these exercises were in charge OF the
members Of the Senior class who were
seated on the platform. The class en-
blem, bearing the class motto "Gluck
Auf," was unveiled as Walter Joseph
Ryan, president Of the class, presented

BY 1890 all Of the members Of the
Good Will community had assembled
near the Library to break ground for
the Administration building. Promi-

here that it almost amounts to a rit-

Up To Thee" after which prayer was
offered by Rev. T. H. Wilson Of Show
hogan. The audience sang again How
Firm a Foundation" r. A. Jordan of
Bangor, from the beginning trustee
of the Good Will Home Association,
read that part of Psalm 81 which has
been read at every exercise of this
character here. Mr.. Hinckley then
spoke briefly Of the part that Bangor
men have played in the development Of
Good Will and introduced Rev. Charles
A. Moore, pastor of All Souls church,
Bangor, who gave the address of the
morning. Mr.. Moore spoke of charac-
ter building and emphasized three
things: Turn the first sod; get a
good foundations; complete the struct-
ure." After singing America" tele-
gram was read from A. l.. Prescott Of
New York, the donor Of the building,
asking Mr.. Hinckley to act as his rep
resentative and turn the first turf.
These instructions were carried out,
while hearty cheers for Mr.. Prescott
echoed and reechoed across the valley.
twenty-five former Good Will boys
and girls and other guests turned sods
and were loudly and enthusiastically
cheered as they did SO, and just before
the audience was dismissed it was an
nOunced that the contractor would on
Thursday begin actual work.
Wednesday was Alumni day and for
mer Good Will boys and girls from far
and near have returned in greater
numbers than ever before.
