CLASS OF 1902

Edward Francis Cregg, principal of the Bruce Grammar School of Lawrence, Mass., died January 27, 1917. Mr. Cregg was born in Lawrence November 12, 1879, his parents being Edward and Rose Cregg, and received his preliminary education in the public schools of that city, where he was prominent as an athlete. While in college he made the varsity nine, playing third base. After leaving college he played summer baseball in the White Mountains. He became a teacher of history in the Lawrence High School in the fall of 1902, secured a leave of absence in 1906-07, and became a salesman for Ginn and Company. In 1907 he was elected athletic coach of the Lawrence High School, and remained in that position until he was elected principal of the Bruce Grammar School in 1911. As a coach he was eminently .successful and exceedingly popular. The same success and popularity followed him in the teaching line. In; 1909 he spent the summer in Europe. He was married in August, 1913, to Miss Helen F. Walker, who survives him, with his parents. As an evidence of the popularity of Mr. Cregg in Lawrence, it only remains to say that all the public schools were closed on the day of his funeral, January 29, and that the city .council meeting was postponed and the mayor, the board of education, and most of the city officials, as well as a host of leading citizens, attended his funeral. The class of 1902 of Dartmouth was represented by Dr. John C. O'Connor of Manchester, N. H., and Dr. John F. Griffin of Brooklyn.
