ORT HICKS '21

EARL KENNETH SMILEY, who came to Dartmouth from Caribou, Maine, died of cancer on April 9, 1983 in Manchester, N.H.

Starting as dean of student affairs at the University of North Dakota, he remained there until 1934. Parenthetically let me remark that this was undoubtedly to our disadvantage, for if he had remained in North Dakota, Dartmouth would presumably have attracted more applicants; that is the only state not represented in the current freshman class.

He also took up golf seriously and became devoted to the game. His handicap always was in the single digits. In 1963 he sold his business and bought a house in Whispering Pines, N.C., for the climate and the love of golf. He became a member of the staff of Pinehurst Resorts and later was appointed to the position of captain of the "Tin Whistles," a club within the Pinehurst Club consisting of local gentlemen who love golf and play the game regularly and strictly by the rules. Bill organized their tournaments and was paid a salary for this. The job carried with it much prestige and color and Bill was a popular figure at the club.

Having been roommates at the Beta House, Bill and I remained good friends throughout. We were in touch by phone several times a year and managed occasional visits which usually included, a golf game.

I never saw Bill in a foul mood or without a warm smile and cheery word. He was a fine friend.

1960

Early this year, we began to make plans for our 30th high school reunion. We were looking forward to seeing RICHARD LEIGHREYNOLDS, with whom we had gone through the Westfield, N.H., school system and on to Dartmouth. News of his death on June 24 suddenly cut short our plans.

Our years in high school were full of the music we both loved: jazz. Dick's style with the tenor sax and his style in life could both have been characterized by the term of those times, "cool." He was at ease with life.

At Dartmouth, he played with the Barbary Coast and in small groups. Dick brought organizational skills to the Coast, which led to their LP album, "Hanover Dance Party," a terrific big band sound.

Upon graduation, Dick entered the navy. His service included duty during the Vietnam War. We lost touch for a long time after that. But, when he reentered our lives a few years ago, he had an amazing story to share. After the navy, Dick had settled on the West Coast. He entered the real estate business at the beginning of the legendary boom in Southern California. Through good sense, or boredom (as he would describeit), he cashed in everything in the seventies and bought a large sailboat. He sailed from San Diego south around South America to Florida. There the boat was sold in favor of moving to a farm in Maine.

On the road north, Dick spent a night at our home. He still had that inner peace and togetherness which had been his personal trademark since our years in high school.

He moved to Boothbay Harbor, where he owned a sheep farm and dealt in antiques. Surviving is his daughter, Linea C. Reynolds, in Boothbay.

PETER JAMES HOLLAND, who spent the last decade of his life as chairman of the English department at Kimball Union Academy, died on September 16 after a long illness.

He took his job seriously. On his most recent Dartmouth alumni survey form, completed almost a year to the day before he died, Peter described his job as "teaching children to read, write, and think so that they can succeed at Dartmouth and other places."

Peter, who was an English major as an undergraduate and who spent three summers at Dartmouth participating in the MALS program, lived in Meriden, N.H., which is not far from the campus. He noted on that 1985 survey: "I take advantage of the College's cultural offerings. It is a good place."

An Ontario native, Peter graduated magna cum laude from Kimball Union Academy before coming to Dartmouth. Peter's major undergraduate activity was the Glee Club and the Injunaires, now the Dartmouth Aires. He continued that interest after graduation, singing in choirs all his life.

He is survived by his wife, Patricia, his mother, Louise "Nan" Holland of Weld, Maine; three brothers, Michael Holland of London, Ontario, Jeffrey Holland of Toronto, and Timothy Holland of Jackman, Maine, and his eight stepchildren.

Memorials may be sent to the St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Hanover, NH 03755, or to the English Department, Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, NH 03770.
