Except for a year as an aviation cadet in 1918, he spent the rest of his life in Arizona, as a rancher and then as postmaster of Prescott. But there was always time for writing his cowboy songs and verses, most of which are collected in "Orejana Bull," published in 1935 and in eight subsequent editions. The most celebrated of his poems is "The Sierry Petes," subtitled "Tying the Knots in the Devil's Tail." It describes a raucous encounter between the Devil and two rangeriding cowboys.

Emerson Frisbie Cooley died on December 7 in Florida. An editorial of the Rutland, Vt., Daily Herald of December 22, "A Remarkable Family," noted that Jim was the last of a Randolph, Vt., family of five brothers who "enjoy almost legendary status" in that town, and used a summary of Jim's career as an introduction to the editorial.

Jim came to Dartmouth from Randolph High. He was a member of the Round Table, of the Mathematics Club, and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. By dint of hard work and scholarships Jim was reputed to have had more money in his savings account after he was graduated than before matriculation. Such discipline and acumen, along with his record, were noticed by Prudential Insurance where he started in the early thirties. He became director of the Plans and Methods Department, where early computer technology was incorporated. His expertise in this field took him to England during World War II to participate in programming the subsequent strategic bombing of the Continent.

Jim had served as president of the Bernardsville (N.J.) Board of Education, and of the Village Players. While residing there he had helped substantially in the annual Alumni Fund campaigns. He is survived by his wife, Helen, his daughter Linda, and his sons Philip and Michael.

Calling him active in community life is an understatement.

He served in the New England Society of News Editors and the Associated Press News Executives Association, acted with the Town Players, was addicted to golf, and was the Eagle's drama critic.

From Dartmouth Swede went to Washington University Medical School where he obtained his M.D. in 1934. A memorable event during his subsequent internship in St. Louis was his celebrating with classmate Hal Andres Dartmouth's first victory over Yale in football, from which celebration he never recalled how he returned to his quarters. Then came residency, start of a practice in Denver, a call by Uncle Sam, Australia, work with combat units in New Guinea, and malaria. Finally he got back to his family and to practice in Denver.

As an alumnus Swede maintained his contact with Dartmouth, having been president of the Dartmouth Association of the Great Divide from 1961-64, an assistant class agent, and having served on the CFD Leadership Committee. Golf was his hobby.

Harry came to Dartmouth from the Irving School in Tarrytown, N.Y. He was a member of Theta Delta Chi and of the varsity fencing team. He was president of Le Cercle Frangais and majored in French. That, together with his fluency in Spanish, was solid preparation for mastering Portuguese, the language of Brazil, where he was to make his career.

He put the tough thirties behind him when he began work in 1940 with Singer Sewing Machine in sales and service in Brazil, a country which he got to know well, and where he met his future wife, Helena. Later he joined Equipamentos Wayne do Brasil (gasoline pumps and service station equipment), rising to treasurer, and was elected executive vice president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Rio.

Helena and Harry attended our 50th Reunion, leaving many of us wishing that they lived nearer. So Brazilian and so beautiful was the phrasing in the notice of his death: "His ashes will be scattered over the Atlantic Ocean, which brought him to this country 48 years ago." He is survived by Helena and by their son Carlos.

He devoted many hours to the DOC, was active in Cabin and Trail and Bait and Bullet, and became president of the DOC as a senior. Bob was also in Army ROTC, but a serious back injury kept him from active service. After graduation he went to Tuck School and received his M.B.A. in 1967. He met Martha Ives, a 1966 Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Mt. Holyoke and the daughter of Professor and Mrs. Almon Ives, while both were working in Hanover in the summer of 1964. They were married in 1966. After Tuck, Bob and Marty moved to Lock Haven, Pa., where they worked for Piper Aircraft. Both became private pilots.

In 1974 Bob joined Rohm & Haas Co. in Philadelphia where, over the years, he held a number of responsible positions. Last summer he was transferred to London to become chief financial officer for the European operations of Rohm & Haas.

The Owenses were people of deep religious faith, active in church and community affairs wherever they lived. Classmates will remember Bob for his great love of the out-doors, his organizational skills, his integrity, and his practical jokes. One of these was his plan to hang our class numerals over the clock face on Baker Tower late one night during the fall of freshman year. His plan was close to success when the ground crew, of which the undersigned was a part, got cold feet at the approach of a campus police car and threatened to abandon him. Bob reluctantly aborted the mission, to our relief and his great disappointment.

The class extends its sympathy to Bob's parents, Marty's parents, ana their families.
