EVERETT MELLEN STEVENS died at his home, 42 Bridge St., Deep River, Conn., on November 28. Although there had been some heart disturbance, he was, with care, active and enjoying a normal life. Death came without warning or suffering, during sleep.

Steve was born in Nashua, N. H., August 9, 1878. Following graduation from Thayer School in 1902 he was for a period assistant city engineer of Nashua. From 1909 to 1931 he was sales manager for Nashua Machine Co. 1931-42 he operated his own business as mechanical sales engineer. From 1942 to 1953 he was in Washington, first with the War Production Board, later with War Assets Administration, Dept. of Commerce and finally with the National Production Authority, where he was assistant to the chief of the General Industrial Equipment Division.

In 1952 Steve moved to Deep River. There he was active in civic affairs, serving as treasurer of the Community Chest, treasurer of the Republican Town Committee, and secretary-treasurer of the Rotary Club. At the time of his death he was a trustee of the Congregational Church, director of the Ambulance Association and treasurer of the Public Health Nursing Service. He was an authority on postal matters and had made studies of early postal routes and rates. An ardent stamp collector, he exhibited in many New England shows and frequently served as judge at such exhibitions.

Steve was a true friend and a loyal Dartmouth man. He was secretary of the Class of 1901 for over forty years, held the Class together and steered it safely through those years. He was beloved and greatly respected by his classmates.

George came to us from Exeter Academy, where he was an outstanding baseball, football and track man. He dryly remarked he got more E's at Dartmouth than at Exeter. Finances forced George to leave Dartmouth in 1902, at which time he began the career of coaching baseball and football at Fryeburg Academy, and Norwich University. He later returned to Dartmouth but did not stay to graduate. He was a member of Theta Delta Chi.

When Amos Foster was coaching football at the University of Cincinnati, in the fall of 1904, George entered that university, played on Amos' team and majored in engineering, and later entered the employ of the Lorain Steel Co. at Johnstown, Pa. He was also associated with Michigan Central Railroad as bridge designer until 1917, when he moved to Pontiac and entered the real estate business, where he was eminently successful.

In October 1906 George married Sally Hayes. They had two children, a son, John Bartlett Scales, and a daughter, Sara Margaret Scales Warren, who survive him. To his beloved wife Sally and the family go the deep respect and sympathy of the Class. We have lost a great friend and classmate.

After a brief experience in Bloomington, Ind., as a foreman in a limestone cutting firm, he became manager of the Stone Crest Farm in White River Junction. This large dairy and poultry farm was owned by John's uncle, Arthur W. Stone '94.

Filene's Sons Co., in Boston, from 1908 to 1918, where he held a responsible position. In 1918 he went to the Gilchrist Co., another leading department store in Boston, and held an important position there until 1934. Later he held executive positions in firms in Bridgeport, Conn., and Holyoke, Mass. His next and final responsibility was to establish his own business as a manufacturers sales representative, an undertaking which was logical and successful.

The most important and successful decision Steve made, and carried out, was his marriage to Blanche Morton at Brookline, Mass., on April 10, 1919. She survives him.

1925

KENNETH PHILIP COYKENDALL died suddenly of a cerebral hemorrhage at his home near the Hanover reservoir on December 7. Funeral services were held in St. Thomas' Episcopal Church where Phil had been confirmed in his student days. The class was represented by Gordie Churchill, Marty Huberth, Larry Leavitt, Bob McKennan, Dutch Schroedel, Rad Tanzer, Carl Washburn and Ford Whelden.

Phil was born on March 20, 1900 in Middleton, Mich., but grew up in El Paso, Texas. He enlisted in the Navy at the age of 17 and served during World War I, after which he prepared for college at Westbrook Seminary, Portland, Maine. At Dartmouth he made both the freshman football and track teams and also was on the varsity football squad. He was college middleweight boxing champion for two years and was runner-up in the national amateur championship bouts in Boston in 1925. He was a member of Sigma Chi and Green Key.

Following a fifth year in Thayer School he embarked on an engineering career that was to carry him to construction camps throughout the country. After his marriage in 1929 he was accompanied on these peregrinations by his wife, the former Phebe Stryker, whom he met when she was a teacher in the Hanover High School.

Phil was one of the early members of our class to enter service in World War II, accepting a Navy commission in 1940. He had important engineering assignments in both Newfoundland and this country and then went overseas as the commanding officer of a Seabee battalion during the tough going of the South Pacific campaign. He returned to civilian construction work in 1945 only to be recalled to naval service in 1948. He retired in 1957 with the rank of Captain USNR.

Shortly afterward he accepted the position of superintendent of the Hanover Water Company. He had thought of this as a chance to combine his profession with his life-long love for outdoor sports. Although his new responsibilities restricted such hunting and fishing opportunities, he seized them whenever possible with the same vigorous enthusiasm that characterized all his actions. Indeed he was preparing to sight in a newly acquired rifle when death suddenly overtook him. Those who knew him best are sure that this is the way he would have wished it.

Phil was a 32nd degree Mason, a Shriner and a member of numerous engineering societies.

He is survived by his widow, Phebe, and a brother, to both of whom the Class extends its sincere sympathy.

1946

It is with the heaviest heart that I must report the death of LT. COMDR. HENRY HEWITT DODD on October 18 at the Naval Air Test Center, Patuxent, Md.

The factual reporting of Hank's untimely death I quote from The Tester, the Patuxent Naval Air Station paper: "An F8U—2N Crusader Jet from Flight Test Division nosed over unexplainably while coming in for a landing at Pax Tuesday evening and plunged into the Chesapeake Bay less than 200 yards from shore near Boat House 2."

A native of Toledo, Ohio, Hank was born on April 4, 1924, and attended Scott High School. He entered Dartmouth in the fall of 1942, and on December 2 of the same year enlisted in the Naval Air Corps. He received his commission and wings at Pensacola on November 28, 1944. After leaving the service he returned to Dartmouth and graduated in 1948. While at Dartmouth, Hank was an outstanding swimmer. He was a member of Phi Kappa Psi and Casque and Gauntlet.

Following graduation he re-enlisted in the Naval Air Corps and was asked by the Navy in 1959 to attend Test Pilot School. In June of 1960 he graduated with an outstanding record.

With the passing of Hank, Dartmouth has lost a most loyal and devoted son. In the true Dartmouth tradition he never lost his interest in the College or his Class, and was always keenly aware of his responsibilities. Unselfishly he gave his time and support to them. He will always be remembered for his quiet, yet captivating personality. He had the rare quality of making loyal friends wherever he went.

Special services were held on October 21 at Patuxent and on October 22 at St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Toledo, attended by many friends, including those in the Naval Air Corps.

He is survived by his sister, Mrs. F. W. Parmlee ('34) 4535 Brookside Rd., Toledo.
