Western New York
THE ANNUAL DINNER MEETING of the Dartmouth Club of Western New York was held at the Park Country Club in Williamsville, N. Y., on March 4, 1947. Prof. Al Foley '2O, addressed the thirty-four valiant souls who braved the snow drifts to attend the meeting, \and his remarks on the Hanover scene were warmly received and brought back many memories. Al's well-known impersonation of the late Craven Laycock brought a catch to the throat of all present who had enjoyed the privilege of knowing the former Dean of the College.
Following Al's talk, the meeting was turned over to Paul Venneman, the general chairman for the forthcoming visit of the College Glee Club. He announced that the Glee Club, on its first visit to Buffalo in eleven years, would give a sacred concert at North Presbyterian Church, in connection with the one hundreth anniversary celebration of the church, on April 4, and on the following night, April 5, would sing at the Hotel Statler, the concert to be followed by a dance. He urged the support of all Western New York and visiting Alumni and announced the following committee appointments: Assistant General Chairman—L. G. Harriman Jr. '38; Sacred concert and dance orchestra—H. F. Taylor Jr. '23; Tickets—M. R. Burlingame '26; Publicity—J. P. Meegan '45.
