ROB ROY CARRUTHERS was born on August 22 1920 in New Rochelle, N.Y. He entered Dartmouth from Mamaroneck (N.Y.) High School in 1938. Roy's undergraduate education and varsity tennis career were interrupted through enlistment in the United States Air Force in March of 1941. His initial assignment was as a combat navigator with the famous Nineteenth Bombardment Group which had a distinguished flight record in the Southwest Pacific during World War II. One of Roy's most notable accomplishments was navigation of the bomber that flew Gen. Douglas MacArthur, his family, and staff in March of 1942 from the Philippines to Australia as the Japanese took control of the islands. Shortly thereafter, he repeated that flight for the late President Maneul L. Quezon of the Philippine Commonwealth, his family, and staff. Roy remained in the Army Air Force for four and a half years with additional service in the Mediterranean Theater and with the War Department in Washington. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel and received the Silver Star, Distinguished Flying Cross with two Oak Leaf Clusters, the Air Medal with one Cluster, and a Presidential Unit Citation with four Clusters.

He was a member of the American Marketing Association and N.Y. Dartmouth Club.

Roy is survived by his widow Mary and three children. a son Rob Roy Carruthers Jr., and two daughters. Mrs. Lee Randhava and Janet Carruthers. Dartmouth and the Class of '42 have suffered a great loss with the death of Roy Carruthers on July 26, 1973.

GEORGE RICHARD LITTLE died in Hanover January I after a long fight with cancer. He had spent most of his business career as an electronics executive, md -it the time of his death was the New Hampshire distributor for Executone, Inc.

At Dartmouth, George was a member of the football teams in 1944 and 1945 and was captain of the lacrosse team. He was a member of Sigma Chi and of the Dragon Honarary Society. After graduation, he served two years as a lietuenant in the U.S. Navy, before becoming a teacher and head lacrosse coach at Tabor Academy.

George's entire life was built around his wonderful amilv and service to his fellow man. Despite his many accomplishments, he perhaps took greatest pride in the 'act that he and all three of his sons attained the rank ' Eagle Scout. He was chairman of the Board of Deacons of his church, had been a Scoutmaster and exccutive committee member of the North Bay Council ' Boy Scouts, and was president of the Dartmouth Lacrosse Boosters Club.

Lacrosse was one of the great loves of George's life. He started and coached the sport at various schools in England, and at the time of his death was working with Seaver Peters and Dud Hendrick on plans for sending the current team to Florida for its first spring trip there.

George is survived by his wife Rosamonde, three sons. Bradford '73 (who was captain of the lightweight crew last spring). Jeffrey '75, and Richard, and a daughter Cynthia, all of Hanover, as well as his mohter, a brother. Kenneth '51, and a sister.

It is not possible in this limited space to sum up what George meant to the Class and to every organization of became a part. We can do no better than to submit the following from a long article in The Boston Globe following his death:

"The George Littles of this world work hard and almost anonymously while shrugging off the bad breaks that eventually come to us all. They devote thousands of spare time hours as scoutmasters and chuchr workers and helping kids and never talk about It ..."George will be greatly missed by his classmates and by many people, in many places, whom he helped throughout his lifetime.

Word was recently received of the tragic and untimely death of PHILIP ROBERT HAWES. Phil was reported missing in the Alpental Ski Area in the State of Washington in January of 1973. His remains were discovered this past August following seven months of extensive search.

While at Dartmouth Phil was a member of Phi Kappa Psi and was very active in the D.O.C., the Ski Patrol, and Cabin & Trail and his great love for the outdoors and nature followed him after graduation. Those years following Dartmouth were spent in the Northwest where he nurtured his feelings for the wilderness, the mountains, remote valleys and seas, and sharpened his skills on skis and as a skin diver. His last employment was as a commercial fisherman in Petersburg, Alaska.

Phil was a man with great passion for the beauty of our natural environment before such feelings became popular. His respect for the wilderness and our native surroundings are the legacy he left and his Dartmouth family warmly remembers him.

To his mother Jean E. Hawes and sister Ann Adele Bard, the Class extends its deepest sympathy.
