P E P-O-G RAMS Page Five “CLUB’S PLANS, PLUS YOUR GENEROUS SUPPORT, SHOULD GIVE US OUR GREATEST YEAR.” So believes VINCENT TROTTA, President of Paramount Pep Club in following statement. “We are happily faced with the honor task of matching the greatest year in the history of our Organization with the greatest year in the history of our Organization’s Club— the Paramount-Pep Club. Both are tremendously big tasks; but both have this in common — they are being undertaken by Paranrounteers, by boys and girls, men and women, who know what it means to pledge to do something, and to then go out and accomplish it. “With the Inaugural Dinner and Dance a thing of the past, we still have with us the grand memories of the fact that this stirring event proved more concluI sively than a hundred thousand words could do, that the Paramount-Pep Club is one vast family, with every Club member also a* member of the family. That means, above all else, that when the Club henceforth sets out to acj complish anything, it will have the undivided support of its members. “And there are many things that will have to be accomplished, but paramount among them is the matter of providing a solid and dependable source of the revenue necessary to keep the blood of life flowing through the Club’s veins. The Executives and the Board of Governors have their plans in this connection for the coming year, but these plans can only become efficacious when consolidated with the plans of the Club members in general. So before definite announcements concerning the Club’s revenue are made, every Club member should bend every energy towards the devising of additional methods whereby that revenue might be augmented. “Our various Committees are announced in this issue of Pep-O-Grams, and I am sure you will concur in my belief that we have a peppy bunch of workers who will do their appointed shares in the making of this year the Club's greatest. These Committees are already functioning, and are promising great treats for the members. I feel safe in speaking for the entire Club and expressing our boundless faith in the success they will accomplish, and also in thanking them for having undertaken the respective duties entrusted to them. “Finally, the Club is the property of its Members, as well as being the expression of all that they desire it to be. In other words, the Club can be no greater and no more useful than its Members wish and cause it to be. The Officers and Members of the Board of Governors stand pledged to do their share — are YOU , as a member, too, ready and pledged to do your share? “If you are — then we know that we are all set for the Club’s greatest year. I thank you !” CO-WORKERS PLEASANTLY REMIND JOE McLOUGHLIN OF BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY Wednesday, November 2nd last saw a mighty peppy gathering of more than a score Paramounteers gathered at the Blue Ribbon cafe to not ungently kid Joseph P. McLoughlin about the single candle which ornamented the cake at the head of a festive board. It was Joe’s birthday anniversary, and if you want to know how old (or more truly, young) the Office Manager of the Paramount portion of the famous building at the Crossroads of the World is, you can use his own declaration to find out, for he said, in the course of a deeply sincere and well worded reply, that he was born on the day that President Garfield was elected. But before Joe had had the opportunity of replying, Toastmaster Harry Nadel — and a mighty fine manipulator of the toasts, too ■—had called upon numerous of the guests to say a few words. Dan Hynes, who has known Joe for more than a quarter of a century, spoke feelingly of the qualities which have stamped Joe McLoughlin as a one hundred percent man. Bob Powers, Jack Roper, A1 Adams, Joe Walsh and Palmer Hall Stilson also spoke; Dick Blumenthal conveyed to Joe the congratulations of the entire Foreign Legion, and Vincent Trotta, as President of the Paramount Pep Club, spoke of Joe McLoughlin’s qualities as a leader of the Club and as a very vital force in the personnel of the organization. A real happy and sincere affair — a good time by all, and a glowing sentiment to carry back to the desks and the offices and the tasks that make the world go round. STOP PRESS. Entertainment Committee Chairman L. S. Diamond has issued a snappy notice about the Paramount Pep Glee Club. Read it!
