Alumni Carnival
March 1935

Nearly a hundred alumni returned to Hanover over the week-end of February si-24 for the annual Alumni Winter Carnival. The four-day program, under the auspices of the Hanover Inn, was the most ambitious ever arranged for the graduate frolic.

Activities were evenly divided between Hanover and the alumni skiing headquarters at Mt. Moosilauke. Busses left the Inn on Friday and Saturday mornings, taking alumni parties to Moosilauke for winter sports, and returned to Hanover in the late afternoon. Skiing contests for all ages were held at the Dartmouth Mountain, and lunch was served at the Ravine Camp both days by Peggy and Ford Sayre '33.

The Players and Handel Society re- peated their Carnival production of Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance on Friday evening of the week-end; exhibition ski jumping was held Saturday afternoon; Lawrence Goldthwait '36, New Eng land speed-skating champion, and George Wallace '38, California title holder, dis played their prowess on ice; various freshman and varsity athletic contests were played; and a community dance in the Little Theatre on Saturday evening rounded out the program.

The entire Alumni Carnival program centered around the Hanover Inn, and an informal tea for alumni and faculty was held there Friday afternoon. The annual Children's Carnival was also held in conjunction with the alumni festival, and a lecture on the Orozco murals was presented by R. G. Brierley '36, who took hundreds of tourists through the Baker Library this past summer.

President Hopkins Just returned from European trip when he and Mrs. Hopkins visited their daughter, Ann, studying in Rome, and Edward Tuck '62 at Monte Carlo.
