Harding.
As the Club, which started as a local group, now includes 68 Dartmouth men representing a large area and 20 communities in this section of Florida, it was voted that an appropriate change should be made in the name of the Club, and the Secretary was instructed to request the Alumni Office to approve the name of Dartmouth Club of Central Florida so that action could be formally taken to that effect at a meeting to be held in April.
By way of informal program, Dr. Grover read an original poem written 45 years ago for a dinner in New York honoring "Clothes- pins" Richardson. John Everatt *49 responded to the call for the youngest alumnus present, and Richard Plumer '12 told of his experience in the building up of interest and activities in the Club at Miami. Royal Hatch '02 spoke of the aid extended to students over the years by Mr. and Mrs. Jack Frost of Hanover as a memorial for their son who died while a sophomore at Dartmouth.
