Good VIII Farm Boy House Page

Probably no appointment of the leg
'slative winter was more worthy than
that of Michael Senegi who was made
House Page by Speaker Holley
This lad who is about Is years old
is a Good Will Farm boy and the
story of his choice for House Page Is
worth while. for 1t tells the sort OF
a heart beats in the Speakers breast
When convinced that he was going
to he the next speaker of the Maine
House of Representatives, Speaker
Holley decided that, regardless OF
political influence or desire. he would
do something to help some deserving
boy. He began looking around and
got in touch with the officials OF the
State Board of Charities and Correc-
lions. Did they know any deserving
boy who could be helped by having
the job of Page during the session!
They did. one Michael Senegi and they
assured Speaker Holley that 1t would
be real help to the boy.
HE is going to have it, said the
speaker and making the appointment
was one of his first official acts.

and desire OF her heart seemed to
be shared by host OF friends.
Homes were always ready to receive
her. for her life was full of cheerful
ness, hope, great ambitions and. high
est ideals for the future. Her valued
service and voice. of song were always
willingly rendered and have cheered
and comforted many other lives.
None knew her but to love her and
all are mourners. Yet there Is great
consolation in the fact that everything
was done that could be done
Not the slightest act was left I'M
performed that would add to her COM
fort or enjoyment. Not the humblest
prayer was left unexpressed for her
recovery. Since God had need OF her
he gave her courage and hope to the
very last and then her spirit was
borne peacefully away. During her
serious illness of six months she was
in South Portland at the home of her
cousin, Mrs. Bessie Carney Hayes,
where she was tenderly and thought
fully cared for. Hardly a week pas
sed without some friend or relative
making special effort to visit her and
bringing back word of her condition
to the anxious inquiring friends.
Christmas Day her brother and wife
Mr.. and Mrs. Mont Miller, whose eff
forts for her welfare have been I'M
firing, went to Portland and accom-
panied the body home.
This being the holiday season all
her young friends were home and
while it was to them the saddest va
cation that they had ever known yet,
they were glad to be able to render
loving service to the very last.
Memorial services were held at the
church on Wednesday afternoon con-
Quoted by Rev. T. b. HIATT. who spoke
words OF sympathy and comfort from
heart full of sadness for Mildred

pastoratc in this church.
He reminded the mourning friends
that no eulogy was necessary since
the abundance of beautiful fragrant
emblems were expressions of affection
which language cannot reach and the
church filled with friends, everyone

pathy for the bereaved and respect
FOR the departed more plainly than

She was affiliated with the Grange
Centennial Rebekah Lodge, Congrega-
tional Church and was an honorary
member of the Campfire Girls.
In all these organizations and in
every undertaking for betterment, she
will be greatly missed hut We shall
never forget her and the influence
of her pure, unsellish life will live
on. Deepest sympathy is extended
to her father, brothers and other re-
latives and to those whose fondes'

Colby News

The Shakespearean play Twelfth
Night was presented Thursday night
at the Opera House by the Women's
division of Colby College. The pro-
ceeds from the entertainment will go
to the fund being collected for
Women's Recreation Building and
Gymnasium which is to be erected as
soon as possible. The girls even
took the part of the men characters
in an astonishingly' fine manner. All
the parts were exceedingly well done
and showed evidence of the fine
coaching by Miss Extreme Flood the
well-known Shakespearean coach.
The house was filled almost to capa-
city and everyone went home well
pleased with the performance.
Joseph c. Smith of Skowhegan, a
Junior at Colby, was one of the Colby
Chess Team that recently went down
to Cambridge to play a match with
the Harvard Chess team. The Colby
team was defeated after almost four
hours play over the chess boards.
This was the first time that chess
team from any of the Maine Colleges
has taken an out of state trip.
With the close of the Christmas
holidays. the students returned to
Colby full of enthusiasum and have
plunged into the different activities Of
the college. Studies are receiving
more than their share of attention
because of the proximity OF the dread
ed mid-year examinations. The
Hockey Rink Is nearly in shape now
and the Hockey team is starting
practice. The community park draws
many tobogganists and a number OF
men are practicing for the Ski and
Snowshoe races to be held at the
Waterville Winter Carnival. The
editors of the various publications are
hard at work on their literary duties
and these trying out for the Debating
team are studying on their assign
ments.
The Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraterni-
ty held ist 18th annual convention
during the holiday season in Wash
ington, D. G.. Among thos who
attended from the Colby chapter were
three Skowhegan boys, Elliot F.

Mr.. Holley, who has been elect
ed the speaker of the House Is
now beginning his fourth term
as a member of the lower branch
of the Legislature. No mem
her of either House has given
more of time and effort to the ser
vice of the State than has the
new speaker. He has served on
the budget committee ever since
that BODY was created by Gov.
Miliken and has given to its du-
ties much of his time. The past
few months, Mr.. Holley has been
much occupied by his responsible
lities as a member of the Cole

mittee has put in a hard seasons
work and the new speaker has
been one of the busiest members.
During the time that he has been
MEMBER Ol the I1Ouoc, WI iio'
ley has served on the important
committee on financial affairs and
appropriations and no man In
Maine had a better knowledge OF
the business of the State than has
he.
On number of occasions he
has been called upon to preside
temporarily over the sessions OF
the House and thus has been able
to become somewhat familiar with
his new duties. Like Presid-
ent harrington. the North Arson
member comes to the speakers
chair with no strings tied to him.
He is controlled by no interests
and is responsible to none.
Never has Legislature begun
its session with more capable
presiding officers than the two
men who were elected today.

scented at the meeting OF the Histori-
cal Society held at the Library Friday
evening OF last week. Much has
been done to bring to light and record
the deeds done by early residents OF
the town and follow the effect OF their
do!ngs into later years. At the last
meeting an attempt was made to trace
the movements Of population in ana
out of Skowhegan and the surround
ing Kennebec Valley. Bearing on this
subject Miss Louise II. Coburn read
baper under the title OF Incoming
and Outgoing" In this recital was
made mention of all the nationalities

sons therefor were related.
