Rounding Out a Century, 1852-1952: Bangor Savings Bank
Get PDFOne hundred successful years have gone by since that day in 1852 when eleven public-spirited Bangor citizens met together to incorporate the Bangor Savings Bank; 100 years of peace and war; of good times and bad. And down through these years the bank has followed the same slogan with which it began service to the community -- always keeping faith with the community as its needs grew.
Today the bank\u27s aims and purposes differ very little from those set forth in one of the earliest pass books of a century ago, namely :
To afford those who are desirous of saving their money the means of employing it to advantage without running the risk of losing it, as they are frequently exposed to do by lending it to individuals who either fail or defraud them. It is intended to encourage the industrious and prudent, and to induce those who have not hitherto been such, to lessen their unnecessary expenses, and to save and lay by something for a period of life when they will be less able to earn a support.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1204/thumbnail.jp

The Oracle, 1952
Get PDFForeword
After long and careful consideration of a suitable central theme for our yearbook, the Oracle Board has decided that the Bangor Ram has been too-long neglected. From the symbol of our athletic teams, the little fellow has now come into his own as our literary symbol.
On the following pages, his face will greet you often. He\u27s a cute, rolypoly guy, but it was not for that reason we chose him as our central figure. He represents something important to us, today\u27s youth. He is the symbol of strength, of pluck, and of sheer determination. He stands for the kind of do-or-die stubbornness, of gentle toughness that we will have to have to make a going concern of our world.
We hope this yearbook will measure up to the expectations of all, and that the little ram who cavorts between these covers will mean as much to you as he does to us.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/bhs_yearbooks/1015/thumbnail.jp
