The Great Divide

The suspension of monthly luncheons for the summer tends to dry up the sources of material for an interesting report on the activities of the Association and its members. The one salvation is the annual stag picnic which has become an outstanding event.

The success of this affair is due largely to its location. For many years Ned Grant '30 has generously turned over his farm to the Association for the picnic. While the baseball diamond is not in quite as good shape as Yankee Stadium it serves the purpose very well. This year the softball game was rained out in the late innings, but thanks to Ned's wonderful hospitality—the rain didn't dampen the spirit of the picnic. The big crowd merely took over Ned's lovely home and a grand time was had by all.

The success of the stag picnic unmistakably led to the demand for a picnic with the wives included. This proved to be an outstanding event and is now firmly established as an annual affair. This year it will be staged on Genesee Mountain on September 9.

Plans are now under way for the DartmouthWest of the Mississippi Conference to be held in Denver November 10-11. Your secretary has been asked to head a steering committee consisting of John Cunningham '18, our representative on the Alumni Council, Norris Williamson '26, president of our Association, R. L.Rickenbaugh '28, immediate past secretary, and Don McKinlay '37, chairman of the College Alumni Committee on Admissions. You will be hearing more about this important event soon.

Tom Campbell '18, Manager of Parks and Improvements for the City of Denver, has been Acting Mayor for the past two weeks during the Mayor's vacation. Today's newspaper reports the Mayor has been notified to report for examination and may be called into the service. If this should happen Tom would succeed him.
