THE ACADEMY BELL Then aside from our athletics, VVe must keep our standing high. First our studies, is the motto On which, ever, we rely. And our speakers and debaters, VVith a gifted fluent tongue, Backed by wit and understanding, Hear -their praises ever rung. Here are formed some lasting friendships, Which are severed not by time, And these many happy mem'ries Help to make our lives sublime. We shall sorrow, we shall suffer, And our hopes may fall and die, ' But shall rise again thru musing Cf the happy days gone by.' Now these days are swiftly passing Thru the corridors of time, And our youth is likewise waning In life's ever upward climb. So let's rise and ight together, And our goal shall be the sky, VVork and win, shall be our motto, As we, storms of life defy. When the Latin seems perplexing, Or the figures donit compare, Don't give in, but fight a battle, Those who win are those who dare. Un the book of registration, These are names which may bring fame To this grand old institution, And the Pine Tree 'State of Maine. Time alone will tell the story, Now we each must do our best, As did those who went before us, And proved worthy of the test. Room WADSWORTH, '27

MEMOIR at In the compass of a nation Which extends from sea to sea, There are many institutions Famed by men of high degree. Cf these gloried institutions Which are clothed in wondrous fame None a higher standing carries Than our old F. A. in Maine. Six-score fourteen years behind us Marks a date of great renown, As then rose that humble structure Gn the plain in Fryeburg town. In this lowly wooden building Taught that grand and noble soul, Daniel Webster, honored statesman, Who attained a lofty goal. Now behold! A large brick building Built by trained and skilful hands, VVith its pleasant shady campus In a new location stands. In the foothills of the mountains, On the broad elm arched way, Overlooking grassy meadows, You will find its site today. Thru the students' worthy efforts A HCW gym is standing near, - With a bounteous equipment, To the athletes' heart most dear. So our brave and sturdy athletes A Many contests light and win, s our shouts proclaimin vict'r g Y, Through the spacious structure ring.

THE A CA DEMY BELL I8 FRIDAY, THE THIRTEENTH By S.xM,xNTHA SLADE ffsuch an unlucky day! But then why shouldnlt it have I unlucky when it was Friday, the thirteenth. First thing fedilgl was to break my shoe lacing and that always does make me mad. I hunted around an, couldn't find another so I had to take a string an' by that time jake Cthat s my husbandj was t his breakfast. Then I burned the toast an, jake he wonit eat burned toast so I had to make some more. That took all my bread that I was savin' for dinner 'cause I knew I was goin' to be busy. Then I'd forgotten the cream for his coffee and just as I was comin' out of the pantry with a pitcher full I stepped on the cat an' went sprawlin', throwin' that cream all over my clean floor. An' while I was tryin' to get up, the cat jumped on the table that was near me an' up- set the pitcher of water all over me. I didn't get 'round to do my work for an hour after 'cause I had to get settled down agin after my fall. Qur cat was black an, I still think my unlucky day is due to her. I was plannin, to put a new cover on an old feather bed thatday. It was awful hot an' I dreaded to do it, but I thought I'd get it over with. Ild just started to rip it a little when the door bell rang, and I was in such a hurry to get downstairs that I caught my foot in the feather bed and pulled it right over me. I ,most smothered and when I got out I looked like a bird. But that bell was a-ringin' an' I hustled right down, feathers an' all. There was a man at the front door an, he just stared at me an' I sez to him that he needn't stare at me like that 'cause he'd been the cause of that catastrophe, an' he hnally got 'round to ask me if I wanted some 50313, powder, hair dye, perfume, needles, thread, an' a Hllllion more things. But I alwavs had wanted some hair dye S0 I gOt 501116.
