1927
We hope during last month you salted away a few bucks in an old sock towards that twenty-fifth reunion next June. By this time you have no doubt heard, via the Speakeasy from Gus Cummings that our class will this year combine the Alumni Fund with the twenty-five year Memorial Fund. As you know, Gus is chairman of the Memorial Fund and will be ably assisted in the combined drive this next nine months by Spencer Cook, who did such a grand job heading up the Alumni Fund last year. Gus is shortly planning meetings in Chicago, New York and Boston" The Boston meeting will have been held, by the time you read this, on October 26, the night before the Harvard game at the Ritz.
One bit of news about our Memorial Fund Chairman which we had to get second hand due to his modesty is that on August 15, Gus' birthday, he was appointed Assistant Vice President of Koppers Company in charge of the Tar Division.
A recent issue o£ the Boston Sunrkry Herald pictorial section contained pictures of several father and son combinations who had participated in the annual father and son golf tournament late this past summer. Among them was an excellent picture of Paul O'Connell and his oldest boy who were among the competitors.
Another Boston newspaper headline announced that Skipper Bob Dalrymple had topped the Indian Class (racing sailboats to you landlubbers) and won the Scannell Trophy. Bob is one of the better known racing skippers in Massachusetts Bay.
Frank Cloran sends us a picture clipped from the New Rochelle Standard Star showing a very attractive ranch style home recently purchased by Herb Howe, who is employment security superintendent for the New York State Employment Service. Herb's new home is near Chappaqua. Frank reports that he has been working in his father's accounting business and that he recently ran into Hank Baylis in New York City.
Ken Meyercord sent us a clipping from the Times announcing the committees named by the New York City Bar Association. Among the various committee chairmen we find DudBonsai, chairman of the Foreign Law Committee, and Orie Herwitz, chairman of the joint committee to consider proposed appointments of lawyers by corporation counsel to "exempt" legal positions on his staff.
During September your scribe made a tenday trip out to Jasper National Park to attend the national convention of his company. On the way out we had a few hours in Chicago, which were very enjoyably spent chatting with Bill St. Amant in his new office as Western Manager for Field and Stream, and at lunch with barrister George Howell. On the way back we had a couple of hours late one afternoon between trains at which time we met at the Chicago University Club with Sykes Hardy, Si Morand, Hooker Horton,Clint Bradley, George Howell and Bill st.Amant. They all appear to be in fine fettle and report great enthusiasm in the Chicago area being generated for the twenty-fifth n union.
