CLASS

Countdown
to Census 2000
 The
1990 U.S. Census missed 8.4
million residents and counted more than four million people twice–a
discrepancy that affected most heavily the urban and rural poor, minority
communities and children. Penn trustee Gilbert Casellas L’77 is
among those monitoring preparations to ensure a more accurate population
count before the next decennial census, which will be carried out in
April. Continued...

A Mouthful
of Music
"Six
guys. Six mouths. That’s it." You
might just have to see 617 to believe what you hear. This a cappella
group spits out a blend of doo-wop, urban and pop music—literally.
Scott Harris C’96 and Jason Downie W’94 are two members of

together in the Penn Six-5000. Continued...

Center and skin-care consultant to many celebrities. Continued...
CLASS

Great Expectations
All she
wanted was a navy-blue power suit. In 1981,
a very pregnant Rebecca Crane Matthias CW’75 stepped into a Boston
maternity store looking for clothes to wear to work. To her dismay,
the racks were replete with pink checks, sailor collars and pouffed
sleeves—all inappropriate for her job as a vice president at her
husband’s start-up computer company. Continued...

85, and Still Throwing His Weights
Around
"I
don’t jump very high," Robert Detweiler
W’35 L’38 likes to tell people. "But I jump pretty high
for an 85-year-old." Few would argue with the Philadelphia-area
attorney, who took second place in his age group in the high jump at
the 1999 Outdoor National Masters track and field championship.

Something Wick’d This Way
Comes
For those
