Another of '93's stalwarts has passed on. Dr. Frank W. Miller died Sept. 27, 1947, at the Good Samaritan Hospital, Dayton, Ohio.

"Dayton," as he was known to us, made a notable record during his life serving both his city and his state as a leader in educational affairs.

We, his classmates, mourn his loss, knowing full well, however, that he has gone with a "Well done, thou good and faithful servant" following him.

"Billy" Jaruis sent word of Dayton's death to your secretary at the Floronton Hotel, St. Petersburg, Florida.

On our way South we stopped and chatted with Judge Griffith at his office in Manchester, Vermont. "Eddie" is very active as lawyer, banker, judge and adviser in general to the summer arid permanent residents of that beautiful town.

Soon after our arrival at St. Petersburg, your secretary talked with Arthur Arnold, who had but recently returned to St. Petersburg for the winter, after spending most of the summer in the Pocono Mountains at Buck Hill Falls, Pennsylvania. He advises that his grandson, Frank M. Hutchins of Rochester, N. Y., graduated with honors last June at Dartmouth and is now continuing in the Tuck School at Hanover.

Arnold's address is care The DeVoe Apartments, St. Petersburg.

Before leaving for the south, President Cox and your secretary conferred, presumably on Class matters, but it turned out to be just a nice old fashioned talkfest.

Our Fifty-Fifth is next year, and June 11-12

have been designated as the dates. We had a good time last year at our so-called Fiftieth. Let's all plan on as good and perhaps a better one next year.

Rev. "Shorty" Bowers wrote in October that he is living with his brother at 183 Main St., Fort Plains, New York. We had hoped to see him some time during the summer or on our way south but were not able to arrange it. He is apparently in pretty good health.

An enjoyable letter from Mrs. Kinney of Ellsworth Falls, Maine, tells of her home life, its joys and its sorrows. She had the misfortune of breaking her hip some time ago, but she cheerfully writes of being able to attend to household duties without the aid of her cane, which she finds necessary to use out-of-doors. During the summer she had callers from Mexico, Canada and eight different states. Her flowers and house plants are her chief source of joy.

Secretary, Floronton Hotel, St. Petersburg, Fla.
