OUTDOOR EVENING

Friday evening, the traditional parade led the crowds from the campus to the scene of the Outdoor Evening presentation, entitled "Schneeweissen" after Snow White, the beautiful heroine of Grimm's legend The plot of the celebration finally led Polly Blodgett and Roger Turner to exhibit their figure skating ability, the peak of the evening's entertainment. The set of the Outdoor Evening not only represented the hero prince's home, but symbolized a typical Bavarian scene such as has been actually witnessed by four Dartmouth skiers this Olympic season. Fireworks announced the end of the entertainment, after which the crowds swarmed back to town to witness

"Ruddigore" and take part in the 25 fraternity dances.

"Ruddigore," one of the best-liked of the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, was presented Friday and Saturday evenings to an audience clad in everything from ski suits, clumsy ski boots, and bright red parkas, to the most formal of formal attire. Needless to say, Warner Bentley's production was thoroughly enjoyed. Undoubtedly most of the success was in the accomplishment of Joe D'Esopo '29, who has lost none of his ability for clever tomfoolery since his debut in Webster Hall in 1927. The drama and singing were accompanied by the Handel Society Orchestra under the direction of Professor Longhurst.

The ski-joring contest, preceding the jumping tournament, lent its bit of excitement and color to the week-end. Russell Hurd and Robert Blades, Dartmouth seniors, took the honors from Yokichi Fujiyama and McLeod, Dartmouth sophomores who won last year's event, while Cornell's competitors were third. The winners were presented cups, and the second-placers were awarded medals by Boot and Saddle, which sponsored the races in conjunction with the D. O. C.

Cabin and Trail, the undergraduate governing body of the Outing Club, is already busy planning the twenty-seventh Annual Winter Carnival for next February. But to the rest of the undergraduates the "melody lingers on" from the gala celebration.
