CLASS of 1893
There are not as many subscribers to the ALTJMNI MAGAZINE from 1893 as there ought to be. The Secretary has managed to collect some class news for almost every issue of the MAGAZINE since he was elected, he will try to keep up that record; and it would be an appreciated token of interest on the part of the boys if more of them would subscribe.
Miss Mary Louise Griffith, University of Vermont 1925, daughter of Judge and Mrs. Edward Griffith, married recently Attorney Guy B. Townsend of Rutland, Vt., U.V.M. '22. The ceremony took place at the home in East Dorset, Vt., of the bride's grandmother, Mrs. Mary K. Griffith. The Judge gave away the bride; her sister, Mrs. Emory C. Mower, was matron of honor; and we note that Brother Tom, who assisted at several '93 reunions, was present, with Mrs. Tom, from Hohokus, N. J.
The Manchester Leader printed an excellent picture of Mr. and Mrs. Harry N. McLaren in connection with a reunion of the class of 1911, Manchester High School, where Mac is one of the oldest and most popular members of the faculty.
In spite of the burdens of administering his late father's large estate, Sam Hunt continues his work with the Public Service Company of New Hampshire, and has been elected president of the Institute Players, a highly successful "little theater" group at Manchester.
From a publication of the American Kennel Club we learn that W. G. Aborn, Upland Way, Barrington, R. 1., is a licensed judge of Irish terriers and Schipperkes.
Three hundred people from six Vermont towns gathered at Shrewsbury for a surprise gathering in honor of the 25th wedding anniversary of Dr. and Mrs. Herbert S. Martyn. Abbott sent the Secretary a newspaper clipping describing the event and referring to the activity in eugenics of our lawmaking classmate.
President Guy W. Cox was one of the representatives of the Boston Bar Association at the funeral of Thomas W. Proctor '79. Guy's most recent New Hampshire activity is backing the annual Pittsfield fair and horse show.
The busiest man we met this summer was Colonel Charles A. French, who, in the month of August, in addition to discharging his usual duties as commissioner of public works of the city of Laconia, ran a two weeks' National Guard tour of duty at Rye Beach and a reunion of war veterans at The Weirs; and played in the American Legion drum corps.
The W. W. Browns have been active socially, this summer, as usual, at their Sunapee summer home. W. W. was one of the judges at the annual regatta. In one of his articles in Harry Metcalf's paper, the Newport Argus-Champion, Colonel Brown remembered and told some interesting tales out of (Dartmouth) school.
The recent birth of a son to Mr. and Mrs. Harold French of West Lebanon was an addition to the fine flock of grandchildren of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel P. French of that town.
We have some good stories from the Lawrence, Mass., district court, in our file, but perhaps we had better save them for next month's MAGAZINE.
Your class notes will appear regularly. Subscribe for the year.
