Fifteen years ago, an enthusiastic administration joined forces with a young and eager faculty. Their job was to merge products of three different school environments successfully. Needless to say, they faced innumerable problems. It would sound nice to be able to say that after awhile the problems disappeared, but not very realistic. Many problems were solved, but there were always new ones arising, and they too, in time, will be solved because of a unified effort to maintain high standards. This, the pursuit of excellence, has remained their goal. Within these halls of learning, students have been educated in the arts and sciences, as well as the problems of everyday life. The curriculum changed and advanced through the years for a growing student body. The years have gone by quickly, and the original problems are now history. Orono has matured—its faculty, administration, and the students themselves. With the hard work of an ambitious administration, the coming years will be as successful and exciting as the past fifteen.
