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

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.
