With the D.O.C.
MANY NEW MEN SIGN UP FOR CLUB;CABIN TRIP PLANNED FOR FRESHMEN
WITH THE influx of the Freshman Class of 1949, the D. O. C. membership roster has been considerably increased, for a large number of the new Dartmouth men have come into 22 Robinson Hall to join up. Canoeing and fishing head the list at present as the most popular attractions.
Cabin and Trail, headed by Dick Howe '46, is planning a big Freshman Trip to Moosilauke as an introduction to the D. O. C. chain of cabins. Forty men have signed up for the trip, and it looks as if a repeat trip will be necessary since this number is the limit that can be taken on one weekend due to transportation difficulties.
This summer semester has seen a large demand for the weekend use of various cabins within hiking or thumbing distance of Hanover.
The installation of a dock near the Ledyard Canoe Club is in progress. Here the U. S. Navy Unit will house its whale boat fleet, and this equipment will be used as a part of the Navy training program.
Friends of R. P. (Pete) Brundage '45 will regret to learn that he was killed in action on Okinawa on May 3, 1945. Pete was Director of Winter Sports and prominent in Cabin and Trail Council. He was always a cheerful leader, and his many friends will always remember his guitar concerts in 19 Robinson. He died climbing a mountain in attack on an enemy position.
Those former Moosilauke Hutmasters who are interested in the building of the new mountain hut may pass along their suggested plans and ideas to the D. O. C. office. All such help will be appreciated when the time comes to replace the old hut burned a few years ago.
Will Sharon, the Sage of Moosilauke, is cutting his own supply of winter firewood this year, and plans to keep several degrees ahead of freezing when the big snows fall next winter.
Dartmouth men returning from the services who look forward to early skiing next winter may be interested to know that the Franconia cabin which was burned several years ago has been replaced and will be available to Dartmouth men who may want to avail themselves of early skiing facilities at Cannon Mountain. The cabin is almost directly opposite the tramway and will hold sixteen persons in a pinch. Incidentally, good fishing can be had in this vicinity for those who are fortunate enough to be able to spend a vacation up in the Notch.
