Wellesley

SPRING FINALLY CAME to Greater Boston and on May 27 th, Dartmouth men of Wellesley, Wellesley Hills and Wellesley Farms—and their wives—staged what undoubtedly will be an annual affair from now on. It was a carnival or picnic or get together. Call it what you will—it was a decided success and the means for raising a goodly sum for the Club's scholarship fund at Hanover. (Secretary's aside: hope this doesn't jinx the affair; truth is, this notice is being written before the party, due to the magazine's closing date!) The president of the gang, Dick Nichols '26 was muchly on the job, as was "Red" Tillson '20, chairman of the carnival committee. Dick's wife headed a committee of attractive and efficient ladies who did much to make the meeting a go. The scene of activities was the Dover, Mass. farm that Harry Linnell '31 and his brother own—and a swell place for a party, or just to live, it surely is!

Jim Gregg '14 and Fred Adams '24 held forth as masters of ceremonies, raffling off the picnic lunches; Alex Jardine '16 headed an exceedingly active committee that presented attractions eagerly sought by Grover Whalen; Ruth Tower (wife of C. Fran '28) was chief organizer of the bridge addicts; Ike Charron '04 saw to it that ping pong, soft ball and other games were available for the athletically inclined; Hans Paschen '28 and Frank Ryder '30 made quite a team in catering to the inner man and woman with cooling refreshments: A bouquet too, to Nelson Bell '29 who durned near transported his entire Wellesley music store to Dover so the gang could dance and sing to their hearts' content. And to Art Chapin '06 who saw to it, along with Dick Nichols, that everybody got to know everybody else.

Red Tillson, Cambridge banker who headed up the affair is also treasurer of the club. Undoubtedly there will be a summer lull in things Hanoverian around the Wellesleys—but plans for the fall and winter indicate this rather youthful organization will certainly be among those present.
