able to get to the schoolhouse, but

Through the courtesy of Pastor
Brookes and the trustees of the Con
gregational church, Prof. Bellatty
was able to get the use of the vestry
of this church in which to hold
classes until the high school building
is available. Unable to make the ar
rangements of previous years for the
use of Odd Fellows hall, and Han
cock hall being in the process OF
decoration for the high school gradu-
alton dance, the professor was up
against it for a place for the boys to
meet until Mr.. Brookes came to his
assistance. The boys and the IN
structors have enjoyed the first days
spent in classes here, and very much
appreciate the kindness of the pas
tor and the church.
Prof. Bellatty reports that things
are running smoothly and that every
one seems happy. The boys who nave
not been to Ellsworth before have
been well impressed, and declare that
they believe they are going to like II
very much. OF course, the Old
timers are glad to be here again
The bows are also making a very
favorable impression on the towns
people. Several have stopped the
professor to tell him what hne
crowd of boys he has brought with
him this year
One of our number, John }.
Shields. has returned to Boston for
surgical treatment, but expects to be
with us again before long.
Mrs. Bellatty is staying in Boston
with the children until their schools
close. when she will join Prof. Bel
latty and open their summer cottage
at Contention Cove. She will arrive
with the three children about June
Is.
