Tex entered Dartmouth from Gorham, N. H. He was a member of the varsity track and the Dartmouth ski teams and had then, and throughout his life, one of the most likeable personalities in the entire class.

In December 1923 he became associated with the Group Insurance Department of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., becoming manager in Toledo and then in Cleveland where he had countless personal and business friends.

It is with deep regret that we report the death of ARTHUR REDFIELD PHILLIPS, of a heart ailment, in the barn of his family farm, the Towne Hill Farm, Montpelier, Vt., on February i, at the age of 41. His home was at 3 McKinley St., Montpelier.

1942

HAMPDEN WENTWORTH and his wife, Christina, were killed instantly on February a when his staggerwing Beech aircraft, which he was piloting, hit the top of a fence on takeoff and crashed at Reserve, New Mexico.

Hamp was born in Boston in 1921. He entered Dartmouth from Beacon School where he was active in dramatics and played soccer. During his two years at Dartmouth he was on the ski squad. Upon leaving Hanover, he attended Stanford University for a brief time before joining Longren Aircraft Co. as a draftsman.

His career at Longren was interrupted by service in the U. S. Navy as a fighter pilot. It was during this time that he obtained a thirst for adventure in the sky which never left him. In 1945 Hamp returned to Longren and worked up through the engineering department to become president of the firm in the early 50's. Hamp founded and was the first president of the Aircraft Industries Association of Southern California, an organization that played an important part in aircraft procurement policies of the armed services.

In 1954 he and Christina flew across the Atlantic on an extended visit to all the major countries of Europe, using his favorite singleengine staggerwing Beechcraft that had taken them throughout South America earlier, including a trip over the 20,000-foot Andes.

In 1958, as president of Longren, he organized a merger with Aeronca Manufactur- ing Co. of Middletown, Ohio, becoming vicepresident of the merged firm. He resigned in 1959 over a difference in policy and went to Switzerland where he was in the process of setting up an international investment firm. It was on a return trip from New York to Los Angeles that the fatal accident occurred.

Hamp and his wife leave four children, Francisca, Christopher, Strafford and David, ages 12 to 3. He also leaves his mother, Mrs. Alice C. Wentworth, two brothers, Chapman '40 and Strafford, as well as a sister, Cynthia Hannum. To each of these is extended the sympathies of the class in such an untimely death which cut short a most active career.

1957

1st Lt. BRYCE EUGENE MOODY, USMCR, was killed February 29 in a mid-air collision in the vicinity of Beaufort, S. C., while flying an F8U-1 Crusader Jet. The accident occurred over water and little wreckage was found. Bryce had been with the Marine Corps since graduation.

He was born in Hartford, Conn., April 23, 1935, and prepared for Dartmouth at Mercersburg Academy. Bryce majored in history. Active in the Glee Club, skiing, and later in fraternity affairs, even managing to lead Sigma Nu hums with a smile, much of Bryce's time was spent reading, living and talking with others, gleaning the most elusive yet most important part of what a Dartmouth education meant to him. His education, his college, and his friends were part of his person.

In the spring of senior year after a long, spirited courtship, Bryce married Sally Werntz of Glen Ridge, N. J., then a student at Skidmore, in a wedding well attended by classmates. Sally, son David, and another as yet unborn child survive him. The Class extends its deepest sympathy to her and to Bryce's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph R. Moody, 8047 Glendale Rd., Chevy Chase, Md.

It is tragically soon for any name to appear beneath our class numerals in this column, and the thought of Bryce's wife in her loss, is overwhelming. Though this list will indeed grow longer through the years, this man will be specially remembered.
