1990
We have suffered the loss of another one of our stalwart members. Dr. Clarence E. Butterfield died as the result of a heart ailment at the Concord, N. H., Hospital, Thursday morning, Oct. 16. Funeral services were held in the South Congregational Church on Saturday, Oct. 18. Burial was in Blossom Hill Cemetery. The class was represented by "Cap" Jenkins and "Art" Wallace.
"Cut" Tirrell is somewhat worried about his grandchildren who have been living in England for several years. Will they come home in the spring with a pronounced English accent is the troublesome question in "Cut's" mind. It would certainly be a small calamity to have them walk the streets of Montreal speaking British English rather than the Canadian variety of our mother tongue. "Cut" perhaps wonders, as in "My Fair Lady": "Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?"
In October, when the Hanover countryside was ablaze with the brilliant colors of autumn, "Herbie" Trull with his wife and daughter spent a little time as guests at the Inn.
Arthur Roberts' grandson is a man of parts in Newport, R. I. Leaving a good business connection in Texas, he decided to follow the pattern set by his grandfather and become a teacher in St. George's School at Newport. However, he is not just a teacher of three upper form classes, but adds to this the duties of Alumni Secretary for the school; adviser to the school paper; a member of the disciplinary committee; assistant to the
"Lance," the school annual; assistant director of admissions; representative to the Secondary School Education Board; assistant coach of football, and head coach of baseball. In any man's world these responsibilities cover a lot of territory. It looks very much as if Arthur's grandson is getting to be pretty much all things to all St. George's men.
George Tong's son-in-law, William F. Gaffney, who had a tour of duty of three and a half years at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, was recently promoted to the rank of Commodore. At this writing, he is in Seoul, Korea, where he is connected with navy personnel work.
"Bob" Jackson was in town for the Holy Cross game. It is reported that he and "Hop" had a swell time reminiscing about personalities and events in Washington when, during World War II, both of them were residents of the Capital City.
We are sorry to learn that Francis Bradley's sister and her husband were in a serious automobile accident the early part of the year and were hospitalized for more than three months.
"Dago" Phillips' son is now teaching in the Production Management Department of the School of Business at Northwestern University. He is the author of an article entitled "Standards of Performance" which was published in the March issue of the Office Executive Magazine. Some two years ago Sidney and his family took to the improved high-ways in their station wagon packed to the hilt, and made the long trek from Farmington, Conn., to Evanston, Ill. Barring a few minor incidents, in which the children played major roles, the trip was successfully completed. The family is now securely and happily installed in a wee little house at 1906 Lincoln Street. Through all the experience of breaking up housekeeping in Connecticut and settling in Illinois, father has developed a remarkable flair for change while mother, in the midst of all the turmoil, has maintained great poise and tenaciously clung to that striking bit of fatalism, "wait and see."
It is now confirmed that Walter Rankin's first greatgrandchild is a boy who bears the name of Jeffrey. He is the son of Spencer and Cynthia Sharp. I am sure the' grandparents very much hope that he may matriculate at Dartmouth about 1975.
