Connecticut

THE DARTMOUTH CLUB of Western Connecticut held its finest meeting ever just before the Yale game at the Stamford Yacht Club. It was one of the largest gatherings attending a Dartmouth meeting which any club has had in the State in recent years. Jack Keating 'go, Pres., Vic Hartjens '28, Tommie Glines '20 and Eric Malmquist '22, Vice Pres., as well as theall-time spark plug, Ev Robie '17, plus a large executive council representing all of the towns of Western Connecticut who are doing a bang-up job in keeping alive the clan enthusiasm for Dartmouth among the many widely scattered alumni living in Fairfield County, exclusive of the Bridgeport area.

Returning to the meeting, it was a smoker with a distinct football flavor due to the presence and speaking abilities of Bill McCall '32, who incidentally, predicted a Dartmouth-Yale score of 26-6, Rollie Morton '35 and Sonny Foley '32, all of whom reminisced about Dartmouth football generally. There were numerous Yale men present to add color to the room already blue with smoke and a collective audience exhausted by a showing of the turbulent 33-33 game needed a novelty dance by "Miss Dartmouth" (some of us are still in the dark as to her credentials) and a little glee clubbing by the Belvidere Singers to calm Alumni nerves.

The Waterbury Club held a meeting October 27 at which twenty were pres- ent. New officers were elected, to wit: A 1 Fusonie '2B, popular football coach at Taft School, Pres.; Joseph Talbot '22, Vice Pres., and John Monagan '33, Sec.-Treas. A 1 Fusonie put the Dartmouth football team under the microscope and explained in most interesting fashion the current Dartmouth football editions. The Waterbury Club has a noteworthy group of new officers and best wishes are extended to them. Post Yale game meetings are to be held soon at Bridgeport, Hartford and Waterbury in connection with the Cornell and Stanford games.

Dartmouth Alumni and undergraduates were very much in evidence at the University Club dance in Bridgeport following the Yale game and music was swung by that now famous organization the Barbary Coast Orchestra. A large committee of Dartmouth and University Club members aided by Mansfield D. Sprague '33, helped to make the occasion a roaring success.

Connecticut Alumni and Dartmouth College, regardless of political affiliations join with me in congratulating Joseph Talbot of Naugatuck upon his election to the important post of Treasurer of the State of Connecticut.
