Secretary of the Year

Raymond A. "Welbourn '41, in only a few alumni centers does one man ever become known as "Mr. Dartmouth"; but, from the shadow of New Hampshire's Ragged Mountain to the Maine border, from the summit of Mt. Osceola to Lucas Pond, you are it. You have earned this title through your untiring work in behalf of the Dartmouth Club of the Lakes Region which you have served for the last nine years. You are also

"Mr. Dartmouth" for hundreds of secondary school boys in your area, the best of whom find their way to Hanover.

You have been singled out this evening, Ray, in recognition of the splendid job you are doing for the College, and it is our pleasure to speak for the Dartmouth fellowship in naming you Dartmouth Club Secretary of the Year.
