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.
