    88 DARTMOUTH 88 Winter 2012 First off, congratulations to the Dartmouth Ai- res for coming in second in NBC’s Sing-Off com- petition. It was a lot of fun following their prog- ress each week, and even more fun listening to the enthusiastic reactions from both the audi- ence and the three judges. They did a great job and only proved to the rest of the world what the Dartmouth community already knew – that these guys are talented, fun, witty, and know how to work a room. If you missed any of the shows, you can watch their memorable perfor- mances at: www.nbc.com/sing-off/contestants/dartmouth- aires (the Queen medley is a must-see)! The Dartmouth Aires placed second in ‘The Sing-Off’ Now, where did we leave off? Oh yes, we were following creative pursuits, living the dream, going against the grain, thinking outside the box, (insert own cliche here).

We are in the Ticknor Room at Rauner [Library], and I am speaking with Michael— ODOKARA-OKIGBO: Odokara-Okigbo. LEDDY-CECERE: Odokara-Okigbo, who is also Dartmouth ʼ12, about his experience as a Dartmouth undergraduate, as part of the Dartmouth Community and Dartmouth World Oral History Project. Okay. So to start, can you tell us a little bit about your early upbringing and sort of your life before you came to Dartmouth and the transition into Dartmouth? ODOKARA-OKIGBO: Well, I was born January, 1990. I was born in New York City and moved to Maryland when I was one, and I was with my mom. I was an only child, and she was a single parent. And we lived in Maryland until I was 12, so ʻtill 2002. And then we moved to Maine, where I grew up. I went to middle school and high school there, and then I came to Dartmouth. LEDDY-CECERE: Can you tell me about your experience—how did you find out about Dartmouth? Was Dartmouth, you know, like always something in your life? Was it something that popped into your life later? Talk to me a little bit about how you decided to come to Dartmouth, what that situation was like. ODOKARA-OKIGBO: Yes. Funny story. I remember—I think I was 15; I guess we moved to this house when I was 14—and the street adjacent to the street that we lived on was Dartmouth Street.

    82 News and Views Fall 2012 The post-reunion issue Those of you who made it to our 30th reunion in June know what an epic weekend it was. This issue starts with those events and moves us beyond to the beginning of our second 30 years as Dartmouth alumni. --The Editors 30th Reunion Recap The great Class of ’82 has done it again. A record-setting 273 classmates gathered in Hanover for four spectacular days of reunion festivities June 14-17. The early summer weather was perfect, the food and drink were superb, the panel discussions were lively, and the band rocked the class tent into the wee small hours – long after much younger alumni classes had quieted down for the night. We were entertained by the unbelievable Dartmouth Aires, fresh off their inspiring second-place run on NBC’s The Sing-Off. And we joined our honorary classmate, President Jim Kim ‘82a, at a reception on the President’s lawn on Webster Avenue. Reunion was a chance to revisit old haunts and take part in activities that we enjoyed during our college years. Of course, we also caught up with old friends – classmates who knew us well during our Dartmouth days, and who still seem to “get” us better than most of the people we’ve met in the past three decades. The Dartmouth Aires astounded us during one of The festivities began early for the our class dinners. 1 82 News and Views hardy souls who made it to Mt. Moosilauke on Thursday morning.

  • A Dartmouth '76 Odyssey
    2001: A Dartmouth ’76 Odyssey The 25th Reunion Book of The Class of 1976 Baker Tower Via Northwest Buttress (Hanover, N. H.) Class 5.9, A2. Time: 3 hours. First ascent: Ted Scheu and John Olsen, June 13, 1976. The original 1 party took an additional ⁄2 hour placing a 76 marker on the face, since removed. Note it is not necessary to secure the permission of the land- holder before making this climb. A report of con- ditions on the route would be appreciated; contact Dean’s Office, Parkhurst Hall, (603) 646-2243. This is an athletic and picturesque climb that (for nostalgic reasons) should be included in the 50 Classic Climbs of North America. Views from the summit stretch southward toward the bucolic Connecticut River valley and north to Mt. Cube, Moosilauke, and the beckoning Presidential Range. The overall flavor is of moderate exposure on solid rock, with the main limitation being the absence of protection on much of the route. Approach via the Appalachian Trail to the well-worn path south of the Tower, and circle the tower to its NW corner near Kiewit. The first pitch is quite 1 vertical on offset mortised brick, offering ⁄2-inch hand and toeholds to below the second-story over- hang. Protection is available at this point using the painter’s bolt in the eaves. A difficult 5.9 mantle move surmounts the overhang (there is a good hand- hold in the unseen gutter above). From this point, ascend the ridgeline (Class 3, friction) to the next vertical section, climbed in identical fashion to the first.

  • The 65 Reunion-A Record Setting Promise For
    “Other days are very near us, as we sing here soft and low We can almost hear the voices of the boys of long ago. They are scattered now, these brothers, up and down the world they roam Some have gone to lands far distant, from the dear old college home Some have crossed the silent river, they are looking down tonight The thought of these old brothers, makes our love now burn so bright.” The 65th Reunion-a Record Setting Promise for ‘53 Collins Corner That’s right! Less than three short months to go before we gather once again on the Hanover plane. Under the able leadership of our Reunion Chair, Put Blodgett, this promises to be another 1953 record breaking experience. Put has given you a look at what you can expect elsewhere in this newsletter and here is a review of some of the details. - The cost per person will be down to $275 as the College picks up the tab for the difference. This includes your hotel room for the 28th and 29th and all meals. - Your room will either be in the Hanover Inn or the Courtyard Marriott depending on the number of attendees. - The Penn football game will be shown on a large TV at the Hanover Inn for those who do not want to venture down to the stadium. - Plans have been made and appropriate transportation scheduled for all classmates who may have some mobility issues. - Dick Fleming and his attendance committee are hard at work calling classmates encouraging them to attend.
