HOLLAND SCHOLARS ARE SELECTED The highest-ranking members of the sophomore, junior and senior classes have been awarded the Holland Scholarships for 1985-1986. These fulltuition scholarships, established in 1891, are funded from a bequest from M rs. Frances]. Holland, the daughter of Bishop Thomas Brownell, the founder of Trinity College.

The winners this year are three Connecticut residents: David R. Fontaine '86 of Bristol, Susanne C. Hupfer '87 of Wethersfield, and Thomas H. Speight '88 of Middletown.

Fontaine, an economics and American studies major, has been a resident assistant in his dormitory and has participated in Trinity's internship program. He is a 1982 graduate of St. Paul's Catholic High School in Bristol.

Hupfer, a mathematics and computer science major, was also awarded the Holland Scholarship last year. She has won prizes for excellence in mathematics and German, and is a member of the Society of Women Engineers. A National Merit Scholar, Hupfer is a 1983 graduate of Wethersfield High School.

Speight, who has not decided on his major, is a 1984 graduate of Xavier High School in Middletown.

SUMMER SEES CAMPUS CHANGES Everywhere on campus this summer, crews were busy working on renovation and repair projects: Elton dormitory was totally refurbished; a child care center was carved out of the basement of the Life Sciences Center, the Chapel exterior received a thorough cleaning, and smaller projects were also completed.

Results from a summer-long project to renovate Elton dormitory would be immediately evident to some 100 students when they moved into the fourstory dorm on Summit Street at the

LeCOMPTE WINDOWS BRING NEW LUSTER TO CHAPEL In 1942, at the age of 17, Rowan LeCompte completed his first stained glass window for the Trinity Chapel, a small lancet above the baptismal font.

A Baltimore nati ve, he had visited the Chapel every summer from the age of 15 and, in that summer of '42, facing the wartime draft and expecting th at he would not return, he began to think about giving a window to the Chapel which he loved dearly. He met with President Remsen B. Ogilby, submitted a design which met with his approval, and the window was installed in November of that year.

Six years later, follo wing wartime service in the Corps of Engineers and in five European campaigns, he designed a memori al window to Ogilby, depicting his fri endship with Bishop Brent, as o ne of several commemorating famous fri endships in the North Chapel. LeCompte would also go on to achieve distinction for his designs in some 50 American churches and schools. H is work in th e National Cathedral in Washington, where he has completed six mosaic murals and 36 windows, including the d azzl ing Western Rose, comprise the largest area of stained glass by o ne artist in the building.

Now, some 40 years after that auspicio us beginning to a brilliant career, Rowan LeCompte is once again designing for the Trinity Chapel. In September, he was to install two lancet windows, two that shine "like jewels, " in the words of the artist. The donor for the windows is Miss Louise Rathbone of Greenwich, CT, who made the gift in memory of her father, the Rev . Frank M. Rathbo ne, C lass of 1906 .

The two windows are "bright and cheerful and flower-like," according to LeCompte, and are also "vehicles" fo r two poems by 17th century English Metaphysical poet George H erbert, "Easter" and "Love." Both of these poems were part of Ralph V aughanWilliams's Five Mystical Songs, "a glori ous piece of music," in LeCompte's judgment. The wi ndow bearing the Easter poem, which begins "Rise heart, thy Lord is risen," has as its

ROW AN LeCOMPTE works on North Porch windows, Trinity College Chapel, in his studio, Waterford, Virginia, summer, 1985 . . dominating movement a red passage which rises fl amelikc up the center.

The Love poem, which begins "Love bade me welcome: yet my soul drew back," is inscribed o n a window which is primarily blue, conveying the idea of love descending, like the sky , from heaven. The windows are on eye level, so viewers can read the words of the poems, with their original 1633 typography and spelling, lettered in the glass. But, with three stanzas and 18 lines in each, LeCompte has had to work in an incredibly small scale. T he windows are just 8 " wide by 38 " high, and each contains 250 or more tiny pieces of glass. The glass comes from all over t he world - England , France, Germany, the state of Was hingtonand even includes a bit of Sandwich glass which LeCompte bought in Connecticut in 1940. "I collect elegant little bits that I can't bear to part with, " he says, "some that might be sm all but are too beautiful to throw away. These windows, with their tiny pieces, hard to hold o n to, really are like a collection of gems , a garden of precious stones."

The creatio n of the two lan cets, which LeCompte says are "by far the most complicated windows in the Chapel," has clearly become an extensive project, albeit one he descri bes as "full of devotion and delight ... I had no idea it would become so," he says, "yet it certainl y h as , pa rticu larl y in terms of scale. It has taken ever so long to do, three to fo ur months, which doesn't include the time spent thinking about it."

There are several stages in the creation of stained glass windows. First, there is conception , for which, Le-

Compte says, he simply waits. "]wait for a fresh idea, " he says, "when I will sec th e window more or less co mplete .

This has to precede the making of a design, when I paint the design o n a board . Then I develop full-size drawings for the window, showing shape, size and color, and choose the glass for each tiny segment. Then th e glass is cu t to fit exactl y the paper patterns of my full-size draw ing. Precise fit, especiall y here, is indispensable. The painting, to be done in black lines on colo red glass - in this case, the lettering- is fired in an electric ki ln until the paint and glass are fused together.

Lastly, th e morsels of colored glass are assemb led in lead - in this case , lead and copper, because the pieces are so tiny. The windows are composed in ve rtical panels, and then installed."

LeCompte planned to install the windows in the C h apel over a threed ay period in mid-September, another unusual aspect to this project. H e h asn't actually installed awindow since 1962 . But, because these windows are so tiny, he wanted to do t he job himself. H e may be eager to see them in t heir final home, where he notes they will be "cheerful and transparent .. . light will come in through them." . In the 43 years si nce he fi rst installed a window at the Trinity Chapel, LeCompte says he hasn't been back often from his home in Waterford, VA. H owever, he notes, "It is a building I love wit hout reserve ," repeating the words of the Chapel's donor , Wilham G. Mather, o n the character he hoped the building would have.

start of the academic year. A largescale renovation of the 3 7-year-old dorm was slated to be completed by late August, according to Siu-Chim Chan, director of buildings and grounds. The bathrooms were redone with new plumbing and blue tile walls.

New electrical and lighting systems, as well as a new hot water heating system, were also installed. The smoke and fire alarms were updated. Tile floors replaced old carpeting, walls were given a fresh coat of white paint, and desks and doors were repaired. A section of the roof was reinforced and enclosed with a railing in order to form a rooftop terrace for students' use.

"It's definitely spruced up a lot," says Tina Dow, director of residential services. "I think the students will be pleased." The contractor was DunnRite Construction Co., Inc. of Hartford.

Another large project was the transformation of a 2,500 square foot area in the basement of the Life Sciences Center into the Trinity College Community Child Center for infants and preschool children. The facility opened its doors to children of Trinity employees and area residents in early September.

The center bears no resemblance to the basement storage space it once was. Windows and entrances were cut into the building. Plumbing, interior walls, lighting, tile and carpeted floors were installed. The space was divided into areas for about 60 infants, toddlers and preschoolers, an office, sdH room and bathroom. An observation room will be used by faculty and students from Trinity's psychology department as a classroom. Plans call for the construction of an outdoor, enclosed play area complete with sandbox, climbing equipment and playhouse. This construction project was also done by Dunn-Rite Construction Co., Inc. of Hartford.

The center was established because of the well-documented shortage of high-quality, affordable day care in the Hartford area, according to Dina Anselmi, assistant professor of psychology and chairwoman of the Child Center board. The center is operated as a private, non-profit organization by its own board of directors and has the full support of the Trinity admin-

Another summer project involved the redesign and repair of the roof of Life Sciences Center to correct problems with leaks which had occurred during the past five to ten years, Chan says. The work was done by Eagle Sheetmetal Works Inc. of West Hartford.

The exterior of the Chapel received its first thorough cleaning since it was built in the 1930s. The painstaking

process, which began in mid-June, took the entire summer and was done by the Joseph Gnazzo Company of Bristol.

The firm has done similar work for other New England colleges, the Connecticut Historical commission and the Preservation Society of Newport County, R.I. Removal of the English ivy and Virginia creeper vines which had grown up the sides of the Chapel was the first step. While some may miss the ivy, its

Along the Walk Along the Walk Along the Walk Along the Walk removal was necessary to prevent further damage to the limestone surface of the Chapel, according to Elwood P. Harrison, director of purchasing for buildings and grounds. The vines and ivy had grown into the limestone face of the building and left obvious scars, Harrison says.

Once the surface was bare, the entire exterior from the ground to the top of the tower was cleaned with high pressure water. Loose mortar, broken limestone and slate roof tiles were repaired or replaced. "She sure needed a bath ... Now, if you stand on the soccer field and look up at the Chapel in the sunlight, it looks like a new building," Harrison says.

Rooms located in two of the College's older buildings were also restored this past summer. The woodwork and walls of the Hamlin Hall undercroft were refurbished; the room will be used for social functions. The basement space, used most recently for food storage, was the site of the Cave from the 1930s to 1960, when Mather Campus Center was built. The restoration work on the undercroft was completed by Church Manufacturers' Guild Inc. of West Hartford.

Also restored was Goodwin Lounge, which has floor-to-ceiling oak paneling and a fireplace. The room, located in the basement of Goodwin dormitory, has been used in the past as a lecture and seminar room. The contractors were Adamo Enterprises Inc. of Johnston, R.I. Earlier this year, the Funston Court garden area near the Library was replanted, and a brick walk and benches were added. These improvements were the gift of G. Keith Funston '32.

NEW REGULATIONS ON ALCOHOL USE AFFECT ALUMNI This fall, for the first time, College regulations involving the use of alcohol on campus will directly affect alumni and guests.

Effective September 1, people attending home athletic events will be prohibited from bringing large containers of alcoholic beverages into the stands or spectator areas. The regulation is in-

eluded in the College's newly-revised alcohol use policy and was approved by President James F. English, Jr. and senior members of the administration in late August. A committee composed of students and administrators recommended revisions in the alcohol use policy in the wake of state legislation hiking the legal drinking age in Connecticut from 20 to 21. The new law, which was slated to take effect September 1, contains a grandfather clause allowing persons who had reached the age of 20 prior to September 1, 1985 to drink legally.

Although the revised policy is firmly established, College administrators are continuing to work on the procedures necessary to implement the changes, Winer notes. Any changes in the operation of the campus Pub, where beer and wine are sold, will be made after students' ideas are solicited.

Members of the dean of students' office and/ or security guards will be posted at the gates of home athletic events to enforce the prohibition against large containers of alcoholic beverages. Signs stating the regulation will also be posted at the entrances to athletic facilities. The regulations define large containers as "kegs, coolers, cases, large bottles and any item other than one that can be carried comfortably and openly on one's person."

While a can or two of beer would be acceptable, a six pack or a quart of vodka would not, according to Dean of Students David Winer.

This is the third time in four years that the legal drinking age has been raised, and the latest change will mean that an estimated two-thirds of the student body will not be able to drink legally. With the increased impact on the student body, the College has intensified its efforts in the enforcement of its regulations on the use of alcohol.

Commenting on the revised poli<Zy, Winer said he believes it is moderate and enforceable, and one that should come as no surprise to students in light of the attention which has been focused on the issue in recent years.

Alcoholic beverages will continue to be served at campus events, but the College expects that students or faculty hosting parties will make an effort to determine who among their guests are minors, and refrain from serving them

alcohol. Another policy change requires that trained bartenders must be used at College-sponsored events which are primarily of a social nature.

In addition, food and non-alcoholic beverages must also be made available whenever alcoholic drinks are served.

"We're not going to do body searches or be policemen," Winer said. "We're going to use our judgment and we hope students and others also use good judgment. I think the policy is one that can be enforced." He added, "We're interested in whether people are adhering to state law, but we're more interested in their behavior- whether it's considerate, responsible and sensitive . .. We are not going 'dry.' We feel our students are mature enough and responsible enough to obey moderate regulations, so we don't have to go to an extreme and go dry."

In the event that a student does violate College regulations, the penalty will be decided according to the individual case, as in the past. Intoxication in no way releases an individual from full responsibility for his or her actions.

The individual whose drinking repeatedly leads to substandard behavior may be dealt with more severely because of the predictable relationship _ between his or her use of alcohol and the behavior that follows: the amended regulation states. The College provides professional counseling and medical attention in cases where alcohol-related, substandard behavior occurs.

Summer Student Government Association President James P. Sickinger '86 has termed the revised policy acceptable.

The other items in the alcohol use regulations remain essentially unchanged from those adopted in 1983 when the legal drinking age was raised from 19 to 20.

COHEN BOOK FUND ESTABLISHED A book fund for the purchase of fine arts books for the library has been established at the College in memory of John H. Cohen, Jr. '52. Started by a cousin, Dr. Walter L.

ADMISSIONS SEEKS ALUMNI VOLUNTEERS The T rinii:y admissions office has a new recruitment target: alumni. And, while the admissions staff's primary mission will always be attracting the interest of college-bound 17-year-olds, the current effort to bring more alumni into the Trinity Alumni Admissions Program (T AAP) is nonetheless an important one.

"There are critical points in the ad-

missions process where T AAP alumni committees can make a difference," says Jane Reynolds, assistant director of admissions and coordinator of the program. In the period between January and April, for example, the T AAP committee members can help by phoning candidates in their areas who have applied for admission to Trinity. Then, there is the "most critical moment of influence," according to Reynolds, which comes after April 10, when candidates learn that they have been ac-

DEVELOPMENT ADDS TWO PROFESSIONALS Two additional fundraising professionals have joined the development office staff, and some responsibilities have been reassigned within the department.

Laurence S. Duffy has been named d irector of major gifts. Most recently director of development for the Graduate School of Education at Harvard, Duffy was regional director of the Campaign for Dartmouth from 1977 to 1983. He is a graduate of Dartmouth and holds a master's degree in public administration from Syracuse University.

Carol C. Thompson has been appointed corporation and foundation officer. Thompson was formerly executive director of Help the Aged, an international charity with U.S. headquarters in Washington, D.C. She has also served as campaign coordinator for the American Red Cross chapter in Washington and director of development for the National Eye Foundation.

Thompson is a graduate of the University of Maryland.

Catherine A. Cosgrove '83 has been appointed assistant director of annual giving. A member of the development staff since 1984, she will assume the responsibility for alumni fundraising for the classes of 1980 to 1985 and for phonothons.

SCULPTOR John Zito, Jr. was the subject of considerable attention on the Long Walk this summer, as he carved a likeness of the two-headed god Janus into an existing corbel of Seabury Hall. The sculpture, commemorating coeducation at Trinity, was the gift of the Class of '85. Here, Zito works on carving the corbel, with a clay model executed by Kitty Brims '85 resting atop the corbel as guide.

cepted by the College, and they must decide whether to attend.

"The T AAP committees have been helpful in the past in bringing qualified applicants to us and in their organized activities in these various steps in the admissions process," Reynolds says. Established about six years ago by the National Alumni Association and members of the Trinity administration as the A lumni Admissions Support Program, the T AAP currently has its largest committees in place in Cleveland, Philadelphia, Washington, and New York, with perhaps 50 alumni involved in all four areas, according to Reynolds. In the last year or so, she has met with the T AAP alumni around the country, and she plans to increase those visits in the future.

The program's five-year plan calls for the addition of numerous metropolitan areas around the country to the existing base. In the next year, Reynolds will be concentrating on Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, C leveland, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Atlanta, and South Florida. Alumni volunteers are particularly oeeded in Chicago, Boston, and San Francisco.

The T AAP's goal, as she sees it, is to be "another arm of admissions. The demand for information from our office is phenomenal - we answer some 10,000 inquiries per year- and our staff time can only go so far," she says.

"Through the T AAP we can employ the talents of interested alumni, and give them good information about the College to use in their recruitment efforts. Then, there will be someone in the community who is a Trinity representative, which is particularly important in locations distant from the College, where members of the admissions office can't be all the time."

The program benefits alumni, too, who show an interest in the College and want to volunteer their time for the program. Some enjoy having the opportunity to work with younger people, Reynolds notes.

The T AAP of the future will include a full-fledged interviewing program, and specific responsibilities for area chairpersons. In the fall, members of the T AAP area committees will meet with guidance counselors at local high schools and identify themselves as Trinity representatives. At key points

in the adm issions process they will telephone leading candidates and talk to them about the College. They may host parties where current Trinity undergraduates can talk with prospective students, or host a dinner for area guidance counselors.

Area committee members in the T AAP already have a handbook of information about the College, a publication Reynolds plans to improve. She would also like to produce a newsletter which would offer periodic updates, and eventually incorporate a program of visits back to the campus by T AAP volunteers.

Images of Hemingway

By P~ul Smith

suspect that there are few people in the literate world - and not many more in the illiterate world - who do not have some impression of Ernest Hemingway. So much is known of him, he seems unavoidable. He has become part of our public domain; and his name, like a common drug, is now a generic term.

Within the wide circle of his life, few who knew him have not had their say. Among his own family, two sisters, his brother, one son, and his widow have written books about him; and what his widow forgot or kept to herself has been filled in with a biography of all four of his wives and a gaggle of his alleged mistresses. Any number of his close friends and distant acquaintances, some petulant and some sycophantic, have written memoirs. A Cuban has written a book proving that Hemingway was - a Cuban. There is no end to it: following the "definitive" biography in 1969, three others have appeared, and I know of at least four other scholars with biographies in press or to be published in the next year or so.

It is no wonder, then, that our impressions of the man have nearly obscured our vision of his work. Let me call a witness from the past. She was clearly the first person ever to have an impression of Ernest Hemingway - his mother. That impression and, it seems, every other fact of his first twenty years she recorded in five substantial scrapbooks. But it is her later impressions in the fall of 1926 that I wish to call on here. The Sun Also Rises had been published in October; and Oak Park, Illinois, was resonant with the murmur of literary discussion groups and newspaper reviews condemning that salacious book. Grace Hemingway wrote to her fallen son that she felt it was a "doubtful honor" to have won some fame and fortune with what she called "one of the filthiest books of the year." How she knew it was one of the filthiest books of the year can be explained. She was an innocent member of a book club led by a reviewer for the Chicago Tribune, a woman called Fanny Butcher, a name that delighted Ernest Hemingway. Grace Hemingway was appalled at her son's use of the words damn and bitch, but ever the merciful mother she ended her letter with the reassurance that "I love you, dear, and still believe that you will do something worthwhile."

Some months later Hemingway answered that letter with a lesson for his parents, and all the Fanny Butchers of this world, on the crucial distinction between an author and his characters, his subject and his attitude toward it. But she had opened an old wound; and he

went on to suggest that there was perhaps not much difference between the behavior of those spiritless wanderers in The Sun Also Rises and the decorously hidden lives of"some of the best Oak Park families," and he knew this, he said, having heard in his youth raised voices behind closed doors. The more I read of the family letters the more I side with the son in this quarrel. But that is beside the point; for his mother's impressions of the wayward Hemingway are still with us, especially at the extremities of our outrage or our worship of the author: we still make the quick and easy identification of the man and the artist, the life and the fiction.

Nor am I innocent of this confusion; for even now, knowing what I think I know, I am not sure of the line between the man and his fiction. I think that every reader attracted to a writer, and especially those for whom that attraction becomes, however accidentally, a compelling part of one's career, must find some strong affinity first between himself and that writer. I see nothing sordid or clinical in that, for to understand writers to the degree demanded of worthwhile criticism, one must, I believe, somehow live within them and sense the world the way they do. So just as saints imitate the passion of Christ, and married couples tend to look like one another, and dog-owners look like their dogs, so Jamesian critics behave like James, Faulknerians like Faulkner, and- God help the Hemingway critic.

Hemingway's image was more attractive to my generation, coming of age in the 1940s, than to the generation matured by the Depression in the 1930s.

Hemingway was, after all, out of political favor in the '30s, living the high life and writing a book about a safari financed by his second wife's inheritance from a fortune made in cosmetics. But in the 1940s that made little difference; the Depression by then had faded for me, at least - to memories of my father walking in an NRA parade, my puzzlement over the fact that we owned a Hoover vacuum but were still Democrats, and the recurrent nausea twice a week when we had creamed codfish on baked potatoes.

So the 1940s turned us inevitably to Hemingway.

Like him we had our own war to grow up in; it took us away from home and homely values. Like him we came back, some to colleges where boys who had fought in ROTC programs were wearing beanies and singing fraternity songs, and where our elders told us how hard things had been on the home front. After

And for all the flamboyant and excessive individualism in his public image, there was a quiet, pure - almost puritanic - streak in his private character.

college - for it was free - we fled the homdand, usually to Paris and there to the myth of the exemplar of the expatriate writer, Ernest Hemingway. We did not read him, for we did not have to. We lived the good life, as a poet has said, "stubbly with goodness."

We wore berets, lived on sausages, bread, and wine, and read Baudelaire in the sun of the T uileries to perfect our French with the concierge's daughter. And once a day we slipped into the American Express Office for the mail - and the check - from home. Some of us learned to write; I learned not to, and came home to the next best thing - to teach.

Remembering those years, I think I know now, late in my career, why I chose to learn what I could of Hemingway's years in Paris in his early twenties. j\nd I know, too, why I am interested in his memoir of those years, A Moveable Feast, written when he was in his late fifties.

What I have been reading is the evidence from those two periods in Hemingway's life. For the 1920s there are the notebooks, the private memoirs, the hundreds of unpublished letters, and - most important - the thousands of manuscript pages of the stories from In Our Time (1925) and Men Without Women (1927) and the novels, The Sun Also Rises (1926) and A Farewell to Arms (1929). From the late 1950s there are, again, letters and notes, and the late manuscripts of A Moveable Feast. Sometimes those two collections of materials support one another; more often they are contradictory and so, singularly revealing.

Hemingway came rather reluctantly to the writing of A Moveable Feast in the fall of 1957. He had always said that any writer who turned to h is memoirs was admitting that he had lost the gift for fiction. But three motives overcame that reluctance; and each of those motives was embodied in the figure of a woman· one, an older and peremptory woman with a sort of sibylline wisdom; the second, a loving wife and nurturing mother to his child; and the third, a mysterious and inspiring young girl.

Taken together they are Hemingway's triplegoddess, as Robert Graves would have it.

First, consider the wise old crone, Gertrude Stein. In the fifties Hemingway had a score to settle with her. She had published The

Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas some twenty years before and said some things he did not like. Some were false: for example, that she and Sherwood Anderson had made him what he was and, worse, had taught him what he knew about boxing and bullfighting. But some things came close to the truth. She remarked once that Hemingway "looks like a modern but he smells of the museums." And she meant the literary museums which Hemingway insisted he had never entered. He was somewhat less troubled by another conversation she reported: She said, "Hemingway, after all you are ninety percent Rotarian."

[To which he replied,] "Can't you make that eighty percent?"

"No," she said regretfully, "I can't." [Then she added,] "After all, he did ... have moments of disinterestedness."

Stein was right on both counts. Reconsidering his fiction and his own extensive reading- his library held over 10,000 volumes- one can catch more than a whiff of the museum of his literary heritage.

And for all the flamboyant and excessive individualism in his public image, there was a quiet, pure - almost puritanic - streak in • his private character. Rotarian Oak Park · left its imprint on him. His assertive mas\ culinity and his passion for the wilderness and the crafts of hunting and fishing- for which he is now con:/ demned or questioned - were in his • youth affirmed by the most imposing figure of that time when Teddy Roosevelt stopped in Oak Park to show his films of Africa. And later Hemingway would follow that president's sweat-and-leather morality into the African plains, the Gulf Stream, and the hills of Montana. Even the infamy of Hemingway's four marriages may argue for a more conventional than promiscuous character. As William Faulkner said after Hemingway's death, "[His] mistake was that he thought he had to marry all of them."

(A mistake, incidentally, that Faulkner never made.)

The larger importance of Gertrude Stein was that she represented that older generation of writers in Paris from whom he meant learn the craft of fiction. And the chapters

11

of A Moveable Feast in which she figures offer a pattern for all the others in which he turns to an older writer for advice on writing. In each, the ea~ly young innocent abroad approaches the sophisticated literary master, is given a stern and complex lesson, and then returns to his garret to follow the simple rules that seemed to be emerging from his own practice.

(As Ezra Pound said, "His goddamned instincts are always right.")

What is often missed in these chapters is that the issue is always one of language and literature and often that of the moral assumptions implicit in the ways we talk and write.

On one occasion he visits Stein with a manuscript of his early story, "Up in Michigan." She read it and pronounced it inaccrochable, a French term for a painting that is offensive to public taste and therefore cannot be displayed or hung on a hook in a gallery. Stein objected that the story included some rather breathless and exclamatory dialogue during a sexual climax, and she crossed it out. Hemingway asked

wrote, very clearly, "Pay no attention!" Those few colorful lines on a yellowed page confirm an anecdote I want to believe is true for what it says of Hemingway's apprenticeship. He sat like a dutiful student and watched his instructor mark h is essay with a fashionable pen, only to return to his room and, as students still do, confirm his first instincts.

The second woman bearing a motive for this memoir is Hadley Richardson, Hemingway's first and unforgettable wife. The book is at once a celebration of their early years in Paris and an apologia for his ever having brought those years to an end. She is more of a presence than a character in the book. She is the one Hemingway returns to near the end of most chapters after a day of writing in his cold garret or warm cafe. She would always be there, it seemed then, with the strength that is clear in her face, the love that fills her letters, and, not the least, a trust fund of some $2,000 a year. When they went out together- say, to Miss Stein's- Hadley, a welleducated woman, fluent in French, and an accomplished musician, spent the evening talking of recipes with Alice B. Toklas, self-proclaimed as the constant companion of the "great wives of geniuses."

These early days were idyllic and Hemingway remembered them as the time when "we were very poor and very happy." Young, innocent, in love and in Paris, the two of them were (as someone has said) "Babes in the Bois." But the unpublished letters and manuscripts of those early years tell a different story.

They were hardly poor, at the going rates. Paris was not only a moveable feast, it was substantial and inexpensive plat du jour. When they arrived, Ernest was a roving correspondent for the Toronto Star, at a penny a word. With the French franc at thirteen to the dollar, a nickel got them a bottle of wine, and a dollar (or 100 words for the Star) covered a hotel room for a night, a dinner for two, and a bottle of good rum for the chilly sidewalk evenings.

When he resigned from the Star in 1923 and returned to Paris with Hadley and their young son, times were a little more difficult. One of the chapters of his memoir is entitled "Hunger Was Good Discipline." And in that chapter he goes the morning without breakfast, but manages to get through the day with a liter-and-a-half of beer, two servings of potato salad in o live oil soaked up with bread, a thick German sausage with mustard, and a cafe creme. They were never "down and out in Paris," or anywhere else, for that matter.

Nor were they all that happy. Hemingway was away

These days were idyllic and Hemingway remembered them as the time when "we were very poor and very happy. ''

"But what if ... you are trying to use words that people would actually use ... [and] ... are the only words that can make the story come true?"

"But you don't get the point at all," she said.

"You mustn't write anything at all that is inaccrochable ... It's wrong and it's silly."

This may seem a minor point, but the passage is crucial among the records of Hemingway's education as a writer. One difficulty with the anecdote, however, is that, although it has been repeated in every later account of the relationship between the two writers, there is no corroborating evidence, no second witness, to testify that it ever happened. So the story might have been an invention of Hemingway's "creative" memory- as many in A Moveable Feast turn out to be - were it not for the evidence of the manuscripts of that early story, "Up in Michigan." For on one of those manuscripts bearing Hemingway's Paris address, the offensive section of passionate dialogue is crossed out in an ink of a color that my more fashionable friends tell me is peacock blue. In that same ink there is a marginal comment not in Hemingway's hand and a proof-reading symbol that he never used. Now Hemingway used a lot of ink, but never peacock blue, in 1922 or at any other time. So I am all but certain that those marks on the manuscript are ~.

from Paris more often than Hadley liked; they quarreled bitterly over his extended trip to cover the Greco-Turkish war in 1922. When Hadley became pregnant in January of 1923, Hemingway had some dark remarks to make about contraception; and they spent a bitter fall in Toronto, she in the last months of pregnancy and he being baited by a jealous editor of the Star. The summer of 1925 was turgid with the drunken brawls and sexual intrigues that lie behind The Sun Also Rises. And that year brought the other woman: Pauline Pfeiffer, the chic, articulate writer for Vogue who found Hadley, in her unfashionable tweeds and simple shoes, rather pitiable; and Ernest, in whatever he wore, unkempt, unshaven, and unbearable.

So by December, naturally, she was deeply in love with him and began to ingratiate herself with the unsuspecting Hadley with a fearsome determination.

A Moveable Feast concludes with a confession in which Hemingway labors to explain why he left Hadley, and he ends it desperately with a cryptic sentence, "All things truly wicked start from an innocence."

The year he was remembering was 1926 when he worked over the stories that would be gathered under the title Men Without Women. The unpublished manuscripts of that year show him obsessed with a long story describing the agony of his broken marriage and contemplating suicide as a reasonable choice for the first time in his life. When he recalled that year in 195 7, with his early career and first marriage set against the end of his career and his last marriage, the writing of A Moveable Feast became, I think, more than a sad farewell to Paris - it reads like a suicide note. And in one of the drafts of its introduction, he wrote that Hadley was the book's heroine, as she was always his.

Hemingway's third and most compelling motive for A Moveable Feast was to recollect how he learned to write, and for his own sake. In those last four years before his death he faced the awful awareness that his days as a man and his resources as a writer were running out. So he returned, with reason, to those first four years when he won the name of an original artist.

His mood was autumnal, and the memoir begins with bad weather and the search through Paris for "a good cafe on the Place St. Michel" where it would be quiet and warm enough to write. As he begins to write, a girl enters the cafe, her face "smooth with rainfreshened skin, and her hair black as a craw's wing."

She is the third woman of this memoir, a young girl, distant and with unspoken demands. Hemingway remembered: "I looked at her and she disturbed me and made me very excited. I wished I could put her in my story, or anywhere, but she had placed herself so she could watch the street and the entry and I knew she was waiting for someone. So I went on writing ...

I watched the girl whenever I looked up, or when I sharpened the pencil with the pencil sharpener with the shavings curling into the saucer under my drink.

I've seen you ... and you belong to me now, whoever you are waiting for, and ifl never see you again, I thought. You belong to me and all Paris belongs to me and I belong to this notebook and this pencil."

When he looks up, he finds the girl gone; but he has finished the story, and returns home thinking that after he had written a story he always "felt empty and both sad and happy as though I had made love." And no wonder, for that young girl was his muse, exciting him to the creative act of writing.

With the inspiration of this anonymous girl, rainfreshened from the streets of Paris, he returned to his garret and, staring into the fire, ate mandarin oranges.

Then, as he recalled, he would squeeze "the peel of the little oranges into the edge of the flame and watch the little sputter of blue that they made." And he thought, "All you have to do is write one true sentence that [you] knew or had seen or had heard someone say." To make a try at what he meant by "one true sentence," it seems to be something witnessed, in whatever way, something seen and recorded, like the girl in the cafe, and so in a way possessed.

In the manuscripts there are some fair copies on telegraph forms of some sentences he titled "Paris 1922." Each is a brief prose-poem beginning with the phrase, "I have seen" or "I have watched." Each begins with the act of witnessing, and then moves through a dramatic sequence of simple details, to end with a phrase that somehow underlines those details, and challenges us to understand their relationships.

Here is one set on the fashionable Boulevard de la Madeleine, a street that begins at the Church of the Madeleine and ends at the Rue Cambon, near the Cafe de Ia Paix and the Place de !'Opera; it is also the address of the art dealer Bernheim-Jeune, one of the places where Hemingway first saw the paintings of Paul Cezanne. With that much, listen to- or better, see - the sentence: "I have seen the one-legged street walker who works the Boulevard Madeleine between the Rue Cambon and Bernheim-Jeune's limping along the pavement through the crowd on a rainy night with a beefy red-faced Episcopal clergyman holding an umbrella over her."

That sentence is, at first, more interesting for what it does not say than for what it does. It does not say "I was delighted, or disturbed, or even ironically amused, to have seen, and so on;" it says simply "I have seen ... "The sentence does not insist on the irony of a one-legged street-walker, allowing her, at least, half of what she needs for that activity, nor on the "beefy red-faced" clergyman, allowing him more than he deserves in his lean occupation. The rain here does not fall on the just and the unjust, as the homily has it, for no one here is either just or unjust. This sentence does not draw attention to that stretch of pavement that begins at a church consecrated to St. Mary-Magdalene, for the street-walker here is no

13

more a saint than the clergyman is a latter-day Christ pardoning her sins.

We may be free to make what we will of that sentence, but Hemingway in 1922 said only that he had seen this in this true sentence. He was searching for a style in which, as Boris Pasternak said, "One fee ls matter, iron and wood." Thus he fought off the impulse for metaphor. In one of his most dramatic stories, "Canary For One," he describes an experience (close to his own) of a husband returning to Paris by train with his wife "to set up separate residences." The narrator is silent through the first half of the story, and then suddenly intrudes in a conversation between his wife and an American lady, when he notices a train wreck they are passing. Hemingway first wrote: [The cars] were splintered and opened up as boats are cross-sectioned in a steamboat advertisement showing the different decks or as houses are opened up by a bombardment.

He cut that and in the final version wrote, "We were passing three cars that had been in a wreck.

They were splintered open and the roofs sagged in."

Cross-sections of steamboats and bombed houses, however analogous they might be, add little to the image of the splintered and sagging marriage of that couple. He strove, rather for the sense of a metaphor in a simple syntactic form. At the end of that story he first wrote, "We said goodbye to the American lady ... ,"and then revised it to the telling "My wife said goodbye and I said goodbye to the American lady .... " There is a long story of Hemingway's progress from writing "one true sentence" in 1922 to the intricate fictions of In Our Time in 1925; and I will come now to the end of it, for in that progress, as in one of his fictions, the beginning and the ending reflect one another.

Recall that sentence on the Boulevard Madeleine. I take that act of vision as important. Although that sentence is made of words and images in a syntactical pattern that is finally literary, the voice that seems to speak that sentence suppresses any interpretive or evaluative impulse to better record what has been seen: this street, these people, this act.

I'll turn now to the last of the stories of In Our Time, "Big Two-Hearted River," for it is the first story in all his fiction that is self-reflexive: a story that reflects the act of telling the story. When Hemingway recalled writing it in A Moveable Feast, over thirty years later,

he remembered his character Nick Adams watching a trout in the current beneath a bridge. .

When I stopped writing I did not want to leave the river where I could see the trout in the pool, its surface pushing and swelling smooth against the resistance of the logdriven piles of the bridge ....

But in the morning the river would be there and I must make it and the country and all that would happen.

When Hemingway stopped writing for the day, he was not so much at some point in his story as he was at some place, some scene that would be waiting for him in the morning like an unfinished landscape.

But the first draft of this story went haywire. It wandered off into Hemingway's memories of Paris, Michigan, Spain, other writers, bullfighting, sex, and Gertrude Stein. And when Stein read this manuscript version in the fall of 1924, she called it a "little story of meditations," and declared: "Hemingway, remarks are not literature." Again, she was right. The comment rankled so much that later in a draft of The Sun Also Rises he wrote: Gertrude Stein once told me that remarks are not literature. All right, let it go at that. Only this time all the remarks are going in and if it is not literature who claimed it was anyway?

But he deleted that passage, for all his rebellious anger, because he knew himself that remarks were not enough. That realization came when Nick Adams remembered the paintings of Paul Cezanne in a moment that mirrors Hemingway's later recollection of the river that would be there waiting for him in the morning. He thinks of Cezanne as one who took all the tricks and cliches of his tradition and "broke the whole thing down and built the real thing." And he, Nick, knew that "he could do it ... if [he] lived right with his eyes." Then, "seeing how Cezanne would do the stretch of river and the swamp, [he] stood up and stepped down into the stream. The water was cold and actual. He waded across the stream, moving in the picture." In that astonishing last phrase Hemingway's character moves into a landscape; and Hemingway followed, to revise that story's ending to the version we now know as so daringly close to what that old master, Cezanne, saw and painted in his paintings.

There are ways and ways of reading that manuscript, and most of them are well-trodden. In my more skeptical moments I suspect that when Nick Adams takes Cezanne as his master, as Hemingway did so frequently on other occasions, he was admitting to the

influence of an artist in order to disclaim the influence not only of Stein and Joyce and Fitzgerald but of any writer, even, perhaps, of literature itself. Beyond that, the strategy of setting himself the inarguably high standards of Cezanne's art allowed him to justify his own harsh criticisms of other writers - and in a way pardon them - for failing to meet those lofty standards which he, and he only, had just discovered.

But in my kinder and more credulous moments, I return to the older man's memory in A Moveable Feast of the lesson he learned in the 1920s. He wrote: I was learning something from the paintings of Cezanne that made writing simple true sentences far from enough to make the stories have the dimensions that I was trying to put in them . I was learning very much from him but I was not articulate enough to explain it to anyone. Besides it was a secret.

I come back to that passage for that intriguing word dimensions; and I wonder what he thought the secret was. My guess is that he saw there in the landscapes of Cezanne what many have seen - and was no secret: how those paintings seem to outline the geometric forms of our world, how they abstract the landscape and so turn us from the inessential and transient to the essential and enduring forms in the rocks and roads and trees and mountains.

What he learned from Cezanne is, I think, there in that sentence we have read from Paris in 1922 and written large in stories like "Indian Camp" in the miraculous three years that followed . That sentence and the stories seem to end just short of verbal or discursive meaning and turn us back to something more presentational, to the dimensions of the scenes, the characters, and their convers~tions that are situated in such a way that their simple, almost spatial, relationships reveal the geometry of our lives.

I return at the end to that story, "Indian Camp," because although I cannot say what it means I am certain of how it means it.

If you have read it you will remember that Nick Adams as a young boy, his father, and his uncle are on a fishing trip in Upper Michigan; they are awakened at night by an Indian sent to bring Dr. Adams to attend an Indian woman who has been in labor for two days. The Indian rows with N ick and his father in the stern of the boat. When they arrive at the camp, the woman is screaming in pain in a lower bunk and her husband is lying in the upper bunk recovering from an axe wound in his foot.

Dr. Adams performs a Caesarian section with a jackknife and sutures the incision with a cat-gut fishing leader. Nick witnesses that scene. When his father turns to the husband in the upper bunk, he discovers that he has slit his throat. Nick sees that, too. With nothing more to be done, the father and son row across the lake and talk: "Do ladies always have such a hard time having babies?"

Nick asked.

"No, that was very, very exceptional."

"Why did he kill himself, Daddy?"

"I don't know, Nick. He couldn't stand things, I guess."

"Do many men kill themselves, Daddy?"

"Not very many, Nick." '¡'Do many women?"

"Hardly ever."

"Don't they ever?"

"Oh, yes, sometimes."

"Daddy?" uYes."

"Where did Uncle George go?"

"He'll turn up all right."

"Is dying hard, Daddy?"

"No, I think it's pretty easy, Nick. It all depends."

As the father rows with his boy seated in the stern, the sun breaks over the hills, a bass jumps, making a circle on the surface, and Nick trails his "hand in the water. It fe lt warm in the sharp chill of the morning."

Then the story ends with the inexplicable sentence: In the early morning on the lake sitting in the stern of the boat with his father rowing, he felt quite sure that he would never die.

If I ever come to understand that story, it will be because Hemingway learned as a young man in Paris how words on a flat page can be made, like paint on a canvas, to draw lines between death and birth, a father and son, violence and calm, the feeling of the warm living water and the sharp chill of the morning, as sharp as the knives that take us from this world and bring us into it.

When I consider some of the more representative impressions of Hemingway, those that we hold to like legends in our lives, I suspect that they have captured our imaginations not only because Hemingway's life prefigured his art but also because his art so often foreshadowed his life. Four years after he wrote that story, Dr. Hemingway "couldn't stand things, I guess," and killed himself. And at the end, the son followed the father, when he came to know that next to a life without art "dying isn't hard .. . . It all depends."

Two weeks before that, Hemingway wrote his last letter, one to a nine-year-old boy who, like him, was doomed with a fatal disease. In that letter he tells the boy of some beautiful country he has just seen and that he has just watched "some good bass jump in the river." Facing death with that youngster, Hemingway returned to the childhood of his fiction, when "a bass jumped, making a circle in the water" and in his life, and "he felt quite sure that he would never die."

I, too, am quite sure that the artist we know in Hemingway'diction will never die. He will survive all our critical fashions. And when the impressions of the man have faded, we will still have that of the artist who, at whatever the cost, knew that he belonged to "this notebook and this pencil." â&#x20AC;˘ Author Paul Smith is James].

In Search of

Nicara~ua

By Melissa Everett '75

andino International Airport in Managua, with its camouflaged military jets parked next to the commercial runway, has been portrayed by some writers as a Gateway to the Twilight Zone. In Cocktails at Somoza's, a memoir of Nicaragua in the months right after the July, 1979 overthrow of the Somoza dictatorship, Richard Ellman describes the confiscation of a fellow reporter's Penthouse by zealous young Sandinistas. Years later, in the Boston Phoenix, Susanna Rodell tells of watching m iddle-class Nicaraguans' luggage rifled in humiliating detail, their underwear held up for inspection and their belongings left in d isarray, in a not-so-subtle class war.

My own first entry in the summer of 1984 was of a different flavor: no hostility, no rhetoric, just a

twenty-minute wait while a skinny and very young official reconciled the fact that my traveling companion had used her middle name in her passport and a nickname on her visa application. In a country where 38% of the population has been taught to read and write in the last five years, I soon learned, there is an almost obsessive emphasis on dotting i's and crossing t's in every pursuit.

Entering Managua is a powerful and disconcerting experience for many people. In the aftermath of the 1972 earthquake, the city looks as if some giant had picked up handfuls of buildings and earth and slung them randomly around. We drove in at sunset, swerving every two blocks or so to avoid a pile of burning tires and garbage in the highway. Our conversation ŠJ985 All Rights Reserved

was punctuated by seemingly random sounds of explosives. But not to worry, I was told by the American schoolteacher who was acting as our host. This was the week of the July 19 celebration, marking the fifth anniversary of the revolution, and we were just seeing a little revolutionary rambunctiousness.

A few days later, I found myself in the middle of that celebration: a quarter million Nicaraguans gathered on a huge open field to wave their red and black flags, hear leaders report on the promise and the problems, eat sugary ice cream and fresh watermelon and dance the afternoon away. As impressive as the turnout, to me with my critical visitor's eye, was the obvious freedom of the many Nicaraguans who stood in their yards or sat on their stoops watching the procession go by without joining it. Whatever this place was, it was not a police state as we usually conceive it.

Managua is a hard city to take in, visually and emotionally. The earthquake could almost have taken place last year, so barren are the fields of what was once downtown and so raggedy are the ruins still standing. The Bank of America skyscraper and the pyramid of Howard Hughes' Intercontinental Hotel (Photos by Michael Kopec)

are the only modern intrusions on this landscape of scrapwood and stucco and scattered open fields where trash burns unattended. A cloud hangs over the city from smoldering garbage and soot-belching autos. But when the day's heat gives way and Nicaraguans gather in humble neighborhood restaurants for rice, beans, a deep-fried salty cheese, plantains, and maybe a piece of chicken, this alien place reveals its true character as the home of some very special people.

On this visit and another one in March of 1985, I spoke to Nicaraguans about their own experiences and, for in-depth analysis beyond the limits of my Spanish, conducted long interviews with supporters from the U.S. and other countries. Let me introduce you to a few of these special people.

Mary Hartmann is a nun from Pennsylvania who has lived in Nicaragua since 1962. She came down with a degree in Shakespeare to teach in an upperclass boys' school in Managua and, she remembers, "I thought I'd be a schoolmarm all my life." But, discovering the crushing poverty and, after the earthquake, the accelerating momentum of the insurrection, she went on to care for lepers and refugees and transport

Sandinista partisans in hiding. A gaunt, soft-spoken woman in her fifties, Mary now works for the Nicaraguan government's human rights commission, running a network of model prison farrns and speaking with dozens of international visitors a week about the situation. "There has been very little effort made to report the news accurately," she believes. "You hear about true incidents of violence, such as the beating of some Miskito Indian prisoners who were suspected of contra activity .. But you never read in the U.S. press that over 300 Sandinistas are serving sentences for human rights violations."

Frances and Marco Romero have lived in Nicaragua for nearly three years. He is a former Boeing engineer who now works for Aeronica; she is a psychologist who consults for the Ministry of Education. They left a comfortable life in Seattle to live in NicaraguaMarco, who was born in Puerto Rico, acting on a lifelong desire to help the poor in an underdeveloped country and Frances, glad to come along. Their decision was inspired in part by their son Edgar, who is teaching mathematics at the country's largest university and living in a working class barrio with his wife, Virginia. All three tell of hard lives and working conditions - teaching with no textbooks; running an airline with planes up to forty years old; watching the deterioration of the economy, for which they blame U.S. economic sanctions and attempts to block aid to Nicaragua; and trying not to think about the possibility of an invasion by their own country.

"If that does happen, we think we would stay here.

We consider it our responsibility to keep people back home informed," reflects Frances, a well dressed, confident woman. "I consider myself part of the mainstream of America. I have never wanted for a thing. I feel that many people in the upper and middle classes in the U.S. need a lot of education in order to recognize what is being done in their names, and providing some of that education is part of my purpose in being here."

According to a poll published this spring, only 26% of the U.S. public knows which side our government supports in Nicaragua. Those who know and those who don't debate the issue with more rancor than insight. Why is the debate such a mess?

For one thing, many who visit Nicaragua have a pre-established agenda, either to collect the good news or to collect the bad. They get what they come down for, and reject the rest. Some come back with glowing reports of the national literacy campaign,, the land reform that has given 40,000 families title and for-real access to plots; the public health efforts that have eradicated polio and cut back malaria and tuberculosis; the murals and children's libraries that never existed before; the vigorous functioning of the church at the community level; even a live TV show called "Face the People," in which high-ranking Sandinistas visit a different neighborhood each week to answer questions from the public.

Others bring back verification that, yes, La Prensa,

REVOLUTIONARY CHURCH in a Managua working class barrio is one of the major seats of liberation theology.

the opposition newspaper, is censored; the Catholic hierarchy is restricted in its ability to organize its followers politically; the economy is a shambles; the TV is state-controlled; many peasants have indeed been moved off their land to create free~fire zones in the contra war, although fair-minded observers will admit that the "concentration camp" metaphors of the Reagan Administration don't hold up to simple inspection. Primitive but functional housing is provided for refugees, but no one is forced to go anywhere in particular. They're simply forced to go somewhere other than the land where they grew up, a great enough tragedy by itself.

We look for a Nicaragua that is all black or all white. Not surprisingly, we won't find either. What we do find is a revoluntionary country governed by some hard-liners and some visionaries and some plodding human beings; a country that has suffered several invasions and occupations by our own starting in 1855, long before there was a Soviet Union to blame, and which once again finds troops funded by the hemispheric superpower gathered on its borders; a dirt-poor nation of three million that is still in the process of determining its own direction, and arguably deserves the freedom to do so.

I stood in the ruins of what used to be Managua's main cathedral, now open to the sky and filled with

grass. After the anniversary celebration, tourists and Nicaraguans drifted through. Bare-chested boys slid giggling down a curving, marble banister. A few minutes later I was surrounded by a delegation of half a dozen children in their early teens, several with younger siblings in tow. "May we talk with you a little?" they asked. Like many Nicaraguan children I have met, they were mature, not only in demeanor, but also in their interest in the larger world.

They asked me where I was from. They asked me what I thought of their country - was it totalitarian, or not? They asked me what people in the United States thought of their country. A self-appointed spokesman, the oldest boy posed each of these questions in clear, careful Spanish. They paid attention as I fumbled with complex thoughts: "People in the U .S. 路 sometimes put too much reliance on ideological categories - communist, free. They really don't know what it is they should be asking about Nicaragua, how to make decisions about what's going on here."

"But you can tell them, can't you?" the oldest boy said. "You can tell them we aren't your enemy."

That hopelessly naive image- telling my countrymen and countrywomen the truth about Nicaragua in order to make the administration call off its guns permeated both of my visits and, from what I've been told, has haunted the experience of many travelers.

THE REAL NICARAGUA

Sharon Hostetler, who works for a religious organization called Witness for Peace coordinating many of the church delegations that have been visiting the war zone, remembers a peasant woman's comment, "Reagan must not have children. Otherwise he wouldn't be capable of such cruelty." A Mennonite from Ohio whose childhood memories are of baseball and farm life, Sharon has lived in Managua since · 1983. And still she cries when she tells certain stories, such as the death of 13-year-old Alba Luz Hernandez, who was blown out of a treetop by the contras' aerial attack on the Santa Clara military training school. "It never gets easy, being here," Sharon told me, making no effort to hide the tears. "It's what we call the painful privilege."

Spending a little time in Nicaragua has been, for me, a thousand times more a privilege than a source of pain. I will always remember the little girl who approached me in the street to ask for a pen and, when I gave her one, threw her arms around my waist. I will remember the farming cooperative outside Esteli where a shirtless, brownskinned man showed off the corn and potato crops that were, for the first time in his life, really his own. I will especially remember Rosa Zambrana, a fiftyish woman who feeds her family by renting rooms to revolutionary tourists in a house that once sheltered Sandinistas in hiding. "Marna Rosa," her daughters and grandchildren - middle class Nicaraguans with whom I stayed for three weeks - convinced me that our country is on the wrong side, not with rhetoric, but with the enthusiasm of their involvement i.!) neighborhood meetings, wornen's groups, and all the other trappings of a process the Reagan administration calls "totalitarian."

Nic,aragua is a flawed but vital experiment in democratic socialism in an age when neither socialism nor democracy inspires many believers. Even former contra commander Edgar Charnorro says the Sandinistas' progress in alleviating proverty can't be ignored and admits that Nicaragua is enjoying a general freedom from government-sponsored terror which has had a remarkable impact on the national consciousness since 1979. Judy Butler, co-author of a book on the national literacy campaign, calls the phenomenon nothing less than an "uncorking of the people."

Leave it to the conscience of each reader to make peace with the hard facts behind these anecdotes.

There is no shortage of reading material, if we will only find the time to get through it. We must each reconcile as best we can the contras' cultivated image as "freedom fighters" with the disgusted revelations of former commander Charnorro and the documentation provided by groups like Americas Watch. We must each reconcile for ourselves the administration's identification of Nicaragua's leaders as part of an international terrorist ring with the response of Sandinista leadership in July: the foreign minister, father Miguel d'Escoto, announced not a military strike but a hunger strike - his own. We must come to terms

with the solid respect accorded by virtually every international observer to Nicaragua's 1984 election, in which the Frente Sandinista won 63% of the vote. We must come to terms - the sooner, the better·, with the fact that, while the administration calls Nicaragua an "outlaw," the World Court has on more concrete grounds called us the same.

My own conclusion, though it is not currently in vogue, is that the Sandinistas are doing a respectable job considering the deck they have been dealt. But the point of my writing and my travels has been less to push a conclusion than to endorse an attitude: one of opening our eyes, putting ourselves as close as we can to the center of the storm rather than safely· on the periphery, drawing our own conclusions, and living them.

Living our conclusions is often the hardest part.

Unlike feeding Ethiopia, an effort which is backed by our government and business community, the movement to support Nicaragua is an uphill battle on an issue on which the administration has vowed to "draw the line." Father Jim Feltz, a priest from Chicago working at tremendous personal risk in a contraridden rural parish called Paiwas, said to me during an interview this spring, "You who are concerned in the U.S., you have the hardest work. Down here, we're in touch with the truth and with the reasons to struggle.

Up there, everybody's preoccupied with the worship of the golden calf." •

,'85" is thicker than the Hartford telephone directory. A few details from it tell the story - 400 tote bags and 109 25th Reunion T-shirts designed and ordered, 675 chairs rented for the clambake, 1,000 copies of the final schedule drawn up and printed.

As June 13 neared, the planning intensified and the phones rang nonstop. Staff workers sometimes took home stacks of ties and blazer buttons and recruited their families to help wrap the 90-odd Reunion gifts. Everyone tuned in to weather reports and offered hopeful predictions for fair skies.

Student workers served as jacks-of-all-trades for the fourday event. They helped make over 400 beds, designed pos-

ters, collected dinner tickets, and ran innumerable errands.

Keeping the Reunion crowd well-fed was a massive task for the food crew which averaged 12-hour workdays, according to Robert Schondelmeier, food service director. Impressive quantities re prepared for the clamke alone: 600 lobsters, 150 s ~s, 15 bushels of steamers, gallons of clam chowder, 1 watermelons and 700 brownies.

Hansen expressed his appreciation of the dedicated administrators and students who worked long hours to make Reunion a success. "It's all worthwhile when we see the alumni and their families having a great time," he says.

Throughout the weekend, alumni were kept busy attending seminars given by faculty and fellow alumni, participating in sports and, of course, sharing all the fun with old friends.

On Thursday evening, 23 members of the C lass of '35 were inducted into the Half Century Club. Two members of the Class of '16 earned the distinction of being the oldest Club members present: Dr. Samuel Berkman of West Hartford and Erhardt G. Schmitt of New Haven.

Alumni took an active role in planning and presenting

events, including an organ recital and a financial planning seminar. Their children were entertained by a trip to Mystic Aquarium, a magic show, games and movies.

Musical entertainment took many forms - a swinging jazz concert led by Charles B. Weeks '59, an organ recital by College organist John Rose, and a lively Broadway musical revue, performed by undergraduates and directed by Associate Professor of Music Gerald Moshell.

The National Alumni Association recognized some outstanding members. In addition to those pictured here, awards were given to the following: The Trinity Club of Hartford received the George C. Capen T rophy for being the area alumni association which best fulfilled its function in the preceding year and the Jerome Kahn Award was given to the Class of '35 for having the largest percentage of members at Reunion.

The 1916 Alumni Trophy Award went to the Class of '74 which had the best fundraising record among younger classes and the Class of 1934 Trophy for the best Alumni Fund record went to the Class of '63.

Ousman Sallah '65 of Gambia was recognized as the alumnus who came the farthest and John]. Maher '35 was recognized for making the first Reunion reservation.

AWARDS EIGENBRODT CUP AWARD ROBERT MAX BLUM Class of 1950 The thrusts and parries of the courtroom, New York politics and Olympic fencing are but three of the many engagements of this energetic alumnus. As an undergraduate, his enthusiasms for debating, fencing, editing, flying and writing demonstrated the verve and variety that have characterized his later life.

After graduation, he entered Columbia Law School from which he received his LL.B. in 1953. He entered law practice in New York City and in 1956 began his association with the firm of Siberfeld, Danziger and Bangser, where he is currently a distinguished partner.

Along the way he has made several political forays, serving as counsel and assistant to former congressman and mayor John Lindsay, and as special counsel to the New York State Assembly Judiciary Committee. His political skill may account for his accomplished swordsmanship: he wielded the saber on two U.S. Olympic teams and as a member of several international fencing squads. He is also a founder and board member of the Association for Mentally Ill Children in Manhattan.

Despite these heavy commitments, he has always shared a large part of his talent and counsel with Trinity. A class agent for 13 years, he has been vice

President English congratulates Bob Blum. president of the New York Club and a member of the executive committee of the National Alumni Association. He was also chairman of the National Committee of the Campaign for Trinity Values, the most successful fund-raising effort in the College's history.

On two previous occasions Trinity h as honored him: in 1973 with a 150th Anniversary Award, and in 1978 with the Alumni Medal for Excellence. Today, as he retires from a remarkable nine years as a trustee of the College, and on the occasion of his 35th reunion, I present to you one of Trinity's most accomplished graduates for the highest award that can be given an alumnus.

"If, as the Broadway show tune says, Everything's Up to Date in Kansas City, the chances are good that this dynamic alumnus had something to do with it. For the past 25 years he has been immersed in land development, construction and commercial property management in this growing Missouri metropolis."

"Law and education are路 traditional destinations for many Trinity graduates; this alumnus has achieved a front-rank position in both professions since his graduation some 30 years ago ... For the past nine years he has been president of Rhode Island's Bryant College, where he has earned a reputation as an accessible executive and a devoted student advocate."

"For the past 17 years, the steady hand of this alumnus has guided his College through the ebb and flow of inflation and safely over the financial shoals that have grounded many institutions . . . His colleagues know him by his long hours and meticulous concern for detail; he modestly explains his dedication as a labor of love and regards overtime as merely volunteer work for his alma mater."

1984~85

REVIEW'===:===:====:====:====:==-=

Once again, the Bantam has proved to be a formidable foe in the realm of athletic competition. In the past school year Trinity's student-athletes have continued the tradition of excellence in intercollegiate sports. T h e varsity teams were a combined 186-142-5, a winning percentage of .566. The Lady Bants more than held their own as 7 of their 10 teams had winning marks for an overall record of 82-52-3, a winning percentage of .609. The 13 men's teams featured 6 winners and a combined mark of 104-90-2, a winning percentage of .536.

The women can boast of two championship banners in regional tournaments as lacrosse won their third straight N.LA.C. title and fie ld hockey won as well, after losing in the fina ls the year before. The squash . team completed its best season ever with a ranking of #2 in the nation. For the second straight year the tennis team placed second in N.E.S.C.A.C. Other traditionally strong teams continued their winning ways as the swim team enjoyed its sixth straight winning season and the soccer team finished on the up-

side for the fourth straight year. A new tradition of winning may have been founded as the track team finished with a winning record for the first time in their third year as a varsity sport. Volleyball was added in the fall as a club sport.

One regional championship, in basketball, was added to the men's collection in 1984-5 while the track team won its third straight league title at the N.E.S.C.A.C. meet. The basketball team has now won the E.C.A.C. title in back-to-back seasons and has appeared in the finals four times in the past five years. The squash team was ranked #2 in the nation, their best finish ever. The ice hockey squad reached the E.C.A.C. finals and lacrosse made it to the semifinals. The football team had a fifth consecutive victorious campaign and the swimming and soccer teams were much improved. D ivision I Army was defeated in tennis for the first time and the golf team finished third in N.E.S.C.A.C. There were seven All-American Bantams: Joe Shield and Tim McNamara in football, squash players Kat Castle, Ellie Pierce, Bill Doyle and Michael Georgy, and Ken Abere from the basketball team.

FALL PREVIEW=:==:==:==:==:==:=

28

"Defense" is the word most heard around the Trinity athletic facilities as many of the teams gearing up for fall action will likely use a strategy of strong defense in their quest for winning seasons.

With the graduation of key offensive performers, Don Miller will be relying on the defense, where seven starters and some experienced substitutes return, to keep scores down in this, his nineteenth, year at the Bantam helm. Outstanding defensive linemen Frank Funaro, Andre John and Captain Mark Murray have proven they can put a heavy rush on opposing quart-

erbacks. On offense the ou:standing performer is wide receiver Mike Doetsch. The senior speedster caught 4 7 passes in 1984 and led the nation with a kick-off return average of 33.4 yards. Other notable returnees include running backs Steve Okun and Rich Nagy and quarterback Dan Tighe, a strong-armed and wellprepared understudy to Joe Shield for two years. If 1985 is as successful as the last two years' 6-2 campaigns, Coach Miller will record his 100th career victory this fall.

The field hockey team will be in defense of its N.I.A.C. championship. After graduating three of her top four scorers, Coach Robin Sheppard will rely more on defense, including junior goalie Pam Ingersoll (1.1 goals against/ game, 5 shut-outs) in obtaining her tenth straight winning season, the longest such streak at the College. The men's soccer team also features a strong defense and a top goalie. Bill Eastburn '87 ( 1. 7 goals against/ game) was one of the many young players who helped give Robie Shults his best record since 1977. Four of the six starters returning for Karen Erlandson and the women's soccer team are on defense and they hope to get back into the play-offs after just missing out last year. Claire Slaughter is the threetime defending state singles title winner and she will spearhead Wendy Bartlett's tennis team, which should be strong once again. Alex Magoun '81 takes over the reins of both cross-country programs this year and his expertise and enthusiasm should put opponents on the defensive. Also, women's volleyball makes its debut as a varsity sport.

PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE UPDATE================ Could it be that a small liberal arts college on a hill in the south end of Hartford is becoming a factory for producing professional athletes? Probably not. However, four recent graduates are continuing to use the athletic skills they learned and displayed at Trinity.

Mike Schweighoffer '84 is pitching for the Vera Beach Dodgers in the Class A Florida League. In fact, Mike was the league's "Player of the Month" for April when he won his first six dec-isions for the Los Angeles Dodgers' farm team. Mike's record is now 10-7 with a fine 2.45 ERA, and he was recently named to the league's All-Star team. Not an overpowering pitcher, Mike has been using good control and a sinking fastball that induces many ground ball outs. He led T rinity in games started, completed and won his senior year as well as in ERA and strike-outs. He was also a big part of the Bantams' 1983 ECAC championship.

The Class of 1985 features three professional athletes. The best known is Joe Shield, the record-setting quarterback who is now at training camp at St. Norbert College in DePere, Wisconsin, vying for a spot on the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League. Shield, the #2 ranked quarterback in the history of Division III football, became the first Bantam to be selected in the N.F.L. draft since Roger LeClerc '60.

A pair of recent graduates are now competing on the professional squash tour. Bill Doyle and Michael Georgy, for four years the top two Trinity players, and before that at the Moses Brown School in Providence, Rhode Island, have turned professional after having played occasionally as amateurs on the tour when school work and squash schedules permitted.

Both Doyle and Georgy are ranked among the top 100 players in the world. Tournaments are held all across the country and Canada, as well as around the world, once or twice a month in the summer and then weekly from September to June. On moving from the college to the professional game, Doyle commented, "The transition is really big. The competition is brutal." The four-time All-American has also noticed the more subdued atmosphere at professional matches: "Home matches were so exciting at Trinity. You don't get people screaming and shouting on the tour." Recently Doyle upset Gul Khan in the first round of the North American Open in New York. Khan is one of the elite top 20 players in the world who earn their livelihood on the tour.

SUMMER SPORTS CAMPS===:====:=:::: Athletic act1vity is year-round at Trinity as two sports camps brought hundreds of local youngsters to the campus daily this summer for instruction and recreation.

The National Youth Sports Program is a federallyfunded month-long camp for underprivileged urban youths, aged 10-16. Former Trinity coach AI Thomas was the program director as over 400 boys and girls

came toT rinity for a 16th consecutive year. In addition to the softball, soccer, tennis, basketball and swimming, each child received a physical examination by the U.S. Army Reserve 819th Station Hospital.

The Trinity College Sports Camp, now in its seventh year, ran for three two-week sessions. Camp Director Stan Ogrodnik, the coach ofT rinity's men's basketball team, reports that there were over 300 participants, aged 6-14.

WOMEN'S ATHLETICS & THE CLASS OF '85=============: Fifteen years have passed since the beginning of women's athletics at Trinity. In that time the College has become identified with success in its women's programs. The most recent group of graduates, the Class of 1985, was surely the cream of the crop. Unusually strong in terms of the number of talented multi-sport athletes, this class was dominant on the rosters and in the successes of the varsity teams for four years. It also played a big role in bringing new sports to varsity status and in giving credibility to newly-formed teams.

Intercollegiate sports for women have mushroomed after an inauspicious debut on the afternoon of April 25, 1970, when the first Lady Bants lost at Connecticut College in tennis 3-2. Varsity status came first for the field hockey team in 1971. Since then, tennis ('72), squash ('73), lacrosse ('75), basketball ('75-6), crew ('76), swimming ('78-9), soccer ('80), cross-country ('82), track ('83), and softball ('84) have been added to the rolls. In the coming year they will be joined by volleyball and indoor track, making a total of 13 varsity offerings.

To place the quality of women athletes in the Class of 1985 in perspective, consider that four of its members won Trinity Blanket Awards. Previously, only 22 students had been awarded this prize, signifying the winning of 8 (and since 1975, 9) varsity letters in three sports. Seven of the 26 recipients have now been women while five men have won the award since the College went coed. This year's winners were: Laura Couch, who won 10 letters in soccer, swimming and softball; Kat Castle, who won 11 letters in field hockey, squash, and lacrosse; Karen Rodgers who won 11 letters in soccer, basketball and lacrosse; and Susie Cutler, who became the first 12 letter winner in College history, competing in field hockey, swimming and lacrosse.

Other outstanding recent graduates include Sydney Fee (8, soccer, lacrosse), Kathy Klein (8, tennis, squash, track), Laura Higgs (7, field hockey, squash), Jeanne Mannes (7, soccer, basketball, softball), Bonnie Adams (6, field hockey, lacrosse), and Erica Thurman (6, cross-country, track). Winners of 5 letters from the Class were Donna Gilbert (tennis, softball), Prudie Horne (soccer, squash), and Jeanine Looney (tennis, track).

Wendy Bartlett, who coached seniors in the #2, 3 and 4 spots in both tennis and squash, was impressed with this group in her first year at Trinity: "The sen-

iors on both teams combined their experience and tremendous athletic ability to contribute to our success."

Bartlett also noticed that the multi-sport athletes "brought their 'team-sport attitudes' to these individual sports which helped morale and spirit."

Karen Erlandson had 7 starters on the soccer team and 3 on the basketball team from the Class of '85. In the past four years this group secured 5 out of a possible 8 play-off berths in the two sports, after each had suffered losing seasons in 1980-81. This year's seniors "were the core of our success," Erlandson explained.

She also expressed admiration for the "many good athletes playing so many sports. There was a great deal of selflessness and dedication to participate at such a high level all year long."

As the coach of field hockey and lacrosse, Robin Sheppard enjoyed a combined 72-17-5 record over the last four years, a winning percentage of. 793. Her teams won 4 out of a possible 6 regional championships. Sheppard noted that each athlete's "intense desire to succeed" made her confident of victory each time they took the field .

Trintype "I am the product of a true liberal arts education," George Higgins says with a smile, "in that I did not become interested in psychology until I was a senior in college. All of us like to take credit for having done our lives intentionally. Mine was a series of accidents."

Higgins started out as a physics major. "In the postwar atomic age a lot of us thought that was where the glamour was going to be," he recalls. But, he ultimately took his B.A. degree in mathematics from Amherst College. He went on to earn his Ph.D. from the University of Rochester, where he did his thesis on personality development in college students. By chance, Higgins' thesis supervisor spoke at Trinity, where he learned the College was planning to set up a psychological counseling service. He encouraged Higgins to apply. Although he had planned to work in a university-affiliated hospital, Higgins took the job at Trinity in 1963, and has been teaching and counseling students ever since.

"I enjoy the teaching," he says. "I have taught clinical methods, abnormal and developmental psychology, and personality theory. It's fun, and it gives you a chance to formalize your thinking and reflect on what you're doing. I also have a small private practice so that I can keep track of other kinds of pa· tients. When you're dealing with such a refined population as college age students, it's important to keep yourself professionally alert. And, being in a city, I can involve myself in research at hospitals and clinics."

Over the past decade Higgins' research has been primarily in gender identity development and trans· sexuality, interests which claimed him, once again, by happenstance.

For the first several years at Trinity, he continued his research on college students. Then, in the mid-60s, he was asked to take part in a counseling service for homosexuals being offered by the Greater Hart· ford Council of Churches. Later, again "quite by accident," he joined with a practitioner from Johns Hop:> kins who had participated in some

of the early transsexual operations in opening a gender identity clinic in Hartford. The clinic is one of six in the U.S. staffed with professionals who diagnose patients and make referrals for treatment.

"Right now it looks like I'm about to return to research on college stu· dents, with some work on student· teacher interaction in the classroom," Higgins notes. There is a reason for the change in direction.

"To a certain extent, the kinds of things you can be interested in and follow up depend upon the research, and we are in a hideously repressive era right now, in terms of our attitude toward sexuality. As part of our gender identity research we were the first to publish on an extremely exciting fact, in that we found brain functioning differences between transsexuals and nontranssexuals and between homosexuals and non-homosexuals. It was one of the first times data came out that indicated homosexuality might not be a choice. But there's been very little research following up on that, and we finally had to stop it for lack of funding. As a scientist, I find this repression very troubling."

Higgins has also seen changes in counseling in the 22 years he has been in the position. "In many ways the counseling job is not the same kind of friendly, pleasant job it used to be in the halls of ivy," he explains. "We see many, many more seriously disturbed 'kids than when I first came here. There are many more profound psychological disorders, the most popular one, of course, being eating disorders.

"One of the reasons that I think this is all happening," he suggests, "is because parents are not listening. They are forbidding kids to have troubles. There is such a pres· sure to do well and appear well, and there are no real modes for people to express unhappiness. We're also required to be happy. I happen to think life is an unhappy business. I know I never looked the way I wanted to look; I could never do the things I wanted to do; I was never talented in all the areas I wanted to be talented in. If you convince peo· ple that the point of life is to be happy all the time, then if they glimpse the truth, that it frequently rains when you plan a picnic, then, rather than react in a coping way, they react in a dramatic way. 'That's just awful,' they say, and starve themselves."

A sense of competence may also be missing, Higgins says. "In child development, you watch for an accrued sense of competence," he explains, "a confidence on the child's part that he will be able to manage.

But, when we have reading readiness classes in preschool and math readiness in kindergarten, kids never gain a sense that they're going to be able to face what's ahead, because we're always out there, getting them ready. We keep robbing them of the chance to develop a sense of competence."

The American penchant for speed is partly to blame, he says. Even the desire for change, the crux of the psychological process, Higgins tends to consider American.

"One thing you would probably learn if you studied psychology carefully is how difficult it is to make change and how slow it is," he says. "I have a certain respect for the pace of change. I don't think sudden change is helpful. I think, however, sometimes you can delay change too long."

In his few off hours, Higgins observes the pace at which change is effected in the restoration work he and his wife are doing on a 200-yearold house in Massachusetts. He is also very much involved with music, "both as a student and as a consumer of the performing arts."

If pressed for words of wisdom from a psychologist, he will offer a brief capsule: "Slow down; life isn't all supposed to be fun; knowing things that don't have a practical application is not a useless venture; knowledge for itself is still important if nothing else than for mental health."

tions of musicians and even postage stamps are contained in five scrapbooks dating from the 1930s to the 1970s which jazz critic and disc jockey George Malcolm-Smith '25 bequeathed to Trinity.

Malcolm-Smith's devotion to jazz is reflected not only in his carefullyindexed scrapbooks, but also in a collection of approximately 200 books and dozens of periodicals, such as The Record Changer, to Trinity after his death in 1984.

The scrapbooks are of particular interest, says Margaret Sax, associate curator of the Watkinson Library, where much of the material will be housed. Articles written by MalcolmSmith himself, a colorful six-cent postage stamp honoring blues musician W.C. Handy and a program from a 1950s jazz concert at Carnegie Hall are just a few items the scrapbooks hold.

Sax explains that Malcolm-Smith probably used them to answer questions and provide information about the recordings he played on his radio program, "Gems of American Jazz," which ran on WTIC for eight years during the 1940s.

Malcolm-Smith, who lived in West Hartford, was a publicist for The Travelers Insurance Company for 44 years.

The recipient of several alumni honors from Trinity, Malcolm-Smith served as 1925's class agent for two decades.

The new acquisitions augment the Watkinson Library's already substant ial collection on jazz.

The Watkinson has also received a gift of $50,000, a bequest from the late George H . Gilman, Jr. of Hartford. A portion of the residue of his estate will also be given to a permanent endowment fund for general purposes in memory of his grandfather, George S. Gilman, of the Class of 1847.

Gilman had established the George H. Gilman, Jr. Endowment Fund for the Watkinson Library shortly before his death in January. His many philanthropic efforts for the College included endowing a scholarship fund and designating a conference room and office in the Albert C. Jacobs Life Sciences Center, both in honor of his grandfather.

ILLINOIS SCHOLARSHIPS A WARDED TO FIVE Five members of the Class of 1989 have been awarded Illinois Scholarships to attend Trinity this fall. A pri-

vate fund, Scholarships for Illinois Residents, Inc., has enabled some 255 state students to study at Trinity since the establishment of the fund in 1948.

The scholarships are awarded on the basis of financial need and personal merit.

The new Illinois scholars are: Rodney Brown of Elgin (Elgin Academy), Todd Gillespie of Decatur (Eisenhower High School), Scott Isaac of Schaumburg (Schaumburg High School), Sherri Ousley of Granite City (Granite City High School South), and Amy Paulson of Rockford (Rockford Senior H igh School).

Had a note from LOU COHEN's daughter in Atlanta, GA, advising me of the death of her father and sending a donation to the 1985 Alumni Fund in his memory.

After several attempts to reach "BUNK" WESSELS '19 in New York, finally caught up with him at his old home in Portland, CT. If memory serves me correctly, that is where the sandstone for the original buildings on the campus was quarried.

Told the Alumni Fund people in Hartford I'd contact members of the Class in the light of our Class Agent's incapacity, and time will tell if the effort brought any results.

Didn't feel up to going to Hartford for the alumni weekend, but I'm sure everyone who went had a good time.

The annual Half Century Club Reunion was held at the College on 6/13/85. Present at the reception and dinner were IKE NEWELL and JIM CALANO. Also attending were Ike's wife, Helen, along with Ike's sister-in-law, Marion, widow of BOB NEWELL '26.

The Class of '35 was inducted into the Club. In his induction speech Alumni Director JERRY HANSEN '51 related such an exhaustive list of facts, incidents and events which occurred in 1935 that I wondered whether Jerry thought that the sun rose and set solely on the Class of '35! (No, Class of '35, we weren't envious!)

Ike informed me that he suffered through a very serious illness in the summer of '84 but conquered it with faith, hope and courage, plus tremendous support and encouragement by Helen. In fact Ike is so fit now that he has resumed his practice of consulting engineer. He also was reappointed state chemist for the State of Connecticut by Governor O'Neill for a further term of two years.

Recently, while in La Jolla, CA, it occurred to me that some time back The Reporter had noted that FRANK PRYOR had moved to Southern California. Sure enough the San Diego area phone book listed one Rev. Francis J. Pryor, III. Result, Frank answered the phone and we had a very pleasant conversation, it being our first contact since graduating. The only unfortunate note was Frank's informing me of the passing away of his wife of 56

33

years two weeks previously, on April 16th.

Otherwise, it was good to chat with an old classmate, and I hope it did as much in making Frank's day as it did mine.

I gather that JIM BURR's duties as president of the International Seniors Golf Amateur Society keep him traveling here and abroad on official business a good part of the time, some of which I'm sure finds him coaxing that elusive little white ball into the cup on all those courses the Seniors play.

Let's hear from some of you other classmates.

Prior to the Reunion, letters were received from BILL ANGUS, DENNY FARNELL, CHARLIE HAASER, DUANE FLAHERTY, BOB RODNEY and ART WARD. Bill, Denny and Charlie were replying to my letters, which I had sent urging their presence on campus.

Much to my chagrin, I seem to have lost the letters from Duane, Bob and Art. I brought them to Trinity and quoted them at length to various classmates. I do recall to some extent the contents. Duane recalled some happy summers at Crescent Beach in Niantic during college. He also surprised me by saying he was married all throughout college. Bob regretted not being able to return. He mentioned being quite busy on two books that he is readying for publication. He also mentioned a son graduating in 1985 from Trin. Art sent a very nice photo of him and his attractive long-time bride.

Last items: '35 contributed $17,867 as class gift and received recognition as having the best percentage of returnees.

There follows a summary of a letter from TONY PADDON, a.k.a. W. ANTHONY PAD DON, Lieut. Governor of Newfoundland. Actually that is a misnomer as, unlike in the U.S., Tony is governor of Newfoundland and lieutenant only to the Governor General of Canada. Tony has held this appointive position since 1981.

Politically neutral, he represents Queen Elizabeth as head of state and acts for her in the entertainment of ambassadors and high commissioners. Though a demanding job, it is one he has found interesting and

Class of 1935

enjoyable. His current address is: Hon. W. Anthony Paddon CM MD Lieut. Governor of Newfoundland Government House, Military Road St. Johns, Nfld. AiC 5W4 Canada.

Tony has one daughter who is in charge of a neuro-surgical nursing unit and three sons: an airplane pilot, a naval officer and one working on an offshore drilling well.

For many years Tony worked the medical vineyards of the Labrador Grenfoll Mission until his retirement in 1979 as director of Northern Medical Services in Labrador. This was interrupted in WW II by a fairly long stint in the Royal Canadian Navy, where he served as Lieut. (Surg) and Lt. Comdr. (Surg).

Tony hopes to complete two books: "one I hope will be entertaining, and one a more informative one on the Canadian North as seen in Labrador, with observations and views on the changing North, especially in regards to the Indian and Inuit populations, on the medical and health changes and the eradication of certain diseases."

Tony - good luck on the books - hope to hear more at a later date - and we're sorry that you couldn't make the 50th.

DR. HERB FINEBERG has retired as senior research manager of the Ashland Chemical Co. DON HEYEL reports an address change to 1559 Laureldale Drive, Raleigh, NC 27609.

The 50th was a MEMORABLE occasion. At least 29 (I may have missed some) strolled the campus at one time or another.

There were so many divergent attractions that only at the dinners (particularly at the induction into the Half Century Club) did we assemble en masse. In attendance, many with wives, were PEARCE ALEXANDER, JACK AMPORT, BILL ANGUS, BILL BUESS, STEVE COFFEY, BILL CURTIS, FRED DUENNEBIER, DENNY FARNELL, BOB FIELD, CHARLIE HAASER, TOM HAGARTY, ORSON HART, ART HAZENBUSH, JOHN HERALD, OLLIE JOHNSON, CURT JUNKER, LU KELLAM, STAN KUNZE, MAC LANE, JACK MAHER,

The memory of the short but poignant ceremony honoring our departed classmates in the Friendship Chapel .. . "'Neath the Elms" ... The sight of the strong young grads meeting the challenge of the closing years of the 20th century . . The recollection of those dramatic and dynamic days during 19311935 in the world and at Trinity as narrated by Alumni Director, JERRY HANSEN '51.

In conclusion, the Class of '35, your SECRETARY reports, is continuing the Warner Scholarship Fund. As part of the 50th Reunion, Denny Farnell and Bill Angus contributed very generously to the Fund. Expect some letters from me in the future to '35ers to boost the Fund.

The Class owes many thanks to the efforts of Jerry Hansen, FRANK SHERMAN '50, co-chairmen Lu Kellam, Ollie Johnson and Orson Hart. A special tribute to Ollie and Garnette for their usual tasteful brunch, which culminated the 50th.

Thanks also to the weather which cooperated quite nicely.

JACK WILLIAMS' recovery irom serious heart problems is indicated by the following note: "I missed the wedding of my granddaughter, Ariane, in Brussels last September, due to my being in the hospital. I'm making up for it by a trip there via the Q.E.II in April. Now I am hopihg to be '36's first great-grandfather(?!)."

Last fall, ROBERT McKEE and his wife, Minna, were visiting daughter Connie at Yale's graduate school of business. He writes that, together with his other daughter, Robin, they spent a "delightful hour visiting with AL DEXTER and his wife at their home." They also toured the Trinity campus. Both daughters are accomplished singers - Connie was rehearsal soloist with the San Francisco Symphony Chorus and Robin has been a member of the Toronto Symphony Chorus for the past two years. Regarding his health, and some problems with his heart, he notes, "I maintain a regimen of diet, medicine and exercise - about three miles of walking and trudging each day. About five hours each day in the office is all I can handle, but I am enjoying life and that is the main thing."

The "Phonothon Committee" for the 45th Reunion (June 13-16, 1985) consisted of STAN ALEXANDER, GUS ANDRIAN, HERB BLAND, QUENT GALLAGHER, AL HOPKINS, WALLY HOWE, TOMMY McLAUGHLIN, DICK MORRIS, JIM NEILL, BOB RANDALL and BUD TIBBALS. Each deserves a special vote of thanks for making the 45th Reunion the success that it was. (See review to follow.)

OTTO DUNNBIER, vice president and general manager of the Taylor and Modeen Funeral Home, West Hartford, retires this year.

DR. DUNCAN YETMAN, superintendent of schools in Trumbull, also retired at the end of the school year, closing a long and distinguished career in public education.

The RT. REV. BOB KERR, Episcopal Bishop of Vermont (who along with the REV. PROF. BILL WOLF of ETS holds an S.T.D., honorary degree from Trinity), has asked for the appointment of an adjunct bishop who will one day succeed him as Bishop of Vermont. The Diocesan Convention held for this purpose prevented Bob from attending our 45th Reunion.

ED LAPAC is retired from Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, U.T. His daughter, Karen, a senior at William Hall High School, West Hartford, has been accepted at Colby College, Waterville, ME. BILL McCARTHY, always a loyal Trinity supporter, continues his long battle with ill health. A special message was sent to him from his classmates who attended the 45th Reunion.

The RT. REV. DR. WAYNE JOHNSON, rector of the Holy Comforter Parish in Kenilworth, IL, reports that in recent years he has met Bishops BOB KERR and AL VAN DUZER at various church conferences.

QUE NT GALLAGHER has moved back to New England from his former home in Tennessee, settling in South Harpswell, ME , on the shores of Casco Bay. He reports that PROF. BOB COOPER of Rhodes College (formerly Southwestern, Memphis) plans to be in England this summer, and that JOHN HAZEN trained for the June triathlon event in Nashville. John is a past winner of the event for those over 60. A mountain climber with the Sierra Club, John has his sights set on conquering the Grand Tetons- which puts the rest of us to shame.

BEN WEBBER notes that he is thinking of relocating to Wilmington, NC. BOB PYE sends news of the birth of granddaughter Natalie Amelia Pye, born 3/3/85. He writes that the "new grandma has own car and mink coat now, but no yacht."

RALPH SHELLY, former director of personnel at Eastman Chemical Products, now lives in retirement in Kingsport, TN. JACK WHITE of Fredricksburg, TX, attended a family reunion in Arizona gathered to commemorate the settlement of that state 100 years ago.

WALLY HOWE spent part of the past winter in Scottsdale, AZ, before returning to Connecticut in April. He saw Marian and AI Van Duzer last October, and the couples met again at our 45th Reunion.

CHARLIE WALKER, organist and choirmaster at the Church of the Heavenly Rest, New York City, gave a special organ recital in the Trinity Chapel on Saturday, June 15. A protege of Trinity's eminent impresario of the organ, professor emeritus of music, Clarence Watters, Charlie is a fellow and past president of the American Guild of Organists and a master in his own right.

DICK MORRIS and his wife, Alice, entertained PROF. GUS ANDRIAN and wife, PEGGY (M.A. '66), and their daughter, BARRIE ANDRIAN BURDEN '79, and husband, David Burden, earlier this year. Barrie and David, former professional divers on the Mary Rose project off Portsmouth, England, hosted the Morrises during their visit to the British Isles in 1983.

BILL WOLF is still doing part-time

teaching at the Episcopal Theological Seminary, Cambridge, MA, and recently wrote a novel (See Headliner). Eleanor and Bill drove down from their retreat in the Berkshires for the Class of '40 Reunion Dinner, June 15.

The Class of '40 Memorial Scholarship Fund will again be released for scholarships. In the face of rising costs of a college education, we can make no more important contribution than to meet the goal we set at our 45th Reunion.

REUNION REPORT: The Trinity Class of 1940 brought back to the campus for its 45th Reunion the following people: BOB and Charlotte ANDERSON, GUS and PEGGY (M.A. '66) ANDRIAN, ERNIE BENGSTON, HERB and Dottie BLAND, WALLY and Marguerite BORIN, ERNIE and Betty ESSEX, RAY FERGUSON, QUENT and Doris GALLAGHER, CLARENCE and Ruth GRANDAHL, BILL and Muriel GREENWOOD, AL and Jean HOPKINS, WALLY and Shirley HOWE, Mrs. CARMINE LA VIERI (Dot) as guest of honor, TOMMY and Doris McLAUGHLIN, DICK and Alice MORRIS, DICK and Carol ONDERDONK, BOB and Edythe RANDALL, STEVE and Irene RILEY, JACK and Mary RITTER, BUD and Christina TIBBALS, AL and Marian VAN DUZER, CHARLIE WALKER, BILL and Eleanor WOLF, and DUNCAN and Janet YETMAN. There were 23 classmates who with their spouses numbered 44 in all. Three couples had arrived by Thursday evening (June 13) to take up quarters in Funston Hall on the South Campus. The majority checked in by Friday noon. Class Headquarters in the lounge on the third floor of Funston Hall was a busy gathering place on Friday afternoon and again in the evening, as an unusually cool breeze drove classmates and their spouses indoors.

Under a colorful pavilion tent near the Chapel, the Class of '40 enjoyed a sumptuous clambake Friday evening, surrounded by friends from non-reunion classes.

Saturday, June 15th, was the Class of '40's banner day. It began with the Alumni Parade, our section led by Professor Gustave Andrian, who served as marshal.

Headliner John T. Carpenter '41, senior vice president of Chittenden Bank in Burlington, VT, has received the Outstanding Community Service Banker Award of the Vermont Bankers Association. Carpenter has been president of eight civic organizations in the Burlington area, including the YMCA and the Chamber of Commerce, and has served in some capacity in at least 15 other civic, charitable, or educational organizations over the past 18 years.

After the Alumni Association meeting in the Ferris Athletic Center, where the Class of 1940 was honored for exceeding its goal for contributions to the Alumni Fund, an - award accepted by Class Agent Wally Borin, classmates returned to the Quad for a buffet luncheon. The everywherepresence of President James English assured the Class of 1940 that the College was in good hands.

At 3:45 p.m., the Rt. Rev. Albert Van Duzer, retired Bishop of New Jersey, assisted by the Rev. Ernest Bengston, officiated at a memorial service to the deceased members of the Class - held in the Friendship Chapel. The Bishop's words were well-chosen. Herb Bland read the names of all 44 departed classmates.

Following the Memorial Service, classmates and their wives joined other alumnae, alumni and friends in the main College Chapel where Professor Emeritus Richard K. Morris introduced his distinguished classmate, organist Charles D. Walker, who gave an outstanding performance on the great organ. The program celebrated the tercentenary of the birth of Johann Sebastian Bach. The Liszt "Prelude and Fugue on B* A *C*H*" was an exceptional rendition. The recital concluded with works from Jean Langlais, who dedicated "Themes" to Charles and Janet Walker.

The organist's teacher, Trinity Professor of Music Emeritus, Clarence Watters, was present to hear his former pupil's recital.

On Saturday evening (a warm and beautiful evening), 22 classmates and their spouses returned to the Canoe Club in East Hartford where they had held their 40th Reunion Dinner. The atmosphere and cuisine matched that provided five years earlier. Class officers were elected. Over Dick Morris's objections, President Al Hopkins declared him "unanimously" elected Secretary, with Herb Bland adding "in perpetuity." Herb accepted the vice presidency and Charlie Walker became Treasurer " without a treasury." Wally Borin continues as Class Agent.

Messages were received and read from Vermont Bishop BOB KERR, BILL HARRISON, STAN ALEXANDER and BOB CRABBE. DON SMITH called the Canoe Club from Overland Park, KN, declaring he would make the 50th Reunion.

Dot Lavieri (widow of the late CARMINE LA VIERI) was acknowledged as having the greatest number of grandchildren - fourteen , beating runners-up Edythe and Bob Randall, winners with eleven in 1980.

Al Hopkins awarded three pieces of a Trinity elm which had fallen in the ice storm of 1972 and the pieces interestingly carved with a 4TO to Bishop AI VanDuzer, Charlie Walker and Dot Lavieri. Wondering whether other remains of the venerable tree had rotted in his cellar, he was surprised when Herb Bland presented him with a beautifully polished section with a brass plate inscribed '"Neath the Elms" and listing his contributions to the Class of '40 and to Trinity College. This surprise

was Jean Hopkins' best-kept secret from her husband. She had surreptitiously conveyed the precious wood to Herb.

The 45th Reunion of the Class of 1940 ended with a pleasant social hour renewing old friendships.

Your SECRETARY, RAY THOMSEN and ED SMITH and our spouses showed the flag for the Class of 1941 at the annual alumni Clambake on June 14. Ray was closely observing the proceedings, since he is already making plans for the biggest and best reunion ever, come 1986. Ed has been adding to his collection of antique cars and is under intense pressure from our Reunion Chairman to make a large number available for the alumni parade next year.

Ray, the aforesaid chairman, became a grandfather for the first time on April 2, with the birth of Kirsten. He is very happy about the event and was quoted as saying that everyone should be a grandparent.

We were all sorry to learn of the death of ALDEN JOHNSON (see In Memory).

Alden was one of the most loyal of Trinity alumni, and never missed a class reunion.

Our sympathy goes out to his family.

LARRY MARSHALL was one of 12 people from Connecticut who visited the Soviet Union last October on a trip sponsored by the U.S.-U.S.S.R. Bridges for Peace group, which is headquartered at the Norwich, VT Peace Center. Their journey took them to Moscow, Leningrad and Yerevan, capital of Soviet Armenia. Larry and his wife, Betsey, took with them a quilt, made by her, as a gift for a Soviet Union church, preferably in Armenia, which is the oldest Christian country in the world. Larry, now retired, was a guidance counselor and director at East Lyme and Old Saybrook high schools and also taught at the Coast Guard Academy in New London. He said that he was mainly interested in doing what he could to correct some of the misconceptions and false impressions the Soviets have about Americans, and thereby help to promote the cause of peace.

The Thirtieth Reunion was considered a rousing success for what is often thought of as an "off year." It was wonderful to see so many classmates, some we had not seen for 30 years. The most notable was Panama's TERRY FORD, who easily walked away with the trophy for the returnee who traveled the greatest distance.

Terry demonstrated the same youthful spark and enthusiasm of his college days, and it was refreshin~ to see him again after so many years.

Another popular classmate back for his initial reunion was BILL NIXON and his wife, Atheline. They live in Wayland, near Boston, and were a great addition to the group. Also, everyone enjoyed seeing IGOR ISLAMOFF and his guest, Judy Cramer. "III" is pursuing a successful medical career as a general surgeon in Johnstown, PA. WILLIAM C. "KIT" MORGAN demonstrated a determination to get to the Reunion using whatever means necessary (bus) from Oneonta, NY, where he is a Ph.D. professor of ancient and medieval history for the State University of New York.

HOWIE YOOD and his wife, Helen, took the honors of being the first to officially sign in for the Reunion, along with BOB FEINBERG who contributed much to the success of the weekend. Bob and WADE CLOSE demonstrated a grandiose choke job during the alumni tennis tournament, allowing ED YEOMANS (not the best tennis player, but certainly the best athlete) to walk away with the winner's trophy. Ed showed he has not lost his calm in the heat of competition.

Committeeman DAVE DIMLING, who successfully encouraged our classmates to return, also brought back his charming wife, Connie, and their combined effervescent personalities brightened the gatherings. Michigan residents PAUL and Bev HINES, plus Betsy and GORDON MAITLAND, were long-distance travelers to the Reunion. MOE THOMAS was back by special request after being such a big hit at the 25th. He is a special person and you can see why "his calling" is counseling.

Although DICK FREYTAG is residing and working in Wilmington, he was joined by a very attractive and bright young woman, (anyone under 45 is young!), Pam Burge, who is from Washington, D.C. Also from Wilmington, JAY RALPH and his wife, Carol (the saint), were participants for the four-day weekend. Jay made us envious as he detailed his retirement from DuPont. He is too young to retire; somebody offer him a position; he is a hot-shot computer technician.

LINCOLN HANSEL added his unique touch to the group, bringing his bohemian and stimulating personality to become one

Class of 1950

of the more interesting and entertaining members of our Class. DAVE ROBERTS and his wife, Shirley, looked happy and relaxed during the weekend; Dave away from the crush of the steel industry, and Shirley away from the never-ending responsibilities of the Class of '55's largest family. BOB and Joyce HODES enjoyed the gathering. It was good to see CHUCK LEONARD, even though it was just for Saturday lunch.

BILL O'HARA stole the show at the Saturday noon alumni annual meeting as Trinity recognized our classmate for outstanding service to his alma mater and his community, as well as his professional accomplishment. The Trinity Alumni Award is a special recognition and Bill so justly deserved it. He and Bobbie continue to enjoy the life of an academic prexy at Bryant College in Smithfield, RI. The Saturday night gathering was an enjoyable surprise as many of our Class made a special effort to attend the dinner.

Our designated room at Mather was just large enough, but the tight fit made for a spirited evening. CRAIG MEHLDAU made his grand appearance, winning the award for the shortest period of time at the Reunion, but it was good to see him so trim and dapper. At our Class banquet the nominating committee headed by SCOTT PRICE presented a slate of officers for our Class for the next five years. The primary responsibility is to coordinate the 1990 Reunion and to maximize class support. JOE MICHELSON was tapped to act as president and reunion chairman; DICK WAINMAN was named vice president; WADE CLOSE continues as secretary; JOE REINEMAN stays as class agent, but will be ably helped by DAVE DIMLING and BILL LaPORTE as assistant class agents.

Unfortunately the Saturday evening event was not long enough to allow lengthy visits before the need for many to depart on two or three hour car rides to home. We only spent a brief time with BOB WELSH, PHIL TRUITT, LEE LAHEY, RON MOSS, and DICK ZAMPIELLO. All wished there had been more time and a way to extend the evening.

We were sorry that HANK SCHEINBERG, DON CARDWELL and JOHN DLUHY could not return since clearly they have earned bragging rights for their accomplishment of having the youngest children in the Class, all born in the last year

and a half.

The crown for having the youngest child goes to JOHN DLUHY whose daughter, Pam, was born August 29, 1984. Sara Cardwell was born in June, 1984 to father, DON, who confidently states "he will return!" Hank, any retort?

BOB WERNER has formed a partnership with some impressive Washington, D.C. government types to provide investment consulting services. JOHN FOLEY has become manager of the Worcester, MA Country Club and ROGER SCHERER is most proud of his 15-year-old daughter who won the Minnesota State Diving Championship.

He has two daughters, Lisa (18), who starts college at C.hapel Hill in the fall, and Tori (16), who is in high school.

Next, just a quick note from your SECRETARY on my participation with the Trinity National Alumni Board. Issues relating to fund raising, class identity and the overall functioning of alumni with the College have captured the spotlight so far.

Trinity continues to grow in stature, attracting an ever-improving quality of student with each incoming freshman class.

That's about all that's fit to print now.

Hope your summer was as enjoyable and productive as ever.

Caffeine Stimulates Research You probably never imagined that leftover breakfast coffee could serve any useful purpose. But if you poured enough coffee on your tomato plants, the caffeine it contains would probably act as an insecticide.

The concept of using caffeine and related compounds as insecticides on a large-scale basis is the subject of scientifically-controlled research which is being conducted by Dr. James A. Nathanson '68.

Nathanson, who has directed the neuropharmacology research laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital since 1979, explains that his lab's research may lead to the development of a new class of insecticides which will be less toxic to humans than the types currently used. His article on the topic, which was published in Science magazine last October, stirred widespread media interest and was reported on the CBS Evening News, in The New York Times, and numerous other national and international publications.

Nearly a year later, Nathanson and his team of technicians are continuing their research. Nathanson explains that it may be a few years before they determine the effectiveness, safety and feasi-" bility of using caffeine-based insecticides.

"As we all know, the problem with many insecticides is that they are toxic to humans as well as to many animals important to the food chain. But caffeine and caffeine-like compounds are substances about which we already know a great deal, certainly more than about most available insecticides, and the side effects of caffeine-like compounds appear to be relatively minor in humans and animals," Nathanson says.

Initially, Nathanson sought to determine why caffeine exists naturally in some plants, particularly tropical and sub-tropical ones. His findings indicated that these plants had developed caffeine over time as a natural protectant against insects and that caffeine worked by affecting cyclic AMP, a chemical in the insect's cells. From there, he went on to study the possibility of using caffeine sprays to protect other plants and ·crops.

In tests, Nathanson found that caffeine and caffeine-related compounds worked by inhibiting a particular enzyme, probably in the insect's nervous system. When tobacco hornworms, mealworms and mosquito larvae fed on leaves sprayed with caffeine equivalent to the amount in 10 cups of coffee, the

results were dramatic. The insects became uncoordinated, h yperactive, had tremors and their growth was stunted.

Larger doses killed the insects within days. The tests also determined that when smaller amounts of caffeine were combined with other insecticides, a synergistic effect was created. This synergy resulted in far more potent effects than when the insecticides were used separately.

"This doesn't mean caffeine is any more toxic than before we discovered this. I don't want people to think that they've been drinking an insecticide," Nathanson says.

He is continuing tests to determine if an economical caffeine-like substance can be marketed for large~scale use by farmers. The next step is to ·make stronger caffeine derivatives and to combine them with compounds that will affect hormones found only in invertebrates to reduce potential toxicity to people.

Though Nathanson's caffeine research made national news, his lab's overall purpose is to develop drugs for use in the nervous system. The development of anti-glaucoma drugs and the physiology and biochemistry of brain-barrier systems are among Nathanson's current research interests.

Nathanson received his medical degree and doctoral degree in neuropharmacology from Yale in 1973. He is an associate professor of neurology and an affiliate in the neuroscience program at Harvard Medical School. He is a member of the U.S. Standing Committee on Insect Neuroscience, a member of the editorial board of Insect Biochemistry and has written many articles for scientific journals.

Among his recent awards were the McKnight Development Award in Neuroscience and the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers' Association Foundation Career Development Award. In 1982, he was chosen as one of Boston's 10 outstanding young leaders by the Boston Jaycees.

Nathanson's scientific ability was evident from his early childhood when he began tinkering in a basement lab. He was 13 when he won the first of three national awards in the Ford Future Scientists of America Competition. He entered Trinity as a sophomore, worked in scientific programming at the Institute of Living throughout his undergraduate career and graduated as salutatorian in 1968. • - Martha Davidson

Area Association Activities CHICAGO - President Thomas H. Knorr, Jr. '59, Tel: (312) 726-2633 The Trinity Club of Chicago met at Ravinia in July to hear John Williams conduct the Boston Pops. The event set an attendance record for the 50-year history of Ravinia.

In August, a successful picnic for area incoming freshmen was held at the home of Dick Hall in Winnetka.

CAPE COD- The home of Mrs. Phyllis Mason in West Chatham was the scerie of the 22nd annual Cape Cod Chowder Party on August 5th. President James F. English, Jr. welcomed a crowd of over 60 alumni/ae, parents, and friends to the midsummer bash.

Guests were treated to homemade clam chowder and an assortment of salads, with a breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop to the festivities. Alumni/ae present represented a wide range of classes, from 1929 to a few members of the Class of 1985, Trinity's newest alumni/ae. Also in attendance were several members ofthe Trinity administration and incoming members of the Class of 1989 from the Boston area. By all accounts, the day on the Cape was a huge success.

HARTFORD -President Jay T. Hostetter '71, Tel: (203) 241-2404 Despite a heavy rain, nearly 50 people turned out for the third annual Trinity Club of Hartford Carillon Concert Cookout on August 7th on the Quad. While the popular carillon concert was still held inside the Chapel, those who braved the elements to attend the picnic afterwards needed to take refuge in Hamlin Hall. Led by event chairman Tom Tamoney '42 and President James English, Jr., the still-merry picnickers feasted on a dinner of hamburgers, hot dogs, corn-on-the-cob, and watermelon. The "picnic" went on to be a great success, especially since the ants were left to fend for themselves outside.

PHILADELPHIA - President B. Graeme Frazier III, Tel: (215) 836-5682 Happiness Farm in Doylestown, PA was just that as more than 100 alumni/ae, students, and friends gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Eastburn '56 (and children Page '84 and Bill Jr. '87) for the second annual Trinity Club of Philadelphia's midsummer cookout party on August lOth. The Eastburns' lovely farm was the ideal setting for the alumni bash. The poolside cookout featured a disc jockey, swimming, tennis, and the best hamburgers in Pennsylvania, courtesy of "Chef" David Gerber '61. Said one alumna, "This was the best Trinity party I've ever been to, either at Trinity or after!" Most alumni/ae present agreed, with the party continuing well past midnight. Several Philadelphia-area members of the incoming class of 1989 were also present and received a memorable welcome to the Trinity community. Future parties will have a tough act to follow . needs of our upscale client base. Quite a change for me after 15 years of trust work."

On Friday, June 14, a phenomenal Canadian high blew into Connecticut's tobacco valley to herald our 15th Reunion .

Cool, clean, crisp and sparkling air enveloped the campus as we sat down to delightful clams, lobster and steak cooked outdoors on the Quad.

The evening was a blissful experience in every way. The lawn and trees were lush and green; the tablecloths were pure white.

Pure white, that is, until sullied by hot butter dripping off big succulent pieces of New England lobster!

It was wonderful to see old friends and renew acquaintances in such a bucolic environment. In many instances, new friendships were sparked as a result of some of us encountering each other really for the first time, because our friendship circles had not overlapped while we were under-

graduates. Somehow the commonality of our Trinity experience produced an amazing rapport among all of us, and exciting and interesting conversation flowed spontaneously in each instance.

Throughout the weekend, the varied and interesting lectures, sports events, and social gatherings which the College planned for us were terrific. Your SECRETARY, for example, had the privilege of attending an excellent lecture on the historical roots of Soviet behavior. The lecture included an analysis of a wholly new method of researching and teaching history to which I have never previously been exposed. At still another history lecture, I was joined by classmates TULLY and CAMPBELL in challenging many of the theses of lecturer JOHN H. CHATFIELD '64, who talked on "Another Look at the Sixties" -i.e., the Class of 1970 was true to form.

Parents who brought their children were delighted to find a host of planned activities for them. Exciting trips and movies and good food kept their eyes sparkling.

Although I am sure I must have missed some of the children in our Class who came, I did enjoy the opportunity to at least meet and splash with the young Leesons, Orgains and Cambers at the Trowbridge Pool.

Saturday night turned out to be more fun than any of us ever dreamed. We gathered in a lovely new reception area on the second floor of Mather Hall which overlooks the yard leading to the facade of the Austin Arts Center. We then sat at large round tables for dinner. Conversation, increasingly eclectic as the meal went on, ranged from the Italian Renaissance to the latest in passive solar architecture inVermont to the fun of child rearing. Never a mention of the superficial concerns one frequently finds at cocktail parties, primarily because of the real joy which we all shared in having the opportunity to be with one another again.

After dinner, MARTY WILLIAMS, having been duly awarded for traveling the greatest distance to attend the Reunion (he came all the way from Wales!), joined ERNIE MATTEI in succumbing to an overwhelming compulsion to create a publike atmosphere. They disappeared for a moment, then returned laboriously pushing an upright piano on wheels. We all headed directly to the new outdoor patio adjacent to the reception area. ED WELLS '71 assumed the chair, and miraculously was able to play (extremely well, I

might add) any tune from the late '60s to early '70s which the assembled crowd could recall. REVEREND WYLAND seemed to remember the words best, so he led the chorus. Our melodic bellowing almost drowned out the band in the nearby Washington Room (which provided great dancing/boogying/whatever for those who wished), but we just could not suppress the feeling of fellowship and warmth which our voices created as we became more and more tightly packed around the piano under the stars.

At the 5th and lOth Reunions, I frequently became melancholy at the thought of having so little time to interact with so many people with whom I once relished communicating for hours and hours in the timeless atmosphere of a liberal arts undergraduate education. Time suddenly becomes so short at a reunion, but this June it seemed to bother me less. The 15th was an intense experience of delightful imagery, to be enjoyed and relished as it unfolded. We all grasped the moment, and we loved it.

Those in attendance included the following (if I missed you, I'm only human, but you forgot to sign up on the Official Registration List): JOHN PYE, SCOTT MARSHALL, MARTY WILLIAMS, DICK WYLAND, ERNIE MATTEI, GEORGE MUNKWITZ, JACK HALE, GLENN GAMBER, DOUG GREENE, FRAN MINITER, JOHN GALLO, HOWARD GILBERT, WALT MOODY, DIX LEESON, BILL PEELLE, ED WELLS, PETE ORGAIN, BOB GEARY, STEVE HAMILTON, PETE CAMPBELL, TONY DIBELLA, BOB HARRITY, PETER BRINCKERHOFF, JIM TULLY, TOM SAGER, HOWARD ALFRED, BILL NEWBURY, JAY MILLARD, ANDY SHAW, GENE NEWELL, CARLO FORZAN! , JOHN CHAPIN, CHARLIE FOSS and YOURS TRULY. And, by the way: JERRY BARTLETT has been promoted to the position of southeast regional manager/real estate by New York Life Insurance Company.

BILL DAIBER and his wife have a new son (see Births).

RANDY MAN is currently a film critic with the Santa Fe Reporter.

DALE REED is now marketing manager of Microwave Frequency Circuit Board Products (high tech manufacturing!) for Suladyne Division of Rogers Corporation, in Poway, CA. His wife, Gail, and their three children are looking forward to their move there.

PATTERSON SIMS, associate curator, permanent collection at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, had a part, with the museum's other curators, in its Biennial, held this spring. The New York Times described the Biennial as "the only exhibition in the United States in which new American art can be seen regularly in a larger context"!

WARREN TANGHE, rector of Church of the Advent in Louisville, KY, took that position in September of 1984. In January of this year, he married Ingrid Helene Siegert (see Weddings). SCOTT MARSHALL was his best man.

Finally, please note that those in attendance at the 15th Reunion elected the following officers mainly for the purpose of coordinating a spectacular 20th: your SECRETARY, president and secretary; ERNIE MATTEI, vice president; ERNIE .- MATTEI and GERRY MILBANK, cotreasurers.

Many thanks to JOHN CHAPIN for inviting all attendees to his restaurant, Shenanigans, for a delightful Sunday brunch.

JOHN PYE enjoyed himself so much that he invited us to a "mid-summer cookout, bash and good time party" a month later.

ALAN FARNELL has written to us that our Class hit 101 o/o of its goal for the 1984 -1985 annual fund drive - a very nice reunion year gift!

Back again - how is everybody? It's early summer when I'm writing and, despite the above address, this is being penned in Hartford. Don't ask why, just note the address above so you can drop me a line during the coming year!

This issue's notes start off with apologies. PATTY HOOPER called me last week, from her office here in Hartford for Shipman & Goodwin, to report lots of news, but I didn't get the items in time because she's now off to vacation in Canada. This week I also ran into SARAH GLYNN - on a Connecticut river boat

cruise, of all places! Ever the faithful secretary, I tried to get "the word" from her, but Sarah had so much news I've forgotten most of it. (What survives is below.) So, sorry for what's missing - it gives you something to look forward to, though!

ROB AHRENSDORF gave me a call in Chicago in the spring. He's now graduated with a master's in management from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in Chicago. He was on his way out of town, headed for a career in Minneapolis for General Mills. Also finished with his master's in Chicago, JIM DOD has received a degree from the University of Illinois in clinical psychology. But Chicago still has its share of students still slaving toward that degree. KATHY SHIELDS and MATT SMITH are both at the Kellogg School, graduating next spring. On the South Side, TOM HEFFERON is getting ready for a graduation next spring, also - with a J.D. from the University of Chicago. Hats off to my fellow Chicago students - for hard work, determination, and for surviving the coldest Chicago winter ever!

Also surviving that winter, JIM PHELPS writes to note his job with Sudler & Company, where he works in real estate and to note his upcoming wedding in February of next year. Congrats! Also deserving kudos since last issue's news

from Chicago, ELLIN CARPENTER SMITH has landed a job as an assistant account executive at Pitz Advertising downtown.

I've heard again from MARY ANN CONNORS-KRIKORIAN. She's finished her master's in education in reading and continues as an elementary school teacher at Fort Bragg, NC, where her husband is stationed. Also checking in with happy news, CHRISSY MASTERS has now gotten married- to Roger Livingston Jones on June 22. She's still at First Pennsylvania Bank.

More family news comes in from all over.

SANDY FRAZIER CONNELLY proudly announces the birth of her daughter (see Births). BERT and JOCELYN ZUG have a similar announcement of their own (see Births, again). On the marriage side, BILL LINDQUIST, now living in WinstonSalem, NC, has just married LISA NEBBIA '83 on May 25. Finally, by the time everyone gets this, ALICE HARLOW will also have her wedding - to Massimo Ronconi of Rome (Italy, not New York State!).

Alice has returned from her Peace Corps stint, and will also finish her M.B.A. in international business at American University about a month before her big day on August 24. Hearty congratulations to everyone, from your fellow '82ers.

year at Washington & Lee Law School, wrote in to say hello from Lexington, VA. Only one hello from the West Coast came through this time- CHARLES DOLAN, who is now in San Francisco, where he's stationed in the Navy. VIRGINIA KNETZGER dropped a quick hello as well - she's now working for Metropolitan Life, a new job that she's really psyched about. She says the people are great and the work is challenging, interesting and a lot of fun! Now that's what I like to hear ...

Some local news comes through as well.

DAVE HOWE, still writing his master's thesis in chemical engineering for Tufts, has come back to Connecticut and is working in Waterbury as a research chemist for McDermid. Also moving back to the state of our alma mater, SARA KLOCKE now makes her home in Stamford while she continues to work for Ogilvy & Mather as an assistant media planner in New York City. And, not yet back in Connecticut, PETER GUTERMANN sends word from Cleveland that he'll be graduating from Case Western Reserve University Law School in May of 1986 and "hopes to come back to Hartford to work." That's welcome news, to a fellow law student like myself who has the same destination in mind!

STEVE PEKOCK is also back in town, though with Steve you never know for how long! He's now development director for the American Heart Association in Hartford. Steve reports sightings of LARRY TORRES, at the "Hahvahd" (i.e. Harvard) Graduate School of Education. And on this one I have independent verification, as Larry dropped me a letter last month. He's soon on his way to teach high school history and government in California and is glad he figured out he "enjoys working with people more than pushing products." He also has some contributions on a couple of fellow alums - MARK ITALIA traveled to California last August with Larry for the Olympics and STEVE PEKOCK and DAVE PALERMO went off in the other direction this spring, to Scotland and Wales for a 2-week tour. Thanks for the news, Larry.

STEVE ELMENDORF, in case you haven't heard from our Class-Agent-inpolitics in the last giving season, is still working for the Public Service Commission as an outreach and education specialist in the consumer services division in Albany, NY. In his spare time he's working on Governor Cuomo's re-election campaign, having finished his work on the Mondale-Ferraro campaign. (He actually used the term "survived.") Looks like there's more in store from Steve in the . future ...

In the past, I believe we left MIKE TUCCI in the middle of a question I posed at the end of the last report. Well, I checked out the rumor of the Forbes artie]~ and, sure enough, Mike was featured in an article on March 25 about college recruiting. The article - complete with two feature pictures and a plug for Trinity in the first sentence - followed Mike's travels over a week as he did college recruiting in upper New York State. The article is worth the read - I'm sure you can get your hands on it if you call Mike! "Tooch," (yes, the article says he's still got his nickname), "Who sports the ruggedly handsome yet boyish looks of a college football player- which he was at Trinity," (I just quote it, I didn't write it) is on a one-year assignment, hopefully on his way to a fasttrack - to buyer at Macy's. Impressive.

That's about it for now. Another Trinity Reunion Weekend was held last month only a few more months and it will be our turn. (JUSTIN GEORGE and ERNIE MATTEI '70, with whom I work this summer at .Day, Berry & Howard in Hartford and who were also on the boat trip where I ran into SARAH GLYNN, both said this

weekend was great fun, so ours should be a blast in '87.) Meanwhile, drop a line and let me know how's tricks .. .

This month I feel like our Class of '83 is truly a class of 83 - people, that is. Where are some of you guys? I want to know.

Your classmates want to know. Your class agents want to know- and we know why!

But seriously, let's face it. You must think about good ol' Trin once in a while and wouldn't it be a delight to see your name in print? So fill out a "what-I'm-doingnow" card and send it in.

So much for pleas. On to the news.

BERNICE RIZK was married in June, and another newlywed, VICKY KRAUSHAAR HUESTIS has been appointed the assistant director of external degrees 路at Caldwell College in New Jersey. Also in the education world are WENDY F ARNHAM, who is teaching English "at a conversation school in Japan ... learning lots and trying to read, write, and speak Japanese!" Wendy recently led an English seminar tour through Guam. BERT BANTA is pursuing an M.B.A. in finance and marketing at Claremont Graduate Business School in California; JOHN ZIEDONIS is seeking an M.A. in architecture at UPenn; and JUDY LEIBHOLZ is traveling in France and Yugoslavia, having just completed her M.B.A. Judy will start work in August for Republicbank in Dallas.

In other parts of the country HOLLY MOONEY is the assistant general manager of the National Theater Corporation in Ohio; SCOTT NESBITT is still in charge of the Buick recalls computer system; WILLIAM F. COLBY, JR. has been elected to membership in the Dickinson Journal of International Law for 19851986. J. DE ROCCO is working for WTICTV in Hartford; MARISSA OCASIO has been promoted to research assistant in portfolio management at CIGNA. MARC McDONALD continues to work for an ad agency while studying music, jamming on the sax occasionally, and slyly writing textbooks for fun and profit.

ED KAPLAN wrote from Van Nuys, CA where he is employed by a small computer software house. To provide diversion from his job with Allied Computer Services, Ed plays softball with the company team. Ed mentioned that WHIT WRIGHT and AUSTIN WILMERDING are doing well and enjoying life. (Could you guys send along a bit more info on where and how you are doing well?)

The highlight of the week, however, was the letter from JULIE VEALE, DONNA SMUKLER, and PAULA RYAN. Well, not a real letter, exactly, but about 5 or 6 napkins from New Hampshire. (Listen ...

I'll take anything- old pizza boxes, toilet paper, beer bottle labels, tablecloths - as long as you include your real name when you write!) Anyway, Donna has been promoted to administrative assistant in the public policy department of the Junior League. Her roommate, Julie, has been appointed an officer at the European American Bank. Paula is taking a bite out of the Big Apple, as she works for the law firm of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley, and McClay as a summer associate; she has one more year at George Washington University Law School. The napkins were loaded with news and breadcrumbs. DONNA HUNNICUT is a claims rep at Cigna Corporation in California and is pursuing her M.B.A.; WENDY STRAWBRIDGE is returning to Philadelphia to work for Strawbridge and Clothier; LIZ EAGLESON works in the

trust department of Chase Manhattan Bank; SARAH KOEPPEL just finished her first year of law school as did MARTHA PYLE at Boston University.

I am trying to enjoy life in my parents' home once again. (It was OK for short weekends, but as I change my address on my checks and magazine subscriptions, I'm breaking out in hives.) Please keep those cards, letters, napkins, papyrus, tree bark, old ten dollar bills, etc. coming with lots of news. Prove to me that there are more than 83 of you out there reading this!

DEB CRONIN, SUE CASAZZA, and LIESBETH SEVERIENS, I apologize for the absence of your news - I haven't forgotten you and I'm sorry you've been the victim of unfortunate timing on my part.

To the rest of you, I pass along this belated news. Last winter, Deb, Sue and Liesbeth ran into Olympians Alexi Grewal, Steve Hegg, and Bart Conner at the Plaza in New York and "gave them a real New York welcome."

I saw STEVE TALL in the 50th Street subway station a few months ago. We never finished the conversation because one of us got on the train and one of us missed it.

Thanks to DEB BLISS for the long letter regarding her whereabouts. She spent last summer doing summer stock in Texas.

Since then she did some singing, acting and stage work in Atlantic City, with her next location in mind being L.A. where, at last report, she should be by now.

LISA KOENIG also wrote a couple months ago, from Oxford, where she finished the first year of her "M. Phil." (between a master's and a Ph.D.) in Russian and East European Studies. Any of you heading to England ... she welcomes visitors!

MARY O'BRIEN has joined the Virginia Port Authority Department of Research as a research analyst. She's involved with researching, identifying, and analyzing international market trends.

That's all for now. I hope to hear soon from anyone - please write and let me know what you're doing so everyone can be informed of the adventures of the Class of 1985! Best of luck, health and happiness to you all.
