1929

HERBERT OGDEN MORSE died September 29 in the Amesbury Hospital, Amesbury, Mass., after an illness of five days brought on by a coronary thrombosis. He had been troubled with angina for the last five years but continued with his many activities. He was principal of the Amesbury Junior High School at the time of his death, having held that position for six years following 14 years of teaching in Teaneck, N. J.

He was born in Amesbury, Mass., July 9, 1906, son of Willard L. and Marie (Ogden) Morse. His schooling was at the Amesbury High and at Dartmouth.

He would have graduated from College with the class of '28 but for the fact that he had leave to work for a year in order to graduate with the Class. He majored in education and participated in track as a javelin thrower.

He was an enthusiastic Dartmouth man and enrolled his two sons with the College just as soon as they were born. In all the years of his alumni life, he never missed an issue of the DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE or his annual contribution to the Alumni Fund.

He was married to Corinne Wilbur on Christmas Day 1931. He leaves, besides his wife, four children: Herbert Ogden (19) Class of '55, Lawrence Wilbur (18) Class of '56, Priscilla (11) and Virginia (9).

The following tribute written by Ned Brown, Class of '28, in the local paper will express the place Herb held in our hearts: "Because he was so intensely and energetically devoted to the welfare of others Herb Morse's life was tragically shortened. This writer knew Herb from boyhood, as a fellow student in High School and as a college roommate. Among his many fine qualities were his well-disposed nature, his eagerness for knowledge, his capacity for hard work academic and physical and his unfailing qualities as a friend. Life had a dual purpose the support of his fine family and the devotion to the boys and girls of his trust. At the same time he maintained an interest in school athletics, for which he once served as faculty manager. He did all he could to help and he inspired others to join him. Herb was a natural and successful leader. No one loved life any more than did Herb Morse, and that is. why his untimely passing is so tragic. But he did enjoy life. He gave much and so received much."

While at Dartmouth, Bill was a star varsity football and lacrosse player. He also found' time to help his wife run the little Indian Craft Shop on College Street.
