JOHN THOMAS KEADY, outstanding athlete and coach, died February 12 at the home of his son, Walter E. Keady '34, 41 Manchester St., Nashua, N. H., after a long illness. He was born August 18, 1883 in Wakefield, Mass., and entered Dartmouth from Wake-field High School.

At Dartmouth Tom soon became well known as an athlete and made many friends. He is particularly remembered by the Dartmouth men of his time for his pitching to Frank "Chesty" McCabe and for his colorful, Irish wit. Tom won lasting renown as the author of the imperishable football song, "As the Backs Go Tearing By."

After graduation Tom made coaching his career and gained high esteem and success in this field. He started at Dartmouth in 1907 as head coach of basketball and baseball and assistant coach of football. From there he went on to coach football and baseball at the following schools: Bates, Lehigh, Vermont, Quantico Marines, Western Reserve, Fordham, and Lowell (Mass.) High School. While at Lehigh, where he coached from 1912 to 1921, Tom was counted as among the six leading football coaches of the country. In 1959 he was awarded a plaque at a football celebration at that institution, and, as a further mark of esteem, Lehigh is naming its new memorial baseball held in his honor.

Included in Keady's experiences was a period of coaching the Massillon (Ohio) Tigers, a professional football team. Among some of his well-known players were Knute Rockne and Lou Little.

In 1907 Tom married Amelia S. Malonson of Wakefield. She died in 1955. Tom is survived by two sons, Walter and C. Richard Keady '44, and six grandchildren.

At the time of his death Tom was a member of the Dartmouth Club of Nashua and the Gridiron Club of Boston.

1906

After a brave fight for a number of years CHARLES SUMNER HOWARD passed away in his home at 4200 Greenwood Dr., Des Moines, lowa, on December 11, 1963. He was suffering from cancer, but an indomitable spirit, the loving care of his wife Helen, and a remarkable serum developed by Dr. Rosenan of Mayo Clinic enabled him to carry on in reasonable comfort until a short time before his death.

Charlie, a transfer from William Penn College, entered Dartmouth at the beginning of sophomore year from Oskaloosa, lowa. The name of his home town so intrigued his classmates that he soon was nicknamed Lucy from Oskaloosy and it stayed with him through college.

His early business experience after graduation was in banking in Oskaloosa, and he later became State Bank Examiner. He left to enter the Army and his determination was shown by his being finally accepted for duty after eight rejections. After the war he moved to Des Moines to work for the lowa Loan and Trust Co., becoming vice-president in 1921. In 1946 Charlie became vice-president and general manager of Iowa Valve Company of Oskaloosa with offices in Des Moines and remained with the company until his retirement in 1946.

He was at one time a director of Des Moines Chamber of Commerce and of the Des Moines Children's Home. Other activities included being president of the Dartmouth Club of lowa.

Charlie and Helen in the retirement years were indefatigable travelers and avoided lowa's rugged winters by traveling all over and around the world. They took remarkable pictures of places and people they had seen. An evening with them was a treat and an education. Having a wonderful sense of humor, Charlie was a delightful companion. How much we regret that we of '06 could not have seen him more often at reunions in the long stretch since college days.

Charlie leaves his wonderful wife, Helen; a brother Russell, Class of 1918; and a number of nephews and nieces to whom he was devoted. The sympathy of the Class goes to them.

Later he went to Norwood Press of Walpole as supervisor and remained there until 1952 when his firm went out of business and he retired. He served in World War I and was a member of American Legion Post No. 70. As a loyal Dartmouth man he loved to go to Hanover whenever he could, not only for reunions but also at other times. His friendly warmth and engaging smile will be greatly missed by his classmates.

He was with us only one year, then transferred to Harvard, from which he received a B.S. degree in 1916.

Don served overseas in the U. S. Air Force for 14 months in World War I, after which he was in the oil business in Taft, Calif., and later in the mining business in Carson City.

On December 8, 1922 he married Mrs. Ada Van Sant Stoddard, who survives him, as does a stepson, James Van Sant Stoddard. In later years Don was connected with we Stewart Indian School in Carson City, and had retired from that work only a short while before his death.

1917

DR. CLARENCE WILEY SPEARS, former All- America football player and long-time coach at Dartmouth, West Virginia, Minnesota, Oregon, Wisconsin, Toledo and University of Maryland, passed away on February 1. He was 69 years old.

"Doc" was born in DeWitt, Ark., and was elected All-American in 1915 after having established himself as a 220-pound Samson who ripped opposing lines to shreds. He was considered one of the great linemen of his day, perhaps any day. He was a member of DKE and Sphinx.

In 1917 he was engaged to coach the Dartmouth team. That year and the next he developed teams under extremely discouraging conditions. Only one letterman returned in 1918, practice was limited to an hour, and trips were made the day of the game. Three home games were won but three contests away were lost. The 1919 and 1920 seasons were more successful.

Doc left coaching to pursue his medical career, and earned his M.D. at Chicago University in 1922. He then returned to coaching and until his retirement in 1945 coached at many schools across the country. Perhaps his greatest fame was won at Minnesota where he turned loose Bronko Nagurski and other great Gopher stars, and his annual battles with his old and great friend Knute Rockne have come to be considered almost legendary epics of the gridiron.

Until his retirement to Florida a year ago "Doc" had been practising medicine in Ypsilanti, Michigan. He had served as a scout and adviser for the Green Bay Packers and at another time for the Washington Redskins. He also served as physician for the Detroit Lions.

He is survived by his widow Cornelia, at 1523 N. Kingsley Rd., Jupiter, Fla.; a son Robert, who captained the Yale football team in 1951; and two daughters, Mrs. Alfred C. LeFeber of Cincinnati and Mrs. Allison S. Fulford of Columbus, Ohio.

WILLIAM HENRY ALLISON, life-long practitioner and teacher of engineering, loyal Dartmouth son and Christian gentleman, died of a heart attack on February 3 as he was leaving a trustees' meeting of the Second Presbyterian Church, Auburn, N. Y.

Hank was born in Beacon, N. Y., on June 27, 1892, son of Dr. Henry E. Allison '75 and Anna DePuy Allison. He came to Hanover by way of Northampton (Mass.) High School and Exeter Academy. He received his B.S. degree with the Class; joined the Student Engineer Corps in January 1918; received his C.E. degree from Thayer School in June, and a month later became a private in the 604 th Engineers. He was discharged with the rank of Sergeant 1st Class on December 31, 1918.

He began his civilian career with the Southern Railway in February 1919. There followed other employment with engineering responsibilities, but in 1926 he turned to teaching and became instructor at Yale's Sheffield Scientific School.

In 1929 Hank left Yale for Potsdam, N. Y., there to become Assistant Professor of Engineering at Clarkson College of Technology; also a neighbor of Ruth and Walt Sisson; and to remain there for the next 30 years. He advanced to associate professor in 1937; to the full professorship and acting head of the Civil Engineering Department ten years later; and in February 1951 to chairman of the department. He gave up the chairmanship in 1957 but continued as professor until his retirement in June 1959. Dedication of the 1958 college annual, TheClarksonian, was a valued and well-merited tribute from his students.

After retirement, Hank and his wife, the former Ella L. "Babcock, moved to 1 Norman Ave., Auburn, the town where they had been married on June 30, 1941. Hank became active in church affairs and at the time of his death was an elder and trustee of the Second Presbyterian Church.

In college Hank was a member of Kappa Sigma. Membership in professional groups included Gamma Alpha Psi, scientific honorary society; Tau Beta Pi, engineering honorary; and Chi Epsilon, civil engineering honorary. He was also a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, chairman of the Upper New York Section of the A.S.E.E. in 1951: and a Mason. He was also listed in Who's Who in Science and Engineering.

He is survived by his wife and a sister, Mrs. C. Raymond Thayer of Northampton, Mass. Burial was in Fort Hill Cemetery, Auburn.

After-college contacts have been infrequent, but Hank never lost interest in Dartmouth affairs, and for those who were privileged to know him well his passing marks the loss of a warm, undemanding and faithful friend.

1920

HARRY LOUIS HARRIS passed away in Washington, D. C., on December 31, 1963, following a stroke.

Harry had been a resident of Washington since the age of two. He was quarterback on our freshman team in the fall of 1916.

During World War I Harry served as an aviator in the Navy and flew Admiral Richard E. Byrd to several assignments. After the war he attended the University of West Virginia and played football there before joining the Akron Professionals as quarterback for the 1920 season. He later opened his own insurance agency.

At the outbreak of World War II Harry became a lieutenant commander in the Coast Guard. He returned to his general casualty insurance business at the end of the war and retired several years ago because of failing health. He was a member of the Dartmouth Club, the Army and Navy Club, and Spangler Post, American Legion.

Harry is survived by his wife, thne former Edna Shaw at 4200 Cathedral Ave., N.W.; a daughter, Mrs. William Dorsey; his mother, Mrs. Sophia R. Harris; a brother, Joseph R., and one granddaughter. The Class extends sincere sympathy to his family.

1924

This is the brief record of a classmate, THEODORE BOOTH HUBBELL, who lived many lives all in one. He was born February 24, 1902 in Cleveland, Ohio; son of a printer. Coming to Dartmouth from high school at Lakewood, Ohio, he left in 1921. He graduated from Western Reserve University, where he earned his Phi Beta Kappa key, studied at the Ohio Wesleyan Pastors School and at the West Virginia School of Religion. He was riding "two horses" as he was employed as a printer in his father's House of Hubbell, Inc. in Cleveland - but he had started a flying career as early as 1925. A log of 1925-30 indicated 2107 flying hours. One of the few survivors as an airmail pilot of those early aviation days, Ted in 1930 went with the Embry-Riddle School of Aviation in Cincinnati, Ohio. At one time he was secretary-manager of the Pelee (sailing) Club in Ontario, Canada, and was a 33d degree Mason, Scottish Rite and York.

Ted and his first wife, Betty Jane, had two children: Arthur Walter, born in 1941, and Linn Louise, born in 1946. Five years later Ted returned to his collegiate interests as a minister, first in 1951 at Phalanx Station, Ohio, then Piketon, and finally in Follansbee, W. Va.

Ted married his second wife, Elizabeth, in Atlanta, and after he retired they went to Florida for a time. In the summer of 1962 he became interested in social work and went to Birmingham, Ala., to become associated with the Alabama Boys Industrial School.

Since May of 1963 Ted had been in declining health. In December he entered the University Hospital where he died on Christmas morning. We send our sympathy to his surviving widow, who had such a short life with this energetic and brilliant man. She may be addressed at 8950 Roebuck Blvd., Birmingham, Ala.

The notice the College received of his death stated that HARLAN FREEMAN BAKER died on March 22, 1963, at the Belmont Home for the Aged, in Worcester, Mass. Behind these bare facts there is deep tragedy, going back many years. He had been listed as "not interested" in the Class or the College, ever since 1939 when his address was the State Hospital in Worcester.

Harlan did not graduate. From 1927 to 1936 his address was Leominster, Mass.; then the State Hospital at Worcester. His death was reported by the Superintendent of the Belmont Home for the Aged. Harlan had been working there for about ten years; when he was unable to continue he retired at the Belmont Home. He died of pneumonia at 61, leaving two daughters: Mrs. Peter Cassinari and Mrs. Lee Quinlan. We have no further data.

1926

LAWRENCE WOLFF died on February 14 after an illness of several months. His home was at 24 Valley Road, Scarsdale, New York.

"Pete" was born in New York City on December 11, 1902. He prepared for college at Horace Mann School where his classmates were Hub Harwood, Bob Minton, and the late Abner Oskes, all of whom came to Hanover in the fall of 1922. He lived during freshman year at 48 South Main St.

After graduation Pete was with Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. for about ten years, and then joined Frenkel & Co., insurance brokers. He was Secretary and Treasurer of that company for many years.

Pete married Peggy Finke on June 11, 1936. In addition to his widow and a daughter, Susan Ann Wolff, he is survived by his brother, Dr. Irving G. Wolff 'l6, who lives in Princeton, New Jersey.

He was an ardent skier and tennis player, and owned an extensive stamp collection. Pete was a regular attendant at our New York class dinners and was active in the Alumni Fund for many years. He was a member of the Dartmouth Club, the Scarsdale Town Club, and the County Tennis Club.

Funeral services were at the Universal Funeral Church in New York on February 17. The Class was represented by Gordon Chipman, Henri Esquerrg, Herm Trefethen, Holt McAloney, and Ed Hanlon. We can hardly do better in describing Pete than to quote from a recent note from Hub Harwood: "He was always a very kind and gentle friend." And finally, a note from his brother Irving, thanking the Class for sending flowers, said quite simply - and so truly, "He loved Dartmouth."

1927

JAMES KAPP CHANDLER, nationally known real estate editor of the Cleveland Press, died November 18 at Doctors Hospital, Cleveland, from cancer.

Born in Toledo, Ohio, Jim entered Dart mouth from Lakewood. In Hanover he was a member of Alpha Tau Omega and Round table, and majored in sociology.

HOMER GILBERT MACVEAN died January 27 in Valley Hospital, Ridgewood, N. J., after a long illness.

A member of Beta Theta Pi in college; "Mac" had operated his own mortgage and insurance agency in Ridgewood since 1938. He had been Village Commissioner, Public Works Commissioner, and was a member of the Planning Board. He was a past president of the Ridgewood Board of Realtors, past executive secretary of the Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce, a past president of the Willard School P.T.A., a trustee of the Valley Hospital, and a member of the Society of Residential Appraisers.

Interviewing applicants for Dartmouth from the Ridgewood area was a continuing contribution Mac made to the College. He was a member of the Dartmouth Club of New York.

Hie Ridgewood Herald News paid Mac a tribute in reporting that he was "a man who preferred to work quietly, without fanfare or newspaper publicity." Those of us who knew him well at Hanover know how very fittingly that remark describes him during our college days.

He is survived by his wife Jane of 308 W. Ridgewood Ave., and two sons, Charles '59 and Stephen '65. To them the Class of 1931 extends its heartfelt sympathy.

1939

DR. ALBERT CROW HATCHER died suddenly on January 29 at the age of 46, in Wellington, Kansas, of acute coronary occlusion. He had been in good health until the afternoon of his sudden passing.

Albie Hatcher transferred to Dartmouth at the beginning of his junior year from the New Mexico Military Institution. He entered Dartmouth Medical School in his senior year and graduated there in 1940. He transferred to Northwestern Medical School, received his M.D. degree in 1942, and inerned at the Ancker Hospital in St. Paul, Minn. He served in the United States Army Medical Corps from 1943 to 1946, and was actively engaged in the European Campaign from the invasion at Anzio through the final surrender of Germany.

He was discharged from the service with the rank of Captain in the Medical Corps in 1946, and then entered the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research as a Fellow in Obstetrics and Gynecology, which was his specialty in medical practice. He left the Mayo Clinic in 1949 to engage in private practice at the Hatcher Clinic and Hospital which had been founded by his father, also a physician, in 1916, at Wellington, Kansas. He became Medical Director of this Clinic and Hospital in 1956 and retained this position until his death. He was a member of the American Medical Association and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.

Albie was married to Miss Madelin Fisher, of Caldwell, Kansas, in 1942. They had three children: Lynn, Albert Jr., and Lou Alberdene. Mrs. Hatcher was killed in an automobile accident in 1949. Dr. Hatcher's present wife, Caroline, and the three children survive him at 315 East 10th St.

Albie was a good doctor, who had prepared himself well for his chosen profession while in medical school, and in his postgraduate training. He was dedicated to the welfare of his patients and took good care of them. He was also full of vitality, fun, wit, and irrepressible high spirits, as we who were privileged to be associated with him at Medical School and later as Fellows at the Mayo Foundation well knew. These qualities were part of him whether in the classroom or laboratory, skiing at Suicide Six, getting together at his house in Rochester, or, later on, meeting him at a medical meeting. To many of us he was a wonderful little guy, and we will surely miss him.

1946

It is with great sadness that we report the untimely death of DOUGLASS PAUL TESCHNER on February 1 in Keene, N. H. Doug had been injured in an automobile accident the preceding Thursday in Swanzey, N. H., while on a business trip for the Henry L. Hanson Company of Worcester, Mass., tool manufacturers, where he had attained the position of executive vice president.

Doug spent his early years in the Greater Boston area and graduated from Newton High School. He married Mary Elizabeth Bernt in 1947. She survives him, with their three children, Douglass, David, and James.

While at Dartmouth, Doug was a member of Phi Delta Theta and the Dragon Senior Society. He was actively interested in Dartmouth affairs all of his life and served as an officer of the Dartmouth Club of Worcester. During the war he attained the rank of ensign in the Navy.

In Westboro, Mass. where he lived at 50 O'Neil Drive, Doug was occupied with many civic duties including the P.T.A., Red Cross, Boy Scouts, Rotary, and the Congregational Church. He was always interested and active in athletics and put his skill and knowledge to good use in his home community.

Doug and Betty made many friends while living in Hanover after the war, a period which saw a wide span of Dartmouth classes in attendance. Until last year Doug had been listed as a member of the Class of 1948, but at that time he expressed a desire to change his affiliation to the Class of 1946. We were pleased to welcome him to our ranks, and all join in extending our deepest sympathy to Betty and their three boys. The College has lost a loyal son - the Class of 1946 a true friend - his community a good citizen.
