Founded. The Maine Wesleyan Seminary, now entering upon its eighty-fourth year, was opened to students in February, 1824. Character of the School. The Maine Wesleyan Seminary is a school for both sexes. It aims to cultivate high scholarship and to develop high moral character. The close association and fellowship of teachers and students make the school a large family in which a kindly spirit directs a firm, loving discipline to further a manly self­ control and a true self-development. It is a religious school, but is not sectarian. Location. The school is located on Kent’s Hill, four miles from Read­ field Depot, its railroad station, fourteen miles from Augusta and sixty miles north of Portland. It is reached over the Lew­ iston and Skowhegan line of the Maine Central Railroad. Faculty. Its corps of fourteen teachers are specialists in their several departments and instructors of acknowledged skill and ability. Home. This school is a home. Its separate dormitories have light, airy, well-furnished, steam-heated rooms, modern bath and toilet rooms supplied with hot and cold water, and a large dining room where teachers and students eat together. 2 IBS �F D O < UJ I �'__________ __ ___ _ ■ An abundant supply of pure water, pure food much of which is produced on the large farm of the school, pure, bracing air, good drainage and regular hours for meals, work and sleep, all contribute to the remarkable healthfulness of the student body. Added to this the constant and wise supervision of the students by the teachers makes this school an ideal home. Furnishings. The students’ rooms are provided with necessary and com­ fortable furniture. Students will, however, provide their own sheets, pillow cases, towels, toilet soap, napkins and napkin rings, also a lamp. Carpets, pictures and other ornaments if desired are provided by the students. The Seminary. College Preparatory. Students are here prepared for any college, also for profes­ sional, scientific and technical schools. . Certificate. This is an approved school of the New England Entrance Certificate Board, and its certificates admit students to any col­ lege accepting students on certificates. Seminary. ■ ’ " Two high grade Seminary Courses are offered to those who desire to extend their studies beyond the high school, but do not intend to take a full college course. These courses offer studies which broaden the outlook on life and specially fit for intelligent citizenship. ■ Elementary. An Elementary Course is offered for students not prepared to commence a College Preparatory or Seminary Course, and yet would feel out of place in a grammar school. 4 �_ _____ .Art. A three years’ course in Art under a competent teacher is provided, which fits for teaching or lays the foundation of Art as a profession. Freehand Drawing is a part of each literary course. Business College. The well-equipped Business College occupies four large rooms in Bearce Hall. It offers a one and a two years’ Busi­ ness Course and a Shorthand and Typewriting Course. As good instruction and facilities for a practical business education are here provided as can be found elsewhere, at much less expense both for tuition and board. The quiet of the school’s location and its freedom from temptations and allure­ ments insure a much closer application to study than can be expected in a crowded center with its many inviting amusement attractions and temptations and consequent waste of money and time. Students in the Business College have all the privileges of the school, access to the library, the reading rooms, the literary societies; they can take studies in Art, Music or such literary branches as they may desire, and live in the school with its many advantages under the constant care of the teachers. Music. The school offers excellent musical advantages. The building housing the music department is the finest and best appointed to be found east of Boston. It was planned and built for this department. It is supplied with eleven new high grade pianos and one large concert grand. The musical directors have had many years’ experience as teachers, and are this summer studying at the Summer School of the Institute of Musical Art, New York City. The piano­ forte teacher is a recent graduate of the New England Conser­ vatory, and is a fine performer and an up-to-date instructor. Instruction is given in voice, harmony, pianoforte, violin, organ, cornet and other orchestral instruments. 5 X �Ii I The Woman’s College. The Woman’s College was chartered in i860, and confers the degrees of A. B. and A. M. in course upon its graduates. The College Courses are as broad as those of any college in Maine admitting women, and opportunity is furnished not pro­ vided in other Maine colleges to take Art and Music as studies in the course. The past effectiveness of the Woman’s College is attested by the successful work of the several hundred graduates now at work. Last year a College Literary Society was organized, and Campaspe, a play written by John Lyly, was successfully given commencement week. The colleges in Maine now admitting women limit the number they will accept. It is now fully determined to develop rapidly the Woman’s College, and so give the many young women in Maine who desire and need a college course the needed opportunity. Seventy-five young women can be accom­ modated in the Freshman class this fall, and efforts are being made to secure that number. The college is well equipped with teachers, laboratories, library, gymnasium, has a physical director, a graduate of Posse Gymnasium, and needed appli­ ances for college work. Its thorough College Course is fur­ nished at small cost and under the most healthful surroundings. The expense a year for tuition, board, room rent, steam heat, lights and incidentals is about $200. r 'j Physical Training. s fee A healthy mind needs a healthy body. A healthy body necessitates systematic exercise that should be taken as far as possible in the open air. Ample opportunity for such exercise is here provided. The campus is large and beautiful. There are five tennis courts and an athletic field. 6 �s u m Ld (/) CD J �■ i I I ■ The Gymnasium. i A good gymnasium, well supplied with suitable apparatus, provides opportunity for indoor exercise. A competent physical director is provided for the boys in the winter, and a graduate of Posse Gymnasium will direct the physical exercises of the girls throughout the year. I I Laboratories. Large and well-equipped Biological, Chemical and Physical Laboratories make possible most efficient experimental and testing work in these branches and add greatly to the value of these studies. Buildings. The buildings are among the finest school buildings in New England. The grounds are extensive and beautiful. Sampson Hall, the dormitory and boarding house, is a substan­ tial brick building, with large, well-ventilated, steam-heated rooms, and contains the well-appointed dining room, modern bath and toilet rooms, and the ladies’ literary society halls. Bearce Hall is a fine brick structure which contains the recita­ tion rooms, chapel, museum, chemical and physical laborato­ ries, the reading room and the literary halls of the gentlemen. Ricker Hall is a modern building containing the gymnasium, art rooms, library and superb accommodations for the music department. Library and Reading Rooms. The large and growing library now has ten thousand volumes. The books were selected with a special view to the needs of students and are readily accessible for reading and reference. The reading rooms are well supplied with daily and weekly papers and the best of the magazines. Literary Societies. There are four literary societies, the Calliopean and Lit­ erati, for gentlemen, and the Adelphian and Eromathean, for ladies. Each society holds a private meeting on Friday even­ ing and one public meeting a term. Each society occupies an elegantly furnished hall of which it has exclusive possession. 8 I 4 �■ Q a: o m er o H D UJ U) s UJ a: m UJ x _ l_ r— 4« fa AJL I �No feature of student life has more important relation to the responsibility of after years than the drill in these society gatherings, whereby are acquired parliamentary skill, inde­ pendence of thought and readiness in expression. Superior .Advantages. i ] The superior advantages of such a school are seen in the above enumeration. The students are under the care of Chris­ tian teachers twenty-four hours a day for seven days in each week. Not only are they given brain training in the recitation room, but they are also taught good manners in the dining hall, a proper respect for each other’s rights and a proper regard for property. In the social life of the school they become acquainted with the usages of good society. In the literary societies, practice in debate, in recitation, in presiding over assemblies, in public work, all unite to bring out the possibili­ ties in youth that otherwise might not be discovered. Wise examiners of these phases of this school’s life have affirmed that these alone are worth more than the cost of the school to a student. Expenses. Table board is $3.00 a week. All students except self-boarders, those living with rela­ tives and those working their board will board in the Seminary boarding hall. No deduction in board will be made for absence the first or last week. Room Rent. Rooms in Sampson Hall are for each occupant from $3.00 to $7.50 a term. Steam Heat.

Read it carefully for it pro­ vides the framework for all school activity. All that a school is and what is expected of its students can certainly not be placed in a directory. Ours is a democratic society that demands a great deal of the individual. Your school, much like your society, is what you make it. We encourage individual thought and initiative, but feel you must learn to play an active and re­ sponsible role in the community. You will work, think and play together — this is simply an outline of campus life which requires your par­ ticipation to make it purposeful and meaning­ ful. Bring to it your spirit, your thoughts and your heart and its continued success is assured. Robert A. Chumbook, Headmaster Kents Hill School LIFE AT KENTS HILL Welcome to Kents Hill! May both you and the school be better for your having been here. As a student at Kents Hill, you become a member of a large group of people who have shared the experience of life at the school. They have made and lived by its traditions, and those traditions have been a molding in­ fluence in their lives. Chartered in 1824, Kents Hill has made her way known through the lives of many genera­ tions of her sons and daughters. As one of the 6 �first coeducational schools in the country, Kents Hill admitted girls in 1824, and in 1860 established the first college course in the coun­ try to grant degrees to women. Experience has justified the school’s belief in coeducation as the most natural preparation for normal, hap­ py adult living. Every possible effort has been made to pro­ vide an excellent physical plant, a challenging class program, and encouraging guidance for the student at Kents Hill. It is the student’s privilege to take advantage of all the school offers. Many an alumnus looks back at his days at Kents Hill as the happiest of his life. Whether your time spent here will be as happy and pro­ ductive as possible will depend greatly on the associations you form with other students, with the faculty, with all the people with whom you live and work and play at Kents Hill. In order that those associations may be estab­ lished as quickly and lastingly as possible, this handbook is created. A careful study of it will indicate what the school offers the student and what the student’s obligations are in return. A thorough familiarity with the traditions and regulations is expected of every student, and he is held responsible for carrying them out in good faith. 7 �SOME KENTS HILL TRADITIONS The keynote at Kents Hill is one of courtesy and consideration for each other at all times. Students are en­ couraged to attend all athletic con­ tests, plays, enter­ tainments, and so­ cial occasions unless regular school appoint­ ments prevent. Happy Birthday! On each student’s birthday he is serenaded by the entire dining hall and is entertained with his corridor members at a birthday party at the Headmaster’s home. Each athletic season ends with a sports ban­ quet when awards are made by the coaches. Rousing rallies before games get teams and student body in a winning mood. The tower bell is rung with enthusiasm by members of a winning team. Homecoming Day is an annual fall event when the welcome mat is out for the alumni, parents and friends. Sporting events, a buffet luncheon at the dorm and an evening enter­ tainment round out a full day for our guests. 8 �During each school season the Headmaster may declare a surprise school holiday at chapel time. A cook-out is usually enjoyed at the Outing Club cabin on Lovejoy Pond. In fine spring and fall weather, Saturday noon lunch and Sunday supper are enjoyed about the fireplace at the picnic ground on the back of the campus. A program of Christmas music by the school choir features the Christmas Vesper Service which is held at the village church. During the Christmas season and on Sunday music from the Bearce Hall tower music sys­ tem is enjoyed by the school and community. Formal dances held during the year are the Christmas Ball, the Snow Ball at which the Winter* Carnival King and Queen reign, and the Commencement Ball. Each spring certain senior privileges are granted to the outgoing class. A tradition of hospitality is fostered at Kents Hill. Each person on campus considers himself a host, friendly and helpful to visitors. 9 �THE PHYSICAL PLANT I I I I The campus buildings include Bearce Hall, which houses classrooms and laboratories, the school offices, bookstore; Sampson Hall, which includes the girls’ and boys’ dormitories and dining room; Wesleyan Hall, the younger boys’ dormitory, erected in 1960; new girls’ dormitory, erected in 1964; Ricker Hall, which houses the library, theater, crafts room, study hall, music studio, class rooms, the historical room and the alumni office; the Newton Gym­ nasium, used for boys’ and girls’ athletics and as an auditorium; Jollity Manse is used for in­ firmary, faculty and staff apartments; Chase Hall, which includes faculty apartments; Farwell Field House, completed in 1959, which provides a ski room and facilities for ice hockey, soccer, track and tennis; Blethen Hall, the residence of the headmaster; 1821 House, old original school building, now a faculty residence; girls’ field house, completed in 1963, which provides a ski room and facilities for all girls’ athletics. The 50-acre campus provides ample space for an eight-lap cinder track, football field, baseball field, softball and field hockey field, ice hockey rink, eight all-weather tennis courts, soccer and lacrosse fields and a picnic area with fireplace. The school property also includes the Outing Club Cabin on Lovejoy Pond and the ski area on Torsey Pond with ski jumps, downhill and slalom slopes, and two ski tows. 10 �n <2> O'­ CAMPUS BOUNDS Life at Kents Hill is centered in our own campus activities, and students do not leave the campus without special permission except to go to the store or Post OHice or Torsey View House at specified times. Boys and girls may walk together on the front campus and on the main road as far as the Torsey View House ex­ clusively. When leaving the campus or at­ tending some function on campus at which universal attendance is not required, students should sign out or check out according to the dormitory regulations (see page 13). The time for girls to be in the dormitory changes seasonally and is posted. Students should not be in Bearce or Ricker Halls except for class, extracurricular or other regularly approved appointments. Students should not visit other dormitories than their own without permission from those in charge of both. 11 . �POST OFFICE AND STORE Students may go to the Post Office after chapel and after 12:36 and to the store after 12:36 and at any time during the day when they have free time until they are rrequired by rule to be in the dormitory. See —J <_special privileges of Effort and Scholastic Honor Roh students on pp. 31-32. Students should not visit the store after chapel. Snacks may be purchased and eaten at the bookstore in Bearce Hall basement. HOURS FOR TORSEY VIEW HOUSE The Torsey View House in the village, run by Mrs. Mary Schultze, serves refreshments and lunches. Students may go there at the fol­ lowing times: Saturday morning and afternoon when they have no obligations to the school. Return to campus must be made by 5:00 o’clock, or earlier as the season requires. Sunday from 9:30 to 10:45 A.M. and from 2:00 to 4:30 P.M. when no school appointments prevent. Only students with permission to smoke at school will be allowed to smoke at Torsey View House. 12 �DORMITORY CHECK-OUT SYSTEM Girls* Sign-Out Procedure i t Girls are required to sign out in the book placed on the desk in the first floor corridor when leaving the cauipiis except to go to the Post Office or store. In signing out, the stu­ dent should give her exact destination, time of leaving the dormitory, and time of return. She should sign out for herself only, using her last name and first initial if necessary for identification. Girls should sign out on their corridors for absences during activity period and at other times when leaving the dormitory to go to some function on campus at which attendance is voluntary, such as movies, rehearsals, con­ ferences, social occasions at Blethen Hall, or elsewhere, etc. It is not necessary to sign out for any func­ tion at which attendance by all students is re­ quired. PERMISSION TO LEAVE BOUNDS Girls’ Procedure. Off-bounds and Weekend Per­ mission Slips may be obtained only from the Deans or Headmaster. Parents must give per­ mission in writing to the Dean for a student to leave campus to visit her own home or else­ where and specify the means of travel. 13 �The slip must be taken to the Dean for sign­ ing, and the student should check out with the corridor- teacher or Dean when leaving and should sign out in the book on the first floor of the dormitory. Rooms must be left in or­ der. Return must be made by the specified time. Parents acting as hosts to students other than their own family must give permission in writing to the Dean or Headmaster for such students to visit them. Boys’ Procedure. Off-Bounds Permission Slips may be obtained from the office or from the Dean in the dormitory. They are to be taken to the Dean for signing. Written permission to leave campus or to entertain a student guest at home must be furnished the Dean by par­ ents. Before departing, check out with the Dean. Rooms should be left in order. Return must be made by the specified time. WEEK-END PERMISSIONS Eligibility for earned week-end privileges is dependent on student’s Effort Honor Roll rat­ ing and citizenship record. (See page 31.) A student must have written permission from his parents to leave campus for a week end. The means of travel must be specified. See Permission to Leave Bounds. If he is not 14 �going to his home, he must also have permission from the host or hostess of the home where he plans to visit. DORMITORY REGULATIONS The purpose of dormitory regulations is to maintain the comfort, safety, and efficiency of the occupants. Cooperation in carrying out all of them is essential to the well-being of the individual and of the whole group. Complete quiet is in effect during study pe­ riods, quiet hours, and from lights out at night until the rising bell in the morning. Students are to remain in their own rooms all night un­ less they have permission to sleep elsewhere. A warning bell is rung before meals, before study hours, activity period, and before lights out. Students should use the period between the warning bell and the last bell to arrive promptly at their destination. Students are held responsible for the cleanli­ ness and order of their rooms, which are in­ spected daily and should be kept presentable at all times. Students take turns cleaning cor­ ridors and recreation rooms according to schedule. Attendance at all meals except Sunday breakfast is required. Talking to anyone from windows is not al­ lowed.

Consider that all instruc­ tion that goes on in class is your business and should receive your full attention. 2. Pay attention to your instructor’s re­ marks. They are to explain or supple­ ment material in the course. Take notes and keep them, both on what the teacher says, and on approved remarks of the students. 3. Take part in the discussion, not only orally, but silently. That is, formulate an answer to every question asked, whether 26 �you are called on or not, and note how near you came to a correct and complete answer in terms of the discussion. ___ If there is some­ thing to add, take the trouble to volun­ teer your informa­ tion or idea. If you Ol disagree or misunderstand, ask courteously for explanation or proof. 4. Take down all assignments exactly, keep­ ing all those for a given course together in a notebook so they will be available for review. Keep all written material. 5. Prepare homework as assigned. Pass it in on time. Be thorough, be businesslike, study with method, make your effort the best. Outlining, summarizing, marking important passages in your text all help you to master material thoroughly and review it readily. 6. If you have missed an assignment be­ cause of absence, on the day of your re­ turn inquire of your teacher the earliest time when it may be made up. 7. Do extra work besides your assignment, either to help you understand the funda­ mentals of the subject or to broaden your acquaintance with it. Make use of the library. 27 �8. 9. 10. Ask extra help of your instructor, or dis­ cuss points of interest about which you have a question to ask or a contribution to make. Review the previous work before going on with the advanced assignment. Find time to put first things first. There are frequently occasions when other in­ terests should be sacrificed for extra study. CLASS ATTENDANCE Attendance at all classes is compulsory. Late students should obtain a class admission slip from the office. Grades should be obtained from the office only during study periods by permission of the study hall teacher. PERMISSION TO ENTER CLASS AFTER ABSENCE An absence excuse and make-up slip should be obtained from the office and taken to the at­ tendance officer to be signed. On re-entering class the slip should be taken to each subject teacher to be signed and then returned to the office. CHAPEL Attendance at chapel each school day at 10:06 A.M. is compulsory. The type of pro­ gram varies. Prompt attendance and quiet, dignified behavior are requested at chapel exercises. 28 �LIBRARY The library is open on school days gtu_ to 12:36 P.M.; and from 1:45 to 2:45 P. • dents should go to the library at t e s ai the period and remain until the end. A peimi sion slip for use of the library during c ass hours should be obtained from subject teacheis and taken to the study hall teacher who signs it. The slip is then taken to the library by the student and given to the librarian. Students an the Effort Honor Roll, or on the Scholastic Honor Roll may go to the library during free periods without permission. Day students with honor roll privileges should use the study hall or library during the free periods. 1:45-2:45 Use of the library for the full hour is permitted to all students.

SCHOOL BANK For the convenience of students the school offers banking facilities. It is highly recom­ mended that the school bank be used as it is not advisable to carry much money around or to leave it in the rooms.

Students may cash checks drawn on either the school bank or outside banks through the student bank on Tuesdays and Fridays ONLY after classes at 12:36 P.M. ■ It is suggested that students budget their money. Having an amount which is to last un­ til a certain date, with the understanding that no more will be available until that time comes, is helpful in learning the value of money. 30 �I ! In order to avoid the necessity of paying cash for school trips, movies and other suc* occasions, an entertainment ticket costing $7.5 may be obtained at the bookstore. A refund for the unused portion of the ticket is made at the end of the year.

KENTS HILL ATHLETIC PROGRAM In the belief that a healthy mind in a healthy body is important to a good life, Kents Hill has established an athletic program designed to meet the needs of every individual. All boarding students are required to par­ ticipate in some form of athletics each season. Regardless of size, strength, or experience, each student has a place in the athletic pro­ gram. Athletics are elective for day students by arrangement with the school office. The athletic plant is adequate for the use of all, consisting of the gymnasium, two field 37 �houses, excellent baseball and softball dia­ monds, hockey rink, football gridiron, soccer field, cinder track, eight tennis courts, and ski facilities which consist of two 800-foot elec­ trically operated ski tows sei-vicing a 30-meter jump, racing trail and slalom slope. Should an injury occur to a player, a school doctor on call, a well-supplied training room in the gymnasium, and a resident school nurse are available to answer his needs. Each sports season is closed with a school banquet at which awards are made. Although academic credit for sports is not given, each student receives a rating each term on the effort grading sheet according to his spirit, attitude, and contribution. Emphasis is not placed upon ability, but rather on the man­ ner in which the student participates in his chosen activity.

Meetings and rehearsals are held generally during the activity period according to schedule. PUBLICATIONS The Kents Hill Breeze is the school news41 �ij paper, published periodically by an all-student staff under the direction of faculty advisers, and sold at a small fee to cover operating costs.

I Kents Hill, Kents Hill, the masterful To all who come and go Implant thy spirit in our hearts For conquests here below: To thee, Kents Hill, we will be true, Enchanted by thy lure, Make good thy confidence in us While fellowships endure. —WILLIAM WOOD, ’92 62 j �OUR ALMA MATER (Tune: PALISADES) Come gather ’round the halls of Kents Hill So filled with mem’ry’s golden store; You’ve nurtured loyal sons and daughters E’en for a hundred years and more. There ’mid the lakes and hills and pine trees, We pledged devotion staunch and true; That bond so firm will hold for ever, We bare our heads to you. ’Twas there we made our closest friendships, On that old campus up in Maine; Though years have passed and we are severed, Our hearts will always be the same. With Gray and Crimson proudly waving, In twilight’s shades or morning dew, We’ll always love our Alma Mater, Kents Hill, we sing to you. And over all our mighty nation, Proud sons and daughters praise thy name, With loyal hearts and fond affection, As some have soared to heights of fame. Now with the future still before us, What though the days be bright or blue, From “Oldest Grad” to “Youngest Freshman,” Kents Hill, we’re all for you. —Adapted by Hannah Kimball, ’06 63 �I ;! THE KENTS HILL SCHOOL SEAL Kents Hill School was founded in 1824 under the corporate name of Maine Wesleyan Semi­ nary. A few years before that time the foun­ der, Luther Sampson, travelled by horseback from Massachusetts into the wilderness of Maine to claim his due in a land grant as a veteran of the Revolution. He had planned to journey to the western part of the state, but became inexplicably drawn to turn east. Finally he dismounted and dropped to his knees in prayer. Asking God to guide his path, he remounted and continued his journey toward the rising sun and eventually settled at Kents Hill. Here he and his family lived for many prosperous years. In gratitude to God he opened a school in what is now the 1821 House to give opportunities in education to the young people of the community. It was called the Readfield Religious and Charitable Society and in 1824 became Kents Hill School. The seal depicts Luther Sampson travelling east toward the rising sun. The translation of the Latin motto is “God has shown the Way." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Read it carefully for it pro&shy; vides the framework for all school activity. All that a school is and what is expected of its students can certainly not be placed in a directory. Ours is a democratic society that demands a great deal of the individual. Your school, much like your society, is what you make it. We encourage individual thought and initiative, but feel you must learn to play an active and re&shy; sponsible role in the community. You will work, think and play together — this is simply an outline of campus life which requires your par&shy; ticipation to make it purposeful and meaning&shy; ful. Bring to it your spirit, your thoughts and your heart and its continued success is assured. Robert A. Chumbook, Headmaster Kents Hill School LIFE AT KENTS HILL Welcome to Kents Hill! May both you and the school be better for your having been here. As a student at Kents Hill, you become a member of a large group of people who have shared the experience of life at the school. They have made and lived by its traditions, and those traditions have been a molding in&shy; fluence in their lives. Chartered in 1824, Kents Hill has made her way known through the lives of many genera&shy; tions of her sons and daughters. As one of the 6 �first coeducational schools in the country, Kents Hill admitted girls in 1824, and in 1860 established the first college course in the coun&shy; try to grant degrees to women. Experience has justified the school’s belief in coeducation as the most natural preparation for normal, hap&shy; py adult living. Every possible effort has been made to pro&shy; vide an excellent physical plant, a challenging class program, and encouraging guidance for the student at Kents Hill. It is the student’s privilege to take advantage of all the school offers. I * Many an alumnus looks back at his days at Kents Hill as the happiest of his life. Whether your time spent here will be as happy and pro&shy; ductive as possible will depend greatly on the associations you form with other students, with the faculty, with all the people with whom you live and work and play at Kents Hill. In order that those associations may be estab&shy; lished as quickly and lastingly as possible, this handbook is created. A careful study of it will indicate what the school offers the student and what the student’s obligations are in return. A thorough familiarity with the traditions and regulations is expected of every student, and he is held responsible for carrying them out in good faith. 7 �SOME KENTS HILL TRADITIONS The keynote at Kents Hill is one of courtesy and consideration for each other at all times. Students are en&shy; couraged to attend all athletic con&shy; tests, plays, enter&shy; tainments, and so&shy; cial occasions unless regular school appoint&shy; ments prevent. Birthday parties are held in the Headmaster’s home once a month. This is a long standing Kents Hill tradition. Each athletic season ends with a sports ban&shy; quet when awards are made by the coaches. Rousing rallies before games get teams and student body in a winning mood. The tower bell is rung with enthusiasm by members of a winning team. Homecoming Day is an annual fall event when the welcome mat is out for the alumni, parents and friends. Sporting events, a buffet luncheon at the dorm and an evening enter&shy; tainment round out a full day for our guests. 8 �During each school season the Headmaster may declare a surprise school holiday at chapel time. A cook-out is usually enjoyed at the Outing Club cabin on Lovejoy Pond. In fine spring and fall weather, Saturday noon lunch and Sunday supper are enjoyed about the fireplace at the picnic ground on the back of the campus. A program of Christmas music by the school choir features the Christmas Vesper Service which is held at the village church. During the Christmas season music from the Bearce Hall tower music system is enjoyed by the school and community. Formal dances held during the year are the Christmas Ball, the Snow Ball at which the Winter Carnival King and Queen reign, and the Commencement Ball. &lt; Each spring certain senior privileges are granted to the outgoing class. &lt; A tradition of hospitality is fostered at Kents Hill. Each person on campus considers himself a host, friendly and helpful to visitors. 9 �THE PHYSICAL PLANT The campus buildings include Bearce F “ Hall, which houses classrooms and laboratories, the school offices, bookstore; Sampson Hall, which includes the girls’ and boys’ dormitories and dining room; Wesleyan Hall, the younger boys’ dormitory, erected in 1960; new girls’ dormitory, erected in 1964; Ricker Hall, which houses the library, theater, study hall, music studio, class rooms, the historical room and the alumni office; the Newton Gymnasium, used for boys’ and girls’ athletics and as an audi&shy; torium; Jollity Manse is used for infirmary, faculty and staff apartments; Chase Hall, which includes faculty apartments; Farwell Field House, completed in 1959, which provides a ski room and facilities for ice hockey, soccer, track and tennis; Blethen Hall, the residence of the headmaster; 1821 House, old original school building, now a faculty residence; girls’ field house, completed in 1963, which provides a ski room and facilities for all girls’ ath&shy; letics. The 50-acre campus provides ample space for an eight-lap cinder track, football field, baseball field, softball and field hockey field, ice hockey rink, eight all-weather tennis courts, soccer and lacrosse fields and a picnic area with fireplace. The school property also includes the Outing Club Cabin on Lovejoy Pond and the ski area on Torsey Pond with ski jumps, downhill and slalom slopes, and two ski tows. 10 �to □ gB jar ::s.i Ina III n 0 9 L_ CAMPUS BOUNDS Life at Kents Hill is centered in our own campus activities, and students do not leave the campus without special permission except to go to the Post Office or Torsey View House at specified times. Boys and girls may walk together on the front campus as far as the Post Office. When leaving the campus or attending some function on campus at which universal attendance is not required, students should sign out or check out according to the dormitory regulations (see page 13). The time for girls to be in the dormitory changes seasonally and is posted. Students should not be in Bearce or Ricker Halls except for class, extracurricular or other regularly approved appointments. Students should not visit other dormitories than their own without permission from those in charge of both. 11 �POST OFFICE AND BOOKSTORE Students may go to the Post Office during morning break or after classes and at any time during the day when they have free time. See special privileges of Effort and Scholastic Honor Roll students on pp. 31-32. Snacks may be purchased and eaten at the bookstore in Bearce Hall basement. Students who have earned the privilege may visit campus bookstore during free periods. HOURS FOR TORSEY VIEW HOUSE The Torsey View House- in the village, run by Mrs. Mary Schultze, serves refreshment^ Students may go there at the following times: zSunday from 9:30 to 10:45 A.AL and from 2:00 to 4:30 P.M. when no school appointments prevent... / / / / / Only senior students with permission to smbkc at school will be allowed to smoke at Torsey Vi^v House. &lt; 12 5 �DORMITORY CHECK-OUT SYSTEM Students are required to sign out in the book placed on the desk in the first floor corridor when leaving the campus. In signing out, the student should give exact destination, time of leaving the dormitory, and time of return. Stu&shy; dents should sign out for themselves only, using their last name and first initial if necessary for identification. When leaving the dormitory during activity period or at other times to attend a function on campus, students will sign out in their cor&shy; ridor book. It is not necessary to sign out for any func&shy; tion at which attendance by all students is required. PERMISSION TO LEAVE BOUNDS AND WEEKEND PERMISSIONS One automatic weekend is allowed each stu&shy; dent each trimester. No weekend is permitted for students on teams when games are scheduled, but two short weekends may be taken after games to substitute for a long weekend. Exception from this rule requires a student to gain per&shy; mission from both his coach and the director of athletics. The first weekend privilege available to stu&shy; dents is the fourth weekend after the Septem&shy; ber opening of school. 13 �No weekend privileges are allowed the weekend preceding or the weekend following vacations. One extra weekend may be taken during each of the winter and spring trimesters by obtain&shy; ing honors on either the scholastic or effort honor roll of the preceding trimester. The earned weekend privilege depends on the student’s citizenship record as well as the grades he has received. Off-bounds and Weekend Permission may be obtained only from the Deans or from the Headmaster. Parents must give their permission in writing to the Dean for a student to leave campus to visit his/her own home or elsewhere except when students go to their own homes on regu&shy; lar vacations. That permission should specify the means of travel. If a student is not going to his own home, he must also have a written invitation from the host or hostess of the home where he will visit. All requests must be at the school not later than the Thursday pre&shy; ceding the weekend requested. No telephone permissions will be granted. Weekend. Friday after classes to Sunday at 6:00 P. M. When traveling by private convey&shy; ance students must return to campus by 6:00 P. M. without exception. In the instance when public transportation is used the student will reach his Augusta or Winthrop destination at the time most closely related to “check-in” time. 14 �Athletic Short Weekend. Saturday after ath&shy; letic contest to Sunday at 6:00 P. M. DORMITORY REGULATIONS The purpose of dormitory regulations is to maintain the comfort, safety, and efficiency of the occupants. Cooperation in carrying out all of them is essential to the well-being of the individual and of the whole group. Complete quiet is in effect during study pe&shy; riods, quiet hours, and from lights out at night until the rising bell in the morning. Students are to remain in their own rooms all night un&shy; less they have permission to sleep elsewhere. A warning bell is rung before meals, before study hours, activity period, and before lights out. Students should use the period between the warning bell and the last bell to arrive promptly at their destination. ’ Students are held responsible for the cleanli&shy; ness and order of their rooms, which are in&shy; spected daily and should be kept presentable at all times. Students take turns cleaning corridors and recreation rooms according to schedule. Attendance at all meals except Saturday and Sunday breakfast is required. Talking to anyone from windows is not al&shy; lowed. The facilities for recreation in the girls’ liv&shy; ing room and the boys’ club room are for 15 �everybody who wishes to enjoy them, hesitate to join in the fun. Don’t CARE OF PROPERTY The best possible care of all property and equipment on the campus or elsewhere should be taken. Please do not deface or destroy either public or private possessions. Room decorations must be confined entirely to the bulletin boards provided. No thumbtack&shy; ing, painting, past&shy; ing or writing on the walls, wood&shy; work or furniture will be tolerated. Post on your own bulletin board the dates on which you are assigned t o clean the corridor or recreation room. See that mops and brooms are cleaned and hung where they belong, and assume responsibility for the area assigned you for the entire day. Books are not to be left on the stairs, in any corridors, on the front steps, or on the grounds at any time except during morning break. 16 �DORMITORY FIRE DRILL REGULATIONS The Dean of Boys and the Dean of Girls will act as Chiefs of their groups, assisted by the other floor teachers who will take charge of their corridors.

Consider that all instruc&shy; tion that goes on in class is your business and should receive your full attention. 2. Pay attention to your instructor’s re&shy; marks. They are to explain or supple&shy; ment material in the course. Take notes and keep them, both on what the teacher says, and on approved remarks of the students. Take part in the discussion, not only orally, but silently. That is, formulate an answer to every question asked, whethei 3. 26 4 1 �you are called on or not, and note how near you came to a correct and complete answer in terms of the discussion. If there is some&shy; thing to add, take the trouble to volun&shy; teer your informa&shy; tion or idea. If you disagree or misun&shy; derstand, ask courteously for explana&shy; tion or proof. 4. Take down all assignments exactly, keep&shy; ing all those for a given course together in a notebook so they will be available for review. Keep all written material. 5. Prepare homework as assigned. Pass it in on time. Be thorough, be businesslike, study with method, make your effort the best. Outlining, summarizing, marking important passages in your text all help you to master material thoroughly and review it readily. G. If you have missed an assignment be&shy; cause of absence, on the day of your re&shy; turn inquire of your teacher the earliest time when it may be made up. 7. Do extra work besides your assignment, either to help you understand the funda&shy; mentals of the subject or to broaden your acquaintance with it. Make use of the library. 27 3® I 7 �8. 9. 10. Ask extra help of your instructor, or dis&shy; cuss points of interest about which you have a question to ask or a contribution to make. Review the previous work before going on with the advanced assignment. Find time to put first things first. There are frequently occasions when other in&shy; terests should be sacrificed for extra study. CLASS ATTENDANCE Attendance at all classes is compulsory.

Each sports season is closed with a school banquet at which awards are made.

Kents Hill, Kents Hill, the masterful To all who come and go Implant thy spirit in our hearts For conquests here below: To thee, Kents Hill, we will be true, Enchanted by thy lure, Make good thy confidence in us While fellowships endure. —WILLIAM WOOD, ’92 62 �OUR ALMA MATER (Tune: PALISADES) Come gather ’round the halls of Kents Hill So filled with mem’ry’s golden store; You’ve nurtured loyal sons and daughters E’en for a hundred years and more. There ’mid the lakes and hills and pine trees, We pledged devotion staunch and true; That bond so firm will hold for ever, We bare our heads to you. ’Twas there we made our closest friendships, On that old campus up in Maine; Though years have passed and we are severed, Our hearts will always be the same. With Gray and Crimson proudly waving, In twilight’s shades or morning dew, We’ll always love our Alma Mater, Kents Hill, we sing to you. And over all our mighty nation, Proud sons and daughters praise thy name, With loyal hearts and fond affection, As some have soared to heights of fame. Now with the future still before us, What though the days be bright or blue, From “Oldest Grad” to “Youngest Freshman,” Kents Hill, we’re all for you. —Adapted by Hannah Kimball, ’06 63 �THE KENTS HILL SCHOOL SEAL Kents Hill School was founded in 1824 under the corporate name of Maine Wesleyan Semi&shy; nary. A few years before that time the foun&shy; der, Luther Sampson, travelled by horseback from Massachusetts into the wilderness of Maine to claim his due in a land grant as a veteran of the Revolution. He had planned to journey to the western part of the state, but became inexplicably drawn to turn east. Finally he dismounted and dropped to his knees in prayer. Asking God to guide his path, he remounted and continued his journey toward the rising sun and eventually settled at Kents Hill. Here he and his family lived for many prosperous years. In gratitude to God he opened a school in what is now the 1821 House to give opportunities in education to the young people of the community. It was called the Readfield Religious and Charitable Society and in 1824 became Kents Hill School. The seal depicts Luther Sampson travelling east toward the rising sun. The translation of the Latin motto is “God has shown the Way. �KOTS HILL SCHOOL r. 5 rr rr acont Handbook 18664967 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

THORNKIDE has said, “Education should be considered not as a molding of perfectly plastic substances, not as a filling of empty minds, nor as a creation of powers; but rather as the provision of opportunity for healthy, bodily and mental life, of stimuli to call forth desirable activities in thought, feeling and movement, and of means for their wise direction, for the elimination of their failures and futilities, and for the selection of their useful forms.” It is admitted that boys and girls of today face a life far more complex than their forefathers. The complicated life of the city or suburb makes constant demands on their time. A school re­ moved from these distractions where the student is not at a con­ stant disadvantage is a recognized need in our educational system. Kents Hill School presents opportunity for the healthy, bodily and mental life of which Mr. Thorndike speaks and also sets up means for its wise direction. ! * Education at Kents Hill School is carried on under most fortu­ nate circumstances. This section of the country in the heart of Maine has an invigorating climate which is as good in winter as in summer and permits of outdoor sports the year round. The school’s own farm helps to provide an excellent table. Young men and women here lead a normal daily life in a wholesome, democratic atmosphere where teachers and students are friendly companions. All these sterling advantages are within reach of people of moderate means. A generous endowment accumulated through the years enables the school to keep its rates low, and there is no opportunity for extravagance in personal expenditure. 1 <4} �* LI ^gp 3 g s ^5 ) < 'V'^ W 8 8 'o’ J \UtT g .2£5 c E o r~* 6 I !U £ : - -: *> ♦ �! ~1 :««Enci 122243 :r4eaoa 22_iq '■lSS53=?' r -LJErScn BIMa— ,r-i_ -J£~3- Hgj ___ a Student honors group for 1939 — Kents Hill builds on high scholarship i �Founding and History Kents Hill School was founded over a century ago at Kents Hill, Maine. The strength of the Maine hills pervades the history of its progress and achievement. Behind its founding lies one of the most interesting stories of pioneer life. In 1798, Luther Sampson left his home in Marshfield, Massachusetts, on a trip of exploration. He intended to locate on the Hudson River, but had not proceeded far when he felt a strange inclination to go in an­ other direction. On coming to a wood, he dismounted, and as the story says, “sought Divine direction.” As a result, came the de­ termination that when he reached the next fork in the road his horse should choose the way. Soon he found himself journeying toward the rising sun instead of the setting sun. Upon reaching Kents Hill in the town of Readfield, he decided that there would be his home. Out of the need for education in this locality, he founded “Maine Wesleyan Seminary” or Kents Hill School as it is now called. University Traditions In 1860, a new milestone was set in the history of the school; the curriculum was enlarged to include a college course for young women which would entitle them to a degree. Although there were other girls’ schools at that time few conferred degrees. The college department at Kents Hill antedates Vassar four years; Wellesley and Bryn Mawr ten years; and Smith fourteen years. In recent years there has been a tendency towards the intro­ duction of a Junior College department. Since 1935 a graduate course in Secretarial Science has been offered. A Century of Service K u The educational ideals of Kents Hill have always been broad and liberal. The school has kept pace with the times, carefully avoiding educational fads. Students are taught only by those methods which have been thoroughly tried and proved of value. Through more than a century of service, the doors of Kents Hill have never been closed, and the school stands today among the foremost preparatory schools in New England. {5} �------ Grounds and Buildings The school group comprises nine buildings five of which are well equipped with electric lights, steam heat, modern sanitation, and fine drinking water. The other four are frame buildings which are adaptable to the needs of the moment. Sampson Hall Sampson Hall, a four story structure in brick, is our largest build­ ing. It houses two entirely separate dormitories — one for girls and one for boys — which are capable of accommodating one hundred and fifty people. The dormitory rooms are well lighted and comfortably furnished. In this building is located the school dining room where the faculty and students meet on common ground. There are also social parlors for the girls and a Clubroom for the boys where the students mingle to listen to the latest radio offering or to talk over the events of the day. In addition to fire escapes and the usual means of fire protec­ tion, Sampson Hall is equipped with pipe lines which bring water under pressure to any part of the building in a few seconds. Bearce Hall Bearce Hall is an attractive four story brick building set well back from the road and surrounded by lawns and stately trees. Welllighted classrooms, science laboratories, and administrative offices are located in this building. The boys’ Greek letter societies also have their quarters here. Deering Chapel Deering Chapel adjoins Bearce Hall and is virtually a part of it. About this room, with its dignity and charm, linger many of the richer traditions of the school. It accommodates two hundred people and is used for morning chapel exercises, lectures, and entertainments. Blethen Hall I Blethen Hall is the home of the principal and his family. It is a comfortable building located on the campus, where teachers, students, and visitors find a traditional and unfailing welcome. {6} �|rr I .£ 3 'S cc 3 sC2y J ' �■ R;4 0 % *. r-.y .iia-x In school, friendships are formed which stand the test of a lifetime. Here is a group of friends in a comfortable corner of the boys' dormitory ■Ml �Ricker Hall Ricker Hall, built as the home of the Music Department, contains a small auditorium, studios, and practice rooms on its upper floors. The first floor houses the school library and the historical room. Other Dormitories Torsey, Chase, and Ludden Halls are substantial frame buildings and are used as dormitories. These dormitories each accommo­ date from eight to fifteen students. The Qymnasium In July 1931 the dream of many friends and alumni was realized; work was started on the gymnasium. By Thanksgiving time it was finished and ready for use. The building contains a large gym floor with sizeable stage and dressing rooms at one end so that the room can be used as an auditorium and theatre. The main floor is large enough to permit a division into two smaller gymnasiums. There are also segregated locker room units, shower bath facili­ ties, and offices for both the boys’ and girls’ departments. This building forms the center of the recreational life of the school. Library The school possesses a fine library of about 7,000 volumes. Spe­ cial funds are available with which to purchase new books, the best magazines, and newspapers. The Farm The school owns farm lands of some five hundred acres in woods and tillable fields. In addition to the opportunity it offers for outdoor recreation on our own property, it produces most of the vegetables for the dining room, making it possible to offer an ex­ cellent table at low cost, not to mention fresh food the year round. {7} �Oakland livemprefal/s # * Waterville /SXkent/hii/ / ^'\\Readfleld JftfiMroio Levirtan f&ck/and vunswicek /Soacfs /failrvads c3£ow to T^ach Brents ^ill The school is easily accessible by motor, being only eight miles off the trunk line running from Portland through Lewiston, Au­ gusta, and Waterville to Bangor and beyond. Cars coming from the West leave the trunk line at Winthrop; from the East, at Manchester. By train, the town of Readfield is sixty-one miles from Portland on the Maine Central Railroad. Connections may be made from the West via Portland or Lewiston; from the North via Waterville or Oakland; and from the East either via Water­ ville or via Brunswick and Lewiston. Winthrop is the nearest point by Bus. {8} �* r Every student takes part in some form of recreation There is opportunity for all j i ■ �i Sailing attracts many enthusiasts ■■■■■■■■■■■I r �Constructive Education Students at Kents Hill receive constructive education. The cor­ relation of studies, sports, and recreation, together with the most careful attention to individual needs build a solid foundation for the future. Students are encouraged to seek guidance and assis­ tance in their studies if there are any problems which they cannot surmount themselves. Another important feature is our regulated study plan. Stu­ dents are in attendance over a concentrated period of five weeks, at the end of which there is a short examination and a weekend away from school. This period is followed by another of the same sort, all leading to a final examination. Thus the student is encouraged to call upon his powers of concentration over a period of sufficient length to insure constructive results, yet not long enough to prove fatiguing. I I i I Religious Training Religion is a vital part of every normal life. The religious train­ ing at Kents Hill endeavors to develop in each student sincerity and reverence. Although the school has enjoyed the patronage of the Metho­ dist Episcopal Church for more than a century, the religious train­ ing is non-sectarian. From eight to twelve denominations are represented in the student body each year, and the headmaster urges all students to strengthen their connections with their home churches. A regular course in Biblical Literature is required of all students and comes regularly once a week as part of the English course. All students attend morning chapel and the Sunday ser­ vice at the village church. Permission is granted to those of the Roman Catholic faith to attend services in a neighboring town. IT i Student Quidance Educational guidance is recognized as a necessary part of the modern school. Selection of studies which would be most bene­ ficial to the individual student is of the utmost importance. Therefore, all courses are planned in consultation either with the headmaster or with a member of the faculty. {9} I �I?' Requirements for Admission Students of good character who have successfully completed the usual eight elementary grades are eligible for admission to the secondary department. An honorable dismissal and a statement of work from the preceding school are required. Students who have had one or more years of work in an ac­ credited high school or academy may be admitted to the corre­ sponding year’s work in the school and may continue in that class if they are able to do the work. Students from two-year high schools and graduates from four-year high schools will find courses of study well adapted to their needs. The school reserves the right to decline the application of any one who would not profit by the work of the school. Requirements for Graduation I A successful completion of sixteen units of study plus the pre­ scribed study of the Biblical Literature and the required athletic and gymnasium work are necessary for graduation. In the Col­ lege Preparatory Courses, the student must also be prepared to enter the college of his choice. For students entering from other approved secondary schools, credit towards graduation will be given, unit for unit. Graduates from such schools may graduate from Kents Hill on the comple­ tion of one or more full years’ work, consisting of at least four units chosen with the approval of the headmaster. Ordinarily this work must be of advanced grade and must include senior English. A “unit” of study is a subject requiring five (in some classes four) prepared recitations a week for a school year, or ten class room periods of work calling for no outside preparation. To receive the school diploma, three-fourths of the work taken must be of “C” grade or better. The grade of “D” is considered a low passing mark and to those who receive the greater part of their grades in this classification a certificate will be issued. Admission to College The College Preparatory Course is set up to meet the College Board Examination requirements. The school is on the list of ■ {10} �accredited schools of the New England College Entrance Certifi­ cate Board whose certificates are accepted by most colleges in the United States which admit students by the certificate method. A higher grade of work than mere passing is required for certification to most of these colleges. Courses of Instruction The courses of instruction are sufficiently flexible to prepare stu­ dents for college, scientific school, or business. A general course gives to those who do not wish to enter college a broad, cultural foundation. I Certain studies are fundamental to a well-rounded education. Therefore, the full four year’s work in English, at least one unit of mathematics, two of science, and two of history are required of every student. 1 <1 Thorough Training in English I > The school gives particular care and attention to English. Oral and written themes are required throughout the course. In the junior year, a four weeks’ course in expression which stresses public speaking is given in the English Department. Students become accustomed to correct English, learn to appreciate it and to use it in everyday conversation. In addition, a thesis or a long essay on some subject in which the student is particularly interested is required of every senior. It has been found by colleges and secondary schools alike that the power to digest and reproduce the material which is found on the printed page is sadly lacking in our boys and girls today. This training, therefore, develops and broadens the student’s power to express intelligently his own or another’s thought. j-n MusiC'Theory'Harmony Piano instruction, courses in Harmony and Musical Theory may be taken under a competent Conservatory graduate. They are elective and count along with the other academic subjects for diploma credits. {11} i �Courses of Study in Detail Elective Studies in Italics College SECOND YEAR ENGLISH II LATIN II FRENCH I ALGEBRA II PHYSICAL EDUCATION Biology Music (^2, 1 or 2) FOURTH YEAR ENGLISH IV LATIN IV U.

The courses are designed to give practical training in shorthand, typewriting, accounting, etc., and to prepare the student for general office positions. The one-year course is intensive in character and is set up to meet the needs of those who wish to spend only one year in preparation. The two-year course follows a more leisurely procedure, is broader in scope, and offers a wider opportunity in the selection of elective subjects. The courses are open to all high school graduates without ex­ amination. A transcript of record and a certificate of graduation from the high school principal are the only prerequisites. As in the secondary school department, the administration re­ serves the right to reject any candidate who palpably would not, by reason of nature, preparation or character be benefited by membership in the institution. The charge for board, room, light, heat, and instruction is $525 for the year. For convenience, the tuition may be paid in four instalments. The charge for instruction to day students is $100 for the year. There are a few places for self-boarding stu­ dents at a charge of $30 a year for room rent. A limited number of scholarships and student working assign­ ments are available which may assist in reducing expenses. Ap­ plication for such assistance should be made as early as possible because there are not enough of these aids to meet the demand. There are also limited funds for student loans. Scholarships and student loans are described on pages 20 and 21. The school offers a wide range of student activities including sports, Outing Club, dramatics, literary societies, and social affairs. These activities are considered by educators to contain worth while educational values in addition to their primary recreational purposes. Special Courses I Those not wishing to take the complete work as outlined may have special courses arranged to meet their individual needs. Such arrangements must be made through consultation with the faculty. {14} �ONE YEAR INTENSIVE COURSE BUSINESS SECRETARIAL Periods per week Required Hours per week 3 English 3 English 8 8 Typing Shorthand 3 Secretarial Accounting Typing 8 3 Office Practice Secretarial Accounting 3 Recreation 3 Office Practice Recreation Required Electives Electives Salesmanship Salesmanship Economics Economics Advertising Advertising Minimum of 22 periods required.

The call of football, tennis, hiking, and Outing Club activi­ ties enables each one to enjoy some form of sport as soon as school opens. Golf can be added if there is sufficient demand. Membership in the Outing Club is open to all boys. Overnight camping trips, woodcraft, mountain climbing, and canoe trips are among the features of this Club. Winter is particularly delightful. Snow shoeing, hockey, skiing, and tobogganing are among the popular outdoor sports. For the more experienced boys, a Winter Sports Team is organized under whose auspices, in cooperation with the Outing Club, the Winter Carnival is held. At the same time, the gymnasium is kept busy with Varsity Basketball, Indoor Tennis, and Intramural Basketball Leagues. With the coming of spring, there is baseball and other season­ able sports. Kents Hill teams meet those from the foremost pre­ paratory schools and competition is indeed keen. At this season the Outing Club fosters some of the longer mountain and canoe trips. All in all, there is sufficient diversification to meet the in­ terests of everyone. Athletics for Qirls The principal sports for girls are field hockey, soccer, soft-ball, volley ball, tennis, basketball, and outing trips. Teams are organ­ ized among the classes and compete with each other intramurally. Either the championship team or a group of the best players are selected for several games of interschool competition. All of the facilities and equipment which the boys use is available for the girls. Each girl is required to choose some athletic activity in which to obtain her physical recreation. { 16} �I ■■■ j?

Gym in the background �Water Sports - Canoe Trips Kents Hill students have more than average opportunity for swimming and other water sports. The school is actually sur­ rounded by lakes, several of which are visible to the casual eye. Our own three-mile Lovejoy Pond which the school property borders, is one of a series of nine connecting lakes, all accessible by canoe. In these home waters under competent supervision, the greater part of our canoe trips are taken. For the more ambitious, there are longer trips close at hand. The school is two miles from the Lake Maranacook chain and only six miles from the nearest entry into the well-known Belgrades. Outing Club Closely connected to the preceding paragraphs on water sports should come a word about the Outing Club. The Outing Club headquarters is an attractive cabin on the shores of Lovejoy Pond only a short distance from the school. This structure con­ tains a huge fireplace in the main Council Room, a kitchen built on the rear where many appetizing meals are prepared, and a roomy loft for sleeping quarters. Heading up the work of the Outing Club is an honorary body ■ called “Trail and Stream,” membership in which must be earned through definite work accomplished in carrying out the plans of the Club. Through these activities the students have at their dis­ posal throughout the entire year the recreational and educational advantages of the summer camp. Dramatics Dramatics have always played an important part in the life of the school. With the completion of the new gymnasium and its splendid facilities for play production, dramatics have taken on new impetus and bid fair to become a feature of the school. The educational values attending participation in amateur productions have long been recognized. Rather than produce a few experts, it will be our policy to extend the possibility of this form of ex­ pression to a large number of students. Through the Dramatic Club, students receive instruction in acting, scene construction, costume designing, and stage lighting, after the manner of the Little Theatre. Each production is staged entirely by the students under faculty supervision. <17} �Literary Societies The students maintain four literary societies — the Calliopean and the Literati Societies for boys, and the Adelphian and Eromathean Societies for the girls. These organizations correspond in importance to the fraternities and sororities of the colleges. Each society has its own rooms furnished and equipped by the members, and each has its weekly hour of meeting. Carefully planned programs of literary and musical numbers, discussions, and debates are among the many interesting events throughout the school year. These societies give boys and girls invaluable training in public speaking, parliamentary procedure, and dra­ matic or musical entertainment. Other Societies The Girl Reserves is an organization through which the girls carry on their religious activities. Lectures, discussions, and as­ sistance in the support of some worthy cause are among the principal activities. The “K. H. Club” is an organization of boys who have won their school letters in athletics. Through a high example of sports­ manship, the Club adds incentives for accomplishment and leadership. The school boasts of a Chapter of the Cum Laude Society, membership in which is achieved through excellence in scholar­ ship. No emblem connected with the school is more highly prized than the little gold key worn by the Society members. l i �Expenses The charge for board, room, light, heat, books, and instruction for the school year 1939-1940 is $525.00. There are no other school charges except those of the student organizations which are largely a personal matter. The charges are payable as follows: $262.50 262.50 September 11 January 30 If preferred, the school expense may be paid as follows: At least $131.25 will be required from all students on the opening day of school, September 11, the balance for the first semester to be paid November 1. Second semester payments may be made as follows: $131.25 on January 30 and the balance on April 1. Inasmuch as the school is not run for profit it has to insist upon prompt payment of accounts. Therefore no students will be allowed to take examinations unless their semester bills are paid and no student will be allowed to begin a subsequent semes­ ter if the tuition of the previous semester remains unsettled. Students whose bills are in arrears are subject to special attention for collection. In case parents wish the student to carry a charge account at the bookstore, ten dollars should be added to each of these instal­ ments as a deposit on account. No reduction in room rent or tuition will be made for absence, except on account of serious and long continued illness. Stu­ dents who leave school for any other reason are liable for the charge of the entire year. A charge of two dollars is made for each semester examination given at other than the usual time, and of one dollar for each monthly or occasional test. Breakage and repairs in excess of ordinary usage will be charged against the occupant of each room. Students having visitors for meals or lodging will have the charges added to their term bill unless the guests pay. Parents staying less than a full day, however, are asked to consider them­ selves as guests of the school. •{19} �j Day Students and Self-Boarders The charge for regular tuition for day students and for self-board­ ing students is one hundred dollars per year. Convenient rooms are available for self-boarding students. These rooms are furnished, supplied with electric light, and equip­ ped with a small stove, but have no steam heat. The cost is fif­ teen dollars per semester in Torsey, Ludden, and Chase Houses. Student Employment A considerable amount of janitor service, waiting on tables, and other work is done by students who need assistance in meeting their expenses. Such opportunities are, like the scholarships, as­ signed on the basis of financial need, personal character, and accomplishment in studies. Scholarships J I I I V ! The following scholarships are available for covering part of the tuition expenses of a limited number of students: Sarah A. Edgecombe Scholarship Fund founded by Sarah A. Edgecombe of Bath to aid students who may be deemed worthy of aid, especially those who may be prepared to enter the Christian Ministry. Greely Scholarships, founded by the late Cyrus Greely of Lewiston. Eva Adams Scholarships established by Dr. Eva Adams of Brunswick, Maine, to help deserving and needy students. The Call Fund established by Elizabeth A. Call, the income to be used annually to help deserving students. The Alumni Fund established by alumni of Kents Hill for use of needy and deserving students. Jennie Philbrick Page Scholarship, founded by her sister, Geneva Philbrick Browne. This scholarship is for girls, with preference to residents of Maine. {20> ■ �The Lindsay Fund established by the late Agnes M. Lindsay of Bridgewater, New Hampshire. The income from $15,000 is to be used to aid deserving students from the towns of Howland, En­ field, and Lincoln, Maine. If there are no such students from these towns at any time then the income from the fund shall be applied for the aid of deserving students from the State of Maine. A limited number of scholarships are offered to freshmen and are assigned to geographical location. A scholarship is available to the School Unions in the State of Maine for assignment to Freshmen entering the Boarding Depart­ ment. The scholarships are assigned for the semester. The applicants must need help, must demonstrate good character by references acceptable to the school and by conduct in the school, and must expect to render some service to the school. Satisfactory work must be maintained in studies, and preference will be given to applicants maintaining honor grades. Student Loans The school has at present a small endowment which provides limited funds for student loans. These funds may be borrowed without interest under conditions similar to those governing the assignment of scholarships. Eliza A. Barnard Memorial Fund. The income from a fund of $5,000 given by Charles A. Barnard in memory of his mother Eliza A. Barnard is used in accordance with the conditions laid down by the donor “the income thereof to be loaned to worthy students needing financial aid in pursuing their studies. I desire that this shall not be regarded as a charity, and that those so receiving such aid give their promissory notes therefor, pay­ able without interest at such times as the principal of said institu­ tion shall determine.” H. C. Gleason Helping Fund. Mr. H. C. Gleason bequeathed to the school $20,000 to be held until the accumulated interest and principal amounts to $30,000. The interest from the fund is then to be loaned to “deserving and worthy students of either sex who have no other way of raising funds for an education .... pref­ erably to boy students from the farming communities of Maine {21} J �to defray their school and college expenses at Maine Wesleyan Seminary and College the same to be repaid to the school as soon as students are able to do so.” The income from this fund will be available at the present rates of interest in about five years. Honors and Awards I The Honor List is composed of all students who have maintained honor grades (A or B) in studies aggregating twenty or more prepared recitations a week, or their equivalent. This list is made up each month, but the permanent honor list consists only of those who maintain an honor average throughout the year. The Knowles Prize, given in memory of Mark T. Knowles of Augusta by members of his family, is awarded to a Senior for excellency in scholarship and other outstanding merit. The 1913 Prize, given by the Class of 1913, is awarded at the discretion of the headmaster; for the past few years he has awarded it to that senior who in the estimation of the faculty has exercised the greatest influence for good during the year. The Kreger Prize established in 1937 by Jennie Flood Kreger of Fairfield is awarded to that Junior who is outstanding in character and scholarship and who plans to return to the school for the senior year. The Paul Prizes, given in memory of Dr. Willard A. Paul, of Weston, Mass., are awarded to the two boys who have kept the most orderly room during the year. cA <Word to Barents Students should be provided with a complete outfit of bedding, pillows, towels, napkins and napkin rings. Draperies, pictures and rugs are desirable. Clothing should be simple and comfortable. Heavy shoes, overshoes, a warm overcoat, and suitable outdoor sport togs for summer and winter are necessary. Students are definitely re­ quested to have their bedding and personal articles of clothing marked with indelible ink. Slippers with soft heels should be part of every girl’s equipment. Girls are requested to purchase the regulation gymnasium suit which can be obtained through the school at cost. High white tennis shoes are required for indoor gymnasium work. ■{22} I �Laundry may be cared for through a local agency or be done by competent women near the school. Many of the students send their laundry home by mail, using convenient boxes designed for that purpose. Spending money should be limited to not more than one dollar a week. Parents may make deposits of money at the school office so that students may draw against these accounts for spending money, Valuables and large amounts of money should not be left in the students’ rooms; the school is not responsible for losses. Arrangements may be made at the office for their safe keeping. Correspondence in connection with school business or with special permissions for students should be sent directly to the office and not to the students. Possession of fire arms or fire works on the part of the students is strictly prohibited. Money cannot be advanced to students by the school except in an emergency, and then only on instruction from the parents. The school is prepared to care for simple ailments and to take preliminary care in case of more serious illness, at least until the parents can be informed. It reserves the right, however, to em­ ploy at once a physician or nurse at the parent’s expense, if the case seems urgent. From our own experience with the ailments which beset boarding school pupils, we have found that the con­ sumption between meals of rich food, candy, and the like, is for the most part responsible. Parents are therefore requested not to send boxes of food or candy. The school reserves the right to en­ force this suggestion whenever it may be deemed necessary. A health certificate signed by the family physician is required of all students. In order to keep down irregularities there will be a charge of five dollars for late return from vacations or weekends. For cuts immediately preceding a vacation or weekend a charge of two dollars will be levied for each class. To prevent a misuse of electricity a charge of four dollars and fifty cents a semester will be made for each light in addition to those provided by the school. Lessons in piano, organ, and violin are made by special arrangement with the Headmaster. 4 23} �Board of Trustees TERM EXPIRES 1939 Rev. Wilbur F. Berry, A.B., D.D. Ray N. Randall, M.D. Fred E.
