18 THE ANCHOR the cooking class served hot oyster stew. This was very kindly supple- mented by hot coffee and dough- nuts served by Mrs. Williams. February 14-Was set aside by the Academy as Senior Day. A baked bean dinner was served in Fraternity Hall and salad supper served in the evening. Owing to the generosity of the public the Seniors cleared about thirty-five dollars. February 28-The Academy was represented at the state Y. M. C. A. conference for the secondary school boys by Carrol Hooper, Ercel Gordon John Pratt, Donald Berry and their leader Principal G. F. Williams. This conference was held at Brunswick and the groups and their leaders were entertained by Bowdoin Col- lege. March 1-Through the kindness of Mr. Parsons the Academy students were allowed to attend town meet- ing this year. April 1-The seniors and assistant teachers were much alarmed to find on their desks one morning an invi- tation to dine with Mr. and Mrs. Williams on April first. Of course it being April first thej: hesitated on accepting this invitation fearing that the dinner would be a fake but fearing to hurt the feelings, of Mr. and Mrs. Williams they finally ac- cepted. They were all there at six o'clock and believe me that dinner was no- fake. The joke however was yet to come. Mr. Williams had also invited a few of the young people in to spend the evening. Jokes were cracked, games enjoyed but best of all was the treat of peanuts and fudge. April 2--The Juniors gave an Oy- ster stew supper in,Fraternity Hall. The supper was well attended and about fifteen dollars were cleared. The Junior class wish to thank the teachers, scholars and friends who so kindly assisted them, As the Anchor goes to press the trustees of the Academy are secur- ing bids from contractors for the ref construction of the Universalist church. It is hoped the building may be put into a usable condition by the time school reopens in the fall. It is easy enough, to be pleasant When you're getting A's and B's But the girl worth while ls the girl who can smile When all she gets is D's.

I had a bone and a sirloin steak from the kitchen, because I had marched in the mud. For the benefit of the Zoology class Mr. Williams had secured some live lobsters. At the noon hour he was holding one up for some of the pupils to examine. This particular s.pecimen had evidently been engaged in a se- rious combat with his fellows as one of his chelipeds was missing. Pack- ard, who was absent at the explana- tion, rushed in and seeing the lobster, immediately exclaimed, Where's his other hoof? Conversation overheard in the Lab- oratory after school hours.
