Whitey then returned to Vanderbilt and completed his studies. He became associated with one of the major oil companies (Socony), spending two years in India until ill health compelled him to return to this country and resign. Two years later he became associated with another of the major oil companies (Standard of New Jersey) for which he spent seven years in Chile, three years in Uruguay and three years in the Argentine. When he resigned in 1940 he was vice-president of the company in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.

JOHN SPEAR YOUNG passed away on October 14 at his home, Meadow Lake Ranch, Escondido, Calif. Several years ago he suffered a severe coronary attack and his health had been failing rapidly during the past few months.
John was born at Minneapolis, Minn., on May 25, 1895, 'he son of George B. and Grace (Spear) Young. Soon after his birth his family returned to their home in Vermont, and it was while living there that he attended Worcester Academy and prepared for Dartmouth.
John served in both World Wars. In May 1917 he enlisted in the American Field Service and immediately sailed for France where he had four months' service with the French. In September of that year he transferred to the American Air Service. On January 8, 1918, he was commissioned Ist Lt. and ten months later, on November 4, was promoted to Captain. From May 1918 to January 1919 he was attached to the 90th Aero Squadron and saw action in the St. Mihiel, Argonne, Verdun and Meuse offensives. He received the Croix de Guerre with palm, was recommended twice for the D.S.C. and once for the D.S.M. He was discharged from the service on January 30, 1919.

Once established in California, John engaged in the brokerage business and was senior partner of the firm of Young, Clarke & Co., members of the New York and Los Angeles Stock Exchanges, until he retired in 1943. He was particularly interested in farming and devoted his retirement to the development of ranches, Meadow Lake Ranch being the third he developed.
As might be expected, John had many interests. He was a member of Rotary, the Riverside County Planning Commission, and the Airport Commission from 1948 until 1951. Also, he was a member of Daedalions, a National group of early fliers, and D.K.E.

1921
A heart attack has proved fatal to another 1921 man. Stricken November 16 at his work in Cherry and Webb's, Lowell, Mass., STANLEY WILLIAM PARKER was pronounced dead on his arrival at St. John's Hospital. He was 60 vears old.
More than many other members of his class, Stan had close relations with Hanover and Dartmouth because he was born in Thetford, Vt., was brought up in Union Village, and because his mother and brother are still living in Norwich.
Born February 24, 1899, Stan prepared for Dartmouth at St. Johnsbury Academy where he played football and was the Commencement speaker. During World War I he was a member of the S.A.T.C.
He married Helen Currie of Somerville, Mass., November 34, 1926, and for a time they made Somerville their home before moving to Andover where they lived at 6 Torr St.

Stan began his business career in 1921 with S. S. Pierce Co., Boston, with which he remained until 1923 when he accepted a position with Conrad and Co. As early as 1926 he became associated with Cherry and Webb Co., department store for women in Lowell, and as a buyer he worked there for the rest of his life except for six years with Allied Stores, 1946-1951.
Stan had four chief interests in life: business, his family, the Masons (he was a member of the William North Lodge, A. F. and A. M. of Lowell), and Christian Science (he was a member of the Andover Christian Science Society).
A Christian Science reader, Ralph Schwartz, officiated at the funeral services held at the Lundgren Funeral Home, Andover, with cremation afterward at Harmony Grove, Salem.

1929
It is with great regret that we report the sudden death of RICHARD CHAFFEY PARSHALL of a coronary on November 10 at the Augusta General Hospital, Augusta, Maine.
Dick's home was in Penobscot and his office, with the New England Telephone & Telegraph Co., was in Augusta, from which, as Central Traffic Manager, he visited many of the company's offices in that area. During his visits he did much public relations work for the company and had just returned from giving a talk at a Lions' dinner in Skowhegan when the attack occurred which resulted in his death two and a half hours later.
Upon his graduation from the College, Dick joined the New York Tel. & Tel. Co. He and his family lived, subsequently, in Utica, Elmira, and near Syracuse as he moved up in the company. In 1949 he was made District Traffic Supervisor in the western district with headquarters in Buffalo. Following his daughter Elizabeth Jane's marriage in December 1951, he decided to unburden himself of the heavy load that he was carrying and he and Mrs. Parshall bought a farmhouse, circa 1800, in Penobscot and the two-masted schooner named "The Clinton." He operated the schooner on cruises out of the Penobscot Bay region until it was severely damaged in the hurricane in the middle '50s. As it would be with many of us, these sailing years were the happiest years of his life.
In June 1956 he joined the New England Tel. & Tel. Co. in the position he held at the time of his death. He spent all his spare time restoring his farmhouse and land and was continuously looking forward to retirement and the purchase and operation of another schooner.
He belonged to all Masonic bodies, was chairman of the board of trustees of the Penobscot Methodist Church, and was president for three years of the East Penobscot Bay Resort Association, during which time he brought to fruition one of' the finest resort folders in Maine, publicizing this region in which he had made his home.
Dick will be greatly missed by his many friends. He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Parshall of Harrisburg, Pa., his wife, Kathryn Loughborough Parshall, his daughter, Mrs. D. A. Hooker, East Barrington, N. H., and four grandsons.
1938
STANTON BROWN died in St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Washington, D. C., on October 15 of a malignant brain tumor. His home was at 5413 Trent St., Somerset, Md.
Stan was born in Everett, Mass., March 3, 1916, the son of Nelson P. Brown '99 and Margaret Tucker. He was the grandson of George A. Brown '77 and William Jewett Tucker '61, President of Dartmouth. He prepared for college at Everett High School. He was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa and played on the varsity tennis team.
After graduating from Harvard Law School in 1941 Stan was with the F. 8.1, for eight years and then joined the U.S. Department of State as a foreign service officer. He served in several Latin American countries and his most recent post had been as political for the embassy at Buenos Aires. Stan was a good golfer and had won a number of amateur tournaments in Latin America.
On September 4, 1946 in San Salvador, Stan was married to Elena Castro, whose father was Salvador's Ambassador to the U.S. She survives him with their children, Marcia, 10; Stanton, 7; and Frederick, 5. He is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. Carl Wentworth of Fairlawn, N. J., and Mrs. Royal I. Blanchard ('27) of Norwich, Vt.; and a brother, Nelson P. Brown '36 of Woodstock, Vt.
Stan's loyalty to the College, Class and friends was intense. His friendliness and delightful humor will be sadly missed, and he leaves us all with a profound admiration for his courage during the last 18 months, when he suffered grievously from what he knew was an incurable affliction. The loss of his unique personality is a great one, and all of 1938 will grieve with his wife, Nena, and the children.
