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.

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.
