1907

RICHARD STEELE SOUTHGATE was found dead in his room at the Graduate Club in Hanover on the morning of February 28. The cause of his death is not known, as he had seemed to be in good health prior to his death. He had apparently fallen and knocked over a lamp, which started a fire in the room.

Dick was born in Woodstock, Vt., August 4, 1885, the son of Anna (French) and Frederick Southgate '74 and came to Dartmouth from Woodstock High School. He was always a friendly person, and was liked by his classmates and by many other alumni. As an undergraduate, Dick was a member of Theta Delta Chi, Casque and Gauntlet, Turtle Society, Mandolin Club, and Aegis board.

Soon after graduation, Dick went to the Northwest, influenced probably by the fact that his classmates, Bill Jennings and Sam Barnes, had decided to seek their future in that section. Dick went to Bellingham, Wash., where he worked in a lumber business, but by February 1908 he decided that it was too rugged for him. He then went to Chicago, where he worked first for The Chicago Tribune, and in January 1911 he joined Double-day Page and Co. in an advertising capacity. In 1916 he became associated with Willys-Overland, leaving them in 1918 to attend the Officers Training Camp at Fort Snelling, Minn., following which he served as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Quartermasters Corps at Camp Johnstone, Jacksonville, Fla., and in Washington, D. C.

After the war, he joined the Timken Roller Bearing Co., and became Eastern Sales Manager. Later business connections were Toledo Scale Co., Toledo, Ohio, and F.U. Stearns and Co., New York City.

His father was a member of the Class of 1874, and three uncles were also Dartmouth graduates.

Funeral services were held at Woodstock, Vt., Saturday, March 2. The class was represented by Don and Mrs. Williams, Judge McLane, and Harry Storrs.

1908

ROSCOE GEORGE FRAME of Meeting House Green, Ipswich, Mass., sub-master of the Dudley School in Roxbury for 33 years, passed away on February 25 at the Cable Memorial Hospital after a brief illness. All of his active life had been spent in the field of education.

Roscoe was born February 24, 1885, in Boxford, Mass., the son of George Porter and Effie (Davis) Frame. A descendant of one of the earliest settlers of Boxford, he was educated in its country schools and prepared for Dartmouth at Newburyport High School. After graduation he took a post-graduate course in modern languages at Harvard.

His first teaching position was at Lawrence Academy from which he went to the Lisbon Falls, Maine, High School as principal and in less than a year became Superintendent of Schools of the Lisbon and Webster School District. In December 1912 he was elected Superintendent of Schools in the North Providence, R. I., school system, and later of the Wilmington-Middleton-Boxford school district in Massachusetts. In 1922 he held a similar position in Chelmsford. In 1924 he went to the Dudley School in Roxbury as submaster, where he continued until his retirement in 1955.

For several years the Frames made their home in Dedham, but in 1945 moved to Meeting House Green in Ipswich. Vacations were spent at their summer home in Belfast, Maine, where Roscoe enjoyed clamming and fishing in Penobscot Bay and working around the home. He was a shy, quiet, home-loving man, a stamp collector and fond of good reading. He was a perfectionist in his work and in his play. One summer when he could not find a machine-made gill net to withstand the dogfish, he knit his own from an old Islesboro pattern.

In his school work he was a disciplinarian of the old school, but also kindly and gentle, and on his retirement two years ago, received messages from former students all over the country. To the family one of his most appropriate memorials was the gift at his own request to the Boston Eye Bank which resulted in a successful corneal transplant a few hours after his death.

Roscoe was a member of several professional organizations and a life member of Aleppo Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S.

On August 17, 1912, he married Flora Mae Kibling in Lisbon, Maine, who survives him, and is well known as a Boston concert and lecture manager. He leaves a daughter, Helen Frame Peters, of the Lawrence Evening Tribune, wife of Harold M. Peters of the Boston Globe, and three granddaughters, all of Ipswich.

Funeral services were held at the Blake Funeral Home in Ipswich and committal services at the family lot in Hancock, N. H.

He was a member of our sophomore baseball team and an active promoter of all class activities. Dartmouth meant much to him and reunions and class dinners were enlivened by his presence. The '09 Diddings could count on worthwhile stories from him.

Ben married Ethel H. Dunbar on June 18, 1916 and Hanover was the place he had to show her. Bernard M. Jr. and Helen Marie were horn of this union and it was probably the highlight of Ben's life when his son was ordained and said his first Mass.

His business activities were in the wholesale paper trade, first with the D. F. Munroe Co. and then the Ralph F. Bass Co. He found time to take an interest in civic affairs and served as a member of the Stoneham School Committee.

To the widow, son and daughter, who survive, the class expresses the hope that it may ever be to them the symbol of something that he had a part of fashioning in his youth and helping guide in his later life.

ARTHUR HOWARD SHOPPELRY died suddenly on March 7 at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston from heart failure induced by a pleural empyema. His home was at 95 Beach Rd., Winthrop, Mass.

Art was born in Boston on July 31, 1886 and entered Dartmouth from Everett High School. He at once became prominent as a member of the class baseball and basketball teams, and then as a member of the varsity teams. He was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity and Turtle junior society.

Upon graduation, he became associated with the Remington Rand organization as a salesman and continued with them until his death.

His interest in Dartmouth was something that he cherished and he was an assistant class agent for the Alumni Fund.

He was married to Charlotte May Quinn in 1913 and is survived by her and two sons, William of San Diego, Calif., and Richard of Tacoma, Wash.

AL Newton and Cad Cummings extended the personal sympathy of the class to the family as once again there is another break in the ranks of 1909.

JONAH JAY NEWTON died on January 28, in the Physicians Memorial Hospital, La Plata, Md„ from heart failure caused by arteriosclerosis.

Newt was born in Auburn, Mass., November 29, 1885, the son of Alonzo and Miranda (Potter) Newton. He entered Dartmouth from Phillips Exeter Academy and was a member of Phi Gamma Delta. He served as a 2nd Lt. A.S.A.P., U. S. A., from 1917 to 1919.

His business career was spent in the jewelry manufacturing trade; first in Detroit, Mich., as an auditor for Traub Mfg. Co., and then in Newark, N. J., where he was treasurer and later vice-president of Larter and Sons, jewelry manufacturers, until ill health forced his retirement.

On November 29, 1919, Newt married Bessie E. Edwards at Detroit, and a daughter Margaret Lucile was born to them.

Upon retirement from business Newt and Bess moved to La Plata, Md., and made many friends in that community. They came back to Hanover for the '09 reunion in 1955 and all those present will ever have pleasant memories of that occasion. Returning home to Maryland, Newt had to curtail his physical activities and Bess was a wonderful nurse to him. Their interest in Dartmouth never wavered and we of the Class of 1909 hope that Bess and daughter Margaret will realize the depth of affection we had for a wonderful classmate.

1914

JOSEPH HERBERT GRIDLEY died on December 27, 1956, at the Southern Pacific Hospital in San Francisco, as the result of a severe heart attack. A bad attack about a year earlier had necessitated his retirement and since then he had frequently been in and out of the hospital. Following funeral services on December 28, interment took place at the National Cemetery in the Presidio.

Herb was born in Charlestown, Mass., December 27, 1888, the son of Joseph and Margaret (Clark) Gridley. He entered Dartmouth from Phillips Andover Academy in the fall of 1910. Although with us for but a portion of freshman year - leaving college early to assist in the operation of Gridley's, a well-known restaurant on Washington Street in Boston's then so-called "Newspaper Row" - he loved his Dartmouth and Hanover associations throughout his life. He was a member of Psi Upsilon.

During World War I, Herb was in military service from 1917 to 1919, becoming a Major of Infantry, with overseas duty in the A. E. F. Changing the scene of his business activities to San Francisco before World War I, and returning there afterward, Herb eventually joined the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1922 as a buyer and supervisor of dining car supplies. Shortly thereafter he became superintendent of the steamer commissary and news service, holding this post until 1932 when he was made assistant manager of the Dining Car Department.

He was a member of San Francisco Chapter No. 1, Royal Arch Masons, and had a large circle of friends and acquaintances in San Francisco. To those of us who knew Herb well and have kept in touch with him over the years, his disposition, generosity, kindness and thoughtfulness made his friendship priceless. No man could have a better friend, no college a son who loved it more.

1915

FRANK CALEB EKSTROM, 67, of 51 Windsor Ave., Highland Park, Upper Darby, Pa., died suddenly on February 28, of a heart attack while at work in the Frankford Arsenal, where he had been employed for 26 years.

Frank had been in precision optical work for the Arsenal and had received several awards for improved methods for doing the work. A year ago he was appointed full time to the making of etchings for the brochure on the history of the Arsenal. Recognition of this monumental job came when he was recently called upon to put on an exhibition there for the commanding officer and other administrative officials, demonstrating his etching techniques. This led to an official presentation by the Arsenal of one of his etchings to the Frankford Historical Society. He was also planning to do a series of etchings and oil paintings based on Biblical stories.

Frank was born in Nashua, N. H., and was graduated from Dartmouth in 1915 with a B.S. degree. While in college he was active in Christian Association work, going out Sunday afternoons to teach Sunday School. He was a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity.

He had lived in Highland Park for 15 years and was a Sunday School teacher at Calvary Presbyterian Church there and a former member of the Philadelphia Art League.

He was a devoted father and lived a full, rich, happy family life. In his Sunday teachings, he had been trying out new methods of holding pupils' interest through allowing them to act out the parts. For his own children, he had been in process of grinding a 6-inch lens at home, preparatory to building a telescope for them.

Frank met his wife, Thelma, who received her A.B. from Oberlin and an M.A. from Mount Holyoke, when she came to work at the University of Pennsylvania - through a hiking club. It was their common interest in hiking, sketching and painting which led to their marriage in 1942.

Besides his wife, he is survived by their two children, Karen, 12, and Peter, 11; a daughter and son by a previous marriage, Grace Moffat, and Eric Ekstrom, both of Holland, N. Y.; a brother, Louis Ekstrom '12 of Bethlehem, Pa.; two sisters, Helen and Eva; and eight grandchildren.

Services were held at Lewis Funeral Home in Highland Park and internment was in Glenwood Gardens. Flowers were sent by the Class of 1915 which was also represented at the services by Jack Mason, Harold Budd and George Ehinger.

ERL PADELFORD MACANDREWS, 64, of 33 Hancock St., Boston, Mass., associated for nearly 30 years with Jordan Marsh Company of Boston, died on February 23 in Brookline. In November he suffered a heart attack from which he did not recover.

Mac was born in Calais, Me., son of George and Jennie (Jenkins) MacAndrews. He attended Calais schools and was graduated from Dartmouth in 1915 with a B.S. degree. He was a veteran of World War I, serving as Battalion Sergeant Major in the Infantry. After the war, he studied at the University of Montpelier in southern France.

He is survived by a brother, Charles A. MacAndrews, Montrose, Pa.; a sister, Mrs. Ralph (Addie S.) MacDonald, South Portland, Me.; and several nieces and nephews.

Interment was in Calais Cemetery.

1920

RICHARD METCALF PEARSON died of cancer on March 24 at the age of 57 at the United Hospital in Port Chester, N. Y. He was born on December 27, 1899, in Concord, N. H., where his father, the late Harlan C. Pearson '93 was editor of The Concord Monitor and secretary to several New Hampshire governors. Both Dick's father and his mother, Laura Metcalf, came from old and well-known New Hampshire families and Dick had a large number of relatives who were members of the Dartmouth fellowship.

During his undergraduate years in Hanover Dick was associated with The Dartmouth, both as board member and as editor, and with The Aegis, the Press Club and the Dartmouth Christian Association. As an honor student he was elected to membership in Phi Beta Kappa and awarded the Richard Crawford Campbell Fellowship for a year's study at Columbia University. He is remembered during his college years as a somewhat quiet but friendly and socially minded person who formed pleasant associations with his mates, especially in The Arts, the Dragon Senior Society, and the Delta Tau Delta fraternity.

After a year of graduate study Dick entered the textbook business, and as salesman and executive continued in that field for the remaining years of his life. He was successively with Lyons and Carnahan of Chicago (1921-1928), Harper and Brothers (1928-1948), and Macmillan of New York (1948-1957). Harper's brought him in to establish a high-school text department and Macmillan made him Head of its Education Department as well as vice-president and director. He made himself an authority in his chosen field and received widespread recognition. He became president of the Human Relations Studies, Inc., and president of the American Textbook Publishers Institute in the same year (1952) and a few years later (1955) was a delegate to the White House Conference on Education. He spoke and wrote about textbooks and publishing a great deal and a fine exposition of some of his more persistent ideas about books and education is to be found in an article in The Saturday Reviewof Literature for April 19, 1952. He served also as a member of the New York Citizens Commission for the Public Schools.

In addition to the satisfactions derived from these professional activities it would seem that Dick found his greatest joy in service for Dartmouth, and in particular for his Class of 1920. His father had served as secretary of his class for about forty years and even with a late start in 1945 Dick had hopes of coming within gunshot of that record with 1920. Though fate did not grant him those years, what he lacked in length of service he more than made up for in coverage and accuracy and alertness for news. The men of 1920 are very aware of the strong influence Dick exerted through his class notes in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE - an influence reflected in class spirit from Maine to California. In 1953 he was acclaimed Class Secretary of the Year and elected President of the Dartmouth Class Secretaries Association. Dick had served on various committees of the Dartmouth Alumni Council and at the time of his death, in addition to being Secretary-Chairman of the Class of 1920, was serving as vice-president of the Council. He was also a member of the recently appointed Committee on Alumni Relations.

In April of 1923 Dick married Robin Urquhart Macguire, who survives him, and who has been his faithful companion at class events and all reunions. There are no living children. Dick is also survived by a sister, Mrs. W. E. Spaulding of Winchester, Mass. and a brother, John M. Pearson of Concord, N. H.

In 1945 Dick, in commenting on his eager and continuing interest in tennis and bowling and horseshoe-pitching, wrote, "I am persistent in trying to get more out of my 130-pound frame than God apparently intended." He had grown some heavier since he wrote those words but still the goals which he set for himself in many fields seemed always to outrun his resources of time and energy. No one can ever begin to compute (unless it be Robin) the leisure hours he devoted to Dartmouth and 1920 in interviews and visits and committees and at the typewriter writing letters and class notes. His was a never-ceasing commitment and his College and his classmates remember with gratitude both the quantity and the quality of that service.
