The annual dinner meeting, attended by over 65; Dartmouth men and their wives, was held at the Washington House, Watchung, on Thursday, May 4.
The group started assembling at seven thirty for a social hour before the actual meeting. After dinner, Lou Wilcox '23, outgoing President of the Club, presented the new by-laws to the membership. After a brief resume they were adopted by unanimous vote. Camp Hopkins '42, Chairman of the Nominating Committee, was introduced and he presented the following slate of officers and members of the Board of Governors for the ensuing year. President, Bill McCarthy '39; Vice President, Kirby Fowler '56; Secretary, Warren Smith '53; Treasurer, Skip Hetfield '56. For members of the Board of Governors for a three-year term, Jack Corwith '42, Perk Fitch '25, Bill Rex '54 and BillSchuldenfrei '31 and to serve Kirby Fowler's unexpired term of two years, Tom Streeter '44. There being no further nominations from the floor, the secretary was instructed to cast a unanimous ballot. After a few more items of business the meeting was turned over to Kirby Fowler, Chairman of the Program Committee. J
"The Daydreamers," a distaff barbershop quartet associated with the Sweet Adelines, Inc. and runners-up in the Eastern Regional meeting held in Baltimore recently, entertained with several close harmony selections and old favorites. This was the second appearance of this singing group before the Club, the last being at our mid-winter Ivy League Smoker.
Dr. John W. Masland, Provost of the College, was the guest speaker. His subject, "Academic Developments at Dartmouth," generated a number of questions from the group; a good testimony to the interest aroused by Dr. Masland.
There being no further business, the group broke up short of midnight. The next meeting is scheduled for the fall, prior to the Princeton game.
