1902

ALBERT HERMAN DALRYMPLE died peacefully in his sleep February 6, at his home in Wellesley, Mass. For over a year he had been our oldest survivor.

Dal was born in Concord, N.H., October 30, 1879. Following graduation in '02 he kept on to receive the Tuck School degree in 1903. After acquiring business experience with a number of firms in New England, he served as trust officer for the New England Trust Co. of Boston for nearly 30 years, retiring in 1944.

In 1910 he married Josephine Ewer of Brookline. She died in 1932, leaving three sons and a daughter. Six years later he married Alice Baker in Marshfield, Mass. At that time he bought the house in Wellesley, his home for the years remaining. She died in May 1946 following a sudden heart attack. Later he married Antoinette Pratt, who survives him.

Dal was one of the quiet men of the Class, yet friendly and ready to cooperate. He was very loyal to Class and College, and had a good record of attendance at reunions. He served as class treasurer for several years. He is recorded as a contributor to the Alumni Fund for 53 of the 60 years of the existence of the Fund.

CYRIL AUSTIN SMITH died February 19 at the Elizabeth Carleton House in Boston, where fate had at the last smiled on him. He was born in Halifax on October 13, 1880, and to college from Middleborough, Mass. In Hanover he knew everyone, and was always active. However, he did not graduate, and for many years was considered lost, though there were occasional reports that he had been seen in distant places.

In 1962 he had been located, and was persuaded to attend the 60th Reunion of the Class. He was surprised to receive a warm welcome, and kept in touch the rest of his life: However, none of us ever learned the story of those "lost" years.

In early 1971 he was found on a street in Boston severely beaten, and robbed of everything, even clothing. Through the efforts of a classmate and another Dartmouth alumnus he was admitted to the Elizabeth Carleton House. Recently he had suffered a broken hip and was hospitalized.

Apparently there was no family, only a few friends who would not forget him. At the private service there were flowers from the Class.

1908

WINTHROP AUSTIN GRIFFIN died in his sleep at his home in East Orleans, Mass., on January 28, 1975. Win was born July 9, 1884 in Greenwood, Mass., and prepared for Dartmouth at Wakefield High School. In college he took the pre-Tuck courses. His fraternity was Chi Phi.

Following graduation, he took secretarial courses and became assistant secretary in the Chamber of Commerce of Boston. In 1914 and 1915 he was assistant to the vice president of New England Tel and Tel Boston. In 1916, he went with Electric Bond and are of New York City and in 1919 with American lei and Tel in New York.

One of the officers under whom he served as a roustabout, to use Win's own expression, was E. K. Hall. It gave Win a front line seat to observe two important events in Dartmouth history: The choosing of Earnest Martin Hopkins for President of the College, and the sessions of the Football Rules Committee which adopted the forward pass.

Win retired from business in 1946. Since, he had been living on a small farm in East Orleans, Mass.

Win was married December 14, 1911 to Maude Campbell of Boston. They had three children, Hobart Winthrop '35, Michelin Campbell, now Mrs. H. B. Whipple; and Burges Harmon, '44, seven grandchildren, including Peter B. '66, and two great-grandchildren. Maude passed away several months before. Thus one more of 08's much beloved members has left us.

HARRY CARLETON BARNETT was born at Somerville, Mass., on October 28, 1888. He prepared for college at Newbury (Vermont) High School and St. Johnsbury Academy. After graduating from Dartmouth in 1912 with an A.B. degree in French and History he became an instructor at Hobart College for two years, and then at the University of Michigan where he received a M.S. in 1917.

In June 1917 he enlisted as a p.f.c. in the U.S. Army Ambulance Service. Nine months later he went to Washington for a short course in laboratory methods for hospital work. From January to August 1919 he did bacterialogical laboratory work at Camp Sevier.

Following his discharge from the Army he studied at the Sorbonne in Paris and then in 1923 accepted an exchange professorship in French at Tsing Hua College in Peking, China. Returning to Ann Arbor in 1925 he was instructor in French for two years at the University and then became assistant professor and later associate professor of French at Michigan State University until he retired in 1954.

On August 18, 1923 Harry Barnett married Marcie Sturgis of Ann Arbor. Marcie died in 1957. On January 25, 1958 he married Doris Sturgis Kidd of Ann Arbor who survives him.

Harry lost the sight of one eye in an accident in 1915. With that handicap he carried on until he became legally blind following a cataract operation on his good eye in 1974. His great joy in these years of retirement was his flower garden where he occupied himself daily.

1914

CHARLES BROWN MCLAUGHLIN was born in Salem, N.H., December 20, 1891 and passed away on February 14 in Manchester, N.H., after a long illness. He graduated from Methuen, Mass., High School, the College, and Harvard Law School.

He was a member of the Bar Association, Past Commanders Club of the Legion, The Dartmouth Club, and the American Judicature Society. He was also a former trustee of Coe-Brown Northwood Academy.

Mac was a quiet, unassuming guy but always good natured, and his passing will be deeply regretted by all who knew him.

1916

WARREN FORD UPHAM died on January 22 at the New England Memorial Hospital in Stoneham, Mass., adjacent to Maiden, where he had lived all of his life in the family home where he was born. He was the son of Henry W. and Elizabeth (Plunkett) Upham and had inherited from his father the Upham Piano Co. of Maiden, which Warren had continued to run until the building was destroyed by fire a few years ago. Warren's wife, Marjorie (Stevens) Upham, had died in 1967, since which time Warren had been living alone at his old home.

Tog had entered Dartmouth after his graduation from Philips Exeter Academy, and will be remembered by his classmates for his sense of humor, combined with the serious side of his nature, his love of music, and his booming bass voice, which later he contributed effectively to the choir of the First Baptist Church in Maiden. He was also well known to many young people in Maiden, with whom he had a rapport unusual in these days, and his counsel to them in their problems had been sought and given freely and apparently effectively.

Warren was a member of Chi Phi at Dartmouth and also of the Glee Club, Choir, and Mandolin Club. After graduation, he served in the Ordnance Department of the U.S. Army in 1918-19 and did some postgraduate work at the Universities of Chicago and Zurich. He had been active as an officer of the Upham Family Society - one of the oldest families in his area, and whose activities originated in the building of the second Mayflower in England.

In recent years, an artistic ability became evident in his excellent pencil drawings of the Boston State House on a snowy day and another drawing of fishing boats in Marblehead Harbor. Also, Warren took to writing poems.

At funeral services our Class was represented by Richard Parkhurst, Kay English, and Parker Hayden.

1918

PAUL EDWARD MOYER, 86, died February 15 in Dover, Delaware. Born in Cheyenne, Wyo., "Pete" grew up on a ranch, then moved east and attended Cortland, N.Y. High School. On campus he became a member of Lambda Chi Alpha and Phi Beta Kappa. He earned a Masters degree from Harvard in 1922.

Employed as an economist for the U.S. Department of Labor in 1918 and 1919, he then became a political correspondent and reporter for the Manchester (N.H.)Union Leader. Following that, he was for 35 years an editorial writer for the Providence (R. I.) Journal-Bulletin. He retired in 1958 but continued to live in the Providence area until six years ago when he moved to Baltimore. He moved to Dover in 1970.

A specialist in economic matters, he authored many magazine articles and, in 1955, a book, The Case forPeace, in which he dealt with the economic waste of war and advocated general disarmament and creation of an international peace force under the United Nations.

In 1918 Paul married Louise May Sisson who survives him at 405 E Country Drive in Dover. Also surviving are two sons, Robert S. '43, Norman E. '45, and three grandchildren, including Dennis E. '74. To them the Class extends its heartfelt sympathy.

The following year he studied at the Eastern Radio Institute and obtained his license as a commercial radio operator. For a decade he served as Radio Operator on 19 sea-going voyages, mainly to Germany, Denmark, and South American ports.

In 1929 he quit the sea, married Sarah Cowan of Salem Depot, N.H., and became a security officer in Harvard University, for 23 years in the Widener Library and 11 more in the Cruft Laboratories, before he retired in 1964. His wife had died in 1959, and he lived alone in Cambridge, Mass., until a severe stroke (his second) in November 1973 sent him to hospital for good. Partial recovery and superb hospital care afforded him a precarious but relatively happy year until a third stroke suddenly brought his death. He willed his body to Harvard Medical School for Anatomical Research. His heart always belonged to Dartmouth.

Bob is survived by his brother, Professor C. Dana Rouillard, Department of French, University College, University of Toronto, Canada.

1922

WILL FAUST NICHOLSON, 74, former Colorado state senator and mayor of Denver, died January 21. He had not been in good health for the past five years.

Nick came to Dartmouth from Omaha's Central High School. His outstanding clean-cut appearance and his affability established his popularity on the campus. He was manager of the hockey team, a member of Rake and Roll, The Dartmouth Board, Proof and Copy, Phi Delta Epsilon, Alpha Delta Phi, and Dragon.

Following graduation he went into the advertising business with N.W. Ayer and Son in Philadelphia. A few years later he moved to Colorado Springs where he was with a mineral water concern before joining the brokerage company of Boetcher-Newton. In 1935 he moved to Denver and became a general partner in Harris Upham and Co.

In World War II he served four years in the Air Force, had a distinguished record, and became a brigadier general. Returning to Denver, he was executive vice president of the investment firm, A. D. Wilson and Co., and some years later he held a similar position with the Central Investment Corp.

Nick's interest in state politics began in Colorado Springs. For many years he was the Colorado State Republican finance chairman. He was elected to the state senate from Denver in 1950 and again in 1954 Resigning from the senate, he was elected mayor of Denver in 1955 and served in that office until 1959. He led the fight to build the Roberts Tunnel and the Dillon Dam and Reservoir to bring Western Slope water to Denver. He was also a leader in the development of Denver's Stapleton International Airport, and he was instrumental in bringing to Colorado the U.S. Air Force Academy, where he was a trustee.

Denver voters returned Nick to the state senate in 1955 for a four-year term. With less than a year to serve he sadly resigned, telling fellow senators he had suffered a stroke and the people of Denver should not have "a half-sick senator."

He was proud to be in the Dartmouth fellowship. He was a member of the national committee for the 1960 Dartmouth Medical School Campaign. Shortly before his illness the Class was glad to welcome him in Hanover at one of our informal spring assemblies.

Nick and Gladys Burns were married January 14, 1926 in Colorado Springs. She, their son Will F. Jr., their daughters, Mrs. Elizabeth N. Wheeler and Mrs. Gladys N. Kirk, and five grandchildren survive him. In mutual sorrow at the loss of a highly honored classmate we offer them our deepest sympathy.

LAURENCE CARROLL CAMPBELL, 75, prominent Vermont business and civic leader, died February 19 in Doctors Hospital, Lake Worth, Fla., the community where he and his wife Elizabeth spent their winters.

Larry, or Camp as he was better known, was a native of Barre, Vt. From its Spaulding High School he came to Dartmouth in September 1918. All classmates remember him as a sincerely friendly companion and a proficient scholar who like so many of us majored in Economics. He was a member of Theta Chi and an officer in the Camera Club where he developed an avocation that gave him pleasure throughout life.

His years were spent in Barre, Florida, and around the world. A few years after graduating he joined his father in A. E. Campbell and Son, an extensive real estate management business.

On his 25th birthday he joined the Barre Rotary Club and had continued as an active member since 1925. He was a director of the First Vermont Bank for 30 years. He was a long-term president of the board of directors of Barre City Hospital. He was administrative director of the Vermont Council of Safety and in 1943 he became the first director of State Institutions for Vermont.

He also served as president of the Vermont Hospital Association and during World War II he was Hospital Officer for the State of Vermont. Through his efforts, Blue Cross was formed in Vermont, in cooperation with New Hampshire. He was president for many years of the Vermont-New Hampshire Blue Cross-Blue Shield Service and, until a few months ago, continued as a director of that organization.

Camp was a member of the Granite Masonic Lodge in Barre, the Barre Congregational Church, the Lake Worth Camera Club, the Photographic Society of America, and the American Legion.

He and Elizabeth were enthusiastic world-wide travelers and often spent considerable time on each of the continents. A talented photographer, he brought back many slides which were enjoyed by large circles of friends. Yet no matter where they journeyed, Camp never forgot his college. He was a loyal Dartmouth man and it was a genuine pleasure to have him and Elizabeth in Hanover at our reunions.

Camp and Elizabeth Madeira were married September 14, 1927 in Reading, Pa. She and several cousins survive him. With the loss of a distinguished classmate the Class joins them in sincere sadness.

1923

JAMES MIDDLETON PYOTT died on December 25, 1974. Although the cause of death is not known we understand that he had been afflicted with cancer for several years. .

Jim came to Dartmouth in 1919 from the Oak Park, Ill., High School along with Bill Wallace and Russ Carpenter. He and Bill roomed together during freshman year. On our freshman football and track teams, Jim was also a member of Alpha Delta Phi. In 1920 he transferred to the University of Chicago where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in 1924. At Chicago Jim became an outstanding halfback and captained the football team in his senior year.

A brief but successful career in investment banking was followed by an association with the Pyott Tool Co. in Chicago. In 1953 Jim formed his own manufacturers representative firm in which he continued to be active up to the time of his death.

Jim's survivors include his widow, the former Helen M. DuVall, son James M. Jr., and a daughter.

ALBERT ROGERS PERKINS, retired journalist and prolific writer of childrens books, died February 10 at La Jolla, Calif. He was 70 years of age.

With his wife Jane, Al moved to La Jolla in October, 1965, after spending ten years abroad. A classmate of Ted Geisel ("Dr. Seuss") of La Jolla, he wrote a number of childrens stories which were published by Beginner Books, a division of Random House in New York. His works included Don and Donna Go to Bat (1966); The Diggingest Dog and The Travels of DoctorDolittle (1967); Doctor Dolittle and the Pirates and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968).

Later, he was script director for the Columbia Broadcasting System, and taught courses in radio and television writing for 15 years at New York University. At various times he was managing editor of Outdoor Life Magazine, Sport, and The American Magazine.

He and his wife, a nationally known home economist under her maiden name of Jane Tiffany Wagner, retired from active business careers in 1957. They settled first in Bermuda, then in the Portuguese island of Madeira. Before settling in La Jolla, they traveled extensively while Al wrote magazine articles as a free-lance author.

A chance encounter with Dr. Seuss launched him into a new career as a childrens author in the summer of 1965. Ted took him to lunch at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club and remarked: "All I remember about you in college is that you never studied. You just drew pictures of owls in your notebooks, and made up stories about them."

As president of Beginner Books, Ted encouraged Al to try his hand at childrens' stories. Perkins wrote the first one, a baseball story for boys and girls aged 4 to 8, on an airplane between Honolulu and Tahiti. It was accepted, and other volumes followed at the rate of one or two per year.

He is survived by his widow Jane; a son John; three daughters, Mrs. Nancy Andrews, Mrs. Sally Allen, and Mrs. Diana Lamanec. Four grandchildren also survive.

He was a member of the Psi Upsilon Fraternity, the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, and the Dutch Treat Club in New York.

1940

PAUL NORMAN JOHNSON, sports editor and writer for the Worcester Telegram for nearly 36 years and one of the news world's most articulate champions of collegiate athletics, died January 20 in South Bend where he had gone to cover the Holy Cross-Notre Dame basketball game. A three-letter athlete at Worcester Academy, Paul concentrated mainly on his studies at Dartmouth and was a member of Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity. He left Dartmouth after nearly two years with the Class after his father died in 1939.

In that same year, he joined the sports department of the Telegram, for which he had begun writing in 1931 as a school correspondent.

He was posthumously voted this spring the winner of the Walter Brown Memorial Award for outstanding contributions to New England basketball, and the award was acheduled to be presented in his memory in Worcester on April 3. It was just one of many awards he received during his lifetime in recognition of his ability and fairness as a sports writer and editor. He had served as editor of the Telegram since 1965 but continued to write his own sports column for the paper.

He retained an avid interest in the College and regularly visited the campus whenever he could, on assignment or to see his many friends in Hanover.

Typical of his continuing, but quiet concern for Dartmouth was his decision to bypass a Holy Cross football game to cover the Dartmouth-Yale football game of 1971, marking Yale's first appearance in Memorial Stadium since 1884. As one who remembered the exciting near misses of Dartmouth football teams of the late 30's in their efforts to break the Yale Bowl jinx, he had the pleasure of reporting Dartmouth's 17-15 win over Yale in that first visit of an Eli eleven to Hanover in the 20th century.

In addition to his achievements as a writer and editor for the Telegram, he had his own sports program on Radio Station WTAG in the late 40's and for several years, 1960 through 1964, served as part-time sports information director for Holy Cross. An excellent golfer as well as a recognized expert in writing about golf, he also coached golf at the Major Beal High School in Shrewsbury, Mass., for a while in the late 50's.

Among his many proteges was Joe McGinnis, of Philadelphia, who dedicated his book, The Selling ofthe President, 1968, to Paul.

He leaves his widow Margaret (Perham) Johnson, a former member of the Telegram's Women's Department, whom he married in 1950; two sons Gary P., and Steven P., and two daughters Paula M. and Elizabeth R.

1944

JOHN FRANKLIN MEGEE, 53, died January 28 in South Bend, Ind., after a year's battle against lung cancer. He was senior vice president of the First Bank & Trust Co. in South Bend.

John was born and raised in Rushville, Ind., and graduated from Rushville High School. At Dartmouth he was a clarinetist with the band, as well as band manager. He was a member of both the Handel and Prokofiev Societies and Delta Upsilon fraternity.

He left at the end of his sophomore year for three years of Naval service, and after the war graduated from Northwestern University. He then entered the retail building material business where he remained until 1953. He switched to securities that year and became a banker in South Bend in 1962.

John was a member of the First United Church in South Bend, a member of the board of directors of the South Bend Symphony, the Morris Park Country Club, and the Indianapolis Athletic Club.

John married Geraldine Hess in 1944 and she survives him along with two sons, John F. Jr. of Rushville, and Thomas, a student at the University of Michigan, and a daughter, Sarah Martens, Ann Arbor.

1946

WILLIAM SPAULDING HESSEY died on January 14 in Chicago, where he had been hospitalized, under intensive care, for a long series of illnesses.

Bill had lived for many years in Chicago where he was an officer and majority stockholder of the Mister Jones Corporation, an owner and operator of restaurants.

In college days, Bill was an active participant with the college radio station (then known as WDBS), and reported the sports news every evening. He served on active duty with the Navy from 1943 to 1946, and after graduation served as an account executive with various advertising agencies before purchasing an interest in his company.

Bill was buried in Old Lyme, Conn., beside his twin brother Dave, Harvard '46, who died approximately ten years ago. He is survived by his widow Peggy and two daughters by a prior marriage, Andrea Heintz and Pamela Hessey.

ROBERT LEWIS SHADE died on February 13, in Decatur, Ill., and the Class of 1946 will never be quite the same again.

From the time that our Class entered Dartmouth, Bob was one of the most active and popular members. He was a member of Sigma Chi Fraternity, and during World War II served for three and one half years as a radio operator and gunner on B-24's in China, in the course of which he was required to bail out on three occasions, each time being rescued by friendly troops.

Bob had been born and raised in Decatur, to which he returned immediately after graduation. He married Yvonne (Eve) there in 1956, and they were the parents of four daughters, Robin, Patricia, Laura, and Susan. Bob's business career was spent as a partner in the insurance agency of Bennett & Shade Co. but his time was constantly devoted to outside activities in the service of others. He was, at various times, president of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce and of the Decatur Rotary Club, president of the Macon County Chapter of The National Foundation, chairman of the local March of Dimes Campaign and at the time of his death had been president of the Decatur YMCA for two years. In 1969 he was the recipient of the Frontier International Human Relations Award.

Among his business honors, Bob was president and chairman of the Board of the Independent Insurance Agents of Illinois, the state national director for the National Association of Insurance Agents, a founder and director of the Security Savings and Loan Association of Decatur, and in 1970 he received the C. M. Cartwright Award from the Independent Insurance Agents. He was a vestryman of his church, and held many other positions with charitable and religious organizations.

As reported in the March issue of the publication of one of those organizations, "Still, it wasn't these things that made Bob impressive; it was himself and his attitude toward others that made him so special." Bob was a very special guy to hundreds of members of our Class. We all recall with delight the arrival of the Shade family in a traveling van at the 25th Reunion and were looking forward with great joy to their arrival at our 30th this June.

Bob was such an active, vibrant fellow that we can close this column only by quoting the editorial which appeared the following day in the Decatur newspaper:

And so it was with disbelief that the word spread around Thursday afternoon that he was dead at fifty, collapsing at the YMCA where he had devoted so much of his time and energies.... So there is a void in the community which will be hard to fill, a loss which we all share with his family and close associates. In such times we can only be grateful for all the things he did so unselfishly for so many.

1952

FRANCIS LEROY WORLEY JR. passed away on December 12, 1974 in Quakertown, Pa. at Quakertown Community Hospital.

Roy came to Hanover from Philadelphia where he had attended William Penn Charter School. While in high school he was very active in both academic affairs and in sports, obtaining letters in football, track, golf, and squash. He was captain of the squash team his senior year.

After his first years at Dartmouth Roy left to join the Marine Corps, serving from 1951 to 1953 during the Korean conflict. After discharge from the service Roy returned to the Philadelphia area, became active in real estate sales and, in 1959, joined the Landis Savings and Loan Association, Vineland, N.J. He was later elected president of Landis and became active in community affairs including the United Fund, local scouting organizations, and school associations. Roy was also an active member of Rotary where he served the local club as a director.

Roy is survived by his widow Betty Jane, three sons, John, Robert, and James, by his parents, and a sister.

1957

BUCHANAN SANDERS WAID died suddenly of cancer in New York City on November 6, 1974.

"Butch" was born in Spain and graduated from the LeBosey School in Switzerland. At the College, he majored in romance languages and literature, and was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Butch was a high-scoring forward lineman on the soccer team and also played varsity squash for three years.

After graduation, Butch joined Texaco as a marketing trainee. For the next 13 years, he undertook marketing assignments throughout Central America - Puerto Rico, El Salvador, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Honduras. In 1972 he was transferred to Spain. At the time of his death, Butch was the managing director of Texaco's Madrid, office.

1959

WILLIAM EDMUND KEANE died on November 23, 1974 of hepatitis after battling the illness all during the summer and fall.
