1923

RALPH BROWN STALEY died suddenly last June. Word of his death in his sleep, of heart failure, came from his sister Catherine Staley Hamilton with whom he made his home in Atlanta, Ga. After the funeral his son Larry returned to live with his mother in California.

Art Everit supplied the above information and added "I do not know what the obituary records show, but I can say emphatically it should include, 'He loved Dartmouth.' "

In 1955 Ralph wrote that next to Walter and Martha Rahmanop, he and Hazel had the two youngest children of any classmate - two boys, Lawrence Eugene, three — and Ralph Darrell, two.

Ralph was with the Encyclopedia Americana for many years, with headquarters at Long Beach, Calif. He married Hazel Bennett in 1948, and she and their two sons survive him.

1924

There is the comment "No further information" in our 40-year book, and the official file has very little more to offer. But there is a story of consistency that is unusual today: CHARLES BROWN MCGAHAN was ending 35 years of teaching English and social studies as well as physical education and coaching at South Junior High School, Waltham, Mass.

Charles came to us from Dean Academy (Franklin, Mass.) and from Boston University. He withdrew in November 1922 to enter business. He was married and had one daughter and one granddaughter. His ending was dramatic: he died October 8, 1964 while eating dinner with his Wife at a local restaurant. We have no further details. The report of his death has been delayed until just recently

NELSON ORLEN NEWCOMB, who died March 5, came here from Culver Military Academy and briefly from Ohio State University. He was born on August 23, 1901 -and so missed his 65th birthday by only 5½ months.

He was born into the meat packing business, so to speak: his father had a business and his brother (Chester Gilbert Newcomb '12) shared the Cleveland Provision Company, between 1924 and 1956. He continued this general work when he served at various Air Force bases as purchasing agent. The record is not clear, but it would appear he was so engaged until about 1960, with his last-mentioned post being at Wright-Patterson until the final position lists him as "connected with Kelly Air Force Base" at the time of his death.

Ned married Francine Decker Fall, September 22, 1934; they had one daughter. Both survive Ned. Our classmate enjoyed life, being quite a sportsman. He played polo (and croquet); boasted two holes-in-one; both he and his wife enjoyed bowling. In 1939 he was president of the Dartmouth Club of Cleveland. And so we have lost a man of parts, and one I recall well from undergraduate days.

RUEL ELHANAN TUCKER was one more dedicated teacher at the secondary school level. Born November 23, 1901, he was another approaching his 65 th birthday. He came to us from Pawtucket High School; was a member of Gamma Delta Epsilon fraternity (as it was known then); his middle name was his father's given name.

Tuck's history is a succession of positions in teaching, after he earned his master's degree in education in 1931 at Harvard. Later he also studied at Teachers College (Columbia University) and much later at New York University. Between 1924 and 1936 he was at Concord (N. H.) High School; five years at Brockton, Mass., as Headmaster and then from 1941 to his death by a heart attack at Great Neck (Long Island, N. Y.) South Senior High School as Principal. One of his undergraduate distinctions was to join the Masonic Lodge Bezaleel #100, here in Hanover.

He married Nellie E. Gaffield, August 20, 1929. They had one daughter. He is also survived by a grandchild.

One nice part of being a teacher is that one can get away into the country one learns to love; for them it was a Shangri La in Campton, N. H. Retirement was just ahead, and he had hoped to travel and otherwise find a change of pace. Some of his other interests included being a Braille writer vicariously in his wife's work (it becomes a family project), and liking to cut wood at Campton. Both Nellie and Ruel were very active in community projects.

1926

For a number of years he had a diversified career in the Virgin Islands, as head of a venture which included spear-fishing, glass-bottom boat tours, and deep sea fishing. Later he founded a road-building concern, established a liquor business, and was news director of a television station and associate editor of the Virgin Islands Daily News.

Duke joined the editorial staff of the New York Times last July after having been chief editorial writer for the Knickerbocker News in Albany.

He is survived by his widow, the former Helen Woolsey, another son, and a daughter.

Many fine, heart-warming tributes were paid to him in the editorial pages of the newspaper he had served, and the Class will feel a distinct loss in the passing of one of its most versatile and able members. Our sympathy goes out to Mrs. Wales and family in this double tragedy which occurred so suddenly.

1954

LAURENCE CHESTER CHASE succumbed to cancer on April 6 in Sunnyvale, Calif. For the past five years he had been a technical editor for the United Technology Laboratory and was a member of the Society of Technical Writers and of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers.

At Dartmouth Larry was a member of the freshman cross-country team and the German Club. He majored in philosophy. After graduation Larry went through Officer Candidate School at Newport, R.1., and then served three years aboard the aircraft carrier USS Ranger. At the time of his death he was a lieutenant in the Naval Reserve.

Larry is survived by his widow Ada Pratt Chase, and their three children, who reside at 1415 Floyd Avenue, Sunnyvale, Calif., and by his mother, Mrs. Marion Chase, of Littleton, N. H., the widow of Laurence C. Chase '09. Burial was in the Golden Gate National Cemetery at San Bruno, Calif.

To the entire Chase family the Class extends its deepest sympathies.

1964

LT. WILLIAM BREWSTER NICKERSON, U.S. Navy Air Force, was killed April 22 when the fighter-bomber he was aboard crashed into the Gulf of Tonkin returning from a mission over Vietnam. Bruce, one of the prominent members of the Class of 1964, was the first Dartmouth man to die in the Vietnam conflict. The news saddened the entire college community and brought the tragedies of war poignantly home once more.

Bruce joined the Navy in July 1964 and received his commission October 16 after completing pre-flight training at Pensacola, Fla. He was assigned to an attack squadron at the U.S. Naval Air Station Oceana at Virginia Beach, Va., and was sent to South Vietnam last year. His duties were those of navigatorbombardier. His plane went down returning to the carrier USS Kitty Hawk.

Bruce Nickerson was an active participant in undergraduate life at Dartmouth. He was a member of the Freshman Council, the Interdormitory Council, Psi Upsilon, the Winter Carnival Council, and the Glee Club. He was chairman of Cutter Hall and the St. Thomas Episcopal Church Student Vestry. In senior year he was elected chairman of Palaeopitus and a member of the Executive Committee of the Class of 1964. He entered Dartmouth from Deerfield Academy where he was manager of the swimming team, newspaper editor, and participated in the orchestra and the band.

In college Bruce majored in philosophy and religion. After the Navy he planned graduate work in social service and counseling, possibly to go into the ministry. He was always interested in working with young people. He worked with the Winant Volunteers doing settlement work in England and served as a counselor at the Episcopalian Camp for Harlem in Cornwall, Conn.

Bruce is survived by his parents, E. Carleton Nickerson of Orleans, Mass., and Mrs. Charles H. Carr of Naples, Fla.; and by two sisters. His mother has established at Dartmouth a memorial fund to purchase books as prizes selected graduating seniors each year. Other contributions to this fund bearing Lieutenant Nickerson's name are being received at Crosby Hall, Hanover, N. H.
