Henry Pennypacker '88 is leaving today to attend the thirty-eighth annual meeting of the Head Masters Association on February 7, and 8, to be held at Briarcliff Lodge, at Scarborough-on-Hudson, New York.
Mr. Pennypacker will not take a long trip this year as he has often done. Last year he was away on a three week tour which carried him as far as Atlanta and on which he spoke in schools of the principal southern cities.
W.S. Gifford '05, of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company is another of those who is expected to speak at this gathering. Gifford is to be the Chief Marshal at this year's Commencement.
At the meeting in New York, there will be speeches by many nationally known men. Among these will be Professor Rans Zinsser, of the Harvard Medical School, where he has been professor of Bacteriology and Immunology since 1923. Although Mr. Pennypacker does not annually take a long trip, he often is able to link up various invitations to speak at schools in the East so that he can complete the whole on one circuit instead of making numerous short ones. Later on this year he will visit several local schools, including short trips to Andover and Exeter, and a longer one to Hotchkiss and Salisbury in March.
Mr. Pennypacker was a regular member of the Association for 12 years while he was headmaster of the Boston Latin School, and he is now an honorary member. The Association was founded in 1902, and at the present time consists of approximately 150 headmasters, including the men at the head of all the prominent local schools such as Andover, Exeter, Middlesex, St. Mark's, Groton, St. Paul's, and many more.
