Foreword: Congregation Beth Israel, the oldest synagogue in the State of Maine, this year celebrates its 75th anniversary. This is the story of Beth Israel--of the men and women who shaped its character--of the influences which patterned its destiny--of the spirit which has brought it through crises in the past and which must be trusted to preserve it in the future. In the aggregate, this chronicle is a review of the Congregation's struggles, hopes and accomplishments. It is not meant to be a distinguished historical contribution nor a detailed chronological summary of the seventy-five years it covers. Instead, by selecting the more significant and human episodes in our growth, we hope to present a colorful pageant of the modest epic which is our history.

23 years of service--$45,000--82,000 hours--Into the hands of the community! Did You Know? That the League members work in many agencies and not just on League Projects? Here is a partial list of them ... The League Makes No Profit! Every dollar raised by the League in Bangor is given back to Bangor through help to agencies, donations to other civic organizations, and projects from which the City will benefit. Our own expenses are paid for completely by the annual dues of our League members. Trains--Members for Responsible Citizenship. A new member is trained to fulfill the object of the Junior League of Bangor--"to foster interest in its members in the social, economic, educational, cultural, and civic conditions of their community and to make efficient their volunteer service." She is required to take a provisional training course which is given by competent lay and professional leaders.

Preface: When first asked to write a record of the work of the Crusade during the twenty-two years of its existence, it seemed almost an impossibility, as I had only been connected with the organization for a few years and felt myself utterly incompetent to attempt it; but through the kindness of older members, especially the officers who had been connected with it from its first meeting, and the very excellent annual reports of former secretaries, I trust that I have been enabled to give to my readers a partial idea of the work accomplished by the temperance workers of our city and also of some of the obstacles encountered during that work. May the time speedily come when temperance will hold its proper place in the minds of all citizens having the good of the common wealth at heart, and when our fair city shall no longer be disgraced by over two hundred open rum shops, a stumbling block indeed to our fathers, husbands and sons.
We have entered upon the work of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with an earnest desire to alleviate their condition, by seeing that they are better fed, watered, and protected from the inclemency of the winter weather we have in this climate. The moans of the dumb animals in their helpless, miserable condition, have arisen to the ears of the Lord God of Hosts, and He has not been deaf to their appeals. He has put it into the hearts of good men and good women of our State, who use a part of their means and opportunities in the positions in which they are placed for the repeal of all abuses to animals.
The fifth anniversary of this Society dawns with brighter hopes and better auspices than any preceding year of its existence. The reason for this favorable aspect may be found in the fact that the incessant labor of your officers and members has wrought upon the public mind an awakening sense of duty toward the dumb animals, which has been lying dormant for years past, and would still have slept, but for the movement of a few of those restless spirits who are always seeking to do the greatest good to the greatest number.
Meeting at City Hall. To the Friends of the Union. The citizens of Bangor, one and all, who are opposed to the measures of the Northern Abolitionists, and who are desirous publicly, and in the language of Washington "indignantly" to "frown upon the first dawning of any attempt to alienate one portion of our country from the rest; or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together the various parts;" who hold to the preservation of our national compact, in its original spirit and purity, as a sacred and inviolable duty, and as the only ark of our political salvation;--who disclaiming for themselves, protest against the right of other citizens, of any one State, to interfere, directly or indirectly, in the domestic relations of the citizens of any other State; and who feel pledged by every obligation sacred to men of honor and freemen to support, at all hazards, that fundamental article in our sacred Constitution, that "the United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union, a Republican form of government; and shall protect each of them against invasion, and against domestic violence,"--are requested to meet at the City Hall, on Saturday evening, the 29th August, at 7 o'clock, to take into consideration the measures most proper to be adopted, to counteract the attempts now making by these individuals to create civil discord and to convey to our brethren of the South the most solemn assurance of the public reprobation of their proceedings, and the insignificance of their numbers, and their utter inability to produce any public action among the independent and intelligent citizens of Maine, inconsistent with the rights of the Southern States.
With this number, the present editors of the senior class finish their labor on the INDEX. As the senior class started this paper we hope that the next class will continue to keep it up, as they can scarcely realize what a great credit it will be to them. And as the older it grows, we hope it will increase in interest so that it may obtain a firm foothold as a model school paper. There is sufficient ability in the next senior class to make it a very pleasing paper. Wishing the paper good success, we now give over our official duties as editors of the INDEX to our successors, whom we congratulate as brother-editors.
In presenting this the first number of the INDEX, published by the pupils of the Bangor High School, we solicit the patronage of our friends and ask their co-operation, which will be essential to the success of our paper. The public has ever been ready to help us in all our undertakings, and we urge all our friends to subscribe for and advertise in our paper, which we will try hard to make instructive and entertaining. We will endeavor to bring the principal events which happen in school life, before the curious public, and thus help them remember their own school days, and let them see whether we have made any progress since the time they themselves were in the power of the school-master.
