. .. . 7- N, is JCADEMIC UN1oN Q F o 0 nr - K Q Q BABBOTT FIELD Waterville has, for some time, played an extremely important part in the Held of sports and has held a record generally superior to that of rival high schools. Sure- ly our successful heroes havelan advantage and incentive in possessing our large and truly wonderful Babbott Field. This splendid playground, consisting of approximately six acres, was presented to Waterville several years ago by Frank L. Babbott of New York City. Mr. Babbott was the first graduate of the old Waterville High School. At first Babbott Field was used only as a social center for the community. Here picnics, track meets and town baseball games were held. Such activities .were not very frequent and so the field was, for the greater part of the time, unoccupied. At this period, school children entered Babbott,Field only as spectators of town festiv- ities. However, as time went on and these festivals became fewer and the field was more and more abandoned, they fell into the habit of stopping there daily 'for a few moments of play until Babbott Field 'became largely a school accessory. When a lot adjoining Babbott Field was chosen 'as the site for Waterville's new school, the school's jurisdiction over this playground became even more firmly and clearly es- tablished. Long previous to the building ,of the new school, the playground had been equipped with swings, chutes, a swinging trapese, and tennis court. The soccerlay- out was then added and the'ball diamond was greatly improved. r .r R 'hulk . all
