1932

What and why is a "Class of 1932 Internship?" Unless your forgettery is even more active than mine, you will remember that our executive committee in 1985 established a Dartmouth endowment. The annual in- terest helps pay the salary of a senior for part-time help in the office of Career and Employment Services.

At our mini-reunion banquet the current intern, Gisele Laffaye '88, gave a recital of her duties. They are impressive. The office is really besieged with requests for advice, especially by seniors suddenly conscious of entering the real world. Gisele fielded our questions adroitly and articulately. Which profession attracts the most graduates of Dartmouth? Banking. The least? Teaching.

This is prelude to the executive committee meeting of October in Rockefeller Hall. Skip Sturman '70, director of CES, reported on the results of our funding. It transpired that in his busy department not one but two senior interns are employed. Thanks to your generosity our fund has grown so that the interest now supports "half an intern." Should our great class have the honor of endowing the second 1932 Internship? Your committee thought so. It was so voted. We look forward to completing the funding in future years. Need I add that if you wish to contribute to this worthy effort between class dues payments, our worthy treasurer, Howdy Pierpont, will be happy to receive your worthy check.

Your secretary fell in love with Hawaii all over again on a week's holiday in Kauai. Anybody for three months there? Surethat old volcano-tracker Dick Stoiber. Dick is so eminent a geologist that even in retirement he gets a chance to teach at the U. of Hawaii. And from January through March yet. Will Dick and Eddie be in touch with the Ben Cowdens? The Reuel Dennys? Will Dick turn a routine course in geology into an exciting study of volcanos? You kidding?

Let's see the hands of all those who talked with Vera Barad at our 55th. At the October mini? Well, Vera was talked into an enduring relationship by that prince of talkers, Ed Marks, and lucky Ed made her his bride the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Vera, you deserve him. Be happy, happy pair.
