In making his report, Bob gave special thanks to Jim Gilchrist '61, Jack Crowell '52, and Jay Herdel '59 for their hard work as head of the three interviewing committees.

In considering a matter that hasn't come before the Club for many years, it was unanimously voted to provide $50 to pay for a new Dartmouth Ski Cup which is presented at the annual Dartmouth Cup competition for high school ski teams in Oregon. Ron Honeyman '25 was asked to chair a committee to look into the matter of an alumnus participating in the presentation.
