We, then, the editors of this year's Stag, wish to dedicate our year­ book, not to the principles themselves, however, but to a modern, living embodiment of those principles. The "new" words of modern orators must bring a smile of satisfaction to the lips of Mrs. Elizabeth Eastman, secretary to our Dean, for Mrs. East­ man has been living the words and concepts of these speech-makers to the letter, all her life. Adequately occupied with her secretarial duties, Mrs. Eastman has never once passed off extra work that might make the sledding a little easier for others. She has catered to the whims and fancies of all with her warm smile of understanding. Regardless of any wiser, personal judgment derived from her vast store of wisdom, she did these "extras" with a thoroughness and dependability that is refreshing in these days rife with irresponsibility. As long as there are still people like Mrs. Eastman treading the beaten paths of this tired old earth ... breathing a sweeter breath into its soured and tired life . the editors of this yearbook happily forego the usual dedi­ cation to some fancy ideal in appreciation of the moral lesson learned and the preview into the naturally evolving America of Tomorrow.

But at Port­ Senior land Junior College the Senior Class marked the year for the College History. Only a few days before the national presidential election, P.J.C. held one of its own. No national political contest was ever Class more rabidly contested. Without cause the Senior Class split into two factions; older vet· erans and younger veterans ( for purposes of designation) and the Officers fight was carried on with all the political judo at hand ... no holds barred. The younger faction with more energy to expend formed itself HENRY P. LATINI into the «Committee For Better Student Representation" and im­ President mediately launched literary missles bordering on the defamatory and libelous. D own to the wire the ((Committee" fought: holding secret meetings to map new and better strategies, forming more feasible slates; and for the unsure, forming pacts with the other side. Diplo­ macy, duplicity; machine politics, theoretical politics; coalitions within factions, coalitions between factions; secret pacts, agreements, treaties, deals; mimeograph machines, oratory, the U. S. mails all saw service in this year's election of Senior Class officers at Portland Junior College. Paralleling the work of the Student Council, the Senior Class of Portland Junior College piled up its own share of permanent «firsts." First of all came the belief that Portland J unior College will some day receive its proper recognition. Then to back up that confidence came two other «firsts." The first «first" was the appointment of a badly needed committee to probe into the details of the class rings for which all students raised such a clamor. Chaired by Philip Kates, the committee composed of Mark Andrews, Ronald Smith, Richard Noyes, and H enry Latini not only selected a design and rings of a quality corresponding to the uniqueness of the College and Student Body, but arranged for pins as well. The next first in the annals of the College history was the p ro­ curement of a class gift by a committee of such seniors as J erry Howard, Committee Chairman, and his able assistants, Ray Leeman, Scott H oar, Ralph Roberts, Jed Bridges, and Larry Campbell. T he gift chosen by the class . a stuffed S tag's head for the Auditorium PETE BARRIS CEDRIC F. WILLIAMS FRANK]. NANOS ... is a credit to the members of the Class of '49.

  • Maine - GEER Initial Report
    Maine - GEER Initial Report 6/08/2020 Summary The State of Maine, through our Department of Education, Department of Economic and Community Development, and Department of Administrative and Financial Services – and with input from statewide education stakeholders - developed our plan for using the Governors’ Emergency Education Relief funds to ensure universal connectivity to the internet for all Maine students. Our process included meetings with educators, school leaders, superintendents, our statewide Student Cabinet to the DOE, where we discussed and prioritized the negative impacts from the coronavirus disruption to our education system. In every stakeholder focus group, the same grave concern rose to the top of the prioritized list: lack of connectivity for many students in our mostly rural state. While schools and teachers began offering remote learning to their students, there were pockets of students who were fully isolated from their educational programs due to lack of internet access. What we had considered to be a concerning inequity prior to the declaration of a state of emergency and the closing of school buildings to in-person instruction became more like a humanitarian crisis. The state also partnered with charitable organizations and community partners to support Maine’s SAUs and schools that were most significantly impacted by COVID-19 to continue to provide educational services to Maine students. Process for identifying and prioritized needs: The Maine Department of Education conducted a connectivity needs assessment through a series of four surveys that were issued to building principals, technology directors, superintendents, and Maine’s public-private school leaders statewide between March 16, 2020 and May 8, 2020.
