The renowned Paramount Spirit, mainstay of all that we undertake whether in the interests of our Company or our Club, swept us along to victory in the enterprise known as the Paramount Movie Ball, which was held at the Hotel Astor, on March 23rd last.
The Balt was being held for a very vital reason ; the very life and existence of the Club were at stake. With the Ball other than a success it virtually seemed that the Club could no longer go ahead ; and, not going ahead, it must of needs have perished.
But the Ball was a success ! The sturdy-spirited among the Club’s members, with the fullest sense of responsibility, rose up as leaders and carried us so far “over the top” that the entire Club can genuinely experience the thrills of calling the Ball a financial and moral success : financial because it guarantees the continuance of the Club, moral because it revealed the true spirit which actuates the Club’s members.
There is not the space here for detailing the names of all of those who valiantly gave of their best energy and initiative in the cause of the Ball. But I think that all members will agree with me that meritorious mention should be made of Sara Lyons, Theodore C. Young and Eddie Brown for their cash returns for tickets and boxes; Lou Diamond for his attention to a million details as chairman of the entertainment committee; Joe Wood for his work as Vice Chairman of his committee ; and Harold Flavin, as editor, and Dave Cassidy, as advertising manager of the Ball souvenir program.
To these Pepsters, and to the hundreds of others who so splendidly did the work asked of them — and who graced the Ball with their happy presence — the Officers and Board of Governors of the Paramount-Pep Club are deeplv grateful.
LOU DIAMOND — A BIG FACTOR IN THE SUCCESS OF THE BALL
The best of diamonds have sixty-four faces: and Lou Diamond was expected to have that many in order to be everywhere, and do all the things expected of him, during the lapse of time from the first proposal of the Ball until the time Vincent Lopez told the saxophone player to quit. As Chairman of the Entertainment Committee Lou did yeoman service; and in reckoning the success of the Ball we most naturally have to include Lou Diamond’s name in the vanguard of those Pepsters who worked for that success with all their heart.
