2S THE ACADEMY HERALD Hampshire, and of Middlebury College, Middlebury, Vermont. he is now teach- ing English and History, and assists in the coaching of football and track. Our dormitories are wonderful now! VVe had thought the Marian True Gehr- ing Students' Home something to be proud of before. but now-I think all of us have swelled at least two inches since last year! The new maple furni- ture for our redecorated rooms, and furniture for our beautiful reception room certainly kills two birds with one stone-appearance and comfort! I hap- pened to pass by the serving room this morning, and what an improvement! Such convenient IIBWV shelves, and elec- tric washing machine, it sure does beat all ! l couldn't say a word about the new Holden Hall, it has to be seen to be ap- preciated! I only hope the pool table doesn't wear out to soon under it's constant use! Another addition to our campus are the newly planted trees. VVon't it be fun to walk about under these grand old friends when we return for our eighti- eth reunion! September 26, 1939: This afternoon the Esso Marketers showed us two moving pictures. The first, News in the Air, showed how news is gathered. edited, and distribu- ted for newspapers and radio. How true is the saying 'tnews travels fast ! The second picture was of a schooner trip around Cape Horn, with wind and giant waves. My kingdom for a yacht. October 6, 1939: To-night we had a rally in prepara- tion for our football game tomorrow, the first of the season. The captain of our football team, the coaches, and our weather prophet, Mr. Fossett, spoke to us, in addition we practiced cheering. As we left, we took care to see that the roof was still securely fastened on the gymnasium ! , October 7, 1939: Our fourth annual Parents' Day was a great success: the weather was per- fect and the attendance more than ever before. The football game with Bridg- ton Junior Varsity was fine, in spite of the fact that we were defeated. A dance in the gymnasium for we young folk, to the music of the Gould Acade- my Swing Band, followed the game. A tea in Holden Hall. poured by Mrs. El- lery C. Park and Mrs. Philip S. Sayles, was also well attended. October 19, 1939: The much anticipated, Freshman Re- ception is now a thing of the past. Af- ter the usual flurry of dressing and ar- riving on time at the gymnasium, WGS were conducted through a receiving line consisting of Principal and Mrs. P. S. Saylesg Principal Emeritus, Dr. Frank E. Hanscom and Mrs. Frank E. Hanscom, Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Park, Senior Master, Carroll Bailey, and Mrs. C. P. Baileyg Dean of Girls. Margery F. Bailey, and the president and the sec- retary of the Senior Class. Irving Brown and Virginia Davis. Then came dancing until eleven o'clock. with mus- ic by Lordls Orchestra, and now comes bed! October 26, 1939: It 's so good to be home again tonight, with four days here ahead of me. I hope the teachers at their convention in Lewiston are having as good a time as I am! November 29, 1939 : This mornng in chapel service some of the students and the school choir en- tertained us with a Thanksgiving pro-
