Carnival Notes

THE MOST GRAPHIC description of Hanover scenery the Saturday morning of Carnival week-end came from a reporter of one of our metropolitan papers. Waking up after a rather rough night and gazing out of his window, he remarked, "God's white mantle has descended upon the town."

THE DETACHED scientific mind still exists in the Dartmouth faculty as elsewhere. During the busiest period of Carnival activity, a pedantic and deliberate voice was heard over the telephone as follows: "I thought you would like to know that I have just picked up in my front walk, about twelve feet from the front door and slightly to one side of the middle of the path, a ticket marked '25 th Silver Anniversary—Dartmouth Winter Sports Carnival'—the number is 3704. No doubt the owner is expecting its return so I will send it down to you." At that time ticket distributions had passed the 16,000 mark.

OF COURSE DICK DURRANCE '3B was the individual star of the Carnival, but the most versatile performer was Ted Hunter '37. Besides winning the slalom and placing in other events, he designed the Carnival Poster and also the snappy new uniforms for the ski team.

DARTMOUTH CONTRIBUTED over $500 durthe week-end to the fund of $10,000 needed to send the Olympic ski team to Germany next winter.

ALL RECORDS FOR attendance and paid in . gate receipts were broken at this 25th Anniversary Carnival. The crowd at outdoor evening resembled a great football throng as it flowed up Rope Ferry Road and packed the amphitheater of snow and ice on Hilton Field. Moderate weather even brought out old residents who draw the line on Carnival events when it's 30 below zero! —THE EDITORS.
