262 The Notre Dame Alumnus June, 1937 Dame tradition, to Miss Evarista Brady, a graduate of St. Mary's. For the past 12 years, Mr. and Sirs. Cotter have lived in New Rochelle. They have a family of three children, Evarista, who attended Rosemont College, Pennsylvania, Mary, a student at the Ursuline Academy in New Rochelle, and Bill, Jr., who, after graduation this month from lona School, will enter Notre Dame in the Fall as a Freshman. The versatilitj- of the new President's campus background has been reflected in his career as a Catholic citizen of New York. Together with Father John Talbot Smith, he was a founder and later president of the Catholic Actors Guild, and is attorney for that group. Philanthropically, he is president of the Broad St. Hospital in New York City, and treasurer of the American Memorial Association for Devastated France. He was a former treasurer of the professional International Acetylene Association. His clubs are the Westchester Country, the Union League and the University. From all of which data, the ALUM NUS draws the happy conclusion that the affairs of the Association and the fine work of Art Hughes in 1936-37, are in the best possible guiding hands for 1937-38. Law took the laurels in the 1937 election. First Vice - President is Harrj' Kelly, '17. Harrj' won his spurs in Ottawa, Illinois, where he rose to the state's attorneyship of La Salle County. From there he moved to the district attorney's office in Detroit and immediately won a reputation in the Michigan metropolis which has entrenched him in the Detroit bar. With • the double background of Notre Dame centers. La Salle County and the very active Detroit area, Hari-y can contribute greatly to the alumni progi-am development. Second Vice - President is Charles A. Mooney, '26. Chuck took law after leaving Notre Dame, but entered the insurance firm with his father, the late Congressman Charles A. Mooney. Chuck was a candidate for Congress himself, being defeated by a more experienced campaigner, but winning great commendation from the Cleveland press and citizenry. Chuck was also a student manager of athletics. That, together v/ith his presidency of both the campus and alumni Cleveland Clubs, gives Mm a most valuable background for the new regime. Director for the 4-year term, succeeding the veteran and able Fred L. Steers, is another Chicago attorney, Francis H. McKeever, '03. Anyone who followed Frank McKeever's early career in the Notre Dame Club of Chicago, and who last year was aware of the leadership he exerted in putting across the Notre Dame faculty series in Chicago, can feel that the responsibilities of the directorate have been placed in both able and willing hands. Frank is familiar with Notre Dame over a long period of Converse Studio Phalo PRESIDENT WILLIAM E, COTTER years, and aware of changes both in the University and in the Association during those years, which will be invaluable to the Board. Add to these men the fact that Art Hughes remains on the Board in 1937-38 ex officio, and that the Class of 1937 will elect a Director for 1937-38 with the new viewpoint of the latest Class to be graduated, and it looks like another banner year for the Association.

ARIZONA Vincent Heniresbach. e.t.'27. 1710 E. 2nd St., Tucson, President; Ted A. Witz. c--c."29. Box 628, Tucson, Secretary. ARKANSAS Burt L. Roberts, 1325 Lincoln Ave., Little Rock, Ark., Secretary. BENGAL EL Rev. Timothy Crowley, aS.C., "02, Dacca, Bcnsal, India, President; Rev. J. J. Hennessey, C.S.C.. '02, Dacca. Bensal, India, Secretary. Bishop Crowley recently received some splendid publicity in Chicago, when the mission society organized there under his name for the aid of the Bengalese staged its annual benefit party. The Holy Cross missions in Bengal are one of the outstanding works of the Congregation, but distance frequently obscures their merits, and it was a pleasure to see Bishop Crowley and his work receive this deserved tribute and practical aid. BERRIEN COUNTY (Michigan) Eugene O'TooIe, '20, 321-325 State St., St. Joseph, President; Frank A. Deitle, '26. 1884 S. Colfax, Benton Harbor, Secretary. BOSTON Fred C. Solari, '35, Center SL, Pembroke, Mass., President: John J. Hanley, '34, 409 Salem St., Medford, Mass.. Secretary; Paul McAIanus, '34, Fox & Hounds Club, Boston, Mass., Secretary. On May 20 almost a hundred Notre Damers, almost Notre Damers, and would - like - to - have - been Notre Damers, whooped and hollered and tore broiled chiken from limb to limb in the grandest ReWval Meeting Boston has seen since Gypsy Smith packed the Garden. (And if I'm not mistaken, he had to give away a couple of refrigerators to bring them in.) If there had been any doubt before about the spirit of the Notre Dame men in the Codfish Commonwealth, there can certainly be none now. From all over the State within a radius of 150 miles, they came, and the spirit was nothing short of invigorating. The dinner was presided over by Fred Solari who introduced the speakers. Bill Cunningham and Eddie Anderson, coach of Holy Cross. Grace was said by Father McGinn, CS.C. Movies of the Pitt game of '35 and the renowned Ohio State game of '35 were shown, and a running comment was competently handled by Fred who had played in the games. After the dinner a collection was taken up for the fund for Johnny O'Brien's children and the check forwarded to Elmer Layden. The meeting was officially a Boston Club get-together, but we were favored with the presence of Joe Mc- Kean, '32, and his brother, representing that tired section of the country, the South, and Tony Anzlovar, '34, from Cleveland. All three. I believe, are courting culture at Harvard. Paul Broderick, head of the Paramount Picture booking department in Boston, brought in a group from his office. He has generously offered to provide football movies for us any time we want them, which promises well for future meetings. Les Freres McManmon were there, with a combined displacement more awesome than ever. John is head of the Highway Beautification Department of the State of Massachusetts, and Art is, I believe, head of the Donnelly Advertising Company in Worcester.
June, 1937 The Notre Dame Alumnus 263 Others were: Bill Ellis, '36, doing art work for an advertising company. Buck Hanley, '34, told me what he was doing, but memory fails. However, I remember noting at the time that it was a goodly. Christian work. Eddie Collins, '03, is clerk of the Supreme Court, and he and Joe Gargan, '17, who is one of Boston's foremost lawyers, constitute as enthusiastic a pair of Notre Dame men as I've ever met. Glynn Eraser, '34, left right after the banquet for Maine, where he is in charge of some Federal Youth project at Quoddy Village. Jack Saunders, '31, is operating one of those super-markets up in his home town of Lowell. Joe Gartland, '27, is with the Hornblower & Weeks, stock brokers. Harold Noonan, '34, is in the insurance business — Lumberman's Mutual. I was talking with Al Phaneuf, '34, for a few minutes. It was the first time I'd seen liim since a few days before Christmas, when he seemed to have the power of life and death over about 40 salesgirls in Jordan Marsh's department store. John Sullivan, '33, came down from Holyoke. He told me then of the illness of Gerry Teevens, and the other day the item appeared in the Boston Post. I didn't know Gerrj- awfully well, but in June of 1932 I was one of a group of three or four who drove home from school with liim in his car. It was the most memorable trip of my life, and enough excitement took place during it to convince anyone that Gerry Teevens was a remarkably fine, clear thinking fellow, absolutely fearless of anybody or anything, and endowed with more courage than almost anybody I ever knew. A few days after our banquet, John Shea, '08, co-composer of the "Victoiy March," dropped into the Fox and Hounds to express his regret at having missed the re-union. The spirit was willing, he told me, but the Nash was weak, and it succumbed en route. Father Donovan, at St. Philip's Church, also called me up to lament that he had been away that night. The final event of the season will be a dance conducted by the campus Boston Club at the Fox and Hounds, on Saturday night, June 19. It will take place in the Blue Room. I have aiTanged things so that, aside from the club's minimum charge of $1.00 per person, the only fee will be a twenty-five cent tax which will go to the campus club's treasury. Although this document has assumed an awkward length, it wouldn't be quite fair to close it without making some special acknowledgment of the efforts of the three men to whom credit for the success of our re-union must go: Fred Solari, Joe Gargan and Glynn Eraser.

We closed another successful Clubyear, May 10, at the annual meeting in Fischer-Rohr restaurant. Because precedent dictates a change in the role of officers each year, we sent last year's group back to their more lucrative jobs with our congratulations and thanks. Said Erie RRy's la^vyer, Pat Canny, who as president proved himself well worthy of his unanimous choice last year: "My Boss wants me to go to work for the Erie again." We can understand that, for Pat ser\'ed unstintingly and with little buck passing to the vicepresident, for Paul Castner fled Cleveland on a business pursuit last Autumn. Secretary Larry Krai's record of last year's events was a success story illustrated by Treasurer AI Grisanti's financial report. -Another staff was elected. George Kerver is now president; John J. Col lins, vice-president; George P. O'Day, treasurer; and your present raconteur, Cornelius J. RuEBng, secretary. With precedent rich in accomplishment to rival, well await another year for comment on the choice. Because now and then we meet someone who manifests the Notre Dame spirit in a manner to be envied by most of us, and because so often those loyal supporters of Notre Dame never walked the campus as students and consequently are not eligible for regular membership in the club, we here in Cleveland provided in our charter for the extension of honorary membership in the club. If George J. Leroux, Clayt's Dad, is proud of his honorary membership in the Notre Dame Club of Cleveland, his pride fals short of ours in having him in our group. Long time friend of the club, always keenly interested in N.D. men and their affairs, Mr. Leroux is well deserving of this small gesture on our part. To Mr. Leroux we presented a formal certificate of membership. As Krai wrote. Gene MilliCF is married; to Miss Magadeline Baeder in -'Vpril. Cy Matthews was best man. Incidentally Cy's editor of the plant paper at National Malleable, where he's also in charge of the dispensary. Clayt Leroux, practising for his own marriage to Miss Margaret Powers on June 19, served the MiUilFs as usher. Father Murphy Of St. Mary's parish, Sandusky, who officiated, had married at least one other N.D. man; Father Murphy married the late beloved Knute and Mrs. Rockne back in Knute's Cedar Point days. Don's be surprised if Jim Driscoll drops around some day with a convincing story about your need for more life insurance. You're safe on week-ends, however; Jim has another life problem in Delphos each Sunday. Central National Bank not only employs Ed Gough and Ralph Huller but there also are Phil Geoghegan, Cecil Hobert and Ed Hogan. Also in financial fields are security men Joe Butler, Phil Prendergast, Howy Richards, Ed Blatt and John Venables. While we're at this Classified Listing, there's dental surgeon Cy Caldwell, who, too, is marrjing this month. And soon completing his internship at St. John's Hospital are Drs. Mike Crawford and Dolly Cannon. Down at the court house almost daily are lawyers Marty Rin!, Don Miller, Pierce O'Connor, John Gleason, Joe Sweeney . . . and the many, many more. If Judge Dan Duffy is the Autumn candidate for mayor, as rumor and the betting odds suggest, John Butler, active assistant county prosecutor, will likely raise his voice for Dan. And on the municipal judiciary slate will be Judge Frank Celebreeze. One wonders what prominent public men Jack Flynn and Ray Miller will
