1969

A new year and an old column. Like the bonfire, beanies, and parietals, the traditional practice of class notes is also dying a slow death.

Mike Groden is a first-year Princetonian studying English literature. Double his social unit with the addition of the former Sally McVaugh (Mt. Holyoke '70) on August 16. Lyle Nyberg, Dale Christensen, and the Reverend Don White were in attendance. Mike myopicized his way to a 1-Y deferrment and he and Sally are "pleasantly settled in beautiful, affluent, and outrageously expensive Nassau Country."

John 'Spook' Talmadge graduated No 1 in his basic training class at Ft. Dix and is now a budding Slavophile, studying Russian at the Army's Monterrey Language School. Other "hard-core" elements are also at large. Dick Jordan finished his first year of Anthropology at Univ. of Minn, headed for a Ph. D. He and Hobie Collins joined Prof. McKennan's archaeological crew in Alaska this summer. Hobie has been seen travelling extensively around the East Coast.

Lt. j.g's George Cooke and John Myers are co-founders and co-members of the Dartmouth Club of Naples, Italy. They find themselves "indulging in the usual neocolonialist mission of patroling the Med." Their nostalgia for Hanover and the Dartmouth Way is being assuaged by "the local brew, 'Biera Peroni,' which is almost as cheap and plentiful as the women." Tough duty!

Rick Thompson is at the Univ. of Illinois Med School in Champaign-Urbana. Lyle (see first paragraph) Nybergr is at Boston University Law School, and Rich Oliver and Peter Kohn are at Boston College Law. Yours truly is also in the Boston area (Lynn) where I recruit collegiately (collegiately recruit?) for the General Electric Co. and am engaged in Social Awareness curriculum development and a general applied anthropology bag.

Undergraduate prexy Bruce English and Bob Gunst are both in the universal management training program at the First National Bank of Chicago. The Englishes boast a Columbus Day happening in the form of 8 lbs. 4 oz., Jennifer Lynn. Bruce is wrapping up course work for his M.B.A. from the Univ. of Chicago B School.

Attention Affluent Classmates! "The First Annual Dartmouth Alumni Ski weekend is taking place in Hanover on March 6 & 7, 1971. We are offering a complete package for lodging at the Hanover Inn on Friday and Saturday nights, dinner both nights and two days of skiing at the Skiway, for the all-inclusive price of $80. There will also be races, evening programs, and a generally convivial atmosphere!"
