He returned to the United States and matriculated with the class of 1918 at Dartmouth. He was a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity and was prominent on the varsity tennis team.
When the United States entered World War I, he joined the U.S. Army Air Service. After the war, he was employed by the Standard Oil Company of New York for service in Japan.

Both he and his wife won many tennis trophies, and he also became an avid collector of and writer on Japanese art and wood-block prints.
World War II caught him in Japan. He was initially interned in Yokohama and later taken to Sugamo Prison, but when the Japanese discovered his interest in their art, they allowed him to return to his home in Yokohama, though he was confined to the neighborhood and required to report to the police daily. He was repatriated during the summer of 1942, when he was retired by the company and employed by the Board of Economic Welfare in Washington, D.C., for the remainder of the war. With its end, he rejoined his old firm and was sent back to Japan.
In January 1947 he returned to the Unite States and complete retirement. He and hi wife divided the year between Jamestown, R.I., where they were members of the Conanicut Yacht Club, and Rancho Mirage, Calif., where they were members of the Shade-Mountain Club. If he was not playing tennis or golf, he was out hiking in the hills or assiduously pursuing his love of art and things Japanese. In recent years his advanced age unfortunately eliminated all these activities, both mental and physical, which he enjoyed so much.
He is survived by a son Robert '47, two daughters Karen Fox and Rohde Morales, six grandchildren, and three great-grandchil-dren.

1949
With the heaviest heart I have experienced) my lifetime, I must report on the recent passing of one of our esteemed classmates and my bucdy and close friend, CHARLES SAMUEL KILNER. Those of you who knew Sambo well will be deeply sorrowed we have lost a great '49er!
Sam fought valiantly for the past year and a half against a malignancy that slowed him down somewhat but never diminished his superb sense of humor. His was a memorable spirit that will be with us all forever.
Sam was born in December 1927 in Detroit. where he lived throughout his pre-college years except for annual forays to his beloved "Black Pond" a rustic hunting lodge created by his grandfather in Plymouth Union, Vt. This love of the North Country hills led him to Dartmouth, whence he was graduated in 1949. He then joined his second love, the U.S. Navy, to serve as a jet pilot for four years. Sam's business career was a major commitment to I.B.M. He served that company well in many positions for over 25 years, the last being as Far East corporate director of planning.
Sam was a very giving person: His local activities included deep involvement in the Democratic Town Committee of New Canaan, ,he Boy Scouts, the United Way, and the IndiGuides. But most important was Sam's dedication to the A.B.C. program (A Better Chance, for disadvantaged high school students). Sam organized the first operation in New Canaan, Conn., and went on to participation in the national A.B.C. program, as a director from 1976 to 1980 and chairman from 1980 to 1982. Just ask them he was well loved and respected!
In addition to his 94-year-old mother, two sisters, and one brother, Sam leaves behind his wife Barbara and his son Charles and daughter Elizabeth.
And now we bid farewell! We can't say, Play it again, Sam," to our devotee of Dixieland music. But those of us who are inclined can keep the spirit alive by making a contribution as noted in the 1949 class notes in this issue.
Sam, we loved you and we'll miss you!

Wellsy came to Hanover from Abington High School in Massachusetts, where he was a three-letter athlete, active in student government, and named to the National Honor Society. At Dartmouth he played freshman and jayvee football and was a member of Beta Theta Pi and Sphinx. After his graduation, Chris moved to San Francisco to work in the bar and restaurant business.
A memorial service held in Abington on May 17 was attended by more than 300 people from all parts of the country. The presiding minister spoke of the remarkable legacy of friends Chris left behind him. The same day many who could not make the trip east gathered at Henry Africa's, Wellsy's place of employment in San Francisco. After a minister led the group in prayer, Kevin Sullivan '79 and David Hipschman, another friend, offered thoughts and reminiscences. Rich Pugh '79 delivered a closing prayer.
With his appetite for life's pleasures, his irreverent, scolding, but always affectionate wit, and his passion for adventure, Wellsy was a Falstaff for our times, a man who brightened the existence of all who knew him. His untimely death renders the world a bleaker place.
The class extends its sincerest condolences to the Wells family.
