SPRING BRINGS TRANSITION PERIOD TO BUSY OUTING CLUBBERS

SPRING IN HANOVER, with its baseball on the campus and senior canes, finds the Outing Club in a period of transition, looking over the last of skiing, electing new officers, leaving for cabins and trout streams.

In the last skiing events of the winter, John Mendes '43 won theSchniebs-McCrillis four-event meet, nosing out Eivind Hauge, freshman from Oslo, Norway. Dave Bayle '42 won the Class A division of The Dartmouth Fifth Annual Slalom race and Jim Thompson '42 carried off Class B Honors. In the National Four-Way Combined Championships at Sun Valley, Dartmouth alumni placed high in a field of experts, Dave Bradley '38 taking sixth, Sel Hannah '35 tenth, and Percy Rideout '40, last year's captain, sixteenth place. Captain Charlie McLane '41 placed sixth in the downhill, followed by Coach Prager. McLane ended in nineteenth place after dropping out of the langlauf.

Seniors Hal Buzzell, Irving Jackson and Dick Sawyer led the Class of 1941 to victory in an inter-class meet on Moosilauke's Snapper trail, winning the new Mt. Moosilauke cup donated by John R. McLane '07 and Mrs. Elisabeth McLane to promote skiing on "Dartmouth's own mountain." Bob Meservey '43 bowed only to Warren Chivers '39 and Pete Garrett in the Webber Cup Race on Mt. Washington. A week later, at Mt. Mansfield, he placed second to Wendel Gram in the Edson Memorial race and led in the three completed events of the One-Man Four Event meet. The skiing season closed with Dartmouth alumni and undergraduates, led by.Harry Hillman '39, defeating Harvard in the annual Harvard Dartmouth slalom on the headwall of Mt. Washington.

Bob Dewey '42 was elected chairman of a Winter Carnival Council, as yet unnamed, to succeed Mort McGinley '4l, who as Carnival Chairman and President of the Outing Club did so much this year to make Carnival a success despite the strenuous opposition of the weather man. For aid in its perennial philosophizing about the purpose of Carnival, the Council sent to campus leaders and townspeople a questionnaire. The replies showed no solidified opinion as to Carnival's»aims, size, or any of the other questions which are discussed each February, but there were many valuable individual contributions.

In the Winter Sports division, the Council appointed a group of sophomores to assistant managerial positions. Mike Frothingham and Bud Silverstein were chosen as assistant ski team managers, Bob Thede as Director of Competitions, Charlie Dittmar as assistant director of Winter Sports Competition, John Cook as assistant manager of the skating team and Dick Reid and Amasa Pratt were chosen as assistants at large.

Cabin and Trail has elected its new 1942 Council. The new chairman will be Bob White and the members will include Bud Dutton, Gutz Curtis, Fred Main, Dave Heald, Harry Bond, Don Frothingham and Jim Thompson.

Anyone who has been to the cabin at Armington Pond will be interested to know that the Outing Club has bought a tract of land along the shore, between our property and the nearby girls' camp. Except for this purchase, a new camp or cottage might have been built close enough to cramp the style of future chubbers.

Ross McKenney is looking forward to the summer, when he will again be Director of Camp Jobildunc, the Outing Club's woodcraft camp for boys. He will be assisted by Johnny Rand '§B and a group of undergraduate counselors. Ross says he is pleased with the way the camp enrollment has been coming along and he is full of new ideas for an ever better camp season.
