We of Aroostook Central Institute, perhaps more than any other group, have realized the need for a public library. We have been limited to the very few modern books and cn- tirely insufficient' reference material that we found avail- able in our school library. Because of this limitation we are below the standards of other schools in this phase of our education. However, since the Literary ,Club was organ- ized, we have secured several books, at a small cost, from the State Library. The public library, there- fore, will be an invaluable asset to the students of Aroos- took Central Institute. Be- sides lts intrinsic value as a reference source, it will pre- vide good books of various types--biographies, plays. mod- ern novels, and short stories, all of which will entertain as well as instruct. The library is one of the greatest factors for the devel- opment of our minds. It fur- nishes a rich store of material upon which to draw for the development of disciplined, straight-thinking minds---minds capable of use in the solution of world problems. Magazine articles regarding current e- vents and world conditional ar- ticles on art, music, and trav- elg helpful books that are an aid to character building---all these are worthy of time. Com panionship with the leading writers of the past and present is an important pert of a well- planned life. Although we, the graduating class, will not fully receive the benefits of the library for our school work, we realize its value to the school. Our sin- cere thanks are extended to those who have been influential in establishing the library, We feel that you have taken a sin- cere interest in our welfare-- an interest that has definitely manifested itself by the estab- lishment of the Public Libraryf Violet Dyer '58 Co-editor

Such a memorable day it was when those eighty-one bewilder- ed freshmen poured through the palatial entrances of A. C. I. and im ediately lost themselves in a confusing mass of humani- ty -- or so we thought. Never- theless it was only a few short weeks before we were organized and happily started on our four-year journey. Now, as seniors, we still look back with pride upon that Freshman Classg and well do we have the right, for our class was especially active. Nine members were in the orchestra and seventeen contributed their sweet voices to the Glee Club. One girl was with 'the success- ful debating squad, four with girls' basket ball. In addi- tion we contributed members to base ball, track, cross country and winter sports. When we first assembled in our rooms as sophomores we found we had lost thirteen of our members. But always joy goes hand in hand with sorrow, and we found a brand new mem- ber, Violet Dyer, who came to us from Caribou High. Violet fitted perfectly into our class and our second year began like clockwork. That year although we gave eight members to the orchestra and three to debating our specialty was sports for we contributed two to cross coun- try, one to boys' basket ball and two to track. We also gave four to girls' basket ball, three to base ball, and seven to winter sports. Our junior year began with only fifty-eight members. But still we maintained our tafual activity. We gave seven the orchestra and seven to girls' basket ball. Other members took part in boys' basket ball, the Glee 'Club, winter sports, base ball, and track. Five of our members -- Janette Deeves, Scott Smith, Norma White, Paul Crichton and Violet Dyer -- were elected to the National Honor Society. . The greatest success of our junior year was the Junior Ex- hibition. Awards were given to Frances Irvine, Amy Libby and Norma White. Violet Dyer earn- ed a trip to the University of Maine as a dramatic speaker, and Frances Irvine participated in the annual Speaking Contest. . During our school life there have been many changes made in the school curriculum. Since a great part of our boys plan to be farmers, a very successful Agriculture Course was es- tablished during our sophomore year. 'Other very essential courses, such as Civics, Prob- lems of Democracy, General Mathematics, Commercial Law, and Business Training have been added. The Com ercial Depart- ment has been enlarged with one more teacher. Not only has our school env
