He continued this same interest in South Florida, and was one of the committee- men responsible for the annual Class of '18 Pow Wow affairs, held each spring in Fort Lauderdale. A classmate commented thusly: "Although it did not appear on the surface, a deep religious sense was part of Danny's makeup, and I remember him telling me - when I contacted him about 10 years ago in a New York hospital, after a painful operation, that he owed everything to his Maker and not, as I suggested, to his strong constitution. Perhaps we should all feel this way."

In his senior year as an English major, illness forced him to leave college.

Although this same illness continued to batter him periodically during his life, Colin lived his life with enthusiasm, courage, and optimism. His two great interests were sailing and skiing and he excelled in both of these sports. In 1938 he founded the Niantic Bay Yacht Club in Northeastern Connecticut and became its first commodore. In 1939 he went to Lake Placid, N.Y., and operated the American Ski School under Otto Schneibs. He later joined the staff of the Northwood School for Boys in Lake Placid and served as public relations director, ski coach, and instructor in English and Mechanical Drawing.

During these years his health improved and in 1953 he married Wyn Shannon of Winnipeg, Manitoba, and within the next five years became the proud father of two daughters, Lisa and Robin. A serious recurrence of illness in 1959 forced him to give up skiing and teaching and the family returned to Niantic. He became Laboratory Director of the Pataganset Finishing Company and continued in this capacity until his death.

The sympathy of the Class is extended to his wife and daughters who survive Colin, as well as to his mother, sister, and brother.

We have received belated news of the death of WILLIAM LOTHMAN III on September 27, 1967 in Kirkwood, Missouri. Bill had been in good health before his very sudden passing.

He later joined Kremer-Hicks Co. in St. Louis, where he supervised purchasing and general administration for this mechanical contractor and pipe fabricator. He was corporate secretary.

In 1945 he married Mary Catherine Kremer, who survives with their children, Eric William, a junior at Duke University, Louis Richard, twins Mary Margaret and Kurt Kremer, and Carl Daniel, all in Kirkwood High School. The family home is 1304 Lindgate Drive, Kirkwood, Mo. Bill was buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, Oakland, Mo., on September 29, 1967.

Bin Lothman was one of a number of fine Dartmouth men of our time coming from the St. Louis area. Very handsome and manly, he had a natural, unspoiled manner that put him at ease with people and made lasting friends. He learned to love New England and particularly Dartmouth College, which put its indelible mark on him. He kept this great interest in Dartmouth all his life and had made plans to attend our 25th reunion next June. In his untimely passing he has left so much promise unfulfilled. We send our deepest sympathy to his wife and children.

1960

DENNIS LEONARD CHERLIN, who earned a Ph.D. in psychology after leaving Dartmouth and then devoted himself to the pioneering field of community mental health, died February 2 of injuries he received the day before in an auto accident near Danbury, Conn. This tragedy takes from the Class one of its most creative and energetic members.

In Hanover, Dennis was a staff member of The Dartmouth for four years. As managing editor in his senior year, he was responsible for the paper s editorial content. He also became interested in typography and devised two overhauls of the paper's front page which, if not unanimously hailed at the time, were evidence of his imagination and impatience with things as they are. He also edited Vox, a journal of opinion and the arts, and was a member of the William Jewett Tucker Foundation.

He had prepared for Dartmouth at Bayside (N.Y.) High School. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Cherlin, live at 6805 Utopia Blvdnb Flushing, N.Y.

While a philosophy major at Dartmouth Dennis became interested in psychology. He won a Reynolds Scholarship and received a master's degree in experimental psychology at Oriel College, Oxford. He entered Yale University in 1962 and received his Ph.D. last June.

At Yale he was a member of the Psycho-Educational Clinic of the Department of Psychology, a project designed to give children in deprived neighborhoods the benefits of advanced mental health techniques. He was coauthor of a recently-published book, Psychology in the Community Setting, which was highly praised by reviewers in the mental health field.

Dennis' colleagues at Yale have established a Dennis Cherlin Memorial Fund to advance the work in which he was interested.

The Class extends its deepest sympathy to Dennis' parents and fiancee. With them, we have suffered a great loss.
