1964

A recent series of events has stimulated my return to print. Not the least of which was a threatening letter from the leader of "The Mag." noting that I was a week late.

Dartmouth College is in the process of recovering from the return of a couple hundred '64's over Houseparties. Those who remember what happened over the weekend report that we beat Columbia 31-14.

I received an innocent-looking, three by five file card the other day which profoundly declared, "National Merit Scholarship 19641965 - Matti Arens." Congratulations, Matti. I've also gotten a news release that Larry Keeler has left for Munich to begin graduate studies at Goethe Institute. But more important, it goes on to mention that his sister Kim is starting as a freshman at Colorado College. All right, you dirty old men out there....

"She is engaged," cries the caption of a picture on my desk. She graduated from Green Mountain and her fiance prepared at Phillips Academy and Dartmouth College. She is ... Miss Lucille MacHardy who is engaged to Dave Kruger. Dave is "serving with the Army." (Sounds ominous.)

To keep the continuity of this column I'll now talk about the next clipping in the pile. It says, "Goldwater loses by biggest margin in history." Wrong one - correction. It says, "Penelope Frizzell married in New Hampshire." Penelope is a graduate of Billings Lee (643-400 ext. 246) and voted for Goldwater. After a wedding trip to Mount Desert Island, Me., she and Pete Wright are now living in Hanover at 178 School St. Pete is a second year student at Dartmouth Medical School. She is working in the obstetric ward at Mary Hitchcock.

In Chappaqua Bill Fitzhugh married Miss Karen Dennison. Bill waited about a week after returning from the Danube expedition in Germany this summer. Dan Dimancescu was an usher. Bill and Karen will live in Key West, Fla., where he will serve as an ensign in the Navy for two years.

If anyone read my first column, he will remember my concern over the fate of Dan Connelly who was last seen hiking from Georgia to Maine. Well, he just got married, but unfortunately, it's the, other Dan Connelly. Dan married Miss Jane Cancalosi in early September. Dan is a garduate student at Newark College of Engineering. But lest we forget the other Dan, we are organizing a search party to leave from the steps of the Hanover Inn at 10:00 P.M., February 6, 1965 (Saturday of Winter Carnival), to scan the northern part of the Appalachian Trail. Let's see a large turnout.

George Roth will be there with his new wife, the former Miss Rosalind Brause. George is now attending Tuck School and, when recently interviewed, said, "I love it."

USC School of Medicine sent me a notice to the effect that we lucky people up here in the North Woods have a student at their school. He is Don Schwartz. I hope that the professors there are better than their PR men.

Dateline: Molly Bellamy, girl social editor, reports that Nancy Kethelsen just became Mrs. John J. Begley. Don Mutterperl was there seeing how it's done. John is attending Cornell Law School this year. Nancy graduated from Colby Junior College last year. Yea, Colby!

Peace Corps: Headline, "Missoulian joins Peace Corps." A Missoulian, in case some of you uncultured '64s didn't know, is a person from Missoula, Mont. Back to our story, it seems that when Howard Soroos was a small boy he was struck by an inner urge to help mankind. Chancing upon a post office last year, he saw a sign saying "Uncle Sam Wants You!" So naturally he joined the Peace Corps. Before leaving for Nigeria his group trained at Columbia University. He is assigned to Nigeria. Good Luck.

Looking around the floor, I found a few things I've forgotten. In September, Chris Palmer married Miss Suzanne Labrecque in Manchester. To continue our florist motif of past columns, she carried a bouquet of white roses, and stephanotis. Chris is doing graduate work at Rutgers University.

On August 15, Bob Engelman went down the long one-way path. He married the former Miss Ronnie Silverman who graduated last year from Illinois. '64s there at the wedding were Bob Engelman (despite a rather devastating bachelors' party), Bob Martin, Brink Merling, Tony Lott, and Lew Eisenberg.

With that crescendo of names, I will close this 1964 volume of Class Notes. The letters have picked up - everyone keeps sending me really good pictures, from Playboy and other highbrow mags, but remember, for a

porn picture to be eligible for publication, it must have a Dartmouth '64 in it.

See you 'round the keg.... Merry Christmas.
