YEARS HAVE GONE FAST We finally ma-de it! After four years of hard work, we, the Class of 1954-, find ourselves on the brink of graduation. Looking back over the past four years, we can h-onestly say that they have produced many friend- ships and will always recall many happy memories. Our Freshman year, we were 'ccrazy mixed-up kidsi' fto quote the words of a famous manj who were vexed by the upper classmen. We managed, however, to get into the routine and prepare ourselves for the many tasks ahead. Guiding us through our Freshman year were Marilyn Simpson, President, Herb Car- michael, Vice-President, Betty Winslow, Secretary, Henry Lalumiere, Treasurer, and Dorothy Brad- street, Carol Farley, and Chase Rand, Executive Com- mittee. Our last year of being underclassmen was led by Dick Nutting, President, Herb Carmichael, Vice-Presi- dent, Marilyn Simpson, Secretary, Betty Winslow, Treasurer, and Gerry Davis, Annette Lyden, and Jim Tibbetts, Executive Committee. Presiding over our Junior year was Sewall Miller, President, with Chase Rand, Vice-President, Herb Carmichael, Treasurer, Joyce Prince, Secretary, and Dick Nutting, Marilyn Simpson, and Betty Winslow Executive Committee. Our Senior year Chase Rand was President, Marilyn Simpson, Vice-President, Herb Carmichael, Treas- urer, Marilyn Tarr, Secretary, and Fred Stone, Ken Prouty, and Gerry Davis, Executive Committee. As Seniors, it was our job to take the lead and to make the year 19541 a successful one. The football team, led by Captain Gerry Davis, produced such stars as Willy Wooldridge, Herb Carmichael, and Bill DiBiase. In basketball, Willie Wooldridge cap- tained a fighting team which also had Fred Stone in a starting role. The Student Council was ably led through an- other successful year by its President, Lenny Barn- stone. Marilyn Simpson put her cheerleaders through their paces. In journalism, AMETHYST'S editor-in- chief, Don Cutler, could always be seen working on this book, and Rambling? editor-in-chief, Marilyn Tarr, produced one of the best volumes in the history of the school. A few of the talented musicians were Joan Fay, Olin Sawyer, Cameron Bailey, Jean Miller, Larry Lowd and Bill Gagnon. 'Girls' sports brought two of Deering's most capable athletes to the spotlight in the persons of basketball Co-captains, Evelyn Snodgrass and Rita Ramsay. We were fortunate enough to have with us this year two Exchange Students-Chris Koenig, from Germany, and Maija Nikula, from Finland, who, we hope, en- joyed our company as much as we enjoyed theirs. In scholarship, Carolyn Walch and Carol Johnson led the way to many honors which our class earned. The Deering Cadets this year headed the regimental staff fof both Portland and Deeringl with James Hunter as Colonel. Tristam Pearson was Battalion commander of the boys while Barbara Ritchie and Sandra Hubbard commanded the girls. As our last year in Deering comes quickly to a close, we look back and feel proud to think that we have helped in the progress of Deering High School.
