Thirty-five alumni and wives observed the traditional Dartmouth Night gathering during a dance last Friday evening at Happy Acres Country Club in Webster.

Held from 9:00 to 1:00, the event featured the music of the Helen McManus Trio. Jack Carey '49 read the telegram from the college which was sent to alumni groups meeting that night in observance of the Dartmouth tradition all over the world.

Dr. and Mrs. Bill Coleman '48 were host and hostess for the affair. During the evening Mary Jane Schoonmaker did a blues number, and Carey entertained with a selection from The Music Man. Helen McManus had learned her Dartmouth songs well. Betty Mc.Sorley and Dartmouth Wives Club assistants put up decorations.

A 36-year spread of classes was represented at the dinner event at the Country Club of Rochester, September 16. Al Foley '20, professor of history in Hanover, informed, amused, reminisced, and spoke with feeling about a college in New Hampshire. Pete Potter '20 introduced Al and presented a check for $500 for safe conveyance northward. Earned by the club from the Glee Club concert, it will be used to build up the principal of the Dartmouth Rochester Regional Scholarship Fund.

Two meetings of the enrollment committee have been held under the co-chairmanship of John Osborn '45 and Ed Leene '43.

Recently the group which works to encourage the interest of outstanding boys in the Rochester area in Dartmouth met from 5 to 6 P.M. at the University Club. Reports were given on progress in contacting every secondary school in and near the city. Usually, one alumnus visits each high school and arranges a meeting with boys in the top ten or fifteen percent of the class who would like to learn more about Dartmouth. More people are needed for this activity, which is crucial to the future of the college. Interested alumni should call John Osborn at HA 6-4850. Assisting in the administration of enrollment work is Henry Williams Jr. '52.

Edward C. Riley '63, 160 Landing Road North, became one of twenty freshmen across the U. S. to win a Daniel Webster Scholarship. An honorary citation for Ed, the grant can range as high as $2000, depending on need.
