10 THE AMETHYST Now, again, T-he old order changeth, yielding place to new. The beauti- ful building in Presumpscot Park is to be ready for occupancy in the fall: an auditorium with a seating capacity of sixteen hundred, a splendidly-equipped gymnasium, everything, in fact, that we could wish. We only want to be Zu? tlpat the old Deering spirit goes along with us to the new Deering High . c oo . ' 'Twas long years ago that our Deering Was weak and was little you knowg But having a purpose unveering, She stronger continued to grow. Now she is high and deserving, Respected and honored by all May we be as faithful, unswerving, And true to what duty may call. Chorus Deering, Deering, All unto thee we owe Deering revering, Blessings we bestow Fonder, ponder, Pledging thee anew! Whereier we wander, VVe love thee true. Altho' in these halls may be sounding The footsteps of others some day, And many dear friends here surrounding, May be in some land far away. Memory always will cherish The bright happy 'days that are pastg Devotion and love will not perish, But cling while Life's journey shall last.
