Dartmouth Men—Luncheon Every MondayNoon, University Club
IT WAS A HAPPY AFTERNOON for the Dartmouth contingent, which joined with the local Cornell Alumni Association Saturday afternoon, November 15, at the Chicago Yacht Club. A play-by-play report of the game was received by Western Union and the bulletins read every minute or two. At the same time the play was transcribed on a gridgraph.
Prexy Don MacKay '20 lead the Dartmouth cheering section while others on hand included our vice-president Connor Shaw '43, Ed Keeler '11, Jim O'Neill '13 (a New York City visitor), Malcolm Macdonald '15, accompanied by his son, Bo Macdonald '40, CourtHorr '18, Truman Metzel '23, Sumner Sollitt '23, Chuck Simmons '30, Bob McClory '30, Frank Wardwell '34, Ed Woolman '46 and Bob Laggren Tuck '47.
Colleagues and rivals all joined together at the luncheon which preceded the exciting and gratifying returns and the triumphant afternoon closed, after the 21-13 victory, with a cheer for us by the Cornell boys and a Wah-Hoo-Wah for Cornell.
The next big activity on our program is a cocktail party scheduled for December 29, at the University Club. This is an annual event, which has proved very popular and will enable local alumni and their wives to drink a toast together before the old year passes out.
News of a Hanover-Holiday-in-Chicago will be postponed until the next issue. Meanwhile advice has just been received that the Glee Club and possibly the Barbary Coast Orchestra will entertain us on April 2, 1948.
Local press items call attention to activities of some of our members. We note that Mr.and Mrs. Nat Leverone are back from Europe and are presently busy promoting highbrow music through a series of dinner concerts at Chicago's Blackstone Hotel. Jack Carson '28 and Henry Stein '30 have been active in the Snow Chase Club, getting financial support for the United States Olympic Ski Team. A benefit cocktail party and style show was held recently in the Wedgewood Room of Marshall Field & Company, which, it is reported, netted a goodly sum for the American skiers, who will compete this winter in the Olympic games in Switzerland. Jack Carson incidentally was recently elected vice-president of the Central Ski Association.
We are always anxious to have out-of-town visitors call on us at the Monday noon luncheons at the University Club. We were pleased recently when John Turner '40, who lives way out near Great Falls, Montana, visited with us.
