WINTER CARNIVAL

The eighth annual Winter Carnival, conducted by the Outing Club February 13-15, was a distinct success from every point of view. Favorable weather, an unusually large crowd of guests, and an attractive indoor program combined to make the occasion a fitting celebration of Dartmouth's return to peace time conditions. Although lack of snow slowed up the outdoor events to some extent, no part of the program had to be cancelled, and the wealth of indoor entertainment more than made up for the few minor difficulties.

Following the Outing Club supper dance, which officially ushered in the festivities on Thursday night, the Dramatic Association presented "Nothing But the Truth" in Webster Hall. The well-rounded cast gave a very satisfactory performance throughout, with J. M. Fleming '21 and R. P. Bird '21 featuring the leading masculine roles. After the play, interfraternity dances were held in the Little Theatre, the Trophy Room of Alumni Gymnasium, and the Commons dining room.

Preliminary ski and snowshoe events were held on the golf links Friday afternoon, while the finals took place the following day. Although entries were expected from a number of eastern colleges, practically all withdrew at the last minute, and a team from McGill University in the end offered the only competition for Dartmouth.

The Carnival Ball Friday night filled its regular place on the program as the leading social function of the celebration. Decorations furnished by the Indoor Committee under the chairmanship of N. B. Richardson '20, consisted of spruce trees encircling the floor, streamers of laurel suspended from the ceiling, and two gigantic snow-men, stationed as guardians of the entrance. Music was provided by a 10-piece jazz orchestra, led by V. A. Breglio '20.

The indoor events of Saturday night brought the 1919 Winter Carnival to its official close. A hard-fought basketball contest between fives representing the freshman and sophomore classes resulted in a 21-20 victory for the second-year men. After the game the combined musical clubs gave a concert in Webster Hall, with special feature numbers furnished by R. P. Bird '21, W. Janssen '21, and J. W. Thornton '22. A display of fireworks on the campus wound up the celebration in a blaze of glory.
