He was a nephew of the late William N. Cohen '79, a justice of the New York State Supreme Court, for whom Cohen Hall at Dartmouth is named, and whose million-dollar bequest made possible the present Cohen Scholarship Fund.

1930
A classmate whose life was marked by great courage during a crippling illness, DAVID RUBIN, passed away in Wyckoff Heights Hospital, Forest Hills, N. Y. on April 6. He had suffered from advancing multiple sclerosis for a score of years and this disease finally took his life.
Dave, a native of Cambridge and a bit older than most of his classmates, came to Dartmouth from Lincoln Preparatory School with a fine record, and is remembered for his energy and his cheery personality. He majored in Sociology and went on to earn an A.M. at Harvard in 1931. He had also attended the New York School of Social Work. His entire career was spent in that field, for the most part in the New York City Department of Welfare.
Dave was married in September 1934 to the former Rose Lipitz, who survives him, together with their only child, now Mrs. Ann Judith Oppman, and one grandchild. Mrs. Rubin resides at 148-48 88th Ave., Jamaica, L. 1., N. Y.
About a year ago mention was made in the class news column of those classmates who were incapacitated and unable to carry on former normal workaday activities. In connection with this note, Mrs.* Rubin proudly wrote "The implication is that these men have had to give up work. In my husband's case, this is not so. David is incapacitated - true. He is confined to a wheelchair and hasn't stood on his feet, even for seconds, in almost ten years. He cannot write because his paralysis does not permit him to. But, with the aid of an attendant, he does get to work and works from 9 to 5 every day in a supervisory capacity in the Family Court of the City of New York."
To the story of his courage and determination, no further words can be added. In the death of a member who has served society so faithfully, the Class has indeed suffered a great loss.
1931
The death of EDWARD EUGENE MURRAY was announced in the New York "Times," issue of April 11. Apparently he died of a heart attack at his home on Pond Hollow Farm in Westbury, Long Island.
Ed was the son of the late Senator Murray from Montana and the 1931 "Aegis" lists Butte as his hometown. There is very little information regarding him in either the College or Class records.
To his widow Daphne and five children the Class extends its sincere sympathy.
1934
The Class of 1934 lost one of its most distinguished members on April 12 when STEPHEN A. BRIGGS, Chairman of the Board of Outboard Marine International, S.A., died suddenly of a heart attack in Nassau, the Bahamas. Steve appeared to have recovered fully from a seizure which occurred during a South American business trip when he suffered the fatal attack.
Steve was born in Milwaukee on December 20, 1911. He entered Dartmouth from Lawrenceville, was a member of Phi Sigma Kappa, and majored in French. After graduation he continued his studies at the Sorbonne in Paris.
In 1935 he joined Outboard Marine and Manufacturing Co., forerunner of the Outboard Marine Corporation of Waukegan, Ill. The following year he went abroad to expand his firm's world marketing organization. His travels took him to Europe, South and Central America and the Caribbean area. He became vice president in charge of export of the corporation in 1949. In 1957 when Outboard Marine International was formed with headquarters in Nassau, Steve was named its president, then chairman of the board in 1963. Steve also was vice president and a board member of the parent firm, Outboard Marine Corporation. He was an active member of Friends of the Bahamas.
Funeral services and interment were in Naples, Fla.
Besides his parents, Steve leaves a son by his first marriage, who is manager of International Liaison for Outboard Marine International; his second wife, Phyllis Joan Mandery Briggs; two brothers and a sister. To them, the Class of 1934 extends its profound sympathy.
The College received word of the death on February 27 of LLOYD CLAIR SHAFER. There were no details.
Clair entered Dartmouth with the Class of 1934 from Westport Senior High School in Kansas City, Mo., and left after his freshman year. He was born in Kansas City on July 23, 1913.
Latest available records show that he was an accountant with a dairy firm in Evansville, Ind., and resided at 1801 East Chandler, Evansville.
1936
On March 16 H. SHAW CARTER was on his way home to Saddle River, N. J., aboard the ferry from lower Manhattan. During the crossing he was stricken with a heart attack and collapsed. He died in St. Mary's Hospital shortly after being taken off the boat at Hoboken.
Shaw had been commuting (since 1958) to New York City where he was employed by American Telephone and Telegraph Co. He had spent his entire business career with the Bell System. In 1936 he joined the New Jersey Bell Telephone Co. and served in many capacities before entering the military service in 1941.
Shaw served for five years in the U. S. Army in the Southwest Pacific, including Hawaii, Saipan, Okinawa, and New Hebrides. He was commanding officer of the 27th Cavalry Reconnaissance Troop of the 27th Infantry Division. While stationed on Oahu, Shaw met Niki Austin and they were married in Honolulu on March 18, 1944. During the Pacific campaign he was wounded twice and received the Purple Heart. He was honorably discharged in 1945 with the rank of major and returned to his position with New Jersey Bell System.
Shaw was born in Swampscott, Mass., and prepared for Dartmouth at Pelham (N. Y.) High School and Governor Dummer Academy. At Dartmouth he majored in sociology and was a member of Alpha Delta Phi and Sphynx.
The sympathy of the Class is extended to Mrs. Carter and their daughter, Codie Lee, a sophomore at Saddle River Country Day School. We hope they find some consolation in the high regard for Shaw by his friends and by his former Army troop. The newsletter editor of the latter organization delivered this tribute at the memorial service conducted in Ridgewood, N. J., on March 18: "He left a wonderful legacy of quiet courage and goodwill which will sustain those who knew him for as long as they live." Interment was in the family plot at Belfast, Me.
1942
PETER HOES passed away unexpectedly on March 12, having been stricken with a cerebral hemorrhage at his home in San Anselmo, Calif.
Pete was born in Glen Ridge, N. J., and entered Dartmouth from high School in Montclair, N. J. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and won the Thayer Mathematics Prize. After graduation he attended the Harvard Business School under a Navy program and later, while serving aboard a destroyer, participated in several landings in the South Pacific. After the war he joined Trans-Arabian Pipe Line Co. and spent some time in Beirut, Lebanon. His fondness for California prompted him to join Crown-Zellerbach Corporation in San Francisco. He later became associated with Friden, Inc. His interests appear to have been in systems analysis, computers, and allied fields. There is no record of Pete's activities in recent years. He remained a life-long bachelor.
The Class mourns the passing of this capable son of Dartmouth, and extends its sympathy to Pete's sister, Mrs. Allen H. Summerville Jr., who made available much of the foregoing information.
1947
We were very sorry to hear of the death of RICHARD BAKER LASH on February 10.
From college through 1960 Dick was a partner in the Lash Milling Company and then he became a claims adjuster for the Employers Mutuals of Wausau Insurance Company. During the time Dick was with the Lash Milling Company he also served as assistant postmaster in Farmersburg, Ind., and was a high school teacher for two years. He received his M.A. from Indiana State Teachers College.
Dick belonged to Phi Delta Kappa (national honorary men's educational fraternity), Sigma Nu, the Lions Club, and the American Legion. He was also active in politics, being a delegate to the Republican State Convention of 1954 and clerk in the House of Representatives of Indiana from 1952 to 1955. He was a past deacon and past trustee of his church, having been the Sunday school superintendent at one time.
Dick was president of the Curry Township School Building Corporation and trustee of the Town Board of Farmersburg, Ind., as well as a vice president of the Community Club.
Our sympathy goes out to Dick's widow, Lois, and their three children, who live at 1605 Westlane Road, Indianapolis, Ind.
1952
It is with deep sorrow that the Class of 1952 has learned of the death of classmate, Dr. WILLIAM PETER RILLING who passed away on March 11 in Tillamook, Ore.
Pete was born on August 31, 1930 in Morgantown, W. Va., where his father was at that time completing the final phases of his own medical training. The family then moved to Findlay, Ohio, where Pete spent the rest of his childhood, graduating from Findlay Senior High School as valedictorian of his class.

GEORGE FREDERICK MATHEWS was killed in an automobile accident in Fremont, Neb., on February 21.
Fred was raised in Oak Park, Ill., and attended Oak Park and River Forest High School. At Dartmouth he majored in math and was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. At the end of his sophomore year Fred was married to his high school sweetheart, Dorie McCain. Many will remember them for their very tasty dormitory sandwich service.
Following graduation Fred worked for the Royal McBee Corp. in Chicago and Cleveland. Last June he and his family moved to White Bear Lake, Minn., where he was working on a new computer programming idea for Hoffman Electric Company.
Fred was always drawn by the excitement of new challenges whether they were in his business or personal life. He participated enthusiastically in all forms of athletics and in recent years had concentrated on golf, sailing, and skiing. Fred's refreshing sense of humor and natural manner, together with his genuine interest in others brought him many close friendships.
Fred is survived by Dorie and his three sons, who are temporarily residing at 1201 N. East, Oak Park. He also leaves his parents and three brothers. To them the Class of 1960 extends its most profound and deepest sympathy.
