1907
It is an unpleasant responsibility to have to report the deaths of three of our classmates.
As announced in the In Memoriam column of the July MAGAZINE, David Francis Burns died in Fall River, Mass., on December 30, 1947. Burns transferred from Boston College to Dartmouth for his senior year. Presumably because of his brief period in Hanover, his later association with his classmates was infrequent. Though he made his home in and near Boston, the Class Secretary was never successful in contacting him.
The death of Ted Richardson on July 13 will be a shock to all of his friends, who were legion. Ted was popular in college. His winning smile and sincere interest in his friends were as characteristic throughout his mature life as they were during his college years. His friends were many and devoted. His classmates will recall that Ted was manager of the golf team when that sport was beginning to take on collegiate prominence. Likewise, he became secretary and efficient manager of the Sliver Club, a group of golf enthusiasts in the lumber industry in the Boston area. For a period of six years Ted and Charlie Woodworth were associated in business until war conditions terminated their relationship. Few men of '07 have retained their youthful spirit and physical appearance as successfully as had Ted. He will be sadly missed by his fine family and his host of friends.
Jim McKearin died in Springfield, Mass., on April 24. Following a life of activity and substantial accomplishment in his profession, Jim suffered during recent years from serious physical disabilities, which presumably caused his premature death. His friends will recall that he left our class after two years in Hanover. It appears that he may have chosen a technical career and transferred from Dartmouth in order to carry on his education in a technical college. In any event, his professional career indicates unusual competence in the field of electrical engineering and important responsibilities in the power companies with which he was identified. Additional data about him and his career will be found in the In Memoriam columns of this MACAZINE.

Lou and Mrs. Gerry suffered a heavy loss in the death of their son in June. The young man was a student at the University of Michigan.
Significant changes have taken place in '07 executive responsibilities. Judge McLane has resigned as Class Agent, haying occupied that important position since the inauguration of the Alumni Fund. Bill Cummings, who has served as Class Treasurer for six years, has become Class Agent, and Sam Bartlett has taken over the Treasurership.
The informal and unorganized 41st Reunion of '07 was held in Hanover on June 17 to 20. Those who attended were: Mr. and Mrs. Bill Cummings, Mr. and Mrs. Rip Heneage, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Kenyon, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Hammond, Mr. and Mrs. Dick Lane, Dick Southgate, George Liscomb, Herb Hinman, Bill Smart, Guy Merrill, Bill Sanborn, Allan Brown, Ted Greenleaf, and Bill Walker.
Harry Storrs, Judge McLane and HarryWellman were in Hanover during part of the reunion period but were unable to attend the reunion dinner. The dinner was held at Moosilauke Ravine Camp, an attractive Outing Club cabin on the slopes of Mt. Moosilauke about 45 miles from Hanover. It was unanimously agreed that the Reunion was as enjoyable as it was informal and that it should be repeated in 1949.
