“It’s time to remember a day in September…” and that date is September 18 and 19, our mini-reunion. It’s at the Norwich Inn; contact (802) 643-1143, (802) 643-2909 fax or vlatka@norwichinn.com for reservations. Due to the reconstruction of the Hanover Inn, it was necessary to make this arrangement, and we will be accommodated in the newly completed Norwich Inn with elevators and all amenities.


President Vesta Smith has recently returned from a cruise on the Dnieper River in the Ukraine. She listed a portion of interest: A good trip down the Dnieper River from Kiev to Odessa. Lots of history about Turkish, Mongol, Russian control and a visit to the White Palace, where Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin met to sign the treaty to decide the fate of Europe in 1945. One in the group wanted the treaty signed according to the Cyrillic alphabet, as Stalin is spelled Ctalin, and Churchill would be last as the Cryllic diphthong for “ch” is after the “r.” Ultimately Churchill signed first, then Roosevelt and last Stalin.


A thank-you letter has been received fromRobert Ceplikas ’78, deputy director of athletics, for the $4,500 contribution to the Athletic Sponsors Program. “The entire Dartmouth coaching staff thanks the class for its continued contribution,” he writes. Perhaps other classes would like to join us in making a contribution to the Athletic Sponsor Program. The program is the lifeblood of the College’s athletic recruiting efforts.
