1967

A few more details about the highly successful 30th Reunion are in order. Michael Gfroerer led a small group to the Ravine Lodge and later up to Moosilauke. The group that stayed at the lodge included: Joan and Dave Millane, Suzanne and John Talbott, Bill White, and Andy Danver. Susan and Glen Oxton joined in the climbing.

Paul Killebrew was particularly involved with a variety of events, conducting an admissions workshop for parents, which was well attended, and chairing a panel of student seniors who commented on their perspectives about what Dartmouth has to offer.

During the Reunion, John Isaacs led a discussion of the politics of the Vietnam conflict. Continuing the Vietnam panel from the 25th Reunion, it provided reflection and perspective. John works in Washington, D.C., at a public-interest organization as the president of the Council for a Livable World.

In a personal note, John mentions the Isaacs family has passed another milestone sending the first child off to college (not to another cold-weather school in New England, but to the University of Hawaii). Sounds like a great excuse for some road trips for warm weather and to observe where his daughter and money go.

The '67 Reunion questionnaire and memory quiz (courtesy of John Isaacs) tested recall for events at Dartmouth, American policies, current events, international affairs, sports, and entertainment. Bill Sjogren wins the prize for best memory of events, followed by Lawrence Bowen and Ron Lemberger. The results for the personal questions proved interesting. When asked about changes at Dartmouth, 95 percent of respondents were strongly or mildly supportive of coeducation, 89 percent approved of the Dartmouth plan, while 59 percent disapproved dropping the Indian symbol. When asked how happy or satisfied classmates were with their lives, 79 percent said they are very happy, while 28 percent were moderately happy with their lives. Of interest to the alumni giving office and the admissions office, 86 percent said they would choose Dartmouth again if they had to apply, while 9 percent said they would choose to attend today's Dartmouth that is coed but not necessarily the Dartmouth of 1963. No one said they would not attend. It appears the spell of Dartmouth remains in our muscles and our brains.

Those who attended the Reunion (or other classmates) are encouraged to send any comments or photos; news is always welcome. Look for the forthcoming class webpage on the Dartmouth home page: .
