MAXFIELD PARRISH JR. died December 22, 1983, of a massive heart attack at his home in Lexington, Mass. The news did not reach us until June 1986 when his widow, Helen, wrote the class secretary. He had been healthy and happy until the day of his death.

Max had been working on the Parrish family papers, his father's and grandfather's, both well known artists, to be given to Dartmouth. The finishing of this work fell to Helen, with all of the artwork and papers in her home. See the feature article on page 36 of the 1986 summer issue of the AlumniMagazine about the collection given to Dartmouth by several members of the Parrish family. The College's collection of material on members of an artists' colony that thrived for 35 years in Cornish, N. H., has for some time been highly regarded. But with the recent gift to Baker Library, Dartmouth's Cornish colony collection becomes the best anywhere, according to Philip Croenwett, chief of special collections at Baker.

He headed its public relations department from 1957 until retirement.

Page was a natural choice for public relations because he loved serving worthy causes. Just a list of those Baltimore organizations which he served as a director or president, is lengthy: American Red Cross, Better Business Bureau, Community Chest, Kiwanis Club, Salvation Army, United Fund, YMCA, and WFPR Broadcasting Studios. Many others he served in less official ways.

For Dartmouth and his class of 1933, Page's efforts were as varied and time-consuming. He was a class agent for the Alumni Fund continuously since 1939; secretary of the Washington, D.C., Dartmouth Club for two years; a long-time member of his class executive committee; Alumni Council member, 1959-1964, and its president in the last year. During 1966-67, Page chaired a committee to re-examine alumni relations. This study and activities stemming from it brought a national award to the Alumni Council. He received the College's Alumni Award in 1966, became '33 class president in 1979, received Class President-of-the-Year-Award in 1982-83, and this year was elected president of the Class Presidents' AsSsociation.

We recently learned that PERRY MOZARTGALLUP died June 1, 1985, at Hartford Hospital, and his wife, Ethel, died shortly thereafter. Their home was in South Windsor, Conn.

Moe was born in Boston but came to Dartmouth from Beaver Falls, Pa., after graduating from Phillips Exeter. He was an economics major, a member of Theta Delta, and on the varsity boxing team. After graduation, he was an inspector for Pratt & Whitney in Hartford. Then during the war he served with the navy, mostly on radio communication assignments, spending the last two years in Recife, Brazil. Postwar he worked as supervisor for Connecticut State Employment Service and then became supervisor in charge of administering state benefit laws at the Veterans Home and Hospital at Rocky River, Conn.

Moe had carried on a family tradition his great-grandfather had graduated here in 1879. He and Ethel were married in 1945, she a teacher at the time. Their son, John, survives them.

1935

We regret reporting the death of ROBERTMELVIN MOODY on July 2. He had suffered from lung cancer since early in the year.

Bob was a nativeof Derry, N.H., and, while he did not graduate with us, many of his family did a fact that made him very proud. They include his father, Howard G. in 1909; a great-grandfather, Charles T. Melvin in 1855; a brother, John G. in 1940; and a nephew, John S. in 1978. Bob, himself, got his B.A. from Boston University in 1936.

He is survived by his wife, Amelia, living in Manchester, N.H., and two daughters, Barbara (UNH 1972, cum laude) and Linda (MIT 1976, M.A., architecture).

In college Bob played in the Barbary Coast. In our 1960 reunion book he reported working in the Bee Bee Shoe Company in Manchester. He was also a member of the Sons of the Revolution.

During World War II he served in France in the 8th Armored Division as a staff sergeant.

On June 9 the College lost a son who had contributed immensely to the research and teaching of neurology.

RICHARD COY SCHNEIDER merits this kind of praise because of his 48-year commitment to the art and science of neurosurgery.

His biography from the University of Michigan fills 17 pages and details his career from his M.D. at Pennsylvania in 1939 to an M.S. from Michigan in 1948, his visiting professorships (31 in all) from Nigeria to Korea, and his lectures around the world, from Australia to Amsterdam. He .was a prolific writer of scholarly articles and books from 1943 to 1983.

From the late sixties to his retirement in 1984 he was interested in football injuries to the head and spine and contributed much to greater safety on the field.

Dick died at home after complications from a colon tumor removed in 1984. In 1985 he was well enough to join us at our 50th reunion, where he "had a great time."

He is survived by his wife, the former Madeleine Thomas, and the neurosurgical fraternity diminished by his loss.

His roommate for three years, Newt Hamblet, calls him "brilliant, kind, thoughtful and generous." They took long canoe trips together back in the thirties, down Lake Champlain and the Connecticut River, and then kept in touch through the years.

Dick came to Dartmouth from Newark, N.J., via Culver Military Academy. He served in the Army Medical Corps from 1943 to 1945, when, as a captain, he was aboard a hospital ship during the invasion of sourthern France.

We have lost a great man modest and quiet in person but mighty in his life's work. To his wife we send our admiration and affection.

1938

FRANKLIN ALFORD RICHARDSON died July 4 in Penrose Hospital, Colorado Springs, Colo. Frank joined our class from Wilbraham Academy. He also attended Tabor Academy. He roomed with Harry Ham in 101 Middle Mass as a freshman. Frank's father, Edward, graduated from Dartmouth in 1980. After leaving college he worked at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and then the Issaquah State Bank in Issaquah, Wash., while attending the University of Washington in Seattle.

He served overseas in England during World War II as a B-17 pilot, 351 st Bomb Group of the Eighth Air Force. Frank stayed in the air force, and his peacetime military career included command of fighter units as well as staff work at North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) in planning and integration of command and control and advanced weapon systems. He became director of combat operations in several manual and automatic air defense regions and was director of computer program control for NORAD at the time of his retirement from the service in 1966 with 14 military decorations.

His retirement years provided the opportunity to engage in fishing, boating, camping, geology, and archeology, and membership in such organizations as Quiet Birdman, Sierra Club, and Wild Rivers Club.

He is survived by Betty Egner, whom he married in 1955, and his three daughters, Cynthia, Pamela, and Stephanie.

Frank's courage, tested in combat, was proven again in his refusal to let a long seige of diabetes and subsequent blindness prevent him from visiting his daughters and friends.

1941

ROBERT W. CAMPBELL died May 31 as a result of an automobile accident that left him in a coma for eight weeks. He was 67. The only "Soup" in the Class of 1941, he came to Dartmouth from Medford, Mass., by way of the Hebron Academy, and, among other things, he came to play hockey. Soup will be remembered for the skill with which he bounced attacking forwards off the boards.

An economics major and a member of Zeta Psi, Soup interrupted his undergraduate education to serve in the U.S Navy from 1940-45. As reported in the ArizonaDaily Star of Tucson, Ariz., June 2, Soup was an officer on the USS Enterprise in the Battle of Midway. Leaving the service as a lieutenant commander, Soup returned to Dartmouth to take his degree in 1948.

Soup Campbell's working career was largely in the field of automobile production, sales, and service, both before and after he moved to Tucson in 1954. For the past seven years he had been an agent with the Roy H. Long Realty Company. Community activities included membership in the Disabled American Veterans and the Tucson Board of Realtors.

Residing at 5078 Placita del Lazo, Tucson, AZ 85715, Soup's widow, for whom the heart of the class is heavy, is Ashby Warden-Campbell. Other survivors include daughters Sara and Susan as well as two sons, Alexis and Robert Jr., and eight grandchildren.

1942

I am very sorry to report the death of DAVID DUNBAR SCHUETZ, which occurred at his home in Wausau, Wise., on April 24.

Dunbar arrived in Hanover from Wausau Senior High School, and during his college career he graduated from Tuck School, was a member of Sigma Nu, and was the drum major for the Dartmouth Marching Band. Following graduation he entered the navy via the V-7 program, and he participated in three Pacific invasions while serving aboard an LST. At the end of the War Dunbar became executive secretary to the president of the Marathon Corporation, and in 1955 he joined the Wisconsin Valley Trust Company in Wausau as a member of the Trust Department, where he went on to become first vice-president.

When not being a banker, Dunbar was active in the YMCA, Red Cross, Chamber of Commerce, March of Dimes, and the American Heart Association, as well as being heavily involved with Masons and Rotary.

Dunbar was a part of a large Dartmouth family that included his brother-in-law, the late Ronnie Westgate '42, cousin Dan Hagge '42, a cousin in '39, a brother in '49, a niece in '78, and a nephew in '77.

The class of '42 extends sympathy to Ginnie and their three children.

We have been advised of the death of JOHN A. VALKEVICH, which occurred on March 27 at the AtlantiCare Medical Center after he was stricken at his home in Lynnfield, Mass.

John came to Dartmouth via Classical High School in Lynn, Mass., and while in college he was a member of Chi Phi fraternity. He left college in November of 1941 to become a fighter pilot in the Army Air Corps and retired in June of 1945 as a captain following a plane crash in Alaska.

He was a self-employed insurance broker and realtor with the Valkevich Agency in Lynnfield.

John was a dedicated citizen of his town, having served as a volunteer fireman, chairman of the finance committee, chairman of the Board of Registrars, board of directors of the Red Cross and chairman of the bloodmobile drive, to name just a few.

The class extends sympathy to his wife, Dot, and their five children, including Tom '68.

1945

Dartmouth and the class of 1945 lost a staunch supporter with the death of JAMES A. SPANOS on July 27. Jim died at his house in Manchester, N. H., after a year's illness.

A lifelong resident of Manchester, Jim graduated from Manchester Central High School in 1940. He also graduated from Kimball Union Academy, 1941, and from Dartmouth in 1945. While at Dartmouth, he was a member of the V-12, serving with the U.S. Marine Corps.

Starting in the liquor industry in 1952 as state manager for Schenley Distillers, Jim owned his own brokerage at the time of his death. The James S. Spanos Company sponsors the annual Dewar's "White Label" Open Golf Tournament at Derryfield Country Club, Manchester.

His affiliations included membership in Washington Lodge No. 61; F & M, N. H. Consistory 32 degree; Bektash Temple; Order of Alpha, Chapter 44; American Legion Sweeney Post; Pan-Macedonian Association; and Derryfield Country Club. He was also active in the Kimball Union Academy Alumni Association as class agent.

In 1973, in appreciation of his own excellent education, Jim established the Stergiosm D. Spanos Memorial Scholarship Fund at St. George's Greek Orthodox Cathedral in his father's memory. Each year, this fund assists area students of Greek descent with college tuition. Thirteen students benefitted from the program this year.

In addition to his wife, Amy (Paras) Spanos, Jim is survived by his daughter, Stephanie J. Spanos of Manchester and Boston, and his son and daughter-in-law, Sturgess J. and Annie G. Spanos of Paris, France.

I am fortunate in having known Jim for most of my life. Those of us who knew him well will always remember his "droll" sense of humor. I can also attest from personal knowledge that Jim always remained a loyal "son" of Dartmouth!

RICHARD A. "COTTON" JOHNSON, of Syracuse, N.Y., and Brewster, Cape Cod, Mass., lived until July 2. Husband of Verah, father of Jeffrey, Peter, Karen, and Sally; professor at Syracuse University for 25 years, physicist, world problem activist, would-be Peace Corp/Vista worker to Kenya, Africa; house designer and builder, boat sailor, Dartmouth athlete in football and hockey, straight "A" student, advisor, good friend, and member of the class of '47 at Dartmouth. These words describe Cot- ton's life over roughly half of his life, until 1959.

In 1964, the medical diagnosis confirmed the creeping inability to function as multiple sclerosis and the nervous system began to die slowly from the legs upward.

There were lots of good visits and discussions, many friendly brews raised, and Cotton made it for three weddings at the Cape. Cotton's friends remained close; he was that type of person, whom you value even if you can only hold a hand and not speak or communicate except for the eyes and a smile.

Cotton displayed all the qualities of greatness in his college years, as a persistent, hard trying, coordinated, and muscular athlete, exceptional student with refreshing mental clarity, and with a love for the funmaking part of life, but always with the serious appreciation of life and the world. His children carry these on his legacy. He has now gone to peaceful rest, willing his system to medical science to help solve the mysteries of his affliction. Cotton has been, and will continue to be missed by his class- mates.

1952

At Suffield Academy, there's a soccer field. On a boulder on this field is a bronze plaque inscribed "The PAUL G. SANDERSONJR. Soccer Field."

I always marvelled that a guy with Sanderson's bad eyes was one of our best soccer players. Indeed, he went on to coach soccer for 25 years at Suffield, was the force behind the formation of the Western New England Secondary School Soccer League and the Hartford Bi-Centennials professional soccer team! Nothing held Sandy back.

Sandy taught history at Suffield, became head of the history department, admissions director, and ultimately headmaster. In 1968, Sandy founded ASSIST, a non-profit institution which brings students and teachers from around the world to study in American secondary schools. In 1978, he moved to Wilder, Vt., and devoted full time to ASSIST. During the past 18 years, ASSIST has brought hundreds of Europeans to merca. One of Sandy's proudest achievements was the establishment of the program in China last year. Sandy's family is determined that ASSIST will continue.

Sandy was the son of Dr. Paul G. Sanderson '21, and the father of Paul G. Sanderson 111 '78. He was born at Longmeadow, Mass., and prepped at Deerfield. He was president of Phi Psi and a member of Green Key and the Inter-Fraternity Council. He leaves Gail, his college girlfriend and wife of 33 years, four children, and two in-laws. Sandy died of pneumonia on June 21, a Saturday.

Contributions to the Paul G. Sanderson Jr. 1952 memorial fund should be sent to the College.

Going to the services, my daughter, Betsy, a Suffield alum, said, "The Indians believe it's good luck to die when the moon's full to light the way."

"Yeah?" I said. "Saturday was full moon." Good omen, Cousin Weak-Eyes.
