16TH WINTER CARNIVAL CONTINUES SUCCESSES
Dartmouth's 16th annual Winter Carnival continued the Outing Club's series of successful achievements and provided excitement as well as entertainment for the 600 or more visitors who came to Hanover for the three-day period of February 4, 5, and. 6.
As has been the custom in recent years the festivities were opened by an "Out Door Evening" on Occom pond where the skating surface and a 1,000 foot toboggan slide which ran from the top of Occom Ridge across the pond presented to the winter guests the opportunities of St. Moritz. An ice palace had also been erected on the pond and strings of colored lights surrounded the scene of the evening's activities. Skating races and exhibitions of fancy skating made up the program of events.
On the following day the first of the interclass winter sport contests were staged, the ski men of the senior class nosing out the sophomore team by a score of 21 points to 19. In the evening the Carnival Ball in Alumni Gymnasium held the attention of most of the college. It was a distinctly gay and colorful costume ball this year, with the main floor of the gymnasium transformed into a brilliant pirate cave where all the characters of history and fiction, romance, mythology and poetry—or their representations—somehow assembled to dance together. Billy Lossez's orchestra had full charge of the music. During the evening also the first per formance of "The Dancing Princess" the Carnival musical show written by J. Hill '27 and M. McClintock '26 was given in Webster Hall.
A notable collection of ski jumpers awed the multitude of onlookers assembled around the big ski jump on Saturday afternoon. This contest was the first open meet ever held at the new jump and among the contestants were included some of the foremost jumpers of the east. A new record for the jump was made by "Bing" Anderson, of the Nansen Ski Club, of Berlin, N. H., who leaped 124 feet, 12 feet beyond the previous mark. The longest standing jumps were made by Aksel Anderson, of the Nansen Club, whose records were 116 and 113 feet. C. A. Proctor '28, won second place in the tournament with jumps of 113 and 115 feet. Erling Anderson, of the Nansen club, trailed Proctor in third place. Following the three leaders were Tarald Hoidalen, of the Norsemen Ski Club, of New York, John P. Carleton, of the Dartmouth Outing Club and Gordon Brown, of Williams, Rolf Monson, former Canadian champion, and Rene Fonjallez, of Laussane, Switzerland, were other competitors.
The Carnival period was brought to an end Saturday evening by the second performance of "The Dancing Princess" and the usual fraternity house dances.
