New York

The past fall was one of the most memorable seasons in the club's history. The club was a beehive of activity: commencing with Dartmouth Night and a direct-wire radio broadcast from Hanover; movies of the Pennsylvania game the Friday following the game; movies of the Harvard game shown the Thursday following the game; the Cornell game on TV at the Clubhouse; and culminated by a reception for Coach Bob Blackman on December 9 following the Lambert Trophy presentation. At this time the dramatic announcement by the coach of his decision to remain on at Hanover was made. The tribute and respect shown by the Dartmouth alumni will never be forgotten by anyone who attended nor by the coach himself. This same evening the films of the Princeton game were shown and narrated by Bob Blackman. The greatest football season in Dartmouth history was concluded by line coach Jack Musick's showing and narrating of the "Football Highlights of 1965."

Sandwiched in between the football events were eight class dinners, a Thayer School dinner, an Alumni Association Management Development Program dinner, a Head Agents luncheon, a Newsletter Editors luncheon, a Dartmouth Club of Columbia cocktail party, an Alumni Council Public Relations Committee meeting, a pre-twenty-fifth reunion dinner Class 1941, and the Annual Christmas Party. To add to this we had the blackout bonanza whereby hundreds of Dartmouth alumni spent the night in the club making their beds on couches, tables, and the floor. In January despite transportation problems caused by the subway strike the club was open every day.

Our next column will bring you up to date, in the meantime, remember when in New York City visit your alumni club.
