Chicago

Wednesday, August 22, marked the celebration of tire annual Chicago Alumni Association outing at Ralph Johnson’s ’41 farm in suburban Barrington. About 125 alumni, a number of undergraduates, and 25 pea green freshmen soon to don their beanies converged under the Dartmouth banner for a day away from the office.

Many of the alums snuck away early enough to get in a round of golf in nearby Dundee, to take a dip in the pool, or to prove their age on the baseball diamond. Others arrived barely in time to sip a few while the steak was grilling and the corn stewing.

As in years past, the group was treated to a visit by two of Hanover’s most distin- guished citizens Lew Stilwell and Herb West ’22. After everyone had had their fill of steak (some had three or four) our Hanover guests treated the group to a few words of wisdom in front of a Dartmouth- sized bonfire. Also setting the stage for the fall activities was Ed Boies ’63 with a run- down on how the Big Green will win the Ivy League. And, judging from the size of the freshmen in attendance, the Indians should be on top for some time to come.

Cortland Horr ’lB was the oldest alumnus in attendance and the only representative of the pre-1920 classes. The class of 1926, however, turned out four representatives in A 1 Loner, Henry Parker, Clark Weymouth and Warren Fellingham. The classes of 1950 and 1953 took the attendance cup with six representatives each, followed closely by 1940 and 1956 with five each.

Despite all the summer vacations the reg- ular Monday luncheons at the Real Estate Board have been very well attended. In fact, it appears that there may be a drive afoot to show up some of the long-standing regulars. For two weeks running all in at- tendance were of more recent vintage than 1950.
