74ml Za am PARENTS cada guided aa .. Mr. Marion Packard Mrs. J. Allen Jackson Mrs. George Anderson PATHFINDERS P.T. A. 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.
