Class Note 1957
Issue
May-June 2022
A previous column featured class treasures, those persons, places, and things treasured in our aging memories: persons such as our teachers, coaches, and classmates; places such as the Appalachian Trail; and things such as the bells of Baker Library. Bob Adelizzi selectedA Return to the Source as his treasure, a special book edited by Tom Schwartz for our 50th reunion.
Take a moment and return to the source with me. The year was 2007, Randy Aires was our class president, and Bob Marchant was our reunion chairman. Open up this wonderful book and discover essays regarding athletics during our time by Bob Rex, Charlie Sellman, and Dick van Riper; a Connecticut cross-country run with Bob Mowbray; the judicial reminisces of Larry Silberman; and the fun of being a symphony conductor by Erich Kunzel.There’s an article by Bob Andrews concerning the careers we have pursued, and one regarding our satisfaction with those careers by Bob Copeland.
An inspirational section is devoted to classmates who have received the coveted Dartmouth Alumni Award, those members of our class who have demonstrated outstanding service to Dartmouth, have achieved exemplary success in their professions, and have provided noteworthy in-depth contributions to society. No less than 10 ’57s have been so recognized: Hannie Mason, Joe Stevenson, George Southwick, Tom Schwartz, Tom Keller, Jack Hall,Randy Aires, Clark Griffiths, Garvey Clarke, and Dave Orr. The real treasures within this treasure, of course, are comments each of our classmates submitted for inclusion. Look up your old roommates, teammates, fraternity brothers, and best friends. Bob Adelizzi referred us to Joel Levy, but there are treasured memories here for each and every one of us.
This brief return to the source and our 50th reunion is timely as we prepare for our 65th reunion coming up in September. It’s fitting that we take a moment to appreciate the time and effort involved by Tom Macy, Bruce Bernstein, Clark Griffiths, and a dedicated reunion committee of 10 classmates working to ensure a happy and memorable reunion for each of us. Hope to see you there: “’57 Out!”
