1958
Let's start this column by hailing all the '58s who work for the Dartmouth enrollment program. All the interviews, forms, phone calls, and letters take time but can be tremendously rewarding. Without this work, Dartmouth wouldn't be the quality institution in which we all take such pride. Our enrollment program is organized into areas, which are subdivided into districts. Joe Scott is area enrollment director for California — a mind boggling job. He also retains the district directorship for his Long Beach, Calif., area. Steve Rheingold is district director for the Poughkeepsie, N.Y., area. Farther up the way, Fred Turner is district director for the Buffalo, N.Y., area. Much farther west, Wallace Smith is district director for the Boise, Idaho, area. Dozens of other '58s help with recruiting, interiews, and all the rest. More enrollment help is always needed.
An announcement dated January 1, 1982, tells that Phil Ranney has become a named partner in the ten-person law firm of Schneider, Smeltz, Houston & Ranney, 1525 National City Bank Building, Cleveland, Ohio 44114.
One of those who is working hard and is determined to make it through the "Reagan recession" is Paul Stewart, vice president of marketing, Time-Life Books. The Stewart family has children in "high school, grade school, and pre-school" and they also serve as foster parents for Fairfax County. Paul says he is doing a lot of exercise — running in short races, working out in the yard with his son, and skiing. He recently saw Peter and Sheila Herman in Vermont, where they live.
Arnold Tenenbaum lives in Savannah, Ga., a beautiful and fascinating city. Arnold is in the family enterprise, which he describes as "the steel distribution and scrap business." Family, travel, and community service keep his schedule full. The Tenenbaums have a daughter at Sarah Lawrence, a son at Deerfield, a daughter at Northfield-Mt. Hermon, and a 12-year old daughter at home. Perhaps Arnold can move another load of steel before all those tuition bills come due in August.
It is hard to tell who runs faster — the racers wearing the running shoes or Larry Hampton as he sells them. If memory serves, Adidas's loss is New Balance's gain as Larry becomes managing director of the European division of New Balance. His business address becomes: New Balance, 18 Rue Contades, 67300 Schiltigheim Strasbourg, France. Congratulations, Larry. New Balance is the best.
A good note came in from Jim Orovitz, who says he has been in real estate ever since graduation, doing brokerage, building, syndication, and managing. Living in the Miami area, he sees Stan Beiley, my predecessor as class secretary, and Bill Yahr from time to time. The Orovitz family has a son getting married in June, a son in law school at the University of Florida, and a daughter who is a sophomore at Indiana University. In earlier years Jim was president of the Miami Alumni Club and regional enrollment director. He is now treasurer of Mt. Sinai Medical Center of Greater Miami, which he formerly served as vice president, and he is also vice president of Florida International University Foundation. When he wrote, Jim had just returned from a skiing trip to Colorado, where he says he skied "very poorly." But he ends on the happy thought that "my tennis and fishing are much better than my skiing."
When you read this, the Alumni Fund Drive will be in full swing. Two observations if I may. If you have "loyally" supported Dartmouth with the same contribution for the pasfive or even ten years, aren't you kidding your- self? An increase is due. Be fair. Second, isn't it time we outgrew some of those gripes of yesteryear? R.0.T.C., Indians, co-education, leadership, and all the rest are stale bread. Under President McLaughlin, we have entered a new era. Instead of standing on the ouside griping let's all put our shoulders into it and move ahead. Dartmouth is a family that pulls together.
