AWAY FROM THE TURMOIL of exciting splurges, the Chicago Dartmouths have subsided to normal habits. No more banquets, no more Glee Club until snow falls.

Yet there was food for the hungry and talent after the Wednesday lunches. On April 20th, Harry Espensheid '34 of Danville filled the program with colored movies and honeyed words about some Montana dude ranches and boys' camps. Having been jailed in Japan for suspected photographic espionage, Harry is now lecturing with movies on the Orient besides having his Montana interests.

On the afternoon of April 30 many local Indians met foreign Indians in a Winnetka wigwam where Dave Kirby '32 was roped in matrimony with Miss Adelaide Ball. Pete Knight '32 of Connecticut, Espensheid of Japan and Fritz Myers '33 of Milwaukee made the thing an international affair.

Came another Wednesday on May 4th with a prize pupil of world famous Dr. Adler of Vienna in the person of Dr. Perry Rohrer, chief of the Behavior Clinic of the Chicago Criminal Court. Not remembering any of his audience as former cases, Dr. Rohrer remarked that life was short, that we should waste none of it now, that we should exercise individual abilities and interests in the work we do and by sidestepping obstacles or handicaps too tough for head-on solution. He was lustily applauded.

I am told that there is much talk in the grog-shops about Hanover Class Reunions. This should be encouraged even if the setting be changed. Jack Robinson '33 would like a ship-load of air passengers for this pilgrimage, and one can't blame him for that.
