DEORMOND (TUSS) MCLAUGHRY, who for more than a half century gave football everything except the secret of where he got his nickname, died November 26 at his home after a long illness.

Tuss, who coached football teams at Westminster (his alma mater), Amherst, Brown, and Dartmouth from 1915 until 1955, was a moving force behind the American Football Coaches Association, serving as president in 1936 and as secretary-treasurer from 1940 until 1966.

He retired from coaching after the 1954 season but continued as chairman of the physical education department at Dartmouth until his retirement in 1960. At that time, he assumed full-time duties as executive secretary of the AFCA.

Nearly 40 years ago, he told the members of the American Football Coaches Association: "There is no profession I can think of in which the individual is between so many lines of counterfire as the football coach.

"On the one hand, he is teaching a game which re- quires all the attributes of a real man to play. His scholars are boys of idealistic age ... he is expected, and should be able, to handle these boys as he would his own boy. Yet, on the other hand he is forced ... to put on a show to please the public and to present a team that is attractive enough to draw ample gate receipts.

"He must keep in mind the fact that he is representing an educational institution, that the boys under his care are, theoretically at least, playing football only as an extra-curricular pastime and he must never for a moment lose the large perspective."

Tuss was born in Chicago, Ill., on May 10, 1893, although he grew up in Sharon," Pa. He attended Michigan State in 1911 and 1912, then transferred to Westminster College in New Wilmington, Pa. He also took a law degree from Northeastern University in 1932 (one of four academic degrees he held) but he preferred to stay on the gridiron rather than in court.

He coached at Westminster in 1916 and 1921 and played professional football with the Massillon (O.) Tigers where he had as teammates Knute Rockne of Notre Dame, Short Miller of Penn State, Bob Peck of Pitt, and Harvard's Charley Brickley. Those were the days of the turbulent rivalry between Massillon and the Canton Bulldogs and was the beginning of modern-day pro football.

Amherst picked him as football coach in 1922 and he stayed until 1925, his teams always in the thick of the fight for the "Little Three" title and his last eleven lost only to Princeton. His record brought him an invitation to head the staff at Brown, so he moved to Providence and stayed for 15 seasons.

His first eleven in 1926 were the famed "Brown Iron Men," so-called because they played practically every game without a substitution. It was the only unbeaten team in the school's history. Two of his later teams at Brown, in 1928 and 1932, lost only one game.

Dartmouth tapped him in 1941 to succeed Col. Earl Blaik and he had remained in the Hanover area ever since. He coached at Dartmouth for two seasons before a lapse of two years in his long stay because of the war. He left the service as a lieutenant colonel in the Marines.

He continued as coach at Dartmouth until he retired in 1955 when the Big Green turned over, the physical education program to him and brought Bob Blackman from Denver.

Tuss coached football at Dartmouth for a total of 12 years. His outstanding teams were in 1948 and 1949, the first seasons in which Dartmouth won six major games in a season. His overall record at Dartmouth was 44 victories, 58 losses and three ties. At Brown, his teams during 15 seasons had a record of 76-58-5.

In 1955, Dartmouth conferred an honorary degree on him and in 1962, he was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame.

In 1940, Tuss coached the College All-Stars in New York to a victory over the champion Giants. He also was coach of the Chicago All-Stars who defeated the Cleveland Rams in 1946, and for four years he co- coached with Andy Kerr the Eastern All-Stars in the San Francisco Shrine Game. It was, in a way, a reunion, because as a youngster McLaughry had played against four of Kerr's Pittsburgh Central High School teams from 1907 through 1910.

McLaughry married the former Florence Jackson of Chicago in 1911. She survives him. Also surviving are a daughter, Mrs. Jane Mahoney of Walpole, Mass., two sons, John J. of Providence, R.I. (who followed his father's footsteps into coaching at Amherst and Brown), and Robert D. McLaughry '44 of Hanover, and seven grandchildren.

Faculty

After a brief illness FRANCOIS DENOEU, Professor of French, Emeritus, aged 76, died January 8 at West Palm Beach, Fla.

He combined to an extraordinary degree the Ernest Martin Hopkins ideal of scholar-teacher-man-of-the- world. When driving from Hanover to Florida or about the Gaspe, he would seek out a motel with an adequate table for writing. His production was enormous: 25 books, novels, plays, poetry, history, textbooks, and an American-French dictionary, the work of 30 years with a manuscript of 16,000 pages making a pile almost as tall as he. Each of the 90,000 English and 50,000 French words was entered on an index card, alphabetically, and eventually typed in manuscript form. He actively regreted that the 20 or more English- French dictionaries are misleading or inadequate for Americans, for he believed whimsically with Oscar Wilde that Americans and English have everything in common except the language. The French dictionary writers learned English at Oxford or elsewhere in England. Hence faire attraper is translated as "get a wigging," British for American "get bawled out." The great Denoeu disappointment was that no one was willing to finance publication.

As a teacher, he expended so much energy in the classroom that he exhausted his students. A disciplinarian, he wielded an iron fist softened by a velvet glove. With good-natured severity he would pound the table, and a student who spoke French like a Spanish cow (parlait Francais comme une vache espagnole) would develop an accent and a rhythm almost capable of being understood in Paris. With another pounding, the whole class would chant over and over again a word or sentence with the professor as choirmaster. He provided the Hanover public with free illustrated lectures about French art, architecture and music. He conducted community French classes, revitalized the Cercle Francais, and broadcast on the local radio station. At coffee at the College or downstreet, ideas sparked conversation with the help of Gallic gesticulation.

Man-of-the-world: He held three degrees from the Sorbonne; attended the University of Edinburgh, taught English, French, and Latin in Scotland and French at U.S. Army bases in England and France, served in the French army as captain in World War I; won the Croix de Guerre; in World War II served as a civilian of the Armed Forces Institute in Washington; astounded French Canadians in the Gaspe with his French French; returned frequently to France to seek out the best urban and bucolic values; and puttered in his garden while wearing a Navy officers cap or a GI fatigue hat or an overseas French captain's hat or a beret. He was Laureate of the French Academy and Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur.

When not gesticulating, Francois Denoeu, pen in hand, was bent over paper. Few ever saw him in repose when he might appear round-faced and rotund; he was almost always mobile. Not one to allude to hard work, he would, if asked, reveal his secret. A simple answer: when he played, he played. When he worked, he worked. Even when on the job nine hours a day, he forced himself to write no fewer than ten pages. On vacation, he wrote from 9 to 5. Nonetheless in his highly disciplined life he found time to plant trees, marry Suzanne Chaise, raise two daughters, play with his grandchildren, and escort his family to his native Pas-de-Calais for reunions. Some professors can always find reasons for not working, particularly after they have made a lot of money by publishing; and they may become indulgently mellow, if not overripe. But not Francois Denoeu. He was still maturing when he died suddenly. As he once said in a delightful mixed metaphor, "Every day I drive myself, sometimes by the seat of my pants to my desk, and there I work."

JOHN HURD '21

1907

FRED HAROLD BALDWIN died December 6, 1974 at his winter home in Bradenton, Fla.

He was born in Manchester, N.H., on February 9, 1885 and entered the College from Somerville Latin School. He represented the Class in the Cane Spree and was on the class football teams. Following graduation Fred studied at Harvard University and received a diploma from Massachusetts State Normal School at Hyannis in 1917 in preparation for a teaching career.

Fred married Maude Craig in 1923 in Quincy, Mass. There were two children, Fred Jr., born in 1924, an Craig, born in 1929.

Fred's father, Fred C., was a member of the Class of 1881, and his brother James was the Class of 1910.

Education was Fred's principal vocation, although he was engaged in the business of making granite monuments for a period. His teaching career included being principal in several high schools and he was a member of the faculty of Hyannis State Normal School and president of the Alumni Association of that school. He was also director of the Massachusetts Association of Educational Methods.

Fred was a Republican, attended the Congregational Church, and was a member of Beta Theta Pi, Mason, and Elks. He was president of the Cape Cod Anglers Sportsmans Club as well as director of the Cape Cod Tuna Tournament, South Side division.

He was best known as The Provincetown Town Crier, a role he made famous for many years, and as such his face and picturesque costume appeared in a number of national publications. He was known as the "Old Salt" of Cape Cod, a nickname attached to Fred during a lifetime of enterprise and effort in promoting the Cape. He was named honorary deputy sheriff for Barnstable County in 1958 and a Kentucky colonel by the Kentucky Governor in 1968. He was a descendant of Mayflower stock and one of his ancestors married Princess Hyanno, the Indian for whom Hyannis is named.

Survivors include his widow Maude; two sons Fred Jr. of Norwood and Craig of Harwich; one sister, Mrs. Charles W. Megathlin of Centerville; and two nieces and three nephews. Burial was in the South Dennis cemetery.

Fred was a very loyal Dartmouth 'O7 classmate and will be greatly missed by all of his classmates.

1911

JOHN WALTER PEARSON died at his Hanover, N.H., home December 17, 1974 after a long illness. He was born November 7, 1888 in Concord, N.H. and graduated from high school there. His father, two brothers, and two uncles were Dartmouth men.

As an undergraduate, John became a member of D.K.E. and Sphinx, but the highlight of this period was his participation in the first (and Only) College Balloon Race on June 3, 1911. Besides the Dartmouth Aero Club, the only other colleges participating were Williams and Penn. John, a neophyte balloonist, because he was president of the Aero Club, piloted a balloon supplied by Jay B. Benton 1890, city editor of the Boston Transcript. They took off from North Adams, (Mass., floated 110 miles in seven hours, and finished last.

John was engaged in an investment banking business for 20 years 1912-1932, interrupted during World War I when he served one year with the U.S. Navy as ensign in the Supply Corps 1918-1919. He changed careers first to work with the N.H. State Development Commission and his three year stay there was the first of a variety of undertakings in State management and research.

Thereafter he headed the N.H. National Recovery Administration in 1933-34, organized the N.H. State Planning Board in 1934, and the N.H. Unemployment Insurance Commission in 1935, and was regional director for New England's U.S. Social Security Board from 1936-40.

From 1940-47 he served as executive director of the Dartmouth College Eye Institute and for the following six years headed the Hanover Institute of Hanover, now known as the Institute for Associated Research for work in psychology. From 1950-53 he was technical advisor to U.S. Senator Ralph E. Flanders of Vermont.

Among his civic contributions, John was president of the Concord Chamber of Commerce and the Concord Community Chest. He served as trustee of the University of New Hampshire, and the N.H. Historical Society, and was a member of the 1930 Constitutional Convention, the State Recess Tax Commission, and the N.H. State Retirement Commission.

John was a very strong and active member of the Class and served Dartmouth and 1911 in many ways all through his life, on the 1911 executive committee, as 1911 class agent, a member of the Dartmouth Alumni Council and was later awarded an A.M. honorary degree by the College.

In 1917 he married Margaret Withy of Grand Rapids, Mich., who survives him, as do a son Edward W. Pearson and a grandson John K. Pearson, both of Litchfield, Conn.

Private services will be held in Concord at the convenience of the family. Memorial donations may be made to the Hanover Visiting Nurse Association in care of the Town of Hanover.

1913

JAMES OSCAR JORDAN of 4 Leicester Road, Belmont, Mass., died November 27, 1974 at the age of 83.

Jim was born in Dorchester, Mass., August 30, 1891 and attended Boston English High School. He was a member of Kappa Sigma and graduated with the Class with a BS degree.

He served in World War I as a sergeant in the 23rd Engineers, including 15 months in France.

On October 13, 1919 he married Margaret S. Harrington at Somerville Mass., who died in 1924.

1916

HERBERT LORD of Winchester, Mass., died November 24 at the Chelsea Soldiers Home after a short illness.

He was born July 9, 1895 in Lawrence, Mass., and entered college from schools there. He was a member of the varsity cross country team. He earned his LL.B. at Boston University School of Law in 1936.

During World War I Herb served in the Navy as a lieutenant j.g., at one point as commanding officer on the U.S.S. Galatea and, as he liked to remember, was the senior officer present in the Azores in 1919 when the first transatlantic flight from Newfoundland to the Azores was completed.

A Winchester resident for many years, he established a tradition of marching (for 20 years) in the Memorial Day Parade in his dress whites, carrying his Navy sword.

Herb was a member of Delta Theta Phi law frater- nity, the Massachusetts Bar Association, and his local Dartmouth Club. He and wife Jane (Yetter), whom he married in 1946, had attended the Dartmouth Alumni College for 10 years.

Surviving are his widow and a daughter, Mrs. Catherine L. Sullivan of Woburn. Donations were requested to be made to Aquinas House or to the Winchester Hospital.

1918

GUILFORD PAYSON ST. CLAIR'S many friends will be saddened to learn of his death December 2 at his home 308 Nimitz Ave., Rockville, Md.

Saint was perhaps the country's best known and most respected of highway finance and taxation authorities. He had a broad influence on the many other professionals familiar with his works.

Born in Calais, Me., on January 27, 1897, he was an active undergraduate, being a Rufus Choate scholar, a Lincoln Douglas debater, Outing Club member, and winning honorable mention in English, Mathematics, and History. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. After graduation he studied engineering at George Washington and Johns Hopkins Universities.

Saint's first job was in ballistic research at Aberdeen Proving Ground with the technical staff of Army Ord- nance. In 1924 he joined the Bureau of Public Roads of the U.S. Department of Commerce where he remained until retirement in 1967 with the exception of two years with the OPA during World War 11.

After some years in physical research in the Bureau's Arlington division, he transferred to Washington headquarters and held increasingly responsible positions in the fields of information and control, following those with his renowned studies of highway finance and taxation. He received the Commerce Department's Silver medal in 1954 and in 1960 the Roy W. Crum Award for Distinguished Service in Highway Research.

In 1962 when the Bureau's Office of Planning was created, Saint became chief of the National Planning division, charged with foreseeing a Federal highway program to meet transportation needs in the years after completion of the Interstate Highway Program in the early 19705. He remained on the Highway Research Board for nearly a year after retirement until ill health forced him to abandon his report on the economic impact of highway improvement.

Saint is survived by his widow Ruth whom he married April 25, 1925; by a daughter Mrs. Jean B. Bort; and by three grandchildren. To them, the Class extends its sympathy.

1919

ROSCOE ARTHUR HAYES passed away on December 8 at Delray Beach, Fla., where he had made his home since retirement in 1970. The Class and the College will sorely miss a man whose loyalty has never been surpassed. As class agent and as class president he was always in the forefront of Dartmouth activities.

Rock came to Dartmouth from Pepperell, Mass. He was a member of Phi Delta Theta, Dragon, and Palaeopitus. He left during World War I to serve as a lieutenant in the Field Artillery, but returned afterward to get degrees from the College and Tuck School. He went with Paine, Webber, Jackson and Curtis and spent all his business career with them, retiring as a partner.

His civic activities are too many to enumerate. A member the Brae Burn Country Club and the Algonquin Club, he received many honors not the least of which was the Dartmouth Alumni Award.

He is survived by his widow Alice Earl to whom he was married for over 50 years; one daughter, Mrs. Adelia Johnson of Ventura, Calif.; two sons, Rolfe of Charles Town, W. Va., and Randolph '55 of Dunwoody, Ga.; a sister, Mrs. Helen Crockett of Boston and a brother, Harold Hayes of Pepperell; nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Memorial services were held in Delray Beach and were attended by a goodly representation from the Class. Burial was in Charleston, W. Va.

Memorial gifts may be made in his name to Dartmouth College.

In Delray Beach, Fla., where he had made his home since retirement, GORDON ARNOLD MEADER passed away in December. For many years he spent summers in his native Wolfeboro, N.H., but of late years he had stayed in Florida the year around.'

During World War I he earned a commission in the Air Corps. After graduation he explored several activities, including a stint at teaching in Puerto Rico, before going in business with his brother in a machine shop operation.

Ship modeling was his dedicated hobby and among his collections was a model which he built of HMS Bounty and which is said to be the most detailed version in existence. He was the founder of the Philadelphia Ship Model Society. Several years ago he gave a valuable collection of Mexican artifacts to the Dartmouth Museum.

He is survived by his widow Aurelia whom he married in 1930.

1920

HOWARD JAMES PULLEN, 76, of 37 Stuart Blvd, Battle Creek, Mich., passed away in the Leila Hospital on October 21, 1974. He was a railroad executive employed his entire adult life by the Grand Trunk Western Railroad Company. He retired in 1962.

Born in Battle Creek he was a lifelong resident of that city. Following graduation from Central High School he entered Dartmouth in 1916 from which college he graduated summa cum laude and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. During World War I he was an enlistee in the Dartmouth S.A.T.C. unit. In addition to being a splendid student, Howard participated in baseball and tennis and in later life engaged in these sports while extending his interest in bowling'. During his college years he loved to skate on the Connecticut River when the ice conditions permitted.

While an undergraduate he was employed in the summer vacations by the "Grand Trunk." After graduation he turned naturally to that railroad for employment and it became his life interest and he served it faithfully and well.

Howard's associations with Dartmouth were close, indeed. His brother, Sherman, graduated in 1918; his son, David, in 1961. He regularly attended the Western Michigan meetings of the Dartmouth Alumni at Grand Rapids, Michigan. In June 1970 he and his wife, Helen, returned to the campus for their 50th Reunion and really enjoyed themselves. They pronounced it "great in every way."

In 1928 he married Helen Marie Lollar and to them twins were born in 1939: Mary Ann and David James '61. Helen, Mary Ann, and David survive him and to them we extend our very deep sympathy for the great loss they have sustained. We share that loss with them for Howard was, indeed, both a loyal 1920 son of Dartmouth and a devoted husband and father.

THOMAS FERRIER SMITH entered Dartmouth in 1916 coming to Hanover from Jamestown, N.D. He remained with us only one year, then entered the U.S. Army Signal Corps in 1918 where he served for one year. In 1918 he married Anne O'Donnell in San Francisco.

He continued to live on the West Coast and for some time was connected with the Smith Hardware Company. For more than 25 years, however, he had been associated with the California Department of Employment as an employment security officer until his retirement.

His death occurred in April, 1974. His widow Anne and a married daughter, and two granchildren survive him. To them the Class extends its deepest sympathy.

1921

WILLIAM HENRY SPENCER died on December 2, 1974 at his home in West Hartford, Conn. He was 73 years of age.

His wife Esther whom he married in 1929, died in 1971. He is survived by a son, Richard.

MORGAN EVERSZ MANCHESTER died on October 25, 1974 in Madison, Wis. Morgan was president of the Harry S. Manchester department store from 1938 to 1966, when his son Stewart took over and Morgan continued as chairman of the board. He was always active in civic affairs, led the Community Chest campaign in 1945, and was co-chairman of the United Givers in 1951.

He was a member of Christ Presbyterian Church, the Maple Bluff Country Club, and the Union League Club of Chicago. In college he was a member of Zeta Psi.

He continued his golfing career as a member and president of the Maple Bluff Country Club in 1953, winning the club championship six times and was runner-up in the State tournament twice. He got his pilot's license at the age of 67.

His first wife was the former Katharine Buchanan who died a year ago after their happy life together of nearly 45 years. His daughter Katharine writes that "they played golf, bridge, read, and traveled extensively. They loved to entertain, had endless guests, always gave fun parties, and were wonderful dancing partners. He was the kindest, nicest, dearest, handsomest man in my world."

Shortly before his unexpected death, he married Dorothy Guild, the widow of a close friend. He is survived by her, a daughter, Mrs. Katharine Manchester Meyering, and two sons, William and Stewart.

1925

LAURENCE ELLSWORTH RICHARDSON died suddenly in Zephyrhills, Fla., November 9, 1974. He was born September 19, 1903 in Lynn, Mass., and entered college from Saugus High School. He was active in the Radio Club and the Choir.

Most of his business career was with the purchasing department of the General Electric Co. in the Boston area and a great deal of it involved with the production of jet aircraft engines.

Larry was a trustee of the Cliftondale Congregational Church and served on the Finance Committee of the Town of Saugus. Funeral services were held in this church where he had been a lifelong member and was for many years organist and choir director.

He was married to Walta Elmer in 1928 and she survives him as do a son, Robert, and two daughters, Nancy Louise and Norma Jean.

1926

Dartmouth College and the Class of 1926 have lost one of their most dedicated friends and an outstanding alumnus with the passing of DELWYN JOHNSON WORTHINGTON on December 15, 1974. He died in St. Mary's Hospital at Tucson, Ariz., after a brief illness.

Del was born in Chicago, Ill., on June 19, 1904, and came to Dartmouth from the New Trier High School where, even as a young man, he showed the leadership qualities that were to follow him throughout his lifetime. There, he was class president both his junior and senior years as well as participating in a variety of important extra-curricula activities of that well-known school. In 1972, he lead the 50th Reunion of the class of 1922 of New Trier High School which received much publicity because of the many persons of note who were present.

At Dartmouth, Del was always regarded, with affection, as the busiest man on campus, and with just reason. He was a member of Psi Upsilon, Delta Omicron Gamma, Palaeopitus, Casque and Gauntlet, and Green Key. He was manager of football, a member of the Glee Club during his four years and leader his senior year, as well as a member of the Musical Clubs, just to mention a few of his more important activities.

After graduation, Del returned to his native Chicago and entered Northwestern University Business School from which he obtained his M.B.A. degree in 1928. He then became affiliated with Midland Utilities Company, a part of the Samuel Insull empire. From there he went into investment banking and investmen counseling. In 1935 he became a member of the newspaper advertising firm of Cresmer and Woodward (later to become Cresmer, Woodward, O'Mara and Ormsbee) where he remained until retirement from that firm in 1962 as executive vice president, having served in 1950 as president of the American Association of Newspaper Representatives and a director of the Newspaper Advertising Executives Association. It was at this point that Del and his wife Billie moved to Tucson and built their beautiful home high up in the Santa Catalina Mountains overlooking the city and mountain passes through to Mexico, and which is familiar to many of his Dartmouth friends who have visited there.

In his retirement, Del became busier than at any other time of his life, starting three new businesses: Arizona Finers and Factors, Inc., now run by his son Bill; American Atomics Corporation of which he ultimately became honorary chairman, and "The World of Coins," a numismatics enterprise developed from his hobby and his extensive collection of rare coins.

In Tucson, he was very active in civic and community affairs. He was a president and governor of Skyline Country Club; director of the Union Bank; chairman of Special Gifts of the United Community Fund; a director of the Tucson Heritage Foundation and a member of the Hospital Planning Association; Tucson Rotary Club; Chamber of Commerce; Better Business Bureau; YMCA; Tucson Press Club and General Chairman of the 1971 Heart Fund of Southern Arizona. A little known facet of his activities was a radio commentary each weekday morning and afternoon on various sujects of current interest.

While engaged in all of these civic and community activities, he also gave untold hours in his devotion to Dartmouth, on enrollment, as secretary of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of Tucson, on the Major Gifts Committee of the Third Century Fund, and as a member of the Alumni Council from 1965 to 1968 and its president in 1967-68. In 1973 he was honored with the Alumni Award from the Council. His memorial service on December 17 was attended by his many Dartmouth friends of all classes, with Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm H. Merrill representing 1926.

Del married Wilma (Billie) Cresmer in 1929 who now survives him as does their son William C., and a sister, Mrs. Mary Worthington Roewade, together with four grandchildren. The Class of 1926 extends its deepest sympathy to them. His family expressed gratitude for all of the many individual messages that have been received from Dartmouth friends.

With all of these activities and achievements, Del still found time for his many friends with whom he found so much enjoyment. He was, indeed, an inspiration to us all to accomplish in a lesser measure what he so readily achieved and so easily performed.

1928
