NEIL DANBERG, a senior from Omaha, Neb., this year led the Dartmouth -Forensic Union to its most successful record since 1963. The two-man team of Danberg and sophomore Tom Brewer placed fifth in the recent Nationals at West Point, the highest Dartmouth finish since it won the title three years ago. Danberg, a pre-law student enrolled in the Marine PLC program, credits Prof. Herb James with building Dartmouth into one of the top debate schools in the nation. Neil won first speaker honors at Emory University this year, and has traveled to California, Kansas, Indiana, and Georgia in recent months for the Union. A history honors major, he was in Green Key and is a brother of Delta Upsilon.
For the next two years seniors GARY JEFFERSON (left) and JEFF AMORY will be teaching Chinese students in Hong Kong while they, themselves, learn a new culture and a new language. Both have been selected as Dartmouth Project Asia fellows and will travel to Chung Chi College this summer on the College-supported program. Jefferson, from Winchester, Mass., is a history major, captain of the squash team, a brother of Psi U, and a member of the UGC-Judiciary Committee. Amory, a '65 from Brookfield, Conn., spent a year teaching in Greece, is an English major, a past chairman of Cutter Hall and was an ABC resident-tutor in 1965. The two are neighbors in C & G.
RICHARD W. CLAPP, a tall junior from Lewiston, Maine, has spent three years serving the College in an attempt to "make the most out of Dartmouth." An IDC dorm chairman, president of the Green Key Society, rush chairman of SAE and a member of C & G, he is on the Tucker Council and recently chaired the UGC Evaluation Committee. After another spring of defensive play for the lacrosse team, Dick will begin his second summer as an ABC resident-tutor.
"When I first saw Tony, he didn't look like a football player to me... he had a faraway intellectual gaze," recalls Coach Bob Blackman. But the coach's opinion of senior ANTHONY MARTIN YEZER changed radically, and Tony became one of the finest and most honored guards in Dartmouth football history, being named to the All-Ivy, All-New England, and All-East teams. Coach Blackman was partially correct, however, for Yezer, a chemistry major, has compiled a Dean's List average for four years, was a Rhodes Scholarship finalist from Washington, D. C., and won an NCAA grant of $1000 which he will apply to a year of graduate study at the London School of Economics.
"There is a definite disadvantage involved in attending Tuck in your senior year," says GARY BRYSON '66 from Longview, Wash, (shown with his wife Karen), "but the saving of the year of time is more than worth the sacrifice. There is a unique opportunity at Dartmouth to obtain a Master's in five years. It's about the best deal in the country." A Phi Beta Kappa, Gary is Vice-President of Omicron Delta Epsilon (economic honors society), in Sphinx, a brother of SAE and former baseball pitcher and Green Key representative. Marriage? "No difficulty at all. It's more plus than minus."
DANIEL G. DOMJAN, freshman from River Edge, N. J., is a gifted violinist and has the distinction of being Concert Master of the Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra. He became interested in Dartmouth through the summer music program conducted jointly by the College and the Juilliard School of Music, where he studied for eight years in addition to attending public school. He is the son of Joseph Domjan, the artist, whose woodcuts are prized in art collections throughout the world. Dan is taking a premedical course at Dartmouth, is active in Collegium Musicum as well as the symphony orchestra, and works part-time as student art curator.
"Despite common belief, there is renewed interest in the Outing Club," reports DOC President STEPHEN LANFER '66. "As skiing grows the club widens its scope of activities. We're bigger than ever." A senior from Old Greenwich, Conn., Steve is also president of the Carcajou Ski Club and a ski school instructor. He spent the fall term of his junior year in Germany and will apply his language and economics training to the study of world trade in Vienna next year.
"I was born in Long Island," states the Latin-looking senior. "This accent? It is nothing. Everyone in Paraguay speaks English like this." The Dartmouth humor has rubbed off on quick-witted, personable VICTOR GARCIA, born in Long Island, Paraguay. Co-chairman of the Cosmopolitan Club, a brother of Phi Psi, a varsity soccer letter-winner for three years, and a Cutter Hall resident, Vic "had trouble at the beginning, mainly with the language," but thinks "the whole atmosphere here is a pleas- ure for a foreigner." An economics major, he will return to Asuncion, his capital and home, and work in an American bank.
