but a later note from Ward Hilton informs us that Dud was tripped up in the semi-finals in which round he was the only Chicagoan, the other three semi-finalists being from Detroit. Dud's contract is reputedly on a par with his squash and we also understand he's up in the top bracket with Milbank Corp. Investment Managers of Chicago.
Some bits of ski news—Hen Perkins has been honored with a membership in the National Ski Patrol, a group o£ approximately 90 organized to promote safety in skiing. Each member must pass a rigid course in first aid in the treatment of injuries from ski accidents and in addition is on call at all times to patrol ski trails and slopes Karl Williams another old outing clubber is secretary of the Rockford (111.) Ski Club For at least the third winter Prest Leavitt is giving ski lessons ' to the Portland, Me. kids on Saturday forenoons at one of the country clubs and has made such a reputation as a ski instructor that rumor has it that more than one grown-up has tried to sneak into his class. When off skis Prest is connected with the Maine Securities Cos., a prominent local investment concern, specializing in the securities of Maine companies.
Walt Holmes and an associate both formerly with Time have announced the formation of "Holmes and Stephenson" publishers representatives. Walt has been with Time for several years being listed as Merchandising Manager at the time he left to form the new company whose offices will be at 424 Madison Ave., New York City. In a recent note to Bob McMillan, Walt said he had started out with a bang and had already signed up several good clients.
Ted Caswell dropped in on Frank O'Gara while on a business trip late last fa I! and reports that Frank (who is V. P. of Davison-Paxon, the Macy store in Atlanta) has built a fine new home bordering the Capital Hills C. C.
Win Wadleigh sends along a very interesting clipping from the Manchester (N. H.) Union wherein it is announced that Jim Young has been appointed Executive Secretary of the Manchester Tax Payers Ass'n. The article goes on to inform us that after graduation from Dartmouth, Jim spent eight years with the Dennison Mfg. Cos., in Framingham, Mass., in the fields of Cost Accounting, Office Methods, Inventory Control and Market Research, followed by six years in the Personnel and Traffic Departments of the N. E. Tel. and Tel. in Boston. Simple arithmetic leaves slightly less than two years for the position in the Audit and Research Divisions of the First National Bank of Boston, which he resigned to accept the Manchester proposition. Jim's wife Marjorie Love is a graduate of the U. of Vt. and their two children Mary-Elizabeth and Gordon James are now 12 and 4 years old respectively.
Charlie Rivoire lists his activities since graduation as follows: 192? LL.B. Harvard; 1927-33 Associated with the law firm of Mitchell, Taylor, Capron and Marsh, New York City; 1933-on W. T. Grant Company; 1928 Married Dorothy Starr, Brockton, Mass.; 1933 Daughter, Susanne, born; Residence, 22 Washington Place, Glen Ridge, New Jersey.
Father Time had just closed the door on 1939 when who should walk through another door hand in hand with 1940 but Rebecca Stiles Roe, the justly proud parents, recipients of this grand new year s present, being Ed and Eloise Roe. Ed writes that all are well now although for a while there was some danger of an end to their doctor's record of never having lost a father. Congratulations to you both Ed! ! !
