PRINCETON WEEKEND PARTY AT DEXTER'S AND HANOVER OCTOBER 13-14

New Hampshire weather, one of the prophets observed some time back, is "four months of winter, two months of summer, and the rest damn late in the fall." Since summer 1972 was described by comtemporary sages as a month late, we are told we may expect unusually appealing autumn days as the year begins its ever-steeper descent into December. These meteorological considerations come to mind as we enter upon another College opening and anticipate a rousing gathering of classmates over the weekend of the Princeton game.

A number of men and their wives will be staying at Dexter's Inn, at Sunapee, N. H., on Friday and Saturday evenings, October 13-14, the latter including a dinner and dance party. Commuters are invited to join the fun, as well as a picnic lunch in Hanover (near or in Leverone, depending on weather) before the game. Class President Ed McMillan has called a meeting of the Executive Committee at Dexter's Saturday morning (committee members are listed below), to discuss new objectives, some of which are covered elsewhere in this report. Frank and ShirleySimpson, innkeepers, showed all a banner time a year ago and emphasize that those who cannot stay are welcome to drop in Friday evening and for the Saturday fun (info: 603-763-5571).

Space limits precluded summaries of some Reunion developments in the last report; herewith an update. Nearly 50 men and women took part in the class golf tournaments, whose chairman was BillClark, assisted by George Guest, SnuffySmith and Ed Acker. Ken Kenworthy won the low gross in Calloway play (and took second, with a 71 net score, in the overall College tournament), followed by Clark and Art Stevens. Harry Maxwell won the low net; Bed Higgins was second, Miggie Kenworthy won the ladies' low gross, with Barbara Young second; FranSmith and Marie Cashel were 1-2 in the ladies' low net. (The usual hoots and groans punctuated the award of prizes; nearly a clean sweep for Philadelphia.)

Some 28 classmates and wives took part in the tennis tourney. Buzz and Janet Willis won the mixed doubles, defeating Lucy and deponent; Buzz and I took the men's doubles after a marathon match with A. K. Speare and Bill Hammond. There were so many protracted doubles matches that singles play was not completed and the finalists, Bob Rainie and Speare, were accorded the unique distinction of being declared singles co-champions.

The Executive Committee named by the Nominating Committee and elected at a class meeting at Reunion has Bruce Brown, Dr. William Clark, Ed Larner, Frank Simpson, Tom Willers, Jack Bates, Bob Harvey, Bruce Friedlich, Dick Hill, Frank Hall, Bob Thomas, Bud Hart, Harris Richardson, Snuffy Smith, Gotch Gotshall, Bob Nissen, Lou Johnstone, Stace Hill and, for the first time, a lady, Barbara Young Mrs. (Mrs. Louis A., Jr.). Dick Hill was Nominating Committee chairman but at a late hour with Polly had to miss the Reunion in favor of a trip to Tokyo as a member of the President's Advisory Council on U. S.-Japanese Economic Relations.

At that class meeting retiring President Bruce Friedlich outlined a proposed continuing project, which would have classmates coming to Hanover in small contingents to meet with juniors and perhaps some sophomores to talk about careers in free-swinging, informal discussions. This to get away from the usual canned corporate material; perhaps some internships would be a by-product. Professional men as well as those from the business community would take part. The idea is unique in the invariably vexing field of career choice, and the College has sparked to it.

Pete and Jacqueline Jacobsen reported that they, like Bob and Joan Frondorf, have three Dartmouth sons: David '69; Kenneth '71, and Garry '75. Tim andMarilyn Takaro's son Tom '72, won the McDonald Smith Music Prize at the June commencement in Hanover. Pete Broberg '71, the major league pitcher, returned to Hanover to be awarded his A.B. degree this June, with parents Gus and StewartBroberg: on hand.

Ed McMillan, formerly a senior vice president at Merrill, Lynch, took graduate courses as he outlined in our Changing Careers Reunion discussion, and was recently named executive director of the Mass. Economic Education Council at Tufts University's Lincoln Filene Center. Paul Badger has also turned to education, after an Army career, teaching and assisting in admissions at Concord College, Manchester, N. H. And Warner Bishop reports the youngest '41 baby, Brooks Osborn Bishop (8/25/70); a grandfather, two uncles and two cousins are also alumni.

That's my news . . . write, gentlemen, write!
