1904

FREDERICK WOODS, 78, passed away in his sleep at his summer home in Fairhaven, Mass., on August 26, 1963. He was born in West Brookfield, Mass., February 20, 1885. The youngest graduate of the Class of 1904, he was a member of the Tri Kappa Society.

The year following his graduation, Carl was an instructor in chemistry at the College. The interest and regard he had for Dartmouth is evidenced by the devotion and great service he gave to the College for 60 years: Former president of the Dartmouth General Alumni Association; president, Alumni Council; president, Athletic Council; member of the Dartmouth Development Council; president of the Boston Alumni Association; president of the Bequest and Planning Committee for the College and for the Class of 1904. Last May at the annual Officers Association meeting in Hanover, Carl was awarded the honor of Bequest Chairman of the Year. He was president of the class of 1904 at his death. Few men have given so generously of time and effort for Dartmouth, the College he loved and was so proud to be one of its graduates.

Equally impressive was Carl's record in the world of business. His first entry into business was with the American Window Glass Co., in 1906. From 1907 to 1920 Carl was successively employee, director, vice president, and general manager of the chemical engineering firm of the Arthur D. Little Co. of Boston. He was the owner, president, and treasurer of Crosby Steam Gage and Valve Co. He formed a partnership and was president of the firm of Caswell and Woods, expert-managers of business properties, acting as receivers of companies in financial trouble and for financial institutions. Together with Governor Herter and leading bankers and businessmen of Massachusetts, Carl became president and director of the Massachusetts Business Development Corporation. The purpose of this corporation was to assist new and growing businesses by loans and to attract new industries to Massachusetts.

During Carl's residence in Winchester, Mass., he became a trustee of the Winchester Savings Bank, a member of the Board of Health and member of the Finance Committee for the town. Carl's clubs were: the Dartmouth Club of Boston; the Union Club; Algonquin Club; Newcomers Society; and the Winchester Country Club.

In 1907 Carl married Katherine Duggan of Salem, Mass. They were blessed with a son, James F. Woods '33 now of Portland, Me., and a daughter, Katherine, deceased, December 14, 1942. She was a victim of the tragic Cocoanut Grove disaster. Mrs. Woods also passed away after a long illness. In July, 1954 Carl married the former Mrs. Marion Fryer Wright of Dedham, Mass. Carl and Marion made their home at 172 Beacon Street, Boston.

The secretary finds it difficult to express the deep affection in which Carl was held by all his classmates and by the host of Dartmouth men who knew him for his great service to College and class. Messages of sympathy and regret have been expressed to his beloved wife Marion, whose devotion and loving care of Carl during his long illness can never be expressed in words. Services were held at Trinity Church in Copley Square, Boston. Those attending the services for the Class were: Robbie and daughter, Jimmie Walker, Perce Hobbs and son, Ralph and Mary Sexton, Squid and Marion Lampee, and Mrs. Sidney Rollins of Newport, N. H. Burial was at Wildwood Cemetery in Winchester.

1907

HARRY JAMIS WARNER died Monday, July 8 in Harper Hospital, Detroit, Mich., following a brief illness. Harry was born at Ford River, Mich., April 14, 1884. He prepared for college at the Hopkinton School and was a member of Beta Theta Pi. He left College during his junior year, and for twelve years was with Continental Motors, Muskegon and Detroit, of which he was vice president from 1908-1915. He was former vice president of General Motors Truck and Coach Division from 1915 to 1924 and was with General Motors from 1924 until 1930.

In 1930 he joined the Canadian Lamp Co., Windsor, and was the firm's president at his retirement in 1960. Harry was a member of the Detroit Athletic Club, the Windsor Club and the Essex Golf and Country Club. On October 16, 1907, Harry married Zara Adele Strong of Cambridge, Mass. Zara died in 1933. Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Albert E. Kahn and Mrs. William H. Hoey and six grandchildren.

Funeral services were held on July 11 at the William R. Hamilton Co. Chapel. Cremation was at the Evergreen Cemetery. To Harry's family we in 1907 extend our deepest sympathy.

1908

EBEN WINSLOW FISKE, a prominent orthopedic surgeon of Pittsburgh, Pa., until his retirement in 1956, died of a massive brain hemorrhage at the Falmouth, Mass., Hospital on September 13. "Wink," as he was affectionately known to his classmates, was born in Waltham, Mass., on January 5, 1886, and prepared for Dartmouth at Waltham High School. In college he was secretary of our class in '05 and vice-president in '06. His fraternities were Phi Beta Kappa and Dragon. He took the premedical course and continued on in the Dartmouth Medical School, graduating in 1911 with an M.D. and an A.M. from the College.

Following graduation he started his life work with an internship in the Waltham Hospital in 1911-12 and in the Boston Children's Hospital in 1912-13; then on the outpatient staff of the Children's Hospital and the Boston Dispensary, 1913-15, and the Massachusetts General Hospital 1914-16. From 1916 to 1931 he was chief of orthopedic service in the West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pa., and on the faculty of the Medical School of the University of Pittsburgh.

During World War I he served as an orthopedic surgeon in France. Following his discharge he engaged in private practice as an orthopedic surgeon in Pittsburgh. He was associated with St. Margaret's Hospital, Pittsburgh, Homestead, Pa., hospital, Sewickley, Pa., hospital and the U.S. Veterans Bureau.

Wink was a member of the County and State Medical Association 1916-1956; senior member American Orthopedic Association 1920-1956; Fellow Emeritus, American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, 1934-1956; Fellow, American College of Surgeons, 1944-1956; and many other national and local organizations concerned with orthopedics and rheumatism. In 1937-38 he found time to serve as president of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Western Pennsylvania.

Wink had not been in the best of health since 1952 and in 1956 suffered a stroke which forced him to give up his practice. In 1957 Wink and Dorothy sold their home on Evergreen Road near Pittsburgh and purchased a new home in North Falmouth on Cape Cod.

He leaves his wife, the former Dorothy Turville; three daughters, Mrs. Frances Parker of Lewiston, Pa., Mrs. Ann Kirk of San Francisco, Calif., and Mrs. Jane Martin of Toledo, Ohio. Burial was in the North Falmouth Cemetery. Arthur Lewis, Winthrop Griffin and the Amidons represented the class of 1908 at the funeral, and Larry Symmes sent a memorial in the name of the class to the Free Bed Fund of St. Margaret's Memorial Hospital of Pittsburgh.

1909

WILLIAM HUBBARD PATTERSON passed away at Convalescent Hospitals, University Branch, Menlo Park, Calif., on June 30, less than a week after he and his wife celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary. Bill was born Sept. 21, 1884 in Chicago, Ill., and attended University High School. He entered Dartmouth with the Class of 1908 but graduated with 1909 and retained his affiliation with it. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity and Casque & Gauntlet Senior Society. He was a member of the College Banjo Club.

After graduation, he spent three years with the National Life Insurance Co. in Chicago and Portland, Ore. In 1913, he became secretary to the U.S. Commerce Co., Portland; in 1916, import manager, A. O. Anderson & Co.; in 1919, manager, Shanghai, China, branch of the same company. From 1922-1931, he was a merchandise broker in Manila, Philippine Islands and Ford district agent. In 1932, he became vice president of Manila Trading and Supply Co. Captured by the Japanese in World War II, he was interned at Camp Santo Tomas until 1945. This experience broke his health and he returned to the States to a life of retirement.

On June 24, 1913, Bill was married to Louise Williams at Portland, Ore. One daughter, Virginia Louise, was born to them. He is survived by his widow, his daughter and two sisters, Ida L. Patterson and Mrs. J. A. Menual, both of Menlo Park. Bill willed his body to the Stanford Medical School.

1911

RICHARD VOLNEY CHASE died June 15 at Cape Cod Hospital following about a year's illness. He was born in Plymouth, N. H., June 4, 1887. Dick came to Dartmouth from Worcester Academy. He was a member of Theta Delta Chi fraternity, Casque and Gauntlet, and on the varsity football squad for three years.

Following graduation he was with his father's lumber firm as treasurer and then manager in Lakeport, N. H., until 1924 when he became lumber agent for the Standard Steel Car Co. for two years. From 1926 to 1929 he was assistant to the vice president of Keith Car Co. which position he continued to occupy until 1929 with the Osgood Bradley Car Corp. Upon its merger with the Pullman Co., he became superintendent of the Pullman-Standard Car Manufacturing Co. At the time of his retirement he was general manager of the Worcester, Mass., plant and district manager of New England and vice president of Pullman-Standard.

During his early years in the car manufacturing business he lived in Hammond, Ind., and Butler, Pa., but in 1926 he moved to Worcester which continued to be his home until his retirement, when he settled at 297 West Bay Road, Osterville, Mass. In recent years he and Mary spent part of the winter months in Clearwater, Fla., where they were active among the local Dartmouth alumni. Dick belonged to the Masonic and Elk Orders and the Wianno Golf Club. At one time he was president of the Belknap, N. H., Dartmouth Alumni Association.

Dick and Mary E. Cheney were married in Ashland, N. H., July 15, 1912. Their three children were Richard Jr. '37, who died of a heart attack when in swimming a year ago, Mary E. (Mrs. John P. Scully) of Wyomissing, Pa., and Irving H. of Concord, Mass. Mary, with her children and 14 grandchildren survive.

Funeral services were held in the Unitarian Church in Barnstable, Mass., and burial was in the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Concord, Mass. Josh and Polly Clark represented the Class at the service. The family requested that any memorial gift be sent to the Cape Cod Hospital.

1912

Word reached the secretary during the past summer that ERNEST R. PATTEN had died in 1961. News from this member of the Class since he left College has been very scanty and infrequent.

Ernest Rollin Patten was born December 19, 1887 at Walpole, N. H., son of the Rev. George W. Patten and Sarah Tyler Patten. He prepared for college at Cambridge (Mass.) High School and entered Dartmouth with the Class of 1912. Pat spent only two years in Hanover and since then his whereabouts have been difficult to follow.

On January 2, 1934 he married Evelyn Cora Keith at Conway, N. H. Evelyn died January 29, 1960. There is no record of any children to our knowledge.

The last news of Pat was that he was an invalid in a nursing home at Brownfield, Me., where apparently he passed away.

1915

MAYNARD BROMLEY ANDRUS, retired after many years with the U. S. Foreign Service, died October 5, 1962 at Bergenfield, N. J., where he had resided for the past few years.

"Andy" was born December 17, 1892 at Valley City, N. Dak., the son of George King Andrus and Ninnie Bromley Estabrook Andrus. He attended Dartmouth from 1911 to 1913, where he was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and received his A.B. degree in 1916 from Harvard. In the U. S. Foreign Service from 1919 to 1949, he served for many years in Berlin, Germany, and later in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

He was not married and had been living with a niece in Bergenfield.

1916

REGINALD FREDERICK CHUTTER died July 26 in George Washington Hospital, Washington, D. C., of a heart attack. He was chief of the Trade Development Branch of the United States Agency for International Development in Turkey, and lived at 2500 Q St., N.W., Washington, D. C.

Reg was born in Littleton, N. H., Aug. 30, 1893, and attended Phillips Academy, Andover, before entering Dartmouth. Soon after graduating he began his lifetime career in international finance with the National City Bank of New York in Argentina. Then for 26 years he was connected with Philadelphia firms, being export manager with H. K. Mulford from 1921 to 1929, and director of foreign operations with Sharpe and Dohme, manufacturing chemists, from 1929 to 1947. During his career in that city he was a director of the Chamber of Commerce, and of the Board of Foreign Trade, president of International House, trustee of the Baldwin School, and a member of the Art Alliance. He also served as chairman of the National Federation of Foreign Trade Assns. in the United States and several other trade councils and associations.

Representing the U.S. Government, Reg served in Greece from 1948 to 1951 at the start of the Marshall Plan as deputy executive director of the Foreign Trade Administration of Greece. From 1951 to 1955 he served in Taiwan as chief of the Procurement Office in the Mutual Security Mission to China. He also founded the International House in Taipei. Reg then went to Lebanon as senior regional investment adviser for the Near East. In 1957 he returned to Washington for a two-year assignment with the Development Loan Fund.

1960 he began his final foreign assignment - to Turkey, where he was active in developing tourism in that country as a means of earning foreign exchange. He helped form the Tuscan Hotel chain and the Hotel School in Ankara, and assisted in the establishment of courses for guides in history and archeology at the University 01 the Aegean at Izmir. For the Agency for International Development he was project director of the Export Promotion Center and Turkish Standards Institution at Ankara. Reg was stationed in Turkey until a heart attack necessitated his return to Washington. He was a member of the Metropolitan Club of New York and the Dacor House in Washington.

Reg was married in 1927 to Adriana Johanna Kasteleyn of The Hague, who survives him, together with their daughter, Harriet Elizabeth (Mrs. Craig) Matthews of Washington, and a sister, Mildred Chutter of Athens, Ohio.

Memorial services were held in the chapel of Oak Hill Cemetery, Georgetown, on July 31. The Class was represented by Gran Fuller and Bill Brett. The family asked that in preference to flowers contributions be sent to the Chutter Memorial at Phillips Academy, Andover.

1917

MORRIS GRAVES HAMMOND died August 1, at the Mary Fletcher Hospital at Burlington, Vt. Morris was born at Mt. Holly, Vt., on September 25, 1894, the son of the late Mattie (Graves) and Dr. Schuyler Weston Hammond. Before entering Dartmouth where he was a member of Phi Kappa Psi, he attended Chattanooga High School. From the mid 40's to the mid 50's he was connected with various governmental agencies, first with the War Production Board as a priorities analyst, then the Veterans Administration and finally, as general manager of the Ethan Allen Air Force Exchange.

He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Dorothy Hammond of Burlington, Vt.; a daughter, Mrs. William Cooper of Delaware; a brother, Dr. Weston C. Hammond of Rutland, Vt. and a sister, Mrs. Kenneth Gorham of Middlebury, Vt.

1918

FRANCIS CLARK HARDIE passed away in the Presbyterian-St. Luke's Hospital, Chicago on Sunday, August 25. "Fat," as he was affectionately known to all of his class, had gone to the hospital for a check-up which resulted in surgery from which he failed to rally. He was born in Evanston, Ill., in 1895. He graduated from Evanston High School and entered Dartmouth in September 1914. He resided in 28 South Massachusetts and was a member of the Psi U fraternity.

He was a bachelor and for many years made his home at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. For years he unofficially maintained headquarters for all Dartmouth men, particularly Eighteeners, who lived in and around Indianapolis or who were visiting in the area. He was a most gracious host and always interested in Dartmouth College. His many friends in the Waukegan and Indianapolis area report that he was extremely proud and happy about his connections with Dartmouth College. He always enjoyed reminiscing about his undergraduate days. He was instrumental in steering many of the younger generation living in and around Indianapolis to Dartmouth.

The Indianapolis community, Dartmouth College and the class have lost a sincere friend and benefactor. He will be missed by all of us and his memory will live with us throughout the rest of our lives.

1923

ALBERT LOUIS EMERSON, banking and industrial leader of Warrensburg, N. Y., died on August 9, at the Albany Medical Center Hospital. In his passing, Dartmouth has lost a devoted son and outstanding alumnus. Al was a man who achieved success in several fields, any one of which would have been considered a satisfactory career to most of us. He was president of the Emerson National Bank and a director of the National Commercial Bank and Trust Company of Albany. Having started his banking career as a cashier of the Emerson National Bank in 1925, he was elected vice president in 1927. He was also a partner in the A. C. Emerson Lumber Company.

From 1953 until the time the Imperial Paper and Color Corporation was sold, Al was a vice president of the company. He had been a director since 1924 and had served on the Executive Committee for many years. A career in the hotel business was another of his accomplishments, having at one time owned the famous Leland House of Schroon Lake, and the Adirondack Hotel in Warrensburg. The latter was restored and modernized under his direction and renamed the Colonial Arms. Al was a long time member of the New York State Hotel Association and a member of the Adirondack Resorts Associated.

His interest in politics was inherited from his father, the late State Senator James A. Emerson, and an uncle, Congressman L. W. Emerson. At the time of his death Albert was a Republican state committeeman. In spite of his many responsibilities, Al found time for golf, a sport for which he was an avid enthusiast, and was a member of the Glens Falls Country Club; Fort Orange Club, Albany; the Le Gorce Country Club in Miami; and the Pine Valley Country Club.

One of Upstate New York's leading citizens wrote in tribute to his friends: "Albert was a very loyal and sympathetic friend to people in need. I suspect that kind and thoughtful deeds will come to light for many years. Even though he became a wealthy man he never lived ostentatiously or extravagantly. He had a deep-seated interest in the community in which he lived and the broader area which embraced the entire county. He always had time to listen to problems and usually gave a forthright and candid answer."

The sympathy of his many Dartmouth friends was extended to his widow, Bonnie, by the large delegation who attended the funeral on August 12, at the First Presbyterian Church of Warrensburg.

1924

Those who remember STEWART WENZEL SHIMONEK before he left Dartmouth in May 1923 speak of him as lovable and devoted to his friends. He turned more toward his profession and earned a B.S. in 1926, M.B. in 1929, and his M.D. degree in 1930 - all at the University of Minnesota. His specialty was orthopaedics and his record is an impressive one. It included travel abroad to visit clinics, although much of his early career was experienced at his birthplace St. Paul, Minn.

In 1930, Stew married Helen Botsford, a graduate of Wells College. They had no children. When the country required his services in World War II, he served with the Navy and Marines in the Pacific at Okinawa, Iwo Jima, etc. He elected to remain in service with the rank of captain and served as chief medical officer of the Fifth Naval District in the Norfolk, Va. area. The war record book lists his several awards. His Navy career covered 1942-45, 1950-56, and thence to date. He lived very simply, when off duty, in a "Shangri-la" in Mexico, about 100 miles up the coast from Acapulco. Since leaving Dartmouth, Stew had not been active in College affairs.

1925

The Class of 1925, the Hanover-Norwich community, and the official College mourns the passing of ANDREW BRISBIN FOSTER, retired U.S. Foreign Service Officer and executive secretary of the Trustees Planning Committee at Dartmouth since 1960. He died in his sleep Tuesday, October 8 at his home in Norwich at the age of 60.

Andy had been in the Foreign Service for 22 years in posts throughout the world and recently had been the college staff co-ordinator working with the trustees in developing long-range plans for Dartmouth. Andy retired from the Foreign Service in 1957, and he and Barbara bought one of the oldest and loveliest houses in Norwich.

He was born in Philadelphia and was graduated from Dartmouth in 1925. He earned a bachelor's and master's degree from Cambridge University, England, and later won a Penfield Fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania which he used to study the Free City of Danzig in both Danzig and Geneva.

He was named deputy district inspector of the Saar Plebiscite Commission in 1934 and entered the Foreign Service in 1935. He subsequently served in Montreal, Salonika, Athens, Cairo, Canberra, and London.

Between foreign assignments, he served in Washington as a member and secretary of the U.S. Section, Permanent Joint Board of Defense, U.S.-Canada; chief in charge of Canadian Affairs, British Commonwealth Affairs Division of the Department of State; as chief of the Division of Foreign Service Planning, and as executive assistant to the assistant secretary of state.

Since his retirement he had served as a trustee of Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital in Hanover, as a member of Dartmouth's William Jewett Tucker Council, as Dartmouth's Peace Corps representative, and as chairman of the Trustees Planning Subcommittee on Student Health.

Andy's devotion to Dartmouth and his loyalty to the Class of 1925 continued from Commencement Day. He was one of a few in the class with an unbroken record of Alumni Fund contributions from 1926 through 1963. A quiet soft-spoken man, his kindliness, friendliness, and his tenderness bespoke a man who possessed to an extremely high degree sweetness and light. He will be sorely missed by this class, by his College, and by his host of friends.

Survivors include his wife, the former Barbara Kirk; two sons, David K. Foster, Washington, D. C., and Michael K. Foster, Fort Bliss, Texas; his mother, Mrs. E. L. Foster, Philadelphia; three brothers, Richard W. Foster and John Foster, both of Wayne, Pa., and Frank Foster, Philadelphia; and two sisters, Mrs. Oscar Stonorov, Phoenixville, Pa., and Miss Edith Foster, Philadelphia.

1930

PAUL PHILIP CUSANO passed away at the Van Dyke Nursing Home, Ridgewood, N. J., on July 30. Paul had not kept in touch with the Class and only sketchy information is available as to his career. He was born in Buenos Aires but entered Dartmouth from Hand High School, Madison, Conn. He left Hanover after a year and, it is believed, then attended Penn State College before founding his own company, the American Cabinet and Billiard Co. in Union City, N.J. Later when the manufacturer of shuifleboards became the main activity of the company, its name was changed to American Shuffleboard Company. Cuse held several patents in the woodworking field.

He is survived by his wife, Mary, a son, Paul Jr., and, a daughter, Donna, to all of whom the sympathy of the Class has been expressed. The family home is at 266 Passaic Avenue, Hasbrouck Heights, N. J.

THOMAS CUSHING DUNNINGTON, a fine gentleman and a very loyal classmate died August 18, 1963 in Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, Dover, N. H. We suspect that Tom succumbed to a heart attack, for it was known that he had had a heart condition. His passing became a tragic sequel to the marriage of his only daughter, Margaret, the previous day.

Tom was a native of Burlington, Vt., born October 21, 1907; entered Dartmouth from Phillips Exeter and prepared for Tuck School. After graduation he transferred to Columbia where he received his M.S. from its business school in 1931. His fraternity was Sigma Alpha Epsilon. He spent about twelve years in New York working with three of the larger advertising agencies, and with the advent of World War II joined the purchasing department of Fairchild Aviation, Farmingdale, N. Y. After the war, he returned to Dover and became the owner of Seavey Hardware Co. In 1953 he became the owner, president, and treasurer of Smalley-Dunnington, Inc., Salmon Falls, N. H., a real estate firm which he continued to operate for the remainder of his life.

Tom had a variety of interests and space permits only a brief listing. Politically he had been a Dover councilman, a state representative, and a state senator. In other public service he had been a member of the Dover School Board, a trustee of the Dover Public Library, and for many years was active in Boy Scout and Red Cross work. He was senior warden of the First Congregational Church of Dover, a Rotarian, and an incorporator of both the Strafford Savings Bank and the Rollingsford Savings Bank. He had also served as chairman of the parents' committee of the Alumni Fund of the University of New Hampshire.

Tom is survived by his wife Mary, their daughter Margaret, now Mrs. Lewis W. Hudgins of Mathews, Va.; and their son, Tom. The family home is at 230 Washington Street, Dover, N. H. The Class will miss Tom Dunnington very much indeed, for he joined in all of its activities and was a good companion at all times.

1938

BLATNER BARNET JR. died on August 9, 1963 following a long illness. Pete as his classmates and friends knew him was one of the rare ones, sound in judgment, stout of heart and ever-willing to be of service to those in need.

Pete majored in English at Dartmouth and was an active member of his fraternity, Pi Lambda Phi. He also made a major contribution to the launching of crew, a sport which was in its infancy when he was an undergraduate. Pete always felt deeply about Dartmouth and it was a great disappointment to him and his family that they were unable to attend his 25th Reunion.

Following graduation, Pete entered the firm of William Barnet and Sons, manufacturer of textile fiber blends. He and his brother Bill '34 represent the third generation to participate in this business. At the time of his death he was secretary-treasurer. During World War II Pete served as an Army officer and over a five-year period made excellent use of his English major by becoming an expert in writing technical manuals for Army Ordnance.

Pete shall perhaps best be remembered for the kind of man he was; a devoted son, a wonderful husband and father, and a true friend. An editorial which appeared in the Albany Times-Union at the time of his death read in part: "The cities of Albany and Rensselaer have sustained a most serious loss in the untimely passing of Henry B. Barnet Jr. His cheery approach, his ever-ready willingness to participate in all worthwhile activities, and his courageous and uncomplaining attitude during a prolonged and distressingly painful illness, could well be the subject of a sermon.

"He was one of the founders of the Rensselaer Boys' Club and, largely through his enthusiasm and his activities, the club has a most modern building and contributes tremendously to the decline of local juvenile delinquency. He was also one of the founders of Workshop, Inc., which aids the handicapped in becoming at least partially self-supporting. Through his untiring efforts this organization has grown to be one which has aroused the envy of many communities."

Surviving him are his wife, the former Eleanor Gunst of 19 Pinetree Lane, Albany; his two sons, Henry B. 11l and Thomas G.; his mother, Mrs. Henry B. Barnet; a sister, Mrs. Minna Nathan, and a brother, William B. Barnet II '34.

1954

CAPTAIN RORERT HART DALY JR. was killed in an airplane crash in Nevada on April 12, 1963. Bob prepared for Dartmouth at Concord High School, and while in Hanover was a member of Alpha Theta, the D.O.C. and the winter carnival committee.

He married Ellen Mullaney on October 19, 1957 in Concord, Mass., and they had two sons and two daughters. Bob had re-entered the Air Force in June 1962, after having been employed as merchandising manager of Moby Dick's Gift Shop in West Yarmouth, Mass. At the time of his death he had just been transferred to Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada.

Sympathies of the class have been extended to his family, his wife Ellen, and their children, who now reside at 5 Hall Avenue, Nashua, N. H.

1959

On July 9 the Class of 1959, friends and relatives in Wellesley, and family mourned the death of DAVID THOMAS BURTON. While cheeking out an experienced pilot for jet service in a T-37 jet trainer near Andrews, Texas, Ist Lt. Burton's plane was reported as entering an inadvertent spin from which it never recovered. After a memorial service at Webb Air Force Base, Big Spring, Texas, he was buried with full military honors in Arlington National Cemetery. As an accomplished pilot he was interested in the further challenge of astronaut service. Four days prior to his death, he had been recommended by the Air Force to the National Aeronautical Space Administration for this desired change. The report which he had not seen had the following to say about his qualifications for what may have been his career choice:

"Lt. Burton reflects very sound and mature judgment for a young officer. His calmness and exacting manner have enabled him to successfully cope with several in-flight emergencies. His reassuring manner and professionalism instills confidence in everyone he flies with. I feel that his professional approach and outstanding ability would make him a valuable member of any flight crew. Lt. Burton is highly recommended for the Astronaut Training Program."

Those that knew "Burl" can unquestionably second this commendation.

Burl entered Thayer School after receiving an A.B. from Dartmouth, and was awarded an M.S. degree. He was a member of Theta Delta Chi and Dragon Senior Society. He was also active in soccer, wrestling and President of the Rowing Club.

To his parents, his wife Sandy who is now residing at 61 Whittier Road, Wellesley Hills, and his three children, the class extends its sincere sympathy. His memory will always remain, as the last line of Dartmouth Undying so aptly states, "miraculously builded in our hearts."
