1965

The Class of 1965 picked up its first Oscar in April when "The Sting" produced by Mike and Julia Phillips earned seven of movieland's highest awards, including the biggy. Julia deserves more credit than our classmate, as she discovered the script a couple of years ago and convinced him to pull stakes in New York and to head to the West Coast to attempt to get the story onto the screen. Home for the Phillipses now is Malibu, Calif. The success of the film speaks for itself and their foresight.

Tucky Mays has been promoted to product manager at Chesebrough-Ponds in Greenwich, Conn. He and Chuck Goldthwaite '63 are at the core of a new "Groom & Clean' promotion which will involve many of the nation's top athletes. (Mike Buckley is not included in that group).

Dick Reese and his family are getting ready to move back to Rochester. N.Y., where he will resume his training in Infectious Disease at Strong Memorial Hospital after two years in the U.S. Public Health Service.

Dartmouth's famous Time-Sharing System (DTSS) for computer will be honored by the National Computer Conference and Exposition in Chicaso on May 8. Part of the program that day will feature a panel chaired by John McGeachie, who is director of data processing and director of Project FIND at Dartmouth's Kiewit Computation Center.

Our 10th Reunion Chairman Rich Beams has received a Younger Humanist Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities. He'll spend the 1974-75 school year doing an in- dependent research project on the relationship of opera and literature.

Speaking of the Reunion, Rich has plans well underway for our festivities in June 1975. We'll celebrate our tenth anniversary with '64 and '66. Should be a great time.

John Heavenrich has tied on as an attorney with Arthur G. McKee & Co. in Cleveland after a couple of years with the Legal Aid Society in that city.

Tom Marks is still living in Vancouver and playing viola for the Vancouver Symphony. He expects to be in Red China in the fall when the symphony gives a concert tour as guests of the Chinese.

Ledyard, Conn., is home for Mike Merritt. He's teaching third and fourth graders at Pine Point School in nearby Stonington.

Tom Klepetar has become engaged to Miss Joanne Ehlinger of Albany, N.Y. Tom has his M.D. from Albany Medical College, and is currently a resident in internal medicine at Albany Medical Center. A July wedding is planned.

Reunion activity was only one of the topics the class executive committee discussed at its early March meeting in New York. Class finances, the continuation and expansion of our career counseling project, and the 1974 Alumni Fund took up most of the rest of the agenda. Ted Bracken will have more specific news in his next class newsletter.

Happy days and peace.
