DARTMOUTH MENLUNCHEON EVERY MONDAY NOONUNIVERSITY CLUB, CHICAGO

Here it is September and like many another Chicagoan, your scribe spent much of the summer elsewhere, i.e., up on Georgian Bay, Ontario. What has been going on in Chicagoamong the Dartmouth fraternity?

Well—the press reveals that Gail Compton '37, formerly farm editor of the Chicago Tribune and an expert on the care of animals, is now' in charge of a television show known as "The Pet Shop," appearing on WNBQ-NBCTV.

Our president, Tige Lyon '25, went East this summer, visiting Hanover with his two sons, Bill (a junior at Lake Forest Academy) and Whit (a freshman at the same school). Now, two more lads are planning to have college careers at Dartmouth.

The summer months were quite dull for Don Sheridan '44, a polio victim, confined to the Evanston Hospital. Don would like to receive some mail addressed to him in care of Evanston Hospital, Evanston, Illinois.

The annual outing at Louie Leverone's ('04) was held on August 11, the eve of the All-Star game. Among the 150 odd who attended were line coach Johnny Dell Isold, all-star fullback Joe Sullivan '49, and basketball coach ElmerLampe from Hanover.

The softball game between the Alumni and the undergraduates ended with the old men being nosed out 21-18 after fourteen innings of noisy, erratic and comical play. The umpire, Ted Schwartzbaugh '23, wore shorts and running shoes in order to make quick getaways following his decisions. Star pitcher for the old men was Parker Johnston '37, who swung his right hand, threw the ball with his left and spat a fountain of beer just as the batter wound up to strike at the ball.

After the game, a number of us wandered over to view a section of Louie's "estate" which has been subdivided and improved with a dozen or so attractive Lustron (prefabricated) houses. In one of them we ran into Max Pryor '46 and his beautiful blonde wife, Pat, who had just set up housekeeping.

A roaring Wah-Hoo-Wah was given for Louie Leverone whose generosity again made for one of the most successful activities of our association year. A Wah-Hoo-Wah should have been given also for Dick Babcock '40, entertainment committee chairman, who organized and publicized the outing.

Secretary, 122 So. Michigan Ave., Chicago 3, 111.
