1931

That was quite a gathering of the '31 clan for the Dartmouth Party and Glee Club Concert in New York: the Charlie McAllisters, the Dutch Hollands, the Sher Guernseys, down from Schoharie, Dick Holbrook and CharlieSchneider. Sher and Peg Guernsey stayed over the weekend, and we did a bit of the town.

Happened to run into Victor Erskine Rockhill (Rocky to everybody outside those uppercrust banking circles) on Fifth Avenue. He was on his way to host 16 visiting firemen, but stopped long enough to tell me he ran into Parker Soule at Princeton and to report that Keith Shearman has changed to Lehman Bros, and that Hank Boardman, an Irving Trustworthy, has been taking a look at Finland and Sweden.

Word from Buffalo says that Johnny Cogswell, Division Manager of the N. Y. Tele- phone Co., turned in a spectacular job as Vice-Chairman of the Red Cross Drive, Chairman of one of the big divisions in the Community Chest Campaign and General Chairman of the YMCA Membership Drive. It must be a little tough to find time for your regular job, Johnny, but apparently you're not letting that slip either, because the same clipping refers to you as one of the "leaders in Buffalo's business and industry."

Jack Warwick has been named Chairman of the National Campaign for the United Negro College Fund. A couple of our legal eagles are flying high, apparently, because we hear that Johnny Martin, State Auditor General of Michigan, is under constant demand as an after-dinner speaker; and George Stevens has been chosen to become Dean of the Buffalo (N. Y.) University Law School. That's real good going, George, especially when we know that you were selected from a strong list of top-bracket men. We read in the Rochester (N. Y.) Times Union that Bill Gorsline has just organized a new real estate partnership "to provide complete service in residential, commercial and industrial sales, leases, appraisals and management." The everbusy grapevine says that Orodon Hobbs is having himself a fling at the School Committeeship in Lynnfield, Mass.

All we know about this next item is that we got one of those little white cards from the Alumni Secretary's office announcing that Ernie Moore was in Hanover early in March. The weather outside my window is good, and I get the urge to do the same thing. Maybe a lot of you are mulling over this same plan, so how about using me as a clearing-house to find out when some of your classmates are going to be up in the hills? Maybe we can arrange one of those extra-curricular reunions. That's all for now. See you next month, and hope to hear from you before then.
