1967

It is really hard, for me at least, to believe that we have been away from Dartmouth for two years. And yet, from what I read in the papers, it is clear to me that it is not quite the same college we left two years ago. The student body today is more active and more concerned about what is happening in the world. And I, for one, feel that it is a healthy involvement. Yes, there are "riots" and some violations of the law and these are unfortunate. But these students and their comrades across the country, in pursuit of a larger goal, a more meaning, ful goal - the realization of American ideals.

When I was at the Class Agents meeting at the Hotel Commodore in New York City recently, President Dickey spoke eloquently and in greater depth about these very same thoughts.

Also at the New York City Class Agents meeting, I ran into Ellis Regenbogen. He was taking time out from his studies at Columbia Law School. Ellis has a lot to look forward to in 1970. He will be graduating from the law school and marrying Sally Addlestone (Lasell '68 and Boston Univ.).

Our sources, very mysteriously, inform us that Gregory Audette has been in Vietnam since May, 1968. After serving in a combat intelligence unit and receiving the Bronze Star for meritorious achievement, Greg is now doing top secret work in Saigon.

We recently received another of Julian Miller's brief but informative post cards. He is teaching here in New York City. If any of you plan to be in New York on June 20, you might want to go see the Hunter College Workshop production of "Death Takes A Holiday" which opens on that date. Julian will play the lead role.

June 10 is the date Harlow Chandler and Eva Matthews (Vanderbilt University) have set for their wedding. Both Harlow and his bride-to-be received master's degrees from the University of Virginia.

John vanOrden will be celebrating the end of two years of medical school by marrying Elizabeth Bennett (Bryn Mawr) in August. John is at Albany Medical College while Elizabeth is doing graduate work at Yale University.

Edmund (Chip) Harvey finished his basic combat training on March 13 after eight weeks at Fort Dix, N. J.

In the group finishing at Fort Dix on March 6 was Paul Rothschild who went through the same training as Chip.

Another of our sources sent us news of Tom Wilson who is working as a Peace Corps volunteer in Sierra Leone. Tom is helping to build a rice and fertilizer storage and sales unit for a four-year-old agricultural society in the Kholifa Chiefdom.

By the time you read this, Dave Sclove and his wife, the former Carol Fernbach (Wellesley '68) will be celebrating their first anniversary. Dave is continuing to work on his Ph.D. in organic chemistry at M.I.T.

Second Lieutenant Thomas Groves received his U.S. Air Force pilot wings upon his graduation from training at Reese Air Force Base, Texas. Tom is now assigned to McGuire Air Force Base, N. J., for flying duty with the Military Airlift Command.

A recent communique from the Navy indirectly informed us that William Hayes is a lieutenant, junior grade, in the U.S. Naval Reserve. Bill is an Officer Programs Officer working out of the U.S. Navy Recruiting Station in Albany, N. Y.

Bruce Smith took time out from his studies at Dartmouth Med in March to marry Louise Hagemann (Scripps College). William Robb served as best man for the couple while Earl Mabry and Jim Paull ushered the guests.

On Dec. 3, 1968, Paul Mikus was commissioned a second lieutenant upon completion of training at the Officer Candidate School at the Army Artillery and Missile Center in Fort Sill, Okla.

We hope everyone has a good summer. If you are in New York, please feel free to drop by. And if you cannot come visit us and tell us what you are doing, then, please . . . WRITE!
