1924

CHARLES LOGAN GODFREY died August 14. The record is bare, mostly because he left Dartmouth at the end of the first semester in February 1921. The only other contact on record is a report of a pleasant hunting trip for deer in the College Grant in 1968.

We are sad to report the death of EARL HENRY KEES on August 2 after the warning of potential trouble by a very severe heart attack six years ago. He certainly used this so-called "borrowed time" to good advantage. He retired January 1, 1967, and he and Edith moved to Florida where they built a new home three years ago. Earl had returned to Dartmouth only once (1967). "I think he had waited too long, and it was difficult to find old landmarks."

Earl was born December 18, 1901 in Newark, N. J., the son of a printer. He came to Dartmouth, however, from North High School, in Minneapolis, the area in which he grew up and worked until his retirement five and a half years ago. Starting with Washburn-Crosby Four Co., he moved to Kansas City Mo., in 1932, and to Chicago in 1938 through 1954 (at least). In 1950 he was the vice president of the General Division of General Mills, Inc. (Chicago).

In 1932, while in Kansas City, Earl married Edith Clare Linder who survives him, as does his daughter and two grandsons. He was active in Florida: program chairman of the Walton County Chamber of Commerce; past president of the Lion's Club; organizer of the Santa Rosa Beach Golf Club, and its president at the time of his death. Two of his favorite charities were Sheriff Boy's Ranch and Girl's Villa, at Live Oak, Fla.

1925

FREDERICK LAWRENCE WESTON died August 4 in Sharon, Mass., which had been his home for many years. He was born July 2, 1904 in Revere and came to Dartmouth from Medford High School.

1926

JOSEPH MILNOR BATCHELDER died at Salem Hospital on August 28, having been stricken with a heart attack that morning at his home in Marblehead, Mass.

Born in Cambridge, Mass., Joe graduated from Beverly High School. At Dartmouth he was on the golf team, (as captain and manager in his senior year) and as a freshman won the College golf title. He was a member of Kappa Kappa" Kappa, Alpha Delta Sigma, Sphinx, Green Key, the Glee Club and served on the "Jack O'Lantern" and "Tower" boards.

A resident of Marblehead for 40 years where he was active in many , civic affairs, Joe was one-time president of Eastern Yacht Club and was a member of the Salem Country Club. Since graduation he had been in the investment business in Boston, and was a broker with American Securities Corp. at the time of his death.

Joe had a great impelling interest in golf which began at the age of 14. He attained superlative skills and held course records at The Country Club, Oak Hill, and the old Tedesco links. He won the New England Amateur Golf Championship on August 6, 1931. He was past president of the New England Golf Association, the Massachusetts Golf Association and the Francis Ouimet Caddy Scholarship Fund. At the services held in the Old North Congregational Church in Marblehead where Joe was a member, the Rev. Mr. Hooten paid tribute to him: "He always kept the importance of golf to him in wholesome perspective. It never interfered with duty or responsibility. He won many matches, but it never went to his head. He lost matches, too, but he never was beaten. Much as he wanted to win, it was not whether he won or lost, but how he played that was of first importance. So he was the epitome of true sportsmanship. And we will always admire him for. that great example."

Joe's 1926 classmates who knew him as a most loyal Dartmouth man, who respected him, who knew him as a great friend, turn their thoughts and affection to the family he leaves—his widow Margaret; two sons, Charles F. and Joseph L. '60; a daughter, a brother, two sisters, and six grandchildren.

The College and the Class of 1926 have suffered a great loss in the passing of ROBERT JOSHUA BREYFOGLE on August 29, at Berks, England. He was always a most interested and loyal alumnus of Dartmouth, a warm and generous friend to all who knew him.

Bob: was born in Toronto, Canada, October 21, 1903. He came to Dartmouth from Peterboro Collegiate Institute where he had been prominent in Canadian football and the school literary circles. While in college, Bob was active in the Outing Club and the literary societies. He was a member of The Arts, Pleiade, Cabin and Trail, Zeta Psi, Delta Omicron Gamma, Casque & Gauntlet, and on the board of The Tower. After graduation he spent a year in Hanover teaching Civics, the forerunner of the Great Issues course. He did postgraduate work at Magdalene College, Oxford University, from 1927 to 1929.

On his return to this country from Oxford, he joined the National City Bank of New York in their Overseas Department. His first foreign assignment was at Barcelona, Spain, with the International Banking Corporation throughout the 1930's. During the Spanish Civil War, it was necessary for his family to live in England, and he carried on the work of the bank by commuting between Spain and London. He was later stationed at Havana, Cuba. In 1945 he went to London as manager of that office, and in 1955 was appointed vice president and manager of the London branch of the then First National City Bank of New York, the position from which he retired in 1966 because of ill health.

Bob distinguished himself in London banking circles, and the First National City Bank grew enormously under his guidance. He had a host of friends throughout England and the Continent. He became an excellent golfer and served at one time as President of his Sunningdale Golf Club, a compliment usually reserved for the native English. He was a member of the Reform Club and American Club in London (a former president), the University Club of New York, and many others. He was a director of several American corporations operating in England and Europe.

At the time of the Dartmouth Convocation on Great Issues in the Anglo-Canadian-American Community held at the College in September 1957, Bob, because of his Canadian background and English experience, was named one of the three alumni vice chairmen of the convocation.

Bob was married to Elsie McLaughlin of Toronto in Christ Church, London, on August 10, 1931. They had two children, Mrs. Joan Patricia Bartlett and Peter Nicholas, a graduate of Trinity College, Cambridge, and now a businessman in Europe. There are several grandchildren.

Bob's many friends of the College and his Class extend deepest sympathy to his wife Elsie and their children. We are all poorer for this loss.
