He found it "an exciting business, embodying buying, financing, advertising and merchandising."
In 1949 Frank was awarded an All-American Merchant certificate by the National Retail Furniture Association and in 1953 a Certificate of Merit by the New England Furniture Association. Three years later he was elected president of the National Retail Furniture Association and traveled through 46 states in connection with duties of that office.
Surviving are two sons, Francis R. Jr., a student at Bates College, and Edward M., who is at Cushing Academy; also his mother, Mrs. Mary J. Houlihan; a brother Charles D. of Wellesley Hills, Mass.; and j sister, Mrs. John P. Rattigan, of Newton Mass.
1941
Almost simultaneously with the tragic event of November 22 of worldwide impact tragedy struck our class in a remarkably similar fashion. On November 26 in the early hours of the morning THOMAS EDWK OAKES was found stabbed to death in Gau. dalajara, Mexico, about fifteen yards from his car. The U.S. Consulate reported that Tom had been stabbed four times and police officials reported that he had about $36 in Mexican pesos on his person and a few more pesos in his car.
Tom, formerly of Minneapolis, went to Mexico about five years ago, where he operated a ranch about 30 miles from Guadalajara. He grew maguey plants and coowned the Tekare Restaurant, a leading one in that city.
At Dartmouth, Tom, aside from earning Phi Beta Kappa honors, had an enviable record of extracurricular activities. In addition to being a member of Gamma Delta Chi, Green Key, and Palaeopitus, he was business manager of The Dartmouth, and co-editor of the Freshman Handbook. He was buried in Minneapolis, where he prepared for Dartmouth at the Blake School.
Tom is survived by his mother, Mrs. Anna Oakes of Minneapolis, and a sister, Mrs. Dexter Clarke of Indianapolis, to both of whom we extend our deepest sympathy on this great loss in such a tragic fashion. 1941 has lost one wonderful fellow.
1948
It is with great sadness that we report the passing of MARIO SALVATORE NICOSIA on November 27 in New York. "Nick," as he was known to his many Dartmouth friends, had a sudden heart attack, although he had been sick very little during his life.
Mario lived m the Bronx where he had been born and brought up. He attended the DeWitt Clinton High School in New York City and came to Hanover in the Navy program in 1944. He was a member of Zeta Psi fraternity and as his many friends will remember, was a quiet, handsome fellow.
After graduating from Dartmouth in 1948, "Nick" immediately began working for Sears Roebuck & Co. in their New York office where he continued until his death. He had advanced to the position of buyer of women's apparel. Outside of business, he was an active member of the Knights of Columbus.
Although not very active in the affairs of Dartmouth or the Class of 1948, "Nick" was most interested in the happenings and new developments of both. His loss will be sorely felt by his many Dartmouth friends, who join in expressing their deepest sympathy to his wife Stella, residing at 780 Grand Concourse, N. Y. 51; his daughter Pamela, and his son Mark.
1960
The Class has been informed of the death of CRAIG ROSCOE CORNELL in Montana on August 28. He and his wife were killed in the crash of their Piper Cub while delivering supplies to a sheepherder.
A member of Delta Kappa Epsilon and the freshman crew, Craig left Dartmouth to pursue his studies at Montana State College. He and his wife, the former Teddy Rouse, had been married less than a year and there were no children.
