Annual Report, Bangor, Maine: 1935
Get PDFA report submitted by the Public Works:
SNOW REMOVAL-Bangor was visited last January with the worst snowstorms in many years and snow removal costs for that month went over the $13,000 mark which made a heavy drain on the greatly reduced budget of this Department. However, streets and roads throughout the City were kept open to traffic and this achievement won much praise for Bangor. The public today expects an entirely different service from what satisfied them a few years ago and this cannot be given with inadequate or obsolete equipment.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/city_ban_report/1030/thumbnail.jp
The Oracle, 1935
Get PDFThe Oracle Board takes pleasure in printing in this number a history of Bangor High School from 1835-1935. The Centennial celebration of our high school is of special interest this year, coming at a time when the whole country is joining with the citizens of Boston in celebrating the three hundredth anniversary of the Boston Latin School, the establishment of which was the beginning of free education in this country.
While free secondary education existed in this country as early as 1635, it was not, however, until 1821 that a free high school offered anything but college preparatory subjects existed. Only fourteen years after the founding of the first free non-classical high school, the Bangor city high school came into being. Since its establishment, March 4, 1835, the high school has been in continuous operation and has turned out pupils who in every walk of life have reflected credit upon their alma mater.
The material used in the history was obtained form the city government records, Williams\u27 History of Penobscot County, and the Student\u27s Record, a newspaper published at B.H.S. in 1886.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/bhs_yearbooks/1033/thumbnail.jp
