New England Electric Railway Historical Society/Seashore Electric Railway: Special Report -- Boston Collection
Get PDFIn recent years , this Society has undertaken to gather a collection of electric railway equipment to illustrate the many developments that marked the rise and decline of this fabulous but short-lived industry. As a part of this program, we have acquired a group of cars from Boston\u27s Metropolitan Transit Authority representing an almost complete sequence of car types from a single large system. We had several Boston cars, and when it became clear that most of the remaining old equipment on the MTA would soon be retired, we undertook to preserve seven more cars, which, with those we already had, would form a living record of local streetcar evolution.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1117/thumbnail.jp

The Crusader: 1958
Get PDFCaught up as we are in a New World, we decided to face lift our Annual. This is no reflection on the past. The name Bapstonian, which identified our Annual for years, is an old and highly revered one. The substitution of The Crusader will undoubtedly cause some pain (and comment) from alumnae and alumni. We offer no apology, however -- though the Girls\u27 Department may not look kindly upon what looks like a steal of the name of the school paper -- for over the years the name The Crusaders has become synonymous with school activities to such an extent that it seemed logical to us to replace the name of our Annual. Strong agitation on this point in recent years crystallized us in this decision.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/jbhs_yearbooks/1011/thumbnail.jp
The Oracle, 1958
Get PDFForeword
... in the end the truth will conquer. -- John Wycliff
The staff of the 1958 Oracle has chosen as its theme the ancient lamp from which the Greek gods emitted the oracles that gave knowledge, understanding, and foresight to those who would consult them. These oracles were never-failing bearers of truth. Thus, Bangor High School and its faculty can be a lamp of truth which gives forth knowledge, understanding, and foresight, the three basic purposes of education, to those of us who seek to take advantage of a free education.
Knowledge, the scope of information without which we cannot progress as individuals or as a nation; understanding, the power to appreciate and comprehend the differences and likenesses of ourselves and others; and foresight, the ability to plan for the future in a way that will benefit our fellow men and ourselves -- these three qualities given by the ancient oracles can become ours through constant striving to use our education to its best advantage.
And so may we, the class of 1958, use the truths granted to us by the oracles of education to benefit our community and our nation in the best manner possible.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/bhs_yearbooks/1021/thumbnail.jp
Bangor\u27s Industrial Parks: City of Bangor, Maine, Planning Board and Industrial Development Department, 1958
Get PDFModern industrlal management wants to avoid the inherent dlfflcultles of city locations, parking, crowding and lack of growth space, and stilI maintain the advantages of a ready labor market and of transportation that the city provides. Space for one story plants, off street parking and loading, and future expansion are relatively impossible to find in any decent sized city. The large city is by its very nature a crowded, densely populated area. Only a planned industrial park site can offer management what it wants.
When he chooses to move into an industrial park an industrial manager can be assured that he has the needed facilities and the needed zoning protection to operate efficiently. Most important of all the industrial park offers the industrialist elbow room and freedom of expansion within a planned industrial community.
The advantages are not aiI on the side of the industrialist. By developing a large piece of land, Bangor can segregate industrial activity into one location which can be better control led and serviced. By controlllng the area through zoning and restrictive covenants better and more stable firms can be attracted to the area with a beneficial result on the economic base of the community. Control of architectural and structural design can result in an aesthetlcally pleasing industrial park which would be an asset to the City of Bangor.
Includes several maps and photographs.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/city_bur_book/1007/thumbnail.jp
