Through the thoughtfulness of a member of another class, we have learned of the death of FREDERIC WILLIAM HOOPER, as the result of a heart attack, in January in Florida. Fred was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon and continue: his studies at Dartmouth, receiving his A.M degree in 1934.

He concluded his teaching career as a professor of philosophy at Yale. He also was one of four literary executors ot Dartmouth Professor James MacKaye, assisting the College in the publishing of Professor MacKaye's Logic of Language.
Fred lost his wife Eleanor in 1978, and subsequently spent his time in his motor home with his Norwegian elkhound touring this country; perhaps this was why his place of death was in Florida. While he had not been active in class affairs, we were all delighted when he appeared at our 50th, and we hope he had a rewarding experience.

A newsletter in 1970 reported, "He is restricted in his traveling, by doctor's orders, but lt has in no way slowed him down.

THEODORE STONE SAUNDERS, 75, died on November 18, 1982, after suffering a heart attack while walking near his home in Lewiston, N.Y. He was president and principal owner of Beirs Department Store in Niagara Falls. He had started there in 1948 as manager, after 18 years' experience in the Lincoln Department Stores at various locations in the Northeast. Under Ted's guidance, Beirs came to enjoy an enviable reputation. His diligence brought him a shared identity with the store, and the store came to be identified with progress in Niagara Falls. Ted remained in the landmark Beirs building amid the rubble, noise, and dust of urban development until he could move into the new Rainbow Centre Mall as "anchor" and largest single tenant - thus preserving busi- ness in the downtown area and keying the suc- cess of the new shopping center.
A native of Clinton, Mass., Ted became active in civic affairs at Niagara Falls as a member of the Presbyterian Church and the New York State Retail Merchants; former district chairman of Boy Scouts; trustee of Memorial Hospital; director of United Givers Fund; and president of the Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary.

At Dartmouth, Ted majored in history, belonged to Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, and began his lifelong enthusiasm for golfing and skiing.
Later, summer vacations in Maine took him through Hanover, where he "always enjoyed nostalgic visits to the Dartmouth campus." During one of these vacations, he demonstrated his friendly concern for a classmate by extending the use of his home to this writer for two weeks while I was waiting to occupy a house in nearby Lewiston at the start of a new job. A devoted family man, he brought his two sons and two daughters to his 50th reunion in 1980.

RICHARD KLEEMAN LAZARUS died on March 8, 1979, the victim of an automobile accident in Castro Valley, Calif. A very unfortunate series of mischances brings this notice of Dick's untimely passing to his classmates and friends so late.
At the time of his death, Dick worked as a buyer for Bullock's, a northern California department store chain operated by Federated Department Stores Inc., of which Dick's father, Ralph Lazarus '35, was chairman of the board.
Prior to that, from 1973 to 1976, Dick was tlean of admissions at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business Administration. Between 1967 and 1969 he served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Colombia. Between his Peace Corps stint and Stanford, Dick attended and was graduated from Harvard Business School and worked for the Harbor National Bank in Boston and Abraham and Straus department stores in Brooklyn, N.Y. He also served as a trustee of the Ohio Center for Leadership Studies and as a class agent.
At Dartmouth, Dick majored in govern- ment. In his junior year, he was one of nine Dartmouth students who participated in the Dartmouth-M.I.T. Urban Studies Program, studying urban renewal problems in the South End of Boston. He was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.
Dick is survived by his wife, the former Kathryn Blair Green, and two sons, Andrew and Peter. Also surviving are his parents and two Dartmouth brothers John Lazarus '68 and James Lazarus '70.
