SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION

The Southern California Alumni Association of Dartmouth College held a very successful picnic May 15, which was given especially so that the wives of the alumni might know each other and all the men. A committee of wives of the alumni headed by Mrs. Karl Sleeper, and including Mrs. James J. Norton, Mrs. V. R. Salinger, and Mrs. Richard Merrill, looked after the menu. A place known as Brent's Mountain Crags, about 40 miles from Los Angeles, was the rendezvous, the trip there being made by autos. A baseball game between the shorts and the longs, a 25-yard dash for the ladies, and a "hum" and the old cheers featured the day's festivities.

Those present included Webster Evans '08, Mrs. Evans, and two sons, R. R. Gould '09, Dr. Karl Sleeper '00, Mrs. Sleeper, Miss Allen, M.rs. Werderman, C. G. Milham '06 and Mrs. Milham, J.
