Joseph's business was lumbering and cattle trading, starting first in Vermont, but in 1917 he moved over into Lebanon, N.H. His real interest however up to almost the end of his life was politics, where he had a tumultuous career. He served as selectman in Lebanon for eighteen years. Subsequently he was elected to the lower house of the State Legislature for six terms, representing the district which included Hanover; thereafter he moved up the political ladder to serve three terms from Lebanon in the State Senate.

He had received training in voice under distinguished teachers in Chicago and taught music full-time in Central High School of San Juan where he made two operatic productions a year. He discovered and trained several outstanding singers one of whom sang in opera throughout Europe and the U.S.

In June 1911 at Duluth, Minn., Dwight married Clara Thurow. There were four children: Harriet, Norman T., Ralph W., and Harry H. They survive as does his brother Edgar '10.

WILLIAM RICE KIMBALL passed away on December 5, 1969 after a long illness at Kentwell, Calif.

Bruno was born in Chicago, July 3, 1884 and prepared for college at the Oak Park High School. He received his B.S. degree in 1907 and attended Thayer School. He was a member of Alpha Delta Phi, the cast of "The Founders," and Aegis Board.

In politics Bruno was a Republican, a member of the Congregational Church, he was cofounder of Ogden Rotary Club in 1918 and a member of various social and business clubs.

1912

It is exceedingly difficult for any member of the Class of 1912 to think of our annual reunions without visualizing Roy Lewis sitting at the seat of customs, greeting each and every one returning for a few days of unforgotten companionship.

ROY EVERETT LEWIS arrived in Lebanon, N.H., November 14, 1889, one of identical twins. Graduating from the local high school, they entered Dartmouth together. They looked so exactly alike that not even classmates, teachers, or coaches could tell them apart. From the very start Roy was active as a member of both Class and varsity football teams, the Musical Clubs, the Dartmouth String Quartet, and the' College Orchestra. With all that he was on the honor list. He was a member of Theta Delta Chi and of Sphinx.

Roy worked with United Fruit Company in Guatemala and in Colombia a short while then returned to Lebanon in 1914, to set up a hardware business with his younger brother, John 'l4, under the name of Lewis Brothers. This has been his occupation up to the time of his retirement a few years ago.

It appears that Lebanon could not get along without Roy, for he served on the town budget and audit committees, was president of the Chamber of Commerce, president and treasurer of the Carter Country Club, director and vice president of the National Bank of Lebanon, director of the Lebanon Building and Loan, president of Split Ballbearing Corporation, president and treasurer of the Grafton County Fish and Game Association, and member of the New Hampshire Fish and Game Advisory Board. From all these activities it can be readily seen that he was an ardent hunter, fisherman, and golfer.

Lebanon was the site of his wedding on September 23, 1916 to Florence Wright Reed of that city. Florence survives him at 44 Bank St., Lebanon. He is also survived by two daughters, one of whom married Donald M. Taber '41, son of Elwyn Taber '12; eight grandchildren; and one great-grandchild. Funeral services were held in Venice and a memorial service is planned for Lebanon in the spring.

MYRON S. FALES died at his home 4329 S.E. 16th St., Oklahoma City on August 12.

Following service overseas in World War I, he had made his home in Oklahoma. After the war until 1954, Myron held positions of responsibility with Texas Corporation and Phillips Petroleum in that state. "Shifty," as he was affectionately known to his friends in our class, was unfortunate during his war service in suffering gas inhalation and accordingly was obliged to live a more or less restricted life for the many years that he continued his work in Oklahoma and that environment.

Myron was married in 1932 to Elizabeth Whitten. She survives him along with a son Myron Jr., a brother, and a sister. In the passing of Myron, 1917 has lost a courageous and faithful son of Dartmouth. Through your secretary, the Class extends its heartfelt sympathy to Elizabeth and the family.

At the time of the Class's 25th reunion, Don wrote: "Any changes since 1932 (except for the dislocations of the war years and the sense of tensions in the world at large) have been so gradual their real significance seems only to be normal and natural aspects of the past becoming the present, and of the present indicating a little of the future. For me nothing radical has been experienced nor is anticipated... no major regret."
