From out the void: a volume of verse
Get PDFPreface
This volume contains a more or less nomadic collection of verse, produced throughout a period of forty years in an otherwise active life. It represents selected subjects, several of which have never been offered for publication. Some have elicited favorable comment; others have been reprinted in books and magazines or preserved in the scrap books of friends and acquaintances. A few have been declaimed on various occasions. It is the sincere hope of the subscriber that the book may find a permanent place in the esteem of the reading public.

The Oracle, 1934
Get PDFForeword
In the past fifty years, progress has become increasingly important as the keynote of our civilization. And so it is that today our eyes are directed not toward the past with its great achievements, but toward the future with its far greater possibilities. Our progress, as seniors, has carried through high school, and as pictured in the cul before the senior division in this ORACLE, the road to success lies ahead. As one of the senior essays says, many will not reach the objective, but the beckoning goal is always in front of us.
During the four years of high school, our activities have played an important part in our school life. The modernistic assembly hall, shown on the page before the local section, may bring back remembrances of the activities we have carried on in school, and it will also suggest the more important role we will play in the future.
As we senior members of the ORACLE Board pass from the high school picture, we express the hope that the 1934 ORACLE has presented an all around view of school life. If we have succeeded in showing both the serious side and the light side of Bangor High School, we are satisfied that our time has been well-spent. To the ORACLE Board of 1935, who, we hope, have a great deal to live up to, we say this: may the modernistic drawing before the literary section be indicative of your writings next year. We hope that the lamp will shed light on all your journalistic problems and that you will remember -- Progress.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/bhs_yearbooks/1034/thumbnail.jp
