Northern New Jersey
ON Wednesday evening, September 18, President Dickey addressed a gathering of over 200 Alumni at a dinner held at the Montclair Golf Club. Those present were well rewarded not only with news of the current Hanover scene but also by hearing President Dickey's own analysis of some of those vital problems that trouble and confuse the world picture today.
The Dartmouth Club of Northern New jersey is deeply appreciative of President Dickey's willingness to address the dinner, for by so doing he launched a revival of a group largely inactive during the war years. Many thanks to Eddy Earle '17 who cheerfully consented to travel over from Long Island to keep the piano hot. And a bow to Josh Davis '27 who introduced the President as perhaps could only have been done by one who has Alumni Funded under both our beloved Hoppy and, we are all sure, our soon to be equally regarded new Prexy.
Our officers elected in 1941 who have done so much to retain a spark of fire in the Club during the war years gracefully consented to terminate their five-year stretch by presenting nominations for a new official family which was elected in the best manner of machine politics:
President, Jack MacKechnie '31 of Summit; First Vice-President, Harry V. Osborne Jr. '33 of Cranford; Second Vice-President, Bill Bumstead '40 of Newark; Treasurer, Ed Foley Jr. '33 of Morristown; Recording Secretary, Lou Wilcox '23 of Westfield; and Correspondence Secy., Gus Perkins '21 of Madison.
In reporting, the Nominating Committee emphasized their intention of not only cover- ing a fairly wide range of classes but also of considering geographical distribution in their selections. It was also delegated to the elected officers to select a Board of Governors of 10 to assist them. It is expected that this selection will be made with the same principles in mind as expressed by the Nominating Committee.
Fired with the enthusiasm engendered by the success of this post-war start the new slate of officers are determined to do all possible to carry the Club forward and to make it an active, vital factor for all the Dartmouth men of this area.
