Annual Alumni Carnival—Feb. 20-21-22,1932
AN excellent program vieing in every respect with that of the Dartmouth Winter Carnival has been arranged by the Outing Club for the celebration of the annual Alumni Carnival to be held this year as in past years on Washington's Birthday week-end. The days of February 20, 21, and 22, which this year fall on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, will be filled with skiing and skating competitions, athletic events, and numerous other activities for the purpose of providing alumni with a complete Carnival program.
This is the first year that the Alumni Carnival has been planned under the auspices of the D. O. C. Previously the week-end events have been independently arranged by the Inn and the athletic council. This year's festivities, however, are being scheduled by a special committee of members of the Outing Club's Cabin and Trail, assisted by Dan Hatch '2B, comptroller. The efficiency of the D. O. C. in planning and carrying through projects of any sort assures alumni of a most enjoyable Carnival. Reservations for rooms should be sent to A. P. Fairfield, manager of the Hanover Inn. Tickets for the various events may be purchased at the Outing Club offices in Robinson Hall upon arrival in Hanover. The complete program for the holiday alumni carnival is printed below.
Alumni are expected to reach Hanover about noon on February 20 from Boston and New York. The Boston & Maine Railroad will arrange special accommodations for the trip from New York and Boston on trains reaching Hanover at 11:34 A.M. (from New York) and at 1:15 P.M. (from Boston). Information concerning special cars on these trains may be secured in Boston and New York ticket offices. The Outing Club announces a ski jumping exhibition the afternoon of February 20. Following lunch at the Inn guests will be conveyed to the ski jump in D. O. C. barges. Olympic jumpers will compete there and the annual college jumping championship will be decided at that time. The barges will return to Davis Hockey Rink in time for the Harvard-Dartmouth game at 4:30. The Inn will run a dinner dance early in the evening, to be followed by the league basketball game between Columbia and Dartmouth.
Sunday, February 21, promises to be a big day with an unusual feature being arranged by the D. O. C. committee. At 10:00 in the morning barges will carry guests to the cabins on Moose Mt. Otto Schniebs, coach of the Dartmouth winter sports team and successful teacher of skiing, will give the entire group a ski lesson free of charge. The Outing Club committee will serve a lumber camp feed at noon, to be followed by a "Ski Gymkana" in the afternoon. This formidable sounding affair should not be taken too seriously as it calls for a variety of amusing races on skis and snowshoes. The return to Hanover will be made in time for dinner at the Inn. The evening will be devoted to fraternity and senior society reunions and more informal reuning by alumni.
Monday morning is left free for guests to follow their own inclinations. Coach Schniebs will arrange to give a second lesson to those interested. It is expected that arrangements will also be made to invite alumni visitors to attend classes during the morning and to participate again in recitations and lectures with which they were familiar as undergraduates. Luncheon will be served at the Inn at noon. For former officers and Cabin and Trail members of the D. O. C. there will be a reunion lunch at the Outing Club house Monday noon. Special facilities will again be available for trains departing Monday afternoon and evening.
Skating and skiing on Occom Pond and the golf course may be enjoyed day or night during the weekend. Flood lights erected by the Occom Pond Association and the Outing Club permit the enjoyment of winter sports there during the evening.
Those expecting to come back to Hanover for the Alumni Carnival are urged to make early reservations at the Inn.
