WIGGIN, Principal lt is customary at mid-century to pause, review the past, and make some predictions about the immediate future. In the past fifty years man has literally invented a new World in which to live. The accumulation of scientific knowledge has been without precedent. There seems so much to learn that it is easy to become confused or to accept without criticism the beliefs and practices of the majority. It is well to remember that in spite of the rapid pace of life there remain eternal and constant truths. It is to be hoped that through your being together and through your reading you have, in some measure, increased your acquaintance with these truths. The great necessity of the future is for the individual to resist being swept into the hysteria of such mass movements as those of the past fifty years which have brought us to the brink of ruin. ' There is still need for individual conscience, human dignity, and adherence to estab- lished principles. One need not feel hopeless, for throughout history there have always been people of ability and good will to serve as beacons for those about them. May all of us, to the limits of our ability, accept such a challenge. aww Zi ..- - qc gan., .A , as DEDICATION Cast in iron and inlaid in the brick walk a few steps from the main entrance of Deering High School is this quotation from the Book of John: You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Daily the feet of students pass over it. Each year on Memorial Day around it are grouped those who take part in the outdoor assembly in honor of the school's war dead. Taps sound. Standing in silence with bared heads we listen as the notes drift off to echo. Who knows, we ask, what is truth and how free were those who died? It Was Jesus who spoke the words first, near the time of Gethsemane. He had made his choice. For him truth had been revealed in union with God. Then was the spirit freed from the chains of doubt and indecision. Then was his own mission revealed which led to the cross. Shaped to the world of men and affairs, this simple line has come to take on a new and significant meaning. It has come to express the ultimate, not only in the attainment of the spirit, but in the establishment of an educational ideal. It is the opening of doors to new fields of learning, to a fresh interpretation of the facts, to a renewed insight in a choice between good and evil. In a world that is torn between conflicting idealogies, con- tioned in its thinking by mass communication, it is the power to resist lies, misrepresenta- tions, untruths, and distortions. It holds that ignorance breeds hate, that freedom rests on the ability of an individual to choose, that knowledge must include both reasons for and reasons against. It is the clearing away from one's mind the cobwebs of misunderstanding -the rolling away of stones to let the little lizards of prejudice escape. It is the incessant reaching out beyond the power to grasp. It is vision clear and an intellect without compromise. ' Yet in one sense truth does not make us free. For truth, in its very attainment, forces us to choice. Could Christ, achieving the ultimate, have given us other than the message of the Cross? We are offered only a choice between truth and a repose founded on ignorance. For truth- must be lived. Only then will it have the power of regeneration. ELIZABETH RING.

We have had a busy and prosperous year. The ofiicers are Mrs. Roy St. Clair, President, Mrs. Shirley Hincks, Vice President, Mrs. Norman Catir, Secre- tary, and Mrs. Norman Shaw, Treasurer. Our projects for the year were as fol- lows: A food sale, a fall and spring rummage sale, sale of Christmas cards, a vesper concert, an annual concert, and a barn dance. We purchased a string bass and a snare drum, these are the first instruments the club has ever owned. The orchestra, which is smartly uniformed-thanks to the efforts of the mothers of the preceding year, was given a Christmas Party at the Y. M. C. A. They played three joint concerts, two with the Portland High School Orchestra and the other with Portsmouth High. The spring festivals were held in Sanford, Maine, and Rutland, Vermont. A picnic was held in June. The Senior members were awarded pins, and the two-year members were given emblems. If I have helped to leave one happy memory with any member of this fine group, then I consider my year's work very worth while. ' THE BAND MOTHERS' CLUB l OF DEERING HIGH SCHOOL The Deering High School Band Mothers' Club raises money through its projects to keep the band properly uniformed, to buy music, to defray expenses of the band on trips to the music festivals, and to offer any assistance which would further the best interests of our band. The officers of the club are: Mrs. H. Nelson Raymond, Jr., President, Mrs. Fred M. West, Vice President, Mrs. Raymond L. Strout, Secretary, Mrs. D. Winston Huff, Treasurer. Band mothers meet the first Tuesday of each school month in Room 105 at Deering High School. Members of the club conducted several special projects from September to Jan- uary, which included a dance at the school, rummage sale, coupon book sale, Thanks- giving Day football game collection, a supper at the Central Square Baptist Church, and a holiday tasting tea for which eight of our members opened their homes. January through March was the concert season beginning with a well-attended Fathers' Concert in the High School Auditorium on January 8th, Another successful joint concert was held on February 17th at Medford, Mass., with the Medford High School Band as hosts. Our Annual Concert took place in City Hall on the 10th of March. Other band appearances included the Armistice Day, Community Chest, and Memorial Day parades, a concert for the Grangers in City Hall, and at many of the football games. As a result of club projects and concerts we were able to send the band to the Western Maine Festival at Sanford and to the New England Music Festival at Rut- land, Vt., in May, where they brought added laurels to Deeringis musical fame. The club also presented a matched set of concert snare drums to the band, purchased music, and added materially to the uniform fund. THE PATHEINDERS CLUB The Pathfinders Club is an organization composed of the mothers of students of Deering High School and Lincoln Junior High School. The purposes of the club are to help in the general welfare of the schools, to promote better understanding between parents and teachers, and, by the presentation of scholarships, to assist one or more worthy students of Deering High School to obtain a higher education. In addition, a gift of money is presented to each school. This year the club has voted to provide the necessary funds to purchase the pins to be awarded to those students elected to the National Honor Society. Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month in the auditorium of one of the two schools. Emphasis has been placed this year on friendliness among the members. The club members have enjoyed monthly programs, those presented by the pupils of the schools being particularly appreciated. In November, the pupils of Lincoln Junior High School presented a panel discussion and a play in connection with American Education Week, while the Christmas pageant as portrayed by Deering High School students, with choral accompaniment, was outstanding. In February, a Fathers' Night was held at Deer- ing High School, at which time a great deal of interest was expressed in the demon- strations of the science and radio departments. The bands and orchestra of each school have also been heard at various meetings. Several successful financial projects have been conducted during the year. The officers of the club are Mrs. Scott H. Gordon, President, Mrs. Louis R. Farley, lst Vice President, Mrs. Ernest A. Elliott, 2nd Vice' President, Mrs. Harold C. Bonell, Recording Secretary, Mrs. Carleton G. Lane, Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Roy N. Littlefield, Treasurer.

LORRIE GANNON Ramblings LOIS MCCARTY Salutatorian ALLEN BINGHAM Excellence in Scienre GIMP HARVIE Amethyst SENICR CLASS HISTORY We, the Class of 195 0, have had our share of studies and more than our share of fun. Four years ago we entered Deering, and in our enthusiasm and school spirit we chose Neil Rideout to lead us through our first year of bewilderment and wonder. Assisting him were Jean Driscoll, Bob Bean, Jean Swett, Ellie Briggs, Kathleen Zeiner, and Dwight Harvie. Our Sophomore year saw Buddy Cook as President, Joyce Hobbs, Norma Smaha, Jean Swett, Marilyn SeeHusen, Speed Valente, and Earl Harriman as the other officers. 'iSpeed Valente presided our Junior year. Serving on his staff of officers were Kathleen Zeiner, Jean Swett, Norma Smaha, Marilyn SeeHusen, Jean Hassett, and Buddy Cook. ' Now we have past our Senior year.

We have our musicians: Joyce Hobbs, Joan Graeff, Barbara Mitchell, Jimmy Huff, Ellie Briggs, Geraldine Kimball, and Faye Levinsky. The last caption will include everyone who has not already been mentioned. We have our friends and all-round good sports. Now we are ready to leave the green halls of Deering. We have lived four perfect years in a beautiful school. We wish to thank all of our teachers, classmates, and class advisors for their understanding ways and the links they have furnished in our golden chain of friendship.

CLASS WILL We, the Class of 1950, being entirely uncertain of what is to come and quite amazed that what is past is over, nevertheless, bravely claim to the partially sane and of mind that sounds like a hollow drum. We hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. The 1950 Washington Club leaves the 898 steps of the Washington Monument to those of the Class of '51 who are also foolish enough to attempt climbing it. Mary Johonnett leaves her sweet, never-to-be-forgotten personality to Arlene Reed.

The Class of 1950 with the prodding assistance of Miss Hueston, Mr. Gaudreau, and Mr. Polito leaves. CLASS PRCPHECY When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for a group of people to leave the books which have connected them with each other, it becomes also the desire of every one of that group to borrow those great powers from Drew Pearson and peek into the future to see what it holds for each other. After deep concentration we, the Class of 1950, hold these predictions to be self-evident, That Anne Burkett will write a love-lorn column for the Radcliffe College News. Will Rogers will stand on the White House steps shouting, One country, one con- stitution, one destiny. Margy Bayer will achieve fame in the world of science. Bud Davis will finally be driving a Cadillac. Marilyn Percival will teach all New Yorkers to speak with a Maine twang. John Megquire will be the first Mr. America.

Louise Harrington will ski in the slalom. Allan Bingham will invent the ninth theory of relativity. Harriet Serlick won't surrender until she gets her state- The state of perfection admitted to the union. Bobby Bean will take his eight grand, buy a horse, and spend the rest foolishly. There will be a Joan Gorman original in the Mellen Art Gallery. Jim Huff will be arguing with Petrillo instead of with the Deering teachers. -Ioanie Martin will have grey hair and no freckles. When Dickie Baake becomes police commissioner Columbia Markets will have the best of protection. Everyone will buy Vogue when Kathy's face decorates the cover. Paul Royte will invent some swimming trunks that don't come off in relay races. Jane Winslow will revise the riding system at Wheaton. Betty Sparkman will have found an adequate hiding place where she need do nothing but paint and write all day.

McCann Adviser CLASS GF 1951 CLASS OF 1951 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Our Junior Class has contributed liberally to the life of Deering. In many ways it has proved itself a worthy supporter of the school's activities and has produced fine students. We have spent half of our high school years here and are well acquainted in the procedure. The main interest of the majority of students was in the field of sports. Among the boy athletes in football, you saw Jerry Simpson, Ralph Hendrix, John Coolidge, Tom Walker, and Eddie Hilton running around the Held. Next year we should have a state champion basketball team because of the able support from Frankie Gardner, John Coolidge, Jerry Simpson, Ed Hilton, Ralph Hendrix, and a few new additions. Baseball will find its way next spring. Girls participating in the various sports were Pat Sweeney, Janet Beem, Ellen Butler, Marcia Finberg, Judy Strout, Betty Gamble, and Judy Bingham in basketball, Barb Gulian, Carol Ware, swimming, and Sylvia Amadie, Marilyn Todd in bowling. Interested in dramatics was Pat Jones, debating, Judy Strout, and Earl Strout. Several of our musical classmates who have devoted much of their time to the band and orchestra were Priscilla Riley, Barb Palmer, Lester Nadeau, Betty Lawrence, Betty Little, and Richard Kurtz. In the promotion of Ramblings and AMETHYST, you found the Juniors giving their support. Practically all our time at Deering has passed. And I know that we all regret that only one year remains to enjoy here. The biggest event this year is our Junior Prom and those planning for the affair are the class officers. They include Jerry Simpson, President, Judy Strout, Vice President, Jo Halberts, Treasurer, Arlene Reed, Secretary, Barb Palmer, Ed Hilton, and Paul Butler, Executive Committee. We wish to thank Mr. McCann for being such a helpful class advisor. May our Senior year be as enriching as our Junior year. Respectfully submitted, ARLENE REED, Secretary.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY The Class of 1952 began its second year at Deering well represented in scholars, musicians and athletes. Football found such players as Tommy Edwards, Skin Dulac, Herman Elston, Bob McAfee, Pete Peterson, Don Sturdivant, Ronny Warren, Bob Gardi- ner, Ronold Strout, and many others. Quite a few girls Went out for field hockey, includ- ing Carol Fletcher, Jane Allen, Floppy Hildreth, Judy Blumenthal, Susan Logan, and Bobbie Lanigan. Soon came Christmas vacation, quickly followed by those three dearly beloved days, midyears, and after this the basketball season was on. Many of the above men- tioned also played this sport, but in addition were Allan Lewis, Donny Speirs, Billy Whitmore, Newton Churchill, Dana Leavitt, and Larry Kindbom for the boys, and Anne Feehan, Diane Simpson, Joan Levine, and Sylvia Mardigan for the girls. Our skiers are Dave Webb, John Mclnnis, Dave Switzer, John Fundin, Carol Fletcher, and Floppy Hildreth. A look into rehearsals would show the large number of Sophomores in band and orchestra, and several of our girls have been vocalists in the latter's concerts. We would also iind classmates like Anne Feehan, Dave Webb, Mary Jean McDonough, Mary Lou Splane, Nancy Hubbard, Louise Young, Betsy French, Dotty Alward, Pat Murphy, and Bruce Henderson on Ramblings' and A1N1ETHYST,S staffs. Our class officers were Nancy Packard, President, Leanne Hawkes, Vice President, Florence Hildreth, Secretary: and Robert McAfee, Treasurer. The members of the Executive Committee were Judy Blumenthal, Tom Edwards, and Denny Dougal. To go back to sports, we have Arnold Fickett and Douglas Wilkerson, swimming, and David Hagar, Jim McDermott, Nelson Haines, Donald Welch, and Robert Shaw fmanagerj , out for track. Then, there are those students that make the Honor Roll, are elected to Student Council, work for the Red Cross, and take other worthy jobs, that perhaps are not noticed as much but go a long way towards making things click and should be praised highly. It seems hard to believe, but our initiation period at Deering is over, and we are now the editors, Honor Society, teams, clubs, and Seniors in the making. In the remaining two years we all hope to satisfy our personal ambitions and help to make a prominent and successful Class of 1952. Respectfully submitted, FLORENCE HILDRETH, Secretary. S LJ P E R.

There, in the auditorium, we received some sound advice from Mr. Wiggin, Mr. Young, Miss Dolley, and Mr. Ham. Then, we Went to our homerooms and classrooms and became accustomed to our schedules and acquainted with our teachers. Our first big event was the Freshman Reception which was held on November 4, 1949. The class put on a comedy play entitled, Caeser Crosses the Ribiconf, It was directed by Miss Cowan and Miss Wyman. Also, on the same program, Mr. Polito directed a fine choral group. There were two receiving lines in the gymnasium follow- ing the entertainment, and our parents met the teachers. Then, there was dancing after the receiving lines broke up. The Freshman boys had a good football team coached by Mr. Mallet. The team ended in third place in Freshman competition. One of the team's decisive victories was a 13-6 win over Portland. Those on the starting eleven were Pete Profenno, Dave Frazer, John Andrew, Donny Barnes, Frank Nappi, Jack Sands, Jimmy Smaha, Lloyd Douglas, Walter Davis, Jack Reynolds, and Ted Kurtz. When the basketball season rolled around, Mr. Ham instructed a smooth working Freshman quintet. The team was led by Bob Johnson, Pete Profenno, Dave Frazer, Jack Reynolds, and Jimmy Smaha. This club not only took over local clubs but traveled and played teams like Biddeford and Brunswick. All in all it was a very successful season. The girls also had a sharp basketball team coached by Miss Piacentini. Those on me first six were Judy Miller, Jean Walker, Janet Kimball, Squirt Richardson, Mary Jane Thomas, and Marilyn Gaudreau. The team got off to a slow start but came along fast at the end of the season and was well respected among other girls' Freshman teams. Our Freshman class officers were elected as follows: President, Fletcher Meansg Vice President, Marilyn Lounsburyg Secretary, Robert Gamble, Treasurer, Jack Reynolds, and the Executive Committee included Judy Miller, George Crockett, and Shirley Jo Chilcoat. The class sincerely wishes to thank Mr. Ham, our class advisor, for his help, effort and advice during the year 1949-1950. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT GAMBLE, Secretary.

HIS HONOR AND HER HIGHNESS BUDDY Cook, Mayor NORMA SMAHA, Miss Deering Earl Harriman Jeanne Swett Marilyn Percival Danny Stevens Al Treffrey Carol Garnett THE WINNERS At the left is a shot of our model 1950 Mayor and Miss Deering. Forced to pack all active campaigning into one short day, Norm and Buddy combined incomparable per- sonality with zany brainstorms to emerge the victors from amidst the confusion. Making good use of their great ath- letic backgrounds, the pair cornered the best oratorical tal- ent available in john Barnum Megquier and really put on a show. With support from seemingly hundreds of en- thusiastic rooters, Bud promised a five hour recess and twenty minute class day, twenty cops in the rear of D. H. S. Saturday nights fthereby leaving Payson Park freej, and numerous other desirables that are in great doubt of being realized. Most of all, Norm and Bud had a lot of fun, and saw a dream come true on D night. The only advice offered by our newly elected officials was to the underclass- men. To them, Buddy said, If you're thinking of ever running for mayor, don't do it! THE CAMPAIGN For various and sundry justifiable reasons, our principal saw fit to place a number of restrictions on the Mayor campaign this year. The restriction that had the most effect was the one day ruling on active campaigning. Neverthless, four dauntless couples started the week off by circulating the necessary petitions and lining up prospective sup- porters. As the week passed, campaign meetings replaced club meetings and the aspiring candidates appeared especially well-dressed for just plain old school. Who ya backin'? became the greeting and each day at 1.05 numerous musical organizations were heard re- hearsing for the big day. At 3.00 Thursday afternoon the entire school from the locker rooms to the loud speaking system received a new layer of wallpaper in the form of posters. Some were really elaborate with fotos of burly athletes balancing all kinds of culinary implements on their beans. Then the big day arrived. The corridors were filled with milling throngs eagerly grabbing up cards and blotters and bending an ear to a bell ringing supporter of His Highness the Earl of Harriman. The auditorium resembled a burlesquehouse QI imaginej. Clowns were dangling from the balcony and another one in the form of Dan Stevens was on the stage. A never- to-be-forgotten chorus line featuring Jim Sally Keith Walsh had the audience in stitches. Next came Al Treffrey and his tumblers. While Al gave some sound advice to the leaders of our various school activities, the gym boys performed some very clever stunts in the background. Grap Rogers headed the Harriman court next and Earl delivered the soundest speech heard by the observer in many a moon. Several uniformed athletes dominated the scene. After Buddy's turn on the auditorium stage, active campaigning came to a close, and the students returned to their homerooms at 1.05 to elect Buddy Cook and Norma Smaha to the position of Mayor and Miss Deering, 1950. Norma, Lyn, Cal, and Jean are all to be congratulated for their wonderful sports- rnanship throughout the campaign. I'm sure they all would like to wish the best of luck to next yearis candidates. Only one couple can win, but the important thing is that they can all have a lot of fun!

There has never been a Hner group of enthusiastic workers to contribute to the success of any publication. Almost every picture in this book was taken, developed, and printed by Mr. Amos Hawkes and his camera staff. This book is a tribute to their work. For the first time AMETHYST has become what it should be, an all-student publication. Each department operated efficiently and with the maximum of co-operation. Serious responsibilities were accepted and assignments com- pleted with no questions asked. The heartless editor set deadlines that seemed impossible to meet, but each time they were met. As a graphic example, the Senior Section and Advertising Editors were given until January 1, 1950, to turn in their completed material. The only drawback was the date on which they were given the deadline, De- cember 1, 1949. Needless to say, the printer got his ma- terial the first week in January. , lt was this spirit and willingness to work that met the challenge presented by last year's non-plussed AMETHYST. This year found us greatly limited financially, but deter- mined not to let the subscribers down. It is the sincere hope of all those who made this book possible that it has 1T1Ct with the high expectations and approval of che stu- dents. Next year will Hnd new editors and new staffs, but no year will find better ones. COL. KARL V. PALMER Drill Master , - ez ,gaze stirs is sf? E gigs fr .

Those elected for their respective positions were Ellsworth Briggs, President, Dwight Harvie, Vice President, Joyce Hobbs, Secretary, Geraldine Kimball, Treasurer, Joan Graeff, Attendance Officer, Robert Bean, Student Council Representative. Mr. Joseph L. Gaudreau directed the band with the able assistance of Mr. Clinton W. GraHfam and Col. Karl V. Palmer, who was again very efficient as drill master. W'ith these men as leaders, the band has completed one of the most successful years since its beginning. The band was composed of approximately one hundred pieces for marching and drilling. With this number, the band faithfully played at football games and local parades in the fall. The concert band, which was composed of eighty-eight members, played their Hrst formal concert for the Grangers in the City Hall. This was followed by the annual Father's Concert at which the public first heard the band in concert form. After this, everyone began to plan for the trip to Medford, Massachusetts, where they would play a joint concert with the Medford High School Band in their auditorium. This concert, which was one of the most outstanding concerts ever given by two high school bands jointly, featured many diffi- cult numbers. About three weeks following this concert, March 10th, the Deering Band played their annual concert in the City Hall. Finally, Portland people heard the very difficult and thrilling 1812 Overture played expertly by the band. The band is now planning for the Western Maine Music Festival to be held at Sanford, and the New England Music Festival to be held in Rut- land, Vermont. These numerous trips which the band takes are made possible through the hard work of the Band Mothers Club. MR. CLINTON W. GRAFFAM, JR. Assistant Direcfor MAN OF THE YEAR JOSEPH L. GAUDREAU Next year will be Joe's', fifteenth as conductor of the D. H. S. Band and Orchestra. AMETHYST is proud to title him the 1950 Man of the Year. Joe came to us in 1936 from professional violin playing and conducting for the four major theater corporations of the day, the Keith, Leow, Publix, and Maine and New Hampshire Corporations. Joe took over the seventy piece band pictured below from Mr. Frank Rigby. Mr. Rigby is still active as a teacher and avid fan of the Deering band. .Each year since 1936 Joe', has taken his band and orchestra to the Maine and New England Music Festivals. Each year since 1936 Joe has brought his organizations back with First Division ratings. Last year saw unlimited plus-signs beside each A. When' Mr. Gaudreau started, he was responsible for every school music program in the city. In his second year the D. H. S. Band Mother's Club was organized, and six years ago Clinton Graffam became Joe's right hand man. oe is a friend to all. He ins ires a remarkable lo alt in his ro- P Y Y P te es and has never let a kid down. He feels that music abilit is onl a S Y Y part of a musician's training. A good spirit, a sense of responsibility, character development, and a sense of humor are viral to a well rounded education. We who l,ave had the privilege of serving under and working with Joe want to thas' lim from tl .e bottom of our hearts for his wonder- ful directing, tea.,i.ng, and companionship. In the years to come our most pleasant memories will be of the hours spent in rehearsal and in i'Joe's kitchen. Thanks again, Joe, and may your next fifteen years be as successful as the last fifteen have been. oes Tzrst Band - 1936-1937 ...From fbis . . . 1' ' I s.............:..........-,..f.,.-......,.-..,.- ,- Lg if wfQ 4' Vwbqbbb 2 i f 3 VI A J' 4 o , THE DEERING HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA The Deering High School Orchestra started its very active year in October, appear- ing in a joint concert with the Portland High School Orchestra at Portland High, which was a part of the program celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Portland Evening School. H As the presentation of joint concerts appealed to the members of both orchestras, plans were made to again combine the Deering High and Portland High Orchestras at some future date. At a meeting of the orchestra in September, the following officers were elected: Geraldine Kimball, President and Student Council Representative, Roy St. Clair, Vice President, Betty Little, Secretary, Richard Roberts, Treasurer, and Thomas Downs, Attendance. Members of the Executive Board were: Barbara Mitchell, Luella Field, Gloria June Davis, Geraldine Kimball, Joan Graeff, Norman Catir, Roy St. Clair, Richard Roberts, Alvin Morrison, and Carol Eaton. The Orchestra, under the capable direction of joeseph L. Gaudreau and Co-Director, Clinton W. Graifam, presented a Vesper Concert on December 4, in the Deering High School Auditorium. The annual, formal, evening concert was given in the school audi- torium on February 11, with Geraldine Kimball, Carol Eaton, and Thomas Downs, solo- ists, and Richard Roberts, accompanist. The Western Maine and New England Music Festivals and graduation exercises were important events that closed the school year. We are grateful to the Orchestra Mothers' Club for their help each year. wa-Q NI aah in RAM-BLINGS ADVERTISING STAFF Left to right: Ruth W'a'sl1, Pat Everest, Rutla MrDonald, lane O,Brien, Lois McCarty, Margery Bayer, Eleanor Nickerson.

In order to make it a memorable year, the editors have increased news coverage of school and extra-curricular activities and enlivened the format with numerous pictures and attractive features, in an effort to make Ram-Blings a more interesting and representative Deering publication. Student response to these efforts were rewarding--increased circu- lation! The new staff system adopted this year also helped to improve the paper. Instead of the usual two associate editors, Lorrie Gannon, Editor-in-Chief, was assisted by an ad- visory board of live members. This board consisted of Barbara Mitchell, Betty Little, Harriet Serlick, Dave Ritchie, and Ted Whittemore. Business and advertising were handled by Jane O'Brien and her assistants, Ruth and Marion McDonald. Heading various departments were: circulation, Jean West, exchanges, Linda Brow, art, Joan Russo, Jeanette Crane, Bud Quincy, sports, Jo Halberts and Ted Whittemore. Photog- raphers were Issie Allen, Wendell Learson, Betty Cross, Charles Hill, and Neal Bragdon. The advertising staff, which put on a very successful drive this year, consisted of Anne Livingston, Catherine Miller, Anne Riley, Dorothy Brow, Peggy Keeley, Frances Weis- berg, Margery Bayer, Lois McCarty, Louise Harrington, Gloria Keith, Charlotte Healey, Patricia Everest, Ruth V'alsh, and Mary Johonnett. Active regularly on the editorial staff were Janet Beem, Ellen Butler, Issie Allen, Nancy Sorensen, Norma Smaha, Jean West, Kathie Zeiner, Ann Burkett, Joyce Hobbs, Marilyn Levine, Janet Kimball, Marilyn Percival and Marilyn Wadleigh. And, it was, again, the guiding hand of the capable Mr. John McCann, whose ever present friendly suggestions were one of the leading factors in making this another suc- cessful year of publication for Ram-Blings.

President Mitchell in action . . THE FORUM The Forum under the able leadership of Miss Ring has had a very active schedule this year. The first subject debated was Will Russia's Discovery of the Atomic Bomb Threaten World Peace? The next debate on the Forum's agenda Was the annual Bow- doin debate in December. The topic of this debate was: Should the United States Revoke her Reciprocal Trade Agreements Acts? Gregory Lyden and Philip Nectow represented Deering at this debate. The same subject was also debated at the Kiwanis Club. Several other debates are also planned for this year. Among them is a debate before the Amicitia Club of the Central Square Baptist Church, another school debate, and an evening debate to be presented before the public. Although the Forum has a heavy debating schedule, it also has its social times which usually include a Christmas Party, and a picnic in the Spring. The Forum has quite a number of veteran debaters this year. Among them are: Gregory Lyden, Bill Becker, Barb Mitchell, Dwight Harvie, Alan Levinson, Harriet Serlick, and Don Raymond. There are also some excellent new debaters this year. These include Judith Strout, Earl Strout, Phil Nectow, and John Megquier. The officers are: Barbara Mitchell, President, Gregory Lyden, Vice President, Nancy Cohen, Secretary-Treasurerg and Dorothy Bernstein, John Mullin, and john Megquier, Executive Committeemen.

Davis, Jr. YOUR STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT SPEAKS - The Student Council started its Sth year by electing Vice President, Marilyn See- Huseng Secretary, Mary Johonnettg Sergeant-at-Arms, Ted Whittemoreg Clerks, Barbara Mitchell and Carl Snow, with appointed Treasurer, Norma Smaha, to preside with President Merton Davis. The first project of this year was the Community Chest Drive, and Deering was highly commended for exceeding its quota. During the football. season buses were chartered to the Lewiston and Biddeford games. Another important accomplishment was the beanie sale to promote Deering's school spirit. Bob Whittemore was the hard-working chairman who secured the reserve section at the Thanksgiving game. About this time Christmas rolled around and the Yuletide spirit was shown by the Student Council by giving a food basket to a needy family. The outstanding dance of the year was the famous S. D., Sadie Hawkins, Stocking Dance, which was sponsored by the Student Council. President Bud Davis and Steve Snow were Deering's representatives to the New England Student Government Association in Andover, Massachusetts. Leanne Hawkes, Jane Winslow, and Mary Fournier worked faithfully on the scrap- book containing articles concerning Deering's activities and students from 1946. While speaking of our accomplishments we would like to give credit to Judy Strout, the newly elected president of the Southwestern Maine Student Government Association. The Student Council sponsored two assemblies, one to acquaint the Freshmen with the Deering clubs and one to install the Council's members. The Student Council will back the proposed exchange of students with a Massachu- setts High School for one week next year. N DRAMATIC CLUB 3 Why not stop a minute and read this? I know youire all so excited about scanning the book to see how many times you got your picture in that you can't really be bothered with reading a lot of dull Writeups. But please take a minute to read this oneg you won't be sorry. We'll guarantee that! To'begin with, our Dramatic Club is known the world over for such presentations as Dear Ruth, Strange Boarders, The Flying Gerardos, and Jenny Kissed Me,,' all under the direction of Mrs. John Gulliver. It is positively 'the most fascinating or- ganization in Deering High School because its qualifications for membership can fit anyone and everyone. Its Christmas assembly this year which presented Handel's Messiah was undoubt- edly one of the most beautiful in years. If you don't believe us, just ask Ethel Barry- moreg she was in the audience. The officers this year were Kathy Zeiner, Presidentg Earl Strout, Vice Pre entg Ann Hildreth, Secretaryg and Mary Johonnett, Treasurer. All these people helped make the club what it is. Oh yes, and you'd better keep track of all the actresses and actors on your Deering stage because someday you may see them on Broadway! W' ho krmws???

For Donna has been receiving an education from a guy by the name of Wentworth, and wants to give up flying and go to school. Inevitably the two fall in love, and William lWentworthj wants to join up with the show. The Gerardos are horrified and refuse to even con- sider such an idea. However, Chick dreams up a plan to get rid of Willie once and for all . . . on the trapeze!! The scheme works . . . Willie falls off and Donna is frantic. Finally, Mama and Doc decide that it's better to let Wfillie join the troupe than to lose Donna. Every- thing looks Hne until in walk Willieis Aunt Thucy and a Doctor Jellicoe, whom Donna has phoned.

Great credit should be given to the back stage crew, without whose help the play would not have been a success. With many memories of long, but fun-packed rehearsals, the thrill of being in front of the footlights, and the op- portunity of acting with some of the best classmates there are, the Class of 1950 leaves the Deering stageg and with such memories, feels that it has been rewarded for its time and effort in producing Jenny Kissed Me.

CAMERA CLUB The Deering High School Camera Club, now in its fourth year, is gradually becoming one of the most popular clubs at Deering. This year the officers were Robert Arsenault, Presidentg Neal Bragdon, Vice Presidentg Elizabeth Johnson, Secretaryg and Alice John- son, Treasurer. There were about 25 active members in the club. Each Thursday afternoon a short business meeting was held from 1.30 until 1.45. Afterwards members remained to develop Hlms and print or enlarge pictures in our well equipped dark room. The club has 4 enlargers, 3 print boxes, and 5 developing tanks, which enables a number of persons to work together at the same time. For the first time, a new course of photography was held fourth period, five days a week, with Mr. Hawkes, the advisor of the club, as instructor. The 15 people in this class have done much of the work that the club did in past years, such as, making calendars every month and taking, developing, and printing the pictures used by Ramblings. But since many of the club members also took the course of photography, the work was really done by the camera club, too. The club has had a very successful year and hopes for more success in the years to come. i il: , ,A Miss Johnson Mr Harmon Among the new activities organized this year at Deering was the photography class. Conducted by Mr. Amos Hawkes, the class began in September with fifteen members. All were amateurs and several confessed to knowing only one thing about photography- how to click the shutter. As the year progressed the eager shutter flickers mastered the intricacies of taking, developing, printing, and enlarging films. They seemed to develop a nomenclatureof their own, conversing in some strange lingo that dealt with double X's and sorry no 15.5 just 6.7. Several of them learned to color their pictures and produced much very professional appearing work. At their Mid-Year Salon, held in the D. H. S. library, nine different photographers out of twelve placed. The contest was judged by Mr. Leadbetter and Mr. Harrington of the Portland Camera Club. The group has a great deal of outside work. It assists in producing AMETHYST and Ram-Blings picturesg it prints the monthly camera club calendars, it enters numerous contests and salonsg and it takes various field trips. If any of you wish to become a member of this class, the only requirement is that you own your own camera. Mr. Hawkes is to be congratulated for his success with this group and wished the best of luck in future years.

QUILL AND SCROLL The International Quill and Scroll is an honorary society of high school journalists sponsored by Northwestern University. Candidates are usually picked by the school sponsors of high school newspapers, maga- zines, and yearbooks. Each candidate is required to submit written evi- dence of journalistic work. Candidates from the yearbook staffs must have recommendation of the sponsor, but they are not required to submit examples of work, as the book itself is sufhcient evidence. Deering's sponsor is Mr. Linwood Elliott, who is also our yearbook advisor. FRENCH CLUB Le Cercle Francais entered its second year under the guidance of Mr. Rolfe. The ofHcers were elected as follows: Robert Arsenault, Presi- dent, Janet Beem, Treasurer, and Marion McDonald, Secretary. The French table in the library and the vocabulary posters in the French rooms were projects of the club. For the table, a map was made which showed the provinces of France. Many products of each one were listed and illus- trated. The posters bore words of general interest on subjects such as music and art. Plans are now underway for the presentation of a play in February and a Masquerade Ball in May.

THE DEERING HIGH SCHCOL RADIO CLUB The Deering High Radio Club was established by a group of students a few years ago, to give to its members, having an interest in radio, a chance to advance in that particular field. Those who Want their amateur licenses may meet the requirements through this club. There are also opportunities for those who are interested in the construction of radio equipment. The only requirement for becoming a member of this club is to learn the Inter- national Morse Code to a speed of five words-per-minute, to show that one has an interest in radio. The officers are William Douglass, President, and William Tuttle, Secretary- Treasurer. We have recently bought a 400-watt final amplifier which uses two 812's in a push pull circuit, and an exciter to drive it. The powersupplies for these have been con- structed by the members of the club. Our station call letters are W1RBG. JUNICR RED CROSS The goal of the. Junior Red Cross at Deering is two-fold. First, it seeks to acquaint the students with the aims and work of the National Junior Red Cross. In the second place, it urges students to participate actively in its services. ' During August of this year, the Portland Red Cross Chapter sent David Shaw as the Deering representative for 12 days to the Regional Training Center at Wellesley College Campus, Wellesley, Massachusetts. The first activity in the fall at Deering was the Enrollment Drive. Then at an assembly before Christmas vacation, Fred Holt, State Forest Ranger, spoke and showed moving pictures on fire hazards and forest fire prevention. The major project at Deering for the year was to H11 and send a Chest overseas. In January a benefit square dance was planned to raise funds for this chest. The meetings of the year were presided over by David Shaw, President of the Coun- cil. Hugh Hodgkins acted as Treasurer and Marilyn Percival as Secretary. Newton Churchill was the Vice President. FV? CAFETERIA STAFF At recess all Deeringites rush to the cafeteria to talk through a steaming hot dog, or to try to lap the ice cream of a Dixie cup stabbed with a spoon, or just to share potato chips with their friends. They are waited on by seven cafeteria girls who thoroughly enjoy their work and the opportunity it gives them to become acquainted with those at Deering whom they may not know. One girl sells hot dogs and ice cream to the teachers in the home economics suite. Others work at noon at the pupils' and teachers' lunch counters and the sandwich counter. Mildred Groden supervises the girls and Mrs. Corson and her staff do an excellent job in the kitchen and in supervision of the whole cafeteria. BOWLING One of the many sports in which boys and girls participate during the winter is bowling. Over thirty boys turned out for their intra-mural sport. The Senior Class boys won and were awarded a trophy by Happy Frank. A trophy was also awarded to Captain Emile Carrier, Jr., for high average of 96, and high single of 117. This year was brought to a close with a banquet and splash party, honoring the Seniors. The ten girls with the highest average play in a monthly tournament. They bowl Portland and South Portland for top honors in the city. The Deering girls have Won tournaments for the last two years, and if they win this year the bowling trophy will be Deering,s. Barbara Adde took the high single for the tournament with 105, and Cynthia Kaatz was elected captain of the team. THE DEERING HIGH SCHOOL CADET CORPS COL. KARL V. PALMER MAJ. LINWOOD ELLIOTT 1 9 4 9 Girls' Cadet Corps 1 9 5 O 1 9 4 9 Boys' Cadet Corps 1 9 5 O CADET OFFICERS - GIRLS DEERING CADET CORPS The Deering High School Cadet Corps, under the instruction of Colonel Karl V. Palmer and Major Linwood S. Elliott, has been a leading organization this year at Deering. The Girls' Cadet Corps, of about 200, is .divided into two battalions, led by Lt. Colonels Luella Field and Charlotte Moreshead, who with their staff direct the drilling. Lt. Colonel Wendell Learson, with his staff, headed by Major Seldon Kates, is com- mander of the boys, battalion. X The cadets play an important part in school activities with participation in the annual Memorial Day service, parades, and the Cadet Drill and Ball. The Cadet Ball' is the culmination of all the drilling and preparation by the cadets during the year. The program consists of a Regimental Formation, Competition and Special Drills, and an Evening Parade Ceremony made up of the combined battalions of Portland and Deeringnl-Iigh Schools. At this time commissions are awarded to all the oiiicers, a cup for the best company, a cup for the best battalion, and a medal for the best line officer and cadet. - This year, the oflicers of both corps have formed an Officers' Club and have joined with the Portland High Oificers, Club in making general plans for the Cadet Ball and for social and money-raising projects. The Cadet Corps is the oldest organization in the local high schools. Tradition says it was founded by ex-soldiers of the Civil War, and it has been a going concern ever since. This year, the best company drill at the Annual Drill and Ball went to A Company of Deering, Captain Carleton Thurston. The best girls' battalion was won by the 4th fDeeringj Battalion, Lieut. Colonel Charlotte Moreshead commanding. Captain Sally Banks was awarded the medal for the best girl cadet officer, and Captain Jerry Smaha received the best boy cadet officer medal. The best girl and boy cadet medals went to Doris Goon and Arcadus Pierson respectively.

This year, the Ram-yellers, without a doubt, enhanced this reputation. Under the able supervision and quick thinking of head cheerleader, Gimp Harvie, the squad man- aged to make hundreds of beanie-clad rooters yell themselves hoarse on Turkey Day. CAlas, a lost cause.j The squad also chartered two buses to the Plymouth-Deering bas- ketball game at Boston fwhich, incidentally, we won 37-331. The squad consists of the Seniors-Gimp Harvie, Gregg Lyden, Kathy Zeiner, Joannie Young, Louise Harring- ton, Lillian Murphy, and Bud Davis, substitute, Juniors-Paul Butler, Bill Butler, Pat Leigh, Ellen Butler, Eileen Wagner, and Jo Halberts, substitute. And when you all saw the students with beaming faces pouring out of the gym- nasium, you, of course, knew it was because of the swell rally just put on for them by the Deering cheerleaders. There remain only two things left to say then: Bye, Seniors. We'll never forget you! AND Keep yelling, Juniors, so we w0n't forget you! AH u,,I,0w,l Xbof of me D,,,,,i,,g Ram.

The buzz, buzz, buzz, of the jigsaw, and the bang, bang, bang, of a hammer hitting either a nail or someone's finger, are sounds almost everyone has heard coming from Mr. Bailey's shop three afternoons a week during the year. It is a familiar sight to see a girl puzzling over an eggbeater drill or wishing that the school had an electric machine to sandpaper the wood for her bookcase. These things are taken for granted by those who attend and are all a part of the friendly atmosphere that prevails in room three. This very active club was organized in 1935 by Frank Bailey. The club still holds that name although the facilities for other forms of handicraft such as metal, leather, and gimps are also available to those who attend. In 1937, Skipper, as almost everyone calls Mr. Bailey, organized the Archery Club. During the winter the girls made their bows, arrows, and other equipment, and in the spring they got out the target and made use of their winter labors. The club started with four members and no equipment and has grown to over 100 girls with sufhcient equipment for everyone. Thomas King is student archery coach. Nancy Sorensen is Secretary, Elizabeth Green is Treasurer. A few of the Woodcarving Class take careful note of an expert at the jigsaw. l V HI-Y OFFICERS Left to right: Dwight Hurvie, Treasurerg Don Ridcout, Presidentg Allen Bingham, Vice Presidentg Ellsworth Briggs, Corresponding Secretaryg Merton Davis, Secretary. THE D. H. S. HI-Y CLUB In 1946 the Deering Hi-Y was organized, and has been an active club throughout Deering since that time. Its chief reason for being is as a service club to the school. They accomplish this purpose in various waysg cafeteria patrolg a gift to the school each yearg and by helping in different drives such as Cancer. In order to pay for the school gift. they have their Thanksgiving Day Football Programs and the annual Sno-Ball Dance. Another purpose of this money is in sending the fellows to training sessions, legislation and conveyances. Any registered male student in Deering High School is eligible for membership in the Deering Hi-Y. If'any student wishes membership into the club he may submit his name to any fellow already in the club. The qualifications are not rigid. A boy must be passing and he must have an interest in the club. The method of voting is familiar. The boy's name is brought up at the meeting by the fellow to whom it was submitted and is discussed. A vote is then taken, majority ruling. One of our chief projects for the year is attending various churches of different religions. I suggest here that more clubs throughout the school take this as a project. In times like these religious tolerance is a wonderful thing. w TRI-HI-Y OFFICERS Seated, left to riglat: Arlene Kidder, Vice President, Norma Smaba, President, Marcia Finberg, Treasurer Standing: jean Swett, Secretary. THE D. H. S. TRI-HI-Y CLUB The Deering Tri-Hi-Y has been in existence for three years. This club, which is affiliated with the Y. M. C. A., is open to any girl in the four classes of Deering. The purpose of Tri-Hi-Y is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, the school, and the community, high standards of Christian character. This year the Deering Tri-Hi-Y Club has made a number of noteworthy accomplish- ments. In November, the members made up a Thanksgiving basket and presented it to a needy family in Portland, and at Christmas they also presented this family with food and gifts. In January, the Tri-Hi-Y headed the March of Dimes campaign at Deering, which proved to be very successful. The club which meets every two weeks is presided over by Norma Smaha with Arlene Kidder as Vice Presidentg Jean Swett as Secretaryg Marcia Finberg as Treasurer, Carol Fletcher as Program Chairmang and Agnes McAllister as Corresponding Secretary. Other active members include Ann Crosby, Mary Fournier, Virginia Gray, Janet Gulli- fer, Louise Harrington, Jane Kanaly, Dorothy Laming, Barbara Mitchell, Valerie McMin- nimon, Jane Pearson, Nancy Sorensen, Beverly Strout, Judy Strout, Gretchen Stubbs, Polly Tanguay, and Karen Thorsell. Miss Pauline H. Smith, who has helped in many ways, serves as the club's worthy adviser. I B - D CL UB OFFICERS Sitting, left to right: Arlene Kidder, Treusurerg jean Swett, Secretary.

At the first meeting after receiving their Dv they are sworn in. The officers for 1949-50 were Ed Valente, President, Earl Harriman, Vice President, Jean Swett, Secretaryg Arlene Kidder, Treasurer, and Connie Baade, Dot Laming, Neal Bradstreet, Warren Swan, and Dick Bakke, Executive Com- mittee. The faculty advisor was Mr. Huse Tibbetts. This year it was decided to hold three events to give out the- awards. The first was Award Nightv held in December. Fall sports' awards were given out. The annual D Club Show was held March 31st, the major interest being the presentation of the Major and Miss Deering of 1950. In the spring, the seasonal awards are made at the annual Ram Plaza, which includes the awarding to both the boys and girls. A club scrapbook was started this year and will be continued from year to year. An annual picnic is planned for the club during the spring, this being the Hnal meeting of the year. Closing, I would like to leave you with this final thought that has been echoed throughout Maine by the famous sports announcer, Bud Cornish: If your boy's in sports, he's not in mischief!

The Purple team won seven games and lost only three, proving itself to be one of the most powerful teams in the state. The opening game of the season was against Portland. The Rams pushed through to a 10-0 victory, Warren Swan scoring all the points in the third period, with a 35-yard sprint, the following point, and a placement. Deering defeated its second opponent, Cheverus, 13-7. Simpson and Cook crossed the goal for the Deering tallies. Deering s first defeat came at the hands of Lewiston with a 27-6 loss although Deering was the first to cross the Lewiston goal this season. The Purple next pulled out a 19-18 victory over South Portland with a dropkick by Hodgkins which bounced on and over the crossbar for the winning point. Edward Little handed Deering its next defeat by a score of 33-14 even though the Rams crossed the Edward Little goal first. Deering's sixth game saw the Purple eleven click for a 31-6 win over Waterville, Valente and Cook each scoring twice. The next weekend saw Biddeford High come to town for a 41-13 trouncing. Hendrix and Simpson both went over for two markers each, while the Biddeford defense crumpled before the Ram line. Deeringis next onslaught was against Thornton Academy, the score being S4-7. Outstanding for the Purple in this game were Hendrix with a 99-yard run and Simpson with a 96-yard run, both leading to paydirtg and Speed Valente who racked up four of the Ram touchdowns. Deering pulled through to a 21-20 win over St. Louis the next weekend. Deering's seventh win was a battle all the way, but Swan's placekick gave the Purple the winning point. Congratulations to Coach Williams and his staff, along with the entire team, for a fine season of good, clean sport. r 5 Speed Valente , 3'WMsf2iYi,ig : -: . .

Coach Williams Hibbard McClain Blkke Swan A word about owr coach Deering has many fine capable coaches, one of whom, Wally Williams, our football coach, has been with us for only a year. After attending the Boston public schools, in 1937 he went to Huntington Prep School where he won four letters in athletics. When the War broke out, he enlisted in the Marine Corps as a private. While in the service he played for the El ooroi' football team, the Marine Corps Champions. a team made up of 14 All-Americans. He was discharged as a Captain in 1946, and finished his course at Boston University, receiving his B. S. in Ed. While Wally was there he earned eleven letters in these sports: basketball, baseball, football and track. In 1946 he played professional footba-ll in the A. A. C. league for the Chicago Rockets. From there he Went to the Boston Yankees of the National League, whom he played for, from 1947 to 1948. In 1949 he returned to B. U. to receive his master's degree in Education. We are fortunate to have a football coach with so much trainin and ex erience. - n I gn P Q Under hlS uidance, we are confident that Deerin 's football team will be to s 1n g S P the future. 1 -, L. an - - ' A 2 x ' -. , A ,,., .,.. - . .' , .

FOOTBALL JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL Deering's J, V. gridiron team played only six games this year which did not really give them a chance to get warmed up. Their record for the season was not outstanding but these boys all de- serve much credit for being in there fighting all the time. The first game of the season was against Portland at the stadium. Portland tooklthis one 25-7. The rest of their small schedule included two games against Cheverus, two against South Portland High, and a second game with Portland. These were also lost unfortunately, but several of them were close, especially the first game against Cheverus and the second with Portland. Some of the outstanding players in these games were Gardiner, Peterson, Tanguay, Leavitt, and Dulac in the backfieldg and Cameron, Walsh, Hilborn, Parsons, and Tibbetts in the line. Congratulations and good luck in the future to Coach Gordon Beem, a Deering grad, and to all of the' team mem- bers who will be making their bid for fame in the Turkey Day Game, 1951 and 1952. FRESHMEN FOOTBALL The call for recruits for the Frosh football team was answered by a turnout of over fifty boys. The Freshman schedule this year was made up of several games each with Portland, Cheverus, South Portland, and XVestbrook. The Frosh team fared well, winning half of the games they played and coming close in several of the other games. There were several outstanding players on- the Frosh team, too many to list here. John Andrew was elected honorary captain of the team. Good sports all, the members of this team, the varsity team of 1953, deserve the congratulations and good wishes of all of us for a good year and a job well done.

VARSITY BASKETBALL - 1950 Deering's 1950 basketball team, under the guiding hand of Coach W'aIly Williams, started its action campaigning during the Christmas vacation. In spite of the loss of several of last year's outstanding players, such as Ed Mardigan, Lennie Curtis, Jack Whitmore, and Warren Johnson, the Rams had a fine year, winning eight games and losing only five. ' The Hrst two games of the year were off-the-record games with the Portland Boys' Club and with a team made up of the Deering Alumni. Deering lost a close one to the Boys' Club, but trounced the Alumni soundly. Deering's schedule also included two games with Portland, two with South Port- land, two with Cheverus, one with Westbrook, one with Morse, two with Edward Little and two with Lewiston High. In the first game with, Portland, Deering lost and unfortunately not by a close score. The team lost the second game also, but this time by a much closer score. Two very close games were played with South Portland, both of which were winning games for the Deering five. The second game was one in which the lead changed hands several times. This game went into an overtime in which the Deering team came through victorious. The team broke even in two games with Cheverus, winning one of them and losing the other one. Deering's next win was over Morse High of Bath by a wide margin, but this victory was cut short by a not too close score with the powerful Lewiston team. This defeat was one of the worst that the team suffered. Another close game was played with the Westbrook team. The lead in this game changed hands at each quarter, but Deering finally lost out in the final quarter after a hard-fought, well-played game. Deering took another close one with Edward Little High of Auburn in the playoffs for the Western Maine Tournament Title by a score of 34-32, but lost their' final game to Lewiston in the first round of the semi-finals 60-53. The first team this year included Captain Buddy Cook, Bounce Hodgkins, Chuck Cameron, Frank Gardiner, Jerry Simpson, Ralph Hendrix, John Coolidge, and Captain- elect for 1951 Ed Hilton.

A WORD FROM THE COACH With a squad composed predominately of Juniors and with only one regular return- ing from last year, 1950 was a building year. However, this season was not a failure by any means. The team played consistently good basketball all year. They fought right down to the final gun both in victory and defeat. Portland, Westbrook, and Waterville were the only teams to defeat Deering in the regular season. The Waterville game was especially notable in the fact that Deering led the State Champions for all but the last seven seconds. The outstanding play of Tony Jabar was what kept Waterville in the contest at all until those fatal last few seconds. Although Deering lost double decisions to Portland and Westbrook, the balance of victory swung our way with doubles over South Portland, Cheverus, St. Louis, and Cony. Those vanquished once by Deering included Edward Little, Plymouth QMass.j, Kents Hill, and Bowdoin Frosh. The final season record was won 12, lost 5, for a .705 per- centage. The play-off win over St. Louis put Deering in the Western Maine Tourney, but by virtue of our rating. We drew a most rugged opponent in the first game. Lewiston High with big experienced operatives playing on their home court blasted Deering in the first period. Although Deering recovered to close the gap to a few points by half tima, the taller Blue Blazes went on to win by seven points. At times during the season, Deering sparkled with championship. brilliance. They served notice that with the return of Hilton, Coolidge, Simpson, Gardiner, and Hendrix, they will be a team to reckon with in the State Championship picture next year.

V. BASKETBALL Deering,s ,Iayvee basketball team, with Clayton Smith as coach, this year engaged in court duels with Portland, South Portland, and Cheverus High in the Greater Portland Junior Varsity Bas- ketball League at the Boys, Club. The Deering team won the second place berth in the title race by defeating the Cheverus re- serves and by edging the Portland High subs in a very closelycontested match. The final score in that all-important game with the traditional in-town rivals was 29-27. Deering's Jayvees lost the first place trophy, after bowing to the powerful South Portland team who finally emerged victorious. Many of those who saw action 'on the Jayvee court this year, such as Don Speirs, Newt Church- ill, Alan Lewis, Freeman Dulac, and many others may be seen on the Expo court next year. Congratulations to the Deering Jayvees for their well-played games. BASKETBALL FRESHMAN BASKETBALL The 1953 varsity basketball team wound up their season in a grand manner by making the last game of the year a winning one for Deering. The Deering Frosh basketball candidates met with Coach Johnny Ham in December and shortly thereafter began practising up for their proposed schedule. This schedule included games with Port- land High, Cheverus High, and South Portland High. Although the team did not get off to a roaring start, the boys kept coming out for practise and improving their shots and playing techniques, so that by the end of the year they managed to beat one of these formidable foes. Among the Frosh who stuck it out through the season were: Pete Profenno, Dave Fraser, Fletcher Means, Payson Perkins, Randall White, and Kent SeeHusen, just to mention a few. Congratulations to the Frosh basketball team and to Coach Ham for their hard fought games and their ability to stick to it until garnering a win! FRESHMAN BASKETBALL JUNIQR VARSITY La . lx The Indoor Track Squad The Outdoor Track Squad 1949 TRACK 1950 This year's track team, under the able direction of veteran Coach Buck Harvell, has enjoyed a fine season. Starting with cross country in the fall, Coach Harvell's team compiled wins over Lincoln Academy, Traip Academy, Gorham High, Brunswick High, while being beaten by stronger Portland and York Highs. Instrumental in the pleasing 4-2 record compiled by the cross country team were D. Becker, D. Hagar, J. McDermott, B. Estes, A. Gross, B. Chandler, N. Haynes, and A. Welsch. R. Shaw served as manager. As snow blanketed the ground, indoor track took the limelight. This team, some- what larger than the fall group of runners, split in the win-loss column during its dual meets. In the four-cornered meet, largest local track event of the year, the Purple placed a surprising second to State champ, South Portland, and later seventh at Brunswick in the New England meet. These indoor tracksters were paced by Captain Don Becker, Deering's chief point-winner for the last four years in track, D. Bakke, R. Brown, B. Chandler, B. Estes, A. Gross, D. Hagar, P. Hanlon, J. McDermott, S. Skillin, S. Halpert, B. Clark, A. Torrill, H. Skillings, D. Welsch, and R. Shaw, manager. X 1 Don Becker, Al Gross, Steve Halpert, Bob Estes. A Word from the Coach . . This year's track team has been handicapped because of the small interest shown by the student body, but with the boys We had, we did well. For years our track team was the best in the state, and We set many records that have never been broken. Recently, however, the interest in track has dropped to almost nothing. Coach Buck,' Harwell Many sports other than track have been similarly affected by lack of interest. It has been several ears since Deerin has been on to in an articular s ort. If our interest Y 3 P Y P P and participation pick up in the future we can have winning teams again. But to accomplish this, we must start building morale now. For there are far too many potential track men Walking the corridors, who, by their lack of spirit and partici- pation, fail to bring Deering the fame that it deserves. The 1949 Cross Country Team. The two and one-half milers take a practice jaunt. SWIMMING Swimming is one of the finest and certainly one of the cleanest sports in D. H. S. It is jam-packed with thrills and screaming finishes, spectacular diving and smooth form, that would surprise a fan seeing a meet for the first time. This year's team captained by Paul Royte had the second fastest relay team in the state and boasted one of the finest divers in the league. , The boys deserve considerable credit for hard work and faithfulness. Their daily stint consisted of 88 laps of the Y pool at good speed without stopping. Each boy was also required to know how to swim Free Style, Breast Stroke, and Back Stroke. The highlight of a season in which the team broke about even in wins and losses was a tie meet with the girls' swimming team fthe girls' team, by the way, showed excellent formj which was held to raise funds for a suitable gift for Coach Mangion in his last year as swimming coach. The line-up is as follows: 150 Medley Relay-Leon Stover, Bill Becker, Ray Cole. 200 Free Style-Arnold Fickett, Dave Cobb. 150 Medley Swim-Bill Becker, Arnold Fickett. Diving-Ray Cole. 100-Yard Free style-captain Paul Royte, Doug Wilkerson. 100-Yard Back Stroke-Leon Stover, Paul Hood. 100-Yard Breast Stroke--Fred Smith, Paul Hood. 100-Yard Free Style Relay-Doug Wilkerson, David Cobb, Fred Smith and Captain Paul Royte. 335336125352 ,, W, The 1950 D. H. S. Telegram League contenders. BASEBALL Deering fans awaited th-e baseball season with mixed emotions. The varsity baseball team started its spring training program in the gymnasium and, immediately, it was ap- parent that, with few exceptions, the candidates were at the novice level. This situation coupled with that created a depletion of the coaching staff, led ardent followers to the point where di-re predictions were the order of the day. How could our entry in the Telegran League stand the loss of ten regular starters and still do a reputable job against opponents known to have as many as twelve varsity holdovers? Faced with reality, Coach Johnny Ham found it more practical and pleasant to dwell on the brighter side. An experienced battery consisting of Warren Swan and Earl Harriman meant the beginning of strength down the middle. Ed Valente at shortstop and Hugh Hodgkins in centerfield, both standout regulars of previous seasons, com- pleted necessary and desired central defensive strength. Only second base remained to be filled. Experiments with reserve pitch-ers, Frank Gardiner and Ronald Strout, proved fruitful. These two were well versed in the fine points of the game and only needed a little drilling on the mechanics of a position new to them. Football standouts seemed to give first base steadiness and reliability. Neil Bradstreet and his understudy John Cooledge had proven their athletic worth in other sports campaigns. At third base a three-year untility infielder, Neil Rideout, seemed to have the edge over a junior varsity plugger and football standout, Dave Hibbard. The outfield needed men to replace three capable gardeners lost from the 1949 team. Hodgkins, already mentioned as a holdover, was ably supported by 1949 reserve, Richard Ryder, who had gained experience in Junior League summer baseball, and Free- man Dulac, a bright Sophomore prospect. Others who saw service, both to help the strategy of the 1950 season and gain ex- perience for the future, included Lynan Tibbetts, a Junior Legion hurler and a better than average sticker , Lenny Dunham, a very capable and seasonal receiverg Allan Lewis, a Sophomore who served as utility infielderg Peter Peterson and Bruce Lane, underclassmen who will fill the outfield posts another year, Richard Ek, Robert Gardiner, Peter Profenno and Donald Barnes, all reserve pitchers, the last two named being Freshmen. Of special note is the agreeable manner in which veterans shifted positions to strengthen the team defensively or offensively as the situation warranted. It is standard practice in school boy baseball to shift catchers and fielders to the mound as a relief pitcher and the 1950 campaign saw this happen frequently at Deering. As this book went to press, the team was winning and handling its responsibilities in a business-like fashion. Hard work and co-operation were the keynotes. A Word from the Coach . . This year's baseball team has been heavily handicapped by lack of experience. Several of our key men in the squad are new this year and need time to become 'seasoned players. We got off to a slow start by dropping three out of six. The team has had little batting practice, especially under heavy pitching and are slow at getting warmed up. If our pitchers hold out we will be able to finish this season near the top. In 1951 we should do well, if the team gets the practice needed during the summer. By that time we will have more experience and know how. But 'til then our team will be out to win the games left to play this season. u 2 Q RQ fs, Nd D. H. S. SKI CLUB This year, the Ski Club extends their gratitude to Mr. Theodore Johnson, coach- advisor of the club for over fifteen years, for his tireless efforts in developing, and success- fully establishing the most active club in Deering. As he will be unable to continue his coaching next year, the club is losing its backbone. We can never thank him enough for all of his patience, time, and workiwith us. Under the able leadership of Eileen Wagner, Secretary, Lois McCarty, Treasurer, Louise Harrington, Director of Membership and Instruction, Parker Blanchard, Trips Director, Carl Snow, Director of Cabins and Trails, Bruce Lane, Competition Director, the Ski Club completed a very successful year. During the fall the heelers had a taste of our rugged schedule, beginning with the climbing trips to Mts. Kearsarge, Chocorua, Baldface, and Carter Dome. Floppy Hildreth, with a committee of heelers, replenished our treasury by a very successful rummage sale. With this money and money from our dance, we bought necessary equipment and re- paired Dyke. This year, we were fortunate to have plenty of.snow to carry out our full winter program. The boys' team, including Bruce Lane, Carl Cnow, Steve Snow, Bob Burt, Kilton Andrew, John Andrew, and Dave Shaw, finished the season with one win, a fourth place in the Edward Little Carnival, a second in the Bowdoin Cross Country, and a sixth out of ten in the State Meet at Andover. All the boys have earned their varsity letters. In its second year, the girls, ski team made an impressive record. The' team, Lois McCarty, Louise Harrington, 'Heidi Stubbs, Judy Ervin, Gretchen Stubbs, and subs, Margery Bayer, Carol Fletcher, and Floppy Hildreth, beat Kents Hill and were defeated in a very close race with Waynflete at Dyke. In a State Meet they came in second, only surpassed by Waynflete, again. During the winter vacation, the advanced skiers enjoyed several days of skiing at Mt. Washington. The Girls' Annual Thunderjug Race wound up a busy year. Coming out on top were, Class A: first, Louise Harrington, second, Judy Ervin, third, Carol Fletcher, fourth, Lois McCarty. In Class B: first, Karen Thorsell, second, Mary Lou Pettingill, third, Anna Watkins, fourth, Carol Lee Brown. In the spring Dyke Farm was painted, and several work trips repaired the winter damages. At the annual Ski Feed, the new members and officers were installed. The Directors of 1949-1950 wish the Ski Club good skiing, and many happy times at Dear Old Dyke.

S. tennis team coached by Mr. Emery Dunfee could find only two victories in its eight matches. The team faced the Colby and Bowdoin Freshmen, P. J. C., Hebron, Lewiston and Portland, conquering Lewiston and P. J. C. in decisive matches. The highlight of the season was the State Tournament in which the four top Deering netmen, Frankie Gardiner, Bob Whitmore, Stuart Strauss, and Bud Brewster, competed. Gardiner walked off with the singles crown and teamed with Whitmore to capture the doubles title from Strauss and Brewster in the finals, making the victory complete for Deering. This year Gardiner was captured by the baseball team but Whitmore, Jerry Miller, Bill Feyler, Don Edwards, Bob Madore, and Ted Whittemore have gained the experience necessary for a successful season. Opening at Hebron, the team fought its'way through a cold drizzle to defeat the J. V. team 4-3, using only five men. The team thenljourneyed to Lewiston only to be downed by the Bates Freshmen 3-6 in a match which was again played in a slight rain. Next, P. J. C. went down to defeat S-4 in a very closely con- tested match. The team completed its season playing matches with the Colby Frosh, Portland, and Lewiston. Deering looks for another sweep of the State Tourney at Orono, which will again feature the fine match play of Gardiner and Whitmore.

GIRLS' TENNIS Girls' tennis has traveled a long hard road to what we all hope will someday become a girls' tennis team. All are grateful for the wonderful co-operation and patience which Miss Cowan, as coach, has shown them. Girls' tennis took its first big step in the spring of 1949 when Miss Cowan and Winnie Wardwell organ- ized a tennis playoif. The thirty-two best players started in the playoff until they worked down, as the boys do, to find the best player. At the close of the season it was announced that Winnie Wardwell had become the D. H. S. girls' tennis champ. In the fall Winnie organized a second tournament which was rotary. The reason for this type tourna- ment was to give the girls more experience and to help determine which ones were the best players. The outstanding players are: Winnie Wardwell, Zilla Maddox, Lois McCarty, Pat Knapp, Pat Damon, Dot Hill, Sylvia Mardigan and Judy Payson. GIRLS' SWIMMING The girls have regular swimming classes at the Portland Boys' Club under the direction of Mr. Paulson. Deering won the first place trophy this year in the Southwestern Maine Swimming Meet. Cap- tain Barbara Gulian Won a first place title in the S0- yard freestyle. Other swimmers who helped win the trophy were Judy Strout, Judy Bingham, Pat Stough- ton, and Judy Blumenthal. Strong relay swimmers were Marcia Finberg, Ellen Thompson, and Judy Gulian. This year for the first time the Deering boys chal- lenged the girls. This meet was held at the Y. M. C. A. The exciting events were the 100-yard freestyle won by Barbara Gulian and the diving Won by Judy Strout. With a little help from Mr. Mangion the ,final score was 33 to 33. - VARSITY IUNIOR VARSITY First row, Iefl to right: Dot Laming, Marilyn Fifi!
