And alas, no Nobel Prizer winners in our class circle. But we do have a brother of a Pulizer Prize winner!

Just know that our class was one of the last ones to experience:

• Working fireplaces with free wood from the farm
• The Tunnels between buildings making parkas optional in the winter.
• Roof top keggars. The first and last time I saw Northern Lights was on top of Sevy. I'm still amazed.
• Free Lance/T-Birds concerts in Sayles Hill
• Free Lance concerts on Mai Fete Island until the cops shut us down around 10 p.m. The kegs were dry by then anyway.
• Bouncing for Peace
• A BALD SPOT that really looked like Northern France in 1917 in the Spring.
• Speaking of Spring: Smelt Run parties in the Goodhue cafeteria.
• Hollywood movie presentation in person at the Grand Movie theater by director and 2-time academy award winner, Sydney Pollack of his film The Yakuza) starring Robert Mitchum. Also on hand was 1930s Carleton graduate, Robert Gottshalk demoing one of his academy award winning inventions, the hand-held Panaflex movie camera. He also received another academy award for another movie camera he invented, the Panavision 65. And, of course, Carleton's new film professor, former American Film Institute Director, Frank Daniel, another academy award winner. So, 5 academy award winners were in attendance at that film showing at the Grand!
• Cold velveta between Townhouse crackers at the Cave for 50 cents.
• A diploma signed by Jan's husband, Howard.
• This list can go on ...
