REV. JAMES STANFORD CLAKK, a minister serving Congregational churches in New England for over thirty years, died October 17, 1968 after an illness of several months.

He was born in Brattleboro, Vt., November 22, 1876. He entered college after graduating from Brattleboro Academy in 1897 and pursued the classical course. In his senior year he was awarded the Grimes Prize for excellence in English composition. His years at Dartmouth saw Dr. Tucker's progressive policies beginning to take shape, and Dr. Tucker's call to the students to commit themselves to lives of service to their fellowmen found fertile soil in James' serious-minded character. He decided to devote his life to Christian service. Upon graduation in 1901 he entered Hartford Theological Seminary and graduated in 1904.

He served Congregational parishes in Hardwick, North Bennington, Brookfield, and Vergennes, Vt., Madison, Me., and Northboro, Mass. He retired at the end of his pastorate in Northboro in 1936. He returned to Brattleboro and lived on the Clark homestead in West Brattleboro and frequently supplied pulpits in the church there. For a time he operated a photograph studio in Brattleboro being assisted by his daughter, Winifred, who lived with him at 202 Western Ave., Brattleboro.

He was a loyal son of Dartmouth and supported the Alumni Fund as he was able. He is survived by two daughters, seven grandchildren, and two brothers, one of whom is Robert Clark '02.

CHARLES HENRY MERRILL passed away on September 5 in Orlando, Fla. Born in Cambridge, Me., on October 22, 1877, he prepared for Dartmouth at Phillips Exeter, and after graduation, went on to receive his M.D. at Harvard Medical' School. He also studied ophthalmology in Vienna and Budapest.

Charles practiced medicine in Lynn, Mass., before moving to Oskaloosa, lowa, where he was an eye, ear, nose and throat physician and surgeon. He was an ardent admirer of trotting horses and kept several of them while he was in lowa. In 1952 he retired to Kennebunkport, Me., where he was a familiar and beloved figure for many years.

He is survived by his widow, Mary K-, a daughter and son, and a sister. Funeral services were held at the South Congregational Church in Kennebunkport, where Mrs. Merrill makes her home.

1904

ALBERT BERNARD TERRIEN passed away on November 1, 1968 in Nashua, N. H. He was born in Littleton, N. H., February 28, 1880 and attended the public schools of Nashua, N. H. After receiving his Dartmouth degree he attended Harvard Law School, from which he received the LL.B. degree in 1908. He opened an office in Nashua for the practice of law in 1908 and continued active in that profession for nearly 60 years. The Associated Press dispatch announcing his death referred to him as the dean of Nashua lawyers. Surviving him are his widow, Des Neiges (Dufour) Terrien, at 33 Bowers Street, Nashua, three sons, a daughter, and one sister.

Albert was a very loyal member of the Class and attended practically every regular reunion as well as many Dartmouth dinners and meetings of special interest. He always held an enthusiastic interest in athletics and was a successful competitor for Dartmouth on the track team. Unfortunately, he was spiked in 1903, which brought an end to his track activities. He was one of the founders of the Nashua Country Club and as long as he was able he remained an enthusiastic golfer. Albert counted all the members of the Class among his friends and as a citizen active in many civic affairs he formed a wide circle of friends.

1909

WILLIAM INGRAHAM FEARING of Newton Centre, Mass., died on November 7, 1968 following a long period of declining health.

Ingie was bora in Newton on June 22, 1888 and entered Dartmouth from Newton High School. He played on the freshman football team and the sophomore baseball team. He was class treasurer his junior year. He also acted as an assistant class agent for the Alumni Fund in later years. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon and Casque and Gauntlet, and belonged to the Winslow-Lewis Lodge of Masons in Boston.

After graduation, Ingie joined his father's firm, Fearing Whiton & Co., Inc., cotton cloth converters and was its assistant treasurer when World War I began. He served two years as a captain in infantry. After the war he was as sociated with A. S. Hinds Co. as export manager, Car Owners Mutual Insurance Co. as assistant treasurer, Lawrence Dye Works Co. as sales manager, Hartley B. Gardner, Inc. as sales manager, Donald J. Moore, exporter. He became chief of the Export Division, War Assets Administration, Region 1, Boston, and a business analyst for the U. S. Department of Commerce where he served until his retirement.

He was honored by having a permanent bowling trophy named for him - for annual team winner.

1910 will miss the active and liberal interest which Ed always showed in College and Class activities.

1913

With sadness we learn of the death of another classmate, DAVID OSCAR LOGAN, of 7 Harriet St., Norwalk, Conn. He died November 13 in Norwalk Hospital a few days after being admitted.

GEORGE ARTHUR BOGGS of Wolfville, Nova Scotia, died November 8 at Victoria General Hospital after a brief illness. Born in Chicago, Ill., he is survived by his wife the former Helen Starr, whose address is Box 178, Wolfville; two daughters, a son, and 14 grandchildren.

Highlights of a career characterized by his interest and active support of many social and civic interests include military service in World War I in France as a captain of Motor Trans- port in the 77th division and in World War II as a major in the Second Battalion, West Scotia Regiment of Canadian Infantry.

He served in the Nova Scotia legislature from 1953 to 1956 and as Director of Civil Defense for Nova Scotia from 1957 to 1960. He was a member and past president of the Nova Scoia Fruit Growers Association and past zone com- mander of the Royal Canadian Legion.

1915

WALTER F. WANGEE, President of Walter Wanger Pictures, Inc.. died in his sleep November 18, 1968 at his New York apartment, 444 East 57 th Street.

Walt was born July 11, 1894, the son of Sigmund and Stella Feuchtwanger, in San Francisco. He attended Cascarilla Preparatory School and graduated from Dartmouth in 1915 with an A.B. degree. He was a member of Alpha Delta Phi fraternity and Lambs Society.

He was an outstanding figure in the film industry and was a member of The Players, The Coffee House, Dartmouth Club, and The Council on Foreign Relations. His honors included: War Agencies of the U. S. Government, Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, Screen Producers Guild, and a doctorate of arts from the University of Tulsa. Among the well-known pictures he produced were "Stagecoach," "I Want to Live," and "Cleopatra." His deep affection for Dartmouth was defined in his pro- duction of the movie "Winter Carnival." His founding of a movie script library at Dartmouth was one of the first established by a private institution.

During World War I, he joined the Army Signal Corps, and it was while he was on duty in Rome that he first became interested in movies as a means of propaganda and education. He was a strong supporter of motion pictures as an international medium to promote better understanding throughout the world. In 1966 he was awarded the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic for his "friendship and cooperation with the Italian government in all phases of the motion picture industry."

Many famous film stars such as Rudolph Valentino, Greta Garbo, and Ingrid Bergman at- tained their greatest triumphs in Wanger productions. A developer of many techniques now considered standard in the movie industry, he produced the first full-color film shot on location, "Trail of the Lonesome Pine" (1936). He was the first producer to use political themes in such motion pictures as "Gabriel over the White House," "The President Vanishes," and "Washington Merry-Go-Round." He also pioneered in the first screen treatment of psychiatry — "Private Worlds" (1935).

Walt is survived by his divorced wife, Joan Bennett; a daughter Stephanie, wife of Frederick E. Guest II; and a daughter, Miss Shelley Wanger, a student at Sarah Lawrence College.

Funeral services were held November 21 at Frank E. Campbell's, Madison Avenue at 81st Street, New York City.

1916

JOSEPH MERRIAM CHENEY died of heart failure at the Hinsdale Hospital in Hinsdale, Ill., on July 21, 1968.

The son of Clinton M. Cheney '90, Joe was born in Spokane, Wash., on April 5, 1894, but it was from Hyde Park High in Chicago that he came to Dartmouth. There he became a popular member of DKE. After graduation he attended Kent College of Law until he entered the Army and served as a 2nd lieutenant in the field artillery during World War I. On.returning home he was associated with Ditto, Inc. as vice president for sales until the early '30s. Thereafter, until his retirement, he was a management consultant to various Chicago and New York industrial firms. During World War II he served as a civilian consultant in Washington, D. C.

Few of us were privileged to see Joe in later life so we remember him, as George Smith does, as "the small distinguished figure, with smooth complexion and the twinkling eye, that he was in 1916." We remember him too for the musical and dancing talent that earned him a place all four years in the College Orchestra, in the Dramatic Association, and in our first three Prom Shows: "The Golden Isle," "Ta-Ta-Tango," and "The Toy Kingdom." Often after orchestra rehearsals, Bruce Bundy with his bass cello and George Smith and Joe with their violins would repair to one of their rooms and make music until the early hours. "Joe," writes George, "was better than I at faking harmony, so I usually carried the air and he did the embroidering. What fun we had!" Those were happy days.

Joe was married on April 12, 1920 to Beulah Allen. She survives him, living at Chelsea House, 920 Wilson Avenue, Chicago; as do two sons and one daughter. To all the family, the Class extends deepest sympathy.

DENNIS D. LINEHAN suffered a stroke at his home on September 26 and died at Leonard Hospital in Troy, N. Y., on October 8 without regaining consciousness. Funeral services were held at St. Paul's Church, Mechanicville, and burial was in St. Paul's Cemetery.

"DD," as we knew him, came to Dartmouth from Hudson Falls High School and was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon. Of eight chemistry majors in our Class, only he and one other stayed with the profession. It was characteristic of DD that, having once made a decision, he held to it. His fine tenor voice contributed greatly to the College Choir through all our four years. He continued singing in church choirs for the rest of his life.

In World War I he served overseas 1917-19 as a first lieutenant of infantry. Then, after several brief connections, he joined the technical staff of the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company at its Mechanicville plant. He continued with this company for 35 years, finally as superintendent of its sulphite mill, and retired in 1958.

Community organizations found a willing worker in DD. He was a past president of both Mechanicville's Rotary chapter and Chamber of Commerce. He was active in the Army Reserve and the J. L. Short Hook and Ladder Fire Company. He was a member of the Holy Name Society and of St. Paul's Church, and sang in its choir.

DD is survived by his wife, Irene (Russom), who remains at the family home at 807 Broadway, Mechanicville, N. Y.; by a son and two daughters; also by two sisters, one brother, seven granddaughters and several nieces and nephews. The Class extends deepest sympathy to them all.

1917

BOWEN TOKREY, known by his friends as "Bones," died in May 1968. Bones was born on February 6, 1895 at Bath, Me., and attended Morse High School there. Upon graduation from Dartmouth in 1917 he became assistant to the director of North Dakota Agricultural College. After that he became purchasing agent for the J. D. Grant Company. In 1922 he came back East and went to work in New York City for Torrey Roller Bushing Works of Bath, Me. He became president of the company in 1935.

In college Bones became a member of Beta Theta Pi and also of Cercle Francais. He was married to Kathryn Helene Largan at Brooklyn, N. Y. on May 27, 1927, and she survives him at 26108 Crestwood PL, Hemet, Calif.

CHARLES WOLFF 3RD died in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on June 15, 1968 after a long illness.

Charlie had been connected with the textile industry all his business career and at the time of his death was general manager of Compania Rayonera. He was a member of Kappa Sigma fraternity, a retired Army colonel who had won a Bronze Star, and was a member of All Saints Episcopal Church.

Charlie is survived by his second wife, Ethel (FitzPatrick), a son, and four daughters. There are 11 grandchildren and a brother, Edgar.

1918

"The Reverend CLINTON WENTWORTH CARVELL, Minister Emeritus, Minister 1924-67. In faith an example, in good works a leader, in wisdom an inspiration, he served the people of this church and of this community with an uncommon devotion, and brought to all of us a standard of greatness." So read the inscription above the order of service at Clint's funeral in the Trinitarian Congregational Church of North Andover, Mass., on November 6.

Clint died in Phillips House, Mass. General Hospital in Boston on November 2, following an August operation. The service was the occasion of an unusual gathering of the great and small. It followed a vigil of 31 men of the community. It gathered twenty-one of the clergy from Greater Lawrence, including several from Catholic churches. Delegations from 32 organizations were present, including those from the Guild for the Blind, the Lions, the Boy Scouts, the Governor's Council, the State Senate, Board of Trade, School Committee and Sisters of St. Michael's Parish. The Town Hall was draped, and flags were flown at half-mast.

Born in Merrimac, Mass., in 1895, Clint was graduated from Somerville High School in 1914, where he was a track star. In college he was a hard-working member of the DCA, a resident member of the Cosmos Club, winner of the Barge Gold Medal for oratory, and class orator at the Old Pine. As president of the DCA his senior year, he was a member of Paleopitus. During his junior and senior years he was pastor of the Congregational Church in Wilder, Vt. In 1918, when the two Wilder churches merged, he became the pastor of the yoked parish of Fairlee and No. Thetford, Vt. In 1921 he was called to be the student pastor of the Federated Church in Newmarket, N. H., while studying at Boston University and Andover-Harvard Schools of Theology. There he was ordained to permanent service in the ministry, and there became a Mason.

In 1924 he entered upon his 43-year ministry in No. Andover. Very rapidly he became a "leader in the civic and religious life" of this suburban community. He became president of the Greater Lawrence Council of Churches and a prime figure in ecumenical circles beyond the Council. He was a popular master of ceremonies at banquets and dinners, helped to found the Dartmouth Club of Greater Lawrence, was past-president of the Greater Lawrence Red Cross and past district governor of Lions International, on the board of the Greater Lawrence Child Guidance Center, recipient of the Silver Beaver Award from the Boy Scout Council, chairman of a local disaster relief committee, an organizer of the Carvell Chapter of the Protestant Guild for the Blind, receiving the Man of the Year award from the Massachusetts Guild in 1965; a director of the Historical Society, a member of the Improvement Society and of the Eclectic Club, and a member and later Chairman of the North Andover School Committee, 1935-44. All this was his way of spelling out the implications of his preaching and the suggestions of a six to eight page church paper which he published weekly. Retirement for Clint was to be no chapter distinct from his life of service.

He leaves his wife, Marjorie (Glennie), who resides at 27 Church St. in North Andover, a daughter, three sons, a step-daughter and a step-son, a brother and sister and sixteen grandchildren. The Class is reminded of the ringing faith in Clint's invocation at the Memorial Service of our Golden Round-up in June, and extends its deepest sympathy to all his family in their present loss.

After graduating from Dartmouth he went to University of Chicago Law School, and upon getting his LL.B. in 1923 immediately went into the practice of law, specializing in banking, trust and corporate law. At the time of his death he was senior partner in the law firm of Mayer, Friedlich, Spiess, Tierney, Brown and Piatt, and was general counsel for Michael Reese Hospital.

ROBERT OTEY YANCET WARREN OF 1403 Delaware Ave., Wilmington, Del., died November 16, 1968, from a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. Bob was born in Warm Springs, Mont., June 14, 1902 and got his secondary school education at Mercersburg Academy. He was a member of Beta Theta Pi. He graduated with an M.D. from Johns Hopkins University in 1929 and pursued the practice of pediatrics.

Little is known of his activities since 1941 when he represented the Dalzen Tool & Mfg. Co. He married Marion E. Fox of Detroit in March of 1930 and had one son.

1926

The College and the Class of 1926 have lost one of their most loyal friends and supporters by the death of HERBERT FRANKLIN DARLING at his home, 790 Le Brun Road in Eggertsville, N. Y., on November 5, 1968 after a short illness.

After graduating in June of 1926, Herb continued at Thayer School and received his M.Sc. degree in 1927. He commenced his career in the construction industry as an inspector with a Toledo consulting engineering firm.

This experience told him he wanted to be a contractor rather than a consulting engineer, so he joined Walter S. Rae, general contractors, as a superintendent, from 1930 to 1935. He then went into partnership with Mike Connelly of Connelly Brothers in Cincinnati, Ohio, only to have Mr. Connelly pass away very shortly thereafter. The firm of Herbert F. Darling, Engineering Contractors, was founded at that time. In 1957 Herb went into partnership with his son, Herb Jr. '55, who will continue on.

In addition to his own active business interests, he took a prominent part in his professional associations at the national, state and local levels. He was a past president of the Construction Industry Employers Association, and of the New York State Chapter, Associated General Contractors of America (Heavy and Highway Division). He also was past president of the Buffalo Chapter, American Society of Civil Engineers, as well as a member of the Society of American Military Engineers, the Professional Engineering Society of Buffalo, and the Advisory Committee of the New York State Labor Department for Construction Safety. In 1964 he was named "Engineer of the Year" by the Erie County Society of Engineers.

When Herb established his company in the Buffalo area, he subsequently entered into the civic life of the community with his customary vigor. The Buffalo Evening News named him an outstanding citizen in 1964 and his citation read, "His career bears the hallmark of good citizenship."

He had been president of the Buffalo and Erie County YMCA and received' that organization's Gold Key Award in 1963 for leadership. He also was a past president of the Buffalo Society for Natural Sciences, a trustee of the Cerebral Palsy Association, and past chairman of the Cancer Crusade. He was a member of the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy and on the board of managers of the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society. Many will remember the exhibition in Hopkins Center in 1966 of his choicest pieces of Antique New York State Silverware.

He was a director of the Bank of Buffalo and former trustee of Buffalo Seminary and Westminster Presbyterian Church, as well as a past director of the Buffalo Club and a past president of the Country Club of Buffalo.

Another of his interests was conservation, and he donated 1,425 acres of his Zoar Valley properties to the New York State Conservation Department for a wildlife refuge, as well as land on the Cataraugus Creek to the William Alexander Preserve for Nature Sanctuary. Of this gift he once remarked, "Since I was a youngster I have hunted and fished. It was a natural. But it is more natural to want to protect the nature that you love."

With all of these responsibilities, he still found time to serve as a trustee of his daughter's Colby Junior College.

In all of Herb's busy life and varied interests, his first and foremost dedication was to his family, with Dartmouth and his Class running a close second. His generous benefactions to the College and Class projects were many.

Herb was born in White Plains, N. Y., May 1, 1904 and entered Dartmouth from that city's high school where he had an impressive scholastic and athletic record along with being, president of his class both junior and senior years. His leadership qualities were certainly evident even as an undergraduate. He was a member of Phi Delta Theta, Green Key and Sphinx, and manager of basketball. He was on the freshman football and track teams and the varsity wrestling team.

Among his alumni services, he was president of the Toledo Alumni Association; president of the Western New York Alumni Association; Class Treasurer; secretary, Dartmouth Society of Engineers; member of the Board of Overseers of Thayer School since 1956, and member of the Alumni Council (1963-66). The Alumni Council had recently selected Herb to receive their highest honor, the Dartmouth Alumni Award, at the January 1969 meeting. This award, to be accepted by his family, is in recognition not only of his many accomplishments

in the world of business and civic affairs, but for his devotion and services to the College. Fortunately, he received word of the award before his death, and considered it to be the most treasured recognition in his career.

Herb was married in 1927 to Bertha Wilson, known affectionately as Bert to his Dartmouth friends and classmates. She survives him, with Herb Jr. '55 and daughter Virginia, wife of Kevin Sullivan '54. Herb's many friends of Dartmouth College and his Class of 1926 extend deepest sympathies to his family.

ELWOOD CHARLES STANLEY of 419 White Plains Road, Trumbull, Conn., died in Bridgeport Hospital on October 31, 1968. A native of Chicago, Bud came to Hanover from Bridgeport and returned to that area where he lived for 63 years. He remained in Hanover only two years and while in college became a member of Sigma Chi.

He was at the time of his death president of the Bridgeport Paper Box Firm that bears his name - the Stanley Compressed Paper Box Corporation. He was past chairman of the Trumbull Center Fire district, secretary of Trumbull Parks Commission, a member of Public Health Council to the State of Connecticut Health Department, chairman of the Council for Tuberculosis Control, and Hospital Care and Rehabilita- tion for the State of Connecticut. He was a member of the Ashlar Masonic Lodge 134, AF and AM of Bridgeport, Lafayette Consistory, Hamilton Commandery Night Templars, Past Potentate of Pyramid Temple Shrine, secretary of the Twilight Club and Royal Order of Jesters.

Survivors are his wife, Joyce (Corbit), a son, two daughters, and eight grandchildren to whom the deep sympathy of the Class is sincerely extended.

1927

LESLIE BURTON BATTIN died November 17, 1968 after a prolonged period of poor health. Les was born in Naperville, Ill., in 1902 and was somewhat older than his classmates when he entered Dartmouth. Those of us who knew him well in recent years will be somewhat surprised to recall that he entered as a football player. He was a Sigma Chi.

In 1925 he left college to marry Emily Kimball from Wheaton. After a short career with a small-town newspaper he joined the Flintkote Company in their advertising department, subsequently becoming their advertising manager in 1931. In 1936 Les joined Mason Neilan Co. in Norwood, Mass., a manufacturer of regulating systems - subsequently a division of Worthington Pump Co. Les served happily as their advertising manager until his retirement in May 1967.

It wasn't until '27's 25th reunion in 1952 that Les became active in class affairs. He took over the editorship of the Class Newsletter in 1953 and did an outstanding job until health forced him to relinquish the post in 1962. During this period he also served on the reunion committee and as an assistant class agent. He was a regular attendee of fall reunions starting with the earliest at the Jolly Roger, and also joined class dinners in New York.

Les' first marriage to Emily Kimball ended in divorce and he married Marion Erb in 1951. By his first marriage he had two daughters who survive him. He is also survived by a sister.

A memorial service was held December 5 at Barton Chapel, Bethany Congregational Church, Foxboro, Mass. Representing the Class were Larry and Ora Scammon, Bob and Peg Williamson, and Shorty Oliver.

Howie Mullin, '27 president, writes, "If love for and loyalty to. Dartmouth qualifies a man for high station, Les is near the top. He gave of himself so unselfishly, and of his substance improvidently, I suspect. Quiet and unassuming, his presence, nonetheless, was always felt and his counsel respected whenever Dartmouth men met. He will be missed."

1928

ARTHUR ROBERT GOW, former president of the Seamless Rubber Co. of New Haven, died October 23 of a heart attack in Branford, Conn., while driving into his doctor's parking lot where he was going for a checkup.

Art was born in Boston and came to Dartmouth from the Roxbury Latin School. He Played center on the 1927 Dartmouth eleven which lost only to Yale, was on the track team, and was a member of Casque & Gauntlet and Phi Kappa Psi.

He started working as a trainee with the Seamless Rubber Co. in 1929 and in 1941 was named vice president and factory manager. Appointed executive vice president in 1950, he became president in 1953 and chairman in 1964. He was a director of the Union & New Haven Trust Co. and was active in New Haven business and civic affairs.

1935

Dartmouth lost a loyal son and '35 classmates a dear friend with the death of JAMES MAITLAND WEST on November 2, 1968 in Lexington, Mass. Jim had suffered for years from a mysterious, and still undiagnosed, neurological ailment which had robbed him of his equilibrium and mobility. Death occurred suddenly, within hours after a fall in his home, at 6 Angier Rd.

Beside his family, Jim had three great loves Dartmouth, golf, and the Navy. Ironically, his mysterious ailment gradually forced him to abandon participation in all three. For the past two years he had been confined to a wheel chair. In April of 1967 his illness forced his retirement from M.I.T., where he had served for several years as assistant director of the National Magnet Laboratory.

Jim was born in Harrow, England, the son of a noted golf professional. From his dad he developed an abiding love of the game, and still was playing to a 4-handicap until illness began affecting his game.

He entered Dartmouth from Peekskill Military Academy. As an undergraduate Jim starred in freshman and varsity lacrosse, majored in Political Science, and became a member of Sigma Nu.

Jim was a resident of Lexington, Mass., for 21 years and found an outlet in a wide range of civic affairs. He was elected for several terms as a member of the Lexington Town Meeting. He served in the Lexington Historical Society, was active on the Board of Health, his Masonic lodge, the High School Building Committee, the Ward Room Club, and the Lexington Country Club, where he was an honorary life member.

Until his illness handicapped him, Jim had been active in alumni affairs. He and George Goodman were moving spirits in the drive to raise funds for the Tom Dent Cabin in the Dartmouth woodlands, as a memorial to their old soccer and lacrosse coach.

Jim is survived by his widow, a son and a daughter. Classmates who wish may send memorials to the James M. West Fund for Neuro- logical Research at the Masschusetts General Hospital, in Boston.

KARL BURWELL ULLMAN JR. was stricken suddenly with a heart attack and died September 5, in Northampton, Mass., where he had resided since his undergraduate days. He was president of Butler & Ullman, one of New England's leading wholesale and retail florists, and lived at 85 Woodlawn Avenue.

Karl had spent only two years at Hanover, leaving at the end of sophomore year to join his father in the floral business. Their greenhouses, located on the Amherst road near Northampton, were a familiar landmark to Dartmouth men. Karl assumed the presidency of the firm upon his father's death, and was noted for his prize-winning gardenias and camellias.

A native of New York City, Karl spent most of his life in Northampton. He attended Northampton High School, Tilton, and Phillips Exeter Academy prior to entering Dartmouth. It was at Exeter that Karl first met Bob Richter, who was to become his roommate at Hanover. Bob credits Karl with being a strong influence upon his own decision to enter Dartmouth,

He married Virginia Bowry of Sudbury, Mass., in the spring of 1941, and they had four children - Scott, Karl Ill, Cynthia, and Joan. The Class extends its deep sympathy to Ginny and her children, in their hour of sorrow.

1940

The sudden death on November 10 of ROBERT HAMILTON DINGWALL at his home has left a large void in our class ranks. Throughout the years Bob has been one of our more active alumni, loyal to College and Class and interested in the well-being of both. His was a family affair as well, for an uncle, two brothers, and a cousin sustained this affiliation along with him.

Bob joined our ranks after three years at Choate and quickly became known for his friendly attitude and athletic prowess. He played football and hockey, the latter more than passably well, and sang in the freshman glee club. An English major, he also was a brother of Sigma Chi and Dragon.

Following Navy duty from which he was discharged a lieutenant in March 1946, he returned to the advertising world in charge of new business activities for the Charles W. Hoyt Co. He became a vice president in 1956 and a director in 1959.

In 1954 he and Billie Christine Boothe were married. She and their two sons survive him at 20 Lincoln Ave., Port Chester, N. Y. He is also survived by his brothers James A., III '36, and John G. '44. The deep sympathy of the Class goes out to them.

1946

RICHARD STANLEY SEARLES was killed in the crash of a Northeast Airlines plane on Moose Mt., near the Lebanon, N. H., airport on October 25.

A lifelong resident of Newport, Vt., he graduated from high school there before coming to Dartmouth. He left school after a year, to serve in the U. S. Naval Reserve, as an ensign. He was a fighter pilot and flight instructor, and served in the Pacific theatre before receiving his discharge and returning to Dartmouth. He left school again to join his father in the Searles Jewelry Store. In 1963 this business was sold and he had recently been associated with the B. F. Moore Manufacturing Plant in Newport.

On June 14, 1947 he married Gloria Kullman who survives him at 396 Sias Ave., Newport, Vt. He is also survived by two sons and a daughter and his brother Robert N. '42, as well as his parents and a sister. The Class extends its sympathy to them.

1952

On April 14, 1968 JOHN FRANKLIN WATSON and his wife, Rita (Goodrich) were killed in an auto accident at Goshen, N. Y. The family was on the way to have Easter dinner with his parents in Nutley, N. J., after which he was to have presented a paper at the AMA convention in Atlantic City, the following week.

"Red" came to Dartmouth after graduating from Staunton Military Academy. He was an outstanding student, a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon and Sphinx. He was also a graduate of Johns Hopkins Medical School and served his internship at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital where he became Chief Resident in 1958. He served with NASA in the Air Force at Wright Patterson Field, Ohio, and following his discharge did medical research at the National Institutes of Health. Red then moved to the University of Vermont as Assistant Professor and two years later became an Assistant Professor at Buffalo, shortly before his death.

Red is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Watson of Nutley, N. J., and two brothers. Rita, who was a graduate of Mary Hitchcock School of Nursing, is survived by her mother, Mrs. Doris Goodrich of Wilder, Vt. Their three children who survived the accident are now living with Red's brother in Nutley.

It is impossible for us to adequately express our sympathy to their parents and relatives. The loss of Red and Rita to the College, the medical profession, and those who knew and loved them has been immeasurable. We have indeed lost two dear friends.

1965

On November 11, 1968 Captain PHILLIP DENNIS BARGER, USMC, was killed in Vietnam when the plane he was piloting crashed and burned after being hit by enemy fire.

Denny entered Dartmouth in the fall of 1961 from Hillcrest High School in Dallas, Texas. At Hillcrest he had been a debater and an actor, as well as a member of the National Honor Society and co-captain of the cross-country team. In Hanover he maintained his interest in track and ran freshman cross country and then was a varsity harrier for three years. He was a philosophy major, and won a prize for excellence in Government in 1963.

In March of 1966 Denny joined the Marine Corps. He took his flight training in Pensacola, Fla., and then was stationed in Beeville, Texas, and Beaufort, S. C., before going to Vietnam.

Denny Barger is the first '65 to give his life to the American war effort in Southeast Asia. The Class is extremely proud of the contributions of many of its members in Vietnam, but this pride is quickly changed to grief at the death of one of these courageous men. Our heartfelt condolences go to Denny's parents and sisters. (Denny's mother, Mrs. Robert Lancaster, lives at 7323 Fenton Drive in Dallas, Texas.) He will be remembered along with his deceased classmates at a memorial service to be held at the class reunion in June. A memorial fund has been established at the request of his family. Donations may be mailed to Dartmouth College, Office of Development.
