With the Outing Club
1942 Winter Carnival Dropped in Speed-Up of Calendar, But Intercollegiate Ski Meet Retained for February 6-7
OF THE WINTER CARNIVAL organization carefully and completely built up during the past month, only the committee on competitions, it now develops, will have a real job to do. Carnival has been cancelled in the wartime speed-up of the college year, but present plans call for carrying through with the intercollegiate ski meet on February 6 and 7.
Robert B. Dewey '42, of Detroit, Mich., is head of the Winter Carnival Council this year, and Harold L. Bond '42 of Newtonville, Mass., and David Heald '42 of Nashua, N. H., are co-directors of competitions. There will probably be a reshuffling of assignments to meet the new situation. The DOC is only too glad to make changes that will contribute to the College's war effort, but at this writing, only a day after the announcement of the accelerated calendar, there naturally is confusion as to what the war version of Carnival week-end will be.
As a result of the sudden war developments, the Outing Club finds itself in the ironic position of having the best Carnival posters in years and no Carnival. This year's winning poster (shown on thispage) was submitted by Dominic Lupo of New York City, who, appropriately enough, finished it just before he was inducted into the Army. Lupo submitted a successful poster in 1959 and is the first double winner in Carnival history.
The other poster this year was drawn by Tuck School student John R. Bowers '4l, whose striking design is that of a crouched skier against an almost black background, with a list of Carnival events printed around two edges. Lupo's poster is executed in brilliant red colors against a blue background.
Since the posters are so attractive in themselves, the Outing Club hopes to sell a good part of its now abundant supply. They will be mailed anywhere in the United States upon receipt of 55 cents for the pair.
Harry A. Jacobs '42 of New York City was this month elected to be Editor-inChief of the 1942 edition of DartmouthOut O' Doors, annual yearbook-magazine of the Club which is published each summer under the direction of the Publicity Bureau. In appointing Jacobs as editor of the publication, the Executive Committee also named A. Michael Frothingham '43 and Leo Silverstein '43, both of New York City, to aid him as associate editors.
Jacobs, who will begin his duties immediately, succeeds William Mitchel '42 in the editorship. He is manager of the varsity ski team, having worked himself up to that position through three years of participation in the Winter Sports Department of the club.
Nine sophomores and one junior were elected to membership in the Cabin and Trail Division of the Outing Club this fall. Their elections were announced by Robert White '42, chairman of C. & T. The newly elected members, who had to participate in a rigid training program before they were eligible for membership, are: Richard Backus '44, Webster, N. Y.; Sydney Bowers '44, New York City; Richard Farnsworth '44, Winchester, Mass.; Malcolm Morse '44, Wellesley Hills, Mass.; Jack Snobble '44, Highland Park, III.; Richard Allenby '44, Highland Park, III.; James Hardigg '44, Washington, D. C.; William Mussey '44, Rochester, Minn.; and Anthony Farrell '43, Loudonville, N. Y.
Induction ceremonies were held at Moose Mountain, during which the new members prepared a supper for the club and took part in the construction of the last quarter mile of the Thunderjug Ski Trail.
As this was being written the Outing Club, under the direction of Robert White '42 and Willmer Dutton '42, was preparing for its annual Christmas Party, held this year on December 15 at the Ravine Camp.
A roast beef supper and program of speakers and entertainment was planned by the committee for the many Club members and College officials expected.
After the party a program of ski pictures was shown under the sponsorship of the Entertainment Committee of the Club. The films, which were brought to Hanover by John Litchfield '39, showed many of the country's leading skiers in action.
