SHERMAN LEWIS SMITH, 78, passed away in Hyannis, Mass., on August 22. He was well-known to a host of Massachusetts friends, beloved by his classmates, and the death of Sherm came as a distinct shock to all of us.

Like many of his class, he immediately joined the armed forces after graduation in 1917. First he enlisted as a private in the U.S. Army and served in its ordnance department. After an assignment overseas in the Coast Artillery Corp, he was discharged with the rank of second lieutenat at Camp Devens on April 24, 1919.

Active in local interests, Sherm was a member of the Orleans Historical Society, the Pilgrams Men's Club, the Orleans United Methodist Church and a lodge member of Masonry in his home city of Orleans. He contributed articles for the Motor World, Automotive Industries, and Printed Salesmanship.

In 1972, Dartmouth named him "Newsletter Editor of the Year."

He leaves his wife Helen (Skelley), a son Alan D. '50 of Tokyo, and two granddaughters. The Class was represented at the funeral services by Phil Evans, Pete Olds and Fran Brown. Our deepest sympathy is extended to Helen and members of his family.

He is survived by his wife Eleanor; and a daughter, Mrs. John K. McGee of Houston, Texas.

1920

Usually news of the death of a well-known figure, especially in the world of sports and sports writing, is passed along through the media very quickly but, for reasons unknown, such was not the case with the passing of CHESTER LINDLEY SMITH. He died on January 31 in the St. Clair Memorial Hospital, Pittsburgh, Pa., in his 74th year. He is survived by his wife Esther of 174 Youngwood Road, whom he married in 1923, and to her the Class extends belatedly its deepest sympathy.

Chet entered Dartmouth in the fall of 1916 but left college after a year to join the U.S. Naval Reserve in World War I. He did not return to college after the war but began a career of sports writing for The PittsburghDispatch in 1919. He then became editor of sports for The Pittsburgh Gazette-Times for several years before joining The Cleveland Press in 1927. He returned to Pittsburgh in 1931 to take the position of sports editor of The Pittsburgh Press, a position he held for 35 years. In his post-retirement years he was associated with the Dardanell Publications of Monroeville, Pa., his native state.

In Pittsburgh circles he was considered a member of the "aristocracy of sportswriters" along with Havey Boyle of the Post-Gazette and Harry Keck of the Sun-Telegraph. But his record spread far beyond local circles. He was president of the U.S. Baseball Writers Association in 1950-51 and president of the Football Writers Association in 1956-57. It is said he is the only person to head both of these organizations. And in 1959 he was honored by the National Headliners Club for his daily sports column and was declared the Sports Writer of the Year in Pennsylvania. As an outstanding sports editor he was a much sought after figure at both public and private affairs. He developed a great reputation as a master of ceremonies and an after-dinner speaker. He became a skilled raconteur and his services were widely acclaimed. Although he ranked baseball and football as the leading sports in the country, as indeed they are, he also belonged to the U.S. Golf Writers and the U.S. Basketball Writers Associations.

Privately he enjoyed fishing and many years ago he acquired ownership of three small islands in the Georgian Bay area of Canada. There he spent his vacations, enjoying the fishing and the reveries that go with the great out-of-doors.

At Dartmouth he was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, joining during his freshman year. His interest in Dartmouth never ceased and as a sports writer he followed the Green's fortunes closely. Writing - sports writing - was with him a way of life.

1923

SIDNEY JOSEPH FLANIGAN died quietly in his sleep in the early morning of Saturday, September 22, at the home of friends whom his wife Alice and he were visiting in New Rochelle, N.Y.

It was typical that Irish dedicated his last day on this earth in extending kindness and good cheer to others by visiting two good friends who were hospitalized in New Rochelle.

The Class of 1923 has lost one of its most unique, Colorful, and affectionately admired members, and the College, Heee.'one of its most loyal, understanding, and helpful alumni, From the day of his arrival at Hanover in the fall of 1919 following graduation from New York Military Academy, to the day of his departure from our midst within just a few months after our 50th Reunion, Irish Probably contributed more to the birth, maturity, and sustenance of 1923's spirit than any member of our Class.

At Dartmouth, Irish was a member of Phi Delta Theta Green Key, the Arts, Rake and Roll, and Casque and Gauntlet. He was an effective member of the debating team and the Players, and manager of the hockey team. He was also the unofficial Mayor of Hanover in 1922-23.

As an alumnus, he continued to serve the Class and College with verve, joy, wit, and effectiveness in many ways, officially and unofficially. He was our Class President.' Assistant Class Agent, and for almost a halfcentury our Newsletter Editor, non-pareil. He served the College as President of the Alumni Council and of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Westchester County, as Secretary of the New York City Association, and as a productive member of many College committees. He was elected News Editor of the Year in 1959 and received the Alumni Award in 1963.

Irish was one of the co-founders of Aquinas House in 1953, and took three months' leave from his insurance business in 1961 to spark a national fund-raising campaign to provide Aquinas House a new home. In 1964, he was inducted into the Sovereign and Papal Order of the Knights of Malta, one of the highest honors bestowed by the Catholic Church on its laity. It was extremely fitting that his long-time good friend, Monsignor William Nolan, head of Aquinas House, officiated at a Memorial Mass for Irish in Hanover on Sunday, September 23, and again at Mass at St. Clare's Church in Scranton on Wednesday morning, September 26, which five of Irish's classmates attended.

For the first few years following his Dartmouth undergraduate days, Irish engaged in a number of occupations in a number of locales from coast to coast. He found his career niche in insurance, a field which he entered in New York City in 1927 and from which he retired as vice president of Frank B. Hall and Co., Inc. in 1968.

In January of 1925, he married Alice W. O'Brien, a graduate of the College of New Rochelle, and resident of Scranton, Pa. Alice, who survives him, and Sid were granted 48 years of love, inseparable companionship, and the utmost realization of life together filled with good health, good spirit, and good deeds. Alice resides at R. D. 1. Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania 18436.

Much of what Irish did for Dartmouth, the Class of 1923, Aquinas House, and other groups is inscribed on the public records. But much more of what he did for hundreds of individuals, including Dartmouth undergraduates, is inscribed privately and indelibly only on their hearts.

1923 and Dartmouth have lost an irreplaceable son, one who brought good cheer, good will, good faith, good spirit, and goodness to everything and to every one he touched. All of us are better because of him.

CHARLES J. ZIMMERMAN '23

JOSEPH CLAUDE LOMBARDI suffered a fatal heart attack on September 12, 1973 in Alicante, Spain, where he and Raffaela were vacationing. He was 71 years old at the time of his death and had previously been in excellent health.

Following graduation and two years in the investment business Joe turned to real estate and specialized in the sale of apartment and office buildings and in assembling land In 1945 he joined the Commercial Sales Division of Brown, Harris and Stevens, prominent New York real estate brokers and in 1955 was elected a vice President of that concern. At the time of his death he was a member of the Sales Brokers Committee of the eal Estate Board of New York.

During World War II Joe served with the 101st Cavalry Regiment, New York State National Guard. He was a member of the New York Athletic Club, Knights of Columbus, and the New York Dartmouth Club.

Joe came to Dartmouth from DeWitt Clinton High School. In college he was on the freshman football and baseball squads and the varsity football squad. He did graduate work at Columbia University and studied architectural design at Mechanics Institute in New York City.

In 1930 Joe married Raffaela L'Episcopo who survives him together with a son Bart '52 and Thayer School '54, a daughter, Carol Ann (Mrs. Charles) Young and five grandchildren.

Joe had particularly looked forward to our 50th Reunion which coincided with the 20th of his son Bart. We were so happy to have seen him again and to have had a chance to talk with him and Raffaela during those busy happy hours in Hanover. To Raffaela and Joe's family we extend the heartfelt sympathy of the Class of 1923 in their great sorrow at his loss.

1924

Our 50th Reunion will be less joyful because we will have to miss the music that was such a big part of JOSEPH LINK EGOLF'S life in college and thereafter. He died of pneumonia after a short illness, on September 5.I think I can not improve on the summary his wife, Claire (whom he married in 1936), wrote for me.

"A first cousin of Max Norton '19, Joe came from Lansingburgh H.S., N.Y., joined KKK fraternity, played in the college band and had his own orchestra ... the Green Seranders. A native of Troy, N.Y. Joe moved to the Pittsburgh area, married Claire Reese, and lived until his death in Rosslyn Farms, a Pittsburgh suburb, where he was elected Justice of the Peace, school Director, and tax collector, and served in all 3 capacities at various times.

"Joe was pianist and arranger for Whitney Kaufmann's orchestra after graduation, then had his own orchestra at the Fort Pitt Hotel, Pittsburgh, and later worked as a salesman for the Ludlow Valve Co. of Troy, N.Y. in their Pittsburgh office. In later years he was a manufacturer's agent for several firms; he was retired at the time of his death.

"He is survived by his wife; a daughter, Joan Egolf Heimlich (Hood); a son, Joseph H. Egolf II;, and by four grandchildren. Classmates will remember Joe's piano playing at the 40th Reunion (classes of 1918-1919-1920 and 1924 in Spaulding Auditorium) in a musical tribute to the past, "Hear the echoes ring ... the sounds of Dartmouth." He also served as President of the Pittsburgh Dartmouth Club ... a loyal supporter of the College." Another interest of Joe's was photography. (I must add that when we were freshmen, not thereafter, I occasionally played drums with the Green Seranders and Joe.)

WILLIAM'MCKAY PATTERSON of Rochester, N.Y. will be remembered by many for his interest in the Players, with whom he served as secretary all four years at Dartmouth; he was also secretary and treasurer of the Lambs in the Junior Year. He died on August 15, of emphysema.

The record is relatively bare. Bill was born in Rochester, N.Y., on August 1, 1901 and so just passed his 72d birthday. He came from the West High School. After college, he worked with Hayden Co., a Rochester furniture manufacturer, becoming its president until it. closed in the mid-19505. He then formed a partnership with Donald Torrens to "design hundreds of home interiors in Rochester and in Florida."

A special interest was exhibiting show horses throughout the U.S. and Canada, especially White Cloud Platinum Star, a three-gaited horse, which won 27 championships; also a pair of heavy hackneys. Duration and Speculation, won special honors shown singly and as a pair.

Bill is survived by his wife Helen Ellison Patterson, whom he married in 1926, and by one son Ellison. The Patterson family was one of Rochester's earliest families.

George was in the petroleum distribution field for 11 years, then was sales manager in the rubberwear business and then president of a frozen food company. He was in personnel work at B & E Tool Co., Inc. in Southwick, Mass. until his retirement in 1965 due to poor health.

He is survived by his wife, the former Margaret Janes, whom he married in 1950; also by his daughter, Mrs. Brenda Oldhan-King, and by Mrs. Barbara Eglin, daughter by his first wife, the former Frances Leonard, who is deceased.

The Class of 1926 extends its sincere sympathy to George's family.

1965

We cannot know how much we learn From those who never will return, Until a flash of unforeseen Remembrance falls on what has been.

Edwin Arlington Robinson

He had a skill that few of us completely master - that of avoiding boredom. That is the thing I remember best about him. From the first day we met as freshmen at Dartmouth, it seemed he always had some project some plan, some dream to keep himself and those around him from stagnating.

JEFF DAVIS '65

1973

In a tragic mountain accident in Mt. McKinley Park. Alaska, DAVID BROWN ALLEN of Altadena, Calif., died July 25 of this year. He disappeared when he left Camp Denali, where he was employed, for a day's hike in the mountains.

David was a graduate of Pasadena High School where he served as the California Scholastic Federation Sealbearer. While at Dartmouth, he was elected Phi Beta Kappa and received the Story Prize for the best honors thesis in philosophy (the only honors philosophy major in the Class of 1973). He was to enter Boalt Hall, University of California, Berkeley School of Law in September

Besides David's outstanding scholastic record both in and around the academic community, he possessed a certain love for and admiration of the out-of-doors. David was an experienced back-packer and hiker with hiking experience both in the High Sierra and the melodic mountains of New Hampshire. A follower of Christian Science doctrine, David was the epitomy of an intellectual tolerant who could comfort practically any stray individual. It is ironic to note that on an earlier hike during the summer in McKinley Park, he found the nest of a surfbird, one of the few such nests ever found in the world, and reported it to Charles J. Ott, an eminent biologist in the park. His keen interest in capturing Nature at its best through free-lance photography also attested to his unbounded concern for the environment we all share.

It is, indeed, comforting to know that the Dartmouth Experience played so vital a role in David's short but memorable life, as expressed in his own mother's words. "Dave loved Dartmouth and we are so glad he went there - and had such a good experience. No family could ever have been blessed with a dearer son - and we are holding him close in our hearts."

David is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel J. Allen, 1814 Midlothian Drive, and a brother John '71 who is attending Tuck School. David and Caroline Wakeman, a former exchange student from California to the College, were planning to be married next summer The Class of 1973 wishes to extend to each and every member of the Allen Family its sincerest sympathy. He will be greatly missed by all.
