1947

After almost three years of quiet class activities, your indirectly-elected Executive Committee met at the Dartmouth House to plan for the election of new class officers. It was proposed and agreed that petitions for nomination for the candidates for President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer be accepted in two groups. Thus it would be specified on the petition if the candidate were running for either President or Vice President or for the position of Secretary or Treasurer. These nomination petitions will be turned in to the office of the Assistant to the Dean Camp, and in a short time after these nominations have been received, the Green Key-sponsored election will be held. The present Executive Committee will retire, and the newly-elected officers will preside over class activities until sometime just before graduation this spring when a class meeting will be held to determine the best way to provide capable officers for our Alumni days.

Election results were not available in time for this publication but will be made public in next month's issue when this column will be taken under the less-practiced but morecapable guidance of a "new hand."

We have recently received the news of the engagement of Miss Carolyn Lapp to Roe Black. Miss Lapp is a member of the Junior class at Skidmore where she has just recently started school after completing a year and a half service with the Waves. Roe is back at school this fall after almost three year's service with the Army. After leaving school in the fall of 1943, Roe was a member of the ASTP unit at Syracuse for three months until he was sent to Fort Benning, Ga., for basic training. From there he went to the New York Trade School in Manhattan for the study of electricity and was overseas in the Philippines and Japan until April of this year.
