Class of 1893
At Passaic, N. J., Superintendent of Schools Arthur D. Arnold has been re-appointed to that position for three years, at a salary of $7,000 a year, by unanimous vote of the board of education, whose members in taking this action spoke in the highest terms of Mr. Arnold's work during the past year. On the same day Mr. Arnold received the compliment of an invitation from Governor A. Harry Moore of New Jersey to serve on the reception committee for the dinner given by the state to Professor Albert Einstein on March 25 at Newark.
Another of our educators, Harry McLaren, has been doing a swell job as acting principal of the Manchester High School since the death of the principal. If the wishes of those who have the welfare of the school at heart are fulfilled, he will be elected as its permanent head.
Judge Edward Griffith writes of receiving a letter from Mrs. Zora F. McKenzie, widow of our Charles R. McKenzie and mother of Alexander A. McKenzie '32, of whom we have heard so much as a member of the weather observation party on the summit of Mount Washington. Mrs. McKenzie's address is 323 Myrtle St., Albany, N. Y., and we are sorry to learn that she has been ill for two years following an accident.
The Judge also informs us that his son-in-law, Emory C. Mower, has become associated with that good Dartmouth law firm in Boston, Bartlett, Jennings & Smith.
Colonel Charles A. French, city engineer of Laconia, N. H., has been made a member of a new city planning board there. An outside expert was called in to view the situation and in the course of his report said: "Your Colonel French in his quietway has carried out many ideas of zoning.A little done here and a little done therehave made a sum total of many things."
Mrs. Jennie E. Runnells, widow of Fred, has been elected president of the Nashua Woman's Club. We do not think, any grandson of '93 is ready for college yet, but Edward T. Bryant of Chicago, Dartmouth '37, is Fred's grand-nephew.
We hope some of those sophisticated urbanites who used to poke fun at Billy Mann and the Secretary because we hailed from the hamlet of Penacook are noticing how often that name is being printed in the metropolitan press in connection with the exploits of one Robert Abial Rolfe, who, by the way, is Billy's cousin.
President Cox, appointed on an important taxpayers' committee by Mayor Mansfield of Boston, appeared in the press account as "general manager" of the John Hancock Insurance Company.
In New Hampshire March meetings J. Vinton Stillings was reelected as town clerk of Surry and E. Bell Weston as moderator of the Derry school district.
Secretary, 104 North State St., Concord, N. H.
