Chicago

Under the able leadership of President Modie J. Spiegel '22, Chicago alumni have had an active year. In addition to the traditional Monday luncheon "Dartmouth table" at the Real Estate Club, more formal luncheon meetings with scheduled speakers have been held on the first Wednesday of each month. For the latter programs, the association has access to a private room at the Real Estate Club which is located at 105 West Madison Street, fourth floor. Since monthly speakers were inaugurated last fall, we have had the pleasure of hearing Sykes Hardy '27, President - Joseph T. Ryerson & Sons; Earl Hamilton; Modie J. Spiegel '22, Chairman Spiegel, Inc.; George Halas, owner and head coach of the Chicago Bears Football Club; Beryl W. Sprinkel, Economist, Harris Trust and Savings Bank; and Robert Sargent Shriver, Jr., President, Chicago Board of Education. Coming attractions include: Wednesday, October 1, John J. Berwanger, All American Football Great from University of Chicago: Wednesday, November 5, Walter J. Aschenbach, head football coach, New Trier High School: and Monday, November 24 (Monday following the Princeton game), Bob Blackman, head coach at Dartmouth.

The association's annual golf outing was held on September 10, at Lake Shore Country Club. Despite inclement weather, some seventy hardy golfers were on hand to tee off in the early afternoon. Late arrivals augmented the number on hand for dinner to approximately ninety. This event was hosted by Modie Spiegel '22; M.C.'d by Zeke Thurlow '49; and held under auspices of Jim Stevens' Social Committee. Kent Calhoun '52 did yeoman service in arranging foursomes, starting times, and obtaining a "heavenly deal" from Jim Campion insofar as prizes were concerned.

On Friday night, October 3, the Kenilworth Club was the scene of this year's traditional Dartmouth Night Dinner-Dance.

Despite repeated warnings from Treasurer Si Morand '50 not to win the Chicagoland Ivy League Golf Tournament again this year (the winning Club is obligated to stand the expense of hosting the following year's event). Kent Calhoun '52 and John P. Schalles '50 kept Dartmouth's name on the Ivy League Bowl signifying golfing excellence for the second year in succession. Defending medalist and official host (in absentia) Biz (the golfing QB) Howard '49 was unable to participate this year because he was in San Francisco competing in the National Amateur Championship Golf Tournament. Fortunately for the Chicago treasury, representatives from Columbia stepped forward and volunteered to host next year's get-together at Indian Hill Country Club. Dartmouth is the first club to become two-time holder of the bowl, originally presented by the Brown alumni.

Once again, the major project facing the Association this fall is the annual interviewing and enrollment program. Henry Parker '26 (STate 3-8200) would be pleased to hear from any alumni in the Chicagoland area who might be interested in helping out with this project.
