Our devoted secretary, JAMES FRANCIS MALLEY, passed away on October 10 at the Portland, Me., hospital. He had made good recovery after a long hospital visit several months ago but then a fall and broken hip were too much for him to survive in his weakened condition.

He is survived by four children and his widow Connie of 4250 Ocean Gait Dr., Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. 33308. His family enjoyed many trips to Hanover for fall football and spring reunions. In between trips, the musical family would gather round the piano and sing and play various musical instruments to fill the air with Dartmouth songs, which kept me (I appreciate being asked to write this obituary) carrying on the Dartmouth tradition as a '56er.
Hy was active in handball and hockey at Dartmouth, and kept his hockey going by coaching at UVM in the '30s {The Burlington Free Press reran a picture of one of his teams recently).

The main quality of his life was his devotion to his family who would appreciate continuing to hear from his Dartmouth friends.

1923
The news that JOHN CARLIN ALLEN died at his home in Oakland, Calif, on August 31 writes the inevitable "Finis" to the saga of a colorful and beloved classmate. John had for several years been a cheerful invalid following a series of debilitating heart attacks.
Johnny came to Dartmouth from Denver and quickly gained prominence as a fine athlete, leader in class activities, and talented wit. He was a football and track star; vice president and later alumni secretary of our class; a member of Psi Upsilon, and Casque and Gauntlet; and the co-conspirator, manager, and straight-man in the many hilarious activities generated by the great team of Flanigan, Carbaugh, and Allen.
After graduation John sampled a variety of jobs and traveled for some time in Europe and Russia before settling down in New York as a statistician with a Wall Street firm. Out of this experience he developed and patented "Technigraph," a stock market computing device which he marketed through a company he founded and directed. This accomplishment led, in turn, to a direct commission in the Research and Development office of the Navy following Pearl Harbor. He rose to the rank of commander, USNR, during a five-year tour of duty which included post-war service in Japan. Following his discharge in 1947 Johnny entered upon a new career as a professional fund raiser for hospitals and educational institutions which he successfully followed until his retirement in 1967. His death preceeded by one week his 74th birthday. His marriage in 1932 to Beatrice Rowe was terminated by divorce. John is survived by two fine sons, John Carlin Allen Jr. and Preston Rowe Allen. '59.

He had undergone an operation in Memorial Hospital, New York, in March, but had recovered sufficiently to go to his beloved home and gardens in Biarritz, France, as was his custom each year between May and October. Unfortunately, his health began to deteriorate during the summer and he was forced to return to New York in August.
Bob was born in New York City on July 13, 1904. He entered Dartmouth from the Horace Mann School for Boys at Riverdale, N.Y. where he had been outstanding as a scholar, a member of the Glee Club and, president of an excellent Dramatic Club. He had played on the varsity football team his senior year. At Dartmouth, Bob was a member of The Players, participating in most of their serious productions. He was on the freshman football squad and a member of LeCercle Francais.
After graduation in 1926, Bob joined the family firm Louchheim, Minton & Company and became a member of the New York Stock Exchange a year later. In 1929 he was made a partner of the firm where he continued until 1941 when interrupted by World War II. Thereafter he returned to the investment business variously with Carlisle, DeCoppet & Company, and Burnham & Company until his retirement in 1967. During World War II, he served in the Civil Air Patrol and as a field director for the American Red Cross in the European Theater.
In 1932, he was a member of the United States two-man Bobsled Team which won a bronze medal in the Olympic Winter Games held at Lake Placid, N.Y.
After his retirement, in addition to other civic and community activities, he became deeply involved as a volunteer in the Memorial Hospital.
Those of us who knew Bob as far back as his Horace Mann School days remember him distinctly for his charm, dignity, maturity and modesty, and with it all a delightful sense of humor. Throughout his life he always retained these fine qualities and an acute sensitivity to other people's needs and troubles. Bob had a flair and a joie de vivre that marked him as a rare individual. Not only did he appreciate art, and had a flawless taste for the beautiful things of life, but he also created. In his leisure time he painted and did needlework.
In 1950, Bob was married to Mallory Mixsell whom many of his class will remember meeting at the 25th and 30th Reunions. His greatest joy and fulfillment was with his lovely wife who now survives him. The Class of 1926 extends sincerest sympathies to her in this- great loss.
Just eight days before his death, Bob was named a member of the 1926 Memorial Book Committee, having always sustained a particular interest in this class project. It would be most fitting that any expression of memory by his Dartmouth friends might be expressed-through the 1926 Memorial Book Fund of Library.
