St. Louis
THE OCCASION of greatest moment for the month was the Dartmouth Night celebration at the home of Frank Cornwell '35. Sixteen fellows turned out to renew their pledge of loyalty to the College. Official-Greetings-to-the-College-Dispatcher, Tom Curtis '32, exhibited a copy of telegram forwarded to Hanover earlier in the day. Swapping stories of Dartmouth Days was the order of the evening. The following fellows remained for the night cap toast to Eleazar: A. G. White '07, Tom Curtis '32, Pete Grace '33, Martin Kerwin '33, Clark Schmidt '33, John Thompson '33, Max Waldsmith '33, Phil Glazer '34, Frank Cornwell '35, Harry Deckert '35, Ben Gutman '37.
With spring well on its way Master of the Hunt, Pete Grace, is being prodded to name a definite date for the Bock Beer Festival which annually opens the spring and summer picnic season. At this writing a conditioning Bock Beer party is scheduled for March 12 at John Thompson's home.
Through the splendid efforts of the St. Louis Alumni Committee on Admissions, as well as the active interest of every member of the Club, twenty-three outstanding boys from topnotch high schools and prep schools of this area have applied for admission to Dartmouth next fall. The number of applicants is almost double that of any previous year. The showing of Dartmouth movies at school assemblies and talks to the graduating classes by members of the Committee are largely responsible for this excellent showing. Among those deserving especial credit are: Harry Deckert '35, Martin Kerwin '33, Tom Curtis '32, Max Waldsmith '33, Bill Rench '34, Hugh Logan '34, Clark Schmidt '33, Frank Cornwell '35.
CLUB PERSONALITIES: We have it from fairly reliable sources that Al Lathrop '29, alias Sam Lamport, sleeps with his glasses on. A good many of you have probably been wondering what becomes of the Senior Fellows after graduation. For one, Martin Kerwin '33 has gone in for figure skating. His grace and form have clinched for him the title, "Idol of the Winter Garden." Hugh Logan returned from a southern cruise displaying a marvelous coat of tan, and Frank Corn well showed a slight trace of tan around a prominent feature of his face when his boss, A. G. White '07, advertising manager of Brown Shoe Company, showed up at the recent smoker at Frank's home. If you had chanced by Max Waldsmith's rathskeller recently you would have seen the "Three Arts" in action—Max putting the finishing touches on the patio scene he has been painting on the wall, Marty Kerwin revising the third act of his literary contribution to posterity, Harry Deckert dashing off his senior law thesis and beer bottles on the floor.
It is always pleasing to hear Dartmouth men visiting St. Louis praise the hospitality of the local Dartmouth Club. You will find that the solidarity and friendly spirit of the Hanover campus prevail in the activities of the St. Louis alumni group. Itinerant Dartmouth men and their friends are always welcome at our weekly luncheons. Drop in on us any Saturday noon at the American Hotel, and from that point on we guarantee a pleasant visit in St. Louis.
