1932

You were probably as gratified as I to read President Freedman's letter accompanying Howdy Pierpont's annual reminder of class dues. His words of appreciation for our endowment of two internships at the Office of Career and Employment Services (CES) point up something I hadn't realized. At last year's mini we heard intern Gisele Laffaye '88 tell the ways CES gives assistance to undergraduates looking ahead to careers in education, business, graduate school— you name it. (It was Gisele who initiated the idea of broadening the CES program by installing student liaisons in all the dormitories.) Now we learn from President Freedman that the interns themselves gain "valuable knowledge and skills" as they assist in "the operation of an important school resource." Thus the great class of' 32 "is enriching (to quote Freedman) the quality of Dartmouth education in a highly significant way." Some of you may have talked at the October mini with the two interns who currently benefit from our program: Colette Ellis '89 and Lisa Porter '90.

Summer activities, various and demanding, tend to turn our minds away from Hanover. The hospitality of Dobbie and ArtAllen, always reunifying, brought some 22 of us together again at a "picnic" before the Penn game. It was a joy to see ex-president Jim Corbett after more than a year, and Amy, as always, added good cheer to the party, her successful knee operation long behind her. Dorothy and Ben Burch and Dick atid Eddie Stoiber crossed the river from Norwich, and Joanne and AmosDublin trekked south from Lyme. After a great-to-see-you-again happy hour, we were plied with far too many sandwiches plus mugs of Sunny Savage's incomparable zucchini soup. (Please, ma'am, may I have some more?) The game may have been a defeat for the Big Green, but we weren't exactly beaten like a rented mule. As Clark and Morton caught passes and racked up yardage, we knew that the Teevens strategy was really beginning to make itself felt.

Next issue: an undergraduate encounters the U.S. Supreme Court.
