SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION
Forty-five Dartmouth men got together from all parts of Southern California for the annual dinner meeting of the Southern California Alumni Association of Dartmouth College on Saturday evening, March 10. The dinner was held at the University Club in Los Angeles, the retiring president of the association, James J. Norton, acting as toastmaster.
Brief talks were made by Homer Eaton Keyes '00, who was a Southern California visitor at the time from Boston; Edward B. Martin '09, a visitor from Chicago; and Rev. R. B. Wright '74, of Boise, Idaho, who was the guest of his classmate, Dr. H.G. Brainerd. The Association's activities of the year were reviewed by President Norton 'OB, and C. G. Milham '06, secretary-treasurer.
The attendance of forty-five set a new record for gatherings of Dartmouth men in Southern California. The former record, made several years ago, was forty-three. Warren ("Chick") Currier '08 helped to make the new record by traveling two hundred miles from Brawley in the Imperial Valley to attend the dinner; Eugene Stark '09 traveled seventy-five miles from Hemet to help also in the new record; and others present were from Pasadena, South Pasadena, Glendale, Santa Ana, Hollywood, and Los Angeles.
