As New England struggles to triumph over a long winter here, ’67s were invited to recall their favorite memories of spring term at Dartmouth. Cory Aden-Wansbury recalls “studying on the grass, back up against a headstone, in the cemetery next to Lord.” Owen Leach (in Streeter) remembers “the first really warm spring day in May, windows were open, breeze was from the south, and the scent from the sun-warmed pines was intoxicating.” Dick Clapp remembers “when we had a spring snowfall one night followed by a bright sunny day. There was an inch of snow sticking to the tree limbs, but it was melting fast in the warm sunshine. It was as if the winter wanted to get in one last gasp before giving way to the new season.” John Kornet thinks about “the greening of the Green, the ability to wear shorts to class, the pervasive smells of spring.” For John Talbot it was those “unmistakable fragrances of emerging spring—bringing with them the anticipation of parties, weekends, softball, bike rides, and road trips,” which for Dave Sides meant “road trips to Skidmore,” while for Jack Lockhart it was “playing pickup basketball on the outside basket behind North Mass dorm in the late afternoons.” Warren Cook recalls a “Harvard-Dartmouth ski race with Ned Gillette and company,” while Doug Coonrad remembers “spring wildflowers along DOC trails and Occom Pond, working on the updated DOC trail guide and skiing Tuckerman’s Ravine for two days instead of studying.” Nick Mason spent “much of the time off campus with the sailing team on the Charles River in Cambridge and at Mascoma Lake,” while Ed Arnold remembers fondly being “on the water a lot” rowing lightweight crew. Ken Clark and Mike Seely remember “Green Key Weekend—highlight of the year,” including “the chariot races in front of Tuck.” Erik Joh’s favorite memory is of an early Green Key morning when “lots of young women were crying and speaking quite loudly to their dates carrying heavy mattresses and sleeping bags, very wet and soggy from the foot of heavy snow that fell on the golf course overnight.” Jim Rooks is sure “somebody will mention ‘golf by moonlight,’ ” as was Sam Ostrow, who added, “unfortunately, I forgot her name.” For Bill Yaggy and Rob Kugler it was “warmer days and hums.” Pat Horgan says “swimming at the ledges was high on the list of memories.” Steve Landa and John Lobitz remember “hums, the ledges, and Psi U/Beta bike race to Smith.” Bruce Pacht says spring term meant “we Dekes could once again drink beer out on our porch while chanting idiotic insults at the Psi Us across West Wheelock Street.” Ah, spring!

On March 24 the annual ’67 D.C. dinner was held. Attendees included organizers Bob and Maria Burka and John and Amy Isaacs, along with Bruce Chasan and Barbara Ellen Stratton, Chuck Hobbie, Bob and Betsy Davidson, Tony Newkirk,Sam Ostrow, John Rhead and Marilyn Clark, Ed and Becky Gray,and Larry Langford and Candace Langan. A great evening!
