Through the thoughtfulness of Lola Keating, the College was recently informed of the death of CHARLES JOHN MCDONOUGH on August 18. During the last five years Charlie had had several operations for cancer. His wife, Anne, also died of cancer on January 6, 1984. There are no known living relatives.

In college Charlie majored in psychology and was a member of Sigma Nu fraternity. As an alumnus he served as an assistant class agent for 20 years and as a member of the 1930 executive committee. He received an LL.B. from St. John's College in 1933, and in 1939 returned to St. John's for a J.S.D. degree.

He began his legal practice in 1933 as a trial attorney for the Zurich Insurance Company. In 1935 he joined the office of the New York County district attorney; in 1943 he became district attorney, a position he then held for 22 years, resigning in 1965 to become an assistant attorney general of New York State.

During these years he was a member of the Metropolitan Republican Club, a board member of Greater New York Councils, a 25-year member of the Boy Scouts of America, a fellow of the Spanish Institute, and a member of the American-Irish Historical Society and of other professional and social organizations.

Charlie retired in November 1967, and he and Anne pulled up their roots and moved to Dublin, Ireland, where they lived until five years ago, with semiannual visits to the U.S., travels on the continent, and winters in Spain. In 1979, with health problems and, as Charlie said, the rising cost of living in Europe, they moved back to New York - in time to attend the 50th reunion in June 1980, their last reunion.

STANTON MILLER OSGOOD passed away suddenly on August 15. James M. Thomson Jr., a lifelong friend, handled funeral arrangments in Washington, D.C., and thoughtfully advised the class through Fred Scribner. George Porter and Wayne Van Leer represented the class. The ashes were flown to Berlin, N.H., Stan's family home.

Stan will be remembered by classmates as student director of the Dartmouth Players and for playing the double bass in the symphony orchestra. A number of us will also remember that in June 1945 Stan hosted, at his Washington apartment, a 15th-reunion party for some 26 classmates and wives who were confined to Washington by World War II and were unable to attend the class reunion in Hanover.

Stan's interest in show business led him into working for Paramount and RKO Pathe on short subjects prior to serving as director of TV operations for NBC from 1950 to 1956. He then turned to advertising work with Ted Bates, Inc., in New York until 1962, when he became business manager for the Will Rogers Hospital and O'Donnell Research Institute at Saranac Lake, N.Y.

A. WAYNE VAN LEER '30

1931

HERMAN TEMPLE NIETER died suddenly at his Evanston, III., home on October 15. He had been professionally active throughout his post-Dartmouth career as a consultant and an inventor in the electronics industry.

He earned his master's degree in physics from Harvard in 1933, and before World War II he worked with Kearney and Trecker Corporation, Milwaukee manufacturers of milling machinery, as an electrical controls engineer.

As a licensed professional engineer, he later went into private work and was awarded a number of patents. One of these, for a plated printed circuit devised in 1947, was still in use in the automobile industry 30 years later. Temple once wrote, "I really like the independence of consulting and designing on my own hook."

He had many outside interests, including amateur radio and model and live steam railroading and boating. Many of his articles were published in various magazines covering these fields. He was one of the founders and the first commander of both the Chicago Power Squadron and the Evanston Power Squadron.

He is survived by his wife, Dorothy, two daughters, one son, and five grandchildren.

His great-great-grandfather, Samuel Temple, graduated from Dartmouth in 1796, and a great-uncle, Dr. William Temple Sr., did so in 1876.

1932

Notice has been received of the death of CHARLES CARL HOUSEL, in Prosser, Wash., on September 20 following a long illness.

Charles, whom we knew as Charles C. Cunningham, was a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity while at Dartmouth. It is significant that his remarks in our 50th reunion yearbook extolled his Dartmouth experience as the most interesting of his life.

Charles devoted his life to education and was recognized by being named president of the Yakima Junior High School Principals Association. To his wife and their two children, our class wishes to extend its deepest sympathy.

We have word that WILLIAM FULLER PECK died suddenly in Hyannis, Mass., on August 8. He and his wife had had lunch just a few days before with Doug and Bea Woodring '31, who are well known to many of us, and Doug reported that Bill seemed to be in fine shape at that time.

Bill was a member of Zeta Psi fraternity. He majored in engineering, which prepared him for a lifetime of research, product development, and management, moving from his family firm of Peck Television Company to the American Optical Company in 1934 for a long career of increasing responsibilities, in several divisions of that firm. In 1960 he was named president and director of the American Optical Company, Ltd., Canada.

For Bill, the apex of his career must have been being named vice president and general manager of the new Space-Defense Division, which was involved with advanced technologies such as fiber optics and lasers.

In his community, Bill was involved with numerous good causes, such as the United Way and the Harrington Hospital.

To his wife, Aleen, his son and daughter, and seven grandchildren, we extend our heartfelt sympathy.

1933

ARTHUR FREDERICK CONNELLY died on October 30, in a Lynn, Mass., hospital after a lengthy illness. He had been a longtime resident of Lynn and had been owner and president of Connelly's Candies, a candy manufacturing business which his father had founded there in 1917.

Art was born in Arlington, Mass., grew up in the neighboring city of Swampscott, and graduated from its high school, where he starred in football and track. At Dartmouth, he was on both the freshman and varsity football teams and was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity and of Green Key.

Following graduation, Art joined the family business, opened a branch store in Salem, Mass., and became head candy maker for the company in 1939. Service in the U.S. Army Air Force from 1943 to 1946 interrupted his business career, but he returned to take over management and control until the business was sold in 1979.

Art was active in business and community affairs. He served as president of the Lynn YMCA, the Visiting Nurse Association, and the Merchants Association. He was a past president of the New England Retail Confectioners Association, a past director of the Retail Confectioners International, and a member of the Lynn Rotary Club. When time permitted, he was an ardent skier and golfer.

Arthur is survived by his wife, Mary, a son, Daniel '64, a daughter, Eileen, and a granddaughter. The class of 1933 extends its sympathy to this family.
