Club year off to a fast start

Starting off its new club year with a bang, Oakland Hoo-Hoo Club #39 in two recent meetings has corrected a 40-year old oversight, entertained the Snark, elected new officers and honored its past presidents.

At the directors' meeting, Len Putnam, Snark of the Universe, Klamath Falls, Ore., appealed to the club to have it re-join Hoo-Hoo International. It seems that because of some events 40 years ago the Oakland club is not directly affiliated with International. Some dissident directors noted that it was Interna- tional that had dissolved during the 1930s and that the Oakland club remained in existence throughout the Depression. Despite the dissent, however, the directors voted to recommend that the club formally rejoin.

Having just flown in from Seattle, Snark Putnam immediately headed off for Miami after the meeting to attend the annual International meeting.

The general meeting drew an impressive collection of past presi- dents to receive pins and take some bows.

Oldest living Past-President Earle Johnson, who served in 1932-33, was there.

Others included Lew Godard, l94I-42; Bill Chatham, Jr., 1944-45: Everett Lewis, 1947-48; Tom Jacobseno Sr., l94B-49; Bill McCubbin, 1954-55; Joe Pepetone, 1955-56; Jerry Mashek, l95B-59; Ralph Hill, 1959-60; Bill Johnson, 1960-61; Frank Timmers, 196l-62; Jim Hen(Please turn to page 34)
