1955

For some reason, I find it very difficult to say "no" to those who seek ray services for one reason or another. From time to time, this leads to unfavorable situations that are hard to avoid. This column - if on schedule - arrives in the hands of Charlie Widmayer in Hanover by the fifth of the month (a date which became history a few hours ago). As you may have guessed, this prologue is offered as an excuse for this most recent case of tardiness. To get back to the subject (being able to say "no"), the latest failure to utter the negative occurred some months back when someone asked this new, eager, young citizen of the community to serve as Assistant Scoutmaster of the church troop. I am now looking back 011 two weeks that required ten nights of scouting in fourteen chances! (The Yankees should have such an average.) Needless to say, instead of producing a column last weekend, I battled the spring elements with several other scoutmasters, and emerged from the wilderness with two very bloodshot and sleepless eys, miscellaneous lacerations, burns, and bruises, a total ache ... and a "training certificate."

Between square-knots, I was fortunate enough to sit in on another Alumni Fund campaign dinner. President Dickey was there, and he brought us a clear statement of Dartmouth's goals with some specific financial figures that underscored the need for 100% success in the $1,000,000 Drive. Although we have sometimes asked for token participation in the past to give us 100%, the current financial picture and forecast increased costs of providing a top-notch education dictate a need for realistic giving this time. The letter you received from Don Sawyer '21, Chairman of the Drive, states the situation clearly. This is a big year for us with a class reunion coming up - let's make it an even bigger one for the College with an all-out 100% realistic contribution to the 1960 Alumni Fund Drive.

By now, everyone should have answered Pep Perry's various requests for information. From the looks of the material flowing enthusiastically out of Hanover by post, Pep is doing a great job of organizing the big "Fifth," so let's do our part to help him along.
