HENRY SPERO passed away on January 8 in Portland, Ore. He had lived for many years in the Chicago area, where he had established his business, Type & Press of Illinois, Inc., which he operated successfully. Troubled with ill health, he had moved recently to Portland, Ore., for better climatic conditions.

In 1925 he married Polly S. Susselman, who survives him. To them two children were born, Nancy and Carol, both talented. Henry was a quiet, studious young man while at Dartmouth, qualities he demonstrated in later years in his business life.

The Class of 1920 regrets his passing and extends its sympathy to his wife and family.

Henry had hoped his grandson, a Ph.D. candidate at Yale in June of 1981, might join the economics faculty at Dartmouth, but the young man went elsewhere. A nephew, James Robin Saphir '57, did, however, attend Dartmouth.
