Old Miami, New Miami (Alma Mater) Old Miami from thy hillcrest,

Thou hast watched the decades roll,

While thy sons have quested from thee, Sturdy hearted, pure of soul.

Aging in thy simple splendor,

Thou the calm and they the storm;

Thou didst give them joy in conquest,

Strength from thee sustained their arm.

Now of late thyself envigored, Larger usefulness awaits;

Hosts assemble for thy blessing,

Youth and maiden throng thy gate.

Thou shalt stand a constant beacon, Crimson tow’rs against the sky;

Men shall ever seek thy guiding, Pow’r like thine shall never die.

Chorus

(between each verse and at end) Old Miami! New Miami!

Days of old and days to be;

Weave the story of thy glory, Our Miami, here’s to thee!

Words by A. H. Upham Music by R. H. Burke

Dear Miamian, Congratulations! This year marks the 50th anniversary of your graduation from Miami University, and I am thrilled to celebrate this milestone with you at my second Alumni Weekend.

Since coming to Miami two years ago, I have connected with students on the Oxford and Regional campuses and have traveled the country to meet with alumni. What I have found is that we all share a common bond – we are One Miami – and the Class of 1968 is a shining example of that statement. Your time here may have been highlighted by vastly different experiences, from study abroad and research, to Greek life and intramural sports, but you all shared the values of the Code of Love and Honor that endures today.

The Class of 1968 is an extraordinary one, and you achieved an astonishing amount during your years at Miami and the 50 years since graduation. The world, and campus, changed remarkably during your time here, and that profoundly influenced the inclusive community you created.

You came together to show that we are One Miami.

While you are back on campus to celebrate your golden anniversary reunion, I hope you are able to recapture the love, joy, and pride you experienced as a student. Share a Tuffy’s toasted roll.

Swing by King Library and recall the legendary book brigade. And at the Parade of Classes, proudly march from the Hub up Slant Walk.

Once more, congratulations to each of you. I am sure you will enjoy your return to Oxford and all the reunion events we have planned especially for you. Welcome home!

Love and Honor,

Gregory P. Crawford President

Miami University

Golden Anniversary Reunion Class of 1968 Most of us represent the official start of the “baby boom” generation as a majority of us were born in 1946. We were not the “silent generation” but the “vocal generation.” It was at Miami University where we learned the skills and reinforced the values that set us on the path of leadership and where we gained our voice. Our lives on the vanguard of this generation made us the leaders who helped change the world forever. Our years in Oxford are remembered fondly. We got our first taste of independence and met people of different backgrounds, perspectives and points Oxford of view. Some were big-city sophisticates; some came from small towns and farming communities; many were sons and daughters of professionals; others were the first in their family to attend college. Over four years, we would knit as a community.

We were challenged by erudite professors and chose professions that would define our lives. We fell in love (and sometimes out) and many of us found lifetime partners. We made lifelong friends. We enjoyed toasted rolls at Tuffy’s, face time at the Libe, hanging out at the Res, going uptown to drink 3.2 beer and eat pizza sandwiches, and awaiting the Sangy Man to make a visit. Whether we participated in Greek life or not, we joined student organizations and cheered on Miami athletes whether they won or lost. Fifty years after graduation, as we return to the place Robert Frost called “the most beautiful campus that ever there was,” the words of the Miami fight song come to mind: “Love and honor to Miami, our college old and grand; proudly we shall ever hail thee, over all the land. Alma mater now we praise thee, sing joyfully this lay, Love and honor to Miami, forever and a day.”

9

1964-1965 As we arrived on campus in September 1964, many of us were staying away from home for the first time. We were excited to be on Miami’s beautiful campus and proud to have been admitted. We gathered in Withrow Court on Sunday night, Sept. 13, to be welcomed by Charles R. Wilson, provost and acting president. Dr. Wilson challenged us that evening. He cautioned us to look to our right and our left. “At the end of four years,” he predicted, “only one of you will make graduation.”

The 1,622 men and 1,224 women in the Class of 1968 formed the largest class in Miami’s history. Total enrollment in the university was a record with 9,239 on the Oxford campus.

Due to the high acceptance rate of women in our class, Miami faced a housing crisis that resulted in 200 freshman women beginning their Miami experience in the basement rec rooms of some dorms. By second semester, the basements had been returned to rec rooms.

This was to be a year of transition. Before we left campus in the spring, the Board of Trustees named Dr. Phillip R. Shriver the next president. The “Shriver Years” would extend through 1981.

Although we arrived on campus wide eyed and excited to make new friends and participate in college life, many events that influenced our lives leading to Civil Rights legislation and to the Vietnam War occurred during the preceding summer of 1964.

While most of us were just planning our transition to college, the Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) was training volunteers for “Freedom Summer” on the Western College campus to travel to the South to help register African-American voters for the upcoming fall election. Three of these young people were killed in Mississippi.

The USS Turner Joy and the USS Maddox were involved in an incident at the Gulf of Tonkin in Vietnam. The incident led to the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which greatly expanded the U.S. role in the Vietnam conflict. That shadow would loom over many of us throughout our undergraduate years.

Bob Schul Wins

In October, many of us signed a congratulatory card for Miamian Bob Schul who had just earned an Olympic gold medal in Tokyo. He won the 5,000-meter event, pulling away from France’s Michel Jazy for a clear victory.

Football Team

Ernie Kellerman

Meanwhile, back in Oxford, Ernie Kellerman led Miami to the second victory over a Big Ten team in three years when they handed Northwestern a loss, 28-27.

Linda Snook and Keith Humphries were named king and queen at the homecoming game against Bowling Green, in which Miami’s chances for the MAC crown were dashed.

Sports Illustrated put a national spotlight on the “Cradle of Coaches” in its feature “The Real Miami Stands Up.”

Homecoming Queen Linda Snook and King Keith Humphries

Dave Caputo

It was a banner year for the basketball team. Coach Dick Shrider led his team to a 20-4 record. Charlie Dinkins, Jim Patterson, “Snake” Williams, Jeff Gehring, John Swann, Jerry Pierson and Charlie Coles (Pierson and Coles both became the head basketball coach at Basketball Team Miami) were virtually unbeatable in the regular season, but the squad lost a playoff game to Ohio and was forced to sit out the NCAA Tournament.

In student government, Dave Caputo led the Student Senate, which was active in creating an impound lot for student cars (remember when the Student Handbook said: “If you want to drive a car, don’t come to Miami”) and actively worked with the administration to resolve the “Miami Controversy.”

11

The controversy revolved around off-campus living and entertaining women in apartments.

At the time, women were required to live in residence halls while upperclass men could live off campus or in fraternity houses. Miami students wanted to shake off the concept of in loco parentis, which gave the university the right to regulate all aspects of student conduct. As Bob Dylan blared from the jukebox in Mac and Joe’s, “the times they are a-changin.” Along with their ongoing responsibilities to be the university’s student voice, the Student Senate maintained an active agenda of promoting expanded hours for women and extended Saturday hours for the library.

As freshmen, living off campus was just a dream. The majority of us lived in the dormitories, ate in the dining halls and had to respect “HOURS.” Women had to be in by 10:30 p.m. on weekdays, midnight on Fridays, 12:30 a.m. on Saturdays and 11 p.m. on Sundays. Some ladies may have had to sneak in a window (away from notice of campus security) when they returned to their dorms after hours. In addition, leaving Oxford required us to sign out and back in when we returned. “Mother Miami” wanted to know where we were!

Dining hall rules mandated skirt apparel and no boots for women. Dinner was served family style in the Harris and Dennison dining halls. Someone played host or hostess at each table. No one left the table until everyone was finished.

Many of us experienced some of our first college courses via the television. Dr. Charles Klein’s ed psych classes and Dr. Walter McNelly’s human physiology classes were viewed from multiple classrooms on campus. Proctors in each location monitored attendance and exams. These classes were discontinued the following year.

There was no doubt Miami was the Mother of Fraternities. The Greek presence on campus was evident throughout our four years with clever homecoming decorations, high-energy Greek Week events and serenades. Chapters prodded members to maintain good grades and to assume leadership roles in campus activities. The Miami Greek system was different from many other schools in one way. Men lived in houses, while women lived in dorms and had suites for chapter activities. And the GDIs claimed they were the smartest and happiest of all.

In dorm rooms and uptown, music was led by the British invasion, while the California sound was gaining ground. Motown was still going strong. Popular movies included “A Hard Day’s Night,” “My Fair Lady,” “Goldfinger,” “Mary Poppins,” “Zorba the Greek” and “The Sound of Music.” On campus, we were entertained by Ferrante & Teicher, the Roger Wagner Chorale and the annual Messiah performance.

Ferrante and Teicher

12

John Howard Griffin’s book, “Black Like Me,” came to the big screen. Miami University Theatre, the marching band, symphony orchestra, Men’s Glee Club and other organizations provided entertainment. As always, Greek Week was Greek Week.

In November, campus security and the Oxford Fire Department tried to solve the mystery of a dozen fires set in a number of campus buildings. Although the fires caused minimal damage, they did result in the brief closure of some academic buildings and interrupted mid-term exams.

Chariot Race

The fall of 1964 saw Lyndon Johnson swamp Barry Goldwater in the national elections.

The campus caught political fever by hosting numerous discussion groups and speakers who engaged us in issues facing a nation in turmoil. We were entering a new age when old norms were challenged. It was the mid-1960s, and the traditions of the 50s were being left behind while we dealt with issues of race, drugs, war and free love.

In March 1965, more than 150 members of Miami-Western Human Relations gathered at Oxford City Hall to mark “Bloody Sunday” in Selma, Alabama.

Spring brought freshmen women their first experience with the stress of “room drawing.”

We learned what “blankies” were and even studied for exams on the lawns while we enjoyed the sunshine listening to music like the Byrds’ Bob Dylan hit, “Mr. Tambourine Man,” and Cher’s version of the Bob Dylan hit, “All I Really Want to Do.” Miss Miami had been crowned, new CWENS had been chosen and dorm counselors named for the following year. We were looking forward to the diverse commitments the next fall would bring.

13

1965-1966 The “Shriver Years” got off to their official start with Dr. Phillip Shriver’s inauguration as the 17th president of Miami on Oct. 14, 1965. It was the peak of fall on campus, and when you added the colorful academic regalia from the representatives of more than 200 colleges and universities in the inaugural procession, you had a quintessential Miami moment.

President Phillip Shriver

Dr. Shriver, who also found time to teach two nights a week, and his cabinet – Lloyd Goggin, Ray Wilson, Bob Etheridge and John Dolibois – came to define our time at Miami.

The fall of our sophomore year featured the introduction of the trimester system, three-couple apartment parties and green fences. The trimester system itself presented a number of challenges. The work was concentrated in 15 weeks, which ended in early December; no longer could you count on “cramming” over Christmas break, catch up on term papers or prepare for finals. The trimester calendar was designed to help students complete college in three years instead of four and make better use of campus facilities. However, with the Miami Alumni Soldiers war raging in Vietnam, there were not a lot of men eager to graduate early. The trimester experiment ended after three years.

The outside world also infiltrated our lives in Oxford. The Vietnam War expanded with monthly draft calls. Protests mounted in major cities. Violent rioting in Watts, Cleveland and Atlanta surfaced significant racial tensions in the country, and James Meredith was shot on a civil rights march. Increased use of drugs, especially LSD, became a national concern and was made legal in California. Russia made the first unmanned soft landing on the moon.

As miniskirts and bell-bottoms became fashionable, the Beatles performed their last concert in San Francisco. Psychedelic rock music began its meteoric rise with bands like the Byrds, while the Beach Boys brought their surfin’ sound to pop music. “The Sound of Music” won the Oscar for best picture. On television, we were watching “Bonanza,” “Andy Griffith” and “The Lucy Show.”

On campus, the football team struggled in the early going, losing three of its first four games. Students grumbled. Then Coach Bo Schembechler rallied the team to six straight wins and a share of first place in the MAC. Down went the goal posts.

MAC Champs

Homecoming featured the crowning of Janiece Hashimoto and Mike Oxley as royalty. Dr. Wilson, who had been the interim president, was honored as Dad of the Year.

The Miami basketball team carried out its final season under Coach Dick Shrider by going 18-7. The team qualified for the NCAA Tournament but lost to the University of Dayton 58-51 in the first round. Leaders on the team were Jerry Pierson, Rich Chamberlain, Jim Patterson, Bob Jackson, Frank Lukacs and Phil Snow.

For those in the Greek system, Greek Week took place in the fall rather than the spring – a consequence of the trimester system.

Homecoming Queen Janiece Hashimoto and King Mike Oxley

More than 10,000 students on campus and a new computerized registration on the IBM 1620 kept the administration busy.

Squeezed amidst studying, classes, face time, uptown trips and student organizations were concerts and plays by Miami University Theatre, various choral groups, symphonic band, the Artist Series and special weekend events.

Peter Nero

New Christy Minstrels

15

Big-name performers also showed up at Miami. Peter Nero, the Four Seasons, New Christy Minstrels, the Kingsmen, Martha and the Vandellas, the Temptations and the Lettermen entertained. The All-Campus Musical was “South Pacific” and “The Merchant of Venice” was staged for Little Sis weekend.

The campus also had room for serious conversations. The Voices of Dissent lecture series included Russell Stetler, Carl Oglesby, Ernest van den Haag and Frithjof Bergmann. The topics centered on current events, mainly the crisis in Vietnam and the civil rights movement. The Peace Corp came to campus to recruit, and there were protests (albeit small ones) against the war in Vietnam. American Airlines was on campus to recruit stewardesses – women had to be between 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 9 inches with weight proportional but not in excess of 140 pounds.

The Four Seasons

The Student Senate’s Civil Liberties Board wrote “green sheets” regarding “Mother Miami’s” regulations.

Subsequently, the senate established the Rules Investigation Committee to reform the university’s interpretation of in loco parentis.

The Glass Menagerie

As we arrived on campus in September 1965, we were happily surprised to read The Miami Student headline: “Apartments Open for Parties Provided That Three Couples Attend.” Previously women were prohibited from attending social gatherings in men’s apartments. The Board of Trustees relaxed the rule on a trial basis for the 1965-66 academic year. Party planners, however, were required to register any weekend party with Gracie Dome by no later than Wednesday preceding that weekend. Was “Mother Miami” relenting?

The Miami Student

The university continued to plan for the construction of academic buildings, residential housing and other facilities. The university announced it would construct a new behavioral sciences building on the site of the Delta Kappa Epsilon and Sigma Chi fraternity houses on High Street. Also in the plans were an addition to Upham Hall, additions to Withrow Court, a new library, Shideler Hall, two new residential halls north of Hepburn Hall on North Campus and a new alumni relations building on Chestnut Street. Increased demand for off-campus housing prompted developers to begin construction of two new apartment complexes in Oxford while planning two more.

16

Miami continued to grow outside of Oxford. Plans were approved for a new campus in Hamilton as the Middleton campus doubled in enrollment to 500 students.

City officials proposed constructions of a Route 27 bypass around the south and west sides of Oxford to reduce through traffic. The city also proposed relocation of Route 73 leading from Route 127 into Oxford. The highway, with its many hills, saw eight traffic fatalities during the year. Worth noting is the fact that more than 50 years later, nothing has changed.

During the course of the year, Associated Women Students (AWS) and other campus organizations petitioned the university for expanded privileges for women. AWS proposed extending Friday’s hours from 12:30 a.m. to 1 a.m. and offering a 10-minute grace period for women to return to their dorms before being locked out.

Uptown was a magnet for students on the weekends. The Purity, C. I., Mac and Joe’s, and Al and Larry’s were meeting places for Window Shopping Uptown class weary students looking for relaxation and socialization. The band Tony and the Bandits played at the C. I. on many a Sunday afternoon. A couple of years later, after changing their name to The Lemon Pipers, they had a national hit with “Green Tambourine” – and to think they got their start at Miami!

After much controversy over immensely unpopular green fences, it was suggested that the university place signs urging pedestrians to walk on the sidewalks instead of treading “cross country.” If the program proved successful, the university might remove the fences.

The Purity

While not extremely popular, the trimester system allowed us to take an extra course or two during the beautiful spring in Oxford, but still enjoy summer vacation before returning for our junior year.

17

1966-1967 As we returned to campus, Coach Bo Schembechler and the football team delivered the first great event of the year – a 20-10 victory over Indiana University, marking the second time in our four years that Miami had upset a Big Ten team. Time to carry those goal posts to where they actually belonged – the front door of the Purity! Music memories when the trimester started included Sergio Mendes and Brasil ’66 with their signature song “Mas que Nada.”

In 1966, Bo and his team had one of the best seasons in the long history of Miami Football. They built a 12-game winning streak that was the longest in the nation and rose to the top 20 teams in the country. They blew away archrival Ohio 33-13 but somehow lost to a third-string quarterback from Bowling Green the following week. Still, they ended the year at 9-1, including a 28-8 drubbing of Cincinnati in a game billed as the oldest college football rivalry west of the Alleghenies.

Football was an integral part of the social scene. The homecoming bonfire on Cook Field was a monstrous affair, with wood from a variety of sources stacked to a height of more than 40 feet.

Bo and Dr. Shriver exhorted the bonfire crowd, and Miami defeated Marshall.

Andy Bell and Kathy Toomey were crowned king and queen; Count Basie and his band wowed the homecoming dance crowd at Withrow Court.

Dionne Warwick

The football year starred Ed Philpott, Bruce Matte, Al Moore, John Erisman, Homecoming King Andy Bell Wayne Warden and many others. Miami and Queen Kathy Toomey ended the year with the best record since Ara Parseghian’s charges finished 9-0 in 1952. The Cradle of Coaches was alive. Parents Day, when we cleaned our rooms, apartments and fraternity houses, brought a big 38-6 football victory over Dayton. Dr. Karl Limper, dean of the College of Arts and Science, and his wife Betty were Parents of the Year. Dionne Warwick and Godfrey Cambridge brought out the dance set for the Parents Weekend celebration at Withrow.

18

While Dean Limper and his wife were Parents of the Year, Dr. Shriver was “Uncle of the Year.” Everywhere we went there was “Uncle Phil” – from the football stadium to the classroom to breakfast with students.

As only a loving uncle could, Dr. Shriver hid a smile behind his hand when the administration discovered that students barricaded new Harrison Hall following a huge snowstorm in November 1966. Whereas a century before the snowball rebellion had caused the closing of the university, this time it caused a shrug and a shovel brigade. He and Mrs. Shriver moved into Lewis Place that fall, just in time for Thanksgiving.

At the same time, many of us were Dr. Shriver helping to hand-carry books from the old Alumni Library to brand spanking new King Library. The static electricity from the new carpet made your hair stand on end, but King was a great new study space where many eventually prepared for exams. Face time at the Libe took on new meaning.

The basketball team of 1966-67 had a mediocre record, but it could generate a raucous environment in Withrow Court.

Tates Locke was the new coach, succeeding Moving to King Library Dick Shrider, who had become athletic director. While the team compiled a record of 14-10, you really had to be in Withrow when they beat Ohio, Kent, Xavier or Eastern Kentucky. The noises, the sweat, the pep band, the intimidation, the enthusiasm of Withrow were off the charts, especially when Miami junior Fred Foster had the ball.

Fred, known as “The Bear” among his teammates, was MVP of the Motor City Tournament, an all-league selection and would go on to a career in the National Basketball Association. He was electrifying.

Our other athletic teams also provided opportunities to cheer on Miami. Andy Schramm was a standout on the cross-country team; Ted Downing set a record in the high jump; swimmers won the MAC title, as did the wrestlers. Al Moore coached the tennis team, and Rodger Cromer led the golf team to a winning season. Woody Wills continued to coach the baseball team. Soccer started to become a part of campus life.

Unfortunately, the hockey team was involved in a serious traffic accident, which injured several members of the club and forced the cancellation of 10 games. If you weren’t up to the level of varsity sports, there was still an active intramurals program or competition on the bowling lanes at the Res. Women’s athletics gained in popularity in such intercollegiate sports as basketball, swimming, softball, field hockey and archery.

Harrison Hall

Women’s Sports

Final exams took place in the middle of December 1966. One advantage of the trimester system – if you were ready – was that finals were out of the way before the holiday season.

Winter Weekend brought to campus Ramsey Lewis, the Lemon Pipers, Gary and the Hornets, and Mitch Ryder, continuing a trend of top-rate musical groups that somehow found their way to Oxford. On Charter Day, which celebrates the establishment of the university on Feb. 17, 1809, Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker spoke to an audience at Withrow. That night, Dave Brubeck lit up the crowd where our Barb Vice reigned as Queen.

In the new year of 1967, mysteriously the Deke house, which stood abandoned across the street from Dr. Shriver’s office to make room for a new classroom building, caught fire. No one was injured in the blaze, but the inferno required fire companies from Oxford and surrounding communities to put it out. Conspicuous by his presence was the Sangy Man. The original “food truck,” he fed and consoled many that night as he had since our freshman year in East or South Quads.

Deke House

This year also included wonderful performances by theatrical groups, choirs and orchestras. The All-Campus Musical Show, “Brigadoon,” packed Benton Hall, as did the Cleveland Orchestra. A Capella, The Men’s Glee Club, The Choraliers (Women’s Choral Society) and the Miami Band performed on and off campus.

While the tunes on the jukebox at the Res had changed a little since our freshman year (“Scotch and Soda” was still there), we now listened to “Jackson” by Johnny Cash and June Carter. Many aspects of Miami life were the same: a wonderful Greek life, chariot races, Fridays and Saturdays uptown. Flicks like “Cool Hand Luke” and “Georgy Girl” at the MiamiWestern. TV stations brought news from around the world and introduced us to “Star Trek” and the Smothers Brothers. Cafeteria trays “borrowed” from dining rooms were perfectly adapted to the snow-covered hills at Western. Lightly used textbooks were sold for cash to buy that last pitcher of beer at Al and Larry’s, the Purity, C.I. or Mac and Joe’s. Wonderful professors – Christenson, Niswonger, Havighurst, Fathauer, Becker, Moloney, Wright and so many others – made for a remarkable junior year. Students at Miami were very interested in world and U.S. news. We were among those who pushed for a change in policy to get out of Vietnam. However, the struggle for civil rights was much more central to our personal ethic.

Black power, riots in Cleveland, Detroit, Los Angeles and elsewhere brought home the need to promote equality for the nation’s minorities.

The Voices of Dissent series brought leading figures to the campus. We listened to and engaged with Bayard Rustin and William Stringfellow and one another on racial discord.

Spring brought exams, studying as best we could as the sun appeared on campus. We listened to The Young Rascals’ “Groovin’” and tried to decide if the line was “you and me endlessly” or “you and me and Leslie?” Taking courses during the spring term was another option for some of our class. Spring trips included Florida and other vacation destinations before we went home for work or rest and relaxation.

20

1967-1968 Fall 1967 was an exciting time for most of us. We could count the number of blue books that stood between us and graduation. We returned to our odd jobs, from waiting tables in the dining halls to cleaning pool tables in the Res. Some of us were very involved with volunteer activities all the while we were starting to consider just what we would do in the “life after Miami.” Tuffy’s was still there and so were the toasted rolls, but maybe it was time to scratch our one set of initials on our favorite booth and add a new dream. “Different Drum” by the Stone Poneys, featuring Linda Ronstadt, welcomed us back to campus that September.

Students

Upperclass women were adjusting to their new Tuffy’s hours; midnight during the week and 2 a.m. on the weekends. For the first time ever, Miami women who were 21 by the time school started that fall were permitted to live in off-campus housing.

The Miami Student resumed a twice weekly schedule. The first issue headline – “Trimesters Must Go, Off-campus housing for women Says Shriver, Recommends Quarters.” Trimesters had been established to encourage year round utilization of plant and facilities but the starting and stopping points, at variance with the calendars of 97 percent of the nation’s colleges and universities and nearly all of the secondary and preparatory schools, had not produced the increased summer enrollment predicted. The call was for all state universities to adopt a uniform quarter calendar.

The football team had a 6-4 record, losing two games by a single point.

John Ault did us proud and Albie Moore set a Miami rushing record and the ball carrying record for a single game.

Homecoming Court

Homecoming Queen Ruthie Narduzzi and King Ted Goble

The cross-country team stayed as a group in front of their opponents and won the MAC, the Central Collegiates and were sixth at nationals.

Homecoming 1967 – what a weekend. The traditional parade, bonfire and fireworks Friday; the Saturday air show by the Thunderbirds followed by the Redskins football team defeating the Thundering Herd of Marshall 48-6. Ruthie Narduzzi and Ted Goble reigned as king and queen while Swing and Sway with Sammy Kaye entertained at the evening dance.

We cleaned up and toned down for Parents Weekend as we courted culture for our parents. The Rev. and Mrs. Hardigg Sexton were honored with the traditional chair and silver bowl at halftime of the football game. The Orchesis show combined interpretation in modern dancing with sets designed by architecture students while the university orchestra featured David Bean, Artistin-Residence. Everyone enjoyed the New Christy Minstrels.

The Artist Series encouraged the fine arts and introduced the students to the outside world of culture and artistic achievement.

Mary Costa presented opera at Benton Hall and the Chicago Symphony made a stop at Withrow. Voyages in Poetry and Folk Songs and the Kroll String Quartet made appearances and Dave Brubeck performed with the Cincinnati Symphony.

Service on numerous bodies, including student government, publications and program board, created leaders. Chip Case was president of Student Senate while Karen Knouff presided over AWS, and Lynn Pierson was president of the Inter-fraternity Council. Eric von Klinger worked overtime to keep The Miami Student, “The Oldest College Newspaper in the Country,” publishing.

John Butterfield led the staff of the Recensio, which chronicled our senior year in over 300 pages.

By New Year’s we knew we were going to graduate in April, if we didn’t mess up. We tried to take the courses that would meet our final graduation Student Senate requirements without overtaxing. Many signed up for Dr. Robert Sherwin’s SOC 361 – Family and Marriage. The lecture hall was always packed – he was a popular professor, and it was a great way of signaling our intent to another person.

It was also the time of the year when many were being engaged, pinned or lavaliered. Fraternity boys came by and offered a serenade to their loved one. Soon, for many, Miami Mergers would follow.

Miami Merger

While we sauntered through the second trimester of our senior year, we were not naive. Some saw us living in a vacuum, but we had come a long way from fall 1964. Back then, war was in a far off place in Southeast Asia; now it had a more profound and visceral meaning. It would hit home tragically when Terry Graves ’67 was killed in action in Vietnam. Terry would receive the Congressional Medal of Honor and the Class of 1967 Scholarship and Graves Hall at Quantico are named for him. The struggle for civil rights was much more central to our personal ethic.

Black power, riots in Cleveland, Detroit, Los Angeles and elsewhere brought home the need to engage in equality for the nation’s minorities.

“Nobody beats Miami” was the motto of the swim team. Captained by John Russell and Ted Goble, they gave Coach Raymond Ray his 100th victory and won both the MAC Relays and MAC Championship for the second year in a row. Not to be outdone, the wrestlers, led by seniors Terry Faulk, John Sustersic and Bill Beacham, won both the Interstate Quad and the MAC. Walt Podgurski became Miami’s first wrestling All-American.

The basketball team was again led by “Mr. Everything” Fred Foster. The Mid-American Conference player of the year averaged 26.9 points a game – a record that still stands – and had a game high of 43 points. He went on to a career in the National Basketball Association. Fred was paired with Phil Snow making for a “dynamic duo.” Their last home game was also the last basketball game to be held at Withrow Court. A sold out crowd said goodbye to the old – Millett Hall would be open for the next season.

Junior Prom

Films that lured us uptown included “Camelot,” “The Graduate,” “Valley of the Dolls,” “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” and “Jungle Book.” “Green Tambourine” by our own Lemon Pipers spent the week of Feb. 3 as No. 1 on the Billboard charts. Others to make it to the top of the chart were “Daydream Believer,” “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay,” “Honey,” “Love is Blue” and “Hello Goodbye” by the Beatles. If you wanted to stay in and watch TV you might have watched TV’s top-rated show of the year, “The Andy Griffith Show.” It was followed by “The Lucy Show” and “Gomer Pyle U. S. M. C.” New to TV that year was “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In.” Who could forget “Sock it to me?”

Peter, Paul and Mary entertained our siblings for Little Sis Weekend and Sam and Dave took the stage for J Prom. Winter Weekend brought us the Byrds.

Who can forget celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with green beer – a penny a glass and a nickel a pitcher?

The Byrds

The annual Voices of Dissent series opened with journalist M. Stanton Evans and socio-economist Robert Theobald, continued with Columbia professor Richard Cloward and concluded with theology professor Gibson Winter.

Many journalists heralded AS WE SEE IT: Vietnam ’68 as the most extensive and comprehensive program assembled on the topic.

During the four weeks of the series, those in attendance were exposed to virtually every aspect of the war through lectures, featuring Dr. Robert Scalapino General Maxwell Taylor, Roger Hilsman, Tran Van Dinh, Roland Evans and Robert Novak and a debate between Harrison Salisbury and Dr. Robert Scalapino. AS WE SEE IT was a great achievement by students for students.

Harrison Salisbury

Spring sports came through for Miami. The track team was 6-0 in dual meets and won the MAC. Ted Downing tied the NCAA indoor high jump record. With a strong second place finish by the golfers, Miami was able to capture the prestigious Reese All-Sports Trophy.

Ted Downing

The Mitchell Trio with John Denver came to entertain at Miami in spring 1968. A few of us on Concert Board were fortunate to entertain the group in our apartments.

Phil Dissinger

We geared up for life after graduation by preparing our resumes for prospective employers.

Big corporations came to campus to interview us; some invited us to their headquarters for deeper interviews. School systems invited us to come teach with them. The Peace Corps invoked ideas of national service. AFROTC and NROTC dictated where those graduates were going. Others of us were attracted by grad school that would take us to careers in law, medicine and service to mankind.

Martin Luther King Jr. March Memoriam

We had lived through the assassination of John F. Kennedy when we were seniors in high school. But, Tuesday, April 4, marked another tragic memorable event as our campus remembered Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. when he was shot and killed that day in Memphis.

On Sunday, April 21, 1968, we gathered at Withrow Court to walk across the stage and shake the hand of Dr. Shriver. Our parents smiled and sighed. While we moved our tassel from the right side to the left, our world changed. We were now the generation that had to change the world. Morning and afternoon ceremonies were held with Senator Mark Hatfield, Republican from Oregon, and Sargent Shriver, who helped found the Peace Corps, invited to speak.

Many of us who were not headed straight to employment or the chapel to get married, took advantage of the Miami student charter flight to Europe. Seven wonderful weeks were spent exploring lands and literature we had studied for four years. Tragedy struck again while we were gone. Robert Kennedy was assassinated on June 5, shortly before our return. Most probably remember how they found out about it, without the advantage of cell phones and the internet.

Move Out

When we left Oxford after graduation, we were laden not only with clothing, books and mementos, but we were also filled with memories of the past four years. We saw in the rearview mirror the trees, the red brick buildings, friends, memories, failures, accomplishments, personal growth and our Love and Honor for Miami, which had given so much to us. Four years of commitments and assignments in our Miami Memos had been met. We were ready for the future. “To think that in such a place, I led such a life ...�

Life after Miami: Though a retailing/marketing major, I retrained after graduation to become a primary educator and reading specialist in Medina City Schools. There was a 25th MU reunion photo taken of us 9 DGs sitting on a brick wall outside Hamilton Hall. 2 colleagues at my Medina school saw the picture in a sorority magazine sharing a college connection via MU, Ohio Wesleyan and Kent. Also, our small town with Westfield Center’s insurance company, has several Georgian architecture buildings. I am reminded of MU daily. We even built a raised Georgian brick sitting area at our home. My husband had counted and replicated MU’s 7 bricks high walls.

I would be more than willing to relive my MU college experience in a NY minute.

Retirement Date: 12/31/2014 Children: Dr. Rebecca (Bartlett) Ellis; Angela (Bartlett) Johnson Campus Memories: I spent all four of my undergraduate years as a resident of Symmes Hall in the east quad; the first as an incoming freshman, and the remaining three years as a resident assistant. I was a table waiter and dishwasher my freshman year, and enjoyed the company of the locals who worked in the kitchen, including Ma Hepler, the dining hall manager, who had quite a reputation as a taskmaster. There were linen tablecloths and napkins and formal dining in those days. On the weekends, the women from Reid Hall would dine with us. Technology finally found its way into the dorms when landline telephones were installed in each room, but we still had to use the phone booth in the hallway to make long-distance phone calls. We also had dedicated spaces in the dorm for television and for typing. My very first class at Miami was Introduction to Business, which was taught by a graduate student, James Mak. Jim’s brother, Frank, came to Miami the following year and was one of the residents in my corridor. Frank and I became lifelong friends along with his brother, Jim, and this past fall my wife and I spent a month in Honolulu with Frank and his wife, Karen, and also enjoyed time paddling outrigger canoes with Jim, who retired from the University of Hawaii, Manoa Campus, as chairman of the economics department several years ago. I also became lifelong friends with Professor Russell E. Griffith, my sophomore physiology instructor, who taught me many life skills during the course of his life of 94 years. I travelled with him to Europe in the summers of 1968, 69, and 71 and spent time visiting with him and his wonderful family in both Oxford and Sarasota, Florida over the course of many years. During my time at Miami, I was taught and mentored by Professor Raymond Moloney, Department of Foreign Language Chairman. Dr. Moloney annually took a carload of students to Cleveland to attend the world trade conference that was held there, and he was always interested in seeing his students grow and develop to their fullest potential. For me, Miami was not only about academics (for which it excelled, and still does); it was all about lasting relationships and friendships that have endured time and sustained me through challenging times. I am blessed with a loving wife of 42 years and two daughters who are nurses and grandchildren who remind me every day how grateful I am to be retired from careers in education, healthcare, and law to spend time with them. Thank you, Miami, for providing me with the strong academic and relational foundation upon which my life has been built.

Company Name: Envicom Environmental Corporation Alumni Activities: Back country hiking /camping with cultural and environmental preservation always in mind... With the Great Basin States my focus there is no end to new and fascinating discoveries...Membership and participation in a number museum programs in Nevada, California, and Utah...Keeping one of my best old friends...moving down the trail...1973 Toyota Land Cruiser...Somewhat of a chore for a shade tree mechanic like myself...

Campus Memories: Miami memories…Getting off the greyhound bus at 100 high street on a cold and snowy February morning my introduction to Miami…Just a bit on the intimidating side… That soon changed, being assigned a great roommate at Anderson Hall…Being on a bit of an athletic scholarship.. .Yeah!…Working for Mr. Z. that would be Zimkey at Harris dining hall…Really great training for future employment…Serving the morning meal, setting tables in the afternoon, and oh yes not to forget washing dishes with my fellow jocks down below in the pits…Favorite moment washing off lettuce and sending it back up with a healthy scoop of whatever or a peach covering those not so appetizing cigarette burns in the lettuce…Those treks after Saturday football games with goal post in tow …Destination… of course the Purity…

Oh that smell alone… 3.2 beer, overflowing urinals, and cigarette smoke… weak stomachs need not apply…Which brings me to apple pie , coffee, and counsel with my good friend and once roommate, Mr. Tom Rodgers … where else Al and Larry’s… Tom always provided great counsel in matters of academics and relationships…He would soon become one hell of a great attorney…

Now that sound of the Beta bells (My fraternity Beta Theta Pi) ringing out the time of day…

Now the sound of bells never fails to bring those Miami memories to my heart… Women had hours can you imagined, about as believable as the library having card files… Oh well off to our neighbor, Western college for women for some late night adventure…How about Dr. Reinhart’s geology lab in the old Brice Hall ( I believe) It was a warm spring day with large windows open and my fellow jocks ( again ) when coming to an unknown rock out the window with you…

Everybody gets a A from the lab assistant on this exam Ha!!!… You know there some many warm thoughts and feelings of my Miami years and I wish all an enjoyable (# 50 Class of1968) this June in Oxford …Because of commitments, I will miss with great disappointment the class of 1968 celebration… With Love and Honor... I wish you Well and good health…Regards Bill Bartram…

My Love of sailing begins as an apprentice rigger... ( young man’s) dream… Moving on hopefully not to bore any one reading this essay. After spending an evening dancing the night away with a couple young ladies( aspiring actresses) was invited to audition for a production by the Southern California Black Repertory Theater Company…Well since I was only white guy to show up … you guessed it …I got the part…Thus begins my by journey into an actor’s life for the several years…Black theater company for two years where I received great training and opportunity to perform…U.C.S.D. Theater Department…La Jolla Playhouse…Marquis Public Theater…San Diego Repertory Theater Co…South Coast Repertory Company ….To mention a few…

William Bartram continued

While looking for an acting job on a movie being produced in San Diego I walked into the art dept. office not casting quite by accident and used some of those acting skills to be hired on as a carpenter/ painter/ and general all around gofer under the direction of design and art director Mr.Henry Bumstead …the movie’s title (Time of Destiny) with more than one Oscar to his name Mr Bumstead became somewhat of a mentor for me…

At this point I left the endless auditions and diet of donuts coffee in the am. hot dogs and beer in pm… and in it’s place worked on construction and design for the motion picture industry 20 + or- years…While on a movie location in the Owens Valley of California I had the good fortune to meet a young woman and her family members , living on the Paiute/ Shoshone Indian reservation…My education begins…No more John Wayne movies and in it’s place to come…

Truth… !!!! Now I must admit my motives in the beginning were self- serving as in a possible relationship with the said young lady…I just looked way to much like a general Custer with my long hair, mustache, and beard, not to mention a white man’s you might say attitude…That would change along with the focus in my life….Ok if you are still reading we are approaching a completion of this thesis…So back to the University…Oh let me correct myself… forward to study again…Anthropology/Archaeology and a field school…I now find myself so fitted for my work and it’s value…I’m sure my great/great/great grandfather the naturalist and explorer, William Phillip Bartram would be proud… Thank you Miami for those 4 years of my exploration and your toleration of this student…

I taught physical education at a junior/senior high school for two years until our first son, Rob, was born. When Andy finished his commitment, we moved back to his home town of Springfield, Ohio and he went into the family insurance business. We had three more sons - Eddie, Mike, and Jeff - and when the youngest started kindergarten, I became a preschool teacher. The boys were all active in school activities and sports so we attended a lot of sporting events and I did a lot of car-pooling.

The oldest three graduated from Miami and the youngest was a Buckeye. Eddie and his wife Heidi are a Miami Merger. We have three grandchildren, Chelsea (an OSU senior), Holland and Steele. When I retired from teaching I began volunteering in my daughter-in-law’s kindergarten class. I was also able to help watch Holland and Steele until they started school full time. Now I take classes at the Y, go for walks and bike rides, volunteer at a soup kitchen, mentor through Big Brothers/Big Sisters and Rotary and spend as much time with Andy and our family as I can (and we are back to going to a lot of sporting events!).

Occupation: VP, Student Affairs and Institutional Advancement Children: Earl III, Elliott Personal Webpages: Twitter (@EarlDowling) Campus Memories: My “campus memories” actually begin before arriving! I was the first in my family to attend college. (This soon changed when my sister followed me to Miami.) Back in the day, as they say, Miami provided each incoming freshman with “essentials items to be a Miamian.” For instance, a male freshman needed a black umbrella with a wood handle. I have strong memories of my Mother shopping for these “essential items”, (“you might want to call your roommates to coordinate what each will bring. The rooms are smaller than you are accustomed.”)

Mom was so particular in her shopping so that, as a small town, rural first time college student, would fit it. Moreover, my Dad was so proud that he was sending his son “off to college.” One could see him burst with pride. Therefore, my earliest and most poignant campus memories are of those days leading up to my arrival.

Life after Miami: In 1969, I was drafted out of graduate school, entered Army Officer Candidate School and was discharged in 1971, the year Teresa and I were married. We have two sons and both sons have “awarded” us with two tremendous Grandchildren. Teresa and I have lived from Massachusetts to California where I have been fortunate enough to work on very large college and/or university campuses. Today, I am the Vice President, Student Affairs and Institutional Advancement at the second largest college or university in Illinois. Teresa is Grandmother and Chief Neighborhood Volunteer.

She hoped that I would come to Miami, and she was the perfect hostess that weekend, showing me the beautiful campus, walking uptown to see charming Oxford, taking me to the TriDelt suite for the Saturday morning ‘brunch’, etc. But what ‘sealed the deal’ was the dessert after Sunday dinner – banana splits – wow! How could I resist… and I’m SO glad that my college years were at this wonderful university. I don’t remember many more banana splits, but I’ll never forget the dear friends and teachers who made this time so special. Love and Honor!!!

Children: Adult son, Adult daughter Personal Webpages: Facebook Campus Memories: I lived in Reid Hall my freshman year. It was directly across the street from the old football stadium. Originally built as a men’s residence hall, it had the dreaded “gang showers”, hated by the women residents. We didn’t have telephones in our rooms until our sophomore year in Minnich Hall which housed my AEPhi sorority suite. During my years at Miami, women students always had curfews and had to live in dorms all 4 years. Student teaching in Cincinnati offered a much needed change of pace. Uptown Oxford didn’t offer much, but most of us will fondly remember the toasted rolls and going to The Purity for 3.2 beer and steak sandwiches. The clothing stores sold Villager outfits that were very popular in the sixties. The Tallawanda Theater was so tiny. It had a center aisle with only a few seats on each side. There was a newer movie theater in town, too. The Gaslight Restaurant was the fanciest place in town. After Freshman Year, we went on trimesters, having us finish the year in April. Since my friends from other schools didn’t get home until June, I stayed on campus for summer sessions taking some extra electives and enjoyed a quiet time with some good friends. I remember the assassination of MLK, Jr. shortly before our April 1968 graduation. Following graduation, I traveled on the PanAm “Miami Charter” to Europe for seven weeks. Bobby Kennedy was assassinated shortly before our return home.

Life after Miami: I taught elementary school in Michigan and New York. I was married for 43+ years until my husband died while scuba diving in the Galapagos Islands in 2012 (I was in Cleveland visiting my sister at the time). We lived in suburban NY for 34 years, raising a son and daughter, before moving to Charlotte NC in 2003 to be near our grandchildren. I keep busy with community and volunteer activities and enjoy time with friends and family. I am grateful every day for my life and its experiences, including the 4 years I spent at Miami University. It’s such fun to think back on it all.

I loved spending time at the Res and Tuffy’s during the week and uptown on weekends. I usually had to rush from Fisher Hall to my dorm to change into a skirt to be served dinner or attend a Kappa Delta meeting. I will never forget that from 1964 to 1968 we only had a few members of the Young Democrats.

Life after Miami: After graduation I went home to Columbus and worked at Ohio Bell who had been my summer employer. I had a high school friend who was working as a librarian and suggested that being a librarian might be something I would like. I interviewed and got hired as Assistant Librarian at the Parsons Avenue Branch in my old neighborhood. I got married in 1969 and divorced in 1981.

My daughter Michelle was born in 1971 and my son Jon in 1973. I was a stay at home mom until 1978. Ready to work and knowing that I didn’t want to teach, I went to an employment agency— Snelling & Snelling. They hired me and that started my career in Recruiting and Human Resources. I specialized in recruiting engineers and computer professionals. American Electric Power was moving its corporate headquarters from New York City to Columbus and I was one of the first people they hired to recruit new employees to replace the workers who were not going to move from New York to Columbus. I spent the next five years traveling between Columbus, New York and lots of college campuses. In 1983 I received an MA from Central Michigan University. In 1985 I was recruited

by Arthur Young—later Ernst & Young to be the Human Resources/Recruiting Manager for the Midwest Consulting Group. For two years I traveled from Columbus to New York City to help staff the east consulting office. I left EY, as a Senior Manager, after almost 10 years. In 1994 I was recruited by start-up Claremont Technology Group to recruit and manage college relations. The company grew and grew and went public. Again, I spent lots of time traveling to many college campuses to develop Claremont’s college relations program. Miami grads were a favorite of our management team. One year I recruited over twenty new Miami graduates. Both of my children had graduated from The Ohio State University and moved to California. In June, 1997 I packed up my Jeep, quit my job and moved to San Francisco. I joined Match.com and met my Domestic Partner, John Corbin. During my five years in San Francisco I worked for many dot-com start-ups. I had accumulated enough stock certificates to wallpaper a room. From 1994-1998 I was privileged to serve as a board member of the Miami University Alumni Board. In 2002, the market started going south and I moved to Sparks, Nevada to join John Corbin who had retired in 1999. I was hired by a Sprint affiliate, Ubiquitel. I was the Human Resources Manager for Northern Nevada and Northern California. After Sprint bought back all of their affiliates and closed most affiliate offices, I retired. Now, I volunteer as a Community Organizer for the Washoe County Democratic Party and supplement my income as a gambler. I garden, play golf, visit my children and grandchildren and go to protest marches that support my views. I also have a part-time job conducting surveys for the US Census Bureau. In November, 2017 our almost 20 year old cat passed away and we were heartbroken. A few months later we saw some kittens on the news that had been rescued from the Ventura, California fire. We got one. It is an adventure having a new kitten. My daughter lives in Encino, California with her husband and three daughters. My son lives in Redwood City, California with his wife and two sons. There are fewer than 100 Miami grads close to us in Reno, but we did manage to have a couple of bowl watch parties. I miss having an active alumni association chapter close by. I met many wonderful people when I traveled and attended chapter functions in Columbus, New York City and San Francisco.

Campus Memories: Thinking of my time at Miami 50 years ago brings back memories of new friends, a few who have remained close over the years; some late nights cramming for exams; the culinary delights of Sangy Man and toasted rolls at Tuffy’s. It was quite simply a great education in a wonderful environment.

Life after Miami: After graduation, I entered Navy OCS and subsequently spent 3 years serving as a missile officer aboard USS Long Beach (CGN9), including a Vietnam deployment. While in the Navy, I married Martha Nesbitt (’68). We shared a very happy life together raising two daughters, and later having the joy of six wonderful grandchildren. Sadly, Martha died in 2015 after a long illness. Following naval service, I began a career in banking in New York City while also earning an MBA at New York University. I worked for Citibank in a variety of positions in corporate lending. We traveled extensively as a family having spent 14 years on foreign assignments in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. I retired in 2003 as Vice President/Senior Credit Officer, and Martha and I moved to Williamsburg, Virginia, a community we came to love. I now split my time between Williamsburg and Estero, Florida. I play a lot of golf and make frequent trips to New Jersey and Connecticut to be with my daughters and grandchildren.

Children: Robert, Scott, Christine Campus Memories: From the moment we drove into Oxford and I saw the beautiful campus, I felt I was home. I loved dorm life in Minnich and am still friends with girls met while living there. My teachers were all knowledgeable about their subjects and caring about their students.

One class in particular stands out. It was Ohio History with Dr. Shriver. Now why did a girl from New Jersey take a class about Ohio history? Yes, it fulfilled a requirement, but he taught me so much about history with his enthusiasm and sense of humor. I’m afraid I’ve forgotten the names of other professors who broadened my horizons, but I still remember their faces and the interest they showed in their students.

Life after Miami: Wil and I met at Miami and married in Honduras in August 1968. He worked as a chemist and I taught first grade in the American school in San Pedro Sula, Honduras for one year. Then we returned stateside and I taught 2nd grade, and was a Title I teacher in Madison, New Jersey for 4 years. I had planned to return to teach after our children started school, but life has a way of altering our plans. I became the caregiver for my uncle who lived to be in his 90’s and then my mother who lived to be 102. I was very blessed to have been able to do that.

I became friends with other students from all walks of life and many areas of the country. Young adults met at Miami from everywhere. I had many good friends from the Chicago area, New York and of course, every large city and many small towns in Ohio. Whitefish Bay, a suburb of Milwaukee, was well represented, as there were four of us from our graduating class and ten in total from our high school. Being “away from home,” it was great to see a familiar face around campus (and Miami was still small enough that we did see each other). It was at Miami that I really developed my leadership skills that empowered me to be successful in my chosen career. I started early in Student Government/Residence Hall administration and served as the President of Porter Hall (freshman year), Hahne Hall (the year it opened was my junior year) and Stoddard Hall (senior year). Although I was in the Honors Program and took many challenging classes (Embryology with Dr.Allensbach where he made us draw everything as he did with our colored pencils, Ron Wiley’s Physiology, Organic chemistry), I have to admit I also took Montgomery’s Classics, Physics, “Stevie Soc,” and Dr. Sherwin’s Marriage and the Family! Social memories, of course, include time uptown (the original ”face time”) at the Purity, Mac and Joe’s and the C.I. Drinking 3.2 beer in those characteristic glasses (not sure I’d say that now about 3.2 beer) was great! Drinking age was 21 in Wisconsin so now it was legal to drink beer! Shopping at Jack’s Corner as skirt and sweater sets were very in! Women (other than Art majors) didn’t wear jeans and we all had to dress for dinner in our freshman dining halls. One of the greatest things now is to reminisce with friends from Miami but one of the hardest things is to find those good friends who seem to have “disappeared.” Travel has become a big part of my life and my introduction to foreign travel came with Dr. Rusty Griffith’s European tour. There were at least 6 (perhaps more) from the class of ’68 (Barbie Boat, Arlene Sirkin, Lynn Northwood, Alex Young, Rick Heald and myself ) along with a friend from high school who attended Northwestern U. We were gone for 7 weeks, traveled from Scotland to England, France, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands. All for $1200 (airfare, Eurail, hotels, tours included. It makes my head spin thinking of it! We traveled by Eurail and spent about every third night on the train. The accommodations were great in the cities and we often had breakfast included in the European tradition but also had dinners included on occasion.

After an 18-hour train ride to Lisbon, we were treated to a complete four-course dinner. The café au lait was superb. However, we also had a terrible tragedy as Alex Young was killed in a train accident when we were in Sweden. It was a rainy day and he and Lynn Northwood decided to travel south by train to Odense, Denmark, the village where Hans Christian Andersen was born.

We were all devastated by such a loss and it still is hard to imagine how Rusty Griffith shouldered not only speaking with Alex’s parents but also continuing on with the trip. I’d love to find my two missing bridesmaids (Marcia Anderson and Sandy Gordon) and I need to recognize my roommate Senior year, Mary McNamara, who went to Dental School about the time I went to Medical School. She was tragically killed in an automobile accident in 1990.

JoAnn Yampol Royhans continued

Life after Miami: While living in Cincinnati with Jill Shrader, I completed an internship in Medical Technology at the University of Cincinnati Hospital. It was there through mutual (Miami) friends that I met my husband, John Rohyans, Miami ’66. We married in September 1969 and moved to Columbus where we raised our four children (Kristin born in ’71, Kerry in ’75, Kevin in ’78 and Katie in ’81). While working as a medical technologist at the Ohio State University Hospital, I decided to apply to medical school (seeing all those guys who borrowed my science notes at Miami going to Med School)! I entered the OSU Medical School in 1975 when Kristin was four years old. Kerry was born as a first year student, Kevin as a third year (during my Clinical Pediatric rotation) and Katie when I was a third year Resident at Columbus Children’s (now Nationwide Children’s Hospital). Being 29 years old when I started, a Medical technologist and a mom gave me a different perspective and work ethic than some of the younger students. My science background was coming to life. Despite being a pediatrician in a private practice, I was able to watch our children participate in numerous sporting events over many years. Almost seven years after I joined a practice, another doctor and I formed our own practice corporation, Olentangy Pediatrics, Inc., in Northwest Columbus that is to this day an extremely successful practice. I retired from that group in 2008 but continued to work in pediatric medicine for several years at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus and in our vacation home, Sandpoint, Idaho. We are an active skiing family traveling to multiple resorts from New England to California, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Idaho. We settled on buying a place in Sandpoint, Idaho (named by Rand McNally and USA Today as the “most beautiful small town in America”) in 2006 and now spend winter skiing and snowshoeing and summer kayaking, hiking and cycling.

The mountains are beautiful and we have a huge lake, Lake Pend Oreille, right down the street.

We still find time to travel to Europe, walk the Camino de Santiago in Spain, South America and southern Africa. My husband, John (‘66), practiced law (OSU ’69) with Porter Wright, a Columbus firm for 40 years. We see several of John’s Miami Beta Fraternity brothers in Columbus and while traveling: Russ Morgan, Bryan Loveless, Pete Barnhart and Tom Egan. John’s brother in law is also a Miami ‘69 Beta. We are also fortunate to be able to support not only Miami University with an endowment for the Mallory (pre-med) Center and the College of Business and but also Nationwide Children’s Hospital with a Visiting Professorship along with several other organizations. It’s been a busy but very happy 50 years since graduation.

Children: Kristin, Matthew Campus Memories: Football and basketball games; how the changing colors of the tree leaves in the fall and the snow in the winter made the campus incredibly gorgeous; excellent professors and engaging students.

Life after Miami: After graduation, I attend graduate school and was commissioned in the Air Force, serving nearly 8 years. In June 1969, I married Pat Eichhorn, Miami class of ’69 (we will celebrate our 50th next year). We relocated to Florida and then Ohio. After our time in Ohio, we went back to school and I received a law degree and Pat received a PhD in clinical psychology. Then, on to Houston for several years where I was in practice and Pat did a post-doc.

We ultimately moved to Evanston, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, where we have resided for 40 years. My legal practice has focused on the trial of intellectual property matters and transactions involving IP assets. Over the years, I have been fortunate to represent both Fortune 50 companies and start-ups and hold partnerships in several Big Law firms. Pat has been a professor at Loyola University since we move to the Chicago area. We are still deciding when, if ever, to retire.

Life after Miami: I’ve lived in Alabama, Alaska, California, Utah and Washington. I worked in a number of different fields before I fulfilled a long-held ambition by attending law school. I graduated in 1994, magna cum laude at Brigham Young University Law School in Provo Utah.

Occupation: Retired teacher, administrator. Currently elementary school librarian.

Company Name: Eastwood Elementary School as well as co-owner of Carlyle Gift and Flower Personal Webpages: www.carlyleshop.com Campus Memories: My years at Western were wonderful. The people - classmates, professors, staff were wonderful. The diversity was so important to the level of discourse we enjoyed in classes, meals and lounges. The International Dinners we enjoyed at the Lodge were such fun and provided new experiences and adventures in cultural heritages among classmates. I so appreciated the level of education offered me at Western. It has served me well throughout my career(s). I am a lifelong learner and proud Western alum.

Life after Miami: After graduation from Western, I worked as a Research Associate in the Sociology Department at Case Western Reserve University. I then earned an M.A.T. at Oberlin College. My teaching career began at Eastwood School in Oberlin. Eventually, I became the principal of the building, serving for 14 years. Then I became the Director of Pupil Services for Oberlin City Schools until my retirement in 2002. By 2004, I had enough retirement and became the librarian at Eastwood, my home away from home. As of this writing I am in my 45th year with the Oberlin schools and enjoy the memories of working with hundreds, perhaps thousands of students over the year. Many of my first students have grandchildren at Eastwood now and I find that I enjoy working with this generation perhaps more than the first. Oberlin has been my home since 1969. I have enjoyed the community and college town life. Having many opportunities to serve the community, I’ve served on many, many committees, social services boards, Community Services Councils, Boys and Girls Club and other youth and family oriented causes. In 1986 I received the Lorain County Women of Achievement Award and in 1998 I was awarded the Oberlin College Distinguished Community Service Award. My life has been a good one, filled with interesting challenges and many friends and a loving family.

At age 92, there weren’t many of her classmates there, but those who attended had great stories to tell!

Life after Miami: Following graduation, I pursued a master’s in Library Science at the University of Michigan. I shared an apt. with fellow Miami ‘68 grads Jo Oberlin and Peggy Goodenow.

Ann Arbor was a bit of a shock after sheltered Oxford, but I loved cheering for a Big Ten Team especially when it was announced that our very own Bo would be leading the Wolverines. When I was a freshman in Dorsey Hall, I used to watch from my window as Bo coached the Redskins in the field out front. Now I lived down the street from where he would manage a team in one of the largest stadiums in the country. I am not a true Miami Merger but feel like I should qualify. I met my husband, Bob Touchton, on the Miami charter trip to Europe right after we graduated.

Sharon Galeese Touchton continued

My MU travel mates and I were in Bergen, Norway. A US Navy ship was docked there. One afternoon an older gentleman in a Navy uniform approached us and asked if we were from the States. He identified himself as the chaplain on the USS Warrington and invited us to have lunch with some of the junior officers on the ship the next day. My husband was one of those junior officers! He ended up coming to the U of Michigan the following year for an MBA and that is when we really got to know each other. Miami did their part by forwarding his initial letter to me to my parents’ house even though I had already graduated. From Ann Arbor we moved to Tucson, Arizona where Bob graduated from the University of Arizona Law School. We later spent 11 years in Louisville, KY where our son was born. In 1985 we moved to the Cincinnati area. I spent my 32 year career as a school librarian, K-12. Bob finished up as an administrative law judge with Social Security. In his retirement, he teaches Business Law at his undergraduate alma mater, Wilmington College. Our son lives nearby and is a graphic designer.
