STEVENS, JI2. Associate Editor Adviser LAUIQENCE WI-IITTEMORE LINWOOD S. ELLIOTT Dedication The main ollice at Deering, through its personnel, acts as the clearing house for the entire school. Through it pass pupils, teachers, parents, and the outside world. The personnel must be carefully chosen for they act as intermediaries between pupil and teacher, parent and principal. They must be kind but firm, understanding and sympa- thetic, patient, courteous, diplomatic, and without gullibility. For many years Miss Stahl has held this diflicult and strategic position with marked success. If Miss Stahl needed tangible proof of the respect and admiration of graduates, the innumerable letters of appreciation sent her by our men in service would be a rich testimonial. Her sincerity, her devotion to duty, her loyalty are characteristics worthy of admiration and emulation. We, the Class of 1946, as an expression of our respect, are proud to dedicate our AMETHYST to Miss Carrie B. Stahl. A TQLTUN rn. V!

MCLEAN AGNES STEVENS Senior Class History The class of 1946 entered Deering with much confusion and bewilder- ment, but after much heckling from our upperclassmen we managed to adjust ourselves to the routine as many have done before us. Although we were deprived of a Freshman Reception, we managed to make friends with our teachers. Our first president was William Leavitt, assisted by Lorene Andersen, vice president, Eugene Wells, treasurer, and Jocelyn Frost, secretary. Our most promising athletes of that year were Bill Edes, Bob Orr, Bob Brooks, Tommy Aceto, Eugene Sturgeon, Dick Gimbel, and Chester Holmes. In our sophomore class, we were again led by Bill Leavitt, with Pat Hanson, vice president, Bob Orr, treasurer, and Lorene Andersen, secre- tary, assisting him. This year we were especially proud of our girls' basketball team with such able-bodied girls as Helen Andrew, Rita Lee, Dot johnson, and Millie Wight. Field Hockey, too, claimed such steadies as Betty Marshall, Helen Tighe and Millie Wight. Our junior year we were guided by President Tom Aceto, Vice President Jane Fitzgerald, Treasurer Bill Edes, and Secretary Millicent Wight. Cheerleaders chosen this year from our junior class were Pat Hanson, jane Fitzgerald, Rupert Westcott, and Carl Barker. Our greatest talent of the stage was Doug Duperreault, Pat Hanson, Jocey Frost, Carl Barker, and Ray Earls. The Student Council has prospered under the capable hands of Richard Karcher. Dick also holds the position of Major in Cadets. Amethyst and Ram-Blings,', too, have prospered under the guidance of Van Stevens and Edward Graham respectively. Class election of officers for the senior class brought forth Albert Goon, president, Edward Hanley, vice president, Dick Gimbel, treasurer, and Beverly Gallagher, secretary. We wish to express our thanks to our faculty advisors Mr. Arad Linscott and Mr. Amos Hawkes, for their valuable advice and assistance throughout our stay at Deering.

CLASS OF NINETEEN FORTY-SEVEN CLASS OF NINETEEN FORTY-SEVEN Junior Class History A highlight this year has been the held of sports with such prominent players as Ricky Hall, Eddie Rogers, Bernie Larsen, and Bob Roberts in football. Basketball has brought back such proven players as Frankie Goodie and Ricky Hall, while promising newcomers were recognized by Coach Cottrell. Baseball and track also claimed many of the junior boys. In spite of this large participation in the various extra curricula activities, we have maintained a high scholastic average. Much credit is due those of our class whose names have consistently appeared on the honor roll since entering Deering. In girls' sports, basketball was outstanding, having had a most successful season with the strong playing of Betty Baade and Susie Cottrell, both Juniors essential to the team. Frannie Blanchard, Elaine McFarland, Alice Hildreth, Frannie Munson, and Marilyn Prescott also were promising material for next year's team. During the fall, hockey is the major sport, while tennis, badminton, archery, softball and riding met with enthusiasm during the rest of the year. In many of the Student Council activities you will see juniors like Larry Whittemore, Joan Josslyn, Dorrine McMahon, and Chick Ammon doing their part in promoting school spirit. The literary work of Connie Brackett, Helen Bernstein, Beverly Pitman, Phyllis Dame and Judy Plumly was recognized by the Writers' Club. In the line of dramatics we have Nadine Finberg, Elwood Beech, and Joan Hartley who have appeared in some of the school plays. Juniors who help in promoting greater interest in Ram-Blings are Larry Whittemore, Nancy Libby, Jo Bowles, Miles Farr, Hilda Livingston, Sylvia Rhodes and Pat Whitte- more. On the AMETHYST staffs our class is represented by Sue Huelin, Joannie Redin, joan Holmes, G. Reed, Joan Josslyn, jo Vaughan, and many other faithful workers. On weekend ski trips to Dyke throughout the winter were Jan Knowles, Nancy Shaw, Alan Karcher, Robbie Hobbs, Frannie Munson, Alice Hildreth, Nancy Whiting and Charlie Jortberg. The musical interests of the class were strongly represented in the band, orchestra and glee club. In the debating assemblies presented this year we had Helen Bernstein, Billy Matson, and Warren Boggs representing our class. Hi-Loft, which plays an important part in our lives, had two Junior representatives, Marilyn Prince and Betty Walsworth on its council. The familiar voices of Larry Whittemore and Warren Boggs have been added to the cheerleading squad. Cadets has been a must for some Juniors, who will take the commanding officers' ranks next year. The students chosen to lead us through our first year in Deering were: Ricky Hall, president, Charlie Jortberg, vice president, Joan Josslyn, secretary, Miles Farr, treasurer, executive committee, Bernie Larsen, Sue Cottrell, and Dick Sirois. Ricky Hall still successfully led the class in our Sophomore year assisted by Nancy Libby, vice president, Joan Josslyn, secretary, Bernie Larsen, treasurer, executive com- mittee, Charlie Jortberg, Elaine McFarland, and Miles Farr. This year our class has been ably piloted by Chuck McKenny. Other officers were Susan Cottrell, vice president, Frannie Munson, secretary, Frankie Goodie, treasurer, executive committee, Vaughn Twaddel, Eddie Rogers, and Bob Roberts. This year it was our privilege to put on the traditional junior Prom. We want to sincerely thank our class advisor, Mr. McCann for helping us in the preparation for the Prom and in the guidance he has given us throughout the year. Our predecessors, the class of '46, are about to leave Deering to take their various stations in life, there- fore, it devolves upon us to carry on the traditions of Deering for the year of 1947.

It can truly be said that each member of this class has contributed something worth while to the school, and its activities. Glee Club rehearsals under the direction of Mr. Mangion take place several momings each week. A few Sophomore members are Eleanor Rumery, Virginia Norton, Maxine Hudson, Dotty McCann. Pat Tibbets is a soloist. There are many prospective athletes out for every kind of sport this year. In football Stan Ladd, the only Frosh on the team last year, was an active member of this year's squad. Jackie Hay is also one of J. B.'s boys. Over one hundred girls signed up for softball this Spring. Tuesday and Thursday afternoons will fmd many such prominent Sophomores as Pat Scott, Jackie Holmes and Nancy Cottrell out playing under the direction of Miss Curtis and Betty Cram. During the Winter months, ski trips were formed by the students with the help of Miss Cowan. Charlie Hildreth, Jackie Holmes, Pat Acott, Miles Cambridge, Nancy Mosher, Jackie Kimball, Dotty McCann, Brant Frost, Faith Bourne, Nancy Knowles, Sylvia Fletcher, and Nancy Cottrell were on many of these trips. This Fall, tennis classes were held after school for the boys and during study periods for girls. These classes were divided into three groups-beginners, intermediates and advanced. Joan Bennett, who won the tournament last year, and Marilyn Kilpatrick and Kerry Jackson were outstanding Sophomores in the advanced class. Baseball was in full swing in March with Karakashian back from the service as head coach. Stan Ladd again this year is Varsity third baseman and Bob Simpson, Dick Campbell, Jackie Hay and Bruce Johnson are prominent j.V.'s. Girls' Varsity basketball practiced four afternoons a week in the Gym with Pat Scott, Jackie Holmes, Nancy Cottrell, Sylvia Fletcher, Joan Christy, and Barb Strout on the second string Varsity. They played against Westbrook High, Cony, South Portland, Westbrook Junior College and Kennebunk several times, winning eight and losing only two games. Bob Simpson, Dick Campbell and Allan Rowe were active in boys' basket- ball. Kerry Jackson, Bill Burnham, Bruce Johnson, and Stan Ladd played in intramurals. February 21st was the date of the Sophomore Class Play, The Pot Boiler. Mrs. Gulliver directed the following cast, Marilyn Kilpatrick, Uarda Ulprs, David Johnson, Robert Morrison, and Bill Cousins. Robert Sawyer was the stage manager. Marilyn Kilpatrick is also secretary of the Dramatic Club. There has been a great deal of interest in swimming this year. The boys' team was formed and Bob Foden was elected captain. The girls' team swam against South Port- land, winning every event but one. Pat Scott, Pat Conley, Gladys Brisse, and Nancy Mosher were the Sophomores who took part. Every Monday and Wednesday afternoons girls' bowling is held in the Y.M.C.A. The high scorers were chosen to bowl against South Portland. Barb Arsenault, Joan Bennett, Marilyn Kilpatrick, and Nancy Blumenthal made up the team. This year a Camera Club was formed under the direction of Mr. Hawkes. Students were shown how to develop, print and enlarge pictures. Dotty McCann is vice president, Nancy Mosher, secretary, Betty Tuck, treasurer. Many members of our class joined the Band last year and are steadily improving each year. Dave Huff, Raymond Stevens, Jackie Kimball, Ruth Crosby, Bob Melcher, Val Lagueux, and Donald Spear are regular members. We are sorry our Sophomore year is coming to an end as it leaves us with memories of so many good times, but we have formed some excellent friendships to take with us during the remaining years at Deering.

This makes the class of 1949 the first one to spend its entire four years at Deering with the nation at peace since the outbreak of the war. The ending of the war changed our schedule of activities somewhat from the students' schedules who entered Deering during the war. Our Freshman Reception was held December 14. Arthur Goon presided. Beth Utter- strom and Janice Hutchinson played piano solos, Bernie Williams played a trumpet solo, Charles Plumly played a baritone solo and Peter Perkins played his marimba. The Freshman Class play was presented that evening, also. It was a comedy entitled The Laundry Mark. The cast included DeAnn Mears, Maryjane Curran, Merton Davis, Sandra Rosebrook, Jacqueline Blanchard, Betty Walden, Pat Lappin, Mary Milton, Kenneth Chadwick, Arthur Sprague, Janice Hutchinson, Leo Alberti, Eddie Jutriss, Donald Anderson, and Mary Grivizis. After the play there was a dance held in the gym. There were two long receiving lines, with all the freshman teachers present. Many of the parents came and met the teachers. Our class certainly had its share of athletics. Many of the girls took up field hockey last fall. Ruth Beecher, Joan Bagster, and Nancy Richardson played in the sub-varsity game. The freshman football players are Leonard Curtis, Richard Ellis, Burton Etheridge, Billy Stubbs, Graham Hay, Ralph Salamone, Robert Sawtelle, Robert King, Jerry Kitchen, Robert Linnell, and Edward Parker. Graham is also on the varsity football team. Both boys and girls turned out for basketball enthusiastically. The girls, team included Ruth Beecher, Leigh Alberti, Doris Dunn, Pat Burke, Joan Bagster, Nancy Richardson, Elaine Sawyer, and Shirley Johnson. The girls won three games and lost two. On the boys' team were Warren Johnson, Leonard Curtis, Forest Grover, William King, Glen Hodgkins, Edward Parker, and Robert Shaw. The boys won ten games and lost two. The freshman girls had a bowling team this year. The bowlers were, Beverley See- Husen, Mary Collins, Pat Huddleson, Mary Grivizis, and Carol Eaton. Intramurals were held in bowling, swimming, and basketball. - Boys' baseball looks very promising this year. Jack Tanguay and Edward Mardi- gan pitch for the team. The catchers are John Maguire, George O'Brion and Robert Stevens. The infielders are Richard Ellis, Robert Shaw, John DiMatteo, Porter Sickles, Forrest Grover, and Lewis Pierson. Leonard Curtis and Teddy Tolman are outfielders. Our freshman girls also enjoy softball. Four of the girls, Pat Burke, Millie Groden, Joan Bagster, and Nancy Richardson played on the varsity squad. Aside from athletes, several members of our class have been accepted into the band or orchestra. We also have many honor students representing the class on the quarterly honor roll.

Cottrell was faced with rounding out a green squad with but Greely, Hall, and Aceto as proven vets. However, Bob Orr, Porky Leighton, Chuck McKenney, Bernie Larsen, Stan Ladd, Ed Rogers, Bob Roberts, Ernie Buckley, and Walker Noyes came along fast and with the new addition of towering Ray Lynch, New Jersey transfer, strengthened the Purple. In the Round Robin, D.H.S. looked like the team to beat by taking Cheverus, 13 to 0 and South Portland, 7 to 0 with Lynch, Hall, Orr, and Aceto being offensive standouts. Now the season officially opened, Deering faced the one and only Portland and came down on the short end of a 13 to 6 count. The next week, while still smarting from the Portland defeat, D.H.S. was thoroughly mauled by a powerful Cheverus aggregation, 24 to 0. Now that B. was getting used to his players and their individual talents, he shifted from his double wing formation into the snappy, deceiving T formation. This proved to be the incentive that the boys needed and a win spree was started. First, at Lewiston, we met the Blue Devils on their home grounds. Here the new formation worked like a charm with Bob Orr's passing, Hall's end skirting, Ladd's off tackle spurts, and Aceto's line bucks prominent. Also, the line composed of Lynch, Rogers, Larsen, Greely, Noyes, Roberts, Heal, and Buckley, blocked, tackled, and completely disintegrated the Lewiston combine. For the next game we journeyed across the bridge to South Portland. The Capers proved to be the second victims of the on-rushing tide to the tune of 26 to 12. We were still speeding in high gear when we stopped at Auburn to show the Red Eddies our wares. The game was performed in perhaps as dense a fog as any night football game has ever been played. Well, fog or no fog, Edward Little was smothered 33 to 7. Now in the lineups under substitutes frequently appeared such names as Porky Leighton, Dick Karcher, Gene Sturgeon, Ken Castner, Bill Edes, Ed Grady, and Graham Hay. The Deering juggernaut was momentarily stopped at Exeter, as the preppers fielded a big team and pushed back a hard fighting D.H.S. team to avenge previous defeats and ties, 32 to 12. As the fog previously hadn't slowed the Rams down to a dull roar, neither did the pouring rain. Thus Biddeford was amphibiously sunk, 32 to 12. Up to here, the Deering eleven had been flying high. But now they were slowed down by a higher flying Thornton club, 13 to 0. Then along came the Turkey Day game with the star backfielder, Ricky Hall, side- lined with an illness. Deering was defeated by Portland because of the inability to score when the chance was offered. Gene Sturgeon tried nobly to fill in the empty space in the backfield but Deering just didn't have the final push to reverse the 14 to 0 set-back. Next year, after a mediocre 1945 season, there will be five lettermen returning in Co-captains Larsen and Hall, Stan Ladd, Bob Roberts, and Chuck McKenney, along with such hopefuls as Dana Weeks, Ralph Mahoney, Don Hodgkins, Graham Hay, Charlie Jortberg, and Bob Foden. Good Luck team of '46 and more power to youl VARSITY INSTRUCTIONS BASKETBALL All told, D.H.S. had a good basketball season with ten wins and 5 losses. Such veterans as Bob Orr, Tom Aceto and Rick Hall returned for the '45-'46 team. The remainder of the team was comprised of Frank Goodie, Bill Edes and Gene Sturgeon each who saw limited action last year, and Ray Lynch, football standout transfer. These boys provided a well-balanced quintet with Edes, Goodie and Sturgeon as forwards, Lynch, center, Hall, Orr and Aceto, guards. To start the season right, Deering toppled the Bowdoin J.V.'s 50 to 41. However, the next game proved to be a reverse, when the alumni floored such versatile performers as Jack Iott and Bob Speirs to break us, 48 to 24. As the Western Maine series started, Deering was barely defeated by Cheverus 29 to 27 with Bill Edes and Frank Goodie both playing good ball. The next game against Cony originated the Mutt and Jeff act as Ray Lynch and Frank Goodie were instrumental in the 35 to 29 win. The new state champion Eddies squeezed by the scrapping Deering team by a one point margin 24 to 23. Everyone tried to upset the applecart, but the time ran out and took the game with it. The next affair against a comparatively poor South Portland team threw a scare in the Deeringites, 34 to 32. Against the defending State Champs, again we came out on the short end of a 30 to 28 count, although Goodie, Hall and Lynch tried hard to break the Portland team's ice. The following two games were both lost by close margins to Cheverus 35 to 27 and to Exeter 42 to 39. As we faced the Capers for the second time, Bill Edes's ball handling was outstanding in the 41 to 36 win. Gene Sturgeon and Edes were instrumental in the Blue Devils' defeat 45 to 14. In a return game with the Bowdoin -I.V.'s, the J.B. coached clan still held the mastery over the college boys 39 to 24. As the regular season closed against Portland, the combined efforts of Hall and Lynch easily defeated the Little Boy Blues, 36 to 24. In the Western Maine Tourney, Deering edged Morse in the best opening round game of the series, 50 to 41. The next game pitted Deering against Cheverus who beat them twice during the season, but now Deering had the will to win and surpass the Freestreeters, 32 to 27. The linal game of the tourney found Deering against Edward Little. Once again the time ran out on the purple-clad boys as Ray Lynch, Bob Orr, and all the others played their hearts out in defeat 34 to 32. Big Ray Lynch won the prized Vinall trophy for being the most outstanding player and best sportsman in the tourney. He became the first Deering player to win the coveted award. This year's Jayvee Squad included Bernie Larsen, Ed Rogers, Dana Weeks, Bob Gardner, Don Hodgkins, Bob Simpson, Dick Campbell, and Gene Wells, five of whom will return next season to be coupled with Rick Hall and Frank Goodie. These boys will form the nucleus of next year's team which looks like a powerful aggregation.

Such proven stars as Goodie, Ladd, Orr, Sturgeon, Edes, Hall, and Wells will carry the brunt of the Purple attack until the new men get into the swing of things. Capt. Bill Edes and Riclc Hall combine to give D.H.S. one of, if not the Strongest batterys in the league. The infield is another strong point since Ammann is the only green man, and at that he has had two years of Jayvee experience. The 1945 team proved to be a better than average team and finished second in the Telly Loop standings. Of the 16 league games played, the boys won 10 and lost 6 for a .600 average. In those 16 games, the purple clad gamesters played South Portland, Westbrook, Portland, and Cheverus each four times. After the season the individual record showed that the Purple beat S.P. Capers two but also lost two to them. Against Cheverus and Westbrook Deering did its best in winning three and losing only one against each of these. Finally they broke even with Portland winning and losing two. The one sad feature of 1945 was that graduation had to take such fine ball players as Nort Sawyer, Dana Smith, John Caminiti, and Mal Speirs. 1946 SCHEDULE Date Place Opponent Wed.

Scott Hoar. With his leadership and the volunteering of such performers as Doug Bryant, Howard Brown, Twat Twaddel, Reggie Little, and Chet Chase, the boys rounded out a fair season. Although Hoar and Brown turned in the best performances, the others contributed nobly to the score. The boys ran against Portland twice, Traip Academy, Lincoln Academy, Lisbon Falls High, and Gould Academy. The beginners, Bryant, Twaddel, Little, Chase, practiced loyally and hard, and, towards the end of the season showed much improvement. Hoar, who started running as a sophomore, is now a junior. He finished for the most part in one of the first three positions. Brown, who is only a freshman, finished first against Gould and promises to be very good in future years. In the spring Buck Harvell dug up the track equipment. Veterans returning to the squad this year were Scott Hoar in the mile, Larry Whittemore and Clem Barker in the hurdles, Al Cross in the dash, Carl Greely in the field events, and Chuck McKenny and Charlie jortberg in the middle distance. Answering the track call for the first time were Ray Lynch, Doug Bryant, Al McGann, Ed Rogers, Ken Castner, and many others. Ray Lynch works in the shot put and high jump, Doug Bryant and Al McGann in the middle distances, Ed Rogers, Chuck McKenny and Ken Castner in field events. Now that the squad is being rounded out one would find in the low hurdles, Whitte- more, Barker, Jortberg and Bryant, in the high hurdles, Whittemore and Barker, in the 100 yard dash, Barker, Rogers, and Castner, in the 440, Bryant, in the mile, Hoar and White, in the 880, Jortberg, Richardson, and Campbell, in the high jump, Lynch and Barker, broad jump, Barker and Jortberg, in the shot put, Lynch, Castner, McKen- ny, Rogers, Hay, and Foden, in the discus, McKenny, Rogers, and Castner, and in the javelin, Bryant, Rogers, and McKenny. Ray Greenleaf is manager. The school broad jump record was broken in a meet by Carl Barker. With all these boys doing their best, Deering should stand out in the meets to come Apr.

The varsity played three games, winning one and tieing two. This year, more than in others, the sub-varsity team has heen outstanding. They waged five games of which four they won and tied the fifth. Helen Andrew, Susan Cottrell, Kay Foley, Faith La Fleur, Rita Lee, Elaine McFarland, Frannie Munson, Marilyn Prescott, Pat Scott, Helen Tighe, joan Vaughn, Pat Whittemore, and Pat Young comprised the varsity team under the management of Dot Johnson. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Girls' Basketball, under the vigorous captainship of Dot Johnson and thorough coaching of Miss Curtis, had an unusually triumphant year, The varsity team, engaging in outside cmnpetition, won ten games out of the twelve played. The sinh-varsity team, as in other sports, shame in the nine games played, of which they wun seven. Ruth Beecher, captain of the lireshman team, certainly brought out the fine possibilities for the future in their winning three games out of the five played. Outstanding varsity players were: Helen Tighe, -Iocey Frost, Faith In Fleur, Dot Johnson, Susan Cottrell, Betty Baade, and Helen Andrew. lv ,M 33, i 5 - l Girls' Tennis Left to Right- Joan Bennett Roberta Cohen Nancy Shaw Marilyn Kilpatrick Shirley Knowles Mary Burke Betty Hutchins jocey Frost Helen I.

Outstanding individual players on this year's court aggregation were Lefty Luce, Helier Cleveland, Al Karcher, and Phil Hall. r ' W GIRLS' TENNIS The call for tennis was widely answered by girls from all classes. Although many of these girls showed great improvement there has been no chance, as yet, for competition. Spring tennis may give us this opportunity. From the many girls out for tennis there were eight chosen for varsity, these were: Joan Bennett, Shirley Knowles, Helen I. Bernstein, Marilyn Kilpatrick, Elizabeth Hutchins, Norma Pickett, Roberta Cohen, and Nancy Shaw.

Foden, Prouty, R. Davis, and S. Watson. The outstanding freshmen were Alberti, Brisse, Lowell, Marsh, and S. Davis. Girls' Bowling Left to Right- Mary Curtis Carol Eaton Helen I.

During the winter the SS Deering archers busy themselves by mak- ing their own equipment, learning the art of fletch- ing, and bow making. In most people woodcarving is a strong propensity. Woodcarving at Deering is a creative winter occu- pation. Those participating make toys, hope chests, bookcases, screens, pins, and many other worthwhile objects. Carving and refinishing as well as learning how to operate various machines are also taken up. BOWLING One hundred and thirty-eight girls participated, and did a fine job in bowling this year. There were two meets with South Portland High School, one of which we won, the score being six to one. There was a match between the D.I-IS. boys and girls, the hnal score being two to two. Another im- portant standpoint in this year's bowling was the intramurals, where the Juniors topped the Sopho- mores in the Hnals. This yearls excellent showing was under the management of Mary Curtis and jean McGregor.

They have staged many rallies, one snake dance, and worked exceptionally hard at games to incite our school spirit. One of their most outstanding performances of the year came during the tournament at Lewiston when the group made the trip upstate three days to insure support to the team.

CADIETS Upholcling the Deering tradition of a line military organization this year has been the Cadet Corps. The regiment consists of one boys' battalion and two girls' groups, each battalion being made up of about one hundred and thirty enlisted personnel and twenty ofhcers. The regiment has been active this year taking part in the Armistice and Memorial Day parades in addition to its regular school activities, the Cadet Ball and the Memorial Day exercises. At the annual Cadet Ball, the Deering Boys' Battalion carried off top honors in battalion competition and returned home with the coveted cup. Lieutenant-Colonel Dana Stoddard, Major Richard Karcher, Major Annabelle Hall, and Major Shirley Bates received medals as outstanding ofiicers, Jordan Prouty, as best company commander, and Scott Hoar, as outstanding enlisted man. The three battalions assisted at the annual Memorial Day ceremonies, adding color to the traditional service. As an extra duty, two members of the corps have raised the flag in front of the school each morning. I . -. 1' .' g' 1, -- M. ': .., - .- - .f . . fr N -, 1:1-.4--',,. ' NX -.
