Denver

Not much happened this past month if a poll of the alumni luncheon participants is a representative sample. A tearful appeal for news was unsuccessful so we then proceeded to the message of our speaker for the day, Bob Gebhardt '58. Bob is manager of the new Indianhead Ski area 60 miles from Denver; he informed the assemblage of its past, present, and potential as a recreational development. Reduced tow rates were offered Dartmouth Alumni and friends in this region, which, in these days of Parkinson's Law, is a splendid gesture.

Mr. Tom Curtis '32, trustee of the College and Republican Congressman from Missouri, was a brief but nonetheless honored guest, accompanied by his brother, Bill Curtis '36. Mr. Curtis was in Denver to address a midwinter conclave of physicians on "Private Medicine - the Key to the Future."

The enrollment effort gathers steam as the interviewers swing into action and in evidence at the luncheon were Mr. Strain and Mr. Gardner, counselors of students at Denver's Manual High School.

The plans for the Annual Meeting on Saturday, March 17, are now well jelled. 45 or 50 alumni have responded favorably to the prospect of participating in the enrollment meeting seminars held before the dinner. Subjects to be discussed will be pertinent and perplexing: how valid are Board Scores; what type student does the College want; what are the proper manners and means of selecting students? - and so on. Come and join the thinkers!

Local grease paint enthusiasts were pleased to witness Steve Bradley '39 and his wife on the stage of the Civic Theatre recently bring Boulder talent to Denver for the run of the play. Also in town was Stanton Waterman '56 who gave a beautifully illustrated lecture on underwater sports and recreation to an envious assemblage of partially frozen Denverites. It's been cold here lately - invigorating, though.
