1963

A story came to mind after deadline for March's nostalgia issue. My freshman roommate, Jack Stobo, a budding hockey goalie, desided to improve his game by designing a tace mask to fit the contours of his face, a concept just developed by a popular goalie for the Montreal Canadiens. I was chosen to make the mold on Jack's face with plaster, which I did to perfection except for the streams of plaster that attached inextricably to Jack's hair and head. We chucked the drying mask and rushed Jack to Dick's House where skilled doctors prompdy performed a butch haircut that took a few months to grow back in. Ben Read '62, across the hall, suggested we cover Jack's hair and do it again. But I was relieved from duty and don't know what finally happened, except that my typewriter keys got a good brushing with Colgate Dental Cream ... and Jack, well, he's chief of medicine at Johns Hopkins University.

Those of you who remember Dartmouth's appearance on TV's "GE College Bowl" in 1960 will recall Carl Maves scoring with whatever obscure literary allusion they threw his way. Carl went on to Oxford and a Ph.D. in English at Stanford and has been writing and teaching college ever since. His book, Sensuous Pessimism: Italy in the Work of HenryJames was published in 1973 by Indiana University Press and he has written theater, music, art, and book criticism for three newspapers in the San Francisco Bay area including the Chronicle. His teaching credits include Dartmouth, Southern Methodist, and most recently Arizona Western College. Carl is looking for something more permanent in teaching or journalism.

If you know of a college or publication that could benefit from Carl's talents and experience, contact Carl Maves, 91 Loyola, Menlo Park, CA 94025, telephone 415/366-6014.

Frank Wohl continues his pressure on New York City to rid the Fulton Fish Market of racketeers. Frank, who was appointed five years ago to monitor conditions there, said he would soon disclose his intentions on intervening in a report to Judge Thomas P. Griesa of Federal District Court in Manhattan.

Buster Welch, an aquatic ecologist and research scientist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada, presented his ideas for increasing Dartmouth's environmental activity in the March issue ("Letters") of this magazine. He calls for acquisition of wild land; students, faculty and administrators with outdoor and environmental interest; dealing with population growth in the Upper Valley; reinstating a College naturalist; supporting outdoor clubs; and canceling classes on opening day of fishing season.

Richard Fox, director of development and alumni affairs at Groton School since 1978, was elected a member of the National Council of the World Wildlife Fund and the Conservation Foundation, Washington, D.C. Richard, an "adopted" member of our class, served as assistant dean of the Tucker Foundation from 1967 to 1976, during which time he perfected his interests in hunting, fishing, and maple syrup production. Richard and Buster Welch are probably among the small group of our classmates who ever got to know and enjoy the Dartmouth Grant.
