1916

The Class notes with the deepest regret the deaths of three of its members. HerbertEmil Stiegler died July 13, Bernard Wyle died July 27, and our recently adopted classmate, Professor Artemas Packard and his wife were killed in an automobile accident September 6. Herb was not well known to me since undergraduate days. Bernie will be recognized more readily as BernardBeurnsteen, he having adopted a family name after graduation from college. He came to Dartmouth after attending Tufts and Norwich. It is especially regrettable that the Class had little or no chance to make the acquaintance of Artemas Packard and to enjoy his fellowship. Our sincerest sympathy is extended to the families of these our classmates.

Our new Class President, Dick Parkhurst has the pleasant habit of sending folks postcards on his various journeyings. In April he and Kay were in London where he attended sessions of the International Maritime Council. In July they were on the St. Lawrence Seaway aboard a snappy looking Dutch vessel bound for Chicago and Montreal. While in Chicago they looked up the '16 group and had nice visits with HugoGumbart and Joe Larimer. Hugo retires at the end of this year from Bethlehem Steel and may locate somewhere in New England. Joe was to retire in September and planned to head for California, - Pacific Grove, near Carmel. Livy and Lucille Cole were en route home from a lengthy trip to the South Seas. Ken Henderson and his wife were on the way to Europe, he having concluded his teaching at Northwestern. Dick was unable to contact either BobBartlett or Joe Cheney. In August Dick participated in the dedication of Fort Warren in Boston harbor, an old Revolutionary War fort, as a public park. Hugo, who was elected to the Class Executive Committee in June wrote Ed Craver, the chairman, of his pleasure in seeing Dick and Kay in Chicago.

Five classmates, hardy souls all, ventured out for a sniff of salt air in August, the guests of Joe Newmark's friend, Bruce Cook, on a fishing trip from Marblehead to Gloucester in his 60-foot Diesel. Your Secretary regrets that he was unable to accept the invitation, as he was farther up the coast, in Maine, at the time.

Roger and Edna Evans are having a ball fixing up the house and cottage at Sea Girt which Mayor Larry Doyle commended to them. Since April of last year they have spent an aggregate of eight months "restoring the charming old wreck," and I have it on good authority that such work is one of the best medicines for keeping your blood pressure in bounds.

Dave and Marion Shumway spent a part of the summer at Port Cunnington, Lake of Bays, Ontario. Their son, Peter was a counselor in a camp two hours' distant. Dave reports that he batted an absolute zero in trying to identify '16ers in the class reunion picture in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. He intimated that everybody looked damned old. Come back to Reunion, Dave, and you will be spared all that agonizing.

Our retired Class President, Stew Paul can now become fully retired and put his feet up. When he resigned from the presidency of Gettysburg College this spring he agreed to stay on until his successor was chosen. In June Dr. Carl Arnold Hanson, dean of the faculty at Cornell, was named to this post. Charlie Brundage has been appointed for a three-year term to the Board of Overseers of the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration. This is just another item on the busy schedule of our hardworking, non-retired classmate, of whom we are very proud. He is also a director of the Trust Company of Morris County, Morristown, N. J., and a trustee of the Union Dime Savings Bank in New Jersey.

Earl Cranston is spending the academic year at the Boston University School of Theology, and his address is 745 Commonwealth Ave., Boston.

No wonder Comrade Stirling Wilson was honored by the College as top Newsletter Editor of the Year. Consider this vignette from a recent Newsletter, describing '16's location at our Fabulous Forty-Fifth:

Down the lane, between the dorms new to us, on the old Hitchcock estate, loomed the beautiful Vermont hills, green and imperturbable, which Daniel Webster looked on daily and which the entering class of 2016 will re-discover with the same pleasurable sensations that we felt in the autumn of 1912.

Stirling has made a good recovery from two bouts with the surgeons, has attended barbershop functions as far away as Minnesota, and at this writing is planning to attend the Dartmouth-Penn game with us at Franklin Field next month.

A pleasant cruise was the occasion for aseagoing party for 16ers. Enjoying thesail from Marblehead were (l to r), JoeNewmark, Alec Jardine, Dick Parkhurst,Sam Cutler, and Hobey Baker.
