Freshman 150 Ib. Crew; Harvard Mountaineering Club; Harvard Ski Club (Vice-President); Eliot House Crew (To Henley Royal Regatta, England); Christian Science Organization (Treasurer and Vice President); Dramatics; Winthrop House ("Guys and Dolls"); HDC ("Trolius and Cressida," "Caucasian Chalk Circle"); NROTC...
