Stockwell '43; 2nd v-pres. - William B. Squier '40; 3rd v-pres. -Robert F. O'Brien '41; secretary - Richard Barnard '30; asst. sec.- John W. Williamson '42; treasurer - John S. Sullivan'36.

Executive committee, members at large: Ralph B. Fifield Jr. '46, Philip H. See Jr. '50, William H. Gundy '60, Joseph J. Slotnik '58, and Dana E. Hennigar '55.

The 101st annual dinner meeting was brought to order by President Gordon Wentworth '40 and .375 alumni were first treated to songs by the able Injunaires direct in person from Hanover. Treasurer, John Sullivan '36 then told us of our healthy state.

The presentation of the silver cup to the class having the highest percentage in attendance at the dinner was awarded to the class of 1921. It is interesting to note that since the start of this cup in the year 1951 the class of 1923 has won the award seven times. The only other class to have won it more than once was the class of 1922 and that class was a winner on two occasions.

President Wentworth announced we were giving a check to the college of $1200 for the scholarship fund.

We had another treat from Dartmouth with the presence of two very fine undergraduates namely Bill Sjorgren '67, the recipient of our scholarship money in the past two years. He is a football player and a baseball player and has a fine scholastic record of 4.3. He gave a few well chosen words to our interested group. The other young man was Tom Clarke '66, captain-elect of the football team. All who had a chance to meet Tom personally were very pleased the football team would be in such good hands. Tom also gave a fine brief talk.

Another big honor of the evening went to Donald Frederick Sawyer '21 for the alumnus with most outstanding service to the college.

An added treat this year was the talk with slides presented by Dick Durrance '65, ski captain and son of another great skier of the same name. Dick, who was assisted by Chris Knight '65, showed slides of his last summer's trip down the Danube river. All very fascinating to those of us who seldom venture far from New England.

Our meeting closed with a talk from President Dickey, who defended the teacher-scholar concept and stated that today a teacher must continue his own education through research and thus set an example of ongoing learning for his students.

Now, the oldest Dartmouth alumni group in the world starts on her 102nd year under the leadership of President Ez Crowley'41. We hope this annual dinner custom will continue to live and flourish and that next year in 1966 we can have 475 in attendance.
