New York City
A WORTHY REVIEW of the past sixty days' activities here at this mid-town center of the Dartmouth alumni world is beyond the available powers of expression of those who would pinch hit for the stubborn modesty of the genius Dick Carpenter '10, Editor of the News. However, thanks to the leadership of our retiring president, that "calculating young owl" John Moore '23, a most inspiring season of fellowship will near its close with the climactic annual dinner at the Commodore on April 16. This grand affair will be a deliberate challenge to the Boston crowd, even if we do import Harry McDevitt '07 to lead us in harmony. Those from here who observed Boston's big Tea Party suggest that Bostonians may learn a few tricks by being here April 16. Our pre-dinner and post-dinner rehearsals at the Club three short blocks from the Commodore will be more than just a tribute to the hospitality of Pete and Pat.
January saw a record-breaking meeting of the Dartmouth Society of Engineers. The calendar was jammed with class dinners, some mixed, some stag, and the Saturday afternoon Open House parties principally patronized by the younger classes have inspired the old guys to drop in with their generation of old songs and stories of the "Old Dartmouth." The New York Dartmouth Outing Club dinner on February 20, with Ross McKenney and JohnRand was swell. The "Tuckers Annual TuckIn" on March 13 is assuredly a high-light for fifty or more "smoothies" who will hear the Hanover "shooters and sharpies," such as Dean Olsen '22 and Al Frey '20.
"Daniel Webster Night" under the auspices of the metropolitan New York Lawyers Group was undoubtedly a classic Quoting from the March Club News: "Princeton attests Dartmouth Club's Cooperation." Questions of both clubs are answered in a manner satisfactory to both parties. Sparkling feature columns such as "Polling Pete's Patients," "Heap Big Braves," "About People You Kriow," and "Round the Social Wljirl," are just fillers of more than ordinary personal interest in a publication that next month goes to extra pages due to the enterprise of one Dick Carpenter '10, bashful beyond words.
