Sail Area 761 Displacement 17,500 Friendship Sloop Society We Say It In Friendship Welcome to the fifteenth annual homecoming of the Friendship Sloop PRESIDENT Society! Dr. Henry O. White (owner of Sarah Mead) The fifteenth is traditionally the crystal anniversary, and in recognition of this the Maine Legislature spent a good part of the spring debating VICE PRESIDENT Jack Cronin (owner of 1'annis) about returnable beer bottles. Our members are deeply moved. This program booklet gives you information about the sloops, the SECRETARY races, and related events. You will also find in it the names and purposes of Betty Roberts — Friendship, Maine the good folks who support our society with their paid announcements. Tell them you met them here. Be ye kind one to another! TREASURER Ernst Wiegleb (owner of Chrisxy) ASSISTANT TREASURER Carlton Simmons — Friendship. Maine HISTORIAN Carlton Simmons — Friendship, Maine HONORARY PRESIDENT Bernard MacKenzie (owner of Voyager) Commercialized? A gentleman who is perhaps correct expresses regret that sloop days have become "commercialized." Be informed, please, HONORARY MEMBERS that the Friendship Sloop Society is a non-profit corporation, and its only Howard Chapelle, Cyrus Hamlin, William Danforth, John Gould, interest in accumulating money is to swell the principal of the Beatrice Herald Jones, Albert Roberts, Betty Roberts, Lincoln Ridgeway Pendleton Memorial Scholarship Fund — to aid Friendship seniors in their educations. The Society transfers money from its working account to this fund each year. Otherwise, the only commercial projects of the Society are the gift shop which is clearly labeled as a scholarship benefit, 1975 Committees and the sale of hot peanuts. Peanut proceeds also go to the scholarship fund. Otherwise, the "commercial" aspects of Sloop Days are unofficial. This is neither to praise nor to blame, but simply to state the fact.
