CLASS NOTESDecember 1967

   It's early November, there's a thick matting of icy snow on the ground and the wind is whipping around 20 degrees Nordic air. And it's Boston. Sunny Hanover grows more inviting with the passing months.

The happy group of '66's who came to town to celebrate the Indians' dramatic victory over the Crimson - like Princeton Theological Seminary scholar Brewster "Budge" Gere, mustached law students Mike Nadel and Dick Blacklow, and assistant freshman football coach George Trumbull – were saddened, as were all men of true conviction, by Yale's come-from-behind, bad-call squeaker win over the Green. Old alums in the Bowl were eating their hats.

On the brighter side, Chris Sanger and Carolyn Debra Wolpe, a graduate of Tufts University, were married on July 23 in Washington. Chris is in his second year at Columbia Law School and Carolyn is teaching in Teaneck, N. J.

Charles Thayer and his wife, the former Julie Ann Jewett, are now residing in New Haven where Charlie is a Ph.D. candidate at Yale. They were married on September 2, in Manchester, VT. Julie graduated from Pembroke in 1967.

Also on the second, Parker Smith, a second-year law student at Vanderbilt University, was married to Virginia Keyes Lassetor, a Vanderbilt graduate working for a master's degree in mathematics at the school.

University of Connecticut law student Paul Semple and Barbara Eaton Brastow, an alumna of the Elmira College for Women and the Berkeley School were married on September 2, in Fairfield, Conn. Gaylord Hitchcock was best man and Mike McConnell, Lawrence Robbins, and Harvey Wallace served as ushers.

Al Ryan and Jackson College graduate Sarah Keating Madden were wed on September 9 in Cambridge, Mass. Fraternity brother Jeff Rogers was an usher and a good contingent of '66's were on hand. Al is currently attending the University of Minnesota Law School and Sarah is at the U of M's Institute of Child Development.

Malden, MA was the site of the wedding of William George and Sarah Margaret Brown, a Mt. Holyoke alumna. Bill is doing graduate work at Princeton.

George Detlefsen and Mary Ann Margaret Olivier were married on September 16 in Mahopac, N. Y. Mary Ann is a graduate of the State University College at Albany, attended Ohio State and is now a research assistant at the Dartmouth Medical Center. George, who was awarded a bachelor of engineering degree in 1967, is working for his master's at Thayer.

Also in September Henry Wollman and Mary Ellen Lamb were married in Hanover. Henry is enrolled in the Master's Program in Architecture of the School of Art and Architecture at Yale, and Mary Ellen, a senior at Wellesley, is fulfilling her course requirements for graduation at Yale University.

Some winter weddings are on tap. Bob Serenbetz a second-year student here at the Business School, and Karen Jeanne Jackson, a graduate of the University of Connecticut School of Nursing, will be married in late December as will Wells Dow, a student at Boston University, and Margaret Hellen Bealke, a Colby Junior alumna. Harris Jones and Jeannine Johnson have also announced their intention to marry, in late January. Harris is a graduate student and research assistant at the University of Missouri in Rolla, working towards a doctorate in physics, and Jeannine is an undergraduate at the University.

Tequabo Iasu '66 shown in Ethiopia with his wife and children who did not come to Dartmouth with him. Living in Asmara in Eritrea, he is working for the Department of National Community Development.

Tequabo spent five years teaching before he came to Dartmouth on an Afro-American scholarship. He majored in economics with the ambition to enter public administration to help bring about better living conditions for his countrymen. Ethiopia has a constitutional monarchy under 76-year-old Haile Selassie, emperor since 1932. The country is mainly agricultural and most important natural resources include iron, oil, and gold. Tequabo credits the Peace Corps as being very helpful to his country.

Hope to see a good '66 representation. at Princeton, when the Indians put the finishing touches on another great grid season.
