MOVIES OF Dartmouth life were duly shown at Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Central high schools .... the movie projector broke down at Western, and Jim Pimper, Page Worthington and Wilson substituted talks for the pictures, which is a good trick if you do it The Christmas luncheon for undergraduates was held at the Annapolis, with some forty alumni and more than that number of undergraduates and prospective undergraduates. .... Talks on what is going on on the campus were given by Herschel '38, Parks '39, Shelton '40 and Flather '41. . . . . A brief but extremely effective and eloquent interpretation of Dartmouth by Blair '89 closed the event About twenty-two colored alumni and undergraduates of the college met at a luncheon given the latter at the Capitol Pleasure Club .... the affair was managed by Dr. G. W. Adams '15 Present were (partial list) Cromwell '06, Holmes '12, Adams '16, Payne brothers '28 and '29, Freeman, Pierce, Johnson and several others (this is written from memory) and sophomores Wharton and Pinderhuse and freshmen Gilliam and Phillips Guests were Kendall '99, Hill '07, Hastings '06, Freeman '13, Fitz '29, and Wilson '16. .... The local crowd is hoping and expecting that President Hopkins will be with us for a dinner this spring, when his engagements take him into Virginia. . . . . Sorry to announce that our local bowling team, which has contended in the intercollegiate league for some years, is losing a game now and then (to give them a break). Well, they can't win all the time, —or ever. Washington has settled into its heavy winter activity. Everybody in our crowd is busier than it is possible to be. The only time they relax is at our Tuesday luncheons. Latest topic of conversationwhy is it alumni clubs near the college (Boston excepted) don't get together as often or with as much enthusiasm as alumni far distant. Our bunch is pretty active and from what we hear the further west you go the livelier they become. Guess those New Englanders think of Hanover aS being in the back yard and are always expecting to get up there next week. ... Some of the boys talk of going over to Philadelphia to see the basketball game with Penn Manager Herschel of the basketball team told us Christmas that the team is pretty hot this year, except against Michigan They're playing Harvard as this is being written Beautiful cold, sunny weather in Washington ... • drop in on us on your next lobbying trip to Washington, at the Annapolis Hotel, 12:30 on Tuesdays.
