Dartmouth did just fine in the Winter Olympics.Twenty-nine Ivy Leaguers went to the Olympics and 13 came from Dartmouth three came away with gold medals representing Canada in women's ice hockey. All told there were six female hockey players from Dartmouth on the Olympic hockey teams, and that is the reason why our women's hockey team didn't make the Final 4 in the NCAA, which tit has done in the last four years or so. We have sent 114 Ail-Time Ivy League representatives to the winter Olympics, Harvard is next with 72, then Brown with 15.

And now a note about our class president, Em Day. I was cleaning out my condo the other day and discarded many things but did send Em articles and a picture of him in one of the New York papers. Do you remember who our class valedictorian was? Who the winner of the Barrett Ail Around Achievement Cup was? Who graduated summa cum laude? I would have been satisfied with anyone of them, but all three! Wow! You guessed the answer: Em Day. I also came across many newspaper articles from 1940 and the December 1940 issue of the Dartmouth Alumni Magazing. That showed nine pages of the Dartmouth-Cornell fifth down, in which Cornell agreed they had scored on the fifth down and belatedly conceded the victory to Dartmouth 3-0. Same were sent to Josie Harper, our A.D.

It is with sadness that we report the deaths of Richard Gruen, our class secretary for 25 years, Robert Goodman, Dr. Winthrop Watts and Vance Kir by. We send our sympathies to their families.
