JOSEPH LELAND RICHARDSON, affectionately and without exception, known as Kid, died November 17, 1973. He had stopped in the local supermarket where he suffered a heavy fall, struck his head severely, and two hours later died without having regained consciousness.

Kid was bom in Boston March 10, 1887, and prepared for Dartmouth at Roxbury Latin School. In college he excelled as an athlete, playing on the freshman football team, three years as shortstop in varsity baseball, his favorite sport, and two years with the hockey team. His fraternity was Alpha Delta Phi.

Kid continued his interest in baseball by playing on local teams when his business kept him in Chicago. Others on the team were Percy Skillin '08, and such future big league stars as Walter Eckersall and Casey Stengel.

Kid's business connections can be divided into three sections. First, from graduation to 1916, with positions in Boston, Chicago, and St. Louis, in the tobacco industry: secondly, 1916 to 1923, in St. Louis, in insurance: third, 1923 on, forming his own company in Los Angeles in insurance and real estate. Kid was married December 1, 1919 at Los Angeles to Florence Marie Eichholz who survives him and who continues to make her home at 521 Highland Avenue, Los Angeles, Calif. 90036. In these hours of shock and sorrow, 'OB sends to Florence its heartfelt sympathy and love.

1911

SARGHNT FLINT EATON passed away in Bridgeport, Conn., on Tuesday, January 29. Sarge was born in Boston and joined our class from Newton with his brother Fred '11 in 1907. Two other brothers also went to Dartmouth, William C. '17 and Austin C. '23, and in due course they were followed to Hanover by five grandsons.

The combination of rugged Newton athletics and the Dartmouth adherents were no strangers to each other so as might be expected Sarge and his brother combined those two elements. For four years Sarge was an active participant in hockey and baseball, first-as a freshman and then as a member of the varsity teams.

The son of a merchant , he became one himself and a very successful one - five years with Filenes in Boston, then half-owner of the Eaton Company in Portland, Me., then to Sak's-3.4th Street, N.Y., as assistant to the president and in 1926 to Bridgeport, Conn., as vice president and merchandising manager of Howlands, the largest store there. There followed his election to the presidency in which position he remained until his retirement from active business in 1958.

His allied activities and civic responsibilities included executive committee and vice president of the National Retail Merchants Association, similar offices in the Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce, trustee and chairman of the Audit Committee Peoples Savings Bank, director and chairman of various committees of the Connecticut National Bank. His contributions to the community were largely centered around the Bridgeport Hospital as vice president, chairman of the Fund Raising Committee and a member of the Executive and Building Committees. He was also a director of the Connecticut Expenditure Council and the Advisory Committee, visiting Nurse Assn.

His leisure moments were devoted to his family with some time taken out for Dartmouth affairs. He started his official responsibilities at Dartmouth when he served as vice president of the Class of 1911 in his freshman and sophomore years. As an alumnus he was a member of the 1911 executive committee and served as vice president and treasurer.

He was never much of a club man but indulged in hobbies of golf, riding, billiards, and reading. He was a member of the Fairfield Branch of Rotary.

In 1915 Sarge married Esther Denholm Cooke of Newton who survives him. They had a son S. Sheffield, a Rutgers graduate, and a daughter Elizabeth with a Vassar degree. The family suggested that in lieu of flowers, in memory of Sargent contributions might be made to the Bridgeport Hospital Development Fund, Grant Street, Bridgeport, Conn.

1912

OTTO BRESKY, who spent his winters in Florida in recent years, died at Miami Heart Institute in Miami on January 25 at the age of 84.

Otto was born in Minneapolis, Minn., on May 11, 1889. He prepared for college at Central High School in Minneapolis. His father died when Otto was 14, necessitating his securing scholarship aid for a college education which was his desire. This was offered him at Dartmouth where he played on the varsity football team as a freshman. Still lacking sufficient funds he left college after the Christmas holidays and took a position as a salesman in Montreal. His career from that date on reads like an Horatio Alger story.

All his life Otto Bresky was engaged in the flour mìllng business. Starting as a salesman in Boston for the James Quirk Milling Company of Minneapolis of which his brother Harry was the local manager, he later formed with his two brothers the Seaboard Flour Company. Otto was made manager of the Boston firm. Expansion beyond brokerage of flour soon followed in the purchases made from mills on their own account and the development of their own brands. Otto purchased all the flour for their two offices in New York and Boston. They maintained mills in Kansas and Missouri, and later, after the death of his two brothers in the early 1920's, additional mills in Tennessee, Florida, Virginia, Louisiana, and Buffalo, N.Y. At the time of his death the firm, now called Seaboard Allied Milling Corporation, maintained mills in Sierra Leone, Guiana, Liberia. Nigeria and Ecuador. Otto was credited with effecting one of the major changes in the industry leading to the introduction of Kansas flour to bakers in eastern United States. The fact that his was the fourth largest milling company in the United States was in large measure a reflection of the imagination, zest, and salesmanship he inculcated throughout the organization. He retired in 1973 as chairman of the board and as a director of the business he founded in 1921.

He was a director of the Dania, Fla., bank and was an advisor and consultant in the baking industry. He was active in charitable and civic affairs, was a member of Belmont Country Club, a founder of the Westview Country Club of Miami Beach, and was affiliated with Temple Israel in Boston.

On November 7, 1917 Otto Bresky married Mynette Tannenholz of Boston. Mynette died in 1967. He is survived by two sons, a daughter, seven grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Services were held on January 30, 1974 in Brookline, Mass.

1913

JAMES ALFRED HEMPHILL of Westerly. R.I., passed away February 15. He was born August 14, 1889 in Westerly and attended the local high school before entering Dartmouth. After receiving his B.S. degree in 1913, he became a buyer and salesman for T. N. Diskensen and E. L. Marr Bros., both of Westerly.

The family suggested that donations in James' memory may be made to the College.

Following graduation Verg served in the Army as a first lieutenant, Infantry. In 1917 he married Mary Clarke of York, Neb., who was a student at the University of Wisconsin and who survives him as does a daughter Virginia (Mrs. Carlyle Wilson) of Omaha, and a son Edgar '49 of Woodland Hills, Calif., in addition to five grandchildren and two great-grandchidren A brother Voyle was a member of 1915.

Verg's entire business career was with the Fairmont Food Co. of which he was vice president and a director at the time of his retirement in 1955. He also served as an officer and director of the Nebraska Dairy Council, the National Dairy Council, and the National Merchandizing Advisory Council, and served on the board of the International Dairy Association.

Those of us who had not seen Verg for many years will always remember him as one of the most popular and outstanding members of our class.

THOMAS BURLEIGH DAVIDSON (March 26, 1898 - December 3, 1973) was born in York, Me., and after many years of law practice in Jersey City, N.J., returned to York in 1954. He fashioned another chapter in his interesting career as a farmer with a law office in the Village of York, having become by acclaim a member of the Bar in the State of Maine. He continued to live a busy but more leisurely life in the area he loved.

Tom entered Dartmouth in the autumn of 1916 from Berwick Academy, and at the outset he was popular and highly regarded. He played freshman and varsity football, won his letter, joined Theta Delta Chi, and later the Sphinx Senior Society. As was the case with so many of his generation he entered the service of his country in World War I, first as an enlisted man in the U.S. Navy but a football injury brought about his medical discharge. Not to be denied, he then enlisted in the U.S. Army in the Air Service.

After a span of service he returned to Dartmouth, graduated, and went to New York Law School from which he obtained his law degree in 1923. Then began his New Jersey law practice.

In 1927 he married Myra Lea whom he lost in 1947, remaining a widower for three years until he married Rita Theora who survives him. In New Jersey the young lawyer was a busy man. At various times he served as Jersey City's chairman of the Red Cross; president of the Council of Social Agencies; and in several other agencies and civic organizations - evidence of the high regard which was felt for him in his city.

When he "retired" to York he ran a big farm and conducted his law practice simultaneously in the Village. He was a virile, friendly man of many friendships who liked to keep busy, serving on Berwick Academy's Board of Trustees; the York Improvement Society; and in a host of other positions.

His associations with Dartmouth were many. He assisted in the encouragement and selection of can- didates for admission; served in the raising of funds for the College; and participated in Dartmouth affairs whenever possible. In the fall of 1973, while an ill man, he insisted on visiting Dartmouth and Hanover to see how things were going. He had an abiding faith in his college and great pride in its accomplishments. He was proud to have his only son Tom follow him and graduate in 1953.

To all the Davidsons, his widow, his son and his family, the Class extends its deepest sympathy for the great loss they have sustained, and shares in their grief.

WILLIAM HURLEY JR., retired Professor of Physics from Fordham University, died January 7 at the age of 78 in the Union Hospital in the Bronx, N.Y. He had served from 1923-1963 on the Fordham faculty and was awarded an M.S. degree by that institution. He entered Dartmouth in 1916 but left during World War I and . later transferred to Fordham University from which, he graduated in 1922.

Fordham gave him its Bene Merenti Medal, awarded to outstanding teachers and the Fordham College Alumni Association awarded him its Achievement in Science Award.

Professor Emeritus Hurley leaves his widow Eve, a son William P. Jr and a daughter Mrs. Mary Alice Enders.

The Class of 1920 at Dartmouth extends its sympathy to the family for the loss of a loved one eminent in the field of education and science.

ROGER NUTT (September 15, 1897 - January 21, 1974) was born in Cliffside Park, N.J. He entered Dartmouth in 1916 but withdrew from college in the spring of 1917 to serve in the American Ambulance Field Service. Later he enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps when the United States entered into World War I.

He studied law after his Dartmouth experience, enrolling in the New York University School of Law where he earned his degree in 1921. Thereafter he practiced law first in New York and then in New Jersey.

He was a member of the American, the New York Bar, and the New Jersey Bar Associations, and was admitted to practice in several Federal courts. In 1924 he married Elizabeth Welch who predeceased him in 1973. To them two children were born: Elizabeth and Edgar Alan, who graduated from Dartmouth in 1950.

Roger and Elizabeth lived in Haekensack for a time, then took up residence in Englewood, N.J. They were both active in community affairs, especially in the affairs of the Episcopal Church which they attended. About ten years ago Roger retired and with his wife moved to Coffin's Plantation, Frogmore, S.C.

It is interesting to note that the Nutt family had many connections with Dartmouth. Three uncles, Alfred, Howard, and John attended as did two brothers, Alfred and Henry, members of the Classes of 1911 and 1913, respectively, in addition to.his son.

In college Roger was a member of Sigma Chi fraternity, and in his retirement he followed the affairs of the College closely and feelingly.

To his son and daughter and the other immediate members of his family who survive him his classmates extend their sympathy.

HENRY LAURENCE HARTER died after a long illness in Nassau Hospital, L.1., on February 19.

His family appreciates the many cards sent by classmates during his final days when perhaps Larry was not able to fully understand this final gesture of friendship for a very friendly man. His picture in the 40-year book is one to remember, by contrast. Classmate Don Coyle. was one of the friends who were named as "always" knowing his address.

Larry was a vestryman for 25 years at the Church of the Ascension, Rockville Centre, N.Y., and also served on the Financial Committee of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island. His friends in churchwork describe him as a "Christian gentleman," to summarize his life.

He was born on January 13, 1902 in Brooklyn, N.Y., where his father was a teacher. He attended Erasmus Hall HS and the Pawling (N.Y.) School. In college he was active in swimming, fencing, was a cheer leader our senior year, elected to Green Key and a member of Alpha Delta Phi, and Sphinx.

Turning back to automobiles, Larry was president, in 1956, of Brown-Harter Cadillac, Inc. His social life included many good works: treasurer of the Salvation Army (Nassau County), his church work as noted above; President Truman cited him, during World War 11, for his work with the American Red Cross. He was an active member in Kiwanis.

Larry is survived by his wife Dorothy (Gray) whom he married in 1928, by Dorothy Ann (1929) and Barbara (1931) and Wendell (1941); also by a brother Eugene and ten grandchildren. Friends may remember him by gifts to the Heart Fund or to his church (above).

The record of JAMES NORMAN KITTLE is meagre, although attempts were made to correct that both when Jim's two sons were students at the College and when we were notified of his death on November 28 of last year.

James Kittle was born on May 9, 1901. He lived in New Canaan, Conn, much of his life; his work career was with the New York Telephone Co. in N.Y. City, until he retired. Our booklet "1924 Went to War" does not mention his service in the Navy with the antisubmarine aviation group with rank of lieutenant commander. In college, he was a member of Phi Sigma Kappa.

Surviving are his wife the former Virginia Snyder whom he married in 1942 and a son James Kent Kittle '65. Peter Norman Kittle '68 died in 1969.

Mase was with us in Hanover for three years and was a member of Beta Theta Pi and Green Key.

Almost his entire career after college was with the American Export Line, first as a licensed officer and master of various ships, and then in labor relations, being director of Employment and Labor Relations Manager of Marine Personnel at his retirement in 1966.

Mase was a lieutenant commander in the Merchant Marine Naval Reserve and a member of the Marine Society of the City of New York.

He is survived by a daughter Mrs. Emily Mason Kahn, two grandchildren and a sister Mrs. Mary Mason McGarvey of East Orange.

I am grateful that he was my brother."

1926

EDWARD CURTIS MCCLINTOCK died February 16 at his home, 2455 Avenida San Valle, Tucson, Ariz.

Ed was born in Kansas in 1903, but moved with his family to Bartlesville, Okla., during his childhood. He came to Dartmouth from Lake Forest Academy.

He was a Rufus Choate Scholar and graduated Magna Cum Laude.

Thomas & Company of New York City in the Insurance field, before returning to Bartlesville in 1929 to join with his father in the Crystal Ice & Cold Storage Company (later Crystal Ice & Frozen Food Lockers, Inc.), a family firm of many years dealing in various refrigeration equipment, and which he took over after his father's death in 1947.

In Bartlesville, Ed was very active in civic, charitable and church affairs. He was the first president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, a director of the Chamber of Commerce, and a member of Rotary, and the Vestry of St. Luke's Episcopal Church. He also served on the executive committee of the National Ice Advertising Association.

During World War II, he served with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and he stayed in the reserve until 1952 when he retired with the rank of lieutenant colonel with an Army Commendation Citation and Medal

Here he was active, as at Bartlesville, in many things, particularly the Phi Delta Theta Alumni Association of Southern Arizona and in St. Phillips of the Hills Episcopal Church.

He was a member of the Old Pueblo Club of downtown Tucson.

Here was a man of keen mind, integrity, sincerity and high ideals with a complete devotion to his family and friends. Ed was also a man of strong convictions, and one knew exactly where he stood on any issue. He fought a gallant struggle for many years against the debilitating effects of emphysema, and remained undaunted to the end in his efforts to lead an active and full life which fortunately was granted to him.

Ed married Margaret Zerelda Lamb of Tulsa in 1931. She survives him as does his sister, Barbara (Mrs. Marshall Joy), of Oklahoma City, two sons, Thomas L., Professor of Philosophy at Temple University and Michael C., Professor of Labor Law at Gonzaga University of Spokane, and a daughter Meredith (Mrs. John H. Maharg) of Odessa, Texas, and six grandchildren. Ed's many friends of Dartmouth extend sincerest sympathies to Margaret and her family.

All of us who knew Ed McClintock are better for his friendship.

JOHN AUSTIN ATWOOD died on July 1, 1973 after a long illness. A note from his wife Margaret says, "Johnny died of a brain tumor which was something that he couldn't, even with his strength and courage, beat."

John was a community-minded man who gave much of his time to community and service organizations for the 20 years in which he lived in Deephaven, Wayzata, Minn. He was a member of the Deephaven Council for a dozen years and chairman of the health and welfare and the sanitation committees. His business for 24 years had been with Harrison & Smith Co., in printing and lithography. Wayzata was Jack's home town, and it was from the Blake School that he entered Dartmouth where he was a member of Sigma Chi.

He served as a pilot in the Air Force during World War II in the Pacific theatre. He used to tell about a record no other pilot could establish, in that he personally held up the end of the war for 36 hours.

He came to Dartmouth from Dean Academy, where he had spent one year after attending Bulkeley High School in his native Hartford. He received his master's degree in physical ed. at Springfield College. In 1959 Joe was named to the Bulkeley Hall of Fame for his outstanding play in football, basketball, and baseball. He was described by his high school coach as the most natural athelete he had ever coached, an acclocade that we were to hear frequently during his play at Dartmouth.

Perhaps it was natural that once free of World War II where Joe served in the army, he made a career in athletics, coaching for seven years at Laconia High School in New Hampshire from 1951-57, and finally, for almost 20 years at Wethersfield High School in Connecticut. Joe instituted Wethersfield's first football team in 1957, and built it into a consistent Class winner, capturing five Central Conn. Interscholastic League Championships. He experienced only two losing seasons as football coach. In the early 1960's he also became coach of the wrestling team and later served as varsity tennis coach for two years.

Members of the family include his wife, Mrs. Lillian (Echenique) Cottone: two sons. Marc R. and Joseph R.; three daughters. Carol Lynne Cottone, Michele Cottone, and Beth Ann Cottone. Memorial donations may be made to the Joseph F. Cottone Memorial Scholarship Fund in care of Wethersfield High School.

1949

Regrettably, the winter of 1974 brings the unfortunate news of the death of another 49'er, a downeast New Englander. JOHN ANDREW DOUKAS succumbed unexpectedly on January 10, 1974 at The Mercy Hospital, Hamilton, Ohio after being admitted for surgery. His loss will be felt by many institutions of higher learning - most immediately by Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where John was Associate Professor of Economics at the School of Business Ad- ministration.

His academic accomplishments were far-reaching, starting at Yale and Holy Cross as a V-12 student in 1943-45. After active duty as an officer with the United States Navy John (known as "Duke" in Hanover times) finished his undergraduate studies at the Big Green and then returned to his native Maine to teach high school mathematics and coaching in Kennebunk for one year. Thereafter, John's aspirations led him to Purdue University where he received his master's and doctor's degree as a Ford Foundation Fellow and a Krannert Fellow while teaching economics and money and banking.

During his career John's expertise led him to a fellowship at The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago as a result of his doctoral dissertation on "A Model of Commercial Banking and System Behavior." More recently, John earned the distinction of holding a fellowship to the Stonier Graduate School of Banking at Rutgers University in 1970.

John leaves many survivors: his widow Rita; two sons Andrew and William; his parents Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Doukas of Portland, Me.; as well as two sisters and five brothers.

We shall miss Duke - he was a 49'er of whom we could be truly proud!

HOWARD JOHN MARKT died on January 3 in Shaker Heights, Ohio, after suffering a heart attack in late December. He was 43 years old.

Electronic Periodicals, Inc., was in the business of publishing trade periodicals. At the time of his death Howie was president and publisher of the company. Being the head of a small company doesn't leave much free time, but Howie did devote extensive efforts to scouting. He was a Scout Master and actively participated with his boys, all of whom were scouts, in the camping and outdoor events of the troup.

Howie is survived by his wife, Lois; five sons, John, Steven, Timothy, Joseph and Thomas; daughters Lynne, Julie and Laura; and his father. Our class extends sincerest sympathies to the entire family.
