Though the material Deering may be thousands of miles away, the spirit and training we have received will be with us for- ever. The training that has embodied the ideals and principles emblematic of our alma mater will remain with us long after we have left these halls behind us. We are now separated and some of our classmates we will never see again, but we know that we shall be successful in life if we always uphold the high standard of the Purple and the White. Deering has given us everything that any high school possibly can: we have done little in return. Let us try in some small measure to repay her by making our lives a credit to the school, a credit of which she shall be proud. If we are to promote our school after our departure, and not retard it, we must shape our lives accordingly. Every member of the Class of 1929 should feel a personal responsibility of upholding the honor of Deering High forever. We owe our friend and principal, Mr. Wing, and the members of the faculty a debt We can never repay. They have done their best to make a finished product of the material we have furnished. May we prove the merits of their work. What we are to be, we are now becoming. WENDELL WHITE. The AMETHYST GP q 9 W f W , x X V ,Nu ' f ? i ' mi 1 1 , Xt KVI' X.

What a class we were then! Getting lost and settling down to a new routine, of course, was very exciting. But in three weeks we were finally all settled, after having found out that there were other things besides free afternoons in high school life. Then, in order to assume some dignity, we elected our officers for the year. The next thing that confronted us was our Freshman Reception. This was given in November with a Htting program by several members of the class. The novelty of having free afternoons having worn off, many decided to train for basketball. Margaret Chapman was captain of the girls' team, while Carl Weber led the boys. Most of the players succeeded in being placed on the second squad, and Bill Blagdon made the first team. ln baseball and debating our class was also well represented. We came back to Deering, now very dignined, and elected our ofhcers as soon as possible. This year we succeeded in turning out a fairly good football team. Art Forrestall became captain of the boys' basketball team. Several members made the second squad, while others received numerals. The girls' basketball team was a greater success than the boys'. Most of the girls on the team made the varsity squad. Other members of our class became interested in other activities. Eugene Merry was outstanding in his debating ability. The band and orchestra claimed many members of '29, and likewise the cadets and glee clubs. We began our third year with dignity approaching that of the Seniors. We were well represented in varsity football, having Carl Weber, Charles Smith, Bob Carney, and Chet Lopez on the team. The second team was reinforced by George Shackley, Mel Preble, George Jones, John McCann, Art Forrest- all, and Milton Pratt. The girls' class team was the champion team of the school. It was led by Nat Bolton. From this team Lila Andrew was picked as captain of the varsity team, and Mary Walker, Margaret Chapman, and Nat Bolton also made the Iirst team. On the track team were Larry Reynolds, Mel Preble, Bob McGonigle, Russ Shaw, and Huck Sawyer. 4Page I2 The 4-AMETHYST In the spring, we gave the Seniors a Junior Prom that will go down in history and will never be forgotten. This was a big success, and it filled us with enthusiasm for our last year. We entered our Senior year with the true Senior dignity. The varsity foot- ball team was made up mostly of Seniors. Chet Lopez was its able captain, and Art Forrestall, Bob Carney, Mill Pratt, John Hjort, Ted Kitchen, and Buck Jones were the chief members. We did not have many boys out for basketball, Art Forrestall and Tom Blake being outstanding. However, the girls made up for this. Lila Andrew was captain for a second year, and Mary Walker, Nat Bolton, Marg Chapman, and Thelma Towne were on the team. This team was an excep- tionally good team, and it tied with Cony High for the State Championship. Our varsity cross-country team, with Reynolds as captain, succeeded in winning the State Championship. Reynolds also led the indoor track team to a championship. On this team Chet Lopez, Manager Bill Galbraith, Ken Black, Bob McGonigle, Marshall Davis, Russ Shaw, Herby Jensen, Larry Reynolds, Carl Weaver and Esten Alley upheld the Senior Class. On our baseball team we have Jock McCann, captain, Chet Lopez, Ted Kitchen, Tom I-Ionan, Charles Smith, and Cliff Oberg. And so, as we finish our four years at Deering, we look back and see our accomplishments and failures. To the Juniors we give the name of Seniors, hoping that they may make a success of their fourth year. To all the underclass- men, we give some of our dignity, hoping that they will put that at compound interest so that they will have enough for their Senior year.

In whatever you do in the future we just know your enthusiasm will Win you success. EVELYN MAUDE AINSWORTH Hobby. Travel. Dramatic Club 4. Perhaps you are not acquainted with this jolly girl. lf not, it is time you were. Evelyn's specialties are traveling abroad and music. We understand that it is her lofty ambition to go to the London Conservatory. I-lere's wishing success in your career! FLORENCE BENTON ALLEN Flo, Flossyf' Tennis Z: Art Club 2, 3. Colby. Wlnen it comes to giving parties and wielding a tennis racquet. Florence is right there. She is no less a champion in the art of tinting pictures. By this art she has done much to beautify our class. But would you believe it? She doesn't care for bridge! But bridges aren't needed at Colby, n'est-ce pas? ESTEN EUGENE ALLEY Eddie, l-lobby. Track.

Sometimes he studies and sometimes he doesn't, but he is one of the star tenors in the Glee Club quartet. And also. perhaps this is more important than the other, Guy is very polite to the fair sex. They all like him. What is the secret of your charm, Guy? JANET BERRY Here is a very quiet and demure miss for you. She also is a very great asset to scholastic standing of our Deering. There- fore, we have no fear of her success in the future. We are sure that it will be as successful as her past. Good luck. Janet. VIRGINIA IRENE BERRY Gin. I-lobby. everything in general. Washington Club 4. University of Maine. She was such a quiet little thing when she first came to Deer- ing. but times have changed. Yes, they certainly have! Now Ginnia has two majors, Bowdoin and Maine. And if you want to learn how to dodge the chaperones. just ask Virginia, she knows. She's the girl who's all for co-education. but we know she'll be a success anywhere.. MILDRED SARAH BICKFORD Millie Hobbies, Skating and Drawing. Art Club 2. 3. 4: Geology Club 4: Washington Club 4. Mildred. a demure little maiden. has come with us through the years of school. and now we see her a Senior of D. H. S. and an artist of great ability. She is a quiet girl, with many friends. Yes, I said quiet. but give her a good cause and she can be as noisy as anyone. especially in her sixth period class. fPage I7 Sept. 15. .All Scotch Seniors avoid George Hawkes.

This is the boy who looks exactly like his twin brother. We never can tell which one it is when we meet them separately, so We are not sure just which has done what. lf anything. Ernest is more earnest than his brother, but maybe it is Kenneth who is earnest. KENNETH DINSMORE BLACK Blackie. Hobby, collecting films. Track 4: Glee Club 3g Washington Club 4. And here is the other boy who looks exactly like his twin brother. What can we do in a case like this? However, they both are rather quiet, but they know their lessons. One is slightly taller than the other, but we can't tell you which one. Try to tell them apart yourself, and you will lind out what a really hard time we had. THOMAS PILLSBURY BLAKE . Tommie Hobby, Basketball. Basketball l, Z. 3, Varsity 4: Glee Club 1: Washington Club 4: Cadets 1, 2, 3. 4: Advertising Manager of the AMETHYST. Northeastern. Is there anyone in the class who doesn't know Tommy? It is doubtful if there is. Tom is one of the few members of our class who excelled in basketball, and, besides his basketball ability. he has worked hard for the class as advertising manager of our year book. lf you want a good time, be sure that Tom is one of the bunch, for it is impossible to be otherwise than jolly when Tom is around. By the way, Tommy. why is it that we have seen you heading toward South Portland so often? PRISCILLA MAREA BOHNSON Cilla, Pri. Hobby, Tennis. Dramatic Club 3, 4: Debating Club 1, Z: Washington Club 4: Freshman Class Office Execu- tive Board: AMETHYST Board: Photograph Editor. Wheaton. National Honor Society. Who would think that such a petite young miss as Priscilla would have made such an efficient photographic editor of our renowned AMETHYST? Those who know Priscilla, however, should have no fears for her efhciency, for whatever she does, she does well. Her rank proves this, but if you should ever see her play tennis, swim, or make fudge, you would be convinced that she is a living exponent of efficiency. Sept. 17. Thea proposition is peace.

Here is the girl we all want to know. She has been a loyal supporter of the basketball team for her entire four years at Deer- ing, which perhaps explains her delightful ability for getting along with people. It is Nat's writing that adorns the membership certificate of the wearers of the D. Her smile and hair will light up the horizon, even on the darkest day. CURTIS WILFORD BOWKER Curt. Hobby, Stamps. Geology Club 4: Glee Club 3, 4: Class Football 3, 4. Curtis is the sandy haired chap with the ten gallon sombrero. Xvhenever you see something that looks like a tent moving down the street, don't be alarmed. it's no case for an optometrist. it's only Curtis' hat taking him out for an airing. Oh, yesl here's a hint for some enterprising inmate of 209 next year. Why not carry on the banking business that Curtis started this year? But that's what we come to school for, isn't it, to collect Ccentsl sense? Eh! Curt? MURIEL ERLA BOYKER Hobby. Writing Letters. Dramatic Club 3, 4: Debating Club I, Z: Glee Club 4: Washington Club 4: Debating Club Play 3. School of Dramatic Art. Her voice was ever soft and gentle. Quietness is expressive of our dark-haired Muriel. expressive of her disposition and character.

And this pretty young girl is our Sally. She is always sweet. always interested, always smiling. Although she is one of our college-minded girls, she manages to devote some of her time to high school activities. Whatever she does or whatever she will do, Sally will be successful. V Sept. 23.

We wish you success. and may the added dignity of a virtuoso not change your merry nature. DANIEL WILLIAM BROWN Brownie, Dan. Hobby, Track. Radio Club l, 2, 3: Wash- ington Club 4. Here is one of our seriousrminded young'men. He always wears a worried look, but perhaps it is because he never found out who that mysterious telephone call was from. Daniel is such a gay bird that he missed a very important call one afternoon and he has never been the same since. MARTHA STREETER BROWN Basketball Class 2, 3, 4: Dramatic Club 33 Debating Club l : Junior Class Office Secretary: AMETHYST Board. Normal School. Always jolly, not a pout, A splendid girl in school or out. We have often heard people ask. Who is the girl with the laughing brown eyes? and there has never been any doubt as to whom they meant. For Martha has the brownest and the most laughing eyes of all. PAUL JORDAN BROWN Brownie Dramatic Club 4: Glee Club 3: Class Play 4. Business College. Paul is the young man with the perfect wave. He seems to show a great interest in college English, although Public Speaking embarrasses him sometimes. He made a perfect butler in the class play and we wouldn't be a bit surprised to see him on Broadway soon. But whatever you do, Paul, don't wear a hat and spoil that lovely wave. Oct 12.

Dramatic Club 4: Debating Club 1, 2, 3. 4: Washington Club 4: Student Service 3. 4: Senior Class Office Secretary. National Honor Society, They say you should never judge a book by its cover. Phyllis may seem rather quiet, but her lovable personality is ever present. and has won all our hearts. One of her chief pastimes is playing bridge, but she does hate instruction in the art,-like the rest of us, If you ever need any help, just call on Phyllis, for she will be your friend, Hrst, last. and always. DORIS EVELYN BRYAN Dot. Hobby. Reading. Debating Club 3: Sophomore Class Office Vice-president: AMETHYST Board, Assistant Club Editor: Valedictorian. Gorham Normal. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Always willing to help anyone at any time with anything,- that's Doris. Most of you know Doris as the Valedictorian of our class, but her classmates know her as a true friend. TI-IELMA EVELYN BURNHAM Glee Club 2. When Thelma smiles. she looks like an ad for Pepsodcnt. That's quite a reputation for a young lady nowadays. This little girl travels way down from Steep Falls to study at Deering:- quite a walk every morning. And here is another secret. Thelma must like the seats in the library, for that is where she spends most of her afternoons. She is always good-natured and we wish her the best luck in the world. Au revoir. CHRISTINE ALTHEA BYE Chris. Hobbies, Reading and Swimming. Orchestra l, 2, 4. Here is one of those talented Bye sisters who have so often favored us with musical selections at assemblies. Christine is a violinist, and in our opinion, one of the best. We are expecting great things of her in the future. Page 2 I , K . .-ifsiilf, M . 4 '1'ni.-E Y :-' X, ,., , , J, ., I' 'WE A ' Oct. 31.

Here is a bashful boy who insists that he is a woman hater, but he has proved himself to be an excellent football player and ice man. Oh, these ice men! It is rumored that Bob has been in con- ference with Mr. Wing to decide whether or not to move the school nearer the street to save the Freshmen's energy. They'll need it, eh, Bob? DOROTHY HARRIET CASSIDY Dot, Dramatic Club 4: Glee Club 2. 3, Probably you know Dot as the brunette half of the Heavenly Twins, but Dot can hold her own without any assistance. Dot is the only girl in the class who can talk constantly, continually. and what have you about nothing in particular. She said one day. Oh, Milton, thou shouldst be living at this hour! Now, who is Milton? But that is unimportant compared to Dot's future. Whatever she does will be brilliant. We might call her the comet. MARGARET CHAPMAN Chappie. Hobby, Dancing. Basketball Class 1, Varsity 2, 3, 4: D Club 2, 3, 4: Geology Club 4: Glee Club 3: Wash- ington Club 4: Senior Class Ofhce Executive Committee: Boston School of Physical Education. National Honor Society. Marg is one of the best sports in school. She not only knows how to handle her basketballs, but also her smiles. And then, she spends her summers at Higgins Beach, which causes a good many others to go there also. The eyes of the world see our Margaret as a first rate basketball player, but we know her as a good friend. KENNETH E UGENE CHICK Chicken. Hobbies, Wine, Women and Song. Dramatic Club 4: Washington Club 4: Radio Club 1, 2, 3: AMETHYST Board, Assistant Advertising Manager. Brethren, this is the one and only orator in the third period English class. Although he is guilty of the murder of Macbeth, he has a wonderful gift of gab. It even gets beyond control sometimes. We often wonder how Dorothy stops him, but she doesn't seem to mind. Ken pursues the dramatic art but he hasn't caught up with it yet. Never mind, Kenneth, you will probably be a wonderful politician. Nou. 3. No dispute in Physics.

El espanol es la leccion de ayer. Vvlell. we won't bother you any more with that, Evelyn. We know you are a good friend. And you look splendid in green. Please wear it more. HELEN PRUDENCE COWLES Hobby. Reading. Helen has almost succeeded in keeping her past and present a dark secret, but we discovered that she likes to play bridge. And then one day our vigilance was rewarded by seeing her with a track man. And that explains why she has been to every track meet this year. And, whatever your goals may be, Helen, we sincerely hope you attain them. FLORICE COYNE Flo, Flossief' Hobby. Dancing. Glee Club 2. 3. XVell, Flossie is another of our shy, demure maidens. We hear that she has developed a strong fondness for dancing. There rnust be a good reason for it-just use your imagination. We know that Flossie will make a good stenographer for some lucky man. CATHERIN E MAYO CUMMINGS Cat. Hobby. Everything. French Club 3, Vice-president: Dramatic Club 4: Glee Club 1: Washington Club 4: Student Service l, 2, 3. Wheaton. This is the ambitious girl who may be seen every morning dashing for the 7.20 North Deering car. And she catches it! Cat certainly doesn't acquire her giggles and chatter from all those books she carries around. Anyway, we all agree that she is a good sport and a true friend. Nov. 12.

John is the boy who has perfected to a high degree the art of leaving home at ten minutes after eight in the morning and still never being late for school. That. however. is not John's only accomplishment, for he is known to be one of the best students in Mr. Bean's fifth and sixth period class of test tube breakers. John is headed for the University of Maine, and we know that he will succeed there just as he has succeeded here in Deering. Anyway, we wish you the best of luck, John, both at college and throughout your entire future. MAE CURTIS Glee Club 3: Washington Club 4. To knit and spin was once a girI's employment, But now to dress and have a beau is ull a girI's enjoyment. Mae believes otherwise, however. She has informed us that she is going to be an old maid and live in a white house on a hill with a cat and a canary. Well, good luck, Mae, and long life to the canary!

If Phil can manage the actors as well as he can the audience, we are sure Keith will have a new manager for some theater.

However. there are times and there are places when Ruth can lind time to stop and smile at a friend, so there must be some hope for us. Being busy is a sure sign that Ruth is a good worker, so we'll leave you with that recommendation. JOHN LANDER NEWBEGIN Nowbegin, Newby. Hobby. Swimming. Radio Club 1, 3. Mass.

Just go up in 208 and ask Miss Cheney for John's rank and then brace your- self for a hard blow, because John isn't satisfied with anything less than 99 for an average. We hear John is another kind of shark, also. Swimming and diving are his specialties. By the way. if you know any anarchists who want some bombs made, speak a good word for John, will you? He knows quite a little about explosives. Ask the one who stepped on one of his noisemakers up by room 227 last April. Oh. well, we've got to forgive him this time, and everybody root for John when he starts on the road to success. FLORRIE NEWTON Flossy. Hobbies, Swimming and Reading. Glee Club 3.

He is naturally quiet, but he gets there just the same. ELIZABETH CAROLYN OLIVER Betty. Hobby, Summer Sports. Debating Club 1: Glee Club 3. Do you know Elizabeth? She is a very studious and quiet young lady, but as soon as she smiles we know she is not all retired. She smiles at everyone and she is nice to everyone, which is encouraging. We would not like to think of Deering without you. But if you must leave with the rest of us. we know you will make a success. HORACE WILLIAM OLIVER HodCly.

Not only is Mel, or Mike, as he is sometimes affec- tionately called, a star track man. but also he was a member of our football team last fall. You have worked hard in high school, Mel, and we know that through the same kind of hard work and determination you will achieve success in the future. We wish you the best of luck. ROY ARNOLD PRICE Football Class 3: Baseball 3: D Club 4: Geology Club 4: Glee Club 3: Band 2. Who's the big fellow with the curly hair? Only a freshman would ask that question, because everyone knows Roy. He has won a couple of letters in baseball and he has proved a big help to the team. We would have had another good guard last fall if Roy hadn't been forced out of the game on account of an injury. But, no one has ever heard him complain about bad luck. This is what makes him so well liked by everyone. If you want to make a sincere friend, just call around and meet Roy. His sin- cerity and willingness make us doubly assured of his success after he leaves Deering. PHILOMENE PROFENNO Phil, Philly. Hobby, Driving my Ford CLizaiej.

The next in linel This year has been very suc- cessful for the Juniors. In every activity the Juniors have been very g much in evidence. The orchestra and the band contain many of the illustrious Class of '30, In the Dramatic Club play, The Man Higher Up, three juniors, Phyllis Meehan, Doris Baker, and Florence French, took prom- inent part, which they portrayed well. Elizabeth Farrington, Nathaniel Has- kell, and Eva Bisbee did their part in debating. The girls' class basketball team won the inter-class championship. There were Hfteen junior girls who were placed on the varsity squad. Those who received their letters were Helen Orr, Lydia Titcomb, Barbara Payson, Ruth Chambers, and Florence Jensen. Florence Jensen was placed on the all-star con- ference team. All these girls were brilliant players and were a credit to the Junior Class. The boys' football team, under the care of Carl Weber, won the inter-class championship. Several of the Juniors received letters in varsity football. They were Ken McKiniry, Don Favor, and Tait Williams. The boys' basketball team also went through a good season. The varsity team was made up mostly of Juniors. Those who received the coveted letter were Ken lVlcKiniry, Murphy Jordan, Ray Davis, Tait Williams, Don Favor, Loring Mann, and the team's capable manager, Carl Weber. When the boys' conference team was picked, Tait Williams was well chosen for a defensive position. The QAMETHYST 5Page 63 The track team contained many Juniors, also. They formed the nucleus of the indoor track squad. The Junior class team won the inter-class meet. Charles Brown, John Peterson, Jack Eaton, Palmer Peterson, and Neal Skillings won letters in indoor track, while in the fall, George Libby Qcaptain-electj and Sher- man Irving won Cross-Country Letters. On the baseball team we find that George Geer and Jake Plummer occupy positions on Freddy It-Iall's veteran baseball team. Both have won their letters before in this sport.

As green as the grass in the meadow, We're dumb, that's you and me, For we means just the Freshmen, The inferiority. But even as freshies, were we so bad? At least we followed the usual pro- gram. We elected our class oliicers, who were, Bertha Crocker, President: Philip Rhodes, Vice-President: Barbara Rankin, Secretary: Horace Sheesley, Treasurer. Then we gave an undeniably successful Freshman Reception. Now we are sophomores and we are impatient to tell you what we have accomplished this year. Early last fall class officers were elected. Now, being one of the upper three, the sophomores set to work with zeal to make their class an illustrative example of achievement. The extra fine talent of the sophs was first exhibited in football. The soph- omore football men, determined and loyal fighters for Deering, although men of the second squad this year, will iight through to lirst team. Field hockey, a new sport for the girls of our school, was enthusiastically supported by the sophomores. In basketball both the girls' and the boys' teams were something to be proud of. Most of the candidates for boys' basketball made the second team. Four of the girls, Elizabeth Lincoln, Isabel Hodgkins, Marie Monahan and Reta Rob- inson were elected to the varsity, while the majority of the other candidates made the second squad. Bob Estes is an example of the sophomore strength in track. Who is that we hear talking a steady stream? Peggy Perkins, of course, the sophomore debater. She made the Bates League and was considered the best speaker in the debate with South Portland. Now she has her second D, em- blematic of her efforts and success. BH Crocker and public speaking! The two are inseparable. We are all proud of our busy Bee. It is our aim to make our junior year an even greater achievement than this, our sophomore year.

Q23 ln all HLH SA .L The C-AMETHYST fPage 73 FOOTBALL Although the 1928 football season was not successful, perhaps, in the way of victories, it was successful in many other ways. Coach Harvell has intrenched himself firmly in the hearts of the student body and the football men. With new material with which to start-only three boys had ever been in competitive sports before-he molded together a team that was hailed by all its opponents and the critical fans as a team with fight. Whether winning or losing that magnetic word was always used. Except for the last game on Thanksgiving Day, the Purple Team gave all their opponents a hard, close battle. WINSLOW O. DEERING 6 The Deering High School football team, green and inexperienced, met stiff opposition in its opening game, but, thanks to Don Favor, who snatched a fumbled ball from the air and ran 53 yards for the only touchdown of the game, it managed to win, 6 to O. The game was a typical Hirst game. Neither team made brilliant deceptive plays, but resorted to straight running football. Lopez bore the greater part of the offense work, but was ably assisted by Wil- liams and Hjort, who showed promise of developing into good ball carriers. WATERVILI,E 6, DEERING 0 Revenge was deeply rooted in the hearts of the Waterville cohorts at the defeat of the team of their sister city, Winslow, as they invaded the Deering football field. But it seemed as though they were to be deprived of their pur- pose as the Purple eleven made up for their inexperience by presenting as scrappy a team as has been seen in many a year. The inevitable had to happen, however, and, in the closing minutes, a Deering back fumbled on his own four-yard line. After two attempts the ball was rushed over the line for the only score. Thus it was that by the same break as the team had won their first game they lost their second. Favor, Williams and Jones played a good game in the line while Lopez played well in the backfield. PORTLAND 14, DEERING 6 Knowing how to take advantage of the breaks has won more than one football game. Portland High Schools veteran grid team, sweeping into the suburbs for the Hrst time in history, proved this when they capitalized the two errors of the purple warriors, one a fumble, the other an intercepted pass, and scored two touchdowns. It was an interesting game throughout. Pratt thrilled the crowd by making a clever eighty-yard dash from the kick-off to make Deer- ing's only score. Favor, recently shifted to halfback, and Lopez were the offen- sive stars. In the line McCann, O'Neil and Carney were bulwarks of strength. THORNTON ACADEMY 6, DEERING 0 Playing one of the nnest defensive games seen in a long time the aggressive Deering football team surprised the fans when they held the champion Thorn- ton Academy team to a 6 to O score. The Purple line was impregnable. Mc- Kinery was a stonewall, and he was aided nobly by the scrappy guards, Jones and McCann. In the last few minutes the Deering team started a thrilling pass- ing attack and carried the ball from their own thirty-yard line to Thornton's six-yard mark. Here a very untimely pass was grounded over the goal line, and the chance of winning the game was gone. Carney was outstanding at tackle, and the whole Deering line played a hard, fast game. wage 74 2 The e-AMETHYST BIDDEFORD 12, DEERING 0 That a good big man is better than a good little man was shown when the Biddeford forward Wall crushed the tired Deering line and opened up huge holes for their backs to pierce and romp to a victory. The Purple team was sadly Outclassed. On the offense little gain could be made through the stonewall resistance of the Biddeford line, and the passing attack that had shown so well agaliiist Thornton, failed to work. Mcliinery was outstanding for his hard tac ing. EDWARD LITTLE 25, DEERINO 0 The very clever Edward Little football team invaded Deering and returned home with a large victory. Our team was clearly outplayed in all positions during the entire game. However, Mcliinery made excellent tackles, and O'Neil, playing his first game in the fullback position, did very well. SOUTH PORTLAND 20, DEERING 6 During the first half of the game, Deering played very well. Williams recovered a fumble and ran sixty-five yards for the first touchdown of the game. Soon after Hjort ran fifty yards but was unable to make another score. How- ever, during the second half, South Portland scored three hard-fought touch- downs. Lopez, Williams, Carney, McCann and McKinery carried the Purple honors. WESTBROOK 7, DEERING 13 During the first quarter, Deering lost their hopes of a touchdown by a fumble. In the second quarter Hjort scored our first touchdown by running through center. Lopez also scored by making an excellent eighty-five yard run in the third quarter. Just before the end of the game a Westbrook man recov- ered a fumble by a Deering man and scored their first touchdown, Kitchen. Forrestall, and Williams played well in the line while O'Neil and Lopez were the running stars. MORSE 0, DEERING 45 During the first quarter Deering scored thirteen points. Prom then on they had their own way. The line broke up the Morse team, while the backs ran off- tackle and romped around the ends, using baffling passes. The whole team played well, and McKinery, Lopez, Favor, O'Neil, Shackley, and Williams were the shining lights. PORTLAND 42, DEERINO 0 With a powerful line, a fast, hard-running backfield, and deceptive plays, the Portland High School football team rolled to a brilliant victory over Deer- ing on Thanksgiving Day. The Deering players were hopelessly Outclassed, but it cannot be said that they were out-fought. They were completing a long, hard season, and, because there had been no substitutes to take their places when they had been tired on the preceding games, they had been compelled to play on. In this last game of the season they were completely tired out and could not give their best-but they fought on and gave all they had--even in defeat. Those receiving D's in recognition of their service during the 1928 sea- son are: Carney '29, McKinery '30, Favor '30, Captain Lopez '29, Captain- Elect Williams '30, Porrestall '29, Shackley '29, Kitchen '29, McCann '29, Jones '29, O'Neil '32, Preble '29, Pratt '29, Manager Hawkes '29.

Wil- liams and lVlcKinery were the shining lights. Jordan played a great defensive game and broke up play after play. BIDDEFORD 18, DEERING 17 In one of the most thrilling games witnessed for years, Deering was de- feated by Biddeford in the Biddeford gymnasium only after four three-minute overtime periods. The game was exciting throughout and often resembled foot- ball more than basketball. McKinery was outstanding for the Purple. ' MORSE 13, DEERING 14 Taking the lead in the Hrst quarter, the team clung to it until the finish, winning for the first time in the season. Williams did well defensively while McKinery was the spark plug of the offense. THORNTON 22, DEERING 25 The fighting Purple reversed the outcome on their former conquerors, Thornton Academy. In the opening quarter Mcliinery thrilled the crowd by dribbling the length of the floor to score a goal. Williams, Jordan, and McKin- ery were the stars of the contest. BIDDEFORD 17, DEERINO 21 Deering emerged from the cellar of the Southwestern Maine Conference by,defeating Biddeford after a closely contested game. This victory was the third consecutive one for our team. Jordan and Williams were the high scorers of the Deering team. BANGOR 38, DEERINO 33 ' In a fast game that was featured by foul shooting, Deering lost to Bangor. McKinery was the star performer upon the free throw .line, making seven shots out of seven attempts. Favor and Davis shown brilliantly by their floor work. SOUTH PORTLAND 53, DEERING 14 The State Champions took another game from us in a one-sided battle. Until Mcliinery was taken out on fouls the game was interesting, but thereafter it was merely a question of how large the score was to be. PORTLAND 34, DEERING 8 Fighting hard for the first quarter, Deering held Portland to a one-point lead, but from then on the Blue forged ahead. McKinery was the spark plug of the team and kept the boys trying every minute, but they could not cope with Portland's dazzling passing attack. Those receiving letters are: Captain Kenneth Mcliinery, Captain-Elect Talton Williams, Thomas Blake, Arthur Forrestall, George Jordan, Loring Mann, and Donald Favor. Only Blake and Forrestall will be lost by graduation, leaving prospects for a better season next year. - 'The QJMETHYST 5Page 77 1 N GIRLS' BASKETBALL J DXLEVEN victories and one loss marked our girls' basketball schedule for 1929, when Coach McKechnie produced one of the highest scoring outfits ever turned out at Deering. We lost our game to Cony, 18-16, but our other victories more than make up for this one black mark. ALUMN.-4E 14, VARSITY 23 The season opened oflicially on December 28, when the team, led by Lila Andrews, vanquished the strong Alumnae sextet. GREELY 5, DEERING 40 ' The next week, the Purple six played the first scheduled game of the season with Greely. Leading from the first, our girls romped unmolested to a victory. SANFORD 5, DEERING 40 Sanford High came up to visit us the next week with the purpose of defeat- ing us, but they went home without accomplishing their high goal, but We liked their good spirit. AUBURN M. S. C. 7, DEERING 68 The week following. Auburn M. S. C. traveled to Deering, where they were defeated 7-68. In this game the substitutes proved their ability, by helping us lift our score. SOUTH PORTLAND 21, DEERING 26 The first real test of the season came with South Portland. It was perhaps one of the fastest games played on our Hoot, at least, the fans seemed to think so. For three periods the Deering girls kept just ahead of the fast South Portland team, but in the fourth, Lila found the basket, and led us to a 26 to 21 victory. Nat Bolton and Florence Jensen proved apowerful defense. fPage 78 The QAMETHYST MORSE ll, DEERING 29 The Deering lassies again came out with a big victory. Again subs received much praise. Capt. Andrews and Mary Walker had no difliculty in shooting, and Nat and Florence amused themselves by taking the ball away from their opponents. PORTLAND 9, DEERING 37 No one who witnessed it can ever forget this Portland-Deering game. From the start our girls played heads up basketball, and looked like a million dollars. Every player on the team starred under the leadership of Capt. Andrews. Q CONY 15, DEERING 21 On February 16 the Purple lassies went to Augusta, for the express pur- pose of defeating Cony. They did this piece of work very well. Deering was surprised, however, to find such a rugged, fast team in Augusta. SANFORD l l, DEERING 43 The next week Deering again vanquished the Sanford lassies, but this time on their own floor. This was the unlucky week that we found we were to lose our valuable forward, Mary Walker, for the season. SOUTH PORTLAND 18, DEERING 25 Desperately fighting in the game which meant so much to both teams. South Portland bowed to Deering in a defeat of 25 to 18. This was the greatest battle of the entire year. Capt. Andrews, Helen Orr, Lydia Titcomb, and Barb Payson did their part by scoring and clever playing. In the center Margaret Chapman and Ruth Chambers consistently grabbed the ball from their oppo- nents, enabling .the forwards to score, while the guards played the best defensive game of the season. CONY 18, DEERING 16 After the South Portland game hard luck seemed to come to the team for a week, for Cony defeated the Deering lassies on our Hoor. Shots which seemed destined to go through the hoop rolled over the edge consistently. Our girls just had an off day, with the exception of Elizabeth Wescott and Nat. PORTLAND 9, DEERING 14 The season closed on March 23, when Deering defeated the Blue. The whole team consisted of substitutes, with the exception of Nat. At the end of the half, Coach McKechnie sent Capt. Andrews and Chappie in to play their last game for Deering. Portland was powerless to break up the Purple opposition, even though their struggle was nerce. Throughout the season Capt. Lila Andrews has shown her wonderful leadership, and spirit, by carrying her team through one of the hardest seasons of many years. She has had no other thought than to give her best for her team and school. It is hard to realize that Deering will lose her. It is to Coach McKechnie that by far the largest part of the success of the year is due. Her struggle has not been easy, for she did not have all champion- ship material. No one realizes how much time and effort she has spent for the benefit of her team. And now we wish the very best of luck to her and the basketball team of 1930. The girls who received letters are: Captain Lila Andrews '29, Natalie Bolton '29, Mary Walker '29, Margaret Chapman '29, Thelma Towne '29, Ruth Chambers '30, Helen Orr '30, Lydia Titcomb '30, Florence Jensen '30, and Elizabeth Wescott '32.

'fPage 82 The QAMETHYST CROSS - COUNTRY Deering has once again upheld its tradition in Cross-Country by not losing a race to a school in its class. When Coach Harvell gave the call, a large squad turned out. among which were two varsity letter men. Using these as a nucleus, and the class trackmen as a source of supply, Coach Harvell built up a team that ran away with the State Championship with an exceptionally low score of 22 points. Out of a field of 56 starters at the State Meet, Deering placed her men l, 2, 3, 5, 9, respectively, to win the championship. In the last meet of the season, Marshall Davis, schoolboy champion of Maine, broke the Deering course record by 23 seconds-running the course in 16:32-the old record being 16:55. Pressing him closely were Libby and Ricker, Deering men who also finished under the old record. The record of the team is as follows: University of Maine Freshmen 20, Deering 35: Hebron Academy 19, Deering 39: Canton High School 38, Deering 18: Gorham Normal School , Deering l9: State Meet Cfirst placej, Deering 22. ' The letter men for the 1928 season are Captain Lawrence Reynolds, Cap- tain-Elect George Libby, Norman Ricker, Marshall Davis, Robert Estes, Daniel Rose and Sherman Irving. Of these only Reynolds, Davis and Ricker will be lost by graduation, leav- ing iine prospects for another successful year in 1929. The QAMETHYST GPage 83 TENNIS HE tennis team got away to an early start this spring and should see 'Y a great deal of action before June 8. This early start is made possible by the cement court. Although only one player is left who has had experience, many more are striving for the remaining positions on the team. Those who are expected to make the rest of the team are Edward Haggett, '29, Robert Adams, '30, Nathaniel Haskell, '30, and Lawrence Stoddard, '3l. Letters are to be awarded to those of the team who play half the games. This will be the first year letters will have been awarded. Although a definite schedule has not been made, two matches will be played with Hebron and two with Portland. Another match will probably be played with Edward Little High.

The membership is voluntary, one student representing each home room. The purpose of this organization is to make known the wishes of the stu- dents to the principal, Mr. Wing, and vice versa: to act as ushers: to collect attendance slips: to do errands for the office: and to act as guides for new pupils and visitors. This club has completed its eleventh year of service, and has followed well its motto, To serve. THE GEOLOGY CLUB By JOHN H. PHILLIPS President, STEWART SAWYER Vice-President, MARGARET CHAPMAN Secretary, ROGER TURNER HIS club, which was formed in 1921, is becoming one of the most outstanding organizations of the school. The first meeting of this X' school year was held late in September for the election of officers. The club has been on many trips this year, including the following: Mt. Chocorua, Salmon Falls, Mt. Apatite CAuburn, Mainej, and a trip is being planned for an overnight excursion to Mt. Washington. The organization is composed mostly of Earth Science students, but anyone is eligible to join. At the present time there are about thirty members, with Mr. Emmons as our faculty advisor. T092 S6 The QAMETHYST 14110 ,. .

The officers were elected, - special committees were chosen, and programs were arranged immediately. The object of this club is, as stated by the constitution, to create an interest in dramatics and to gain a better knowledge of the art of acting. At each meet- ing an entertainment is given or a short play is presented. Under Miss Hueston's direction, each member has an opportunity to learn a role in a play, the best means of interpretation of this role, and stage directions. Among the plays that were presented were AThe Man Higher Up, the annual Dramatic Club play, and A Marriage Proposal at the club's assembly. As a gift to the school the club gave, from the proceeds of the annual play, the velvet curtains on our stage. She was only the janitor's daughter, but she swept him off his feet. The QAMETHYST fPage 89 ' NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY HE National Honor Society has found a place at Deering that gives it a prestige comparable only to Phi Beta Kappa in college. To be I selected by the faculty committee for this coveted honor, one must possess certain qualities of leadership and character that are outstanding and be of real service to his high school. In addition, and one of the important factors, he must rank in the first third of his class. Not more than fifteen percent can be selected for this honor. Deering High School was the Hrst school in the state to receive a charter to this society, and our own principal was one of the organizers of it, and is also a member of the National Council. Those chosen as members from the class of 1929 are: William Galbraith Phyllis Browne Natalie Bolton Arlene Harris Mary Walker Priscilla Bohnson Jack Dillon Marshall Davis Doris Favor Carl Weaver George Jones Norman Ricker Wendell White Katherine Shaw Lilla Andrew Herbert Jensen Margaret Chapman GPU99 90 The MMETHYST DEERING HIGH DEBAT ING SEASON J HIS year, owing to the adoption of a new plan, Deering was repre- -sented in but one state league, that sponsored by Bates College. Invita- . tions came from other leagues, but new plans for the future would not permit a heavier schedule, though another year may enable us to take on another league series. F In the Bates league Deering represented both sides of the question Resolved, l'hat the United States should cease to protect by armed force capital invested in the Caribbean except after formal declaration of war. Our affirmative team lost the decision, while our negative team won. This seemed to be the general run of the decisions on this question. However, in these debates, in accordance with a general policy to afford a broader opportunity to secure debating experience, every class in school, from freshman to senior, was represented on these teams. Each member gave the best that was in him and gained experiences that will be of real value later. H h As a member of the National Forensic League, Deering continues to main- tain IES place and has added some members who have gained enough points to secure the coveted League membership. The teams were privileged to accept an invitation of the Portland Lions Club to present a debate before that organization one noon. It was evident that the students were well accepted, and everyone seemed to acclaim the benefits of the work for the students. , Those representing the school in interscholastic debates were Arlene Harris, Margaret Perkins, Nathaniel Haskell and Ogilvie Harrison. DEBATING CLUB President, PHYLLIS BROWNE Vice-President. MARGARET PERKINS Secretary, CHRISTINE KNIGHT Treasurer, LOUISE SAWYER Faculty Advisor. H. E. BIDDLE HE Debating Association of Deering High School presented a pro- gram of activities this year within the association itself that was rather outstanding. Members attended the meetings without any idea of obli- gation outside of their personal desires and interest in debating and the work of the organization. This helped much, because there was no dead wood to carry. Every meeting offered a worthwhile and varied program that was inter- esting to the audience and full of valuable experience for the participants. The annual entertainment was given by the club on March l5th and was an innovation in that we secured the best of outside talent in Dr. Henry Lawrence Southwick, President of Emerson College of Oratory, Boston. Dr. Southwick read The'Rivals, by Sheridan, and a highly appreciative audience bespoke the fullest interest in the splendid interpretation by Dr. Southwick. It is hoped that the club may again at some future date continue its cultural program so Well begun under these auspicious circumstances. 4 The CAMETHYST 6Page 91 THE ANTIQUE CLUB By LUCILLE DUNTON HE Antiquarians were organized last October by Mrs. Baker, for the -g purpose of studying antiques. The club holds its regular meetings in Room 119. The members keep Scrapbooks and programs on various subjects: Staffordshire Pottery: the different kinds of furniture, as Chippendale, Hepplewhite, and Sheraton: Colonial glass, including Wistarburg and Sand- wich: Colonial Jewelry: Paisley Shawls: Coverlets: and Clocks. The Club made several trips to interesting places during the winter. First, they visited Mrs. Wing's winter home: the studio of Carl Von Rydingsvaard, the most famous wood carver in the world: the Maine Historical Society: Old Bailey House Antique Shop: Swett Memorial Museum: F. O. Bailey's: and The Treasure House. On April 4, the members of the Club, dressed in Colonial costumes, gave a Tea and Exhibit in the Home Economics suite, having as their guests the faculty and parents of the members.

The varsity letter men who make up the club have worked hard to achieve their purpose of advancing interest in school activities, and keeping students participating in sports. The club has done such work as establishing a standard of awards for the school and buying and setting out four hundred trees to surround the athletic field. ' The club sponsored an athletic assembly. lt also bought a large score board for the football Held, and conducted the annual Thanksgiving Dance for the football team very successfully. This spring the club conducted the election of our second Mayor and the Mayor's Day Rally. THE GLEE CLUB By RUTH FULLERTON C HIS year's Glee Club, although of a limited number, has done an admirable piece of work. From its members, a double quartet, which 7 has sung over the radio, has been organized. This quartet, together with the rest of the chorus. has put on a musical assembly, and entertained the Path- finder's .Club at one of its meetings. Also the chorus has participated in one of the Christmas concerts at City Hall. A big event of the year was a joint program with the D. H. S. Orchestra, which was very well received. The chorus has worked hard and faithfully, and, with the earnest coopera- tion of Miss Chase, has accomplished a great deal. Although we are sorry to lose any members with the graduating class, we have some splendid material with which to start work in the coming year. Students who enoy singing are invited to enroll in the Glec Club as soon as possible. We are hoping, with the assistance of the Dramatic Club, to stage an operetta next Fall. Join the ranks of those who are striving for a larger and better chorus next year. 613099 94 The 4-AMETHYST fi 1 ,T' ' ,M Q' THE ORCHESTRA By MOLLIE W.

How many T times we hear the speakers at these assemblies praise the orchestra! The Freshman Reception is the nrst important event in the school year for which the orchestra plays. Here one first gains an insight into the fine repertoire of these musicians. Later, the Dramatic Club Play, Senior Class Play, and many outside programs are courteously aided by the orchestra. The greatest event in the season for the orchestra is the annual concert. At this time the ensemble ability and the solo playing is finely demonstrated. The concert this year was a remarkable success. To add to the enjoyment, a dance followed. Graduation time means that our class will march in proudly. Here, we notice especially the playing of the orchestra. Playing for our first assembly, and also at our last meeting-it remains a worthy memory of Deering.

A The MMETHYST Wage 95 THE BAND By JOHN H. PHILLIPS HE season of 1929 has been the most successful that the band has had for several years. Under the leadership of our faculty member, Mr. Stack, and the expert instruction of Mr. Frank Rigby, the band has entertained at social occasions throughout the city. As many of its members anticipate returning, the band should maintain the same standard next year. In the fall, the band played at many football games. Then, we played at the Y. M. C. A., State Boys' Convention at the Eastland Hotel, the Father and Son banquet at Clark Memorial Church. a play at Woodfords Congregational Church, at many of the home basketball games, at many assemblies, and at a meeting of the PathHnder's Club in our auditorium. There are now thirty members in the band. Taye 96 The QAMETHYST 4 THE CADETS By GEORGE HAWKES HEN the Class of 1929 entered Deering, the Cadet Corps was at its lowest ebb. At one time during that year the corps had only thirteen members. During the past four years, under the supervision of Captain Karl V. Palmer, the Corps has gradually grown in popularity with the student body. The present corps has an enrollment of nearly seventy men. At the Cadet Ball for the past two years, Deering has won the coveted Company Cup. This is the most important cup offered for competition. In 1928 Company D of Deering, under the command of Captain Howard Hans- come, won this cup. This year this cup was won by Company A of Deering, under the command of Captain Newell Cole. The Cadets make three public appearances each year: The Cadet Ball in April. the Patriots' Day Parade, and the Memorial Day Parade. The Cadet Ball this year was a great success. The drill was excellent, and the number of sup- porters was a great deal larger than ever before. The corps will go into camp at Fort Leavitt, Cushing's Island, at the close of school. There have been two such camps held there in the past three years, and the spot proves an ideal location. Many of the officers have had training at a C. M. T. C. camp. while others have been in the corps four years. The majority of this year's commissioned officers will be lost by graduation, but there are several non-commissioned oflicers who are well prepared for commissioned duty. The personnel this year includes: Major Milton Pratt, commanding the Deering battalion: Captain Howard Hanscome, Regimental Adjutant: Captain George Hawkes, Personnel Adjutant: Captain Newell Cole, commanding Com- pany A g Captain Robert Jordan, commanding Company D : First Lieuten- ants Edward Blossom and Robert Smith: Thomas Blake, Battalion Adjutant: Second Lieutenants William MacLeod and Clark Chapman, Jr.: Stillman Rob- inson, Supply Officer. Barber: Wet or dry, Madam? Miss Reed: Never mind my politics, comb my hair. The MMETHYST fPage 97 WASHINGTON CLUB Horace Greeley's admonition to the young men of his time to go west is perhaps not heeded to any complete extent by the seniors at Deering. This is possibly due to the fact that the sage editor's advice was directed to young men and a large percentage of the class are girls. Mr. Emmons, in the role of Horace, each year tells the members of the school Qparticularly seniorsl to save their pennies and go south. Of course Washington is the apparent destination, but the ensuing days find the Washington Club members as far south as the Luray Caverns in Virginia. As has been intimated, Mr. Emmons took his usual. place as conductor, with Miss Alice P. Hall, Miss Esther Tyler, H. F. Biddle and Fred. Hall as chaperons. Instead of going to Boston by bus, as hitherto, the party wentaby train. This gave them time for a sight-seeing ride around the Hub and a visit to the famous Museum containing the marvelous glass flowers. To New York via the Fall River boat proved nothing startling, though some of the members of the party contributed to Neptune's Banquet. Immediately upon arrival in New York the party motored to Jersey City, where they boarded the train for the City of Brotherly Love. Here we visited the mammoth building of the Curtis Publishing Company and Independence Hall, where rests the old Liberty Bell. Lunch at C1reen's Restaurant took the undivided attention of all, as We had breakfast about five a.m. ln the afternoon a sight-seeing trip by bus through the city proved interesting, and we returned just in time to catch our train to Washington. Washington always looks inviting, and it didn't go back on its reputation this Saturday evening as we arrived in time for supper. The weather was delight- ful, but most of the party were tired enough to be satisfied with a little shopping tour to the souvenir stores and the thrill of sending cards home. Sunday morning was a little rainy, but it didn't interfere at all with the sight-seeing trip through the city and the visit to Zoological Gardens, which were much enjoyed. In the afternoon the American Red Cross Building and the Corcoran Art Galleries were visited, and the students received a real thrill in each of these. The war exhibits in the former particularly interested the visitors. Sunday night a visit' to the Library of Congress fully repaid the tourists, not only because of the beauty of the interior architecture, but also because of the splendid things it contained. Among these was the original Declaration of Independence, now covered with yellow glass to hinder the damaging inroads of light. The balance of the week was spent in two all-day trips-one to Mt. Ver- non, the home of Washington, where his remains and those of Mrs. Washington now rest. From Mt. Vernon the trip to Washington was made up the broad Potomac by boat. Another day was spent on the trip to Annapolis, where a competent guide took us through all the places of interest, including the great swimming pool, which is kept in condition by the effects of ultra-violet rays that penetrate the waters. Taye 98 The QAMETHYST From Washington the party made its way directly to New York City by train, but arrived too late to make any particular use of the afternoon. In the evening a trip to Chinatown and its ancient theatre gave a thrill that was appre- ciated by everyone. Here also one of the Chinese shops was visited and many purchases made. Some of the party elected to go to Roxy's Theatre, but most of them wished they could go to both places at the same time-they both had their lure. Friday morning the party went to Grant's Tomb along Riverside Drive, thence to Columbia University, ending at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, where there was just time for the Egyptian Collection. After lunch the party went by bus on a sight-seeing trip through Wall Street and lower New York, with the Battery and the Aquarium as the destination. The number and variety of different kinds of fish kept the attention of the travelers for a couple of hours. From here they went to the Fall River Boat by bus and embarked at four-thirty for Boston. Arriving in the Hub about nine-thirty and in the Sunrise City about eleven-thirty, the crowd quickly scattered as they were met by their parents and friends. Everyone agreed that the trip was one of the best ever and hopes that next year's class will find their trip equally enjoyable. PHILATELIC ASSOCIATION By BoND M. PERRY Pfeslidenf, PHILIP RHODES Vice-President, GEORGE BROCKWAY Secretary and Treasurer, BOND M. PERRY Corresponding Secretary, BETTY EREESE Auctioneer, GEORGE BROCKWAY Program Chairman, DORRANCE COLEMAN HE Deering High Philatelic Association was started by a group of students in February, 1928, for the purpose of furthering interest in the world's greatest hobby, stamp collecting. Under the supervision of Mr. Ochampaugh a club collection was started and interesting programs were conducted by the members. A similar association of twenty members was reorganized this year with Mr. Peterson as faculty advisor and custodian of the club collection. Any student in the school is eligible for membership. Meetings are held every Wednesday noon in room lOl. Interesting talks are given by the members, contests are conducted, and auctions are held. A time is allotted at each meeting for the sale and exchange of stamps. In May an exhibition of stamps was placed in the library in an effort to interest more students in philately and to increase membership in the club.

And 1 0 . , , z . . . 1 , le fPage 102 The QAMETHYST Dickie was rarely seen outside of his territory in the upper part of the house. Nurse knew what was best for Master Dick and her own position, and as she had to work for her living, Dickie was fast becoming a stranger to his own Dad and Mums. For six months they had been seeing nothing of him. Frances had even stopped kissing him good-night except on the occasional evening when she was not going out. Tom was as grumpy and irritated as ever, and on the two occasions when Dickie had ventured to climb into the man's lap, he had been set down on the floor rather brusquely and told to run along. I Wonder why parents always tell their children to run along ? Dickie caught cold-just like that. Then he had pneumonia, and the dictor came and shook his head in his most learned manner. I-le sent for a trained nurse and lots of medicine, and he told Nurse that the boy's parents ought to be there. He said this in such a terrible tone that Nurse sent for Tom at the ofiice and brought Frances home from a perfectly tht-r-illing tea dance. The doctor stayed on into the evening, and as he was a family physician, he did not hesi- tate to tell Tom and Frances what he thought of their leaving Dickie to Nurse's care all the time. The crisis came at eleven. At half past- God, what a half hour -Dick was on his Way to recovery. If this were a good story, there would be a touching scene of tearful recon- ciliation between the parents. There was nothing of the sort. They were intensely practical about it all. Really, Tom, we must spend a little time with Dickie: I think we've been neglecting him shamefully. Perhaps if we were here together evenings- Righto, Fran, we ought to play with the kid a bit. I-low about having him come down to breakfast with us, what? If this were a good story we would have another touching scene,-this time a picture of the happy family as they gathered around the breakfast table- but I should have Warned you in the first place that this is not a good story.
