Bergen County

As we start our fifth season as an organized Club we have great expectations for the year, both here in Bergen County and in Hanover. We have received various assuring reports that the Big Green Team from Hanover will contribute to our conviviality with another very fine season on the gridiron, our own membership drive is moving forward in high gear, and our program committee has come up with an outstanding offering of activities to keep us working together and getting together in Dartmouth fellowship.

Dartmouth Night, the traditional gathering time for Dartmouth men across the world to renew friendships and unite in the Dartmouth spirit, will again be celebrated by our Club. We are expanding the festivities this year to include a dinner, with wives and guests, at the Suburban Restaurant in Paramus. As much as all of us would like to spend this evening around the bonfire in Hanover, complete with the football band and the pep rally, we realize this is impossible. So our program committee has arranged the next best thing, bringing Professor AIFoley '20 - as much Dartmouth's as Dartmouth is of him — as our after-dinner speaker. Professor Foley's sharp wit, classically blended with New England humor, has for years been part of his teaching institution. This date should be circled on your calendar. It's as essential a part of our Club's history as "Cowboys and Indians" (the old History 64) in the education of a Dartmouth man.

Our membership drive is moving along well under the expert leadership of HankGrebe '54. We hope to top last year's figures and, in so doing, garner additional support for our Scholarship Program. Incidentally, our Club meets the requirements of a tax exempt organization and, accordingly, all dues and contributions are tax deductible to members.

The balance of our major activities for the season include a chartered bus to the Yale game in New Haven, the Dartmouth-Princeton Smoker, for which we are hosts this year, a giant cocktail party during the late winter and our Annual Spring Dance, scheduled for late spring.
