Chicago

A DARTMOUTH pow-wow that favorably approximated similar celebrations of prior years was held in Chicago on December 22nd. It started with the undergraduate luncheon at the Union League Club. Coach Eddie Jeremiah '30 and his varsity hockey team were our special guests and over 125 members of the Association, undergraduates and their fathers were present.

Eddie gave the address of the day, a most interesting extemporaneous account of the team's western trip including the trials of a hockey coach who undertakes the training of a team with no ice to skate on. As is the custom at these gatherings, each undergraduate was asked to rise and identify himself and also introduce his father. The justifiable pride with which such "old timers" as Lefty Farrar '19 and Ralph Hinners '22 acknowledged introductions by their sons, both members of the class of '45, was one of the highlights.

The scene shifted to the University Club in the afternoon. From 4:00 to 7:00 local alumni entertained their ladies and friends at the Association's annual tea and cocktail party. A buffet supper also was served to the large group that always attends this function. Afterwards everyone adjourned to the Chicago Arena for the hockey game between Dartmouth and Illinois.

Except for the fact thatwe lost the hockey game it was a grand day and great credit is due all who were in charge of arrangements from President Bill Juergens '23 on down the line. In handling the distribution of tickets for the hockey game Neil Williams '25 had a thankless task which was efficiently performed with few complaints. As usual John Wright '32 and his Entertainment Committee functioned in their able manner. The hockey team took the Illini into camp the following evening at Champaign and our only regret is that they couldn't have reversed the procedure for the benefit of local partisans.

It is with a sense of great loss that we record here the death on January 6 of Clint Cheney '9O, a loyal Dartmouth alumnus and for many years a faithful member of this Association. Clint was always interested in the affairs of the Association and in years past was an enthusiastic participant in all of its activities. We take this opportunity to express publicly our sorrow and to extend our deepest sympathy to the members of his family.

In accordance with suggestions already issued from Hanover, it is our particular desire in these times to make the facilities of the Chicago Association available to any alumnus who may find himself in this vicinity either as a member of our armed forces or otherwise. Details as to how this can best be accomplished are still under consideration. In the meantime the undersigned, as custodian of the Association's records, will be glad to act as a one-man information bureau in assisting out-oftown alumni who want to get in touch with classmates or other College friends living in Chicago. A telephone call is all that is necessary. The number is Central 5610.
