Hope for H. H. S.
Football Team

1t is hoped that Hallowell High
school may have football team this
year. The pupils are eager for this
form of athletics and the faculty in
terested in its success, but the treas
ury of the athletic society is entirely
empty and if the sport is possible
this year the interest of the towns
people will have to show itself in
practical form 1t was decided Mon
day that certain number of let
ter" students should act as solicitors
to receive any financial aid the citi-
zens may see fit to give. They are
Katherine McGinn, Delphine An
drews, Frances Fuller. Alfredo Mas
ciadri, Francis Greeley, Won Weston,
Stanley Church, Milton Ballard, Ev-
erett Hinckley, George Hinckley and
belmont Luce.
Graduates of the school who have
played football are asked to aid in
another way. If any such have any
equipment, suits or anything useful
in that line, they are asked to give
or lend it to the school, The team
must be built up from the beginning,
both in equipment and personnel, as
there remains no one in the school
who has played the game in high
school. The last football team was in
the fall of 1919 under Principal Cof-
fin, and the last members of that
team graduated in June of this year.

The tragic death and sad return
of the mortal remains of Charles H.
Gray have deeply affected our whole
community. All who knew him liked
him and those who knew him init
mately loved him.
He was man whose kindly ma
ture attracted those with whom he
came in contact. He had few if any
enemies. not because he lacked in
dependence of thought, or failed to
take firm stand against any public
measure, for he always took his po-
sition fearlessly on that side which
appeared to him as right and the
influence he eXerted in this commu-
nifty was great when one recalls his
naturally retiring and even shy dis
position. He was without enemies
not because of lack of firmness or
because he was yielding in his views
to others but because he was singu-
larry free from envy or jealousy of
others successes and above all gener-
Gus in his treatment of those who
differed from him. In a quiet and
unostentatious way he was a gener-
Gus supporter of everything that
was for the good of the community.
This picture of Charles H. Gray is
known to a large part of our COM
munity and causes the sincere grief
over his 'losS which is manifest
throughout the city.
There was another side of this
gentle. and rather. shy man known
only to his intimate friends and boy
hood companions. With them his
shyness vanished and they saw one
who was a student of literature and
nature, a man possessed of quaint
wit and humor to marked degree,
and withal q lovable and loyal COM
rade. He read good books and pos
sessed of a retentive memory he
gave of his store of information to
those FRIENDSHIP loved poetry and
had at his command appropriate
quotations to emphasize his CONVEX
sation or thought Above all he
loved nature-truly it might be said
of his life exempt from public
haunt" found tongues in trees,
books in the running brooks, SER
mons in stones and good in every
thing" The death of such a man
is distinct loss to any community,
and the death of such a friend is a
loss that cannot be measured.
