1897

For years Pringle has been indefatigable. He has visited schools in remote parts of the state; he has organized educational conferences; he has administered the best state school code in America and has done it in a way that has brought to him the support and esteem of school people and of all New Hampshire citizens. As Deputy or as Chief he has been in the state office for more than 22 years. A notable service.

This last month he found it necessary to submit to a serious operation at a Concord Hospital. By all reports he is nowmaking a good recovery.

Arthur Bacon, college professor in remote Beirut, is looking forward to retirement after another year and then a real vacation at his home in Amesbury. Last spring he required hospital care and then a summer of recuperation at his campus home. To conserve strength during the college terms, he occupies rooms on the same floors with his laboratories. He states that the war situation has had little effect upon his work except to delay greatly all American letters.

It has been a long hard winter; hard for Morton C. Tuttle with weeks of sickness, an unusual experience for this energetic man of affairs; hard for Hamilton Gibson in his Florida orange groves at Orlando, waiting for summer when he can be again in New England. He has sold his Evanston home and can spend winters near his citrous son and summers near his engineering son in Duxbury, Mass.

Mrs. Paul R. Clay is matron at the Marville House, 273 Clarendon St., Boston.

All classmates will recall A. J. Smith, one of the oldest members of our class. Smith, clergyman, postmaster, poet, realtor, died some years ago in Oklahoma. The children have kept together, are through college, married and engaged in business. Mrs. Smith is now Mrs. Allen J. Jenkins and her home is still in Drummond.
