Baltimore

NO ACTIVITIES DURING THE PAST SUMMER, but our last meeting, in May, was unique and most enjoyable. Brad Foss '25 had invited the Club to hold the meeting at his beautiful new home on Wickford Road. That was all he had to do with it, he said, "the wife did all the rest." Well, we were all agreed that she planned and produced a masterpiece of a party. First we had cocktails in the living rooms, served with delectable sandwiches by charming hostesses, and then we retired to the club-room over the garage for the sumptuous dinner, a barbecue extraordinaire, turned out to perfection by a negro master of the art, who in his time had prepared state barbecues with hundreds of guests for the Governor of Georgia. The meat simply melted in the mouth, its flavor so delicious that one did not ask, and could hardly have guessed, from what animal it came.

The occasion was made even more memorable by the presence of two new recruits, both enthusiastic Dartmouth men: Jim ("Squash") Mclntyre '01, whom the Secretary remembers well as a bicycle racer on the Track Team about the end of the last century; and Bob Bartlett '16, of a younger generation. To fill the vacancy caused a year ago by the regretted departure of Chauncey Colton '35 for Minnesota, the Club elected Brad. Foss to the office of First Vice President. In September we resume our monthly dinner-meetings, on the third Thursdays, at the Blackstone Apartments, Charles Street at 33rd, where all Dartmouth men will be most welcome.
