Washington, D. C.
GET OUT THAT CALENDAR pad and jot down a memorandum that you have a date for Thursday, March 5th!—for that is the night of our annual dinner. Percy Russell Jr. '29 is chairman of this event and he wishes to announce that dinner will be served at 7 P.M. at the National Press Club. Percy has arranged an outstanding program featuring two mighty fine speakers from Hanover, Dean Lloyd K. Neidlinger and Coach Tuss McLaughry, so call up a classmate and bring him along.
January 20th was the date of our "speaker luncheon." A group of '37 alumni heard an extremely interesting talk by Samuel E. Gates, Southern California '26, who is International Counselor of the Civil Aeronautics Board. Mr. Gates told us what is happening to air lines in South America. Among those present were: Brad Reeves '35, Frank Livermore '2l, Nat Burleigh '11, Carl Ray '37, Irving Blaine '2O, Hal Payne '33, Bob Kay '33, Karl Maas '34, Jack Thompson '29, and Charles Stickney Jr. '21.
The "Young Boys" quartet, which has entertained us so well on so many occasions in the past, has been dissolved "for the duration." We have lost its two mainstays —"Chuck" Grant '39 to the Army Air Force and Joe Huber '4O to the Navy Air Force.
The great rush on Washington with all its crowding and confusion is not without its blessings. It gives us a chance to see many Dartmouth men from out of town who are busy chasing down priorities or who are doing special work for Uncle Sam. Recently we have seen at the Tuesday luncheons: Larry Smith '26, Bud Hallett '35, Bob MacMillen '4O, Bob Maynard '37, Bernie Burgunder '4l, Norm Brandt '41, Dean Worcester '36 and Mansfield Sprague '33.
