1924

It is almost two years since CARROLL BAILEY EASTBURN died, in March 1968, after "bronchial pneumonia" and after a seemingly satisfactory recovery was reversed by severe coughing that probably triggered "heart failure." His widow supplied these words to a classmate who called on them unaware of the tragedy. Carroll will be remembered as a good athlete on the freshman football and basketball teams. He left Dartmouth, however, at midyears 1922.

He was born July 18, 1900 in Downingtown, Pa., where his father was a tinsmith. In 1926 he married Charlotte Soule, a Fairfield, Vt., girl. They went to Hollywood to be married, and he worked with the Hollywood Land & Water Co. In 1932, they were back in Fairfield, where he worked as superintendent of the maple sugar factory and later selling maple syrup equipment (1940-51) for Fairfield Farms Maple Co., in St. Albans, presumably a family business.

Thereafter, the record is all California, starting as a salesman in Whittier (1952), manager of a warehouse (1954), and then manager in the Los Angeles unit of Jack Berman Co. (manufacturer's representatives). Carroll Jr. was born in 1937, applied to Dartmouth but graduated from Colorado University. Carroll is survived by his widow, Charlotte, and son. He served with the U.S. Army (Artillery), 1917-19, in World War I.

EDGAR ARNOLD HILL died in Sarasota, Fla., of cancer, three days after his 68th birthday. He was born December 21, 1901 in Evanston, Ill., where he later attended high school.

Our records hold little information but our classmate, Charles Altman, fellow architect and close friend, has supplied the following personal note:

"He was graduated with us in 1924, a member of Chi Phi fraternity. 'Pilly' studied architecture at Harvard, and received an architectural degree. Going back to Chicago he practiced for several years. He moved to Oldwick, N. J., in 1944, living near his sister and brother-in-law. He designed and built his own house there, and married Ann Schley Webb in 1949. After his divorce, several years later, he began to winter in Boca Grande, Fla. It became the place he loved, and there he again designed a home in which he lived and entertained more and more each year.

"In the summers, Pilly returned to Peapack, N. J., to a small apartment at the Essex Hunt Club. Nevertheless, he was known in Florida as 'Mr. Boca Grande,' and people there miss him tremendously. He is survived by a sister, Inez Atkinson and a brother, Charles B. Jr. '31. Fishing displaced golf in Pilly's sport life. A great friend."

We are saddened to have to report the end of an illustrious career in journalism: PAUL AGNEW SYNNOTT died February 7 in the Stamford, Conn., Hospital, the city where he had lived for many years.

At college, Paul was a member of Psi Upsilon; he came here from Montclair Academy and graduated with us. His first job was with the Conde Nast Publications, from where he started his career in June of 1927. Now I turn to a letter, printed with permission, from Paul's best friend.

"In the 40 years he spent with Time magazine, Paul acquired an unusual business and financial knowledge which management, sales, and advertising executives found so important that he became one of the corporation's greatest business producers. In the practice of his work, Paul was interested in people and their welfare, and this trait attracted many who came to him for personal help and advice in their problems. In this respect he was an equal success. ...While Paul was a business and financial success at Time and very popular, I look on his greatest achievement to be his generosity and kindness to countless people in his community who had troubles. He was a magnificent Christian."

I hesitate to add a thing, but will note that recently he was in the real estate business, associated with the Richard Tjader Agency; that he flew his own plane and was also with the Connecticut Wing of the Civil Air Patrol. He was a member of the University Club of New York, the Lake Placid Club, the Midtown Club (Stamford), and the Woodway Country Club (Darien): a Requiem Mass was sung at his church, St. Leo Roman Catholic Church (Stamford). Those surviving Paul are his widow, Alice, at 611 Westover Rd., Stamford; a son, Paul A. Jr. '61; Audrey, Vassar '58 and a nun; and Joan, now Mrs. James Ardrey, Mt. Holyoke '63.

The College, and so our Class, had been unable to discover the facts regarding either CHARLES FREDERICK SMITH or his wife Eleanor for sometime.

Holdom in 1933, and she survives him, with their two children: Robert Gray (1935) and Thomas Gilbert (1938).

River Paper Co., and in 1939 vice-president of the Benjamin J. Betner Paper Co. in Pennsylvania, a paper converting flexible packages business. When this firm merged with Continental Can Co. in 1956, Hank retired. But he was still active on the board of the Paper Institute and lectured on his specialty at Columbia University.

1937

We deeply regret having to report the death of GILES ST. CLAIR on January 7, 1970, at Baptist Memorial Hospital, Coral Gables, Fla. He was 53.

Gi was a life-long resident of Montclair, N. J., where he lived at 1 S. Mountain Terr., and came to Dartmouth from the Montclair High School. As an undergraduate he served on the board of the Green Book, was a member of the band, and majored in economics. His first job was with the New York Trust Company, which he left to join the S. B. Penick Company, a chemical and drug manufacturing firm. He was with Penick for 28 years, retiring in 1965 as a vice president and director. He and Florence had a winter residence at Ocean Reef, Key Largo, Fla., and he had written us last year of the joys of world travel in retirement.

He was a member of St. Lukes Episcopal Church, the Montclair Golf Club, St. Andrews Society of New York, the University Club of New York, and a former member of the Board of Trustees of Montclair Academy. In 1960 he served as a member of the Corporations Committee for the Dartmouth Medical School Campaign.

He is survived by his widow, Florence; a son, Giles Jr. of Montclair; his stepmother; a brother, Erskine '35; and four grandchildren.

Services were held at St. Lukes Church and the notice asked in lieu of flowers contributions be sent to the Giles and Florence P. St. Clair Foundation, c/o Montclair National Bank & Trust Company.

To those distant who may not have heard, it is with great sorrow we record the death of SHERMAN WILLIAM BLAKE in Portland, Me., on January 28, 1970, of pneumonia. He was in the hospital only six days, most of that time in a coma.

Sherm was a lifelong resident of Portland and came to Dartmouth from Deerfield Academy. Following graduation he attended Harvard Business School then joined the old and respected family business, W. L. Blake & Company, industrial plumbing supplies of which he became president and treasurer.

We think it most fitting that we quote the allowing from one of his roommates, Dave camerer: "At Dartmouth Sherm lived in Middle Mass with an assortment of roommates including Bill Shevlin, Gordon Torrey, Mutt Ray and (during his senior year) in the attic of the Psi U house with brothers Tony Genewich, Jack Donovan, and myself. A retiring individual with a keen sense of humor (which he needed with that crew), Sherm was always the gentleman. He married Virginia (Ginny) Duffeld of Grosse Pointe, Mich., within 72 hours of our graduation at the 5th Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York on the hottest day of a blooming summer with most of his buddies as ushers including the aforementioned Ray as best man and Mort Berkowitz as deputy ring bearer.

"During the war he served as an officer in Navy Procurement at 90 Church Street where his knowledge of heavy goods and steel for boats and guns was valuable. Following the war Sherm returned to his home at 24 Carroll Street in Falmouth Foreside, a suburb of Portland, where they lived in a sprawling modern Cape, a chip shot from the broad Atlantic. Classmates at the funeral included Torrey, Ray, Camerer, and Brad Jenkins '38."

Sherm was active in the Portland business community serving as a director of the Sun Federal Savings & Loan Association, Maine National Bank, Maine Central Railroad, and was a corporator of the Maine Medical Center and Maine Savings Bank. He was a member of the Cumberland Club and the Portland Country Club.

Surviving besides his wife are two daughters, Virginia and Polly, six grandchildren, and a sister.

1944

JOHN GARDNER CHAMBERLAIN died of a heart attack upon his return to Cornwall Academy on January 6, 1970. A native of Lexington, Mass., Gardner prepared for Dartmouth at Middlesex School.

He served in the United States Army from 1943 to 1946 and had a rank of T/5 when he was discharged. He was a member of the staff of Suffield Academy in Connecticut for five years, teaching history and English in the Lower School.

In 1951 he accepted the position of Headmaster in the Lower School at Cornwall Academy in Cornwall, Conn., which was then in its second year of existence. The school grew from 12 to 150 students in ensuing years and it was subsequently re-located in Great Barrington, Mass. When the Lower School was dropped, Gardner was made chairman of the History Department. As a senior master, he also acted in the capacity of assistant to the headmaster.

As a friend wrote, "Gardner was a quiet, sensitive person who few really knew - but those who did, and his many students, shall always remember him with love." He is survived by his mother and one sister, Mrs. John Geibel, of Texas. The Class extends its sympathy to them both.

1949

The college has been informed of the death of classmate, DR. WALTER MORRIS KLEIN, of 465 Adams St., Quincy, Mass., on January 27. Walter came to Dartmouth from Boston Latin School and majored in chemistry and zoology. During World War 11, he was a Naval aviator. He received his dental degree from the Tufts University School of Dentistry in 1953 and practiced general dentistry in Scituate, Mass., up to the time of his passing.

We extend our deepest sympathy to his widow Marise, his parents, sister, and brother. The Class of 1949 mourns the loss of a friend and fellow.
