Chicago
COMMENCING WITH the class entering college in September, 1942, and in alternate years thereafter, The Dartmouth Alumni Association of Chicago will award a four-year regional scholarship to a boy possessing the requisite qualifications from the Chicago area. This is the most note- worthy news item we have to offer as the fall season gets under way and we are certain it will be received with great interest by all alumni residing in this vicinity. It means that after the program becomes effective our Association will at all times be giving scholarship aid to two boys from this region for their entire four-year course on the same basis and in the same amount now being awarded to one boy.
The scholarship committee, composed of Ed Keeler '11, Cliff Fitzgerald '25, and Lefty Farrar '19, has been devoting much time and effort to the consideration of this proposal for several months. A report recommending its adoption was submitted to the executive committee at a recent meeting and was unanimously approved. Thus another step has befen taken toward our ultimate goal of sending several worthy boys each year to Dartmouth from Chicago and its environs who otherwise would be unable to attend.
Approximately 50 members of the Association and their guests turned out for the annual golf outing on July 29 at Bob O'Link Country Club. The day was one of the hottest of the year with the temperature around 100° in the shade. Hunter Hicks '33 came away with low gross honors. The Tobey brothers, Newt '25 and Bob '27, tied for the blind bogey dividing the proceeds. Competition for the Jess Hawley trophy, awarded annually to the winner of low net, was unusually keen. When final results were tabulated it was discovered that the donor himself had won his own trophy. Jess was so elated that he promptly had his prize filled to the brim with refreshments for the benefit of all participants. After that no one bothered much about the heat.
Louis Leverone '04 was host to well over 100 alumni at the annual picnic held on August 26 at his farm west of Highland Park. An afternoon of beer and baseball topped off with a delicious barbecued steak always draws a crowd and we are again grateful to Louie in making this event possible.
President Bill Juergens '23 outlined plans for the coming months at the last meeting of the executive committee and a busy season is anticipated. The annual undergraduate luncheon devoted primarily to giving the class of 1945 a send-off was held on September 10. Forty-seven boys are entering Dartmouth from the Chicago region this fall. Special luncheon meetings are also scheduled for October and November. Plans for "listening in" on the football games axe still under consider- ation and a further announcement in this regard will be forthcoming in the future. We again urge alumni who have recently moved into this vicinity to communicate with the secretary so that their names may be added to our mailing list.
