Cleveland

June in Cleveland again included a most successful annual picnic at Jim Rutherford's '24 estate, Gladford Glen. Ed Obemdorf '52 and John Klein '52 ran the affair which brought out 96 loyal beer drinkers and ball players, about half of whom are undergraduates.

New officers were elected at our annual meeting and are as follows. President, Eben H. Cockley '40; Ist Vice-President, Warren J. Crumbine '37; 2nd Vice-President, William L. Ziegler '50; Secretary, Raymond M. Barker Jr. '52; Treasurer, Richard J. Blum '53; Asst. Secretary, Edward Oberndorf '52; Asst. Treasurer, John Klein '52.

Our immediate plans include our annual Tea Dance to be held at the Hunt Club on October 4. This is always one of our most successful functions bringing together large groups of Dartmouth men and their friends. Bill Chilcote '43 and Dick Lezius '47 will be in charge of the dance this year. We are looking forward to as large a turnout and as successful an evening as we have had in years past.

This backyard barbecue at Midland, Texas, was one of the first events for the new Permian Basin Dartmouth Club, covering West Texas and Southeast New Mexico. L to r: back row King Kenny '50, Ed Leede '48, Frank Davis '39 (secretary-treasurer), Tony Nicolais '45, Bill Reeder '41, Max Edwards '44; front row — Charlene Kenny, Margaret Leede, Ruth Davis, Sally Reeder, Pam Edwards. Sue and Bill Newberry '49 missed the picture. All area alumni are urged to contact Frank Davis, 204 Club Drive, Midland, Texas, for club information.
