1892, was recently honored by the students of his W illia m C . H o ld e n , school by the hanging of a portrait in the school of which he is the first principal. In 1927, the University conferred an honorary degree upon Mr. Holden. Following graduation as a mechanical engineer he went to St. Paul, Minnesota, where he introduced Manual Training into the elementary schools, doing similar work at Cleveland, Ohio, and Portland, Maine, the following two years. In 1895, he joined the faculty of Lynn English High School where he established the Manual Training course. Seven years later he was made director of similar work in the Hartford Public High School. In 1913 he was appointed vice­ principal and with the opening of the new Thomas Snell Weaver High School, he was made principal. Mr. Holden has served as a director of the Hartford Chamber of Commerce and the Young Men’s Christian Association. He was a member of the Food Commission during the war and was instrumental in organizing the American­ ization work now known as the Bureau of Adult Education.

Fred Carlton Mitchell hasgraduating been a high from the University principal in in 1900. He has successively served as principal in Fort Fairfield, 2 years; Camden, 5 years; Danvers, Mass. 2 years; Arlington, Mass., 6 years and since 1915 has been head of Lynn Classical High School in which there are 1000 students. Next year there will be about 1600 students. Mr. Mitchell is past president of Lynn Kiwanis Club and at present district trustee of that organization; is a member of the Chamber of Com­ merce, and president of the Allied Service Council. He is also past president of the Massachusetts Principals Association and is now president of a club of high school principals. He is a member of several national and state educational organisations and has been called upon to deliver many addresses at state or district meetings of educa­ tional associations in New England and elsewhere. In college Mr. Mitchell was prominent in many student activities including debating, The Prism, The Cadet, class officer and orator. He is a member of Phi Gamma Delta and Phi Beta Kappa fraternities. He holds both a bachelor and a master of arts degree from the Uni­ versity.

Charles S. Gerrish, who graduated from the University in 1911, has acted during four years as Principal of the South Side Junior High School in Oil City, Pennsylvania. Graduated from the University with a B.S. degree, he obtained an advanced degree in Civil Engineering in 1917. Imme­ diately after graduation, Mr. Gerrish obtained a position with the Eastern Maine Railroad Company of Bangor, which he left in 1912 to go with the Boston and Maine Railroad. The following year he moved south to Oil City, Pennsylvania, where he worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad, and from 1914 to 1916 he was associated with the United Mutual Gas Company, also in Oil City. In 1916, Mr. Gerrish began his work as an educator, when he became a teacher of high school mathematics. Relin­ quishing this position in 1926 to become Principal of the South Side Junior High School in Oil City, he continued in this last capacity until 1930, when he returned to Kittery Point, Maine. During the last fall and winter he has been engaged in the civil engineering business for himself. In 1915 he married Miss Marian Z. Sleeman. They have one daughter, aged 12, and a two year old son. Mr. Gerrish’s chief hobby is pitching horseshoes, at which he has become very proficient. His records include the championships of Oil City, 8 straight double ringers (which is quite a feat for any man,) and 43 ringers in one 50-point game. 122 THE MAINE ALUMNUS March, 1931

"Once Again M.aine Stands Out" is getting to be a familiar phrase along the American Business Front. To those of us who know our M A IN E and the resourcefulness of her sons and daughters— in all lines of endeavor —this delayed recognition is gratifying. For a generation or two a goodly portion of the country west of Kittery has thought of MAINE in terms of a Summer Vacation or—Frigid Air. Therefore we are happy to reproduce at this particular time the above clipping from the World’s center of Commerce and Finance. MAINE’S Agriculture has likewise prospered. While serious droughts were devastating crops in other large areas, Maine received a plentiful supply of rain. Her crops will equal if not surpass old records. SUMMERS fertilizers have again contributed a substantial share to Maine’s Agricultural Prosperity. Whether times are good or bad, the use of SUMMERS Quality Fertilizers is the best insurance obtainable for maximum crops. If you are a buyer of fertilizer and do not use SUMMERS “Best On Earth” brands you are not getting your full share of Prosperity.
