It is the oldest preparatory school society in America conducted by-students, and with an uninterrupted ex­ istence of 100 years. Anti-dated by only three college Greek letter fra­ ternities, it is a remarkable history that a society of its character should i carry on for that length of time. | Opened in 1824 Maine Wesleyan Seminary opened its doors to students in February, 1S24 and the Calliopean Society was formally organized March 17, 1S29. In its in­ ception it was the idea and work of one man, Merritt Caldwell, then prin­ cipal of the school. The original pur­ pose was to provide a library for the use of the students. Associated with Caldwell in that first meeting were Gersham F. Cox and Elihu Robinson, the latter, one of the founders of the institution. The main object of the society was to encourage a greater interest in' lit­ and provide ample opportunity i: I erature for debating. One of the first questions debated was, "Should Infidel Publica­ Early building used for meetings of Calliopean Society, at Kent's tions bo Prohibited by Law?"

Kent’s Hill to Hold > •. 106th Commencement Over Next Week-End t. ;■', s ■ The hundred and sixth Com­ mencement Exercises of Kent’s Hill Seminary will be held this coming week-end, beginning Friday after- ; noon, the 14th, and extending through the fBrenoon of Monday, the 17th. The outstanding feature of this Commencement is, of course the hundredth Anniversary of the Calliopean Society. This society, organized in 1829, is a literary and semi-secret society and has been in continuous existence, so far as is known, for a longer time than any other secondary school students’ organization in the country. Many of the old “Cals” will be here throughout the entire week-end but the high tide of the celebration will . be on Saturday afternoon and eve­ ning. Most of them will be present for the alumni luncheon at noon which will be followed by a baseball game in the afternoon between the school team and a team com- ■ posed pf old time Calliopeans. The i largest attendance will be .at the public meeting In the evening at which the History of the Society will be read by Charles Crosby and the principal address will be de­ livered by Rev. Payson E. Pierce, '93. The annual Calliopean Banquet will be served after this meeting in the dining room of Sampson Hall. An old time Calliopean, Judge Ed­ ward H. Adams, ’90, of Portsmouth, IN. H„ will deliver the address, at the Last Chapel Exercises on SatJurday morning. So far as is known. the oldest Calliopean to take part will be Rev. George R. Palmer, of Portland, of the class of '67. Mr. Palmer, who recently celebrated his ninetieth birthday and who for many years has been a member of the Board of Trustees, will act us ■ hapluin for the occasion. The Class Day Exercises will be held as usual as will' the annual Prize Speaking Contest and two speakers of exceptional ability are provided for the regular numberfon the program. Professor Charles M. McConnell, of Boston University School of Theology, who for a num­ ber of years has made a special study of rural churches, will preach the Graduation sermon Sunday morning, and Arthur G. Staples, Editor of the Lewiston Journal, a( member of the Board of Overseers of Bowdoin College and recognized throughout the Eastern part of the country as one of the ablest men of his profession, will address the, senior class at its graduation exer­ cises Monday morning.

Hill, June 11.—When, jKent’s Hill observes its commencejment week beginning Friday, June 114, there will also be celebrated at the same time the one hundredth I anniversary of the oldest Prep 1 School society in the country. The boys’ society called the Calliopeans, was organized one hundred year's ago and numbered among its membership such names as Han­ nibal Hamlin, vice president un­ der Abraham Lincoln, Hudson Maxim, the inventor. Chancellor Day of Syracuse University, and Joseph Cummings Chase, whose recent portraits of the generals and commanders of the World War have attracted such favorable comment both in the country and abroad. On Friday, June 14, this Society will begin the celebration of its one hundredth anniversary and hun­ dreds of old members are expected at the reunion held at Kent's Hill, Readfield, Maine.______ ___ __ .____ 1 Kent’s Hill Seminary opened its' doors to students in'February, 1824, and the Calliopean Society was for­ mally organized on March 17, 1829. Little did the older people of that day think that this new organiza-’ tion of 16 preparatory school boys would have a continuous active ex-] istence, with regular meetings week after week during the school, year for a century to come. The first objects of the society' were largely literary. The consti­ tution provided that at each meet- i Ing "there shall be two Declama-; tions (one to open and one to close the meeting.) One written Dis­ sertation and one Forensic Dispu­ tation.” This order of exercises was followed for many years but has been much elaborated and en- . larged in modern times. | The first meeting at which the regular program was presented ’was held April 7, 1829, and the questions for debate was ‘‘Should Infidel Publications bo prohibited! by law." Oddly enough for ..those! days it was decided in the nega­ tive. The society has in its possession a complete set of its records from its organization to date with the exception of one volume containing some records in the sixties. It also has about 40 volumes of bound pa­ pers containing the literary efforts of its members and the papers read at public meetings for many years. These are all hand written and many in most elegant styles of penmanship with title pages often .beautifully illuminated with satn-l Plts__of pen drawing and letteringj That such work was done by al schoolboy's society and then iiri turn preserved and carried on by' generation after generation of boys . is rather remarkable.. The first meetings were doubt­ less held ip the various school rooms of the Seminary. Later when Bearce hall was built the so­ ciety had a room allotted to its use. Still later when the school needed1 this room the society moved to the floor above, and for 40 years they have now occupied the east room! on the top floor of Bearce hall. About 25 years ago, within the. . -------------------------- back.” The present boy members of this century old society still cite the story as an illustration of the fact that a "Cal” is always a "live wire” even though he grows whiskers and returns to be president of his old school. The plans for the Calliopean Cen­ tennial Celebration are being made lin cooperation with the General Alumni Committee of the school and beginning on June 14, so that those returning may also attend many of• the Kents Hill commencement exer­ cises. On the evening of Friday the 14th the present active members of the society, students at the school, will hold one of their regular meetings in their hall to which the many re­ turning "Cals” will go to meet and greet each other, some perhaps who have not seen each other for 50 years or more when they’ were stu­ dents together at the school. On -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _■ memory of many of the men re­ turning to this reunion, this hall was repaired and redecorated at considerable expense and the boys of that day were exceedingly proud of it. One thing that adds point to many! of the stories told, is that Kent’s I : Hill is an old institution beloved by I everyone that has ever attended/it and many of its teachers are stu­ dents of former years. That the Calliopeans had some iidea old students might return as teachers is evidenced by an article in their original constitution which provided that should any man be elected president of the Seminary w’ho had as a student belonged to the Calliopean Society he should automatically be president of their society as long as president of the institution. And lo and behold this came to pass. When Dr. Torsey was elected president of the school he auto’ matically became president of this schoolboy society for in his boyhood days he had been a member. Later i Dr. Edgar Smith had the same dis­ tinction. One of the best stories is told of an event during Dr. Torsey’s presi­ dency of tho school. He had a one horse chaise in which he used to drive around the country and equip­ ped with a large storm curtain in front which protected him from the rain a.nd wherever Dr. Torsey went the chaise was sure to go. One day some of tho students] conceived that it would be a bright1 idea to take this vehicle down over ] the hill and back it into one of the numerous ponds which surround the seminary. The word was passed, around to various youngsters and when darkness fell a group of them got-into the shafts and taking the chaise down over the bill backed it a little ways into the pond. Laugh­ ing, ike boys turned to retrace thwr -.ops up the hill when sud­ denly (lie storm curtain on the chaise parted and Dr. Torsey’s voice said, “Well boys, you have en­ joyed hauling me down over the I . Saturday there will be public exer­ cises and the Calliopean Banquet will be held in the evening. Arrangements are being made to accommodate all who return at the various summer camps and hotels in the community and there will be a general headquarters room where will imevery returning “Cal" mediately go and make himself known. r * l! f ■ �- , :■ ■ z. ■. ■ A';; -A ■■ - : 1 b___ '■ ■ ■’ < ■ y .

Iteadfield. later of Boston, was a J | member of the physiology class. 1 Among the speciments in the • laboratory was half of a small mani- • kin that occasionally was brought ’ out and walked around the class for : examination, like the ghost of Ham­ let’s father. The spine had been un­ jointed at the waistline, while the < lower limbs were left nearly intact, i Only the flesh had been removed: 1 the tendons, veins and arteries were ’, I still where Nature had placed them, : I rhe blood-vessels filled with some I 1 hardened red substance to simulate blood. Apparently the dried sped- ; men had been coated with varnish or shellac as an additional presor- ; rative, for it was of a e How -brown 1 color. Shaped like a huge tuning­ fork, it was hardly an agreeable ex­ hibit. On one of tho occasions when this ghost walked, Stevens happened to be sitting in the front row. The skeleton had passed from hand to hand thru that setteeful of students and was traveling along the one in the rear. It had just reached the student immediately behind Wilbur, • when Prof. Stone went to the board to draw a figure'.

The support realized from your gifts provides us the opportunity to achieve a higher level of quality. The funds contributed last year enabled us to obtain computer and library resources we could not otherwise afford, to carry out maintenance that would have been deferred, and to offer scholarships that would not otherwise have been available. Total Annual Fund Goal for 1979-80: $47,000. We believe that the purposes of the 1979-80 Annual Fund reflect a wide variety of the needs and aspirations of a preparatory school. You may be assured that your gift will be applied to an important range of activities and will be administered by conscientious stewards. As we approach the 1979-80 Annual Fund drive, we are encouraged by the sure knowledge that the skills, values, and discipline of a Kents Hill education are more essential and appropriate than ever.

Statistics show that the enrollment in college has increased about five times as rapidly as the general popula­ tion. This remarkable increase makes it impossible for the colleges to ac­ commodate all those who seek admis­ sion. So many students are awaiting entrance, there is room only for those who would reflect most credit. The problem is how best to deal with this situation. One way out of the difficulty is to increase the equipment, a method for­ bidden by the present financial status of the most of our universities. An­ other method is to limit the enrollment to the best of the applicants. Educational leaders are striving to find more adequate means for selecting those best fitted to profit by the oppor­ tunities offered. There seems to be a tendency to place upon the secondary school prin­ cipals the responsibility of choosing for the various colleges the students who in their judgment are ready to profit by college training. Such selec­ tions are based upon something more than the academic achievement of any pupil concerned. Health, character, and leadership have been added to the scholastic requirements. Indeed the scholastic requirements are changing from year to year. As long as the chief function of the secondary school was to prepare for college, and while the college had a uniform course of study with special reference to those training for the higher professions, no change in the early admission requirements was needed. But when the character and scope of the .secondary school was changed, the enriched curriculum of the secondary schools enabled the col­ leges to add to its curriculum more modern subjects. With such changes in colleges, and with the introduction of technical schools, the resulting vari­ ation in admission requirements has forced an intolerable burden on the secondary schools. hen the subjects required for col- �4 THE KENT’S HILL BREEZE lege admission were prescribed, and Originally the purpose of this board the amount to be mastered in these was to provide uniform examinations subjects was fixed, the secondary for all candidates seeking admission to school desiring to fit any students for the colleges that formed the associa­ college, was required to base its cur­ tion.

The state should seriously consider the establish­ ment of scholarships at these old schools, rather than their abolition.” A small high school does not have the funds to engage good teachers. Large public high schools have the funds but lack the individual attention which is always best and often neces­ sary. The private school has small classes, individual attention and the money to engage good teachers. The public institution has many diverse interests but the private one remains faithful to the old tradition for which it was founded. These have been found superior in all ways as the results show. All people are accepted at a public school but this is not so in regard to a private one. Those of the latter class are able to eliminate all undesirable people at once but a public school can only segregate, not eliminate. Dr. Julius Sochs says in his book on “ The American Secondary School and its Problems ” — “ A general continuity in educational growth ought to be the private school’s dominant feature and a marked gain in educational economy should be the in­ evitable result.” This economy should take the form of shortening the time for college preparation. Many college presidents say that students enter college too late, that they ought to enter professional careers before they are twenty-five years of age. This cannot be accom­ plished at present. The time must be shortened in elementary and secondary schools. It has been discovered that with thorough teaching and a definite end, the time can be shortened. The private schools can brush away non essentials and concentrate on the end in view. They are able to prepare the students for higher training. It is for them to get students into college earlier. This will be a benefit to the nation. The lowering of the college age is the next inevitable step. Why should not the private school take the lead? In closing I believe that I am able to say that in every way Kent’s Hill Sem­ inary has more than justified its exist­ ence and we who go forth from its halls to-day, go with higher standards, nobler ideals as well as richer equip­ ment because of the service that this one of those many schools has ren­ dered to us personally. Virginia H. McFadden, ’27. PEACE There is, without doubt, in the minds of the majority of the ablest men and women of America to-day a struggle between the forces of peace and war, between international peace and neutrality. It is a question which gives us the greatest challenge since civilization began. Colleges and Uni­ versities are endeavoring to instil in the minds of modern youth the injus­ tice of war, churches are proclaiming from the'ir pulpits the unchristian atti­ tude of nations against nations. So my subject for this morning will deal with the subject of peace. You may not agree. I do not expect all of you to, but do not dodge the challenge. In the midst of the toil and confu­ sion and struggle of man there has al­ ways been a bright vision of a better day. Poets, philosophers and prophets have sung of the peaceful eras long passed away. The philosopher has ! ■ * �THE KENT’S HILL BREEZE studied human nature and human events until he has visioned in the distant future a sunny period where war shall be unheard of. In the same way the Prophet inspired from heaven tells us of a period when men shall suffer no more war. There is not a Christian who can doubt that the pro­ phecies of the holy men of old, must, eventually, be fulfilled. No person, being familiar with the past and com­ paring it with the present state of civilization, can say that there is no hope that the nations will understand one another. The nature of man coin­ cided with the voice of prophecy; his sentiment, affections and understand­ ing are averse to war. Among those elements of character found in every condition of human existence is — Humanity — that quality of mind which leads us to weep and pity over the sufferings and disappointment of others. Humanity shudders at the great amount of suffering, at the evils and misery which follow war, that monster which wastes life and prop­ erty, spoils domestic life and comfort, the arts of life, the noblest enterprises which employ the faculties of the greatest minds, ruins character and crumbles mighty empires to dust. So long as war exists these fates will fol­ low ! The resemblance of man to the brute has gradually worn away and his higher faculties are exercised. Every fact learned adds energy to his mental energy. The absurdity of war will be clear if we look at its extravagance, its effect upon the belligerents. 1. Economics of war. History has unfailingly demon­ strated that there has never yet been an aggressive war whose losses have not 9 far exceeded the total value of the ob­ ject of controversy. There never has been an offensive war that has not oc­ casioned, for instance, a loss of ten­ fold, the property consumed in prepar­ ing for war, human lives which are taken from the most valuable spots of higher classes, interruptions of agricul­ ture and arts, suspension of moral and intellectual nature, degradation of character, the creation of an army which remains after the war is over a burden on the people. As a further illustration we- have our recent World War. There resulted from this monster 13,000,000 dead soldiers 13,000,000 dead civilians 20,000,000 wounded 9,000,000 war orphans 5,000,000 war widows 10,000,000 refugees And its cost in dollars for every day during the duration was $215,000,000, that is, $9,000,000 every hour. It is calculated that 5-6 of the taxes in the United States go for past, present, or future wars. A complete conception of liberty will do more and more to prevent the resort to arms by resolving the question of war to a Question of economy. 2. The effect of war upon the belligerents. The philosophy of war is absurd. Men fight by armies in order to gain certain ends, usually selfish ones, or else to defend themselves against ag­ gressors. They set on fire the evil passions of millions, destroy one an­ other for the sake of giving content to the survivors. The victor is intoxi­ cated with success, maddened of human blood, and proud.

Only one letter man, “ Mai ” Tapley, and one substitute, “ Al ” Sanborn, remained from last year’s club, consequently, Coach Davis had to develop practically a new team. After a week of prelimi­ naries we played Morse High, of Bath, in a practice game. The game only went seven innings, during which we gathered six runs to Morse’s one. Capt. “ Stan ” Allen pitched wonder­ ful ball the four innings he worked, striking out ten men. “ Ed ” Mannix who followed “ Stan ” also pitched good ball. We played another practice game with the Winthrop Town team, win­ ning 10-3. Bryant, Murphy, and Cur­ ry starred with the willow. Directly after this game Murphy left school which proved to be a severe blow to us. Our first scheduled game was with Bridgton Academy, which we lost 8-7. This was a tough game to lose. Close decisions by the Bridgton umpire cost us the game. Mannix led at the bat with three hits — one a triple to score three men. Coburn Classical journeyed here from Waterville and took us into camp 10-5. Mannix again led at bat while “ Stan ” Allen pitched a nice game and but for several costly errors should have won. Our next game was with M. C. I. at Pittsfield. M. C. I. had a nice “ rep ” as a hard slugging team but with “ Ed ” Mannix pitching they did but little. Mannix, Tapley and Curry led at bat, each getting two hits. Score: K. H 5, M. C. I. 4. The following Wednesday we jour­ neyed to Farmington and played the Abbott School, winning 21-6. Mannix led the batting with four hits. Moore and Mannix hit home runs. We went to Waterville for our re­ turn game with Coburn and again lost 10-5. Errors behind Mannix again proved costly. Tapley led with two hits. Rain spoiled a game with Cony High School after two innings had been played. The following Saturday came the Hebron game. With the score at the last of the eighth 1-0 in favor of Hebron two errors and three hits gave them the game 6-0. Rising, the Hebron star, had a wonderful day allowing but one hit, this by “ Bucky ” Merrill. “ Ed ” Mannix also pitched air tight ball up to the eighth. The next Tuesday we played Bowdoin Second team, winning 5-3. “ Ed ” Mannix starred at bat with a triple to score three men and win the game. Captain “ Stan ” Allen pitched a nice game. The next Wednesday we played Bates Second team at Lewiston, win­ ning in ten innings 5-4. Mannix and Merrill led at bat with two hits apiece. The next Saturday was our home game with Hebron. A cold wind pre­ vented effective pitching but Hebron’s defence was much tighter than ours, giving them an 8-2 victon’. Mannix with a triple was the leading hitter. �14 THE KENT’S HILL BREEZE On June 8 the postponed game with M. C. I. was played. The Hilltoppers had an off day and through their fre­ quent miscues M. C. I. emerged the victor, 11-4. Eddie Mannix was the bright light of the game. June 11 before our Commencement crowd we lost to Bridgton Academy 3-0. Despite the fact that the Cal ban­ quet kept the team up until the early ' 1 morning the team played good ball Their sole difficulty was hitting in the pinches. Captain “ Stan ” Allen pitched a nice game. The following have received letters: Capt. Allen Ray Baum Eddie Mannix Eddie Bryant Mai Tapley Al Sanborn Izzy Raichlin Hank Harrington Cale Curry George Merrill George Moore Chummie Taylor, Mgr.

School Organizations Calliopean Banquet night wound up a success­ ful year for the Calliopeans; a year that will not be easily forgotten by the fellows. There is some unknown, can ’t-be-touched spirit that seems to get under one’s skin in this society; it is prevalent among the present mem­ bers but it is especially evident among the alumni. It’s a great organiza­ tion : let’s treasure it, keep it good and hope to have it last forever. The banquet was held Friday, the 10th of June, at the Androscoggin House in Wayne. Many alumni were present and a good program was ren­ dered. Banquet program: Alumni! Your Presence is an Inspiration Andrew D. Ellis Calliopia of To-day William Richardson Calliopia!

Black; Vice-President, James Cous­ ens; Secretary, Robert Snell; Treas­ urer, Stanley House; Chaplain, Wil­ liam Richardson. Literati The Literati society ended a very successful year with a banquet at the Elmwood Hotel in Readfield, the eve­ ning of the 10th of June. A very in­ teresting program was presented and the banquet was well attended. This year the Society enjoyed a very pros­ perous season and the many members returning next year point to another successful season in 1927-28. The officers elected for the spring term were: President, Allen K. Jewett; Vice-President, Seth Lamson; Secre­ tary, Philip Greenleaf; Treasurer, Stephen Jewett; Chaplain, Whitney Feltmate. Adelphian A meeting of the Adelphians was called Friday evening, April Sth, and the following officers elected for the spring term: President, Leaness Gay; Vice-President, Florence Messier; Secretary, Marjorie Elliott; Treas­ urer, Katherine Ladd; Chaplain, Millicent Wing. The society programs for the regular and joint meetings have been especially �THE KENT’S HILL BREEZE fine, and many regret that the last meeting of the school year has been held. But we all wish the future may hold as pleasant times for the (mem­ bers and) future members of the Adelphian society, as this year has held. Eromathean In a special meeting called to order April 7th, the following officers were elected for the spring term : President, Barbara Sawyer; Vice-President, Mary Field; Secretary, Mabel Millay; Treasurer, Barbara Davis. The time has been so taken up by other school affairs that time for a Joint Public meeting could not be squeezed in by any of the literary societies, but the Joint Privates have been well prepared and very original stunts have been per­ formed. On the whole, we have completed a very enjoyable and profitable year in our society life and hope many more years of the same kind may follow. Eromathean and Adelphian The Eromathean and Adelphian society members met in a joint private meeting in the Adelphian Hall on Fri­ day evening, April 29, and program was rendered on which a humorous article was a (very) short pantomime entitled “ The Gathering of the Nuts." The cast was selected from the audi­ ence before the title was announced and happened ( ?) to consist largely of teachers. Joint Meeting of the Four Societies On Friday evening, June 3d, the Calliopean, Literati, Adelphian and Eromathean society members met in a joint meeting which showed that not 17 only the society members were friendly among themselves, but that friendly feeling and good fellowship existed among the members of all of the soci­ eties. The first part of the program was held in Literati Hall, then after refreshments were served, the remain­ der of the meeting was held in Calli­ opean Hall. This meeting was a novel experience to most of us. The program was: Art. I Scripture ! Reading Art. II Prayer Literati Chaplain Art. Ill Opening Address Myron Johnson Art.

The spring term of the Y. W. C. A. like the other two terms this year has been a success from beginning to end. Quite a few new members have joined; and there have been eight regular meetings held in all. The Y. W. helped the Y. M. put on a supper which has been acclaimed “ a regular feed ”, by those who went. We have had the good fortune to have four special addresses given us this term. They were as follows: Mrs. Heywood was kind enough to speak to us twice, once on “ Anger ” and second on “ Love ”. Both of these were interesting. Miss Essery spoke to the girls on “ Friendship ", and the talk was surely helpful. We were able to induce Mrs. Parmenter to give us a talk once and we are more �IS THE KENT’S HILL BREEZE than pleased that she would consent — especially after hearing her talk on “ Supposing ”. Besides these pleasur­ able and unusual events we were able to hear Mr. Butler from Bowdoin Col­ lege speak to the Y. W. and Y. M. at a joint meeting. Last but not least the Y. W. C. A. have had some more of those choco­ late bars which have always sold so fast. The money received from the candy helped make up the amount needed for the girl in India, whose support is the happy task of our Y. W. Y. M. C. A. The new officers for the “Y” were elected as follows: Whitney Feltmate, President; Kenneth Taylor, Vice-President; Paul Sulmonetti, Secretary and Treasurer. Mr. Feltmate has proven himself an able man for the job and the weekly meetings have been well attended. The Y. M. C. A. fund is growing. Albert T. Rhames, ’28. Frankie Elliott, ’28. Campus Notes One of the important features of this term is the establishment of Mr. Nicoll on our Faculty as teacher of Mathematics in the place of Mr. Hamlen. This year, as is the custom for Kent’s Hill students, one day was set apart from the usual routine of our regular hum-drum life and we all went to Maranacook. It was not such a good day as we could have wished but a good time was enjoyed by everyone. The few of us who were here over the Memorial Day week-end had the pleasure of a fine, balmy afternoon at Mrs. Harvey’s camp on Lake Marana­ cook. Besides the dancing, the boats and canoes, refreshments were served. Some of the braver and more hardy students went in the water for a swim. The following day, May 31st, at our Memorial Day chapel service we had the honor of listening to Captain Bishop, a Confederate Civil War vet­ eran, who told of some of his experi­ ences when a boy of twelve or thirteen years, in the siege of Petersburg, Va. On May 10th the Expression recital by Miss Pauline McQuigg was very much enjoyed. She was assisted by the Music faculty, whose numbers are reported in the Music notes. Miss McQuigg’s program was as follows: Poems by James Whitcomb Riley, The Raggedy Man, Nothin’ to Say and An Old Sweetheart of Mine; poems by T. A. Daly, The Harbinger of Spring, Between Two Loves and Carlotta’s In­ decision; Preciosa, the Spanish Danc­ er, a play in two acts, adapted from the n Spanish Student ” by Longfellow.

Accept affliction as a challenge, If handicapped, just do your best; Use all your gifts religiously. Have faith, keep sweet, try with a zest. Let friendships be devoutly cherished, Wealth cannot buy a faithful friend; It means far more than long acquaintance. There’s oneness in it without end! Cultivate the love of childhood, Make their presence your delight; Confidence is quite contagious And puts all fussiness to flight. Seek the best in all about you, Reeds may bend and fires burn low; Lift the reed perchance to bless you I Fan the embers, they may glow! Cultivate the gift of humor, Laugh when others scold and frown; You may save the broken-hearted From the moods that cast them down! Never whine! Cheer up, be grateful! Why sit down to mope and cry ? Pain may pinch you, but why whimper? You can conquer if you try! When affliction does its utmost. Tries, and tests, and purifies; All the finer virtues flourish, And are wings by which to rise! Rev.

Tatlock �events &Hill Tune: “Materna” The fathers came and viewed this land, These hills and valleys fair; Its lakes, like precious gems, adorn The landscape rich and rare: Kents Hill, Kents Hill, the beautiful, Long may this vision stay, Of hills and dales and fertile fields To cheer us on our way. Here saints and seers and hopeful youth Commingle in the quest For life abundant and the power To be and do our best: Kents Hill, Kents Hill, the wonderful, What charm thy name recalls In vanished personalities Amid these stately halls. Here scholars breathed ambrosial air And tasted hallowed sweets While learning in these halls of light And mingling on these streets: Kents Hill, Kents Hill, though beautiful, A hidden power is thine By God’s good grace above all else, A spirit all divine. The fathers saw beyond The Hill, And we that vision share: To Heights Beyond they led the way With faith and courage rare: Kents Hill, Kents Hill, we will pursue That star in Yonder Sky That leads to service here below And honors God on High. 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 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
