'While we Iniss several who were with us last year the steady increase of students in the entering class has more than filled out tlIe numbers. At- tendance has been more regular this year owing to the requirements of the new courses of study. We feel that t1Iis has been one of the most successful years in the history of our Academy. ' courses have been year than ever before. The laboratory more popular this For the first tiIIIe in tlIe history of the school a half year course has bCe1l given in Physical Geography. About forty students are taking this work. ++ TlIe design for the Literary depart- meI1t this year was made by lithel Merrill, a Inember of the class of 1911. The excellent drawings made by lIer during lIer course at L. N. A. have shown that she lIas ability in this line of work. ++ The students and teachers at the Dormitory have thoroughly enjoyed the way in which the building has been managed this year. Numerous improve- ments have lllafle the rooIIIs more home- like and attractive. The reception room has been newly papered and painted. Friends of the school have given sofa pillows, rugs and pictures to help in furnishing it. A new piano has been secured and is being paid for by iIIstall- ments. The teachers lilld several of the students have lIad the privilege of select- ing paper for their rooms, thus feeling 5 6 THE CRESCENT that they have a claim on them for an- other year. ++ The halls and cloak-rooms at the Academy building were greatly improved during the summer vacation by a new coat of paper and paint. -+-+ The system of grading introduced into the Model School the past year by Miss Gilmore has proved a great benefit to both Model School and Academy. The scholars in the grades have received more systematic training and the Normal students of the Academy have become familiar with the regular grade work. Members of the junior and Sophomore classes begin their Normal training by doing room work and having an oppor- tunitv to observe. 4+ Through the influence and hard work of the friends of Lee Normal Academy our state appropriation l1as been in- creased from one thousand to fifteen hundred dollars per year for the years 1911 and 1912. We sincerely thank everyone who helped us and shall en- deavor to do better work than ever before. +-+- The annual reunion of the alumni, trustees and teachers of Lee Normal Academy was held at Lee, August 19, 1910. This reunion was a great suc Many who were present decided th was the best ever held in Lee. Alumni, by their interest in the sn and their presence at the reunions, done much toward making these ga ings enjoyable. The Alumni address by Hon. V1 Pattangall of Waterville was one c best ever given at Lee. +-+ Miss Mabel Burke, Miss Bessie C and Miss May Hanson, alumnae o Academy, have offered three priz the English department this year. are to be awarded at the close 0 spring term to those scholars ir freshman English class who shov greatest improvement in their W1 work. We are glad that the-Ahi are showing so much interest in the of the school. +-+ ' J, D. Murphy of Bangor, a f principal of L. N. A., has proved h a staunch friend of the school. We owe him a debt of thanks for his ur efforts in our behalf. +-+- I Mr. J. W. White of jackso Florida, has again kindly give' school two White Medals. These 1 are to be awarded at commencem members of the class of 1911. Tl THECRESCENT 7 medal will be presented to the senior having the highest rank in the final ex- aminationsg the second to the one having the next highest rank. ++ Through an appeal made by Rev. George S. Rolzinscn at the Alumni reL.r.ion last year one hundred and twenty dollars were secured for repairs en the Dew Drop. This sum has been used in painting and papering the rooms, painting the outside of the building and putting in new windows. Students, teachers and trustees ap- preciate the interest Mr. and Mrs. Albert Mallett have taken in making the Dew Drop an attractive home. ++ The courses of study laid down in the new catalogue are being carried out with good results. The students are realizing the wisdom of the change and are doing much better work. ++ The money raised by the birthday par- ty last year has been expended in making many improvements in the library. The walls have been newly papered and new linoleum has been placed on the floor. These changes add very much to the attractiveness of the room. The old furniture has been replaced by a fine mission table and chairs. Many ex- cellent reference books have been added to the library which are much used and appreciated by the students. We feel very grateful to the alumni and friends of the school who have helped to make these changes possible. , , The school has been unusually for- tunate in securing the services of Mrs. Jennie Presby as matron of the dormitory. She has won for herself a place in the affection of every student in the house and her faithful work is surely appreciat- ed by the teachers. -+-+ We wish to thank those who have helped us financially by advertising in the CRESCENT. Witliout them it would be impossible to publish our paper. We feel confident that those who advertise in the CRESCENT are worthy of our patronage.

Nature has never seemed more beautiful than today. Each budding plant and babbling brook, after the long winter, bids us Welcome. Even so, the class of 1911, after its four years of toil, bids you Welcome. We thank you for? the interest you have manifested in us,-not only by your presence here tonight, but by your kind- ness shown throughout our school course. Teachers: We wish you to under- stand our appreciation off all your helpg we feel that if We have -not made ini- provement under your instruction We have ourselves only to blame, for we are not unmindful of the fact that you have labored long and patiently. VVe ask you to accept our heartfelt thanks. To you, our parents, We feel that We owe a debt of gratitude. VVe realize the sacrifices niade on your part that We might acquire an education and we Wish to please you, not only today, but in the days that are to come. It is our wish to be of some help to the World. No nation is great without the Work of each succeeding generation and we feel that today the twentieth century calls for even greater Work, than the nineteenth. May the Welcome that 'consists not of mere Words, but the sincere welcome that comes from the heart, be yours, this evening. Believe me, the class of l9ll bids you a hearty Welcome. 4. 4, 4. 4. .g, The essential quality, necessary for success, during life, is purpose. Thomas THE CRESCENT 9 Carlyle has said, A man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudderf' If one's heart and soul is not in his work, it can never be made a thorough success, therefore, he needs Hrst to be thoughtful in the choosing of his life work, and strive for the best results. It matters not, what the occupation may be, from the highest to the lowest, the conditions remain the same. The province of the merchant is to clothe and feed the state, of the physician to keep the state in health, of the clergy- man to direct his fellowmen into the right paths of life. VVhat, then, is the province of the teacher? Since the main purpose of our school is to train teachers, this is a question which needs to be per- fectly understood by every student tak- ing the Normal course. There are two other courses offered, the English and College Preparatory, but the majority of the pupils are taking the course which fits for teaching, and for this reason, among others, the state has appropriated five hundred dollars more than in previous years and every effort is being made for good instruction along those lines. From our class of seven members, five plan to teach, and although we realize that we shall fall short in many respects yet we will ever strive to live up to the highest standards. The greatness of our country, of any country, depends principally upon three instittions, the family, the church and the school. The strongest element is the family. No nation is strong without pure, consecrated fathers and mothers. We have an example of this in the Spartan homes. It is a sad fact that one of the greatest troublesin American homesisthe frequency of divorce cases. One of the teachings of Pestalozzi was that maternal love is the Hrst agent in education. Through it the child is led to love and trust his God. Only rarely does the child become a noble character, where the home life is not pure. The church and school are closely related, one depending upon the-other. A great many of the larger schools of our country have been founded and are supported by christian organizations. In turn, the church to do its work in the twentieth century, requires the help of the school. lVhich has the greater in- fluence, teacher or preacher, saying or do- ing? The preacher is with the child much less than the teacher, therefore, it seems a natural consequence that the school should have more to do with the molding of the child's character, than the church. The preacher sets the standard for the teacher to follow and it is her duty to fulfill these ideas to the best of her ability. just so far as she fails to meet these requirements, just so far is she deficient in the qualities that make up a true teacher. The teacher's influence for good or bad upon the child, is great. Faith is 10 V THE CRESCENT the bond which unites teacher and pupil. Unless his faith is shaken in her, she ranks next to his parents in his estima- tion. But children are quick to dis- tinguish the false teacher from the true and for this reason she needs to be sincere in her woik. It is important that the teacher should be well trained, prepared for her work and with the ability to present the subject in an interesting manner, but the power of a high moral purpose is the strongest factorinherinstruction. If she has a high moral purpose she will consider it her duty to be earnest, patient and persevering. She will realize that the parents have entrusted the children to her care at an early age and that it is of great im- portance that they be started aright because the influences of our childhood days are those that have the most to do with the formation of our character through life. How great, then, is the work of the teacher! How great her mission! If the teacher fails to impart and practice the truth, who will? Upon her stand for truth in the community depends the future of the race. The mission of the teacher, in brief, is to manufacture manhood of the best quality, to lead the pupil into the occupa- tion that will make him of the greatest usefulness to himself, his parents, his nation and his God. MEARL12 E. MAXWELL, '11, HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1911 Historians have related many strange adventures, but stranger than all their tales is the history of the class of 1911. Qur class did not have any organization during our early academy days. To use the words of Topsy, we just grew. Five of our members: Ethel Merrill, Lena Merrill, Mearle Maxwell, Ernest Delano and 1 entered, Lee Normal in the spring of 1906. We were there greeted with that detestable, insignificant title, Freshmen. But we all agree now that it was well suited to the nature of each one of us. The next fall Edith Weather- bee and Herbert Laskey entered our class from the Model School. Paul Cofhn had attended the academy several terms before we entered, but hnding the previous classes not suited to his nature, he wisely decided to unite with the brilliant class of 1911. Others, 1 ani sorry to say, have taken adifferentview of our class, for example, Mr. Laskey, the poor dear. He left us in the spring of 1910 never to return. We miss him, particularly in the laboratory where he always made our work very enjoyable, although he broke up so much glassware that our laboratory fees were greatly increased. Mr. Laskey returned from the Boys' Convention at Augusta broken in health and somewhat the worse for wear and tear. The Dr. recommended a change of climate so he entered Coburn Qlassicalllnstitute last fall. THE CR ESCENT II Iiut poor hcalth is not tht- only thing that has lt-sst-uctl tht- uumht-rs ol' our class.

Among these determined people who first settled this wild land, were the fathers and grandfathers of some of the greatest authors and statesmen the world has ever known. Look at our long list of poets: Longfellow, Wllittier, Poe, Holmes, Lowell and Bryant, men who are read by all nations, men to whom the world turns for examples of beauty, ex- pressions of sympathy, and appreciation of nature. This country has also produced some of the greatest statesmen of the world. Every country has its heroes, our list is lVashington, Franklin, Patrick Henry, Webster, Clay, Lincoln, Garfield and Mc- Kinley, men who have come forward when the need was greatest and by whose courage and foresight our country has rapidly progressed. These men saw the possibilities of our nation and planned for its advancement. What nation of tl1e earth can show a better record than America in the up- building of secondary schools, colleges and universities? Our forefathers real- ized that no nation could progress when in ignorance, and so they laid the founda- tions for the great institutions of our land. Harvard University, founded about four hundred years after Cambridge or OX- ford, yet ranks with them as one of the foremost colleges of the world. At one time we thought our boys and girls must got to Europe to complete their education, but since conditions have changed and the countries of Europe are now sending a large number of students to the United States. Each year this country is receiving more and more stu- dens from the countries of the East. Our educational system is one of the best in the world. Even Germany who claims to be hrst in kindergarten work is sending men to this country to study our methods. VVhcn this government was first found- ed it was looked upon with contempt by European rulers. They said that it would last but a few years. Look at it today! It is one of the foremost nations of the' earth. Do the leading world powers now regard this nation with con- tempt? No! they hold it in reverence and look at it with respect. A hundred years ago, we were paying tribute to the Pirate States of Northern Africa that our trading ships might go in peace. VVhat country at the present time dares mention tribute! No country of the globe has surpassed America in the development of great industries. More miles of railroad ex- tend throughout the United States than through all the countries of Europe com- bined. The beautiful streams of New England which were scarcely used by our forefathers now turn thousands of n1ill wheels. New York City furnishes us a striking I4 THE CRESCENT example of how transportation is being developed in our large cities. There are three distinct modes: the elevated rail- way, the surface car and the subway. Not only is the ground space utilized to the best advantages but we now use un- derground passages and even the air. If America advances during the next century as she has in the past, what will be the result? She will be the wonder of modern civilization as Greece was of the ancient world. She will be the country to which all people will turn as a model of power, skill and achievement. PAUL W. COFFIN, '11. .,i+-+1.- ADDRESS TO UNDERGRADUATES It may seem strange to you, students and parents, that one so young and ten- der of years as the unoffending victim now before you, should be here to give advice to the undergraduates. But as I have had to put up with a good deal my- self from teachers, parents and sopho- mores, in the last four years, I think it ought to be my privilege to give a little advice to others before I receive my diploma. To begin with, preparatory students should not fall so deeply in love as some have during the last year.' Such affairs 'should not take place until the freshman year at least. Such' Scholars should not take model lessons either until they are farther advanced, for people might offend their dignity by mistaking them for fifth grade pupils. Freshmen you will be sophomores next year, but let me whisper to you :- Don't follow the footsteps of the present sophomore class and think that you are smarter than the seniors. You are apt to get left if you do. Freshmen ought to live in such a manner that they may be able to surmount all obstacles, even Mr. Verrill's Ancient History. Here is something that may be an in- spiration to the sophomores:-Live and learn, you may become seniors some day. To the present juniors-seniors of next year:-Turn over a new leaf, follow in our footsteps and you will find all the hard work and trouble you need. You are small now, to be sure, but cheer up, the senior year is a wonderful tonic. It may be possible, although we doubt it, for you to grow enough in body and in brains to graduate by the hrst of next June. There are a few special students whom I feel it my duty to advise. Please ex- cuse me for speaking to you publicly since it is for your good. Mr. Flanders, you ought to room at the Dew Drop next year. You will find that it will cost you less for board, and much less for footwear. Pearlie, don't be discouraged because you didn't receive any pay this year for breaking the roads between tl1e corner grocery and Sand Hill. I know that it would have been a great help to you, but THE CR ESCENT I5 come back and try it again next year. Perseverance will win in the end. Mr. Houghton, stay in school until you finish your course. Don't get married yet, you are young. VVait a few years. Then perhaps the income of your fox farm will be suliicient to support a wife. Undergraduates, there are matters, not comic, but real, concerning which I consider it both my duty and privilege to say a few words this evening. First of all, get yourself established in a regular course. Do not drop out for a term or a half term and loose your place in the class, because when you come back you will find that you cannot take up the same studies and join your former classmates. You will then feel out of place, and in all probability will be dis- couraged and leave school for good. In after years you will look back and regret that you did not make the 'most of your opportunities to obtain an education. Thorouglmess in the freshman year is the one essential thing, for on the work of this year chiclly depends the success or failure of your school course. If you are careless in your freshman year, you will have to work harder the other three years and then not get as much out of your school work as you would if you had been thorough at first. One of the strongsst incentivesito keep a student in school and to do his work well is to enter with a class in the fall and stay with that Llass for one year. He will then feel it his duty to himself, aswell as to others, to stay with that class until he graduates. It is customary in most high schools and academies to elect class officers at the beginning of the freshman year that they may be preparing to meet the expenses of their senior year. I should think this might be a good plan to adopt here because class meetings and class parties help to develop class spirit and this in turn developes good school spirit, which is so necessary to make a school progressive. Debating and public speaking are things which I think you as students ought to take an interest in. These things will be a great help not only to yourself but also to the school. They will give you self control and enable you to talk to an audience without having an attack ofwstage fright. The boys es- pecially ought to consider the help to be obtained in this way for they will have occasion to express their opinions in town meetings and various other public gatherings, and to be able to express them clearly will be a great help. ' Athletics have an important place in school life. Recreation is necessary to keep the body in good physical con- dition, and nothing will do this better than good clean athletics. Then again a good physical condition will strengthen the mind and enable you to do better school work. Another thing in which you ought to take more interest is church work. Take an active part yourself. Church work I6 THE CRESCEENT is for young people and you will receive more help in this way than you realize at present. I think it would he a great help for you boys to establish a branch of the Y. M. C. A. here. I am sure that all of us who have attended the Y. M. C. A. conference meetings can see the good that this organization is doing throughout the United States. We can also see that the success of our whele life depends more upon our moral charac- ter than upon any other thing. This is reason enough I should think to make you consider this subject carefully. The number of rules of our school is regulated by the character and conduct of the students. It is only the few in any school that cause rules to be made. If each one is more careful not to abuse privileges few rules will be made and many will not have to suffer for what a few have carelessly done. Students, the success of Lee Normal Academy for the next four years depends largely upon you and I am sure that each one of you will do what you can to further the interests of the school. We as a class rejoice that you will have a better chance than we have had. With the changes that have been made in the school courses, with the Alumni Associa- tion and friends of tl1e school to assist you and with the eictra five hundred dollars appropriated by the state this year, the outlook is bright for dear old Lee Normal Academy. ' ERNEST A. DELANO, 311. CLASS MOTTO KNOW THYSELF' In the heart of Ancient Greece, far distant from all centers of activity, was the quiet, secluded grove of Delphi, the common altar of the Greek race. Here from a chasm in the rocks con- tinuously arose a cold vapor that stupined the priestess who was enthroned above it, and who in her frenzy prophesied to those who sought to gain some knowledge in regard to the future. Suspended above her in letters of gold and contain- ing a meaning unparalleled to the Greeks was the significant motto, 'tKnow thy- Self. Although far removed from Rome, Persia, Cartilage and Magna Graecia, this great oracle, by providing worship and imparting knowledge to all, embraced in a religious union the whole Hellenic world. just as the Jew looked upon the sacred city of jerusalem, as the Mo- hammedan in his pitiful ignorance turned his face toward Mecca, and just as every true Roman citizen regarded Rome, the Greeks held in reverence the sacred oracle of Delphi. It was to them an all- seeing, all-knowing power, a place to which they might turn for guidance in time of great perplexity, and help in every trouble. The days of Greece are passed, l1er glory faded, nevertheless there is just as much need to obey the command of that yu, THE CR ESCENT I7 old-time motto. The 20th century is demanding men and women who under- stand their own possibilities, who are thorough in educatirin, strong in purpose and strong in action. Shall we, the class of 1911, heed this call to duty? Some- where in this great world there is a place for every one of us, and no one but our- selves can fill that place. Each one of us was put on earth for some definite purpose and we each must set ourselves directly at the task of discovering our place in life: then never relaxing, never relenting, with a brave determination we must do our best. Even if we never reach the goal that we desire, we may accomplish much by struggling per- sistently for it. Although we may have different works, although our aims are vastly different, we have within us every- thing that is needful to make our character. For surely the Creator who has given us this longing to do something and to be something will grant us the ability and the opportunity to realize the ambition. 'fThe soul contains in itself the event that shall befall it. The slave is held in bondage by the work of his own hand because he does not possess a knowledge of his own rights or know how to assert them. It is the man that posesses the power of knowing what is best, that is sovereign over his own mind and body who masters every difhculty. He rules the world. Knowing our own mindsmakes us more sympathetic and more considerate of the failures of others. We feel within our- selves a sincere desire to assist them, to improve their condition and to hold loving, helpful thoughts toward them. Knowing ourselves helps us to know God by showing us that we are made in His image. Every work of creation bears witness to the fact that some great mind must have been behind all, plan- ning, arranging and constructing. When we- understand the possibilities and capabilities of the human mind, we can- not help but admit that it is the master- piece of a greater intellect. Our physical, mental and spiritual natures bear un- disputable evidence to the wisdom and omnipotence of the Divine Creator. Through the reading of elevating books many lives have been brightened, and many souls have been awakened to noble aspirations. By making the noble characters of which we read our examples, we may derive unlimited good. Un- consciously we take them as ideals and they undoubtedly influence in a great measure our thoughts and actions. We would never progress if we had no other than ourselves to copy, but com- parison of our lives with those of the virtuous must awaken within us a desire to emulate their virtues. In childhood our characters are largely moulded for us by our parents, teachers and companions. In afterlife the only way to improve our mental nature lies in our own effort. Our teachers may 1 1 I I ig , I8 THE CRESCENT assist us over the rough places, but if we wish to be rewarded in mental strength we must exercise our own mental powers and think for ourselves. By a rigid self- examination, made conscientiously and prayerfully, we may discover our weak- nesses and conquer them. We may sometimes allow this thought to come to us, I'll hide my failings. The world will never know. But is it worth while to hide them? Why not erase them? Truly, it is not an easy thing to probe the hidden sin of which the world has no suspicion. However, if we appear what we are not, we are living cowardly lives, and are not only injuring ourselves but those about us. We all have influence, it may be great or small. Our words, deeds, and even our thoughts infiuence others. When we consider these things carefully, reason forces us to the admission that we owe it to ourselves, to our race and to our God to live a good, true life, to develop every talent we possess, and to reach the highest possible plane of living. And how shall we serenely accomplish the highest that lies in our power unless we know ourselves? Know thyself was the call of Greece to her sons and daughters. Know thyself is the call of the 20th century to each member of the class of 1911. May we obey. ETHEL A. IIIERRILL, '11. 1.....+.+.l4 CLASS PROPHECY The die was cast and I, poor un- offending victim, was declared prophetess of the class of 1911. But how was I to reveal the future? I couldnft find even a witch or a gypsy charmer, to help me in this delicate work. I became more and more discouraged. Easter Sunday still found me longing for something startling, adventurous and unique to happen. I realized that this was not the right con- dition of mind for Easter, atime when all should be happy and at peace, so I went forth into the woods to commune with Nature. I had gone some little distance, when I saw a rabbit bobbing out of sight. Going to the place from which he had jumped I discovered the most beautiful gold and silver Easter egg. As I stood looking at it the shell broke and a chicken appeared. He was very unlike most chickens when they first make their debut into the world. A green cocked hat was on one side of his head and under his wing a sword about the size of a darning needle. Suddenly he Hew to my shoulder andin a squeaky little voice said, 'tFol1ow me and you shall -know what the gods hold in store for the class of 1911? Here at least was my knight- errant and I followed him gladly, at first through tangled underbrush, but soon to scenes familiar. We reached the shore of Park Pond before I knew it. My guide, without a word, pulled from his tiny wing a green feather, dropped it THE CRESCENT I9 into the clear water and, said 'tWatch it carefully. The feather floated on the water for a moment, then suddenly changed to a green disk, from green to silver and from silver to-VVhat! was I dreaming? I saw the interior cf a large and beautiful hall filled with hundreds of people who were leaning eagerly forward listening to a large man of about thirty- five who was speaking very eloquently. I was wondering what connection this had with the class of 1911 when a woman called from the gallery 'fThat's right Coffin In It was Paul without a question. I was anxious to know his subject and was moving nearer, when he raised his voice a little and I caught the words, VVomen's Suffrage. In connection with this visionI have had cf your future, my friend, I want to present you with this bottle of mucilage, which I hope will enable you to stick to the idea of convincing the nation that your sister classmates must vote. Another feather was thrown into the wat I-r,this time a blue one, and as I was pr,pared for a change, I was not surprised ti see it become a disk of beautiful azure l.lue which gradually turned to silver. Now, what next? An art gallery, and standing before one of the many paint- ings an enthusiastic group of people. just then one of the ladies stepped to one side and I saw the painting clearly. It was a quiet country scene. A stream,a mill near by and a high hill in the back- ground. Below were written these words, My Home Town, Lee, and in one corner I read the artistfs name, L, Merrill. Lena, little did I think, when you were awarded first prize for drawing the best goose at the goose party last winter that you would become the famous artist I have just depicted. Allow me to give you this brush and with it my heartfelt good wishes in your future career as an artist. This time as the feather disappeared a large white building came into view, behind which stretched a beautiful gar- den. There in its midst was a tall, dignified lady with four children. I recognized her in a moment. It was Ethel, my old maid classmate. Every- thing about her seemed strange. Where could she be? Suddenly it came to me. Ethel had gone to the Philippines to teach and had married for convenience' sake. , In view of your future matrimonial prospects, my friend, I have chosen this little book for you entitled, How to Manage a Husband, by Amelia D. Herrick, The next feather, a silver one, showed me Ruth who had gone West in 1913, after refusing several offers of marriage. At first, she taught school in Washington, but still fcllowed by a King she cen- sented hnally to wear the crown and to- gether they were happily ruling a large sheep ranch in California. When'I saw Ruth in her VVestern costume, riding over the Ranch, seated on a vicious 'id 20 THECRESCENT looking broncho, it brought back vivid memories of the time when she and I rode the mule. Wishing to give you something useful Ruth, and something that will always bring pleasant thoughts to you, I can think of nothing better than this A'Rex mouse trap. I trust that the name will enable you to make many a fortunate catch. Next, as a golden hued feather sank into the water I beheld a lady dressed in deepest black. From her quick move- ments I soon recognized Mearle. She had married-A. Alan of course and to- gether they had accumulated a large fortune in one of the up river towns, by raising potatoes. Mearle was just now in mourning because of the death of her husband, but I thought that her troubles would soon cease when I noticed on the table beside her a slide trombone. Mearle, in order that you may weep the more easily over the death of your second husband I present yeu with this onion. I wondered if the next feather, a brilliant red one, would show me a glimpse of myself, but no, it could not be I, for I could plainly see a man seated at a desk correcting papers and whistling softly to himself. It was Ernest who had become a successful teacher. looked much as in former times only now a number of gray hairs were notice- able among his brown curls. Contrary to all expectations he had not gone to Utah after his graduation, but to the surprise of all his acquaintances, had be- come a woman hater and settled down to a quiet bachelor life. I had intended to present you with a box of heart tablets, Ernest, but on further consideration I have decided to give you this bottle of pickles. The last feather, black as night, I knew must be mine. Who knows of my excitement as I grasped it in my hands and eagerly leaned forward to see what would be revealed to me. Alas, for my bump of curiosity! So intent was I upon watching the feather sirk down, down, that I did not know that I too was going down, down, until witl1 a mighty splash I struck the water. I lost all thought of the feather in my wild scramble to get out and when at last I reached the shore my chicken had dis- appeared and I was alone. Vlfith a light heart I journeyed homeward, thinking that if my future was going to be nothing but a splash I did not wish to see it. EDITH WEATHERBEE, ll. i.+.+.i. VALEDICTORY NOTHING is LOST Are misfortune and difficulties to keep us from the bright sunshine of life? Do they not have a purpose? Trials are to some burdens indeed, while to others THE CRESCENT 21 they are tl1e highway to success. Afflic- tions are but blessings in disguise. The nrst lesson in the art of living, is to learn the value of misfortune. There are natures that would only wither and de- cay in an atmosphere of ease and comfort, which blossom and ripen amidst trials, It is the surmounting of difhculties that makes heroes. Trials are a part of our training and without them character would not be complete. The most precious things of life are acquired only through difficulties. If there were nothing to overcome, there would be nothing to achieve. Misfortune teaches us the common things of life, and develops contentment. to appreciate sympathy, patience and As we endure misfortune and surmount difficulties the thought should come to us, 'fNothing is Lost. In nature, this great truth is illustrated again and again. There all is useful, all is beautiful, nothing is destroyed. Things which seem to be lost are only trans- formed. Are the many kinds of seeds hidden in the soil lost? From them grow the plants which furnish us with food and clothing. In the autumn the beautiful flowers lose their bright colors and wither to the ground. No life is visible and they seem to be dead, but in the springtime they begin to bloom again, The leaves of the trees which turn from vivid green to crimson and brown, and then fall to the earth are not lost. These leaves give new life to the tree, they enrich the surrounding soil, and nourish countless plants. The bleak winds of spring seem to be useless, as they blow the snow about and sway the branches to and fro, but do they not have a purpose? Were it not for the March winds which shake the branches of the trees, the sap would not be carried to all their parts. These winds are necessary to the development of the buds. Today coal is the fuel which supplies heat for manufacturing purposes. The coal which is so useful to us was formed from vast forests which grew many centuries ago. Those forests so long imbedded in the rock are not lost, but have been transformed into another form still useful to mankind. In history we learn of many events which may seem to have given nothing helpful to the world, but nevertheless, nothing was lost. The early settlers of our country laid the foundation for our present great nation. With Washington, Hamilton, and other prominent men as leaders, our Constitution was made. These men endured many hardships, and had it not been for their perseverance America would not be today a mighty nation. The Civil W'ar, the darkest period in our history, was not lost. As a result, our states are not divided by slavery, but are united with stronger interests than before. The United States is a country of equal rights and privileges, 22 THE CRESCENT a country Where the negro has freedom. Our better selves ever teach us that nothing is lost. The mother gives to her child her time, her means, her life, the best of all she possesses. Is it all lost? No! her Work will live through the ages. The true teacher gives herself to her pupils. Is her Work lost? By her the character of her pupils is formed. By her teachings she is determining the future prosperity of the country. The work of the teacher cannot be destroyed. Is the hard work of school and the time spent in obtaining an education lost? More than ever before, the world is demanding trained minds. To be educated is to be able to do things. The more we can do and do Well, the more satisfactory is life. Citizens of Lee:-To you Who have aided us in so many ways during our course, I extend the heartfelt thanks of the class of 1911. You have provided the ways and means for an education which is so essential in our generation. Your interest and support have main- tained our schocl and thus we are better prepared to take upon ourselves the re- sponsibilities of the future. To you, parents and citizens of Lee we owe much. Alumni:-I Wish to thank you for all the kindess you have shown us, and for the encouragement you have given our class during the days spent at L. N.A. By your loyalty we have been inspired to Work for this day when We should receive our diplomas. Very soon We shall be no longer students but among your number. May We show as much interest in the classes of the future as you have in us. Trustees:-To you, who during our entire school life have been ever mindful of our welfare, We express sincere thanks. For our good you have Worked and planned. Through your efforts we have been provided with excellent teachers that We might be fitted for the voyage of life. We as a class truly appreciate your kindness. Schoolmates:4Our days spent to- gether at L. N. A. have been happy ones. Of you We have many pleasant memories which will remain With us throughout life. You certainly have been helpful to us. You have given us cheer as We have climbed toward our goal. Witli best wishes for your future, We bid farc- Well. Teacliers:-What you have done for our class we can never repay, and I can- not express the gratitude which We feel toward you. You have been faithful and ever willing to assist us in our school Work. By your example and influence you have taught us lessons which will be invaluable all through life. Your true Christian characters have been models of all that is truest and best.

LENA ALICE MERRILL Music Awarding of Prizes Presentation of Diplomas The annual corn roast was held on the shore of Silver Lake, early in the fall. After the roast a most enjoyable evening was spent in playing games and singing. The boys said they had a jolly good time. We were very fortunate in having with us last fall, two well known elo- cutionists, Miss Agnes Hersey and Miss Exerene Flood. Both entertainments were enjoyed by an appreciative audience. We were pleased to receive a call early i1I the fall term from J. VV. Taylor, State Inspector of Secondary Schools. Few of us will forget the Halloween Party, October 31. The female ghosts were sold at auction on the corner. Then all marched to the Academy Building where the evening was pleasantly spent in playing games an doing Halloween stunts. A very pleasant reception was given the teachers and students by the Christian Endeavor Society early in the fall term. The refreshments were daintily served in small birch bark canoes. THE CRESCENT 27 The following members of the senior class were assistants in the Model School during the fall and winter terms: Ruth Ames, Lena Merrill, Ethel Merrill and Mearle Maxwell. The usual crowd attended Springfield Fair in September. The time spent in going and coming passed merrily in sing- ing school songs and giving the school yells. The teachers and some of the students attended the Teachers' Convention which was held at Bangor, October 27 and 28. Two interesting debates have been held this year, between members of the Senior Class and Forest Grange. The first was at the Academy Building, February 3. The question for debate was: Resolved that cities of the U. S. should own and control all the public franchises now conferred upon corpora- tions. The debators were as follows: Affirmative, L. N. A. Seniors-Paul Coliin, Ethel 'Merrill. Negative, Forest Grange-Mrs. Grace Lowell, Mr. Hollis Mallett. The second debate was held at the Grange Hall. Question for debate: Re- solved that tl1e passage of the Canadian Reciprocity Bill as now before Congress will be for the best interests of the people of the U. S. Debators were as follows: Affirmative, L. N. A. Seniors-Lena Merrill, Ernest Delano. Negative, Forest Grange-Mrs. Belle Brean, Mr. Harold Dow. We are very glad to say that the Seniors won in both debates. The party given by Principal and Mrs. Verrill to the Seniors, january 21, holds a high place among the numerous pleasures of the winter term. The magic music was greatly appreciated by all. The students were glad as well as surprised to be released from their duties a short period November 7, to attend the Serenade of Lula Lyon Bartlett, a former L. N. A. student. A number of socials have been held during the year for the benefit of the Senior Class. One of the most enter- taining was the Coon Show held Febru- ary 27. The colored orchestra was a prominent feature of the evening. The entire program was furnished by the coons. Rev. G. S. Robinson, J. D. Murphy, G. W. Coflin and Prin. Verrill spoke in the interests of Lee Normal Academy before the Educational Committee at Augusta, March 1. The Masquerade Social, held April 7, was a very enjoyable time. Many different characters were well represent- ed. The prize was awarded to Vere Averill and Avon Flanders who were dressed as Minnehaha and Hiawatha. The Senior Class and Mr. and Mrs. Verrill were pleasantly entertained by the Misses Herrick, Young and Gilmore, at the Dormitory, April 14. The first of the evening was passed in playing games of various kinds, while the latter part was spent in doing full justice to the refreshments, which were tastily served. V E. 1 1 ggAn11.En as 1 i Several good games of baseball were played during the spring term of 1910. Although the L. N. A. team was very light it showed that it contained very good material. Considering that most of the boys had never played in a team before, they should be given much credit for the games that they won against heavier teams. During the fall term of '10 the school received a challenge to a track meet from the Springfield Normal School. This was promptly accepted by tl1e boys of L. N. A. The result was as follows 1- Springfield squealed! The boys seem to take great interest in this branch of athletics considering that it has never been taken up in the school before. An- other year promises to give the school a good track team. Basketball was a failure this year on account of the schoolys being unable to obtain the hall for the games. The boys however were not to be deprived of good physical exercise by the absence of a basketball team. W'ith the beginning of the winter term boxing gloves were obtained and all the boys had a hand in the sport. Some of the bouts were very amusing to teachers as well as to scholars, and many a noon hour during the cold weather passed very pleasantly, if some- what noisily. The spring term of 1911 opened with eight of the boys present who played on last yearis baseball team. As they are heavier and have had more experience much is expected of them this year. The line-up for the first practice games was as follows:- Rollin Thurlow, c Vinal Cobb, ss Ernest Delano, p Ycrnard Cobb, lf Pearlie McLaughlin, sb Willard Houghton, tb Raleigh Boober, fb Amos Gerald, rf Avon Franders, cf 1 s in-q....+ ASSISTANT TEACHERS 1 ! 1 1 1 4 I y. fi' 1 www I Rersnna 5 0 !

'12 The address by Mr. Heald and the pleasant reports of tl1e Augusta Con- ference made the boys anxious to attend the Sixth Annual Conference at Bangor this year. The Conference began February 24, with a banquet at Gaiety Hall. Over one thousand boys were seated at the tables. VVelcoming addresses were made after the banquet by Mayor lVoodman, W'illian1 Banton and Hou. Arthur Chapin, President of Bangor Chamber of Com- merce. On Saturday afternoon all the boys were given a free ride on the electrics and steam cars to the University of Maine where they were entertained by the president and students. The Conference ended Sunday evening. We boys not only had a very good time at this convention but also had a chance to better understand practical Chris- tianity. The following attended the conven- tion: Prin. Elmer R. Verrill, Amos Gerald, Vance Houghton, Harvey Hansf com, George Collin, Avon Flanders, Fay McCafferty, llfillard Houghton, Vernard Cobb, George Blake, Raleigh Boobier. Ii1RKsv1LLI2, Missonm. March 27, 1911. To 1'1Lj.f lrffftfllfij' fmrl ,S1Ilzn0Z11zzzZcs of L. N. A. It was a bright clear morning on the ninth of September, nineteen hundred and ten, when I left Quincy, Illinois, and crossed the Mississippi into Missouri. During the trip I had been looking over the country. The picturesque moun- tains of New Hampshire and Yermont, the corn and potato fields of New York and Michigan, and the broad plains of Ontario had interested me. Now as I neared my destination, my thoughts turned from these things of nature to the place and school where I was going. At every station more passengers got on board. Finally a young fellow entered the car and took a seat near me. We soon be' gan to talk and he informed me that he THECRESCENT 33 was going to Kirksville to attend the State Normal School. As he was some- what acquainted in the place he kindly offered to assist me in finding a suitable boarding house. The tin1e passed very quickly and at half past eleven we ar- rived in Kirksyille. Kirksville is a city of about three thousand inhabitants. It is built on the plan of western cities. The business portion is in the form of a square with the courthouse located in the center. The streets run parallel, north and south, east and west. As my newly found friend and I walked down one of the streets, he told me about the place, but I was too tired and too much absorbed in the thought of school to pay much attention to what he said. W'e tried at several places to secure rooms but were unsuccessful. W'hen it was nearly noon he said that he must leave me as he had relatives with whom he was to board. I thanked him for his services, bade him good morning and started down the street. At the Hrst place where I stopped I saw a middlefaged lady in the front yard. She was one of those dear old souls who want to tell a fellow a lot of news and think all he has to do is to listen. No, her rooms were all taken, but there Was Mrs. Smith over cn the corner in the large, white house but the rent was high, and there was Mrs. jones up the street in that large yellow house with tl1e green blinds but that was not a very good place. She was sure I would find a room without difficulty and I did suc- ceed after a time. I spent the afternoon at the college, arranging for entrance. The next day I met a young man from Ohio who had just come to enter. He had not found a room so I invited him up to mine. He seemed to like the lo- cation so we decided to live together. That night we went up town and got acquainted with a few of the boys. On Sunday we went to church and then spent the rest of the day talking of our homes, each telling of the good things of his state. One would have thought from our conversation that Maine and Ohio were the only states on the map. By Monday morning we were well acquainted and started for school together. We had been told to wear old clothes, as we would be used rather rough. The upper class- men were there before us, singing college songs and giving the college yells. We were called to order in Chemistry Hall. IVhile we were there the upperclassmen put boxes and seats in the way leading from the door, and each armed himself with a paddle and lined up on either side to hit us as we passed through and climbed over the boxes. They were shouting like madmen and as I watched them I made up my mind I would ,ight before I would go through. The in- structors gave out our lessons and dis- missed us. Those near the door made a rush to get out. Thoseoutside were trying to hold the door and letonlyone S l 1 l I 9 1 1 4 1 s 1 4 .1 5 1 1 . 34 THE CRESCENT out at a time. I threw ofi' my coat and got into the bunch. About one hundred and sixty of us were pushing and struggl- ing against three or four hundred of them. I was on the outside and somehow I got through the line, I was so excited I don't know how. Then I started to run across the campus and as I turned to look back I saw eight or ten fellows following me. There was a barbed wire fence in front of me. It looked to be low and I thought I could jump it but as I got near, I saw one wire about six inches above my head. All Icould do was to go through. A few minutes later I was in my room, my hands bleed- ing and my clothes torn. That nightI read the following item in the paper: f'The Freshmen of the A. S. O. were given a taste of college life this morning. One of them broke through the line, ran across the campus, tore through a barbed Wire fence and disappeared in the fields, but it was reported later that he returned in time for dinner. On the nineteenth of September we put up our colors and the juniors at- tempted to take them down but were unsuccessful. This is the first class for many years who have succeeded in keep- ing their colors up. That night we went up on the square, built a bonfire and paraded the streets until a late hour. Then we began to study and thoroughly realized that our fun was over until the Freshmen come next year. There are about seven hundred and seventy-nve students in the school here. The science cf Ostecpathy was given to the world by Dr. A. T. Still in 1874. The first school was founded in 18232. Dr. Still is a Civil War veteran of the northern army. He was a doctor and practised until, as he says, until he found it was not the way to cure disease. This is the way he describes Osteopathy. Osteopathy deals with the body as an intricate machine which, if kept in proper adjustment, nourished and cared for, will run smoothly into a ripe and useful old age. As long as the human machine is in Order like the locomotive or any other mechanical contrivance, it will perform the functions for which it was intended. When every part of the machine is adjusted and in perfect harmony, health will hold dominion over the 'human organism by laws as natural and immutable as the laws of gravitation. Every living organism has within it the power to manufacture and prepare all chemicals, material and forces needed to build and rebuild itself together with all the machinery and apparatus required to do this work, in the most perfect manner producing the only substance that can be utilized in the economy of the individual. No material other than food and water, taken in satisfaction of the demands of appetite, can be introduced from the outside 'without detriment.

It is mostly our own fault, because we have been careless in sending the CRES- CENT to other schools. VVe hope to be more prompt this year and receive more exchanges The Colby Echo and The Nlainc Cam- pus reach us weekly and are very wel- come. VVe like to keep in touch with college life. The December number of the Clovis is one of the neatest exchanges we have ever received. VVe consider the Aquila an excellent paper. Wciiild it not make the paper even more attractive to put all the advertisements on the back pages? The River Road Review is one of our new exchanges. We hope it may come again.

THE PILOT AT THE HELM W'e launch our boat on the stream of life, With a purpose hrm and true, But we trust too much in our human strength To keep the goal in view, The storms come on with a force unknown, And with powers that overwhelm, But we feel the strength of a steady Hand When The Pilot takes the helm. The shoals are strewn with the wrecks of life, That trip unwary feet, And boats will drift that have no guide, Where dangers oft we meet, W'hile drifting o'er life's pleasure-shoals Temptations oft o'erwhelm, But safe are they who launch their boat With The Pilot at tl1e helm. He knows the way your boat should go, And the freight it ought to bear, With messages of life and hope For those bowed down with care, Don't wait 'till hearts have weary grown, And the storms of life O'6I'Wl'lElIll, But launch your boat and start in life With your Saviour at the helm. Colm A. Aimius. r Intl.- L. N. A. DORIVIITORY V THE CRESCENT 43 REUNION OF 1910 The annual School Reunion was held at Lee, Aug. 19, 1910. Although there was a heavy rain all the forenoon which prevented the hall game planned, a large crowd had gathered by noon and at 12 olclock the Alumni, students and friends of Lee Normal Academy, led by the Trustees, teachers and speakers marched from Elmwood Hall to the Grange Dining Hall where a delicious Banquet was served. In the afternoon an interesting pro- grame was listened to in Elmwood Hall. The address of welcome was given by Prin. E. R. Verrill, Lee, and prayer was offered by Rev. H. W Rhoades of Lee followed by short speech- es by J. D. Murphy, Bangor, Rev. G. S. Robinson, Old Town, H. VV. Rhoades, Lee, Truman Bradford, Sherman, Chas. House, Augusta, and two original poems by Prof. Knowlton of Monson and Parker Davis of East Winn, were very pleasing features of the exercises. Solos were sung by Misses Lane and Cummings, and Mrs. Rhoades, Messrs Towne, Mulherin and Pike, with Miss Olive Thomas at the piano. Craftls Orchestra of six pieces was in attendance throughout the programme. In the evening the crowning event of the day occurred in the address of W. R. Pattangall of Waterville. He Was introduced by Rev. G. S. Robinson. Prof. J. D. Murphy acted as chairman of the evening. Mr. Pattan- gall's subject was, Value of the Pros- pectivef' and in his impressive manner clearly defined the importance of plan- ning life carefully. He saidw Life is pretty much what we make it, and we are apt to make it according to our own plans within certain limits. UA well planned life may not always be successful but a poorly planned life is sure to be a failure and a life structure based on a plan drawn in false perspective is poorly planned indeed. Of teaching, Mr. Pattangall said- It is a splendid profession. There is none more high, none more useful. But this, I beg of you, if you find after trying the experiment that you cannot become teachers of high rank, cannot stand on an equality with your fellow workers, and command their respect give it up and take something else. After Mr. Pattangall's address which was received with loud applause, Mr. Robinson made a plea in behalf cf the 'fDew Drop , which was in great need of repairs. He suggested that a ccllec- tion be taken, giving 3510.00 himself. 35337.00 was taken in the Hall and the next day, the amount received was S5l20. We feel that we owe Mr. Robinson our heartfelt gratitude for this and also Mr. Pattangall who generously contributed his evening's fee of 3525.00 to the good work. . 44 THE CRESCENT Miss Cummings and Mr. Pike gave some pleasing solos in the evening and Craft's Orchestra played during the exercises and for the largely attended Ball that followed. The Reunion was indeed a success in every way and we are going to make it more of a one this year. Surely nothing could be more pleasant to you, the Alumni of L. N. A., than to spend a day among your old associates, and to see once more the old familiar scenes and faces. We extend a hearty invitation to each and every one of you to come this year, and trust you will feel it your duty to your Alma Mater to help make this coming Reunion, the best one yetf' i..+.+.1, LOYALTY When speaking of loyalty we are thinking of a quality that is character- istic of every true life. Indeed, it is a prerequisite of life. The sun sheds upon us its light and life-giving rays by day, and the other heavenly bodies fulfill their appointments by night, in unquestioning obedience to the Creator's will. The earth yields her increase year after year in simple fidelity to the laws of Him who in His own time and Way brought light and order out of darkness and chaos. Though the philosophic mind may re- gard this faithfulness in the realm of nature as a soulless and involuntary loyalty, that conception which attributes to material things at least a passive obedience does no violence to truth, and surely adds a more pleasing aspect to life's panorama than it would otherwise present. It takes away the idea of cold, inflexible, inexorable demand and help- less acquiescence, and gives to us the happier conception of creation yielding a ready obedience to the Creator. It is, however, when We enter the sphere of human activities that loyalty makes its strongest appeal, and brings to us its sweetest lessons. Here we find that our well-being and happiness depend upon devotion, hdelity, constancy, faithfulness, loyalty. Alle- giance to our Constitution and to civil ordinances guarantees the unity of our nation, and the peace of the community. Fidelity in our l1o1ne relations, devotion to loved ones insures society's security and our domestic weal. Loyalty to high principles, and faithfulness to the es- tablished laws and rules governing life and its attainmen ts crown men as philoso- phers, statesmen, philanthropists, make teachers and preachers, and leaders in the commercial, social and religious life of the world. i No less is this quality of loyalty re- quired in the student who, first as a humble learner is ushered into the treas- ure house of wisdom to draw from its store that which is essential to the realiza- tion of life's highest aims and fullest enjoyment. Only by constancy and de- THE CR ESCENT a 45 votion docs he reap the sheaves of knowledge, only by loyalty to truth, loyalty to opportunity-the master of human destiniesf'-loyalty to his possi- bilities does he rise from low planes to higher, surmount difliculties, win vic- tories, and gain Heavenis approval. Where shall we look for some noble exhibition of loyalty? Our own battlehelds furnish many an inspiring example of heroic devotion, loyal hearts beating 'neath coats of blue and gray. History, ancient and modern, glows with the brilliant deeds recorded of men noble in purpose, mighty in valor, and unswerving in allegiance to their cause. But can we hnd a more beautiful and charming display of true loyalty than in the story of Ruth the Moabitess? When couselled by Naomi to return to her own kindred in her widowhood, she made reply, ulintreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go, and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: 'tVVhere thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buriedf Says one in commenting, UF or simple pathos and unstudied eloquence this language is unsurpassed. Love and reso- lution are at their height. They are not words of extrayagance or of passion, but of feeling, of principle, of a fixed and changeless mind. Constancy must be admired, even by the inconstantf' And another, Her vow has stamped itself on the very heart of the world, and that not because of the beauty of its form simply, though even in our English version it sounds like a sweet and noble nn1sic, but because it expresses in a worthy form, and once for all, the utter devotion of a genuine and self-conquering love. Ruth's loyalty to her purpose led her away from much, doubtless, to which she was strongly attached, and into the untried experiences of the future. Her sacrifice, and future uncertainties were all disregarded in her devotion to Naomi. And if we follow the narrative we see the bounteous reward of her loyalty? Here, reader, is the lesson for us: True loyalty 1I1l,1St spring from love. It may lead us away from much that we prize, it may, nay, will require us to face unknown paths in life. But we may be sure that if the objects of our love are higl1 and noble, and worthy of our loyalty, our devotion to them will bring us rich and lasting reward. Let us say to all in life that is true, and honest, and just, and pure, and lovely, and of good report, NVhere thou goest, I will go, where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. Thus shall we draw from life its sweetest blessings, and render it our highest service. Be loyal! whate'er the sphere in which, by Heavenls decree thy lot is cast. On battlefield, in royal halls or humble 46 THECRESCENT home, in service the most lowly, God sees and loves devoticns' sacrifice, and has in store a gracious recompense. H. W. RHoADES. i.lH.i... FINE TEAM WORK The results of the sixty-sixth years work of Lee Normal Academy has more than met the expectations of those who prophesied for it an increasing all-round growth in every way, resultiing in an eiiiciency that would be mutually satis- factory. These happy resluts have been at- tained only by hard conscientious team Work of the teachers. True it is that Lee Normal has had this past year a force of teachers well qualified to develop the best in every way: Each one has given generously of their best, not for himself, but for the school as a whole, and be- cause of the harmonious, earnest efforts to guide and to train, the school, recog- nizing the dominant spirit, has most nobly responded. Everyone will agree that i'Education should be true in its conception, wise in its adaptation, and sound in its methodsf, and this past years work has typified this motto. That the task has been an easy one'- none will admit, but owing to the master- ly leadership of Principal Verrill many difficulties have been overcome, and the school placed in such a position as to command the attention, interest and respect-not only of the people of the community, but of the educational lead- ers of the state. The same spirit that dominated Americals greatest educational leader- Horace Mann-seems to govern Mr. Verrill. Horace Mann was a leader be- cause he successfully attacked old- fashioned ways at the right time. He saw even more Clearly than the text books the pupils-and his keen insight and foresight led him to work for TRUE education: So it is with Mr. Verrill, and for his unwavering loyalty to the high ideal l1e has of a Ugood school we owe much. The same earnest endeavor that has been manifest in the past has marked the fourth year of Miss Herrickis service, and one can say of her as she lives among us as teacher, and friendfthat while she teaches much from books-she teaches most helpfully by her own life. These words are most typical of our honored preceptress- There is nothing in the universe that I fear but that I shall not know my duty or shall fail to do it. Miss Muriel Young of Brewer has won the favor and appreciation of all. Miss Young is a graduate of Bucksport Seminary, and has studied at Castine and the University of Maine. As teacher, friend and companion she has been no small factor in the excellent results of the year. Miss Young has taught in Greenville and in Orrington. ,,.....w-wr' RESIDENCE OF GEO. W. COFFIN VILLAGE STREET, LEE, MAINE THE CR ESCENT 49 Miss Edith Gilmore, of Brewer, is a graduate of F armingtong she has studied at Bucksport and taught in Orrington and Brewer, this past year she has most prohtably taught the Model school. The changes in the Model school are clean cut, and under the present regime the school has certainly been raised to a higher rating. Separating the beginners and first grades from the others is a splendid step in advance. The school committee were fortunate in securing one of our own graduates, Miss Nellie Cofhn, to assist Miss Gilmore in her work. In any town the teaching force is a large influence, and Lee is to be con- gratulated most heartily on its Academy force. It would be hard to lind four teachers more devoted to their work and more interested in church and town matters-never intrusive, but always ready to help in any way they may. Mann once wrote, UThere are owls who, to adapt the World to their own eyes, would always keep the sun from shiningf' presumably that is true today, but the people who prefer the dark to the light are not numerous in Lee, and there is a mutually healthful and sympathetic interest in the work of the school and that for which it stands, viz: EDUCA- TION. Education must enlighten mankind in the choice of pursuits, it must guide them in the selection and use of the most appropriate means, it must impart that steadiness of purpose which results from comprehending the connections of a long train of events, and seeing the end from the beginning, or all enterprises will terminate in ruin. As it now stands Lee Normal Academy is an institution of which all may well be proud. F1,oRA V. STEms1Ns. CFor the Alumnij UP THE HILL OF SAN JUAN What manly hearts have throbbed and thrilled At deeds of the olden days, At Marathon and Thermopylae, As sung in the poet's lays! How oft we've turned the pages o'er Of Roman power and pride, And felt our lifevblood surging fast When noble Caesar died. And English Richard's mighty arm, And Henry of Navarre, Have each a glorious record made And turned the tide of war. Until brave hearts shall cease to beat Our blood shall ever thrill As gallant Wallace and his Scots Climb grim Dumbarton Hill. And yet in all the glorious struggles These ancient annals tell, Among the old heroic stories The world has learned so well. Though, truly, deeds ol' such devotion This world were poor to missf XVe lind in all that honored record No braver deed than this. Y 1 l u 1 i 50 THE CRESCENT When up the slopes of San juan That burning july day, Our bonny flag through blood and death Met Spain's intrenched array. Oh, gallant hearts did battle there! A nationls strong and true, And though their numbers were not great, More glory for the few There side by side with bated breath, The white man and the black, With clear, unflinching eyes, faced death Along that bloody track. No color line was there that day- True manhood leveled all- For black and white and rich and poor Had heard their country's call. And cowboy, scout, and college man, When that grim ight was done, Lay side by side with faces white Beneath the july sun. XYhen o'er the top of San juan Our glory llag was llying, The wounded cheered with failing breath, Though for it they were dying.
