Winter Carnival time has been heralded in on the Hanover Plain by the usual February thaw. The statues are shedding the rain well, however; and word has it that snow will be imported from Antarctica for the ski events. The undergraduates do not seem overly worried – snow really isn't really that big a thing; with three thousand girls on campus, who's looking at the snow-covered Green?
Now that March is rolling around, we feel that it is time to announce the Class of 1964 "First Baby to be Born" contest. What we are rather clumsily trying to say is that to the first baby born to a couple wed after our graduation will be presented a host of honors and prizes. Also, if it is a "he," he will be assured entrance to Dartmouth Class of '86 (I haven't spoken to JSD about this, but I'm sure he won't mind). Perhaps we could even convince the Editor to run a picture. Keep plugging away, Class, and maybe you can be the one to bring honor to your first child.
