Has the old Chebeague Field Day
spirit died out entirely, or is it merely
asleep temporarily The Field Day
celebrations reached their climax in
the summer of 1906, when enthusiasm
ran high all the first part of the sea
son and money flowed freely into the
treasury. With almost three hundred
dollars to spend, and an energetic com
mittee to push things along, the 1906
Field Day will go down into history
as the stellar event in the annals of
Chebeague. For the last two years,
interest has steadily waned, and il
is probable that by next season, Field
Day will be thing of the past. There
are many reasons why the Field Day
spirit has sunk into lethargetic obliv-
ion. In the first place the men who
were most jealous in former years in
working on the committee are for the
most part, summering elsewhere. Then
to-, the cottagers and the guests at
the different hotels are not ut all in
sympathy and in many cases are even
antagonistic to the idea Of the con
tinuance of the celebrations. The
Breeze has always been actively in
terested in Field Day and IL is with
deep regret that we note the passing
Of the custom which, perhaps more than
we realize, was instrumental in build
ing up the island and increasing its
popularity as summer resort.
