1965

By the time you read this Dartmouth will be sailing into its third century under the guidance of a new helmsman, and I don't know that a wiser choice could have been made. Dr. Kemeny's selection was a surprise, though in retrospect it was naive not to include his name in all the speculating that was done about President Dickey's successor. I'm told by those on the scene that the choice of Dr. Kemeny is very popular with the students and the faculty.

On to more parochial news:

Mention was made in one of our recent columns of Dave Weber's job hunting expedition to Exeter in the late fall. He bagged "is prey and will join the English department here in September. That will bring to three the number of '65's on Exeter's faculty, as Herney and Mahoney have succeeded in hoodwinking the administration into reappointments.

Dave Hinsman, a fourth-year med student at the University of Vermont, was married in late December to Miss Mary Louise Warner of Mendon, Vt. Mary is a graduate of Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

Bachelorhood has also lost its hold on Gerry Dericks. He recently married Miss Diane Tietjen in St. Maarten, The Netherands Antilles. He is studying at Columbia Med, while she is the executive secretary to President of International House.

Another '65 wedding is up-coming this summer. George Poland and Miss Nancy Crosby will tie the knot then. He's currently a senior programmer with the Welfare Commission of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Nancy, a Boise, Idaho, resident, will graduate from Russell Sage this spring.

Al Hislop is back in the East after stints abroad and on the West Coast. Part of his foreign stay was spent as an instructor of English at the Institute of Modern Languages in liddah, Saudi Arabia. Most recently he has finished work on an M.A. in linguistics at the University of Rochester, and is now in a doctoral program there. He has also kept up his interest and skill in radio broadcasting. While in Mexico in 1968 he did a 36-hour non-stop program on Robert Kennedy's assassination, broadcasting alternately in Spanish and English, and for this feat he was the subject of a fullpage article in "Tempo," Mexico's equivalent of our Time.

Hanover is still home base for Bob Blean, and thus he has been able to maintain his rank of ace chubber. Last summer's adventures included a stay at the National Outdoor Leadership School in the White Mountains.

Bruce Cassel is continuing his graduate studies at Clark University in Worcester, Mass. He has already received a Ph.D. in chemistry there.

Dan Morley has recently joined the international banking department of the Wall Street firm of Brown Bros., Harriman & Co. He has an M.S. in the economics of underdevelopment from the Univ. of London. He and Nancy are living on East 10th Street in N.Y.C.

The mystique of the Hanover Plain has attracted Russ Rothrock back to Mary Hitchcock for his internship. He did his med school work at Tulane.

I hope that most of you caught PalmerC. D. Wooglin on TV's "The Dating Game." Even though the provocative starlet on the show picked Tiny Tim over Palmer he maintains that it was an exciting time — and a relaxing change of pace from his campaign for commissioner of parks in Etna Corners.

My apologies to the Harris Saxons for having introduced Brooke Saxon as there new son in last month's column. As it turns out "Brooke" is the shortened version of Courtney Brooke Saxon, their daughter born November 26, 1969. The whole family will be heading to the West Coast this summer after Sax latches on to his Harvard law degree. In San Francisco he will be associated with the firm of McCutchen, Doyle, Brown, & Enersen.

The latest word on Paul Kosicki is that he is a systems analyst with General Electric in New York City. He has a bachelor's degree in engineering from Stanford.

Andy Thurm is also in New York with a Columbia MBA in hand. He's with Esso International as a market analyst.

John Raney has run the gamut of career preparation since leaving Dartmouth. Actually he stayed in Hanover long enough to earn an MBA at Tuck, and then moved on to the Law School at the University of lowa. He graduated there last June, and is now with the FBI in Washington, D. C.

The U.S. Public Health Service is benefiting from John Peterson's skills. He graduated from the Univ. of lowa in '64, from lowa Med in '68, and is now doing his residency with the Public Health Service on Mercer Island, Wash.

As we head into the stretch of the Third Century Fund and into the 1970 Alumni Fund drive I hope that you will realize the importance of both of these operations and will give generously to them. TCF and annual giving are vital to Dartmouth's future and to the birth and existence of the exciting new programs and opportunities which seem always to be springing up on the Hanover scene. We should be pleased to be playing such an important role in Dartmouth's tomorrow. If you haven't already, please chip it up generously to the Third Century Fund, and do likewise when a classmate contacts you about the '70 Fund Drive.

Happy spring!
