Class Note 1954
Issue
Nov - Dec 2017
Our class has a world champion. Steve Mullins took a gold in the men’s 85-89-age, 800-meter freestyle category at the world masters swim meet in Budapest. The class of ’54 had its annual dinner meeting of the Cape Cod Dartmouth club. Jim Wright, president emeritus, delivered an inspiring talk of his personal interactions with those who experienced casualties of all severities and extremes during the Vietnam conflict. In attendance were Jane and Dick Page, Joan and Jim Tofias, Elisabeth and Shelly Woolf, Lew Milkey, Jim Clark and Dick Barker.
Preeti Rishi ’18, our Tucker intern, is a rising senior from Michigan. She is studying linguistics with a minor in East Asian studies. On campus Preeti is the president of the College’s chapter of Habitat for Humanity, literacy tutor for area schools though America Reads. She is an avid photographer and language buff—already speaking Chinese and Japanese and working on Korean. After Dartmouth Preeti hopes to attend medical school. This summer Preeti will be interning at Stepping Stones in Shanghai, China. Their mission is to improve the education and general welfare of disadvantaged children in China. The students at these schools find English to be their most difficult subject and the schools struggle to provide a reasonable standard of English teaching. Thus, Stepping Stones tries to fill this need for better English teaching. Preeti will serve as a teaching intern, coordinate all teaching activity and manage and support assigned volunteers. She will be in contact the local schools, teachers and principals and all the teaching volunteers to ensure that all parties are aware of schedules and responsibilities. She will be working with the teaching volunteers to develop teaching materials and lesson plans. Our athletic sponsor for 2016, Cam Strong, was named rookie of the year for the Dartmouth men’s hockey team. His 10 goals place him second for rookies in the ECAC. He had a really good year. Source is Coach Gaudet’s annual report to friends of Dartmouth hockey. We are saddened by the passing of Tommy Corcoran and Robert Gluek.
