Westchester

ON THURSDAY NIGHT, APRIL 4, THOSE Westchester Dartmouths fairly surged into the ball room of the Roger Smith in White Plains, to eat and applaud our best-attended annual dinner in many moons.

President "Irish" Flanigan shared the head table with the former moguls of our outfit—Art Tozzer '02, Clarence Meleney '13, Jim Landauer '23, Warren Agry '11, Dean Neidlinger, and Walter Beach Humphrey '14. The evening was a smashing success—and a world of credit is due Bob Newfang, general chairman, and Dick Kershaw, dinner and publicity chairman, for their untiring (and toward the end, tired) work in connection with this fracas. May we state, unqualifiedly, that these two gentlemen, aided and even abetted by Sid Flanigan and Anson McLoud, made it their task to see to it that the rest of us did ours. Attendance records attest to their success.

Dean Neidlinger's talk on why men go to college, what college has to offer them, and what they expect of it, was truly thought provoking, and could have been heard to advantage by even more Dartmouth fathers than were present.

Walt Humphrey '14, our candidate for election to the Alumni Council, who has done more painting than dining in Thayer Hall, gave a short talk.

There were times during the evening when we thought and felt that the 1940 spring recess was ours. You know why? Well, now, because Bill Storck and his eight little storcklings fairly rendered us with their rendings. We mean it! The Dartmouth Alumni Glee Club not only entertained us, goodness gracious, they fairly wowed us!

Before hibernating for the summer, your committee plans a picnic or some other al fresco get-together somewhere in the Westchester hills.
