PRINCIPAL RAYMOND W. FARNHAM Colby li. S.. University of Maine Summers HJ Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity Teacher ol' Driver liducation Adviser of Student Council .Nt Maltlisun High School from lkijli-ll!-l-l llhlfm-'ill FOREWORD lt is a rare privilege for a member of the faculty to have the opportunity to write an edi- torial which will appear in the annual student yearbook. I am indeed grateful for this oppor- tunity and extend my sincere appreciation to the editorial staff for this honor. This tenth anniversary issue of the Bulldog marks a decade in the progress of our annual yearbook and serves as a written and pictorial record of a little over 600 of our young people of this and neighboring communities. The yearbook was born ten years ago under the leadership of our former Principal Albert Pillsbury. lt has been nourished and strengthened by the successive student editorial groups under able and wise counseling by vari- ous members ot the faculty. lt is now a perma- nent part of our school life. and as each year passes. its value in imparting training and new educational experiences to boys and girls is im- measurable. 5 The success of each yearbook is primarily the responsibility of Seniors. lt records their achievements over a period of four years. Thus, to each Senior, it will be a treasure book of memories that brings nostalgic thoughts of bygone episodes. From 1939-1949 the personnel of this produc- tion, members of the faculty and student body, have sacrificed time and energy to achieve suc- cess. They met and conquered insurmountable barriers, which is remarkable considering the war years and the increasing production cost of yearbooks. This tenacity of purpose - of wanting to conquer what seems impossible - is a basic characteristic of our American Youth - and the youth of this community was not susceptible to despair because of challenge. I hope that the successive groups of students who comprise this school will recognize and accept the responsibility of editing a yearbook. fContinued on bottom of next pagel
