Southern California

For the third year in a row, Tuss McLaughry looped down here on his way home from coaching the East-West game in San Francisco and gave us the best possible reason for running a New Year's luncheon. Tuss looked fine; healthy and sunburnt as a Californian (south'n, that is), and he held the 36 customers at the Chapman Park as keenly interested as always. Items—he said flatly that some of the Ivy teams this year would stack up creditably with the more publicized Big Ten outfits A highlight—his deadpan chronicle of Dartmouth and Princeton vs. Hurricane U A character sidelight— when Tuss mentioned the two Dartmouth youngsters brought out for the game, his emphasis went not on how they delivered for him, but that "the trip was an experience they'll never forget." As usual, BillAdams '34 presided, Ed Ramsey '35 collected, and Bob Williams '26 cheer-led. Wes Nutten '22 made the elders among us envious by introducing his undergraduate . son, who hauled out for Hanover later in the day.

Our series of football luncheons last fall turned out to be even more successful than we had hoped. Hanover sent us the 16mm. film on the games while it was still wet, and we can strongly recommend the notion to other clubs. Coming up: a Pasadena dinner honoring Dr. Walter Adams '98, in April; the second annual Winter Carnival up at Snowcrest for families (current and contemplated) in March; and, more immediately, a dinner in February when George Colton '35 comes out from Hanover. George is secretary of the new Development Council, editor of the Bulletin, and mixed up in Hanover activities generally. He will have the latest on the College and its situation. We may also see a preview of the new and good highschool recruiting film, "My First Week at Dartmouth." Chapman Park Hotel, evening of February 20. See you there.
