CLASS OF 1883

In the death of W. G. Bean, which occurred at Brunswick, Me., June 29, the class of '83 lost one of its most successful and most loyal members.

" Failing health obliged Mr. Bean to relinquish his connection with the Boston and Maine in May, and he had since been under the constant care of a physician. Mr. Bean was a man of many excellent qualities, thoroughly loyal to his company and his friends, and a very able railroad man. In 1895 he was appointed assistant superintendent of the southern division, Boston and Maine railroad, and a jew months later was made division superintendent. This position he filed until compelled by the condition of his health to retire last month. Mr. Bean had resided in Winchester since 1896, and was one of the town's most popular residents. He was an active Mason, being a member of Woburn Royal Arch chapter, of William Parkman lodge of Winchester, and of DeMolay commandery of Boston. He left a wife, and a son of 14."

Three members of '83 are at present teaching in New Hampshire. They are : Frederick W. Doring, principal of Concord high school; George Winch, principal of the Varney grammar school, Manchester ; and S. W. Robertson, principal of the Rochester high school. Doring is secretary of the High School Masters' Club, in whose organization he was the prime mover, and is also a member of the Committee on Legislation of the State Teachers'Association. Winch is a member of the same committee, and has been president of the association. He is often called on by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction to give addresses at teachers' institutes. Robertson has also been " through the chairs" of the state association, and has been secretary-treasurer of the Educational Council of New Hampshire since its organization in 1898. The Council is fast becoming the most influential educational body in the state, acting as an advisory body to the superintendent in many matters.
