In the early years, schools in Cape Elizabeth were one or two room district schools. The number of pupils in the schools varied because although many were often enrolled, attendance was uncertain. Teachers had anywhere from less than ten to more than seventy students in a classroom. After 1895, when the town separated from South Portland, there were four district schools in Cape Elizabeth: No. 1, Bowery Beach; No. 2, Spurwink; No. 3, Pond Cove; No. 4, Ridgeway. Pictured above is the Bowery Beach School around 1900. It was built before 1851 and closed in 1933. The school is now the home of the Cape Elizabeth Lions Club.

Until this publication, the loss of the British merchant ship "Three Friends" has been a missing entry in the catalog of Maine maritime disasters. And now, if not the ship, then at least its story resurfaces, more than 300 years after the sinking.

The reader is transported to a time before there were lighthouses blinking on our wild north Atlantic seaboard…a time when merchant vessels were, by necessity, nearly as well armed as warships…a time when the perils of a rockbound coast claimed many victims.

This is a great little "one-sessioner" and provides wonderful stimulation for a 21st century bibliophile's imagination…a must read for someone who is interested in maritime and/or local history.

Copies of "Shipwreck at Portland Point" are available for $10/each at the Cape Elizabeth Historical Preservation Society (Public Safety Building) on any Thursday morning between 9:00 AM and noon.

A new playground was recently unveiled at Cape Elizabeth Community Services. Located behind the high school, and open to the community, it is a result of a three-year fundraising project. In addition, funds were contributed to the project by the town as well as a grant from the Sprague Foundation. The playground was built to include many natural elements to en- courage the development of gross motor skills. Children can already be seen playing on the new playground, which is sure to be enjoyed for years to come.
