The opportunities for youth are abundant, for the entire world loolcs to the growing generation for its strength during the long period of reconstruction.

The main purpose of this organization is to earn money for scholarships which are presented at the end of the school year to the outstanding seniors. This year, their main feature was the presentation of John Mason Brown, a distinguished critic and author, at the City Hall. lt was through the efforts of Pathfinders' that the people of Portland were privileged to hear his lecture, '1Seeing Things. One of Pathlinders' aims has been to bring about cooperation between the faculty and the parents. They hold a meeting once a month with special programs. Pathfinclers' officers are as follows: President, Mrs. Leonard Libby, First Vice President, Mrs. Earl Hobbs, Second Vice Presi- dent, Mrs. Charles McKenney, Treasurer, Mrs. Richard Standley, Corre- sponding Secretary, Mrs. Lawrence Plowman, and Recording Secretary, Mrs. Delbert Bosworth. The faculty advisors are Miss Adelaide Briggs and Mrs. Carrie Morrison. We feel greatly indebted to the Pathfinders' Club for its unfailing efforts in the interest of Deering High School. T Baud Moltbers Club The main activities of the Deering High School Band Mothers, Club this year were held for the purpose of raising money to enable the band to attend the Spring music festivals to be held at Portsmouth, New Hamp- shire, and Lewiston, Maine, and to buy new uniforms for the entire band. The oflicers of the club consist of the following: President, Mrs. D. W. Huff, Vice President, Mrs. W. P. Libby, Secretary, Mrs. E. B. Stevens, Treasurer, Mrs. Harold Melcher. The club meets on the first Tuesday of each month at the high school. The Band Mothers' Club sponsored numerous projects and activities during the year. They were a rummage sale and dance in October, a coffee- bridge in December, the Fathers' Day Concert in January, and the annual Band Concert in March. The club has also assisted the band in organizing its own club, 'eNotes of the Futuref' Through these various projects, the Band Mothers' Club has not only raised money to aid in the festival prep- arations, and to provide new uniforms for the entire band, but has also set a precedent in band history of hard worlc which will be difficult to surpass in future years. Orobestra Moltbersg p Club The Deering Orchestra Club has a membership of forty-five made up of the mothers of the students of the orchestra. The ollicers elected for the year 1946-1947 are Mrs. Elmer R. Stevens, president, Mrs. Lawrence Kimball, vice president, Mrs. justice Murphy, secretary, Mrs. joseph Montefusco, treasurer. The meetings of this club are held on the third Tuesday of each month in room 105 in Deering High School. Many worthwhile projects have been undertaken throughout the year. Proceeds from the sale of Christmas cards and wrappings were used to help finance the trip to the Miusic Festival at Portsmouth, New Hampshire in April. In November the club sponsored a novel program of old fashioned movies held in the school auditorium. The Vesper Concert which has not been held for many years was revived this year by this active group. On january 18 the club members assisted at the annual Orchestra Con- cert and dance held at Deering High School. Their interest in music prompted this group to contribute a sum of money to the building fund for the erection of a Memorial Band Shell at South Portland. STVIUIDIENTT LAURENCE F.

The Student Council has proven to be a great advancement in the life at Deering during its three years of existence. In the latter part of 1944, when plans for a Student Government were Hrst introduced from the student body, there was a great deal of opposition, but through the Organization Committee's relentless efforts, the Constitution was finally ratified by three- fourths of the school. The success of 1947's Council rested in the united support of all students and the effort made by the various appointed committees. Miss Dolley, faculty advisor, devoted much of her time and consideration to the Council. The Installation Assembly was held January 17 with Dr. Lyseth and Don McLaughlin as guest speakers. Sworn in as officers beside Miss Josslyn were Laurence F. Wfhittemore, Vice President, Elaine McFarland, Secretary, Inga I-Iaugaard, Treasurer, Allan Karcher and William Stubbs, Clerks, and David Powers, Sergeant-at-Arms. The council brought about some very noteworthy accomplishments. On November 1, a Halloween dance with entertainment drew a huge crowd from Deering and other local schools. A night rally and dance, also given in November, further increased the Council's financial standing. A hne Assembly Program providing for two assemblies or more each month of the year was outlined, and, with the cooperation of the dramatic coaches, these assemblies were presented on the stage. Helen Bernstein headed the committee which worked out this schedule. A Christmas Petition Committee, appointed by vote of the Council in answer to the students' pleas for a two day extension of the holidays, resulted in success because of the uorderly manner in which it was donef' Norma Jannell's Scrapbook Committee made a scrapbook containing all the school events of 1946 and 1947. The Student Council is now a vital institution at Deering--not as an extra curriculum activity-but as a democratic, student governing body protecting the interests of all. SENICDR LAURENCE F.

S11-EN HCODR CLASS PLAY January Thawf' the Senior Play of the Class of 1947, scored one of the greatest successes in the history of the Deering stage. The cast played to a capacity house, and more than three hundred people were turned away. The play was held on Thanksgiving Night this year, a change from the traditional Spring date of former years. The scene of the play was an old farmhouse which the Gage family had just pur- chased. Unbeknown to Mr. Gage, the deed to the house stated that the former owners, the Rockwoods, might live there for the rest of their lives. But since they had been away for years, Mrs. Gage 'Qfelt it in her bonesn that they were dead, and bought the house, with Rockwoods attached! A series of hilarious events followed when the Rockwoocls returned-very much alive! The cast included James Joralemon, Helen Bernstein, Elwood Beach, Lois Dibblee, Richard Sirois, Gay Tapley, David Powers, Barbara Jones, Clifford Card, Gloria Rose, Vaughn Twaddel, Joanne Hartley, and Charles Jortberg. Working backstage were: stage manager, Laurence F. Whittemoreg business manager, Audrey Wilcox, electrician, William Manning, technicians, Mary Burke and Gloria McCullough, properties, Beverly Young, Vivian Sohn, and Lucille Tarrg and costumes, Joan Bowles, Marilyn Prince, and Susan Cottrell. Senior Class History After spending four years at Deering which will go down in the history of the school and of the world as four of the most eventful in history, the class of 1947 is graduating into a nearly peace time world. On entering Deering in 1943, the scholastic, athletic, and musical talents of our class- mates were almost immediately making the class of '47 an active and much talked of part of the school. With the help of Mr. Stack, the following officers guided us through our Freshman year: president, Rickey Hall, vice president, Charlie Jortberg, secretary, Joanne Josslyn, treasurer, Miles Farr. The executive committee included Bernie Larsen, Susan Cottrell, and Dick Sirois. We were the first class in several years to hold a Freshman Reception. Both boys' and girls' sports saw large turnouts from our class. In football Rickey Hall started attracting attention which has increased during his years at Deering. Outstanding in boys' basketball were: Frankie Goodie, Rickey Hall, and Chuck McKenney. The girls' interests in sports were varied, but tennis, basketball, and hockey received the most candidates. Particularly outstanding were Sue Cottrell and Frannie Munson. By the time our sophomore year rolled around, we were well established at Deering. Sophomore class officers were: president, Rickey Hall, vice president, Nancy Libby, secretary, Joanne Josslyn, treasurer, Bernie La.rsen. The executive committee included Elaine McFarland, Miles Farr, and Charlie Jortberg. This year we saw Deering's first Student Council go into action. Larry Whittemore was clerk, and sophomores active on the council were: Chuck McKenney, Joannie Redin, Kerry Shaw, and Marilyn Prince. Representing us on AMETHYST and Ram-Blings were: Helen Bernstein, Joannie Redin, Nancy Libby, Larry Whittemore, and Norma Janell. The Taming of Sue was presented as the sophomore class play. It was during this year that Hi-Loft began to play such an important part in our social lives. When we reached the end of our sophomore year, we had come to the half way point in our careers at Deering, and we were ready to take our places as upperclassmen. Junior class oflicers were: president, Chuck McKenneyg vice president, Susan Cottrell, secretary, Frannie Munson, treasurer, Frankie Goodie, executive committee, Vaughn Twaddel, Eddie Rogers, and Bob Roberts. Larry Whittemore and Warren Boggs grabbed their megs and added their voices to the cheerleaders'. As Seniors it was up to us to take the lead, and this last year has shown that there should be many future successes in the class of '47. Our Senior Class has been piloted by president, Larry Whittemore, vice president, Allan Karcher, secretary, Marilyn Prince, treasurer, Charlie Jortberg, and the executive committee including Bernie Larsen, Bobby Lee, and Elaine McFarland. Joanne Josslyn has done a commendable job as the first girl president of Student Council. Larry Whittemore and Marilyn Prince have filled the positions of editor of AMETHYST and Ram-Blingx, respectively. This year's Senior Class Play, Q'January Thaw was an unparalleled financial as well as social success. In addition to the seniors who have been prominent in extra-curricula activities, many have made fine scholastic records. Some of the names most frequently appearing on the honor roll have been: Helen Bernstein, Joanne Hartley, Martha Burroughs, Joannie Redin, Brice Bayer, and Ralph Cook. All in all it,s been a grand four years, and we hope that the same spirit which has brought us to graduation may continue to carry us on to a worthwhile and happy future.

Eight hopeful Seniors ran on the tickets, each wanting to capture Deeringls hearts and votes. Feverish campaign meetings were held every night, fiendish schemes were readied for use. Charley Jortberg, running with Glo Rose, had a harem of Oriental beauties to emphasize his speech. Chink was dressed as a Sheik. Vaughnnie Twaddel, with Jo Vaughan, horrified timid freshmen by swallowing three live goldfish in as many minutes. Frank Goodie, with Elaine McFarland, cheerfully offered to kiss any baby present. Hank Gilbert, with Helen Bernstein, proposed a complete reorganization of the school. On Dv Club Night, Frank was installed Mayor and Elaine Miss Deering after a campaign no Deeringite will ever forget.

This group was not like other freshmen, this was our class. We had begun a new adventure. During that first year we were led by Arthur McAlister, president, Nancy Cottrell, vice president, Sylvia Fletcher, secretary, and Kerry Jackson, treasurer. The executive committee con- sisted of Val Lagueux, Nancy Knowles, and John Hay. Still underclassmen, we enjoyed our second year at Deering more by taking greater interest in extra-curricular activities. During our sophomore year we elected the following officers: Sumner Moulton, president, Dorothy McCann, vice president, Nancy Mosher, secretary, and John Hay, treasurer, with Bob Simpson, Patricia Tibbetts, and Bill Burn- ham as executive committeemen. Several of our classmates are in one of our musical organizations, but 1 think that extra credit is due to those who belong to both the orchestra and the band. Among them are Barbara Montefusco, Donald Spear, Jacqueline Kimball, Val Lagueux, Joyce Rich- mond, Robert Melcher, Beulah Walker, Raymond Stevens, Charlotte Hillman, and Ellen Wood. Deering would not seem like Deering without Ram-Blings. Sylvia Fletcher, Maryse Salmonsen, Joanne Quincy, Maryanne Huston, Charlotte Cutler, Barbara Arsenault, and Uarda Ulpts represent the Editorial Staff. Arthur McAlister is another important helper on the Ram. He is advertising and business manager. Basketball is a very important sport at Deering. Kerry jackson, Dick Campbell, and Bob Simpson were regular players in many of the games. The girls' basketball team had a very good season. The Junior girls on the team were Nancy Cottrell, Jackie Holmes, Sylvia Fletcher, and Joan Christie. E Another important sport is football. The team this year played several hard, exciting games. Starring in many of them were Stan Ladd, Bob Simpson, Donald Baade, and Bob Foden. V Charlie Hildreth, Owen Kimball, Randall Stearns, Bob Foden, Stephen Burnard, and Frank Nelson were outstanding members on the swimming team. just as important on the girls' team were Pat Scott and Gladys Brisse. Bowling has become a popular sport. Junior bowlers were joan Bennett, Arlene An- derson, Mary Lou Johnson, Dorcas Eldridge, and Joan Bernstein. Joan Bennett has won the tennis tournament for the past two years. Nearly all our time at Deering has passed. We regret that we have only one more year to enjoy here. The OECCFS this year were Kerry Jackson, president, Inga Haugaard, vice president, Stan Ladd, treasurer, and Virginia Norton, secretary. Those on the execu- tive committee were Charles Hildreth, Sylvia Fletcher, and Arthur McAlister. We wish to thank Mr. McCann for being such a helpful class adviser. We are now looking forward to next year when we will be Seniors.

So let us look hack upon a few students who have helped to make the class prosperous and prominent. Basketball players were well represented by the Sophomore class. A few outstanding players in the female line were Patty Burke, Pat Huddleson, Ruth Beecher, Nancy Rich- ardson, and Joan Bagster, all of whom were the pride of the class for excelling in sports. The male stars were Glenn Folsom, Ted Tolman, jack Whittemore, Jerry Kitchens, Ted Parker, and Warren Johnson, who well proved his ability as one of the top-rate varsity players. The Sophomore class is well represented on the baseball diamond. With Jack Tanguay, Ed Mardigan, John Maguire, Bob Shaw, John DiMatteo, Pete Sickles, and Lennie Curtis on the squad, Coach Karakashian had little to worry about. Going along in the athletic line, we remember the Ski Club which was a grand success. And incidentally, the Sophomores had by far the majority of best skiers. fso we thoughtj And why not, with Pete Sickles on those trails and Jack Pierce, Tom Sawyer, Mervyn Taylor, Frankie Langlois, and Bob Irish putting even Portland High skiers to shame? The sophomores also held high standards in swimming. Take Leigh Alberti, Beverly Micheau, Shirley Chisholm, and DeAnn Mears, who was a state meet winner. Leo Alberti, Bob Brisse, Steven Lowell and the manager, Sterling Davis upheld the boys' swimming in a successful year. The mighty girls' riding club was popping with horsewomen such as Jean Milrphy, Gloria Smith, Barbara Connor, Jackie Blanchard, and Elaine Wadsworth in the saddle. Last year, our very first year at wonderful Deering, the following officers were elected: Arthur Goon, president, Maryjane Curran, vice president, Carol Eaton, secretary, Leon- ard Curtis, treasurer, john DiMatteo, Robert Sawtelle, and Robert Vaughan, executive committeemen. We held a highly successful Freshman Reception, our first introduction to the social life of Deering. President, Brian Flynn, Vice President, DeAnn Mears, Secretary, Connie Webbg Treasurer, Bobby Vaughan, Executive Committee, Bev Cushman, Pete Sickles, and Mervyn Taylor. But one page is not enough on which to mention the 335 students who each have con- tributed to the making of our mighty Sophomore class. We are happy to be able to pass on to the Junior year, and we extend a hearty welcome to the new Sophomores and hope that they will be as successful as we were.

A play was presented entitled, 'QA Freshman Dreams of School, which explained how a classroom would be if one of its students could be the principal. The cast included Jack Mullin, Dwight Harvey, Phil Nectow, Ellsworth Briggs, Darrel Leighton, Phil Yung, Joan Young, Rita Modes, Greta Lundin, Celestia Shackford, Joyce Rosenthal, Jean Driscoll, Kay Zeiner, Marilyn Percival, Marilyn See Husen, Carol Smith, Barbara Cole, and Don Rideout. Following the play there was a dance in the gym. There were two receiving lines, with most of the Freshmen teachers present. Sports at Deering High have played a very important part in our Freshman year here. The first eleven on the football team were Ed Speed,' Valentte, David Hibbard, Phil i'Buddy Cook, Phil Nectow, Dick McLean, Warren Swan, Bob Brown, Ed Ireland, Sam DiBiase, Don Rideout, and Earl Harriman. These boys won all their games- except one with the Westbrook Jayvee squad. Bill Ladd did the grand job of coaching them. Soon after the football season, basketball practice got underway with Mr. Tibbetts as the coach. The starting lineup was Jeff Thomas,,Phil Buddy Cook, Chuck Cameron, Phil Nectow, and Bounce Hodgkins. They came out on top in the hilarious frosh- faculty game. Some of the track team members are Dwight Harvey, Don Becker, Bob Jacobs, and Al Bingham. The girls have done a good job at their sports, too. The Freshman held hockey team consisted of Captain Connie Baade, Kay Zeiner, Ruth Johnson, Betty Johnson, Mary Drake, Jean West, Pat Damon, Marilyn Huskins, Pat Hanson, Mary Lou Pettengill, and Jean Swett. Several of these Freshmen made the Jayvee team. Basketball was also very important to the girls. The team included Captain Arlene Kidder, Norma Smaha, Marlow Farnum, Connie Baade, Katherine Ward, and Ruth johnson. The Deering Girls' Riding Club meetings are held every Friday at Tomlinson's Riding School. Some of the promising Freshmen are Patty Knapp, jane Winslow, Joanne Green, Pat Damon, Mary Tolman, Mary Drake, Ann Burkett, and Beverly Grant. The faculty adviser for this sport was Miss Helen Churchill. When she left at the end of the first term, Miss Dolley willingly took over the position. V Our class oflicers were Don Rideout, president, Jean Driscoll, vice president, Jean Swett, secretary, Bob Bean, treasurer, Kay Zeiner, Dwight Harvey, and Ellsworth Briggs, executive committee.

Cottrell had to shape together a young team with veterans Rickey Hall, Bernie Larsen fco-captainsj, Stan Ladd, Stan Huntley, and Bob Roberts. The coach had many eager and partially experi- enced aspirants in Dana Weeks, Bob Simpson, Chuck McKenney, Graham Hay, Frankie Goodie and others. These fellows eventually fitted in well with the club. Almost duplicating last year's exhibition, the Rams shone brightly in the Round-Robin as they downed Cheverus 13 to 0 and the South Portland Capers 6 to 0. Deering was the only team, that night, to score. With a bit of experience and confidence behind them, the Deering club reversed the tables on Portland by defeating them 13 to 6. This was the identical score by which they beat us last year. Continuously using the T-formation, D.H.S. went on to whip a tricky Cheverus 19 to 12. Riding fairly high with the backfield work of Hall, Ladd, Gooclie, and Simpson, the Purple finally met defeat. This blow was handed them by the Lewiston eleven. It was their wide end sweeps which nicked D.H.S. Z0 to 6. Deering avengedtheir defeat by downing South Portland 20 to 7. A number of fumbles helped the cause. Breaking away for two quick TD's, Edward Little was the next team to foil the Rams. Twice they blocked punts by Rickey Hall, putting themselves into position for rallies. Deering out- played the Red Eddies, but stubbornly bowed 6 to 14. Coach Cottrell worked in a good number of substitutes like Bob Lee, Don 'eWiify', Hodgkins, and Tiny McMillan. It might be said that when we played Biddeford, the Rams swam to defeat. With a combination of rain, injuries and stiff opposition, D.H.S. could not make the grade. After Rickey Hall was side-lined with an ankle injury, Bob Simpson played a fine game. Now we read of the type game which comes once a year, the oh, so easy one. The Purple club just nosed out Thornton 41 to 0. The highlight was the unveiling of Fresh- man Swan who kicked five out of six extra points. Deering finally bowed as St. Louis tip-toed over us 25 to 12. The game however was very closely fought. Then came the annual Turkey Day game. D.H.S. out-played their traditional oppon- ents, Portland, but failed to outscore them. This setback could not go without its star, as Wi1fy,, Hodgkins received a turkey as Deering's outstanding player. Deering placed two men on the all-Western Maine eleven, Rickey Hall and Stan Huntley. Stan went on to fill center on the All-State Team. The players decided to have field captains next year instead of the same two co-captains the whole year. Holding down next year's post will be Ladd, Simpson, McMillan, Foden, and Cadigan. Let's all get out and follow the team next fall. ' VARSITY SQUAD How We love to hear that SW-I-I-SH.',' BASINIETT EAILIL FRESHMAN SQUAD Next year We'll be at the top of the page.

We soon heard the thrilling sound of basketballs echoing in the gym. Deering lost some grand players last year-tall Ray Lynch, Bill Edes, Bob Orr, and Gene Sturgeon. However, Frank Goodie, Bob Simpson, Dana Weeks, and Bob Lee returned to the squad. Rickey Hall, because of a football injury, did not join the team this year. Fred Kosiba, a newcomer to Deering, took over the coaching job for the 1947 squad. With Hall not playing at center, the position was filled by Kerry jackson and Bob Simpson. Dana Weeks, a good defensive player, filled one of the guard positions. Warren johnson, a spectacular Sophomore, filled the other guard position. Johnson specialized in those long, oh-so-pretty swishers. At forward, we found Dick Campbell, a speedy Junior. Captain Frank Goodie, a mighty mite, filled in the other forward position. jortberg and Perruzzi were the squad's able managers. Deering added a new team to her schedule this year, Plymouth High of Massachus- etts. In a game in Boston, the Plymouth boys won a tough game, 33 to 31. At first the Plymouth team was ahead 9 to 7. The Deering Rams pulled up in the second quarter, 18 to 16. After a third period score of 26 to 22, the Ram offensive was blunted to let Plymouth win in the last seconds. The next week, Deering was back home again, and played a strong Cheverus five. The Deeringites started well, pulling ahead by a 15 to 14 score. At the second period, Deering still led 21 to 14. The Irish offensive burst in the third, the Irish pulled ahead 32 to 30. Cheverus ran wild to win by a 42 to 30 score in a sloppy fourth period. Cony was next of Deering's list. The boys traveled to the Capital to be upset in the fourth quarter by the Cony men, 34 to 28. Deering led all the way, but lost in the last quarter. Then tired of taking a beating, the Purple picked up a game at Lewiston, downing the Red Eddies 41 to 37. Frank Goodie sparkled in this game with 17 points to his credit. On the next week, the Rams entertained a strong Caper outfit at the Expo. The South Portland club took a rough beating in Deering's best game of the year. Campbell was lead man on the team with 15 points under his belt. When the final gun went off, the Rams had won 46 to 36. Once again Deering met her rival, Portland High School. The game started off slowly, everyone expected a dull game. However, the game was the most thrilling of the year. In the last quarter, the two teams suddenly tied scores, 36 to 36. The time ran out, but the game was not over. fn the overtime period, the game was loaded with high-pitched excitement with the ball passing quickly back and forth from one basket to the other. Kerry jackson tore loose with a swisher. The screaming crowd rocked the old Expo. The Bulldogs, in a frenzy, sank one to match Jackson's. Kerry had a foul shot. As the crowd held its breath, he sank it. Portland followed by also sinking a foul shot. The precious seconds ticked away, the Blue got the ball. A quick, one-handed shot and Q'BANG! , the game was over. Portland had won 41 to 39. The Presque Isle game came out unfavorable to the Rams, 37 to 34. The Potato Men won in the final seconds with their height counting heavily. Deering seemed to be in a rut for 'the rest of the season. Coach Kosiba, realizing this, began to play many under- classmen in order to give them experience for a good season next year. Cheverus again beat the Rams 28 to 15. The Bowdoin Jayvees won 41 to 33. The Purple machine was unable to cope with a strengthened Caper outfit. Deering lost 47 to 38. Lewiston and Portland also chalked up victories. For the Hrst year, interclass basketball was held. In a close fight, Larry Whittemore's Senior team won the championship. The Celtics won the intra-mural crown. The Jayvees and the Frosh team had good seasons. Mr. Tibbetts and Mr. Smith coached the teams. Deering has good material coming to the varsity team, we wish Coach Kosiba a good season next year. i 'N INDOOR TRACK SQUAD RTO tlvinlq this all started at Marathon.

Once again his only returning veteran was Capt. Scott Hoar, a capable and willing leader. His remarkable talents, coupled with those of Dwight Harvie, a diminutive freshman, formed the nucleus of the team. Behind these performers were Donald Kurtz, a senior, and Donald Becker and Bob Hilton, two other freshmen. These boys represented the school in competition against Traip Academy, Portland High, Gould Academy, York, Lisbon Falls, and Lin- coln Academy. They did exceptionally well for newcomers and give good prospects for the future years. As if the Cross Country problem had not been enough, Buck was faced by the pros- pects for a poor year of indoor track, for graduation had claimed such scorers as Clem Barker, A1 Cross, Carl Greely, Ray Lynch, Doug Bryant, A1 1VlcGann, Ed Rogers, and Ken Castner. This left for veterans only Larry Whittemore, Charlie Jortberg, and Scott Hoar. Buck then made a desperate plea for trackmen and he was rewarded by the turnout of Bob Libby, Don Becker, Dwight Harvie, George Nash, Allan Bingham, Robert Urbano, Charlie Maddox, Bob Gilford, Hal Wilson, Wally Norton, Stan Wat- son, Walter Allen, Will Sawyer, and George Cadigan. These are only the letter winners of a vast hoard that answered the call. Then as the rigid training started, the boys seemed to realize what events they should run in for the competition in all events in this part of the state has been exceptionally good this season. The track meets were divided into three sections: the juniors under 118 pounds, the intermediates over 118 pounds, but under 133, and finally the seniors, who were over 133 pounds. This classification was just for a few certain running events. We now found Bob Libby, captain-elect, in the intermediate class, running the short dash, low hurdles, and relay. Bob Urbano, another intermediate, ran the 300 yard dash and the relay, as did Charlie Maddox and Bob Gilford. Hal Wilson was in the hurdles and 300 yard dash. Wally Norton, a better than everage intermediate, ran the 600, short dashes, and was on the relay team. The potent junior division that garnered many im- portant meet points was led by versatile Don Becker, who tied Portland's Kippy Richard- son for highest scorer in the four-cornered meet. He is a brother of former star Deering tracksters and has great prospects for the future. Dwight Harvie, a member of the Cross Country team was a valuable man in the junior dash and relay as were George Nash and Allen Bingham. In the senior division there were Larry Whittemore and Walter Allen in the high hurdles and on the relay team. Allen also ran in the dashes. Stan Watson ran in the short dashes, the 600 and on the relay team. Scott Hoar represented D.H.S. in the grind- ing mile run. Charlie Jortberg was in the dashes, the high jump, and the relay. George Cadigan was a big star in the high jump as was big Will Sawyer, a navy veteran, in the shot put. Praise should be given to Ray Greenleaf, the manager of Cross Country and Indoor Track. Also to Vernon Libby, another navy vet, for although he was ineligible to run in high school competition, he helped coach the boys and was a big help to Buck, This squad had a fair season, considering the inexperienced in the ranks, against the Bowdoin JV,s, Portland, Cheverus, South Portland, and Portland again. In the four- cornered meet Deering came in third behind South Portland and Portland. Spring or outdoor track seems to be the best of this year for Deering for practically the same boys on the indoor squad have returned with much needed experience. These boys coupled with some new additions promise to make Deering a threat in all of its spring meets against the Bowdoin jV's, Governor Dummer, S.P,, EL., Lewiston, U. of M. Annex, Portland, and Gould Academy. Then finally come the South Western Maiiic and the State meet. So let's wish good luck to Buck and his boys as they go from one victory to another. Q L ' VARSITY SQUAD Wifi: sights leveled on the Telegram League CroWn--- BASIEIBAILIL JAYVEE SQUAD The future Cbampslv Better luck next time, Stanfy' Something tells me that you are out, Ed! Slide, Chicken, slide! Safely is BASEBALL As the spring of 1.946 brought baseball to Deering, so did Deering bring the Western Maine Championship unto its own halls. Ara Karakashian, on returning to Deering, proved to be the incentive necessary to propel the Purple squad to the ultimate goal of all high school teams in Western Maine-the coveted Telegram League Award. The conditions under which Ara worked were favorable in as much as he had seven vet- erans with which to start the season, namely, Rickey Hall, Bob Orr, Gene Sturgeon, Bill Edes, Gene Wells, Frank Goodie, and Stan Ladd. These, coupled with such new stars as Charlie Ammann, Les Heal, Bob Simpson, John Maguire, and Pete Sickles, comprised a powerful team and a winning combination. The team compiled the exceptional record of thirteen wins and three losses to finish the season with a high .813 percentage. Deering took the league lead early in the season, and with the pitching powers of Rickey Hall and good team batting, maintained the pace until the end of the season. The Purple aggregation started poorly in losing to a hard- hitting Biddeford team. Then the boys opened up as Westbrook, Portland, South Port- land, and Cheverus fell before the mighty surge of the Purple Machine. Sanford and Thornton fell before the Rams' offensive. However, Cheverus and Westbrook also had been winning steadily to tighten the league race. Deering met Cheverus for the second time as the season was coming to a close. The Free-Streeters turned back the Rams in a close highly disputed battle to narrow the first place gap. Deering then lost to Portland in a hectic battle. This loss tied Westbrook with Deering for the first spot on the list. The playoff between these two clubs came at the next to last game of the season. It was a red-hot affair at the Paper City which students and adults alike flocked to see. On the sidelines it was the school spirit of D.H.S. versus the city of Westbrook backing their team. However, on the field the game was won by the strong right arm of Rapid Rickey Hall. About 4,500 sports enthusiasts saw Deering emerge victorious. The final game of the season was against Thornton and once again Hall came through as Deering won 5 to 4 to clinch the Telegram League Championship. Graduation claimed such fine performers as Capt. Billy Edes, the star catcher who suffered from an injury jinxg Gene Wells, a good pitcher and hitter, Bob Orr, an excep- tional shortstopg and Les Heal and Gene Sturgeon, noted fly-chasers. This year,s prospects look very good for a repeat performance with Deering leading the league. Returning are Rickey Hall, the league,s leading pitcher, John Maguire, a dangerous clutch hitter, behind the plate, Chick Ammann, a good fielding first sacker, Capt. Frankie Goodie, the smoothest keystoner in the league, rifle-armed Stan Ladd at the hot-corner, and speedy Bob Simpson in center field. Coupled with these talents are Pete Sickles at short and Bernie Larsen, Ralph Mahoney, Len Curtis, and Ralph Roberts, all hghting for outheld berths. At all positions there is a great depth in reserves. Behind Hall pitching are Art Erothingham, jack Tanguay, Ed Ireland, Cleo Roberts, Ed Mardi- gan, and Cuddles Marshall. Catching, there are Maguire, Dick Southworth, and Earl Harriman. Ar first following Ammann are Dick Ellis and Paul Bradstreet. After Goodie at second are Jack Hay and John Di Matteo. Pete Sickles and Neil Rideout are at shortstop, with Ladd and Sling Sawtelle at third base. In the outfield are Simpson, Larsen, Mahoney, Curtis, and Roberts. All these boys with their various talents and the pushing of the great relentless coach, Ara Karakashian, make Deering a pre-season favorite to cop the Telegram League for the second consecutive year. Yes, we cannot be over-optimistic to Deering's pennant chances even though we fthe students of Deeringi feel certain that Deering will be on top of the Western Maine Baseball League once again. GIRLS' FIELD HOCKEY For the third consecutive year Coach Elnora Curtis' varsity field hockey teams ended their season undefeated. Captained by Frannie Munson, the team saw action against South Portland, Cape Elizabeth, Cony, Westbrook Junior, Waynflete, and Wilton Acad- emy. Although the team was tied by Wilton and Waynflete, they came through with victories over all the other teams to lceep the title of one of the best hockey squads in this section. Enough enthusiastic under-classmen turned out to have a sub-varsity and Freshman team. These teams also competed in games. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Girls' basketball, under the leadership of Coach Elnora Curtis and Captain Betty Baade, completed a very successful season. The varsity team competed wich the Alumnae, Cape Elizabeth, Westbrook, South Portland, Cathedral, Waynfiete, Cony, Westbrook Junior, and the Y. W. C. A. team, winning all but the two games with Westbrook. The energy and determination of such notable players as Frannie Munson, Betty Baacle, Barb Cushing, Jackie Holmes, Nancy Whiting, Sue Cottrell, and Barb Strout combined to make this an outstanding team. The Jayvee and Freshman teams also came through with fine records. Ola boy! Only two more rniler M to gall, CROSS COUNTRY SQUAD Cross Country, one of the oldest of sports, has been popular at Deering for quite a while. The fleet-winged runners cover a two and one-half mile course for the race. This year, Scott I-Ioar was the only returned veteran. Scott broke the school record for the course this year, a little over thirteen minutes. With Captain Hoar were Gimp I-Iarvie, a Freshman who shows much promise, Don Kurtz, a steady Senior, Don Becker, a star Freshman traclcster, and Bob Hilton, an improving Frosh. With Coach I-larvell, the boys ran over hill and dale against six different school cross country teams. Most of the team will return next year for a good season. GIRLS' SWIMMING TEAM The girls have regular swimming classes at the Portland Boys' Club under the direction of Mr. Paulson and Miss Curtis. Many of the girls par- ticipated in the A.A.U. meet at the Boys' Club. Jean Swett and Norma Smaha did some expert diving at the last meet. . Some of the outstanding swimmers are: Pat Scott, freestyle, Gladys Brisse, hreaststrolceg Betty Amadie and Rosemary Wfhite, baclcstrolceg Joyce Robinson, crawlg Joan Bennett, Jean Cressey, Hilda Livingston and Nancy Conners. They all make splashes-but O such pretty rplaslvesfl' It is considered good taste to lzit the ball over the netf' BOYS' SWIMMING TEAM The year 1947 saw one of the best Boys, Swimming squad ever representing the Purple. Vincent Miangion took over the coaching job for the natators this year. Coach Mangion injected much-needed enthusiasm into the team. Swimming for the team this year were Bob Foden, Bob Brisse, Charley Hildreth, Kim Thax- ter, Sterling Davis, Leo Alberti, Randell Stearns, Steve Burnard, Jim Jaroleman, and many others. The Purple mermen competed with Brunswick, Portland, Edward Little, Portland Boys' Club, and the State Interscholastic Meet. Swimming is a coming sport in Deering, varsity Ds, are awarded on All Deering Night. We wish luck to Coach Mangion and his 1948 team. BOYS' TENNIS TEAM The Tennis team, under the guidance of Coach Emery Dunfee, got off to a good start this year. On the first meet of the year, the Deering High Ram racquet-wielders trounced the Hebron Academy team 8 to 1. The Deeringites made a clean sweep of the singles. In the doubles, Deering took all but one point. Murray Reuben, hrst man on the D.H.S. Tennis team, shined as he defeated the best man from Hebron. Charley Smasher Hildreth defeated the second man in a wild match. The Bowdoin Col- lege Jayvees were next on the team's list. In a toughly contested battle, the school boys defeated the college boys 5 to 4. Warren Boggs and Hank Gilbert Hashed in the game. On May 13, Deering took to the road and stole a win from Lewiston 9 to O. Aqua, l'eau, Water -tlvey are all very Wet. CHEERLEADING Cheerleading activities this year consisted of cheer- ing throughout the football and basketball seasons, staging many rallies, and working to incite our much needed school spirit. The cheerleaders, under the fine direction of Larry Whittemore, have done an admir- able job with both old cheers and many new lasting additions such as the Ram Cheer, introduced by Bob Burns, and Wfhe New Long Way.,' A They have made several out-of-town trips to sup- port their team, the outstanding one being the trip to the Boston Arena where we played Plymouth High School. Um on, you Deer- ingites-open your mouths and YELLT' ARCHERY AND WOODCARVING The Archery Club is a rapidly growing sport at Deering as it is all over the country. Under the splendid direction of Mr. Bailey, the Deering archers learn the art of Hetching and bowmaking during the winter months. The Woodcarving Club was originated for the stu- dents who could not otherwise include this subject in their curriculum. In this club-, the students learn to operate various machines as well as to make their many worthwhile things. Besides being a particularly interesting club, it enables the members to acquire their gym credit. One in a million- see if you can fnd himf' U DEERING D CLUB The UD Club is one of the oldest organizations in our school. A student who has received his letter for taking an important part in some sport is eligible for membership in the DH Club. The ofiicers for 1946-1947 were: Richard Hall, president, Charles Jortberg, vice president, Bernard Larsen, treasurer, Frances Munson, secretary, and Susan Cottrell, Betty Baade, and Frank Goodie, executive committee. Mr. Tibbetts served as faculty adviser. At the first meeting, soon after school opened, all the new members were sworn in by the secretary. The Father-Son Banquet was held at a local hotel at the close of football season, as is the custom. The annual DH Club show was given April 12, the main event of the evening being the presentation of the Mayor and Miss Deering. In the spring, the Dv Club picnic was held and all members and their guests were invited. Perhaps the most important business transacted by the club was the passage of a bill which made the provision that any boy winning a varsity D for the first time would receive a sweater, but any further letters earned would be awarded in certificate form. As a result of this action, over 100 boys received purple or white sweaters at All Deer- ing Night. Six girl cheerleaders were the only girls receiving awards that night. The other girls had an award night of their own-the Ram Plaza, one of the prettiest social affairs at Deering--numerals, varsity letters, and gold pins were presented to the feminine athletes. A select group received white coatesweaters as a reward of many years, service. The D Club gave its annual picnic in the spring this year. The picnic was claimed to be the most successful in years. As a gift to the school, the ND Club donated 5400 to the Athletic Department to help to defray increased expenses. The DU Club, a Deering tradition, has always maintained a high standing in the school life. We sincerely hope that it will continue to keep its excellent record in the years to come.

DEERING CADET CORPS The cadets of Deering High School, consisting of both boys and girls from all classes, play an important part in the school activities. There are four companies of boys, six companies of girls, and a staH. Karl V. Palmer gives the cadets instructions in drills and formations. This year the boy cadets had as their able leader, Lieutenant Colonel Scott Hoar. He was assisted by his battalion staff which consisted of Major Robert Craine, four captains, eight lieutenants, and eleven second lieutenants. There are about 160 boys enrolled in,cadets. The girls were led by Lieutenant Colonels Beverly Dobmeier and Dorothy Nevers. They were assisted by two majors, six captains, fifteen lieutenants, and eight second lieutenants. About 280 girls are enrolled in cadets. The cadets drill in the gym during twenty minute period. Cadets takes the place of gym or a sport, and a point is given for it. All the practicing and drilling which goes on during the fall and winter prepares the cadets for the annual Cadet Drill and Ball which takes place sometime in April at the Exposition Building. The Cadet Drill consists of a Regimental Formation, Competitive and Special Drills, and the Evening Parade, consisting of the combined battalions of Portland and Deering High Schools. At this time commissions are awarded to the officers, a cup for the best boys' company, a cup for the best boys' battalion, and a medal for the best boy cadet from both schools. Also medals are given to the best line officers, and a medal is given to the best girl officer and cadet. After the Cadet Drill and Ball the Cadets again resumed practice in order to prepare for next year. BAND Band and Urohestra Last September the band and the orchestra began another spectacular musical season. They owe their sparkling reputations of being among the finest of New Englandis high school musical organizations to two men, Mr. Joseph Gaudreau, director, and Mr. Clinton Grafam, assistant director. Through his superior knowledge of and love for music, Mr. Gaudreau has inspired and encouraged the orchestra and the band to master difficult compositions, usually attempted only by professional organizations. To Mr. Graffam goes the credit for the success of the many painstaking sectional rehearsals, which are the basis of excellent sense of pitch and time. Through the efforts of the Orchestra Mothers' Club and the Band Mothers' Club raising funds through beneficial concerts, teas, raflies, and bridge parties, both organizations attended the Western Maine and New England Music Festivals and again earned all A ratings as well as being declared at the top of fine high school musical organizations in New England. Also through six years of unselfishly raising money, the Band Mothers' Club presented the band with 54,100 worth of new uniforms which arrived just in time for the band's tenth annual concert. Ofiicers of the orchestra for the year have been: Virginia Norton, presidentg Joan Redin, secretary, Harry White, treasurerg Beverly Pettingill, press representative. Band officers have been Stanley Watson, managerg Vaughn Twacldel, assistant manager, Barbara Montefusco, secretaryg Beverly Pettingill, attendance oH'icerg Donald Spear and Bernie Williams, set-up committee.
