1964

Spring is beginning to arrive and with it the mud season. The students are off in Bermuda, muda,Nassau, and Florida and I am still up here writing Class Notes columns and rapidly turning into an Emmit. There was a story recently in the Daily Dartmouth noting the victory of Cambridge over Oxford in basketball, Ron Shram played an important part in the hard-fought contest.

With spring comes the usual onrush of engagements and weddings. Bob Blagden was recently engaged to Miss Carolyn Hunt. She is a senior at Grove City (Pa.) College and Bob is in the Business School at Stanford. Long roadtrips. Dick Carey is engaged to Nancy Maclean according to usually reliable sources (the Portsmouth, N. H. Herald). Dick is now in the Navy stationed on board the "USS Navarro." Miss Sarah Ann Lanier of Welcome, N. C., and Don Warnecke were recently engaged. A September wedding is planned. Don is now at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. Jim Jacobson was engaged to Miss Ann Van Guilder. The wedding is planned for June. Jim is attending graduate school at the University of Utah.

Pross Mellon is going through the training program in the Mellon National Bank and Trust Company. Bill Martin is enrolled in the Army Officer Candidate School. BobMartin was engaged to Miss Patricia Maloney, a graduate of Northern Illinois University. A March wedding is planned. JimLaughlin is going to be married this summer to Miss Patricia Moncrieff of Fanwood, N. J. She is a senior at the University of Michigan and Jim is attending the Law School there.

I got a letter the other day from Howie Seaver. He's been in Vietnam since before Christmas. He writes that he spent a month in Saigon before Uncle Sam decided he was needed in "the field" and he was sent to Pleiku in the Central Highlands. He is a member of the Intelligence Section of the U.S. Advisory team attached to the Vietnamese II Corps. Howie mentions that he saw Jim Stewart in Saigon. He ends his letter, "Well, for any itinerant '64's who happen to be passing through the Central High, lands of Vietnam, let it be known that the welcome mat at the MACV compound at Pleiku will certainly be out."
