1933

We have a few classmates who are as well known outside of the United States as they are within, and Dick Goldthwait is one of them. Geology must be an inherited trait. His father taught at Dartmouth for 40 years and Dick almost equaled the record at Ohio State where he was chairman of the department. Both Goldthwaits had a special interest in glaciers, which has taken him and Kay to the remote areas of the earth. His most recent trip was to Glacier Bay, Alaska, famous rendezvous for whales, where he joined a symposium to evaluate whether many cruise ships and the great denizens of the deep can occupy the same turf, or in this instance, surf.

The College has made an award to Mannie Sprague for "outstanding service to the Alumni Fund," a just prize for many years as head agent.

A dwindling number of '33s haven't retired yet, and Vin Merrill is one of. them still working on the job. His office is at home in Lincoln, Mass., as a landscape architect. A good job he says, because he doesn't have to go out if the weather is poor, and the other guys do all the work.

F. Fuller "Rip" Ripley sends along a photo (unsuitable for reproduction) of an all-Dartmouth foursome at the Keene (N.H.) Golf Club. Bill Scherman '34, reports Rip had the best score, but still hasn't attained his lifetime ambition of shooting his age.

Another golfer, Jack Huntress, is back on his hometown course in Arizona after spending the summer at La Jolla, Calif. The good news is that his health is restored after chemotherapy for a lymphoma, now in remission.

Our former class secretary, Carl Rugen, reports he has recovered from his lung operation last winter, and is now back at the Princeton, N.J., Medical Center. But this time he is a volunteer and not a patient. Poor Jan has to get up early to feed him a 7:00 a.m. breakfast so he can get to work on time several days a week.
