The school year opened September 8, 1914, with about the usual number of students. Those who entered as Freshmen this year started regular courses of study. This is al- ways advisable since it is advantageous to both teachers and students, eliminating conflicts in the study schedule and enahlinga student at all times to find his exact position with reference to classification and graduation. -X- Many changes were made in the facility this year. Mr. Verrill, who was with us five years, accepted the presidency of the East Maine Conference Seminary at Bucksport, and began his duties there in the fall. Miss Wil- helmina Noyes left to accept a position in Island Falls High School, and Miss Alma Clapp, in Corinna Union Academy. Miss Mary Utecht was the only one of last yearls board to remain with us. Thomas S. Bridges, a gradu- ate of Bates and Harvard Law School, was elected to take Mr. Verrill's place. In place of Miss Clapp and Miss Noyes, the assistants at the Academy are Etta M. Rowell of Bates, and Julia H. Barron of Castine Normal School. Miss Rubie Ireland, of Wilton, who previously taught here, has charge of the Model School, in place of Miss Hazel Anne. .-X.. Early in the fall term, the Senior Class gave a formal reception at the Gymnasium for the new teachers. This gave the people an op- portunity to meet the teachers early in the school year. ix.. The annual reunion of the Alumni, trus- tees, and teachers of Lee Academy was held at Lee, August 14, 1914. In spite ofa little rain, the attendance was large and the day enjoyed by the many friends of the school. E Governor Haines was among the speakers of the day. .-X1 Many improvements were made on the Dormitory this summer. It is now very pleas- ant and attractive. 2 THE CRESCENT At the opening of the spring term, a new Some of the registration fees collected this bell was placed in the middle recitation room year will be used in purchasing apparatus for for the purpose of summoning classes. The old bell in Room Four has refused to work. The new bell, being centrally located, is easily heard over all the building. .-Xi A book, entitled Europe at War has been added to the library. This is a very in- teresting description of modern warfare. It sets forth the circumstances leading up to the war, and the international correspondence pre- ceeding the outbreak of hostilities. -X.. Something of interest in the seating of the students at the Academy this year is this: a row of seats is devoted to each of the tive classes. The members of each class are seated according to rank, attendance, and deport- ment. Those having the highest average in their classes have the back seats, next lower in rank, the second seats, and so on through the classes. iiiith a few words of explanation on the part of the teacher, visitors may easily determine the standing of each student in his class. This arrangement invites competition, encourages good conduct, and decreases absence from school. , -x-- has been purchased at New apparatus various times during the year for the labora- tory. Those worthy of mention are: a set of balances, a linear expansion outfit, a pair of bar magnets, an anvil vise, a compass, piano wire, plane and cylindrical mirrors, besides several small things. Some of the old appara- tus has been repaired so that it is now as ser- viceable as when new. the Gymnasium. . -XM The White Medals, sent in 1914 by Mr. J. W. VVhite of Florida, to the two students in the class of 1914 having the highest rank, were awarded to Miss Hazel Thurlow and Mr. Jasper Lowell. ix... Fred L. Varney M. D. of Monson, a mem- ber ofthe class of Lee Academy, '96, designed and presented to us the new cover which ap- pears on the CRESCENT this year. We are all very much pleased with it, and we wish to thank Mr. Varney for his kindnessand thought- fulness. -X- VVe wish to thank those who have adver- tised in the CRESCENT this year. We trust this may prove beneficial to you. ,x-- Some time ago I was asked by a member of one of the visiting athletic teams, why I at- tended Lee Academy. My answer in substance was as follows: Because Lee Academy offers a course of study equal to that of city schools, and young men and women are privileged to the same education oHered in a city school without the unnecessary expense of trying to keep pace with wealthier students. There are no wealthy students at- Lee Academy. It es- pecially seeks, out those with limited means who are desirous of an education, There are no harmful or distracting influences, common to cities and manufacturing towns, to divert the students' mind from school work.

The road to happiness is the eontinuous effort to make others happy. The ehief aim of life ought to he usefulness, not ll:l,DiJlIlGSSZ but happiness alway follows usefulness. H In the battles which oeeurred many years ago there was mueh needless suffering eaused by the lack of nurses and doetors to eare for the wounded. Henri Dunant, a Swiss gentle- man, wrote a hool: telling of his experienees on a certain battle Held and asking the nations to form a. soeiety uto aid in the prevention and alleviation of human suffering in times of war and peaeef' In the fall of 1864 the people were aroused, and eleven governments signed the Treaty of Geneva, sometimes ealled 'iThe Red Cross Treaty. Sinee then nearly every eountry has signed it. The Society adopted a white flag with a Greek red eross in honor of the Swiss government. The Red Cross Soeieties were well estah- lished and aided as mueh in great disasters as they did in war. For this reason the American Red Cross Society was organized hy an Aet of United States Congress. It is under Govern- ment supervision and its purpose is, 'iTo eon- tinue and carry on a system of national and international relief in time of peace and apply the same in mitigating the suffering caused lmy pestilenee, famine, tire, floods and other great national calamities, and to devise and earry on measures for preventing the same, President Wilson is president ofthe Society, the Presi- 4 THE CRESCENT dent of the United States alwa.ys holding that oiiice. Since 1905 the American Red Cross Socie- ty has helped in seventy-five disasters in this country and foreign countries. In all, it has expended 312,000,000 Our national calamity, the Dayton Flood, that occurred in the year 1913, gives us an idea what the Society does at such times. As soon as news was received, nurses and doctors were sent to aid the stricken people. They worked hand in hand with the govermnent in the expenditures of the money and the work of relief. School houses, chugches, and other public buildings were opened so that the people who had lost their homes would have some shelter. After the flood subsided, lumber was given to many of the people so they could build new homes. In some cases food was procured from merchants, but much of it was received from the people outside the Hood district. Bangor alone sent nearly 351000 to help these people. In Key West, Florida, a great many of the men are employed in the fishing industry. In a great storm which occurred in 1909, they lost their boats, the only means they had of earning a living, but the Red Cross Society furnished them material to build others and paid them wages while they were really work- ing for them selves. After the boats we1'e finished, the wages ceased and the fishermen resumed their occupation. One branch of the Red Cross Society aids in the prevention of the dreaded disease, tuber- culosis. There are sanitariums all over the United States. One way of raising money for this work is by the sale of the Red Cross Christ- mas seals. Even with the great need of money caused by the war and the suffering in Europe, the year 1914 breaks all records in the sale of these charity stamps. In a few weeks 35520,- 000 was raised making a total of 82,320,000 received in the fight against the NVhite Plague. During the present European War the Red Cross has sent 195 doctors and nurses to take care of the wounded. Some went to the scene of battle and some to hospitals. Many sup- plies have been sent, such as blankets, coats, bandages, and disinfectants. The Society in Bangor has sent many supplies and nearly 33000. Last November they sent S2000 to the Belgians and much clothing. The Red Cross Society holds a much higher place in the eyes of the world than it did a few years ago, and it is growing more and more in importance. Charles Wagner author of The Simple Lifefl says that thc sentiment which causes people to run to each otherls aid and gives them courage to go into the thickest of the fight to rescue the wounded and bind up their wounds, will some day put an end to war. 'iThc Red Cross will triumph over the cannon . And now, in behalf of my classmates who are to tell you of our past and future, I again bid you a cordial welcome. Josie BIINNIE 0'RoAK. gilistnrg uf the Clllass nf 1EI15. LTHOUGH I do not wish to make this V - history as unwelcome as Ancient Hist- ory has been to some of us. I feel that I must call your attention to a few of the im- portant events of our four years at Lee Academy. Of the twenty-eight who entered in 1911 only nine members now remain, but in 1915 Helen joined us, making our class the largest THECRESCENT 5 that has graduated from Lee Academy within twenty-six years. In our Freshman year, when we were young and irresponsible, we spent our time mostly in play, but have regretted it ever sinceg but the saying, iiChildren will be children,', has given us some consolation. The next year we returned wise and honored Sophomores,-at least in our own estimation, which is the way with most Sophomores. That year we were lucky in everything we undertook, even in winning the basketball game against the Seniors and Juniors. In our Junior year we distinguished our- selves by making ice cream once, and by look-- ing out for the Sophomores. In order that you may understand and ap- preciate our brilliant successes as Seniors, I think you ought to know the individual mem- bers of our class a little better. ' First, tlzere is Josie, who has always been held up as the one member of our class who was dignified and an old maid. But it was at Reunion in 1914, that a miraculous change ca.me over Jos, and now, when there is a boy in sight tmeaning one particular boy, of coursej .los always manages to remain in sight too. Since the Senior Play, when one of the boys in- formed her that she looked pretty on the stage, I, her roommate have been obliged to bear the name of HJeff because of her increased height. From Jos, my mind naturally wanders to Evan, the fiirt of our class. This little boy has gone through his four years at Lee Academy winning the heart of many a fair maid and then breaking it. But this year he has done no more than crack them, and as one of the Soph- oniores always has a bottle of glue handy, he has succeeded in repairing some of the damages. Then we have known of cases where Evan, him- self, came to the rescue. Avon also has an interest in the Sopho- mores. Although he is fond of study he does not spend all his time in this way, as those who have been in the Dormitory reception room can testify. Avon does not believe in flirting, but he has never been able to find a girl that thinks as he does, so his social life has not al- ways been a happy one. In her younger days, one member of our class formed the had habit of not studying. This was all right until our Senior year, when alas! we found that the back seats were for the brilliant only. This has proved hard eng the Senior class, hecausc many of us have been obliged to wear glasses because of the brightness in the front of the room. This is caused by Luda, the light of our class in good nature, hair, etc. Would you ever guess that Vance had been bashful? No, I think you would notg never- theless it is true. But when the Senior .Play came off, he surprised every one by his fine im- personation of the French peddler. We expect he will soon be looking for a girl. Good luck to you,Vance,when you decide to go a-courting. Helen, our gift from the Junior class, is noted for being true blue: she was true blue be- fore she carrie to Lee, she was true blue toPage for nearly a year: she has been true blue to Mike for over a year: and we wonder to whom she will be true blue next. E Following in alphabetical order, and other- wise, comes Karl, who, soon after entering our class, had a chance to make a choice between girls and A -Hs, and Karl decided in favor of the girls. This choice has caused him some trouble, asit is no cinch to ring an Academy 6 THE CRESCENT bell, and escort a girl,-even though it is Helen--to the Dormitory in three minutes. Later, however, two minutes were added to the three and as, Hpractice makes perfeetsll Karl has succeeded very well. Karl and his love affairs remind us of Page, who has also had rather hard luck in this line. After the Senior Play, however, he made such a hit at playing second fiddle, while some- body else played the first, that he succeeded in winning the heart of the one girl in the world. We congratulate Page that his troubles in this line are now over. Last lout not least, comes our class president, who has always looked up to the higher classes ir. general, and down to one member in partic- ular. This year Lester has become interested in school-teaching and has been taking a cor- respondence course in this subject. llc has de- cided that, although he likes the people in the profession,he will not take it up as his life work, As I have been truthful so far in this llis- tory, and wish to eontinue so, I think silence in regard to myself will be the best policy. And now a word about the good times we have had this year: our reception to the new teachers, our trip to the cottage with Mrs. Bridges, the Senior Play, Hllown By The Seaf' both at Lee and Carroll, our Senior spread at the Dew Drop on New Year's Eve, the trip to H. A. C. with Mrs. Averill, and so many morel If, however, I should start to tell all the good times of our Senior year, I am afraid you would still find me talking when you came to graduation next year, so with these few events, I will bid you adieu. Swim A NNE llAT1I,xw.x Y. Egelginm lgesterhag auth Un-img. ,Q VNDBEDS of years ago, when Home fmt, was in the height of her power, Caesar was waging warin what was then known as Gaul. That region was the land now oceu- pied by France and Belgium. In his commen- taries on the Gallic War, Caesar relates that, of all the tribes with which he waged war, the bravest were the Belgae or Belgians. This bravery has been clearly shown in the present great war. HAS brave as the Belgians,'l has become a. familiar saying. This little country, one of the smallest of Europe, is situated in northern Europe, borde1'- ing the North Sea. Lying between Germany on the east and France on the west, Belgium is overshadowed by her powerful neighbors. ller area, ll,3T3 square miles, is only about one third of that of Maine. Vermont and New Hampshire are each nearly as large as Bel- gium. ller population before the war was about T,00tl,llOO, making her the most thickly populated country of Europe. Antwerp, Liege, and Brussels are her best known cities. Farm- ing is carried' at extensively, every square inch of the soil is utilized. Belgium has many scientific and literary societies, public libraries, music and art schools, some of the greatest artists and musicians of the world are num- bered among her population. The history of Belgium as a separate king- dom dates from the year 1831, when she part- ed from Holland. The government is a con- stitutional monachy in which the succession is hereditary. The people are liberty-loving, kind, and democratic. There seems to be a closer feeling between the people and their King than in any other country. King Albert, THE CRESCENT 7 the present ruler, has been called the most democratic King of Europe. On the 19th of April 18357, a treaty was signed in London by the King of Belgium on one hand, and by the Emperor of Prussia, the Emperor of Austria, the King of Russia, and the Queen of England on the other. One of its articles made the declaration that Belgium should form a separate and perpetually neu- tral state. The consignatories promised for themselves and their successors, upon oath, to fulfill and observe this treaty in every point. The world was greatly startled at the out- break of the great European conflict which has already, in lives lost and money expended, surpassed any war that history has ever known. All eyes were fixed upon Belgium to see if Germany would violate Belgium's neutrality. Germany, bent on invading France. at once rushed into Belgian territory. The act was an evident violation of Belgiuni's neutrality, however tl1e little country was entirely justified in taking up arms against a foe, entering with- out giving any explanation of the act. At Liege the Belgians displayed great bravery, holding back the enemy for days at a time when Germany wished tobe invading France. From here the Belgians were driven slowly out of their country, but not until they had inflicted terrible losses upon the enemy. Love of their beautiful capitol, with its priceless art treas- ures, caused them to abandon it rather than expose it to the horrors of a siege. Fighting bravely, the Belgian army was foreed back into Antwerp, where a furfile attempt was made to check the enemy. Forced almost to the bor- der of France, the Belgians rallied aml with the help of their allies, stopped the tide of in- vasion. War has to be paid for in money, but of far greater account, is the price of human life. Belgium has been practically blotted from the earth by the blight of war. A large propor- tion of her young men has been killed or wounded, her women and children are starv- ing, all because of war. Out ofa total popu- lation of 7,000,000, it is estimated that 1,000,- 000 have lost their lives. No people have shown such fortitude under such hard con- ditions as the Belgians. Under the power of an enemy, only a little strip of land in their possession, crops and homes destroyed, they are attempting to rise from ruin. We all recognize the pitiable plight of this little coun- try trampled upon by immense armies and with her fields soaked with blood. As soon as her condition came to the atten- tion ofthe world, the Fnited States, as the nation best fitted for the work of rescue, made plans to help the needy. Through the gener- osity of American citizens ship-loads of food- stuffs were sent to the stricken country. The so-called Belgian relief societies were formed and donations of money from private citizens were sent to relieve the suffering. Even our own state has responded with ear-loads of potatoes and other necessities. Belgium is a typical example of the destruetiveness of twentieth century warfare. Here started the great war that has made her the cemetary of so many soldiers. The world cannot but admire the way in which she has acted under such circumstances. P The question may be asked as to the future of Belgium. Knowing the conditions under which she has been placed, we all hope that she will continue in her untiring efforts to re- gain her independence, and when this great war 8 THE CRESCENT is over, that she will rise from her desolation, and attain her rightful place among the nations of the world. VANCE HANsoN Lowi:LL. Qshhress in Qlliinirergrahuzrtes- NCE again the silent wheels of time, in their swift and ceaseless roll, have brought us to the close of another school This has been a year of marked activity in matters of world wide interest. The nations YCZII' . of Europe are engaged in one of the most san- guinary struggles in the worldls history, it is the year of the opening of the Panama Canal tothe commerce of the world, it marks the completion of the great Snoqualmie Tunnel through the Cascade Mountains-a giant bore of two and one-half miles through solid rocky but the one great event which stands out more prominently than all the others the gradu- ation of the class of 1915, Lee Academy. I ask the members of this audience to look on the solemn and judge-like faces of Page and Karl, also to note the clean-cut Grecian pro- iilesof Lester, Avon and Vance. When you compare the radiant beauty of the female members of this class with that of the ordinary, do you wonder that this group is the pride and envy of the undergraduates? Psychology teaches us that if a person lives on a skim milk diet, he will think skim milk thoughts: but it remained for the girls of this class to demonstrate that the humble 'ihiot dogw is the greatest beautitier of the age. They are to be eaten between the hours of nine and ten P. M., and, in desperate cases-like that of the Junior class-I would recommend a double dose to be eaten on Sundays. I am offering tl1is suggestion hoping that it will do away with the many useless experiments with bleach- es and red ochre. Junior girls: Your number is small, but the number of boys in the class is smaller. I sincerely hope that, with this thought in mind, you will spend the most of your vacation in trying to induce some unfortunate lads to join your class. Sophomores: Considering the material you have to work with, you are progressing wonderfully in your earnest attempts to imitate the class of l15. Of course you girls can't ex- pect to become very beautiful, but if you have noticed the many new quirks the Senior girls have had on their hair this year, I think that you will agree that a little study on your part in the art of hair-dressing will help you out. There are only two of you boys in the class, and as I have watched the frequent changes in your vocations, it has aroused one of the deepest feelings of interest. Last year Claude thought seriously of establishing a smoke-house, but his tirst armful of cobs tCobbsi proved so green that they would not even smoke. Since then he has been engaged in several occupations, the most successful of which has been the transportation of scholars from Lee to Lin- coln. Claude, I think it is time you put on the emergency brake and steady down to some of the habits of stick-to-it-iveness which your classmate, Ivan, possesses. In the earlier part of his Freshmen year, Ivan undertook a diffi- cult and heart-aching task, but after two long years of perseverance, he is now able to make Carroll hills on high gear. Freshmen: Although you are constantly commiting careless acts, your ways are improv- ing rapidly, especially since two of your mem- ..q, THE CRESCENT 9 bers met with the shower-bath. Now that we have started you in the right direction, I think that by next year, the present Juniors will be capable of guiding you safely through your Sophomore year. Undergraduates: we are gathered here for the last time as schoolmates, and I ask you to look back with me over the years of our school life. While the picture, which we will always treasure, slowly unfolds before us, let us ask ourselves this question, 'iHave we made the best use of the great opportunities, and appre- ciated the many privileges which have been ours? Let us remember that they have been made possible only through the untiring efforts of our parents, teachers, and the many friends of this school, In regard to your school course, my advice to you is this: be thorough in your school work, and remember that the difficult problems are put in our way not to stop us in our course, but to call out our strength and develop our energy. Some people skip everything that is ditficultg and at last the habit of doing only what is easy and pleasant pre- vades the whole life. Such people accom- plish nothing worth while, and never rise above the commonplace. Mathematics may be hard for a certain student, and he seeks to evade the task of mastering them. By and by he comes to a profession in which mathematics is essen- tial, the door is shut to him. His one great opportunity is lost and he pays for an easy term of school work with the deep regret of a lifetime. Seheolmates, your duty before you is clear, make the most of the great privileges which are yours and remember that the best wishes of this class will ever be with you and your school. EVAN CECIL Conn. ...Y.-...g . ... . ilgrzsentzxtinn nf fgifts- sf OUR years ago there entered Lee Acad- ! emy a new class, our class, the class of L 1915. Early in our school life we and our teachers realized that we were no ordinary class. I think I am safe in saying that very few of the preceeding classes can boast of rank such as that received by seine members of this distinguished groupg and some of us have re- ceived marks that none would care to boast of. I doubt if anyone would question my statement if I said none could equal some of us in mischief-making. To help you remember your happy school days and your wonderful record, I have, after much work and careful consideration, chosen these tokens. Karl, since Helen informed us that she intended to go to Washington after graduation, you have read all the articles you could find written about that state. You are able to give people any information they desire concerning the climate, people and products. You have neglected one thing, however. It would bea terrible thing if you should get lost so far from home. So take this map of the United Statesg you will find Stella, Washington, and vicinity enlarged. This was drawn by Miss Trask her- self. It almost makes my heart ache to look at you, Avon, for it makes me think of that vow you made-never to marry. Many a fair lassie has knocked at the door of your heart only to Hnd it looked fast by that vow. To be sure, 10 THE CRESCENT we all know one who nearly succeeded in break- ing inl My friend, I warn you the life of a bacheloris a hard, lonely one to live. Take this box of bachelor's buttons and may they help you over some of the uphill places in your solitary life. Sara, you are the baby in our class. Of course you are not a real one, but you are the smallest of us all, and your actions are the most childish. You notice the rest of us are quite large, I think it would be better if we were all about the same size, so I wish to present you with this jar of Mellen's Food. Follow the directions carefully, and if one bot- tle is not enough to increase your size, get another. Vance, you are inclined to be very quiet and rather bashful. If you ever make any noise in the schoolroom it is done by accident and someone else gets the blame. It seems strange to see you here to-night, for you seldom attend social functions. Now I have found that one usually has to do some shouting, and kick up more or less racket to make his way in this life. As you are not used to doing such things, I give you this cow bell. Ring it occasionally to let people know that you are around. We have been told that red hair is a sign of temper. If that is the case, Luda, you must have a bad one. A row in the kitchen is some- thing most people do not care to indulge in. Perhaps if you should color your hair, those rows may be avoided. I will help you make your married life-if you have one-as happy Take this bottle of 'iRip Van Winkle's Hair Dyeg I hope it may have the desired 1'esult. Lester, if the Miss Jones whom you are acquainted with should move to Bangor, you would probably want to go to see her, would- and free from conflicts as possible. n't you? Yes. Well, in that city there are, I find, twenty-four families by the name of HJones. Not knowing this, you would go tothe first Jones you come to, call, but no Etna. Then, thinking that she did not want to see you, you would probably commit suicide. Here isa Bangor directory. Nay it prevent you from getting lost, prevent a crime, and save a heart. Helen, Iam not sure whether you have decided on teaching or matrimony for your vocation. I know you have been seriously con- sidering both. Now either of these is a, hard life, and any little gift that will help you should be appreciated. Take this whip, it can be used whichever way you decide. Evan, as raising potatoesis the chief oc- cupation ofthe people of Lee, it is likely that you will take up that work asa. means of liveli- hood. The potatoes that we raise are supposed to have come from Ireland, I thought some ad- vice written by a person from the Emerald Isle would be of great help to you. Here is a book written by Miss O'Hoak. If it cannot help you, perhaps the author can, but I can- not give her to you. Josie, last year you could have had powertsl but you did not care for him-possi- bly because he was so small. Now all that you hold sway over is one Cobbg yet you seem to be very happy and contented. Here is a cob pipe. Keep it to remember those days that could have been and those that are. If you are ever subject to that great disease called Hlove-sickness, smoke this pipe, an immedi- ate cure may resultg if not, get heart tablets at once. From all I have heard, I concluded that you allexpeeted a proper gift from me-per- hapsabeautiful or costly one. I hope you THECR ESCENT H are not too much disappointed. I have given ones that I think will bring to your memory pleasant thoughts of those days gone hy- those happy days at old Ii. A. A Loxzo Paula AVERILL. The Qtfnifeh States, an Qshhuratur nf Qillnterzrafinitzzl qlfieare- f HEX representatives of the l'nited 5 77 States appear at international confer- ences and similar institutions with proposals tending towards universal peace, their propositions are supported by a century and a quarter of national experience. llowever, the American policy of international peace and ar- bitration is not based entirely upon the experi- ence of the past, but it is also a general char- acteristic of the continuing situation and char- acter of our national life. The European na- tions, which are today confronting one another in the most terrible and destructive wars that time has ever witnessed, have in the past sent their children to our shores. They, in a com- mon effort to escape the conflicts and oppres- sions of the old world, sought relief upon this continent. Endeavoring to profit by the in- telligence acquired through the past experience of the Mother country, they entered with energy and enthusiasm into the uphuilding ofa new nation based upon fundamentals that would assure peace and freedom to themselves and to posterity. So we to-day rightfully rejoice in the fruit of their efforts. Whatever the impression of the contem- porary nations may be regarding the peace sentiment of the I'nited States, it does not alter the spirit engendered. Our idea of in- ternational peace, secured by respect for law is not a fancied notion of little consequenceg but, on the contrary, has its root deep in the life and experience of our nation. Throughout our whole national experience we have not been engaged in a single foreign conflict that threatened or seriously endangered our national life. A golden era of peace and freedom has predominated, eliminating all burdens and anxieties imposed by the constant fear of attack from foreign powers. This happy and fortu- nate condition has been in a large measure due to our favorable continental position. Then, again, owing to the broad oceans that wash our shores, we live far removed from the hostile nations of the old world. Inspired by the blessings of constant peace, this nation has devoted its time and strength to the building of homes, and the development of industries. In contrast to the peaceful conditions undis- turbed by foreign wars which we have known for generations, the horrors of our civil war were deeply impressed upon our national con- science. And the memory of that terrible struggle has cast a deeper gloom upon our national life than could have been imposed by any foreign power. We realize from our own national develop- ment whatir the lifting of militarism would mean to the advance of the world. But while we stand for these proposals with firm reliance upon the strength of our national experience and notmerely on the passing enthusiasm of the moment, we must, in setting forth these ideals, realize that our position is entirely dif- ferent from that of the contemporary nations. We should not condemn the inferiority of their policies if they cannot immediately appreciate and adopt our point of view. Let us, for in- stance, consider the position of the European nations. They are crowded to-gether in a X J 12 THE CRESCENT small continent. They have to overcome the jealously and hatred developed from centuries of unf1'iendly 1'elations. Their st1'uggle for ex- istence is grim, viewed from the present Euro pean conditions. Yet we must make them realize, against their own troubled situation, that We are not indulging in an expensive sen- timentg but we are advancing a policy which our government adheres to consistently, and which they may look to for a solution of their own difficulties. The significance of our international peace policy is beginning to attract world-wide atten- tion. Many abroad are studying our national history, not mainly for the purpose of gaining an understanding of our national life, but for the lessons it contains in regard to the possi- bility of establishing international relations upon a peaceful and friendly basis. The world is beginning to understand and appreciate the beneficial results to be obtained through the application of our method of arbitration. Thus we are convincing the whole world and every individual nation that the proper and beneficial way to settle international difficulties is through recourse to legal arbitration. NVhen nations adopt and utilizet his method of correct- ing international differences, a code of interna- tional law will necessarily develop, correspond- ing to the vital needs of all nations, meanwhile lessening the causes of war. As long as this nation remains an advo- cator ofinternational peace, we must face the responsibilities thrust upon us in the common effort to unite the civilized world in peaceful and friendly relations. Our first duty is the as- surance of peace and safety to our own welfare. Then, as a benevolent benefactor to mankind, we cannot be of better service than to set the example of a mighty nation that enjoys the blessings of peaceg that seeks no other than the most peacful solution of international difficul- ties: and whose policies are not of a nature likely to provoke war with other nations, but aim directly at internaticnal unity. When we have convinced the world that this is true, and furthermore, have removed all grounds for un- founded suspicions that other nations might hold in regard to our attitude or tendency, we will have accomplished a step that will lead all nations before the threshold of universal peace. A vox IDXVIGHT FLAN mans. flllass Qgrnphecg- OMMEXCEMENT day wasdrawing near- G9 er, and l, the poor prophetess, was still in the dark in regard to the future of my classmates. What I was to do and say was in my thoughts continually. Fate how- ever became my friend in this perplexing trouble, for one day while looking over some daily papers, Isaw an advertisement that in- terested 'me greatly. It read as follows: Madame Loisel the French Fortune Teller, whose wonderful readings of the future are so widely known, is now in Boston. Send your name and the date of your birth and learn your future. i'There, I said to myself, Hthe very thing! I will try to get her to help me outf' lmmediately I seized my pen and wrote to Madame. Five days passedg I received no reply. But on the sixth day, hurrahl when the mail came, there was a large bulky letter for me. Hastily I tore it open. Now I was to be led from darkness to daylight. THE CRESCENT 13 First came Evan: Mix Evan Cobb, very dignified, sedate, known as a fine dancer. The latest dances seem to be his particular forte. He will travel far and near, getting all the new points, until he considers himself com- petant to give lessons. Then in Sitka, Alaska, he will havea dancing school which will be very profitable, for people will come many miles to see this master of dances teach some Alaskan belle the Elaine duck.' Next came Sall and Vance. Madame must possess wonderful powers, for this is what she wrote: Miss Hathaway, a tall, slim blonde, and Mr. Lowell, a short gentleman, with a dark, reddish mustache, will be mar- ried next summer, and own an Opera House in Winn, Maine. Both will take leading parts in a.ll the important productionsf' Why, I had never thought of linking them together, had you? But evidently sitting so near each other in school worked wonders. I was not much surprised to hear about Page, for he has done almost everything from second iiddling to staying after school for Eng- lish, and surely nothing worse can happen to one. HMI: Averill, a dapper little fellow, very careful ot' his personal appearance and the lan- guage he uses. He will travel with a circus for a while doing magic tricks and acrobatic stunts, until he has learned the trade well enough to start a circus of his own. By 1920, in any of the large cities, one will see this pla- card, UCome and see Mr. Alonzo Page Averill, the Wizard, perform his magical tricksg and Ladies get your Fortunes told. We will cer- tainly go and see Page do his stunts. Thefourth one was about Josie. Hltliss O'Roak, a sweet, peaceable young lady, will be a nurse and go to the Phillipine Islandsto help the Red Cross Society to blot out a plague. One of her patients will be an officer, who, during days of convalescence, will become much attached to his pretty nurse, and win from her a promise to behis companion through life. Quite a change from our tom boy Jos! Then Mike, the happy-go-lucky: Mn Treadwell, with laughing blue eyes, and golden hair, is very persistant, for when he likes a thing he sticks to it. He will be oHered the position of sexton at Trinity Church and will accept at once. What better chance can Mikie ask for than that of ringing a bell?- The work is easy and the quietness of a church ac- cords with his nature. As I read on, I wondered what good things Madame would say of Avon. I soon found out: 'iMr. Flanders, a dark, charming gentle- man will travel for a year or two, and during a tour in Asia, will become acquainted with a millionairels daughter, and marry her. They will live in Asia, and establish a missionary school theref' I wonder if Avon will keep the back seat. ' Friends, I wish to prepare you for the great change there is to be in Helen, whom we know as a very shy young lady. Here is what Madame says of her: i'Miss Trask, a tall, ang- ular woman, will be a dashing old maid, and' have a Pressing Establishment in Boston. All who wish to have their clothes well pressed and cleaned will be pleased with results, if they send them to Miss Helen J. Trask, Milk Street, Boston, Mass. That will suit Helen all right, for she has done much of this in the past two years. First it was Page's suits, and then Karl's. She pressed and pressed, until there was hardly anything left to press. Now hear about Lester, our president: HMI: Cobb, a very talented man, especially in making soups, which requires energy and brain power,will build a Cafe on Main Street in 14 THECRESCENT East Winn, and have the best of success as he will be his own chef. Let'sall patronizehim, for we will get our money's worth. Fate indeed, has been kind to me, for the French Fortune Teller has revealed to me the future of my nine classmates, all well settled in lifeg and thus I will leave them. LUDA GRACE HANscoM. Trans Qdpes I st Qltzrlizr. 'I ANY of us remember the story of Han- ' nibal's march through Spain and Gaul, Af! 7h across the lofty Alps into Italy. As long as there were no difficult passages, his soldiers marched along willinglyg but in order to get his army across the mountains, he was obliged to urge and encourage them almost con- tinually. Who, in the most favorable time of year, would attempt to climb these almost per- pendicular slopes-and least of all in the chill and snow? Yet Hannibal always borein mind his purpose, and thought, not of the difficulties he must overcome in reaching Italy, but of Italy itself. Encouraging his men by verbal pictures of the wonderful country, and explaining to them that the best known method of surmount- ing a diiiiculty was persistency, he kept them on the march, and almost before anyone was aware that the task was accomplished, they were standing on the top of the Alps, the great Acropolis of Italy. The Hannibal of the great war which meant independence to our country, was George Washington. Would we have held out against the English as long as we did without his advice? We all know the answer. There was no encouragement whatever in a winter like the one at Valley Forge, yet Washington seemed to be able to see a favorable outcome and he never despaired. When at last the turning point came, he did not lose his he td over the success, but still workecl for the nation's benefit. After being elected president, he set to work to pay off the war debt and better the conditions of the people. A little more than a century and a quarter has rolled by and our nation, like a wise Hannibal, is leading all other nations. Only a few centuries ago, it took weeks and weeks to carry messages across our conti- nent. Man after man devoted his entire time to an invention by which we might communi- cate more quickly with people thousands of miles away. Many years were spent in devis- ing the electric telegraph which at first extend- ed from Washington to Baltimore. How won- derful that seemed to people in those days! Now we not only send messages across the conti- nent. but also the oceans. We must not, how- ever, think this was easily accomplished. Mill- ions of dollars were spent, and often in vain, before encouraging results were obtained. An event in which we are all intensely in- terested is the opening of the Panama Canal. As early as 1520 much talk was made about connecting the Atlantic and Pacific, butnothing of any consequence was accomplished. But how eager the United States was to get posses- sion of the rights of excavation! Roosevelt seemed to see what could be done. In 1903, he purchased the rights, and immediately sent thousands of men and all kinds of modern ma- chinery which might hasten its completion. But, on account of the climate, it has been difficult to get laborers to go there. Iiandslides have often filled in a part recently excavated and the work must be performed a second time, perhaps only to be filled by another slide. In THE CRESCENT 15 spite of all these ditiiculties, the Canal will be opened during the Exposition this year. How many of us could ascertain from read- ing Milton's works that he was blind? It was only by sacrifices and privations that he was able to get his education and it seems that all his life he was handicapped in some way. He had literary inclinations but, because of his poverty, he could not devotemuch time to this. His domestic relations were very unpleasant. He worked almost day and night, and at the age of forty-four he lost his sight. lt was after this that he devoted all his time to literature. Even though handicapped with this burden- some misfortune, he dictated some of his most effective and most beautiful poetry to his daughters who were exceedingly unkind to him. Do we find any hint of discouragement in his poetry? iiAlthou5h not always cheerful, he was never melancholy. Who has not heard of Helen Keller who so miraculously surmounted the greatest of mis- fortunes? ls it not wonderful to say that al- though deaf, dumb, and blind, she has, with the help of Mrs. Macy, succeeded in taking a regular course in Radcliff College? XVhen Miss Keller was yet a child, Mrs. Macy taught her to converse with her hands. This was her me- thod of communication for many years but now she has learned to talk and goes around the country giving wonderful lectures. Of all the Americans who best represent Han nibal, what one is a better life for a model than that of Abraham Lincoln. Rearcd in the wilderness, living in poverty, and out of reach of the meagre schools the country then afford- ed, he grew into manhood. His mother taught him to read and he nursed a desire for books. He thought nothing of walking many miles to .U borrow a book,-for they were very scarce a- mong the poor people of those days,-and, after finishing his dayfs work, he would read by the fireplace until way into the night. In this way he acquired knowledge and was fast paving his way to fame. Because of his honesty he was called 'iHonest Abe, and it was the possession of this trait of character that lcd him to favor the slaves, who were being so cruelly treated at this time. He, as president of the United States, wisely led our country through the Civil War, which abolished slavery. This was a dark period for our nation, but Lincoln could foresee the results and made his plans accord- ingly. What man with right ideals could not raise himself to meet his ambitions? And how many, with much better opportunities than Lincoln had, are merely existing, and accom- plishing nothing worth while? We are all standing at the foot of high Alps, let us face our difficulties cheerfully, keeping in mind not our prevailing llardships, but the rewards that a1'e sure to come to the pcrsevering. HELEN JANE Tnask. 51112 Qllzws Qillllill. E IT remembered that we, the Senior class of Lee Academy, in the county of Penobscot, and state of Maine, being of sound mind and memory, and considering the uncertainty of this frail and transitory life, do therefore make, ordain, publish and declare this to be our last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former wills by us made. First.-To our teachers, who, by their un- tiring work and interest in our welfare, have helped in so many ways to make our school g 16 THE CRESCENT work not only pleasing but beneficial, we will and bequeath our highest praise and admiration Second.-To the trustees, who by their u- nited efforts have made our Academy course possible, we will and bequeath our respect and appreciation. Third.-To our parents, who have showed their greatest interest in our Academy training and who have deprived themselves of many things for our benefit, we willand bequeath our highest affection. Fourth.-To the Freshmen of said Lee Academy, knowing what that term signifies, we will and bequeath the green crepe paper-a part of our class colors-used in decorating the hall at this, our commencement. Fifth.-To the Sophomorcs, who are boast- ing of the biggest and best class in school, we will and bequeath one tube of Le Page's glue, in order that said class may be able to hold firm- ly to the masculine members of said class who are rapidly disappearing. In addition to said bequest, we will and bequeath the second edi- tion of Hawke, Luby and Tout-on's Algebra for post-graduate work, knowing the fondness of said class for this book. Sixth.-To the Juniors, who have been looking with anxious eyes at ourformer position in the Assembly room, we will and bequeath the first live seats in the Senior row, the re- maining section of said row to be reserved for all those of the opposite sex whom you, by your united efforts, are able to induce to join your lustrous class. Seventh.-To Mae Mildred Farrington , who since her arrival among us this year has broken all records for being tardy at said institution, we will and bequeath our large clock in the main room, together with two bottles of nitroglyee- rine and a stick of dynamite, with OU1' sincerest hopes that hereafter she may at least be present at the Friday morning exercises. Eight.-Having an unlimited supply of musical ability in our class,-especiallyin Page, Josie, etc..-we will and bequeath all said abil- ity tothe Sophomore boys, feeling that said boys are the only persons in school worthy of such a bequest. Ninth.-To the Freshmen boys, who in the past have worked diligently to gain places on the basket ball team, we will and bequeath ftllll'-SCVGI1tllS,7iZlllS being our share of said team,-to said Freshmen boys with the request that, if said Freshmen cannot fill those places, they be given to the players of the second Mod- el School team.

Jefferson once each day to recruit his failing health, we will and bequeath one large bow and one dozen ar- rows whicl1 will enable him to keep from being clawed ftllaudel by the lions fliyonsl whose abodes are in said mountain. lCleventh. 'l'o Minnie Alice Flanders, who this past year has taken so much interest in her English work,-especially the classics,'we will and bequeath all the remaining copies ofiilvan- hoe,'l feeling that she is the most trustworthy person upon whom to bestow such a bequest. Twelfth.--Because ofthe interest of some members of tl1is class in the other classes in school and because those interested will not be present hereafter to ca1'e for their interests, we will and bequeath Hazel Ardell Spencer to Robert Weatherbee, with the request that when he gets tuekered fTuckerl out, he spend all his leisure moments in caring for said bequest. Thirteenth,-'l'o Lillian Elsie Young, who THE CR ESCENT 17 lately has taken upon her shoulders the respon- sibility of training the lion lhyonl, which task was formerly done by Mildred Luella Cobb, we will and bequeath one small riding whip to be used in training said animal, together with the request that if she cannot manage said animal he shall, without delay, be returned to his for- mer trainer. Fourteenth. Last, but not least, of all the good qualities of which this class is the proud possessor, is its good looks, which quality you can plainly see, and, which we very generously will and bequeath to our student friend Stephen David Bcarce. Said bequest is to be shared equally with his side partner, Ethel Mabel Moran. In Testimony Whereof, We hereto set our hand and seal, and publish and decree this to be our last will and testament in the presence of the witnesses named below, this twenty- seventh day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and fifteen. Signed: Class of 1915. Signed, sealed, published and declared by the said Senior class as and for their last lVill and Testament -in the presence of us, who, at their request and in their presence and in the presence of each other, have subscribed our names as witnesses hereto. Henry Yau Loon, Little Miss Muff Old King Cole. et, ICARL Home TREADWELL. meriran 21 heals, NA'l'IOX'S history is really a story of W the constant struggle being waged between the true and false, the right and the wrong. As we follow this story from chapter to chapter, we are ever being re- minded the true and the right are gaining the ascendency and will ultimately conquer. Ancient nations rose in splendor only to fall again intooblivion because they were the result of mere material ambitions and desires for glory. A nation can never survive unless its whole outward development is the expression of an inner spirit, a nobler sentiment than a desire for material greatness. lt has pleased our European neighbors to say that while America has developed to her present standing, the true sense of duty and obligation has been obliterated, and that greed for riches and power has become her highest principle. America has sealed her fatel Ruin is inevitable! Now how shall we answer their argument? No one can deny the greatness of America. Her record is a miracle of practical progress. Her commerce, industry, and gen- eral prosperity are the envy of every nation on earth. But are we doomed, like Nineveh, to a decline into oblivion? ls the foundation of this country one which will readily crumble away for lack of truth, honesty, and love of beauty in its construction? ' History will answer. lVas it grced that caused the colonists to throw off the bonds of tyranny and stand forth in the glo1'y of their manhood? NVere the patriots of the North seeking comfort when they rose against the curse of slavery and proclaimed all men free and equal? Are not such organizations as the Red Cross Society, the Young Menls Christian Association, and the various temperance unions sutiicient proof that there are principles in this nation's life deeper than any avarice? These principles. are the real ground work of Ameri- can civilization. The one great battle cry which has sound- 18 THECRESCENT ed throughout this country since the days of settlement is 'iLiberty.'7 Independence was necessarily its outcome, NVith this nation's establishment man first came to know the meaning of real freedom. This principle of freedom spoke eloquently during the Civil XVar, and its inlluence has ever been growing until it has resulted in a patriotism and loyalty to law nothing less than wonderful. Nor is this all. America ranks near the head in the production of the statesman, poet, orator, and minister. The germ of true religion planted by our ancestors, has taken lirm root, insuring the continuance of this great and good wo1'k. And it is in this that Americals mis- sion licsg not in boasting of material accom- plishments, even though it be justifiable. Her duty is to put forth men and women whose lives are fashioned by ideals, pure, lofty and divine, whose greatest ambitions are to serve in the cause of Christianity, and in the improvement, moral and mental, of this, their nation. Americals aim has ever been to produce citi- zens of this type and witl1 this object always in view she cannot fall, but on the contrary, she will rise to a much higher plane of granduer, and live throughout all time, a monument erected to the memory of all that is right and good, and in accordance with the laws of God. It is the duty of each and every one of us who are destined to play a pa1't in this nation's life,-however small that part may be-to use our whole strength and intluence to maintain her present high standard of ideals, and to be ever watchful for an opportunity to improve upon those ideals. Meanwhile, let us not for- get what we owe to others. Those of ns who are now finishing Olll' school wo1'k are, perhaps the ones who need bear this most in mind. Unquestionably our greatest debt is the one we owe to you, dear parents, for it you who have sacrificed the most to make this event possible. lt is through your gentle loving care that we have been able to solve the most ditli- cult problems. As we go out into life and are thrown upon our own resources, the men.- ory of that care and encouragement will ever be an inspiration to us to put our whole strength into a. life which will be a credit to our country, and help rai-me the standard of her ideals. Teachers: As we take leave of you at this time, we cannot refrain from expressing our deep sense of obligation which rests upon us. We have received, under your direction, that training which forms a large part of our equip- ment for lil'e and we wish to thank you for your faithful endeavors to make that training a most profitable one. Classmates, we stand for the last time as students of hee Academy. Although we knew that this hour of farewell must come, we tried to place it far ahead. We were not ready for the parting, neither arc we ready now. We realize now, more than ever, how much we are to each other. The little things in our natures which might have kept us apart out in the world, we have overlooked, and, as time went by, we came in contact with the frank and generous side of each other's natm'e, drawing us closely together. Oh, classmates, our lives must be happy, cheery ones. We want to ear- ry sunshine into the world. Even now we must not be sad, but it is well that we have this meeting, the last look into each otherls faces as students of our dear, old sehool. The time has come, and as we wait this moment, from each heart let there be breathed a silent, a last iigood-byefl V l.lCS'l'ICR ALBERT Coen. OLIVE VIVA THURLOW.

Among the good times enjoyed by the teachers and students this year were the Corn Roast at Silver lialceg the trip to the Spring- field lfairg and the Skating Party in the fall term. The Senior Class gave a reception to the new teachers in the Gymnasium at the hegin- ning of the fall term. The hall was tastefully dem-orated with autumn leaves. The Seniors were assisted by the .lunior girls who acted as ushers. A musical program followed the reception. The evening proved a very enjoy- ahle one. Among the trustees who have visited the Academy are Messrs. G. H. Haskell, Parker Davis, G. W. Collin, A. R. Lowell, Will Han- son, H. L. Haskell and J. D. Murphy. We were very glad to See Mr. J. W. Tay- lor, State Inspector of Secondary Schools, who visited our school in the fall term. On November 26, 1914, the Senior Class repeated the play, Hllown hy the Sea,'7 in Car- roll. The students enjoyed the trip which was sueeessful in every way. THE CRESCENT 21 Mrs. T. S. Bridges entertained the Seniors at Miss Celia Cushman's cottage during the fall term. The many friends of Miss Rubie Ireland were very glad to welcome her back to Lee. Miss Ireland taught here in 19089 since then she has taught in Wilton, Maine. The Alumni Association gave an enter- tainment .July 30, consisting of a comedy, Aunt Susan Jones, and vocal and instrumen- tal music which was under the direction of Miss Harriet Scribner of Springfield. This was a decided success. On August 28, Miss Flora E. Baldwin, reader, gave a benefit recital. Miss Baldwin was assisted by musical talent of a high order. The proceeds were for the Gymnasium. Under the auspices of the Senior Class, coached by Mrs. T. S. Bridges, the play, Down by the Sea was presented on Thanks- giving Eve at the town hall. The parts were admirably assigned and taken. The play netted the Senior Class about fifty dollars. Many people have responded to an editorial in last year's CRESCENT, urging the towns- people and Alumni to visit school. Among the visitors were: J. D. Murphy, Mr. Taylor,State Inspector of Schools, Miss Eva Lowell, Miss Mina Booher, Mrs. Blaine Clemons, Miss Edith Weatherhee, Miss Etna Jones, Miss May Han- son, Miss Clara Weymouth, Miss Esther Lind- sey, Miss Marguerite Beach, Mrs. W. H. Averill, Miss Mabel Burke, Mr. Raleigh Boob- er, Mr. Frank Coffin, Mr. Fred Delano, Mr. Herbert Lasky, Mr. Eugene Currie, Mr. Perlie McLaughlin, Mrs. Effie Jones, Mrs Dora Whit- ten, Mr. Joseph Burke and Miss Mabel Brean. Leon Tuck, '07, who has been working in Montana for the last two years, has been in Lee this spring. Josie O'Roak, '15 and Luda. Hanscom, '15 have assisted the Misses Ireland and Barron at the Model School during the winter and spring terms. The Seniors celebrated Senior Night on New Years' Eve at the Dew Drop. A jolly time was reported. Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Rhoades entertained the Comet and Progressive Clubs at their home. Everyone had a good time. The students at the dormitory have taken pleasure in entertaining the various athletic teams that have been here this year. Mrs. Perkins who was astudent at Lee Academy many years ago, has been taking some of the Normal work in the Academy this spring. The Alumni Association, by giving several entertainmentsduring the year, was able to pa.y, September 1, 1914, the sum of 35142.00 on the Gymnasium. The members of the Senior Class will not soon forget the trip to H. A. C. with Mrs. Averill. Mrs. Maude True entertained the Seniors at her home on Thursday evening, April 1, 1915. Mrs. True isa delightful hostess, and everyone enjoyed a pleasant time. The many friends of Mr. E. R. Merrill, former principal of Lee Academy, were glad to welcome him in Lee, March 26, 1915. The crowning event of the year was the Progressive Art Party given by the assistant teachers to the Senior Class. Lessons were given in modeling, sculpture, portrait painting and literature, in which all proved etlieient, u Li but Mr. Averill took the cakef' lr l The mitlmllq for YL guoll lmslchzill tvzim in the spring of 1914 :It I..

The weather was perfect ancl the frienrls antl alumni of the institution gathered from all parts of the state to participate. Anyone who attends a reunion of Lee Academy will he convinced that no sehool in the State has a stronger holcl upon its alumni. They support it liberally with time and money and as a. result of zealous effort antl wise eon- seientious guidance it stancls as one ofthe hest and most etlieient titting schools in the State. Surely the State aicl whieh the institution re- ceives is not mis-spent hut is a wise appropri- tion, but returns a huntlrecl folfl in the moral and educational uplift of the people within the reaeh of the sehool influence. The program for the afternoon was as follows: Prayer, Rev. YV. H. Hhoarles, Lee. Selection, Frances Orchestra, Old Town. 30 THE CRESCENT Solo, Miss Grace Cummings, Millinocket. The night session was concluded with a Solo, Vinal Cobb, Lee. grand ball. Music was furnished by Frances' Solo, Burke Bradbury, Old Town. Orchestra. The dance broke up at 2.30 a. m., Speeches by Hon. NV. S. Knowlton of Monson, Prof. E. ll.. Verrill, president ol' the E. M. C. S. of Bucksport, and T. S. Bridges were made. The principal address of the afternoon was delivered by Gov. YV.T. Haines. Gov. Haines selected for his subject, the State of Maine and what it is doing for its Schools, Academies and Colleges, and in a very earnest manner, born of a thorough knowledge of the state schools and a sympathy for the cause engendered by his own early struggles for an education, he traced the growth of the public schools of our own state, their standing at the head of the schools of the United States forthe attendance per capita of the population, and attributed their success and prosperity to the fact that the schools had never been a political matter, but had always received aid and encouragement regardless of the party in control of the State affairs. The subject was very opportune and the treatment of it was admirable and the large audience were unusually pleased because the Governor,though right in the midst of a strenous compaign, gladly tu1'ned aside to participate in the reunion exercises and especially so because not hint of politics appeared in his speech of over an hour's length. The program for follows: Selection, Solo, Heading, S1 wlo, Address, the evening was as Frances' Orchestra. Miss Grace Cummings. Miss Flora Baldwin. Mrs. H. XV. lihoades. Dr. llobert J. Aley, president of U. of M. and all went home with pleasant anticipations of the next reunion. Refreshments and dinner were served by the ladies of the local alumnae. In the morn- ing a baseball game was played between Lee and Lincoln, resulting in a victory for the Lee team by a score of 10 to 4. T Among the out of town people besides Gov. Haines and Dr. Aley were Hon. W. S.KnoWl- ton, who acted as toast master. Mr. Knowlton has attended the reunions of the school for sev- eral years and no reunion would be complete without him, J. D. Murphy, a former very successful principal of the school, George W. Tombs of Lincoln, who introduced the Gover- Sherrard Rich of nor with a few felitcious remarks, Dr. of Winn, County treasurer Frank Bangor. i memories nf Cfflqilirlinnh. l am sitting today by my window, Looking out oler the prairie so wide, lVith my hands in my lap, folded idly, And my little pet cat by my side. In fancy T see a gray farmhouse, A little way back from the street: With the cherry trees white in the spring-time, With blossoms so dainty and sweet. The old crooked tree in the fence corner, With its apples so bitter and red, The birds that built nests in the orchard, And twittercd and chirped overhead. , The swale where we picked the iirst strawberries And played in the little brown brookg The bench we built under the ash tree Where we often sat reading a book. 1 I remember the hot sunny days of mid-summer, When our work we would hurriedly do, Then scamper away to the wood lot, And ramble the long hours through. THE CRESCENT 31 The camp in the edge of the pasture, And the big trees that grew by its wall, VVhere in summer we swung in the branches, And gathered beechnuts in the fall. The wide spreading boughs of the cedars, Where our play-house we carefully made, The poplars, the birches and maples, XVhere ue played hide and seek in the shade, The bright little glade near the North road, Where the cowslips and benjamins grew, The little priest-Jack-in-the-pulpit, Anemones and violets, too. The tall graceful ferns in the hollow, Where raspberries grew in thc hedge, And down in the heart of the woodland, NVhere the spring bubbled cool from the ledge. But, sadly I wake from my day-dream, And tur11 to my tasks with a sigh. For gone are the days of my childhood, And we're parted, my sisters and I. And the years as they've rolled swiftly onward, Have brought to us trouble and care, And time with his pitiless fingers Is threading with silver, our hair. But, I trust, when our work is all finished. And we're done with Life's sorrow and pain, That sometime, in spirit, welll wander, Hand in hand, through the woodland in Maine. Elidah Bartlett Muzzy. Elidah, No. Dakota, June 4, 1914. fllarnifml unit L.-'Hilarhi C5ras uf ein flgrleans, uuiszma, 1914- The Northerner visiting for the tirst time the great metropolis of the Southland, the HCrescent City, will find many things of in- terest and profitg but, doubtless, nothing will appeal to him more strongly, or hold him with a firmer grip than the great annual Carnival and Mardi Gras, a festival long celebrated in history and romance. lt is so gorgeous in ef- fect, so pretentious in scope, so unique in treat- ment and so magnificent in pageantry, that it is declared by critics and historians to surpass the barbaric splendor of pagan Rome, during her triumphal marches at the time of the Caesars. While these festivities were introduced into New Orleans from the Mother city, Paris, in about the year of 1837, the idea was borrowed from thc Eternal City as long ago as when it celebrated the sacrifices of l,upercalia with a great festival. And from 1837, to the present time, with few exceptions, New Orleans has not failed to present. annually this great specta- cle, thousands of people coming from various parts of the world to enjoy its beauty and ele- gance. Although other Southern cities have aspired to reproduce it, yet New Orleans con- tinues to reign supreme as the Festival City. To the average reader the terms, HCarni- val and i'Mardi Gras,7' are synonomous, yet there is a marked distinction, the word i'Car- nivaln coming from the Latin word came, flesh and wie, farewell, or farewell Hesh, and HMar- di Grasf' meaningin English, HFat Tuesday, which preceeds Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the Lenten season. S0 great are these festivals in their con- ception, that one is scarcely over before prep- arations are begun for the succeeding one. The several connnittees meet, subjects are chosen, compared and selected, not only from the realms of history and poetry, but from myth- ology and fairy lore as well. Plans for floats, costumes and all minor details, arc presented to the design committee, and, as soon as ac- cepted, the real work is begun. The Carnival organization consists of about two hundred and fifty club-men of thc highest social staudingg and these men spare no ex- pense in making everything as instructive, as beautiful, and as perfect as possible, some of tl1c parades costing from 520,000 to 530,000 9 32 THECRESCENT YVhile there are several organizations or Krewes, the leading ones are: the Knights of Momusg the Krewe of Proteus, the youngest, the Mystic Krewe of Conins, the oldest, and last, but by no means least, the Rex Organiza- tion or the King of all others, These organiza- tions have produced such subjects as HA Trip to Fairylandf' iiMother Goosels Tea Party, iiAladdin and the Wonderful Lamp, Drake's iiCulprit Fay, Scott's i'Talisrnan, iiChau- eer's Talesn and iiParadise Lost. The imag- ination of the poet, the genius of the artistg the skill of the sculptor, all are combined to produce these wonderful creations, , While the Carnival season properly begins twelve nights after Christmas, with a ball of the i'Twelfth Night Revellers, and Society continues to hold similiar affairs at stated times thereafter, the first public event of the Carnival of 1914 was given on the evening of February 19, six days before Ash Wednesday, by the Knights of Momus. It was entitled 'iOdds and Ends of the Nonsensical in' lliteraturegn and, covered a wide range. The following Monday, February 23, was Rex day, and early in the morning, the streets began to till with people, for it is a general holiday in the city. Those fortunate enough to have invitations, took the trip in a boat of the fleet which sailed down the Mississippi to welcome the King. Many of these boats belong to the United States navy, the battle-ship, Ohio, included. All of these were gayly decorated with the Kingis colors-green, orange and purple, while, liags and pennants of different nations presented a fairy spectacle. The bands played, the can- nons boomed, and the whistles shrieked, and soon Rex. the merry King of the Carnival, had arrived. i He was escorted by his knights and peers from the royal yacht, tWindom -'of the United States navyl, to the royal equipage, where accompanied by infantry, a battalion of regulars and naval troops, hc proceeded to the city hall to be formally welcomed by the mayor. There the keys of the city were presented to him and he moved on to hold a military review of great pomp. On the evening of the same day, the Krcwe of Proteus gave a big parade, the subject being i'Tale of the First Crusade,', or Hderusalem' Deliveredi'-a theme lofty in conception i and ennobling e in sentiment. It was given in a panorama of twenty tableaux, each of which was of great beauty and elegance. Mardi Gras day, or Fat Tuesday, was the climax of the Carnival season. A For miles along the line of march, every' available space was occupied, thousands and thousands of people thronged the streets, many masked and attired in fantastic dress, making merry with their antics. A hush fell upon the vast throng,-'iThe great Rex parade is ,coming at lastil was breathed through the audience, and the King sitting on a throne in his royal chariot, wearing a crown of dazzling jewels, and altogether kingly in at- tire, passed by. He was followed by a 'ear announcing the theme, iiThe Drama ofthe Year. This allegory, complete in detail and magnificent in scope, was a marvel of beauty. King Boreas, or the King of winter, led the fioatsg' then on through the months -of, spring, summer 2t11Cl2LUtl1,II1l'1, came these marvels of art. The parade iittingly ended' with the death of the Old Year and the birth ofthe New. ' It was a never to be forgotten spectacle to the 250,000 people beholdirrg it, and will doubtless betold to the young of coming generations. , Very fittingly, the Krewe of Comns, the oldest of the Carnival organizations, gave the THE IJOICNIITORY 1 HIC HYMNAFIVM THE CRESCENT 1-losing parade of the season, presenting HTales of Chant-er,7' each of the twenty floats rep1'e- senting some one faney of the old bard. The ear first from the King, for each organization has its own king and queen and royal attend- ents, bore the coat ofarms of the poet, Chaucer, its designs were eharaeterizatituns of former days of Merrie England. The last float, entit- led Truth,l' showed the gates of Eden, where Vna and St George met and overcame the last of their enemies, a scene familiar to every student of literature. The parade ended at the Opera House where the King and Queen cloth- ed in Cloth of gold and wearing magnificent jewels, presided over the big ball of New Or- lean's elite social set. At the Athaeneum at the same hour, was held the great Rex ball, where Beauty and Chivalry held sway till the stroke of the eloek proclaimed the arrival of the Lenten season, when earniyals, balls and all worldly things are relegated to the realms of the Past, and where irc, richer because of the memories they have given us, must leave them, saying farewell Carnival and Mardi Gras of 1914. Cordially and sincerely, Fiona E. B.xLnw1N. Che Zflanir nf fdltleir gBrez1ms- Half a century has passed since pioneers toiled over the 'iWillamette Valley Cascade Mountain Wagon Road, and entered Hthe land of their dreamsf' the broad, fertile, Willamette Valley, lying between the Cas- cades, and the Coast Mountain ranges. This valley stretches from the Columbia River on the north, in a southerly direction, approximately, one hundred and fifty-six miles. All about them grew a wealth of luxuriant vegetation. Immense trees lined the river banks, and as far as the eye could' see were trees, giants in themselves, to be retrieved before the plow eould touch the rich virgin soil. Many Ilomeseekers, realizing their goal had been reached, settled here along the banks of the Santiam, a tributary of the Willamette. Others pushed on down the tempting Valley. On the south fork of the Santiam, in the center of Linn County, in the central eastern edge of the famed Willamette Valley, about ninety miles from Portland, a small party of Homeseekers settled, where now is located the little eity of Lebanon. The same spirit of adventure that tempted the pioneers to cross the plains, and climb the rough mountains, enduring many hardships, did not terminate, on reaching 'fthe land of their dreams. From the day the first clear- ing was made and the log cabin built, pro- gression has been the watch-word and key- note in the development of Lebanon, and the whole Willamette Valley. Westward from the city stretches the level prairie land with its splendid farms. 'Ihe rich sandy loam varies in depth from four to eight feet: underlaid with a strata of gravel. The sub-irrigation is perfect, and un- der such favorable conditions, the land pro- duces immense returns when devoted to garden truck and berries. East and west begins the foot-hills and slopes of the Cascades, many of these are covered with large fir trees, and a lux- uriant undergrowth of scrub-oak, ferns, and forest foliage, giving the city a beautiful back- ground. From the top of these hills, one can getawonderful view of the valley, and the higher elevations of tl1c Cascades. 33' 34 THE CRESCENT. The foot-hills are well adapted for fruit raising. The soil is red shot, and underlaid with clay sub-soil. Practically a frostless eli- mate adds much to the success of the business. Many large orchards of apples, pears, peaches, prunes, cherries, nuts, ete., are in and around Lebanon. One peach orchard, within the city limits, covers a tract of thirty acres, and is owned and managed by Miss Helen Crawford, and each crate of peaches bears the following tCraw ford Brand .D YVhile all kinds of fruit grows larger, giv- ing a greater yield throughout the Valley, than in the eastern states, it is my opinion that apples and such other fruit as raised in the Pine Tree State, are superior in flavor and quality. I have heard many eastern people make the same statement. Ihave been informed by good authority that between seventy and one hundred acres of land is devoted to the raising of strawberries around Lebanong so successful have the growers been that Lebanon has gained the well earned sobriquet of Hthe Strawberry Center of the Valley. To stimulate, and increase the in- terest a Strawberry Festival is held annually in Lebanon, in which the local berries are placed in competition with those produced else- wherein the Valley. Thus far Lebanon has carried awayvthe honors for the entire Valley. Owing to the equable Climate two crops of strawberries can be raised tearly spring and late falll in and around Lebanon, consequently they bring a premium on the marlcet through- out the Valley and State. The average returns from an acre of strawberries, varies from S250 to 3300. The average price obtained for Ore- gon strawberries is from 31.00 to 83.00 per crate. A.
