Then, to satisfy his yearning and his talents in the field of mathematics, he took a job as a pari-mutuel calculator and spent over a decade with various race tracks in New England as well as Florida. It was his custom to work for the local tracks in the spring, summer, and fall months and to do the same in Florida during the winters. He also had served for several years as personnel manager of the Eastern Racing Association in Boston. The last twenty years prior to his retirement in 1967 he worked as a self-employed statistician in Boston.

He was preceded in death by his son John Jr. '57 and is survived by his wife Prudence (Robinson), his son Donald, three grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.

1929

JOSEPH WALTON LOSEY died of cancer in London on June 22.

Born in 1909, Joe came from Central High School in La Crosse, Wise. He majored in English, belonged to Delta Upsilon fraternity, and was student director of the Dartmouth Players. He attended the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Harvard. In 1973 Dartmouth awarded him its L.H.D. degree.

He at first wrote reviews for The New York Times and The Saturday Review of Literature, then at 23 he directed his first Broadway play. While still in his twenties he served as foreign correspondent for Variety in England, Scandinavia, and Russia. He also studied acting in Russia.

Joe served in the army in World War II and returned to start a promising career in Hollywood a career that was thwarted for a while when he was blacklisted in the anticommunist crusade of the fifties. In 1952 he settled in England where he had a long series of successes in film. His last completed feature was La Truite, made in France in 1982e was working on Steaming at the time of his death. In 1970 and 1975 he taught at the College as a visiting professor. In 1978 he filmed the opera Don Giovanni in Italy.

He leaves his wife Patricia and two sons by a previous marriage.

1930

The College learned in February of the death of Dr. KENNETH LLOYD GREVATT. Ken had had little communication with the College or classmates in recent years, and efforts to secure more information concerning his demise have been unavailing.

A pre-med major at Dartmouth, Ken was a member of Delta Tau Delta and Alpha Kappa Kappa. He completed his medical studies at the University of Pennsylvania. After 25 years of general practice in Connecticut Ken moved to California and became associated with the Stanford University Health Service and the Palo Alto Medical Clinic. More recently he was employed by the Veterans Administration Regional Office in San Francisco.

Ken is survived by his wife Helen and five children.

ARTHUR D. PARKER, 75, died April 15, five days after emergency surgery for a ruptured aortic aneurysm. During his two years at Dartmouth he participated in freshman track, cross-country, and boxing, and at one time was Dartmouth correspondent for The Boston American. He was pledged to Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity.

Art spent 31 years in industrial relations work with Western Electric, retiring in 1973. To Art, retirement meant more time to devote to the wide range of humanitarian and civic activities in which he had always been involved. During these years he was an officer or member of the Montvale (N.J.) Board of Health, the policy committee on community development, the board of governors of the Tri-Boro Ambulance Corps, FISH (For I Shall Help a community service organization), the Pascack Mental Health Board, the Pascack Reformed Church, the Ridgewood Audubon Society, and the Glen Rock Civic Center and Civil Defense Association. He was certainly not a person to say "no" when he could be of service.

In 1976 a successful battle against colonic cancer led Art to still another humanitarian field: counseling and helping fellow colostomates, while serving as president of the Bergen County Ostomy Club. Despite all these activities Art, who had once been a prizewinning photographer, still found time for sketching and painting. He and his wife, the former Marion Brown, celebrated 50 years of happy marriage in October 1983. Following his death the town's flag was flown at halfstaff for two weeks as a salute to a fine, public-spirited man.

In addition to Marion he is survived by two daughters, Barbara and Jean, and a son, Douglas, to whom the class extends its condolences.

JULIEN AUBE RYAN died of a ruptured aneurysm of the aorta in Georgetown Hospital, Washington, D.C., on January 18. "Joe" attended Dartmouth for only two years, but he never lost his love for the College. He followed the Dartmouth teams with great enthusiasm and attended the Dartmouth-Harvard game in Cambridge last October. Joe's wife, the former Elizabeth G. Ohlman of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., survives him. A U.S. Navy veteran, Joe was buried in the National Cemetery at Quantico, Va.

Joe spent most of his working career with Land O' Lakes Creameries, from which he retired several years ago as manager of the Washington-Baltimore area. He had long been an avid philatelist and was highly regarded in the stamp and coin world. After his retirement his avocation became a vocation. Up to the day of his sudden death he was employed in a stamp and coin shop in Alexandria, Va., where he appraised collections and arranged exhibits for the National Philatelic Society, of which he was a member. An article in The Washington Star shortly before his death pictures Joe examining a 137-year-old stamp valued at $2,500, known as "U.S. No. 2."

For assistance in the preparation of Joe's obituary we are indebted to classmate Walter S. "Red" Draper and to Bette, to whom the class sends its sympathy in her bereavement.

WILLIAM GLICKAUF SWARTCHILD JR., 74, died of cancer March 15, leaving behind an exceptional record of public service. On graduation from Dartmouth Bill entered his family's business, Swartchild and Company, manufacturers of jewelers' supplies and precision tools, and remained in the company until his retirement as president in 1973. He is survived by his wife Beatrice and a son, as well as a brother, James, and cousin, Robert, both '32.

Even a partial list of Bill's civic activities is long and imposing. He was a trustee of the Field Museum for 18 years and chairman of its board from 1978 to 1982, in addition to serving the museum in a number of other, official capacities. He was active in the American Association of Museums, a trustee of three Chicago hospitals and chairman of the boards of two of them, a member of the council of the Illinois Hospital Association, and a director of Blue Cross-Blue Shield of Illinois and of HMO Illinois, as well as of the Chicago Zoological Society, which operates Brookfield Zoo. He was an ardent golfer and was con- sidered an authority on wines.

We regret that space will not permit us to quote in full a tribute to Bill that appeared in the Bulletin of the Field Museum. However, the following excerpts are illustrative of the esteem in which he was held:

"William Swartchild had an extraordinary understanding of the dynamics of nonprofit institutions and the various constituencies comprising the institution. At Field Museum this was evidenced by the complete confidence in him on the part of the staff, Women's Board, and trustees."

And "Beyond all of his achievements in business and philanthropy, he was a warm and thoughtful person who cared about people. He brought a quality of excellence and humanity to anything he touched. He was a model of dedication of personal energy for the public good. The City of Chicago is a better place because of William Swartchild's life."

Classmates who have regularly followed football games and other athletics will miss this year the face of HENRY NEWELL WOOD, a close follower of the teams, who died in St. Johnsbury, Vt., on March 22.

Hank came to Dartmouth after graduating from Newton, Mass., High School. (As it happened, he was a classmate of my wife Gwennie.) He was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon and an economics major. He obtained his master's degree in business administration at Columbia in 1931, moving then into chain retailing with W. T. Grant, as assistant to the controller, and then into a series of store managerships.

He left to join the army in 1942 as a first lieutenant and emerged in 1945 as a lieutenant colonel. At that point he joined Rumford Paper Company in Rumford, Maine, as assistant to the treasurer but shortly returned to W. T. Grant in store management and merchandising, ending up in St. Johnsbury. When Grant closed, he remained in St. Johnsbury for the balance of his life, and for a period of time was part-owner of a local store.

In recent years the Woods traveled to Greece and attended Alumni College and Hanover Holiday. Hank also served as secretary of the Dartmouth Club of the North Country. In 1978 Jeannie and Hank were honored by their classmates with the Class of 1930 Award for their loyalty. Some will also remember that at our 50th reunion the Woods won a Christmas tree donated by the Bowlens, and we had a splendid opportunity to meet their daughter Janet and her family when they came to pick it up.

To Jeannie, whom Hank married in 1942, and the entire family, we extend our sympathy personally and from the class as a whole.

DICK BOWLEN '30

1931

The late and sad word has come to us of the death of JOSEPH RADFORD GATHRIGHT, on January 11 in Louisville, Ky., where he had lived since childhood.

After Dartmouth, Joe earned his law degree at the University of Louisville, graduating in 1934. He then served as secretary to the mayor of Louisville for two years and as assistant district attorney for another two. He then joined the First Kentucky Trust Company in the trust department, which he later headed as vice president. He was president of the institution from 1970 to 1974 and served on its board of directors and that of the First National Bank of Louisville. Following his retirement in 1975, he practiced law with a leading local firm.

He was also a director of Caldwell Tanks, Inc., a trustee of the J. Graham Brown Foundation, and a president of the local Estate Planning Council and Legal Aid Society.

He maintained strong ties with the College, serving as president of the Dartmouth Club of Louisville from 1959 to 1966 and as a member of many Alumni Fund and interviewing teams.

He is survived by his wife Jane and son, Joseph R. Gathright Jr. '63, who is an attorney in Louisville.

1932

Word has been received of the death of BELDEN LEE DANIELS on June 12. 80, as he was known to us, was a member of Theta Delta Chi. He became a very active and loyal alumnus; he was the president of the Dartmouth Club of Central Pennsylvania, chairman of the interviewing committee, a class agent, and active in the Campaign for Dartmouth.

During World War II, Bo served as communications officer as a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy. His business career as a banker was honored by his positions of prominence with the American Bankers Association and with the Pennsylvania Bankers Association, for whom he wrote Pennsylvania Birthplace of Banking in America. He was active in community affairs and served as an elder in the Market Square Presbyterian Church of Harrisburg.

Bo was married to Margaret Hull shortly after graduation. He is survived by their three children, including Belden H. '56, and by six grandchildren. His wife Peggy passed away in 1981.

GEORGE FREDERICK DYCHE died May 12. George, who had come to Dartmouth from Evanston, Ill., was a very popular member of the class, until he withdrew because of a prolonged illness. Following his recovery, however, he attended Northwestern University and received his bachelor's and law degrees from that university. His business career included the practice of law in New York City in various capacities. His interest in art and art galleries was important to him.

To his son Daniel, his wife Erika, and his brother David '24 we extend our sympathy.

Word has been received of the death of ROBERT SHAEFFER HANNER on March 31. His last known address was Columbus, Ohio, where he worked in real estate. He is survived by his wife Marguerite and two children.

While Robert was an inactive alumnus of Dartmouth, there are undoubtedly many classmates who knew him while he was a fellow student during the brief time he was with us. To his friends and family, the class extends its sympathy.

WALTER HECTOR MODARELLI, 74, died May 27 at his home in Leonia, N.J., of Alzheimer's disease. In college he played freshman football and was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity and Sphinx. After graduation he completed his second year of the then two-year Dartmouth Medical School. He received his M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1935.

Walter practiced internal medicine in Union City, N.J., for almost 40 years. He was a diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine and a member of the American Society of Chest Physicians. He was a past president of the Hudson County, N.J., Heart Association, and in 1976 was honored by the Central New Jersey Lung Association.

There were certain rare qualities in "Butch," as he was affectionately called by his classmates. These were recognized when they elected him "Class Joy." Some of these attributes may have been his pleasant smile, his gentle manner, his keen wit, and his great aptitude for remembering names and faces. Being with Butch lifted one's spirits.

He also had a great talent for after-dinner speaking, and he entertained his class at reunions and other functions. Anyone who was at a certain reunion in the fifties will never forget his sidesplitting soliloquy in a hay field, nor its premature ending, with a bull chasing off both speaker and audience.

Butch was a loyal man of Dartmouth, supporting the College and his class in every way he could. He attended almost every class reunion and was seen with his family at most of the Dartmouth football games over the years.

Walter was a loving husband to Pauline (Mullin) whom he married in 1939. She survives him, as do his two sons, Walter and Paul, and five grandchildren. To his family and his friends and colleagues, the Class of 1932, in deeply mourning his loss, offers its condolences.

JOSSPH Y. ROBERTS M.D. '32

1934

We have recently learned of the death of ARMAND ARTHUR BENOIT on March 22, 1983. The cause was a ruptured aorta. "Ben" lived in Fairfield, Conn., and before retirement several years ago had been director of manufacturing and engineering contracts for Pitney-Bowes, working out of their Stamford headquarters. He served as liaison for domestic and foreign subcontractors for the information systems and mailing equipment subdivisions.

Ben had come to Dartmouth from Maiden, Mass., High School. He roomed at Fayerweather and was an economics major. His career began with Underwood Corporation where he became work manager of their Bridgeport plant before shifting in 1961 to Pitney-Bowes. His wife Margaret survives him along with their three children, Susanne, Robert '68, and Ruth.

EDWIN RUTHVEN MOORE died May 26, from a cancer-related illness that had caused him to cancel plans to attend the 50th reunion.

Ed joined his family firm, E.R. Moore Company, right after graduation. The firm, an industry leader in the manufacture and sale of caps and gowns, choir robes, and athletic apparel, was bought by Beatrice Foods in 1969. Ed, who had been president since the forties, retired some years afterwards, and moved from the Chicago area to Willits, Calif.

Ed came to Dartmouth from Evanston, Ill., having graduated from the Deane School in Santa Barbara, Calif. He was on The Dartmouth staff, a member of Sigma Chi fraternity, and a Tuck major. During World War II he was an administrative officer on an aircraft carrier, the USS Saratoga, in the Pacific, and for 38 years he edited the annual newsletter for his Navy Flight Air Group.

In his retirement years Ed and his wife Rena had been enjoying family and travel, with their 1983 trip to China a high spot. Ed had the distinction of being father of 1934's class baby, Edwin III, the first son of a '34 graduate. There were four more sons: Michael, William, Anthony, and Timothy. These and four stepchildren and 13 grandchildren, along with Rena, survive him.

1943

FRANK PETER SLINGLUFF JR., a retired petroleum geologist, died at a Fall River, Mass., nursing home on June 17 after an 18-month bout with throat cancer. He succumbed nine days before his 63rd birthday.

A native of Philadelphia, he came to Dartmouth from St. Albans School in Washington, D.C., and graduated under the wartime accelerated program in 1942. He served 40 months in the navy as an aviation ordnance officer in the Pacific theater during World War II.

At Dartmouth, he was a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity and Casque and Gauntlet. He played on the freshman lacrosse team and lived originally in Wheeler Hall.

After his wartime service, Frank won a master's degree in petroleum geology from the University of Texas and worked many years for the Gulf Oil Company in Venezuela, Angola, England, and in the North Sea.

Following his retirement two years ago, he lived in Greensboro, Vt., and in Jamestown, R.I., where he was buried.

He leaves his mother, Helen Floyd-Jones Slingluff of Washington, D.C.; a sister, Suzanne Holcomb, of Hope Town, Bahamas; and a brother, David, of Jamestown, R.I.

1955

WILLIAM RAY DECESARE died suddenly on November 22, 1983. He suffered a heart attack while he was dining in Bethesda, Md. At the time of his death, Bill was the director of the General Clinical Research Center's program at the National Institutes of Health.

Bill came to Dartmouth from Chatham High School in Chatham, N.J. A member of Chi Phi, he had planned to be an engineer, but at the end of his sophomore year Bill determined that medicine was his love. He was admitted to the Dartmouth Medical School at the end of his junior year and received his medical degree from Harvard.

After house training in the Upper Valley, he served as a research fellow and later as an instructor at Georgetown University. Bill came to the Clinical Research at the National Institutes of Health in 1966, and within two years, he was chief of the branch.

Over the next 17 years, he directed a program at NIH that supports a group of clinical research centers where, adhering to the highest ethical standards, the basic advances are translated and applied to the care of human beings. The program needed and obtained in Bill the committed shepherd who served this often lonely mission to nurture and preserve the resources for clinical research in this country.

Bill's eulogy was delivered by Dr. Charles S. Hollander, Director of the General Clinic Research Center of the NYU Medical Center. Dr. Hollander described the results of Bill's efforts and genius as a "vibrant program, securely funded, universally appreciated for the crucial role it plays, and well suited to cope with the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead." This was Bill's legacy.

Bill's second love was sailing and the sea. He had participated in 1983 in the Bermuda race and was planning a transatlantic sail in 1984. Bill is survived by his wife Eleanor; three daughters, Caroline, Martha Jane, and Robin Ray, all of Bethesda, Md.; and a brother, James, of Kansas City, Mo. Memorial contributions are being received by the Dartmouth Medical School.

PAUL H. MANNES '55

1957

FREDERICK WRIGHT SBARBY died on June 12 in an accidental drowning on Lake Erie at Cleveland.

Fred was the son of an army general, killed in action in World War II. After spending most of his youth in the South, he graduated from the Kent School. At Dartmouth he exhibited the goal and achievement-oriented approach that was to make him so successful in later life. His accomplishments included honors English, graduating cum laude, three years as a varsity lacrosse mid-fielder, manager of the hockey team, and membership in Casque and Gauntlet. He then spent three years in the Marine Corps, which remained a lifelong interest: The week he died he was scheduled to have dinner with P.X. Kelley, the Marine Corps commandant.

Fred went on to Harvard Business School where he graduated with distinction, won the Talcott Fellowship, and was chairman of student publications. For 20 years he was with McKinsey and Company, for whom he became managing director of the very successful Cleveland office and chairman of the directors committee. He was the author of a number of articles on strategy, acquisition, and corporate finance published in the United States and European business journals. Two years ago he became president of Bendix Automation. At the time of his death, he had just sold his company, and was deciding between attractive East and West Coast opportunities.

Fred's outside activities included a number of trusteeships for organizations such as United States Council for International Business and the Cleveland University Hospital and University School. Club memberships included the Racket and Tennis Club of New York, the Polo Club of Paris, and Rolling Rock in Pennsylvania.

And yet, to those who knew Fred, the strongest call of all continued to be from a small college in a small town in New Hampshire. His sons, Ned, Dartmouth class of '86, and Derick, Andover class of '86, have buried him in Hanover. And McKinsey has established an F.W. Searby memorial fund at Dartmouth.

CHARLES GRAFTON WHITE died April 26 in North Hampton, N.H., of a heart-related illness.

Charley left Darmouth after his freshman year. He then attended the University of New Hampshire and graduated from Plymouth State Teacher's College. He was an outstanding baseball player and spent two years in the Milwaukee Braves' farm system.

He was a secondary school teacher for many years. At the time of his death, he was teaching math and coaching at Winnacunnet High School in Hampton, N.H. He is survived by his wife, Mary (Oliver), and three children: Lorin, Terry, and Charles Jr.
