1907

Attendance at an '07 class dinner at the University Club in Boston on November 12 was very respectable in relation to other years. The following is a list of those who were present: McLane, Minsch, Smart, N. H. Knight, Ted Richardson, Stevens, Pierce, Chase, Niles and Dick Lane.

Jim Riley has had an extended and serious illness but is reported to have made excellent progress toward recovery and hopes to return to his law practice soon.

It is the secretary's sad duty to report the recent death in action of Capt. John W. O'Neill of the Marine Corps. Capt. O'Neill was twenty-four years old. He graduated from Dartmouth and enlisted in the Marines while attending Harvard Graduate School in 1941. His wife is the former Patricia Noyes of Sharon, Conn., and his father, of course, is our class president, Professor James M. O'Neill of Brooklyn College.

Another sad duty is to report the death of Roger Shattuck in Nashua, N. H., on Dec. 27. He had been ill for a long period. Accounts agree that his family, his friends, and the city in which he was born and spent his entire life have suffered a severe loss. One friend writes that "Roger was one of those quiet, responsible citizens who goes along doing a first-class job without getting himself a great deal of publicity. He was very much interested in Dartmouth and was always to be counted on in any activities of the local Dartmouth Club." Another friend and classmate writes, "A very fine man has gone." A Nashua, N. H., paper states: "As a construction engineer he had a most successful and outstanding career and had come to be one of the most successful in this part of the state. He was also prominent in various masonic organizations and was looked upon as one of Nashua's best citizens—one who had made a wide circle of personal friendships; a genial and kindly man of highest ideals."

The young man in photograph is Gordon, son of Tod Plummer. Before entering military service he was a member of the class of 1944. Gordon is now an Air Cadet in the Army Air Forces assigned to Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a course in meteorology. He has recently been appointed second in command of his squadron.
