THE FIRST INTERCOLLEGIATE WINTER CARNIVAL

Although Winter Carnival has become more and more the unique social event of the College, the possibilities were perhaps never realized until this year, when the introduction of intercollegiate competitions made the affair even more notable among the colleges. The number of guests ,in attendance was one proof of the popularity of the week; the presence of four moving picture men added a metropolitan touch to the Hanover woods.

The first athletic event of the week was a hockey game between Dartmouth and Bishops College of Canada, which the Green seven carried away 4-2. Immediately following, the Outing Club served a Carnival Tea in Alumni Gymnasium for the guests. In the evening, the Dartmouth Dramatic Association presented "Under Cover", a four-act melodrama by Roi Cooper Megrue, which was received by the audience with all the favor that attended the production of "The Misleading Lady" last year. The Musical Clubs concert on Saturday was the closing event of the social week.

Among the festivities carried out by the Outing Club, the Carnival Ball eclipsed its predecessors, especially in the ingenuity and uniqueness of the decorations. The athletic events were carried out without a hitch, in spite of the fact that the courses, were new and faster than any of former years. Dartmouth succeeded in winning the tenmile relay ski race from McGill university, with two minutes- and a half to spare, and the dual ski jumping meet also resulted in a victory for the home team. Paulsen of New Hampshire State was the star of the entrants from other colleges, winning a first in the intercollegiate ski race, and startling the crowd by a series of exhibition somersaults from the ski-jumps. Dartmouth landed three places in the cross-country snowshoe race, the hundred yard snowshoe race, the two-twenty yard snowshoe, and two-twenty yard ski races. Williamson of McGill won the 100-yard ski dash, and Fisher of McGill won the intercollegiate long distance ski jump.

A great deal of the success of the 1915 Carnival was due to the efforts of J. E. Johnson '66, both through his generous donations of prizes and funds for the ski-jump, toboggan slide, and kiosk, and in his unfailing interest in the Outing Club. With the promise of a merger with the Prom next year, in the shape of an enlarged Carnival week, the Winter events of the College will assume almost the foremost place among the general interests of the College.
