Green Jottings

The nth annual Woodsmen's Weekend, brainchild of Dartmouth's Ross McKenney, was held on die campus during Green Key weekend. Teams from Dartmouth, Maine, Paul Smith's College, West Point, and Colby competed in a variety of outdoor events including felling, crosscut and buck sawing, chopping, fire building, canoe racing, and canoe portage. When the smoke and dust had settled the Dartmouth woodsmen found themselves in third place behind the Paul Smith "A" and "B" teams. The Paul Smith lads, however, are "professional" woodsmen, as Paul Smith is the state forestry college in New York.

The traditional Wet Down ceremonies in early May produced the usual sports awards, duly presented to some of Dartmouth's fine athletes. Hockey captain Rod Anderson received both The Dartmouth Cup and the Timothy Wright Ellis award. Squash and tennis star Dick Hoehn was presented with the Alfred E. Watson Trophy, while the Big Green's stellar hurler, Art Quirk, won the James Henry Cook Trophy. The Norman Grant Clark Soccer Award went to all-star goalie Randy Malin, while the Alumni Lacrosse Award was given to Ron Wybranowski. Hockey goal tender Dirk Frankenberg received the Robert Earle Mulherne Trophy. These annual awards are always well deserved, but the winners this year were a particularly outstanding group.
