1974

The First Annual Summer Activity Contest's First Prize goes to Mark" Haley who, having finished his first year at Stanford Business School, spent the summer "in America's Heartland pushing drugs from a desk in the market research division of Eli Lilly and Company" in Indianapolis, where, he claims, "the corn-fed women bear some checking-out." First Prize is a subscription to The Dartmouth, starting as soon as Mark's fall address is determined!

Current news stretches to May to reveal that Tom Cooney had just finished a year at the University of Michigan Law School (Ann Arbor) and returned to his job in oil pollution control a job he had while taking a year off from academia — entailing the cleaning of oil spills. Tom has really enjoyed law school, believing firmly that it is "not as tough as people say."

In competition for the class baby is the two year-old baby girl of Don and Ginger Reese. However, since Chuck and Cathy Walker's baby girl Megan was born February 17, 1975, this race is indeed close! Don and Ginger are invited to provide the exact date!

The scene in Hanover this spring included Jim Lay who was weighing his interests against those of General Electric, Air Products, Linde Division of Union Carbide, and Polaroid; generally interested in solid wastes disposal, Jim has probably chosen one by now. Also at Thayer last spring was Carter Yates, one of the few in our class to complete his master's degree. At the time his turmoil was over a choice between a doctorate at Thayer or a job in his field of electrical engineering with Hewlett-Packard, also an obviously difficult decision. In the same realm is Mel Biggs, to have completed his M.E. there this summer. More aligned with the material sciences in engineering, Mel has been involved in viscoelasticiy somewhat — a topic assigned to polymeric substances known to exhibit both viscous and elastic behavior (silly putty is the best example but Mel dealt with this material only in the more trying of tribulations).

Returned to the College this past spring for the completion of their degrees were BertHubinger, hoping now to lend his writing abilities to the screen-writing market in Miami (while at Dartmouth he studied with such great mentors as Richard Eberhart '26), and JohnWeyner, now at the Harris Bank in Chicago. Seen in the area was Chuck "Igor" Estin, just having completed a post in research at the New York University Bellevue department of dermatology. Igor starts a Ph.D. this fall at the University of Colorado's department of pharmacology in Denver; his stop in Hanover was to see an Estin cello tradition converted to that of the violin (his brother was performing with the Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra in May).

Other news collected during May included Tom Eggleston's summer job for a law firm in Indianapolis and an informative note from the mother of Harry Butler relating that after an eight-month stint on a 75-foot ketch, he left his group in Australia to explore Indonesia, the beginning of his plan to work his way around the world! Seen in the Sunday New York Times on June 6 was the wedding announcement of Debbie Farrington ('74 Smith and exchange '72-73) and Roy S. Clauss ('74 Amherst), married June 5 and both receiving M.B.A.'s from Harvard last spring. She works in the investment banking division of Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith and he for Salomon Brothers in New York. Debbie will retain her maiden name.

Class Agent Mike Miller sent word from Littleton, Col., that his full-time job as a law clerk-bailiff in Arapahoe County District Court and the completion of his law degree at the University of Denver night school are not enough to keep him off of the ski slopes or out of his carpentry shop, a hobby-business interest. Taking a cruise with the Hub Club in Boston were Blake Winchell '75 and John Low, still both in their respective Price Waterhouse and political campaign workings. Along for the tour of the Charles River basin with a jazz band and beers may have been Brian Follett, who was hoping to return from his teaching mission in the facsimile division of 3M Corporation, and John Bowman, still in his program at Harvard. In Boston helping to sustain the fiscal integrity of Filene's department stores is Peter Brown, serving also as a prospering salesman in the boys' department.

Steve Severson, '74 secretary, and Martha Hennesey '76 are flanked by classmatesat their June wedding. Martha is the daughter of former Tuck dean John Hennesey.
