1905
If any of you men who have not yet retired are suffering under the delusion that those who have retired are bored with a life of inactivity, read this in regard to our SliverHatch, quoted with slight alteration from his local Natick paper:
"He retired in 1948 as assistant vice president of the United Fruit Company. He was secretary of the new high school building committee, a town meeting member, a director of the Natick Consumers' Cooperative. Appointed in November to the Public Works Department to fill an unexpired term, he is now a candidate for reelection."
And this account makes no mention of his important job of Class Agent of the remarkable Class of 1905! By the way, I have a copy of a beautiful brochure describing the imposing new school.
I have Fred Chase to thank for this list of 05 sojourners in Florida: Doc MacMillan and Dick Tolman in Clearwater, C. C. Hills at Mount Dora, Charlie Goodrich at St. Petersburg and Roger Brown at Anna Maria Key,- each with his respective wife. Fred himself was at Dunedin. However, I had had Charlie Goodrich listed as Palm Harbor. Doubtless all of these will have returned north before this appears in print.
Ethel and Walter Conley are already back from "their Caribbean cruise. They report a delightful trip with Haiti as their objective this year. They stayed three weeks. Walter was in good health and reports Ed Gilbert as considerably improved.
From Mexico City Cy White writes that he and Hilda were enjoying their trip to our southern neighbor. He pronounces Acapulco the most beautiful spot he has ever seen.
Like some of the rest of you, your scribe can lay claim to a little reflected glory from the prowess of a grandchild. Constance, daughter of son Bill '30, won in a downhill ski race for her age group last winter and also came out ahead in a local contest in spelling.
Change of address: Ross Wilmot, 909 Nicholas St., Bethlehem, Pa.
On March 3 Tom Keady lost by death his wife, Mary Malonson Keady. Our deep sympathy goes to Tom in his bereavement. Tom is living with his son Walter at 31 Cushing Ave., Nashua, N. H.
By the time this reaches your eye our reunion, the most important of them all, will be only a little over a month away. It will still not be too late for any of you to decide to come, but write to Fletcher Hatch at once.
Who's Who in '05
JAMES H. MULALLY
Jim Mulally came to Dartmouth from Danvers, Mass. Big enough to be an athlete, his tastes were of a quieter sort. Conservative, good natured, a young man of high integrity and steady judgment, and a hard worker, he made getting an education his first goal. Being no scion of wealth he worked in self-support at the College, waiting on table and in the summer in a tannery at Danvers. In his junior year, in 1904, he went to St. Louis, Mo., as a member of the Jefferson Guard, the semi-military force that policed the Louisiana Purchase Exposi- tion.
For three years after graduating from Dartmouth in the far-famed Class of 1905, Jim taught at St. Thomas College at St. Paul, Minn. At the same time he studied law at the University of Minnesota Law School, from which he received his LL.B. degree in 1908. He was admitted to the Bar of Minnesota the same year. Later he was admitted to practice in all the Federal Courts, including the Supreme Court of the United States, in which he participated in several cases. He also practiced before the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Department of the Interior and the Treasury Department.
After being admitted to the Bar in 1908, Jim spent one year in the office of C. D. and R. D. O'Brien, one of the outstanding law firms of St. Paul. Then for three years he was attorney for Crane & Ordway Company of St. Paul, and Crane Company of Chicago, Ill.
In 1911 he formed a law partnership with Mr. D. W. Lawler, Mayor of St. Paul, which association continued until 1920. The Minnesota Supreme Court Reports contain many cases in which the firm of Lawler & Mulally appear.
In October 1910 Jim was married to Miss Helen Batson of St. Paul. Five children were born to them, Judith, Charles, Edward, Judd and Joan. Joan was the lovely girl whom Jim brought to his 45th class reunion. Jim and Helen attended the Dartmouth Pow-Wow in Chicago several years ago. In 1940 he was elected president of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of the Northwest. In 1938 Helen and Jim visited England, Ireland and Scotland.
In 1920 Jim became general attorney for the Great Northern Railway and later assistant general counsel. For ten years until his retirement he supervised all the trial work of the Great Northern and tried many cases himself. He became known as one of the best trial lawyers of the Northwest.
About 1922 Jim became an instructor in the St. Paul College of Law and continued to be a member of the faculty of that school for twenty years. He is now a member of its board of trustees.
His children have been a credit to him. Judith, Charles, Edward and Joan attended the University of Minnesota. Judd chose Dartmouth, from which he received his A.B. degree in 1942. The girls are happily married, Joan to James E. McNamara, a St. Paul railroad official, and Judith to Dr. Bernard Lilien, chief of staff of the Children's Hospital at Newark, N. J. Judd received his law degree from the University of Minnesota Law School in 1949 and has been since that time associated with the law firm of Lipschultz, Altman & Geraghty, one of the outstanding law firms in St. Paul. Edward graduated from the St. Paul College of Law and after admission to the Bar, practiced in St. Paul for several years. In 1952 he was appointed Judge of the Municipal Court of St. Paul and later elected to the same position. Charles during his college years became interested in criminology. He is now a lieutenant of police in St. Paul. Charles has made a hobby of radio and is a "ham" operator.
During World War II, all Jim's sons were in the service, Charles and Judd in the Artillery, Edward a pilot in the Air Corps. Judd was stationed in Germany when the Germans broke through at the Bulge, and for his conduct that time received the Bronze Star. Edward was a pilot of a B-24 in the Pacific area.
In 1941 a sadness came into Jim's life when his wife Helen died. Jim thinks that her spirit protected their sons during the hazards they encountered in the war.
In 1948 Jim met and married a charming widow, Mrs. Alpha Marie Sarchet. They have a very happy life, since Alpha Marie has become a real mother and grandmother to the children and the fourteen grandchildren. Jim and Alpha Marie have a charming home in St. Paul and a summer place at Bald Eagle, White Bear Lake, about thirteen miles from St. Paul, where Jim has his orchard and vegetables and flowers. They belong to the White Bear Yacht Club, a country club with a splendid golf course. Alpha Marie is a real golfer, a winner of cups and tournaments. One of the ambitions of Jim's life is to beat her - his golf is not so hot. Part of each year they spend in Florida.
In 1953 Jim reached the railroad retirement age and regretfully left the railroad. After one month of retirement Jim decided he could not stand being a gentleman of leisure, so became associated with Bruce Sanborn '04 in the general practice of law. That firm has among its clients many large corporations, including the International Harvester Co. and the Union Pacific Railroad.
Jim and Alpha Marie believe they have solved the problem of growing old gracefully. In the summer they golf and garden. In the winter they golf and fish in Florida. In addition they are kept busy buying presents for the children and grandchildren and attending christenings of the new arrivals.
