As the years pass, the sharp­ ness of these scenes will grow indistinct, for time is not transparent; it is translucent. That these memories may not fade into realms of indis­ tinction and oblivion, we have bound within this volume facts and pictures of the Class of '59. Treasure this collection; it shall serve through the years as medium of clarity between you and these halcyon days at Kents Hill School. *» I! 1 I 5 *Wl �.

Thamarus I I I • I j ! This 1959 edition of POLARIS is dedicated with sincerity to "Mr. ’T,"’ for his infinite understanding of the students to whom he has given so ungrudgingly of his time; for his classroom attitude of wanting to help us rather than needing to discipline us. By means of this dedication we can perhaps express in some measure our gratitude for his sharing with us his vast knowledge of chemistry and biology. Never has he compelled us to leam, but rather has he created within us the desire to learn. iM Above all, we recognize his unvarying friendship to each of us; and we recall the hours he has given in the timing of our meets, his driving us to the doctor's, to church, to the airport and to the station. Mr. "T" : for what you have given us above and beyond the confines of textbook, classroom, and campus, we, the Class of 1959, salute you, and acclaim you with pride: Our Dedicatee! 8 "Consider the mollusk: hardshelled and silent." �William Warren Dunn IK Arthur A.

That diagonal blemish is a crack in the origional glass picture. February 27th, the Kents Hill School--whose corporate name is the "Maine Wesleyan Seminary”—celebrated her 135th birthday. Pictured at top is the Abel W. Pottle Historical Room in Ricker Hall. Here have been collected many mementoes which hark back through the years to classes of an era long-since passed away. That "Schoolmaster's Desk" was the one-time property of the late Dr. H. P. Torsey, for 38 years Headmaster of the school. Beside it is his easy chair, an interesting study in 19th Century ideas of relaxation. The shelves house the records of the four "Societies," which for over a century furnished the social life of the school. Scrapbooks, albums, diaries, bound editions of the "Breeze" and the "Alumnus" present vividly the life at "The Hill" as far back as the days of President Monroe. Score­ books which tell in detail of early baseball games have been preserved here; and more recently there have been added some of the tape-recorded reminiscences of the late J. O. Newton, as he recalled his seventy years association with the school. Yes, this Historical Room is a tangible link with the traditions which make Kents Hill one of the more renowned schools throughout New England. 24 « « �r ■w-- • r. *'> - 1k UNDERCLASSMEN nW iSMM w 5» �Juniors Ff FRONT ROW, (L.-R.): J.

It must be acknowledged that dormancy has intermitted with sporadicity. When the first BREEZE rolled off the press, November 11, 1882, it ended a news "blackout" that had been in effect since the CALLIOPEAN went kaputt in the spring of 1878. With but two interruptions, the BREEZE has conveyed such news as the arrival of the first phono­ graph on campus, the ground-breaking ceremonies for Blethen and Ricker Halls as well as of the Newton Gymnasium. But the one item that really rocked the campus was madein comparatively recent times; the repeal of the "NoDancing-What-so-ever' law! The fall issue for 1922 announces the first showing of movies here. Sports news and gossip have always been the most popular features; and in the old days, alumni news was incorporated. Striving to place the old paper into its former niche of prominence, David Mayo, Editor-in-Chief this year, effected a new format and demanded that all material meet certain standards. He promulgated the edict that greater discretion be exerted in the accepting of copy. To regain the glory which the BREEZE once knew is a goal still in the far distant future; however his success in energizing the historic periodical has propelled it perceptibly forward. The final achievement, of course, lies in the hands of future Editors-in-Chief. I | Choir FRONT: Jean Adams, J. Parker, Mary Parkhill, J. Snyder, M. Fisher, J. Favor, L. Albin, J. MacLauchlan, S.

Participating regularly in the SundayEyening Vesper Services, the group has presented several concerts among which was the highly-commended program in Rcadfield. A high point of the Christmas activities was the annual Candlelight service at the Torsey Memorial Church here in the village. On May 2nd the choir was one of the organizations at the Maine Independent School Music Festival in Bridgeton. The group, under the baton of student-director Norman Monsur, contributed greatly to the effectiveness of the graduation exercises. 30 ij n �Tcrtin OFFICERS OF »DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN" ■>DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN" 1958-1959 FRONT ROW, L. to R.: Morris Pelion, Wm.

A CORNER OF THE CLUBROOM. „Der Deutsche Verein, organized October 1, 1957, enables students of German to gather, either for social or profes­ sional programs, in the Germanic setting of their own club­ rooms. Among the diversified programs this season, the outstanding was Mr. Fosse's address on Beethoven. When, in April, the Society brought to "The Hill" that extremelypopular danceband, "The Javalins," the name of..Der Deutsche Verein" made headlines. This highly-successful jaunt was the club's first independent venture into the social whirl of the school. The greater part of their work is done in private meetings. The "Certificate of Merit," awarded annually at Commencement by ..Der Deutsche Verein” to the highest ranking two-year German student, was presented this year to Andrew J. Notis.

A. or !l Resident girls at Kents Hill select a sport eacn season in which they may serve as a member of a team, or as a partner in a "duo." They may even choose a "carry-over" sport--that is to say, an individual sport. The girls receive a certain number of points based upon a system given for active participation on teams, cheerleading, com­ mittees, et cetera. These awards are made at the sports banquet. In addition to athletics, the G.A.A. sponsors many other events. In the fall the club sponsored a "Rare Pair" dance at which couples dressed alike and a prize was given to the "Rarest Pair" ! The Christ­ mas Formal, "Winter in Disneyland," was G.A.A.-sponsored; and in February a group of the girls worked diligently to feature a cake sale. The club's biggest event, however, was "B.E.R.P." weekend. (Boys' Economic Recovery Program.) Delving into their pocketbooks, the girls treated the boys to the entire weekend: an original talent show Friday night followed by a movie at the campus "Rialto"; a "Flapper Dance" Saturday evening at which all dressed in styles reminiscent o f the '20’s. And did those lads ever enjoy those hearty refreshments that the girls provided: Pizzas! 33 Officers of the G. A. A. SEATED, L. to R.: Martha Parkhill, Presi­ dent; Martha Peterson, Vice President.

All the sore muscles and bruises seemed worthwhile as our LEAVING FOR THE FIRST "AWAY GAME." warriors fought off a closing MCI rallyzto win 13-7. Follow­ ing a thorough spoiling of Fryeburg's Homecoming, 21-7, our boys journeyed to the camp of Arch-Rival, Hebron. An exciting, hard-fought-game'found us behind at the closing whistle: 24-16. In a return game, the MCI Undergrads found revenge with a 20-14; and Higgins edged us out in the last quarter 20-13. The final game of the season saw Kents Hill's offense in high gear as we ran over Holderness School of New Hampshire, 40-6, giving us a 3 and 3 record. / *'*v x. l ■-? : ■ Ldi 3»«1 IE = ~ KR"'1—V " IQM j ~ ? j ... > V’ U ^30^42^407* -.w v ■■ —iti-c U 3< X itSik -.4 mJ ■.•-.J .■/L jc .x ‘w r.« 32^2o7— A I n : '> '<.. ~W j FRONT ROW, L. to R.: Wm.

Remem­ bering last year's loss at Holderness, the Kents Hill kickers were burning with revenge. With Smokey Sterling passing the offense by scoring two goals, and with the superb performance of Bill "Scratch" MacBride as goalkeeper, Kents Hill emerged with a 3-2 Victory. Eight lettermen will be returning to The Hill next fall: "Smokey" Sterling, ace defenseman, Geo. Quackenbos whose big shoe was invaluable, and 3-time letter winner, Dave McConnell. There will be some fill-ins from the J.V.’s among whom are John Litchfield, Bill Dyer, and Dick Clark. Losing only four out of eleven games, the varsity played its toughest schedule since the games were started here at "The Hill" four years ago.

His throwing the javelin over 150 feet kept him the scoring column in every meet. Others were Sam Ayres: dash man, hurdler, high and broad jumper and javelin.

UK MOST INTELLIGENT Dianne Douglas Mike Whalon Senior Superlatives The Class of 1959 presents that select company which typifies the aesthetic element of their group. •" • By popular vote of the Class of 1959, these are they! BEST DANCERS Dave Mayo Nancy Heal i Z-', . ■ - <■»' ■ ■, ■ ■ - �*%• BEST DRESSED Jean McLauchlan and David the Mayo • II ■ • THE FRIENDLIEST Caught in a friendly (? !) moment of hair-pulling and scratching: Scratch MacBride and Linda "Herself" Albin. THE MOST TALENTED Equally versatile at repairing a "live" lamp with a hammer and a screwdriver or swinging from branches! —Vito Caggiano and Joan Snyder. 63 �■■ r ■ ar *.** r CLASS CLOWNS Bruce Baccke, Superlative Class-Clown, was ill at home when we took these pictures; therefore his roommate and runner-up for the title, Dave Parsons, pinch-hitted. Caught by Mr. Ford's camera is Dave giving Adele Chesterton the "Hot Foot," while she salts his coffee! MOST AMBITIOUS "Scratch" MacBride and Martha Parkhill interpreting the role of proprietors of Atwood's store. (Notice Martha's hand on the scales--and Scratch's coat looks vaguely familiar!) SHYEST Making like a couple of "Kilroys," Fred True and Evelyn Sylvester peer stealthily at the swaying dancers whom they are too shy to join! li 4 I ■ CLASS SWEETHEARTS As Rosemary Rogers leaves the dorm—and without signing out, too! ! —Bob Hall waits nervously with Mr. Engborg's car. One can only guess whether Bob is concerned about "Rommie's" descent or Mr. Engborg's pos­ sible arrival! MOST DEPENDABLE It would be interesting, to guess just how "Scratch" and Judy plan to explain to Mrs. Roy why they're removing the hub caps of her car! If Rollie LaValee succeeds in taking the picture before she appears, all is well.

Sincerely, Peter Roberts Polaris Advisor 1 �Dedication: Mr. Jeff Beedy In our senior assembly this year we paid tribute to Mr. Jeff Beedy for his “out going” spirit and talent in all fields of school life. Throughout the year we experienced all the many gifts this diverse individual had to offer. He taught a challeng­ ing and always stimulating academic agenda in the form of psychology and sociology. On the ski slope and playing field we saw him as a dedicated coach promoting his athletes on with endless energy, and culturing their ability with his great knowledge of the various sports. Mr. Beedy has also served as a major source of creativeness, giving and arranging a multitude of musical performances. In all walks of school life Mr. Beedy has given himself in a most honorable way seeking to enrich our lives. He has been a great example, we were often inspired by his creativity and excitement. We the Class of 1982 take our hats off to you Mr. Beedy! Thank you for making our year at Kents Hill one we will never forget! May you continue to serve people in your most sincere way. We will surely miss you next year. Bye Beeds, take care!! Michael Martin ’82 1^1 2 �L | - • L': 1 ■ “From Friends to a Friend It’s a lonely road I’m travelin and yes it does sometime hurt inside. At this age and time it is hard to run and know just when to hide. But there is a light right around the corner. It’s in the shape of a man with a child and a wife by his side. He has no magic cure for ailments, but just a heart for peoples cries. If I can remember back a few years confused? No, just growing tears but whose is this hand out to touch me, a hand that bleeds with ours it must be, one who knows the pain attempts to stop the rain, with Mister Sunshine! So here’s Mister Sunshine with the love he brings breaking through like sharks out of light in this murky din, and we love him. So it is into the world we go an everchanging state. Deep in our hearts we will keep his smiles and crazy ways. His warmth to bring you out of a cold mood. The song he sings you into smile! He shall forever be remembered. So here is a love song to brighten up your day, from friends to a friend who shall forever know our ways. So here is something special, for our hearts are with you, and I know you feel it too, the joy, frustration, and pain of our days. “Mister Sunshine” by Butch Roxas ’82 3 �I v j / ■ I “JourneyThrough Life, Create New Opportunity, Open New Vistas, Improve the World” During these past four years, it has been the mission of the school to sharpen and to refine a set of “tools” which you possessed on arrival and which you will need as you proceed on your journey through life. The tools to which I refer are unlike those traditionally used in building a structure or remodeling an inanimate object and yet their power and effectiveness is many time's stronger. They are the “tools” of the intellect, of the spirit and of the emotions. Used properly, they can overcome any obstacle, open new vistas or create new opportunity. The school provided the protective environment. The faculty provided counsel and encouragement. Your friends and peers offered competition and affirmation. Each of these resources brought you one step further toward the mature being where “tools” will be most helpful. You are on sound footing; the future is a new challenge. I wish you well on this new journey. I can’t be with you as you face new experiences, but I am confident that your decisions will be lor the good of all and that you shall use the “tools” for the improvement of your world. Wish best wishes always, I remain. Sincerely, Donald M.

Given any kind of daylight it was usually over for the opposition. He will at­ tend Trinity College in the fall of '82. 26 �Post-Grads Land Brooke First Conference Championship Huskie pride and six outstanding post-grads gave the Kents Hill School its first Evergreen Conference Championship. The season began quickly as our team mowed down opponent after opponent until parents weekend when we suffered defeat at the hands of Hampden Academy 15-13. The Huskies bounced back to win the reamining games of the season and the conference championship. We were very strong in the backfield with All-Mass, running back Todd McAniff who is now attending UMO on a football grant. The 6'1" 205 pound running back was completely devastating in the open field. Blessed with tremendous speed he was tough to bring down as was All-State half back Mike Dolan. Dolan also proved to be a real team leader. Crunching fullback Ron Dingwell out of Revere, Mass, picked up thenecessary yards up the middle. Joel Comer terrorized defen­ sive backs with his speed. In the meantime the defense was anchored KB by linebacker Chris Currier, a former All-State teammate of McAniff from Newburyport, Mass. Jim Walsh did the quarterbacking. No one knows what next year will bring but it is safe to say that this team’s play will be difficult to match. i >8 I I a ' r i Todd McAniff, big, fast and UMO bound led the team in rushing. b- Joey Macomber kicks the extra point.

The girls proved that were not about to go through the season unnoticed in the wake of a successful boy’s football season. Leading the offensive parade was Vanessa Walling with 13 goals. Other scorers included Rhonda Bryant at center forward, Sue Gann at right inner, Jackie Gillen at right wing and Kim Sullivan at center half. Sullivan may prove to be one of the best fieldhockey players ever to set foot on the KH field. Debbie Miller held down the goal position after Kirstin Geldhof was injured. Very little got by Miller in the goal as she often frustrated opposing teams and coaches. On the defense we had such stalwarts as Sarah Worth, Monica Shiel, and Lynda Manheimer. Next year looks bright with a number of varsity players returning along with improving JV players. Sarah Worth winds up for the pass. Vanessa Walling was a deadly terror to opposing goalies.

We were blessed with some fine talent but half-way into the season the team found itself in the middle of an identity crisis. The character of the team was tested time and time again. We adjusted and played better as seen against Bates College frosh. We lost but it was a very close an well played game throughout. Our season was highlighted with a fine 4-2 overtime vic­ tory against Gould. Scout Wuerthner was the MVP of the season. Wge Ellis won the “Plaque Award.” Sean O’Connell represented speed at midfield and Mike Martin became the team leader. 32 �e«’ w >1 i z Beale goes high for the head. Coach Olsen often found his team one goal shy of victory. Henry Ogden might find himself playing the sweeper position next year. 33 �JR IB 3 A-*! Kftj-j' 2jzo I 3 17^ -C 4 BaUreS1 K1 <7.1. .

The record is only a small part of much of the success that took place. There were a number of good individual performances from John Barbarisi and Bob Newell. Jeff Beale, a starter on the varsity soccer team was the team’s number two man behind Barbarisi. Keith Stuart was the team’s most improved runner while Barbarisi won the most valuable player award. Barbarisi was only defeated once during the season. Coach Waller is optimistic about next year with many of runners returning. 7 Coach Waller J CROSS-COUNTRY: left front, J. Barbarisi, S. King, J.

They began the year by winning three out of their first four games. A remarkable feat in light of the fact that they already had won more games than in the previous two years com­ bined. Coach Holly Getz was optimistic in the early part of the season that things might turn out well. The team finished the season with a very impressive 8-5 record. The team was led by Kim Sullivan who usually scored double figures and grabbed as many rebounds. Rhonda Bryant, an excellent ball-handling guard also contributed to the point production. Barbara Armstrong improved tremendously as the season progressed. Tracy Sachs and Sharon Higgins gave added strength off the bench. In all our girls team is to be commended with their coach for one of the best efforts seen in history. Coach Holly Getz knew the game well. a [**■ I t--'. taS S * A ‘ I ! Winning is nice.

Our ski teams for the first time in near­ ly four years were able to utilize the ski hill as early as Thanksgiving, and from that point on the snow never stopped. The use of edging and carved turns was emphasized. Our team’s endurance was built with some hard running of the ski hill in boots. Coach Beedy carried a large squad this year of about 30 athletes. Returning racers were Don Deats, Andy Ezequelle, Ken Epstein, Andy Webster, Trace Robertson, and Jock Wright. The girls team consisted of Lynda Manheimer, Vanessa Walling, and Kirstin Geldhof and Sarah Worth. Our team faired well against some stiff competition. Don Deats came on strong as did Jock Wright. Tom Utter will be graduating. The coach can look forward to having Ezequelle, and Wright back. It is too early to tell at this point but coach Beedy is again expecting 1983 to bring lots of new snow and talent.

The skillful DiGiulian broke Mark Marshall’s record ’80 of 31 goals. DiGiulian had plenty of scoring sup­ port from MVP Steve Cotton. Doug Stinson proved to be devastating in the goal. Stinson will be back for another year. The Huskie’s season was highlighted with a trip to Hyde to play the Maine Prep All-Stars. The game was close throughout. Our team played brilliantly in that game losing by a one goal margin. Next year looks promising with a number of returning let­ termen in the likes of Joey Macomber, Paul Jones, Mark Bos, Jock Wright, Corey Judd, Jim McCoskey, Ron Gee, Pete Zoch, Wayne Ran­ dall, and Dan O’Hara.

Crane Awaits 1983 Season It was another long season for Coach Dick Crane. The girls softball team found it difficult enough to learn the basic skills let alone trying to compete against teams that were experienced. At times our team looked like the female version of the “Bad News Bears.” About the only thing missing was a camera crew to record it on film. Never­ theless there were some strong players like Kim Sullivan and Rhonda Bryant. They are to be commended for their Kim Sullivan will be back for 83.

Our team however did about as well as they could considering how inex­ perienced they were. They were built on younger talent and played well as a team. There were also a few in­ dividuals that stood out. Experienced and skilled athletes like David Hjorth at first and pitchers Chris Shipe and Bain Walling. These people provided the nucleus of a team that played gallantly when the going was tough. Bain Walling was excellent on the mound. Chris Shipe J ! •'’ \.

They finished the season with a very good record of 7 wins and 5 losses. Big wins came over strong Hyde and Hebron teams. Leading the way was number one singles player Barbara Armstrong and number two singles player Jackie Gillen. The number one doubles team of Jane Alvord and Molly Bando proved to be solid for the season. Gillen, Alvord and Moulton will be graduating but the team can look forward to some strong players returning next year in the likes of Cindy Curry and Linda Manheimer.

What more can be said about someone who long jumps over 21 feet, pole vaults 13 feet, triple jumps 42 feet, hurdles in 15.2, throws the javelin 175 feet, runs sub 5 in the mile. It is easy to understand why Jeff Beale was selected the MVP of the track team. In all it was a good season for our track team. Other impressive performances came from Barbarisi in the mile and two mile. Bobby Newell also proved to be strong in the middle distances. He will be returning for the 1983 season. New comers to the sport were Steve Lebowitz, a big strong runner in the 440 and 880. He will be somebody to watch in ’83 along with Bill Bird, who demonstrated as a freshman that he has excellent speed and jumping ability. Ken Epstein gave our team points in the weight events along with John Walker, David Hjorth and lacrosse star Joey Macomber.

The faculty member responsible for bringing girls’ lacorsse comes from the middle Atlantic region of the country which is an area that has been a tradi­ tional “hotbed” in lacrosse for many years. Ms. Betsy Bowen, a former All-American college player was anxious to start a program at Kents Hill that could compete with other Maine private schools. At the start of the season, sixteen girls tried out for the team, and twelve of those eventually became varsi­ ty players who did battle against Gould, Hebron, and Waynelete. It is a remarkable testimony to those athletes that they were able to compete against and eventually beat teams which fielded serious and seasoned lacrosse players. Our team had to learn the skills and strategy of the game from scratch. In five games, we scored 35 goals against the opponents and scored a major victory in the final game of the season against Waynelete. Since the tradition of lacrosse has gained strong spirit and enthusiasm at the school from the boys’ faction, it will be no surprise to see girls’ lacrosse program rise to greatness at KH in the years to come. Congratulations to the 1982 Girls’ Lacrosse team for starting a fine tradition. I I f ■ ’ i k.

Students and faculty were offered a wide variety of programs. In all there was something for everybody. For example the program began with some light entertainment in the Buckfield Leather and Lather Show. Not only were they entertain­ ing but the audience was presented the idea as to how theatre began in America. The classical arts programs came in the form of The Portland String Quartet and the Boston Shakespeare Company. The final programs ended on a Igihter note with the Mime World of Tony Montonaro and the Art of Black Dance and Music, a program which “rocked” our campus. Many peo­ ple are to be thanked for bringing a great program to the students of Kents Hill. Much of the recognition must go to Mr. Rand Erb who organized the committee that chose the programs. The members of that committee were Mr. George Dunn, Mr. Jeff Beedy and Mrs. Sandy Elder. We the Class of ’82 would like to thank all those who helped bring to our campus these great artists. — Bob Stone ’82 57 �Snow Helps Promote Winter Carnival Spirit Ceasar would have been proud of us for trying to emulate the theme of Ancient Rome for Winter Car­ nival 1982. The spirit of Rome was high in the air but dare say the Romans would have been a little surprised at the massive amounts of snow which covered our campus. The various teams took to the snow. On the corners of campus the Roman Empire was being built in the form of snow sculptures. In the meantime, basketball, volleyball and broomball were being played at various times and places around the campus. Much of the. success of the Carnival must be attributed to Joe Sommers. At the winter dance we honored the King, Bob Allen and Queen, Fan­ ny Esformes. The band was great. — Kirstin Geldhof’82 I k o Ji “Cupid” Bob Allen and Fanny Esformes 1 Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs, Fanny ESformes, Ed LaKomec, Bob Allen 58 in �59 �Springfest ’<■W| 60 �“Roar of Greasepaint” Turns Ricker Hall Into Land of Enchantment “Overture! Hit the lights.” This is it! And, oh, what heights they hit! In late March, Ricker Hall burst alive with the sounds of rehearsal ancT songs such as “A Wonderful Day Like Today,” “My First Love Song,” and “Who Can I Turn To” reverberated down the stairwell. And this was the only sweet beginning! Six weeks later, with the help of the entire campus the spunky cast under Mr. Robinson, and Mrs. Rotondo, enchanted students, faculty, parents and townspeople for three consecutive performances at Springfest. Names like Cocky, Sir, The Kid, and all those slightly bizarre Urchins became household words ... well, at least in this Household. The musical, written by English writers Anthony B. Nenly and Leslie Bricusse, met rave reviews and by far was the most technically complex Kents Hill show to date. Sir and Cocky, from two different classes, meet to play the game and by the end, Cocky got a tad of understanding. Sir got told off, and the audience simply got a spectacular show that they will be humming about for years to come! J — Rob as “S r" IL ’ ' 1’ Bob Stone as Cocky The Urchins fl CAST Sir.............

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

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

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

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

These qualities consist of an easygoing attitude, good sense ot humor, tairness, dedication and always one to lend a helping hand. As a coach he teaches skills to help his players achieve goals while at the same time makes it a fun experience. His disposition in the classroom creates a productive environment tor learning Many times one may pass his classroom and hear his jovial laugh echoing down the hall or him crack a dry but humorous joke His unending willingness to spend time with students in the dorm, in the classroom, in the gym and on the playing fields is greatly appreciated. His support to our senior class and the senior classes ot past years has helped complete the countless functions that are a vital part of every senior class. This is this teacher s tourth year as a member of the K H community. He will be leaving this year with many of the seniors who were treshmen his tirst year He has always been a close friend to everyone here, and he will be misseci by the students and col­ leagues "A man for all seasons" he is one always with a big smile, a positive at­ titude. a helping hand and a real openness towards all students.

I have not known any other recognition greater thus far in my life. The "Polaris" is a symbol of many good values we cherish in our nation. As graduates of the Kents Hill School ready to venture into the world, I encourage you to promote these values in the universe that you inhabit. Humanity is crying for leadership, courage, fortitude and honor. The Class of '83 represents hope for the future. Mr. Jeff Beedy said it well in his address to the senior assembly. His message was that we will become richer individuals when we have given "100%" of ourselves in a good way. I would once again like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Hansen for their help in putting together this book of memories. Also, I would like to thank josh Eichenhorn for what he has done over a four year period. Thanks as well for Greg Galeota. Finally, I would like to recognize Ion Long for the beautiful poetry found on the first page and the last page of this book.

The boy's football team began on a strong note posting two shutouts over Proc­ tor and Maranacook. Parents day weekend rolled around but there was no game. Blame not the weather or disease or the other team's failure to show. The fact of the matter was simple, there wasn't any team to play. For some unexplained reason there was never any game scheduled for that date. So, momentum broken, and in the words of head Coach Newton Brooke, "That break in the schedule hurt us without question." A freak play against Holderness cost the Huskies a win in the following week. A batted pass followed by a defensive tackle catch subsequently running for 65 yards for a TD turned out to be the worst kind of luck one could ever dream of but it happened. Bad weather hurt the Huskies' play against Hebron and Tilton. The team finished with a 3-5 record. Joe Driscoll was selected All-League quarterback. John Morey, Tom MacDonald, Joe Macomber were also named All-League for their football laurels. The JV team was undefeated in the prep league. They are to be commended for a fine season. The best in the business, Joe Driscoll will be trying his arm out next year at U-Mass. I • i THE SENIORS — Left, Front: Tom MacDonald. Dave Roderick.

Field Hockey Team and Season Respectable Coaches Meg Rand and Betsy Bowen were satisfied with a successful fall for 1982. The Team finished with a 6-5-1 record. It was deemed particularly good in light of the fact that our team was one with many new faces. Led by high scorer Kim Sullivan, Huskie field hockey traveled the state playing an exciting brand of hockey. Next year's team will miss the services of seniors Sarah Worth, Lynda Manheimer, Sandy Starr, Cindy Curry, and Kim Sullivan. These people are to be commended for their fine efforts in Kents Hill field hockey play. Next year's team can look forward to the likes of Lisa Loughlin, Sue Gann, Temole Parker and Dina Darling returning. These players should make a strong core in which to mold another team around. JV field hockey under coach Betsy Bowen logged a positive season as the team continued to master new skills throughout the fall. Led by players Judi Hansen, Mary Ann Collela the squad came together to play some inspiring games as winter approached. 27 �UW»| .fl- f ' ' '.S;*trK ;««■*. Sarah Worth and Sue Cann rejoice.

It was truly a season any coach would be proud of. It was a season full of surprises which included victories over the Bates College frosh, two key victories over Gould and a stunning victory over Fryeburg. Goalie Steve Smith was named first team All-Star as was veteran Ron Gee. Henry Odgen, Wayne Randall, John Cartledge, Corey Judd were named to the All-Star second team. Jeff Beale was chosen by his teammates as the MVP for his efforts as a sweeper back. Blessed with tremendous speed, Beale broke up opposing offensive drives time after time. Chris Galeota plugged the middle on defense while on the wings the team was blessed with the talent of Steve Lebowitz and Henry Odgen. Veteran player Ron Gee once again did it all. The very talented Gee played both ways. As a for­ ward his speed proved to be too difficult for most if not all the fullbacks around the league. On offense, he scored a number of important goals. He is to be commended for a fine 4 year career and the team of 1983 is also to be lauded for one great season. �Cartledge and "New Breed" Provide High Flying Excitement on Ice While most of us were sleeping, the Huskie hockey was practicing their game in the Kennebec Ice Arena. These odd workout hours did not stop the team from experiencing one of the most successful seasons in recent past. In past years the team has had to struggle just to post a winning season, but under new head coach Kevin Matson and assistant Coach Mike Elberty and a "new breed” of Huskie Icemen things turned dramatically. One must give a lot of credit to the play of goalie Chris Galeota. A fine athlete, Galeota displayed finesse and experience. Recognition must also be given to Kevin Gill and Jeff Len­ non for their defensive laurels. John Cartledge led the of­ fensive parade. Strong and crafty Cartledge scored an amazing 27 goals. Bob Pope's offensive moves dazzled opponents as well as fans. Bob Callahan, another "offen­ sive weapon” had according to his coach Kevin Matson a terrific knack for being around the goal at the right time. The season was highlighted with a tour to Canada in which the team came back with a two game sweep. In addition there were some blistering victories over Bridgton Acad. NYA, (the second best team in the state). The Huskies lost close games to Bowdoin JVs and the number one team in Maine, Lewiston.

Cartledge led the league in scoring. This amazing player was a joy to watch skate. He could do it all. 31 �Dry Land Training Beneficial to Skiers in Snowless Season Despite a lack of snow, hard work paid off for this year's ski teams. Our Alpine A boys team ended up second as a team in the Class A regionals with Chris Cavin capturing a first place in the slalom. Cavin, from Colorado, displayed a positive attitude throughout the season in spite of the fact that the skiing was far from what he had been used to. Only a junior, he should be a top contender next year. Corey Judd and Jock Wright tied for third in the MAISAD private league in the slalom. Judd in the words of his coach seemed to realize his potential in his senior year. The boys Alpine B team won the State slalom. Leading the way was David Lewis. Our coach, Jeff Beedy was 1 of 45 selected to the U.S. ski school team, where he trained with the Mahre brothers. Mr. Beedy brought to Kents Hill many of the dry land training techniques that he learned at the school. These exercises included a diverse array of activities like roller skating. The girls ended their z Alpine season at .500. Sarah Worth and Lynda Manheimer proved to be steady competition. u / / J J *■ ■L* a «l»l 5 Hl i Jock Wright * Trace Robertson ft ALPINE B - Left, Front: Coach John Rand, Soug Stinson, Dave Lewis, Tiggy Howard, Curt Jamison, Brett Paul, John Stiefel, Bob Moser, John Dumser, Andy Webster, Jason Naylor, Bart Bartholomew, Joe Paloni, Keith Pruitt, Coach Jeff Beedy. 32 _____ ____ ________ ___ Chris Cavin �Coach Jeff Beedy Departs, Contributions Remain The year 1983 marked the end of Mr. Jeff Beedy's coaching career at the Kents Hill School. We are all saddened by his departure from the community, but the community will always be proud of his accomplishments and contributions he has made to the ski program. Over the years Mr. Beedy has attempted to instill a sense of pride in the many athletes he has coached in skiing. He has taught young skiers about skiing as a total sport. Maintaining equipment has been just as important as ski technique. Mr. Beedy has emphasized the importance of good sportsmanship in skiing and how it relates as a part to cone's whole lifetime experience. He has sought to build a program where all levels of skiers could enjoy success. The em­ phasis was on skiing as a team sport not an individual one. For Jeff Beedy, team commitment was the most important ingre­ dient for success. Winning, however, was not an end goal. The centerpiece for Mr. Beedy’s ski program was fun and development. When asked what he will miss about coaching skiing at Kents Hill, Mr. Beedy replied, "The interaction with (the kids, building confidence in students and showing them how it applies to real life experiences has been my number one jgoal." There is a tear in our eye, Mr. Beedy, over your departure, but we are comforted by the fact that what you have •contributed will remain with the school forever. The Class of 1983 salutes you for all you have done. We wish you the very Ibest of luck in the future! — Jock Wright V.' r \ • Corey Judd in search of snow.

Most of the scoring in meets was provided by three freshmen: John Waller, Judi and John Hansen. These are people to watch in the future. Coach Peer Kling had high praise for Judi Hansen and John Waller, both showed themselves very respec­ table in the MAISAD meet. Rounding out the team were Keith Stewart, Brett Ketchum, Damon Meyer, Duke Waddell and Chris Rollins. veg •« - • Judi Hansen J John Hansen / 'or I s L t HF ' •; Left: Keith Stewart, John Hansen, Brett Ketchum, Jock Wright Damon Meyer, coach Jim Ruzika, Duke Waddell, Judi Hansen, Chris Rollins, John Waller.

The team in spite of the fact that it finished the season wvith a 9-7 record lacked consistency and momentum in corder for head coach Bruce Corrill to call it a completely suc­ cessful season. "We were up for some games and could Fplay exceptionally well while at other times we were not rmentally prepared and showed it on the court,” said Corrill. "The team was also plagued with injuries from time to time. "The brunt of the scoring came from John Morey, an agjgressive post-grad, known for his triumphs in football. Gorcdon Jones took care of the ball-handling duties. Jones a ’veteran player, moved the ball up and down the court with Igreat skill. John Lyons proved to be very capable of picking iup the scoring duties from time to time. A deceptive : shooter, he scored 26 points against Hebron in a winning 'cause. Joe Macomber provided bulk and hulk under the I boards. Fred Rozzi, injured most of the season gave the I Huskies a legitimate center. Tom MacDonald and Joe Driscoll gave speed and size to the line-up. Dave Roderick, Charles Gilliat, Jamie Greenlaw added bench strength. The season was highlighted with an impressive win over Gould. John Morey scored 30 or more points several times. The JV team was led by center Jeff Boston and guard Bill Bird. Together, these players averaged 30 points a game.

First year coach Pam Marcil cited hard work and dedication as other factors that resulted in a tremendous record of 12 wins and 2 losses. The lady hoopsters were devastating off the boards. They were led by Kim Sullivan who was always in an excellent position to snag a key rebound. Sullivan had plenty of help under the boards in the likes of Dina Darling and Sharon Donohue. Sandy Starr, MVP, with her nifty passes and uncanny shooting excited fans in a way that one wonders if we will ever see anything like her again. Picking up the scoring duties was a smooth, quick and smart point guard named Lisa Loughlin. She proved to be too quick for most if not all defenders to guard against. Lough in another prolific scorer, could hit from anywhere on the floor. Sharon Higgins and Lee Ailes were also strong contributors. Rita Crudden and Traci Cook improved daily. The season was highlighted with over­ time victories and one point wins. It was a season that saw the team win 8 out of 9 games in one stretch. It was a team noted for smooth and accurate passing on a consistent basis. Sullivan, Starr and Darling wait for the rebound. Front, Left: Kim Sullivan, coach Pam Marcil, Sandy Starr.

And so will Dina Darling. 38 �Talent Evident in Spite of Weather Rain turned out to be the girl's i most difficult opponent in 1983. Just when things looked to be turning in favor for our softball team, coach Dick Crane found himself notifying the team of another cancellation. The team never got a chance to put their abilities to full use because of one of the worst springs in terms of weather ever seen. Nevertheless, when given the chance to play it became evident that there was some excellent talent on this team. When Kim Sullivan pitched it was a sure win. Sharon Donohue worked well with the pitchers behind the plate. The team ended the season 2-5, a record clearly not indicative of their ability. 1 Sharon "Phil” Donohue safe at home.

Despite the weather, the team completed the season with a 4-3 record It was a season short but one with many highlights. A 5-4 win over Hebron and a 7-6 win over NYA proved that this team was not one to choke. In the very last game of the season Brett Paul struck out 14 batters. He will be returning. Joe Driscoll was also an outstanding pitcher. Paul, Mike Pozzy, Frank Crooker, Chris Drake, Glenn Jamison and Danny Eichen will provide a solid foundation for next year's team.

The boy's matches were usually close much of the season, often losing by a 3-2 margin. Players who were outstanding were Alex Stevenson (7-1), Henry Odgen and Joel Turney. Turney number one singles player made it to the MAISAD semi-finals. Henry Odgen upset NYA's no. 1 singles player. Although the girls didn't win a match, it is significant that some very good talent will be returning for another year. Temple Parker, Amy Hillman and Amy Marr should provide a solid foundation for next year's team. The weather proved to be a definite factor in that much like the girl's softball team, cancelled matches thwarted the talent from surfacing. A fine athlete. Temple Parker will be back for '84.

More Tennis Action -J A / 45 �Galeota and Comrades Crush Opponents Coach John Rand knew before the season started that with 17 returning lettermen the season could prove to be signifi­ cant. Coach Rand at the end of the season found that he had understated his expectations. The 1983 boys' lacrosse season turned out to be a stellar one. There were many highlights in this near perfect 10-1 season, but perhaps the high point was Chris Galeota and the new school record he established. A scoring machine, Galeota was the greatest goal threat in the prep ranks. He pumped in 39 goals and dished out a few assists for a total of 54 points. There were other people who could score like All-Star game MVP Corey Judd, he had 20 goals and 28 points on the season. Paul Jones, an allaround athlete found himself with a 16 goal campaign. Doug Stinson headed up the defense with 205 saves in goal. The plaque winner Ward Turco, was the best face-off man in the business. His percentages were described by Rand as "unreal." Mark Bos, Joe Macomber, Chris-Jon Klopstock, Dave Berger, Greg Galeota, Ronnie Gee shored up the "D." I ■ Head coach John Rand graduated from Kents Hill in 1976. Lacrosse then was just beginning.

While the varsity seemed to be capturing all of the attention, the JV lacrosse was just minding their own business but in a very big way. They finished the season 6-3. That was good news but the best news of the season was winning the JV tournament at Could Academy.

It was a game in which everybody got to play in front of one of the biggest fan turnouts ever seen at the Hill. The Kents Hill starters were the following. Doug Stinson, goalie, had excellent quickness and anticipation and strength, only a junior Joe Macomber, at 6'2” 220 pounds, he represents an excellent college prospect Maco has excellent mobility for a big man Mark Bos directed the defense A spirited player, oc­ cupied the crease, one of the hardest positions on the field to play. Ron Gee, the quickest man of defense. Paul Jones had all the moves, learned the game fast according to Rand He knew how to read the attack and was adept at getting open Ward Turco, an outstanding face-off man Ward was the first on the field and last off. He proved to be a capable leader and instructor often helping younger players at the game Wayne Randall, outstanding director on offense Wayne was one interested in formulating plays with the coaching staff He demonstrated a true desire in wanting the team to look good Corey Judd, small, quick and crafty, he was the MVP of the All-Star game In spite of his size he was one that was never intimidated Chris Galeota, for Chris "los­ ing" the word, was not part of his vocabulary. He was one of the most ex­ plosive goal scorers in the history of the school Dave Berger, perhaps one of the most improved players of the year He could take hits and give hits well.

True, there were some difficult moments for coach Bowen and her players. Time, however, has an amazing way of putting things in perspective. It was a season that many players improved by the minute. Some of these players like Rita Crudden, Kari Rasmussen, Janet Boldt, Sue Bridge, Lisa Loughlin and Tanya Morgan had never seen the game, let alone played it, until coming to Kents Hill. To watch them improve was remarkable. There were very few veterans on this team but the ones who were present represented some fine talent. Kirsten Patey led the team on offense, Sarah Worth was a workhorse on the field as was Jenn Barron. Sharon Higgins could put on a show in the goal, Kris Jensen and Jane Webb shored up both the offense and defense when called upon. ■j Sarah Worth and teammates taking a break. Jenn Barron checking.

This year s program was highlighted with the play "Same Time, Next Year” starring one of our own faculty members Mr. Peter Robinson. A Broadway success is the story of an adulterous love affair tak­ ing place only once a year — and also a box of reflections of 25 years of American manners and morals mirrored in two characters. Mr. Robinson's wife, Beth played Doris the other main character. They are featured in the photo adjacent to this writing. The Robinsons will not be with us next year and that makes us sad, but perhaps with a little per­ suasion they might return for another production, maybe just maybe, "the same time next year.” Students and faculty also took a particular liking once again to the "Celebration Mime Theater” featuring Tony Montonaro, one of the world's top mime artists. The program's final performance came to us from four members of the Portland Symphony Orchestra. Their repertoire ranged from works of the medieval to popular and jazz styles. ■ 51 �Halloween SSAv >s - y // 52 m �Drama 1. lason Naylor in the "Matchmakers” 2 Will Geer and Hoyt Sweeney 3.

What would have done without EZ, Pete and Mr. Olsen. THANX! Man the manipulator. Striving to overcome his alones. To find some status and security. Running with abandon or quietly weeping inside for love, joy, and freedom. In spite of all his hurts and failures he won't let go. He masters all of his courage, goes in, finds love and joy and freedom in fragments, learns about tranquility. Frustrated he stands in defiance and spits on the face of the cosmic giant until he learns the secret is in giving ... loving.

Submit to pressure from peers and you move down to their level. Speak up for your own beliefs and you will invite them up to your level. If you move with the crowd, you'll get no further than the crowd. When forty million people believe in a dumb idea, it is still a dumb idea. Simply swimming with the tiae leaves you nowhere, so if you believe in something that's good, honest and bright - stand up for it. Maybe your peers will get smart and drift your way. - W.S.J.

Through the ages men have fought To keep their sacred way of life. May we, our country’s youth and hope, Accept the challenge of our age And with God’s guidance amply blest Write for man a better page. As we undertake the task, These nothing ever can erase — Memories of the friendships made — They in our hearts find welcome space. Campus scenes of fall and spring, Winter moonlight on the snow, Cheers, exams, our favorite tunes, Hummed to waltzes soft and slow. Songs we’ve sung and games we’ve won, And tower bells that proudly tolled, Classes, sports, and fun we’ve shared — These memories will not grow old. In Memoriam BETTY D.

By the way, though, you’ll love this-I, Nancy C. Jackson Rapaport, am taking dancing lessons from that noted Professor Dwelley! Hugh s real job is helping Billy Rose with all his girls, but he teaches dancing on the side. This will be a surprise to you. Shirley Cook is starring in a picture with Lou Howard. Be sure to see her in ROMANCE UNDER THE SUN. Dick Shea is Master of Ceremonies for Take It or Leave It, and he has just given Phyllis Rolfe an all-expense trip to Florida for answering the Jackpot question. In case you want some toothpaste cheap, Chuck Snow is running a toothpaste factory. Dottie Osborne’s son, now seven years old, will be on the Quiz Kids program this Sunday night--be sure to listen. Gerry Cowperthwaite has given up the potato business and has just been promoted to president of the New York Stock Exchange. Nancy Buttner inherited a couple of million, so she has decided to build a mountain 15,000 feet high at Plymouth. She can have fun skiing now. Larry Jaspon built a gym in Worcester, and he and Hazel are pulling in carloads of money. Bob Fisher is still playing his ukelele, and he has won first prize for being the most talented ukelele player in the United States. His old roc..„.,„^, ommate, E Butch Voorhees, is running Smiling Butch’s Tavern in Andover. Eight-ball Walters is still racking „ thlem up at the tavern! Butch is going to give him a raise pretty soon. Foofa Fowler has discovered a new ’ v „ way to bring up horses--feeding them potatoes. This, I understand, gives them a lot of energy. Jane Stanford is " .s working for Foofai on his dude ranch. She can really bring those horses in. Busty Gingras is Kents Hill’s new resident doctor. He took over Mrs. Lithgow’s place. I don t know whether it is an improvement or not. Freddie Gibbs wanted to do something for his aunt in Augusta who was so good to him while he was going to Kents Hill. He has sent her on an extended tour. Pete Haskell is in the furniture business and is supplying Kents Hill all the new beds. Too bad Butch and Fish aren t there to use them for the purpose of arousing the sleepers to use them for the in the early morn­ Eleanor Ladd was the heroine of that big Eastern Air Lines crash that v of yesterday s paper.

He says he has a black eye more beautiful than one he had back in 1950. Chuck Hinkley has changed his name to Paderewski Hinkilonski and is to play at Carnegie Hall. Carleton Harvey has taken Digger O’Dell’s place on the radio. I understand business is going on the rocks. That isn’t like Digger. Maggie Griffin is married to Merrill Cowperthwaite, and they are running a farm on Kents Hill. I think they are supplying the school with all their fresh vegetable::S. Ed Williams is building a new indoor hockey rink for the school, which is supposed to be the best in the state. Carolyn Wyman is Mayor of Boston. Boston is really going places, Curley couldn’t have had anything to do with that. Weston Locke has entered the ministry. He got his inspiration from Mr. Dunn’s chapel talks. Dee Nowell is Dean of Women at the University of Miami. Bet they never hear of room detention there. Jerry Mayhew had a race with Mr. Gordon down the Empire State Building stairs. Believe it or not, Jerry won. Jack must be getting old. Allan Mead is Senator of New Jersey. Guess he beat Sparky’s Dad for the job. Rosie Rutherford has donated a ski tow to Kents Hill. Maybe they’ll win a few meets now. Ma Rodzen is running Ye Olde Ladies Dress Shoppe in Steep Falls. She should get a lot of busi­ ness, especially in re-designing strapless evening gowns. Roberta Scripture is teaching Spanish at Kents Hill. I wonder how she got that job! The coach of the new Kents Hill swimming team is Jean Cressy. She will probably take on water skiing next, poor kid. Grace Burwood is running the Kents Hill night club specializing in hot dogs--if you get up that way, be sure and get one. And if you don’t have a car to ride in, you can call Barbara Galouch’s cabs. Barbara has put Moody’s taxi company out of business. Margie Giffin has taken the honor of being Miss America in her usual sensible stride—she’s back at her old job of coaching track at Smith College. Dave Dunham is busy promoting dog food—get “Duno” for YOUR pup. Olive Getchell and Geraldine Boiley are competing for an opening in the Mount Vernon school system—the first-grade teacher has left. Whoever wins, we expect, will keep up the usual Mount Vernon standards, scholastically. Well, Betsy and Chuck, be good and say “hello” to your five little basketball players for us. As always, Jim and Nancy Good to know news of the class of ’50, isn’t it? Remember Betsy and I want to hear all Kents Hill news, and we answer all letters even though the family and the promotion of the CHUCK candy bar keep us both on our toes.

FRESHMAN YEAR September 17, 1946: Classes started today for us confused, newly-arrived Freshmen. We envy the upperclassmen who know just where to go. What a maze of rooms it seems! By week’s end, though, we feel as if we had never attended another school. (Let me say right here that Mildred Bean, Geraldine Boiley, Gerald Cowperthwaite, Barbara Galouch, Olive Getchell, Marguerite Griffin, Eleanor Ladd, Phyllis Rolfe, Roger Walters, Robert Wight, and Carolyn Wyman, some of these same timid Freshmen, have managed to survive the Kents Hill test for four whole years!) I November 10: Miss Canham’s English class on third floor is quiet. We can hear faint strains of music and look forward to the time when we take English IV so that we, too, can listen to ballads on records. I December 15: The beautiful Christmas Candelight service at Torsey Memorial Church will leave us with sweet memories, i January 28-31, 1947: Our first sample of what real exams are like—the two-hour exam in every subject. If we sleep on our books, will it really help us to remember? Mr. Gordon says that the scientific answer is NO. But then we discover, that exams aren’t so bad after all. What a relief to have a whole long weekend without any studying to do, though! It is Winter Carnival Weekend, too, with the suspense of, “Who will be chosen king and queen?” How we admire Queen Eva Scott and King Jim Sterling...... April 20: Dr. Drumm of Augusta is giving a vesper service talk on the subject of indifference. The Hallowell State Girls’ School choir is singing at this special service. This is indeed a sermon and concert to remember. 8;. Graduation day for the Seniors and the last day of school for us gives us a feeling of freedom. We Freshmen look to the day when we, too, in cap and gown, will march onto the stage and receive our diplomas.

This fund is called the Calliopean ;Centennial Scholarship Fund and the interest will be given each year to some worthy Cal to help further his educa­ tion. The manner in which the alumni have responded to this idea leads us to believe that it will not stop at a low figure.

We may have many trials, may lose every friend; But we will love thee until the end. And no matter what happens and come what will We will never forget thee, Kent’s Hill. As the years roll by, in a thousand ways We will find that each day will be bringing Many thoughts of the joys of our Kent’s Hill days, And with memories our hearts will be ringing. And the years will roll back and we 'll think of thee, Dear Kent's Hill, where we oft' long to be. And although we may not return, yet still We will always remember Kent's Hill. When we leave old Kent’s Hill and its Mem’ries dear And go forth, may we find life o’erflowing With great joys and success, and without a fear May we into the future be going.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sawyer �CLASS HISTORY This item on our program is called the history, but it also has aspects al­ lied with other subjects in our curriculum. For instance, consider biology. All of you recall that certain lower forms of life multiply by division. Note here that this class, which in the fall of 1942 numbered fourteen, now graduates thirtythree strong. There are respects in which the history of every class is the same. Those obvious features I shall pass over and rather point out the various ways in which our little group is unique among Kents Hill classes. For instance, we are the first class to have entered under Mr. Dunn’s administration, and we can give to him whatever glory is due the one who has been our sole guide through the past four years. To continue speaking of statistics, m our first year the war manpower shortage cut down the football eleven to six men, whose strength was as the strength of ten at least. We cut a fine figure tiptoeing through the beets and turnips on Harvest Day. Two members were subtracted from the faculty in April, when Mr. Swett, our dean of boys, and Mr. Dennis were called by Uncle Sam to take orders instead of giving them at Kents Hill as they had done so well. By Commencement Day, 1943, some of our members had begun to stand out from the group by reason of individual achievement. On that occasion the award for the highest scholastic standing in the freshman class for the year was won by Russell Walters. An innovation in the school program in the fall of our sophomore year was the annual fall banquet in honor of all the workers connected in any way with the school. If all the guests of honor do as well as Ralph Lane does in preparing the banquet supper they receive their just desserts. borne of the highlights of the year were the publication of five issues of the revived Maroon and Gray, and the second annual trip of a group of boys to Mount Washington under the guidance of Mr, Goldthwait, our faculty geologist and outdoorsman extraordinary. Of all things the boys beat Winthrop at bas­ ketball! The girls so distinguished themselves that they made a trip all the way to the University of Maine to exhibit their hoop marksmanship. The fact that such a sport may be a game of chance as well as skill, however, is pro­ ved by the fact that in the faculty-student basketball game the faculty won. The Winter Carnival Ball climaxed a day of ski events and sleigh-riding, with Ernie Pentheny and Jay Northrup crowned rulers of all they surveyed. Twice during the winter season the young men from Camp Keyes were guests at school parties to the delight of the girls at least. In May our <annua] Spring Day found us hiking to Brown’s Point on Echo Lake, where we arrived . _ with -----1 no lack of appetite for a picnic supper. Some of us were still able to dance that evening in the dining> room. Once again June came in with Commencement exercises, during which the Reverend Cymbrid Hughes of Augusta delivered a memorable baccalaureate ser? mon. History and Russell Walters repeated themselves at Commencement when the latter won the highest award for scholarship in the class for the year. �In the fall of 1944 we returned to school as upperclassmen and Miss Rice returned as Mrs. Gordon. The girls opened the athletic season by picking po­ tatoes - training which enabled them to come through the field hockey season undefeated. The boys started out enthusiastically to form the first eleven-man football squad in three j ears. The practices became rock-slinging duels with manager Sid Kramer taking all honors. All the boys lacked to win games was an occas­ ional touchdown. The season should not be regarded as a total loss because of this deficiency, for, on account of the weather, the boys had lots of swimming practice on the field. In October the students enjoyed the second annual Country Fair sponsored by the Girls’ Athletic Association. The busy Christmas season was memorable for two events. One was the beautiful and inspiring Christmas Vesper Service in Torsey Memorial Church at which Dr. Drumm preached the sermon and the girls’ choir sang Christmas carols. The other was a program of three plays, ‘Right About Face’,*A Mess­ age from Khufu’, and ‘Antic Spring’, presented in the Newton Gymnasium under the direction of Miss Vivian Russell. During the snow season the ski team enjoyed speeding down the hill to Torsey Pond on the fine trail that the Outing Club had cleared in the fall. In the Winter Carnival held January 27 the Kents Hill boys won the ski meet. At the ball that evening Lew Mason and Jean Bunten were chosen king and queen. The boys’ ski team also won ski meets at Jay and Wilton, with Chuck Barr as the outstanding skier. Both boys and girls enjoyed an active basketball season. The boys played a thirteen game schedule - a fact that might seem significant to the super­ stitious. Their feelings were salved by a double victory over Richmond, which pleased everyone but Larry Bond. The spring dramatic production, ‘Second Fiddle', found Sidney Kramer playing second to none as the silent (!) butler. The great May blizzard failed to cool the enthusiasm of the cast, although it did postpone their rollicking performance for a week. The baseball season was somewhat dampened by the weather, with the boys playing seven out of eleven scheduled games and winning four. The girls’ softball team was undefeated, rain or no rain. The two athletic associations closed the season with a banquet apiece - the boys at Cates’ and the girls at the Augusta House. On June third we heard Dr. Drumm deliver the baccalaureate sermon, realiz­ ing wistfully that next year it would be delivered for us. At the graduation ex­ ercises, Charles Barr was awarded the Kreuger prize as the most all-around ju­ nior, and Sidney Kramer received highest scholastic honors for the junior year. �We started our senior year with six returning reacners and seven new ones whose acquaintance we were glad to make. The social season started on a perfect full day with a picnic for all the stu­ dents and faculty at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Cushman. Sports and a picnic lunch on the shore of Parker Pond made an enjoyable program for every­ one. The fall athletic program for the girls included, as usual, potato-picking and field hockey, both activities designed for the discovery of new muscles. The field hockey team, coached by Miss Barbara. Hall, came through its second sea­ son without a defeat. Seniors playing on the team were Mary Balestri, Dorothy Young, Daisy Welch, Carol Graham, Mary Johnson, Stevie Sawyer, Violet Peter­ son, and Elizabeth Giles. The Girls’ Athletic Association elected as officers Violet Peterson, Stevie Sawyer, and Mary Balestri. Two new football coaches, Mr. Vellante and Mr. Fiorillo, drilled the boys so effectively that they broke their record of tOo long standing and won a game. Senior members of the team were Charles Barr, Richard Elias, Charles Trueman, Russell Walters, Sanford Trefethen, Harry Richardson, Dermott McSorley, Har­ lan Luce, Philip Black, Randall Whitten. The Outing Club spent the beautiful autumn afternoons clearing the ski slope. The new International Relations Club was formed under the direction of Mr. Fiorillo, the history instructor. Officers of the organization were Dermott McSorley, Sidney Kramer, Carol Graham, and Charles Barr. Programs de­ signed to stimulate interest in current world affairs featured talks by guest speakers followed by general discussion. Those whom the club had the pri­ vilege of hearing were Mr. O’Flaherty, on the subject of Nazism, Dr. Raymond E. Blois, on the possibility of conflict between Russia and the United States, Mr. Richard Elias, on the effect of Nazism on European youth, and Dr. Maloof, on the Arab side of the Palestine question. I i I In October the Country Fair provided a colorful evening with the usual offer­ ing of games of skill to which was added the greatest possible attraction - facul­ ty members (Blois, Vellante, Fiorillo, and Dunn) who exposed themselves at in­ tervals as targets for beanbag-throwing students. Every flunky had his day. For several weeks in the fall feminine voices raised in chorus and masculine voices drawling southern dialogue were heard in rehearsal for the minstrel show which was presented December first. The directors were Miss Russell and Mr. Blois, the latter also serving as interlocutor. The black-faced boys were Char­ les Barr, Sidney Kramer, Gerald French, Weston Dow, Richard Elias, and Cur­ tis Dalton, with two ebony gals, Dorrice Stairs and Sallie Hamilton. On December 8 the girls had a chance to model their evening finery at the Christmas formal dance at which Ralph Lane's Crusaders furnished the music. The Boys Athletic Association sponsored the affair for which the decorations were in charge of Sidney Kramer, Charles Trueman, Donn Worth, and Paul W right. �The The Torsey Torsey Memorial Church was decorated with Christmas greens and can­ dles for the annual Christmas Vesper Service, which was presided over by Dr. dies J Drumm, with the choir, under the direction of Mrs. Audrey Gray, furnishing the musical program. The winter sports program included basketball, skiing, and, for the first time in several years, ice hockey on a fine new rink, with coaching by Mr. Dunn, This group of necessity made a slow start, but showed constant improvement - achievement than any number of easy victories. The and enthusiasm - a bettei 1 girls’ ski group practised on the slope near the Outing Club cabin under the of Miss Gilbert. The girls’ basketball was coached by Miss Hall SUjjpervision _____ _________ with four seniors, Mary Balestri, Dorothy Young, Carol Felch, and Ruth Addi­ son on the team. For the first time in three years, the boys’ basketball sea­ son included moTA more wins wins than than losses, losses, eight eight victories victories and and seven seven defeats. defeats, The team was ably coached by Mr. Vellante and Mr. Fiorillo. The Winter Carnival opened February first with a hockey game with Dixfield in the afternoon, and a double victory over Wilton in basketball in the evening. Saturday morning the ski team defeated Wilton. A hockey game in the afternoon and the Snow Ball in the evening completed the program. By student vote Patricia Lucas and Burton Finigan were proclaimed visiting royalty. Kents Hill Night at Readfield Grange featured the Girls' Glee Club, specialty, numbers, and a contredanse demonstration. In April senior class officers were elected as follows: Clement Narcisse, president; Medb McSorley, vice-president; Elizabeth Giles, secretary; Russell Wal­ ters, treasurer. The spring sports were just getting underway as we went to press. Baseball, coached by Mr. Vellante, found the following recruits among the seni­ ors: Charles Barr, Philip Black, Sidney Kramer, Harry Richardson, Charles Tru­ eman, Harlan Luce, David Turner. Track, coached by Mr. Fiorillo and Mr. Swett, attracted Dermott McSorley, Clemente Narcisse, Randall Whitten. Tennis, directed by Mr. Blois, was played by Phyllis Colbath, Carol Graham, Virginia McMichael, Medb McSorley. The usual senior activities were planned for Commencement Week, and now the picnic, the ball, the baccalaureate address, and the class of 1946 belong to history. �SENIOR CLASS Backrow: Charles Barr, Harlan Luce, Clement Narcisse, David Turner, Russell Walters, Harry Richardson, Randall Whitten, Richard Elias, Charles Trueman, Philip Black, Sidney Kramer, Dermott McSorley.

We do give, unload upon, and bequeath as follows: To our ever-suffering faculty and our headmaster, Mr. Dunn, we seniors leave our sincere appreciation for everything they have done to make our years at Kents Hill happy and memorable, and oui* sincerest wishes for the progress and success of the school in the years to come.. To the struggling undergraduates we bequeath all our crib notes and trots that they may attain as high a class average« as we have. All our individual worldly possessions we bequeath as follows: I, Charlie Barr, do bequeath to Bob Burtt my ability to ski, and my aptitude for breaking at least two pairs of skis per year, not to mention bones. I, Sid Kramer, do hereby leave my Charles Boyer technique to Harry Thomp­ son in the hope that he will wow the women with better success than I have. I, Mary Balestri, do leave my flirtatious abilities to Alice Quinn. I, Carol Graham, do bequeath my indecision about who-shall-be-the-Light-ofmy-Life-tomorrow to Marcia Fyfe. I, Mary Hathaway, do leave to Elly White my aptness for breaking every rule in the girls’ dormitory, hoping she will not get caught as often as I did. I, Dottie Young, do leave my explosive temper to the nearest atomic bomb. I, Randall Whitten, do leave my big beak to my kid brother so that it will no longer get in the way of my love-life. We, Betty Giles and Daisy Welch, do leave our ability < ' " „ to split dates _ to_ Ginger 2__o_. Welch and Marian Luce, hoping that their boy friends will not always run out of gas as ours did. I, Russell Walters, do bequeath my ability to coin new phrases to Bob Stevens. I» Huck Luce, do leave my job as ftaxi driver for Readfield day-hops to my sister, who I hope will keep between the telephone poles. I, Dick Elias, do leave my profound knowledge of all subjects to the freshman whiz-kid, Leer-oy Flagg. I, Helen Louise Wright, leave my startled hair-do to Charlotte Parks, together with three hundred and sixty-six bottles of Slickum, which should, if used ec­ onomically, last her for a year and a day. �I, Elinor Megert, do bequeath my acquaintance witn every minister within a fifty-one mile radius of Portland to Charlie Flight in case he wants to get mar­ ried some day. We, the third floor senior boys, leave to our successors rubber-soled shoes so that they can tiptoe past Mr. Gordon’s door on Sunday morning in silence and safety.

I, Alice Card, do leave my Maine accent to some good Mainiac, if any. I, Dermott McSorley, do leave my love-me-or-leave-me technique with the women to me encantas Cano, the Cubano. I, Medb McSorley, (the other one), do leave some of me, of whom there is too much, to my room-mate, Joy Cohen, of whom there is too little. I, Burton Galouch, do leave my quiet mien to Gaylord Boutilier, because you can’t have too much of a good thing. I, Ruth Addison, do bequeath my ability to go along with the gag to Shirley Pebbles who after dishing it out, I hope will be able to take it. I, Carol Felch, do leave my hours spent in solitary, that is, room detention, to the instigator of it all, Ray Van Tassel. I, Phil Black, do leave my seat in the back row of our ‘local Bijou’ to the next far-sighted couple fore-sighted enough to get there early. I, Dave Turner, do bequeath my pet hobby to Dick Murch who also likes to tease the girls.

I, Barbara Wyman, leave the overland stage from Mount Vernon, daily, to our mutual relief. I, Virginia McMichael, do leave my room-mate, Joan Harrison, to Senorita Gilbert, who understands a Pennsylvanian in Dutch. I, Charles Trueman, bequeath my zip to the Talon Fastener Company, and to some tired turtle tottering toward the tape. I, Gundy Richardson, do leave my chapel racket-rousing job with three cheers, and bequeath my tomato-red face, reserved for such occasions, to the Camp­ bell soup ads. I �I, Violet Peterson, do leave my best skirt to someone who realizes that both in women's wear and wit brevity is the soul of It. This will, having been signed, sealed, and recorded this first day of June, in the year one thousand nine hundred and forty-six, we offer our names in testimony: I OUR SEal I �CLASS PROPHECY This gay little scene occurs approximately one quarter of a century from now .n the smoker at Kents Hill School, Kents Hill, Maine, One of the occupants of the room is deeply engrossed in the contents of a newspaper, From her concenttration comes the following conversation about the recent events as offered by the paper: I see here that Mary Hathaway, who is an instructor in the Readfield Primary School, has been committed to a neighboring house of correction on the charge of mistreating one of her pupils. And also have you heard some more astounding news? Stevie Sawyer, who, as you probably know, soon after her graduation assumed responsibility for the fin­ ancial success of Sawyer, Barker, and Company, has accepted a new position at Frank Allen’s place of business, and is selling Worcester-made suspenders. And did you know that the reason behind Stevie’s transferring to another company is that she was instrumental in causing the tragic bankruptcy which resulted in the dissolution of her entire company soon after she took charge of the business? ;■ ■ ■ And more scandal about Stevie I You remember, of course, the fellow she married? He went to Kents Hill, too, you remember. Well, up to a very short time ago he was a very good doctor with a fine reputation, but now it seems that he is serving a prison sentence as the result of a lawsuit pressed by a certain Mr. Fiorillo, once a member of the Kents Hill faculty. The doctor mistreated the Signor for an injury of long standing or - well - to his back with the result that he is listing severely to starboard. Other practitioners have since tried in vain to shift his cargo. Incidentally, there is more to this story than at first meets the eye. This damage dates back to the college days of Mary Balestri at Illinois, where Mary, the first female left tackle ever to play for Illinois, on a crowded field mistook Signor Fiorillo for one of her opponents, and in her usual enthusiastic manner, violently tackled him-, putting a permanent warp in his personality. For old times sake, the Signor preferred not to prefer charges. Encouraged by this success, Mary has entered the professional wrestling field with Dottie Young as her sparring partner. While we are on the subject of the world of sports you would no doubt be in­ terested in Sid Kramer’s thriving business. It seems that Sidney is racing mid­ get arttos up and down the grass plot in the middle of the Newburyport Turnpike and none other than good ole Ede Addison is the very competent manager of this enterprise. A short time ago a tight situation was created when Barbara Wyman and David Turner eloped in one of Sid's midget cars. In their swift take-off they were inter­ cepted by Charlie Trueman, the traffic cop, who overtook them. . .well, he was riding a motorcycle. . . well, they were not going so very fast . . . well, may­ be the car broke down. A slight difficulty arose, however, when it was dis­ covered that it was impossible to remove the happy couple from the car. This I �was finally done by the Walters, Barr, and Luce Manufacturing Company by means of an atomic device which they created for this emergency. I Another former Kents Hill student who has gone into show business is Elinor Megert. She is presenting the second public performance of her gala new pro­ duction, including the famous tattooed ladies, ‘Black Jack’ Card and ‘Wiggie’ Colbath. A short time ago Miss Megert presented the world premiere of her performance at Ma McSorley’s exclusive Musical Mousetrap. Medb has a rush­ ing business, with the bouncer, Doormat, the star of thw whole show, acting as the bum-rusher. I heard also that that lover of everything Irish, “Green Tie’ Galouch, had a bit of trouble there when the bouncer exercised his office. . and Galouch. Incidentally, the other day when I was in Melrose, Massachusetts, I saw a pair of very familiar and very vivid green trousers trudging along the street, together with someone with a very familiar walk. Do we have to tell them whom you were with, ‘Felchie’? Speaking of romance (and what else is there to talk about?), our eminent Fuller Brush salesman, Richard Elias, has shown the value of his training in that business by literally sweeping Virginia McMichael off her feet, thus demon­ strating the high quality of his product. Ah, Love! Ah love in broom! A local visitor to Boston Common reports having seen a bevy of southern gals weathering the northern gales on the swan boats. You-all should have heard their Maryland accents and seen the cute bows in their hair! The pompous captain of the fleet was none other than our old friend, Phil Black We know now that it was no hornpipe-dream that led us to think the Castine boy would some day become an admirable admiral. Phil may never get to salt water but he can enjoy being a big frog in a small pond. 4 I see here that Chester Gould has resigned as the creator of that comic strip character, Dick Tracey, who is now being made by Violet Peterson, otherwise known as ‘Gravel Gertie*. She has added a new character to the already colossal list of personalities of that strip in a certain sleek sheik, Narcisse, who in the last installment was riding a camel a mile for a smile from a harcm-scarum Syrian. Our absent-minded friend, Deacon Charles Trueman, stood before the mirror the other day for nearly three hours wondering where he had seen that face be­ fore, and then it all came back to him . . . Sanky Trefethen, who is now driving the most valuable car in town, most valuable since it is the oldest, says the antique will now run without a speedometer. He has his own methods for determining the rate of speed, At eleven miles an hour the headlights fall off; at seventeen miles an hour the windows fall out; at twenty-six miles an hour the doors fall in; if it goes thirty miles an hour - he’s dreaming; if it goes forty miles an hour- he wakes up. Randy vVhitten, First Class Technique-al Sergeant, while with the occupation forces in Japan chose his own occupation collecting souvenirs that would be attractive to himself and Wendy. He finally located twin geisha girls. With that the speaker folded the paper, saying, The Kents Hill boys always did have a line, but it takes the class of ‘46 to make the headlines. ■I I ■ �CLASS 0 ODE Now I must leave thee, Now I must from thee part; Always within my heart Memory will cling. I Campus so dear to me, Bell that rang merrily, All joys elude me now Since I must go. To him who wishes work No task will be too small, Our best we’ll give to all, No task too great. Dear school, we’ll honor thee, As to new lives we bow Sadly we look back now Though this we hail. Four years once seemed so long In scenes we loved so well, Now no return we’ll tell New paths to come. No time will ever change Friendships these years we knew; Loyalty each year grew. Bless dear Kents Hill!!

E. R. French PORTLAND SMITH & SALE, PRINTERS 1910 �L. Edwin Ruthven French �History of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary by Hon. E. R. French PORTLAND SMITH & SALE, PRINTERS 1918 ��FOREWORD i I ■ I Edwin Ruthven French was born at South Chesterville, Maine, December 13, 1828. He attended Kent’s Hill as a student from 1847 to 1850, and from the time of his gradua­ tion to the time of his death on December 5, 1912, he devoted the major part of his life to the interests of the School. As a teacher in 1850 and 1851, as a member of the Board of Trustees from 1873 to the time of his death, as Steward from 1882 to 1890, as a member of the Prudential Committee from 1891 to 1904, and as Secretary of the Board of Trustees from 1891 to the end, he was always thinking, planning and work­ ing for Kent’s Hill. Moreover, in this work for the School he did not lose sight of his duty to the community. He was lay preacher, doctor, lawyer, justice of the peace, student, farmer, trusted adviser and sincere friend. Called upon to preach or to attend the sick, as was often the case, he invariably responded gladly, although in many instances the response required him to travel miles in rain or snow. He sought no high honors, but thought most of doing the work at hand. A rare blessing to the community, he still lives in the hearts of his friends as a fine example of what an unselfish heart and an enlightened mind can do toward making life brighter and more livable. The following history represents a labor of love. It was written by him from a store of knowledge and lore of Kent's Hill gained by his sixty-five years of intimate acquaintance with the School. Probably no one living possessed similar qualifications for writing such a history. �PREFACE Progress is not an accident. The Creator does not work alone. In every age, in the secret chambers of thought, deep, far-seeing plans are laid that become the foundations of future events. God chooses from among the militant forces at His command those who are to carry forward His work. Across the broad seal of their commission is written the single word, “sent.” They are so like their fellows of the common lot that they emerge from the walks of life unknown and unheralded, till the consummation of the event of their life reveals their identity. The gaping crowd wonders whence came their power, who planned their work, and when they cannot answer, disbelieves; but the coming time, with its backward look and broader sweep, applauds. Humanity is coming to its own. Sometime its wants will be met. It may be a long time, but the God of the whole earth is in His heavens, and the longings of the hungry, the toiling of the millions, will avail; the day of the Lord will be at hand. �CHAPTER I Luther Sampson i (if ii n March 25, 1760, there was born in the town of Duxbury, Massachusetts, a boy destined to a varied career and the founding of an institution that was to have much to do with molding the character of the rising generations that came within the pale of its influence; and, through them, the bene­ fiting of many lands and the remotest time. Before he was sixteen he joined the Revolutionary forces of his country and continued in the service at different times for three years. He was a carpenter by trade. In 1783, he married and settled in Marshfield, Massachusetts. To them were born five children, a son and four daughters. He received from the Government an assignment of land for his services in the army, which, together with his earnings at his trade, gave him a fair start in life. He was of that old pioneer stock that had had so much to do with shaping New England character, and the severe puritanical ideas of the times were deep rooted in congenial soil. In 1798 Mr. Sampson left his home in Marshfield on a trip of exploration, intending to locate on the Hudson River. He had not proceeded far when he felt a strange inclination to go in the other direction; so much so that coming to a wood, he dismounted, hitched his horse, and turning aside into the grove he sought divine direction in prayer, and there deter­ mined that when he reached the next forks of the road, if his mind was still drawn eastward, he would let his horse choose the way. He remounted, gave his horse the reins, and soon found himself journeying toward the rising, instead of the setting sun. He continued his eastward travel till he reached the locality now known as Kent’s Hill, in the town of Read­ field, in the then Province of Maine. Here he located a tract of two hundred and fifty acres of land and returned to his Marshfield home. �6 It would be most interesting if we knew of the incidents of that journey, and what led him across Massachusetts and New Hampshire, on into the wilds of Maine, and induced him to locate in this particular spot. He was not a first settler; the Kents—Warren, at least—were there before him. Starling Plantation to the West began to be settled more than ten years before, and Isaac Ford, of Marshfield, likewise, had taken up the mill privilege at Fayette Mills. This latter fact may have been a determining feature in Mr. Sampson’s choice. The first house built on Kent’s Hill is said to have stood back from the main road on the west side of Will Thompson’s west field, later a part of the Waugh farm. The next year, 1799, Mr. Sampson moved his family onto his farm and with the assistance of his son, then sixteen years old, erected suitable buildings for their protection. Soon after his coming to Kent’s Hill, by the death of a relative, he fell heir to two thousand dollars, which sum, together with his other accumulations and holdings, made him a “fore-handed” man for his times. He was shrewd in his dealings, and was accounted a man of rare good judgment in business affairs. His opportunities for education had been limited, but he had improved what he had and his natural abilities enabled him to detect the want of it in others, as well as in himself. It is said the inability of the young preachers who came among the people to read with proper emphasis their Scripture lessons and hymns distressed him greatly. He set himself to devise ways and means to lessen these deficiencies and improve social conditions around him. His first efforts were directed to the supply of regular preaching of the Gospel on Kent’s Hill; the lengthening of the terms of the district school; the giving of aid to struggling Methodist Societies; providing for support of worn-out preachers, and helping the needy generally. It is not to be presumed that conditions around him were inferior to those of pioneer communities generally,—rather the contrary, if we are to judge from what develops later. A meeting house was in process of construction; the district school and a circulating library well under way. �7 CHAPTER II Readfield Religious and Charitable Society In 1820, Mr. Sampson interested some of his fellow­ townsmen to associate themselves with him for the before­ named purposes, and at the first session of the Maine Legis­ lature, in 1821, Luther Sampson, Charles Kent, John Hub­ bard, Abraham Morrill, Zechariah Gibson and John Morrison were incorporated Trustees of the Readfield Religious and Charitable Society. “In the House of Representatives this Bill passed to be enacted, February 26, 1821. Benjamin Ames, Speaker. In the Senate, finally passed, February 27, 1821. Wm. D. Williamson, President. Approved by the Governor, February 28, 1821. Wm. King. Secretary of State’s Office, Portland, March 5, 1821. A true copy. Attest, Ashur Ware, Secretary of State.” The Province of Maine was set off from Massachusetts in 1820. This act of incorporation, therefore, must have been one of the first legislative acts passed upon by the Legislature. Mr. Sampson’s knowledge of conditions in his native State probably had much to do with it. The act of incorporation provided that the Trustees should be members of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the town of Readfield, but if there were no members of said Church in or near said town suitable for trustees, then some pious person not a member of the church should be chosen Trustee that the number remain at six. The Trustees were authorized to hold property, real and personal, the income of which should not exceed three thou­ sand dollars annually. A gift of five thousand dollars by any one person entitled the donor to appoint an additional Trustee, without regard �8 to church membership. The liberality of these provisions placed the objects of the endowment above sectarian con­ siderations. The Board was organized the first Monday of June, 1821, by choosing President. John Hubbard, Secretary. Zechariah Gibson, Treasurer. Luther Sampson, A set of By-laws governing the Board were presented and accepted at this meeting. There is no record of any operations of the Society the first year of its existence. No funds had been provided. At a special meeting of the Board, April 29, 1822, Luther Sampson delivered to the Trustees a deed, elaborately drawn, conveying to them three parcels of land, real estate to the amount of two hundred acres of land and buildings, valued at four thousand five hundred dollars. Accompanying this deed and attached thereto was an instrument equally specific as to the purposes of the gift and how it should be applied; an inventory of personal property to the amount of five thousand five hundred dollars, making the benefaction a gross sum of ten thousand dollars. These two papers reveal a familiarity with legal forms and a minuteness of detail truly wonderful in one not trained in the intricacies of the law. It is doubtful if a superior exists for the disposition of property in the archives of County or State. It was expressly provided that there should be no “strip” or “waste” of land values, and that personal property that disappeared should be faithfully restored and handed down to each succession intact. For an intelligent understanding of the nature and availability of Mr. Sampson’s gift, we give a resume of the properties constituting it. Real Estate: The farm of one hundred and forty acres of land on Kent’s Hill, with the new house and two barns thereon, and other buildings; the pasture in Wayne of fortyfive acres; the house and lot adjoining the Meeting House lot, of one and one-eighth acres; the whole of the value of four thousand five hundred dollars (§4,500.00). �9 This was divided into three tenements: The 1st Tenement consisted of about seven acres in the southeast corner of the main road and the North Wayne road, to which was assigned the personal of the first schedule, amounting to $33.38. The 2nd Tenement, about five acres adjoining the Meeting House, and the sum of $176.00. The 3rd Tenement, the farm proper, with the Wayne pasture; except that the occupants of the first and second tenements were to have their fire-wood from it, and four acres to be reserved for a Camp Ground. To this tenement was assigned the personal of the third schedule, equal to $905.85. The personal property was itemized in seven schedules, of amounts as follows: 1st Schedule, eight sheep and lambs, S10; cow and calf, $20; sundries, $3.38: $33.38. 2nd Schedule, eight sheep and lambs, $10; cow and calf, $20; house furnishings, $26.38; beds and bed linen, $39.62; Bl. Shop, $80: $176.00. 3rd Schedule, two hundred sheep and lambs, $450; one yoke of oxen, $73; three cows with calves, $60; two hogs, $12; eighteen bushels corn, twelve of wheat, $27.50; seed corn and wheat and rye, $13.38; peas and oats, $15.12; potatoes, $7.50; grass seed, $5.37; provisions, etc., $19.38; cart wheels and carts, $43; plows, harrows, chains and iron, harnesses, etc., $64.05; shovels, hoes, scythes and sleds, $36.33; cord wood and hay, $39; other farm implements, $43.22; making the whole outfit for farm $905.85. 4th Schedule, furniture and furnishings in west part of new house for his daughters, $97.38. 5th Schedule, Bible, hymn books and communion set, $18.50; blank book, $4; stove and other furniture for Meeting House, $34.61: $57.11. 6th Schedule, Clarke’s Commentaries, $47; other books for library, $78.31: $125.31. �10 7th Schedule, notes and securities, with interest due, secured, $3,136.60; cash to balance sum donated, $968.37: $4,104.97. Making a total of personal, $5,500.00. On the acceptance of this deed of trust by the Trustees, Mr. Sampson appointed his son, David Ford Sampson, addi­ tional Trustee, and it was stipulated therein that his. family should be thus represented on the Board forever by some nearest of kin, or someone chosen to represent them. After repeated adjournments, the annual meeting of 1823 was held March 11 th, at which time the first move was made to use the funds in the hands of the Trustees for chari­ table and religious purposes by a tentative agreement with Eliakim Scamman to supply preaching at Kent’s Hill. Mr. Sampson, as Treasurer, presented a bill for $340, which was allowed, presumably for aid to the Meeting House, provision for which was made in his instrument to the amount of $345. In considering Mr. Sampson’s gift as a whole, from what sources its incomes were to be derived, the amount of the benefactions yearly required, it is difficult to see how all its terms could be met by a Board of Trustees thus constituted and governed by iron bound restrictions. Fortunately for the Board, Mr. Sampson was their Treasurer for the first three years and managed the property with the same shrewd­ ness that he had ever been used to do in the management of his affairs. One thing is evident, no one who succeeded him in the office of Treasurer was able to keep pace with him in financial acuteness. Important changes are impending this year. Mr. Samp­ son is thinking. There has come to him a conception of greater possibilities, and he is intent on seizing them. CHAPTER III Elihu Robinson In 1820, Elihu Robinson, of Augusta, a carpenter by trade, moved by the lack of opportunities for an education that came to the young men around him, especially those who were looking to the Gospel ministry, opened a school in his �11 own house, having teachers to give instruction. His wife attended to the household affairs, and was a mother in Israel to her house. Mr. Sampson heard of this school, and forthwith visited it. Here was a man without means, doing what he, in a lesser way, had thought to do with means. His vision broadened. Was it not possible to combine these two instrumentalities, he pondered? During the season of 1823, Mr. Sampson had repeated interviews with Mr. Robinson, and induced him to move his school to Kent’s Hill. Meanwhile, he set himself about adjusting the affairs of his Board to meet the changed condi­ tions. An outlay of six hundred dollars, or more, was required by the original instrument, which absorbed all the income under the most favorable circumstances. The annual meeting of 1824 was called for January 6th, at which time only routine business was attended to and an adjournment taken to the 27th inst. The Trustees met, and, without transacting any business, adjourned to the next morning. At this time Mr. Sampson presented a new instru­ ment, modifying former conditions as to the bestowal of his charities, eliminating some and reducing the amount of others. This paper was duly executed, and accepted by the Trustees. A committee was raised to attend immediately to providing for the intended school and to report at the next meeting, and adjournment was taken to February 17th. CHAPTER IV The New School Mr. Sampson’s new deed, or instrument, provides that when certain conditions therein named are met, “the remain­ der of said property shall be appropriated to the establish­ ment, and for the benefit and support of, a school, to be located on the premises in Readfield for the purpose of afford­ ing instruction to youth in the principles of Experimental Christian Religion, Theology’, Literature," in a practical knowledge of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts.” �12 Here is a University for the common people! I doubt if you can find an older one in the country. On the acceptance of this new paper, Luther Sampson retired from the Board of Trustees, and Elihu Robinson was elected in his place and was also made chairman of the Super­ intending Committee. At the adjournment, February 17th, the plan and report of the committee was accepted, and on the 27th of February, 1824, Mr. Robinson formally opened his school in the new house,—now known as the Little Mansion. We have no account of whom his teachers were, but presume he conducted it along the same lines as heretofore. At a special meeting, March 22nd, a committee was chosen to provide a school house. This was done by buying of Mr. Sampson the old house he had reserved in his deed and fitting it up for a school room. In 1869, when repairing the Mansion, Albert Wheelock, standing in the back door of the house, pointed to what had been for years the woodhouse of the “New House,” saying: “That was the first school building and it stood down there,” pointing as he spoke to a spot a little to the southwest of the Mansion. “I was one of the scholars.” There were two rooms in the upper part of it fitted up for scholars who boarded themselves, known to students of a later day as “Oregon.” Mr. Robinson held a close and important relation to the school for the first year, not only as its Supervisor, but being in charge of what was known as the “first tenement,” which had been cleared of all incumbrances that its income might be devoted to the school. The financial situation was cleared up by effecting settle­ ments with those indebted to the corporation and reducing the charities to less than one-fourth. This meeting was adjourned to May 10th, at which time a committee was chosen, consisting of Elihu Robinson, Moses Springer, Jr., and Moses Stone, to mature a plan for a new school house. It reported the next day “that it is expedient to build a School House of brick; that such a building would cost two thousand dollars;” and recommended measures whereby funds might be raised to erect it. �y 13 This report was accepted. Likewise a vote was passed to petition the Legislature for a change of name and to increase the number of Trustees to twenty. The name proposed was The Maine Methodist Educational Society. A committee was also appointed to address the Maine Conference at its next annual session in favor of the interests of the Institution. It is evident from these movements that the school was exceeding its limits, and that its possibilities began to loom up before the public and those who were more intimately con­ nected with its administration. An incident occurred at this meeting worthy of more than a passing notice. Mr. Sampson had practically retired from an active part in the affairs of this new enterprise, but kept a watchful eye on every movement. He had sent a letter to the Trustees which they saw fit to raise a committee to reply to, but which committee, after an interview with him, asked to be discharged without the formality of a report. The letter was pigeon-holed. It was understood privately that Mr. Sampson was not pleased with some of the measures and methods of the Trustees, and took this means to call their attention to the importance of their trust and their obligations to him. At a subsequent meeting, August 16th, the Superintend­ ing Committee were authorized to proceed with the erection of the school building according to the plan recommended by them. This they did forthwith. Circumstances demanded it; the school had outgrown itself, and the demand for its privileges and opportunites was growing. Again a special meeting is called for December 29th, when the progress of the Building Committee is approved and their accounts audited. The votes of a previous meeting with regard to a change of name and increase of the number of the Trustees were reconsidered, and a vote passed for a new act of incorporation changing the name to “Maine Wesleyan Seminary” and the number of Trustees to twenty-five. Up to this time the school had evidently been conducted according to Mr. Robinson’s method, but at this meeting a committee was appointed to secure an instructor. There is �14 no report of the doings of this committee, but it is known that Asa H. Thompson, of Industry, was chosen Principal, but died before taking charge, and Rev. Henry Cushman was engaged for the Spring term. At the next meeting of the Legislature, January, 1825, an act additional to the act of incorporation was passed, and approved by the Governor, Albion K. Parris, February 23, 1825. This act makes the number of Trustees twenty-five and changes the name to “Maine Wesleyan Seminary.” CHAPTER V Maine Wesleyan Seminary The foregoing legislative act was received at a meeting of the Trustees, February 23, 1825, and accepted by them. The first school year is closed and plans are maturing for the future. Construction of the Seminary Building is progressing favorably, but we are not advised how the plan for raising the money for it, viz.: that a three-years loan of five hundred dollars at six per cent be raised; that the fifteen hundred additional be divided into shares of one hundred each, to be subscribed for by friends, who are to be reimbursed when the institution is in funds—this latter practically a donation, has succeeded. The loan was raised. This meeting was continued to March 16th, when the business of the annual meeting was completed and an execu­ tive committee added, who were to have the general super­ intendency of all the affairs of the institution,—now known as the Prudential Committee. A further continuance was had to the 22nd, when a conference was sought with Mr. Sampson as to present conditions. As a result of this con­ ference a committee was chosen to make a new draft of the instrument limiting the objects and sums to which Mr. Samp­ son’s donation should be applied, which should be the basis of future action forever. In this pact the Trustees covenant with Luther Sampson that the amount of his endowment shall be and remain ten thousand dollars; and if, by reason of depreciation of value, �15 it shall at any time fall below that sum, the incomes arising from it shall be applied till the original amount is made good. And in order to make more plain the intent and purposes of said Trustees and said Sampson, it is agreed that the government of this Institution shall be established on the same principles as that of Bowdoin College, and the same rules and restrictions apply to its permanent fund as to that; and when these requirements are complied with by the Trustees, Mr. Sampson on his part exonerates the Trustees from all errors and deficiences on their part and relieves them from maintenance of preaching at Kent’s Hill, except supply. The report of this committee was not accepted till a subsequent meeting, October 12th, nor finally concurred in till December 28th. This meeting, however, was of much importance as mapping out the future course of the school, and included two days’ work. The enlargement of the Board of Trustees was begun; the Superintending Committee were authorized to set up a “Female School;” the price of board and tuition was fixed; an address to the public accepted, to be published in Zion’s Herald. What do we of the present day think of the charges of that day, who pay for a single meal as much or more than was expected for a week’s board? 25 cts. per week. Tuition, Boys’ Department, 12# « « « “ Girls’ S1.00 “ “ Board, Boys’ “ “ Girls’ “ 87# “ “ “The children of the Traveling Preachers to be received at seventy-five cents per week.” Is it any wonder that the poor boys and girls starving for an education such as this school was to afford, flocked to its doors? Would that there were the same inducements now! �16 CHAPTER VI Zenas Caldwell’s Administration Zenas Caldwell was made Principal and took charge of the school September, 1825. He was a graduate of Bowdoin College, and he together with his brother Merritt were said to be the first Methodist boys to graduate from college in the State. Thank God, they were not the last! We shall hear of them more. They were sons of a great mother. Why can there not be more of them in the earth, that a nobler race of men may people it? They are coming, sometime. Mr. Caldwell’s management of the school was com­ mended from the beginning. At the meeting of Trustees October 12th, he was made a Trustee and Chairman of the Superintending Committee. The report of the committee on new instrument was made and accepted, and an additional instructor authorized whenever thought necessary. This is an evidence of the increasing popularity of the school; or, it may have been seen thus early wise to conserve the physical powers of the Princi­ pal. We incline to the former opinion, as the records bear evidence that the Trustees were not slow to promote him to responsible places. The agreement between the Trustees and Mr. Sampson for a change in the conditions of the deed was completed at the annual meeting December 28, 1825, by the formal execu­ tion of the pact entered into. Mr. Sampson absolutely declines to be considered a Trustee any longer, and the Trustees feel constrained to grant his request. Arrangements for the coming term were made by con­ tinuing Zenas Caldwell, Principal, and providing for issuing what was probably the first circular, or prospectus, giving information as to its courses of study, length of terms and vacations, that the Seminary ever sent out. The proper management of the farm was one of the most difficult things that Trustees had to contend with in those early days, and as to that matter, has always been so. When, therefore, at an adjournment of this meeting, February 12, �17 1826, Elihu Robinson presented the name of Wager Besse and his wife to have charge of “all concerns,” there was evident relief and speedy acceptance. At a further continuance of the meeting to May 2nd, a committee, of which Zenas Caldwell was chairman, was raised to carry into effect the late agreement with Luther Sampson, by framing a code of “rules and regulations” for the govern­ ment of the school, after the manner of Bowdoin College. Thus early the Institution was seeking to place itself on a high plane of educational efficiency. That much of this was due to the leadership of Zenas Caldwell cannot be doubted. A movement was made at this time also for providing for a Manual Labor Department, want of funds alone checking it. The one great lack is the lack of funds. Again the Conference is to be appealed to. The affairs of the farm, at one time so hopeful, are again at a stand-still, and the offer is made to Mr. Sampson to pay his expenses if he will find a suitable man to carry it on. It must be remembered that the farm was practically new land; stumps and stones not all removed; not an inviting field of operations. During the summer vacation, 1826, the Trustees met August 29th and were in session three days. The financial situation was the burden of their desire. The Treasurer had succeeded in selling the Dr. Hubbard property for $2,300, but the pay was in promissory notes and time loans. The dormi­ tory was in want of beds and bedding; the expediency of begging for it was considered. A committee was chosen to raise $2,500 by one hundred subscriptions of twenty-five dollars each. Elihu Robinson, who had had charge of the farming operations, was relieved from that duty and later put in charge of the Mechanical Department. Zenas Caldwell was continued Principal, and an assistant instructor authorized. The Superintending Committee were directed “to finish the Preceptor's room in a decent manner.” Rev. Asa Heath was appointed "to solicit donations and form societies through the State as he may think proper,”— what societies the record docs not reveal. He was to have ten per cent of the donations as pay for his services. �18 Zenas Caldwell assumed the charge of the fall term, 1826, but a shadow was creeping over the prospects of the Seminary. The great white plague was claiming a victim, and the Princi­ pal’s failing health obliged him to relinquish his duties and retire to his home in Hebron, Maine, where he died, December 21, aged 26. He died too soon. Charge not to God Almighty the loss of undeveloped years, the crushed hopes of early man­ hood and the vanishing of spheres of usefulness. He planned it not, but one ignorant of His immutable, unchanging laws interfered with their execution. There is no reference in the records as to who was Mr. Caldwell’s assistant, or who was in charge on his retirement, or even a reference to his death, a strange omission, it seems to me. I have an impression, or an intimation derived from some source, that Merritt Caldwell, brother to Zenas, at that time a student at Bowdoin College, came to the rescue on the retirement of his brother, for the remainder of the term. December 27th, 1826, the annual meeting was held and the Secretary directed to inform Joshua Randall, of Dixfield, that the Trustees will employ him for one term on the condi­ tion he proposed,—perhaps longer. The language of this vote implies that they had been in conference with him, and it may be that he had been assistant to Zenas Caldwell, or had had to do with the finishing out of the term. At the adjournment of this meeting to February, 1827, it was voted that Asa Heath continue his agency, and that the Bishop presiding at the next annual conference be requested to appoint one of the Traveling Preachers to collect funds for Maine Wesleyan Seminary. The Superintending Committee were authorized to employ as many students at labor as was practicable. It is evident from what the records disclose that the popularity of the school was abroad, and that there were more applications for its advantages than it could accommodate. It was an open door to the common people; its advantages for instruction unexcelled. This meeting is further continued to March 7th, when a formal vote of thanks is tendered to Mr. Sampson by the following resolve. “Resolved: That the Board of Trustees �19 tender their thanks to our brother, Luther Sampson, for his laborious services, and that he be requested to continue them to this institution.” The reports of committees entrusted with the funds of the institution are more satisfactory. A half township of land had been granted by the Legislature, which was yet to be disposed of. The committee having charge was directed to procure the frame for the shop and set as many boys at work on it as could be employed. Dudley Moody becomes general agent, or steward, and Elihu Robinson has charge of the mechanical department. These departments of manual labor were extremely popular with the public, but exceedingly unprofit­ able to the institution, because of the poor quality of the work, whether on farm or in shop. Students could not be induced to remain long enough at a trade to master it. CHAPTER VI Course of Study Established A meeting of the Trustees largely devoted to internal affairs was held August 9th. A large committee was raised to canvass for a Library, and another to draw up a course of study to go into operation in the spring term. This meeting was continued to November 28th, when the committee reported. It seems that this plan was subse­ quently lost, but tuition in languages and higher studies was fixed at 37Xc. Merritt Caldwell and William C. Larrabee, students in Bowdoin College, were in charge during this fall term. At this point in the records it is disclosed that at the meeting of the Legislature of 1827 the committee who had in charge the plan of government for the Seminary after the form of Bowdoin College obtained an act constituting Abraham Morrill, Obed Wilson, James B. Cahoon, Allen H. Cobb, Thomas Dodge, Joshua Taylor and David Kilburn, together with the President and Secretary of the Board, a Board of Overseers of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary. These met and �20 organized their Board, but after a few years failed to main­ tain it and lapsed into innocuous desuetude. One of the first acts of the annual meeting, December 26, 1827, was to appoint a committee, consisting of Eliphalet Clark, Merritt Caldwell and William C. Larrabee, who pre­ pared a new draft and reported as follows, which report was accepted: Report REQUIREMENTS “Candidates for the Junior class must be able to read with a good degree of ease and correctness; to write legibly, parse correctly in prose, and be well acquainted with the funda­ mental rules of Arithmetic. JUNIOR CLASS. 1ST TERM Modem and Ancient Geography, Worcester’s Arithmetic, Colburn’s First Lessons and Sequel, and Grammar. 2nd term Algebra, Colburn’s, Geometry, Ancient History, Whelpley’s. MIDDLE CLASS. Book-keeping, and 1ST TERM Trigonometry, Smythe’s, Surveying, Navigation, Men­ suration of Surfaces and Solids, and Modern History. 2nd term Mental Philosophy, Upham’s, Natural Philosophy, Con­ versations on, and Rhetoric, Newman's. SENIOR YEAR. 1ST TERM Smythe’s Philosophy of Natural Economy and Paley’s Theology. History, Political �21 2nd term Chemistry, Conversations on, Federalist, Paley’s Evidences, and Astronomy, Wilkins’. Languages, or any of the above studies, may be attended to when a regular course is not wished. Eliphalet Clark, Chairman of said Committee.” The same committee fixed tuition at 25c per week. The distress of the Trustees for want of funds to carry on the school is almost pathetic. They have not disposed of their half-township of land, have twice tried to float a loan, using that as collateral, and even to secure notes by mortgage of real estate. They could not retreat; they must go forward. A committee was empowered to engage a principal for the ensuing term. Dr. Samuel Stevens, a graduate of Water­ ville College, acted as Principal the spring term of 1828. A largely attended session of the Trustees was held in Vienna in August, when for two days the affairs of the Semi­ nary'- were thoroughly considered. Merritt Caldwell, having graduated from Bowdoin Col­ lege, was secured as Principal for the fall term of 1828, and continued in that position until 1834. The annual meeting this year was held December 31, 1828, and the time of future annual meetings fixed for the day after the closing of the spring term. Merritt Caldwell was formally elected Principal, and also a Trustee. The first mention of the Calliopean Society occurs in an order to the Mechanical Agent to make a book-case for it. That that, or similar societies, existed is inferred from votes of the Trustees denying to students the privilege of forming such societies within the school without the knowledge or consent of the Board of Trustees. At this meeting all the books belonging to the Trustees were given to the Calliopean Society. Moses Springer, Jr., is made a committee to again peti­ tion the Legislature for aid, though they have hardly disposed �22 of the last donation of a half-township. This man seems from the record to be one of the most business-like men on the Board. The first annual meeting after the change of time con­ vened July 16, 1829. The Seminary seems to be firmly established, courses of instruction well defined, and admin­ istered by competent instructor who has been in charge for a year, and, were it not for financial troubles and the difficulty of finding proper managers of the Agricultural and Mechanical Departments, would be on the road to success. Elihu Robin­ son has administered these departments to the extent of his ability, but has not had a free hand in doing so, and besides, has been the one man relied on for the discharge of difficult trusts. One can but be impressed with his usefulness as the proceedings of the Board of Trustees are followed year after year, and with what the Maine Wesleyan Seminary owes to him in the formative days of its life. The majority of the Trustees were Methodist Preachers, without much business tact. An exception should be made to this in the persons of Moses Springer, Jr., James Williams, Moses Stone and Philip Munger, and later, Dr. Eliphalet Clark, who were evidently men of affairs. Reference is had occasionally in the doings of the Trustees to finances connected with the Maine Conference. This comes to a settlement at this meeting by the Trustees authorizing their Treasurer to pay over to the Conference one hundred dollars in full of all demands. The Conference seems to have considered itself a beneficiary of Mr. Sampson’s charities in some way, and the Trustees buy off their claim in this manner. A move is made for a College Preparatory Course, and Merritt Caldwell continued Principal, and adjournment taken to January 5th. The Board of Trustees is now increased to the full number, a majority of whom are members of the Maine Conference. Another move is made to raise a permanent fund, whose income shall be S600, or more. This sum is deemed neces­ sary to meet the yearly expenses. The Female School is not �23 yet in operation, but someone is pressing for it. Mr. Samp­ son is considering further concessions, and a continuance is taken to February 10th. CHAPTER VIII A Gloomy Time February 10th, 1830, Mr. Sampson the fourth time alters the requirements of his deed, which is accepted by the Trustees, and in consideration thereof makes over to the Trustees of the Methodist Society on Kent’s Hill the house and land adjoining the Meeting House lot for a parsonage, and donates one hundred dollars for finishing it. This meeting has been continued seven months. There is internal evidence that while the school as such is prospering and that students are not wanting, the Trustees are at a loss to meet the situation. A special meeting is called for July 20th, which deliberates on the situation for three days. That the question of closing the school was under consideration cannot be doubted, for on the third day a direct vote to continue the school was reached, after three members of the Board had guaranteed a sum sufficient,—six hundred dollars— to carry it on another year. These men are understood to be Merritt Caldwell, Dr. Eliphalet Clark and Dudley Moody. Previous to this, the sureties for a note of SI,500 had been secured by real estate. The opening of a Young Ladies’ School was again brought up at the annual meeting, January' 5, 1831, by a Resolve declaring it expedient and directing that the west room in the Seminary be fitted up. Messrs. Moody, Clark and Caldwell were made a committee to engage an Instructress. This was to be used in a petition to the Legislature as an inducement to grant aid. There are indications that this move succeeded in open­ ing the school to young ladies as soon as all the arrangements for it could be effected. Miss Urania Merritt was the first female teacher employed. Later, during Merritt Caldwell’s principalship, Miss Phoebe Payne was engaged as Preceptress. �24 Merritt Caldwell is again elected Principal. That the plan of the school retains its popularity with the people is evident from the fact that the Trustees are obliged to enlarge their shops and increase the accommodations for board. It seems to have been a short-sighted policy to allow their finances to fall behind by mismanagement. CHAPTER IX A Dramatic Occasion We now come to one of the most dramatic occasions that ever occurred in the history of Maine Wesleyan Seminary. Whether considered as an act of desperation, or a stroke of finesse, it was a masterpiece of corporate action. The author­ ship of the scheme or the resolutions, or who presented them to the Board, is nowhere revealed. The Maine Annual Con­ ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church was in session at Hallowell, Bishop Soule presiding, June, 1831. On the morning of the 10th the Trustees of the Seminary met at the same place, and, without preliminary, voted that the President, Moses Springer, Jr., invite such persons, other than members of the Board, to a seat with it, as he sees fit. Then, without the formality of a committee, the following resolutions were presented: “I. Resolved: That, in the opinion of this Board, the Maine Wesleyan Seminary is established on such principles as give it a claim superior to that of any other literary institu­ tion in this State on all the friends of science, morality and religion; and that its claims for support on the Maine Confer­ ence and the members of the Methodist Episcopal Church are more sacred than on any other class of community. “II. Resolved: That the present depressed state of the funds of this institution is, in the opinion of this Board, a loud call for renewed, strenuous and well-directed efforts on the part of its friends. “III. Resolved: Inasmuch as the interests of this insti­ tution are, in our opinion, associated with the dearest interests of the rising generation and of our growing church in this I �25 State; and as the time has now come when but one alternative is left us, which is to place it on a firm basis, or to let it sink to rise no more; that our best efforts as a Board and as individ­ uals shall be directed to sustain this institution. “IV. Resolved: That the cause of this institution be presented to the Maine Annual Conference now in session, and that their co-operation be solicited in the appointment of an agent whose experience and influence shall be propor­ tioned to the character of the institution and to the great responsibility of making a last appeal in its behalf to the generosity of our church and the public. “V. Resolved: That it be recommended to the Con­ ference to adopt some measures by which the operations of said agent shall be facilitated, and by which subscriptions shall be opened in every station and on every circuit in the Conference.” Messrs. Caldwell, Springer and Cox were appointed a committee to present these resolutions to the Conference, also to petition that Rev. Charles Baker should be appointed Agent. When the committee had presented their resolu­ tions, the Conference rose in a body to accept, and a sub­ scription was started then and there, led by the Bishop, by which the sum of $1,360 was raised on the spot, mostly by preachers who hardly knew from day to day whence their own support was coming. The scene is described as most inspiring. The Rev. Charles Baker was appointed Agent. A resolution highly commendatory of the services of Principal Caldwell was passed, wherein was expressed the hope that “no motive” would induce him to leave his post. His salary was increased one hundred dollars, and a present of fifty dollars was made him. The next term was fixed for the opening of the Young Ladies’ Department. The effect of this move and the success of Rev. Baker’s agency for a time cleared the financial sky and restored confidence. It may seem strange to us, looking back over four score years, that there was so great apathy on the part of the denomination in coming to the support of the Seminary; but it must be remembered that the Methodists of Maine were �26 of the common lot, with more zeal than means, and that one hundred dollars meant very much to them individually, and that the poor success of former agencies had had a depressing effect. Asa Heath’s service the year before had realized but about $160 over and above his salary and expenses. When your staging costs as much as your house, you sometimes let the house go. This session of the Board was continued into the next week, evidently under the inspiration of the Conference, con­ sidering matters deemed essential to the success of the school. Among these was the establishment of a Teachers’ School; securing a Preceptress for the next term, and providing a permanent Professor of Languages. The scope of the educa­ tional work undertaken broadened on their hands continually, and it was difficult to keep abreast of it. The ambition of students to increase the number of literary societies was a source of heated discussion in the Board. In their appeals for aid to the State, the Trustees had represented the school as unsectarian, yet were supporting Methodist preaching. To free themselves from any charge of inconsistency, they suggested to Mr. Sampson that he withdraw a sufficient amount of funds to enable him to meet that requirement personally, and so remove any cause of complaint. Thus early was laid the foundation for the cosmopolitan character the school has maintained, despite its name. There was no lack of theories, discussions and resolutions in this and succeeding sessions of the Trustees relative to the questions before them for consideration. The one most in evidence was the raising of funds for the ever-increasing needs of the institution. More shops are wanted; a larger boarding house must be built. There are social conditions ever recurring that tax the wisdom of Principal and Visiting Com­ mittees. At the annual meeting, January, 1832, these things are provided for, so far as Trustee action is required, and Merritt Caldwell is re-elected as Principal. Despite his spirited encounters with the Trustees in opposition to their f �27 policies, they cannot dispense with his services at the head of the Seminary. Notwithstanding that there were already academies in different parts of the State that were doing the work of the high school of to-day, a different class of students was drift­ ing to Kent’s Hill. Their careers in after life point out to us the type of manhood and womanhood they represented. The subscription at Conference, 1831, with other sub­ scriptions that followed, together with the one thousand dollars of State aid, relieved the financial stress for the time being. At the close of the school year, 1833, it became evident, as once before, that a permanent income of six hundred dollars must be provided for the yearly operations of the school and the Conference was again appealed to to raise a fund of ten thousand dollars. Rev. Gersham F. Cox was appointed Agent; a plan for four-hundred and two-hundred scholarships was worked up, and Mr. Cox took the field. At the next Conference he reported ten thousand dollars collected in cash and reliable notes. At first this seemed to be a great success, but later proved to be a mortgage on the funds of the Institution. Mr. James Dinsmore, of the Trustees, raised about six thou­ sand dollars in addition. This movement gave a more hopeful aspect to affairs, and served as a stimulus to increase the number of students at the Seminary. This same year Mr. Caldwell severed his connection with the Seminary, having been elected Professor of Metaphysics in Dickenson College, Carlisle, Pa. It has been an oftrepeated experience with the Seminary that when it had developed a teacher of admirable parts, some higher institu­ tion of larger means would make requisition on it. The school continued through the year under the charge of Charles Collins, James Bell, A. B., and A. F. Wheelock, A. B. �28 CHAPTER X Larrabee’s Administration In 1835, William C. Larrabee, Principal of Cazenovia Seminary, was elected Principal and entered on his duties at once. A man of unusual tact and ability as teacher was now at the head of the institution. He associated with him Benjamin F. Teft, a recent graduate of Wesleyan University, a brilliant scholar, and other able teachers. The improved financial condition of the Seminary, the reputation of the Faculty, the opportunities for meeting some portion of the expenses in the manual labor departments, drew large numbers of students. Principal Larrabee was extremely popular with all classes of society, and not averse to the humorous side of affairs when opportunity offered. It is related that when stopping at a hotel in the city of Bangor one day he strolled out to the stable, where his curiosity was excited by hearing the hostler swearing at the horses in classic language. He entered into conversation with him and found himself in the presence of a man of unusual scholarly attainments, a graduate of the University of Dublin, but who, because of his love for strong drink, was reduced to this lowly occupation. Mr. Larrabee’s interest in him, however, was very much aroused, and before leaving he induced him to come to Kent’s Hill. In due time the candidate arrived, and the Principal deemed it the proper thing to have his fitness attested by his teacher in languages, and he was sent to Professor Teft for examination. The Professor, in rather a spectacular way, brought out his Greek text books and opening them handed one to the new teacher, reserving one for himself, and, indicating a lesson, requested him to proceed. With lightning-like rapidity—he was very quick spoken—he began to read the text before him. The Professor lost his place and stopped the reader to know where he was. This was pointed out and away again he went, and was again halted to know where he was. The third time he sets the Professor right and is off like a race-horse, when Teft, in desperation, calls out, “Where are you reading?” His candidate answers, “Right there,” putting his finger on the �29 line, “can’t you keep the place?” That candidate was Andrew Walsh, a veritable son of Ould Ireland, one of the greatest linguists of his day and an equally expert mathema­ tician. Father Walsh, as he was known to the students, was simple as a child; indeed, he was more of a child than a man, save for his intellectual attainments, for he was equally a philosopher and a linguist. He was deeply religious, and those who may have heard his exhortations in the social meeting did not soon forget the matter or the manner. Alas! he went back to his cups, and his light went out in obscurity. The popularity of Larrabee’s administration continued unabated. There was not a neighborhood around but was represented by some of its youth. The attendance at the school increased to such an extent that it was absolutely necessary to erect a new boarding house. Notwithstanding the necessity for enlarging the accommodations, every move plunged the corporation deeper and deeper in debt. There was one agency not yet mentioned that came generously to the relief, viz: The Maine Wesleyan Associa­ tion, which pledged the net profits arising from the printing of the Maine Wesleyan Journal to the funds of the school. How much was derived from this source we are unable to state, but the Journal itself was a help as the mouthpiece of the Seminary. The membership of the Maine Conference, except for the one spasmodic effort in 1830, never seemed to realize how great an obligation it was under to the school in their midst. Eventually, a feeling of distrust and indifference engendered towards it. Nevertheless, outwardly everything seemed prosperous; the shops were full of workers, the Seminary of students. No one seemed to know where the leak was financially. Their embarrassments increased. The fact was, they were employ­ ing unskilled labor. The manufactured products were not worth as much as the stock from which they had been pro­ duced. They could not be sold in the market, save at a loss, and accumulated in the shops. The same was true of the farm, and their property depreciated. These were the causes that were leading to bankruptcy, and yet the school was �30 sustained because of its popularity. Principal Larrabee maintained his supremacy, but he at length became involved in the impending ruin, and in 1840 accepted a professorship in the Asbury University, Greencastle, Ind. The funds were all gone; there was next to nothing to show for all the money that had been collected; public con­ fidence in the management was at a standstill. An agent was appointed to dispose of all the available assets,—the real estate could not be alienated—and settle claims against the Institution; but these were not sufficient; it was still in debt. In 1841, Dr. Stephen Allen, at that time Professor of Mathematics in the Troy Conference Seminary, Poultney, Vermont, was elected Principal and took charge that winter term. The situation was forlorn, indeed. The buildings were out of repair; the Seminary hardly habitable because of faulty construction, and liable to collapse at any time. These defects were overcome as well as they could be at the time, a goodly number of students gathered, and the school went on. Dr. Allen brought to his assistance an able corps of teachers, young men and women of ability, who thought more of the service rendered than of the pay received. Among them were George W. Jewett, Miss Mary Ann Moody, afterwards Mrs. G. W. Jewett, Miss C. Sturdivant, Charles F. Allen and Henry P. Torsey. The success of the school had always been due to the ability and self-sacrificing devotion of its instructors, and for three years it continued without other material support. The annuities could no longer be met; the scholarships were an incumbrance that could no longer be carried. In 1844, Dr. Allen resigned to join the Maine Conference, and Henry P. Torsey, who had been his assistant the year previous, was elected Principal upon the condition that he should furnish all the instruction, pay for all repairs, and receive all the income. The Trustees had absolutely nothing to offer save the location of the Seminary. The financial straits to which the Institution was reduced may be inferred from the statement of Mr. Torsey that after paying all bills one term he had twenty dollars left for his services. Men of i �31 affairs hardly understand the devotion and consecration of great souls to the life-work they have in hand, but out of this spirit the things that never die are born. CHAPTER XI Dr. Torsey’s Administration The ensuing Methodist Annual Conference met at Bangor (1844) and the Trustees of the Seminary arranged for a meeting at the same time and place. Its fiscal affairs were at a standstill, and they voted unanimously to surrender their interests in the Seminary to the Conference, according to the conditions of the Trust Deed, which offer was as unanimously spurned by the Conference; mitigating the refusal, however, with the proposal to still aid the Board with their influence in maintaining the school. This action of the Conference created a coldness between the Trustees and that body that was felt for years afterward. The Trustees met at Kent’s Hill soon after that and resolved to make one more effort for the relief of the school. Luther Sampson annulled all annuities and contributed fifteen hundred dollars toward needed improvements. The old Seminary building had become untenantable and a new one must be built. To this end, one fourth of an acre was secured in the northwest corner of David Wheelock’s field, the present site of Bearce Hall, and preparations made to build thereon. 'Squire Underwood, of Fayette Mills, had a kiln of pressed brick at the foot of the hill, intended for a new store, but which, instead, he sold to the Trustees, and these, together with the old brick procured from the Seminary that was being razed to prevent its tumbling down, sufficed to construct a plain, but neat and convenient school building, 40x60 feet, two stories high, at a cost of about three thousand dollars, half of which, as already noted, Mr. Sampson gave. Meantime, the school was in operation. The bell had been taken down and set up on four posts in front of the Mansion, and rooms enough for recitation purposes appropri­ ated from the boarding house. �32 Rev. D. B. Randall gave up his appointment to act as agent for the Trustees to procure the surrender of scholar­ ships and compromise or settle claims against the Institution. In this he was eminently successful, and secured funds neces­ sary for building the new Seminary. Many cancelled their claims, among them Dr. Allen, relinquishing one thousand dollars due on salary. The value of Elder Randall’s services in this year of reconstruction have never been duly recognized. He was a most successful pleader, and, though severely criticized by some, he accomplished a work that freed the Trustees from their embarrassments by scraping off the barnacles that had impeded progress. There was nothing left to them but their realty, and much of this, the farm especially, was much depreciated; but they knew just what they had in hand and what to depend upon. Debts were no longer staring them in the face; the manual labor scheme was dropped, and only the school was on their hands. This was placed on an independ­ ent basis by the arrangement with Mr. Torsey, and they began again. Looking back over the two score years, a visionary haze seems to envelope them. The convictions of a prosperous farmer that it was his duty to share his means with the com­ munity around him, the crude conception of how to do it, and the fear lest the means be misused, are by themselves a chapter in human life. Luther Sampson now practically retires from the stage of action. He has occupied the middle of the stage to the present time, but now has cancelled all obligations of the Institution he has founded to himself, and in addition has contributed nearly half of the new venture. He was of the Puritan type, brought up to the hard and fast facts of colonial times, and he looked at the world as it moved about him. He schemed for his pound of flesh, but when he had gained it he was willing to divide with the Lord. All men do not do this ’Tn SeyemiBht- Fafcher Robinson relates how at one time ..non Mr. Sampson was arranging with him for the bestowal ' three thousand dollars, he suggested that his son might not �33 be agreeable to this, Father Sampson drew back, and straight­ ening up addressed him: “Ezekiel, that money is not David’s; it is the Lord’s,” and to the Lord it went. Such men may seem hard to the world, but be it remembered that the mold they are cast in is not easily changed; it might not be bettered if attempted. That Mr. Sampson was disappointed in the business ability of some of the men he associated with himself is evident, and that he disagreed with them at times as to the methods of conducting affairs cannot be doubted; and that he early retired from the Board to avoid the vexatious dis­ cussions that men of theories without the practice were con­ stantly provoking, is still further evident. It is also apparent that his own views of what was desir­ able to accomplish changed; that it was an evolution of thought that worked out the conception of a Seminary such as would meet the wants of the common people. Mr. Sampson began by building as he knew, but ere the first plan was developed a larger structure rose up before him, and he attempted to adapt the same means to the larger end. To this end he had no experience as a guide, neither had any of those associated with him; hence the financial failure that followed. The conception was equal to anything that has been devised, but a hundred thousand has not been found equal to what ten thousand attempted. Dr. Torsey’s career as the head of Maine Wesleyan Seminary for thirty-eight years is one of the notable events of its history,—at present the most notable. With a common school education and such additions as he was able to make as a student and assistant where he was now in charge, his original research and wonderful tact soon placed him in the lead of educators in New England. The effect of such leadership was soon apparent. Students flocked to Kent’s Hill in such numbers that accom­ modations at the Seminary or on the Hill were inadequate, and the region around within a radius of two miles was taxed for board and rooms. The Trustees of to-day, in their monopoly of board, forget their appeal in the day of need and �34 how it was met. The desire for an education by those who can ill afford it is just as great as ever, but the world that has prospered has grown cold. The open door that Kent’s Hill once offered would fill its halls again. The growth of the school soon raised a clamor for more room. The confidence of the public was restored, and at the session of the Maine Conference in 1853 a convention of the friends of education in the church met to consider its interests. Much enthusiasm was manifested. Dr. Torsey advocated the broadening of the curriculum of studies to include a college for women. Generous sums were subscribed towards the erection of a new building, Dr. Eliphalet Clark, of Port­ land, heading the list with one thousand dollars, and others with smaller amounts. Rev. Stephen Allen was appointed agent to solicit funds for the object in view; and, to avoid the mistakes of former agencies, a separate Board of Trust was organized under an act of the Legislature, with the title of Maine Wesleyan Board of Education, for the safe-keeping of funds. The agency was continued year after year, part of the time in connection with a pastoral charge, Mr. Torsey and others rendering assistance, till a sufficient sum was raised to warrant the construction of a new building. Plans were obtained, and in June, 1858, ground was broken and the laying of the corner-stone observed by an address from William H. Allen, President of Girard College. Dr. Allen was himself a Readfield boy and an alumnus of Maine Wesleyan Seminary. The building now known as Sampson Hall was com­ pleted and dedicated in August, 1860. This time the address was by Rev. Charles F. Allen, of the Maine Conference. Dr. Stephen Allen, in addition to his agency, acted as Chairman and Treasurer of the Building Committee, kept all accounts, drew up all contracts, signed and endorsed personally all notes for borrowed money, till the Hall was completed and furnished at a cost of fifty thousand dollars. This was a large sum for the times, and a larger sum for a Methodist minister to be accountable for, but never a note went to protest, nor payment of a contract delayed beyond the time. �35 It was truly a monumental work, supported and carried for­ ward by the character of the man who stood for it. CHAPTER XII Woman’s College On the opening of the Fall term, 1860, a new mile-stone in the history of the Seminary was set; the curriculum was enlarged to include a college course for young ladies, the com­ pletion of which would entitle them to a degree. The faculty was increased to meet this demand, and the Principal became a President. Funds were in waiting to meet these advances, and the Institution was on a solid financial basis which it was pledged to maintain. The opening of a college for women was in itself a notable event. A Female Institute had been opened in 1856, at Carmel, N. Y. Mary Lyon’s Seminary for girls at Holyoke was in operation, and a still older one at Bradford, Massachusetts, but none of these conferred degrees. Maine Wesleyan at Kent's Hill antedates Vassar four years; Wellesley and Bryn Mawr, ten years, and Smith, fourteen years. For a time it met the purpose of its founder, viz.: to afford the girls who were in the same classes with the boys preparing for college an open opportunity to keep abreast of them, and was popular in so doing, but the shadow of the Seminary has always obscured the College. Its graduates, however, have always made good whenever tested, and are entitled to an honorary recognition by reason of their achievement with those of like educational institu­ tions in the land. J ustice required that a line of demarcation be drawn between the Seminary and the College, but this has never been accorded, and to-day it languishes because pro­ fessed friends have turned their backs to it at the last hour for the sake of a name; perhaps its light has gone out. Dr. Torsey closed his connection with the school as President of its Faculty with the Spring term of 1882, after thirty-eight years of continuous service. The latter years he had not been as efficient as formerly, by reason of impaired health, due to a reckless disregard of his physical powers, but that extreme personality was ever dominant. His aim ever �36 was to make men and women, rather than scholars, and he succeeded. Who that ever heard his impassioned address when a moment of inspiration was on him at the close of a chapel service was ever able to shake off the impression of the hour? He had his imperfections, like other great souls, but despite these he lived and will live in the larger life that his larger conception of life inspired in the life around him. All life is for eternity, and such lives lead the way up the ascending plane the generations of men are climbing, the ultimate of which is the Greater Man. CHAPTER XIII Bearce Hall One want supplied reveals another, and it was soon found that although a chapel and college recitation room had been temporarily supplied in Sampson Hall, the want of more class room was keenly felt. The teachers said: “We will not ask for a raise of salary if you will give us more room.” Planning for ways and means began anew. In 1871, Dr. Torsey’s Seminary was razed and the foundations of Bearce Hall laid, which was builded and first occupied the Fall term of 1874, at a cost of forty thousand dollars. This time a few men were prominent, and a general subscription avoided. Prominent among them were Samuel R. Bearce, of Lewiston, and William Deering, of Portland,—Mr. Bearce with twenty thousand dollars and Mr. Deering with six thousand for the chapel. Over twenty-five thousand dollars of interest-bearing funds are now in the hands of the Trustees, and twenty thousand, to which was later added fifty thousand from the estate of Dr. Eliphalet Clark, of Portland, in the keeping of the Maine Wesleyan Board of Education, the income of which was to be applied solely to instruction in the Seminary and College. Other funds had been contributed from time to time by generous friends for the benefit of students, library, etc., till the amount of investments for educational purposes exceeded one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. A Con­ servatory of Music and Art School were among the attrac­ tions of the school. �37 This was the condition of affairs when Dr. Torsey retired at the close of the Spring term, 1882, and was succeeded by Rev. Edgar M. Smith. Mr. Smith was also a Maine boy, an alumnus of the Seminary, a graduate of Wesleyan University and a popular preacher. There was now at the head of the institution a highly cultured man, who was to make himself known as a great teacher. He soon demonstrated this in his classes, and in turn gave a scholarly tone to the facul ty board that reacted on the school. Especially was this felt in the Woman’s College, and in this he was greatly aided by Mrs. Smith—herself a graduate of the College—by reason of her charming personality, felt by any circle in which she moved. President Smith was capricious in his methods of disci­ pline, and therefore was not always a success for himself or with the students. He continued in charge till the close of the Spring term, 1893,—eleven years. He had become some­ what restive under the restraints of the Trustees by their not seconding some of his plans, and in June of that year he was elected to and accepted the presidency of the Montpelier, Vermont, Seminary. CHAPTER XIV Blethen and Ricker Halls When Dr. Smith came to Kent’s Hill there was no President’s House, Dr. Torsey living in his own house, but again generous friends came to the rescue and Blethen Hall was erected, Alden J. Blethen, an old-time student, contri­ buting half the cost. A business college was instituted by President Smith, which was very successful under its first Principal, William A. Barton. The increasing wants of the Music and Art Departments necessitated the building of Ricker Hall in 1893. This enter­ prise developed another generous giver in the person of J. S. Ricker, of Deering, for whom the hall was named. Later, steam heat was introduced into all the school buildings by installing a plant in the rear of Sampson Hall. Many improvements were projected and carried out during this �38 administration, but in providing for them the Trustees departed from the rule that had prevailed up to the close of Dr. Torsey’s administration, that no expenditures be incurred before there were means to pay for them; and a debt of con­ siderable dimensions was piling up. When Dr. Smith left the State he was beginning to be appreciated as a public speaker and gaining quite a popu­ larity thereby. Let it be known that he was to preach at a given place, and there would be a congregation to hear him. He was not particularly brilliant, but attractive in his dis­ course; of the kind people liked to hear. The quest for a successor to Dr. Smith was a prolonged one. No alumnus or eastern man was available, and the choice fell ultimately on the President of a western college in the person of Rev. Charles W. Gallagher, a graduate of Wesleyan. Mr. Gallagher came to Maine Wesleyan highly recom­ mended. A fine scholar, an entertaining speaker, he entered upon his work with a large degree of promise. The broadness of the Seminary’s work surprised him. Whereas he thought he was coming to a merely preparatory school, he found courses of study equal to, as he expressed it, two years in college. His wife was a woman of culture, and the interest she took in the young ladies of the Seminary and College was not only helpful to them, but an aid to him. He was in a measure successful in the school room, but for some reason had not the tact and control necessary to be exercised in a school of such mixed character, and in the Conference embroglio over the Frank Jones affair at the annual session in Portland, 1897, he took advantage of the situation to resign. This incident in the history of the Board of Trustees deserves, perhaps, a passing notice. At a meeting of the Trustees in Portland, in 1896, there were four vacancies to be filled in the Board. Nominations and election to three of them were made without comment, but when the fourth was reached there was a halt. At length J. S. Ricker, sitting in the middle of the room with his hands on his knees in a thoughtful mood, raised his head and said: “I have a man, F t �39 but don’t know what you will think of him,—it is Frank Jones. I have known Mr. Jones a good many years and have always found him a man; his word is as good as his bond, I asked him not long since what he was going to do with his money when he was done with it. ‘Oh,’ he replied, ‘there will be uses enough to put it to.’ I said, ‘Why don’t you put it where it will be doing good after you are gone?’ He asked where. I replied, ‘There is the Maine Wesleyan Seminary and Woman’s College.’ He retorted, ‘I will if you will,’ and I answered back, ‘I have been doing it for three years; come on.’ ” Mr. Ricker said no more. The propriety of such a move was up to the Trustees. The vote on the election of Mr. Jones was nearly unanimous. President Gallagher and Dr. Allen refrained from voting. The Maine Conference was at the time in session at Auburn, but failed to notice the act of the Trustees. At the session in Portland, however, the following year, the matter was violently ventilated in a heated discussion. The result of the onslaught on Mr. Jones was, whereas he had purposed to equal the bequest of Mr. Ricker,—twenty-five thousand dollars—he ultimately cut it to ten thousand. CHAPTER XV Chase and Trefethen Administrations At the annual meeting of the Trustees in June, 1897, the President of the Board was authorized to engage A. Fitzroy Chase, then Principal of Bucksport Seminary, which he did before the meeting closed. President Chase was not unknown to Kent’s Hill. He had been a successful teacher of the department of Mathe­ matics during part of Dr. Torsey’s administration and was noted for his energy and forcefulness in whatever he under­ took; so much so that he often overstepped bounds; never­ theless, he was a great teacher. He was one of those men of quick comprehension, who take in the situation at a glance and proceed to act, regardless �■ 40 of others’ opinions, and hence their collisions. They are leaders; they cannot be trusted in the rear; they will run onto you. President Chase gave to the institution two forceful years of service. During the Fall term of 1899, he was attacked by a malignant abscess on his neck, whose virus soon entered the circulation, and he died October 22nd. Too early gone! On the decease of President Chase, Professor Henry Emerson Trefethen, Dean of the Woman’s College, was appointed by the Prudential Committee, Acting President, and continued to exercise that office during the school year and until he was elected President. Professor Trefethen did not take kindly to the office; its duties were irksome to him; he much preferred the quietude of his chair in Ancient Languages at a less salary, to the responsibilities of the presidential office, and was glad to resign it at the annual meeting in 1903. His administration was characterized by judicial firmness. He could not be aggressive, but was positive. He stoutly maintained that the student had rights that were to be carefully conserved, but woe to that student that forfeited his rights,—he appealed in vain. Professor Trefethen has been a long time in the service of the Seminary and College. He came to Kent’s Hill a young man at the beginning of his professional career. He has grown grey in the service. He has always retained the respect of the student body,—the one teacher of whom they have said, “If we ask Prof. Trefethen a question we do not have to wait till to-morrow to get an answer.” He has equally the confidence of the community around him. Public men who come in contact with him are surprised at the breadth of his knowledge in civic affairs, and accord him a high place as a man of sound judgment. We wish sometimes that he was more aggressive, more ambitious of position and distinction, that the things he has learned might benefit others more. May what he has been and still is to Maine Wesleyan Seminary long be recognized. �41 CHAPTER XVI W. F. Berry’s Administration On the retirement of President Trefethen from the presidency, in 1903, the Trustees elected one of their own number to the position,—Rev. Wilbur F. Berry, of the Maine Conference. Dr. Berry came to the presidency without the previous preparation of his predecessors. The little experience he had had as a teacher was afar off; his life-work had been in the ranks of the Christian ministry, where he had gained a deserved reputation. It was no surprise, therefore, that he found himself somewhat out of place at the head of a literary institution. He was not a failure, however, for, self-con­ tained, he turned his attention to the outside interests of the Seminary and College and succeeded in building them up by personal effort, as none of his immediate predecessors had. Such work is necessary to be done by somebody, and President Berry did it well. When he came to the presidency he was Secretary of the Maine Civic League, and that body had continually clamored for his return, to which call he yielded and resigned at the close of the Spring term, 1909. He is now reinstated in his former work, where he serves without a peer. CHAPTER XVII The Newton Administration Begins At the meeting of the Trustees, June, 1909, it was a debatable question how the vacant place of President should be filled and who should fill it. The Woman’s College had practically ceased to be; no need of a President for that. At length it was suggested that the Vice-President of the faculty be elected Principal of the Seminary, leaving the presidency to be cared for hereafter. The suggestion prevailed. John Orville Newton, Professor of Natural Science, had for two or three years filled that place, and, in the absence of �42 the President, had been the head of the discipline of the school. He was elected Principal without a dissenting vote. Professor Newton was well equipped for the work. He had had experience in the best of schools for discipline,—the common school. He knew the boys, and, perhaps, the girls, and has the tact to manage them successfully. He promises to make good. Beginning with Dr. Chase, the late Presidents have been of the alumni of the Seminary and graduates of Wesleyan University. A move of far-reaching intent was begun by some of the friends of the school during the summer vacation of 1910, having in view the providing of culture with entertainment. It is sought to accomplish this in the first instance by a highly finished and well furnished recreation room on the first floor of Sampson Hall, on the boys’ side, where healthful games and pleasant sports can be enjoyed; and an equally attractive drawing room on the girls’ side, where they can turn aside for an hour from the tiresome drill of the text-book to the joy and freedom of social intercourse. This is an initial step Towards admitting the claim of most cultured men and women that something besides the letter makes for education. If this develops, as is hoped it will, then may it be demon­ strated with the opening of this twentieth century that the true object of an education, as a few choice spirits have always claimed, is the making of men and women—the development of manhood and womanhood that will always and everywhere adorn society. ��1 ■ ■- �History of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary by Hon.

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

William Wood, Kents Hill Class of 1892 By Charlotte Killam, Class of 1963 The Rev. William Wood was my great-uncle. He died before I was born but this information comes from my mother, (Mary Wood Killam, KH Class of 1936) and family documents. William Wood was born in Ryegate, Kent County, England in the fall of 1863. He was the second oldest of what would eventually be a total of 9 siblings. His parents, John and Mary Couchman Wood had lived in various small hamlets in Kent County when John's work as a shepherd and husbandman compelled him to find new work. Lured by the promise of land he could own, he came to Canada in 1871 to investigate farming property. He went back to England in 1872 and prepared to take the family to this new land they would call home. George (1861), William (1863), Fred (1865), Horace (1867), Lucy (1869) and twins Thomas and Edith (1872) comprised the family at the time. Sadly, the young Thomas died just as the family as about to embark on their journey and his sister Edith died just after they reached Ontario. Joining them was Mary's mother, Elizabeth Couchman, or "Grandma Couchman" as she is referred to in existing records. My mother recalls her father, Horace, remembering chasing lambs in Kent and being awed by the White Cliffs of Dover. The journey by ship in the fall of 1873 lasted more than five weeks. The family landed in a tiny town near Toronto that fall and stayed there for the first six years. John worked on various farms in that area and about 1880 he was able to buy land about 30 miles west of Toronto in a place called Luther, near the town of Grand Valley. �nd harvest crops, and split There the family worked hard to clear fields, plant a years on the rails for fences. Two more children were born during t ese farm; Charles in 1874 and John Wesley In 1876. The boys worked long their father on the farm and there are no educational recor s them going beyond Grade 6. The family had converted from Church of England to Wesleyan Methodis leaving England. The Wood family was instrumental in building a Wes ey Chapel in Luther and Rev. William Wood prided himself that he had preache there several times. Eventually the children grew and chose occupations. George became a celebrated apiarist in Grand Valley; Fred and Charles stayed in the farming business in Manitoba and Ontario; Lucy married John Henry Pearce and in the 1890's became some of the first settlers in Regina, Saskatchawan. It is the story of the three brothers who came to the States, William, Horace and John Wesley, that is of most interest to me. Before they left England, the Woods were good friends with a family by the name of A. W. Shaw. The Shaws left England about the same time as did the Woods and chose to settle in Lisbon, Maine. Mr. Shaw opened a cobblers business that was quite successful and eventually provided more work than he could handle by himself. According to family anecdotes, he wrote to John Wood in Ontario and asked if there was a son who would be willing to come to the States and work for him. George declined the offer but William snapped it up. He HATED farm work and apparently determined that anything would be an improvement. So he came to Lisbon, Maine sometime in the early 1880's. But, alas, he found that he equally detested the cobbler business! My mother, Mary Wood Killam, said "So he decided that being a minister would be much easier and started on the road to becoming a Methodist preacher." He had work in Vassalboro and Cornish ME before coming to Kents Hill in the Class of 1892. We have no records of how many years he was a student or how he compensated for the lack of previous education. But when he graduated he had his religious degree from Maine /' , I �___________ Wesleyan Seminary and Female College (aka Kents Hill). His obituary states that he attended Boston University but there are no family records indicating that. Again needing help in the shop, Mr. Shaw wrote to John Wood and asked if he had another son who would be willing to undertake the same kind of employment. Fred, the next in line, declined and my grandfather, Horace, set out for the States. He worked in the shop for several years before marrying and moving to Readfield, ME to take up farming. By 1890 John Wood had died and Mary Couchman Wood did not have the means to adequately support the two boys still at home, Charles and John Wesley. So when Mr. Shaw offered to take another boy on as an apprentice, John Wesley was sent to Maine in the care of the two brothers who were already here and the Shaw family. John Wesley "took to the shoe business like a duck to water"' (family quote!) and when, a few years later, Mr. Shaw died, he left him the business. John Wesley ran that business for a few years and eventually entered into a partnership in Auburn, ME with a Guy Smith to manufacture shoes for children. The company was very successful and John Wesley became quite wealthy. The family always maintained that Rev. William Wood was "wild with jealousy and regretted that he had passed up the best chance of his life"! Rev. Wood married Helena Sterling Snellgrove of Berlin, NH in 1895. They had one child, Paul, born in 1901, who died the same day he was born. As is the custom with the Methodist Church, clergy are frequently moved. Rev. Wood served in many pastorates in Maine and New Hampshire; Colebrook, NH in 1893, Boothbay Harbor in 1899, Berlin, NY 1900-02, Bridgton, ME 1906, Cape Porpoise, ME 1908-10, Kents Hill, ME 1910-15, Madison, ME 1918, Kennebunk, ME 1922-26, Bath, ME 1926-28, Wilton, ME 1928-30. He retired to Bath, ME where he served that church for two years. Rev. Wood was known as "The Poet of Maine Methodism" and his poems appeared frequently in Maine and Boston newspapers. He published one volume of verse, "Kennebunk and Vicinity in Poetry and Pictures", in 1927. �Itimes The most memorable was in He went back to his childhood home several times. Qod Ki||am/ he, 1936 when, as a graduation present for my mother, a week trjp tQ brother John Wesley Wood and wife Eula, and my mot er place" she Ontario. My mother said that although she enjoyed seeing home to see was much more interested in the stop that they made on the way the Dionne Quintuplets who had been born the previous year. It was while he was serving as pastor at Kents Hill that he introduced his brother Horace to my grandmother, Bertha Symmes, of Billerica, MA. Rev. Wood performed their wedding in the Kents Hill parsonage on November 9,1911. My mother graduated from Kents Hill in 1936. My father, Robert Killam, had lived in Readfield but his family had moved to Danvers, MA by the time he started high school. My parents were married in 1940 and lived in Readfield for the next 30 years. I graduated from Kents Hill in 1963. Rev. Wood died in Bath Maine, in 1937 and is buried in Berlin, NH. The Kents Hill Hymn has always been special to me I I am giving the Kents Hill archives two notebooks of unpublished poems and a notebook of poems published in various newspapers, plates that were owned by Rev. Wood, his pocket watch that was a gift from Dr. Torsey, a pen knife that he always carried and a spoon owned by his wife Lena. �SK lj,i[l6m hJc(,l sn kiiii t "in mn LS—□UL_J .I— ^E~3!ZZj _JOC~3' ‘I 1?^1A :rrxzaq I*V1 »iK!

Stout-hearted, He hitched his wagon to a star. And on life’s journey started. Whither bound he scarcely hnew An inner urge commanded, He bade farewell to home and friends, His heart with hope expanded. His parents shared his youthful dreams. And, tenderly caressing, Assured him of their constant pray- [ ers And fond, abiding blessing. A Latin motto gripped his heart. Its simple English meaning, “Take no steps backward”,—Anti-, dote For all ignoble learning. Five decades have come and gone. Since that vision of the youth Urged him forth he knew not ■where. In search bf all-alluring truth. Now the man with tasks completed, Loved and honored far and wide By a host to whom those decades Made him Teacher, Friend, and Guide We crown, If tributes ever crown.

"When I took over in thirty-three Anation* s fate was mine," said he. "I promised this and I promised that, And I calmed them down with a fireside chat. I spent their money on fishing trips And fished from the decks of their battleships. I gave them jobs on the W.P.A. Then raised their taxes and took it away. I raised their wages and closed their shops. I killed their pigs and burned their crops. . I double-crossed both old and young And still the fools my praises sung. I brought back beer, and what do you thinfe I taxed it so high they couldn’t drink. I furnished money with government loans, When they missed a payment I took their homes. If I wanted to punish the folks, you know I’d put my wife on the radio. I paid them to let their farms lie still And—imported-£oods±u£fs jfrom Brazil. I curtained crops, when I felt real mean, I shipped in wheat from the Argentine. When they’d start to wori*y stew and fret, I’d get them to chanting the alphabet. With the A.A.A. and the N.L. B. The p.W.A. and the C.C.C. With these units I’d get their goats And still I’d cram it down their throats. My workers worked with the speed of snails While the tax— payers chewed their fingernails. When the organizers needed dough I closed up their plants with the C.I.O. I ruined their jobs and I ruined their health I put the screws on the rich man’s wealth. And some, who couldn’t stand the gaff, Would come to me, and how I’d laugh. Whem they chased me up on certain things, I’d pack and leave for old Warm Spring. I ruined all they had and them I placed the blame on nine old men." Now Franklin talked both long and loud As the devil listened with his head bowed. At last he said, "Let’s make it clear, You’ll have to move, you can’t stay here. For once you mingled with this mob, I’d have to hunt another job." lcqn ! 1 �P5V sawd » Yests “ <3JSents &Mymn Tune: “Matema” The fathers name and viewed this land, These hills and valleys fain Its lakes, like precious gems, adorn The landscape rich and rare: Kents Hill, Kents Hill, the beautiful, Long may this vision stay, Of hills and dales and fertile fields To cheer us on our way.

They were discovered in September, 1944, in Bearce Hall a trembling, lost, odd assortment of characters, come from who knows where? The faculty of Kents Hill first noticed them and after some consideration and consultation among themselves deemed them worthy of examination. The newcomers, now thoroughly frightened by these strange and august personages, offered no resistance but fol­ lowed silently and submissively where they were led to Mr. Dunn’s office. After examining their certificates of entrance papers with strange signs intended to denote the mental alertness, if any, possessed by the owners, Mr. Dunn more or less reluctantly accepted them as a part of the school. The first weeks were exacting. The young strangers, unused to the ways of intellectual refinement, made many serious blunders before they learned to follow in the well-ordered purposeful life of the experienced students. Gradually their barbarian ways became less prominent and were superseded by the polished Kents Hill manner. It was in social activities in particular that these strangers evidenced the greatest agony that first fall with difficulty they restrained themselves at such informal occasions as the Cushman picnic and the Country Fair. The formal dances at Christmas and the Winter Carnival were sheer torture to them. Suffer, persevere, and triumph they did, however, so that today they are immoderately proud of their record and wish to proclaim it here. So great has been their pro­ gress that after only three years of the influence of the school their savage natures became so mellowed that they captured many of the prizes offered at the 1947 Commencement. Merrill Bartlett had manifested so great an aptitude for social living that he was awarded the Kreger Prize; Anne Gleason had learned to write as well as speak the English language and earned the Colonial Daughters’ Essay Prize; Sallie Jane Hamilton had proved that she w.s capable of assimilating the little refinements of gracious living and won the Faculty Prize for the most orderly room in the dormitory. Jean Wills took the prize for the highest class average showing that those early certificates of entrance were not entirely false. Others in the class were recognized for native talent and constructive work were Noralee Hudson in music, Constance Barr in music and dramatics, and Lillian Thomas in cooperative spirit. Socially, too, these at-first-frightened foreigners had made an incredible advance at the Snow Ball the king and queen were James Sterling and Eva Scott. When the Maroon and Gray Key Society was formed ip the spring of 1947, nine of this band were elected to membership, a high honor, since they were charter members of an organization designed to play a large part in school life. The nine so dignified were Patricia Bailey, Constance Barr, Barbara Brandt, Rosemary Fettinger, Francina Hill, Eva Scott, Merrill Bartlett, James Sterling, and Donn Worth. In the fall of 1947 this group, somewhat altered from its original membership in size, entered the portals of the school for their last year of training. How changed they were! No longer awkward and wild but now graceful and gracious, they were �ready for the dignity and distinction of their senior year, a model of excellence for the underclassmen. True enough, at the fall picnic at the Cushman’s delightful home and waterfront they reverted to their early ways, being unable to resist the temptation of the prize pear tree. Since such relapses were rare by now, they were cordially forgiven. True it is that a savage can never be completely tamed. In October the entire school, emitting native war cries, journeyed to Hebron where they watched the Kents Hill football team brutally attack the Hebron gentlemen. After a long battle the Kents Hillers made a concerted and merciless assault on their enemies and forced a victory from them. Such rejoicing as resulted is unique in the annals of mankind. It continued, with the full ceremonies of the conquerors until Lewiston was reached, where consumption of a strange food, called the Italian Sandwich, effectively stilled all other noise. A little later the animal spirits broke out again, but since there was no enemy to conquer this time, the students exhausted themselves by climbing Mount Blue. Late October brought a sobering condition almost to the very campus of Kents Hill. Forest fires surrounded the school enveloping the whole area in their smoky haze. Then it was that the true generosity of the class of ’48 asserted itself. Boys climbed into trucks to be taken to the fires for active fighting; girls anxiously watched and waited and made sandwiches. School was finally closed for the duration of the emergency. A memorable occasion was that of the Armistice Day exercises. Deering Chapel was the scene of a stirring address by Mr. Cymbrid Hughes of Augusta honoring the men and women who had served in the past war. A plaque com­ memorating their service was placed in the vestibule of Bearce Hall and the Tower Music System, a constant reminder of their sacrifice and devotion, was installed in the tower of Bearce, from which float hymns, chimes, and carols throughout the year. The Maroon and Gray Key Society needed new members by this time to fill the vacancies left by last year’s graduates. The class of ’48 contributed Joan Drew, Charles Armstrong, John Boutilier, and Charles Cook. The members of the class, wanting to leave no stone unturned in this process of getting an education, participated in dramatic productions. In the fall they romped through the absurdities of the one-act play “Scrambled Eggs” and made their audience tense with the supernatural horror of the offering “The Opening of the Door.” Proud of its accomplishments in the social world, the class determined to make the Christmas formal the best yet. Laid aside was any suggestion of irregular behaviour. Beautiful gowns and decorous manners graced the Christmas-tree atmosphere of the Newton Gymnasium. Immediately following was the yearly observance which proves inspiring to all in spite of themselves the Christmas Candlelight Service at Torsey Memorial Church. Highlighting these impressive vespers was Noralee’s singing of “O, Holy Night.” Following the winter’s mental gymnastics in the form of mid-year exams, native spirits were again given free play at the Winter Carnival — hockey, basketball, ski meets, and the anticipated Snow Ball. Here was joy, indeed! At the Snow Ball, Rosemary Fettinger and John Boutilier were crowned king and queen. �Hockey, and basketball, and skiing vied with lessons for supreme interest of the students, but never did any member of the class of ’48 falter in complete devotion to his studies. Only one outside topic was allowed to interrupt the usual flow of academic conversation the weather. The questions “How cold was it this morning?” and “How much snow fell last night?” began to pall by the middle of March, and they settled into a dumb resignation to the possibility of another ice age. An unexpected interruption to the routine program came in a much enjoyed trip to the movie “Great Expectations.” At last arrived the round of activities which brought these seniors to the reali­ zation that their school days were almost over, and oh! how much they had learned! No longer, as in their early unenlightened days, did they grab food as soon as they sat down at the table; no more did they run up and down the dormitory corridors; almost forgotten were the days when they had yelled from the first floor to the fifth. Now they were the charming, gracious personalities they had dreamed of becoming. At the three banquets, held by seniors, dormitory boys, and Girls’ Athletic As­ sociation at the Worster House, each individual was a standard of courtesy and charm. The Class Day banquet and program was observed in the Sampson Hall dining room. In spite of the hilarity there was an undertone of sadness this was almost the end. The round of senior functions approached, was here final senior meeting at Blethen Hall, while the dorm boys made merry at the school cabin and the girls celebrated in the recreation room; final baseball game; the tea given by the hos­ pitable headmaster and Mrs. Dunn; and the Senior Prom mingling of sadness and joy, of laughter and tears. This is the history of a people and their amazing progress in four years they became worthy and honored citizens of Kents Hill School. Four years ago they closed these doors behind them. Then they were on the inside, uncertain of the future, confused as to purpose, doubtful of the wisdom of this step they had taken. Now they close the doors again behind them. This time they are on the outside: they have charted their course; they have determined their purpose. They face the future with courage. They take with them a storehouse of memories and the confidence of those who remain behind.

Harris, late President of the University of Maine. Dr. Harris was determined that scholastic achievement should be accorded at least as much recognition in schools as was given to all other activities, and he envisioned a society on the secondary school level, modeled on Phi Beta Kappa, which should encourage and reward the scholar. The only chapters of the Cum Laude Society in Maine are at Hebron Academy and Kents Hill. Cum Laude is an honor society, and only students who stand in the first fifth of the class are eligible if they have an honor record. To make election to Cum Laude is one of the chief honors by our standards, and we have had about two hun­ dred students elected members of Cum Laude. Every four years there is a Cum Laude meeting of all the schools in New Eng­ land. Kents Hill sent Mrs. William Dunn, Mr. Goldthwait, Marie Bean and Marion Davis to attend this meeting last spring. Students elected to Cum 'Laude in 1948 are: Merrill Bartlett, Frederick Mansfield, Jr., Beverly Wight, and Jean Wills. Faculty members who belong to Cum Laude are Mr. and Mrs. John O. Newton, Headmaster and Mrs. William Dunn, Mr. and Mrs. John Gordon, Miss Sylvia Capone, Miss Vivian Russell, Miss Mona Ingraham, and Mr. Malcolm Swett.

The Society upholds leadership, personality, courtesy, and school spirit, which enables all to contribute to school life at Kents Hill in a worth-while and wholesome manner. The functions of the Society are to act as visitors’ guide on campus, to sponsor each season’s sports banquet, to help greet visiting teams, and to meet and discuss student policies on various student activities. Of the twenty members from last year, eleven returned to Kents Hill last fall. At once the members began thinking about filling the ranks to capacity again. In December Joan Drew, Muriel Sprague, Charles Armstrong, John Atwood, John Boutilier, Charles Cook, Augustus Gregory, and John Harunk were elected by student vote. The Society sponsored the Fall Sports Banquet at which Patricia Bailey was toastmistress and Donn Worth toastmaster. During the evening the newlyelected were declared neophyte members. Sunday evening the neophyte members were initiated at Headmaster and Mrs. Dunn’s home. During the school years the members of the Society have been busy greeting visiting teams. In the spring the main function will be to act as visitors’ guides on the campus. Charles Cook James Sterling �i Third Row: Second Row: First Row. i KENTS HILL CRAFT CLUB L. Paul, S. Hamilton, N.

The members worked with few tools, trying to become true craftsmen, not tool-handlers. Metal tooling was the first undertaking. The completed designs were made into decorative plaques. Since confidence was weak and hands were shaky, the students attacked the less ambitious projects of braided leather belts, cigarette cases, and small purses. Lanyard making occupied some as did linoleum block cutting. A few launched out into glass etching and metal etching. Attractive painted-mirror coasters resulted from the diligent efforts of some of the Wednesday afternoon devotees. By far the most popular project was the making of moccasins from a commercially prepared kit. With the coming of spring, fabric painting appealed to many. Craft Club has been a source of enjoyment, but more important, it has pro­ vided the group with new interests for leisure time.

The Spanish Club meetings have been very ed­ ucational and recreational with the singing of Spanish songs and the playing of Spanish games. Here and there through the year the members have put on skits, exclusively for other members, which were meant to be comedies but were some­ times tragedies. Much of the conversation and recreation was carried on in our own Spanish lingo, by the fine example of our student-Spaniard president, Connie Barr. AH of us enjoyed the Spanish wit of Pattangall Nicolet even though some gi it was not humorous. Throughout the gatherings various members have given interesting reports on different Spanish-speaking South American countries. We duly appreciated Ann Graves’ talks on Mexico and her contribution of data for reports of other members. We have carried on correspondence with persons in South America, thus getting incentive for learning more about their countries and language. A moving picture with a Spanish background, too, added to the pleasure of our work. Ivan Witham �Third Row: Second Row: First Row: KENTS HILL DRAMATIC CLUB N. Arnold, R. Stephens, J. Aspden, M.

Palmer DRAMATIC CLUB ACTIVITIES Miss Russell While the entertainment value of dramatic productions makes their inclusion in the school program worthwhile for the school as a whole, their greatest value lies in the experience gained by actors and stage technicians in the use of their talents and in the cooperative effort which is necessary for a successful production. The fall program consisted of two one-act plays presented at the Newton Gym­ nasium, December 6, 1947. The first was “The Opening of a Door,” a play of the supernatural, which successfully communicated an effect of suspense and horror to the audience. Constance Barr, who appeared last year in “The Professor Roars” and “Our Town” played the meek and loyal wife to a husband plagued by guilty fear, a role well interpreted by James Aspden. Others in the cast were Marcia Corliss in effective characterization of the elderly mother whose murdered son returns for revenge; Mima Gilpatric and Bradford Ames as the young couple who help interpret the plot; and Lucille Roberts, who was comical and convincing as the terrified hired girl. The second play was a new farce comedy, “Scrambled Eggs.” At a lonely mountain cabin an odd assortment of characters arrive. They are the owner and his guest, played by Pattangall Nicolet and Herbert Seaman, and their unexpected and amazing visitors — a haughty movie star, Reno-bound, Margaret Wood; her husband, disguised as a Russian chauffeur, Raymond Stephens, Jr.; a middleaged woman aptly characterized as a “fluffy-headed idiot,” who adored her two �goldfish, Natalie Arnold; and her level-headed step-daughter, Marion Davis. The character conflicts which inevitably rose, augmented by isolation and a food shortage, furnished a mirthful ending to the evening’s program. Credits should be given to the production staff, as follows: sound effects and lighting, Frederick Worster, Dexter Blackadar, and MacDougall Palmer; properties lighting, Frederick Worster, Dexter Blackadar, and MacDougall Palmer; pro­ perties, Carollyn Flagg, Joyce Wheeler, and Joan Fairbank; prompter, Joanne Hart; posters, Margaret Choate, faculty; director, Vivian Russell, faculty. Members of the preparatory school and junior college senior classes who took part in plays last year are listed after the title of the play in which they appeared: “Thank You, Dr.” Patricia Bailey; “The Professor Roars” Constance Barr, Margaret Wood, and Marion Davis; “Our Town” Constance Barr, Noralee Hudson, Roy Chapamn, Sallie Hamilton, Robert Rooney, and Charles Armstrong. At the time of the yearbook’s going to press, plans have not been completed for the presentation of a three-act comedy in May. �Third Row: Second Row: First Row: KENTS HILL INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB P.

Feingold INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB RECORD Mr. Currier Realizing the importance of international affairs in the world in which we are living, a great number of students have shown great enthusiasm and interest in matters pertaining to the international field. Many of these students are those who do not have the opportunity of such discussion as they are not members of the social studies classes. The meetings of the club have been held every other Thursday in the activ­ ities room at Ricker Halt Here the grroup gathers to discuss world affairs and decide for themselves what steps they think should be taken to solve these problems. Mr. Currier, a member of the faculty and history department, is the leader of the group. Through him the members receive a clear picture of the subject under discussion and, with his help, begin to analyze the problem and give their opinions. The many topics discussed this year included the Marshall Plan, Communism, the fate of Czechoslavakia and Finland, presidential candidates from the different parties for the forthcoming elections, and the Palestine problem as it stands today. Many of the members have benefited by these discussions, and all have gained considerable knowledge of world affairs. The season has been a source of pleasure and profit for the entire group.

Feingold FRENCH CLUB RECORD Miss Capone Marion Davis President Rosemary Fettinger Vice-President Robert Rooney Secretary Charles Armstrong Treasurer The French Club under the capable leadership of Miss Capone has had a very successful and enjoyable year. The club met once a week to discuss current events in France, to put on French skits, to participate in French games and to talk over the various ways that they could help the school they adopted in France. This school, like Kents Hill, inasmuch as it, too, is a four-year preparatory school and two-year junior college, is situated in a town called Le Chambon-sur-Lignon in the Haute-Loire region. The name of the school is College Cevenol, and it now has enrolled some 250 pupils. Up-to-date Kents Hill (the New Look!) has sent its sister school eleven packages composed of clothing donated by all the students. Each package has been gratefully acknowledged by friendly letters written by teachers and officials of the school, some of whom are Americans, by the way. The letters have been read in chapel and have helped to develop a real, feeling of friend­ ship between the French school and the students of Kents Hill. The officers of the club, Marion Davis, Rosemary Fettinger, Robert Rooney and Charles Armstrong have, in no small way, helped to make the club the huge success that it has been. The patience and hard work of Miss Capone, the officers, and the members of the organization, it has become one of the most popular groups the Hilltoppers have. It can truly be said that all members have benefited from being a part of such an organization. Joanne Drew I �Second Row: First Row: KENTS HILL CHOIR L. Roberts, E. Heald, J. Hart, J. Aspden, C.

Others, new at Kents Hill, gave additional talent to the group. Their faithful attendance at rehearsals and their cooperation in the programs gave a pleasant musical innovation that was enjoyed by all the students and visitors. The seasonable programs offered an opportunity for specialty numbers by Noralee Hudson, Constance Barr, Cynthia Cleveland, Sallie Hamilton, Kenneth Sprague and Gus Gregory. The latter, a newcomer this year, proved to be a great asset to the original group. There has been a variety of group numbers, solos, and duets sung at programs given during the school year. Mrs. Audrey Gray, director of the group, made this activity a pleasant and successful one through her persistent efforts and untiring guidance.

At the first meeting, the members decided to have no officers and they decided upon some of the subjects to be discussed, learned, or studied at their Thursday meetings. Since that time, we of the club have studied navigational charts their reading and course plotting with compass and ruler meteorology, map symbols, the reading of government weather bureau maps and airport weather reports with their special symbols, astronomy,the variable factors in dead reckoning, and Civil Aeronautics Administration rules and regulations. We have built, flown, and studied model planes in learning Elementary Aero­ dynamics. Several members have purchased CAA approved technical books through the club. In addition, members may be instructed in actual flying by Miss Wiggins. This club has given a great deal of fun as well as education to us all. James Aspden I ! !

Awaiting my arrival was to be the famous Merrill Bartlett, Esquire, who has been trying since my senior year at Kents Hill to convince me to accept the leading role in one of his first musical productions. A= I boarded my plane in Italy headed for London, who do you suppose should check my passport? It was none other than Lillian Thomas. We fell into deep conversation, and it was she who related to me the fact that Crosby Keay was to pilot me safely over the Swiss Alps. I had a very pleasant trip, but nevertheless I was glad to arrive in London even though we made our three-point landing in a deep blanket of fog. I had an hour to wait before my ship weighed anchor, so I went immediately to my stateroom and assembled my belongings. Knowing this was to be a fiveday trip, I thought I would look for some familiar faces as soon as we were under way. However, being tired from my plane trip, I fell on my bed for a short nap. It seemed only seconds later that a loud rapping disturbed my slumber. Opening the door, I looked straight into the eyes of the popular stewardess, Virginia Truche, who handed me the luncheon menu. We conversed for a short time and I dis­ covered that there were a number of our acquaintances aboard the ship. As I sat in the dining room having lunch, I was amazed to look at the head table and see that Dwight Chapman was the Captain of the ship! This brought forth memories of Sallie Hamilton. So, inquiring about her, I was told that she was on board, taking excellent care, as usual. Strolling along deck, I saw two playboys loafing in the sun, playing shuffle­ board. Ah-h-h-h, yes!!! I always knew that Charles Cook and Charles Armstrong would be bachelors. I wandered over to the swimming pool to see if I might catch sight of a familiar figure. There was much commotion at the far end of the pool; who should be completely surrounded by admirers but the former Miss Trinidad Eva Scott. Among her associates were the glamorous Barbara Brandt, Con­ stance Barr, and Margaret W’ood all soaking up the glorious sunshine in bathing suits of the latest style. It was five days later that I sighted the lightship off Sandy Hook. The man at my elbow informed me that Martin Johnson was now in charge of its upkeep. I exclaimed, “Why, I went to school with him!” We were now approaching the Statue of Liberty. As we lifted our eyes to the world-famous monument, who should we see but Joanne Drew brushing the statue’s teeth. Ah, good old “Drewsie” still joking around. Fascinated by the ease with which our pilot brought the big ship into the harbor, we simply stared when we recognized his face. It was no less than Gardner Richardson! As I walked down the gangplank, I was thankful to see Mr. Bartlett. Some­ what surprised, however, I saw he had a lady with him. It was his private secre­ tary, Elzina Cates. My, what a small world! The three of us hastily hailed a cab and directed our driver to the Biltmore. Hearing a familiar voice, we closely scrutinized his face Richard Berry! It was also very surprising to see Jackie Cadaret behind the clerk’s desk in the hotel lobby. �Rehearsals were soon booming along. It was then that I found that Donn Worth was to be my leading man; and Andi Gleason would be the costume de­ signer. Besides all this;, Nancy Gardiner would provide the piano accompaniment. After an extremely late rehearsal, it seemed good to breathe the fresh air (what there was of it!) and especially good to bump into Marian Luce, Jean Rolfe and Barbara Wyman. I was very interested to learn that they are now employed by three prominent brokers that were now financial wizards: John Boutilier, majority stockholder of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company; Russell Shepherd, President of the International Telephone and Telegraph Company; Frederick Mansfield, Jr., a powerful influence in the E. I. Dupont Company. Opening night finally arrived. Among the celebrities to attend were Jean Wills, owner of the Greater New York and New Jersey Cleaning Company; and accompanying her was a former classmate, Beverly Wight. A private box was occupied by Harry Thompson, escorting Francina Hill who is now the star model for the Neiman-Marcus Store, and Rosemary Fcttinger with her world-famous husband, James Sterling, the first American member of the Olympics to bring home the gold medal for downhill- Rosemary’s guest for the evening was Victoria Samaha who returned home with Jim after winning great fame as a lady member of Olympics. In the lobby, taking pictures of these world-famous people, were Mr. Robert Rooney, star reporter of the New York Herald Tribune and Jean Penta, progressive reporter for the New York Times. As the audience filed out after the final curtain call, I kept my eyes open for any familiar faces. Who should I see but three former classmates from Maine who were visiting the big city. They were Anne Allen, Marilyn Owen, and Vir­ ginia Welch all of them now teachers at dear old Kents Hill. Suffering from an infection of the larynx, after two months of acting, a rest in Maine seemed to offer the best opportunity for recuperating. Taking the State-of-Maine Express from New York, I began my journey to Augusta. I heard a man shout, “Have your tickets ready, please.” When I looked up, a beaming countenance shone down on me; it was Turner Perkins, the con­ ductor for the New Haven! Hearing a friendly voice, I looked about. “Beverly Latham,” I cried, “Where are you going?” “O Patricia Wyatt and I are returning for the annual August reunion,” she replied. After an unpleasant, tiring journey, I was more than happy to have my dear roommate, Patricia Bailey meet me at the Augusta station. It was relaxing to sit back in Pat’s ’5 4Buick and dream of the pleasant days to come in her Mount Vernon home. I was also very desirous of seeing her new museum of fine rocks and fossils which she has been collecting ever since her days at Kents Hill.

But, on the other hand, if spirit, the will to win, and hard work mean anything at all, the season was a success. Coach Swett was given a squad of fifteen boys from which to pick his first team. Most of these boys were in the light-weight class and had little or no ex­ perience. The team respected their coach and played to win every game, and even though their only win was with the help of the varsity reserves, they were never badly beaten. The team was always able to play an even game with their op­ ponents during the first half, but the second session always found them outscored. Had the team had ample reserves, so that the first team would not have had to play the entire game, many of the games could have been won. The team’s heavy-weight and easily their most outstanding lineman was Gene McCarthy. Much credit goes to the team’s coach for this, for Gene disliked football at the beginning of the season. But under Coach Swett’s guidance he found football his favorite sport. He has three more years on the Kents Hill gridiron.

After Kents Hill and Hebron pushed each other up and down the field for three quarters, John Harunk returned a punt to the two-yard line. Two downs later he pushed it over for the only touchdown of the game. The next game was the Livermore Falls game which'we lost. The following week the team came back to win a close game with Wilton, 7-6. The team came out on top again with an 18-0 win over M. C. I. John Harunk sparked the team, as usual, to a fine victory. The team traveled to Farmington the next week to trounce them, 20-12. This was the hardest fought, roughest game of all the season. A powerful Maine Frosh team walloped us, 34-0. The last game was a heartbreaker which we lost 18-7 to St. Dominic’s. The season was one to be proud of and one which most of us will never forget.

As it was the last year for all the varsity team member’s participation in hockey, we wanted to make it a good season. We succeeded in doing this in spite of all the casualties, resulting in many black-and-blue shins, twisted ankles, and broken hockey sticks. Each day some progress was made under the able direction of Coach Parker. Our first game was away with Wilton. Andi Gleason, dodging the opposing team’s defense, quickly scored our first goal. The game was a victory for Kents Hill. Two weeks later the old, faithful orange-colored bus was waiting to take us to Cony. We weren’t victorious in this game, though we were not defeated. We tied, the credit going to Jimmy Owen, our center forward, for scoring our three goals. �We followed the newspapers anxiously every day to note the triumphant results of Cony High. We played our return game at Cony. Much to our dis­ appointment the tower bell did not ring that day. This game showed two evenlymatched teams fighting with much spirit. We ended our season with a victory over M. C. I. A great deal of credit goes to that important member, the goalie. Joanne Drew let only eight balls go by her in all six games. The total number of goals made by us was 28. Patricia Bailey Rosemary Fettinger �FkinKnmnnn ■■ 10. si □□□ ss i Second Row: First Row: s lx* KENTS HILL JUNIOR VARSITY- FIELD HOCKEY TEAM B.

Miss Wiggins. Although most of the Jayvees were inexperienced, we profited by the coach’s careful guidance. Our game at Cony High, in Augusta, was played under unusual conditions as the field resembled a dust bowl! Blown about by a strong wind, the dust made it rather difficult for the players to locate the ball. Nevertheless, it proved to be an interesting, if not victorious, game. We also lost our game with Cony that was played at Kents Hill, but from experience gained in these two games, the returning members are bound to be Varsity material. Even this year we had two members, Constance Barr and Janet Caldwell, who were able to advance into varsity field hockey! Virginia Truche was a returning member to the squad, and that she had ability and popularity was proved by the fact that she was elected captain. The managers, Virginia Truche and Cynthia Cleveland, backed the team with their cooperative spirit.

Whether the weather was fair or foul, every afternoon at three o’clock ten or twelve strong-looking men could be seen making their way to the ski slope to ready it for the winter season. Armed with shovels, picks, saws, knives and fortitude, they were out for an hour of developing their muscles. These fair lads were never discouraged, for at the end of the trail a bulldozer was always waiting. Wonders were accomplished to the sound of dynamite, trees crashing to the ground not to mention “Red” Daniels’ jokes! The great opportunity arrived when Stephens, Holmes, and Stenger offered to clear the girls’ slope only to find the gals were missing but they did a great job! So hats off to the Outing Club for its efficiency and effort! Eva Scott Elzina Cates �18 Second Row: First Row: KENTS HILL BOYS' JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM Mr. Currier, G. Gregory, H. Seaman, R.

Mr. Currier came to the rescue to show the boys the techniques and rules and to give us his able leadership. He was more of friend giving help where it was needed than coach. The season began well with a victory after a very short period of practice. There were defeats when we became over-confident, but on the whole the season was a sficcess. On looking at the scores we might find that the team was weak on the court, but the scores will not show all the fun that everyone had- at the practice sessions, in the gym and the bus. The books do not show the times before practice when everyone fooled around and joked nor the serious feeling that each one of us had after practice. It was then that we would feel that “tomorrow” we should try harder and that we would try this, or that, play again. The time was well spent in the building of character and in keeping physically trim. None of us realized that we were in good condition until we had missed the game for a while. Our season was a success as it helped to round personalities and kept our minds busy with a good clean sport.

A large group of able men reported for the first practice. Soon after we started, Gilbert Philbrick, our center, had to leave school be­ cause of basketball injuries. This was a serious blow to the team. Within a few­ weeks w’e were fortunate in the arrival of a new student, Russell Shepherd. He was a basketball player, and tall enough to take Philbrick’s place. Again our hopes began to rise. Our team began to shape up for the big test before us in com­ peting with the best of Maine preparatory schools. As the season progressed we won and lost our share of games. Our most exciting and heartbreaking game was a loss to M. C. I. by a score of 57-51. Then we began to profit by our errors and went on to win our last four games. The highlight of the season was Kents Hill’s beating Hebron in the last game of the season. “Red” Kimball wTas the spark of the team with a total of 178 points for the season. Ed Perkins was also a serious threat from the corners of the floor. John Atwood was a help to the team by taking rebounds off the opposing team's board. Marshall Sawyer was a key man with his pivot shot from the bucket.

Although many of the games were very close, we usually came through a few points ahead, thanks to Miss Wiggins’ constant coaching and enduring patience. Outstanding forwards on this years’ team were Barbara Purssell, Carol Flagg, and Joan Weinfeld. Guards were Jean Rolfe, Carol Fogg, and Betty Shillaber. These six were usually on the starting line-up. Our best and most exciting game of the season was our next-to-last game which was with Cony. The score was very close all through the game and many times a tie. At the close of the last quarter, the score was tied, 16-16, when Barbie Purssell saved the day with a foul shot and won the game. This has been a happy and enjoyable season for all members of the Jayvee team, and we hope that next year’s Jayvees will be equally successful.

The most exciting game of the year was the Winter Carnival game with Lawrence High.

Under the excellent coaching of Mr. Swett, the team came a long way as can be seen by the steady improvement in the scores. Favored by good ice and plenty of cold weather, a stiff twenty-game schedule was played with much action and excitement provided for the onlookers who braved the cold. A good first line with Norm Higgins in the center and Herb Phillips and “Pinhead” Perkins on the wings accounted for most of our goals. Backed by a good defense and goalie, points were precious and many low-scoring games were played. Typical of these was the Lewiston game in which we played to a 1-1 tie after suffering an 8-2 defeat on their home ice. We all agree that it was a successful season with plenty of spirit and action, a good advertisement of the school, and a tribute to Mr. Swett. —Robert Rooney Turner Perkins �Third Row: Second Row: First Row: KENTS HILL BOYS’ SKI TEAM G.

Kents Hill had a stiff schedule planned which made practice very spiritied. The Rumford ski team came to Kents Hill on January 17. Rumford took an early lead and stayed out in front to the end. Charlie Armstrong and Gordon Fenton were Kents Hill’s only men to place. On January 24 the Hebron ski team came to Kents Hill. The Kents Hill team did better in scoring high in each event, but Hebron took most of the im­ portant first four places. �< I I I > I ■J____ 1 Our Winter Carnival came January 31, and with it came our first victory It was the fourth consecutive year that Kents Hill had won its own Winter Car­ nival. In the slalom Dexter Blackadar took first, Jim Sterling second, and Charlie Armstrong took third place. Ivan Witham placed third in cross country. In jumping Charlie Armstrong placed first this made the third time Charlie placed for the day. Winter Carnival ended with a “Snow Ball” at which King John Boutilier and Queen Rosemary Fettinger were crowned and the skiing awards for the day were given. Kents Hill traveled to the Wilton Carnival on February 7. In the field events of the morning Kents Hill was tied for last place. In the slalom and downhill events of the afternoon Kents Hill led the field which pushed the team into third place in final scoring. On February 17, Kents Hill traveled to Hebron for a return meet. There Kents Hill received its worst trouncing of the season. Eva Scott James Sterling �KENTS HILL GIRLS’ SKI TEAM Mi»s Parker, J. Wheeler, B. Latham, F. Hill, R. Fettinger, M. Davis, P.

Outstanding characteristics of our team members are below. Frannie Hill Captain Frannie a translation of music into motion, or smooth and easy grace on any slope. Pat Bailey showed such enthusiasm in one of our meets that on the way through a flush she decided to straddle a flag and went zooming down the hill with it! Rosebud Fettinger lost her ski in one of the races and she finished gallantly on one ski, hobbling to the finish line. Joyce Wheeler surprised us all when she took first place in downhill at Jay, and as a result she became an official member of the team. Bev Latham quiet, reserved, Bev has the right technique on the ski hill! Davie Davis certainly got in her share of sitzmarks at the beginning of the year, but she has shown us all that where there’s a will there’s a way.

A very few of the players had had previous experience, and these people spent their time trying to improve their techniques. This section included Vicki Samaha, Joanne Weinfield and Joyce Wheeler. Among those who had not played much before but who improved the most were “Dusty” Paul, Barbie Purssell, Nancy Lord, Polly Lewis; Marcia Cor­ liss and Nancy Jackson. Several exciting matches were played with Mr. Dunn and Miss Fairbank playing against Joanne Weinfeld and Joyce Wheeler. The outcome was the same each time a victory for Mr. Dunn and Miss Fairbank. The experience gained from these matches was good for the girls and all enjoyed them.

First base and second base, Vicki Samaha and Joanne Drew respectively, would have been a boon to any team. We were lucky we had them, not only as good ballplayers, but also for their never­ ending supply of humor on the field.

The first of these contests was “rained out” as Hebron’s clay courts were not in condition. Practice continued with an inspiration of Mr. Goldthwait’s a ladder com­ petition. The ladder is a form of intramural matches. Late in the season the meet with Hebron materialized as the Maroon-andGray and the Green teams met on Kents Hill’s courts. We won all but one match.

The girls gave untiringly of their time and abilities —cheering loyally through the blazing sun of the Hebron game and the blasting wind of the game with St. Dominic School. Whether their enthusiasm came from school spirit, or from a personal interest in the team, the girls certainly deserve praise for their hard work this year.

We balance on the brink of fears Trembling, with the knowledge of our power; And Time, driven by the spheres A vast shadow moves, a year an hour! Forget the old, the stale, the dead, With singing souls rise and amend! On this proud world our minds are fed; Youth flames within us, a helper, and a friend. Who knows what honours wait him on the morrow? Who knows how much his life doth hold? This is no time for fool’s grief or sorrow Come swagger! Come laughter! Come youth! Make us bold! The downhill road of life will tempt us — So easy to travel, yet stumble we may; For that gained with ease soon becomes worthless. Go forward with courage and take the hard way. There’s not a joy the world can measure Like that so soon it steals The joy of youth, our prize! our treasure! Given to us, with its utmost appeal. Oh Memory, write your praise Of ancient glory and decay; ■Your image soon will have no phase To torture us, when past we cast away. Have faith in Life, in Self, in God; Faith soon your trembling fears will soothe. The past is dead Hearken to this word, Come, take this step thou sacred, glorious, Youth!

Some day -- not this year, nor even next, but some day -the sports program will function far more smoothly and ef­ ficiently at Kents Hill, thanks to the existence of a versatile Field House behind the tennis courts, on the site of the present hockey rink. Throughout the country this sort of construc­ tion is proving invaluable in giving to all students more extensive athletic opportunities, summer and winter alike. The Kents Hill field house, which has by now moved out of the planning stage, will provide more field hockey practice room, better ice hockey conditions, more tennis courts, and a chance for baseball practice to get under way earlier and continue more regularly than the whims of Mother Nature usually make possible. Our field house will be of steel, artificially lighted and provided with dressing rooms. The gymnasium, now overworked especially in the winter, will be relieved of much of its congestion, and team performance will improve with the assurance of regular practices. Thus both student and school will profit by the new facilities of Kents Hill's sixth campus building. I ° £ A.; "tr- - . jft- i �A.

You rember how bad I usta talk and wright, well you oughter see me now youd never would beleive your eyes or eres neither. This here Kents Hill is wonderfull even for educiation. Miss Chote she told me wen I first came here thet she new they would be abel to de alot for me and they shur have. Starting rite in the first day wen we had meetins to get to no each other everyone with a nametag on him, and soon afterwerds dances up to the jim. One feller I think his name is Bert he ast me to dance but I didn’t dare to cuz my shoos werent broke in yit. The next Sun. we went to the coast to et lobster and I et seven, one more then at the Forth July Social last year. Youd have dyed to see me at the Saddie Hawkings dance, I wore a Buck Rogers soot that I borrowed from one of the senyers. Miss Butler was drest like a little girl she was very cute and Mis Mitchel was her mother, and the Galligans were in native costyune, Jermin I think. It was shur fun. Theres to much to rite I cant even rember half the things like the football games they wuz fun axept pore Larry Davy got hisself nocked rite out at Rockland, and the girls hocky was gud to. Ill allways rember Mr. Tilatson on his Back in the middle of the socker game becuz Kris Godsey tripped him up wuz he muddy. Then Mrs. Chase come and did she talk funny shes from Viginiar or somewheres. I went to Mount Blue and watched the crost-country fellers runnin in the rain they wuz good and tired to after it. O yes I saw some Plays, reel live playacters to I guess anyone can do it would you beleive it. The roommate of the best freind of the girl next to me wuz one of the playacters and wuz she gud Ill say. There wuz a western Play with Jimmy Cuzens and Bill Done and Bert Perry and it sur wuz a riott. And one called Chimbley Corner that was just beautifull with Polly Pet some­ thing and Karol Posick and other peepul, and one called the Twelve Lb. Look that wuz nice, onely I didnt understand it much. I think it wuz Englesh or some­ thing. Also there wuz a weekend called Home Coming onely nobody goes Home insted peepul come here old grads and such and we had a lekture by Docter Pettingill called Wildlife Mischif all about anumuls and birds werent they funny though and we also had a football game with a school called Holdurness and we wun. Just latelly we had a bankwet and et stake and ice cream and got Letters and Awardes and two boys Bill Heselton and Fred Stone got a big Cup for Good Sports and Sansy Buxton got a pin for GAA you no what that is. Thats the news sofar Ill write more later. Say hy to Jodey and keep the tracter oiled good and tell Mrs. Piggley she should send Elmer here its great well solong now. 28 �•r r » kO'Cs J5/ * G vi) r > r> -Ye- '; ' ■ / RTH3"' t )' r" ■ ? e^y ,_^ RS MH Dip/ -V®J V > * , (.2^ V jh.DEPT. -■ ==.

Take several underdressed youths, several large sheets of paper with num­ bers on them, a three-mile course through underbrush and swamp and muddy incline, a raw autumn wind, (a few rather puzzled but well-wishing spectators will help too) and a vague homing-pigeon instinct; bring to a boil with a fiveminute pep-talk and set in motion with the report of a .22-calibre pistol. That is the approximate recipe for Cross-country. This fall, after an absence of five years, X-country returned to the sports program at Kents Hill. The results of our meets with other schools, who have been at it steadily for years, were only mildly gratifying to coach Dunklee, but Don Taylor, running against marathoners from all over Maine, finished third in the state meet, with Arad Philpott and Link Turner carrying our colors over the finish-line just behind him. Alto­ gether, the prospects for the future are encouraging, and we hope that Xcountry will attract an even larger field of enthusiasts next year.

About twenty figures composed this Nativity scene: shepherds, Wise Men, Mary, Joseph, the Infant Je sus, the angels, plus the attendant animals -- camels and sheep and donkeys and chicken. The creche was placed on display in the ceramics room, appropriately housed in a stall-like box lined with straw, and many admiring visitors were attracted by the novelty and the excellence of the project. Elsewhere in the crafts room, the leather-pounders continued their Anvil Chorus all year long, and the looms were busier than ever. Even Miss Choate herself succombed to the lure of the warp and woof and turn­ ed out tweed material for a suit. Meanwhile, belowstairs, Mr. Bowden and his crew had a sizable pro­ ject under way: the construction of the Kents Hill First Fleet which, it was hoped, would invade Lovejoy Pond in the spring, converting it into a minor "mare nostrum." Below, master-builders Cadaret, Harmon, Rourke, Bowden (father and son), Harriman and Dunn are shown hard at work in the shipyards.

She says that a) that makes her feel better, and b) if she uses up all her Kleenex she won't have to take it home with her. We're all set to leave, just awaiting for our folks to arrive. I've just said goodby to Miss Choate, who says that I am without a doubt the most changed person here at school a) in charact­ er, b) in talking, c) and in looks. I hardly ever braid my hair anymore. Just when I am getting used to these civilized habits I am going to leave. You should be honored that I am spending these last few minutes writing you a summery of the spring term so that 1) you can see what it was like, 2) you can keep it and give it back to me so I'll remember too, 3) since I am likely to forget in time. These are the things I can remember from the spring: I. the last plays, called a) "The Neighbors" and b) "Suitable for Charity," with 1) Dotty Sylvester, 2) Lillian Gilman, 3) George Withee, 4) Joanne Goucher, and 5) lots of others; II. the track team—1) Don Taylor and Link Turner running, 2) John Nichols pole-vaulting, 3) Pete Hay shot-putting, 4) Hutch hurdling, and 5) Paul Grey keeping score; III. the picnics for a) sports and b) seniors and c) undergradu­ ates, and the IV. banquets at the Wooster House for both the a) boys and the b) girls. Lunnie Clark, they tell me, had such a big seegar that the teachers were a little worried for his health, and there was nearly a riott when the girls got back from their banquet and wanted to seethe movie, which the boys didn't want them to do. I remember also V. Bowlby at first bass and Mollie behind the plate and Mr. Dexter making himself unpopular calling the balls and the strikes; also VI. Pete Hay and Mr. Galligan at the last chapel, giving their best wishes to the seniors; also VII. all those a) chorus rehearsals that took presidents, as Mr. Dunn would always say, whatever that means, and all the b) will and professy committee meetings; and I remember VIII. that Mr. Currier was without one of his teeth, lower and IX. spring-cleaning, and cleaning up after it, what a mess; also X. Betsy Roberts who got very sunburned and XI. Fred Stone who got a scholarship and XII. the many June bugs that came into the dorm while we tried to study; and also the XIII. graduation ball, with its a) wonderful murales that Faith did, sort of Chinees and b) its wonderful orchestra that everybody liked; and of course XIV. the a) Baccalaureate and the b) Commencement and the 1) music and 2) prizes and the 3) caps and 4) gowns. There's a lot more, but I'm getting tired of these Roman numerals. We studied outlining last of all in English and I try to keep in practice. I'll see you all sometime soon. Probably I'll be on the farm this summer, but come next fall I'll be back here, you can bet. It's just great, it's a) one of the prettiest places and b) the kids and the c) teachers are swell and d) besides, look what it has did for me already!
