' Here is Ethel, our class president. She has proved herself faithful for four long years. Al- though she has taken the Normal Course, at times she thinks that the course in Domestic Science would have better fitted her for her future work. BI..-xNcm: B. BICCAFFERTY, LEE. E mann, Blanche has taken the Normal Course for four long years. Now it is a question in her mind whether it is better to teach, or to take Iiying lessons. Her highest ambition is to fly. We wonder why. BESSIE Eimasox, LEE. 55 ., . 73 nnrsx. Bessie is an unusuallv quiet girl. She hopes some day to become a great teacher. That is why she takes so much interest in her model lessons. If she only knew as much about teaching as she does about Mattamascontis she would be all right. HiXI.I.IIE A. Uunnm, LEE. HIIAIJM Hallie, a dignified Senior, has liven a great, help to the class.

At these Commencement exercises, which mark the close of our High School life, we, the class of 1919 of Lee Academy, extend to you all a cordial welcome. America is now passing through one of the most critical periods of her career. It is a time of grave significance for the coun- try and its people. The whole future of the nation depends upon the ultimate out- come of the adjustments that are now go- ing on. Many problems of great difficulty, complicated by the presence of many con- fusing factors, present themselves and it is only through the successful solution of these problems that America can achieve the destiny which we all hope will be ours. When America went to war in April, 1917, the President, it will be remembered, called upon the whole nation to mobilize for the national defense. The war from which We have so happily and victoriously emerged was not a war simply of armies and navies, military and naval operations were merely one phase of the problem which confronted the Whole population of all the countries. the beginning of the reverse movement- the movement back from extraordinary conditions of war to the normal conditions of peace. That movement has now been going on for several months and is still continuing. The vast organization which the nation constructed for the winning of the war is now being dismantled and torn down, and the peace establishment of the country is being restored. The present then 'is our period of re- construction. Industry which for many months produced only supplies of war is now furnishing supplies of peace. Many enterprises that practically ceased to exist during the war are now coming to life. The work of reconstruction of Wounded soldiers shows the vast strides that civiliz- ation has undergone during this war. Under the Vocational Rehabilitation Law, the Federal Board is required to give to those handicapped men who need and desire training before going into employ- ment so much education as the man may elect, provided of course that his claims are reasonable. While the soldier and sailor are taking their training they are to be supported by the Federal Board and the War Risk Insurance jointly.

VVQ were now the dignified Seniors Pauline Blanchard, Kenneth Ilanscom, and Hollis Jones did not return last Fall, thus leaving only eight out of a lfreshman class of nineteen. The members of our class, as a whole, possess very strong constitutions. We have almost frozen every winter, and each 0 f ' 1 ' -' s ' ' ne o us has experienced that disease, the 66 N Ll 77 u, so we think we are rugged enough to st ' ' and almost any climate or disease.

Une of the most prominent men in public life during the last half century was Theodore Roosevelt, a man known to all as a member of the New York Legislature, Commission, Rough Riders, the Vice President and the United States. He in city affairs but in the state and nation for a obably longer than any other American. If we we1'e obliged to look upon his life in public and pick out the most noteworthy deeds, we would find it very hard. l'nited States Civil Service Lieutenant-Colonel of the explorer, orator, the President of took part not only public all'airs of very long time, pr Roosevelt helped to organize the fam- ous Kouffh Riders g , a company of miners and lighters from the West, and he became their lieutenant. They went to Cuba and fought during the Spanish-American war and it was there that he won the title of Uolonel. His desire for hunting led him to go West, and there he got the material for the Series of books, The Winning of the West. He also made a trip to Africa and brought back with him an abundance of exciting adventures which formed the basis THE CRI bCLNT of ml ch that IS new Ill lldtlllill lxlstcm 111 1914 Roosevelt, um the leadex of an Lxplm lllg panty 111 South AIIIGTILLI, xxhuc he 1119 LOVQIGC1 m IIVGI xxhul named Reo lheodoxe 111 IHS 1101101 1410111 the 1211116 that hoosexelt 5144111 ated fxom college he had been xexty 13101111 nent 111 DO11t1LS At that tlnu LXLINUIIC was tcmllmlg about polltlcs, and, JG the edumted men wele the ones most duplx mtexested, Roosevelt entuul lhuc had been somethmg vexy p6Lll1ldl .xbout pulltlw and people thought tlmttlley had littlc QM 111 the gm Gllllllbllt, that they had lust mn- tml of it and would IIC-N91 Ftgnlbill It l ml1 r Rooseveltas leadelshlp, lmwuu, thu' hc.- 1 to feel that they 11 ld ruoxuul ' og pmxel He 131911111811 the lmigllu ig. fO1 both the nation .md thu imliviclunlf and although many dimgleed mth him very few ever came to the pointot al .xllon,,- in him. e Vil'vllQS wlicl 1 'as 1 the Um Q 1 lllllLllt eager to preach with fairness, lmncstfy und sincerity were the ones which were nccdoml along political lines. mu of pulltu nl questions than they did 119.11 the und uf Rmwgwlta s preeldeney and une u Ins gxmtut ckuls was that e dmngul the llllllll of the purple lll re ard to pulltlu ll hugrlnt of hm Ldreel he N 8 mmm ui un zxllltllidll than .mg othel man tlu mum 3 In unrx part of the world s mum xx ls know 1 .md looked up toas IQ mmt pleasing ln 'lhc energy, hablts, x us uf llXlll .mdu lll 5,1 ulllull Roosevelt h ad 'hmvul lla nt lu, ww an American n tu hisl IY aftlu wmlal wc would se om inml 1 nn nn with -1 llltlltdl mural and pn 1 ' nt w ulel mum up wlt-hd. umhnr. ul ill 1 Llll x urn ' w I xr his vuiu is nu lnugvrhe ' ml nlv mn muxxtrx th xt mourns .s vu i is 1 vuv n utiuu nn the wo , ' x nsuult slr ulcl bv hnnured for 118 .uluml .xml lhuzuter, as lt' was tl quallitim-.' whim-In vntitle him to be thou ht 4 'ua ax man with ax fullness rarely fuun in an wurd.

Looking up 1ent.a large, Zed as Henry ieeting him-21 pages of that 'ntly had his for he suggest- y henelit, the from him, but him the most l myself for 2111 tural, he chose THE CRESCENT. 9 Hallie for his lirst subject, and what mar- vels he portrayed! Hallie had taught in South Lincoln for a short time, but this did not satisfy her high ambition, she wanted something more exciting, so she had chosen for a profession that of a ballet dancer! She was surrounded by many admirers which was not surprising, for Hallie wa.s always noted for her great charm of personality. I was astonished to hear that she was a dancer for in spite of all our entreat-ies to join in our school dances, she had absolutely refused to be persuaded. By this time I wasiintensely interested. I was inspired with new curiosity concern- ing the rest of my classmates. I was im- patient to hear what Viola was doing. Well, he said, Viola is making excellent progress asa milliner. She has grown to be a stern old maid. Viola! Could I believe that of her, she who used to he so fond of sailors and soldiers! Alas! that she should settle down to such an unexciting life as this! My visitor said that while he was at a theatre in New York a few weeks before he had seen a beautifully dressed girl who took the leading part in one of the latest musical dramas. She had a voice that held the people spellbound. All New York was raving over this great Prima Donna. Of course it was Ella whom he saw. I always knew she had talent along this line, and I was not surprised that she had adopted this as her future vocation. Here Henry VIII paused. I hated to disturb him as I knew Ella's beauty had probably made him think of some of his numerous wives. However I at last ven- tured to ask about Bessie. Hejumped up, and, without any hesitation, explained that while making a tour through t-he region of Mattamoscontis, he saw av tall, stately girl with light hair and blue eyes, riding in a Buick automobile. I told him 7 that he need go no further for I could guess the rest. Why of course-Bessie, Verne, and a Buick-an ideal combination! My royal friend said that he had seen Harold not long before. He owned a large manufacturing establishment at Fall River where he was carrying on a rushing shoe business. When he saw him Harold was sitting at a large desk leisurely reading a book entitled, Various Ways of Oourting Girls. Now I never dreamed that of Harold! He always used to be so well in- 9 formed on that subject. It was very evi- dent that he had lost his tact acquired during his school days at L. A. Let us hope the shoe business will not suffer from this unusual side line. Where was Ethel? Any one half as smart as Henry VIII could have told -me about her. I learned from my prophetic, companion that she had taught in Skunk' Hill for a short time, but had finally de- cided it would be the better scheme to teach in Carroll where she would have a Page to ride in and a Bishop for a chauffeur. Here Henry closed his eyes and seemed to have a vision. He said he could see a fine residence near the garage on the mill stream. Here lived Pearle and Lester. Lester owned all the property on the stream and was getting rich quickly. I guess those long letters and frequent rides in that yellow wheeled car were for something more than mere amusement after all. Then my poor sleepy friend fell from his chair. I jumped up, and to my be- wilderment I found that I had been dream- ' ing. I will admit now, that Miss Utecht was right when she said our minds were far away when we studied our English History. .

One of the prob- lems the United States has to face is the state of our present school system. Never before has the need of trained men and women been greater and we must look to the schools to supply this demand. A proof of our neglect along this line is shown from the fact that 4,000,000 native-born American men and Women are unable to read and write. Another start- ling fact was discovered in the mobilizing of our forces, when it was found that 700,- 000 grown-up illiterates had become a part of the United States Army. It was necessary to close many schools during the past war because there were not enough teachers. Teachers do not re- ceive as much pay at teaching as at other lines of work, for this reason many leave teaching and t-ake up other professions. Thfe attractive salaries offered to clerical Workers sent hundreds of teachers flocking to Washington to 'do government work. Why should We not make teachers' salaries attractive also? In order to keep the schools ope11 many emigrants were hired to teach. These emigrants are quick to learn but in many cases they do not teach the English lan- guage at all, but instead they teach their native language. Is not this too bad for schools in the United States? - I School oliicials should he more careful in hiring teachers, as many who teach do so only for the money they receive or 130 prepare themselves for a better career in life. This certainly is not the kind of teachers that we want: we want well trained and capable teachers who are able to teach children as they should he taught, because these young people will in the future he the citizens of the locality in which they live, and their inlluence will depend largely upon their habits formed as students. Thinking men have concluded that at the base of our reconstruction we must have a national policy of education. There- fore, to overcome some of the evils in our present system, our federal government is about to make it possible for states to pro- vide for the training of rural teachers, these teachers to he chosen hy the l'nion and State Superintendents. An appropri- ation will be raised for improvements in Normal schools, and for industrial and vo- cational courses. Physical education is tu be provided for, and teachers must have at least two years College or Normal training before receiving a teacher's certilicate. President Wilson voiced the great aim of education when pleading for our schools during the war: To the end that no hoy or girl shall have less opportunity for education because of the war and that the nation may he strengthened as it can only he tihirpiigli the right education of all its peoplefl X' Let us wake up to the fact that we can all do our part in providing that all the young people of today have every advan- tage of the great- and loyal country in which they live.

Q Undergraduates if you wish to make a success of your school life and lay a solid fouizdation for your future, you must enter school with a determination to stay with your class until graduation. Of course there are times when it is necessary to be absent, but if you have an interest in your work-which is a great aid to success- there will be less black marks and your record will show a better standing. When a student stays out for two or three days- or perhaps weeks-and then goes back to school, he will find it hard to keep up with his class and make up the work he has lost. The result may be that he will get discour- aged and leave school. Every student when entering school should try to get,-established in a regular course. Do not drift along taking any studies which ,seem to come your way, but choose a course of study which will be of some benefit to you in your future life. Every organized school must have laws to regulate the work andmaintain order, so let us remember that ft-lie laws, of, our school are made for some '.'purpose,1which everyone should observe. '1'Useyou!1',.siclhoo1 building as a place for study and not mere- ly for amusement. - ' It is customary in most secondary schools to elect class officers during the Freshman year. If each classiwould begin to have class meetings during the first and second years, and prepare to meet the ex- penses of their last year, they would not have to work so hard when they are Seniors. In addition to this I think each class would show more school spirit. 1 . Debating and public speaking 1-are things which you ought to take an interest in. II am sure all the Juniors and Seniors found those short debates which were held in English class this term very interesting. Athletics have an important place in school life. H,ecreation puts the body in a good physical condition. This strengthens the mind and enables one to do better work. Basketball is our chief game in the winter. For this purpose we have a good gymnasium, which has been recently equipped with electric lights. Every stu- dent should endeavor to support the first team and encourage basketball as much as possible. When the first team goes out for practice the second team should be there to help. Songs and cheers should be learned by the whole school, these keep up the school spirit and encourage the players. There are many other words of advice that I might speak, but if you keep these suggestions in mind your school will be greatlv improved. Your school can be made more interesting by a united effort on the part of you st-udents. As every true American is loyal to the U. S. A., let us always show our loyalty to our Alma Mater, Lee Academy. H.u:oLn Hrcnsicv MERRILL, 1919 reseniaiinn nt Gifts. -1 The class parts were assigned, and I, poor unoffending victim, was declared the one to present the class with suitable gifts to serve as tokens of remembrance of past days at Lee Academy. Our school days were coming to a close, and the time was nearing when I should have to present my gifts to the class of 1919. Then came the question as to what I should give each one. I Hnally decided to send my order to New York. After do- ing this a great burden was lifted from my mind. In about a weekrI began to look for the gifts to come. The days Went by and I received no word from them. It was nearly time for graduation, what was I to 12 THE CRESCENT. do? A happy thought came to me. I 1'6- membered when a little child my grand- imother used to have what I called a magic work basketg almost everything I wanted was found there. I have brought it here to-night: and now I wonder if I can find some suitable gifts for you, dear classmates. I A dog! who ever thought there was anyone in this class who wanted a dog ? I cannot imagine for whom it is intended. Oh! I have. been observing Bessie lately and have found she is very fond of dogs. She seems to be so different from the rest of my classmates. I have always declared that she would not be an old maid, but now I am inclined to think that she will be. She hopes to become a great teacher some dayg this we hope is true. Bessie, as you do not have military protection, this dog will serve as a true friend and protect you through life. This must be something for Harold, our only boy. A book, Sibyll's Intluenee ! We all know that you are interested in that subject Harold, but I never knew there was a book on it until recently. It looks as though it might contain a great deal. I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as you enjoyed long rides in to Springheld last summer. Please take this little gift, read it carefully, it will cheer your lonely hours. - I am sure there are more than two gifts in this basket. What is t-his, a car, a Chevrolet!

No, plane. Who is there here who em, ,,l,,.,.,m. it must be an aero- apparatus like this? It must be Blancheg she has such high ambitions.

For safety take a trained aviator with youg 1 would suggest Harry. Good luck to you. Ethel seems to be the light ofour class in more ways than one. Surely there is something nice in here for her. Here is a string of beads. I do not believe she is a Catholic or has any tendency to be so, al' though she has been in the society of a bishop for some time: that may possibly have changed her. If there is anyone in this class that deserves a valuable gift, it is Ethel our president. If you do as good work in the future as you have at Lee Academy you will make your mark in this world all right. - Evidently there seems In be more than one of grandma's household pets in this basket. Here is a little coon kitten. What a nice gift for Hallief She is quite familiar with the name coon. as she addresses letters quite often In Private Coon. liver There.

In her national appli- cation of the American ideal of Hfair play and a square deal, she has held up to the world and to her own people a model that all might With credit excel. She has never in all her history, given her sons and daughters reason to be ashamed of her. 1 14 THE CRESCENT. She has never betrayed the blue of her llag. Such, then, are the meanings we may take from the red, white and blueg such are the lessons that Old Glory blazons to all the world. But our beloved red, white and blue is not intended to show our ideals only to other countries, it is fraught with deep signiiicance for all of us. It is not enough to know what the ilag stands for, we must try to prove ourselves deserv- ing of the privilege of living under such a glorious banner. Just as our heroes of war have been willing to make sacrifices for their great cause, we should prove that the red of the flag flows in our veins by sacri- ficing something of our own time and pleasure for the good of the community in which we live, we should try to make our community a better place in which to live just as America has made the world a better place in which to live: and, like America, we should do it unseliishishly and with loyal steadfastness of purpose. The meaning of our llag for each one of us, in short, is loyal, patriotic citizenship. Undergraduates-We leave Lee Academy and her honor to you. She desires that you become interested, and instru- mental in keeping her in the high position she now occupies. It is your privilege to participate in all school activities and to feel the responsibilities which belong to you as her students. That the different branches of your school life shall be suc- cessful is dependent upon you. May you in word and deed uphold the name of Lee Academy. Classmates-To-night we separate to go-we know not where, but to perform those several duties as our abilities permit. Wherever we go let us remember these words, An occasional defeat is a stepping stone to victory. Certainly we feel that these four years here have been well spent and we feel grateful for all that has been done for us. Yet when we have been graduated and are busy with other things, are we going to forget Lee Academy? It is a duty that we owe to our school not to forget her. That is one of the instances where loyalty , can be shown. Let us do everything possible to make Lee Academy one ofthe best schools in the state, a. school respected for its good trainingand upright- IICSS.

During the evening a musical program was presented after which delicious refreshments were served. This affair gave the teachers and new students a fine opportunity to become acquainted. The annual corn roast was held at the Weatherbee shore during the Fall term. The evening was spent in roasting corn, playing games and HSIllllttiI1gH faces. All reported a line time. A hare and hound chase took place last fall. The hares left the dormitory half an hour before the hounds. The hounds were successful in catching the hares in time for all to partake of a delicious supper at Mallet's cottage, Silver Lake. After supper games were played. This affair was enjoyed very much by the students as it was the first one they had ever had at school. f Miss Celia Cushman entertained the Victory Girls and Boys at the Dormitory. An oyster stew supper was served. Games were played in the reception room until a late hour. This was a very enjoyable occa- SIOII. The students were permitted to attend the reception for. the' soldiers and sailors, given at Elmwood Hall. Refreshments were served by the Victory Girls of Lee Academy. The Academy students furnished the program at the reception which the mem! bers of the Baptist church. gave to Mr. and Mrs. Perry. . Cn January 31, the Lee Academy boys went to Springfield to play basket ball. A large number of the students and town's people went with the boys to support the team. The dances given by the Seniors at the close of the fall and winter terms were successful.

On April 16, 1919, Mr. J. D. Murphy called at the school. A Sunday School class of Acafleiny girls was organized in the Baptist Church. Mrs. Perry was chosen as teacher.

My tirst transfer was t-o Portland, Ne., this being the base of the Fifth Section of the First Naval District, there being eight sec- tions in this district-, and the coast line of the United States as a whole being divided into sixteen districts, t-he number of sec- tions to a district depending somewhat upon the length of the district and the number of cities or important points to be guarded. The buildings of this base, like many others, were rented from private owners, though at some bases suitable buildings could not be obtained and had to be built. In the early days of the war the vessels att-ached to this base were mostly small craft- using gasoline for fuel, though occa- sionally coal-burning vessels called for fuel, which had to be bought of local deal- ers as well as other supplies. Later in the war mine-sweepers and sub-chasers were attached to the base, also scout boats cap- able of making a little better than twenty- two knots an hour. Sub-chasers and scout boats used gasoline for motive fuel while mine-sweepers used coal. A sub-chaser when running at full speed uses nearly a gallon of gasoline a minute. Many times during the year of 1918 word was received that a submarine was near that section and usually all boats except one of those that were at the base would immediately be sent out in the adjacent waters to search for it. It was hardly to be expected that the smaller boats could have successfully engaged a submarine, which with its heavier calibre guns would have had a de- cided advantage, though an alarm by wire- less would have brought ileet destroyers to the scene in a very short time and as is well known, the Germans had no desire to engage them, preferring to sink fishing vessels or some other equally defenseless crai't. All boats were supplied with depth- bombs, which accounted for many sub- marines during the war, also as many guns as their structure would allow. A recent statement gave two hundred and five as the total number sunk in various ways. Lookout stations were maintained on the most suitable points. Considerable excite- ment was caused at the base during the early part of February, 1918, by the report that on a certain date an attempt would be made simultaneously to blow up all vessels loading with supplies for overseas in all ports. For three nights all docks and vessels were searched and several men brought to the station but none of them proved to be Germans or German agents, much to the disappointment of the guards bringing them in. Among a body of men such as were stationed in most sections there were sure to be several musicians and we were never without an orchestra for the many dances and entertainments given at the base. These were coinfartably and conveniently held in the mess hall, as all tables and seats belonging to the mess gear were folded and put away except at meal time. Without exception I think we were fedthe best of any section in that district. At Thanksgiving and Xmas we certainly had a feast. Cur Chief Commissary Steward had formerly been a chef for many years. Cn the first iloor was located the recreation room, wash room, galley, general supply room, clothing and small stores room, armory, machinist's department and com- missary store besides the mess hall. The greater part of the building was only one story and the clothes-lines were on the roof over this part. A small part of the build- ing on the front was two stories and in that part were iocated all of the oiiices as well as the radio room, officers' wardroom and Chief Petty Ciiicersi quarters.

There were also hut-s on Boston Common maintained by dilferent organizations where there were plenty of good magazines and books, also a. Chance to play games or wi-ite letters. Dances were held nearly every week night at some place, the favorite place being at Paul Reverets Hall in Mechanic's Building, t-hough they were held at other places too numerous tn ment-ion. Tickets to the dances could be had for the asking at the Canteen, also, occasionally, to the Boston Theatre Sunday afternoon where the pro- gram consisted of an act- from each of several theatres. Wherever I have been a. great ellort- has been made to provide amusement for men in uniform for which I am very grateful and surely all others feel the same. My stay at the island was not of long duration, for in accordance with my re- quest I was released from active duty March 26th, 1919, after nearly twenty-three months naval service. Jos. W. BURKE, 'O8. 7 xtrarts nt Illettrrs Qititiritten by Herbert C. Laskey, Med. Dept. Co. A. 11th Machine Gun Battallion With the Army of Occupation, Rhifwlcmd, Germcmy, I was thinking tonight of the first real flirt I ever had with death. It was on a lovely afternoon in May as we were sailing through the Irish Sea, es- corted overhead by Dirigibles, ahead, be- side and astern by Submarine Ohasers. I was sitting up in a thing called the super- structure, thinking about the things of life in general, when a great ship, in the midst of our company of fourteen, gave three long blast-s on her siren and proceeded to do the Irish Tango. I-ler stern gun ilashed, a shell struck almost under the how of another vessel. Guns all around begun to roar. Destroyers turned towards us. A ilash! Bang! The very heavens seemed to open! Our gun had 'fired shells that tore up the water in one particular spot, then a mighty crash and a roar, the sea seemed to rise, a few black pieces rose from the wat-er. A Dirigible wirelessed down to us that we had sent a Submarine to the bottom of the sea. Thus I had my first taste of danger which afterward became a common occur- rence. Then beautiful England! Liverpool, Winchester, with its famous Cathedral. The docks at Southampton. A' band on the station platform playing American music. Then crossing the English channel, at night, lights out, boat so crowded that we stood up all night, Le Havre in the dawn, with our march through the old city and up the hill to the Brit-ish Oamp, where We took off our packs and proceeded t-o rest and have something to eat, then a march in the afternoon for our gas masks, losing our way, returning we marched six long, hot dusty miles out of our way, getting back to Camp at 7.30 p. ni. Very tired. More canned beef for supper and then tried to get a little sleep in an English tent. Inspection next day. Men dropping in ranks. Our fear of being put into the British army. Moving next day to the station we had our first experience with. French cars passing through Rouen, Dijon, and Paris. French troops rushing to the front. The awful Belleau Woods in June. 36 THE C RESCENT. Hun 1'a,ide1'S flying over in the 'niglli' lf' bomb Paris. The sound of tho uni l-1lll'l'l'Zl.ft guns. The Sudden bursting wfSlll'11lWl'l 1 the air. The distimt hum ui' 'tlw Hllll motors. Then turning over in the old blanket to snatull zz bit of Sleep. June 20th, ISHS.
