Randall was born in Whitman on May 18, 1883, a direct descendant of Francis Cook, immigrant on the Mayflower in 1620. He spent his entire life in Whitman, all but the first six months of it in the fine old house where he resided at the time of his death. He prepared for college at the Whitman High School. At Dartmouth he majored in the Classics and received the Atherton Prize in junior year. He stayed on for an M.A. degree in 1907, meanwhile teaching Greek and Latin in the Hanover High School.

His services in his community were manifold, and at his death the BrocktonEnterprise called him "one of the town's best known and highly respected citizens." He served as trustee of the Whitman Public Library for 45 years, the longest record of public service in the town's history. He served also on the board of trustees and as treasurer for 25 years of the Rogers Home for the Aged. Much interested in Masonic work, he belonged to the Blue Lodge, Chapter, Council, Commandery, and Shrine.
For the last 15 years Randall's eyesight gradually failed, and at the last he was completely blind. A thoroughly loyal and faithful alumnus, he supported his college and his class in all possible ways. He came to our 60th reunion (as he had to all of our earlier ones) and aroused the admiration of all of us by his quiet, serene acceptance of his handicap. We shall all miss him, for there is none other like him.

As a loyal supporter of varsity athletics he was a familiar figure at many Hanover contests. He was always an active participant at all class gatherings, homecomings and reunions. He was a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, a veteran of World War I, and chairman of the board of trustees of the Brown Memorial Library in Bradford, N. H.
The first of Abe's two marriages ended in divorce. He is survived by four cousins, all of whom reside in San Diego, Calif.
Interment was in the Weld family plot in the Henniker (N. H.) Cemetery, with many area classmates in attendance.
1922
SAMUEL LOUIS CHEVALIER died during December 1969, presumably in Bethlehem, Pa. The report of his death came via returned mail.
Sam was a tall, powerfully built, good-looking lad favorably regarded in Connecti- cut high school circles as a promising tackle prospect. He was a native of Naugatuck, Conn., and came to Dartmouth with seven other high school classmates. At college he was well liked for his friendly, relaxed personality. He was on the football squad and was a Sigma Nu.
In the mid-twenties, class records show him working for the Kroehler Mfg. Co., Napierville, Ill., and later for Forest Products Engineering, Chicago. In 1931 he was with Joerns Bros. Furniture Co., Stevens Point, Wis. Ten years later he appeared as proprietor of Chevalier Tavern, Bethlehem, Pa. Then for 28 years he was "lost" as far as alumni records were concerned and it was only through fortuity and the diligence of a classmate that his location was again established a year ago.
There are no known survivors. But despite the vagaries of fate, Sam will never be "lost" in the memories of those who, 50 years ago, knew him as the affable, carefree lad he was.
1923
FRANCIS PRESTON LEAVITT died September 21 from a stroke. Born in Portland, Maine, December 17, 1901, Prest was with us during sophomore and junior years. He was the former executive vice-president of the Hartford Better Business Bureau and was also on the Board of Directors of the Hartford Rotary Club and former chairman of the Retail Trade Board. He had not been in good health for some time and was living in retirement at the time of his death.
Prest's son, Frank G. Leavitt '56, a teacher at Old Farms School, writes of his father: "He lived as full a life as a man can. He frequently related his strong feelings for Dartmouth and to this day I believe the finest thing I ever accomplished, in his mind—was to attend and graduate from Dartmouth. My best wishes to the Class of 1923 who seemed to have meant so much to Dad."
Survivors include his widow, the former Ethel Thompson, his son, a daughter, Mrs. Carol Adams, and four grandchildren.
ARTHUR SELF HARRIS died on July 22, 1970 at Naples, Fla. Art came to Hanover from Worcester Academy and was with us during freshman year only. Word of his death comes to us from the executors of his estate, the Bank of Naples, in Florida where he was apparently living in retirement.
Very little is known of Art's business career except that at one time he was associated with the W. T. Grant Co. as a store manager in Lancaster, Pa., and later was a sales representative for the Polyphase Chemical Service of New York with headquarters in Baltimore.
Art was married but his wife apparently died some years ago as his reported survivors include only three sisters and two brothers.
1924
Ted Goddard was well known to two groups: the alumni around Old Bennington, Vermont, which was home base, and the Florida winter refugees. He died of a brain hemorrhage on July 4, 1970 after meeting with his brother, Dorrance, at the summer house on Thetford Hill. He had been discharged from the Albany Medical Center but died soon after returning home.
THEODORE NIEBERG GODDARD was born May 18, 1902 in Lancaster, Mass., but graduated from the Ann Arbor, Mich., schools. After graduating with us, he earned his M.B.A. degree from Harvard in 1929 to become a certified public accountant. He married Margaret Ballard, in Pittsburgh, Sept. 7, 1927; they came to Bennington from New Rochelle (N. Y.) in 1934.
There were many interests to keep Ted happy, other than his family who survive him: one son, Theodore Nelson Goddard (Springfield, Vt.), and two daughters (both married); his brother Dorrance, and a granddaughter. His interests included an active service in the First Congregational Church of Old Bennington, offices in the Village and the Museum and the Green Mountain Club. His hobby was being a railroad buff, which took him on many lines no longer in service. Community activities also included the Red Cross, the local Rationing Board, and the Bennington Club.
Having just passed his 68th birthday, HENRY CLINTON HUDSON died May 30, 1970. Few knew he was born in St. John, New Brunswick, Canada (May 7, 1902). He came to Dartmouth from the Boston area where he lived most of his life. His father was a clergyman in Brockton; by contrast, Henry graduated from the Allen Military School. He left Dartmouth in May 1923.
At the time of his death, Henry was President of Stavert Co., of Boston, metal shelf makers. Back of that his history was largely in sales: in advertising (Walker- Longfellow Co., Boston) in 1927; Gillette, with a short tour in China as Far Eastern representative, 1930; then "Stavert Hudson" in Cohasset; insurance, 1931-33; with Elroy Whitaker, 1935, selling a "fashion service to stores"; Pioneer Suspender Co. and U. S. Rubber Co. between 1938 and 1950 when he came to the Stavert Co. in Cambridge, Mass. Stavert was his mother's maiden name.
While his widow is Frances (Williams) of 9 Forty Steps Lane, Nahant, he first married the widow of Jack May '24—Winifred May—in 1932. There were no children. A step-daughter, Mrs. Charles Riley Jr. of Boston and a brother also survives Henry.
It is always an unhappy duty of this class secretary to write obituaries, but doubly so for a former classmate who has written "not interested" and severed the ancient ties. The Westerly (R. I.) Sun, therefore, is our only source of information: SYLVESTER JOHN DORSEL died there on July 30, 1970. He was an investment counselor for the Ohio Casualty Co. in Hamilton. His World War II record lists him as a major in the U. S. Air Corps. He is survived by his widow, a son, a daughter, and nine grandchildren. Funeral and interment were in Cincinnati.
1926
JOHN CHURCH CARLISLE died May 22, 1970 in Saginaw, Mich., where he had been a lifelong resident. He lived at 2005 Allegan. Born February 16, 1904, he graduated from Saginaw High School and was with our Class during freshman year.
John was associated with his father and brother in the Carlisle Tannery, one of Saginaw's major industries. He was an ardent golfer and won the city golf championship a number of years and the Saginaw Country Club championship.
He is survived by his widow Emily, whom he married June 16, 1928; a daughter Anne, a sister and a brother, to all of whom the Class extends its deepest sympathy.
While most classmates knew over a year ago of the passing of one of our very active classmates ROBERT WILLIAM CARR, through a regrettable oversight an obiturary was delayed in publication. Bob, who was born in Orford, N. H. May 28, 1904, died in Fairlee, Vt., June 2, 1969. He entered Dartmouth from Kimball Union Academy.
He represented Orford in the General Court at Concord, serving two terms and was chairman of the Insurance Committee in his last term. After owning the Carr & Co. grocery store in Orford he entered the insurance brokerage business in which he was active until his death. He was a member of the Blue Lodge, past master of Mt. Cube Lodge, and deputy grand master for New Hampshire.
He married Ruby Clark of Groton, Vt., June 24, 1931. She and Bob took active part in many 1926 formal and informal reunions and always contributed much to the enjoyment of these meetings. The Class extends sincere sympathy to Ruby.
DR. JOB FRANKLIN MENGES died unex- pectedly May 1, 1970 of a heart attack at his home, 45 i Terrace Ave., Ephrata, Pa. Jo entered Dartmouth from the high school in Reading, Pa., his native city, and took his medical degree at Temple University Medi- cal School. He was a practicing physician in Reading for over 25 years and in Ephrata since 1957 where he served on the obstetrical and gynecological staff of the Community Hospital. He was a charter member of the College of Obstetrics and Gynecology and a member of the Berks County Medical Society.

Word was received this spring of the death on January 22, 1970 of THOMAS EUGENE NORTON in Pittsburgh, Pa. In college Tom became a member of Sigma Nu, Beta Alpha Phi, and Alpha Delta Sigma. He was on the Jack o' Lantern board for three years. After college Tom entered the building supply industry, but in 1933 he was employed by the Montour Railroad Co. of which he became purchasing agent in 1953. He was a member of the Pittsburgh Athletic Association. Tom was not married, but is survived by his brother, John E. Norton '2B of Pittsburgh, to whom the Class extends its sympathy.

SAM ARDINGER BASSETT died June 24 after a protracted illness. He spent his last years in Southern California in semi-retirement as a staff doctor for the Veterans Administration Hospital at Sawtelle. He lived at 19462 Brookhurst St., Huntington Beach, Calif.
A native of St. Louis, Sam returned there after graduating from the Dartmouth Medical School in 1930 and completed his studies at Washington University Medical School. He built a successful practice in St. Louis, specializing in preventive medicine and general surgery. He served five years in the Navy in World War 11, part of the time as flight surgeon on the USS Marcus Island, one of the "baby flattop" carriers, which saw some of the heaviest action in the Pacific. He achieved the rank of Captain before his retirement from the Naval Reserve five years ago.
Sam returned to his practice in St. Louis after the war, but sold it in 1954.
He is survived by his widow Pauline (Gaines); three sons by his first marriage, Sam T. '57, Denis '63 and Randy '64; and a brother, Phillip '30.
JOHN EDWARD MCLAUGHLIN died of a heart attack August 24. The attack came while he was sitting beside the swimming pool at his country club and he died shortly afterward at the Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia. He worked in the advertising department of the Campbell Soup Co. from 1930 until he retired last year as Manager of Consumer Relations.
Jack was born in Philadelphia, Sept. 15, 1903, graduated from West Philadelphia High and then Perkiomen School. At Dartmouth he played soccer, was a cheer- leader, and a member of Beta Theta Pi and Sphinx. After a year and a half with a Philadelphia advertising agency, he joined Campbell Soup Co.
In college and afterward Jack was one of and friendliest men you ever met. He liked people and he owned "the light touch" and the nicety of the "good word." He was no Pollyanna—he had a fine sense of what the Irish call "doom" with the bittersweet, ironic humor that was his Scots' antidote.
From the time he graduated, Jack never stopped working for Dartmouth, serving as an assistant class agent for 20 years, class treasurer 1933-38, chairman of our tenth reunion, president of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Philadelphia 1947-48, and a member of the Dartmouth Capital Gifts Committee.
He had a flair for the theatre and was a member of the board of governors of the Philadelphia Play and Players. He was a lieutenant commander in the Navy in the Second World War, serving most of his 41-month stint in the West Indies.

HARRIS ALLEN HIGGINS of Parkdale, Ore., died on May 27, 1970 after a long illness. He was born in Worcester, Mass., moved to Melrose, and came to Dartmouth from Colby Academy, living in Topliff.

Fifteen years of selling industrial agricultural chemicals led to his life work in 1945 when he bought and developed a fruit farm in the beautiful Hood River Valley.
Hig became a prominent figure in the Northwest, serving as vice president of the Oregon Farm Bureau Federation and chairman of its fruit committee. He became County Judge in 1960; a position in which he presided over the Juvenile Court with concern, compassion, and imagination for the young people coming before him.

1935
RALPH HENRY FIELD, president of Field Machinery Co., died September 8 at the Emerson Hospital in Concord, Mass. He underwent an operation for a brain tumor last November and was considered to have recovered, but a series of unrelated illnesses led to his death from bronchial pneumonia.
Ralph spent his entire business life in the construction equipment business. As was the fate of many '35ers during the depression years, he left Hanover at the end of his sophomore year and entered his father's business. In 1945, the contractor's equipment division was reformed as Field Machinery Co. with Ralph as president. The company handled distribution of heavy construction equipment for major manufacturers.
Although Ralph was not privileged to get his degree from Dartmouth, his love of the College steadily deepened. He and Ruby were always stalwarts at '35 gatherings in Hanover, and their son, Dick, graduated in 1961. It was Ralph's ambition to provide financial aid for deserving students and, accordingly, Ruby has asked that any memorial gifts be sent to the College for this purpose.
Ralph was active in both industry and community affairs. He was a former regional director of Associated Equipment Distributors and a former director of the Boston YMCA. In 1963 he headed a membership drive for the Y. He lived at 187 Concord Rd., Wayland, Mass.
In addition to Ruby and his son, Ralph is survived by his parents, a brother, and a grandson. Burial was in the family lot in North Cemetery, Wayland.
JOHN NORBERG THOMPSON, prominent business and civic leader in Key West (Fla.), died August 30 after a long illness.
Jack was president of Thompson Enterprizes, Inc., until its recent sale to Sea Farms, Inc. He was also one of the founders of K-T Motors and a director of the Key West State bank.
He was a native of Key West and spent most of his life there. He entered Dartmouth from Choate School, and in Hanover was a member of Beta Theta Pi, Bait and Bullet, and the freshman basketball and lacrosse teams. After graduation he went with his father to Cuba to help manage the family pineapple plantation. Returning, he began his association with Thompson Enterprises, eventually succeeding his father as president.
During World War 11, Jack served in the U. S. Navy as a lieutenant commander in the Pacific theatre. He was married in 1942 to Floy Vance, who had attended the University of Southern California. Their only child, Beau, died tragically at age 20.

At the time of his death Bill was the president and a director of O'Connor & Goldberg, a company which owned and operated 17 shoe stores in the area. Before taking over this position, in 1960, he had operated his own management consulting firm, and was also on the staffs at Illinois Institute of Technology and the University of Chicago.
