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.
