A. D. Board of Directors to choose the SEBEC RIVER LOT for the location of the new High School building in preference to the other six lots which. were considered. A great deal of thorough investigation by soil and building exper ts went into this decision. Having so arrived at the conclusion that the Sebec River Lot was the best available at the least expense and with no sewer­ age, water or transportation problems, the Board of Directors interviewed several architects before arriving at their choice of Alonzo Harriman Associates, Inc. of Auburn, Maine. This week we will bring to your attention the sketches and the floor plan for the building which has been designed to fit the lot chosen. We hope the information in these articles will be helpful to the members of the district. We feel that much of the critisism of the project so far has been due to lack of information and mis- understanding of the plans in progress. These two young ladie s drew quite a bit of attention when they When the plans for the building are finalized in the near future, attended the PCHS Science Fair last week wearing their "gran- they will be presented to the members of the District at a spec- ny dresses" (Bunker P hoto) ial meeting for discussion.

THE NAMESAKE OF THE ORDER It's been more than 650 years since Jacques DeMolay, the last Grand Master of the medieval Knights Templar, died as a mar­ tyr to truth and fidelity, but today the ideals for which he gave his life are being perpetuated by young men the world over who are members of the Order of DeMolay. Nearly three million youths that have been inducted into the Order since its fou!lding have added new lustre and meaning to DeMolay's name by dedicating themselves, as he did, to the vir­ tues of reverence, loyalty, and chivalry. Jacques DeMolay has provided a historic heritage for the youth organization. In the 14th. C-entury as the Knights Templars grew in might, prestige and wealth, and the popularity of the crusades declined, the Order incurred the jealousy and emnity of Phillip the Fair, King of France. Phillip ordered the arrest of DeMolay and the other Templars and had their properties and riches confiscated. Failing through torture to get DeMolay to reveal the identity of other leaders and the location of supposedly hidden treasures, Phillip had him burned at the stake in Paris when DeMo lay refused to denounce the Order.
