1960

Now the warm breezes and soft evenings of spring are very near, and for the unmarried men of '60, this, can only mean further devastating inroads into their ranks. Alas, in anticipation of their fall, let us clear the slate up to now as best we can.

In October of 1962, Bill Hines and Jean Hartnett were married in their hometown, Hingham, Mass. Bill had returned only recently from 18 months in the Far East as an Army lieutenant. Dave Petrie. Joel Black, Roger Morris, all roommates of Bill at Dartmouth and ushers at the wedding, agreed that although they were hard to beat as roommates, Bill's new pal would make that "living with the guys" stuff really for the birds.

Over the Christmas holidays, the Hanover Plain was brightened with the wedding of Ryan Ostebo and Gretchen Funkhouser. Ryan and Gretchen have ideas of a future residence somewhere between Australia and Formosa, but for now have to settle with head: "These demands for more quantity and Camp Lejeune, N. C., while Ryan completes his term with the Military.

Tom Stone and Sarah Fearnside were married over the holidays in Wellesley, Mass. Tom is doing graduate work at Cornell, where Sarah is finishing her senior undergraduate year. Jim French, who is winding up his .medical degree at the University of Michigan Medical School, was Tom's best man.

Another of our classmates was married only recently and has started out his marriage in ruins. Steve Lattimore and Sherry Marker were married on February 9 in Detroit and left on the following day for an archaeological excavation at Morgantina in Sicily. The year after our graduation, Steve spent a year at the American School for Classical Studies in Athens, and the following year, he enrolled as a graduate student in archaeology at Princeton. The trip to Sicily is in connection with his Princeton studies.

There are probably many who remember that gruesome quartet of roommates, Don Bayles, Chris McClellan, John Milligan and Tom Van Winkle. Don and his wife, Jean, are in Birmingham, Ala., where Don is completing his senior year of medicine at the Medical College of Alabama. In June, the Bayleses will be heading for Mobile, where Don plans to intern. Chris is married and is busily repossessing furniture from helpless widows in San Francisco. John - also married now - completed two years of medicine at Stanford, but this year he yielded to his heart and entered the graduate school of biochemistry at the University of California at Berkeley. The only one of the four still unscathed by matrimony is Tom, who is finishing his law degree at Stanford this year.

A good letter from Don and HarrietWeitzman indicates that Columbia Law School is none the worse from our classmates there. Don's "beloved" presented him with a son on Christmas Day of 1962, and that's not bad timing, gift-wise. Dave Hambleton, Nat Gorton, Chuck Brower, Russ Brooks and Jon Halvorsen are in the Law School at Columbia as well. Joe Mandel is at Yale Law School, and after three years he's still a heeler to the manager of the Bulldog basketball team. Apparently, Eli feels that Joe has had difficulty adjusting his loyalties to a new ball club, and what with Joe sitting on the Dartmouth" bench at the Dartmouth-Yale game, there is good cause for wonder, I suppose.

Dave Farns worth is teaching history and geography and coaching varsity basketball at a brand new public high school near Rochester, N. Y. After a winning season last year, in his first year as varsity coach, Scoops was quite a late holdout in signing this year's contract. Says Scoops' department head: "These demands for more quantity and flavors of ice cream for the training table are virtually unheard of in our school system." Another hooper from the ranks of '60, Bryant Barnes, is buying stocks and bonds for a firm in Kansas City. Bryant and Mary Jane Young were married in October of 1961 and are expecting their first sometime this month.

A brief glance here and there, before closing, finds Gerry Huttrer finishing an M.S. degree in geology at the University of Washington in Seattle; Tom Ettinger working close to his true love as sales representative for the Head Ski Company in Weston, Vt.; Don Belcher at Stanford Business School; "Painless" Dick Montgomery at the University of Michigan Dental School; GenePowell studying business administration at Fresno State University of California; and Dave Hull delighted with a home in South Woodstock and commuting to Hanover where he is working at programming and importing motion pictures.

Until again, all the very best.
