A quick glance at the year just past reveals these highlight events: Annual Picnic June 23, at Henry Thrall's farm, 85 present. Traditional ball game plus other tests of skill, topped off with door prizes. Dave Warner '41 headed up arrangements.

Heard recordings from Hanover, including comments by President Dickey and Tuss McLaughry. Joe Vancisin and Bob Krieger in charge.
Holiday Gathering for prospects and undergraduates December 20, at the Chaney home. Plied boys with food, movies and gave them a chance to become acquainted. Attended by 13 prospects and 25 undergraduates; 8 alumni and 4 charming hostesses. Clark MacGregor and Wood Foster handled arrangements.
Christmas Smoker December 29, at Town and Country Club, 125 alumni and undergraduates present. Phil Thompson was in charge.
Annual Dinner February 1, at St. Paul University Club. We were privileged to have President John S. Dickey and Treasurer John Meek as our guests of honor. Herb Bissell and his committee handled arrangements.
It has been a busy year with movies. We have purchased our own copy of My FirstWeek at Dartmouth and have already shown it to many groups. During the football season we viewed pictures.of most of the games at regular luncheon meetings. Bob Krieger did a good job of keeping on top of this activity.
Scholarship, enrollment and interviewing activities as headed up by John Faegre, ClarkMacGregor, John Kelley and Wood Foster have made real progress. We had two representatives at the Denver Alumni Club Conference on November 11...Steve Osborn and Stu MacPhail. They brought back new plans for the enrollment program and Glee Club concert promotion.
All of us were much saddened when HapAtwood died suddenly last August. His passing is a deep loss to Dartmouth and to each of us personally.
Enrollment Committee: Clark MacGregor, in charge of enrollment, and his committee are in the process of completing organization and are trying to secure an alumnus for contact work with each school in the state. If any of you have good contacts at schools, out of state especially, let Clark know. To date this committee with the help of Al Dickerson of the College have visited 10 schools and have talked to some 200 boys. The new film, My FirstWeek at Dartmouth, has been shown and the response has been very encouraging. Any help you can give Mac will be greatly appreciated.
We think it worthy of note that our dues contribution this year to date is $509.50 as compared to $414.00 for the 1949-50 season. We want to thank each and every one of you for fine cooperation.
