1966

Some things never change, like warm rain during the first week of February (a sure sign of snow in mid-May) and a Carnival ski victory for the Indians. But some things in Hanover are changing direction, like the basketball team in the Ivy standings, the pace of intellectual activity, demonstrated by the Experimental College, and the assumption of social responsibility and conscience in students, faculty, and administration, illustrated by recent restrictions on military and Dow Chemical Company recruiting. Take heart, though, Tanzi's is still alive and well.

Also hale and hearty are the latest flock of sixty-six newlyweds. With Dave Johnston and Dick Alderman watching from the usher corps Alan Rottenberg and Debora Joan Dunn were married in Woonsocket, R. 1., on December 23. Alan is a secondyear student at Harvard Law, while Debora will graduate from Mount Holyoke in June.

Fred Pasternack chose the 23rd to go to marry Susan R. Schoenfeld. Susan is a Queens College junior and Fred is in his second year at New York's Albert Einstein School of Medicine.

Second-year Vanderbilt Law student Joe Barker and Sherry Stovall were married on December 23 in Jackson, Tenn.

Also on the 23rd Tuck School second year man Steve Smith and Jean Ingersoll, a graduate of Pine Manor and Skidmore College, were married in her home town of Winnetka, Ill.

Hingham, Mass., was the site of Lt. (j.g.) Gus Pratt's marriage to Nancy DeRard on December 30. Ushers included Dave Du-Brow, Bill Kruger, and Chris Meyer. After a honeymoon in Canada Gus and Nancy, a Green Mountain College alumna, moved to Norfolk, Va., where Gus is stationed.

Harry Teague was best man at the December 30 wedding of Wells Dow and Margaret Helen Bealke in Duxbury, Mass. Wells is studying at Boston University and Margaret graduated from Colby Junior College.

Scott Cheyne is heading down the aisle soon, but he's not sure just when. After receiving an M.S. degree in communications from Syracuse University in August, Scott was in the September class of the Navy OCS School at Newport, R. I. Over Christmas he and Caryl Christe, a 1966 graduate of Boston University, became engaged, and on February 2 Scott was commissioned an ensign and reported to the battleship "New Jersey" as assistant public affairs officer. Next time the "New Jersey" is back in a home port, Scott and Caryl hope to go to the altar.

Chris Kinum, now a teacher and assistant basketball coach at Orange (N.J.) High School, and Mary Anne Wilkinson, a teacher in the East Orange School System and a graduate of Newark State College, have announced their engagement. An August wedding is planned.

Wells College graduate ('66) and VISTA veteran Janette Elaine Holland and George Emlen, now serving in the Navy, have begun formulating plans for a mid-winter wedding.

Ben Day and home town neighbor Sharon Lee Holt will return to Butler, Pa., on March 30 for their wedding. Ben claims he didn't start dating Sharon until after he graduated from Dartmouth. He's now completing his master's requirements at Thayer School. Sharon, a 1967 graduate of Westminster (Pa.) College, spent the fall at Penn State teaching under a graduate assistantship.

Greg and Donna Eden visited Ben in Hanover over Christmas, and then returned to Virginia Beach, Va., where Lt. j.g. Eden is stationed.

Dan Boyer, returned from a year of study at the University of Munich on a Rotary Fellowship to address a fund-raising Rotarian luncheon in Newtown, Pa. Dibby's buddy in Munich, Josh Grindlay, has returned to study astrophysics here at Harvard.

Still abroad are Don Schwartz, a teaching fellow at Athens College, Howard Dobbs and Steve Hladky, working for graduate degrees at Cambridge, and Rob Trafford, farming and healing with the Peace Corps in Colombia.

Dick Bayles is currently one of a team of more than 250 Peace Corps volunteers serving in Kenya. He completed 14 weeks of training at Teachers College of Columbia University, and was scheduled to assume duties in early January, teaching in Kenya secondary schools under the Ministry of Education. Pre-training in New York involved practice teaching in City schools and studying Swahili and Kenya's history and culture. His current address is c/o Peace Corps Director, American Embassy, Nairobi, Kenya.

As plans for the next batch of degrees or ranks or mergers materialize, let us know, in spite of the higher postal rates.
