The winter season waneth at the old Wigwam. The Art Exhibit is history. The cubes and squares and impressions have gone uptown to the Downtown Gallery. Once again Black Dan and Professor Haddock gaze down upon the blue plate specials from the dining room wall.
Six genuine and 194 ersatz Irishmen have gone back to their advertising agencies. The shamrocks have gone back to the mothballs. One of the greatest of all of the Club's St. Patrick's Day feiseanna is history.
Number V in the Perspectives lecture series is history. On March 4 the Webster Room was filled to its four corners when George Champion '26, President of the Chase Manhattan Bank, told not quite all about banking. Those who say that the banks need an effective spokesman need say it no longer.
March 4 - 26 anniversary of the Mahatma's Ascension, no less - also saw an informal reception for past officers and governors. Among those taking olives in their tea in the Club library: Former presidents King Woodbridge '04, Jib Dingwall '16, John Moore '23, Harry Enders '29, and Carl Ray '37; former treasurers Otto Taylor '10, George Farrand '33 and Sam Cunningham '33; former secretaries Ort Hicks 'si, Sid Flanigan '23, Herb Ball '89 and George Hubbard '32; former governors Dick Holbrook '31, Charley Coe '28, Roy Dreher '27, Bruce Jones '43, Milburn McCarty '35, Art Stout '17, Pat Gorman '38, Charley Comiskey '15 and Fred Davidson '14.
Our handsome color photograph of Hoppy now has a companion. Through the gift, once again, of Louis Fabian Bachrach, a handsome color portrait of John Sloan Dickey hangs in the lobby. Only the William Jewett Tucker men now have no Presence to jolt them back to the straight and narrow on the first floor above the ground floor.
Perspectives No. VI is scheduled for Wednesday, April 1. Orvil Dryfoos '34, President of The New York Times, will talk intimately about the ins and outs of publishing a great newspaper. In the question and answer period, he even may tell us why they persist in putting the crossword puzzle and the sports page in the same section on Saturday mornings.
The squash team (Frank Mace '45, Bud Addis '54, Albie Collins '52, Aaron Daniels '57, Dick Hulbert '51 and Mel Fenichell '43) has won the Class "B" championship of the New York Metropolitan Squash Racquets League for the second year in a row. The "C" team (Howland Sargeant '32, John Chambers '45, Ort Hicks '21, Bud Hewitt '40 and Nels Ehinger '52), last year's league champions, came down to the wire in a spread finish. When the smoke had cleared they were found in third, place. But wait until next year.
The second annual exhibition match with the Dartmouth Varsity Squash Team was disastrous, experience and superior court knowledge proving no match for youth. Nels Ehinger '52 turned in the sole Club victory. Bill Fisher '52; John van Raalte '48; Milburn McCarty '35; Frank Hartmann '43; Len Gutner '38; Bud Hewitt '40; Mai Hill '50 and Captain Howie Sargeant '32 all developed their characters.
Class dinners axe scheduled for April: April 2 — '16; April 7 — '26; April 9 - '30; April 15 - '18; April 23 — '25.
We're open daily except Sunday. Luncheon each week day. Bar opens early and closes late. Resident and non-resident memberships available at bargain rates. Always something doing, 11:00-11:00.
Alvin Krutsch '58, captain of the football team, received the annual silver tray award of the Ivy League Club of Trenton at the group's dinner in February. The tray is given annually to the captain of the team winning the Ivy League championship. Pictured at the presentation is Krutsch (center) and Richard J. S. Barlow Jr. '48, seated left.
