THE BANGOR ASSOCIATION.
About ten years ago, through the efforts
of Mrs. Langdon 8. Chilcott, of Bangor,
and others, an association was formed in
that city. The meetings were held annu-
ally, about the middle OF October. Ow-
ing, no doubt, to the fact that large
number OF +. s. N. 8. graduates are living
in or near Bangor, these meetings are
largely attended. The following officers
were elected for 1907: President, DR.. jar
Wis Woods president, Edward 4.
Goodeil; secretary, Mrs. f. G. Chase;
treasurer, Miss Susie NJ. Bickford; execu-
tive committee, Mrs. L. s. Chilcott,
Mrs. Edward E. Goodell, Mrs. Bertha j..
Dolliver.
Twenty years ago few of the graduates
OF the normal school at Castine were iiv-
ing in Boston. These few loyal graduates
formed an association which now has en-
rolled great many names. The meet
ings OF this association are held annually
in November at some hotel in Boston.
The officers are: President, Frank E. Po-
land, Melrose, Mass; vice-president,
William L. Coggins, Rockland, Mass. !;

THE SANDY POINT Assoe'iAfioN'
Thirty-eight years ago the first class
was graduated from the Eastern state
normal school OF Castine. Six years later,
in 1875, through the Efforts OF Edward 5.
lngraham, OF the class OF 1911, ana many
others, the first encampment was neld,
and the Castine normal alumni associa'
ton became permanent organisation.
The names OF those early campers" are
held in grateful remembrance Ior from
their humble beginnings mas developed
that unique association which mas Just
closed its thirty-second annual encamp-
ment.
We say unique, Tor " Is the only schooi

Other schools have made attempts TO
organize encampments OF IKE nature, put
they have failed. Perhaps they lacked
that strong bond OF fellowship which
