"Well, Parson, it's up to you." So from here on out now it's up to you.
Thank you. (Applause.)
MR. CHASE: Now I think we ought to have just a brief word from Gilbert
Becker, our new vice-president. Mr. Becker.
MR. BECKER: This was really a great surprise to me. It is humbly I tell you this, because I was on the Nominating Committee myself, and that is a very embarrassing position to be in, to find that I, as a member of Nominating Committee, appear as an officer. But it was a pleasant surprise, and in doing vice-president work I shall try my best, and I shall surely spend much time and much thought to it. Thank you. (Applause.)
MR. CHASE: Now, Bill Clark, will you come up here for a few words? Bill will succeed Carl Prell as Treasurer and handle your finances during the coming year.
MR. CLARK: Friends, I thank you for this honor and that you should have enough confidence in me to trust me with your funds for the coming year. I will do the best I can, and thank you very much.
MR. CHASE: There will be a joint meeting of the new officers and old officers immediately after we adjourn.
George Salzer says the last time we met in Rochester was 1922, and we figure the next time we will be here is 1984.
(Whereupon, the meeting was adjourned.)
