Eastern New York

It is becoming more and more difficult to keep track of all the goings on with the Dartmouth Club of Eastern New York. After a successful fourth Annual Picnic held in July at the "farm" of outgoing Club President Dr. Lyon M. Greenberg'54, a new administration came into office to lead the Club through its 64th. year. Sweeping in on a landslide (there was no opposition) for a two-year term were: Kenneth W. Soule '49 as president, Lawrence H. Goltz '63 as vice president, and new executive committee members W. Lawson BattyJr. '50, William Cutcliffe '58, and J. Wesley Wood'28. Incumbents continuing for another term were executive committee members Milton Alpert '32 and Frank Palmer Jr. '63 while as past president Lyon Greenberg assumes an ex officio executive committee post. Bob Longabaugh '53 was given the opportunity to look after the paperwork and finances for two more years.

Added to the usual fall program of monthly luncheons with John Brandow '57 in charge and the traditional Cornell-Dartmouth football dinner was a new event: the local Yale alumni club went "halfsy" with the D club on chartering a bus to the Yale football game. Although the results in the Bowl weren't to the Green's liking, all aboard at the conclusion of the trip were in agreement that the total experience was very worthwhile. Look for this one to be repeated—the bus trip that is, not the game score!

Far and away the largest success of the Club season so far was the second Student-Father luncheon in December. Eleven undergraduates (including two of the new coed model) were guests of the Club and in company with their fathers heard a description of the job placement program now getting underway under Larry Goltz' chairmanship.

Also in the running for entertaining and service honors is Dr. Seward MacDonald '43, Club Enrollment Liaison Officer. Seward had a houseful of prospective Big Greeners in during one of the snowiest evenings in December to hear Jay Evans '49, Assistant Director of Admissions, give them the pitch on why Dartmouth should be their first choice.
