Washington, D. C.
ON SATURDAY, MARCH 30, the finest Glee Club concert in the memory of the oldest alumnus was held before the largest turnout in local history. Over four hundred enthusiastic alumni and friends crowded the Hall of Nations at the Washington Hotel to capacity to listen to a highly varied program that delighted the audience. Following the concert, dancing was in order with music being furnished by the Barbary Coast orchestra. The only regrets that found their way into the evening's entertainment was that it ended all too soon. Too much credit cannot be given to Barry Sullivan '36 and his entire committee for the many hours of work put in to make the party a complete success.
Echoes of the evening: Charlie "Abe Lincoln" Armes '34 eased his elongated frame into the evening's fun and contributed greatly to the evacuation scene that took place in the wee, small hours Paul Woodbridge '29, recently of Buffalo or some such spot held open house in Room 409, much to the amusement (?) of the management Duke Barto '29 finally met his match on the dance floor, said terpischorean genius hailing from a local high school Winnie Hobbs '33 was on time for the first time since 1902....the work contributed by Margaret Reeves and Emily Hobbs should not be overlooked ... .in the free-for-all songfest at the close of the concert numerous would-be-tenors and has-been-baritones tried their luck, including Herb Woods '10, Stirling Wilson '16, Frank Hight '36, Jim Pimper '33, Larry Pope '18, Taylor Papson '15, and Paul Walter '25... .welcome guests from Baltimore were George Parkhurst '30 and Jim Miller '38.
The bowling team, having won the first series championship, managed to choke up and finish second in the last series, and will be forced to bowl against Princeton for the season championship. If the June issue of these notes makes no reference to bowling, you'll know what happened to Captain Jack Pyles '32 and his band of "throat artists."
The welcome mat at recent luncheons has been spread for Lloyd Wilson '31, Harry Walker '31, Bill Hoge '27, Edgar Oppenheim '39, E. D. Ruth '27, Phil Dostal '40, Dick O'Hare '36, Adrian Beck '41, Charlie Camp '41, Dick King '42, Voyle Rector '15 and Pete Hart '33 (recently returned to Washington from Vienna, as a member of the Foreign Service).
