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.
