fltrefare IN this book we shall endeavor to paint a true picture of the past college year, not only by accurately recording all events that have taken place, but also by trying to dig deeper and portray the spirit that underlies all at this period in the history of our University. If you think that we have succeeded in accomplishing this, even in small measure, we shall feel that our time has been well spent. It is to the kind cooperation and spirit of helpfulness of many “Maine People” and members of the faculty of the University that we owe any degree of success that we may attain in our efforts. We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to all these real friends. We have received valuable help from the following members of the class of 1924 and recommend them to their class- mates for, HAZEN AVER EDWARD CUTTING CONRAD KENNISON BERNARD MAYO JOHN STEVENS JOHN DONOVAN BENTRY HUTCHINS Busittpss iRanaurr PHILIP ROLLINS RICHARD TRASK Ainuuialr fc ttor ELIZABETH HUNT 8

SUnuput nf tlip Irar AS this volume of the PRISM goes to press the University of Maine is about to celebrate in a fitting manner the end of a half century of growth and progress. This growth has not been spasmodic but steady and natural; each year has left Maine bigger and better, and we find that the past year has carried its full share of the work. Beginning where last year’s PRISM left off we will give a brief account of activities up to the time we go to press. The spring of 1921 found Maine in a position to look the athletic world pretty squarely in the bice. Coach Flack had a track team that put across a performance against Tufts, in a dual meet on Alumni Field, that made the other Maine college coaches a trifle shaky in their boots, and with the State meet appioaching all the odds were on the Blue, but the elements were with the heavier Bowdoin team which plowed through to victory on the mud covered Whittiei Field track. In baseball, Coach Monte Cross had rather a tough job to fill the many vacant places left by the graduates of the class of 1920, but put on a team that made a good showing. Junior Week and Commencement went eff with the usual success and the Alumni Day frolics were the best ever. The class of ’ll transferred scenes from the old Roman Forum in a manner that would do credit to Bill Hays himself. During the summer, followers of the newspapers realized that something was happening back in the University town, beside summer school (which incidentally was largely attended). The alumni had started things going by installing Hamp” Bryant ex T5 as graduate manager of athletics. With the resignations of Coaches “Jim” Baldwin and Monte Cross, search was made for men to fill the vacancies. “Jim” Brice was signed up for three years to fill Coach Baldwin’s position with our one and only “Pat” Hussey as assistant; W ilkie Clark, Maine '00, our first graduate coach, was chosen to tutor the 1922 baseball team. Coach Flack and Trainer “Bob” Schenkel completed the ath- letic staff of six. With the coming of September and the re-opening of college, Maine’s sons and daughters again flocked to the halls of learning. The M. C. A. under a full time secretary, Mr. Clark, gave the glad hand to the members of the class of 1925 while the old-timers began to hash over the “days when we were fresh- io
