After his graduation in 1911 Dr. Wheatley received his medical degree at Tufts in 1914 and interned at Waltham Hospital. Early in his career, because of his interest in electrical engineering-in which he was self taught—as well as in medicine, he became attracted to the science of Roentgenology, and decided to specialize in Radiology which was then in the developmental stage.

1928

WILLIAM BAYARD OKIE JR., nationally known display designer, died of a heart attack on April 19 in New York City.

Bill went from South Orange, N.J., via a year in Hanover, to quickly make his fame and fortune in New York. In 1942 he was ensconced among the fabulous of that cockeyed city when the "New Yorker" published a Profile of his madcap life, titled "The Magnificent Touch." That Bill was not as clownish as he was smart, may be surmised by his success in advertising both himself and his craft of window designing.

After leaving Dartmouth Bill dabbled in movie acting at the old Famous-Players-Lasky Studio in Astoria and then, in 1927, went to work as a salesman for Marcus & Co., Fifth Avenue jewelers. However, he also studied at the Art Students League and the Master Institute of Guild Arts. Despite accepting a $2,250 check for a $22,500 pearl necklace, his career soared steadily upward after he persuaded his employers to let him design a few windows. He brought down the size of the ten-foot plate glass window as he might close down the aperture of a camera. It was his idea to focus the gaze on a single small stage. He dramatized the object he was selling with a miniature tableau and lit his scenes with tiny spotlights. His "closed-down" windows were an instantaneous success and he soon branched out and did displays for hundreds of other clients, including the Museum of Natural History.

During the war Bill was a captain in the Army Transport Service, serving as skipper of a supply ship operating out of Sidney, Australia, from 1943 to 1945. After the war he opened an office in New York and did design work for scores of well-known firms. For some years before his death he was employed by Matthews-Master Eagle Photo Engraving Corp.

In 1940 he married Mrs. Raphaelle Gevaert of Belgium, who survives him. He is also survived by his brother, William T. Okie '33.

ALBERT CRAIG FISHER died June 4, 1971 in Roslyn Heights, N.Y., after a six-month losing fight with cancer. He was 63 and one of 1929's most respected and beloved members. He came to Dartmouth from Fort Thomas, Ky., after graduating from Highlands High School.

A member of Zeta Psi, he was manager of the lacrosse team, circulation manager of lacko' Lantern, and a member of Round Table and Alpha Delta Sigma. Tuck School was his major.

Al joined the New York Telephone Company and remained with it until his retirement in 1968. He filled a variety of assignments of an engineering and managerial nature from which he derived personal satisfaction as well as merited promotion. He found that dealing with personnel problems and human relations gave him his greatest lift.

On August 5, 1930 he married Sally Andrews, a Smith alumna. They had two children. Son James '54 made his father's 25th a doubly memorable celebration.

Al was an active and loyal alumnus; he served as secretary of the Long Island Dartmouth Alumni Association and as chairman of the interviewing committee of that region. He and Sally were Alumni College regulars. A tour of England, Scotland, and Wales delayed but did not deter their partial attendance last summer.

He contributed his talents to the community as president of Roslyn Preservation Corporation, treasurer of Christopher Morley Knothole Association, and secretary of Long Island Pension and Benefit Committee. The Fishers lived an outdoor life, and have participated in the crusade for conservation and preservation of environment and its inhabitants. Their two hideaway houses where they went for recreation and relaxation, Shelter Island off the Long Island coast and the Fairlee farm, were often opened to classmates.

Our hearts go out to Sally, James and daughter Sally in their loss which we all share.

ALFRED CARL WEIGEL died March 1, 1971 at the J.F. Kennedy Hospital in West Palm Beach, Fla., after a short illness from cancer.

She continues to reside at 66Middle Road, Hamden, Conn., together withtheir daughter Marcia (a junior at BostonCollege), son John (who will attend Taft nextyear and, like his father, a hockey player),and daughter Elizabeth who is in gradeschool in Hamden.

Although Harry's business activity was inthe Hamden area—he was owner andpresident of the Connecticut Pump Companyof North Haven—his continuing interest insports was not so limited. Harry had been aco-owner of the New Haven Blades and laterserved on the Board of Directors. He had alsoad an interest in Eastern Hockey Leagueteams in the Washington area; he owned andtrained some of the top pacers and trotters inthe New England area and was an active andsuccessful amateur golfer.

More importantly, however, Harry's interest a young people was, together with his family, the major part of his life. He sponsored and helped coach a youth hockey team in Hamden, as well as an all-star bantam hockey team in New Haven which traveled through- out New England and the Mid-West. Harry's approach was that boys stay out of trouble if they have a healthful sports program to command their interest.

1970

FRANK SCHUYLER SMITH was in a fatal auto accident in Lima, Pa. on February 6.

A friend and classmate writes at his death, "Frank's main passion was, not without sad irony, cars. At Dartmouth, Frank was going to be an English major. He wrote extremely well, and like all freshmen hoped to write the great American novel. He did quite a bit of creative writing while at Dartmouth, much of which was good. He was a member of Bait and Bullet and although not as gung ho as some, he had a real appreciation for the out-of-doors.

"Frank spent two years in the Marines after leaving Dartmouth in 1968, and served in Vietnam. I don't think the 'he was proud to serve his country' line would be too appropriate, however, as he was proud that he never had to kill anyone, and tried his best not to fire his weapon. Frank was not exactly behind the peace movement either. As with everything about Frank, he was caught in a limbo between his conservative background and the allure of radical thought and action."

The Class finds little consolation in Frank'sdeath. His questions and concerns were feltand shared by his friends. They can no longerturn to him, nor he to them, for the strengthof common answers. To his parents, Dr. andMrs. John H. Smith of 1826 Old Wood Rd.,Rockford, Ill., we convey our profoundsorrow.
