1949

The score was 5-0 in Yale's favor at the end of the second period of the last game of the 1983 hockey season. I was sitting next to Russ Palmer '48 at the Ingalls Rink in New Haven, an outlandish group of musicians were on the ice playing "The Sons of Eli," and Russ and I were reminiscing about the Jeremiah years of Dartmouth hockey.

Recalling such hockey immortals as Mather Harrison, Rondeau Cunliffe,, Joe Riley and his brothers Bill and Jack; Manny Benero, "Soupy" Campbell, and Dick Desmond helped to ease the pain of the final period and final score of Blue 9, Green 0. We had only compassion for our young men in green. They deserved better.

If you would like to relive some of those great years of the forties, you will hasten to notify Bud Hughes of your desire to spend June 1316 in Hanover, N.H. The pace has been slowed to reflect the time that has .elapsed. Remember that our thoughtful 35th is a once-in-a-lifetime affair. But whether you can make the scene or not, show Gordon Thomas and the College that you still care and increase your financial support for our 35th reunion gift.

During the final days of February your class held its annual winter "shake out the blahs" weekend. Led by president Al Wagner and Joyce and your secretary and his friend, we all did our thing, commencing with dinner and the Nugget on Friday evening. On Saturday, while the men explored the cross-country ski trails is around the golf course and the Connecticut River, the women skied at Mt. Ascutney and took advantage of sale days in Hanover. A wine and cheese party at the Occom Inn, a late dinner at the Lyme Inn, and a good many toasts to all you absent classmates as we made plans for 1984 wrapped up the weekend.
