1956

Our class of '56 scholarship student is Nathan Cook '9B and he writes: "I'd like to extend my sincere appreciation for the class of '56 scholarship award for the 1996-97 terms. Without this scholarship, continuing my education at Dartmouth would be impossible. I have continued to work during the recent terms and was promoted to area supervisor in dining services. I am hopeful that I will be promoted to area manager in the coming term. I also maintained a position grading Computer Science 5 and have applied for systems administrator. Among the courses I've taken in the 1995/96 school year are CS 25, 68, and 78, Economics 1, Physics 13 and 14, Geography 21, and History 3.I have attained a G.P. A. of approximately 3.2. I had the pleasure of establishing the D.D.S. home page on the Internet.... When I wasn't working, I was involved in extracurricular sports. I played on an ice hockey team through the winter and a Softball team in the spring.... Again, I'd like to thank you for the endowed scholarship. It is my intention to make next year even better than the first two."

The Wall Street Journal reports that none other than Clem Malin has been representing the International Chamber of Commerce in Geneva meetings concerning international agreements to control the worldwide emissions of greenhouse gases.

None can deny that Clem's experience as class prez helped prepare him to deal with gases of all types.
