THE ACADEMY BELL' 5 EXPERIENCE COUNTS A three-place biplane was given John Palmer for his birthday. He had for an instructor, Henry Shultz, a vet- eran pilot of the war. Soon afterward the instruction began. When John had been flying for a week, he decided to take off on his first solo without the consent of his in- structor. One night at dusk when all had left the flying field, John thought it a good time for his solo. When the motor had been warmed up and everything was in readiness, he took 05. Up and up he went, on and on into the darkness until he had attained a 5,000 foot altitude. There he was flying, blind, having no idea in which direction he was flying. Without a moment's notice the engine kicked a few times and went dead-out of gas. There was an inexperienced pilot diving toward the earth, turning over these words in his mind, Experience Counts? WILLIAM FORCE, '32. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FRYEBURG LIBRARY The library which was added at the .beginning of the school year has proved a great success. It is not a new idea because at one time there was a Webster Memorial Library. As many of the books as possible from the Webster Library have been collected together. The present collection consists of about twelve hundred books. Some of these were scattered in various classrooms, but are now assembled in the new library. A committee under the direction of Mrs. Lougee solicited a great many books besides the money to buy reference material. From time to time throughout the year, books have been given from the private shelves of various friends of the Academy. The library has been able to secure during the year a great many reference books on United States History, European History, and Ancient History. There are some shelves set aside for Latin and French reference books. There is also a good collection of fbiographies, poetry, and fiction. Many works of standard authors are available. There are complete sets of Stevenson and Shakespeare. If the good work progresses proportionately in years to come, Fryeburg Academy will have one of the best school libraries in the vicinity. Before I close I wish to express my sincere thanks to Mrs. Lougee and the committee in her charge, Clarence Mulford, Mr. Hastings, Miss Mary Barrows, and many others who have helped to make the library a success. F. FosTER CROWELL, Librarian.

I hope others will enjoy reading a copy of this as much as I have enjoyed Working EDITOR-IN-CHIEF. THE VALUE OF A YEAR BOOK There has long been the custom of having in each high school or academy, a year book, published by the student body. Is this not a fitting wind-up for the school year? When the book is published, it contains articles which show the parents and the pupils themselves the ability of the individual student. The editing of the paper gives the editorial .board an experience in handling business matters in an orderly manner. Through exchanges with other schools, the name of Fryeburg is more widely spread, and the social and athletic activities recognized. The Alumni and undergraduates know the progress of the school through the year book. The separate depart- ments give in summary form the work accomplished during the different semesters. The paper holds the interest of the student of today as well as proves valuable in years to come. What student does not, at some time or other, wish to glance back over his school life? It means extra time and money put in by a few, but, after all, is it not worth it? THE EDITORS. for its success.
