MILWAUKEE weather has hit the nation's headlines twice this year. Last winter the big snow, and on May 6 the earthquake. The later date is easy to remember, because it's the day before what would have been the more logical date for such a happening, "Remember the day, the seventh of May." Whatever did happen on the seventh of May was an anticlimax compared to the build-up. May 6, the day of the earthquake, was a day Milwaukee will long remember and it was also supposed to have been the day of the big Dartmouth golf game on local greens. But can you imagine a situation more ridiculous and exasperating to a golfer than to have the ball stand still and the earth twitch out from under it. Besides the earthquake it was raining that day, so that too may have been one of the contributing reasons as to why the game was called off. But granite hearts are not faint, and the last earthquake in this vicinity having been about 1750, we will try again another day.

Hal Clarke '16, former president of the Chicago Alumni Association, had lunch with us the other day at our regular Monday noon luncheon at the Astor Hotel. Jim Frederickson '21 was in from Madison. First time we'd seen Freddy since before the war. We had some swell picnics at his place in Madison. Someone asked if we plan to continue the weekly luncheons during the summer months. Sure, the boys agreed. They have to eat anyway, there's no parking problem at the Astor, and the dining room is air-conditioned. So it's a natural. We continue our Monday noon luncheons at the Astor. And you are invited.
