CHARLES A. LINDBERGH One feels instinctively that issue of the BELL should not go to press without a few words of praise and appreciation given to the outstanding man of the year, Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh. He has performed, in the course of his flying, some great outstanding scientific achievements which have bene- lited the whole human race. The fine example that his life has been to the youth of the land can hardly be paralleled in history. From the day in May, 1927, that he made his great flight from New York to Paris until the present time, the plaudits of the nations have been his. And his great mod- esty and sweetness of character have made him loved by all peoples in all lands. Long may he live, to enjoy to the full, this life's measure of happiness! RUTH WILEY, '29. SCHOOL ATHLETICS Every school has to have athletics. They are not only needed for exercise but also to keep school spirit at its height. At F. A. we have athletics for every season of the year. In the fall we have football for the boys and field hockey for the girls. In the winter there is basketball for both: and in the spring the boys have baseball and track, while the girls have a choice of tennis, field hockey, or track. It takes a large sum of money to put these teams on the field. It has been done, however, and this spring we are giving a minstrel show to keep baseball out of the hole. You see that it is necessary that everyone who possibly can attend the games. Fryeburg Academy's teams almost al- ways have been winners. Let us keep them so in the future. AsA O. PIKE, JR., '30, WHAT WOULD DANIEL WEBSTER THINK? What if Daniel Webster, the great statesman and also a teacher of Fryeburg Academy in 1803, should come back and visit the scene of his early endeavors. Would he find the standards and ideals the same as in his day? No. As the world has progressed so has our school. ' . '1' HE' A 11.4 IIICM Y ' B 15 1, 1, g M-W7 When Daniel -Weblster was the only teacher in Frye- burg Academy it was at small wo den building, located near Pixie Hill, with about twenty stugents. Today it is a large brick building, located in the northeastern section of the village, with nine teachers and over one hundred students. lt is an up-to-date modern school which the teachers and students strive to keepas such. Q Daniel Webster would certainly be amazed at our prog- ress, but I think that he would be glad that we have prospered. 4 3 - Daniel Webster was not much of a success at teaching, but became a realiborator and statesman. He had rather peculiar ideas in regard to education and often closed school in order to go fishing. He believed that one could study any time, but one had to Iish when the spirit moved. We are fortunate in having several pictures of Daniel Webster in school, but generally they are of a serious coun- tenance, scowling down, upon our numerous pranks. , ' ' E. A. H., '28. sv.

There is a great deal of credit due to these students, because winning an award requires concen- tration as well as accuracy and, speed. To receive these merits the tests are given for fifteen minutes. They are reckoned by the number of strokes divided by five to give the number of words, then the number of mistakes multi- plied by ten and subtracted, which gives the gross number of words, this is then divided by fifteen to give the rate per minute. The Royal people do not allow more than live mis- takes. The following have received awards this year: Rate per minute Rate per minute UNDERWOOD for fifteen min. ROYAL for fifteen min.

Last year's contestants came down with German measles just at the time of the contest, so we did not enter. O O lm V Y I Fi W p L Fryeburg Academy, on September 13, 1927, started its one hundred thirty-sixth year of work. There was an enroll- ment of 107 pupils. The teaching staff remained the same as last year with one exception: Miss Ruth Piper taking Miss Winifred Lowe's place in the French department. IVRESHMAN SUCIAL On Friday evening, November 11th, the Juniors con- ducted the annual Freshman Social. The infant class added to their already verdant coloring by a splendid showing of green neckties, and by the presentation of a few simple acts at the direction of their superiors. y The remainder of the evening was spent in playing games and dancing, after which refreshments were served. ' 1 'l'HIL' ACADEMY BELL 9 REDPATH CHAUTAUQUA LYCEUM COURSE During October a Redpath Chautauqua Lyceum Course, consisting of four entertainments, was given at the Harvey D. Gibson Gymnasium. Oct. 5. The Loveless Quartet Oct. 12. Beatrice Willer, lecturer Oct.19. Geoffrey Morgan, lecturer Oct. 27. The Boston Harmony Trio l I A portable stage has been erected and footlights in- stalled, so that it is much easier to present public perform- ances of any kind in the gymnasium. ACADEMY FAIR On Tuesday afternoon and evening, December 13th, the gymnasium was again the mecca for fun lovers, when the annual Fryeburg Academy Fair was given. The afternoon's program was for the entertainment of the town's younger children, and the evening brought the older people. This program consisted of seven bright, more or less impromptu sketches that were mirth provoking from the performer's standpoint, as well as from that of the audience. Several sideshows got the crowd, and the candy booth was well patronized. A large number of people remained for dancing at the conclusion of the fair. In spite of poor weather the affair was a success financially. WINTER SPORTS CARNIVAL AT NORTH CONWAY On a glorious mid-winter afternoon, February 13th, the Academy students were given the privilege of attending the finish of the cross-country dog sled races at North Con- way. Two trucks, with toboggans in tow, were the means of conveyance. SENIOR DANCE On Wednesday evening, November 23rd, the Senior class gave a dance at the K. of P. Hall. The music was fur- nished by Rosworth's Orchestra. MT. VVASHINGTON TRIP On Saturday, September 17th, Mr. Anketell, Mr. Lar- rabee and about twenty boys climbed Mt. Washington. The day wasn't clear but they all reached the top undaunted. I 'l0 THE ACADEMY BELL MT. ROYCE TRIP On Saturday, September 24th, a group of girls and teachers climbed Mt. Royce from North Chatham, N. H. The day was the clearest of the year. All the party reported a good trip and plenty of respect for Mt. Royce. Ml D-WINTER CARNIVAL Mr. Anketell conducted a mid-winter meet for both boys and girls. The events were as follows: Feb. 2. Snowshoe and Ski Dashes at the Academy. Feb. 3. Obstacle Race at the Academy. Feb. ti. Skating on Lovewell's Pond. Fclm. 7. Skiing on Pine Hill. SKATINC UN LOVEWELUS POND On Tuesday evening, February 7th, a large group of students. with Miss Johnson and Mr. Anketell, went to Lovewell's Pond, near the old battleground, for an evening of skating. They built a roaring bonfire and with the help of the lirelight and the bright moonlight, they skated a full two hours, while old Paugus' ghost stalked in silent bewil- derment in the background. MINSTREL SHOW On April 26th, the members of the Varsity Club will present a Minstrel Show at the gymnasium. It is the second thing of this kind that has been attempted, and, by the peppy choruses that were heard coming from the gym, one would judge that the rehearsals were going forward with zest. On January 26th, Mr. Samuel Stickney gave a very interesting talk on the Philippines. Mr. Stickney went to the islands in 1901 and was employed there for 26 years by the government. He showed us the situation in the islands as it really is, and when asked if the Philippines should be given their independence he said, They would be at each others' throats inside of a year. THE VARSITY CLUB'S PICTURES There have been two pictures given this year by the Varsity Club. The proceeds of these were to buy the Var- sity Club sweaters. College and The Country Doctor were well attended, and with one more the Club will pay the entire debt. This will be given on a date not yet decided upon. THE ACADEMY BELL 11 FOOTBALL BANQUET The annual football banquet was held at the Congrega- tional Vestry on Friday evening, November 18. The affair was a grand success, due to the zeal of the students and the good work of Mr. and Mrs. A. O. Pike, Mrs. Curtis Wiley, Mrs. Clarence Mulford, and Frank Peterson. Very few of us know what problems came up before the banquet committee or the thousands of details that are required to make a banquet a success, but anyway every- thing was there with all the nxings. The tables were cov- ered with blue and white, with place cards and favors for the squad. The boys were requested to step to the tune of Hit the Line for Fryeburg as played by Bosworth'S Orchestra and sung by the students. The Senior girls waited on the tables and promptly filled everybody until they were forced to cry for mercy. The menu consisted of roast chicken with stuffing, mashed potatoes, squash, fruit salad, ice cream, cake, and more cake, and The Cake. The Cakei' was made by Mr. Peter- son. It represented our football field with Fryeburg Acad- emy lined up to receive and the opponents lined up to kick. The bleachers were well loaded, there were many substi- tutes, and the goal posts were as stately as ever. The only trouble was that Coach was forced to stay still in his efiigy of icing. lt was a remarkable piece of work and everybody had a sample. After the feast songs and cheers were in order, and Mr. LaCasce, the toastmaster, called upon Captain Ed. Buzzell, Ed. Emerson, Norman Gray, Kenneth Bonney, Coach Anketell and Pete Ballard. After the banquet everybody went to the gymnasium and spent the rest of the evening in dancing. DEBATING Debating was carried on with the same vigor this year that it has been in the past years. The question to be debated this year was: Resolved, that all Allied debts made previous to the signing of the Armistice should be cancelled by the United States. When trials were held it was found that there was but I2 THE ACADEMY BELL one veteran, Robert S. Littlefield. However, the team buckled down to work and got arguments which seemed very force- ful to us. The judges, however, did not think so. The triangle was formed of Bridgton Academy, South Portland High School, and Fryeburg Academy. Bridgton Academy and South Portland proved to be two formidable foes. The affirmative team, Mr. Robert S. Littlefield, Mr. Asa O. Pike, Jr., speakers, and Mr. Carroll Hill as alter- nate, were defeated by the Bridgton Academy negative team. The negative team, Mr. Donald Dow and Miss Eloise Jones, speakers, and Edward Meyers as alternate, were defeated at South Portland. Now with this year's disappointments, the team looks ahead to next year. It looks a bit more encouraging, as there will be four veterans of this year's team back. 9 .ws .- 1 . .,,,,g,..,,Mx L..s-www we -N-mm W Q-.W 1114 THE ACADEMY BELL THE SENIOR DRAMA This year the Seniors presented Green Stockings for their annual drama. The play was a great success through the clever acting of the cast and Miss Farris' coaching. Celia Faraday, a young lady approaching the freezing point, was excellently played by Eleanor Lane. Edward Meyers as Colonel J. N. Smith, D. S. O., acted the part of a bluffer and a lover with no little ability. Olive Stanton acted the part of Mrs. Chisholm Faraday with a skill that brought her many compliments. No others could have been chosen who would have played the parts of Celia's three sis- ters better than Ruth Mills, Esther Charles and Elizabeth Hill. We never imagined Edward Buzzell as a young man in love, but as Hon. Robert Tarver he certainly showed us that he knew how. Kenneth Small did very good work at acting the part of William Faraday, Celia's father, who was eager to get her married so he could live at his club. Leon Ballard as Admiral Grice, Randolph Andrews as James Raleigh. and Robert Littlefield as Henry Steele, were friends of Mr. Faraday and more or less in love with his daughter, Celia. Theodore Anketell played the part of Martin, the butler, to perfection. At the dance which followed the drama the cast gave Miss Farris a bouquet of roses in appreciation of her coaching. MUSIC During the past year Mr. Hurd has kept up his splendid work of developing the Academy chorus and orchestra. Under his supervision the A. M. Abbott Choral Society was able to present the following program for the celebra- tion of National Music Week: Mayl. Vesper Service and address at the First Congre- gational Church 7.30 P. M. May 2. Lecture, Schumann as a Song Composer, illus- trated by Mrs. L. A. Dole 10.00 P. M. Piano Recital by Clyde Johnson, assisted by the Academy Chorus 7.30 P. M. Mayil. Piano Recital by Kenneth Meader and Leah Mclntire 7.30 P. M. May 4. The North Conway Chorale Union, directed by Mrs. Harold Mudgett, guest of the A. M. Abbott Society 7.30 P. M. May Piano Recital by Edmund Emerson, assisted by the Academy String Quartette 7.30 P. M. M:1y6. The A. M. Abbott Chorale Society, guest of the North Conway Society 8.00 P. M. THE ACADEMY BELL 15 The public was so pleased with the cantata, The King of Christmas, that it was presented again this year. On February 15th, there was a recital given by the chorus and piano students in the gymnasium. With the experience of previous years behind them, the voices of the chorus are at their best this year and show very careful training and selection. The chorus was for- tunate this year in having four soloists, Edmund Emerson, Charles Thurlow, George Bohm and Carolyn Gannon. CIRCULUS LATINUS The Circulus Latinus, which was introduced into the school last year by Miss Johnson, has been most successful. Meetings are held every two weeks in the Assembly Hall. Last year only Freshmen and Sophomores were admitted to the club, but this year Juniors and Seniors have been allowed to join. CEligibility lies in receiving and holding a rank of C+ in Latin.J This has made a much larger and better club, averaging twenty members as opposed to twelve in 1927. The officers for the present year are as follows: Consuls fPresidentsl : Marjorie Moulton, Clyde Johnson. Scriba fSecretaryJ: Eleanor Lane. Quaestor tTreasurerJ: James Guptill. Aediles fProgram Committeel: Esther Pike, Chair- man. Charlotte Wentworth, Edmund Emerson. At the meetings entertainments are provided which relate to old Roman holidays and customs. Programs this year have varied from shadow pictures depicting mytholog- ical characters to explanations of the Roman Saturnalia icorresponding to our Christmasl and the solving of Latin cross-word puzzles. The older members especially enjoyed the big Novem- ber initiation meeting of the year, when twelve trembling candidates listened to advice of the Olympic gods and dis- played their ability to react properly to a shocking Vergil book. This year the club has ordered pins especially designed with Circulus Latinus, F. A., and the Roman fasces as the main features. A play, Dido, the Phoenician Queen, to be presented to the public later in the spring, is well under way. This is something of an experiment, as a real classical drama has not been given at F. A. in recent years. In the hustle and bustle of present day life, few people stop to think of the beauties of the two civilizations which have formed the back- ground of our civilization: Greece and Rome. 16 THIS ACADEMY BELL THE COMMERCIAL CLUB On October 6, 1927, the Commercial Club held its first meeting for the year. This club, which was started last year by Miss Coburn, was organized to help the Commercial students to gain more knowledge of the business world. The meetings were held once a month. The officers for the year were: President, Harland Ballard, Vice-President, Ruth Pratt, Secretary and Treasurer, Evelyn Baker. Owing to the resignation of Harland Ballard, Ruth Pratt acted as President. For speakers this year we have had Mr. Benjamin Newman, who spoke about his trip in Europe a year ago, Mr. B. W. Tinker, who spoke on What I Expect from My Stenographerf' Mr. A. O. Pike, who spoke of the interest one must have in his work to become proficient, and he then told us about the insurance business, and Mr. LaCasce, who told us about the importance of a secretary. One of our meetings was devoted to entertaining the French and Latin Clubs, another to a snowshoe hike, in which nearly all the club members participated, and the entertainment of the alumni of the Commercial department. The year ended with a banquet at Ye Olde Inn, with a special meeting following at the Academy Hall. FRENCH CLUB With the help of Miss Piper, our French teacher, a French Club was organized. Only those taking French 2 and 3 could belong. Ofiicers were elected as follows: President, Ruth Wiley. Vice-President, Edward Buzzell. Secretary and Treasurer, Charlotte Wentworth. Many helpful and interesting meetings have been held during the year. On one occasion Mr. Newman spoke to the club. He told us about France, the customs and ways of the French people. Another time a snowshoe hike and hot- dog roast was enjoyed after the business meeting. Mr. Hastings told of his experiences in France during the World War. Our business meetings and entertainments have been various in form, but we have learned much concerning France and its people, and we have had many very enjoy- able evenings, so-Vive le cercle francais!

QJ I8 'l'IlIG ACADEMY BELL THE VARSITY CLUB The Varsity Club, which was formed last year, has taken on new and brighter aspects this year. This Club is fast taking its place among the leading clubs of the school, and the future will find it the most prominent men's club on the campus. At a meeting shortly after the end of the football season, the members of the club decided to have a varsity F. sweater. Since the initial cost was more than the school could stand, the members planned three movies to be given and the proceeds were to be used to buy these sweaters. Two of the pictures have been given and due to the loyal support of the student body and the townspeople, the pictures were a success both financially and otherwise. At the initiation the following football men were put through a cou1'se of sports for the benefit of the students and townspeople: John Hurd fMgr.D, Keisman, Norton, Pike, Steves, Meyers, Burton. Loppy McLaughlin, being the only new letter man in basketball, has offered to render a few solos for his right to be a Varsity Club member. It is rumored that McLaugh- lin will give a special Keith's act at the movie Saturday night before long. At a special meeting a committee of three men, namely, Buzzell, Perkins and Ted Anketell, drew up a new consti- tution and at the same time the following officers were elected: President, Dud Perkins. Secretary-Treasurer, Ted Anketell. 1 1 cis M 'rn lu! 11,4 mom Y um, 1, - 19 'f 3'-'5 5fT7 V Y Y-YYY? Zfliterzrrg CHARACTER SKETCH UF DIIJO fTr1Jfen from Ve1'gil's Aeneidj Dido, the tragic heroine, comes down through the ages the symbol of love unrequited: a charming woman, ac- quainted with grief, having but few illusions, forging ahead, building a mighty city. She has ability as a leader, but true to form, love overpowers her. Her reserve, once slipped at all, makes her an eager girl-sacrificing to any length, regardless of nothing but love. Rules entirely by heart-she is the personification ol' the woman of ancient days. To the same length that her love has carried her, so does grief overpower her. She, a queen, refused the homage of a man she had endeavored to interest, arouses all the fire within her. Shakespeare says, Hell hath no fury equal to that of woman scorned. Thus it was with Dido: beautiful, haughty, passionate, queenly, cold, carried to the heights of Olympus by love,--and down to the lowest depths of the shades by grief. She is not an ingenue, meekly mourning. She is a woman, demanding always the return of love as great as hers. GLADYS STEVES. THE BOAT RACE CF1'om Vefrgil's Aeneid, Book V2 With body arched and muscles straining, With heads awagging and eyes aflaming, The skippers of the ships do wait, fWith anxious hearts in a fearless statel, To race and win the dazzlng prize That glistens and sparkles before their eyes. 'l'IlE ACADEMY BELL Brave Gyas' galley takes the lead, But Cloanthus has a faster speed: He presses closely in the rear, While the heart of Gyas shakes with fear, Then Sergestus and Mnestheus, not a foot a Cause Cloanthus to harry his bark. When haughty, proud Gyas reaches the pole, Cloanthus goes by him towards the goal. Gyas then by anger swept Seizes his helmsman by the neck, And hurls him headlong over the side To either die or survive the tide. Sergestus gets stuck upon a cliff. Mnestheus urges the men in his skilfg He goes ahead on the ocean cold And passes Gyas brave and bold: They have no hope to win first place, But wish to be seen at the end of the race. Cloanthus' ship firstbreasts the tape, He receives the reward, the gold-purple cape. Mnesthcus, who is close behind, Takes second prize from Aeneas so kind. And then Sergestus, with his battered boat, With oars half gone and hardly afloat, Amid the laughter of the men, Safely comes and lands right then. Aeneas gives him, for his plucky work, A servant girl who is no shirk. She knows her stuff without a doubt, Or Aeneas would never have picked her out. With happy hearts and gleeful noise They leave Aeneas, and like small boys, Go next to enjoy the glorious foot race In which all the heroes give the chase. par Cll.xlu.l-is Tm mon ZW all Tull IC If A IIE M Y EE I. L W gwwgi THE HOUSE OF SEVEN CABLES It is a very interesting experience to visit The House of Seven Gables, which Nathaniel Hawthorne has made famous by his book of that name. It is situated in Salem, Massachusetts. I do not suppose that there is any house in America that has as many visitors as does this house. Some- times in the summer there will be as many as five hundred guests in one day. There are people there from every state in the Union at one time. A few years ago a wealthy woman in Salem bought the building, restored it, and used it for a community house, in which were held classes in cooking, sewing, and club work -mostly for the foreigners who live in that part of the city. It is at the foot of Turner Street, near the waterfront where the wealthy sea captains used to live. Now this part of the city is largely populated by Polish people. As you enter the house you pass through Hopsibah's store. There is a bell on the door which rings as you open it. They sell old-fashioned candies and gingerbread dolls like Hepsibah used to sell. They also have wooden toys and other gifts for tourists to buy. The kitchen is furnished as in the olden days. There is a mammoth fireplace on which there is a spit for cooking meats. There are also an old-fashioned foot warmer and pewter dishes. The dining room and sleeping rooms are furnished as nearly like Hawthorne's description as possible. The beds are great big four posters. Under one bed there is a trundle bed which pulls out for a child to sleep on. The most interesting thing every visitor wants to see is the secret stairway. The entrance to this is near the Hre- place in the dining room, one wouldn't notice it if he didn't know it were there. The panel opens by pressing a spring which is in the corner of the fireplace. You go up a very narrow stairway, where oftentimes fat people get stuck part way up and have to be helped through. Looking out the upper windows on the East one may see sail boats in Salem Harbor and off in the distance you can get a glimpse of the Atlantic Ocean and Baker's Island with a lighthouse on it. We might possibly see an aeroplane dying overhead. but, of course, in Hepsibah's day they were never heard of and when she looked out of the window, she might have seen large sailing vessels going to the West gg, . ,, j'111c,.4r:,1nEMY Blom, Indies or returning with rich merchandise, such as spices, silks. and shawls. Sometimes the sea captains would bring back boys with them to bring up in America. In a great many houses in Salem there are still beau- tiful pieces of furniture and shawls bought many years ago by the traders. If Hepsibah from her store window had looked in her day she would have seen horses and buggies going by. while today if one should look out on the street he would see street cars and automobiles. On the other side of the house she could see a garden of old-fashioned flowers. The recent owners have tried to make the garden like the ones they had when Hawthorne used to visit there, and the story is that he used to love to go out in the early evening and walk among the flowers and talk with the Pyncheon family. CAROLYN GANNoN, '29. WASNWI' IT BE'l'TEll! Merton Academy was a small prep school in Northern Michigan. Mertonville, the small town in which it was located, was typical, in that its interests centered about the school. It was drawing near the end of the girls' basketball season when a catastrophe fell upon the team--Jean Oliver, the left forward, sprained her ankle. That was the morning before the game. That day was mournful, everywhere there was wailing and gnashing of teeth. Jean Oliver was sixteen, small, and very pretty with blue eyes and jet hair. She came from a village about fif- teen miles from school. Her father worked on the river driving logs and there were many children. Jean, thus, hadn't been around a great deal. She was very self-con- scious and until basketball had scarcely been noticed. She roomed across from The Girl of the school, Constance Jacobs. Constance Jacobs! She was leader in everything, adored alike by boys and girls, tall, slender, with a red-gold curly bob, frank green eyes. and a disarming smile--the only daughter of an old professor, who, except for a weekly allowance and an annual summer visit to one of the four corners of the globe-might as well not have existed. 'I'IIlC ,4c.ln1cMy BELL mg 23 You've met the two girls: Jean Oliver, young, self- conscious, worshipping blindly Constance Jacobs, two years her senior, poised, well dressed, and clever. The only other character is a boy, nineteen, a newcomer, good looking, and accepted leader, and the desired male attendant for the mid- year Prom, Foster Blake. The game-the big game with Saxtons Seminary! lt was lost-unless- That afternoon found the gym half filled with a mourn- ful squad when Constance dashed in in uniform. The girls clamored about her--for everyone knew her father refused, despite all pleas and prayers, to let her go out for any sport. Yet here she was! Connie, what are you going to do '? demanded the captain. Play, if you'll let me, young one. She served the ball, dribbled and shot a peach from behind the center. But how can you ? Miss Peters isn't here, is she? Who'll know? If l'm any good--can't I, Lon ? The captain was worried. Here was a chance of win- ning--a slim chance-admitted, but a chance-Miss Peters, the coach, would rave but- Yes-Connie. Connie learned the signals, practiced a bit on baskets --took a shower and went over to the dorm to rest. Everywhere people were whispering, What a good sport Connie is, and What school spirit, and all that- while upstairs Connie and Jean Oliver lay planning very carefully her campaign. School spirit-oh, yes! 'She had lots of school spirit, but besides that there loomed, only ten days away, the mid-year Prom. Would Foster Blake ask her? He was known to say, I like good sports-girls that go out for the teams. Well-she'd be a good sport. The Chapel clock struck seven. She dressed quickly and hurried to the gym. A few minutes' practice-the game called-the whistle blew-the ball was in play-the rest was a dream. She played well. Jean Oliver watching, worshipping anew at her shrine and Foster Blake, watching with a group of fellows, told 241 THE ACADEMY BELL himself she was the girl he wanted to take around and to wear his pin. At the half he left the fellows and walking over to Connie-pulling her a bit away from the rest said, Good game-Connie-may I walk over with you tonight ? Connie's heart almost stopped. Thanks-yes, if you'd like too, she answered very low. The rest of the game passed-Jean Oliver watched her idol play well-almost brilliantly-and later saw Foster Blake, her male hero, take Connie home. Tears came into her eyes, but she quickly brushed them away. Shouldn't Connie have the best? That night Connie came into Jean's room for a moment and said, Jean dear, I played for you tonight as well as I could. If I hadn't known you were with me-all the time- I couldnlt have done as well as I did. And she kissed the younger girl. Jean went to sleep--happy-praying that she might grow into such a girl as Connie was-always, she wanted to be what Connie was. . No one knew of Connie's selfishness- Wasn't it better? GLADYS STEVES. A PERSON MY BROTHER WAS TO MEET AT THE STATION But how shall I know your maid from others '? asked my brother as he set out for the station. I will give you the description as she gave it in her letter, I replied. In this, she said, 'I will be dressed in a brown coat and a blue hat. However, if the day is hot, I will not wear my coat but will have on a red blouse. On the left sleeve of this blouse are three black stripes. I have one stripe for each of my dead husbands. I will wear a flowing calico skirt, red stockings and dark brown shoes! There, I said in concluding, from that you ought to tell the only thing that is missing, namely, that she is colored.

THE ACADEMY BELL 25 THE DEATH OF JIM Mc-KAY ' Out on the burning wastes of the Arizona desert, where the sun shone down with merciless heat, there walked the figure of a man with his burro. As he trudged along, he seemefl to be near exhaustion. His skin was hidden beneath the alkali dust which coated his features, while his tongue was swollen and his mouth hung open, caked with dust. The burro, more dead than alive, seemed to move in a trance. An hour passed, then suddenly the man dropped as in a faint. The burro stopped and stood lazily waving its ears as if to keep 05 some insect. Hours later, when the sun was gone and darkness reigned, the figure on the sand moved, dragged itself to a sitting posture, then to its feet. As you saw him in the half light, he showed himself to be Jim McKay, a prospector who had come to the desert, unknown, two years before. He was perhaps sixty years of age. His clothes, which hung torn and soiled, made him look like the hermit of some child's story-book. Finding the burro near, he approached it and took the Winchester from its scabbard on the left side of the animal. I-Ie then shot the burro and, going away a short distance, sat down. Next, from the pocket of his shirt he took a pencil, notebook, and the photograph of a beautiful girl of about eighteen. This done, he sat for a long time looking at the photograph. After placing the picture beside him he took the notebook and wrote for some time. Then putting the pencil and notebook back into the pocket, he took the rifle, pressed the muzzle to his temple, picked up the photograph, and pulled the trigger. As that shot rang out across the desert, the spirit of Jim McKay passed into the great beyondg and all was still. F. A. BAssETT, '30. THE DISCOVERY OF COLD IN CALIFORNIA AND THE R E SULTS With the close of the Mexican War in 1848 came the desire of the men from the Middle West to go as far as 26 THE' ACADEMY BELL Oregon and California. Some of these men had already traveled over a thousand miles to get to the Middle West from the East and now were anxious to try their fortunes on the Pacific Coast. It was in the spring of this same year that gold was discovered in California. In the Sacramento Valley, on a fork of the American river, about a hundred miles northeast of San Francisco, a mill race for a sawmill was being dug for Captain Sutter. It was while digging for this mill race that two men found some shining, yellowish metal. They took this metal to Colonel Mason, who was left in charge of California at the close of the Mexican War. The General examined one or two pieces. It was gold, real gold, that shining metal for which thousands have laid down their lives and for which many have tried the cleverest swindling schemes to obtain. As soon as this news was spread abroad, every man for miles around who could possibly get away, bought a shovel and started off to dig his fortune. That spring the homes were left unbuilt and the fields were left unplowed, for everyone had the gold fever. When news of the discovery of this gold reached the Middle West the desire of the people to try their fortunes in the far West was such as it had never been before. So when in the next spring of 1849, emigration by land and sea began toward California, the majority of the people were struck by this gold fever, while a few were still desirous of getting to this new land so that they might try their plows in new soil. So great was the desire to get westward that the people faced all sorts of hardships to get to the promised land. At this period there were no railways, not even good roads. The only roads were trails which had been blazed by the Indians during their travels from one section of the country to another. Some of the people went by the way of the Isthmus of Panama, others went around Cape Horn, while many of them went by land, going through wilderness. Those who went by land travelled in wagons, covered with white can- vas, which were drawn by horses and oxen. THIS JCADEMY BELL 27 Men, eager for gold and anxious to see this wonderful land of which they had heard so much, did not hesitate to take their wives and small children on this hazardous trip. Regardless of wind or weather, this mighty wagon train must go on and on over the scorching plains of the Middle West. Many died of sickness and exposure during this steady march. They left a trail behind, which was marked by the skeletons of horses and oxen and by empty food boxes which were thrown out. Men died and children were born in this white caravan, but the wagon train went steadily on. Sometimes they were met by unfriendly Indians and this meant the burning of wagons, stealing of food, and often loss of life. Eagerness for wealth inspired bad men as well as good to brave the many hardships in order that they might, too, get to this land of wealth and dig their fortunes from the soil of California. At times the bad men made serious trouble, but in California a Vigilance Committee, organized from the best people of the land, soon taught them that life and property must be respected. Sometimes these wagon trains would meet friendly Indians and trade with them. Rivers that were too deep and dangerous to be crossed by the emigrants sometimes had ferry boats piloted by Indians who would take the wagon across for pay. These wagon trains did not stop in order that the drivers might rest, but men and women would take their turn at driving while others slept in the covered wagon that seemed to rumble eternally on. Of course it was often necessary to stop so that the horses and oxen might be refreshed. These stops were usually made in the nightg and while the horses and oxen were resting, crude overnight camps were made, where the luxury of a bed was not known. Thus by patience, energy, and determination, a small percentage of the people who started out finally reached California, their promised land of gold. Although many of the people died, there were about a hundred thousand who reached this state, within two years, in search of their fortunes. 28 THE ACADEMY BELL But after all the hardships suffered and endured by these faithful pioneers, did they find a land of wealth and sunshine at the end of their journey? A few gained the rule they so eagerly sought, but the majority barely made a living tilling the soil, for the labor of getting this gold was worth three times as much as the gold itself. Was the sacrifice of our ancestors then in vain? No, for in the end it gave us a firm possession of the Pacific Coast, for this wilderness of California was settled by brave and energetic men and women. By increasing the amount of gold in circulation it brought trade and industry not only in California but throughout the United States. After the gold began to give out the men found the real gold of California: its vast farms of sheep and cattle, its vast vineyards, and its orange plantations of which California is proud today. So through the desire of the people from the East and Middle West to explore and build up this unknown land, through their desire for gold, and by their hardships, suffer- ings, patience, energy, and endurance, California has grown to be a state of the Union of which the people of the United States today speak with so much pride. HELEN EASTMAN, '28. GETTING EVEN WITH SISTER I Without correctzfonsj My sister she's 'awful fussy when it comes Saturday because her boe comes to see her. The other night I wanted to go skating so I told her I was going. She told me to stay at home and go to bed early so I Wouldn't spy on her and her boe. So I got good and mad and I went. She had been curling her hair and getting all slicked up for him. I went skating and got back before he come so I hid under the couch and pretty soon my sister KL and her boe came in and sat on the couch and began to talk. They turned the light low and I wondered why they done this because she had slicked up so. I thought she wanted everybody to see her. They laughed over every little thing and once my sister said something funny which made me laugh. I laughed right out loud. They heard me and asked each other what that noise was so of course they looked under the couch and he pulled me out and asked me what I was doing. I said I was asleep under the couch and somebody made a noise and woke me up. But I got even with her and I am glad I did. WILFORD NICKERSON, '31. THE ACADEMY BELL 29 PA'S TRI IUBLE Pa Adams was an Atwood's Bitters' fiend. Every night at seven o'clock, Pa would be seen to go to the cupboard, take down his bottle of Atwood's Bitters and drink out of the bottle. For over thirty vears Pa had done this same thing. Whether he thought the medicine did him any good or not is doubtful. Nevertheless he still stuck to his bottle of At- wood's Bitters. Once in the spring when Ma was cleaning house, she bought a bottle of furniture polish, and as Pa was out of Atwcod's Bitters she bought his medicine too. She placed these two bottles side by side in the cupboard. That night when Pa went after his Atwood's Bitters he reached into the cupboard and without looking at the bottle he took out the stopper and began to drink. He took a couple of swallows, and then began to cough and spit. What in tarnation did you do to these Atwood's Bitters, Ma ? yelled Pa. Why nothing, replied Ma. What is the matter? Matter enough, can't you see? said Pa, still coughing. These Bitters are killing me. Which bottle did you get them out of? she asked. The Atwood's Bitters bottle, what do you s'pose! Ma never said a word but she had her doubts. From that day to this Pa never took any more Atwood's Hitters. PHYLLIS MARSTON, '28, AN UNSEEN SPEC'I'A'l'0R Nearly everybody called her sister. She was really a very pretty girl, with blue eyes and golden curly hair. One night she was in her bedroom in front of her dress- ing table making herself as beautiful as possible. I was there in a corner, but she did not notice me. She combed her hair and smoothed it all down, then she went to the closet and picked out a great many pretty dresses and said to herself, I wonder which color he likes best. I think the 30 THE ACADEMY BELL blue one is the most becoming, so I guess I will wear it. It really is pretty if it is my own dress. So she donned the blue dress which made her look sweeter than ever. Then she put just a touch of rouge on her checks, a little eye- brow pencil on her eyebrows, and a bit of lipstick on her lips. She then manicured her fingernails and after a few more littls pats on her hair she went downstairs to the living room. I knew she was going down there, and I went down a short way and beat her. I was not surprised to see a young good-looking man waiting there. He did not see me. I attended to that. I sat down in a corner and had just got nicely settled when sister entered. The young man arose and I heard him murmur, Oh, how sweet you look tonight, Muriel. Muriel smiled sweetly and they seated themselves on the davenport. Soon, I saw Harold's arm steal behind Muriel and I heard him talking to her in a very low tone. I could not understand what he said, but I think that it must have been something nice, for sister blushed shyly, and I heard her say one word, Yes, Then Harold seemed very happy and they sat there and talked in low tones for what seemed ages to me, and I guess that I must have fallen asleep, for when I next heard anything the clock was striking two, and Harold was just bidding sister goodnight, or rather, I should say, good morning. They both seemed very happy and I heard them saying something about asking father tomor- row. I don't know what they were going to ask, do you? Now, I suppose you think that I am sister's brother, and that I have been telling tales on sister, but to tell the truth I am only a wee little mouse. LILLIAN SMITH, '28. JACK MAR'l'IN'S IDEA It was back in the country among the hills and valleys that a poor boy by the name of Jack lived with his parents. The day before Christmas, Jack came into the kitchen where his mother was preparing supper. Mother, he whispered, I've a feeling that God doesn't want me here on this earth. THE ACADEMY BELL 31 His mother looked up astonished and said, My son, what on earth are you thinking of ? He went on half whispering, half murmuring, I don't get toys and all kinds of things at Christmas. I don't have any pleasures, just hard work all the time, while city boys have everything. His mother took him by the hand and led him to the cliff, beneath which the river silently flowed. There his mother sat down. Then she began, Jack, you said that the city boys have everything. I want to name some of the things you have which the city boy never even knows about. Then I hope you will change your ideas. There is the valley, the trees, the lake, and the moun- tains. Now you must tell me whether you had rather be a country or a city boy. When he chose the country boy, it seemed that never before had the river Iiowed so silently. Just then the sun sank and it seemed at that instant to light up the whole world. ARLENE BLAKE, '31, AN EX PERIENCE The ice was out of the pond in the town where we lived, and so my pal and I decided to go Smelting the following Saturday night. We got our equipment together and were ready to start when along came Pud Hawkins, who was the fattest man in two townships. He asked if we were going smelting and as we said Yes, he said that he would like to go along. We didn't really want him, but we were polite and invited him. It was nine o'clock when we got to the brook, after having had to cross a mile of swamp filled with alders. It was hard work to get nets through the bushes, but we let Putin go ahead to make a way for us. We arrived there and were having good luck. Pud and my pal were dipping and I was taking the fish from the nets to put in the pails. The bridge that we were standing 32 THE ACADEMY BELL on was narrow and hard to work from. Suddenly We heard a great splash and looked to see Pud who was milling around and hooting at the top of his lungs. He looked like a hippopotamus taking his Sunday bath. After a few mo- ments had passed, while I was endeavoring to reach him with the pole, we noticed that our feet were soaked. Glanc- ing down we discovered that the water was up to our waists, caused by the displacement of Pud's body. We were in a bad fix now. We couldn't get him out of the Water, therefore we left him and both of us climbed a tree. We stayed there almost an hour while Pud yelled for us to help him. At the end of that time We heard a motorboat coming up-stream. We tied a rope to Pud and with the motorboat pulled him to a tree where he could stand on the bridge. The water immediately subsided and we went to catching smelts again. I think that was the last time Pud Hawkins ever went smelting. KENNETH SMALL, '28. STATION G-L-O-0-M SPEAKING I am going to tell the little boys and girls a bed-time story. Good evening, children. Once upon a time there was a little girl named Red- Riding Hood. One day she was going to see her grand, old, bent, crippled, and haggard mother-in-law. On her way she met 40,000 hungry, angry, blood- thirsty wolves, and they showed her their red fangs and their long, sharp, cruel looking teeth. Red-Riding Hood said, 'What do you use such ghastly, ugly looking teeth for, friend Wolves ?' The wolves said, 'To eat you with, my dear! And they immediately tore her from limb to limb, crushing her bones to powder, and then left her remains in a pool of clear red-hot blood. And she did not live happy ever after. Good night, children, and pleasant dreams. Station G-L-O-0-M signing off. KENNETH BONNEY, '29, THE ACADEMY BELL 33 HAIL!

Everybody has heard of him. Not only as a famed dog-racer, but as a hero in delivering the anti-toxin to Nome. Seppala spoke in assem- bly last year before the student body. He gave us a very interesting talk about his life and lives of his dogs. Mrs, Esther Birdsell Darling has Written a poem about Seppala. Mr. LaCasce wrote to her and asked her for a copy of this because of our interest in Seppala. She replied with the following letter and a copy of the poem. This letter might be of interest in connection with the poem. - 2610 Hillegass Avenue, Berkeley, California, October 2, 1927. Mr. Elroy 0. LaCasce, Fryeburg Academy, Fryeburg, Maine, My dear Mr. LaCasce: Your letter to me in regard to a poem I wrote about Leonard Seppala, long ago, was forwarded to me here from 311- 'l'IllC ACADEMY BELL p Nome, where I have not lived for several years. I have been away most of the summer, or I should have answered at once. Your letter went in by dog-team mail, but could not be sent out to me until the first boat of the open season, which accounts for much of the delay. I am enclosing the poem, and trust it will not be too late to be of some interest, even if too late to go into the school paper of which you spoke. As an Alaskan, and a friend, I am very proud of Leon- ard Seppala's record on the trail, and as a man. He is of the type of N ortherners that represent the North in its best and most constructive phase: and his skill and indomitable cour- age have made a place for him in the annals of Nome that will endure so long as Nome exists. With all good wishes, I am Very sincerely yours, ESTHER BIRDSELL DARLING. SEPPALA DRIVES T0 WIN! There's a Race on the Trail into Candle With a Nome Sweepstakes Team in the gameg Hear the rhythm and beat of the pattering feet Of the dogs that have earned far-flung fame! But this contest is not for a record, Neither cup nor a purse is the goal, For Seppala, intent, on the mission is bent Of racing with Death for a Soul. Some victories may fade and grow dimmer, And laurels no longer be green, But his undying race is the heart-breaking pace Neck and neck with an Entry unseen. For, at Dime, there was crushed, in a moment, Bobby Brown, well belov'd far and wide, Whose life, ebbing fast, strikes the Driver aghast, As he starts on his harrowing ride. There's the broken and pain-tortured body Lying heavy on Stevenson's lapg And the unuttered cheers are his friends's bitter tears -As they fasten each buckle and strap. Then, with the swift-spoken word to the Leader, While as swiftly he answers the same, There's a Race to be run and a Stake to be won- Come, Togo, live up to your name! THE ACADEMY BELL After weary miles stretching' to Candle, There is skill and a hope for the bestg Give all of your speed, taking never a heed Of hunger and thirst or of rest. They are dashing' o'cr limitless tundra, Over depths where the ice-menace liesg And the glare of the sun, on that nerve-racking run, Is a fiame to their half blinded eyes. There's the sting and the rage of the blizzard As the Arctic unleashes its galeg There's the night falling' gray at the end of the day, And there's Death riding hard on their Trail. Man's pluck and the strength of a dog team- On, Togo, we trust to your pace! Tliere's the flash of a light-it is Candle in sight- And Seppala beats Death in the Race! E4S'I'lll-IR Bllmsicli.

Everybody was wondering what Fryeburg Academy's pros- pects were this year for a good team. A rumor went around that Coach', had said that the prospects were good. It was verified bv Captain Edward Buzzell, a seasoned gridiron warriorg then the anxiety ceased to exist. In the afternoon about thirty boys, of our nine were lettermen from last year's team, reported for practice: Captain Buzzell, Little- field, Blake, Perkins, Webster, L. Ballard, T. Anketell, H. Ballard and Emerson. The boys came on the field in uniform, and fell to work with a will. In three weeks the team was in good condition, except for a few bruises and black eyes here and there. The Iirst game of the season was played at Fryeburg with Norway High School on Saturday, October 1, 1927. Fryeburg won 19-0. Lack of condition and the hot weather were telling factors against Norway.

On November 2 the last game on the schedule with Vermont Academy at Saxons River was washed off from Fuyeburg Academy's slate by the Vermont floods. Thus the football season ended. The tag-football season started in full swing. Thurs- day afternoon, November 20, Ed Buzzell led his Romans against Emerson's Greeks and the contest resulted in a 0 to 0 tie. The next day Perkins and his Carthaginians played Emerson's Greeks to a 6 to 6 tie. On Monday, November 23, Perkins' Carthaginians tied Buzzell and his Romans in a 12 to 12 tie. A new series was played in which Buzzell and his Romans beat Emerson's Greeks, 18-12. Per- kins' Carthaginians beat Buzzell's Romans, 12-6. But be- fore Perkins could play Emerson in the last game of the series a snowstorm came and covered the field. As the snow didn't go off, the Carthaginians claimed the championship. Later the Carthaginians won against the Greeks and Romans in volley ball. X 1 V THE ACADEMY BELL 43 BA SKETBALI. F. A. lost her entire first team last year except Captain Ted Anketell. Around last year's strong 2nd team, how- ever, Coach built a very creditable five. Harold Norton of Brownfield and Russell McLaughlin of Hiram are star basketball men and strengthened F. A. considerably. A basketball league has been formed, consisting of Rr-idgton Academy, Gorham Normal School, Parsonsfield Seminary. and Fryeburg Academy. Several other schools approved of the league but were unable to attend because of contracts already signed. A trophy was to be put up for the contending schools. On December 23, F.

Friday, January 20, Fryeburg Academy defeated Bridgton Academy, 26-25, at Harrison. On the way over one of the cars balked up and wouldn't go, so the first team shifted into manager Perkins' car and went along. Har- rison was reached at last and the game immediately started. Perkins kept score. At the end of the first half the score was 21-6 in Bridgton's favor. In the third quarter Bridg- ton did not score, but Fryeburg Academy was creeping up from behind and nearly evened the board. In the last quar- ter Bridgton got two baskets and Fryeburg Academy just barely overlapped this lead by a spectacular shot by McLaughlin when the whistle blew to end the game. As the boys were leisurely returning home they met Coach just outside of Bridgton village, still coming. The line-up as follows: FRYEBURG BRIDGTON ACAD.

THE ACADEMY BELL 47 BASEBALL The baseball prospect this year appears to be very good. Six veterans from last year are back, namely, Cap- tain Pete Ballard, Dudi, Perkins, Ted Anketell, Skinny Emerson, Hugh Blake and Bob Littlefield. The loss of Norm Blake as a pitcher will be keenly felt, for we have only one experienced pitcher, Emerson 3 but Norton, Perkins and Steves will work into pitchers before the season is over. There is keen competition on third base between Ross Burton and Eddie Meyers. They both look pretty good. McLaughlin has second base pretty well tied down. Shortstop is occupied by Pete Ballard. There is quite a scramble for catcher's berth with Thompson and Kiesman, against Littlefield, our veteran catcher. First base will be held bv Perkins most of the time. The Iielders are working' hard for berths. Hugh Blake is the only likely one to hold center field. The other two fields are still open, but as to who will take them it is hard telling, for there is so much promising looking material that there probably will be a lot of shifting of positions before the end of the season. The schedule for 1928 is as follows: Apr. 18. Bridgton Academy at North Bridgton Apr. 21 Berwick Academy at Frycburgr Apr. 25 Hebron Reserves at Hebron May 2 iiGould Academy at Bethel May 5 Parsonsiield Seminary at Parsonsficld May 9 Hebron Reserves at Fryeburg May 12 Bowdoin Seconds at Fryeburg May 15 Porter High School at Fryeburg May 17 Bridegton Academy at Fryebure: May 19 Bridgton High School at Fryeburg May 23 Pai-sonsfield Seminary at Fryeburg May 26 Berwick Academy at South Berwick May 29 Briderton High School at Bridgrton June 2 Gorham Normal School at Fryeburgr June 6.

The relays came Saturday afternoon and Fryeburg was up against Skowhegan and Lewiston. Frye- burg Academy drew the pole. Ranny Andrews ran first man 5 he held his own and gave the baton to Solari, who was pushed out of the track by a Skowhegan man. Solari lost his pace by that incident, but he kept close behind his com- petitors and handed Emerson the baton, who just barely kept up with the fast pace. The next went to L. Ballard, who was no more successful and came in ten yards behind the leader. Guptill was entered in the 100-yard run and he did well considering his experience and his competition. In the outdoor track this spring Coach is as busy as ever, training his runners, jumpers, weight throwers, etc. The track meets this year are scheduled as follows: New Hampshire State meet at Durham Norway at Norway tDualJ Oxford County meet at lundecided as to place? Bates Interscholastic meet at Lewiston fAll these meets are as yet undecided as to the dates and they will ln- promptly posted when receivedj 1 1 aiu x . I' ,Ks - ka. S1 50 'I' Il IC A C A DE M Y Bla' L I, GIRLS' FIELD HOCKEY ESTHER PIKE, Captain ELEANOR LANE, Managm- This year we girls had our first field hockey team. Two games were played, both with Berwick Academy. The tirst game was played on our home ground where We won 5-0. The football squad attended the game in a body and gave us loyal suport. About two weeks later the team journeyed to Berwick in Mister's truck with Mr. Anketell as pilot, for the second game. This game was on a Saturday and as the last part of the week had been very rainy the road was under water part of the way. However, it was not impassible and in due time, we arrived, played, and lost 2-0. After the game we motored to Dover and later to Dur- ham. New Hampsbire, where we were shown about the dor- mitories of the State University. Later, after seeing a movie, we started home. Then began a series of misfortunes: the gas from the exhaust made many of the girls very sick, we took a wrong turn and found ourselves about twenty miles off the route, we ran out of gas and had to walk about two miles to get somcg those of us who went for gas were actually followed by a Wildcat, those who stayed in the truck were questioned by motor cops who were looking for rum runners. We ran out of gas again before reaching home but were in a vil- lage, then just as dawn was greying the east we arrived in Fryeburg at half past four Sunday morning. Nevertheless, all the girls had a good time and would not have missed the trip for anything. We hope that next year our team will be strong, more successful and that more games will be played. The line-up of the team was as follows: E. Pike, cfg M. Gilman, lig C. Gannon, lwg T. Rowe, rig C. Wentworth, rw, O. Stanton, ch, M. Pratt. rhg F. Heard, lh: E. Lane, rf, E. Hill, leg P. Adams, Substitutes: A. Pendexter, D. Potter. GIRLS, VOLLEY BALL ESTHER CHARLES, Captain. RUTH PRATT, Manager Volley ball was a new sport in school this year. Not 'I' II IC .4 C A DEM Y If IC I. I, 51 many games were played this season. However, one trip deserves mention even though it may serve as free adver- tising for Henry Ford. When the team went to Westbrook two big cars and one Ford were to take them. Upon start- ing for home the Ford, driven by Mr. Anketell, scurried all over Westbrook after gas and then reached Fryeburg some time before the other cars arrived. We hope for a much longer schedule in volley ball next year. Team: R. Eastman, H. Eastman, M. Moulton, L. McIn- tire, E. Charles. Substitutes: E. Hill, M. Head, L. Smith, A. Blake, L. Haley, P. Adams. GIRLS' BASKE'l'l5AL!. ESTIIER PIKE, Captain EI.EANoR LANE, Manager 1 This year only two members from the team of the pre- vlous year were with us. The first of the season was not as successful as we hoped for, but showed improvement in the latter part. Line-up as follows: C. Gannon, lg SUBSTITUTES O. Stanton, rg R. Mills G. Clemens, c C. VVOntworth O. Kimball, sc P. Adams E. Pike, rf L. Smith M. Moulton, lf E. Lane We played first with the Alumnae. It was a very good game and ended with the Academy in the lead, 40-22. Next, Waynflete came to Fryeburg and our second game was played in our own gymnasium, where after a hard fought game we were defeated, 24-18. For our third game we journeyed by train to West- brook. We had a fine trip, although the day of our return was very cold. We lost the game, 35-23. A short time later we travelled by automobile to Port- land. The roads were terribly slippery, but we arrived after a time safe and sound. The game was played in the Portland Y. W. C. A. with Waynflete, where they defeated us for the second time, 41-18. While there the Waynflete girls invited the team out to Purpoodock Country Club, where we had a delicious steak dinner and enjoyed dancing for a pleasant half hour. 52 'I' Il If A C .4 IJ E M Y If If I, I. So far the team had won no games, so we set out, one Saturday, for Bridgton High School with the hope of play- ing a winning game. Much to our surprise about half way to Bridgton we met the Bridgton High team, which was coming to Fryeburg. After a discussion as to where the game should be, our team returned and the Bridgton High team played in our own gymnasium. We won, after a fast game, 22-15. In our gym we next met Brownfield High School and after a very close game, we won 23-22. A little later the team played Brownfield at Brownfield. They did not expect much of a cheering section, but at the eleventh hour Brackett arrived with a truck jammed full of students and what a cheering section they made! However, we lost the game, 40-30. A few days later we again started for Bridgton High and this time were not turned back. We arrived and played, but lost to them, 16-10. After each of the home games refreshments were served at the Alumni Hall for both teams. We expect: to lose only two members oil' the team this year, so we hope for a stronger, more experienced six next year. GYMNASIUM CLASSES The gymnasium classes have made a great deal of prog- ress this year under the direction of their teacher, Mrs. Howard. Gymnasium classes are attended twice a week, Mondays and Thursdays. Some of the girls are now able to climb to the top of the twenty-two foot ropes, some have mastered the Flying Angel on the rings, and others can do special feats on the ladder. Most of the second and third year girls, who swing Indian Clubs, are able to do the Windmill The Gymnasium Exhibition was held March 22. All students getting over ninety percent in all five events are to be awarded letters. The five events were: 1. Tactie Marching, 2. Folk Dances, 3. Indian Clubs, 4. Apparatus, 5. Games. A choice could be had of any three dances and also any exercises on the rings, ladder, and ropes. The let- ter girls were: Ruth Mills, Audrey Pendexter, Lillian Smith and Leura Haley. .i++4+?+++++L 'l'll IC A C A I! lC M Y If I5 I, I, J v v -V - , , . w x, 0113155 gllilntin nf 'ZS Kenneth SMal1 Olive Stantlln Lillian SmiTh Es'l'her Charles LeOn Ballard RoberT Littlefield Eleanllr Lane Edward Buzzell PaulinE Adams Helen EAstman LoriN Hurd DuDley Perkins Doryce INgalls Edna Ntlwlin Elizabe'l'h Hill Margare'l' Pratt Phyllis Marstlln ESther Pike Edward Meyers Hublirt Blake Ruth Mills .Al Q l .

The Winners were as follows: Tallest: IJOVQICE5 Ingalls came in first because Lorin Hurd had to stop and take a nap. Biggest Sleepy Head: Lovin Hurd led with a total of 500 naps and a few snores which disturbed the school. Class Grind: Hclvn Eastman came in with her shorthand under her arm, just the width of a hair ahead of Eliza- beth Hill. Orators: The oration honors were won by Bnzzell and Stanton. They just succeeded in nosing out Littlefield with their blank speeches. Most Eflicient: First place in the efficiency race went to Olive Stanton, who jumped a notch higher than her nearest opponent. Class Vamp: Elizalmctli worked hard to gain her honors. Class Sheik: There was a triple tie at first, but in the second heat Andrews came out far ahead of Meyers and Bnzzell. Best Dressed: Dnd Perkins came on the field in his new dress suit, while Eleanor Lane had on a very stunning evening' gown. Best Athletes: Pete Ballard won this honor by playing in all sports and climbing the ladder to the highest round. Esther Pike came in first for girls, accompanying Pete on the ladder. Wittiest: Pete Ballard was awarded a radio to broadcast some of his wise remarks. 70' THE ACADEMY BELL Time Killers: This race ran true when Johnny H urd came first with Lillian Smith second. Man Hater: Marston occupied the limelight by hating the hardest and longest among the women. Shortest: Elizabeth Hill had no trouble winning this race because her legs were short and the breeze didn't hold her back. Class Baby: Elizabeth Hill starred in the children's events since she lacked the years necessary for competition in all the Senior events. Best Disposition: Eleanm' Lane smiled sweetly as she came in ahead. Best Dancers: Pllcfzy and M layers dragged in four feet ahead of their rivals. Alumni House Pest: Every one near the field would know who the winner was, but for the benefit of those who did not have their field glasses I will simply mention the champion: Ed Meyers. Biggest Line: Meyers with very little difficulty lined his way to the front. Noisiest: Buzzell clattered ahead of his flock. Best Looking: This event brought forth much excitement. When. thevjudges had finally thinned them down, we saw Eleanor Lime and Dudley standing in the limelight. Most Popular: Esther Pike was congratulated by the crowd for being chosen by a large majority. Woman Hater: There was a close tie in this event but as Small was the most strong headed man he won the laurels. Sometimes, however, his smile belies his scowl. How about it, girls?

Miss Anna Barrows, a graduate of Fryeburg Academy, very kindly presented us with the following information: Mrs. Mary Seavy Merrick, F. A. 1886, has just been elected one of the three members of the school committee for the town of Wilbraham, Mass. After leaving this Academy, Mary Seavy took her Ph.B. at Boston University, and taught in the Girls' Latin School, Boston, for several years. Then she became Mrs. Charles Merrick, her husband being a graduate of Amherst, and later a teacher. His mother, by the way, was a student at Fryeburg Academy. The Merricks live on a farm which has been in the family since 1741, and their six children had a fine start in life. A local paper, telling of Mrs. Merrick's fit- ness for her new office, gives this account of her children. Mrs, Merrick has, from the little town of Wilbraham and on very limited income, achieved this: Ruth-Northiield Seminary, A.B., Mt. Holyoke. Harold-Amherst, A.B., Harvard Law School, LL.B. Now in the office of Charles Hughs, New York City, and recently selected as an investigator in the 'ambulance chaser' inquiry. THE ACADEMY BELL 79 Stuart-Colgate, A.B., Yale, A.M. Charles-Amherst, A.B. Richard-Amherst, A.B. Theodore-Junior at Amherst. How did she keep the entire family at it when so many young folk who now start on 'higher' education turn aside and elect classy clothes instead of classic classes? Mrs. Merrick says it was done by keeping just a bit ahead of each so they had to hustle to keep up with Ma. To such a woman running one-third the schools in a town is nothing at all. And now that the children are largely of? her hands, Mrs. Merrick promises to go far before she makes any pause. 80 THE ACADEMY BELL .7'?++f+++7?++7Qu 7 xnhangwa The ACADEMY BELL is glad to have so many exchanges.
