1974
Now that the North Country is tingling with weather below zero, it is fortunate that news still comes in from many of us. There is a lot of news that was left for this issue from months gone by, so they take precedence. From balmy University of Virginia writes Greg Pulis of the Dartmouth-Hollins "frolic" on their campus, featuring Hollins President Carroll Brewster and his wife. Rekindling school spirit there, our former Dean very much enjoys his promotion; his exuberance brought song, cheers, and the friendly atmosphere we all remember well. This event along with the Second Annual Pulis Beer Can Collector's Meeting - Greg writes that a unique "brew called Ivy League beer with green can made in Philly (40,000 cases)" was made for a contractor who died before delivery (place orders with Ortlieb's) - made the Harvard weekend away from Cambridge quite bearable. Seen at the festivities were Bill Mayer '73, TomHelfrich '73, Tom Eggleston, Pat Stone, ReedMoran, Mike Terry, Steve Whiting, VanessaPatrick (Mt. Holyoke '75, exchange '74), ChuckHigdon '73, Lex Chalko and Bill Hansen.
Leafing through the file we find a news release on Mitch Friedman, whose prints and drawings were on display at the Hop in Upper Jewett Corridor. Mitch spent the summer at the Skowhegan School of Printing and Sculpture in Maine and received the Heiman and Ames Art Awards in 1974.
A letter from John A. Gustafson '48 reveals that his son, Walter Gustafson, was commissioned on June 27, 1975 at the U.S. Navy Base in Newport, R.I.; Walter was eighth in a class of 156, graduating with distinction and has been assigned to destroyer duty out of Portland, Oregon. (See picture in the '48 column).
From Washington, D.C., is news from DavidHarkcom, now a law student at Georgetown University: Dave worked this past summer as a teller at the First National Bank of Washington, D.C., as a credit interviewer at a D.C. furniture store, then as a teller in Rock Island, Ill. Concluding that business is less than worth it, he is now "calm and industrious" back at school, enjoying Sam Dash as an excellent professor of criminal law.
Commended is the mother of Tom Harrison who writes that he graduated this past August cum laude, a mathematics major, after taking a year's leave to work at Kiewit and on Long Island at Grumman Aircraft in computer services. On October 25 he married Karn Hammelman, a graduate of Gonzaga University, from Milwaukie, Ore. Tom and his wife have plans to live in Oregon. Splashed all over the headlines of The Dartmouth was JackThomas who "likes it as Dean" and is "on the inside now." Contacted along with 120 other alumni, Jack was offered the position of Assistant Dean last summer as counselor to students scheduled to appear before CCSC, member of the Inter-Fraternity Council, and organizer of law school applications. Jack was also involved with the Great Frat Race in November, sponsored by the ITC to raise money for the renovation of the pediatric playroom at Hitchcock Hospital; the race consisted of ten legs of a race, including elephant-walking, piggy-backing, wheelbarrowing, etc., and was the first such recent occasion for which students were sponsored by local merchants for charity (See The Dartmouth: October 22, November 10, 1975).
Feeling the monetary pinch at Boston University Law School yet able to send his contribution is Jim Blakey, doing so under the stipulations that he get a beer at the fall mini-reunion and that the Magazine get to him before 2001. We promise to work on that, Jim. Working as a salesman for Bethlehem Steel and "enjoying himself thoroughly" is Jim Hillas, now residing in Bethlehem. Jim Lay is now working on the conversion of The New York Times into martinis via acid hydrolysis at the Thayer School of Engineering. In a combined program with the Medical School, and Tuck School, Jim hopes to make quite a splash in financial circles. Jean Nelson takes to being a second-year student at the University of Albany Law School a lot better than first-year status. He greets everyone for Bill Newcomb and Jan Rabinowitz, also. A VISTA Volunteer, working until Christmas 1975 as a paralegal for New Hampshire Legal Assistance in Keene, is Jim Noucas, now in Colorado for the winter and spring. He is applying to law schools for fall '76 and expects that this way Dartmouth will really get into a "Paper Chase."
From the Philadelphia area writes Miguel Pulido that he runs a unit for the mentally retarded and keeps extremely busy but enjoys the work very much. James Regan sends word that he is in his second and final year of a Masters program at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, D.C., while in his spare time he runs members of the U.S. House of Representatives up and down the elevator on Capitol Hill. Thaddeus Sando started his first year at the University of New Mexico Law School and sends word that George Hannett '75 is a first-year student there, also.
On the topic of marriages, news just hot off of the presses of The New York Times (January 11) is that Jocelyn (Jill) Shaw '77 has become engaged to Richard Griswold Woolworth Jr., to be wed in September. Jill has just transferred to Stanford; Rick is at the Stanford School of Business. Congratulations to you both! Also in the news (same issue) is Susan Carol Berndt's engagement to Daniel Patrick Maloney, of Rye, N.Y., and a graduate of Boston College. They will be married May 22. Sue is an associate with the New York real estate consulting firm of James D. Landauer Associates; her fiance is a member of the New York Stock Exchange.
Continue in all your madnesses as another Winter Carnival takes our successors through icy Hanover winters. Remember that the news you read may be your own!
