October produced extremely delightful weekends weather-wise, and - for our varsity football team - scorewise. (Enrollment workers please note that the Green didn't fare so well in some other sports; in fact, those of us attending the Brown game had to be wholly satisfied with how our boys handled the pigskin, for the Bruins PA system monotonously recited a lengthy list of Brown victories in other events - including rugby. At the same time Red Gowen's forces were doing a commendable job of providing an interesting and statistically close game against Coach Blackman's troops, despite the score which indicated the Big Green was cruising up and down the field almost at will.)
Speaking of enrollment, there are numerous '50s who are very active in enrollment and its allied field of interviewing, and we all appreciate their efforts. It's a very satisfying job to work with secondary school youth on their college aspirations, and now that interviewing season is under way many more alumni could be helpful in these processes. A very complete roster was recently issued by the Dartmouth Club of Philadelphia, which reveals that Stew Young is on the Enrollment Advisory Committee, while Charlie Lake is enrollment chairman of Upper Montgomery County and Tom Ringe is interviewing chairman for the private schools in Delaware County, namely Valley Forge and Episcopal Academies. Also, BillWest, Roger Hillas and Charlie Lake are doing interviewing work in their own localities.
Reverting to football weekends for a bit, Frank Harrington, Sandy McCulloch, JackElliott, and Bob Kilmarx were among those attending the Brown game. Bob has joined Sandy, Jack and John Norton as a resident of Barrington, R. I.; his new domicile in that town is 56 Elm Lane.
A substantial turnout of '50s contributed to the sell-out crowd of nearly 40,000 at Harvard Stadium the following Saturday. Among those who marvelled at the fancy stepping of Gene Ryzewicz were Harry Hall, Fizz Nichols, Jim Moore and Andy Wilde. Others in the stands included Sherm Badger, Skip Fauver, Gordon Pinkham and Bruce Parker. Out-of-staters included BenShaver, who trekked up from Middletown, N. J. for the weekend, Paul Canada from New Canaan, Conn., John DeGraff from Albany and Hammy Gates from Lewiston, N. Y. Unfortunately, Harvard groups now take up all the public gathering spaces on campus, so we were unable to have the usual class gathering at the Business School after the game. However, among those who accepted the invitation of the Dartmouth Club at Harvard to join their gathering in Briggs Cage after the game were HowieWeston and Pete Reilly. If any of you have ideas as to a suitable replacement location for post-Harvard game class gatherings in the future, please let them be known; some classes journey to a Harvard Square area hotel, but this of course involves some transportation problems.
Since the tensions have barely died down from the Yale game at this writing and my intelligence experts haven't as yet reported on that affair, I can only speculate that Gene Ulrich was among the many who sweated through the first three periods and then were rewarded by a great come-from- behind effort by the hitherto out-classed Indians. My own blood-pressure got high enough just listening to it on the radio. Incidentally, you Boston-area folks should consider traveling to New Haven another year on the bus(ses) chartered by the Charles River Dartmouth Club ... it reportedly is quite an event in itself!
Speaking of Dartmouth Clubs, the 1965 roster of Alumni Associations and Clubs produces the names of several classmates who are presidents or secretaries. GerrySarno is the prexy of the Dartmouth Society of Engineers, and Phil See holds the top spot in the Tuck School Association of Boston. 1950 dominates the Dartmouth Club of Central Connecticut this year, with Harrison Bristoll as president and Dr. DonRussell as secretary of this New Britain based activity. In Des Moines, Miles Mills is the scribe of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of lowa. John Wolf heads the Dartmouth Club of Baltimore, while BobBurrill handles the paperwork for the Cape Cod Club. Jim Vail wields the gavel for the Dartmouth Club of Charlotte, N. C., as does Tom Sours out in Columbus for the Central Ohio group. Still others in the top spot this year are Bernard McPhillips for the alumni of Oregon, in Portland, and KenClark of the Memphis Club. Cal Bauer heads the slate of the Dartmouth Club of Dallas and Bob McConaughy is the scribe of the Dartmouth Club of Utah. Congratulations and best wishes to all of you.
Some "Rattle-Prattle" was promised in an earlier issue, and here are two new arrivals. Pamela Tewksbury Holmes was born on July 12, 1965 to Peter and Betsy Holmes of Gates Mills, Ohio, bringing their roster to four offspring; the others are the twins, Carl and Elisabeth (8/21/54) and Susan (4/30/59). Jim and Betty Moore of Weston, Mass., checked in their second daughter and fourth child with the arrival of Sandra Kaye on September 23, 1965. Come on you other diaper-pinning dads, let the wife have the midnight duty for once and get those announcements in, or at least have someone in the family pass the word along to us.
