The Pioneer Valley Dartmouth Club was host to two Dartmouth meetings at the Yankee Pedlar on December 3. First a Work Shop in the afternoon with Assistant Secretary David Orr '57 leading a discussion of ideas for strengthening Alumni Clubs. Participating from Springfield were William Mazeine '61, R. Nelson Jones '55, Theodore Ely '55, Michael Miller, Dr. Kenneth Nicholson '45, and from Pioneer Valley, Lou Oldershaw '39, Dr. John McHugh '58, Bill Craven '53, Henry Bagg '39, Ken Cuddeback '28, Andy Schmidt '36, Bert Kent '10, Hal Clark '22.

Time out to welcome many more members and their wives, then a fine dinner followed by a most interesting talk by George H. Colton '35, vice president of the college: balancing the budget, student activism, curriculum changes, a summer term, co-education, etc. The interest was keen, and Mr. Colton's answers to the questions which followed most helpful. It was good to be brought up-to-date.
