With the Outing Club

DARTMOUTH'S 28th annual Winter Carnival, the first snowless Winter Carnival ever recorded in Hanover, finished in a blaze of glory when it became known that the ski team had won the Carnival title with the perfect score of 500 at the same time the basketball team was trimming Princeton and the hockey team was upsetting Harvard.

Overcoming the handicap of no snow by importing it in trucks, the Dartmouth Outing Club carried on the tradition of over a quarter of a century, and all the skiing and skating events were run off as scheduled. Only the changing of the slalom from Oak Hill to Moose Mountain, where the downhill race was run off on Friday, altered the week-end's original plans.

Led by Captain Dave Bradley, the ski team was easily the standout group of the week-end as it made a perfect score as a team and garnered most of the firsts, seconds, and thirds of the competition to make a clean sweep.

Upsetting advance predictions, Peggy Johannsen, representing McGill University and DICE, raced to an easy victory in the annual Girls' Slalom race at the steep slope facing Oak Hill. Her winning performance coupled with the third place effort of Frances McLeod earned for DKE the James Campion Jr. trophy for the house that had the best total time. Winner of last year's event, Elizabeth Durrance fell near the end of the course and had to be content with a tie for sixth place with Clare Butterworth of Vassar in the rather mediocre time of 32 2-5 seconds. Blanche McLane, a premeet favorite, lived up to expectations, by finishing second in the field of 17 in the time of 27 2-5 seconds. The Other DKE entrant, Frances McLeod, earned a place by finishing third in 28 4-5.

The tint's recorded this year were of an unusually high standard, and evidenced the fact that much interest has been taken in this event as compared with the rather poor showing of the contestants in last Carnival's inaugural.

A new Queen of the Snows, Katherine Avilla Brooks, a Carnival Queen from Tulsa, Oklahoma, who was born in Connecticut, was crowned at the most successful Outdoor Evening presented by the Outing Club in recent years. Featuring a galaxy of skating stars, skiers, and Jack Durrance's tiny tots whose antics were announced by Dick Shaw of the Players, the festivity was a success despite the lack of snow. A wide swath covered that part of the Golf Course slope necessary for the entertainment and it was found sufficient except when the double skis of Steve Bradley and Bud Little refused to coordinate and carried the two off into the rough.

Delta Tau Delta's Tommy Brooks again displayed his artistic ability as his model of Eleazar Ski Joring won the prize for the most outstanding sculpture done in snow and ice. Topliff Hall took the coveted prize for the winning dormitory with an Indian in base relief done on ice. Despite the lack of snow for sculpturing, the houses and dormitories were all represented, resorting like the D. O. C. to imported materials.
