1964

Fellow classmates, the following remarks are the result of a burst of intestinal fortitude in- spired by the letter (in the September issue) of our fellow classmate, John Tavela. If my en- suing remarks prove valuable to the solution of the Dartmouth symbol issue, and my name becomes indelibly written in the history of Dart- mouth College, let it be known by all that John Tavela provided me with the courage to stand up and be counted.

Believe me, I thought the issue would die down or be settled by now. But apparently as the Christians have their cross and the Jews have their star, we at Dartmouth need our sign our symbol. Upon hearing my two suggestions, you will immediately realize that I approached the issue intellectually (and poetically) and that the results are both logical and euphonious. Both symbols lend themselves to literary and artistic elaboration. Also upon hearing these two suggestions, your immediate reactions will be, "How obvious," "How appropriate," "How profound," "Hail to our secretary."

My first suggestion is the Mouths. This sym- bol is inspired by both mine, my wife's, and (from all the letters to the editor) the mouths of my fellow alumni. Are we not the most lo- quacious, most gregarious, most grandiloquent, and most articulate of all our fellow Ivy Leaguers. What other alumni group puts their money where their mouths are more than our alumni? How poetic to be called the Dartmouth Mouths.

My second suggestion, equally as poetic and alliterative (is there such a word?) is the Moths. Like the flying moth, are we not one of the most motivated, excited, and lively alumni groups? Do not other Ivy schools envy us for our enthusiasm and zest for living nurtured by our experience on the Hanover Plain? For the world knows that where there are Moths there are Moth Balls. Let the stadium echo with refrains for the Dartmoth Moths.

My fellow classmates, send me your vote for one of the two above-mentioned symbols so your secretary can commit all his energy to helping the College settle this profound issue. Now for the news:

Larry Muroff of Tampa, Fla., has been selected for fellowship in the American College of Radiology (A.C.R.) in honor of his mam moth (notice how moth lends itself to appropriate use for gargantuan feats) contributions to the medical profession. Larry received his award during the annual meeting of the A.C.R. in Las Vegas in September. The A.C.R. is the professional medical society representing 18,000 physicians who specialize in the use of radiation and ultrasound to diagnose and treat human dis- eases. He is affiliated with University Com- munity, Women's, Centro Asturiano, and the Hillsborough Hospitals in Tampa.

John Potter has been named office managing partner of the Hartford, Conn., office of Arthur Young and Company. John has been with the in- ternational public accounting firm since 1965. He was admitted to the partnership in 1977 while in the firm's Stamford, Conn., office and transferred to Hartford in 1977. In Stamford, he was the office director of taxes.

Woody Woodruff was kind enough to send me a note after being prodded by FredRothenberg, a died-in-the-heart Dartmouth Mouth. He has moved from St. Petersburg to Seabrook, Md., where he is the managing editor of the Publisher's Auxiliary, a biweekly newspaper service tabloid owned by the National Newspaper Association. Woody is still un- married and loves the suburban Maryland lifestyle.

Bobby and Margo Freeman wrote that they are the proud father and mother (again we see how appropriate the symbol becomes) of Edward Vaughan, better known as Ned. The Freemans have one more Dartmouth Mouth to feed and to insure the lineal tradition of Dartmouth Mouths. Well that's it for this mouth er, I mean month. I'll see all you mouthers I mean mothers next moth.
