I. O. C. A.

The 1935-36 year has undoubtedly been the most eventful in I. O. C. A. history, due especially to the ski week ends in the Adirondack, White, and Green Mountains. The last such event of the season was the gathering of Outing Club ski enthusiasts as the Dartmouth Outing Club's guests, for spring skiing on Mount Washington, April 17-20. Headquarters were established at Smith's Tavern, at Intervale, near Conway. More than fifty representatives of Vassar, Yale, Syracuse, Radcliffe, Wellesley, and Dartmouth Outing Clubs attended. Since the following Monday was Patriot's Day in Massachusetts, most of them had two complete days of skiing in Tuckerman's Ravine and on the Sherburne Trail, which connects the Pinkham Notch Huts with the Ravine. Due to storms and the effects of a previous avalanche from the Headwall, the skiing in the Ravine Saturday was difficult, but the following day offered almost ideal conditions. The Outing Club skiers in Tuckerman's were also entertained at the annual Harvard-Dartmouth slalom race on the Little Headwall. Dartmouth won the race over the angular course set by Coach Schniebs. Led by Ted Hunter '37 and Ed Meservey '3B, Dartmouth placed eight men among the first ten.

The final I. O. C. A. gathering of the term was the annual conference of selected delegates from each club at New Found Lake, thirty miles east of Hanover. Will Brown, Walter Averill, and Alfred Balboni represented Dartmouth.
