FEBRUARY EXODUS
March 1944 Robert B. Hodes '46, USNR

Another accelerated semester has passed into memory. What once would have been a full half year of nonchalant, unhurried education now leaves the impression of having existed only as a few hectic weeks before and after a brief Christmas leave.

The last group of 45's on campus left for other stations in February, and all the sad handshakes were accompanied by hopes of meeting again in Flanover as soon as things could be arranged. One man said that is was his most fervent desire to walk down the Wilhelmstrasse singing Dartmouth's in Town Again, very loudly, to serve notice upon all the other boys who happened to be in town at the moment. With no disrespect for the serious business we are doing, our man's ambition doesn't seem too inappropriate. Berlin will undoubtedly need more of that sort of thing after the war, personally directed activities with no particular goal of inspiration, mass fright, or national chest-pounding, nor of pushing back crowds or amusing little men under spotlights, but just individual people doing things in a highly unorganized manner.

KING WINTER in front of Robinson Hall featured the snow sculpture and presided over the Winter Sports Week-end, February 5-6.

NAUTICAL SNOW SCULPTURE was the rule for Dartmouth's 34th annual winter sports week-end. South Fayer produced (top) a resplendent Marine having shoes shined by a sailor.
