We have had an unusually successful year and in a large measure are indebted to our friends' the business men and women of Bangor and Brewer. We welcome this opportunity to thank them and hope that they will see fit to continue next year with their substantial help. To next year's Gracie Board we wish the best of luck and feel that they will do everything in their power to keep the Ora- cle in its high position among the school papers of New England. And it is with pleasure that we extend to the faculty, graduates, under-graduates and friends, our hearty thanks for their in- terest and co-operation and our best wishes for all time. '25 to the Faculty: The Class of '25 wishes to extend to the faculty a few words of gratitude and praise in farewell. Many of us little realized when we stood on the threshold of B. H. S. as freshmen, that the lives of two of the faculty would so closely and surely intertwine with ours, QIXEIIEEIIIIIESE H They are never alone who are accompanied by noble thouhhtsf' From them we have learned many things which will enable us to better ward off the undesirable things in our livesg and to make them what they should be. Their unfailing interest and ever-ready helping-hand have always been a source of inspiration to us, although we have never realized it as much as now-and to them all cannot be given too much praise and credit. To the whole of the faculty goes our sincere respect, thanks and best wishes. '25 to '26. Class of '26, we, the Class of '25 are now nearing our last days at B. H. S. Soon we will be leaving the school that has taken so large a place in our lives the last four years. So it is with serious faces and sad hearts that we pass along these few words of advice. As seniors, we have tried hard to look and act our party but there have been times when we have failed. Now, as you, the Class of '26, take our places, we look to you, next year, to set a high goal and profiting by our mistakes, come more nearly to reaching it than we have done. There are some things that we cannot tell youg you will have to learn them by experi- ence. But there are a few fundamental principles that it would be well for you to remember, keep your school spirit at a high pitch at all times, play fair with the faculty, and remember that they are doing everything for your own goodg and take your studies seriously. Good luck to you. CHARLES O'CONNOR MARION BLAISDELL . .

The extensive and abundant forests and the available water power were destined to give to the State a foremost place among the States of the Union in this industry. In the earlier years the sawing and preparing of long lumber comprised the chief interest. However, with the gradual depletion of the pine suitable for this long lumber a new phase of the industry has been developed. The large investment of capital necessary to build extensive mills has forced paper companies to purchase large tracts in the wild timber lands of the state in order to guarantee a permanent supply of raw mate- rial, pulpwood, for those mills. Today it 15 hardly realied by the general public to what in extent this ownership and the resulting industrial organization has proceeded. One of the larger paper companies has a full ownership or controlling interest in an area of two thousand square miles in Maine and has developed a system which, for ef- ficiency in producing pulpwood at the mill when wanted, is unrivalled. This company has built and maintains within this vast ter- ritory roads, transportation lines both over land and water, stream improvements, sup- ply depots, iarms- canneries, slaughter houses' immense machine shops and even a railroad: In fact they have developed a system which embraces all the elements of an industrial empire. In order to adequately supply the mills of this company two to eight thousand men .ngm GEF? Sm :FQ pp n-J Vi :O ow! '-1:50 :F- we-o Pg'-x -gm aw?- Sem of-r -hmm Omg H... E5 S-'Hg mag ,,.... 5 21 sr-:FS :ra nv'-5' 543 Meng, of men and has necessitated the construc- tion of a network of roads, totaling one hun- dred and fifty miles in length and equal to the best in the state. These roads, extend- ing from the rail heads deep into the woods and by coutesy of the company open to the public, have greatly added in making the forests of Maine accessible to both industry and recreation. A fleet of motor trucks and tractors, capable of transporting annually thousands of tons of supplies and equip- ment, are operated over these roads. Many improvements have been made on the small brooks and streams thruout this territory. Small dams have been built to control the How of water and most obstruc- tions have been cleared away to insure free driving of the pulpwood. Three especially large concrete dams have been constructed, each one of which would have been consid- ered a large project in itself if constructed at public expense. These larger dams con- trol the How of water in the main rivers and are of great benefit to the many communi- ties situated below in that they tend to re- duce the danger of freshet conditions in the spring of the year. Gver a dozen supply depots and farms are maintained where large stocks gf Sup- plies are kept. Here hay, potatoes and many small vegetables are grown. Several of these farm plants would compare favor- ably, both as to construction of buildings and production, with any of the state. As an adjunct to these farms the company has operated from time to time canneries and slaughter houses the products of which are consumed entirely in the camps. The many motor vehicles, sleds' tractor wagons and large pieces of machinery in use made it necessary to establish several large machine shops, said to be among the finest in New England. A full guage rail- road has been constructed to carry pulp- wood across the height of land between the Penobscot and St. John watersheds, thus opening to these Penobscot River mills a portion of the St- John timber land' Three locomotives and fifty cars compose the roll- ing stock of this logging line. All of this investment has been made solely to produce pulpwood, commonly known as four-foot wood, at the mill gates at the lowest possible cost. Each dollar has been spent with that only in mind. Of the method of operating in these woods it may be said that early in the summer foresters are sent out who outline the cut- ting area and locate the several logging camps. About August First crews are hired, consisting principally of French and Polish lumberjacks usually supervised by Cana- dian and American foremen. A set of camps consisting of bunk house, cook house, hovel and oh'ice are constructed. From fifty to a hundred men are located at each of these camps and from four to eight thousand cords of wood is the usual winter's cut. Six or eight camps under one superintendent comprise an operation. The trees after being cut and trimmed are sawed into four-foot lengths. This part of the work is usually completed by the end of December when the wood is landed, that is, hauled on small sleds to a landing place on the bank of a stream or on ice of a pond. Landing must be completed before the ponds or streams break up- April fifteenth usually being the latest date. With the sun rising higher in the heavens day by day and the warm winds beginning to penetrate into this north country, a scene of great ac- tivity developes. The driving crews suc- ceed the loggers and as the streams open the four-foot wood is started on its water route to the mills. As the days of high wa- ter are few these crews often work fourteen or ifteen hours a day, tossing the wood into the streams and watching the banks for stray pieces, dvnamiting ice clogs, breaking pulpwood jams and doing everything possi- ble to save even the last cord from being stranded, as the water drops- Between many of the rapidly flowing streams are dead waters or sluggish lakes- Here the wood is boomed and towed by motor boats and steamers to the outlets. By August Hrst a drive of average size should be in the storage ponds at the mills and thus the year's work is concluded. The story of the pulpwood as it passes into the mills and is treated with the various chemi- cals and comes out as the newsprint paper upon which many of our newspapers are printed is for other times and hands to tell. THE MUSTARD PLASTER Elsewhere we, the Seniors, have recorded our will, leaving to the undergraduates of B. H. S. the proofs of our affection. But that is not all we bequeath to them. Between our class and '26 there has never been unfriendly rivalry. To you, '26, we leave the Dramatic Clubg for the last three years you have looked forward to it, we know. VVe leave to you the Chemistry Club, bequeathed to us by the class of l924g for you we founded the French Club-for you we established and to you we leave the Latin Club. Juniors, we leave to you the responsibility of setting the example for the three classes following admirably in your wake. Sophomoresf you are only children now: but next fall you will assume your place as upper-classmen. Respect the class of '26 as Seniors, and follow their example always as they have followed ours. We are proud of the Freshman class, for they have been sponsored and tutored by HS, and have proved themselves to be nearly our equals in athletics, scholarship, and egotism. Therefore we charge them to up- hold the honor of this school-to carry on, as we have carried on, the best ideas. They must make B. H. S. recognized as the brightest spot on this old globe-they must succeed even in those few places where we 'fa 'H 'S INVELL I IV'ELI.EDISVEI .S IHID have failed. To you, 1928, we leave the re- sponsibility of giving next year's Freshmen a worthy example. Undergraduates, we charge you to keep up the enviable reputation the Oracle has won. We are the first board to place the Oracle first in the state of Maine. We are giving due credit to our assistants, but the head of each department, you will observe, is a Senior, and we promise that someday B. H. S. will be even prouder of us than she is now. To thinkin students will be saying years hence, that the immortal Whitman once trod these very corridors! That Paul Mar- tin and Gretchen Hayes, famed in the world of literature, recited in these very class- rooms! That Prescott Dennett, the widely- known journalist, was once the life of these study-halls! That the celebrated General Babb-the well-knawn critic, Victor Mc- aughton-once studied-here in B H. S.! To think that Arline Palmer, the greatest humorist of modern times, once roamed these classic halls! That Sidney Paul, ed- itor of Life wrote for the B. H. S. Tatler! We give the Oracle into your keeping, we have chosen and admonished next year's board for you, and we know they will make good. Juniors, Sophomores, Freshmen, we tearfullyi yet gladly, bid you farewell. Good- bye, Miss Robinson! Vale, Miss Webster! Au revoir, Madame! Adios, Mr. Asnault! -The Class of '25. Junior Peroration to Class of '25. We're sorry you are wiser, we're sorry you are taller, we liked you better foolish, and we liked you better smaller. We're sor- ry you have wisdom, and we hope you won't display it, but since this is you gradua- tion, we suppose we shouldn't say it. We liked you before you thought you had the wisdom of the ages, and we hate to see our playmates change from naughty kids to sages. You are not half so charm- ing since middle-age befell you, but since this is your graduation, we suppose we shouldn't tell you. However, Seniors, you're good sports and we like you all, you know, and though we're for your places, the Juniors hate to see you go. We- the noble class of Bangor High School, 1925, being of sound and sane mind, and being about to take our ball and bat to another diamond, do hereby record this, our last Will and Testament: To the juniors we leave .........

FREEDOM FOR THE PHILIPPINES In 1520, Magellan, on his voyage around the world, discovered the Philippine Isl- ands, and took possession of them in the name of Spain. For over 375 years, the Filipinos endured a rule, harsh and barba- rous, endured atrocities and persecutions without parallel. Their subjugation taught them the meaning of liberty. They cried for their freedom, rebelled constantly, but they never realized ther dream. In 1898, the battleship Maine was blown up in Havana Harbor by the Spaniards. In- fluenced not only by this dire deed, but also by sympathy for the trodden Cubans, and.F1l1p1nos, America declared war against Spam. America conquered and in a treatv with Spain, the Philippines, with other lands, were ceded to the United States, For three centuries, the Filipinos had fought Spain for independence, for that no- ble icause, they fought with us against Spain in 1898. At the clase of the war they expected their freedom from us, and rose in rebellion- when it was not granted them. 'S 'H 'EI IAIVELL XHHDOH CI IEII:I .S IHIO What is your reason. for not granting us our rightful liberty P they asked. Presi- dent McKinley replied to them in an official statement, The United States has no policy which admits its authority in the Philippines to be permanentg the stars and stripes are implanted upon that soil until such time as with safety and success, the islanders can handle the exigencies of gov- erning. Relying upon that policy, the Filipinos threw down their arms and coop- erated with the American Government in carrying out our policy. Together they im- proved education, government, and re- sources. The American rule has never been haish. In fact, our domination has been very gen- erous and lenient. Some citizens of our country cannot understand why the Fili- pinos are not content to remain under American rule. Let them but harken back to the days of 1775, to the days of Patrick Henry. Give me Freedom or give me Death, was the cry of the American in 1775, and today it is the cry of the Filipino. The Filipino is thankful to the American people but he wants to be free. Liberty is his birthright and it cannot be denied him. To strengthen our promise to the Filipi- nos, the Jones Act was passed by Congress in 1916, which declared that as soon as the Philippines had a stable government they would be free. For several years the Fili- pinos have declared and have shown that they have a stable government. They have fulfilled the one condtion. Now, opponents of Philippine independ- ence advance other objections, which have no bearing upon the question since the United States put forward only one stipu- lation, that of having a stable government. However, we shall take up a few of the greater objections and show how unfounded and pretended they are. An objection that is most commonly put a people just advanced from the stage of up is that the Filipinos are semi-savage or savagery. Whether they believe it or not, the opponents of Filipinos state that the islands are in the same stage of savagery as the American Indian of a few centuries ago, that they indulge in head hunting, and hunt with the bow and arrow. Those days are gone as much as the Indian warfare of our country has disappeared. Of a population of ten and one half mil- lions, ten million are Christians and have been for 333 years. Most of the others are Mohammedans. Certainly we cannot call them savages. Can we call them an unedu- cated people, when the percentage of liter- acy is 70 per cent, higher than the percent- age in Italy, Greece, Roumania, and Bul- garia and many other smaller nations. There is a college in Manila, which is 20 years older than Harvard University, the oldest college in America. To say that the Filipinos are savages, when the islanders have better educational systems and a greater degree of culture than various coun- tries of Europe, is a mere supposition and has not a particle of proof. Another objection is that American in- terests are best served by our continued occupation of the Philippines. In 1919, the total crop value in the islands was S230,- 800,000, and in late years has continually increased. Under American rule, many Americans in the islands and their associ- ates at home are securing fat slices of these millions. They find the islands are very ben- eficial and t is to their interest to see that the islands are retained. This objection is horoughly selfish and un-American in prin- ciple. It can be said that the 32303001000 are the reason for all opposition to inde- pendence. Moreover, by the Jones Act, the Philip- pine independence hinges upon only one condition, that they have stable govern- ment. Nothing else matters. VVe should not continue to put objections in the path of Philippine independence. We require the Filipinos to have a stable government- Since 1916, the government of the Philip- pines has been in the hands of natives. Their entire government is modeled after our own. The Filipinos have a good finan- cial system, a good judicial system and an excellent and popular government. The only American ofiicial in the islands is the governor-general. Practically alone, the Filipinos have managed their government in a competent manner. What more can we ask? We can not refuse them independence and keep the honor which has so long been a part of the American nation. America has long been the most respected of all na- tions because she as never adopted an im- peralistic and land grabbing policy. Now our national character is at stake. The question of independence involves the hon- esty of a promise made by America, recom- mended by the late President Wilson and ratified by the Congress of the United States. The Filipinos demand their long promised and rightful independence. Can we refuse it to them? TRAVELOGUE On June 18, 1925, the class of '25, B. H .S., started on the long-planned and much-de- bated graduation trip to Washington. We were accompanied by Mayor Crosby and the High School band. After stopping off at various places, we finally arrived in the Capital City, to find that we had left Karl Larsen in New York trying to catch the eye of the Statue of Liberty. However, as we didn't think it was worth the trouble to tele- graph the New York police about him' Mer- rill Kittredge gallantly took Karl's place as leader of the band. We caused quite a sen- sation with our triumphal march through the city, led by Kittredge and ending with a loud blare on the White House steps. President Coolidge came out to see what the sweet music was, so we sang our class ode for him and the First Lady. Then all our junior exhibition speakers recited, our prize debaters paraded their talent, and our ath- letes staged a track meet, with the Pres- ident's team the winner of the potato race. Mrs. Coolidge was so pleased by our bright and winning ways that she invited us all to dinner and-well, who among us would de- cline an invitation to dine at the White House? After dinner, we were serenaded by the Marine band, which of course couldn't compare with our high school band. everyone agreed. After Mr. Coolidge had explained why he raised Cain-to his oftice-he bade us a lo- quacious good-night, saying that he had never before had the pleasure of meeting a group of such charming and talented young- sters. Mrs. Coolidge's good-night was a sort of magnificent echo of the President's, she telling us to drop in any time-we would always be welcome, for her distin- guished husband had few enough such vis- itors as ours to brighten his busy life. VVe all went calmly to bed to sleep that first night in Washington-but we awoke the next morning to a dire calamity-the hotel had burned down! However, through the intervention of some members of the Cabinet, those for whom there was no room at the White House were housed in an in- sane asylum for the remainder of our stay, and it proved a most delightful experience. After a week, we boarded the president's yacht, The Mayflower, which he had offered to loan us for our journey home, with all the people of Washington crowded upon the banks f the Potomac, weeping to see our youth and beauty departing their fair city, we had so endeared ourselves to them. At last we reached Bangor, to tell our schoolmates the glad news that John Town- send, Paul Martin, Philip Whitman and Charlotte Bowman were now members of the President's Cabinet. B. H. S. ORACLE BOARD, 1924-'25 I cannot tell how the truth maybe I say the tale as 'Tvvas said to me On Saturday evening, May 9, the annual singing contest was held. Sixteen solos were sung and there were six quartets. The first girl's prize went to llelen Mosher, the sec- ond to Louise llardy. The boy's prize was awarded l.eslie Couillard, while Frank Bur- rill and Shirley Berger received honorable mention- The quartet composed of Helen Mosher, Leslie Couillard, Marjorie Kendall, and Robert Smith was awarded the prize for quartet singing. This is the first year that much real interest has been shown in the contest, and we hope that the interest in singing will continue to grow, until it is as 1nucl1 a part of school lite as the orches- tra aud the band. The next Monday the prize-winning quar- tet sang in assembly and on the following Friday Helen Mosher sang in assembly. Another indication of the growing inter- est in singing is the general singing at as- sembly on Mondays. On the tenth of May' Dixie was sung, and a week later, the Star Spangled Banner. ln order to raise the money necessary to cover expenses, the track team has procured the aid of various girls out of each class. These girls make candy, the seniors for May 12, the juniors for May 19, and so on. On these days the candy is for sale at recess, and there is rivalry between the classes to sec which class has the privilege of handing the most money to the track team The Oracle before this has never suffered has suf- because of competition, much as it fered from other causesg but now, a new paper has sprung up in the school. The LL. journal. As yet it has reached no co- lossal size, being only ten pages long in the first issue-but it contains much hrst claSS material and members of the Freshman class are justly proud of its editor, Frank Cilazier. At the county contest in typewriting held recently, Bangor lligh school came through with fiying colors. ln the class A CSen- iorsj Louise Belinian won first prize with 70 words and Gertrude Gray won fourth with 58, thus bringing the cup to Bangor lligh for the year. ln class B Q-luniorsj, Marion Lord won second prize with 49 words. In class C tSophomorcsj, Carl Delano won first prize with 49 words: Ida Rappa- port won third with 38 words, a11d Verna jennings won fourth prize with 24 words. Thus this cup also comes to Bangor lligh, but for good, as this is the third year Ban- gor High has won it. A meeting of the Le Cercle Francais was held in the assembly hall May 11. Mildred Patten and Miss Elizabeth Alward sang. Professor Kenny gave a very interesting lecture on School Life in France. Profes- sor Kenny gave an account of how the stu- dent who attends a secondary sc-hool spends the day. A pupil attends the secondary schools between the ages of 10 to 17 years. Professor Kenny also stated that all schools in France are either private or public. Since 1831 anyone who wishes to may run a pri- mary private school by making a declara- tion to the Prefcct, and since 1851 anyone who wishes to may run a secondary private school by making a declaration to the Pre- fect. ln France competitive examinations are held in the different subjects such as French, Latin etc., as we have competitions in our school in athletics. After the close of the lecture refreshments were served. The entertainment committe consistd of Helen Stanhope, Annah Fairbanks and Priscilla Sawyer. r' In a recent meeting of Le Cercle Francais the club members had the pleasure of hav- ing Dean Robinson tell of her trip abroad. Miss Robinson said that she and her party rarely stopped at hotels because if one real- ly wished to live in the French atmosphere, boarding houses are much better. She visited Rotterdam, Cologne Germany and spent several days in Switzerland. She described Paris as a very beautiful city, the old part with its long narrow winding streets and the new wide boulevards which reminded her of Denver in our own country. Her description of the river Seine was very fine, speaking of its picturesque spots and the 32 bridges spanning from bank to bank. She spoke of the Dame de Paris which is seven hundred years old. The roof of this remarkable building being done in Gothique archetecture. Lastly she spoke of Le Louvre museum and the renound Arch de Triumph which commemorates a victory of Napoleon I. Dean Robinson's talk was Very enjoyable and interesting. French games were played during the remainder of the evening. Born to Captain and Mrs. Hervey A.

Miss Robinson is a graduate of Smith College in the class of 1890 and now holds the degree of Bachelor of Let ters, this degree is no longer given but as been replaced by Bachelor of Arts which at one time was bestowed only on students who had taken Greek as well as Latin and other college requirement. An article by the dean entitled Which Would You Have Chosen ? appears in the May number of the American School Board journal, this magazine is in the school li- brary. Miss Sylvia Parker, B. H. S. '12 and Mt. Holyoke college '16, is now in charge of poultry research at the University of Cali- fornia. Previous to this she spent one year at the University of Maine and six at Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene. She as also been research assistant to the fa- mous Dr. Raymond Pearl. In an article written in 1923, Miss Parker was ranked seventh as one of the famous scientific wo- men of the world . Mr. Joseph B. Parker, a graduate of Ban- gor High and U. of M., and brother of Miss Sylvia Parker' is associate husbandman of the United States Department of Agricul- ture, Washington, D. C. Mr. Parker's main duty as present is to travel over the different states and interview the diary supervisors about the progress of their work. Mr. Par- ker has traveled extensively over the United States, but makes his home in Washington, D. C. He is loud in his praise of Maine, however. In the last honor list for the junior class in the University of Maine's College of Technology the names of two Bangor High graduates appear. They are Joseph Daniel Doherty and Frank Plaister Morrison. These are two of the ten students who rank highest of their class in personal grade and average of scholastic standing, breadth of interests, and recommendations from their faculty and student associates. Mr. Doherty is among those who have attained this hon- or three times, or as many times as the list as been issued. Lieutenant Harold L. Milan, a graduate of Bangor High and West Point in 1917, has been detailed to serve at the Massachu- setts Institute of Technology at Cambridge.

For a month now the ambi- tious cadets in the high school unit have been drilling on special squad movements, snapping up, and putting as much polish as to put over a good exhibition- A regimental, possible on company formations in order parade and review was held on Friday morning, May 15, as a preparation for the big demonstration. The exhibition will take place in Broad- way park at 2 o'clock, Friday- May 29. After assembly and roll call at the High school the regiment will parade over through town and then procede to the park. There the ca- dets will march completely around the square Held forming a line parallel to the street. From this position the regiment will pass in review and then the companies will be formed in column of squads, and halted facing the reviewing stand, the commis- sions will be given out. The remainder of the evening will be spent in dancing. We expect this year's affair will be one of the most successful on record. The rifle team, although not winning the international or the Hearst trophy match, has made an excellent record and is surely an outfit for B. H. S. to be proud of.

S. during the past year have been very successful. The schedules of the ffootball and basketball teams were long and hard but the local boys stood up well under the strain and gave good accounts of themselves. The track team also deserves much credit, being captained and managed by M. C. Coffin- This outfit was greatly han- dicapped by the lack of a place to practice, there being no .cinder track in the city nevertheless after a poor start in the Maine meet the boys worked all the harder and alter running away with Dexter in a dual meet finished second at the Colby meet at XVaterville. A great deal of natural athletic ability has been uncovered at the High school dur- ing the past year. In football the surprises were few. But there were several of the boys who stepped into the lime-light for te first time. Among them were Mushy Rachlin- Bill,' Dailey, Jed McDonough, Cooney Strair, Bill Richardson, Frank rf 191 llufify, Everett McLeod, and several others. All these fellows deserve a lot of credit, and much is expected from those who re- turn next year. In basketball there were only three fel- lows who made good for the first time. These were Henry Samway. llaul llickson and Cooney Striar. Samway and Striar showed up particularly well and needless to say the former will be one of Bangor's best basketeers. ln track many unheard of athletes stepped to the fore and carried away hon- ors, But perhaps the biggest surprise of all were the showings made by Charlie O'Connor, high and broad jumpg Wacle in the 220-yard dash, Braley in the high and broad jump, Rice and Cox in the pole vaultg and Xvllllllllilll in the 440-yard dash a11d hurdles. The other track stars were Norman Bracket, Bob Bell, Lloyd Bridg- ham, NfVilbur Bridges, and Dan Kennedy. But in speaking of the rising young ath- letes we must not forget the veterans of many struggles. for it was chiefly through them that our victories were won and we hope that many others will be added to their list in another year.

It was the privilege of thousands of Am- ericans in the summer of 1921, at Plymouth, Massachusetts, to witness a grand and stir- ring pageant, commemorating the landing of the Pilgrims three hundred years before. The pageant was written and directed by a Harvard Professor, Geo. P. Baker, and was acted and sung by thirteen hundred people of Plymouth, Kingston, Duxbury, and Marshfield. It was produced five evenings in july, and seven in August, in the state reservation by Plymouth Rock. Every school child knows the romantic and pitiful story of the Pilgrims, and the sad picture of the little band of people, as they watched the Mayflower sail away for England, leaving them alone in the wilder- ness, is familiar to all. In all that great, lonely harbor there was but one small boat, called a shallop-while today Plymouth Harbor ranks second only to Boston among the Massachusetts ports of entry, receiving annual foreign imports valued at over sev- en million dollars. The story of the Pilgrims has been writ- ten in prose and verse by countless num- bers, and perhaps one of the most beautiful poems is that of John Boyle O'Reilly, read at the dedication of the national monument to the Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth, Aug- ust lst. 1889, in which he said: Give praise to others, early come or late, For love and labor on our ship of state, But this must stand beyond all fame and zeal: The Pilgrim Fathers laid the ribs and keel. It is doubtful if the Pilgrims would have recognized themselves in many of the eulo- gies, as they were a modest, unassuming people, and it is to be wondered, if they could have looked on at the beautiful pa- geant, with its thrilling scenes, the splendid lights, and glorious music, what their thoughts would have been. The pageant opened with a fanfare of trumpets, which slide into a chord sugges- tive of some grand hymn. From the vi- cinity of Plymouth Rock came a rich, pow- erful voice. I the Rock of Plymouth, speak to you, Americans, Here I rested in the ooze. From the ages primordial. Men came and went: Norsemen, Seamen of England, voyagers of France, Dutch adventurers, Over and round me The Indians worked, played, lived, I was a rock of millions along the shore, Waiting,-for what? To me the Pilgrims come, on me they stand, As one by one they land. Here they will work out their salvation, For this have I been waiting, waiting. Of me, the rock in the ooze, they have made a cornerstone of the Republic. This prologue was followed by a musical prelude, then a series of several tableaux- showing the first adventurers, and their experlences with the Indians. .Then the scenes in England in 1523 be- gin to appear with the music of a 16th cen- tury hymn being chanted by men's voices. The Royal progress of King james was glowing with color, with the reds of the sol- diery, and other bright hues worn by court- iers, and the gay trappings of the horses. It was a contrast to the austere garb of the Pilgrims. Q A pitiful scene insued when the Pilgrims try to embark for Holland, and the sheriff's men arrest many who have failed to get on board the vessel. Finally, they arrive in Holland, howeverg and then the dance of the Dutch lities oc- curs, again presenting a strong contrast to the ways of the Pilgrims. Then the impressive scene in Leyden in 1620, when the Pilgrims decided to start for America, and the embarkation from Delfts- havern in the Mayflower. The signing of the famous compact in the cabin of the Mayflower is the first scene in Plymouth, and then the first wash day, a homelike one, with the choir singing the Song of the Pilgrim lNomen. Then came the scene of the treaty with Massasoit. At the end of the trial and ban- ishment of john Lyford and .lolm Oldham an anthem written by Governor XNilliam Bradford was sung: They that sow in tears, shall reap in joy-. Wllile the singing is in progress Gov. Vtfilliam Bradford is seated. writing his his- tory of Plymouth by the light of a tallow candle. Standish, Brewster and their Pil- grims stand near. Then the lights reveal the figures of George Wfashington and Abraham Lincoln. The orchestra thunders forth a martial strain--the drums speak of war, and at the rear of the field appear the Hags of the al- lied nations and advance into the brilliant light. lirom the Mayflower comes a bugle call, and the voice from the Rock speaksg The path of the Mayflower must forever be kept free. Then the whole company assembled on the field at a second bugle call from the Mayflower, and the brilliancy of the lights grows steadily. VVhile they are massing about the field, the choir peals out the f'Re- turn of the l'ilgrim, and then come 48 young women bearing the flags of the states. Everyone looks toward the May- flower, while the entire lighting effect is turned on the field and ship, and huge beams of searchlights are sweeping over the sky. The field is darkened suddenly, and one light remains. focussed on the Mayflower, while the voice from the Rock proclaims the words of President Lincoln: VVith malice toward none, and charity for all, it is for us to resolve that this na.- tion under God shall have a new birth of Freedomfl The light on the Mayflower fades, and the great pageant is over. But its memory will survive, for the story of the Pilgrims will forever be enshrined in the hearts of all true Americans. 'l'llE STORY OF SILK Chinese myths date the culture of silk back to 2640 B. C.. almost 3,200 years be- fore its nature was understood in Europe. One of the three emperors to whom the Chinese ascribe the beginning of their an- cient customs was Huang-Ti, who is said to have invented the making of garments, which undoubtedly means an improvement in weaving. He is said to have instructed his Empress, Si-Ling Chi, to experiment with the wild silk worms, which lived on the mulberry trees, to see if they could be raised by the people. It is stated whether the silk in their co- coons had previously been, like linen or wool, not reeled, but spun. and then made into cloth, but this might have been possi- ble. The Empress collected a large number of the worms from the mulberry trees, learned how to feed them, and what is much more important, how to reel or unwind the silk filaments from their cocoons. VVhile this account is only a legend, it emphasizes the fact that silk culture was known in China from time immemorial. The industry naturally fell into the great divisions of raising the mulberry trees, pro- ducing the cocoons, and reeling and Weav- ing the silk. lt was early recognized that there were two kinds of mulberry trees,--the loo, or large mulberry, which was common in the north, and the king, or dxvarf mulberry, which was native to the south. The king was more hardy, but the loo had larger and more abundant leaves. For this reason the Chinese learned to graft a slip from the large on to one from the dwarf mulberry, and to raise the trees from such slips, with the dwarf one furnishing the root. I The briefest outline of the ancient Chl- nese rules for the raising of the silk worm will suggest what patient, painstaking care the industry demanded. In the spring the eggs were hung up to dry on the sheets of paper which were pro- vided for the moths to lay their eggs On. The sheets were then sprinkled with ashes, rolled up and deposited for the summer in a cool place. At the beginning of autumn the ashes were removed. In the middle of jan- uary the eggs were soaked for a quarter of an hour in cool juice steeped from the mul- berry leaves. Wlieii they were dry they were again rolled up and laid away. In the beginning of April, or as soon as the leaves began to sprout on the mulberry trees, the sheets of eggs were bathed in pure water for a quarter of an hour and spread out in an airy place until dry. ,They were then wrapped in paper and covered with cotton to receive warmth enough to hatCl1 them. ln seven days the silk raiser exam-- ined the eggs, and, if they had begun to change from slaty gray to pea green, they were watched very carefully for the coming of the worms. lf a few came out before the others they were brushed off as it was very important to keep the culture the same age. W'hen even a third were hatched, they were still wrapped up in paper as before. But the next day the sheets were taken out and spread in a warm spot so as to make the rest of the eggs all hatch together. VVhen the grubs were out, shredded mul- berry leaves were sprinkled over them, and they were then moved to some selected place and weighed. For every Ounce of grubs, the warning was given that the worms, before they spun their cocoons, would require 2,600 pounds of mulberry leaves, and it was estimated that they should produce from 150 to 160 ounces of silk. The most minute attention was paid to raising the worms. In the course of their life, until they begin to spin their cocoons, the worms change their skin four times. For each stage the Chinese had directions for care far too detailed to be repeated. The worms were fed five or six times a day with finely chopped 'inulberry ' leaves. When ready to spin their cocoons', the worms would stop eating and evince a de- sire to climb. They were then placed upon a spinning trellis constructed of bamboo and rushes. The worms would then dis- charge two silk hlaments in the form of a gummy liquid from two minute tubes in its lower jaw, fastening these hlaments to Z1 number of straws. These at once harden and act as supports for the cocoon. The worm would then double itself on its back. almost like a horseshoe, with its legs on the outside, and, emitting the' filament from its tubes, wind it round and round its body with rapid circles of its head. The worm then changes to a moth and after a while breaks through the cocoon. The Chinese discovered, however, that in order to reel the silk it was necessary to do so before the cocoon was pierced by the moth, as this fractured the threads. The ancient Chinese method of reeling re- quired the utmost patience and was inex- pressibly tedious. Several filaments from numerous cocoons had to be joined together by hand and required a great deal of time. The silk was then spun by hand and pre- pared for weaving. The earliest method of weaving was almost as crude as was the spinning. The threads to form the warp were stretched between the two ends of a frame which were as wide as the cloth was to be. The threads for the woof were drawn alternately in and out between those of the warp. Thus we can see how the Chinese people labored in ancient times to produce silk. But as each country took up the silk industry, many inventions became known to the world that greatly reduced the time requir- ed for the reeling, spinning, and weaving. The numerous inventions which took place during the European silk stagefwill give a conception of the furthest advance of the textile industry just before the manufacture of silk was established in America. However, the history of silk does not end here. It began ages ago with a humble worm in far eastern China, and has reached its climax on this Western Hemisphere in the greatest silk mills in the world. ' But this is only a pause in the story: its sequel is embodied in the wonderful fabrics into which silk is wroughtg in their bril- liancy, elegance and lightness,-and the pleasure and comfort they assure. CAESAR VISITS SCHOOL l Contributed by Julius Caesar's Ghost Upon Special Request of the Editor. Last week on the Ides of March I had the pleasure of visiting an English class.at Bao- gor High School. I traveled there in Orvis Earle's pocket, and I should probably have continued sleeping through the class accord- ing to my usual custom if .Orvis had not dropped me on his desk with what I con- sider unnecessary vigor. It's a little bit hard on an old man like Caesar to have his bones rattled around in that fashion, but I'm not going to find fault with Orvis. 'He is a most amusing young man. He reminds me of my old friend, Brutus. Brutus, you remember, thought he was doing perfectly right in stabbing me. Probably Orvis thinks it is good for Bangor for me to be dropped. , When I awoke, my first move was to sit up and look around. Who is that oppo- site with the lean and hungry look? I in- quired of Orvis. That is Vasseur, whispered Earle. Beware of such men, I said. They think too much and are dangerous. That Roman on the other side is much the same kind of person. That's Flynn. Should you advise me to have my seat changed? asked Orvis with a frightened look. I would not have it so, I growled. There are others behind you as lean and dangerous. So there you are l gasped Orvis. Eaton there, Aboot just behind, Ronan near the rear, Ford, Bowden, MacDonald on the other side, and Spencer-they are all lean. They read and think all the time. There's McNeil, too just ahead of MacDonald. Ay I cried just such a man was Casca! These men all have a plotting look like that of the envious conspirators who caused my death. I fear them not, yet are they to be feared. Such men as they never are at ease while they behold a greater than themselves, therefore are they dangerous. I will not think so, great Caesar, said Orvis. These are honorable men. It is true that they are plotters, though even now they are planning a conspiracy against transitive verbs. These verbs have become very powerful and ambitious on account of the conquests they have made over the students of Bangor High School. These honorable men, continued Orvis, wonder upon what meat our verbs do feed that they are grown so great. Ay, even in my day they troubled mef' I said. They would be crownedg there- fore do your classmates plan to slay them like serpents in the shell. Yet Orvis, be- ware of Eaton, take heed of Vasseurg come not near McNeil, have an eye on them all. Have about you men that are fat, sleek- headed men and such as sleep in class. Yes, whispered Orvis, such men are Godin, Cassidy, Stanley, Bowden, Glazier and Welch. I can see that they are honorable men. They love plays and music like Antony. But who is the youth who sits in the cor- ner? He looks sad. That is Oswald and he- VVhat, not old Cedric's steward! I gasped. Is Wilfred around here any- where? No, whispered Orvis, he has gone to the wars to slay more Saracens. That is the reason that Oswald looks so sad. I-Ie -Ssh. We had better keep quiet. Mr. Nichols is looking this way. This is an in- dustrial division, and we students have to be industrious. I was sorry to break off my tolk with Orvis, but I was feeling a bit sleepy. I hope to visit another English class on the next Ides of March.

I e Y- About thirty-hve members of the club marched into the banquet hall Ca screened off part of the assembly hallj at six o'clock to the music played by John Townsend. The tables were supposedly of Tyrian mar- ble, and the decorations of streamers and flowers. Incense was burning. VVhen all were seated the Pontifex Maximus offered a libation and invoked the favor of the gods. The food had to be eaten without knives or forks. Spoons were allowed for the beans, but otherwise it was necessary to eat everything with the fingers. Between courses john Townsend played a Roman flute, of course and a Greek lady whose initials are A. P. danced. Occasional- lv slaves in green tunics passed around wa- tier for cleansing the fingers. Between the last two courses, the Pontifex Maximus made sacrifice of cakes, wine, and salt to the gods. Leo VVhite was toastmaster, and intro- duced Mr. Proctor, Miss Robinson' Qwho spoke in Latinj, Lawrence Marm, Gretchen Ilayes, Helen Clough, Gertrude Ebbeson, Deane Benson, and Miss VVebster as the speakers ofthe evening. Frank Linnell, throughout the banquet, announced the sig- nificance of the various things unusual to Americans. The menu consisted of eggs, olives, radishes, chicken, beans, bread, grape juice, honey, nuts, raisins, apples and mer- ingries. On March 26, at the regular meeting of the Latin Club, Ifrofessor Peterson of the University of Maine spoke on Sicily. He described a trip he and a friend took through the island, through Messina, around Mount Etna, through Syracuse, l'alerma and to the Island of Stromboli. He described the country and recounted in- cidents of the trip, all in an extremely in- teresting manner. Ile also passed around photographs of the various places visited. Into a world which gets its intellectual fodder from cross-word puzzles and its pensive moods from examinations the freshmen have thrust the first issue of the L. L, journal-a typewritten paper, edited by Frank Glazier. This seems to be an echo of The Bang Qpublished by some members of the present graduating class, back in their salad daysj and even shows signs of becoming a formidable rival of the Oracle! ' To prove that we stand always ready to help a struggling young journalist, and to prove that we are not jealous of our admir- ers and imitators, we are giving the con- tributors of The L.
