DEERINC1 HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA MOTHERS' CLUB The Deering High Orchestra Mothers' Club of 1949-50 has a membership of forty-six. 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.
