1928
The evening after the Pennsylvania game was the occasion for the largest gathering of '28ers Philadelphia has ever seen. What a reunion the TWENTY-FIFTH is going to be ... if the Philadelphia party is an indication of the way the boys and girls feel about it.
The efforts of John Flanagan, Jack McLaughlin, George Pasfield and Ernie Wright resulted in a grand party with a turnout of 43, of whom 30 came from a distance. Ernie had used his influence to secure for our exclusive use the University Club's 17th floor, which houses the Clinker Club. (The wall decorations provided a lot of laughs, particularly the unusual frame around a picture of John L. Lewis.)
The Executive Committee met before dinner with the following present: President Rupe Thompson, Treasurer John Phillips, upset because some of you had not mailed your dues, Bill Morton, George Pasfield and your Secretary.
By popular request, the vaudeville team of Pollock & McLaughlin repeated their song-and-dance act that was so popular at Hanover last June.
Beef Vernon proved himself to be an accomplished and entertaining after-dinner speaker, in spite of a lot of good-natured heckling. George Pasfield, Memorial Fund Chairman, told about the plans for raising the Fund which the Class will present to the College at our Twenty-Fifth Reunion. A number of those present spoke on Dartmouth's problems, particularly the admissions problem.
Rupe Thompson announced that the Executive Committee had unanimously elected Helen and Jim Campion as co-chairmen of our TWENTY-FIFTH. Helen and Jim were there from Hanover and everyone agreed that with them in charge our next reunion will eclipse anything we've ever seen.

Warren Burding has been appointed President of the John F. Jelke Co. of Chicago, manufacturer of margarine and related foods, it was announced September 30 by Charles Luckman, President of Lever Brothers Co. The Jelke Co. is a Lever subsidiary. Warren went with the Fleischmann Yeast Co. in Philadelphia as a trainee in 1928 and became assistant sales production manager within a year. In 1929 he was transferred to Boston and in 1932 returned to Philadelphia as Assistant Division Manager of Standard Brands. He was promoted in 1941 to Assistant Sales Manager with headquarters in New York. In 1942 he was named Manager of the Grocery Division and in 1944 Vice President of Standard Brands.
In the newspapers today (October 5) is a big story about Lever Brothers' 21-story headquarters building which will be built in New York on Park Avenue between 53rd and 54th streets. It says that all executive and general offices will be moved to New York, including those of all its subsidiaries. So it looks as if Warren will see other '28ers in the building inasmuch as Harry Gere, Stuie Marshall and Henry Pierce work in the Cambridge, Mass., office which is to tie shifted to New York.
