Theten dollar ($10.00) room reservation deposit is non-
refundable. Enrolled str.ldents who have financial difficulties
should acquaint the Principal with their problems. The In,sti-
tute reserves the right to exclude or dismiss any student at
any tjme of his attendance, conduct, or progress in studies is
regarded by the Administrati'on and Faculty as unsatisfactory.
New students are considered, as serving a pr,c,bationary period
until they establish the fact that they can fit satisfactorily
into the school program and organization.
STUDENT AID
While part-time work may be available, prospective stu-
dlents are urged to c,onsider their finances carefully before en'
rolling. Students can work their way in part, but it is dif-
ficult-both to succeed in school work and work long hours
evenings. The prudent person wjll have an adequate reserve
or a guarante'ed income to finance the larger part of the costs.
Part-Tinre work
The Institute may enr,ploy a limited number of studen'ts
for a variety of occupations in the operation and maintenance
of its physical plant. Applicants needing the benefit of ipart-
time employment may make applieation for such at the
Principal's office. References from these applications will aiso
be ma-cle to private firms and individuals in ttre Presque IsIe
area who contact the school for student help. The Maine State
Employment Office in Presque Isle further assists in the pro-
m,oition of student aid by con'tacting business and industrial
organizations in the area to acquaint them with the availabili-
ty of student workers.
RECREATION PR,OGRAM
The former officers club will be used as a canteen and re-
creation area. It is a beautifully finished and attractive are'a
which adds a great deal to the campus. Social events and stu-
Cent activities will be spons,ored by the student government.
T'he school has an attractive and fully furnished chapel which
will be availab,le for student use.
