Young, who this spring will end thirty-four years of service to the students and faculty at Deering, We dedicate the 1955 Amethyst. Mr. Young came to Deering in 1921 as head of the Commercial Department. In 1922 he also became Treasurer, in 1944 Submaster and '4Attention Please in 1949. Mr. Young gave up teaching Commercial subjects in 1949 to become the perpetual-motion machine that we so much admire today. Mr. Young is the man behind the scenes at school. He quietly devotes his time and effort to planning our assemblies, guiding the boys, and generally being responsible for all the improvements that have made Deering such an excellent school. We thank Mr. Young for his hard work and wish him the best of luck in the suc- ceeding years. 7a MEMORIAM . . MRS. LOUISE TUTTLE Returning to school early this year, we at Deering were saddened by the death of Mrs. Louise Tuttle. Though she was a receptionist in the Deering oflice only two years, Mrs. Tuttle's unselfish devotion to her work and her kindly spirit touched all those with whom she came in contact. Her vitality of personality, her wit, and the breadth of her understanding may well serve as a pattern for students and faculty alike. lt is unneces- sary to give a complete profile of Mrs. Tuttle to those who knew herg to those who did not, it is impossible. Going, Going, the class of '55 . . . All four years have been wonderful for the Seniors, but this last year will always be remem- bered as the best. This was the year of football games in an Indian Summer, Bermuda Shorts and Knee-Lengths , of endless meet- ings of clubs and organizations at school, of Turkey Day and I Love Lucyv. Hurricanes Carol, Edna, and Hazel tried to blow away the state in September and failed but Muskie the Democrat suc- ceeded in October. There were endless dances in the gym and the wonderfully traditional and sentimental Proms,, where everyone looked so grown up in their lovely gowns and new suits. The Mayor and Miss Deering campaign was one of the most exciting events during the year. Remember the wonderful D-Club Show that followed? Then, of course, all too soon it was graduation time. That wonderful last year has ended for the Seniors and the Class of '55 has gone, wishing Good Luck , to the Class of '56. MAPPING OUT THE DEERING WGRLD Mamma - -5 Zydmfefz- - 6?

DEERING HIGH'scHooL PORTLAND, 5 MMNE Onrlcz or 'rut PIILNCIPAI. H To the Class of 1955 One of the greet concerns of our age and for the time immediately ahead of us is how beet to preserve and expand human freedom. Freedom for the individual is essential for the maintenance of a democracy. freedom is not release from restraint. It can best be served within the framework of established laws and traditions. First of all, freedom is a State of nine. Ho man wwo is ignorant, oigoted, or prejudiced is wholly free. One of the purposes of education is to elimi- nate ignorance, remove bigotry, and replace prejudice rich ,G.f understanding. After th experiences you have enjoyed within and outside the classroom, you will HHWQ been gr need che green American privilege, and education. Those vto have assisted you in your' learning hope that in the pfocees you have tmxen some of the initial st 1.i,f pe towarc an underszaniing of what wakee 2 man free. This is of utmost importance because your judgments, your belieis, and your actions will ultimately decermine the type of community, country, and world in which we all must Jive. we wish you well. 1 , , N '7 f n ,,,,f. 1 'x fr K 7 L f 7 Ralph B.

The Pathfinders Parent-Teacher Association of Deering High and Lincoln Junior High School, formed several ye-ars ago, deals with the education and all-round welfare of students. lt is a member of the State P.T.A. and the National Congress of P.T.A.'s. The officers, Mr. M. A. Packard, Mrs. Cedric H. Simpson, Mrs. Frank J. Capp, Mrs. Margaret Clark, Mrs. Edward W. McLaughlin, and Mrs. Merrill W. Sweetser, and the me-mbers strove to bring a closer relation between home and school that parents and teachers might work together under- standingly in the training of young people. Through its evening meetings the Pathfinders tried to bring programs of interest to help in all sorts of educational subjects. ORCHESTRA MOTHERS' CLUB Stepping into the spotlight to receive its rightful share of the laurels given our fine orchestra is the Deering High School Orchestra Mothers, Club. For it is through the funds raised by this organization that our musicians are enabled to attend the Maine and New England Music Festivals. ln addi- tion, the group provides instruments, sheet music and uniforms for its protegcs when necessary. This year, under the able leadership of Mrs. J. Allen Jackson, the club's fifty-four members have carried on various fund raising projects throughout the school season. Such undertakings included two suppers, a rummage sale, two silver teas, and the sponsorship of the United States Navy Band arranged jointly with our Band Mothers' Club and the Parents' Club of Portland High. As in years past, the group sponsored the orchestra's traditional Vesper and Annual Concerts. During 19544-1955 club year, Mrs. Jackson has been assisted by vice president, Mrs. Lloyd But- trickg secretary, Mrs. Ernest Chard, and treasurer, Mrs. Carl Crosby. BAND MOTHERS' CLUB This year under the leadership of Mrs. George H. Anderson, the Band Mothers' Club continued to carry out its special purpose of supporting the various activities of the Band, including concerts and tripsg of keeping the group properly uniformed, and of assisting in the purchase of needed in- struments. Enough was added to the uniform fund this year to purchase one hundred and two new uniforms for the first band. Also, the Band Mothers outfitted the Junior Varsity Band and arranged an interesting and varied program for them. ln addition, the club purchased a greatly needed new glockenspiel, bass, and an instrument repair kit for the Varsity group. Among the projects undertaken to provide funds we-re a dance for band members and friends, two rummage sales, and an illustrated lecture and tea. Then, too, in cooperation with our Orchestra Mothers' Club and the Portland High School Band and Orchestra Parents' Club, the group prese-nted a United States Navy Band concert. This presentation, together with the Father's Concert and the Annual Concert contributed much toward a very successful ear. Y Assisting Mrs. Anderson as ollicers for the 1954-1955 club year were: Vice President, Mrs. Kendall H. Blanchard, Secretary, Mrs. Weston C. Boothby, and Treasurer, Mrs. Warren E. Winslow. - Study period is a wonderful time to catch up on last n1ght's home work, isn't it, Joanie? 14 gimme az' am CLASSROOMS And now for a peek into the typical classroom where the brains of our Deering function collectively and- Qzsf V, 2, much to the distress of many stude-nts at exam time- individually. At first glance we see a host of enthusiastic students earnestly struggling with the problems at hand. But wait, a book opened upside down on a nearby desk betrays the situation. For on close examination behind said ulivren we find the owner trying to squeeze in that entra hour's sleep of which last night's TV had deprived him. Aha, perhaps this Warrants further inspection. ln- deed so, for to our right is a more ambitious little genius completely absorbed with twirling his ruler on the tip of a pencil. A glance to the rear of the room catches a young Romeo in the act of passing a umissile of aifectionn to his current Juliet. And in the back corner, a group of gossip enthusiasts are busily tying together the loose ends of information gathered during the last period. Before them all-a distrait but patient teacher, secretly relieved that this is that last period of the day. Qs? LQU5 1. .-,,, , 'fs Larry Richard whistles while he works on a chest in shop.

I A Nancy Little Arthur Atherton III President Colleen Baker Vice-President Secretary ke SENIORS fzezfccwed dn ide fd! . .. On a bright day in September, 1951, our class first entered the halls of Deering. It was just the beginning of four wonderful and prosperous years. It was that year that we elected Judy Iott as President, Arthur Atherton, Vice-President, Dixie Redlon, Secretary, Peter Baade, Treasurer, and Maria Della Valle, Dick Gelinas, and Mike Stockwell as the Executive Committee. The theme of our Freshman Recep- tion was c'The Average Day in The Life of A Freshmanf' Remember the wonderful skit the Latin class presented? Our Sophomore Year, the leaders of our class were: Phil Candelmo, President, Mike Stockwell, Vice-President, Liz Sarando, Secretary, Ray Chapman, Treasurer, Judy Iott, Jean Skillins, and Dick Gelinas, Executive Committee. Having become somewhat accustomed to the new ideas of high school, we began to broaden our interests and we found we had many promising members in all the organizations from sports to French Club and Forum. That year Sue Brilliant proved herself a hard worker as Advertising Editor for Ramblings, and consequently became one of the youngest candidates for Quill and Scroll. Judy Wheeler was Treasurer of the French Club and Don Blodgett was elected Vice-President of the Camera Club. Don Lary led us through our Junior Year when we presented the 'cTropicana, our Junior Prom. Helping him were Vice-President Judy Iott, Secretary, Liz Sarando, Treasurer, Ron Wheeler, and the Executive Committee composed of Ray Chapman, Dick Gelinas, and Dixie Redlon. Larry Cohen began spending his 20- minute periods in the Cafeteria as Assistant Business Manager for Amethyst. Lee Hanchett wore out a pair of sneakers running from the tennis courts back to school to take pictures for Amethyst and Ramblings. Tom Baggs, Phil Haskell, and Jim Penza could be seen running the track, while Jo Porch and Mary Hildreth raced up and down the Hockey field. Ronnie Collins piloted the Swimming Team. Marilyn Brynes talked her way to many high honors in debating. Lillian Crosby and Linda Lavin won the Ralph Gould Award and traveled to the Met in New York. During the summer Dixie Redlon attended Dirigo Girl's State and Jim Penza and Art Atherton traveled to the U. of M. campus for Dirigo Boy's State. In August of the same summer, Art Atherton also received an appointment to Annapolis. Then suddenly, almost before we knew it, we were returning from summer vacation as Seniors. Then there was no one else to look up to, no one to tell us how, when, and why, no one to give us advice or even to tease us a little. The reins were then in our hands so we took them and soon were ureally rolling. We chose Art Atherton to preside over us, elected Colleen Baker, Vice-President, Nancy Little, Secretary, Ron Wheeler, Treasurer, and Don Lary, Judy Iott, and Ray Chapman were on the Executive Committee. Late in December we started planning for the biggest and best Washington Trip that any Senior class had ever had. During the football season, Capt. Don Lary led such outstanding players as Mike Stockwell frecipient of the outstanding back trophyl, Phil Haskell, Ron Broadhurst, Ron Wheeler, and Dick Gelinas through a successful season. Our Basketball team was led by Captain Phil Candelmo, Art Ronald Wheeler Treasurer ta gow! Zkemaeiaea Me LEADERS Atherton and Ray Chapman proved themselves to be outstanding players. The base- ball team was sparked by Co-Captains Art Atherton and Mike Stockwell. Bill Miller completed his fourth year as devoted manager of all three teams. Ronnie Broadhurst was captain of our excellent swimming team, and John Cragin, Phil Haskell, and John Adams were outstanding track men. Crack tennis men were Larry Laben, Dave Weisburg, and Lee Hanchett. Don Blodgett attained the adjutant rank of Cadet Major, Leigh Hoar that of Lieutenant Colonel, and Carl Wood, Major. Cheering on all these teams during the year were head cheerleader Donna Williams, and her squad: Nancy MacDougall, Joyce Dulac, Judy lott, Nancy Carmichael, Col-- leen Baker and Connie Carleton. The girls took no back seats in the field of athletics. Martha Andrew, Mary Hildreth, Jo Porch, Judy Butler, Nancy Mullin, Nancy Carmichael, Dixie Bedlon, June Morrill, Liz Sarando, and Dotty Foster displayed much skill and sportsmanship in both hockey and basketball. Jean Skillins and Rhoda Green played Varsity Tennis. The Student Council had a very successful year under President Dave Stanford. Carlyn Smith as President of the French Club sponsored a series of movies for all the French Classes. Sheila Pelosi put out some wonderful issues of Ramblings and' Pete Pitarys and his hard-working staff struggled all year to publish this excellent year book. Nancy Winslow displayed her musical ability as she conducted the band' in one of their annual concerts, while President Bob Bruns cheered her on. Lovely Donna Williams was chosen Sno-Queen at the Annual Sno-Ball in Feb-A ruary, while Judy lott, Colleen Baker and Nancy Little attended her. Many of the members of our class earned state-wide acclaim. Liz Sarando was- elected Secretary at a State Tri-Hi-Y convention and Judy lott was elected Vice-V President of the South Western Maine Student Council Convention. The State Hi-Y Older Boys, Conference saw Dave Zolov presiding over the meetings. At the first of the year a group of the Seniors visited the oil companies at South Portland. They returned with a sample can of oil, a bank, and a book of notes for a theme. Gail Walker received a beautiful wrist-watch for her winning essay. As class projects, we sponsored the sale of greeting cards and produced c'Father' Knows Bestf' All too soon we were measured for caps and gowns and began to practice for graduation. Then came Graduation time with all its excitement and' solemnity, Seniors Last Assembly, Graduation Exercises and the Senior Prom, and we left Deering for the last time as a united class. As four wonderful years came to an end, the class of '55 e-xpresses its thanks to all the faculty and especially our adviser, Mr. Smith, for their help, co-operation, and understanding.

The team, composed of several good veterans and a promising group of rookies turned in one of Deer- ing's best seasons. ln addition to winning all of their dual meets the Purple and White won the South-western Maine Championship and finished second in the state meet thus qualifying for the New England meet. Their five dual-meet victories equal ten straight wins for the dual-meet competition. Captain Jay Nutter and Johnny Adams led the HDeeringites to most of the victories. Giving plenty of competition were Art Guy, Dave Rolfe, Kenny Noyes, Jimmy Phillips, George Goodall, Walt Dowling, and Russ Davis, all strong runners. The team, which is made up of many underclassmen, hopes that in the future it can repeat this year's fine record. John Adams, a boy who has earned all his honors, is one of the few men who have run Deeringis two and one-half mile course in less than thirteen minutes.

The popularity of tennis among the Deering girls is quite evident when we consider that 103 went out for this sport during the fall and spring season. Under the capable supervision of Miss Cowan these girls were given an opportunity to perfect the basic tennis strokes and to practice them in actual matches. Those who showed outstanding achievement in the game included Barbara Goodwin Jean Skillings, Rhoda Green, Judy Butler, Janet Davis Nancy Little and Joan Stanford. Acting as managers for the two seasons were Susan Brilliant Nancy Winslow, Carolyn Conley, Lois Millet, Gail Thompson Carol Mac Cready and Carlyn Smith.

The members were taught the fundamentals of pleasure riding, instruction, showmanship, and the care and the training of horses. Horsemanship awards were awarded once each month. On Fridays the girls whit the trailw for their weekly ride. Also, the club held a hayride, a treasure hunt, and competitive rides. At the two big events of the year, the annual Winter Carnival and the Riding Meet with Portland High School, the Deering equestriennes displayed their riding skills. In spring and fall, members of the Archery and Woodcarving Club were seen aiming for the bullseye with their trusty bows and arrows. During the winter months they worked by the firesicle in leather, metal, gimp, and clay in addition to many types of woodcarving. Amid Hying chips and the din of hammers, Mr. uSkipper Bailey, faculty adviser, gave individual attention to each member.

The Student Council began its successful year '54 and '55 with the Community Chest Drive. However, its president, David Stanford, and the other officers: Judie Iott, vice president, Nancy Little, secretary, Arthur Atherton, treasurer, and clerks, John Plummer and Mike Littlefield, didn't stop there. They continued to sell bookcovers, pins, and the Deering 'Lbeanien throughout the year. This helped the financial status of the council to- ward the purchase of their annual class gift. The annual Student Council Bazaar, at which all the member clubs were represented, was held May 20. The Student Council Dance, January 29, was another successful council project. The Council under its advisers, Miss Joyce and Mr. Mallet, presented the Freshman Assembly at the first of the year to acquaint the new students with the various clubs at Deering. Once the fever caught on, Dave arranged several assemblies and numerous out- side rallies to promote school spirit. The Installation of Officers was one of the most outstanding council sponsored assemblies. In accordance with its purpose of preserving the welfare of the school the council organized many committees such as the class ring committee and the Mschool spirit committee, and chartered buses for the games away from home. The students who attended the Student Council Con- vention in the fall and early spring returned with in- spiring reports of other councils, activities and many new ideas for our council and its members. As one of the most important organizations in Deering, the Student Council proved its worth. wi i xg The School Spirit committee helped to increase the attendance at the games.

To make every page of this year's Amethyst come to life before its reader, over one-hundred student members collected ads, snapped pictures, planned layouts, found subscribers, wrote and re-wrote copy, typed material, and thought up new features for this 1955 edition. As each season of the school year passed, we gathered together the important memories of every class and arranged them in articles and photographs with sketches and colored headlines of outstanding events. Now that these jobs are done, and the many hours spent working together are a memory, the staff members can look with pride at their finished product. Their Amethyst, which has grown from a dummy copy into a full-fledged yearbook, holds all the mem- ories of a terrific year at Deering High School. The junior assistants M. Coldfarb, K.

On the Executive Committee were Linda Neilson, Joan Aceto, and Wayne Bruns. Our social whirl of the year was the Sophomore Hop, a huge success. In September of this year, we chose Willis Ingalls to take the gavel, Margaret Hildreth to assist him, Diane Walker to keep the records, Mike Littlefield to guard the treasury, and John Plummer, Nancy Capp, Carol Chard to take care of the Executive Board. We all looked forward to the big junior social event, our Junior Prom. The Class of 1956 has contributed many outstanding athletes to Deering Sports.

Third Row: Manager Miller, Coach Bicknell, Assistant Manager Fleischer. Under the excellent leadership of Coach Ray Bicknell, the Deering five had a fine season. Displaying much talent, teamwork, and spirit the Purple finished the season with a 7-9 record. Captain Phil Candelmo showed some excellent ball handling and led the Rams to many victories. Art Atherton, a good defensive as well as offensive ball player, often scored in the two figure column. Ray Chap- man, a hard-fighting and spirited player, kept the Rams sparking, and added many points for the club. Bob Bruns worked well off the boards and in the pivot position. ln his first year of basketball Coot Coolidge came up fast and played some excellent hall for the Rams. Doug Stone, a junior, added many needed points to the team's scoring column and played excellent all around basketball. Alternating at pivot spot with Bruns, Russell Brown contributed many points and often was a de- cisive factor in a Purple win. Joel Densmore, another boy who showed great progress, worked well with the team, often hitting in the scoring column. Mike Littlefield, another good ball player, did a lot of playing for the Rams. Other Seniors who worked well for the Rams were Mike- Stockwell and Don Lary. Juniors helping out the squad were Dick Smith, Willie Ingalls, Wayne Bruns, and Norris Dolley, all fast moving and good ball- handling players. f .A 17 try ,1 ' ff 0 ,fl ,fa c fi' ,,,.f'r X f4lf7,f:, Vg,- xv ., XV - -l - -V .

Many good ball players will also be coming up from the l.V. team. To Coach Bicknell, who did a swell job working with the team, we wish the best of luck for next year. We also wish to thank Managers Bill Mille-r and Frank Fleisher for jobs well done. ln the Western Maine Basketball Tournament eighth place Deering played against first place Portland.

The team was under the able guidance of Coach Clayton Smith. The team did not have too successful a season but it turned out some players who should see varsity service next year. Those on the team were Dave Murdock, Pete Tanguay, Steve Henderson, Larry Gardiner, Bob Carter, John Adams, Tony Germaine, Jim Keenan, Larry Shackley, Ed Williams, Dan Aceto, Jack Morris, Gus Randall, George Riley, Everett Mack, Stan Moody, John McDonough. The freshman basketball team, under Coach Zeller, began a season with several victories over Westbrook, St. Louis, South Portland and Portland, but later dropped several close games to Lewiston, South Portland, Cape Elizabeth Iayvees and Cheverus. The season was completed with a fair record, nevertheless, due to the basketball ability of such players as Bill Palmer, Dick Allen, Butch Cottrell, Pete O'Donovan, Coon Boothby, Doug Swasey, Bob Harris, Sonny Greenwood, Clyde Pierce, Dick Doucette, Dave Hopkins, c'Farmer Nielson, Terry Rice and Dan Adams. and FRESHMAN BASKETB LL Harold Boofhby, Clyde Pierce, Butch Cottrel, Doug Swayze, Dick Allen, Danny Adams, Dick Doucette, Sonny Greenwood, Coach Zeller, John Neilson Dave Hopkins, Terry Rice. , yn 1 First Row: Wilbur Holmes, Toby Mussman, Pete Collins, Bill Chaplin, Bob Ek, Fred Butler.

This year the team decided to have a dance in the Deer- ing gym with the proceeds going to the team for warm-up robes. Some of the outstanding per- formers on the team were Captain Ronnie Broad- hurst, Fred Webber, Bonnie Collins, Bobby Madsen, Joe Parent, Jim Branscombe, Allen Colley, Eddie Colley, Leonard Lee, Eliot Maynard, and our diver Bunky Butler. To climax the season the team went to the State meet and iinished second. 74a INDOCR TRACK team caan lie GCTAGONAL mee!! I For the second straight year Buck I-larvell's runners have won the octagonal track meet at the exposition building, This was the eighth consecutive schoolboy meet that the Purple has won. Through his previous experience Coach Harvell is qualified to advise and instruct his boys in every track event. In each of their meets the Deering track- men scored nearly twice as many points as their nearest competitor. Dick Gelinas, a hard running sprinter, led the .lunior Division for Deering with 9 consecutive wins in the dash, one twenty and 'EWO forty. Helping Diek in the lightweight division were other good runners, Jimmy Philips and George Goodall who also scored points in the 240. Other Junior runners were Walt Dowling, Bob Dennehey and Jack Burnham. The Intermediate DiViSi0n led by .l0l1nny Cragin in the dash, hurdles and 300 lacked depth but scored many needed points for the team. Other good runners in the Intermediate Division were Dave Zolov in the dash, Kenny Noyes in the hurdles and 600, and Clyde Pierce in the 300. Ken Noyes won all but one 600 in his two years in the Intermediate Division. Terry and Bill Crawford also ran MM the 600. ,IQ , This year the strongest group was the Senior Division. :fi The seniors, composed mostly of veterans, piled up the ' largest number of points for the team. Phil Haskell led the dashmen followed closely by ,lim Penza, Tom Baggs, and Barry Levine. Tom Baggs and lim Penza did the hurdling for the Purple Seniors, and Phil and Tom also ran first and second in every three hundred yard race. In the Senior 600 ,lim Penza was pushed hard by Sophomore Pete Panagakos. Jay Nutter led the pack in the 1000 followed close by Art Guy. ln the mile Red Rolfe ran hard and finished just ahead of John Adams. ' The Senior Relay composed of Phil Haskell, Barry Le- X vine, Torn Baggs and lim Penza were undefeated and came ' within 3fl0 of a second from the record.

The highlight of the winter season was the annual inter-class bowling tourney. By bowling every Wednesday and Friday afternoons this large and enthusiastic group earned their gym credits and had a wonderful time doing it. At the Y.M.C.A. each Monday afternoon, the Deering High School Boys, Bowling team sharpened its aim with the thundering balls. Months of practice entailing a minimum of three strings a week developed many out- standing bowlers.

Girls and boys from both Portland and Deering High Schools compete for awards at the Annual Cadet Ball in the spring. Furthermore, the girls are able to usher at lectures, games, and concerts as they did at the Boston Pops concert, the Gene Autry Show, the Barber Shop Quartet, and numerous school affairs.

Deering High has a new Junior Varsity team! This organization was formerly known as the second band. Twice weekly the players met for practice under Mr. Bucci. The ultimate goal of these students is of course to make 'cfirst string. However, they are not merely a branch of the first band, because they have a separate charter from student council.

Time: Sixth period Place: Deering High Auditorium Event: Deering High School Band practice Yes, it is to this fine group of musicians that we owe a vote of thanks for the music of its twice weekly concerts which resounds throughout the halls, tend- ing to brighten the spirits of the entire student body. And, it is to these same regular practices that the band itself owes its longstanding high rating. For certainly no one would question the outstanding performance of this group in the various local parades, at the games, or in its public concerts. To be more specific as to the extent of this concert work, we might mention the Annual Concert and the Father's Concert, both of which were very successful. Also this year these musicians gave a fine performance as guest artists for the Municipal Organ Christmas Concert. Of equal note was its participation in a massed band number at the Navy Band Concert under the direction of Commander Fielder. Another special honor for the group was its invitation to appear as the The two female trumpet players of the hand listen to a solo by Paul Cummings. special guests of the New England Music Educatofs Convention in Boston. For this occasion as for all their other activities this year, the Band members sported their brand new uniforms, purchased for them by the Band Motheris Club. And let us not forget the Hnew look for D.H.S. majorettes . . . skirts, at last! In addition to preparing the group for its indi- vidual activities however, its practice sessions prove invaluable in meeting the competition for top honors presented at the Westem Maine Music Festival. Although we think of the band principally as a musical organization, the group is actually organized as is any other club in Deering. This year, with Bob Bruns as their president, the Band members have set down for the first time a formal set of regulations by which the group will abide. Also to appropriate funds for its activities, the group sponsored its tradi- tional stocking dance in the gym.

Essentially it is a combination of talent combined with skillful direction and liberally seasoned with the spice of enthusiasm. As a result of this happy combination Deering again received a rating of uexcellentv at the Western Maine Music Festival, as well as at the New England Music Festival, which was held at the University of Rhode Island in Kingston on May 20. Other activities also helped to complete the year successfully. All students who attended remember the exceptional Vesper concert in December.

On September 8, 1954, we, the Freshmen of 1954-55, better known as the lowest class of humanity, entered the halls of Deering with wide eyes and suspicious glances at seniors with the uelevatorw tickets. In fact, due to the uhelpn of some upperclass- men, bewildered frosh might easily have been found wandering around the halls hunting for 209 in the cafeteria. The first of the four classes to vote for ofiicers, the freshmen elected Alice Whitney, President, Kenneth Penza, Vice-President, Jeanne Getchell, Secretary, Sara Jane McDonald, Treasurer, and Karen Kibler, Butch Cottrell, and Mike Sandler, Execu- tive Committee. Miss Piacentini and Mr. Mallet gave the frosh a terrific start in hockey and foot- ball. Those coming home with black and blue knees from J.V. Hockey were Dotty Schwabenhausen and Jeanne Getchell fwith the hope that next year more freshmen will be alongj. Under Captain Leo Campbell, a few promising football heroes were Barry Levine, Bob Harris, Butch Cottrell, Don Smith, Bill Drummey, Dick Allen, Bob Steele, Barry Mayo, Dick Josephs, and Ellis Goldman. As the snow began to fall and heavy coats and jackets began to emerge from storage amongst the moth balls, new faces appeared in the gym for basketball and track. Among those shooting for that orange hoop for the girls' basketball team were Captain Jane Henry, Martha Haskell, Judy Wayde, and Carol Wheeler. Seen blocking the way of opposing point-getters were Nancy Blackwell, Karen Kibler, Rae Jaquith, and Jean Lankow. Not to be outdone by the weaker sex, male hoopsters Bill Palmer, Dickie Allen, Harold Boothby under Captain Jim Cottrell had an out- standing season. On the running track trying to keep up with Dick Gelinas and Jim Penza, were Barry Levine, Bill Drummey, Bobbie Dennehy, Terry Crawford, Jackie Brunham, Ken Penza, and Bobbie Stewart. At the Y.M.C.A., Toby Mussman, Wilbur Holmes, Mike Colins, Fred Butler, and Warren Winslow splashed around in the chlorine as frosh components of the D.H.S. Swimming Team. The class of '58 was equally well represented in the various spring sports of tennis, baseball, and softball. Among our promising musicians sporting the newly acquired uniforms of the Second Band were Harris Kennedy, Bob Kibler, Connie McCatherine, Joanna Wagnis, and Sophia Trouvalis. Feeling the loss of a freshman reception this Spring, we sponsored a social called 'cClass of '58 and Spirit of ,767 This event held April 16, was planned for the general entertainment of the freshmen, and consisted of a play, a dance, and various contests. As our first year at Deering comes to a close we can look back with many happy memories and ahead to three year's promise of many more.

Judging from the number of boys currently sporting the ball and glove, it is quite evident that Deering is no exce-ption to this modernized version 'D ,n,,. of the age old maxim. f 're Seriously though, the '55 Ramis club will be putting its whole heart into snatching that Telly League title which it missed by such a narrow WX margin last spring. Veteran Co-captains Art Ather- X ton and Mike Stockwell backed by fellow letter men , Phil Candelmo, Don Lary, Norris Dolley, and Doug ,f Stone, we may be sure will be putting their all into boosting their last year's third place standing up S to the very top for the '55 season. To supplement their fine list of vets, Coach c'Pop Manley has a Y N number of promising rookies coming along from ' 0 whose ranks We are confident will develop one R., ey of the hardest hitting teams in the state. If possible diliiculties in the infield do not arise, we can safe-ly predict an outstanding season for the '55 Club and express our hopes that it will be just outstanding enough to achieve that number one spot.

They always seem to pull through the year with an outstanding record. Practice for the net- men begins early in the spring of each year. High school and College freshmen competition immediately follow. As usual Deering's chief rival in tennis is Portland High. Coach Amos Hawkes conditions his boys for the very important matches against the U. of M. Frosh and the Bowdoin Frosh. At the conclusion of each year Deering enters the State High School Tennis Tournament. Deering boys display their talent as well as their sportsmanship in this contest for the State Title. The 1954 tennis team, although they were not champions, managed to trim old rival Portland in both of their matches, in addition to taking the State Singles Championship. During the long winter, the Golf boys take indoor golf lessons, but when the spring flowers begin to bloom, uRe'd,7 Long calls his boys out to- test the greens. For a number of years, Deering's golf teams have won their share of honors in competition with southern Maine high schools, and they expect to carry on the tradition in 1955.

Hi-Y's first project was selling programs jointly with the Portland Hi-Y at the Thanksgiving Day Game. They also aided the Community Chest and Salvation Army, and helped out needy families with food baskets at such times of the year as Thanksgiving and Christmas. The club purchased shirts with emblems for its mem- bers to be worn at functions in which Hi-Y partici- pated. This year's Hi-Y president, Dave Zolov, presided over the State Hi-Y Older Boys, Conference held in Auburn. At the conference, Deering Hi-Y member Willis lngalls was elected next yearis vice-president. Another Deering Hi-Y member to be elected to an office this year was Jerry Goldberg. He was elected President of the South-western Hi-Y Council. Other officers of the Deering Hi-Y are Bruce Ne-lson, vice- presidentg Bill Hanson, secretary, Steve Bornstein, treasurer, and Willis Ingalls, corresponding secretary. One of the outstanding social eve-nts of the year was Hi-Yls annual Sno-Ball held February l2. Popu- lar Donna Williams was chosen Sno-Queen by the student body, with Judie lott, Nancy Little, and Col- leen Baker as her attendants. This yearis numerous activities were concluded with Hi-Y's annual gift to the school in June. + K YT?

The purpose of the organization is to Hcreate, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and com- munity high standards of Christian characterf' There is evidence of the success of this motto especially this year. Under the presidency of Elizabeth Sarando, the Tri-Hi-Y has been responsible for several success- ful Community projects, such as the March of Dimes, and the Jimmy Fund. The girls have also aided the Salvation Army with their Annual Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets. The money raising projects for the Tri-Hi-Y girls were the food sales and the successful candy sale. Not to be outdone outside of Deering, the Tri-Hi-Y received several ollices at the Conferences. At the Southern Council Betty Packard was elected treasurer and Aileen Stewart, Chaplain. At the Older Girls, Conference, Pat Gulian was elected first vice-president while Eleanor Fay was elected secretary. As We-ll as being able workers, the girls of Tri-Hi-Y have had many enjoyable social projects. The Silver Tea for the Mothers and girls in March was a great success but not to be forgotten were the Splash parties at the Y, the Slumber parties and the progressive supper. Most of these projects were carried out due to the excellent guidance of Miss Howe. Front row, left to right: Betty Packard, Dotty Foster, Mary Lou Long.

The members of this organization really got around! The boys played football or basketball, or baseball, or they ran with the track team or they swam. Most of them were engaged in more than one sport. The girls, meanwhile, played field hockey, tennis, basketball, or softball or they swam. They also usually played more than one sport. These HD Clubbersi' were good, too. Good enough to have earned their lette-rs. This is required for membership. Not unlike the other Clubs in Deering, this group had many activities. All the wonderful sports as- semblies this year were D-Club sponsored. Not satis- fied with just this, they also had charge of one of the most exciting days this year-the Mayor and Miss Deering campaign day. The climax, of course, was in the evening when the winners were announced. Later, all these athletes ended a very successful year by their annual spring picnic.

The most important project Key Club has undertaken is the serious problem of Juvenile Delinquency which they have worked on jointly with the Kiwanis.

The annual Mayor and Miss Deering Campaign got under way with the usual amount of enthusiasm and calamity. Promptly at 4:00 oiclock Thursday after- noon the school corridors and rooms were freshly papered as posters reading, uVote for Dot and Don, and HColleen and Dick Will Do The Trick were placed in every nook and corner. Along with the sun Friday morning, April 1, came numerous cars, wagons, and anything else on Wheels decked out with posters and paper streamers. Neighbors of Deering were not too gently aroused from their slumber as the parades got under way. Don and Dot started off with a snazzy horse and buggy and were followed by Cam- paign Managers Phil Candelmo and Dixie Redlon, the army and other supporters of this team. Next came Colleen and Dick followed by their campaign mana- gers Phil Tirabassi and Joyce Dulac, flashy floats adorned by bathing beauties and girls from the North Country. After speeches and previews of acts were presented in back of the school, the fun-loving stu- dents and teachers clamored into the auditorium to view the real showf, Don and Dot had a spectacular show of the roaring twenties with a hilarious chorus line of Hdolled-upv boys. Colleen and Dick gave an equally tremendous show which took Colleen and Dick to Boston uthe home of the Red Sox and the beanf, Miami with the urhumba girls, New Orleans, Texas and a tremendous Mbone-breakeri' dance, Chi- cago, New York, and back to Portland. Campaign speeches promising the ideal situations for Deering were related to an enthusiastic audience. Much to the students delight, the campaigns lasted well into the day, and then the fun of funs began. Deering swelled with shouting and singing as boisterous throngs of teenagers flocked through the corridors. At the D-Club Show that night came the climax as Dick and Colleen were crowned his honor and her highness. After hearty congratulations and the dance where 'fthe cutest couple in the U.S.A., Colleen and Dick, were the center of attraction, everyone went home ffinallyj for a good night's sleep. Even though only one couple can win, the campaign was a real success and will long be remembered by those who witnessed it. The excitement was felt by everyone, and it is hoped that in the Class of '56 others were inspired to compete for this honor.

Under the expert direc- tion of Mrs. Culliver, the cast successfully portrayed their roles to an enthusiastic audience. Depicting two rather typical nut exciting days in the life of .lim Anderson and his family, this witty comedy in three acts was built around father's sincere attempts to cope with family problems and the situations which arose from his handi- work. ln an almost professional-like manner, Larry Cohen showed great dramatic talent by his difficult portrayal of a calm, determined father in his early forties. Playing the role of his attractive wife, Nancy Little displayed her charming and sympathetic nature as a devoted wife and mother of three childre-n. The romantic leads of eighteen year old Betty Anderson and her nice-looking boyfriend, Ralph Brinkworth, were played by Jean Skillins and Thomas Payson, naturals in the roles of typical teen-agers. Arthur Atherton brought his basketball tale-nts to the stage in his portrayal of Bud, the Anderson's athletically inclined lifteen year old son. Stealing everybody's heart, tiny Joan Slovak in the role of Kathy appeared with pig-tails and a teddy bear as she bounced around the stage in small-fry fashion. As the dignified, prosperous-looking Mr. Brinkworth, deep-voicedlilohn Adams again showed his natural ability before the foiotlights. Others in the cast were: Dorothy Foster as Janie, Sally Ingalls as Ramona, Nancy Carmichael as Patty, Errol Roy as the repair man, Richard Carr as Officer Johnson, Philip Can- delmo as Bud's friend, Nancy Canfield, Nancy Winslow, and Susan Brilliant as the L'Bloomer Girls from the Garden Club, and ,loyce Crockett as Perkins. 1 Do 35o,u like girls who wear Give me my teddy bear!
