Smelt tents are lined up on frozen Patten Bay in Surry. The smelt tents were made of canvas stretched over a light framework of strapping, having a board floor with a long narrow slit about two or three feet long and ten inches wide across one side. A hole was cut in the ice the same size and through that opening the fisherman dropped six to eight worm baited lines.
Smelting ended in Surry in the 1960s.

Front cover of the program from the play "Candida" performed by a group of actors -some already acting on Broadway - who trained themselves with the hopes of eventually establishing a permanent repertory theatre in New York City. This group of actors were fortunate in obtaining the use of the rustic Surry Theatre in the summer of 1936 where they rehearsed and eventually prepared a season of four slected plays for the summer of 1937.

1952-09-15
Wilson G. Smille, M.D. writes to the State Commissioner of Education a letter describing the construction of a "fine" new public school and the erection of a new flagpole given in memory of Clifford Coggins. Mr. Coggins was a highly respected and beloved resident of the Newbury Neck and had passed away the previous winter.
In addition to the new flagpole the school was also given a handsome flag and a "simple decoration was placed on the top of the pole consisting of a weathervane showing the points of the compass and surmounted by a two masted schooner." Mr. Coggins' name is directly beneath the schooner.
Dr. Smillie informed the Commissioner of Education that one of Surry's citizens had protested the placement of the weathervane atop the flagpole and requested that he consider this matter.

Wilson G. Smillie, M.D. writes to Mr. Frank Whitney that he does not argue that Mr. Carter was "correct in stating that the U. S. Navy has a tradition that no decoration shall be placed on top of a flagpole except a ball". Dr. Smillie describes in detail the tradition of placing nothing atop the flagpole except the flag and that it is an "old" tradition and not a "law".
Dr. Smillie cites in his letter that he saw a school in Rye, New York with a flagpole that had a compass, a ball, an arrow and a spread eagle as adornments. He states that he has written to the Maine State Department of Education explaining the situation and requested a ruling on the matter of the weather vane.

Letter written by Claude L. Bonsey, President of the Surry School District responding to Mr. Harry G. Carter of Surry, Maine regarding the issue of a flag staff at the new elementary school on the North Bend Road. In a prior letter dated September 5, 1952 Mr. Carter expressed his dislike of the placement of a weathervane on the top of the flag staff at the new elementary school. Mr. Bonsey's letter to Mr. Carter accuses him of lacking education and intelligence to properly comprehend the facts. Mr. Bonsey indicates that Mr. Carter's lack of intelligence was not of his own making as opportunities to become educated when he was young were not present.

Photograph of the Cape Cod style home of Osmond Clark, a sea captain and Elizabeth Clark, a housekeeper which was located in the far eastern part of Surry. Two women in long black dresses and two small children posed for the photograph. Osmond sold the house to Curtis Clark in 1888.
The style of the house is a simple one. These houses were designed for easy construction and efficient heating, low ceilings and a central chimney kept rooms comfortable during cold winters in northern New England. The steep roof helped slough off the heavy snow and a large central chimney was linked to a fireplace in each room.
It was rare to see a Cape Cod style home with a porch or fancy embellishments. The Clark house was an exception. A summer kitchen was added to the left side of the home. Behind the woodpile is the roof top of the barn.
