1972

November already - time sure does fly when you're having fun. With elections recently over, it should be easy to determine if the electorate has decided to confuse the term "incumbent with the term "incompetent."

As far as incompetence goes, what about your ability to use pen and paper? Again I have almost no information, save for that I've picked up in conversation, and since I'm barely able to talk, you'll have to bear with me. So, last all male class, let's get going and help support the Postal Service: send me news!!!

James McKinney was an exception, as he got a letter to your humble scribe (trite phrase used by all secretaries) informing the Class that he. about to take over the world. Actually, after graduation from Tuck in 1973, Jim joined (note the alliteration) the Navy in hopes of finding the best women that money could buy. What he did find, however, was more school and a job as a nuclear engineer. He has been licensed by the Atomic Energy Commission to supervise operate and maintain a nuclear power plant.

Soon all this expertise will be put to work for Uncle Sam at the Portsmouth, N.H., Nava Base where James will supervise maintenance and overhaul of several of our fleet's nuclear powered submarines.

Mark Shearer, renouncing his Psi bachelorhood, found a girl with enough compassion in her heart and walked the long aisle with the former Leslie Rand (sexist overtone) ths summer in Hanover. They arranged to get married next to Psi U so that Mark could get a couple of games of pinball in before the ceremony. They will reside in Shelburne, Vt.

Pete Meyer, as long as we're talking abc. loss of freedom, also became a husband this summer when he married Pamela Morosky Norwich, Conn. Pam was an exchange stude in Hanover, on leave from Connecticut College, proving once again the merits of ooeducatic

Marty Cain (alias Raise) has also found the girl of his dreams and uttered the "I do that binds. Marty married Kathryn Woodward at the bride's home in Hastings-on-Hudson, N.Y, Marty is a partner in a restaurant and amuse ment gallery in Falls Church, Va.

Despite the kidding, on behalf of the Class, extend best wishes for happiness and understating to Mark, Peter, Marty, and their wives To be fair, however, I must report that when given the choice, the brides' parents unanimously agreed that they weren't gaining sons, they were losing daughters.

In other related wedding events, Dave Engle became the blushing husband of Jan Sexdlsr 73 in Bridgehampton, Long Island. A fairly degenerate crowd attended and rumors flew tout naked bodies being tossed, as they lay 2 Sed out, ir. o swimming pools and about cars being driven into the ocean. Although these reports are unconfirmed, it is true that Bob King (once mistaken for Bill Walton) disappeared into the surf carrying beers in both hands, sining Dartmouth's in Town Again."

Bob Forman and Diana Horton were united (they also got married) in Lynn, Mass., at an affair attended by several '72s. Willie "Mouse" Anderson, after threatening to dance with the groom, informed me that he is now a math instructor at St. Michael's College in Burlington, Vt Willie is satisfied with the job and has decided that Vermont is a pretty nice place to be an opinion with which I am in total agreement. Checking up on Willie, I discovered that he was one of the best-liked instructors in the college, and my source of information (a freshman) also informed me that the entire student body is awaiting the confrontation Between Ed "Too Tali" Jones and Willie "Too Wide" Anderson!

Bob Basset, another guest at the Forman wedding, told me that Syracuse Law has been good to him and that he is contemplating environmental law as his primary job interest. Despite all that one reads of environmental protection activity, there are actually very few jobs in the field, and the jobs available are not very rewarding in a financial sense. It takes a little grit to settle into the field.

The prime attractions at the Forman wedding, Bob and D.A., are now in Hanover where Wally is finishing up at Tuck. Rumor has it that he can still be found under the pong table at Kappa Sig almost any Saturday night, usually with D.A. It's o.k. though because they're married now. Best wishes to this couple as well.

Since forced busing is a rather hot issue in Boston, Ghort has naturally taken sides. Once a week I ride around the town collecting rocks which Ghort proceeds to demolish. He feels that by this action he has done his part to destroy the favorite ammunition of the anti-busing advocates. One anti-busing leader in this town said that the way to integrate schools is to integrate neighborhoods. My problem with that state- ment is twofold. First, if the racism is so strong that these people can't stomach blacks in school with whites, they certainly aren't going to take kindly to blacks on their block. Secondly, if I were a black in this town, I don't think I'd want someone who throws rocks at little children to be my neighbor-. Have a peaceful Thanksgiving - if it weren't for a present-day minority and former majority having compassion for the Pilgrims, we wouldn't have the holiday to celebrate.
