DARTMOUTH MENLUNCHEON EVERY MONDAY NOONUNIVERSITY CLUB, CHICAGO

We entertained the entering freshmen from this area at a "dutch treat" luncheon on September 9. A representative group appeared with their dads but the only Dartmouth father-and-son combination was Bill Abbott '27 and son Jim '53, who graduated from Lake Forest Academy in June. The importance of their ensuing four years at Hanover was stressed in a brief talk by Prexy TigeLyon '25. This was followed by the singing of Dartmouth songs by a well synchronized quartet consisting of Gordy Hinners '45, George Hinners '49, Bill Embree '50 and JayBuck '50, a combination we hope to retain as a permanent asset of our association.

A bit of exciting romance appeared recently in the local press regarding Dr. TonySusen '42, who is reported to have been a medical officer on the 100-foot Blue Dolphin which made a three-months, cruise to Labrador for the Arctic Institute of North America during the past summer. When ice forced the ship into a port in southern Labrador, Dr. Susen met an attractive English maiden named Iris Mitchener, of Ilford, Essex, England, who had been serving there in the Grenfell Mission. The romance is to be consummated in December.

Eugene McDonald Kinney, a recent Dartmouth graduate, will be married on Decern ber 23th to Barbara Dlckison.

And what news follows more logically than the report of the recent arrival of a second son to the Hal Sommers '40!

Friends of Don Sheridan '44 will be pleased to learn that he has been released from the Evanston Hospital after a lengthy sojourn there for polio. Don is now able to get around in a wheel chair at his home in suburban Ravinia.

Jake Bingham '18, representing the Boston & Maine, was a recent luncheon visitor. He has been in Chicago a good deal of the summer, representing his company at the Railroad Fair.

We were pleased to see Tracy Kohl '20 at a recent luncheon, and to learn that under his managership the Oak Park Arms Hotel is maintaining its high standards.

Bill Fletcher '30, a representative of Carter's Ink, who hails from Brookline, Mass., dropped in to have luncheon with us recently.

Another issue of Dartmouth in Chicago is about to come off the press, having been edited by Dick Montgomery '35. Bob Woodcock '33, who has done a bang-up job as business manager, is retiring after the present issue in favor of Bert Hallin '24.

Beginning October 10 and each Monday noon during the football season, we expect to show movies of the previous week's Dartmouth game. We are planning to get together with the Cornell alumni at the Chicago Yacht Club on November 12, to receive a play-by-play telegraphic report of the Big Green-Big Red game.
