Class Note 1948
Issue
May - Jun 2019
Dartmouth athletics director Harry Sheehy sent the class a letter advising that the 1948 Scholar Athlete Award last year for athletic performance and academic achievement honored Remy Borinsky ’19 (women’s soccer) and Jack Traynor ’19 (football).
Borinsky was selected to the All-Ivy League first team for two years and named All-New England. She is a neuroscience major with a 3.6 GPA. Traynor was second in the conference with 98 tackles and earned a unanimous selection to the All-Ivy League first team at linebacker. Historically, awardees have joined us for cocktails and dinner at our reunions and given brief talks, which were much enjoyed and gave us a chance to meet the players and hear more about the College.
This is no longer feasible due to the diminished size of our reunions, and we should give consideration about involving a younger class to carry this tradition forward. John Hatheway encouraged our annual gifting to Dartmouth athletics. Sheehy commented, “On the strength of endowment giving, Dartmouth can offer more competitive coaching salaries and bring in high-caliber teacher-coaches whose skills and experience truly make a difference. In the last six years we have hired 16 new head coaches who have infused our department with renewed passion, energy, and expertise. Thank you for being a game-changer for Dartmouth, our coaches, and our student-athletes.”
Hugh Ettinger notes that after selling his composting company he worked as a consultant studying the operations of the big material recovery facilities (MRFs) that operate in virtually every county in California, processing as much as 3,000 tons of garbage a day. The Folsom prison has an MRF that processes the city’s garbage as well as its own and has the highest recyclables recovery rate in California. Why? If you are a prisoner who works in the MRF, you work in the picking lines and get special housing and meals outside the main prison.
