The cover lettering is unusually attrac-
tive. 1t contains IS pages, 8xl0 inches,

printer, Newell White of Thorndike.
There is large display of half and quar-
ter page advertisements, A full page is
devoted to a fine photo in uniform of
Chesley Hatch B. H. S., 1911, son of Mr..
and Mrs. George o. Hatch, then resi-
dents of Belfast. The dedication:
To all the Belfast High school Alumni
who are now in active service, fighting
for the cause of democracy and the well
! fare of the country; and to one in partic-
ular, to the late Chesley Hatch who is no
longer in the Great Conflict, but who, in
the words of the Chaplain of his reg-
ment to his bereaved parents, "Having
Joined England's forces from desire to
do his bit against the powers of darkness,
against social death and moral stagnation,
unfinchingly followed the same path of
duty and self-sacrifice that our Savior
Himself once trod, counting not his life
dear unto himself, but bravely making
the great. sacrifice and laying down his
life for what he held dearer than life it.
self-his own imperishable honor and the
safety of Others" we dedicate this issue
of The Mercury.
