Your responsibilities will increase when you leave here and it is my hope that your years at Deering will help you to meet them to your personal satisfaction and with benefit to the community where you may live. If I have one hope for you above all others it is that you have built through study and association with personalities and ideas a sound sense of values. This is of greater importance than school grades and academic honors. May your memories of Deering be increasingly pleasant with the passing of the years. 442. -5-ffl ' ggi CARLETON L WIGGIN Cut P R I N C I P A L MR. RALPH B.

BRIGGS The New Yorker entitles its biographical sketches Profiles . At first thought such a title for a tribute to Miss Briggs seems singularly inappropriate since the vitality of her personality, the spontaneity of her wit, the range of her interests, and the breadth of her understanding strain the third and even the fourth dimensions in portraiture. But since any sketch of Miss Briggs, unless filled in by the memories and affections of those who know her cannot hope to be more than a profile, we would do well to accept the term, thereby avowing that the purpose of this sketch is to pay tribute to Miss Briggs rather than to express her personality, since to describe her to those who know her is un- necessary and to those who do not, impossible. Adelaide L. Briggs came to Deering High School in the fall of nineteen hundred and eleven. Having proved herself to be a teacher of outstanding merit by the expert hand- ling of a lively class of boys in freshman English, she was offered for the following year the position of head of the French Department to replace Mr. Henri Micoleau, recalled to France for military duty. After spending the summer and part of the fall in France, Miss Briggs took up her duties as head of the French Department in Deering High School in nineteen hundred and twelve, the position which she held until her retirement in nineteen hundred and forty-eight. For thirty-six years the boys and girls of Deering have had the opportunity of learning French and a philosophy of life in Miss Brigg's classes. Here, indeed, the for- mula for modern education, on s'instruit en s'amusant , practiced at its best and high- est sense, for Miss Briggs brought to the classroom wisdom and wit, as well as a love and understanding of France and the French people, which were both contagious and inspir- mg. Mr. Wiggin, in tribute to Miss Briggs, spoke of her as having, elan vital , a term coined by the French philosopher, Henri Bergson, to describe that vitality which uplifts and sustains the human race towards progress . All those who were privileged to know Miss Briggs as a teacher or as a colleague will attest to the vitality of her contribution to Deering High School. THE PATHFINDERS CLUB The year 1949 marks the 25th anniversary of the organization of the Pathfinders Club, for on March 27, 1924, the club was organized by a group of mothers of Deering High School students. Later, the group was enlarged to include mothers of students of Lincoln Junior High School. The purposes of the club at that time were to help the students to meet and solve problems of the day and to create better understanding between students, parents, and teachers. To these purposes have been added those of helping in the general welfare of the school and of assisting one or more worthy graduates of Deering High School to obtain a higher education, raising funds for that purpose. In addition to the presentation of scholarships, a gift of money is given to the principal of each school to be used at his discretion for the benefit of the school. The first financial project ever attempted by the club was the sponsorship of an ap- pearance of Angelo Patri. A portion of the proceeds of this project was used for the benefit of the Deering High School Band. An early project was the clock fund and money was raised to purchase the clock now in the Deering High School tower. The members of the Pathfinders Club were also instrumental in the establishment of the Jane L. Burbank branch of the Portland Public Library. During the year 1948-49, meetings of the club have been held monthly at Deering High School or Lincoln Junior High School, The school bands and orchestras have been heard by the club members and some interesting speakers have also come from outside of the schools. Among the outstanding programs were the performance of the Christmas play, At the Inn , and a debate presented by members of the Forum. A silver coffee was held on Valentine's Day at the home of .Mrs VVilliam S. Linnell in honor of the presidents who had served during the 25 year lifetime of the club. Successful nnancial projects have included a Down-East Revue and a coffee bridge. The officers of the club are Mrs. Scott H. Gordon, who succedezl Mrs. Myron W, Lamb as president when the latter resigned because of illness: Mrs. Alvin A. Morrison, vice- presidentg Mrs. Harold W. Kimball, recording secretaryg Mrs. Wilfred Sohn, correspond- ing scretaryj and Mrs. Edward B. Moulton, treasurer. MRS. SCOTT H. GORDON DEERING ORCHESTRA CLUB The Deering Orchestra Club is made up of the mothers of Deering Or- chestra members, with a membership of about fifty. Their purpose is to sponsor and aid the orchestra financially. This year the orchestra is badly in need of new uniforms, the others having been used for about fifteen years, so the members have worked extra hard and will have new jackets for the festivals. The club has also made each girl a skirt and will aid in the expense of the trips to the festivals. Our projects Started about as soon as school started last fall with a paper drive in September, a rummage Sale in October, sale of Christmas cards in November, our annual Vesper Concert in December. In January, we had our Talent Show, using volunteered talent of the school, prizes were given for the best and second best performance. Our Annual Concert and Dance was held in February, and in March we invited the Band Mother's Club and Pathfinders to a tea at which time Mrs. Mary McCrum, the columnist, spoke. Our meetings are held the third Tuesday of each month. The ofiicers elected for 1948-49 are: Mrs. Justin J. Murphy, president, Mrs. Raymond Borstel, vice-presidentg Mrs. Howard Mitchell, secretaryg Mrs. Albert Ut- terstrom, treasurer. MRS. JUSTIN MURPHY DEERING HIGH SCHOOL BAND MOTHERS CLUB The main activity of the Band Mothers Club of Deering High School this year was presenting a combined concert with the Medford High School Band of Medford, Massachusetts, at the City Hall on February 18, 1949. Other projects were the annual dance in September, a rummage sale in October, a baked ham supper in November, the Fathers Day concert in January, the Medford-Deering concert in February, and the annual concert in the City Hall in March. Special mention should be made of the continued sale of our cookbook entitled, Cooking to Beat the Band . This very successful pro- ject was carried over from last year. Through these various activities the Band Mothers Club has not only raised money to aid in festival preparations, but also has purchased new in- struments for the band, a new flag, and made additions to our uniform fund. The band has participated in the Western Maine Festival in Auburn, Maine, May 14th, and in the New England Festivals at Old Orchard on May 22nd. The officers of the club are Mrs. Carl E. Pettengill, president, Mrs. Elliot P. Perkins, Mrs. Tennys Wadsworth, vice-president, Mrs. Linwood T. Pit- man, secretaryg and Mrs. Gilbert Little, treasurer. The regular business meetings are held the first Tuesday of the month at Deering High School. MRS.

Arthur Goon was our president and the other ofli- cers included Maryjane Curran, Carol Eaton, Len Curtis, John DiMatteo, Bob Sawtelle, and Bobby Vaughn. Brian Flynn served as president our sophomore year. DeAnn Mears, Bobby Vaughn, Connie Webb, Bev Cushman, Pete Sickles, and Mervyn Taylor held the other ofiices. Our junior year Warren Johnson presided. He was assisted by Maryjane Curran, DeAnn Mears, Len Curtis, Art Sprague, Bob Vaughn, and Ralph Salamone. Now our senior year has rolled by and Warren Johnson was our president, Len Cur- tis, vice presidentg Ralph Salamone, treasurer, Connie Webb, secretary, and Ruth Beecher, Mervyn Taylor, and Bob Sawtelle served on the executive committee. This year, our editor of Ramblings , Beverly Pettengill has been assisted through a successful year by hard workers such as Lois Hunter, Barb Connor, Connie Webb, Cynf thia Cowan, Skip Sprague, Maryjane Curran and Bill French. Bruce McGorrill has edited our yearbook with Carolyn Borstel, Maryjane Curran, Beverly Pettengill, Bill Stubbs, Marilyn Bustin, and Barb Connor on the Amethyst edi- tors' staff. During our stay, fine plays such as Dear Ruth and Strange Boarders have been produced. We admired the talents of Sandra Rosebrook, Merv Taylor, Arthur McFee, Paul Pomeroy, DeAnn Mears, Jack Grey, Bruce McGorrill, Shirley Plavin, Janet Whit- tier, Michael Possner, and Gene Barton. Proudly we may say that the Thanksgiving day game with Portland was won in our senior year. Among our football heroes are Graham Hay, Bob Sawtelle, Jack Tanguay, Warren Burnell, Bob Stevens, Jeff Hodges, and Glen Folsom. The Student Council was lead by Ralph Salarnone this year. Millie Groden, Pat Burke, Len Curtis, Bill Stubbs, Warren Johnson, and Bruce McGorrill also held offices. Many of our seniors have made admirable scholastic records. Nancy Holt, Arthur McFee, Electra Paskalides, Paul Pomeroy, and Ruth Abbott are among those who have made the honor roll, along with doing extra-curricular activities. Beverly Pettengill was the Winner of the D. A. R. award for good citizenship. Our class has had many girl field hockey and basketball enthusiasts. Pat Burke, Ruth Beecher, Pat Huddleson, Shirley Johnson, Lois Hunter, Elaine Sawyer, Anna Libby, and Norma Buckley are a few of the victorious sportsters. Len Curtis, Jack Whitmore, Ed Mardigan, and Warren Johnson have upheld our class in basketball. Mervyn Taylor was in possession of the keys to Dyke. Cynthia Cowan, Lois Hunter, Cal Borstel, Pete Sickels, and Bill Stubbs were the other Ski Club oflicers for this year. Our four wonderful years are coming to a close. We leave with loyalty towards our alma mater and hope that the future classes will enjoy as we have, the fine things Deer- ing has to offer.

Our class, dominated by athletes, has improved a great deal through these years. Many of our classmates, such as Buddy Cook, Bounce Hodgkins, Neal Bradstreet, Earl Harriman, Speed Valente, Warren Swan, Phil Marshall, Dave Hibbard, and Bob Brown, help make up the varsity football team. All have proven them- selves capable. Also, during the fall season, the girls were well represented on the hockey field by such star players as Connie Baade, Ruth Johnson, Arlene Kidder, Dot Laming, Jean Swett, Mary Drake, Pat Butland, and Marilyn Huskins, Several of these names mentioned worked for the undefeated team. r Basketball plays another important part, too, in our class. Players like Bounce Hodgkins, Buddy Cook, Speed Valente, Charlie Cameron have made the varsity squad, while the girls' team consists of Connie Baade, Ruth Johnson, Pat Knapp, Arlene Kidder, Norma Smaha, Dot Laming, Marilyn Huskins, and Jean Swett. Baseball is another popularsport with members as Speed Valente, Earl Harriman, Bounce Hodgkins, Neil Rideout, and Phil Marshall com- peting. There are a large number from this class that play in the band and or- chestra, taking notice of two of the majorettes, Joyce Hobbs, and Jean West. Some of the bright-lights of the class that work hard for Ram-blings and Amethyst are: Lorrie Gannon, Barbara Mitchell, Gimp Harvie, and Jack Mullin. This year our class, lead by Speed Valente, President, Kathie Zeiner, Vice-President, Jean Swett, Secretary, Jean Hassett, Treasurer, Buddy Cook, Marilyn See Husen, and Norma Smaha, Executive Committee, were advised by Mr. McCann.

Sophomores who were prominent in the sporting world were Jerry Simp- son, John Coolidge, and Don Bartholomay in football, basketball included Frankie Gardner, Ralph Hendrix, Eddie Hilton, and Jerry Simpson. John Honan and Don Pride found their way in track. The girls' varsity teams can certainly look forward for plenty of sup- port from the class of '51. Judie Strout was outstanding in basketball. Even amid such a diversity of interest, time was found to elect our class officers. The results were Keith Hilton, President, Frank Gardner, Vice- President, Arlene Reed, Secretary, Betty Gamble, Treasurer, Barb Pal- mer, John Coolidge, and Dick Ek, Executive Committee. The time soon came also to dread for, cram for, pray for, and Cfor mostl to pass mid-years. Then a new semester. Ellen Butler attained about the highest honors for the girls, while David Shaw took the distinction for the boys at the close of the half semester. The band and orchestra were well represented with Sophomores. The class itself has given their able support in all our school activities. Spring brought the reappearance of our tennis, softball, baseball, out- door track, and on to Junior Year!

This proved to be our most important project. A series of short plays were given by some of the English classes and several songs were sung by the chorus. Some of those taking part were Bruce Henderson, Gloria Murch, Gary Cleveland, Alan Levenson, Gloria June Davis, David Cobb, and Donald Small. Following the entertainment was a reception in the gym where the parents met the Freshman teachers. This past year many freshman pupils were seen participating in many sports. Some of Deering's future baseball players will be Bob Gardiner, Skin Dulac, Don Speirs, Bob Tetrault, Leslie Peterson, Bob Ramsay, Don Sturdivant, and many others. Several of these were seen, too, having a good share of fun in basketball, and proved their sportsmanship in the Freshman games of the season. The boys, however, were not the only ones out for sportsg some of the girls seen on the Hockey Field were June Halburts, Ann Feehan, Nancy Baldwin, Mary Jean McDonough, and Florence Hildreth. Playing basketball this past year were Jane Allen, Janet Gullifer, Dianne Simpson, who also played field hockey. All of the clubs at Deering welcomed many new members from the Freshman class who in future years will carry on the work of these clubs. The officers of the class of 1948-49 were as follows: President, Newton Churchillg Vice-President, Robert Gardiner, Secre- tary, Robert Huff 3 Treasurer, Lawrence Kindbomg Executive Committee: Alan Lewis, Nancy Packard.

Y r N A r ht L+ X ai The cast of our annual Thanksgiving Play worked long and hard with Mrs. Gulliver to present their smooth, successful performance of Strange Boarders . The curtain rose on a cheerfully decrepit shack perched at the end of a rickety wharf. Arthur McFee, stage manager, and all his trusty helpers had lots of fun with it. Sandra Rosebrook headed the cast, which included a mad professor, a sea captain and an assortment of noted crooks. The parts were taken by DeAnn Mears, Kathy Zeiner, Joy Williams, Shirley Plavin, Marilyn Moore, Beverly LePage, Gene Barton, Paul Pomeroy, John Grey, Warren Johnson, Mervin Taylor, Philip Nectow, Frankie Langlois, and Michael Posner. Stage helpers were Mervin Taylor, Lois Hunter, Richard Cutler, Gene Bar- ton, Bruce Henderson, Kenneth Chadwick, Gerald Sutton, Lewis Pearson, Marcia Means, Nancy Baker, Beverley Cushman, Jean Cressey, Priscilla Maxim, Jerry Miller, Glenmore MacDufHe, and Barbara Mitchell. SENIOR CLASS PLAY This year Miss Hueston and Mrs. Gulliver chose Noel Coward's I'll Leave It to You. For many weeks the cast stayed for l-o-n-g rehearsals, while those backstage wielded saws, hammers, needles, light-bulbs, ropes, paint brushes, and wall paper, in a super human effort to give you a good time on the twenty-sixth and-incidentally-to raise money for the class gift. Everything including the beautiful set and the cast party was a suc- cess. Let's have a round of thanks to DeAnn Mears, Paul Pomeroy, Sandra Rosebrook, Pete Sickels, Connie Webb, Beverly Pettingill, Ruth Gagnon, Janice Hutchinson, Robert Linnell, Art Sprague, and all the others who helped to make the play a hit: Arthur McFee, Cynthia Cowan, Ray Little, Glenmore MacDufiie, Timothy Wadman, Bobby Vaughn, Ralph Salamone, Margaret Grover, Jane Evans, Beth Utterstrom, and Janet Whittier. Above all, our gratitude goes to Mrs. Gulliver, whose cheerful, tireless ef- forts make every play a hit. It is with real regret that we seniors in the Dramatic Club say good-by to the auditorium, scene of so many happy memories. But we leave it to the future classes to discover the thrill of the silent, dark stage, the blank, empty rows of seats, dusty costumes, cluttered prop rooms, first dress re- hearsals, and even the electric excitement in the dressing room during the last few minutes before curtain time.

Porter Sickles Caroline Borstel V Glen Folsom Ruthie Beecher Dick Ellis Pat Huddleston fe a a a 63 i HIS HONOR AND HER HIGHNESS The rip-roarin', rootin'-tootin' Double CH campaign gave to Deering a real taste of the Wild West , with such expressions as pull up a cactus and sit down or with catchy nicknames of the candidates, Len Pistol- Packin' Curtis and Maryjane Pretty Belle Curran. A colorful Indian war dance opened the doings of the week. Shoe-polished Indians performed the ritual which was spurred on by loud reports from the cap pistol of Pistol-Packin' Curtis. One morning, tasty cowboy hats, candy, cigarettes, and ice cream were distributed personally by the aspiring Mayor and Miss Deering. Thursday was the reckoning day which brought more cam- paigning via a purple and white bedecked wagon, also bedecked with Len, and Pretty Belle astride a horse, a real symbol of the old West. Leading cheers for Curran and Curtis the long way, the cheerleaders really looked happy, even though it was a might chilly on the roof. In every class- room we could spy some replica of the Wild West -Maryjane or Len attired in the true western costume or plaid shirts with kerchiefs em- broidered with two C's-symbolic of the campaign theme. As we all know the climax to the Double C campaign was the announcement at the D Club Show of the 1949 Mayor and Miss Deering-Len and Maryjane. All this was amidst the clever tricks employed by Curt and Maryjane's opponents. There was Doc Folsom and Ruthie Beecher, the fiesta happy group with Pat Huddleston and Dick Ellis, and Swiss the yodelers of Caro- lyn Borstel and Pete Sickles. Attachments to nationalities seemed to be the key to all the ? ? ? ? ? on. There were roving mics on the boiler house roof, free perfume, free ice cream and candy, free blotters and tags, and practically everything but free lcandy?J kisses. Let's not forget Glen Folsom's red jeep or Dick Ellis' mechanical monster or even the 'briefs' worn by Cal and Pete. But above all let's not forget our Mayor and Miss Deering.

Editor CIRCULATION STAFF 'X' AMETHYST 1924-1949 This year the Amethyst is celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary. The editors feel that this would be a fine time to stop and survey the advance- ment which the Amethyst has undergone during its existence. The original Amethyst, sponsored by Miss Gladys Tilton, former head of the English Department, consisted of ninety-six pages. The senior sec- tion included one hundred and ten students. The editor of this first book was Miss Amy Rankin, who managed to compile an excellent book. The activities were comparatively brief-debating, orchestra, Breccia, Cmonth- ly publicationb, Geology Club, and Radio Club. The activities at Deering, as you may see, have increased beyond that point. In comparison with the early year book, the 1949 Amethyst contains two hundred and eight pages. The senior section consists of two hundred and eighty-seven students. In addition to this, the later Deering High School Amethyst was the first year book in Maine to produce a kodachrome cover, 119491, just as it was the first book to employ the padded cover-in 1947. The advisor to the 1949 Amethyst, Mr. Linwood Elliott, was himself an editor of the Amethyst when he attended Deering High. There could be no better staff to compile an anniversary issue than the group which worked so cooperatively on your 1949 Amethyst, because the Amethyst positions are open to any member of the student body who wishes to work in order to produce a good book for his or her class. The editors of the different departments are appointed after showing service, interest, and ability as underclassmen. Many members of previous Amethyst staffs have gone on to journalistic careers. The Amethysts of the future are in the hands of every individual stu- dent at Deering High. May as many competent students appear to fill next year's vacancies in order that the 1950 Amethyst may be the first of an- other twenty-five years of excellent publications.

RAM-BLINGS Ram-blings is the student newspaper of Deering. The usual eight-page edition is published once monthly during the school year by the Portland Lithograph Company. This year the particular goal and purpose of Ram- Blings has been to be the democratic medium to inform all students on the latest Deering doings. Through its Let's Give Credit , Popping Ques- tions , Snaps 'n' Scraps , and Student Council News columns Ram- Blings has stressed the point that it is everybody's paper and not just a selected few. Ram-Blings has tried to develop better relations between teacher and student and to give the average school pupil a voice in the af- fairs of his school and to bring students closer together. Through its Guest Editorials Ram-Blings has tried to build morals and morale in its readers. Ram-Blings' purpose has been to bring prestige to Deering by publicizing all awards won by her students and bring due recognition to the school. Ram-Blings has tried to give enjoyment to its readers and to outline and record carefully all events of the school year. .But most of all, Rain-Blings has attempted strongly to portray school life as it really is-to give its readers, their parents, and friends an all-round portrait of Deering life. Ram-Blings has been edited by Beverly Pettengill with the very capable assistance of Connie Webb and Lorrie Gannon. Bill French has done a terrific job as the Business and Advertising Manager. Art Sprague and Barb Connor have covered the Deering sports for the second consecutive year and Cynthia Cowan has been the Circulation Manager. Sandra Rose- brook has faithfully spotted the Prominent Deeringites and Maryjane Cur- ran has managed a huge part of the paper by being the Snaps 'n' Scraps editor. Janice Hanninger, for the second consecutive year, has exchanged papers with schools all over the country to perfect our exchange system, and Lois Hunter has been invaluable as her art work and many construc- tive suggestions. With the ever-important assistance of Jackie Blanchard, Bev Cushman, Barb Mitchell, Shirley Plavin, Jean West, Nancy Richard- son, Janet Whittier, Nan Bartlett, Ted Whittemore, Ruth McDonald, Marion McDonald, Betty Sparkman, Marilyn Todd, Mary Lou Padgett, Sylvia Amadie, Gloria Worth, Anne Reilley, Dorothy Brow, Janet Gulli- fer, Eleanor Nickerson, LeAnn Hawkes, Pat Murphy, and with the friendly guiding hand of Mr. John McCann, Ram-Blings has completed its ninth successful year of publication. BEVERLY PETTENCILLS ,.. ROA it e Dramatic Club To Present Strange Hoardersv History Students Attend Legislature Mrs. Gulliver travels for new cast Confucius once said: He who keeps dead fish in house for two weeks becomes 'Strange Hoarder'. Bearing in mind the words of wisdom of this great mystic, the Dramatic Club will present a typical fishy story-which, if kept in the house for two weeks, might begin to st- -k. Strange Hoarders takes place fdespite the efforts of the Society for the Prevention of Smok- ing, Swearing or Drinking on the Stage at Deering Highl in an old shack on the edge of a neighboring wharf, fThe man who built it, used to go from pillar to post? The cast includes: DeAnn Chea- armed Mears, Catfhly Zeiner, Shirley Plavin, Phil Necfkjtow, Mike Posner, Merv Beacon Taylor, Jack Tat'tle Tale Gray, Paul Pom-Pomeroy, Warren John- son, Gene Barton, Beverly LaPage, Mari- lyn Moore, 0'Joy Williams, and Senora Rosebook. The plot evolves about two girls who have absconded with Miss Hueston's Col- lege board tests. They try to hide in this wharf home, only to be caught by two men who are making up time for the office. The whole affair is interwoven about a number of characters, The mother, who attempts to hide the tests in her dummy Ino relationk, two young love birds who find fishing at low tide from the wharf tends to lessen one's chances, an old sea captain who is full of salt and a defunct deacon who only lengthens the play and shortens the time for dancing, The stage set has again been con- structed by Arthur McFee's Prefabricated Home Building Company. He has made the scene so realistic, that during the sec- ond act, when the tide is supposed to be out, the play actually smells. If, however, Deering wins the Turkey Game and every- one is completely happy, the play will be enjoyed by all. Here we have a small portion of the crowd which gathered early to buy their' Amethyst . Left, the co-editor of circulation is shown riding off to print more su scription blanks. Amethyst Goes Legs Give Cver the Top True to all previous indications, the 1949 Amethyst was sold out on the very first day of subscriptions. This year's book fmashed cowhide cover, one thousand one hundred and eleven pages and printed in seven languagesl costs the student a bit more this year than last. After careful consideration, the Advisor, Mr. Linseed S. Olliet and Editor 'Oscar' C. McGorrill, de- cided to raise the price to 15350. The father of all publications in Deer- ing, the Amethyst is the same organiza- tion which allows Ram-blings to use photo- graphs taken originally for the yearbook. The price for which your book is delivered, is actually very reasonable, considering the time taken to produce each individual page. Due to the fact that all these books have been sold, the student body of our school is insisting upon a larger circula- tion, in order that everyone will have one. The original total of six thousand books appears to be quite short of the need. Anyone who would still like to buy an Amethyst is requested to contact the girl who holds the purse strings, Miss! Beverly Pettengill. Credit Although this page is a jest at our school's monthly publication, there is one matter over which ribbing may not step. We of the Amethyst are proud to Give Credit to Beverly Pettengill, the out- standing Editor of Deering High School's Ram-blings, Under her guiding eye and steady hand, Ram-blings has attained a very high standing in the minds of Deer- ing students. Even though We jest at this being Beverly Pettengill's Ram-blings, she has actually seen to it that it is the paper of the students and by the students. In addition to this, the 1949 Amethyst would have been at a com- plete loss without her capable assistance. The senior section and various other time- consuming projects have been attended to with equal vigor. Beverly is the type of girl who will return a jest with a keen witted remark of her own, when ribbed about her activities and clubs. Let's Give Credit to our D. A. R. award winner, Beverly Pettengill. Have you always wanted your name in Ram-blings? Write it here .,.. ..,.., .... ....... Mr. Elliott's classes have problems Bright and early on a brisk Winter day, Mr. Linwood Elliott bun dled his eager students into a bus and took off for Augusta Knot to stayl. The purpose of the trip was to view Democracy in ac- tion. The students had an opportunity to meet real politicians Knot the kind at Deeringj. The only harsh words spoken all day were by Richard MacLennen the was the only Democrat on the busl. The group attended regular Senate and House sessions and saw first hand how bills are passed ltax, insurance, edu- cation, laundry, grooeryl. Mr. Elliott himself presented a bill to regulate the procedure for hunting licenses. A num- ber of legislators were overheard saying that they thought he was a game fellow. A number of boys returned with nomi- nation papers for the year nineteen sixty- two. A m 0 n g t h e m were Bill French. Ralph Salamone, Mervyn Taylor, and Richard MacLennen fo pt i m i stl. The whole gathering arrived home in one piece and proceeded to have a test on what they had seen. Tu-Tons voted most of school The illustrious Tu-Tens or Tons of Deering s p o n s o r e d, voted, and were elected most of the school in an election last week. These are the same upstart young girls who so ruthlessly attacked a few unsuspecting Hi-Y boys one evening. Their weapons were frozen Sno-balk This election is the climax of a long hard campaign, managed by Beverly Pettengill. HEY! Awggwgmsvesnmglf E Fifi.

Under the direction of Mr. Joseph L. Gaudreau, with the assistance of Mr. Clinton W. Graffam and Col. Karl V. Palmer, the band has successfully completed an extra-busy year. Early in the fall the band played and drilled at the football games and participated in concerts given for the National Grange and Maine Teachers conventions. The band played its Fathers' Day Concert January 9th in the school auditorium. Then the some one hundred members began to prepare for their joint concert with the Med- ford High School Band of Medford, Massachusetts to be held in City Hall on February 19th. This was a return gesture of friendship for the won- derful trip had by the Deeringites when they traveled to Medford the pre- ceding year. The Annual Band Concert was held March 11th and featured many of the graduating seniors, as well as a special grand finale with the Kotzmarr organ. The band also attended the Western Maine Music Fes- tival at Auburn and the New England Music Festival at Old Orchard Beach in May. The band topped the year off by marching in the Memorial Day and Flag Day parades. The band is supported financially by the Band Mother's Club. The of- iicers of the band for the 1948-49 year were Ralph Salamone, president: Carolyn Borstel, vice-presidentg Beverly Pettengill, secretaryg Raymond Little, treasurerg Ruth Gagnon, attendance ofiicer, and Dwight Harvie, Student Council representative. S s iv? iv THE ORCHESTRA The Deering High School Orchestra, under the direction of Joseph L. Gaudreau and Clinton Graffam, began this year against great odds, having lost a number of outstanding musicians. This loss was felt chiefly in the string section, however, the new members who joined the organization quickly became acquainted with the high aims and the hard work that it takes to make our orchestra among the best in New England. At one of the first meetings of the orchestra an election of officers was held. Those elected were: Carolyn Borstel, Presidentg Barbara Mitchell, Vice-Presidentg Carol Eaton, Secretary, Joyce Hobbs, Attendance 5 and Elaine Wadsworth, Student Council Representative. Those on the execu- tive board are: Barbara Mitchell, Luella Field, Beth Utterstrom, Lester Nadeau, Ruth Abbott, Elaine Wadsworth, Robert McCarthy, Ruth Gag- non, William Becker, and Richard Roberts. At Christmas time the orchestra gave a Vesper Concert and on February twelfth, its annual evening program. Soloists for the night were Leanne Hawkes, Betty Little, Richard Kurtz, Lester Nadeau, Thomas Downs, Ralph Salamone, Celestia Shackford, Maryjane Curran, Nancy Packard, and a boys' chorus. The Orchestra Mother's Club has worked exceedingly hard, that they might purchase new uniforms for the orchestra. Among the projects to- ward this aim was the Orchestra Talent Show. Prizes were given for the first and second place winners. Those winning these honors were Richard Roberts, first placeg and Donald Axelson, second place. After the program a dance was held in the gymnasium with Donald Spears' orchestra. The members of the orchestra acknowledge with deep appreciation the efforts of the Mother's Club to secure new uniforms for the organization. The orchestra then looked forward to the Western Maine and the New England Music Festivals which were held in the spring. L.. 1- fi if 5- 2 Z1 gm f JB , 1 X W kiiiq awk umm aww Wan? if tm K.

Following usually the Panel form of discussion, it has entertained the Kiwanis Club and the Pathfinders this year, had several assemblies, and sponsored the United World Federalists. It meets once or twice a month and encourages its members to try out for the club panels. Speakers this year who represented the club were Arthur McFee and Richard Cutler who went to Bowdoin to take part in the Inter- scholastic Competition sponsored by the Public Speaking Department of that College. The team alternates were Tom Lathrop and William Stubbs. These four, chairmaned by Bruce McGorrill, spoke before the Kiwanis Club. Others participating at different times were Barbara Mitchell, Allen Levinson, Gregory Lyden, Donald Raymond, Gene Barton, John Mullin, Philip Chadbourne, Bill French, Ann Burkett.

Other officers elected were: Bruce McGorrill, vicepresidentg Millie Groden and Pat Burke, secretary, Tom Lathrop, treasurerg Warren Johnson and William Stubbs, clerks, and Leonard Curtis, sergeant at arms. One of the important accomplishments of the Student Council this year was the selection of a standardized class ring. Barbara Mitchell was chair- man of the ring committee and worked hard in making it possible for the school to have a ring of its own. On October 30-31, Ralph Salamone and Dwight Harvie journeyed to Northfield, Massachusetts to attend the New England Conference of Stu- dent Councils. On October 22, a Student Council Vic-dance was held in the gym. Deering was host to the Southwestern Maine Student Govern- ment Association, November 6. Another Student Council dance was held January 22. The Student Council chartered busses to the Biddeford football game and also to the Lewiston basketball game. Barbara Mitchell has been working faithfully on the Student Council scrapbook which contains all the school events from 1946 to the present day. The Student Council is your organization. It represents all the home- rooms and clubs in the school. The purpose of the Student Council is to give you the kind of a school you want. Let's support it! HUGV Lewis Pearson, president, super'uz'ses the publish ing of the Thanksgiving Day Football Program wzth members of the Deering and Portland H1 Ys HI-Y The Deering Hi-Y Club is comprised of boys from the four classes of Deering. The enrollment this year was enlarged to thirty-two, plus two transfers from other Hi-Y organizations. In addition to be- ing a member of the Student Council, it is sponsored by the Portland Y.M.C.A. and belongs to the State and National Y.M.C.A. Youth Movement. The officers this year were: Lew Pearson, president, Bruce McGorrill, vice-president, Dwight Harvie, secretary, Warren Johnson, corresponding secretary, Mervyn Taylor, treasurer, and Ralph Salamone, chaplain. The Hi-Y Club at Deering, as well as the eleven thousand other clubs in the country, directs its activities to assist in school, community, state, and national problems. Bruce McGorrill represented the State of Maine at the National Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Congress at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio last summer. In the State Y.M.C.A., Ted Whittemore was selected Hrst secretary of the Maine State Older Boys' Conference for 1949. taking over where Bruce McGorrill left off as officer for two years, vice- president in 1947 and president in 1948. Lewis Pearson was elected secretary of the Senate in 1948, at the Youth and Government Student Legislature in Augusta. In civic work, the Hi-Y organized the Com- munity Chest Campaign in Deering and presented a window on Congress Street. In Deering, they published the first Thanksgiving Day program, in conjunction with the Portland Hi-Y. The Third Annual Sno-Ball was presented on February 5. In addition, they cooperated on the cafeteria patrol and had their own column, Let's Give Credit in Ram-blings.

' TRI- I-Y The purpose of this club is to create. maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and the community, high standards of Christian Char- acter. The Tri-Hi-Y club has made a number of accomplishments this school year. First of all, during Thanksgiving time the members were able to get a large basket of food together by making donations. This food basket was given to a family in need. This project being a success we decided to give Christmas presents to another family. The members of the club Went to the home Christmas Eve their arms loaded with packages filled with toys and clothing. To benefit our school, they have decided to obtain a large bulletin board for the office. They hope to fulfill this plan as soon as possible. The oiiicers of this club are Cynthia Cowan, Presidentg Ruth Crosby, Vice-Presidentg Beverlv Pettengill, Secretaryg Jean Swett, Corresponding Secretaryg Arlene Kidder, Treasurer, and Norma Smaha, Program Chair- man. Other active members are Ann Crosby, Jane Evans, Carol Fletcher, Margaret Grover, Janet Gulliver, Joan Huston, Janice Hutchenson, Louise Harrington, Dorothy Laming, Agnes McAlister, Jane Pierson, and Bev- erly Strout. Also: Barbara Mitchell, Patricia Burke, Polly Tanguey, Jane Konaly, Marcia Finberg. Our worthy advisor, who has helped us out a great deal, is Miss Pauline H. Smith.

CAMERA CLUB The Deering High School Camera Club was organized in 1946 to instruct students in the taking, developing, printing, and enlarging of pictures, and under the able guidance of Mr. Hawkes, the faculty advisor, the club has steadily moved forward. This year's officers have been Gerald Beach, presi- dent, Robert Arsenault, vice-presidentg Wendell Learsen, secretary, and Betty Johnson, treasurer. The club meets every Thursday afternoon in Room 201 where it has a fully equipped dark room and members may process films and prints. Ma- jor projects of the year have included monthly calendars with pictures of student interest, snapshots of teams and organizations in school, as well as the taking of pictures for Ram-blings and Amethyst. Members of the club have submitted pictures to school, local, and national salons, some have won prizes. Pictures submitted tothe National High School Photographic Contests by club members have brought to Deering the best country-wide high school pictures for two successive years. During the past years the club has made an excellent beginning and looks forward to a bright future.

Candidates are usually picked by the school sponsors of high school newspapers, magazines and annuals fyearbooksl. The candidate must submit written evidence of jour- nalistic work. Candidates from the year book staffs must have recommen- dation of the sponsor, but they are not required to submit examples of work, as the book itself is suilicient evidence. WRITERS' CLUB Even though we published no collection of the members' writing, we had a highly successful year. The aim, naturally, is to help the members develop a style of writing. At the meetings, many topics were discussed, the technical side of stories, written by the members, were ironed out. The meetings were held at the various members' homes, which allowed the meetings to be conducted at a more leisurely pace, than the usual hurried after-school meeting. The officers of the club were, Edward J utras, Presi- dent, Phillip Cummings, Secretary-Treasurer. The rest of the club is comprised of Nancy Cooper, William French, Barbara Mitchell, Sandra Rosebrook, and last but not least Betty Sparkman. Our class advisor was Mr. William Hill.

Seated, William Douglas, President THE DEERING HIGH SCHOOL RADIO CLUB The Deering High School Radio Club is a club established for students who have a bona fide interest in the field of radio. To become a member of the club one must have learned the Morse Code to a speed of five words per minute, to prove that he has an interest in becoming a member. After he becomes a member, Mr. Dunfee and others already members, give instructions which is needed in becoming a li- censed radio amateur. The club has two presiding officers: the president, William Douglass, and the secretary-treasurer, Glenmore McDuFF1e. Throughout the year committees are appointed to attend to problems that arise. The club has seven active members at the present time. The club has accumulated a considerable amount of war surplus equipment. With this equipment we plan to construct a transmitter for the school with a power output of from two to three hundred watts. The members erected an antenna on the roof of Deering this year that will enable us to con- tact most every country in the world. Mr. Dunfee, our advisor, and Bill Douglass, our only licensed member so far, have communicated with four countries besides many of our forty-eight states. The call letters of our Deering High station is WIRBG . LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Last September saw the realization of what is now one of Deering High School's most active clubs -Le Cercle Francais. The club was organized for the purpose of giving students with an interest of the French language an opportunity to further their knowledge of the subject through informal meet- ings. Because the meetings are divided into two parts-one in French and one in English, members are able not only to engage in French conversation, but also they are able to explore French culture. Heading the cercle are: Arthur McFee as president, Richard Pittman as vice-president, Shirley Plavin as secretary, and Gregory Lyden as treasurer. In all, there are thirty members representing the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. The club has already held a successful picnic and scavenger hunt at Dyke. It has also been ad- dressed by a professor of French from Bowdoin College. A large group of students and teachers of French from five surrounding High Schools were present at the lecture. Movies and plays are being arranged, and, from all indications, Deering's newest club is going to be one of its most successful organizations.

CAFETERIA STAFF The cafeteria staff at Deering is the most efficient group in the school. At recess and at noontime, the girls are standing, ready to be of assistance to those who wish to purchase food. The variety of stock offered at re- cess is a bit unique. Those who are regular customers at recess are able to acquire a ten cent hotdog, which is not to be found beyond the walls of Deering. The noon lunches, prepared by a very excellent staff, are tops in their field. Hats off to the staff which is of great necessity to our every- day school life. JUNIOR RED CROSS The purpose of the Junior Red Cross organization in Deering is to ac- quaint the students with the outstanding work done by the senior organi- zation and to give them an opportunity to serve in their own way. The first project for this year was the annual registration drive. Through this, every student had a chance to contribute to the Junior Red Cross and to become a member of it. At Christmas time we lilled sixteen boxes for overseas shipment. These boxes were filled with small major and minor necessities and went to high school students. This spring we held a dime drive to raise funds for a chest which will be used to start a school in some devastated European country. This box was paid for and Iilled- by the students of the three local high schools. Our meetings, which are held every three weeks, have been presided over by Janice Hutchinson with Beverly Cushman as vice-presidentg Joanne Young, secretaryg and Arthur McFee, treasurer.

DRAMATIC CLUB What did the Dramatic Club accomplish in the winter of 1948 and 1949? To begin with, over one hundred members joined in September, and at the first meeting, the following officers were elected: Gene Barton, presi- dent, Tobe Smith, vice-president, John Gray, treasurer, and Janet Whit- tier, secretary. . Then before we knew it Christmas was upon us. Everyone agreed that the Christmas assembly was one of the best ever seen in Deering. Remem- ber the beautiful Nativity scene and the Glee Club's carols? In the cast were Shirley Johnson, Earl Strout, Electra Paskalides, Kenneth Chadwick, Jerry Miller, Bob Stevens, Tom Lathrop, Tom Walker, Jeff Hodges, Donald Blanchard, and Donald Anderson. Stage Managers were Charles Mason and Bruce Hendersong Pat Huddleson was in charge of costumes. There was to have been an Easter play written by Sandra Rosebrook, but it had to be cancelled. The Dramatic Club also worked on a one act play, entitled Cracked Ice , which they planned to present at a school assembly.

Baker, 28 Tackle Emi Mardigan, 47 FOOTBALL This year Deering came up with one of its best teams in recent seasons. Although the team started slowly, it gradually built it- self into one of the most powerful eleven in the state. Deering lost three out of its first four games, but then won six in succes- sion to attain a record of seven wins and three losses. The first game of the season was against Portland. The Bull- dogs pulled out a 7-0 victory over the Rams in the fourth period, a blocked punt accounting for the lone score. Deering's next op- ponent was Cheverus whom Deering defeated 31-21. Smashing their way through a bewildered and stunned Cheverus team, Speed Valente and Bounce Hodgkins led Deering to its initial victory. On the next weekend the Purple traveled to Lewiston to take on a strong Lewiston team. They beat the Rams 26-0 with Lebel making four touchdowns. South Portland followed Lewiston on Deering schedule, beating us 34-6. The Rams scored first on Harriman's pass to Balente, but South Portland had too much for the Purple in the second half. Undefeated Edward Little next came to town with Lewiston papers predicting a 40-0 victory over Deering, but the Rams had different ideas. When the game was over, Deering had won 14-0 for the biggest upset of the season. Hodgkins and Valente scor- ing on the bootleg from eighty yards out and Speed on the Statue of Liberty for forty-six yards. Both of Swan's kicks were good. Strengthened by this victory, the Purple took on Waterville under the lights. The whole team clicked and the Waterville line was smashed again and again. Simpson and Tanguay each scored three touchdowns as all the backs ran wild in a 54-0 rout over Waterville. R. Brown, 37 ' Tackle End W. Swan, 33 N. Bradstreet, 56 S- Hodges, 52 S. Cooledge, 31 R.

Outstanding in the victory were Simpson and Valente as well as Graham Hay who was the outstanding line man. Deer- ing next took on Thornton and defeated them 21-7. Held to a standstill during the first half the Purple pushed over two markers to win from a surprisingly strong underdog. Deering's sixth victory of the year came at the expense of St. Louis. Earl Harriman's passing was the feature of an exciting 20-15 victory. He passed five times, and all five passes were complete-one for a touchdown. The game was a see-saw battle all the way, but Deering scored in the fourth quarter to wrap up the game. The biggest game of the year was the traditional Thanksgiving Day game with Portland. Deering slogged through the mud for a 12-O victoryg the first in six years on Thanksgiving Day. The Rams scored in the first quarter on a Harriman to Cook pass that covered eighteen yards. Aided by a tricky shift Deering again drew blood in the second quarter. Bounce Hodgkin's thirty-one dash set up the score, with Tanguay going over from the fourth. Deering held on in the second half to prevent Portland from scoring, and had a touchdown by Sawtelle, called back because of backs in motion. There were many outstanding performers, with Harriman, Cook, Valente, and Hay tops, well backed up by Tanguay, Hodgkins, and Brad- street. Congratulations to Coaches Cottrell, Karakashian, and Mallett, and also to the entire team for a fine year. Let's aim for a State Championship next year.

However, Jack Whit- more, Len Curtis, Warren Johnson, Buddy Cook, Ed Mardigan, and Chuch Cameron were all back for the 1948-49 season. Warren Johnson and Len Curtis were co-captains of this year's team with Leavitt the manager. Coach Fred Kosiba led the squad on through a good season, with a record of nine wins and four defeats. The first opponent of the Rams was Sanford, who was trounced 50-21. The Purple next journeyed to Boston, to beat Plymouth 36-30 in the Boston Garden, with Jack Whitmore leading the way. Deering traveled to Augusta for its next victory, beating Cony 41-31 for its third straight victory. The Rams gained revenge for past defeats by triumphing over Cheverus 43-28 on the Expo Court. Deering, led by Johnson and Curtis, had to fight right down to the wire to edge a fighting Stephen's team 35-30. Despite a wild fourth period rally by Edward Little, the Purple won 40-37 for its sixth straight win. With Jack Whitmore out with a bad ankle, Deering lost its first game to South Portland 29-24. The Rams next lost to a superior Exeter team at Exeter 68-44 with Len Curtis the high scorer for Deering. Tired of losing, Deering defeated Portland 37-34, coming from behind in the fourth period to turn the trick. Even though Whitmore and Cook played fine games for D. H. S., Deering lost to a strong Lewiston team by a 48-34 count at the Lewiston Armory. Cheverus was the next foe and was the winner of a 47-40 ball game over Deering. The team next trouped to Kents Hill to annex a victory over the prep- schoolers. Deering lost the fourth game of the season, 46-43, to the Red Riots from South Portland. Saint Louis came next and they were beaten 39-37, with Ed Mardigan and Len Curtis leading the team. In an over- time period Deering lost to the Bates Frosh 48-46 at Bates. Deering faced Portland in the last game of the year, and in a thrilling double overtime, the Purple won 48-46, with Ed Mardigan, Buddy Cook, and Jack Whitmore starring for the Rams in their second victory over Portland. In a play off D. H. S. trounced Stephens 51-34 to earn a berth in the state tournament. Deering again opposed Portland, this time in the tournament, and lost 52-35. The game was close for the first half, but Portland opened up after the half, and knocked the Rams out of the tournament.

Again under the able tutelage of Coach Buck Harvell, his twenty-fifth at our school, this sport continues to climb after a post war decline. There are really three sports in this one: cross country, indoor and outdoor track, each respec- tively in fall, winter and spring. Our cross country team was well represented for Buck's curtain opener by John Honnan, A. Gross, Estes, Clark, McDermott and Chandler. The Exposition Building, where old time track meets had been held be- fore the War, was rejuvenated early this winter with a much needed im- provement, lighter corners on the track turns. This was done to rekindle local interest in schoolboy track. There were dual meets on every Saturday night between all the local schoolsg and these meets were planned to be permanent. Deering was among these schools, and the rising interest helped the Purple indoor squad to get up off the floor from the war time knockout. ' The boys practiced while the snow fell outside, the team was well known for its snow shoveling! The squad, only twenty odd strong was lead by Jack Tetrault who competed in the one thousand yard run, the dashes, and the hurdles. Eddie McDermott, a Cheverus transfer, was the star miler. Doc Becker, Buck's one man team competed in the dashes, hurdles, broad jump and the six hundred yard dash. Rugged Al Bingham was in the dashes and the three hundred. This Spring, the outdoor squad has daily practice on the track behind the school. Among the competitors are the Butler twins, Glen Folsom, Jack Tetrault, A. Gross, S. Helbert, John Honnan, Bill Chandler and Bob Estes. This outdoor team is looking forward to the state meet in the near future with high hopes. Congratulations to Coach Buck Harvell .and his boys, and let's hope their star continues to rise. Bill Chandler Dave Hagar I . - -.- i V U AA. 7 . ....., ..,...,. .

The team had to hustle as the schedule consists of two games each with Portland, South Portland, Chev- erus, Westbrook, Biddeford, St. Louis, Thornton, and Sanford. Last year Deering lost several valuable players because of graduation. The boys who were lost were Bob Simpson, Stan Ladd, Dick Southworth, Eddie Ireland, and Pete Sickels. Although we lost several starters, it is expected that the Purple will field a stronger team than last year. The probable starting lineup is as follows: John DiMatteo-Second Base Leonard Curtis-Left Field Edward Valente--Shortstop Earl Harriman--Catcher John Maguire--Third Base Bounce Hodgkins-Center Field Dick Ellis-First Base Ralph Hendrix-Right Field The pitchers are Frank Gardiner, Ed Mardigan, Cleo Roberts, Warren Swan, and Jack Tanguay. Backing up the starters are a very capable group of reserves: Neal Bradstreet, Jerry Simpson, Ted Tolman, Red Ryder, and Warren Johnson. Deering started off on the right foot by beating Portland 8-6 and West- brook 3-2 in exhibition games. In the first game of the year at Westbrook, Deering trampled the Blue Blazers 20-2, with most of the team playing the curtain raiser. The team seems set for a fine season under Coach Karakasian, so good luck. to the boys and to their coaches. 1949 SCHEDULE Date Place Opponent Date Place Opponent April 21 at Westbrook May at St. Louis April 28 at Thornton May home Cheverus April 29 home South Portland May home Biddeford April 30 at Cheverus May at Portland May 3 home Sanford May at Sanford May 5 home Thornton May home St. Louis May 7 at Biddeford May home Westbrook May 10 home Portland May at South Portland Len Dunham, c Frank Gardiner, p Warren Swan, p MS A s 24 age- Yv, ,ec 'Wm if can 'ia 4 4:24 ,graffi- WWW We ,wax ,ixkgpy 1 if at , , .L ., is ,v 9 , ' ' l.. , Q , ., . e:,,- ,sn ee? 4: rg . .1 Y Q 3 W' . ,zz , Mya. . . - w e-5-,, ., ,- ., -42221: , f. ef' .

Newspapers throughout Maine have carried many stories about your swimming team and all agree that it is the acknowledged third best in the state. We started on' the season with a big splash by winning our first two meets against some very difficult competition and see-sawed our way to many other victories. For the benefit of those who did not have the good fortune or the time to personally inspire our swimming team on to victory the season's line-up was as follows: Leon Stover, Leo Aliberti, and Aliton Hawkes: 150 yard Medley Relay. Paul Royte and Arnold Fickett: 200 yard Free Style. Bill Becker and Wayne Selberg: 150 yard Individual Medley. Bob Brisse and Edward Flaherty: 50 yard Free Style. Ray Cole: Diving. Phil Marshall and Arnold Fickett: 100 yard Free Style. Leon. Stover and Wayne Selberg: 100 yard Back Stroke. Paul Hood and Steve Lowell: 100 yard Breast Stroke. Aliton Hawkes, Phil Marshall, Robert Brisse, and Paul Royte: 200 yard Relay. l ' The team and the school owe a sincere debt of gratitude to Mr. Mangion for his hard and faithful coaching services, and to M1'. Hawkes, teacher of Physics who gave unstintingly of his time and eff0l'tS- Weather held no hardship nor distance any fear for either of these two true Deeringites who were al- ways on deck . Deering is looking forward to a bigger and better swim season for next year.

THE SKI CLUB The Ski Club has completed a very successful year under the able direc- tion of Cynthia Cowan, Director of Instruction and Membership, Carolyn Borstel, Treasurerg Lois Hunter, Secretaryg Bill Stubbs, Trips Director, Pete Sickles, Competition Director, Merv Taylor, Director of Cabins and Trails, and our coach-advisor, Mr. Ted Johnson. Dyke was kept in repair, linoleum laid, and two good trips to Cliff Is- land and Mount Baldface were carried through by the summer committee. We held four mountain climbs in the fall, Huntington Headwall, Mount Washington, Mount Webster, Mount Chocoruag and Moat Mountain. Work trips were busy cleaning up, logging, doing trail work, and piping water into the Farm. Mrs. Andrew and Mrs. Stubbs held parties to raise one hundred fifty dollars with which we replaced the fifty blankets stolen last spring. We bought a pair of jumping skis for our new Coyle Slope Jump, and the school equipped us with six pairs of Langlauf skis. Our full winter schedule was disrupted because of weather and snow conditions. The boys' team made an impressive record of two wins CNor- way and Kents Hillb, a fourth place in the Auburn Carnival, and a fifth place in the State Championship Meet. In the State Meet, Deering kept a third place through downhill, slalom, and cross country, but slipped to a fifth place because we had only two jumpers. Tom Sawyer brought home the team's first trophy, a third place slalom ribbon. The boys' team of Tom Oo sl Look out! Hello down there! C'fWe,fUl, Brlwef GUM!! 1479, TOM? , . .,...,.,. . ,. 5, . .

Stuart Stmuse, Bill Tyler and Maurice Getchcll TENNIS The tennis courts again come into action this spring with Mr. Dunfee coaching the boys. Most of the squad graduated last year, including state singles champ, Kerry Jackson. Back this year are Bob Whitmore and Stuart Strouse. In spite of the great loss of players, the athletic depart- ment has set up a good schedule for the team, in addition to the tourna- ment plans. In order for a student to win a position on the tennis team, he must first report to the courts five days a Week. He may then challenge the number ten man to a match. If he wins this match he may challenge the number nine man and so on down until he has reached either his limit or the num- ber one position. Mr. Dunfee has managed to find two state singles champions in a row, these past two years. We hope that in the years to come he may continue to hold this fine record. The 'Railroad Cheer' during the first football game this year CHEERLEADERS The Deering High Cheerleaders of 1949 will be known as the smart- est, peppiest and most original squad in many years. Under. the direc- tion of head cheerleader B1'uce McGorrill they originated the Sis- Boom, Twist-it, the Boys' Jump, the Quickie and various other cheers. Besides this, they put on rallies before games and chartered three busses to Boston for the Deering-Plymouth game in Boston Garden. The seniors on this squad include Bruce McGowell, Buddy Davis, Lois Hunter, Beverly Cushman, and Connie Webb. The senior subs were Merv Taylor, Nancy Jones, and Nancy Richardson. The Juniors who will return next year are Lillian Murphy, Cathy Ziener, Joanne Young, Greg Lyden and Gump Harvie. Louise Harrington carries the load as the lone substitute.

Absent: Graham Hay 'Uwe presvdent D CLUB The D Club is one of the oldest clubs in Deering, members of which are boys and girls who have earned their D in some sport. These boys and girls helpito maintain the high standards of sportsmanship which Deering has had for so long. The officers for 1948-49 were Jack Tanguay, president, Graham Hay, vice-president, Pat Burke, secretaryg Ruth Beecher, treasurer, and Shirley Johnson, Dick Ellis, Bob Sawtelle, and John DiMatteo, executive commit- tee. Mr. Tibbetts is the faculty advisor. The biggest event of the year was the D Club show. That was the night when the boys received their letters, sweaters, and certificates for excellence in sports. The grand finale to this affair was the presentation of the Mayor and Miss Deering. The only girls who received awards on this night were the cheerleaders. The girls have an award night of their own, the Ram Plaza. This is one of the most beautiful events at Deering. Girls receive sweaters, pins, letters, and numerals for excelling in sports. One of the rules that was passed this year is the rule that permits a boy to participate in only one major seasonal sport a season. If a boy partici- pates in more than one sport, he is not able to do his best in each sport. During the spring, the D Club gives its annual picnic. This is an in- formal gathering and there is always fun for all. If you are not already in sports, why not make it a point to get out with the crowd and join the fun to help put Deering on the top . JUNIOR VARSITY SPORTS The Junior Varsity of Deering ably represented our school this past year of 1948 and 1949. The first team to be mentioned is the junior varsity football team, which was coached bythe popular Pete Mallet. There was a large squad that participated in this year's J. V. games. Besides playing their own games, the team helped the varsity by daily scrimmages, a valuable unsung duty, as the Varsity team will readily admit. Deering's J. V. basketball team was the winner of the city J. V. hoop crown. The team was coached by Clayt Smith who did a fine job with the boys. The first team consisted of Frank Gardner, Ralph Hendrix, Jerry Simpson, Ed Hilton, and John Coolidge. The team compiled an over-all record of sixteen wins and two losses, which is par for any course. The J. V. baseball team is out this season under the watchful eye of Johnny Ham. The team has put in a great deal of early practice because of the fine -weather this spring. Coach Ham's nine plays all the other local J. V. teams in the area and the team has shown great promise in its early games. Members of this squad show great ability and are sure to be with the varsity next year. So hats off to everyone connected with these teams for a job well done. These are the hard working fellows who kept the P0'ftll1'ILd J.

There were many boys of great promise on the squad, such as Freeman Dulac, Billy Whitmore, and Walter Hudder, to name a very few. Among the games played were those against Portland, Cheverus, and South Portland. The basketball team, coached by John Ham, formerly of Cheverus, did very well for itself this past winter. A fine record of ten wins and six de- feats was amassed by the boys of the class of 1952. Several of the boys who showed great potentialities were Dulac, Whitmore, Bomberski, and Leavitt. Deering's freshman baseball squad had some exceptional players, such as Bob Gardner, Skip Strout, Dana Leavitt, Freeman Dulac, and on Lend- Lease from England Denny Dougal. The coach was Huse Tibbets, who somehow found time from his duties as athletic director, to do a fine job with the frosh. The squad is quite small in number, but while it may lack quantity its quality makes up for this. Congratulations to the boys of all the freshman teams and their coaches from the rest of the school. S ATHLETICS T I-I L E T I C S GIRLS' FIELD HOCKEY Deering's spectacular girls' field hockey team completed the 1948 season undefeated! Lead by captain, Ruthie Beecher, the girls were victorious over Westbrook Junior, Fryeburg Academy, Waynilete, and South Port- land. The sub-varsity team kept a clean slate all fall by winning all its games except for a tie 0-0 with Wilton. Many freshman girls showed in- terest in this popular sport, but they played no games. The teams were coached by Elnora Curtis and managed by Norma Smaha, Joanne Greene, and Norma Buckley. VARSITY BASKETBALL J. V. BASKETBALL Front row, left to right .'

The team beat Cony, Westbrook, South Port- land, Cape Elizabeth, Cathedral, and Westbrook Junior College. As only two of the girls on varsity are seniors, it looks like another successful year ahead. The junior varsity and freshmen turned in outstanding records also, but nothing to top the varsity. The expert shooting of Arlene Kidder, Pat Burke, Ruth Beecher, and Norma Smahag and dependable guards Jean Swett, Pat Knapp, Ruth Johnson, and Connie Baade made this team the success that it Was.

A i , gif Q SWIMMING Deering's mermaids, who have been practicing hard during the fall and early winter, placed second in the A. A. U. meet at the Boys' Club last March. Waynflete was first with 36 points, but Deering wasn't far behind with a total of 32. Judy Strout did an exceptionally fine job by getting a first place. If Deering had had some divers we would have tied or maybe even been victorious when the final points were added. The girls were coached by Miss Curtis and Mr. Paul- son, and they were ably managed by Judy Bingham. TENNIS Girls' tennis, for the first time has an instructor, to help the ambitious girls' progress meeting every day of the Week for an hour. The practice is taken seriously both by the girls and their coach, Miss Cowan. Student managers helped by taking attend- ance, and making sure the girls keep busy. These girls were: Lois Mc- Carty, and Winnie Wadwell. It is hoped that by next year or the year after, Deering will be represented in girls' tennis tournaments.

GIRLS' BOWLING This is one of the most popular ac- tivities at Deering, as approximately fifty girls have participated in it dur- ing the six months in which it is ac- tive. The most popular feature has been the monthly Interschool Tourna- ments. Six teams, two from Deering, South Portland, and Portland, bowl each month against each other for a cup to be given to the school winning the most strings. Deering's Team Number 1 is ahead and has never lost their lead. Deering's Team Number 2 has also remained in second place. Deering girls' scores are averaged each month and the ten highest, with at least ten strings apiece, bowl in that month's Tournament. Marilyn Todd, Joeanna Joyce, and Nan Bartlett have bowled in all four Tournaments held thus far. Pat Joyce, Barbara Adde, Virginia Curry, Doris Dunn, Charlotte Fickett, Cyn- thia Kaatz, Beverly Michaud, and Lois Scott have bowled in three. Nan Bartlett was manager this year, assisted by DeAnn Mears. RIDING CLUB The purpose of the Deering High School Riding Club is safety in pleas- ure riding, expertness in show riding, and ability to instruct. This year the Riding Club has done something new in Maine. It started a group of ad- vanced riders who have trained for formation riding at Tomlinson's, and the formation, divided into teams, will drill in shows. The ofhcers of the Club are: Jeanne Murphy, Presidentg Jane Winslow, Vice-Presidentg Barbara Connor, Corresponding Secretaryg Donna Libby, Recording Secretaryg Pat Da- mon, Treasurer, and Miss Jensen, our faculty advisor. The Riding Club has had much suc- cess this year as well as fun with such features as a hare and hound chase, monthly suppers, paper chase ride, competitive trail rides, parties cele- brating the holidays, and, of course, the Winter Carnival at which Jeanne Murphy was elected Queen. Everyone enjoyed preparing for the Deering High School Horse Show in the Spring. At the Inter-Scholas- tic Meet Deering took top honors with many girls demonstrating expert show abilityg and we were very pleased to have girls from Lewiston, as well as Scarborough, Portland, and Waynflete compete with us this year. WOODCARVING AND ARCHERY months, on the arts of woodcarving Left to right: Jean Cressy, Mr da Ea ton. The Archery and Woodcarving Club is one of the most popular extra- curricular activities in Deering. The groups meet twice a week all year round. In the spring and fall the girls and boys can be seen trying to hit the targets with their trusty bowsg while during the winter months they engage in crafts with quite amazing results. The girls receive gym credit by attending the meetings of this club. Mr. Bailey is the faculty advisor for the group and the student directors are: Nancy Sorenson, Secretaryg Jean Cressey, Treasurerg and Sandra Rosebrook, Student Coach in Archery.

Two examples in two hours and twenty more to go! Maybe I can get the answers from Lois Hunter because yesterday I think I heard Bob Linnell say he had finished his. I won't say the Brighton Avenue special is crowded but is it sup- posed to have 105 passengers? On arriving at school, a frosh girl exclaimed, I'll never let anyone touch this book because Jack Whitmore picked it up for me this morning. All eyes turned as Mr. McCann, looking even more dapper than yes- terday, walked into school. Well, all eyes with the exception of John DiMatteo, Jimmy Doyle, and Len Curtis, who were too in- trigued by Ed Mardigan's relating his latest essay contest achieve- ment-very modestly, of course. Warning bell. Steadies, take heed! Parting is such sweet sorrow, but you'll meet again in 20 minutes. Besides isn't that Mr. Young right behind you. Called to the office again, but I know I was in sixth period. I won- der why Nancy Holt and Arthur McFee are sitting on the ofiice bench. Could it be that they're not going to graduate. Let us take a peek into the doings of Problems with Linseed Oilit, perdon me, Major Linwood Elliott. There really is a problem when John Maguire begins cracking his humorous remarks. And there goes Merv Taylor, heading for the nearest National Guard Station. Wasn't that Bev Pettengill arguing with Mr. Elliott over a test question. Miss Ring has quite a time keeping down the subtle humor of her delving historians. The front seats, which some humorist care- lessly referred to as Misbehavior's Row, are occupied by the smil- ing faces of Ann McCuin, Lyn Percival, Nancy Jones, Art Sprague, and we're still a little confused as to which Parisi twin is in the next one. Nancy never stops laughing at Art's jokes, and Art seems to think they're very funny, too. Listening to Miss Ring, I decided she doesn't actually imply Pete Sickels is a farmer but manages to ask him all the questions on rural development. Now for two periods of fun, fumes, and fragrances of Chemistry experiments. Charlie Plumly, whose face turns oh so red when he laughs, hooked his Bunsen burner to the water again today and half-drowned Don Trafton and George Whiting. Bones Plum- mer's chemical concoction blew up for the third time, making the talkative triumvirate of Janet Whittier, Connie Webb, and Sandra Rosebrook retreat to the corner. The Physics Lab boasts a new nickname. Carl is now known as Ivory Snow. l'm wondering if it's because of his lily-white hands. When Mr. Dunfee queried about the advantages of a large battery to a small one-Warren Johnson answered It's the large economy size. The hum of the typewriters, from Miss Dearborn's room catches my ear so let's take a jaunt down to 104A. After careful thought and consideration of the prospects, it was decided that Arlene Kidder, Electra Paskalides, and Barb Mitchell would make much better secretaries than Len Curtis, Dick Bakke, and Chuck Cameron, who, I'm sure, would weigh down anyone's knee. Recess 11 :4O 12:20 There go Donna Pinkham and Bev Stearns looking just as twinsy as ever. It must be hot-dog day because I just saw Bear Brad- street and Gimp Harvie leaving the cafeteria with relish spat- tered on their nice white coat sweaters. Our aspiring mayor for 1951 just passed--none other than Cynthia Kaatz. Oh, those embarrassing moments! Nancy Baldwin's face almost matched her red hair when Mr. Mallet, of Algebra teaching fame, musingly inquired as to who won the game of tic-tac-toe-she or Dot Alward? Maybe Nancy doesn't know that in Algebra class one does Algebra. Then we have a lively class of seniors in 114. The angel without wings but expected to sprout them any day, Bev Pet- tengill, is alibing for Tobe Smith and Jimmy Mahoney who didn't bring their Hamlet books yesterday. Tom Lathrop just burst into the room-spontaneously received by Miss Hueston's word, Here it comes l . This really is the time of day Deeringites come alive. In Miss Farn- ham's geometry class, Ted Whittemore is putting more brilliant illustrations on the board while Ellen Butler and Janet Beem, side b 'd a ree to their accuracy. Isn't that Charlie Connelly doing y S1 e, g his homework? Now, Charlie! If we drop into 213, We find Mr. t t t lk over last Mangion allowing 30 seconds, 29 to be exac , o a night's basketball score with Jo Green and DeAnn Mears. As I stepped in, I had to duck a piece of paper thrown by Bounce or was it Cookie There's the bell and the rush for the special is on. SENIOR GRADUATION PARTS Chairman .... Salutatorian . . .

EDI TOR . . . . WE TAKE OUR LEAVE An editor of a yearbook is never happy until he has accomplished. two things. One is the book itself: by that, we mean whether or not the editor has included all he wishes. The second is a round of thanks to those who worked a little bit harder and a little bit longer, to insure a better book. As far as the first goes, the final judgment is in your opinion, but we have tried to include a bit of everything. However, in this space we would like to pay our tribute to those whose cooperation knew no bounds. First our thanks to Mr. Hawkes. Although we had our moments, his work on the Camera Club pictures kept him in school about every after- noon snapping, developing, and printing shots. Our gratitude also goes to Richard MacLennan who scheduled those pictures. Then to Beverly Petten- gill, the best sport we've met. The long hours she spent in addition to her Ram-blings is deserving of extra thanks. Betty Sparkman should be given a pat on the back for her script at the Amethyst Assembly. And to Marilyn Bustin for an advertising staff beyond compare: to the efficiency of Carolyn Borstel in managing the circulation drives. These two girls are truly outstanding. And to Mrs. Mason and Mr. John Jordan at Roger Paul J ordan's for their superb cooperation in delivering proofs. A special thank you to Mr. Elliott, who suffered through classroom puns, attempts at jokes, wild ideas Qlike a colored coverj and a general appear- ance of a slip shod work. He managed to keep smiling through it all. And now if you hear loud shouts and screams from the sub-master's oflice, it's Mr. Young and Mr. Elliott figuring out our total cost and realizing we overshot the budget. fNext year's Amethyst may be old Ram-blings stapled togetherlj It's due to all the energetic people and many more like them, that brings your yearbook to the publisher. In fact, it is published because 800 stu- dents bought an annual or contributed a picture. Thank you, one and all. BRUCE C. MCGORRILL, Editor-in-Chief AMETHYST APPRECIATIGNS To: Mr. Conrad Kennison and his staff at the Kennebec Journal for their con- stant help and suggestions. To Mr. Dutton of the offset composing room, we owe our thanks for making our change to lithography completely suc- cessful. The studio of the Gannett Publishing Company for supplying the Ame- thyst with valuable pictures, all the year round. Mr. John Jordan, Mr. David Jordan, and Mrs. Margery M. Mason of Roger Paul Jordan Studios for their unusual cooperation in taking the splendid scenic and group pictures here at Deering. Mr. Amos Hawkes and the Camera Club for their shots in and about school. Mr. Ralph Young for his kind consideration and expert handling of our ever so important funds'. Miss Nellie M. Dearborn for her prompt attention to the typing of our copy. Sullivan Studios for the beautiful picture which appears upon our cover. Miss Julia Seabury and her Art Class for posters during the never to be forgotten t'Amethyst Drives . Joanne MacCormack and Millie Groden for their prompt replies on Amethyst mail. John Mullin and Dwight Harvie for constant assistance in overwhelming choresg and all to the staff heads, Marilyn Bustin and Electra Paskalides, advertisingg Carolyn Borstel and Maryjane Curran, circulationg Beverly Pettengill, senior section and general assistanceg Barb Connor and Lin- coln King on Sportsg Thomas King on posters, Dick MacLennan and Dick Cutler for the pictures and write-ups. And a special appreciation to my constant overseer, advisor, teacher, and friend, Mr. Linwood Elliott, who managed to keep his courage up, his criticism just, and his interest keen. To the students of Deering, who, without their interest in their book, their publication would not have been possible. These next pages, 'lil chilen, show just where Pa's coin of the realm dis- appears. In more choice words, we present the Advertising Section. Thus through the yearly courtesy of these merchants our covers for our books are paid for. fThe subscriptions pay for printing, paper and picturesj Kindly show your appreciation by patronizing these people. Remind them you saw the Ad in the Deering yearbook. Donit forget! Winners of the mythical Amethyst ad awards this year are Joan Martin and Carol Stilphen for collecting the most ads. Both girls tied for the honor. The largest amount of money collected was by Kenneth Durant and Marilyn Bustin in that order. Boosters for the Amethyst who contributed for its support were: Mr. and Mrs. Donald McDonald, Mr. and Mrs. Norman L. Shaw, Mr. Carl S. Johnson and Miss Ann Dougherty. Guy Gannett Publishing Co.
