1900

With deep sorrow we record the sudden death on June 28 of our much loved and respected classmate, Jim Woodman. A memorial service was held in the Franklin, N. H., Unitarian Church on July 2. Ben Prescott, Art Wallace and Cap Jenkins represented the class. We shall greatly miss Jim at all gatherings of the class. An obituary appears in this number of the MAGAZINE.

The class is much gratified at the signal honor conferred on Charles Proctor by the Alumni Council at the Commencement season in June. Each recipient of the award for distinguished service to Dartmouth was given a replica of the Wheelock Bowl and a commemorative plaque. Charles is overly modest and is not given to saying much about his many accomplishments. One important contribution to Dartmouth which he made was in bringing Del Ames to Hanover. For nearly twenty years he and Del worked together carrying on research in the field of physiological optics. The last of July Charles and Alice motored to Maine and spent some days with "Hop" at his summer home in Manset.

I regret to report that Pearl Guild, wife of our Frank Guild, has been an invalid for a number of years. She is now a patient at Peirce Nursing Home in Enfield. At this trying time the sympathy of the class goes out to her and her family. Her younger son, Fred Guild, is a bachelor, and for many years has been connected with the New York Life Insurance Co. Since 1926 he has been Republican district captain in the seventh district. For twelve years he was president of the Hamilton Republican Club.

The other son Carl, also devoted to his mother, lives in Milton, Mass. For 34 years he has been connected with Brown, Durrell Co. of Cambridge, Mass. At the present time he is head of one of the large divisions of the business and is on the board of directors of the company. Carl has two sons who, according to his own testimony, are splendid, active, all-round boys, and also good students in school.

Sometime ago your secretary was much pleased to receive a letter from Eula Buckley, wife of Dr. James Buckley. She writes that she is active in church work and in patriotic organizations in Dover; as she says, "putting in time for God and country." In the past Eula has driven all over the United States, but now has to confine her trips to New England. For fifteen years she spent winters in St. Petersburg, Fla., and there enjoyed some of the Dartmouth activities. She very much wants to keep in touch with the class and as long as she lives to contribute to our class fund.

Ned Richardson's Billy, grandson of L.B., is a student at Vermont Academy, and is presently captain of the football team. Shades of Ulysses and L.B., a football hero in the family!

Bill Howard reports that the years fly by without his paying much attention to chronology. This is due, he asserts, to the fact of good health, and that over the years he has, with a few narrow squeaks, been able to keep the wolf from the door. His motto is: "To keep going as usual without fear of the future." Good work, Bill, and may continued good health and a lively interest in life affairs be yours.

In May the Goodhues flew to Chicago for an important meeting, paid a visit to the Principia College campus at Elsah, Ill., and flew back from St. Louis. A good time was had by all, and there were no disturbing incidents, except the mysterious loss of Senator Flanders' hat. No, it did not fly out the window.
