The classes are held twice a week, a thorough physical examination has been given to nearly all the girls, and the work has proved to be very interesting. TPTE FOOTBALL BANQUET The girls of Fryeburg Academy have started something which we hope will be instituted in the life of the school. It shows the spirit that is behind the athletic teams, and a spirit that exists noticeably in Fryeburg Academy. Members of any school activity always like to feel that the entire school is behind them in whatever they do. Interest so keen has never been shown before, and we know that it will be contin- ued. There are two girls that deserve to be mentioned, Esther Baker, and Ruth Peterson. They were, perhaps, the founders. Able assistance was given by the other girls of the School and Mr and Mrs. Frank Peterson. To top off the annual victory from Kennett High School a banquet was given to the squad by the girls. It was held in the Chapel of the Congregational Church. The tables were decorated with the school colors, and places were set for all members of the squad, the faculty, and those of the school who wished to attend. Placed beside each plate of members of the squad was a small football with a card attached which gave the name of the player and his position. The meal served was ht for a King and everybody did justice to it. Toastmaster LaCasce gave a talk on football, games played, the spirit of the school, and the future of the team. He also congratulated the girls on what they had done, saying' he hoped that they would continue their good work. Mr. Deer- ing gave a very good talk on football, and what it developed in the players. Capt. Quinn was called o.n and he gave ac- counts of the games, and prospects for the future. Farris and McKeen also said a few words. McKeen was congrat- ulated by Toastmaster LaCasce for telling the biggest lie of the evening. Thurlow, representing the Freshman Class. was asked to speak, but through Freshman modesty, he stated that he had nothing to say. School songs were sung. Cheers were given for the girls, Mr. and Mrs. Peterson, each member of the team, and for Mr. LaCasce, football coach. The party then adjourned to the gym to dance. At twelve o'clock the party broke up. Every one expressed hope that the Football Banquet would become established in the school life of Frye- burg Academy. , NILS Sonmzsrnom, '2G.
