Dear Mrs, liaisons
Checking our recorded history
we find that the Kents Hill Female College
was chartered in I860 and the firsi^aegree
was awarded in 1862 to Liszle A. .'Ulen,

In our research, the only college
that we have found that antedated Kents Hill
is Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio, started
in 1833 with their first decree being -.warded
in 1841.
Mount Holyoke was ectublishod as a
Seminary in 1337 but was not chartered as a
college until 1393»

Other colleges we have checked were:
Bites, chartered in 1864; Swarthmore, 1864;
Wellesley, 1875; Vassar, 1865; Smith, 1875,
and Bryn Mawr, 1885*

Sincerely,
Edith S. Thanarus
Alurmi Secretary

Mrs. Ralph Nelson
301 Upham Street
Melrose, Mass. 02176

A class consisting of the editors of the
Breeze, and of all others interested, has
been formed for the purpose of conducting
the paper along the lines explained in the
preceding issue. This class meets every
Monday evening at seven o'clock for discussion of all parts of
the editorial work, from the writing of the articles to the corx
rection of the proof. The method is to take up a single phase

25

�of the work at each meeting, to discuss types illustrative of
what is required, and to draw from them the principles to be
followed. Work of the kind discussed is then assigned to each
member of the class to prepare and pass in for the inspection
of the Editor-in-Chief before the next meeting, It is hoped in
this way to make the Breeze-work of material value to the
students generally, by giving them full opportunity to develop
their ability as writers and to receive practice in all branches
of magazine work.
—E, M, A., '02,
The Breeze has received with much regret the resignation
of the Assistant Business Manager, Mr, William Loren Libby,
'03, who is prevented by illness from returning to the Hill,
To the assistant managership thus made vacant, and to the
additional assistant managership not before filled, appointments
are announced herewith: Mr, Roscoe Hiram Remick of the
class of 1903, and Mr, Benjamin Wellington Bryant of the class
of 1905,
■^'V

The Breeze takes this opportunity to acknowledge the
art contributions in this number s the cover-design by Miss
Jessie E, Baker, *02, the initial “A" by Miss Lois Trefethen, the
head-piece for Athletics by Mr, Willard J, Rand, the head-piece
for Music Notes by Mr, Russell F, Conklin, '05, all of whom
are taking work in the Art School; and the sketches of
Yoshizawa O Toku San by Mr, Joseph C, Chase, '98, now an
art student in Brooklyn, N, Y,
—A. H, N,

�"CaleS Of SOWOohl. Like a breath from the Whispers
ing Pines comes the new cook or Bowcoin tales. The covers
design, a glimpse through the pines with the twin towers of
old King's chapel in the distance, outlined in bold relief against
the background of a crimson sunset's glow, cannot but awaken
a thousand memories in the mind of every Bowdoin man.
If the book's exterior promises good things within, a
casual glance at its mechanically perfect pages gives intimation,
and a perusal of its contents, confirmation, of the abundant
fulfillment of the promise. The stories are written for the
most part by men who have achieved success in the world of
letters and political life, and their narrations are of more than
passing interest to the general reader. To the Bowdoin alunv
nus, their interest must be absorbing, so faithfully and so well
do the Tales reflect the Bowdoin life and the Bowdoin spirit,
—F. A. S., '03.

��UJosbigawa ® Uoku San.
TOKU SAN, a young Japanese girl, spent
the summer on the Hill with Miss Mattie
Russell, who is well known in our school.
Yoshizawa O Toku San, for that is her full
name, was for eight years in the Aoyama
Girls' School in Aoyama, Japan.
After
her course there, she came to Herkimer,
N. Y„ for the kindergarten training which
she expects to use in missionary work
on her return to Japan. Though she has
been in this country only a few months,
she is well able to converse in our language
and has made a good beginning in the
study of music. One evening in August,
she, with her teacher, Miss Russell, gave
some interesting scenes from Japanese life and showed us a
large number of curios. No one who met her could fail to be
impressed by her marked intelligence and sweet courtesy i and
she has aroused in us all a deeper interest in her country and
her people. We hope her life may be full of happiness and
success.

The foot/ball season is now fairly under way. There is
great enthusiasm, and the season bids fair to be successful in
every respect, A number of games have already been ar/
ranged, with the prospect that several more will be added to
the list in the near future. Notable among these is the game
with E, M, C, S„ October 12, An indication of the general
interest felt in contests between these two schools is shown by
the fact that one of the city dailies recently devoted considera/
ble space to a review of past contests and the prospects in the
one about to take place, With this and the other games to be
played, the enthusiasm should be kept at white heat,
Carl Roberson Green has been elected Captain of the team
and will undoubtedly prove the right man in the right place.
He is well known in foot/ball circles, having been captain of
the Coburn team of last year, which was probably the strong/
est team Coburn has had in years, Here's success to MrGreen and his team.
—E. A, C., '03.

lamp, are very beautiful, and have already added much to the
enjoyment of the society. Through the Breeze we return
our thanks for these acceptable presents,
—L. S. C., '02.
The Eromathean Society is united in its wish to extend
a vote of thanks to the Eromathean Alumnae for the useful
present received from them. Signed in behalf of the society,
—Marion T. Bishop, Sec.

�The reception tendered to the new students by the four
literary societies, Friday evening, September sixth, was a very
enjoyable affair. Immediately after the election of society officers, the students of the Seminary and College assembled in
the gymnasium to welcome those for the first time in their
midst and to enjoy a general good time. The four newly
elected presidents received informally, and an order of five
marches was then carried out. The new students were each
in the care of some older student, and all thoroughly enjoyed
themselves. Music of the usual high standard was furnished
by Professor Morse, Mr. Pettingill, and the Misses Chase, Baker,
and Reed,
—S. W. R., '04.

At a recent meeting of the Athletic Association, it was
voted to so amend the constitution as to require that members
of the base-ball and foot-ball teams shall play in three games
instead of one before they can wear the much coveted “K. H."
The officers of the association for the year are i President, Olin
S, Pettingill, Wayne ; Vice President, Richard Allen, Columbia

In the Wesleyan Lit. is found
the following poem, entitled

XTbe IPopagers.
The waves roll long on the beach,
And the foam leaps high on the shoal;
The pines bend low and sigh
Like the wail of a murdered soul.

Now out through the surf runs the boat;
Trim in on the sheet I make fasti
Hark, how the wild gulls scream.
We’re back to free life at last.
Out through the white-capped waves,
Scorning the danger there,
With a shout of the wild, the free,
Away from the land we bear.
A crash—a leap of the foam,
The good boat shivered, and we
Go down to the soft white death,
Still, still in the arms of the sea.

Here is a poem from the Harvard Illustrated Magazine
that is very daintily conceivedi

Gbe Sanbs of tbe Sea.
The sands of the sea are many, love,
And the waves of the sea are deep,
And they toss the sand of the sea about,
Hither and yon, and in and out,
And they cut in twain the sedges stout
That up through the waters creep.
The sands of the sea are many, love,
And the waves of the sea are deep,
And I think with grief on the Now and Then,
For never shall I come back again
To peaceful lands and the towns of men,
Though ever my sweet-heart weep.
The sands of the sea are many, love,
And a shroud for my last long sleep,
For the doom of the ocean sweeps o’er me at last,
And the clutch of the sea it hath caught me fast,
But never my love for thee hath passed,
Though the waves of the sea be deep.
—R. T. Hale.

The Willia^ns, Lit seems to abound in good verse; take
for example

The pent-up might of the waves that roll
At sea, or their fury in the fray
Ashore, is music to the soul
Whose joy of life hath fled away.

GENERAL ADVANTAGES.
Buildings and Grounds.—The buildings are among the finest, and
the grounds extensive and attractive. Sampson Hall is a well-ap­
pointed boarding-house, with rooms light and pleasant, and accom­
modating one hundred and twenty-five boarders. Bearce Hall is a
large ana elegant seminary, containing recitation rooms, laboratories,
reading-room, chapel, society halls, etc.
Ricker Hall is an
elegantly equipped structure, containing the gymnasium, library, art
rooms, and the conservatory of music. Blethen Hall, which also
stands upon the campus, is a beautiful home for the President. The
value of the buildings and grounds is about §107,000.
Endowment.—The invested funds of the institution amount to
about 8120,000 and more will soon become available. The income
from this source is about six thousand dollars annually. That is to
say, students have given them each year, in the way of instruction,
about six thousand dollars, besides the use of buildings, grounds, and
equipments.
Library and Reading Room.—The library contains over eight
thousand bound volumes, and is sufficiently endowed to insure a uni­
form and healthy growth. Its contents are selected and arranged
with a special view to the needs of students and teachers. The read­
ing-room is well-appointed and supplies the papers and periodicals of
the day.
Societies.—There are four literary societies, the Calliopean and
Literati for gentlemen and the Adelphian and Eromathean for Ladies.
Each society holds a private meeting on Friday evenings, and one
public meeting each term. Each occupies a beautiful and elegantly
furnished hall, of which it has exclusive possession and control.
Variety of Work.—It will be noticed, from the preceding page
that a great variety of work is done. This affords wide opportunity for
selection, while at the same time contact with those of different tastes
and pursuits is favorable to symmetry of development.
EXPENSES.
The Institution was founded by benevolent mon, to enablo young people of
small means to obtain an education; and It has never lost sight of that object. Its
extensive appliances and large endowments enable It to furnish a high grade of
Instruction at a comparatively low cost. While students of means And oppor­
tunity to expend more liberally, those of limited resources are able to live eco­
nomically. Boarding In clubs, self boarding, and self-help make It possible to re­
duce expenses to tho lowest reasonable figure. No young person of tact and en.
crgy,'t may be safely said, need fail of an education through lack of means.

they are ever free with their opinion, regardless
of restrictions and the rights of others. On the
other hand is the humble student, endowed with
an imagination in the opposite direction. Imag­
ining that all eyes are upon him, and that all
minds are ready to criticise any flaw in his work,
he hesitates in all that he undertakes. Often
little things which come in his way, and which,
if seized with the determination of making the
most of them would be of great profit, are
allowed to slip away. The person whose imagi­
nation is not concentrated upon himself, but who
bends it in the direction of great thoughts, may
well be admired by all.

Hobbs has studied for some time under the best
artists of Boston, and comes to us well fitted for
her work. We feel fortunate in securing such a
teacher.
We are indeed proud of our teachers and
only regret that they do not receive the recom­
pense due their labors
We would not neglect
to mention the change in stewards. Mr. Pierce,
who was here for three years, has left us and
Mr. Norcross takes his place. While we were
sorry to lose our former steward we welcome the
new one.

WHERE IS THE STEAM HEATING?

O INCE the last Breeze was issued there have
been many changes here. The class of ’91,
with whom we associated, have left us for the
stern realities of life, and many new students
have come in to take their places.
We notice quite a change in the Faculty.
We regret deeply to lose Professor Strong, who
has labored so long for us, but wish him success
in his new field, and congratulate the high school
at Westfield, Mass., in securing such a teacher
for its Scientific Department. We also miss
Miss Meyers, whom duty called to her parents.
She will ever be remembered as a friend to those
who knew her.
Although Miss Beede was here but one term,
she gained many friends aud was much liked by
those who became acquainted with her. She
has been traveling in Europe for the last three
months, and as she returns to this country we
wish her only the best of success in whatever
work she undertakes.
While feeling the loss of our teachers who
have left us, we are glad to welcome the new
members of the Faculty, and hope to do this not
only in words but in actions.
Professor Taylor, who takes Professor
Strong’s place, is a graduate of Wesleyan and
has been in the electric light business for several
years. We find him very pleasant and all wish
him success.
Professor Caldwell, Colby, ’91, is a descend­
ant of the first principal at Kent’s Hill, and takes
the place vacated by Professor Tasker. He has
already’ won many friends and we predict the
best of success for him.
The Art Department is under the direction
of Miss M. L. Hobbs, of Salem, Mass. Miss

HIS is a very pertinent question, and one
which the students and friends of the school
have a right to ask. Last June the trustees
decided that steam heating for Sampson Hall
had become a necessity. Accordingly a commit­
tee of their number was appointed to take the
matter in charge aud report at the adjourned
meeting of the trustees in July, with a view to
putting in the plant during the summer vaca­
tion.
As a considerable part of the cost of this
enterprise must be met by subscriptions, the
alumni, at their annual meeting on Commence­
ment week, voted to co-operate with the trustees,
and raise §1,000 from their number. For this
purpose a committee of the alumni was appointed ;
and this committee set about the business of col­
lecting funds in real earnest. Their plan was
essentially this: to ask the alumni to furnish the
radiators necessary for the heating in Sampson
Hall. The matter was presented at the alumni
dinner, and the responsibility of collecting money
for sixteen radiators was assumed.
When the trustees met in July, however, it
seemed necessary for several reasons, but es­
pecially on account of the short time before the
opening of the fall term, to postpone the heating
by steam till next year. So the whole matter
was re-committed to the committee of the
trustees, with the understanding that this commit­
tee employ an architect and secure plans for the
building and also obtain bids for the work of
putting in the steam plant. The report of the
committee will be presented either at a special
meeting of the trustees, called for that purpose,
or at the annual meeting in June. The intention
is to have all the necessary arrangements com­
pleted before the next Commencement, in order

to a very fine concert by the Home Military
Band. The programme was as follows :
“The neighing steed, the trumpet’s blast,
The din and strife are o’er.”

While the rest of the party were strolling
through the cemetery, Davies and the writer
hastened to the Home to hear the noon concert
by the National Home Military Band. This
band, under the instruction of Prof. B. W.
Thieme, is probably the best in the State. Join­
ing our party after the concert, we strolled out
past Governor Stevenson’s fine residence to the
deer park. The two bear cubs attract our atten­
tion for a moment, and theu with one accord we
pay the monkey a visit. We have no sweet­
meats, so Wood pulls out a piece of chewingwax and gives a piece to his monkeyship. The
monkey chews and the Seniors laugh. The
efforts that monkey made to sufficiently masti­
cate that chewing-gum would have brought tears
from the Goddess of Liberty. There were thirty
deer in the park, and, after admiring them for
several minutes, we prepare to leave. As we
go out the gatekeeper says, “ This is the prettiest
party of ladies that has visited us during the
summer.” That man not only displayed good
judgment and an eye for beauty, but he got
tipped by Woodman, Foster, and other wealthy
Seniors. The boys were afterward told that
this was the best-behaved party that had been to
the Home for two years. After our visit to the

did either give expression to them; then one
openly declared she was disappointed and did not
like it, yet she was determined that her distaste
should not get the ascendency of her duty. Bat by
the next afternoon she had not only her dislike
of the work to contend with, but that most hope­
withering of all ailments — homesickness — had
taken complete possession of her and she was no
longer her own master. What was to be done?
She declared she was going home, yet there was
not enough ready money among us to purchase
a ticket. There was a check in reserve, but we
had no one to identify us. Surelj’ there was no
alternative but to pawn her watch. This we
intended to do, but in the meantime we secured,
otherwise, a few dollars, so that we were euabled
to procure the ticket.
She left us at 9 r.M. A little later you
might have seen two rather quiet girls walk­
ing to Drummond Street, for they had not quite
enough money to ride. Leaving you to surmise
what may have been our fate, during the remain­
der of our stay (nine weeks), we will proceed to
tell you what we sawr and learned of Montreal.
It is situated on a triangular shaped island,
of the same name, surrounded by the St. Law­
rence and Ottawa rivers. The two rivers unite
at the eastern point of the triangle, and flow
through the same channel. The waters, how­
ever, do not intermingle, but remain visibly
separate. The city has a population of more
than 186,000. Over one-half arc of French de­
scent, and about two-thirds are Roman Catholics.
The principal attraction of Montreal is its
churches, which number about seventy-seven.
St. Peter’s cathedral demands first attention. It
is patterned after St. Peter’s at Rome, of which
it is about half the dimensions. The church has
been building since 1868, and it will require
about a quarter of a century longer to complete
it. The cathedral of Notre Dame, patterned after
that renowned edifice in Paris, is the most beau­
tiful church in the city. It is said the church cost
over §6,000,000. Much of the ornament is of
gold. There are many of those dark, life-like,
sacred paintings, which appeal so strongly to
the emotions, also a number of beautiful and
valuable pieces of statuary. One piece particu­
larly attracted our attention : our Lord on the
cross, the wounds in his body, and the blood
oozing from them, the expression of agony de­

picted on his whole countenance, enhanced by
the dim cathedral light, faces one almost as real.
There are two towers on the church, 227 feet
high. In one are ten large bells, chimes ; in the
other is the Bourbon bell, the largest in America.
It weighs 24,000 lbs. It requires eighteen men
to ring these bells at once. A small party of us
went up in the tower one day. We ascended in
the elevator and received no little attention from
the one in charge. One of the girls remarked,
“He wants to be tipped;” another, “ Let him
want.” When we stepped on the landing below
he remarked, “Twenty-five apiece, please.”
Another notable attraction is Mount Royal
Park, on the top of Mount Royal. The ascent
is made by an inclined plane. There is an
observatoiy in the park, from which, it is said,
one can see one hundred and twenty miles down
the river. The cemeteries also are on Mount
Royal. Victoria bridge is a curiosity. It is
made of twenty-five iron tubes. An interesting
fact regarding it is that thirty thousand tons of
nails were used in its construction. There are
several libraries in the city, an art museum, and
an extensive museum connected with McGill
College.
A large portion of the population of the city
are of English origin and maintain English cus­
toms. There is very little association between
the French and English, the former being too
liberal for English conservatism. The French
have intermingled somewhat with the Indians,
and the language they speak is a confusion of
French and Indian dialects.
We might continue to tell you much about
the habits and customs of the people, but our
Breeze will not waft too much chaff.

WHAT WE DID AT OUR REUNION.
NE who knows anything of Kent’s Hill
students would never have mistaken the
company hurrying along Commercial Street, Port­
land, Tuesday morning, July 21st, dodging the
drops of rain, laughing merrily, and keeping up
a lively conversation. The occasion was the
first annual reunion of the class of ’89. As
one of that favored number I will try to give the
readers of the Breeze some idea of how we
passed the time. Amid talking, jesting, and
story-telling, we soon came in sight of the

The position our best business colleges are tak­
ing against the old method of increasing their
attendance by agreeing to find places for all
their graduates is indeed praiseworthy. No
school can honestly do this, and business men in
want of help are slow to apply to a school that

The sociable given by the Ladies’ Circle and
Missionary Society, September 16th, was a very
pleasant affair. Miss Vail gave a solo, with
guitar accompaniment by Misses Eastman, A.
and L,, which was pleasing to all. Later Miss
Stone presented familiar volumes from the
library. The titles of the books were personified
by students and were guessed by representatives
from the Senior, Junior, and under classes.
Some of the volumes presented showed ingenuity
on the part of the one who thought of them, and
true Yankee spirit in the one guessing. When
accounts were balanced it was found that Mr.
Swett, one of the Senior representatives, had
won. His prize, “Paradise Lost,” (pair of dice
lost), will be a very suggestive souvenir. The
Seniors then took the opportunity of introducing
their new yell:
Willi-ga Walla-ga Wolla-ga Woo,
Willi-ga Walla-ga Wolla-ga Woo,
’Rah! ’Rah! Kent’s Hill,
Kent’s Hill, ’Ninety-two.

When so much is being said about souvenir
spoons, one would naturally ask where they were
first seen. The idea originated in Europe, but
to an unknown jeweler in Salem, Mass., belongs
the credit of having made the first one iu this
country. Knowing that his town and witchcraft
were closely linked together in Puritanic days,
he stamped a witch, broom, high hat, and all,
upon the handle of his spoon; and just below
the figure of the witch were three crossed pins,
the “ pins of torment.” Shortly after this a
New York jeweler got out a spoon with a little

9

statuette of Peter Stuyvesant, wooden leg and
all, upon the handle. This idea spread to other
towns and now there are over 500 different
designs sold, and new ones coming out every
week. Kent’s Hill is not without her souvenir
spoon, for Mr. McNear has made a very unique
little spoon, with Bearce Hall engraved on the
handle. Those wishing a souvenir of Kent’s
Hill will find this just the thing. See advertise­
ment for particulars.

It is quite a common occurrence for members
of our Faculty to spend vacation time in doing
special work in their departments. This summer
Miss Davis and Miss Stone attended the Martha’s
Vineyard Summer Institute, the oldest and
largest of the numerous summer schools now in
existence.
Miss Davis took not only the
advanced class work but private lessons also in
both French and German. She speaks in highest
terms of her teachers, who were from the Berlitz
School; and Miss Stone says that the professors
used just the same terms in speaking of Miss
Davis’s work.
Miss Stone took the course in
Methods. She says that she was pleasantly dis­
appointed with the work and that it was
thoroughly enjoyable and of much practical
value.
Ou leaving the summer school, Miss
Stone went directly to Fryeburg, Me., where she

were, we are glad to say, remarkably successful.

Sketch of the Adelphian Society
4

Following the plan which the Calliopean Society inaugurated
t- in the Chapel services this term, we are reading a brief sketch of

the Adelphiam Society as it appears in an old issue of The Breeze.

The Adelphian Society was organized during the winter of
1863 and a64 at a. suggestion from the preceptress, Miss Case, a
graduate of Genesee College.

The constitution was modeled after that of the Adelphian

Society of that college from which its name was also borrowed.
The charter members consisted of the college classes of

1864 and ’65 and other prominent girls of the school from the under
classes.

Previous to 1864 the girls had had no society work but a few
had been highly"honored by the Calliopeans with appointments as

editors and readers for the six public meetings of each term.

The • Adelphians immediately subscribed for some .'periodicals
and gave books towards forming a library for the society.
Some years later the Adelphian L,bra,ry was presented to the

Seminary and the Adelphian label is still often found in library
books.

Old Adelphians have always maintained great interest in the
society.
The ritual for iniations now in use was prepared fy Mrs.

Emma Huntington Nason and her son, Professor Nason.
The installation service was at the same time prepared by a
committee of the active branch.

The society song, also written by Mrs. Nason, is greatly
enjoyed by all Adelphians.

�2.VAdelphian Sketch

The society meetings were first held in the chapel in Sampson

Hall, but in later years they were allowed a room on the fourth
floor.

This room has been remodeled at different times, one of the

In 1904 the fortieth anniversary of the society, a feature of
special interest, was held in their hall.

At that time a letter

was received from Mrs. Morse, formerly Miss Case, the one who so

much assisted in the formation of the society.

Mrs. Ellen Hatch

Parker (’65$) sent for the reunion the following poem:

A Pencil Sketch

As one who climbs a mountain side
Looks back across a valley fair,
And in the gathering shadows sees
A faint light glimmer here and there,
So I look back these forty years
And midst their dim and purple gloom
I see a group of laughing girls
Close gathered in a lighted room.
A happy, merry-hearted groupl
But ’neath their jests a purpose ran.
For from the seed they sowed tn at night
Sprang up our dear Adelphian.
And other girls in other years
Have brought it added grace and power
And nurtured it with careful tears,
Till now behold! Its perfect flower.

And they who drowned the tiny seed
And they who’ve watched it bud end bloom,
Rejoice together in its strength
Alike enjoy its sweet perfume.
But only in a fairer day
And in a long futurity,
Can we, with prophet’s pen, foretell
What its full rinened fruit shall be.

POLARIS ’89
KENTS HILL SCHOOL

Mr. Stephen
Gilpatrick
We, the 1989 graduating class of Kents Hill
School, dedicate this year’s Polaris, the school
yearbook, to Mr. Stephen Gilpatrick.
Mr. Gilpatrlck’s challenges to his students in the
classroom and to his football athletes on the field
instill a desire for success, the incentive to test
ourselves, and Irascible encouragement when we
slip. He shows us that following the road of con­
formity leads nowhere and that the path of sincere
individuality is treacherous. Mr. Gilpatrick has
taught us the importance of evaluating and judging
on our own. Our school community would not be
the same without him. For this and so much more,
we thank you.

DEDICATION

�n

Mrs. Audrey Luce
After twenty-five years of service to Kents Hill students and staff in her
role as school nurse Mrs. Audrey Luce is retiring. She will be missed. Her
wise and alternating heavy hand of reproof and tender words of solace or
understanding have helped so many students through the years. Be it the
long winters with their interminable colds, athletic injuries — either imag­
ined or real, or just words of encouragement to the down-in-the-doldrums
teenager. Mrs. Luce was there. Yes, she will be most remembered for her
ceaseless effort — never too tired to help out, whether it be tending to one
more flu-stricken student, another late-night return to campus, or a trip to
the doctor in town she helped us learn that in giving of oneself the individual
discovers the essence of life — our lives become meaningful as we help
others. We thank you and wish you the best.

he 1988 Varsity Men’s Soccer squad was one that
attained much deserved success both on and off the
field. Our fall started with the traditional pre-season
training week. We had some very solid returning players,
most notably our captains, Tim Lynch and Greg Abrams.
Both of these players were voted MAISAD All Stars. Other
returning players Included Erik Bolster, who made a suc­
cessful switch from mid-field to goal, Bob Brogan, Eric Plote,
and Matt Crane.
Our season started with a hlgh-lntenslty game versus
Bridgton, a traditional disappointment. With a great deal of
team building behind us, we went on to tie Bridgton, a first for
Kents Hill. As the season ended, Incidentally, that game came
to be Bridgton’s only no-wlnl Riding high and and over­
confident because of this tie, the squaawas handed two
straight losses. Both of these losses would be avenged, how­
ever, Other highlights of the season Included a win over St.
Doms, a team that ended up on top of their division. We were
able to slaughter CMVTI twice and managed three wins over
Hebron as well. Our problems this season were spelled G-O- Coach Horton. Coach McKinney. Greg Abrama (MVP), Erik Bolster (W
U-L-D. We spilt during the season and ultimately met them In Eric Plote (MIP)
the finals of the MAISAD tourney. The tournament was held
i
at Berwick and contained two great games. The first was our
second win over Hebron, in a tight 1-0 game filled with some
of the best soccer of the season. Our win advanced us to the
finals where we met Gould. The game did not go well, with
Gould quickly scoring two goals. We fought back In the sec­
ond half, but were able to produce only one goal. And so our
season ended, second place MAISAD and a respectable 9-5-1
record.
Compared to the season before, this team had Improved
1000%. We were a unit, with a super diamond-back setup
and some rocket feet up front. We saw magnificent goals from
Greg Abrams, Hasan Durham, and the Lee brothers. We had
solid mid-field passing from DJ. Pete, Eric and the rest of the
middies. We had Intense defense from Tim, Stef, Brian, and
Chris Meehan. If anyone asks who had the best fall, it had to
be Coaches McKinney and Horton. They got to take in every
beautiful pass, play, and goal. Congratulations guysl

1") reseason found us here at Kents Hill School
four days before the start of school for early
morning runs, two practices a day and a lot
of fun. Our theme of “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”
eased some of the sore muscles and added to our
craziness.
What a list of characters we had this year! Our
captains, Angela and Abby, provided excellent
leadership and were Impeccable role models.
Their play on the field Inspired all of us, coaches
and players. Angela earned the nickname "The
Wall” because of her awesome defensive abil­
ities. Abby livened up the field with her array of
tie-dyed shirts, bandanas and lightning speed.
This duo of "Prep” and "Dead-Head” — what a
combination!
We ended the season with a 3-5-3 record.
Coach Cheeseman and 1 were thrilled with your
effort, desire and willingness to play hard.
Thanks for a great season!

�J.V.A. Soccer
he Junior Varsity "A" soccer team had an outstanding
soccer season during the fall of 1988. The team tallied
a 6-2-2 record which broke down in the following
manner: Hebron Academy (1-1). Gould Academy (1-0-1), The
Hyde School (2-0). Berwick Academy (1-0-1), Carabassett
Valley Academy (1-1). The highlight of the season occurred
Parents’ Weekend with a definitive victory over Berwick.
The key to the team's success was the stalwart defense.
Dylan Daniels was the goal keeper. Steve Pease, Steve El­
liott, Rob Boisvert, Dominic Ingram, Chris Gresham, and
Brian Wilson shared the fullback positions. In front of them
in the midfield, Doug Owen, Tom Garvey, Derek Holmes,
Mike and Geoff Howe provided defensive support for the
fullbacks while adding to the offensive punch in the op­
ponents’ zone. The offense was spearheaded by Mark
Lundin, Aaron Smith, Jay lovino, and Lance Marble.

T“X ue to some good snowmaking weather, skiing on the hill
1 J commenced after students returned from Thanksgiving
break. The alpine team was committed to helping our fledg­
ling cross country team field a complete team this year so
practice in early season centered on the basics of cross coun­
try skating technique. By December, the team was also prac­
ticing regularly their alpine skiing skills.
The team early on concentrated on working on the sound
fundamentals of skiing. A lot of time went into practicing the
basics. This solid preparation paid off for the team with good
performances throughout the year which culminated at the
State Championships. The State Slalom Championship was
won by Kents Hill in Class B, and we finished a close third in
the Giant Slalom, making our team the best overall alpine
team in our class.
Individual honors were won by team co-captaln Erik Bol­
ster by finishing second overall in the season-long MAISAD
racing done this year. Abby Brown was seventh for the year
in MAISAD competition. Stefan Taroll did a great job as team
manager. The team coaches Mrs. Howe and Mr. Mitchell
worked hard for the team all year and both feel that next year
Kents Hill should have another championship team.

played to win in every contest. It was a season

game. This was very frustrating for every­

learned, perhaps more than a winning sea­

did create the environment in which the
best and worst of each personality surfaces.
Hopefully the season will not be viewed as a
negative experience but one from which
personal growth will occur for each player.

�he Kents Hill JV Basketball team had a highly ■■■■
successful 1988-89 season, finishing with an 8-4 ____
record. However, the numbers do not tell the
'
i
whole story of this hard working bunch. Half the team
that began the season was not around for the finish.
There were additions along the way that proved in- Bf-’ j
valuable. Mike Henschen’s steals. Brad Schloss'
clutch shooting, Ono Brandi’s shot blocking, and Hec­
tor Quiles' hustle and determination. They complemented several
individuals who played the entire season. Doug Owen and Aaron
Wah, two guards who played tenacious defense and provided an
offensive spark; Bill Reiss, the best penetrating guard we had.
was given the awesome task of running our highly technical
offense; Barney Palmer and Dominic Ingram, two players who
always gave their best and worked their butts off.
Ken Silk emerged as the MVP of this team, contributing points
on the court and helping me on the bench. Shizel Rose was also
invaluable as both an assistant and occasionally interim coach.
Some Highlights From the Season
The heartbreaking loss to Gould to open the season . . . Aveng­
ing a home loss to Hebron with an overtime win at their building
. . . Beating Berwick and Oak Grove-Coburn twice each ... Coach

Most Improved Player getting a great goal
against rival Waynflete. Other season high­
lights included on OT victory over Hyde at
season’s end with a dramatic game winning
goal by Pete Nelson as the clock ran out. Late
season victories over Waynflete and Gould re­
venged early season losses, while hot weather
wilted the team’s hopes at the J.V. tourna­

TIT 1th no returning lettermen from last
W Year- the Varsity Tennis team began
the season uncertain of its potential. Coach
DeHaven, despite normal Maine weather in
April, managed to get the team ready for an
opening victory against Hyde. After that, the
Huskies lost six close matches, before con­
cluding with a victory over Waynflete. This
year’s team was decidedly international.
Aaron Wah, of Los Angeles, via Hong Kong,
played number one singles; number two
was German exchange student Oliver En­
dlicher, while the number three slot was
filled by Ernesto Bredee of Mexico. Alex Car­
reno of Venezuela played on the number one
doubles team. The only player not returning
next year will be Oliver Endlicher; therefore
the prospects for the future look good.

TTZ e had a large team this
VV year and consistently
placed in all events in our meets.
We set six new school records.
Captains Johnny Byrd and Daryl
Thompson led the squad to a suc­
cessful season.
Aaron, Hasan, Dominic and
Challis headed up the jumping
team. Aaron ended up the
MAISAD champion in the triple
jump with Hasan placing second.
Encouraging enough, our team
was stocked with freshmen. Car­
oline was the only female member
of the team and did a fine job run­
ning the mile. Jamie Talbot, who
placed fifth in the shot at
MAISADS, Mike and Geoff Howe
and Graham Paine made up the
bulk of our throwing team. Other
throwers included Lance Marble
who broke his old discus record.
Rob Boisvert and Scott Christie
conquered the javelin. Rob placed
third in the MAISADS and
squashed the previous school rec­
ord by twenty feet. Thanks to all
of you for a fun season.

Dear Class of 1989:

As you engaged in the final walk from Commencement to a new adventure, I was
reminded of how very many people share in the glory that was yours on June 4, 1989.
Your list may Include others, but for the moment let us limit the group to parents,
faculty, friends and former graduates. Those with direct contact were Intimately en­
twined In our lives. They offered praise. They provided counsel. They were available In
moments of stress. Your success was their thanks for the partnership.
Too often, however, we overlook the generations that pass before our time. It was they
who built traditions, established standards, and provided the legacy for future gen­
erations. Although not physically present, I am sure they do share in your glory. And it Is
to them that I believe you now have an irrevocable allegiance.
As graduates, you must continue to reach for new goals. You must use the tools you
have been given to create a better place for others. You must not excuse away the
opportunity to serve. I wish you well on your Journey. I expect to hear good things from
each of you.
Sincerely,

Donald M.(Jacobs
Headmaster

ROBERT V. BROGAN, JR.

I certainly will never forget these past two years at Kents
Hill; especially my friends and teachers who have made it
such a memorable experience. I'd like to mention a few of
those people who deserve more than Just a simple
"goodbye.”

To be anything but yourself in a world
which is trying its hardest night and day to
make that which you are not, is to fight the
hardest fight of all.
e. e. cummings

Rob B. — "Heat Miser," Schnark, Tom Brokaw is GOD,
Our little adventure in Augusta. REM in Portland. Late
night TV parties!! Keep in touch.

Greg — More input, news with Tom, everlasting sneakers,
the taxi driver, marshmallow &amp; guppy, U3. you’ve been a
good friend — someday we’ll go pro.
Nigel — Skinny’s class, my war. werewolf cuts. Howdy
Doody Dance, Ah. she’s so hot, uppercut, Nigel — hope to
see you in the future. Keep in touch.
Jeff W. — Schnark. F-19 missions, late night war stories.
Bob’s caravan. I know you have a Nutter Bar, your Mom
told me so. — Good luck at B.U.
Chandler — You’ve worn out your welcome, never ending
signs, but we go back. Punch for punch in the bathroom,
someday I'll send you a new brush, maybe then you’ll stop
using mine.
Birdmaster — The Lover. Good luck in college.
Elliott — The McDonaldland muncher, you wanna get
bad. It was a fun weekend, although I lost my shoe. Good
luck at Keene.
Carp — I know it’s your house and all, I need a min. to
defrost first. Keep Jammin’.
Blake — It seems like a long year. I know you’ll find your
right atmosphere and right people. You have been a good
friend. Good luck to you.
Alyssa — One more year, you can do it.
Dominic — Someday you’ll stop leaving things in my
room!
Later to all the Bermudians on the 4th floor — Save Don.
Darkside — What happened to your roommate? Girls are
like polar bears.
Pete — It’s been long: I'm glad it’s over. Have fun and hope
to see you again.
Bucket and Manning — You guys are swell. My time is up.
I would like to thank all the teachers and everyone at
Kents Hill for their support. Thank you Mom and Dad and
my brothers for helping me get through. To all my friends,
good luck and be happy.

Nigel — ’Mold," Oodles of Noodles parties, what will we do
in Skinny’s class today? Even though your musical tastes
may be somewhat strange, you're still a great guy; may
you never feel the need to conform. Give me a call some­
time.
Elliott — the FACTS and only the FACTS, epileptic fits on
the floor, third period — time for a nap. may the fruit of
life never wither in your hands ... British lives!!!

To my family — Mom. Dad, Bob. Lynn. Scott, Chris, Ben,
Laura and Michelle. 1 cannot thank you enough.
Thanks also to — Mrs. Hansen, Mrs. DeHaven, Mrs. Mc­
Cauley, Mr. Crane and anybody else whom I forgot to
mention.

What a waste to lose one’s mind — or not to have a mind.
How true that is.
Vice President of the United States. Dan Quayle

�PETER J. NELSON
Esko — Staying up late, mud fights, wrestling matches,

Gettin’ locked in the closet. "Don’t ... stop" — the
brutha’s, 11/8 what a mistake, "gettin’ twisted brutha"
— Sedrec — sneakin’ out at night, "whoa Nelly!!", "Alla"
— My cousin’s house and the graveyard — tree skiing at
Sugarloaf and so many other things that made the time go
by, like the Suisse Chalet and Rodney, "sign for us Rod­
ney." I never could have made it without you Esko.

know who you are. Thanx to my family that gave me the
support 1 needed most — 1 love you Mom, David, Andrew,

Sue — Thanx for being there when 1 needed you — "stay
positive."
Chris — Thanx for all the memories — Best wishes for
you in the future — Keep your head up — I love you.
Kents Hill — See ya in the funny pages.
Loneliness eats the soul,
Nothing lasts, sometimes hearts get lost.
Beaten down by boredom, or helplessness.
So sometimes you have to say "what the .,."
— and sometimes in towns such as this
Hearts Just go hard and cold and the
Only way not to lose it is use it —
Never look back, never look down — dream on.
Great White

— Be yourself, no one can ever tell you you’re doing It wrong.
— You only understand how important and special something or someone
can be when It's gone.
1 may get around ... 1 may laugh a lot
Now you’d think that I’d be happy with the life 1 got .. .
Nobody knows ... nobody sees
Ain’t nobody really knows the Inner side of me ...
1 may seem secure ... I could have it made ...
You might think you see a lucky man who made the grade .. .
Nobody knows what dreams I see ...
Ain’t nobody really sure Just who they wanna be .. .
But everybody has a place and time ...
A chance to live ... A need to find ...
We all have something that we care about... I propose you find it out

It’s not a book ... or a magazine .. .
Or the stars who guide our fortunes on the silver screen ...
Nobody knows .. . It’s up to me . . .
Ain’t nobody who can say it like It ought to be ...
1 see my future at the rainbow’s end ...
happy hours ... timeless friends ...
and If 1 ever change to find my way ...
rest assured ... I will stay ...
You may see your life as a compromise ...
You may live to find the paradise dancin’ in your eyes ...
Nobody knows . .. It’s meant to be ...
Let the magic of the moment say it all to me.
Mom &amp; Dad. I owe you the world. When everything seemed to be going
downhill for me you came in and gave me a second chance. I hope I proved to
you both that I will be successful in the future. I LOVE YOU BOTH.

Farewell Kents Hill School, on to Europe.

In four years at Kents Hill 1 have grown from an invalid
(both physical and mental) into somebody who I feel is
ready to move out and face the world.
Kents Hill: This is all your fault, but I don’t blame
you. It had to happen sometime.
Before I write any further I would like to

thank you for the time we’ve spent

year. Halloween weekend . . . "You want to check out my
room??" What a surprise! Six months later I’m writing to you.
about to say good bye. We had some awesome times together:
Portland, what a "blast." late night Jacobs, both walking and
once I believe you were crawling. Spring Break! How was the
bus ride? I hope it was worthwhile. Too bad that our time
together has to end soon, but we'll make it. You don't believe
that I'll see you again. That's cool! I'll Just prove you wrong.
When I do see you again, remember “to love the one you're
with." I hope you make it at UMO. I know you will. Say hl to
your Mom for me. she's a cool lady! I love you Tam. Don’t
forget it. Later. "Trip Face.”
Nat: Nitty Gritty, what would I have done without you for 3
years? The only thing I really want to remember out of my first
2 years that has much importance is the "Lodge.” Whew! . . .
What a bash.
Senior year: "2-16”, "you got the 'T.P.,' for the
ferns?" "1C round stlc". "you got the point" and
"U.S.A."
Hey Nat. you can't beat winter term schedule. Yeah . . . OK

time in Calif. Tom. I'll see ya next year when we take a
weekend.
Ono, Mtke and Ted: 3 years, get me out of here. Too bad we
stayed in Jacobs and you went to Sampson, it would have
been incredible. Don't forget the hut our 3rd year. It was the
one! You guys helped me through, thanks. Keep in touch.
Alt and Atmee: We had good times and bad times. All. the four
of us our Junior year in the spring were great. Aimee. you'll
probably marry Hench. Watch those worms on rainy nights
from Den to the smoker!! Don't forget that weekend with me

Shana: You are the best. Your suspension was only a tem­
porary set back. We'll hang in college. I love you. (Bubble)

you can. Don't get frustrated and kill anyone. Just hang one
and kick back!! Later.

you've done for me. 1 hope you enjoy yourself when you leave
K.H. Thanks again.

along with. Have a good time. Bumtl!

JAMES M. LEBLANC
4 years on the Hill:
First year — Lived in Wesleyan, had a great time with
my first roommate, John Segal, also known as Bubbles.
Met up with Derek H., Shawn R., Jeff K., and Jeff Pearlstein; what a fool! I can’t forget Steve E. That was the best
year on the Hill.
Second Year — Lived in Jacobs. Had Chris Phelan as a
roommate. Got into a lot of trouble with Mr. Rost. He loved
to kick in our door. Had a rabbit until Mr. Kilgore found it.
Big Hole in the wall, but it was a good year.
Third year — the worst; had a lot of pleasure and hated
life. Started to go out with girls. Tried my hand at skiing;
loved it. Got my heart broken, but loved that too!
Fourth year and last — What a great year. I turned into
a Jock. Soccer, ski patrol, and Lax. I broke new records in
dating the same girl 12 times! Tried to get good grades.
Now to say goodbye:
Derek Holmes: Take care pal. Thanks for being a good
friend and good luck. We had the best 4 years together.
Thanks for making the years fly!
Jay I. — Later Bud! Good luck! Take care! Remember the
ski weekend. How did we make it to N.H. with two Dyslexics in the front seat? Keep in touch.
Steve E. — Take care, good luck in the future. Thanks for
everything.
Jull S.: Next year it’s your turn. Thanks for all the talks
we had and for being there. I will miss you.
Kelli Sue Corrtgan: Well. I guess this is goodbye. Twelve
times, what a record! Hey, take care, I love you more than
you will know! Remember 1 will see you in 4 years. Guess
what; don’t be afraid to grow up, OK. and I hope that you
find someone who will treat you the way I did! Take care
and good luck. You will be deeply missed. I knew that we
would be together ever since 1 first saw you. I hope to win
the bet.
To everyone else, good luck; see you all somewhere in
time!
Mrs. Dunn: Thanks for everything; I will miss you pushing
me. Thanks.
Ms. Shuster: Mom. I will miss the talks and back rubs.
Thanks for everything.
and last...
Thank you Mom and Dad for putting up with all my stuff
for 4 years and for giving me a chance to live away and for
believing in me. I love you both.

Kents Hill.
It is hard to think that these two years have gone by
already. 87-88 was a hell of a year at the hill, but somehow
I made it without buggin’ out. Year 2 on the hill was a
blast, crazy times and crazy people made my year great,
my wacko room-code name: The game room. World games
12-3? Spookism is how you won Dill, want a cookie? White
boy’s disease? Only Chuck would know that, when Chuck
lifts weights don't walk up the stairs — remember? Desert
Pond is hell part II during the spring. Brad — you are one
crazy person to talk to. want a gun? Hey Nick E.. what are
you doing?, kill the mouse yet? Hummm! Ed B.. you're
such a man. want to get bad? Nick Josem — Good picking
next year. Burso — nice laugh, chill out and don't talk so
loud, you talk too much. Talbot, lose some weight and get a
real life. Don P., did someone really shoot you with a
shotgun? Nice 5.00 model there Don. I still want my lures
Don!! Aaron (Rambo) — Soda. OJ and what else? I think
it's Ralph not Rambo! Keep up the lifting little man and
you will be one mean person someday, don’t ever go back
to Desert Pond with your bike, Aaron it’s 1:15. back at
5:15, you're one wild guy.
To all my teachers that I had during the two years I was
here, thank you. Mr. Kilgore — You should be a me­
teorologist for Channel 8. a day of bad fishing is better
than a day of no fishing at all. Phil M. — Nice pink shirt.
Take care and the food was not that bad my two years
here. Lloyd, thanks for bugging me these two years, 1
needed it!!
Finally, thanks Mom and Dad. This place helped me out
a lot.
KENTS HILL.
See ya!!

ERIC NESLER PLOTE

Summing up my two years at K.H. —
Persistence
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will
not: nothing Is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not: unrewarded genius Is almost a proverb. Education
will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and
determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan, "press on" has
solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge
Bolster — "Study Sklller" 2 great years. Don't forget all the good
times, especially: graveyard golf. Grateful Dead roof dancing. Baja
Jetta. Golf naked, outdoor bathroom "the bucket" balcony diving.

hit me. do It." "Get away I can make the pizza." Sugarloaf —
“Don't worry about me 1 have to use the bathroom, you can use the
shower." Greyline bus. Let's hitchhike. The first day. not too good,
but good: I don't know about you. but we're going to Augusta. "Flag
them down."
Slade — the No. 1 stud I'll ever meet. Gotta Chev?. come on Slade
you know you want to smoke. How's Melanie. I mean Claudine. I
mean Sarah? Hl Shana "fine you D.B."

TODD SLADE
Brad G. — It’s on top of the punching bag: that smell Is
wax: my batting average was better, that’s why I hit third.
I had a great time In Atlanta. But Deston Is going to be
great. You’ll never run out of mouse. The first year was
easier after talking to you. You were right about Melanie.
Watch out ODU. You don't have your bus license. Cat
back.
Chris G. — Are you going down again tonight? Let's have
a chew. Having you as a roommate was interesting. You
better come down to Florida. You better call me this sum­
mer and let me come out to Nantucket. You’ll give me free
gas. Let’s go to the fort. I knew you’d have a good time in
Russia.
Mike D. — Scratch, Rub, Scratch, can’t wait to have
crawfish this summer. We should have spent more time at
the fort. Sure, sure, sure BKJV2. Let's go lift. How many
classes did you miss today. Hope you don’t have too many
Ithaca itches next year.
Ruth S. — It was fun until you left. You lost the bet.
Brad S. — Watch *58 on the game films and you'll know
all. How are the stars? It’s your turn to buy chew. Keep
lifting.
Plote — Have a dip: nice flat top. Add more Hawaiian
Punch. We better go to Nantucket. Keep in touch.
Beth G. — You were a great girl when you didn’t have the
attitude.
Dave R. — We better take some more train trips. How’s
Kim? Don’t worry, you take my bed. I’ll hit the floor. The
goal is to stay In the bed, not fall, it hurts falling.
Daryl T. — You were a great roommate until the alarm
went off. How’s the computer and Roby the Robot?
Sarah — 1’11 never forget you. Sorry for the beginning of
our senior year, bus trip, back yard. I hope I see you this
summer. Love you always.
Ang — It could have worked. Pick the skin from under
your nails. What size helmet do you wear? Green always
looks good on you. I wish we were as close as the first year,
but friends get In the way (just Joking). Yes, you did make a
good choice.
Shana — It’ll never last over the summer. You’ll get a
copy of the tape this summer.
Clampa — Nice trip. I want that water well. Tell Jackie
that I want to meet her.
Tara — Don’t worry, you're better than Shana.
Bernie — Get the Bible, it tells all. Where’s my $20?
Afrs. B. — Gulp.

STEPHEN ELLIOTT
4 long years on top of the hill. Kents Hill School: has some good
points AND some bad points. But not that bad over all. I have met a
lot of people over the years: strange, crazy, Just plain different. The
worst, rooming with Marc Wien my first year in Wesleyan.
To some of the people this year — Derek. Jim. Jay, Nick, the
weekend at Attltash, definitely crazy.
J.I. — Nice freaky body, thanks for all the help over the years. I
couldn’t have made it without you. Have a great time at college.
J.L. — I can’t believe you're going out with Kelly again; you’re
crazy, finally graduating from the hill, 4 long years together,
remember Pee wee, and Bubbles, the old crew, we Wesleyanites
reunited.
D. H. — You’re lucky Shawn never came back. I’m sure you’re
glad. Your life. 1 bet. would have been different. We have been
through a lot together, a lot of good times. Have a great life.
N.E. — Hope you do well at U.R. — you’ve got a sick mind. A lot of
good times.
E. B.. B.W.. O.E.. — Thanks for the great weekend at Sugarloaf,
especially the hotel room. “Yea. let's to C.V.A." Are those guys
really from Germany? “Hey guys, I had a little up chuck"
Perly — You’re a great basketball player. Is that the fonz?
G.V. — you nerd. Just kidding, sorry about what happened last
year. Sorry about killing British Airways. 1 thought he wanted to go
to class. You're a great friend, I know you will do great in college.
Have a great summer. Maybe I’ll see you in D.C.
B. B. — You got the best walk. Most original. We had some good
times. Hope you enjoy your bike, be careful. Enjoy college.
N.S. — You listen to crazy music, but that’s ok.
C. D. — This place Is a little different from the old hill. Good times
in your room, late night.
Liz M. — Who know what happened on the bus. I don't care
anymore. Have a nice life.
D. S. — Pee Wee Herman, "let's play lunch"
Kelsey — You've got a great sense of humor, stop putting banana
peels on the floor. Have a great senior year.
To all my teachers over the years, thanks for all you have done
for me.
Mr. Hansen — Very weird teaching style.
Mr. DeHaven — 1 learned the most from you. Thanks a lot.
Mr. Mitchell — You’re a great guy. with a temper. Ski coach for 2
years, ended up with slalom champs, not bad. A lot of good times.
Have a good life — your friend. Steve Elliott.
Mr. McKinney — Your class for two years. I understand your style
of teaching. Not specifics, but wholes — more or less B.S.
Mr. Horton — I didn't learn too much In computer class, but you're
a great guy though.
Finally. Mr. Kilgore — Never got a deer but heard bears and deer. 1
heard them while 1 was still In the car. Great times I'll never forget
with you. Sorry I couldn't spend more time with you my senior
year. Maybe I'll see you some time.
Thanks Mom for everything. 1 would have never done it
without you. AU those trips following someone else's idea of
the correct way? Love you. your Son.
My philosophy to life Is: things are good or bad. What’s in
between you should stay away from. But. most Importantly
you should always have fun while you’re doing it.
A real Patriot Is the fellow who gets a parking ticket and
rejoices that the system works.

Once in awhile you can get your delight,
In the strangest of places If you look at it right.
Farethewell now. let your life proceed by Its own desire.
Let the words be yours, I am done with mine.
Gone are the days we stopped to decide
Where we should go, we Just ride
Gone are the broken eyes we saw through in dreams
Gone, both dream and lie.
Recall the days that still are to come
Some sing blue.

No one noticed, but the band’s all packed and gone
Was it ever here at all.

CHRISTOPHER N. ANNAND
Southern girls are good.
Southern women are better,
Kents Hill stinks.
Northern women aren’t any better.
Daryl T. — We Southern boys are out of place In Yankee
land, but we made It through untarnished by these
unmannered heathens. Good luck in college and In the
future beyond college.
Todd — I wonder how long you will last down South
without killing Biff. I hope that you make the baseball
team at ODU and have better luck with the girls down
south than the girls at Kents Hill.
Biff — You are without a doubt the neatest person 1 have
ever met. I hope that you and Todd last more than three
weeks as roommates, but I doubt y’all can.
Champ — I hope that you don't get lonely with all those
boys without Shana. Kick butt In football.
Plote — I hope that you will find some nice southern girl to
settle down with and leave all those northern women
alone. They’re bad news.
Dave — Don’t party too much at Elon.

No pearly gates, no thorny crown
You’re always letting us humans down
The wars you bring, the babies you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
It’s all the same the whole world round
The hurt 1 see helps to compound
That Father. Son &amp; Holy Ghost
Is Just somebody’s unholy hoax
And If you're up there you’d perceive
That my heart’s here upon my sleeve
If there’s one thing I don't believe In
It’s you
Dear God

Sometimes wc live no particular way but our own
And sometimes we visit our country’ and live In
your home
Sometimes we ride on your horses
Sometimes we walk alone
Sometimes the songs that we hear arc Just
songs of our own.

Let’s dance in style, let’s dance for awhile.
Heaven can wait. We’re only watching the skies.

Are you going to drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever.
We don’t have tne power.
But we never say never.

RANDY J. CHAPDELAINE
I often ask myself, "Why am I putting myself through this
educational B.S.?” When 1 start to think like that I remind
myself of the words that a wise toll booth worker on the
Mass. Pike once said to me. “As you may have noticed, 1
have no chin. One day 1 decided to grow a beard to give me
the illusion of having a chin, but. it didn't work. It Just
looked like a I had a hairy lip.” That's not what keeps me
going, but It Is a good story. The thing that really keeps me
going are the people who love me and are close to me
(Mom. Grandparents, my family and Keith &amp; his family).
Thank you and I love you.
Hey look, I'm finally here.

Yes there are two paths you can go by but in the long run
There’s still time to change the road you're on.

— Led Zeppelin
I'm grateful to Kents Hill for helping me change The Road 1 was on. Il
was a long year, but without It who knows where I'd be? I finally
proved to myself that a little hard work could get me places. This guy
Is ready for college. Dartmouth? Stay tuned It could be Interesting.
The Athletic Memories:
Soccer '88 — butt traps, cycle’, so pro. slcko saves, so Euro, mud
slides. Bridgton game. Gould game. Hebron blizzard and OT. So
close but yet . ..
Skiing — Yea JV! Mitch must not want any "Petes" on Varsity, right
Davis and Nelson? Either the most gratifying or the most frus­
trating sport I've come across.
Baseball ’89 — Whoever wants to know the heart and mind ol
America had better learn baseball.
— Jaques
The first team I’ve been on that practices in snow storms. We could
have used you. Matty. Posts 205 forever! A great team, glad 1 was
a part of It.
I enjoy being the pitcher. A lot of eyes are on you at that time, and
you’ve got to perform. It’s not like any other game. This Is the only
team where tney can single out a guy that could have cost you the
game, and It’s usually the guy with the ball In his hand.
— Roger "Rocket Man" Clemens
Thanks to the kids I’ve met and have made me laugh:
Daryl — Horton dodging. James Bond Style. You cross country ski
guru. Good luck In college, we ll meet again.
Jason — Keep up on The NAPA Brake Clinics. Hang in there, psycho.
DJ — The day student duo. "Have a nice weekend, boarders.’
Plote and Ciampa — Sure. I’ll go to the store. See you guys In Mass,
sometime.
Richman — Fellow Maine resident, not "Mainer."
Steph — "You know I’ve changed this year." Have fun out West,
"dude."
Lynch — "The car? No. not the car." Good luck with soccer and your
senior year.

Alicia — The Calculus goddess. Keep hitting those tennis balls and
keep In touch. I'm interested in how you like college.
Ruth, of course — You’ve helped me learn a lot about life and myself
Thank you for the times we spent together. Keep in touch. "Two
worlds collided ..
My baseball buddles — Dave Ryan. Slade. Ciampa. Brad. Eric, whit­
tier. Bernie, and Matty.
Also: Bryan McConnaughcy. Bolster. Dowling, Gresham. Jeff Thomp­
son. Elliott. lovlno. Brogan. Vanessa. Shana. The KH Connection
"Staff.”
And the Juniors who have to endure one more year on "The Hill
Matty. Meehan. Brian Wilson. Tim Lynch. Bret Chernik. Schloss.
Dabney and Perlsteln.
Chamonix ’89 — Cruzln.’ Boozln.’ and Snoozin’ on Chamonix! (some skiing,
too.) Audabon. Mississippi Mud. Warren Miller Cliff Jumping with Meehan.
I would also like to thank the unique faculty and my teachers:
Mr. DeHaven — for sparking new interest and showing me what
responsibility is all about. Good luck with next year’s class and
newspaper.
Mr. McKinney — The teacher and coach. I’ve learned a lol. Thanks.
Ms. Howe — This type "A" personality must get 105.
Mr. Gilpatrick — A love-hate relationship with your class, but after
five years of High School I finally feel some confidence In my

�CHRISTOPHER M.
GEMINSKI
Kents Hill was certainly a different experience as far as life Is concerned:
there were many differences from public school. New rules, new people, a new
home ... it all took some time to get used to. In that time though. 1 made some
friends whom I will always remember. Some I may see again and I hope our
friendships will continue. Others, because of barriers of land or sea I might
not. But how lucky I am to have known so many to whom saying goodbye to is
so hard.
Shlzel Rose, ours has been a special friendship. I will never forget the
memories we had here at Kents Hill both on and off the basketball court. On
the court, you are an all-star. The moves you made and that vertical leap ...
sometimes I would Just stand back and watch the show. You left me in awe. as
well as our opponents, many times: next year should be even better for you.
I’m Just sad that I won’t be playing with you. 1'11 be up for a game or two
though, that's a definite. You've got to do some serious work this summer at
Five-Star; those college coaches will be all over, watching every move you
make. And, when you're playing In the big games, making the big lays. I'm
going to be proud as can be to say I played on the same team as you. Always
remember our basketball season at KH. we won some and we lost some, but
more Importantly we had fun. Off the court, you were my best friend. You
were someone whom I could talk to about anything. We had some fun times
Just rapping out In the Union during lunch or dinner, and while In the library
keeping up on the Knicks. (Go Mark Jacksonl) One day we'U have to go see a
game together. Shlzel. you've been a great friend and helped me out In many
ways. If you ever need a hand you know the number and address, don't
hesitate to keep In touch anywhere, any time.
Steve Pease, you Mainer. You are Invited down to my house anytime you can
make It. 1 want to see you play some "street ball" with my friends and me. We
had some great memories and fun times around campus and on the court.
Always keep those memories and keep up the basketball. Don't forget to stay
In touch.
Brad Gamer and Bernie Meader, hey 1 enjoyed playing ball with you guys.
We wouldn't have been much of a team without the both of you.
Brad, we had some fun In Mitch's class huh? By the way what Is the density
of ten bushels of apples If ...
Daryl and Jeff Thompson, let's get together to do some hunting sometime In
the future.
Hey. you guys from Bermuda. 1'11 make It down there one day. Thanks for
being great friends, we had some fun times together. Good luck In college next
year and keep In touch.
John Kilpatrick, we've got to do some hunting together someday too. Maybe
we'U go after quail or grouse. Hanging out with the Bermudians during lunch
was fun, we had some great laughs, most of the time at Michelle and Challis'
expense. Keep watching the Hornets. In a few years they will be right up there
with the best teams in the NBA.
Erik Richman. I wish you all the best of luck In your aspirations to fly In the
Air Force. It has always been a dream of mine as well. Only the best make It,
so push yourself to the limit. When you do make It. I want to ride, ten bucks
says you won't get me slckl
Mike Hirst, someday you'll get a ride on my iceboat, then you'll see the most
awesome style of sailing In the world. You've got to teach me how to windsurf
if I ever make It to Tortolla.
Caroline Gray, thanks for being a special friend during cross-country sea­
son. keep on running and you will only Improve.
Mr. Joy. hey guy you're stokedl Thanks for being a great coach. 1 learned
more about myself while 1 was striding through the woods than I have while
participating in any other sport.
Nick Eskesen and Chuck Preble, thanks for teaching me how to ski. That
first day I was so sore!
Geoff and Mike Howe. I look forward to doing some fishing with you
sometime in the future. You'll have to show me your secret spots where the
big lunkers hang out

KENNETH J. SILK
Kelsey — Every time we were together we never had a boring
time. The first time we met. making P&amp;B sandwiches, walking
back to Davis. You and I are like the same, we are never afraid
of having fun even if we are In bad moods.
Derek — You are a true friend. Thanks for letting me hang
In your room when I was not getting along with my loser
roommate. We had great times, LA Law, Wonder Years. Night­
ingales. Madonna, Samantha Fox and the VCR. Thanks for
keeping my stomach full. You and I really did get a lot of work
done during study hall.
Tammy — Thanks for helping me out In the first week of
school. Remember the trip to Orono? What about the ride back
to school with the two bums? How about the time we were
coming home from Boston? Me stumbling around on the bus.
Thanks for being there when I needed you! I need silver
dollars!
Maud — You are the greatest teacher I ever had. If all the
teachers I had were like you, school would be worth going to.
Maud, you are a special friend, a friend I could trust and relate
to. I wish there were more people like you.
Jay — You were always quiet, but fun to hang out with. You
got to stop being shy and start to come out of your shell. Jay,
you will always smell. To me you are my closest friend. You
would listen to me and not say anything because I would beat
the crap out of you if you Interrupted me.
Heather — I wish you were here at the beginning of the school
year. Every day I learned something new about you and we
had so much fun together. The first time I met you Is when you
had that fight with Kelsey. I thought you were a shy girl, but I
had the wrong Idea. Thanks for calling me and I had a fun bus
ride home with you.
Don — Damn! Those Friday and Saturday nights were boring.
Did you receive a package yet? Slim ana his light show. See
you In the Cape. Keep out of trouble LOSER1
Tim — We were close until I moved. We had some happening
times. We also had some great memories in that room; biting
my fingernails, smelling those fresh socks of yours, playing
gin ana helping me with my Pre-Cal.
Steve — You are a spaz and a psycho. There Is something
about us two. We never agreed on anything. Ifvou were right I
would try to prove you wrong. 1 always enjoyed ragging on you
and having fights with you. It was always a pleasure to watch
you play basketball ana lacrosse.
Angela — We had some awesome times together. I’m glad I
met you in Mrs. Hamovlt’s class. Hiding each other’s books,
hot, warm, cold. Playing paper scissors. W-h-y d-o y-o-u t-a-l-k
1-1-k-e t-h-l-s? Scratching my back. After class we had as
much fun together. Down In Davis, breaking the window.
Hiding In your closet while Tanya was In your room. Then
getting busted by Ms. Homer. What about studying for finals?
Me and my Big Bird and reading the books A Is for Apple and
taping all of us on your tape recorder. Keep in touch. I love ya.
1 will be thinking about alt of you even the people I didn’t write
about. Please don’t be offended if I forgot your name in my
memories, but I will still be thinking about everyone I met this
past year.

Well! Mud lax. not quite clean fun. Maine, “Has only two
seasons — winter and the Fourth of July,” $Prtng comes
and the rain follows. Eat, class, sport, study, sleep. Old 1
shot straight for once. P.J.’s Rule to Life, “If you re in
control you’re not going fast enough.” Chow to all.

NIGEL C. SERBE
Wei!. I guess it’s time for a long goodbye. I’d say that my stay tn cell block
315 was alright. Sometimes things went from one extreme to the other, but. In
retrospect. It was worth It. In fact. I like It so much that 1 think I'll rob a liquor
store and have the experience of prison to build a strong and austere char­
acter. I guess that that’s one of my goals In life. That, and becoming inspector
number thirteen for Hanes underwear. However. 1 have a feeling that working
on the Inspection line for Hanes Isn't as prestigious as the advertisements on
television make It appear to be. Television, more often than not. is Just trash.
Anyways. I guess It’s time for a change In surroundings now.
Oh. and by the way. 1 didn’t include any specific memories because It would
be futile to try to recall all of ’em. Well. I hope that you all will remember, as I
will, all of the things that have happened to us during our time spent on the
rock and be glad that It all happened. I don’t know, but 1 do know that the past
few sentences have been excessively boring and corny, so 1 am going to end
this before I wear out my welcome. “I’m sorry to say. but I’m on my way. I
won’t be back for many a day. so goodbye everybody.” I’m not sure who
originally said that, but anyway ...
Nigel
P.S. There’s this one song by the Jam called "Thick As Thieves" that makes
me think of a couple of mischievous kids who w ere once best friends, but have
now grown up and gone their separate ways. It goes something like this:
Times were so tough, but not as tough as they are now
We were so close and nothing came between us and the world
No persona] situations.
Thick as thieves us. we'd stick together for all time
And we meant It. but It turned out Just for awhile
We stole the friendship that bound us together.
We stole from the schools and their libraries
We stole from the drugs that sent us to sleep
We stole from the drink that made us sick
We stole anything that we couldn't keep.
And It was enough, we didn't have to do anything
We’d always be as thick as thieves.
Like a perfect stranger you came Into my life
Then like the perfect Lone Ranger you rode away
We stole the love from girls In Ivory towers
We stole Autumn leaves and summer showers
We stole the sun and the wind that says you are free
We stole everything that we could see.
But It wasn’t enough and now we’ve gone and spoiled
everything
Now we’re no longer as thick as thieves
You came Into my life. then, like a perfect stranger you
oVVl
walked away.
Thick as thieves us. we’d stick together for all thm^
And we meant It. but turned out Just for awhI!
We stole the friendship that bound us together
We stole the burning sun In the open sky
(
We stole the twinkling stars in the black nightV
We stole the green belt fields that made us bell A
We stoic every thing that we could see.
y
But something came along and It changed our irl
Though 1 don’t know what and I don’t knowu^M
But we seemed to grow up In a flash of
While wc watched our Ideals helplessif^tf^f
And no we’re no longer as thick as thlevc^^^S
We’re not as thick as we used to be.
No it wasn’t enough
And now we’ve gone and spoiled everything
— Now we’re no longer as thick as thieves.

Well what can I say, besides it was a bad year? Honestly, 1
would have been happier somewhere else where I was
treated at least half my age, not a quarter of it. Although, I
did have fun sometimes.

it.

here again. Go to New Hampton if you still cant
Schloss — Ha, ha, another year.
Bernie — Car crashes at 6:00 pm, Sunday nite won't help
us get to school on time. Also, thanks for the movie on that
same nite.
Mrs. Bradley — Thanks for making the second half of this
year possible. Thank you.
To the Bermudians — Safe Dunn.
To all the Seniors and P.G.’s going to school or starting in
the work force — "Welcome to The Jungle."
The people were great; the school was lacking. Good bye.

To list on one half a page all the memories of my year at
Kents Hill would be impossible. Most of those memories
will fade with these yellow pages, but I shall list them here
in an effort to keep them alive. Even after the names and
faces are Just a blur, I will always have the memories of
how I felt this year and those few special people who were
part of my life for a short time and made me smile.
Elizabeth Merwin — Well "B.” don't forget to find those
"Wild Things." Snow geese, lying under chairlifts and
getting promotional videos at Sugarloaf. Going uptown
and downtown. Mud dancing in the field, leather skirts
and fun d.p. Keep smiling and learn to ski more than 10
feet at a time. Keep your skis clean and your men sweet.
Blake Klauber — We have to talk. Men have only two
faults, everything they say and everything they do. They
are the leftovers of the world, hot and cold, hot and cold.
Learn to use the ropetow and stay away from my Koala
bear. Listen to the radio. I’ll be there.
Kendra — Chuckle rules. The Smiths, Erasure, Yaz,
House Martins, New Order, Gene Love Jezabel and S.
O’Conner. Never let anyone glue their hands to your closet. Reading backwards, lipstick in a blue container and
April 26th. Watch out for snowplows that drive on ice
sidewalks and lights that stay on all night. You know me
better than anyone else I’ve ever met, even though we ve
Just met. Don’t let them get you down. Remember Ein­
stein, John Lennon and Andy V.
Max — You know me better than I know myself. Pier
Anthony, Robert Helnllen and computers to do the spell­
ing. Samona, "studying’’ and the weekly English paper.
Paolo and Francesa, bickering. "You Can’t Take it With
You," “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Fo­
rum." The only chocolate chip cookie in my Jar. Try not to
contract AIDs in California and keep writing. I love you as
much as I hate you, and that’s a lot. Forever yours. Chip­
munk
There were others too. So many others. Rob J. and Amy
S., you make flying fun. All the girls in Wesleyan and,
staying up late. Mr. Dunn, who accepted my flaws with my
strengths, was a friend as well as a teacher. Ms. Howe,
thank you for always telling us, "Accept each other for
what we are." Dylan, I hope you find a girl who deserves
you.

DANIKA A. POWELL
To Bermuda
Mom and Dad — I don’t know what to say other than thank you and that I
love you. I know It wasn't easy. In no way, sending me to school here. If I would
have done what I should have, I wouldn’t be here in the first place. I’m sorry.
Thank you for believing in me and allowing me a second chance. I’ll never be
able to repay you for that, but I’ll find a way. I promise. One day we’ll have It

all.

through this past year and the years before that. You’re the best anyone could

have.
1 love

Dina —

I’m finally graduating. I wish so much that I could have turned
back time so I could have graduated with you last year. I am sorry. You are my

He gave the horse his head and &lt;
at the next “fork in the road” he chose an

' ■ one upon which Sampson had originally
embarked.
Sampson continued eastward, carefully scrutinizing the country for an available home site, but it was not until he reached a locality now known as Kent’s Hill
in the town of Readfield, in the then province of Maine, that he found a location to
suit him.
Kent’s Hill overlooks wide stretching meadows and valleys, and is truly a bit
of God s own country. After staking out a home site of about two hundred and
fifty acres, he returned for his family and proceeded to build himself a home and to
develop the property.
Here he worked and toiled industriously, and with rare business ability, because
he accumulated considerable wealth.

Deeply religious, he soon became, like many another of his kind, one of the
moving spirits in the community. Being dissatisfied with the religious and educa­
tional teaching, which was sporadic and not of a generally high order, he decided to
remedy this situation.
He applied to the legislature of the newly created state of Maine in 1821 for a
charter for an organization to be known as the “Readfield Religious and Charitable
Society.” He deeded to it some land, some houses, furnishings and books for the
explicit purpose of teaching people more about religion and education in general.
At about the same time one, Elihu Robinson of Augusta, Maine had started a
small school with similar purposes. Sampson induced this man to move his school
to Kent’s Hill and to use the property for educational purposes for the instruction
of the young people of Readfield, Kent’s Hill and vicinity.
So this is how Kent’s Hill School started—all from allowing a horse at a fork
in the road” to follow his own head!
The early history of this school parallels that of almost every similar institution.
It had its ups and downs, and periods even when it seemed that it would not sur-

There could be no other answer, of course, but that the school must have this

Dear Alumnus:

a regular gym, say 100 feet by 60 feet, with showers
and lockers, team rooms and offices; and a "big playing

on a floor which the hoys won't have tb play right
and left with a long row of .supporting posts.

As a matter of fact, Professor llewton
did. get close to §5,000. in subscriptions as a re­
sult of that Boston meeting, as he stayed in the
vicinity of Boston for a week or two after the
Reunion.

Dear Alumnus:

■■I

The first subscription we received was
§10,000. from Cyrus H. Curtis of the Curtis Pub­
lishing Company, in Philadelphia, a loyal son of
Maine.

We would like very much to announce at
the Reunion which will occur August 16th at Kent’s
Hill, which last year 275 attended, that we have
enough money in hand so that we can break ground
and have the building up before the end of the
Fall session.

1

We have had several §1,000. subscriptions.

The total pledges up to date are approaching §30,000,
which is about half what we are planning to get in
order to build the kind of a gymnasium we want to

have, and to have enough surplus so that the extra
expense in running it and heating
it will be taken
care of without imposing any further
expenses on
the school.

If we can do this, it will be the marking
of a new era for Kent’s Hill, because just as sure
as shooting a new dormitory will come next. We
have four or five men now who may give a new build­
ing and remodel the inside of Sampson Hall, sometime in the future.

I

i

You will remember that we stated in a re­
cent letter that we were not then going to ask you
for any subscription unless you have been personally
seen by Professor Newton or Mr. Hincks.
We made that statement ul

Enclosed in this letter you will find a
pledge card. We feel now is the time to ask you
for your cooperation in this movement. The matter
is left entirely to you.

Peep down in the heart of any man or woman
who has obtained as much as you have in your prep
school experience, is a desire to pass on to others
who are perhaps less fortunate than you are, or were,
some of the advantages you had in your day. I find
this in all walks of life, among successful people
and those not so successful.

I
i

Therefore, speaking for the trustees,
feel confident that this appeal will not fall on
deaf ears, and that you will indicate your desire
to join this movement in proportion to what you feel
you can reasonably afford.
ry sincerely,
Yours

Dear Friend and Alumnus:

Furthermore, it told a, little story about the
establishment of the school itself, which we find only a few
even know about. We believe it will give you a little better
idea of the background of the school, now that vcm kno-vr .11.__.

On most all movements to acquire new buildings,
or Endowment Funds, and things of such sort, there is usually
a big committee organized and a lot of enthusiasm engendered
and sometimes the desired object is obtained,
'

Our total pledges to date, therefore, are
practically $41,000. Allowing for about $5,000, the
income from which will take up the excess upkeep of this
new building, we have only $15,000 more to go before we
shall actually break ground for this marvelous new
building, which will usher in an entirely new era for
Kent’s Hill.

Over a hundred and fifty of Kent’s Hill
Alumni have contributed to this amount. Many have told
me they intend to help, but now is the accepted time.

Won’t you fill out your pledge on the en­
closed card and send it in at once, so that we can have
$55,000 in dear old Kent’s Hill’s stocking for her
Christmas present?

It has seemed to us that even if it took a littl
longer to attain, we would much prefer to have this thing don
in the one way we believe will please you the most, and that i
by an orderly natural progression.
As you know, Professor J. 0. Newton has been mor'
or less released from his educational duties at the Hill. He
has been spending considerable of his time contacting not ona
Alumni, but people of means whom we feel sure will be interest
in helping in this movement.

We are planning to end this campaign not

to get back to the pleasant odors of the chemical labo­

as never before in your time, does the school count on
you for your support. We know we have your sympathy;

We are very happy to report we are within $5,000 of our goal.

When wealthy men have the concrete evidence of what we have done in creat­

Can we in all fairness take our place as an educational institution to carry o£fc7
the ideals of over one hundred and twenty years, unless we get our equipment up to
1931 standards? Personally, I don’t believe so.

�Kents Hill Seminary
Established 1824
TO SHOW THE WAY TO KNOWLEDGE AND CHARACTER

Kents Hill, Maine
Edward W. Hincks

February 3, 1931

H EADMASTER

Myra V. Hall
82 Main St.
Bangor, Me.
Dear Madam:
You may have seen in the papers recently that Kents Hill Seminary
at Kents Hill, Maine, is going to build a new gymnasium.

This in itself may mean little or nothing to you as an individual,
other than a news item, but as a resident of Maine and as one
interested in state affairs, it may mean something more than that
to you.
President Sills of Bowdoin recently made a remark to one of the
trustees of Kents Hill, Mr. Clifford, that he was very much inter­
ested in trying to get a larger representation of Maine boys in
Maine colleges, and that he was very much interested in this new
activity at Kents Hill and wished to have a closer co-operation
with the colleges and the prep schools of Maine.

My reason, as Chairman of the Gymnasium Committee, in sending you
the enclosed appeal for just a five-dollar bill, in itself is
merely a gesture. It would be a nice thing for you to do, if you
could be a part of this plan, but it is sent more with the idea
of acquainting you with the fact that here is a movement worthy
of something more than just the support of a five-dollar bill.
We plan from time to time to send you information as to what is
doing along these lines. We would welcome your constructive
suggestions and your active support.

Kents Hill has gone along for more than a century in a reasonable
sort of way, but the present is not the time for a "let live”
attitude, either in education, business, or anything else, and we
are looking for help and constructive ideas from you.
If you can see your way clear to honor our request for a small
contribution which is going to be used to create a small Endowment
Fund of $10,000 to carry on the excess cost of this new plant,
it will be greatly appreciated.
Yours very truly.

The New Gymnasium at Kents Hill

# /ell, here is the new Kents Hill gymnasium,—built, in operation,
and filling a much-needed place in the activities of the school.

Fine as this building is in itself, it stands as a monument to two distinct factors
in the school life,—the alumni and alumnae, their good wishes, their interest, and
best of all, their material support with that of others who have the good of the
institution at heart, and as an earnest of things to come.

No such onward march of events could be put in motion without bringing
with it the certainty of further additions to the physical and moral welfare of
Kents Hill.
I

The cost of the gymnasium, including necessary expenses, was only a little
over $50,000.00, a substantial saving from the original estimate of $70,000.00.
This was brought about by the careful planning and figuring of our able gymnasium

Kent's Hill alumni and, student body
in connection with the laying of the
lornerstone of the new gymnasium,
which was an all-day Saturday event,
despite the rain which fell towards
the latter part cf the afternoon, was a
grand success, and all returning grad­
uates enjoyed a gala time.
The morning was devoted to a gen­
eral renewing of old acquaintanceships.
The cool campus of the old school was
thronged with a merry crowd of jovial
men and women, graduates young and
aid. Several hundred were "present.
Promptly at cne o’clock luncheon was
served on the campus with a bounteous
assortment of food ready for all. Fol­
lowing the luncheon, a special feature
of the day was the gatherin

Country's Oldest Prep School Club,
Maine Group, to Observe Centennial-+
______

4--------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------

The Calliopean Society of the
Maine Wesleyan Seminary at Kent’s
Hill, Me., is now actively engaged in
preparation for the observance of its
centennial anniversary at the coming
commencement of the school on June

14 and 15.
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?" Singu­

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.

| Kent’s. 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

STUDENT STORIES
(Continued from Page Two-A.)

j its ehairs, a few belonging to none .
: at all. tho such were expected to con-:
I form outwardly to the customs of the !
I sect. It is about one of these last, :
| that a good story is whispered sub
; rosa.
A, few incorrigible students were
[ once engaged in some mischief a Jit- '
j tie worse than usual, when the Proi lessor in question suddenly bounded
: into their midst, eyes flashing, his •
.1 anger at a white heat. Hor once he •
■ forgot himself.
(
“I should like to know what in h— :•
i is going on here,” he shouted.
I
(
“Why, Professor! blandly remon! strated one of the young scapegraces, !
1 “Isn’t that rather unusual language?” !
■
But the Professor was ready with I
his answer.
“I’ll have you know, sir, that this j
is a very unusual occasion.”
When the Ghost Walked
In the days before the genial presi ence and great ability of Prof.
I George Stone were lured away from
! the Seminary science department, by :
I an appointment as State geologist!
| in the Far West, Will/ur Stevens, of
-*
:. 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
&lt; 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'. Scarcely was his
buck turned when the temporary
holder of the remains attempted to
! yoke Stevens with the croweome ex­
hibit.

the back of the scat with a bang that
; instantly brought the professor's
face to the.front. Billy was yjst sit­
ing dtfwn, and the improvised sheep­
yoke was innocently being passed
along. What Prof. Stone thought,
nobody ever knew. He only smiled
a little as he said:
“Be careful of those relics, boys.” '
The School Rhymester
I
Students of fifty years since must
: still remember how the then acting
| president. “Prof. Joe” Morse, habitt ually used to summon offenders to
I his side by beckoning with the foreI finger of his upraised hand. Only .
two joints of it moved in the least.
They will also remember how each
prospective graduate had to write an .
“Original,” and. after its being duly1
corrected and committed, to deliver
it in public. The • school jongleur;
tried to get out of this unwelcome
task; so his essay at length be- &gt;
came long
overdue. Finally the
beckoning finger called him. That
; essay must be passed in at once.
Thus spurred into action, the
i rhymester resorted to verse, and
; his metrical complaint was passed
; over to Prof. Stone for correction,
i He read it and passed it back, sayI ing,
|
‘‘All right, expect you have spelled
('’Professor,’ with two f’s. a very
i common error. due.'T suppose, to_the
■ habit of saying ‘Prof.’
Then he added, with'a smile:
“If you can stand that, I guess I
can.”

We rejoice at the active interest manifested
in the “President’s Mansion.” and hope and
expect to see. at an early day. a spacious and
substantial residence for our President added to
the already beautiful college row. But why will
not some generous friend, with an eye to the san­
itary needs, set on foot a scheme for the erec­
tion and furnishing of a gymnasium ?
This
want has long been felt, and is showing itself in
the early disability of some of our graduates.
With the increase of mental labor required of
us, some provision for exercise becomes a hy­
gienic necessity.
The Faculty cheerfully grant
every consistent opportunity for recreation, and
are constantly advising us to take regular exer­
cise.
But in the winter months, especially,
there is an utter absence of facilities.
Often,
for several days, it is not suitable for the ladies
to leave the college grounds. A “chapel march.”
and a “game of bean-bags.” now and then, are
not sufficient. While some of a roving ( ?) turn
of mind doubtless take sufficient exercise, many

of our best students have their future efficiency
materially lessened by the want of regular and,
if necessary, of compulsory participation in gym­
nastic drill. Hand in hand with the high moral
and intellectual cultivation of our institution,
should go that careful attention to physical train­
ing, which can only be realized when rooms are
fitted for this especial purpose, and the students
are required to avail themselves of their privi­
leges.
The winter term, although it is especially
adapted to study, is an eventful season, The
term so nearly passed is no exception, One
of the leading events is a change in the ranking
system—a change we consider a reform. The
present method is based upon the scale of Kill.
This has an advantage over the previous system,
with 5 as a basis, as it makes finer distinctions.
Monthly reports are now made out and handed
to those whose rank is below the minimum, or
indicates a doubtful standing, and are sent to the
parents of minors. In some way. too. the ab­
sences are considered and reported. It was sol­
emnly remarked that nearly all excused absences
are supposed to occur on account of sickness,
and that in some instances (?) it is highly im­
portant that parents should know how sick their
children are 1 No efforts are made tending to
create a rivalry among the more advanced stu­
dents ; but these on inquiry can learn their
standing at the close of the term. We hope the
next change will be a ranking of compositions.
To incite to greater effort and accuracy in that
line would be a means of profit to us all.

In our present number we wish to say a word
about our preceptress. Miss Waterman. Besides
being a graduate of the Maine We-leyan Semi­
nary and Female College, Kent’s Hill, Me.,
with the degree of A. B.. and a recent student
at the Berlitz School of Languages, at Boston,
she came to us well recommended from former

UP THE HILL.
BY WILL JONES.

The heart of school-life always lives
In its own world. God never gives
A paradise more fair
To earth, than earth’s own school-days bright,
With all of love, and all of light,
And all of life, but care.
Wide, wide old world, whose hopes arc hills!—
Our life must climb o’er granite ills
Up to the snows of age.
We, while the storm has raged without
Heavy with clouds of fate and doubt,
Have hidden from its rage.
While climbing up the steep hill-side,
O’er fallen hopes and icy pride,
We saw a shelter here,
Here, where from all the strife we turn
And how to live and struggle learn,
To conquer fate and fear.
As, ’mid the cloud-crowned Alpine peaks,
Some sheltered bower concealment seeks
From avalanche and storm;
So here, our school-days, ’mid the rocks,
Hide from the great world’s battle shocks,
And keep their young hearts warm.

Fight on, O world! ’tis God’s decree!
Fight on, O world, till wrong shall tlee
Before the might of right!
Fight ou till slavery shall die;
Fight on till tyranny’s great lie
Shall feel the sword of light!

(

5

Strike, nation of the Plymouth sires;
Strike, nation of the lightning wires;
Strike home on your own crime!
Strike with the blows of Vicksburg, till
The ringing of your sword shall till
The history of time!
Then Gilmore, kindle your Greek fire
Beneath rebellion’s funeral pyre;
Its glare shall light the world
To burn the yoke from off the slave!
And over treason’s war-trod grave
The old star-spangled ting shall wave
With every star unfurled.
But, O my Country, in your strife.
Forget not whence your earnest life
Its first great lessons learned:
Forget not whence the spirit came
That lights the centuries with tlame,
And guides us to a better fame
Than men have ever earned.

Forget not that our schools to-day
Shed round our hopes the brightest ray
That through the darkness beams;
Forget not that, with truth and right,
Our schools strike for us in this fight,
And. through our struggles shadowed night,
Their brilliant armor gleams.

Our schools are there where science throws
Its magic thunder on our foes
O’er breathless sea and land;
Where knowledge bids its lightnings flash,
Its lines to charge, its columns dash,
Its shells explode, its .love-bolts crash
Where rebel towers stand.
Our schools are where the engineer,
Boring through midnight death and fear
With his unerring mines,
Beneath the very earth to gain
The victory force might seek in vain,—
Volcanoes sleeping in their train.
Pushes his steady lines.
Our schools are where New England’s sons
By ruined railways stack their guns,
And, with their hands of skill,
Rebuild the breathing king of steam
Upon his iron throne supreme,
Once more, with dreaded Yankee scream,
Rebellion’s soul to ehill.
Our schools are where bine rank and file
March over many a weary mile ;
And each, of thousands there,
Is fit as well to take command
As he who leads the brave young band ;
Musket or sword alike, each hand
Would well know how to bear.

Then land of schools, so blest by God
Even now, while ruin rides abroad
Over our bleeding life,
Though we are stricken by his will,
Thank Him, our schools with blessings, still,
The best of reinforcements, fill
Our armies in this strife.
Thank Him that every mournful call
For men to march and light and fall
Our struggling country sounds,
Our schools of their young lives outpour
Still their “ three hundred thousand more”
To triumphs, graves, or wounds.

But oh, for more than earthly good,
For more than patriot-given blood,
Thank Him who over-rules
Our life, for that by which is wreathed
Our life around with blessings breathed
By Heaven upon our schools,
Which, through a Christian school of prayer,
Thrills while it builds its altar there,
And faith rears its strong tower;
Thank Him for that unseen, unheard,
Ungrasped by mortal thought or word.
That only God-known power,

The power that scatters doubt to-day;
The power that makes the doubter pray
To Him he had detied ;
The power that, with God’s blessing, rolls
The Christ-tido over sinning souls
Made sinless by that tide.

THE KENT'S HILL BREEZE.
Thank God, His hand has reached us here,
Down through the storms of tins wild year,
Down through the cannon’s hreath,
Down through the universal moan
That earth sends upward to His throne
From war and woe and death.

Down the bright light path from .above,
Through all the clouds, our Father's love,
From Heaven’s great heart sublime,
Has come to bid our soul-strife cease ;
Through earthly war has come God’s peace
Down the wild hills of time.

It found our school-life hidden here
Away from the wide world of fear
As in a hermit's cave;
It turned aside to our retreat,
It came to us a mercy-seat,
It came, it came to save.
It filled our sheltered life with light,
And made our school-days here more bright
Than all our other life;
It made the future’s sea of care
Seem less the rough wave of despair,
Less billowy with strife.
Green hill of hope, green hill of hope,
At thy dim base we used to grope
Our weary, lightless way;
But Faith climbs with us up the height,
Up from the doubting, from the night,
Upward into the day.

But now we leave this scene so blest,
We leave this happy term of rest
From life’s great seething toils;
We leave the teacher and the taught,
Each, for himself, to trace his lot
Through fate's mysterious coils.

We go to climb life’s hill again,
To crowd and push with other men,
To slip, to fall, to rise,
To hurl ambition's daring form
Against the cliffs, against the storm,
Against the angry skies.
But oh 1 with strength we here have earned,
With faith and prayer we here have learned,
To climb our hill we go ;
Though winter, down the icy steep
With wildest blast, shall blinding sweep
His avalanche of snow.
No blow, no fall, no tempest’s wrath
Shall drive us from our upward path
While wo remember all
Our school-days’ counsels ; and our life
Shall be the nobler for each strife,
The stronger for each fall.

Then, when behind us, many a year
Looks backward to our terinslay- here,
Their eyes with tears shall fill, ’
And their great, beating hearts shall swell
ith thanks as they remember well
Our rest upon The Hill.

THE KENTS HILL BREEZE.

AN OLD-TIME REPORT.
Board of Trustees of the Maine

Wesleyan

Seminary :
Gentlemen,—As the year is rapidly receding,
its last sands falling from the glass of time, I

am reminded of my duty to-day before you, the
intellectual and moral improvement of the Fe­
male Department of your Institution during the
past year, and its present situation.
It is with feelings of deep interest that I now
address you, knowing it is the last time ‘I shall
be thus privileged, as I now resign the situation

with which you have so long honored me. Pain­
ful as it may be to some of the best feelings of

my nature, I rejoice that I can approach you at
this time, and in this manner, with a heart truly
grateful for the confidence you have reposed in
me; and as it regards the performance of the
duties that have devolved upon me, with a con­
science void of offense toward my beloved pu­
pils, yourselves, and my God.
I am pleased that I can speak of the contini nance and increasing prosperity of this depart­
ment. One hundred and two young ladies have
entered the past year; all of whom have attend­
ed to the higher branches of education with the
exception of two. Twenty to Natural Philoso­
phy,—thirty *to Chemistry,—twenty-two to Bot­

i

any,—twenty-one to Natural Theology,—ten to
Mental Philosophy,—twenty-one to Moral Phi­

.

losophy,—nine to Rhetoric,—six to Algebra,—
five to Latin,—forty to French,—sfour to Span­
ish,—one to Italian,—twenty-four to the Orna­
mental Branches,—three to Music.
History,
with the more common branches of Arithmetic,
English Grammar, and Geography, have by no

&gt;•

means been neglected.
Their progress in these various pursuits has
been highly gratifying to their teachers. The
habits of close application, patient thought, and
thorough investigation of subjects presented to
• the mind, which characterized many of them,
; would do credit to the most learned and scien­
tific scholar of any age. In no study was their
I improvement more conspicuous than in English
composition, and their themes evinced not only

•

t

a number will be found almost every variety of
character. But as it has ever been the object to
give a high intellectual tone to this department.
and this tone is perceptible to all: every one
that entered was desirous to raise themselves to
it, in order to breathe freely its atmosphere ; and
I was daily gratified at beholding efforts to burst
asunder the chains of indolence, and overcome
incorrect mental habits.
If it has been an object to raise the intellect­
ual character of this department, there has, I
trust, been a still greater to give stability,
strength, and power to its moral and religious
being. In this, I feel we have succeeded, for
we have been aided by the unerring Spirit of
God. I have seen its renovating influence,
changing the fretful disposition to the mild and
patient; the proud to the humble. A large part
of the young ladies are professors of religion,
and in my daily intercourse with them, although
I saw much to lament, yet I discovered in the
most of them, to use the language of Scripture,
that growth in grace which is necessary to the
happiness of the Christian. * One of our num­
ber left us to commence the arduous duties of a
missionary, for which her deep piety and respect­
able talents eminently fit her.
The changes of the past year have brought
the two departments more in contact than formerly. and the result has been more favourable
than I anticipated, for I confess I had many
fears. Such an intercourse, if properly man­
aged, is productive of mutual benefit. It re­
quires wholesome restrictions and they should be
laid equally upon both parties. It increases the
responsibility of teachers, but if they are judi­
cious, (and such may yours ever be.) and dis­
tinguish accurately between truths and mere idle
gossip, to which they should never willingly list­

Department of this Seminary, I believe my
partiality has not given to it false coloring, but
I have presented it before you as it is. It
opens a field of labour to the diligent, faithful
teacher which promises an abundant harvest.
If I mistake not. a proposition was made at
your semi-annual meeting to discontinue it alto­
gether. Such a proposition could not be the re­
sult of mature reflexion. Do you not wish to

Where can this, and
where has this been better accomplished than at
the Maine Wesleyan Seminary ’ Have we not
sent all these forth from our institution, and are
they not usefully and religiously performing the
duties ■which devolve upon them? Perhaps it is
urged that this department does not support it­
self. It ought to. In 183,5 it paid all its expen­
ses, and there was a balance left in the treasury.
Since then there has been an accession of salary
of thirty-live dollars, but the increase of pupils
and their permanency should overbalance this.
If it does not, could not an increase of tuition
remedy the evil?
You will perhaps think me presumptuous in
thus writing, but as it is the last time that I shall
address you, I trust you will pardon me, and at­
tribute it to its true cause, the deep interest I
feel for your Institution. Although on the eve
of departure to a distant State to engage in the
arduous duties of teaching, my feelings towards
it remain unchanged, and I shall ever rejoice in
its prosperity.

“ Yearned after all the joys of social life
And softened with the love of human kind.”

In his writings, how near he* comes to us.
He is a visible spirit, “immortal company in
book-shape.” Often at the confessional, his .
essays are a sort of embodied personality.
True, he deals in common-places and with the i
trifles of humanity, but he stirs them with such i
a freakish zeal, and lightens them with so rare a
humor.
It is commonplace material, but most
uncommon handling. One would say he was
not a poet, but his prose was as alive with poetic
fire as the wake of a ship with phosphorescent
gleams on a midsummer’s night. Of his own
frailties he makes a jest, and, with a peculiar
mental twist, so briskly covers his troubles that
his sad experiences are well nigh hidden by his
genius and his heart-aches provoke a smile. We ;
accept as truth what he says of himself, that he
thinks he is happy when he knows he is sad.
Yet the salt of his sayings has often in it the ■
dampness of tears.
He keenly criticises, He slashes with his i
sarcasm. At times he heaps up. as if to the
limit of language, his withering comparisons: j
and, after all, he never fails to assure his victim
that he would deeply grieve should he chance to :

BEYOND THE SUNSET.
EMMA F. S'EWTOX.

When long shadows fall behind us
As we watch the sun’s last ray
Passing slowly from our vision
At the close of some fair day,
And the fading tints of sunlight
Linger there so lovingly
Lighting all the west with splendor
Picture beautiful to see,
While the long bright day dies slowly
O’er this world of joy and woe,
And the gloom begins to gather
As the shadows come and go—

Then the question oft arises,
As we wait the coining night
What is there beyond the sunset.
Far beyond our mortal sight'.’

27

And of all earth’s lovely pictures
Not the fairest can compare
With the loveliness ami beauty
We feel sure are over there.

Whether mansions of such splendor
As no earthly eyes behold,
Towering high with lofty turrets
Made of silver and of gold.
And the streets of that fair country
Bright as jasper, crystal clear,
And the gates of pearls and sapphires—
Fairer than we dream of here,
Or in green and flowering meadows.
Peaceful streams tlow softly by.
Where without a fear or sorrow
Earth worn forms may gently lie.
O’er those scenes of perfect beauty
Winter no rude blasts can bring,
But there reigns eternal Summer
And bright flowers perpetual Spring.

We shall some day reach the sunset
Pass beyond the glowing west
See the fair land that we long for,—
May we find there perfect rest.

keenness at his studies which gave him a prom• inent place in his classes: and his genial, social
qualities, combined with a decision of purpose,

Another red-letter day for the editorial corps.
Saturday evening, Feb. 10th, we had the pleas­
ure of taking tea with Mrs. 0. F. Parker, at the
Mansion. We had a delightful time, and send
through the Breeze, to our hostess, our best
wishes and sincere thanks.
How can any one resist subscribing for the
Breeze? Every old student knows that an edi­
tion is published every day in the year, besides
two extras each term, which are of special inter­
est, and all for fifty cents. Leap years, we give
still another extra. and our premiums are—but
there—you’ll find the business manager’s address
on first page.
The authorities are disposed to strictly en­
force the ten o’clock rule. Although this may
not be agreeable to us all, we can but admit
that it is a wise rule. Many of the students are
■ overworking themselves, and will see and feel
the effects of it in after years, unless cheeked
soon. But, would it be unwise to allow the stu­
dents one evening a week for their own. as far
as lights are concerned?

Just a word about that feather bed, for the
benefit of non-residents. On Jan. 23. 1883, a
feather bed was stolen—or rather abducted—by
some of the ladies; concealed in the room of two
innocent youths, by two gents, urged on by the
ladies; taken charge of by the innocent youths,
and sto—abducted again by the ladies, and
finally returned to its owners. The result ? Oh,
the joke is still on the ladies.

�DEDICATION
To
the Memory of
FRANCES ANN DAVIS, A.M.,
Whose loving, loyal, untiring efforts
as teacher, advisor, and friend, won
for her the love, admiration and re­
spect of every one who knew her
this joint issue of the
Breeze and Alumnus
m respectfully dedicated.

�Wanres Ann Sants
It was many centuries ago that the old Greek philosopher
made the statement, “ Those whom the gods love die young.”
His real meaning remained an enigma until comparatively
recent years, when Robert Louis Stevenson discovered it to
be this: that those whom God really loves are never allowed
to grow old, but always remain young in spirit, regardless of
the number of years they are given to live.
Miss Davis seemed to possess this gift in a wonderful
degree. The writer did not have the privilege of knowing
her until time had begun to take its toll from her body and
her mind, but it was powerless to mar the indomitable youth
of her spirit. Her joy in her contacts with the pupils never
grew less, and she was always as happy as they at their return
to school. No girl of eighteen had a brighter or more hopeful
view of the future; in her mind each new year of the school
was the best that the school had ever had, and each new stu­
dent body was a better one than any of its predecessors. In
discussing school affairs she would not dwell upon the past, as
people of her age are wont to do, but she would refer to the
past only as it furnished a background for her faith in a
greater future for the institution she loved so well. And
greatest of all, her devotion to her Heavenly Father showed
at all times, in both word and deed, the fervor of a new
convert.
It is because of this wonderful trait that Miss Davis her­
self was typical of all that makes Kent’s Hill what it is; her
devotion to her religion, her faith in young people, her belief
that the future will always be an improvement on the past,
and her joy in giving her life to bringing that to pass, are the
foundation stones upon which the Seminary stands today;
they are the key-notes of its life and its service and its future.

T. W. W.

During the last three years of Miss
Davis’ life, she had a secretary, a
former student and teacher with her,
to whom she dictated many letters for
her beloved “ children ” and to whom
she told many incidents of the school
life of those children, as well as
stories of her own experiences. She
realized that she had but a little time
longer here and in speaking of the Life
Beyond, she said that her highest idea
of Heaven for herself would be that
there might be some there who knew a
little less than she did and she might
go on teaching.
This love for teaching was such a
part of herself that after she gave up
class-room work she was happy in
helping on a few backward students,
and, still later, in teaching her suc­
cessor in alumni work that the alumni
of Kent’s Hill are wonderful people —
almost without exception loyal to the
core, all bound together by Kent’s Hill
spirit, all proud of their connection
with the old school; that students of
only one year here may cherish its
memories as dearly as those who spent
four or five; that the comedies and
tragedies of their lives are more inter­
esting than written books, and, most
important of all, they must be loved,
individually and collectively with rare
Kent’s Hill love.
The facts of her life and the stories
are as she herself gave them, some of
them being taken word for word from
her lips.
Miss Frances Ann Davis was born
in Indiana, Sept. 8, 1848, daughter of
Charles and Esther Freeman Davis.

Her parents moved to Hallowell when
she was four years old. Her father
was in failing health at that time and
after his death she and her mother
lived with relatives in Chelsea, Hallo­
well and Gardiner while she was get­
ting her education.
In 186G, she came to Kent’s Hill to
school, and the room she occupied the
first night on the Hill was the one she
chose for hers when she resigned as
Preceptress and which she retained un­
til given the two rooms on the first
floor, a few years ago. She graduated
from the College course in 1868, one
of a class of thirteen, of whom only
two are now living.
Mrs. Mary Chapman Quick, one of
these two, writes: “ Fannie was very
dear to me. Being several years older
— more dignified and serious than I
was as a careless, happy schoolgirl,
she saved me from many a scolding
from dear Dr. Torsey, whom we all
loved so devotedly. Her influence was
felt by the whole class. She had a
kind word, and glad smile for all of
us. Gifted beyond the ordinary, she
has left behind a wonderful record.
We cannot wish her back. Her life
was filled with usefulness and she has
gone to her great reward.”
As long as she lived, she tried to
keep in touch with these classmates
and often spoke of them and the good
times they had in school together.
She spoke of a secret motto they
adopted, which was known by the
initials “ G. V. E.” As years went by
this motto was forgotten, but the in­
terpretation of it given by those not in

the secret, was “ Great Voracious Eat­ O, the brain it almost reels
ers.” Only last year she referred to And the blood it half congeals
this with the keenest enjoyment; the As it peals

Miss Davis never went away from her
after that to teach.
“ Before I came to Kent’s Hill, my
mother and I lived with my uncle,
whose picture is in the old chest up on
the fifth floor. You remember I told
you about her accident. It was pretty
hard work getting along. I found it
was impossible to pay expenses for
Mother and myself teaching a little
country school with terms of eight or
nine weeks, at $5 a week, so I asked
Mother’s opinion of my branching out
and trying to earn more money. She
said she thought it was our duty to
stay with Uncle. I let it go at that for
a while, then one day I said:
“‘Mother, if Father had lived
would you have felt that it was his
duty and yours to stay here with
Uncle ? ’ 1 Why, no,’ said Mother.
‘Why not?’ I asked. ‘Why, he was
the wage-earner of the family,’ said
she, ‘ and of course he would go where
he could earn the most money, and I
should go with him.’ ‘ Then, Mother,’
I said, ‘ now that I am the wage­
earner, why aren’t you willing to go
with me? Now, look, let me try, just
try, to get a better situation and if I
can get one, you come with me and
look it over, and I promise you. that if
you don’t like it, I will come back to
Uncle’s and go on teaching the little
school and never mention it again.’
“ The opportunity came for me here
on Kent’s Hill and Mother saw at
once how much better it was than the
one I had, and she was perfectly will­
ing to come. And in her later days
she often said how glad she was she
wasn’t in a private home. She en­
joyed having the young life around
her. And the young folks seemed to

like her and were always lovely to her.
Of course she was in her wheelchair
a good deal of the time. I have an
apron my mother made here when she
was eighty years old.”
It was in the winter of 1882-3 that
Miss Davis began her long work as a
teacher. An old school-mate, Ellen
Hatch, (Mrs. Charles Parker, whose
death within a few weeks of Miss
Davis’ own we regretfully note in this
paper) was Preceptress. Miss Davis
loved to recall those days and the
romance that developed at that time.
“ One of the teachers, Charles
Parker, also a former student, was in­
clined to be very friendly.
Miss
Hatch was embarrassed by his atten­
tions and evaded them when possible,
making sure of the companionship of
one of her girl friends when there was
danger of his offering his escort. But
this friend soon surmised that the
young lady really cared for the gentle­
man, though not aware of the fact.
She therefore took him one side and
counselled him to leave her absolutely
alone and watch the effect. The effect
was as he desired. When he next
offered his attentions he was not re­
pulsed and when he offered himself,
he was accepted.”
The fall of 1883 was the time of the
historic high wind that blew the roof
from Sampson Hall, taking three
chimneys with it. Miss Davis said of
that time: “ My mother and I were
sleeping down on the first floor — the
third room as you come in. Suddenly
this awful crash came — with nothing
first. I said, ‘ Mother, there goes the
chimney I ’ Mother was never a nerv­
ous woman at all and I said, ‘ Now,
you lie right here and I will dress,' and

�6

THE KENT’S HILL BREEZE AND ALUMNUS

I got into my togs as fast as I could
and went out. Some of the girls were
there and there were several boys in
the girls’ hall. We had a very good
steward, Edwin R. French. He was
up there in no time at all, and so were
the boys, and I will say this — that
for every kind of emergency we have
had thus far, we have had some of
the best boys that anybody could ask
for, whether it was the fire, or what­
ever. And I could back it with proof.
Prof. McIntire and the other teachers
went right up and inside of two hours
the chimneys were under control and
the students quieted down.
“ One of the teachers, Prof. Strong,
lived outside and did not know any­
thing about it until next morning. He
was one of the most generous men you
ever saw. Fie was very quick and any
little thing would make him nervous.
This was characteristic of him: We
had a faculty meeting next day, of
course, and he said to Dr. Smith,
‘Well! Well! What shall we do?
What shall we do ? Put the roof
back ? ’ ‘ Oh,’ Dr. Smith said, ‘ I
think we had better allow the trustees
to take care of that.’ Prof. Strong
was ready to put his hand in his pocket
and put it back.”
Those were the days when all the
buildings were heated with stoves.
“ We had another scrape about six
o’clock one morning. It had been the
coldest night for the winter and I
heard Mr. French step out in the hall
and call to Frank Dow (who was cook
at that time) : ‘Frank! Bearce Hall
is on fire! ’ In two minutes’ time I
heard Mr. Dow say, ‘Boys! Bearce
Hall is on fire,’ and it wasn’t five min­
utes, and without one voice — I did

not hear one voice — those boys were
pattering along as fast as they could
go to Bearce Hall.
“ And the Principal of the school,
Dr. Smith, said he thought to himself,
‘ Now what in the world are those
boys doing! What are they up to at
this time of the morning! Guess I had
better get up and see.’ And before he
got dressed and out — those boys had .
the fire under control. I tell you now
— that old building — I didn’t know
till then how I loved it. When the ap­
praisers came, they said that no fire
force could have done what those boys
did. They acted as if used to it.
They went right at it. I suppose the
gentlemen teachers went with them;
they always do. When we have any­
thing the matter here, Our Boys have
measured right up to it. I KNOW
they have.
“ I think we want to be extremely
careful. Oh, I tell you we want to get
the best; I do not want them to make
so expensive a school that we cannot ’
keep our same kind of students, I
would a great deal rather keep our
country boys and our country girls
than to get a great lot of boys from
the city.”
Miss Davis was a member of the
Adelphian society and was alwavs
afraid of being thought partial to that
society. That she had the interests of
the Eromatheans also at heart is evi­
denced by her efforts in their behalf.
When Ricker Hall was built the
Eromatheans were promised a room in

reading desk. On the wall back of
this was a big brass clock.” And Miss
Davis’ remembrance of Dr. Torsey
was very vivid: “Dr. Torsey was a
very broad-shouldered man, with the
handsomest head I ever saw. He was
the most magnetic man I ever met, yet
he was simple and unaffected. I re­
member at prayer-meeting (we used to
have prayer-meetings in those days)
towards the close of the meeting he
would lay aside the cape which he was
in the habit of wearing and talk for
perhaps ten minutes or so in a very
kind, spiritual way, but in such a sim­
ple fashion that it was never beyond
the minds of any of the students. And
almost always I used to think, ‘Why
couldn’t I have thought to say that my­
self.’ ”
Another article which Miss Davis
was instrumental in having placed in
this room is the quaint and cumber­
some old signboard that used to swing
before the Moody tavern, perhaps the
only public house of Kent’s Hill his­
tory. The tavern belonged to Dudley
Moody, one of the men who put Kent’s
Hill on its feet financially in its early
days, and the old signboard came to
light when the Alhambra was demol­
ished. This ancient symbol of hos­
pitality meant much to Miss Davis as
she marked the changes since it
creaked and swung at the comer of the
Mt. Vernon road.
At the same time that this collection
of historical articles was accumulating,
newspaper men were seeking inter­
views and cameras were being used,
much to the disgust of Aunt Fan. She
said in this connection, “ I dislike more
than anything else having my picture

in the papers; it looks so absolutely
idiotic. I want to keep in the back­
ground just as much as I can. I told
‘ J. O.’ that if he didn’t see to it that I
wasn’t put into prominence in things,
I would make things warm for him
and I presume he has been shaking
ever since.” This distaste at being in
the lime light did not, however, apply
to her “ children,” else this article
would never have been written. The
beautiful tribute that William Wood,
of the class of ’92, wrote and which
was -published in both Breeze and
Alumnus, was printed with her full
consent but was forbidden to go " out
of the family.”
During the last few years, she had
what were formerly the steward’s
rooms on the first floor ‘ of Sampson
Hall and frequently said she was
afraid she was wicked to be so con­
tent: being in the place she preferred
to any other in the world, in comfort­
able rooms with her books; her
friends coming in to chat; letters con­
tinually reminding her of other
friends, and young folks surrounding
her all the time.
And the keen mind and strong will
that knew when her work as Pre­
ceptress should be ended and enabled
her to take a teacher’s position without
rancor or ever making things unpleas­
ant for anyone continued to mark the
times and the seasons until she knew
her life work was ended and she de­
sired, under her Heavenly Father’s
will, to be taken Home.
She passed away July 7, 1926 and
is laid to rest in the little cemetery at
Kent’s Hill.

Like a bird my soul has passed.

Loving friends, O rise and dry
Straightway every weeping eye!
What ye left upon the bier
Is not worth a single tear.
’Tis an empty sea-shell — one
Out of which the pearl is gone.
The shell is broken, it lies there,
The pearl, the all, the soul is here.
Now the long, long wonder ends;
Yet ye weep, my foolish friends,
While the one whom you call dead
In unbroken bliss instead
Lives and loves you — lost ’tis true
In the light that shines for you;
But in the light you cannot see,
In undisturbed felicity —
In a perfect paradise,
And a life that never dies.
Farewell, friends, yet not farewell,
Where I go, you too shall dwell,

Be ye certain all seems love,
Viewed from Allah’s throne above
Be ye stout of heart and come
Bravely onward to your home!

THE KENT’S hill breeze and alumnus

Miss Davis
Miss Davis came to Kent’s Hill to
teach in the winter term of ’82-’83.
It has been my privilege to know her
as a student, as an associate teacher
and to have had her on the faculty
during the years I served as principal.
If I have been of some help and com­
fort to her in the last years of her life,
this too, has been my privilege, for I
owed her much.
As a student I was a member of her
class in Bible study, and what a teacher
she was! We all felt that she lived
daily the principles she taught us. It
is what a teacher is, rather than what
she teaches, that influences lives. We
may forget the French’, but we cannot
forget Miss Davis and her influence
on the character of her students.
She believed thoroughly in the princi­
ples of the founders and the builders
of the school, and maintained that
when the school forgets to emphasize
those principles, it has small reason to
exist. Yet her religion was liberal,
sane, practical. She looked for the
good in other folks and found it.
Her love for students never flagged;
her interest in them and their lives
ever followed them. This genuine in­
terest in students and alumni won for
her a unique place in their thought.
She was Kent’s Hill’s premier teacher;
first in the hearts of the school’s thou­
sands. She knew more alumni than
any person living and loved them all.
Great, kindly heart! it had room for
us all. Love begets love, and Miss
Davis was best loved of all Kent’s
Hill teachers.
Miss Davis lived to celebrate the
centenary of the school. How she
thought and labored to make the cele­
bration a success. Perhaps the effort

THE KENT’S HILL BREEZE AND ALUMNUS

was too much for her strength; she
was not so strong afterward.
I am glad that her last years were
so happy. Many times she said she
was living where she hoped to end
her years. The school was her life to
the end.
Miss Davis excelled in purity of
character; in genuine interest in her
students; in loyalty to the school and
to her associate teachers. For twenty
years she was preceptress, but no one
ever heard her utter a word of criti­
cism of her successors.
This noble woman of Kent’s Hill is
dead; but being dead she yet speaketh.
Death can not kill that which can
never die, a noble character.

J. 0. N.
Miss Davis
We are gathered for the funeral
service of Miss Davis, a long time and
honored teacher in this school. Our
presence here is an expression of our
respect and high regard for her.
This is not a time for sorrow or
lamentation. After years of intelli­
gent, sympathetic and highly efficient
service in developing brain power and
character, in life’s late eventide, after
failing physical powers had made her
pathetic, Miss Davis has graduated
from this life and entered the larger
life beyond. Let us lay away the out­
worn body, rejoicing with her that
her crowning time has come.
Miss Davis was the preceptress of
this school when I became its president
in 1902. She devoted herself without
stint to all school duties, and heartily
cooperated with me in efforts to
achieve the purpose of the school.
She was a wise and skillful teacher,
steadily and in a kindly spirit holding

her students to their best work. One
day she came to me and asked what
she should do with a student in whom
I was very personally interested. I
said, “ Show him no favoritism. Hold
him steadily to his best work.”
Later this student said to me complainingly, “ Miss Davis has it in for
me.” “ That is not so,” I replied.
“ She is doing just what I told her to
do, just what you need to have done.”
Still later he spoke to me in the highest
terms of Miss Davis and expressed to
me his sincere gratitude for what she
had done for him.
She ever sought the highest good of
the students of the school, and watched
over them with almost a mother’s love.
There were always some thoughtless
girls in the school to whom she gave
special attention and care. One of
these, I recall, thought her finical and
unreasonably exacting. In later years
I met this young woman, then married
and the mother of a little girl. Speak­
ing of Miss Davis this mother said, “ I
have a daughter growing up, and I
should like to place her under the care
of just such a teacher as Miss Davis.”
The time came when Miss Davis
thought she ought to lay down the
duties of preceptress. No one, so far
as I knew, had even hinted such a
thing to her. She came and told me
her purpose to resign. My attempt to
change this purpose availed nothing.
She expressed a desire to have a room
on the fourth floor of the dormitory
so that she might be out of the way,
and added, “I do not wish to be a
hindrance in any way to my suc­
cessor.”
I urged her not to take a room on
the fourth floor as climbing so many
stairs would be too burdensome.
“ Take any room in the building that

11

you want.” But she insisted that she
wanted a room on the fourth floor and
took it. Her successor always found
a true and loyal helper in Miss Davis.
She was a godly woman.
She
loved God and gave herself actively to
the Christian work of the school, and
contributed generously of her sub­
stance to church and reformatory
work.
It is very fitting that this brief
service should be held in these rooms
in this building where so large a part
of her life work was done. We are
not alone here. With us is an unseen
multitude who as students in this
school felt the touch and influence of
Miss Davis’ life. They ever bless her
in memory and today sorrow with us
that we shall see here her face no
more.
Wilbur F. Berry, ’76.

The Burial of Miss Frances A. Davis
The skies above seemed mournful
And shed such tender tears,
While friends and close associates
Of many blessed years
Bore to its peaceful resting place
And laid her form away
Until the final summons
Of The Resurrection Day,
So white her soul, benign her life.
Sweet, modest, and so rare;
A host of friends arise to bless
And praise her everywhere.
She is not dead! One never dies
Who lives so worthily;
With honors crowned she changed this life
For immortality.
May many feel the sacred fire,
And fan it to a flame.
Fulfilment of her high desire.
Her coronet of fame!
Rw. William Wood, Wilton, Maine.
(The Burial was amid the notables whose
glorious lives are enshrined in the hearts
and memories of a vast host of admiring
students, at Kent's Hill, July 9th, 1926.)

THE KENT’S HILL BREEZE AND ALUMNUS

De-de
What can one adequately say of
the life and personality of Miss
Davis? Everyone who attempts to
will say it — and no one will say it.
She was herself. As one of her most
devoted friends said at her funeral,
“ Her face betokens character.” And
that is why language, which is de­
signed to express general qualities,
fails to interpret this truly great
woman. But, fortunately for many,
perhaps most of those who will read
this issue, it is not necessary to deliniate her; they know.
By comparison we may say that,
more than is the lot or the attainment
of most people, her life was dominated
by love. Her love was not that senti­
mental thing that can see no fault in
its object. Lofty in standards, in­
tellectual and moral; keen in discrimi­
nation; and endowed with the saving
grace of humor; she still loved, even
where she could not approve.
Hence it happened that she was
wise. There is a much neglected
verse in one of the epistles of St. Paul
that says, not that knowledge is the
basis of wisdom but love. Her advice
was sought by old and young, and
confidently.
Sympathy and wise
counsel were assured in advance.
What a friend she was!

Carlisle, Pa., Oct. 23, 1926.

Miss Davis as I Knew Her
When Miss Davis first went to
Kent’s Hill as a teacher, in the winter
of 1882-3, I was a student in my
junior year. I think I was the first
girl to whom she spoke, asking some
question about the building. That was
the beginning of our acquaintance.
I was in her French and German
classes, and soon learned that nothing
but thorough work and close attention
was allowed there. Soon I learned
that the careful, conscientious teacher
was a warm and loving friend. Her
room was always open to us, and she
was never too busy to give the needed
word of help or advice.
Miss Davis’ first visit to me in my
own home was thirty-five years ago.
Since then she has come to me many
times. It became her custom to spend
a part of every summer with a few of
us in western Massachusetts, who
were her old boys and girls. As she
came year after year, she entered into
our family lives and shared our joys
and sorrows, and watched our chi dren grow up. She called them her
“ grand children.”
..
When Leon McIntire was a sma
boy, he called her “ De-de ”•
e
liked the name and wished all ier
“ grand children ” to use it. Soon we
all called her Dede. She was neve
Aunt Fannie to us.

she may have thought of various poli­
cies at Kent’s Hill, she always defend­
ed them. The only time I ever saw
her show anything like anger, was
once when someone made a remark
which she mistakenly thought was' a
slur upon Kent’s Hill. Like a flash
she answered with a sharp retort.
All the students were her children,
and she believed in them like a mother.
They might have faults, but she was
sure that the faults would be over­
come. Indeed it was her “ word fitly
spoken ” that set many a boy and girl
in the way of overcoming.
Dede’s last visit to me was in 1923.
During her stay we were favored with
calls from several old Kent’s Hill
friends. Lyon and Lulu Norton came
one day, bringing Professor McIn­
tire, and another day, Ada Femald
Starks and her family brought Doctor
Smith, who was visiting them. As
soon as Doctor Smith and Miss Davis
got together they were oblivious to
the rest of us. They were so happy
and planned so much for the Kent’s
Hill centennial the next year. It was
not to be as they planned.
I am so glad that I was with Miss
Davis a few days Commencement
week this year. She was ven’ feeble
and her memory was failing, but her
love for her children never failed.
She said to me, “ I often dream that I
would like to have all my boys and
girls here on the campus down below
Sampson Hall, all together once.” I
replied, “ You ’ll have them all to­
gether in Heaven, Dede.”
“ Yes,” she answered, and seemed
satisfied. I think there could be no
Heaven for her if she missed one of
her children.

If there are guardian angels, she is
still watching over every one of us,
for her love will never fail.
Winifred Ware Bodfish,
College 1884-

Miss Davis was a friend to me for
more than forty years, and it seems
to me that no one ever had a better
friend. First, she was my teacher,
and a good one, too. Then I went
back to Kent’s Hill to teach, and we
were teachers together. Was there
ever a better person to work with?
When I had a home of my own, for
a part of every summer till these last
years, when she could not come, she
was a cherished guest. How we all
looked forward to the coming of
“ Dede ”, as the children called her.
How we miss her.
The traits that made her such a
loved friend stand out as we think over
the days when we had her. Full of
fun she was. Her sense of humor
carried her over many hard places.
Keen mentally, she saw all sides of a
question, and was fair.
Unselfish
almost to a fault, she thought of
others first. Loyal to the core, she
did not drop unkind words or insinua­
tions. Her whole life and method of
thought was built on honesty and sin­
cerity.
Others will speak of what she
meant to Kent’s Hill, how her per­
sonality has made a continuous influ­
ence, and has held together the best
traditions of the school through all
these years. We, her “ children ”,
know that the influence of her rare
life lives on in our hearts.
Lulu Adams Norton, Col. ’86.

THE KENT’S hill BREEZE and alumnus

I first knew Miss Davis when I
was at the Hill as a student in the fall
term of 1885 and the spring term of
1886. As it happened to me, if not
most of the students, it was only a
short time before naturally and more
or less frequently I called on her, al­
though I was not in any of her classes.
What attracted me to her is, no doubt,
the same that attracted all the other
students. I cannot define it and will
not try to.
For forty years I knew her and during all that time it was the most
natural thing in the world for me,
whenever at the Hill, to spend a little
time with her.
To me, the outstanding thing about
Aunt Fannie was this: As I know, not
only from my own experience, but
from observation and from conversa­
tion with other of her boys and girls,
she never made you feel “mean
m—”
”,
Whatever you did or whatever kind
of a boy or girl you were, she never,
by direct words or by implication,
scolded or upbraided or criticised.
You were always pretty sure that she
knew what kind of a boy or girl you
were, and whether you^ were doing
right: or doing wrong. You were also
sure !she loved you and believed in ;---- &gt;
you,
and it was jjust absolutely impossible
to call on her or be with
her.■ or talk
-----with her without going away withi an
impulse or determination to live and
to act and to be just as near to her
ideals of living and action as possible.
F. E. Eastman, '86.
She was a wonderful friend and I
shall never cease to be thankful for
her sympathy and love. I have neve_
seen anyone who had such an inex­
haustible store of interest and helpful-

ness on which her friends could al­
ways depend.
Helen Guernsey Sprague.

Her memory will live in the minds
of the thousands of boys and girls she
has helped to be better men and
women.
E. A. Strout, ’90.

I know tributes will come from all
over the land, and mine is from an ob­
scure person so far as the world goes,
yet I feel I would like the Kent’s Hill
world to know how Miss Davis impressed one, not always in full sympathy with everything inculcated by
the institution during his short stay on
the Hill.
Learning of the death of an old
friend is always saddening, because of
the vacancy in life’s contacts. One
finds that lasting friendships&gt; are selJ-- made
’ 'late
■ •in life, and• the
•’ impres­
dom
sions of youth are lasting, hence we,
who came under the benign influence
of our old friend, feel this morning as
though a part of life was gone. On
the other hand, when one has reached
the fullness of years, and the physical
body has readied its natural decay,
what a joy the release must be to the
dear soul passing into the new life of
restfulness and continued growth. So
we are happy for her, gone to join her
dear mother and loved ones gone be­
fore.
Miss Davis was one of the quiet
persons whose life was full of the best.
No youth who came under her influ­
ence was forgotten by her, nor she bj
him. Her sweet face with its kindly
eyes, shaded by the glasses which
seemed a part of her, can never be
forgotten. Her many acts of kindli­
ness to the boy or girl, who came un-

THE KENT’S HILL BREEZE AND ALUMNUS

der her care, never lose their influence
in their lives.
Although it was over 43 years since
the writer first came in contact with
Miss Davis at the Hill, that first inter­
view will remain a sweet memory.
She was so kindly, so interested to
help the boy in his latest phase of life.
So sincere in it all, that he could but
feel, in her, he had a real friend, and
so it proved. Although as the years
passed, activities of life took the boy,
and the man, over much of this earth’s
surface, far away from sight or touch
with the Hill, yet I believe one of the
strongest influences from that source
was the influence of Fanny Davis,
striving in her quiet way (never sanc­
timonious) to do some real good to a
strange boy. I think more than 18
years passed between leaving the Hill
and meeting Miss Davis again, and I
think I saw her but twice in all after
1883. She was the same interested
friend who wanted to know the details
of the boy’s struggles with life, his
happinesses, successes and failures.
She had a word of commendation for
what she saw as good, and the same
smiling condemnation for what she
deemed bad, in what he told her. The
real qualities of a true friend, that be­
ing, so rare in life’s contacts. Al­
ways through the years she kept her
interest. Now and then a letter, but
very seldom even that, yet she never
forgot, as shown by the reports of
mutual acquaintances who through the
years came in touch with both of us.
It was but a few weeks ago, as she lay
a helpless invalid, a friend called to
see her. She made enquiry and sent
messages of love and friendship, such
as come from the truly unselfish one
to those to whom she renders service.
Such a life as hers, filled with good

15

works and service for others, especially
youth, seems of the highest type one
can attain. How much greater than
the amassing of fortune, the gaining
of worldly high position, the applause
of the multitude? Her life was a ful­
filling of the Master’s ideals. Cer­
tainly I have known few followers of
Jesus Christ who left a deeper impres­
sion of his life and teachings than
Fanny Davis did on my life. She at­
tained the “ Christian Graces ” be­
cause she was first fully equipped with
the “ Pagan Virtues ” and prepared to
receive the higher qualities.
I like the old Catholic expression,
“ God rest her soul! ”
O. O. Howard, '8-j.

I do not really mourn Miss Davis’
departure except as I had cherished a
grain of hope that I might, by some
dispensation of Providence, see her
again. Supremely blessed was her life
and doubtless her death also. I have
been estimating that possibly 8,000 or
10.000 young meh and women have
come under her influence; probably
5,000 to 6,000 homes or more have
been made better by her life and teach­
ing. She has achieved a wonderful
triumph and now she has “ Arrived ”
as the Africans express it when one of
their number dies. Instead of speak­
ing of the “ Dear Departed ” they say,
“He has arrived.” Good! God is
not the God of the dead but the God
of the living and death is simply get­
ting home.
It will not be long, I am sure, before
someone starts a Memorial to her dear
name for the old School. I want to
be in that, somehow.

Athletic Notes
Football started this year with a
rush, about twenty-five men reporting
for suits. Our new coach, Mr. Davis,
and Captain Tapley immediately got
down to business with the sole idea in
mind of beating Hebron. After but
two short weeks of fundamentals and
ground work, and but one short scrim­
mage, we played our first game. This
game was merely a practise one, how­
ever, to show the Coach what kind of
material he had. The Notre Dame
team had already played a couple of
games and when we held them 0-0 we
were sure that Kent’s Hill had the
makings of a fine team.

The following Saturday the Hill­
toppers journeyed to Bucksport to
play E. M. C. S. in the first scheduled
game of the year. Here we first en­
countered the deadlock jinx that was

destined to pursue us the rest of the
season. Aided by some very poor
officiating, Bucksport held us 0-0 al­
though the ball was continually in
Bucksport territory. Kent’s Hill de­
cidedly out-played the Bucksport boys
by at least two touchdowns. There
were no individual stars.

game of the year, that with the Maine

marred by many penalties, several of
these costing Kent’s Hill a chance to
score. The final score showed M. C.

The following Saturday, Kent’s
Hill went to Waterville to play their
first college freshman game of the sea­
son with Colby. The game resulted in
another scoreless tie. Kent’s Hill’s
chances of winning were lost on ac­
count of the numerous inj’uries from
the M. C. I. game. The game was
featured by Freddie Leighton’s run­
ning back of punts and also by the fine

The next week came another fresh­

Frosh.
Kent’s Hill after playing
rings around their opponents, emerged
the victim of a few tough breaks. At
the end of the first half. Kent's Hill
had the ball on Bowdoin’s five yard
line but the whistle blew before they
could put it across. In the last two
minutes to play, the Hilltoppers
worked the ball down to Bowdoin’s
one yard line when the whistle again
blew, ending the game. The whole
team played well. Bowdoin 7; Kent’s

Next came a week of general pep­
ping up in preparation of the coming
battle with our tradtional rivals,
Hebron. More spirit was shown this
year than in many previous years and
so, in order to show appreciation to
the backing of the student body, the
team went to Hebron and played the
“ Big Green ” off their feet, coming
home the victors, 7-0. The whole
team, as is always the case in a
Hebron-Kent's Hill game, played a
wonderful brand of football.
Al­
though both teams played hard, there
were but two penalties, both of these
being for offsides, one on K. H. and
the other on Hebron. Leighton and
Curry pulled off some sensational
runs; Curry dashing sixty yards for

again were forced by hard breaks to
be content with a tie score. Leighton
furnished the fireworks when he ran

In conclusion, the coach and the
team wish to thank the student body
for their fine spirit and cooperation.
They wish also to extend their thanks
to R. C. McIlroy, ’01, of Lewiston,
for the fine blankets which he present­
ed the Athletic Association just before
the Hebron game and which no doubt
aided them materially in defeating
Hebron. The team could do no less
after such a fine display of Kent’s Hill
spirit by both alumni and students.

Y. M. C. A.

The Y. M. C. A. meetings have
made a good start under the presidency
of Andrew Ellis.
We found that the “Y” has been
laboring under difficulties for the first
few weeks because of other activities
which have filled the interest of the
fellows.
Plans are being made for frequent
socials during the winter months.
Work has started on the Y. M. C. A.
fund, and it is hoped that a substantial
increase may be made on it before the
closing of the school year.
With the start that the “ Y ” has
made, and with the efforts of the mem­
bers that are back of it we feel con­
fident that the organization will remain

25

an important factor throughout the
year.
Mr. Hamlin has been with us at
two meetings, and gave us interesting
talks which we all enjoyed — we hope
you may be with us again, Mr. Ham­
lin.
We were fortunate in having Mr.
Newton for our speaker at our second
meeting, and we are looking forward
to the time when he may speak to us
again.
The meeting of November 18 was
short, and Philip Greenleaf was elected
secretary.

Y. W. C. A.
The new officers in the Y. W. C. A.
are: President, Virginia McFadden;
Vice-President, Dorothy Hill; Secre­
tary. Mary Field, and Treasurer,
Verna Fickett.
The first meeting this year was held
in the Y. W. C. A. hall on Oct. 14th
and Mrs. Hamlen spoke on the sub­
ject of future work. Mrs. Hamlen is
the Y. W. C. A. counselor for this
year.
Meetings have been held every
Thursday night and the girls are
making up a Christmas box for the
children in the Near East.

Wm. F. Stahl, with 125 members of
the Tulsa Chamber of Commerce,
toured the East in an all-Pullman train
this spring, editing their own daily
newspaper and carrying an extensive
exhibit of Tulsa’s resources. In Balti­
more they were entertained by the
officials of the U. S. Fidelity &amp; Guar­
anty Co., of which Mr. Stahl is agent
in Tulsa, and the “ Bulletin ” of that
company states that “ ‘ Bill ’ Stahl was
the lion of the evening, and in a very
eloquent talk covered himself, the
Company and Tulsa with glory.”

Prof. J. Murray Carroll’s work as
debating coach at Bates has been
greatly appreciated both by the col­
lege and the people with whom he has
worked. At the last meeting of the
Debating Council last spring, John
Davis, Bates ’26, presented Prof. Car­
roll with a silver loving cup in behalf
of the Varsity debaters. He is presi­
dent of the Delta Sigma Rho chapter
of the National Debating Society.
His debating team this fall defeated
the Cambridge team which came over
from England.

R. Crawford McIlroy made a gift to
the Athletic Association this fall which

the border certainly helped win that
most desired game.

DEATHS
Hon. Waldo Pettingill
Hox Waldo Pettingill, member of
th*e Board of Trustees since 1902, died at
his home in Rumford at the age of eightytwo. He was prominent in the upbuilding
of Rumford, had served as county commis­
sioner six terms, state senator in 1890,
member of the Governor’s Council 1893-4,
representative to the legislature in 1900 and
and served as chairman of the Sturgis
Commission under Gov. Cobb. He was
known as the Father of the Town of Rum­
ford.
Mr. Fred E. Eastman, president of the
Board of Trustees, in writing of Mr. Pet­
tingill, says: “ As I recall him over quite
a span of years, it seems to me that his
judgment was invariably sound. He never
was hasty in his statements or decisions
but when he did speak his advice was fol­
lowed. He was a progressive man and
never hesitated to vote along the line of
any improvement that seemed to the ad­
vantage of the School, even if it took con­
siderable courage to venture. He was also
most generous in his gifts of money, never
failing to respond when called upon. The
fact of his connection with the School,
well-known as it has been, was of great
value to the school. He was devoted in a
wholehearted way to his Church (the
Methodist Episcopal) and I believe he took
great satisfaction in supporting this School
because of its connection with and because
of the support it always has received from
those in our State of that denomination.
It really seems to me that it is impossible
to fill the place of such a man as he was.
His going is a distinct personal loss to me.

THE KENT’S HILL BREEZE AND ALUMNUS

Nathan Webb, ’87

Alumni of the ’80s are sorry to learn
of the death of Nate Webb, in Pasadena,
California, Sept. 3, following a year or
two of poor health.
Mr. Webb entered the Seminary in the
spring term of 1887, rooming with our
Trustee, Carter B. Keene, Esq., of Wash­
ington, D. C. Nate was popular in school
and wielded a heavy stick in the baseball
team. He was a member of the Literati
society. After leaving school he taught
successfully in several places and was for
some years the principal of China Acad­
emy.

About fifteen years ago, Mr. Webb
moved to California where he worked as a
carpenter. For some years he was on
Mount Wilson, where he had charge of
the building of the Carnegie Observatory
and associated buildings.
As is well
known, this Observatory houses the largest
telescope in the United States, the hundred
inch reflector, the massive steel units of
the observatory had to be taken to the
summit of Mount Wilson, 6000 ft. in ele­
vation; no small feat in engineering in
itself. Nate’s sound common sense pre­
vailed over all obstacles. On completion
of the observatory, Mr. Webb purchased
the bus line from Pasadena to Mount Wil­
son, later expanding the business to include
two other lines, operating in all some
thirty or forty large busses. In this busi­
ness he associated with himself, his daugh­
ter, Ola Webb Hendricks, ’09, Mr. Frank
Hendricks, his son-in-law, and his brotherin-law, Edward Hamilton, ’87. The fail­
ing health of Mr. Webb led to the sale of
this successful business. A further sad
loss came in the death of his daughter,
Ola, who had been such a staunch support’
While a student at Kent’s Hill Mr. Webb
met Miss Ella Hamilton, ’87, whom he
later married and who survives her hus­
band. Mrs. Webb has the profound sym­
pathy of a wide circle of friends in the

double loss of Ola, whose death occurred
last January, and now her husband.
Ola was in the prime of her life, with
seemingly everything for which to live.
Active, energetic, possessed of the sound
common sense of her father, she was his
righthand supporter. She had a cool head
and when the need arose, could drive an
eighteen passenger bus up Mt. Wilson
with the best of the drivers. She left her
husband, Mr. Frank Hendricks, and two
children, Frank and Mildred.
’65

Within a few weeks of the death of
our beloved Miss Davis, one of her
lifelong friends, Mrs. Ellen Hatch
Parker, of Pasadena, Calif., passed
away. Mrs. Parker was Preceptress
here for several years at the beginning
of Miss Davis’ teaching and kept her
interest in the school as long as she
lived, though she never returned even
■ for a visit. She was born in Maine,
Dec. 9, 1843, and died in Pasadena,
Calif., July 15, 1926. In 1871 she
married Charles H. Parker, who had
also been a student and teacher at
Kent’s Hill and who died several
years ago. She was much interested
in the Woman’s Foreign Missionary
Society of the First M. E. Church of
Pasadena. Her love for our school is
shown in the following lines: —
" To far off lands our feet may stray
But wander where we will
The loveliest, dearest spot on earth
Will ever be — Kent’s Hill.”

Mrs. Henrietta Freeman Sampson,

Mrs. Ellen (Dunn) Spaulding, of
Belgrade, passed away this fall at the
age of 72 years. Her husband, Frank
P. Spaulding, ’78, and a daughter,
Mrs. Frances Hanna, survive her.

The school has lost a staunch
friend in the death of Wm. C. Robin­
son, of No. Anson. Mr. Robinson
was widely known as the famous rail­
road builder of Alaska; and also well
known for the keen interest he took in
orcharding, which he made his hobby
after his return to Maine. The
Alumnus extends sympathy to his
widow, Mrs. Evie Gray Robinson, ’83,
and family, two of whom are also old
students of the school, Mrs. Carrie
Robinson Wing, T3, and Miss Kate G.
Robinson, all of N. Anson.
As the Alumnus goes to press we
learn of the death of our trustee, Dr.
Willard A. Paul. Further notice will
be given in the next issue.
