1930

Hanover revisited a week after Winter Carnival. All that remained of the center of campus sculpture was a bare telephone pole. But the campus paths were still snow covered, and with minus 15 temperatures, there was that familiar "crunch of feet on snow." It was Freshman Fathers' weekend, .but a few sophomore fathers got into the act. And everywhere there were the familiar 1930 faces. Proudly watching his undefeated (11-0) freshman swimming team beat Yale was Dean Al Dickerson. This team holds 10 Dartmouth and 14 freshman records and should challenge Yale's dual meet supremacy in years to come. Also seen at this and other sporting events were Charlie Widmayer, AlMcGrath, Bud French and Eddie Jeremiah who is planning to retire after the 1967 hockey season, completing an outstanding Dartmouth coaching career which started in 1937. On Sunday to blue Ascutney, that famous Maxfield Parrish subject to the south, whose eastern slopes have been developed into a very attractive ski area, and where Alan showed me what he has learned about skiing and I tried to recover what skill I once had. Hard on the wind at 15 below leaves one breathless, face aching with the cold, yet somehow or other refreshed as by no other sport.

Charlie Rauch reports the 50th anniversary of the Dartmouth Club of New Haven to which he has contributed so much. He and Mildred, were hosts to the Dickeys who were guests of honor. Charlie also notes that they recently visited in New York with John and Ellie French who in April will attend the Bar Association convention in Brussels, then to Vienna where they will pick up a car to drive down the Danube and tour Bulgaria. Fran Horn returned from Saudi Arabia just in time to see U.R.I, clobbered by the UConns and end the season tied for the Yankee Conference basketball championship; then a few days later watch his boys win a playoff game that will take U.R.I, to the NCAA tournament.

Jack Rich has been elected a director of Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company. At the dinner preceding the Dartmouth-Brown hockey game, the Rhode Island Club presented Jerry with a pen and pencil set. Dickand Louise Parker were at the game along with Celie and Bud who have recently built a home in Sakonnet.

If you knew how much I'd like to say in this column and how little there is to say, you would drop me a line.
