Georgia

To date, through January, we've had a number of frosty mornings and one snow flurry of no account in the Atlanta area. Presently we are being besieged with the winter rains that would have been most desirable last summer when the drought really took its toll down here. Guess that about covers the weather situation in these climes with temperatures ranging in the sixties during the daylight hours.

We, in Atlanta and vicinity, are still in the throes of finishing up activities in the final College Days in some of the secondary schools, and will have more to report on likely candidates for Dartmouth at a later date.

To start the new year, the Dartmouth Club of Georgia held a delightful social function out at the Naval Air Station Officers' Club in Chamblee, Ga., just outside of Atlanta. It was our great pleasure to have an esteemed guest from Hanover, Prof. Arthur B. Jensen from the English Department.

Arriving from Chattanooga, Tenn., Monday evening, January 31, Dr. Jensen started the day Tuesday morning, February 1, with a radio-telephone interview over Station WAGA in Atlanta, after which a full day was spent with Lou Fortuna '38, and Mr. Ben Gibson, liaison officer between secondary schools and college representatives, visiting some of the schools in Atlanta. This was terminated by a visit to the famous Grant Park, wherein Ben Gibson verified the fact that a certain mural in the Park, similar to one in the great State of Texas, was actually larger than the one in Texas. That's some admission to make!!

Some forty people congregated the evening of February 1 at the Naval Air Station. Cocktails got under way at 6 P.M., followed by a fine dinner. . . . Dick Everett '40 led the group in several Dartmouth favorites, and a most invigorating discussion ensued later spurred on by a tremendously interesting and enlightening speech by Professor Jensen. The evening's activities were concluded with the showing of two Dartmouth films, Jack FrostOverture and Dartmouth Outdoors.

Other distinguished guests included the parents of the Dick McCarthys '50, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Gibson, and Dr. and Mrs. Vernon Powell, parents of Rom Powell '57. A whale of a good time was had by all!
