CLASS OF 1912

News has just been received of the death in August, 1920, of Henry Wilkins Smith.

son of Edward T. Smith, banker, of New York city, at sea on board the S. S. West Jaffa, 'en route from an oriental port to New York via the Panama Canal. The steamer was not far from New York. No other details are given, except that death was due to heart trouble.

"Buck" Smith was a popular member of the class, of which he was president during sophomore year. He was also manager of the class basketball team freshman year, and was a member of Psi Upsilon. He left college however, at the end of junior year. "Buck" was always alive to everything going on about him, and full of interest in class affairs. He was a man who could be counted on as a loyal friend. His death will be keenly regretted by the whole class.

After leaving college, Buck seems to have been for a time at his home at 1 Mt. Morris Park, New York city, and then for a time in South Boston. In 1914, however, he went West, and was reported to be working on an orchard in the Hood River Valley with an address with the U. V. O. Company at Parkdale, Oregon. He subsequently left that place without leaving a forwarding address, and since that time has been lost to the class. We now learn that he has been in Seattle Wash., for about four years, where he was a member of the Dartmouth Association of the State of Washington, and was very highly esteemed by all of its members.

At the beginning of the war, Buck went into the service of the Ames Dry-dock ana Shipbuilding Company, one of the great plants in the shipbuilding work for the government, and did his part in their work of building twenty-five great steamers. After this work was finished, he went into the engineering department with the last steamer they launched on a voyage across the Pacific and then on another to the Orient and thence to New York.

Buck leaves a widow and children, who are living at Lorington Apartments, 1107 East Denney Way, Seattle, Wash.
