D.O.C. of No. Calif.

This year is a milestone in the history of the Dartmouth Outing Club of Northern California. For the third time, our record for occupancy of the Club's cabin at Donner Summit, high in the Sierra Nevada, was broken last winter. There were eighteen parties, totaling 111 people, on fourteen weekends, and some midweek time between Christmas and Memorial Day. The exterior walls are now complete in the addition started last year, with all windows installed. These walls will be caulked and a floor laid in this section in the remaining weekends of this construction season. The Ray Taylor Memorial fireplace, long anticipated, is now an accomplished fact. We hope it will be dedicated by President Dickey in October, following his attendance at the Dartmouth Regional Conference in San Francisco.

Our Annual Meeting was again held at a picnic in Redwood Regional Park. There were present eighteen alumni, most of them with their wives and families, and three of the Class of 1959 - in a", 57 people. The new Board of Directors has Don Tenney '40, president; TavyTaylor '28 and Al Grant '43, vice presidents; Winsor Wilkinson '10, secretary-treasurer; Carl Ward '32, assistant secretary-treasurer; Jack Garfein '21, Chuck Robinson '31 and John Rockwell '46, members.

The fireplace, mentioned above, is being built by a professional rock mason, whose contract calls for completion during the Labor Day weekend. The fireplace contains four "significant rocks." Three, from Dartmouth properties in New Hampshire, were obtained through the cooperation of Bob Monahan '29, the College Forester and a former member of our Club. Our thanks go to him and also to those who actually collected the rocks at Bob's request. The fourth rock was contributed by Troy Parker '11 from the waste below the sculpture on Mt. Rushmore, South Dakota. Our thanks to him too. Troy and Ray Taylor were classmates.
