How well we can recall those first few days when some upper-classman, feigning a dignified aspect, tried to assure us that Room 68 was on the third floor of the annex. But we were not as green as we appeared, we paid no attention to treacherous upperclassmen. To start our four years right we immediately elected officers to preside over the largest and, as any member will tell you, the best class that has ever entered Old Deering. The officers were chosen as follows: Presi- dent, Richard Johnson, Vice-President, Mary Smallg Secretary, Ruth Kennedy: Treasurer, Arnold Boyceg Executive Committee: Helen Spear, Yirginia Knight, and Kenneth Macomber. VVe shall all remember that all-important affair in the life of a fresh- man, the Freshman Reception. How small we felt when ushered by some mighty senior to the receiving line, consisting of several members of the faculty. The sophomores had been waiting for some opportunity to avenge the hot reception which they had been given, but several blue coated arms of the law prevented any attacks on our greenies. Wheiiever a school activity was under way you may be assured that the class of '26 was not far away. Many took part in winter sportsg others formed an orchestra-a thing which had never before been at- tempted by a freshman class. We also had a basketball and baseball team of our own. Then there were the many clubs and the Debating Association. VVe again showed our initiative by giving a play during freshman year. This was another unprecedented thing for a freshman class to do. The play was entitled Sally Ann Finds Herself and the cast was as follows: Sally Ann, Ruth Hawbolt: Miss Foster, Elsie Emeryg Vivian, Ruth Woodill: Esther, Dorothy Jones, Frances, Dorothy Dean, Marie, Marion Simpson: Tom, Manley Littlefieldg Bill, Russell Bakerg Ted, Lincoln Hallg jack, VVeston Ranking Business Manager, Fred Scribnerg Property Manager, Arnold Boyce, Coach, Miss VVoodbury. How proud we felt when we re-entered school in September, 1923, as sophomores. Our first duty was to elect officers, who were: President, Frances Thompslong Vice-President, Edward Huntg Secretary, Berta Rogersg Treasurer, Berta Rogersg Executive Board: Edward Hunt, Norma Grover and Ernest Wallace. Mr. Quimby found much material in our class for debating work. and several members made varsity teams. Among these were Marian Gordon in the Bates League, and Frances Dow and Fred Scribner in the Bowdoin 12 THE AMETHYST League. We also had a debating team of our own. consisting of Frances Thompson, Dorothy Dean. and Manley Littlefield, with Burton McLaugh- lin as alternate. At the Teachers' Convention in 1923 there was a Latin Play given by the juniors and sophomores C mostly sophomoresfl. It was repeated in Crosby Hall at a later date and proved a huge success. Of all the assemblies given during the year by the different classes we agree that the Sophomore Assembly was the best. Much of our talent was displayed: Hill Hart. our cartoonist, drew comic pictures, among them a very good sketch of our principalg Frances Dow gave a delightful read- ing: and our president led the assembly in a fine manner. Our class lost none of its spirit during its second year. Several were in the musical groups. The varsity and class athletic teams also contained many of our members. Can't you imagine how important we must have felt when we became juniors? There was but one thing to mar our dignity. We had as much trouble Finding our way about the school as the little frosh. The reason was, of course, the new school-and what a beautiful new school! It has every convenience imaginable, and many luxuries never before enjoyed. For officers in our junior year we elected: President, John Howlandg Vice-President, Helen Gunderson: Secretary, Norma Groverg Treasurer, Arnold Boyce. I Our members took a great interest in music when they became juniors. Thirty girls joined the Girls' Glee Club, and many of the weaker sex joined the lloys' Glee Club. And the orchestra-did you notice how good it was last year? That's because there were ten juniors on its roll. The girls had an invincible varsity basketball team, winning the state championship, and many honors for Deering. Among the shining stars were four juniors, Frances Johnson, Helen Gunderson, Norma Grover, and Bernice Perkins. The junior boys also took great interest in sports, and many won places on varsity squads and teams. It was this year that track was re- vived, and john Stanley, Walter Riley, joseph McCarty, Elliott Marshall. and Warren Blocklinger all shone on the boards. The juniors who won their letters on the gridiron were: Kenneth MacDuffie, Harold Alward, Stanley Frost. Arnold Boyce, Arthur Baker, and Walter Riley. This was Deering's first season at hockey, and Stanley Frost, Arthur Baker, and John Howland brought glory to the class of '26 in the ice game. We were not lacking in forensic fields, for there were many distin- guished debaters from the ranks of the junior class, among them Dorothy Dean, Ruth VVoodill, Manley Littlefield, XVeston Rankin, and Fred Scribner. THE AMETHYST 13 In September, 1925, we assumed the sacred title of seniors. We now walked with our heads in the clouds and now, more than ever, we realized our duty of maintaining the high standard of Deering, and living up to the ideals of the Purple and VVhite. NVe now assumed more and more responsibilities in the activities of the school, starring in debating, athletics, clubs and musical organizations. Under our management the Brvvria has improved in many ways. The material has been better than ever and the departments have all been enlarged. - Despite the rush of studies and senior activities our boys and girls continued to shine in sports. Our football letter men were: Captain Lopez, Captain-Elect Riley. Frost, Blocklinger, Scribner, Jacobsen, Chap- man, llaker, and Marshall. Baker and Frost also won their letter in hockey, while Morang, Alward. and Howland have D's for basketball. Kenneth Macomber. Earle Macomber, XVarren Blocklinger, and Edward Norris got their track letters, and Don Hodgdon represented us in cross- country. Dorothy Dean captured first prize in the annual Prize Speaking Con- test, and Ruth Kennedy was second. Andy Boyce and Alice Bagley de- serve high honorable mention. just before May vacation Mr. XVing announced the elections to the National Honor Society, the highest honor which can be conferred on a senior. There were twenty-two elected, and their keys were presented at the Senior Assembly. The members are: Dorothy Dean, Frances john- son, Tlerta Rogers, Frances Thompson, Ruth Kennedy, Bernice Perkins, Dorothy Haskell, Ruth NVoodill, Helen Gunderson, Fred Scribner, Arnold lloyce, Manley Littlefield, William Langzettel, Weston Rankin, Elliott Marshall, Alice Bagley. Philip Chapman, Arthur Baker, John Stanley, Kenneth Macomber. Arthur Peterson, Almon Morang. Warren lllocklinger was president of the Washington Club, and the party, numbering nearly one hundred, made the trip during May vacation, headed by Mr. Emmons and Miss Deasy. In addition to pupils many parents and several teachers were in the party. And now comes the end of a glorious four years. Materially we separate now, but we will never be separated in spirit. No matter how long we live, we shall always feel the desire in our hearts, although we may not shout it aloud. to give three cheers for the class of '26.

RAYMOND BABISIDGE Four years ago a quiet boy from liott's Island. a small island off the coast of Maine near Bar Harbor, Came all the way to Port- land in order to attend Deering High School and to prepare for college. At Hrst he was inconspicuous, but it was not long before his quiet, unassuming ways began to make friends for him. Ray is not one of our silver tongued orators, athletes, nor hrilliant stu- dents, but his quiet ways have made him known and well liked hy the entire class. ALICE H. BAGLEY Once upon a time there came to the hip' school at Deering a little girl, and her name. my dears. was Alice. She was so tiny and in-sig-nif-i-cant that every time she went into a great big classroom she would have to tell the teacher, for they eouldn't see her at all. Never mind, Alice. don't pay any attention to this bahy talk. For we know. as well as anyone. that you have outgrown anything like that, even if you do tell Bear Stories at Prize: Speaking contests.

PAUL BUULOS You've got a line ambition, Paul! and if you study like you have in high school, you'll get there all right. Paul is one of the greatest students of the class, always going from some- where to somewhere else in an awful hurry, He always has that frenzied look on his face of one who has a day's work to do and only an hour in which to do it.

CENTER Winnie is that tall, stocky fellow you sce entering sehool every morning with a news' paper in his pocket. He seems to have a :nania for news, because in the home-room period, just before the tirst period, you can always see Vt'innie reading his paper. Every- one else is taking one last look at his studies before the hell rings, but Venter spurns tht- books for the news of the world. NYlicncver you sec him in the morning without his daily nt-ws, you may he sure that something unusual has happened. liYlfRlfTT FOSTER CHAPMAN t'happie is the ultra-collegiate lad wit'i the curly golden locks. Any girl in the school would give hor right hand to possess them. but to date only one fair lady seems to have come anywhere near that, and she possesses the owner rather than the locks. t'liaupiu always seems carefree and gay: he apparently has that faculty, possessed by many. of romplctely ignoring the more sordid details of life, especially such things as studies. Ori' H YS 'l I f. . is ll THE .flZlIETHI ST HENRY PHILIP CHAPMAN, IR. Phil has been with us but one year, and it can be easily seen hy his record what he has accomplished in that short time. He has heen what more of us ought to be, active in every branch of school life. In fact, we will go bond that he is an ideal type of senior. Phil wants to he a lawyer, and if you have ever heard him prove solid geometry proposi- tion, which he does with the utmost ease and conviction. you will immediately become of the opinion that he was cut out for nothing else hut law. I. CLINTON CHRISTIAN 4 Every afternoon when Clint comes hack to make np work, he always has his saxaphone strap hanging around his neck. He is very well advanced in the art of music, and it has been said that he can play a large assortment 'Tlint' lilies to spend a warm of instruments. summer's afternoon on a cool porch with his beloved Like and an audience. Also, he is a very studious young man in mechanical draw- ing. where he is doing: advanced work pertain- ing to large huildings. E. MICREDITH CHUTE Med is one of the metnlmers of our hand. VVhen the hand received its new uniforms, he swelled visibly, WK'hen he donned his uniform and stalked majestically down to Bayside Park, without glancing either to the right or to the left, he was a haughty hgurc. Whenever Med is in uniform, he is proud and unapproachahle, hut when he is in civies, he is his own hap- py-ifo-lucky, cheerful self. ELMER CLARK VVe are surprised and somewhat disappointed to discover that '4Clarkie's ambition is to he a successful business man, Elmer has been such a permanent fixture in our band and orchestra that we expected him to follow the musical profession. Having seen him at every assembly with our orchestra, at every rally and game with our hand for four years. we naturally thought that he would he a famous musician in a great orchestra or hand, but it seems that he would rather he a business man. K THE .Lllfllll Sl LAUREN CLARK Lauren is such a quiet chap, and says so little about himself, that it is not very well known just what his accomplishments are. But we do know that he is a musician, and a very good one, for he has been a member of our orchestra and band for some time. He has - -also won distinction as a dance player, and has had several orchestras of his own. Vtfhether he intends to follow music as his life work or not. we don't know, but we wish him all kinds of good luck throughout his life. HAZEL RUTH COBB Of whom does that make you think? Uh! Hazel Cobh, the fountain of fun. Off in thc distance. we see a little red schoolhouse in the NVest. and in the doorway, ringing the bell which calls the children to study. we see the laughing face of the same Hazel Cobb. VVith so niany memories of fun in the past, how does she keep any order in her school? CHRISTINE ELIZABETH COLE A hustle and :i bustle, a tlash and a dash,A Christine is going to give her daily concert to the bo s. VVe've heard you get quite nervous and otptcn a little vexed when you find yon have an audience to hear you as you practice on your violin. Christine arrived from VVin- terport -about three years ago. She was just as she is toeday-a jolly, all-round girl. KATHERINE MAE CRIST VVhenever you see Katharine Crist you will see Clarabelle Jackson, and whenever you sec Clarabelle, you will see Katharine, Some say that one is a real person, and the other is a shadow, but the question is, which is the shadow? Katharine, alias Cristian is going to be one of the world's great artists. Some day. and we hope very soon. Deering students can say. Katharine Crist. the great artist? I went to school with her at Deering High.

LAVV R EN CE CROSS ls Larry Vross ever cross? That is the question that the entire Senior class asks, Those who are most intimate with him say they have never seen him in that state. Larry is always walking around the corridors with a cheerful smile on his face, and when he is called on to reeite. he smiles and recites. Some of his intimate friends tell us that he is verv adept at the ancient art of wvise-crackitxief' forever having something witty to say at any oefasion. MALCOLM DAVIS Malcolm is just annther of our host of ahle musicians, and has won fame as a member of our orchestra and hand at ditterent times in his high sehonl career. Also, if we rememher arightly, he was a soldier in our army of ealinots one or two years. VYe will always rt-memher Mal asa friendly chap who always had a good word for evcryhody, and we hope he will have :i lot ni success after his days at Deering are over. noRo'1'HY DEAN 7 ft To look at the list oi activities that Hot has taken part in. one would think she never had time to study, hut llorothy has kept her rank ahnut SSW, and helps keep the list ot li's still going strong. lt seems as though Hot would have plenty ut' room to land an airplane out in the wilds of Riverton, where she lives. lJon't knnek over any trees or houses in the attempt, l7ot. ET. v THE AJIFTHP 97 BERNICE DENSLONY Bernice will leave us entirely when gradua- tion comes, for we understand that she is go- ing to Massachusetts to live, so she will be separated from her many friends hy more than the separation of graduation. Bernice is such a cuiet girl that we could not seem to Find anytliing about her to write in this grind. lint we do know that she has many friends who love her dearly for her :uni- ahle disposition and character. WILLIAM CECIL DODGE Doggie is conspicuous by his inconspicu- ousness. Maybe it's because he has been so wrapped up in his studies during the past four years. He has been so quiet and unobtrusive that many of the seniors are almost unaware that he is one of them. Making a trip to the information bureau. we ionnd that Cecil is fond of skiing, and likes to travel by this excellent method, but his great- est delight is to he pulled by an automobile or some other vehicle of swift motion. FRANCES WINNIFRED DOW Frances is the young lady whom you see running around with a bookbag and looking terribly worried. We hope you aren't really as worried as you sometimes look Frances. She tells us that dramatics, especially ex rese sion, is her forte. She certainly has tallents along that line. and we wish her all kinds oi luck if she takes up those studies. JAM ES EDWARD DOYLE Jimmie is one of Deering's most ardent en- thusiasts of the famous Scandihoovian sport of skiing. They say that once he has skis on his feet you can't see him for dust. fHow- ever, that is a mistake, for places suitable for skiing Sll0L1lflIllt contain any dust, but we C0l1ldl'Ilf think of another wordj Seriously, though, did you ever watch James draw or paint? He is a determined worker. and doesn't have to go around Rohinson's barn to get what he's aiming at. U IH! JUETHYST ADELE DU FRESNE Adele-Alt sounds Frenchy, doesn't it? VVcll, I dnnno if she's French, lint l DO know that she has one characteristic of that nationality, :ind thats her gift of fluency. Anyone who helonged to her Problems class conlrln't fail to notice that characteristic. Adele is training to he a sailor: her first test' took place at Higliland Lake in the form of a shipwreck l'd practice on a frog-pond first, Adele: lelighland Lake is too dangerous. CHARLES L. DUNN FV7' Charlie Dunn is the luig hoy occupying the front corncr seat in the fifth period English class. To date he has never heen known to tnrn aronnd, put his feet in the aisle. or even to chew gain. For an occupant of any front seat. this is little short of miraculous. But in spite of these angelic qualities, Char- lie likes his fnn, and he gets it in many and varied ways. For instance, we know he is a great foothall fan, is partial to liaskethall, and has a liking for the manly art of Hsticnffs as portrayed in Mr. Frank lJeRice's Arena. RAYMOND DUNN The long, lanky, smiling individual pictured in these columns, my friends, is Ray Dunn himself. VVhile Ray has never made himself famous through athletics or school activities, vveryhody knows him for his pleasant ways and his perpetual fun and joke-making. It is rarely that anyone finds Ray in a gloomy ur cheerlcss mood. and it is our lvelief that he vvill he the same in fntnrc years as he is now. LEE GREENXVOOD DUPLISE.-X Here is a hoy who hails from the metropolis of North Gray. As this thriving center is situated approximately half-way between Port- land and Lewiston, he could choose hctween three high schools, - Deering, Portland and Lewiston. Lnred hy Deering's reputation. which had ever penetrated to his home town. he rlecidcd to hecome a memhcr of the class of '24i. He immediately joined our army. His rise in this lrranch of lJecring's activities was cer- tainly rapid. TIIE .4JlE VIDA ERNESTE DYl'.R Yida, the slim one!

ISAB El, EDXVARDS Hare we have the other twin of the pair: if we only could, we'd write up Isahel and Mar- ian togetltev, hut the printer man wouldn't allow it. lsahel is very reticent regarding what she is going to do after she leaves Deer- ing: perhaps she cloesn't know and doesn't want ns to know that she doesn't know.

Since Stan is a niemlier of our football team. we can understand that he wishes to be as successful as Red Grange. In that case. his :unhition is very high :uid hard to attain. Although our opinion of Stan is very high, we have our doubts as to his achieving his ani- liition. lf he should reach such high Dinnacles as Grange, wc know that Stan would not leave college for a few paltry dollars.

Eddie is a mighty fine fellow and is a graduate that lleering may well be proud of in the future. ETHEL NORTON Ethel is a very denture, mouse-like little lady who suddenly decided that she wanted to grad- uate with the class of '26, and we are more than glad that she so made up her mind.

She visits her home town occasionally. and seems to take lively interest in the happenings there. or shali l say people? MARY P. SMALL Really, Mary, we wonder what makes you so noisy.

She never has. but when the time for translation comes around, she can always get up and show up the rest of the class. VVouldn't it be fine to have, in about twenty years, a sign over the door of what is now Miss Briggs' oline reading, Miss Starbiril, Head of French Dept. Possibly, and what a lot the pupils would have to learn, with Polly scowling over the tops of her nose-glasses. IVAN STOUGHTON In the year 1922, however, there came to Deering High School tthrough the back doorl a little mouse, and that little mouse was ter- ribly scared at First, and he was awfully quiet. Bym'by, after a long, long time, he began to grow, and he grew and grew until now he's quite a boy. The complete history of this former mouse would fill the pages of a large book, for hig things are often done up in small packages. However, we predict that Ivan will grow even more while in college, and will be a great success. FRED EDVVARD STURDIVANT VVhenever you see 'fFreddie in the corri- dors. he's as quiet as can be, and you'd never suspect that in Chem Lab he's more danger- ous than any Bolsherist. lt's the truth. though. He's been known to stir up eoncoctions that even the teacher could not name. Neverthe- less, Fred is pretty good in Chemistry. He's also quite a boy along the lines of athletics, being interested in basketball and baseball. DOROTHY SULLIVAN Dorothy has made herself beloved by all for ber faithful work and her gentle cheerfulness with both teachers and fellow schoolmates. She has been at Deering only two years, but she has gained as many friends as if she had been a student the full four years, or even more. We will never forget her good service in the cafeteria, and wish her success in what- ever she takes up.

EDITH WILLIAMS Edith is a new girl at Deering, and we tlon't really know mneh to say ahout her. But. judg- ing from appearances. it would seem that she has already won a place in the hearts of the class of '2G. for she has already gained many friends, hoth among the girls and lmys.

Everyone, from the seniors to thc humhlest ireshie, knows John, and if he cloesn't, there in something radically wrong with them. Statistics of this institution of learning show that Stan has served Deering faithfully for the past four years, as a member of the Student Service, and a valuable member of the track tc-nm during his junior year.

U ,fag-M sf.-Q-'H School for the first tnne. Wle were the last freshman class Mba, rl . . . . . to enter into the fine old building with which so manv pleas- ' 51? A ,'-tif? if . . ' fl ant memories are associated. After we freshmen were accustomed to the monstrous building and the numerous scholars, we were given a party. There were dancing, games and a lovely entertainment for us. :Xt this party we be- came more acquainted with one another and also with our teachers. Later there was a Freshman Reception with more dancing, games, and a formal meeting of our teachers and schoolmates. Ater a short time we gathered together and elected our officers. Rich- ard Blanchard was chosen president, Donald llutler, vice-presidentg Don- ald Prince, treasurer 1 and john Robinson, secretary. Ileing very business-like at the beginning of our sophomore year, we immediately elected our officers. Richard johnson was chosen presidentg Adeline Dickey, vice-presidentg Blanchard Bates. treasurerg and Arlene johnson, secretary. The sophomore class brought added fame to themselves in track and basketball, proving themselves champions. Some of the sophomore men, I-Iersey, Bonnar, Cronkite, and Everett, were on the varsity squad in foot- ball. Stevens and Robinson distinguished themselves on the varsity basket- ball team with many brilliant plays. In girls' basketball all the future stars. Eleanor Smart, Laura Sherman, Olive Dow, and Hazel Hodgdon, were beginning to show their worth. Ross, Pelton, Farnham, and Prince showed great promise of future success in track. At the opening of the junior year the following officers were elected: President, Leigh Stevens: vice-president, Evelyn Percyg treasurer, Allen Rogersg secretary, Eleanor Smart. In October President Stevens called a meeting and the class estab- lished a precedent in the history of the school by voting to purchase class rings during their junior year. In class athletics the junior class showed up wellg the class football team, coached by Dick Johnson, won the inter-class championship, and the girls' basketball team won the championship of the girls' class league. This sextette was captained by Margaret Braman, and contained several girls who afterwards made the varsity squad. Margaret Braman, Hazel Hodgdon and Olive Dow all played on the varsity team and were awarded their letter at the end of the season. What would the musical organizations have done without the juniors? The orchestra and band would have been blank failures without the juniors, who made up more than two-fifths of these clubs. ...,..,..,.,,,,,. - . . -...- i-..-,-,-q-:-f1-t-'-w--- -I-sau-pw-vi ' wmv!! THE .-1.11 E TH VST i A GAME OF NAMES Ily LEoN H. Tmmzrrs Once upon a time there was a SMART fellow named SCOTT who, although he was not RICH. decided to buy a DODGE in order to enable him to enter a race at the country FAIR. and CARY oi? the annual grand prize. The day of the race was got FARR oif, so this LADD hastened to a nearby garage and inquired of the LITTLE garageman the PRICE of a SMALL DODGE roadster that had as much POWER's any. and would BURN as LITTLE gas as possible. Also, he said he wished this CARR to be as speedy as any on the road, for, he said, if he did not VVINN the coming race, he MINOTT be able to pay for it. The garageman assured him in a NOBLE manner, as all salesmen will, that there was no chance of failure, and sold him the CARR reasonably on credit. lYhen the time drew near for the races to commence, he began to worry immensely, for although he had tried his best to learn to drive his gasolene buggy, he had failed to RYDER. At KNIGHT he had taken her out into the moonlight and practiced diligently, but he could not seem to MASTER her. What was he to do? It would not be LONG before he would have to enter with the other contestants in their CARRs. He must HUNT for someone else to drive his DODGE, Perhaps ELLIOT, who was JOHNSON, the BAKER of WOODILL, would volunteer to drive for him. I-Ie asked ELLIOT, but ELLIOT had to REID a speech in the city HALL that day, and was therefore busy. He asked STEV- ENS, but STEVENS couldn't drive a baby carriage, to say nothing of a DODGE. East and WEST he searched in vain for a driver. At last the day of the race arrived. Somehow he got his CARR to the FIELD where the race was to take place. How he did it was MOORE than he could later tell. but get it there he did. VVith the rest of the entrants he was lined up at the starting point. himself at the wheel with his HART thumping mercilessly, but, neverthe- less, grimly determined to reach the GOULD dead or alive. They had but a short time to wait. The starter raised his GUNN-and fired! Each CARR began to CHUTE forward, all except SCOTT's. Like a contrary ISROVV N donkey. instead of advancing as the others, it stubbornly started backwards. SCOTT FELT his SOULE quake as he saw his predic- ament. and he attempted to call for aid, but he couldn't HALLOW ELL because of his great terror. So frightened was he, that his BLOOD actu- ally congealed in his veins and his eyes looked WVILDES a drowning cat. At last his paralyzed nerves unloosened just a hit, and he FELT fran- tically for the clutch to reverse it. VVith all his RRAVVN he pushed. In his excitement he had missed the clutch and was pressing in on the accel- erator. Naturally the CARR did not SLACK in its velocity. It only went the faster. As it gained greater speed it fairly snorted around the track backwards, kicking up a RILEY GRAY dust. There was no use to steer the thing. She was WILDES a bucking broncho on a spree. He simply shut his eyes and tried to PREY to his LORD and Maker. Evi- 54 THE .+I.l!ETHYST dently his L',Xl,l, was unanswered, for if anything. the CARR went the faster. Miraculous good fortune kept his henzine wagon on the road and away from the C.'XRRs of his rivals. Three times he completed the circumference of the track and NVOOD have DUNN NOORIC if he hadn't suddenly come to his senses and at- tempted to control something that really had MOORE intelligence than himself. The instant he tried to govern the mad DODGE in her back- ward gamble she just coughed angrily, lost her ire and without hesitation headed directly for the grandstand, hut collided with a post midway and STOVTER all to pieces, such that .'Xl,kfVOOD and twisted tin strewed the scenery. .Xftcr SCOTT had LANE under the wreckage for some sec- onds, he commenced to extricate himself laboriously. Finally he cleared his head enough to see around him. A man who wore a heard that looked like FROST in winter was coming toward him. ln his hand he carried a VVHITE box containing the awards. Drawing nearer he spoke, You VVINN. Your time was two minutes and three seconds, two seconds better than the world's record. It need not be said that SCOTT was Hahbergasted. From that mo- ment, whenever an argument arose he always maintained that the only way to WlNN a race was to let the more intelligent machinery do the hrainwork. This is what he TOWLE them all later, The old DODGE knew more. and had ten times more common sense. I've got no kick. It won. That's all. THE WORKERS Athlete-Leigh Stevens. Illustrator-Olive Powers.

Robert Richards was elected President: Virginia Winslow, Vice-President: William Anderson, Sec- retary, VVil1iam Howard, Treasurer. The Executive Committee were Clovis Leavitte, Mary Williams, and Ruth Paxson. VVe have been well represented in the sports. Those who have made the varsity team are the following: baseball--Cotton, Richards, basket- ball-Richards, Mace, and Blanchard, football-Hawkes and VVilson. On the track teams, Estes and Morang both made the cross-country team. Estes is the best miler that D. H. S. has turned out since Adam ate the apple. Also, Morang is nothing to sneeze at. Blanchard, Hawkes, Bicknell, NVilson, Titcomb, and Richards were the basketeers for our class in the class contests. In debating, the feminine stars hold their powdered noses high in the ethereal sphere. Such are Madelyn Bridges, XVinnifred Hodgkins, and Margaret Brown. These celestial bodies, however, are hard pressed by certain members of the more gentle sex, Clayton Hall, Henry Cakes. john Phillips, and so on. 511 THE A.llETHl'ST ll. Jones. K. jones. li.

FRESHMAN FOOTBALL If a person should look over some of the husky freshmen, he would think that they would make up a good football team, but when the call for class football was given, there were only about six candidates, and, instead of increasing, this number rapidly diminished. Thus ended the hopes of a freshman football eleven. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL The freshman girls organized a basketball team and elected Margaret Chapman captain. They tried exceedingly hard to compete with the other classes, but owing to lack of experience and training, they came out last in the inter-class games. Nearly all these girls made Deering's second squad. , A great many boys reported for the freshman quintet and, after a few days' practice, elected Carl Weber captain. This team also fought stub- bornly, but finished with the same result as the girls. Numerals were awarded to all boys and girls playing one-half of the periods in the inter- class games. Most of these boys also made Deering's second squad, while William Blagdon made the first squad. SP2 THIS AME TH YST FRESH MAN DEBATE The annual freshman debate was held April 7, 1926, between the boys and girls. The subject debated was: Resolved: That daylight saving time should be legalized throughout Maine. The girls defended the affirmative side and the boys the negative. Ruth Woodill coached the girls and Manley Littlefield coached the boys. The members of the affirm- ative team were Mary Scanlon, Rebecca Shaw, Muriel Boyker, and Louise Hodgkins. The members of the negative were Kenneth Smith. Arthur Forrestall, Eugene Merry, and VVilliam Haviland. The negative side won by the judges' decision and Eugene Merry was chosen best speaker.

This is a heavy schedule more than any other school in Nlame attempted No league the Kiwanis Club and the Portland Club Pach of the ten 1 I 5 championships were won, although cups were obtained from . . . A debaters won at least one debate and two teams went through the season without a defeat. Four debates were held on the government ownership of anthracite coal mines. which was the question in the Bowdoin League. Deering won from South Portland and Portland, but lost the finals to Edward Little. This loss was due to the peculiar management of the league, which gave the strong Deering negative team no opportunity to appear in the finals. Deering also won a special debate on this same subject from Portland be- fore the Portland Club. The affirmative team was composed of Neal Ross. Rizpah Davis, and Louise Rates. Fred Scribner substituted for Miss Davis in one of two debates which came on successive days. The negative team consisted of Madelyn Bridges, Ruth Woodill and Manley'Littlefield. Six debates were held on the ratification of the Child Labor Amend- ment. which was the question in the Dates League. For the first time in four years. Deering failed to win this championship: but this was in no way due to any lowering of the standard of her debating. lloth the af- firmative team of Evelyn Percy and Fred Scribner and the negative team of Donald Prince and VVeston Rankin won the preliminary debates unani- mously from Norse High and Lincoln Academy respectively. In the semi-finals the negative won easily from liryeburg .-Xcademy, but the affirmative team lost a close two to one decision to XVaterville negative. This Waterville team was undefeated in the league and one of its members who tied with Fred Scribner for individual honors in the semi-finals won the cup for best speaker in the finals. Fred Scribner and Nleston Rankin won from Portland Iligh on this same subject in the annual Kiwanis Club debate and the regular negative team won from South Portland High in a debate before the Elks Club. Deering loses five of her star debaters this year. Louise Hates, Ruth Wloodill, Manley Littlefield, XVeston Rankin and Fred Scribner have won more debates than any other one group of debaters at Deering. Rankin has never lost a debate and Miss llates and Mr. Scribner have together lost only three. ,, .., ,.,,,'.., . .,., V,-,,,,,..,. THE AMETHYST 67 DEBATING ASSOCIATION Ry FRED C. SCRIBNER, JR. The Deering High Debating Association, under the capable leader- ship of its president. Fred Scribner, has just completed a most successful season. lts other officers have been, Yice-President, Dorothy Dean: Sec- retary, Ruth Woodill, and Treasurer, Arnold Boyce. These officers and the various program committees have arranged numerous interesting and instructive entertainments, which have been presented at the bi-monthly meetings. One of the first events of the club's year was its annual entertainment, which was especially interesting this year. It took the form of a play, written by our coach, Mr. Quimby, about Deering and some of its most important people. There was also a short and very entertaining Irish play given at that time, coached by Miss Welsh. All the meetings have been at school. with the exception of a most enjoyable hot-dog roast, held near Riverton early in the fall. Most of the programs are arranged and given by the students themselves, taking the form of mock trials, old-fashioned schools, or mock debates. One very interesting debate was held in the spring by the freshm-a.n' girls and freslii man boys-the boys winning a unanimous decision. The Dates Yarsity teams gave a trial debate before the club, and the animal junior-sophomore debate was also held at a club meeting. Miss Tilton gave an illustrated lecture on England at one meeting, and Miss Pauline Graham entertained us at another. ln February a meeting of the executive committee was held, and it was voted to amend the constitution, and reorganize the club. At the next meeting the amended constitution was read and accepted: and membership cards, to be presented at every meeting, were given to all members. Deering owes much of its success in debating to this organization, for Mr. Quimby linds much of his material for varsity debates in the under- classmen who take part in the debates sponsored by the club. Also it is this club which finances the trips which our debaters make in the course of the debating season. This is one of the oldest of the school's many clubs. and, as many of its members are, at present, underclassmen, we hope next year for another season as successful as this has been. PRIZE SPEAKING CONTEST By Miss JEAN WE1.sn The annual Arthur G. Spear Prize Speaking Contest was held in the Deering High School Auditorium on December 11. 1925. The first prize of fifty dollars was awarded to Dorothy Dean and the second prize of twenty-five dollars to Ruth Kennedy. Neal Ross and Arnold Boyce were given honorable mention. os THE fI.ll!i7'Hlr'S'l' THE D CLUB D CLUB lly TiI.LIU'1'T Mxizsn .Xl.L K IQICTING was called on December 21, 1925, for the purpose sport The motive in forming this club is best expressed in 2 -ji 'W I if :eff . . . . . ,, .

There were thirteen students present who were qualified for member- ship, and it was decided that these students should constitute the charter members of the club. The following officers were elected for 1925-213: President, Iilliott Marshall, '265 Yice-President, Olive Dow, '272 Sec- retary. lloward Lopez, '2lig Treasurer, Leigh Stevens, 327: Executive Committee: Chairman, .Xrthur llaker, '26, Helen Gunderson, '26, Nvar- ren llloeklinger. T201 Faculty Advisor, Mr. Lundholm. Meetings have been held weekly during the home room period. The cluh has considered and acted upon several matters relative to athletics, It was voted that members of the debating teams should be eligible for mem- bership in the club, that the cross-country letter should he supplemented with two small c's until it becomes a major sport, and that hockey should be recognized hy the club as a major sport and therefore entitled to a letter without the l l. 'l i. formerly used. p ' VQ1 THE AMETHYST G9 It was also decided that a letter with a megaphone through it will be awarded to cheer leaders. and that winners of the letter D in any sport recognized by the club will receive a certificate to that effect. this being given in addition to the letter or sweater as a more lasting reward and reminder of the student's athletic career. On Friday, April 23, the members of the club furnished the program for a very enjoyable assembly, President Marshall presiding. Those eligible for membership in 1925-26 are :-Harold Alward, Arnold Boyce, Warren Blocklinger, Arthur Baker, Margaret Braman, Philip Chapman, Norma Grover, Helen Gunderson, Herbert Jacobson, Frances Johnson, Manley Littlefield, Howard Lopez, Joseph McCarty, Elliott Marshall, Kenneth MacDuffie, Bernice Per- kins, Weston Rankin, Fred Scribner, John Stanley, Ruth Woodill, James Adams, George Blanchard, Charles Bickford, John Bates, Donald Butler, Kenneth Cotton.

THE STUDENT SERVICE CLUB By FRANCES JOHNSON The Student Service Club consists of representatives from each home room. The meetings are held at eight o'clock every Monday morning. Mr. Wing presides, bringing up matters of interest to the student body. These are discussed. as are problems brought forward by the members of the club. Anything of interest or that pertains directly to the students is introduced in the home rooms. and the results are reported at the following meeting. Every week, members are assigned for duty at the desk in the hall. There is a different person every period. Their duty is to collect the at- tendance slips, to show guests whatever they wish to see or to inform them of whatever they wish to know, in general, to help and serve the school. Some of the members usher at assemblies, or on special occasions, as they did at the prize speaking contest this year. Last fall, when the build- ing was opened for inspection. members of the Student Service acted as guides for visitors who were shown about the building. The purpose of the club is to serve. VVith this object in mind. they have attempted to make Deering a better high school. and one of which we may be proud.

Jean- nette Reynoldsg Assistant Pebble Editor, Clifton Longg Faculty Advisor, Miss Soule. Perhaps you have wondered what the name Brcrria means and how it came to be chosen for our school paper. Brcrria is the Italian for stone, and a stone is made up of small pebblesg hence our Brcccia with its numer- ous departments, each doing its small part and contributing to the creation of a harmonious and interesting whole. The Bwrriai Board has done its best this year to give the school a good paper. The numbers have been larger: the stories have been better, there has been a series of articles entitled Glimpses of Interesting Places in Portland 1 the poems have been clever: the Pebbles department has been unusually good: for the first time we have had exchanges, not from places in America only, but from all over the worldg and for the first time, also, we have had cartoons. The cover, too, has been different this year, in that it has remained the same for each issue, thereby establishing the magazine as the Brvrriu of 1925-26. THE RADIO CLUB Ry EVERETT NTAGUIRE At the beginning of the school year some thirty interested students met to discuss plans for the Radio Club. The constitution was revised and the previously somewhat stringent requisites for membership were greatly modified. At a subsequent meeting the following officers were elected: President and Chief Operator, Everett Maguireg Vice-President, Philip McCrumg Treasurer, Russell Gladwing and Secretary, William Langzettel. Although our one operator has been unable to devote much time to transmitting, the station at Deering has been in communication with ama- teurs in all parts of the country. From a social standpoint the year has been very successful. Before school closed for Thanksgiving the Club held a box lunch social at which the lunches brought by the girls were auctioned oFf to the highest bidders among the boys. Several interesting speakers have featured the club meet- ings. At one meeting, Mr. Harold Sever, an old commercial operator. told of the davs when radio had not reached its present stage of development. The founvder of the Club, Leon Blackwell, was present at a later meeting and spoke a few words to the members. During the Christmas vacation the old members of the club enjoyed a reunion. The last of January the students visited the local broadcasting station and were shown the entire installation. - THE .f1.1lE7'll1f'ST 71 THE BAND 115' X1111:1x1.x 1xx11:11'1' g 1 11 1 N 1 N111 D111 1llCXl1l1'lJ1lX .W i 1 l1IC11'1111111'1.' 1l'lK1 Z1 V1-1'y1111.'1' '11111 Il ' 111' 11 . 1' ing -g, 1111' 1111- 1111151 111- 1111- 1.1101111111 g2lI11l'S f1l'l1'1I1g 1111- 11111. 111111 111 1111 . - h x the 1'111111-s.

VVhat good is fear on the wide open spaces of the sea? Fear! Only landsmen fear! Into the harbor of Pasadena came the good vessel N 011631. Captain Skillings and his motherless daughter, Queenie, stood by the rail, gazing over the blue-green water to the murmuring shores of that little town of the seacoast. Laden with pungent spices from Ceylon, the good ship was to anchor but for a while in Pasadena before moving southward. Captain Skillings was in an indulgent mood. This day he would be joined by a new mate, a man who, for some unknown reasons, had left another worthy ship, the Tempest. But he would be a good mate, thought the skipper, because his father was of the bravestg perished in a storm or something. Yes, the captain was in an indulgent mood. Queenie, with all her eighteen years of free rovings with this stern-faced yet twinkling-eyed father of hers, knew that she would be humored. Pop, dear, snuggling closely to him in a half caressing, half timor- ous manner, Pop, dear, can I go ashore for a little while? jest t' see the stores 'n the crowds ? We-ll, child, answered the captain, hesitatingly, oh, all right, Queenie, but jest for a while. But we ain't aimin' to anchor in this here place long. jest time to unload and then we'll steer sou'ward. Ch, pop, said the starry-eyed queen of the vessel Nancy, then I kin wear mother's blue calico, can't I P This a bit wistfully, for Queenie's mother had left her long ago to sail on a longer voyage than she had ever sailed with her worshiping husband. Captain Skillings had told his daugh- ter all about her mother, with the eyes of blue and the hair of burnished goldg sunset hair he said. Many times, too, he had told Queenie of her likeness to this beautiful creature who was his wife. He taught her to love the sea as her mother had, and to be brave in time of storm and trouble. Fear-bah!-only the weak were without courage! And Captain Skillings was bravest of the brave. Yes, daughter, put on your n1other's calico dress. She seems to be here when you are dressed as she. I remember as if it were a fortnight ago, when your mother said to me, 'Shard. you are so brave-I hope our little girl will have a man as gallant and noble as you. You'-well, Queenie, run along now and git ready. A suspected tear-memories- all that remained of a beautiful romance that was ended only by his wife's death. .215 H1115 , YV ly7!:n7'vv-r- lg,-Mr.:-vvw-nv .1-.- 1 .:.'f-mx -11 qrgy- 9 THE AMETHYST 77 Therefore, on a bright September morning, did Queenie Skillings. dressed in her bright little calico and resplendent in her anticipation of a day in town, step oft the gangway of the vessel to Romance. Love had not entered into her heart until that day when she met Peter Stephens, who walked past her on to the ship. NVhen he looked into her eyes and she into his, Fate, that incomprehensible weaver of Life, made them know that they belonged to each other. Six feet of brawn and muscle made Peter Stephens a specimen of true manhood. But what you noticed Hrst was his hair. Coal jet-raven wings, Queenie thought. Eyes tender and yet mysterious-oh. how could little Queenie solve him? It would spoil all his superbness to portray him, -he was every inch a man. Turning around, she saw him talking to her fatherg but she knew that his eyes followed her. What could he want? W'ho was he? All day long she was in a Hurry-oh, why did she come to town? These people were oh, so greedy and common. So Queenie turned back at a much earlier hour than she expected--half curious-and wholly hoping that he might still be there. The gods were good to her, for when she came up the gangway. he was still talking to her father. Oh, here's my old sl1ipmate, laughingly exclaimed the captain. l'Queenie, come here, my dear. VV hat could he mean? This young man couldn't be the new mate? This is Queenie, my little gal, her father told Stephens. Queenie, my new mate, Peter Stephens. Thus, in his bluff, unpolished way did he introduce these two young souls who would care for each other above heaven and earth. A week had gone by and Captain Skillings was puzzled-and worried. Did Peter Stephens lack the courage and fearlessness of his father, who had gallantly died with his men in the great storm of 1900? The man must have some courage in his veins, but he had proved himself a coward. It was very perplexingg and here the captain shook his head and drew his brows into one uneven line of puzzlement. Had not the sailors told him of the reluctance and fear that beset Peter Stephens when he entered a life- boat? Bah-did he think the sea would swallow him? And hadn't he himself seen the wave of fear that blanched his face when he asked him to climb to the gull nest and keep watch? Too bad-too bad, but something had to be done. At this moment Peter himself came into the cabin. His face was tlushed and his hands were shaking as with palsy. We-ll, drawled Cap. Er-er, oh, hang it. Cap. but I'm afraid I'm no good as a sailor. I cannot conquer it. Conquer what ? testingly. 78 THE AMETHYST Oh, shades of Moby Dick: you know what I mean. Fear! Over- powering fear. Oh, Captain Skillings, its damning. My life has been made a hell on earth because of fear ! Steady, th-ar. steady, boy. Yer don't sound much like yer ol' dad. Once when him and me- My poor old dad! But, Cap, it was because of my father that I was born with fear l Eh ? Astonishment was written plainly on the captain's face. Yes, not directly, but that's what I said. Listen, Cap. VVhen my father was on the sea, my mother at home would be wait- ing patiently for him. Lonely days for a woman-waiting always. Mother was always -afraid of the sea. NVell, one day Dad came home and told Mother that he'd take her on the next voyage: that is, after he came back from Madagascar. But he never came back. A big storm arose just as Dad was entering the harbor, and Mother saw Dadis ship founder and sink. Gently he continued: I was born that morning, after a night of wildness and death. My mother died fearing the sea. Fear--the fear of the sea was born within me. I am fascinated by it and I try to conquer fear, but each attempt is worse than the last. I am sorry that my father has such an ass of a son V' I understand now, said Cap. Darn shame. Thanks I'd hate to have you mitv me. Iiut Ca , it's almost insuf- . I . i P ferable now-this fear. Clinging like a coward on shore would have been better than this. For itis not so much the ridicule of my messmates-but. Cap.-I have grown to love your daughter, and I cannot ask you for her, because I am not a mang just a miserable coward whom she loves. She said so, Cap. Yes, my boy. answered the captain, I knew it and I'm sorry. But my li'l gal- My wife would not want a coward- I know. 1,111 a Miss Nancy I guess-afraid- At this moment Queenie came running in breathlessly, saying in one sentence that a storm was brewing. But in that one moment she discerned two faces-consternation and fear in one and action in the other. Oh. he was so strongg why couldn't he be brave like her father? Darkness. The rolling turbulent sea. Gray clouds changing into masses of inky blackness. And then the sea broke out into its fury. Sky and sea were combined in one destructive force, striving to crush the ship Nancy into splinters. A night of pent up furies let loose. All hands on deck! Quick, the topsail sheets: let's go! The huge waves dashed on board. and the .Yanry was unmercifully tossed about in the angry bosom of the sea. Stephens, down in the cabin, THE AMETHYST 79 cringed against the swaying wall. Fear was in his blanched face and in his dilating eyes. Like a madman it had seized him. Oh, God, would it ever end? Let the fore sheet go l Man overboard! The helmsman is washed overboard! The ship is foundering. No man at the helm. Ah, there's Captain Skillings at the tiller. Over the din and the roar the captain's voice rang out. Pm steering her around, boys. Cheer, boys, cheer! Oh, God! Only my leg, boys. Beam, that's all. Fell on it-oh- Therefore did Peter see the captain carried tenderly in. But the ship was foundering again. Qucenie was there, aiding her father with gentle loving hands. Go back, boys! The ship is out of her course. VVho'll go at the helm? My little gal-oh, God- Peter-the woman he loved going to be drowned. because he was afraid! I'll go, Captain. I'll go l God bless ye, Peter-God bless ye- On the deck with wild waves dashing over the helm-messmates with- out a leader. God gave Peter back his manhood then. Steady, boys, steady. Here I am. Cheer, boys, cheer! His arm broken by a fallen mast. Peter gallantly raged a battle against the seas- and won! All night he commanded and cheered his men. and thru that long and weary vigil his spirit remained unconquerable. He had mastered fear-mastered it because of his love for this slip of a girl of the seas. After the storm-calm. VV as that blue sky ever threatening? Was that quiet sea ever treacherous? Peter knew in his heart of hearts that fear had been forever dispelled from him. He thanked God for making him a man. VV hat matter that his arm ached and that he was weary? But how was the captain? Peter's way to Captain Skillings's cabin was greeted by cheers from the crew. He was a hero to them-wonderful feeling of being respected. No wonder his heart was singing. Queeiiie- Ah, there you are. m'lad. said the captain. Oh, I'm all right -to the inquiring eyes of Peter. I heard all about you in last night's squall. Queenie, my gal, here-- But Queenie was already in the arms of Peter. Above-below. Good-day. All's well. 80 THE AMETHYST DISHES i By JEAN BROWN M ISHES terrify me. I shall have to admit it. Imean, of course, 55- unwashed dishes. A dishpan half lull of dishes I find quite bad enough in its effect on me. but an overflowing pan strikes E, stark terror to my soul. i' fl' It's not because I am in any way inclined to dislike the work entailed in washing a pan full of dishes that Iam affected in this way. Rather it is as my aunt remarked. as she gathered up the fragments of a highly prized china cup which I had just dropped upon her hard, very hard, kitchen floor: I really believe, Mary, that instead of a silver or gold spoon. you were born with a cracked cup in your mouth. That is exactly everything in a nut shell. For I never approach a dish without having it suspect me of assault and battery and immediately slide off the shelf out of my reach. After I had successfully broken, or what is almost worse in the eyes of a conscientious housekeeper, nicked all of my mother's glass sherbet dishes, she begged me to end my unsuccess- ful career as a dishwasher. retire to the davenport and read a story after every meal and leave the dishes to her far more tender mercies. I was relieved at this ultimatum of my dear and long-suffering mother, for always anticipating the fact that I must proceed directly to the dishpan from the dinner table. played havoc with my digestion. And, at this time, I was but a wraith of my former substantial self. Eliminating dishwashing from my daily schedule had simplified mat- ters at home, and everything proceeded smoothly with both the dishes and me. I gained weight, not that I needed to C I weigh 140 poundsj and the dishes assumed a far brighter aspect on life. Thus matters had gone their calm, ordered way until I received an invitation to dine at the home of a girl whose acquaintance I had recently cultivated. She was a charming girl and I liked her immensely. XVe were congenial and our brief acquaintance was rapidly developing into a firm friendship. I had met her mother only twice and her father not at all, but I was sure that both must be very likeable. Dorothy, my friend, had assured me that it was to be a very informal dinner, really only a supper. with me the only guest invited. I felt relieved. for I loathe formal dinners. Ifveryone else is sure to be thin and I always feel as though each person were eyeing me cov- ertly to see how much I had to eat at every meal to get that way. Accordingly, I presented myself at my friend's home at the old-fash- ioned supper hour. at six o'clock promptly. The dinner. like myself, was prompt, and almost innnediately I found myself seated at Mr. 1Ieredith's elbow, listening to an animated monologue on the subject, VVhy Diet and How? Mr. Meredith, by the way, some- what resembles an elongated tooth pick. He was very amusing though, and I became intensely interested in his oration. notwithstanding the appearance of a plate of delectable cream puffs. in which I have always been addicted. lt seemed an all too short time until Mrs. Meredith rose from her chair and I realized that the dinner, like all enjoyable affairs. had come to an end. Oh. Mother, you must let Mary and me help you with the dishes, I heard Dorothy say in a bright. cheerful tone. -ns f5 N 7 THE AMETH YST 91 Mary--help with the dishes! Those terrible words beat upon my consciousness. I.ike red hot brands they seared my brain. Alternate hot and cold shivers scampered up and down my back. Oh, that will be more than nicef' Mrs. Meredith answered. looking at us affectionately. lint you must let me clear them off the table. and, then, you and Mary may wipe them for me. I thanked heaven for a brief respite in which to collect my scattered faculties, and compose myself for the coming ordeal. In an agony of anticipation, I watched Mrs. Meredith place the dainty china in the pan. All ready, girls. she called cheerfully. Dorothy placed a cup towel in my palsied hands and appropriated one herself. I felt as though she had offered me a shroud.

WV ith my eye, I chose one cup which seemed to rise more prominently in the drainer than any of its fellows. Cautiously and silently, I approached it. My approach greatly resembled the stealthy one of a housewife upon the trail of an elusive fly. The cup saw me and divined my purpose. Instead of entreaty in my eye, it read murderous assault with intent to kill. Accordingly, acting upon the primal instincts of self-preservation. it slid lower into the drainer.

FARR Songs are now sung as in days of old Of the hero, the winner, the bravest. the bold: But please don't forget, every good sport and fan, To honor the loser, the second-place man. He gave all he had in his try to come first: He wasn't the best-he wasn't the worst. A winner's been worshiped e'er since time began, But shouldn't we honor the second-place man? It may be his best was not quite good enough. But he gave his all, and he didn't bluff: He fought from the gun and a good race he ran. So fail not to honor the second-place man. THE EVER-CHANGING SKY Ry FR.xNcEs Tiionvsux A dismal, dripping night, retiring I behold, A dull and dreary fog. a sky of misty gray- But waking I can see a breaking in the East, And then a glow: a flush. the jolly sun. the day! The morn's fresh, sunlit heavens' of clear. unstreaked blue. At last with snowy clouds that gently drift are decked. As minutes Hee. the wind-blown clouds go sailing by: The blueness fades, a calm and pallid night expect. The azure, crimson, gold. combined, the sunset traceg The dusk and darkness come: the stars and moon are nigh It is a face that broods, that beams with joy. that weeps,- A wondrous gift of God. the ever-changing sky. THE AMETHYST 83 ALONE By KATHARINIQ CRIST VVere you ever out on the lake alone when the night was cool and clear, XVhen the moon was crossing the sky above and the stars seemed very near, When save for the dip of the .paddle and the loon's call. low and odd, The whole great world seemed silent and you were alone with God? Then, you know how I felt as I sat there, in the stern of my little canoe, As I gazed on the beauties of nature, wond'ring and doubting anew, How I felt when I looked at the water. and the stars and the trees and the sky And all the rest of God's wonders that round about me did lie. W'hen I consider Gocl's heavens and the beautiful things He has made, His wonderful work we call Nature, and the loveliness it has portrayed. I wonder how He can be mindful of me, I'm so trifling and small, But He loves us, I'm sure, for He gave us the worldg that's His gift to us all. MY SHIP By CONSTANCE FURRUSH It was evening on the waters And my ship was sailing high, While the waves were black and crested, Striving. each, to touch the sky. It was twilight on the waters And my ship was sailing still, While Aurora scattered roses O'er the eastern sky. at will. It was midnight on the waters And my ship was sailing deep, With the fallen waves around her, And the stars, inviting sleep. It was daybreak on the waters And my ship was sailing fast. Through the Hood-gates of the morning I have come to thee at last. 84 THE A .ll E TH YS T LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF CLASS OF 1926 f :N 'rig 1.-'.

On the other side, though, the Deering line resisted all the Catholic efforts to push through, the score being 0 to O. BIDDEFORD 18--D1zr:R1NG 0 Biddeford met Deering at Bayside on October twenty-fourth for an easy victory. The Mill City boys were just like a machine, and they simply pushed the Purple into the ground. If it hadn't been for the fight- ing opposition they encountered. their score would have been far above the final 18. Com' 9-DEIERING 0 At Augusta Deering found another slippery field and was seriously handicapped by it. Cony had been counting on an easy victory, but due to the excellent work of Lin Knight and Bickford. a substitute, they were held down to a 9 to 0 triumph. The Purple showed her first good playing in this game. Sourn PoRTr..xNn 6-DEERING 0 Lundy's boys fought South Portland to a 6 to 0 finish at Bayside. Arty Baker and Bud Hawkes were both lost for the rest of the season in this game. Deering kept the ball in the South Portland territory most of the time, but couldn't get up pep enough to push on to the line. Wlssrnkook 18-DEERING G , Captain Lopez commanded the team for the first time against West- brook, and he made a fine showing. The first score of the season was made by a pass, Butler to Blocklingerg but this one tally was not enough to overcome the Paper City team, and the final count of 18 to 6 gave them the game. BATH 12-D121-:RING 20 Morse High yielded to Deering for the first and only win of the season. The field at Bath was really only a pasture, and both teams were hampered much by the poor ground. The first score was put up by Morse at the beginning of the muss. Then Alward was put in the backfield, and he started for a count, but somehow he stopped at the three-yard line. This gave the Deering boys the necessary impetus, and from then on it was entirely their game. PORTLAND -l-li--DEERI NG 0 The last Portland game was merely a walk-away for the Blue. Their heavy eleven just rolled down the field for score after score until they had piled up 49 points. But the Purple team died game, and Lopez's work gave him a place on the All-Maine team, while Baker and Riley also fought to the end. ss THE .Al.lllf'l'Hl'.S l' J t i THE HOOPSTER5 OF D. H. S.

DEERING 24-CATHOLIC 23 By one of the best shots ever seen in Maine, Captain Stevens defeated Catholic.

It was a hard fought battle: but with Norma Grover showing her usual fine play- ing, the varsity came out on the long end of 11 to 6. Norma contested every point with Cat Davis, guarding for the alumnae. Olive Dow of the varsity jinxed the graduates at every turn. many times spoiling their chances for a score.

VVe won by the easy margin of 29 to 9, but the girls received the worst blow of the season when Captain Frances John- son slipped and broke a small bone of her ankle. Worse and more of it was the fact that in the same game, Laura Sherman, our other star side- center, broke the cartilage of her knee, thus wrecking her hopes of playing this year. Souru PoRTL.xNu 20-DIEIZRING 30 A Red invasion from across the bridge swept into the Deering gym on january sixteenth.

CoN Y 25--'DIEERING 58 On the sixth sun of the month of February, the Purple double trio went to Augusta for the express purpose of defeating Cony. They did this piece of work up brown : the score standing 58 to 26 when the whistle blew. Norma, at side-center. put on some of the fastest work that Au- gusta has ever seen, with Eleanor right at her heels. Gundy made six- teen lioor goals, and Ollie kept the Cony's big threat, Miss Moulton, down to two floor goals. l,UR'l'L.X ND iii-DIiIiRI NG 21 And now comes the first Deering-Portland game!

The referee held both sides to a rigid interpretation of the rules. but this was no handicap, for Gundy and Margaret llraman brought Deering 27 points, while Jordan succeeded in piling up seventeen. Ollie, Norma, and Eleanor played their usual Hne game. CUNY 4-DEERING 2+ After the February vacation, the Deeringites tackled Cony again and played the Augusta sextette on March sixth. F or the first time since the VVestbrook game at the beginning of the season. the team took the Floor headed by Captain Frances Johnson. Gundy', again piled up the great- est number of points, and Ruth Paxon was close behind her. SOUTH PoRTr..xNn 2-1-DEIQRING 22 Desperately fighting in the game which meant much to both teams, Deering bowed to the Capers to the tune of 24 to 22. This was the great- est battle of the entire year, and furthermore it proved that defeat after twenty-six straight victories did not lessen one whit the fighting spirit of our girls of Deering. JORDAN 17-DEERING -L7 The Second game with Jordan was held in our own gym. Gundy and Norma did their part by some scoring and clever playingg Captain Johnson and Dot McCracken at forward added to the good work by showing some great defensive work: and Eleanor along with Hazel Hodg- don helped along a good many goals. Ollie recovered nobly from a hard smash in the face from the ball during the early part of the iight, and came back for some fine playing. l'oR'r1..xNn lii-DlCI'IliINl3 27 Portland had the last game of the year, and they had a game that was worth remembering. Captain johnson, Gundy. and Norma were play- ing the last game of their high school career, and they literally outdid themselves to make it a sweeping win for the Purple. Gundy and Norma couldn't seem to help dropping the leather in the net. This completed the season. and incidentally gave the State Cham- pionship to us-don't forget that. . . ws 5 THE AMETHYST 93 HOCKEY Iiy FRED C. SCRIBNER, JR. HE 19215 Deering hockey team received a severe setback to tatgfl an otherwise successtul season by the opposition provided by N 'fold man winter. Although a, schedule of eight games had been arranged, the weather conditions were such that only f-our it Yigflt' of these could be played. This year Deering had a champion- ship team going through the season meeting the best of opponents and never losing a game. The opening game was with Portland in our own rink. The ice was covered with snow and neither team could show much speed. Arty Baker by clever skating scored Deering's only shot, but Portland could do no better and the score ended 1-1. The crowd was entertained in the slow moments by the awkward antics of the Portland goalie. Deering next journeyed to Bates to meet the frosh who had the year before given us a trimming. The boys who starred in this game were Ralph Nute, who was a wonder on the defense, and Jimmie Adams. who stopped all kinds of shots. After a five-minute overtime the score was still 0-0 and darkness ended the contest. Deering certainly showed great skill and cleverness while playing the fast frosh crew. For the third game Deering travelled amid snow and ice to Pennell Institute. Here they played slow hockey at times, allowing some of their men to rest or wander about. Nute, displaying his usual form, even suc- ceeded in caging a goal for Pennell. This did not stop the Deering crew and they won, 3-2. The next Deering game was at Bridgton. Bridgton's only winter activity is hockey, and they, therefore, have a very strong team. Frost at goal, Baker and Bates all helped to hold the final score to 1-1. This game again had a five-minute overtime period, but neither team could score and darkness again ended the playing. Four other ganies had been scheduled for the season, however, weather conditions prevented the playing of them. CROSSCOUNTRY TRACK By FRED C. SCRIHNER, JR. Scomzs Gorham Normal School Won by Deering, 26-29 Pennell Institute Won by Deering, 48-17 For a second consecutive year Deering has had a very good track season. Track is a sport which draws fewer candidates than any other. especially at Deering. Coach I-larvell started the boys working out of doors early in October. Although very few men answered his call, with those who came out a cross-country team was formed. This was the first year that Deering has ever had a team in this branch of sport. After the first few weeks of hard practice the first race was arranged with Gorham Normal School. In this race Estes proved his worth and broke all course records. Deering won the race by a good margin. The second meet was with Pennell Institute. Here again Deering won, through the good work of Estes, Morang. and Captain Pelton, who finished in that order. Although cross-country has not been accepted as a major sport, the D Club voted to award the cross-country men with a D flanked by two C's. The men receiving letters are Captain Pelton, Estes, Morang. Ryder, Hodgdon, Bates, and Fobes. ill 'l'Hli .11.llli7'll1'.S l' 1 BUCKS USNEAKER-PUSHERSU TRACK, 1926 Ily 151111111 if S111111:x1c11, blld. 1, qur, thc Cl11s1' 111 s1'h1111l lust 1'1':11'. tl11' p1'11s11C1'ts l-111' tl1is X'C2ll'.5 1 it ' . . .

Our milers showed their heels to the Portland runners. four of our men coming in before Libby, the only Portland runner to finish the race. In the American Legion meet the only event in which our men were entered was the three cornered relay with Portland and South Portland. Although we did not win the Portland Invitation meet, our boys did exceptionally well. Estes won the mile. Blocky took second place in the six hundred, and Phil Chapman got third in the hurdles. Out of nine schools, Deering placed fourth. Our final meet of the indoor season was at Bowdoin. There we met some very fast competition, being entered with schools not in our class. such as Huntington School, lslridgton Academy, and Brookline. Massachu- setts, High School. We didn't take any places in the meet. Don Prince, who deserves very much credit for his fine work during the indoor season, came near placing in the thousand yard run. BASEBALL lly FRIED C. SCRIBNIQR, JR. As the AMli'l'IIYS'1' goes to press before the baseball and spring track season get under way, it is impossible to give here any news of their suc- cess. However, it is hoped we may be forgiven if we give a little pre- season dope. Deering has entered the Telegram League. as is her custom, and Coach Lundholm hopes to form a nine which will prove a strong contender for league honors. With the help of Captain Arthur Baker, Bob Richards, and several other veterans of the diamond, the old Deering spirit should bo there.

A satisfactory and growing business justifies faith in the Eastman code, which may be stated as follows: -To distribute merchandise with the least possible expense and always at the lowest possible pr1ce is a duty. -Only good merchandise is really economical, while that of doubtful or inferior quality is extravagant at any price. -Good service is recognized by what it does rather than by what we say about it. ' -Success in great measure depends upon a loyal staff of co-workers with each one of whom the good name of Eastman's is a matter of per- sonal pride and honor. Eastman Bros. C?
