THE MESSAGE OF THE RETIRING PRESIDENT
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
To me, the passing of the present administration is an event in the career of a life.
To the Paramount-Pep Club it is the end of another year and the beginning of a new one.
I trust, however, that the year that is ended tonight for the Paramount-Pep Club has been fruitful of the trust imposed upon myself by the members of our Club in working out many of their problems.
Whatever has been accomplished by the administration just ended is now a matter of record, but whatever degree of success the administration has enjoyed could not have been possible without the cooperation and assistance of every member of the Club.
My thanks and appreciation are extended to every member of the Board of Governors who have been patient and helpful in the many problems laid before them, and especially to Mr. Euguene J. Zukor, Chairman of the Board, to whom the entire Club as well as myself owe a great deal of gratitude for his help and counsel.
To Mr. Joseph Sweeney, Vice-President; Mr. Arthur Leonard, Treasurer; and Miss Catherine Kent, Secretary, my sincere thanks go forth. To the Chairmen and the members of the various committees who have given their time and efforts in the interest of the Club, I wish to express my appreciation.
It is sincerely hoped that the cordial cooperation received by myself as President will continue on to my successor, Mr. G. B. J. Frawley, and his administration.

I WHILE EVER THE NAME OF j PARAMOUNT ENDURES
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Just a year ago tonight we stood at our tables in this room and paid tribute to the Paramount-Pep Club. It was as though we were at a baseball game, where the prize was not a pennant that would flutter at a masthead, but instead was a symbol of prestige, of admiration and of inspiration. It was, moreover, the commencement of the seventh inning in our Club’s great game, so that it was more than significant that we should stand there as a pledge to the success of the Home team.
That inning has been played. It has been a more than successful one. Home runs were secured by the Ball, the Outing, the augmented Membership List, and by the general all-around advancement in the strength and scope of the Club’s activities. Strong and sincere approbation on the part of the Company’s officials has been forthcoming as a result of these efforts, and in a general and most satisfactory way the ParamountPep Club can be well and truly proud of its newest chapter of achievement.
From its very inception there was a steadfast belief in the hearts and minds of all concerned that the Paramount-Pep Club had been created to endure; and as year has followed year since that time, this belief has grown apace — has become more and more of an earnest conviction in the consciousness of everybody concerned with the Club. Until now, backed by the experience gained in the years of the past, and with an endless well of optimistic and progressive thoughts and plans available in the future, it seems undeniably and demonstrably positive that the Paramount-Pep Club is now destined to endure whilever the name of “Paramount” endures.
