Dartmouth men travelling through San Francisco this summer have not forgotten us. Many have learned that we have a most pleasant private room for meeting our Dartmouth friends: WEEKLY LUNCHEONS—EVERY WEDNESDAY St. Julien's, San Francisco
We guarantee at least one surprise each week. Look at what happened on June 28, when the Medical Association was in session in San Francisco—the delegates were hard to locate, but we finally caught up with Dr.Stanley Weld 'l2, the Connecticut Yankee and a good key man. His classmate Bill Butler, San Jose hospital administrator, said we should also round up Dr. Henry Viets 'l2 attending from Boston. Tried to find Dr. Jack Bowler 'l5 and thanks to Dx. Bill Washburn's ('l4) nurse, he was tracked down at Bill's Southern Pacific R.R. Hospital. Jack showed up at St. Julien's, as did Stanley and Henry. "Chuck" Faye '3O brought along classmate Dr. "Hub" Christ-man from Cleveland. In comes Dr. Tom Fos-ter 'lO, Portland, Maine, primed by classmate Winsor Wilkinson when he saw him in Han- over at their reunion; also Dr. Deering Smith 'l7 and Dr. Mac Shepard '2s—(Another sec- tion of table please,—not an unusual request on Wednesdays at St, Julien's).
With the luncheon nearly over, Dr. BillDoran '3O and his charming wife Margaret were at the door. After due consideration Margaret was given a seat of honor in the main dining room, leaving the thirty-plus-one Dartmouth men to carry out the "usual" pro- gram. Just like "old home week."
On June 10 the Ivy League picnic took place, with Ed Drechsel '35 representing Dart- mouth on the Arrangements Committee, as- sisted by "Tavey" Taylor '2B in soft ball, "Brant" McCullough '3l in horseshoes, and Percy Rideout '4O in tennis, all of whom did right well; and Dartmouth won the Ship's Bell Trophy once more after a year's stay with the Princeton Club.
A late Annual Meeting last spring, with election of officers for the coming year, results in a delayed report: President, Robert B.Allen '33; Vice-President, David P. Smith '35; Secretary-Treasurer, B. L. Winslow '2O. Inci- dentally, the high spot of that dinner meeting in May was another talk by Carl Spaeth '29, Dean of Stanford's Law School, in which he brought us up to date on world affairs and Dartmouth's place therein, as he sees it. It was apparent that most of us agree with him, although many o£ us hate to face facts.
The special fall meetings started with "Open House" for our freshmen. Ten local boys entered Dartmouth in September. Most of them, and some with their fathers, were able to join one or more of our Wednesday luncheons during September, and we were also fortunate in having one of the two boys from Honolulu visit with us. From all we have seen, congratulations are in order for Al Dickerson '3O and his staff. Those boys are all going to make fine alumni in four years.
