As noted on this inscribed puck (part of an assortment of historical sports items in Alumni Gymnasium) the game was a 3\u20130 win for Bates. The account doesn’t say where the game was played, but perhaps it was on the college’s first official hockey rink, which would become Lake Andrews.<\/p>\n

<\/a>This inscribed puck (part of a collection of historical sports items in Alumni Gymnasium) reflects a 3\u20130 win for Bates hockey vs. a team representing the Cabot Mill in Brunswick. (Jay Burns\/Bates College)<\/p><\/div>\n
From the story, we know the surnames of the Cabots\u2019 starting lineup, and they reflect the French Canadian workforce that once dominated Maine’s mills: Normand, Lamarre, Turcotte, Turcotte, Turcotte, and Turcotte.<\/p>\n
(Four Turcottes? Sort of like the Hanson brothers from the movie Slap Shot.<\/em>)<\/p>\n The play was chippy. A few minutes after the Bates captain, Lewiston-born Almon Lane Jr., scored the first goal, \u201cthe pugnacious Al was crashed into the boards by one of the Turcottes, and flying fists were in evidence till they were sent from the ice for two minutes,\u201d reported the Student<\/em>, which noted that the quality of play by the third period was \u201chandicapped by the darkness.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A century ago, postal carrier George Faunce delivered all Bates mail to campus. He had the college mail route from 1891 to 1922, the last 17 as a mounted carrier driving this horse-drawn wagon.<\/p>\n When he retired, he\u2019d delivered 6,578,692 pieces of college mail, according to the March 1923 issue of the Bates Alumnus<\/em>, citing \u201ccollege mathematicians\u201d as the source.<\/p>\n George Faunce had the Bates mail route. (Muskie Archives and Special Collections Library)<\/p><\/div>\n \u201cGeorge\u2019s horse and wagon became as familiar and popular a visitor to the campus as George himself,\u201d said the Alumnus<\/em>. Faunce himself was \u201clikable, faithful, and devoted to his duties, which is appreciated by hundreds of Bates graduates.\u201d<\/p>\n Though Faunce\u2019s young and dashing successor chose a \u201cfashionable lizzie\u201d (Ford Model T) as his delivery vehicle, and while the new carrier might \u201cbring the mail to the college in short order…he doesn\u2019t fill George\u2019s place. Not yet.\u201d<\/p>\n Graduates of the Class of \u201916 \u2014 that\u2019s 1916 \u2014 could purchase a garnet- and gold-colored class pin. This one belonged to Bernice Hood Greenlaw \u201916.<\/p>\n An educator who raised a family in Norway, Maine, she served as president of the Maine Teachers Association.<\/p>\n
