1920
Another blow has been dea't 1920. Frank Dorney died suddenly March 31. I have taken the liberty of quoting Bill Cunningham's Boston Herald column, as his tribute is far better than any I could hope to compose. It states:
"Dartmouth, the community and the Production Front lost a quiet, but powerful wheel horse Thursday night when Frank Dornev, Manager of the Boston Works Plant of the Walworth Company, was stricken after finishing his day's work at the plant and was dead within a couple of hours.

His family and his firm have the sympathy of all who knew him. A veteran of the last war, he truly gave his life in this one. Walworth is in war work. Fighting front production was Frank's concern. In this game, as in the other, he gave it all he had. Many fields, many crowns, Frank "
Rog Pope is Al Frey's worthy successor as class agent. Rog states this is a new type of work for him and he will need the utmost in cooperation to make a worthy showing.

In chiding Rog on the fact that one Chi Phi follows another, he comes back with,"As to whether one Chi Phi should succeed another is relatively unimportant in this job when you stop to think of what Johnny Sullivan and Frey will probably cook up for us in the Treasury Department."
