MANY ALUMNI RETURN FOR WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY PARTY

From February 18 to 22 the Hanover Inn was the headquarters for a large party of Dartmouth alumni who journeyed to Hanover for the informal reunion party that has become customary over the Washington's Birthday period. The weather was ideal for winter sports, a new covering of snow being especially supplied Sunday, the 20th in order to dress the town up a bit, and ski and snow shoe parties were active and enthusiastic throughout the whole time.

Sunday evening, February 20, Mr. Fairfield's Hanover Inn set forth a special repast for the guests and following the spread an informal entertainment was staged in the lobby. The campus quartette, featuring Roger Bird '21, "the wee warbler" and captain of the swimming team, started the festivities with a program that was enthusiastically received. The musical numbers were followed by the celebrated, than whom no other, "Jim" Kimball '01, whose drolleries and Kickipoo Indian sales talk left the audience limp from laughter. "Ted" Badger then leaped into the limelight with an imitation of "Chic" Sales, the vaudeville favorite, and "Fat" Pratt recited "The Face on the Bar Room Floor" to a "Heart and Flowers" accompaniment by Professor Wellman. The festivities were concluded with more music, the Tuck School's most versatile professor leading the gathering through a program of Dartmouth songs.

A fine time was had by all. Among those present for the exercises were:

Mr. and Mrs. Willis McDuffee, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Soule, Dr. and Mrs. Frank Wheatley, Mr. and Mrs. "Bill" Adriance, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gilmore, Mr. and Mrs. 'Slip Powers, Air. and Mrs. Ben Ames Williams, Mr. and Mrs. "Jim" Kimball, Mr. and Mrs. "Ted" Badger, Mr. and Mrs. "Dick" Ward, and two little Wards, Mr. and Mrs. George Gage, Mr. and Mrs. Elon Pratt, "Sandy" Lynch, and his sister, Irving French, "Andy" McClary, and Tom Keady.
