We are very honored to have been chosen to guide you through our beloved halls of Deering High School. On this tour we shall try to show you every phase of high-school life as we know it at Deering. We feel very sad at the thought of leaving our wonderful schoolg so please he patient if we stop to reminisce over all the friendships we have made, the good times we have had, the wonderful experiences we have shared working on extra-curricular activities, and the fine education for which we have studied so diligently to acquire. Soon we, along with all our classmates, will be starting out on unknown roads,-each taking a different avenue. We shall never forget our fruitful years at Deering where we prepared ourselves for the uncertain future. 'The tour is leaving in one minute . . . please follow us carefully . . . are you ready?N INTRODUCING l inns- OUR HALLOWED HALLS .. liighty-two years ago in the fall of 1872, thirty students were enrolled in the first Deering High School in lVlorgan's Hall at Morrill's Corner. Before the first year ended, however, the school was moved to the Heseltinc School on Ocean Avenue where it remained until 1878. ln this year a new Deering, which became the old Longfellow School some years latcr, was established with an enrollment of seventy students. Because of the increasing enrollment of students, larger facilities were required, and in 1897 a new high school was constructed with fourteen classrooms, a library, and a large auditorium. Only fourteen years later, however, it became necessary to build an addition, now the Annex of Lincoln Junior High Svhlllll. lfarly in the spring of 1921, the Classrooms and thc library of tht- school were destroyed in a disas- trous fire. The classes were held in the remaining annex and in two local churches. Again in 1925 the school realized the need to enlarge, and the local contractors of Poor and Thomas- began construction of the present llcering High School. The school was built on the end of a race track in Presumpscot Park, a twenty-eight acre recreational center acquired in 1920, the finest area of its kind in the East connected with a high school. This area once formed part of the Maine Agricultural Fair Grounds with a three story grandstand seating 1,500, with sheds accommodating 400 cattle, and with stalls for 200 horses. No history of a school would be complete, how- ever, without a description of it. Deering is a two story, red-brick structure, -135 feet in length, with English Tudor lines. Flanked on the front and sides by broad lawns broken by brick-flagged walks, the building is banked with plantings of evergreens in- digenous to Maine. Now, with its enrollment of 1226 students, Decr- ing High School is one of the Statels leading insti- tutions: its has had an illustrious history and will have a renowned future if its students continue to uphold Deering's well-established reputation.

Elliott We, the class of 1956, turn this yearis spotlight of honor on Mr. Linwood S. Elliott, who teaches Seniors the Problems of Democracy and the trials and turmoils of Modern European History. A graduate of Deering and Editor of the Amethyst his Senior year, Mr. Elliott returned to his Alma Mater in 1934- as a member of the faculty. Since that time, with the exception of four years of active overseas duty in World War II, during which time he established an excellent war record, Mr. Elliott has made his abode in Room 219, where hundreds of students have laughed over 'iT-0-J-O, Eleanor hates war, and his Fifth Period Black List. Never is there a dull moment in his classesg for not only is Mr. Elliott a fine teacher, but also a great actor. Many times his students have seen him re-enact a battle scene, with helmet and all! Few teachers have as many school responsibilities outside of teaching classes as Mr. Elliott has. For many years, he h-as been the adviser of the Amethyst and of both the Boys' and Girls, Cadet Corps. Re- cently, he founded a Rifle Team with membership opened to any Deering boy who is interested in guns and in marksmanship. Mr. Elliott will always be remembered by all Deering students as the Johnny-on-the-spotv cameraman who is here, there, and everywhere with his camera. Outside of our hallowed halls, Mr. Elliott, a lover of nature, is a real out-door man. His hobbies and pastimes are gun-collecting, 'target practice, hunting, mountain climbing, and camping, all of which he most enjoys doing with his wife and three children, Dick, Roger, and Carolyn. Thus, we point 'with pride and appreciation to our versatile history teacher who will long be a vivid remembrance of our high-school days at Deering. VOTKZ FOG L1 f V I ag S - qt K 1 .

Wiggin Our Principal Faculty and Administration Our Principal's Address To The Class of 1956: High school graduates are currently confronted with opportunities in abundance. Business, industry, and the professions are eagerly looking for thoroughly trained and well disciplined young people. This is a time of great promise. It is well to remember that you never outgrow your need to think and that personal integrity will be your shield against adversity and the greatest assurance of future success. Your training has been directed toward these two objectives. Your plans are varied, your ambitions diverse. It is my hope that your years of study have given you insight into your capabilities and assisted you in establishing some desirable goals. l wish you success in reaching them. Sincerely, 4 --f Mr. Wiggin and the Senior Class Officers meet to discuss plans for Graduation, the Senior Banquet, and the Senior Prom. 1 JOHN E. HAM, JR.

EDITH PITT Guidance Director Subject: Latin, Head of Department Education: B.A., Wellesley, M.A., McGillg Gradu- ate work at Southern Methodist It is easy to see that one of Miss Pitt's favorites is traveling. The wonderful slides that our educa- tional advisor has taken on her trips to Europe in the past few years are difficult to excel.

Cole President of Pathfinders' P.T.A. mally undergo a marked change during the teens. New interests and emotions come into the foregroundg new patterns of conduct are adopted, and new parent-student-teacher relationships are created. It is equally accepted, we believe, by those vitally interested in the welfare of these young men and women that, neither group can do its best work without the other's intelligent understanding and loyal support. Such a back- ground justifies the existence of Pathfinders' P.T.A. of Deering High and Lincoln Junior High School. The officers for the current school year are: Mrs. .lames G. Cole, President, Mrs. Cedric H. Simpson, First Vice President, Mrs. Frank J. Capp, Second Vice President, Mrs. Edward W. McLaughlin, Recording Secretary, Mrs. Lawrence A.

We, the class of 1956, looking fondly back over our experiences at Deering High School, can say that our past four years have been very exciting and beneficial. ln September, 1952, when we entered Deering as freshmen, we were timid but eager to succeed, and with hopes of future success we elected Fred Webber, class President, Brenda Bernstein, Vice-president, Ann Higgins, Secretary, Kilton Saunders, Treasurer, and John Plummer, Jack Clements, and Judy Valle, members of the Executive Committee. Presently we planned our Freshman Reception. As a highlight of this major event, the English classes presented two skits entitled The Tale of Two Cities and Ivanhoe, a chorus of freshmen girls provided music for the occasion which, thanks to the efforts of Miss Dorothy Chase, our inspiring class adviser, proved to be a successful event. Before we realized it, we were Sophomores. After we had better established ourselves, under the capa- ble guidance of Mr. Burr, we began to join the many school activities, and soon chose Mike Littlefield to lead us with Connie Atherton as Vice-president, Diane Sturgis as Secretary, Nancy Capp as Treasurer, and Joan Aceto, Linda Neilson, and Wayne Bruns as members of the Executive Committee. The main event of the extremely eventful year was our marvelous Sophomore Hop. At the beginning of our Junior year Willis Ingalls was elected as the head man with Margaret Hildreth as Vice-president, Diane Walker as Secretary, Mike Littlefield as Treasurer, and Nancy Capp, John Plummer, and Carol Chard as the members of the Executive Committee. Under the direction of our class adviser, Mr. John McCann, we presented our Junior Prom, June in Japan. Many members of our class received honors including Mary Elizabeth Shesong who won the Ralph Gould Award, and Druscilla Headlee, who won a trip to New York for her winning essay on the United Nations. During the summer before our Senior year, Mar- garet Hildreth represented Deering at Dirigo Girls' State and was elected governor of the state convention. Bob Boyd and Wayne Bruns represented Deering at Dirigo Boys' State. Then the big moment in our lives arrived. We were seniors at last - the leaders of Deering High School, and we began the year by electing Eliot Rich, President, Mary Elizabeth Shesong, Vice-president, Carol Chard, Secretary, Willis Ingalls, Treasurer, and Diane Sturgis, Connie Atherton, and Bob Blair, members of the Executive Committee. The football team, led by Captain Bob Conlogue, completed its season successfully. Three players were particularly outstanding. Joel Densmore won the trophy for the outstanding back, Doug Stone, the trophy for the outstanding lineman, and Mike Littlefield, the trophy for outstanding sportsmanship. Co-captains Joel Densmore and Doug Stone led our basketball squad through a record season while Norise Dolley piloted the baseball team through another outstanding year. A special note of credit should go to our wonderful manager of these sports teams, Frank Fleischer. Cheering these athletes on to victory this year were head cheerleader Connie Atherton and Diane Sturgis, Judy Cray, Joan and Janice Stevenson, Ann Higgins, Dotty Grant, Judy Valle, and Judy Pride. Eleanor Fay, captain of the basketball team, and Margaret Hildreth captain of the hockey and swim- ming teams were among the numerous outstanding athletes of our girls' sports teams. Connie Atherton, recipient of the D.A.R. good citizenship award wasgchosen Sno-Queen with Diane Stur- gis and Carol Chard as her attendants. Also sharing senior honors were Judy Gray and Fred Webber who won top awards in the Novice Division at the Bowdoin Debate this year. While Frank Fleischer helped the Washington Club plan the best Washington trip in Deering's history, Drucy Headlee worked to give us an issue of Ramblings every month, and Mary Elizabeth Shesong, the busy tto phrase it mildly? editor of the AMETHYST endeavored, the entire year, to publish this wonderful book. In no time at all, we began to rehearse for our graduation. After we had presented The Importance of Being Earnest as our class play, Seniorls Last Assembly, graduation, and the Senior Prom approached. As the class of 1956, we shall remember Deering long after we have left its halls, the memories and acquaintances that we have made will live within us for the rest of our lives.

As Freshmen, we were under the fine leadership of Tony Germaine, Presidentg Robert Duffey, Vice-Presidentg Jane Howe, Secretary, Miriam Bonell, Treasurerg and James Keenan, Ted Davies, and Stuart Snyder, Execu- tive Committee. As confident Sophomores, we elected Alan Colley, President, Carol Mars- ton, Vice Presidentg Sonja Sorensen, Secretaryg Stuart Snyder, Treasurer, and Dian Ames, Eddie Williams, and Sally Serunian, Executive Committee. This year as Juniors we are very proud of our class representatives who are pictured on this page. We upheld the tradition of the Junior class by presenting the annual Junior Prom, which, as always, was a big success. We, as juniors, look forward to our Senior year, during which we will take on the responsibilities for which we have long been preparing ourselves.

As in the first year we saw many new faces as well as many familiar ones. We were more experienced and took delight in teasing the green-horn freshmen. We began our second voyage with great anticipation, looking forward to another year of fun and study. ln our Freshman year, we elected an excellent slate of officers which proved to be very capable. They were: President, Alice Whitneyg Vice Pres- ident, Kenneth Penzag Secretary, Jeanne Cetchellg Treasurer, Sara Jane Mc- Donaldg Executive Committee, Karen Kibler, John Cottrell, and Michael Sandler. This year we selected the fine group of officers pictured on this page. This spring we Sophomores planned and put on our traditional Hop. Now another milestone crossed, we leave the halls of Deering eager to return to our junior year which we realize will be filled with jobs of responsibility and importance.

Where therels a will, there's a way, and the weary, worn. but relieved editors lwho incidentally, re- semble quite closely the popular sack of bones in the biology lab! have left in their last wills and testaments an entirely new and certainly unique yearbook to the students of Deering High School. Mary Elizabeth She- song, the ubiquitous one, and her little will-makers and Mr. Linwood Elliott, the faculty adviser lwho always prayed for a miraclet have burned enough midnight oil to make John D. Rockefeller a millionaire all over again in order that the book could meet those ominous deadlines - dead editors also. We hardly ever made the deadlines because of a multitude of fantastic reasons but we did manage to get the stuff ing although the ad- viser was reminded of the description of the man who jumped upon his horse and rode furiously off in all directions. Do you feel that you're always in a constant rush? Do you have droopy dark circles under your eyes? Can you see flashbulbs popping like a chemical explosion before your eyes? Can you feel your legs giving out at the thought of trudging to Baltimore to get the book in on time? Do your sides ache from spasms of un- controllable laughter? lf this describes your decrepit state, then you are an AMETHYST worker! But, don't worry, the sun is bound to shine againg and soon youill sitting back and saying, Those were the good old days when we turned night into dayf, Seriously though, we AMETHYST editors and workers of 1956, although we have sacrificed much pre- cious time, have tried to do our best to uphold the high standards of Deering's yearbook. After much fuss- ing and fuming we have decided that all has not been in vain, for we feel that in leaving this book of memories entitled This ls Our Life,', we are leaving a living memory of our wonderful high-school days. We realized from the beginning that we could not please everyone in every way, nevertheless, we tried to design a book which would hold some significance to every student who roams our hallowed halls. We wish the best of luck to the AMETH YSTS of the future, and we hope that all future workers will enjoy as much fun as we have had in making this book a reality. . f al AMETHYST EDITORIAL STAFF-Front Row, L. to R.: A.

Another deadline metln was the happy cry each month when Ramblings went to press. Staff mem- bers slaved diligently to produce six pages of scintillating copy, a preview of the coming dance, the score of the latest game, and the latest who's-going-with-who of Horning-In. The ads sprinkled throughout the paper meant that the hard-working Advertising Staff had trudged from store to store with enough success to balance the Ramblings budget. The Circulation girls kept us out of the red with a bang-up campaign every time. The editors wallowed in adjectives to describe the bustle of Deering life: and the most tedious job of all, typing, was handled with nearly letter-perfect success. Capably headed by Editor-in-Chief Druscilla Headlee, the staff has tried to make Ramblings the students' paper by encouraging editorials and by sponsoring the Suggestion Box in the Library. Now, as the year has ended and the job is done, Ramblings would like to pause and thank heartily its faculty advisor, Mr. John McCann, the man who made all this possible. His patient, friendly assistance and untiring effort have again guided Ramblings through a successful and happy year. RAMBLINGS TYPING CREW -Seated: Ruth Fundin and Shirley Nelson, Head Typist.

The First Battalion of the Deering High School Boy's Cadet Corps made an excellent showing at the Cadet Ball in May under the able leadership of Lieut. Col Vinal Thompson and Major Paul Nelson. The past year also found Col. Carl MacDowell and Lieut. Col. John Learson doing much traveling between Portland and Deer- ing, as the regimental command was at Deering this year. The First Battalion's Minutemen also made numer- ous guest appearances and distinguished themselves at the Cadet Ball. The Color Guard during the past year performed with the band in assemblies and at football games. Another extra-curricula activity was added to the corps in the form of a rifle club. The girl cadets meet in the gym every Monday and Friday mornings for their regular drills. The cadet corps is divided into the third and fourth battalions under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonels Shirley Gray and Barbara Brown. The corps is under the supervision of Linwood S. Elliott, faculty adviser, and Colonel Karl V. Palmer. adviser for both Deering and Portland cadets. The cadets do more than just drill twice a week.

The fall of 1955 saw a Deering football team, spattered with juniors and sophomores, complete a season that was not too successful considering the scores. However, if it is taken into consideration that most of the team will be back next year plus the fact that most of the results were a difference of not more than two TD,s, the season presents a brighter picture. Our team made a fine beginning by taking a game away from our arch-rival Portland High, 18-12, but the next week we failed to be so forceful losing to Cheverus 20-0. The Lewiston game dealt some hard blows, and we succumbed to the score of 14-12. The next week we played our best game, but we were edged out in the last half by a fighting South Portland team 24-20. We went into the next game over-elated and were defeated 20-0 by Gardiner as a consequence. Handicapping our passing game, rain foiled our at- tempt to beat St. Louis and we were defeated 20-0. ln the next game, for the second time, we were beaten in the last half 20-13, after struggling with Sanford. Thornton outweighed us by thirty-five pounds per man in the line: we fought a hard battle, but the odds were too great. We lost 53-13. The Thanksgiving Day Game brought more misery as we were beaten 14-0 by a fighting Portland team. Twice we threatened to score only to lose the ball. A blocked punt also contributed to turn the tide. Some of the seniors who will be missed next season are: Capt. Bob Conlogue, John Plummer, Mike Little- field, Bob Blair, Alan Gardiner, Russ Brown, Doug Stone, Joel Densmore, Hank Sudbay, Amo Romano, and Don Miller. 1955 SCOREBOARD Deering 18 ...,, ....

The Junior Varsity football team played diligently this year: however, they were defeated in four games. They lost to Cheverus, Portland, Thornton, and to St. Louis. Nevertheless, the players gained valuable experi- ence in playing and in sportsmanship. We shall see ma ny of them playing on the varsity team next year. The Freshman football team started its season by learning the fundamentals of the game and a few plays from Coach Mallet. After a few weeks of practice, they took three straight games away from Chev- erus, Portland, and Thornton, however, they lost to two more experienced schools, St. Louis and South Portland. These freshmen showed much promise for the future: for, they were full of school spirit and rug- gedness - the two essentials for making a successful team.

Under the able direction of head cheerleader Connie Atherton, the squad also sponsored the first dance of thc year, bought new uniforms, served at football and basketball banquets, held their own banquet, and helped with other projects around school. Seniors on the squad included Janice Stevenson, Joan Stevenson, Judy Valle, Judy Pride. Diane Sturgis, Dorothy Grant. and Judy Gray. The juniors were June Frye and Gerry Searwayg Ann Higgins served as a substitute. livery Monday and Friday the J.V. cheerleaders could bc seen practicing their yells for the J.V. foot- ball and basketball games. By cheering at these games and substituting at Varsity games, the girls gained experience and are now looking forward to the time when they will lead Deering at all the Varsity games.

The Deering High School hoopmen combined spirit, talent, and sound coaching to overcome a slow start and emerge as one of the top ranking teams in the state. Their 11-5 record was good enough to earn 4th place in the Western Maine Tournament ratings. Much of the credit is due to Coach Russell Tubby Washburn, who returned this year after two years in retire- ment to take the place of Coach Ray Bicknell - now directing the Egyptian Olympic squad - and did a great job with the boys. The remainder of the credit goes to the team itself, the managers, the cheerleaders, and the students who supported them. Our co-captains, Joel Densmore and Doug Stone played heads-up basketball the entire season, Joel as a resourceful forward with a radar guided shot and Doug as a cool-headed playmaker. Towering Russ Brown, at center, did his part to keep the team winning as a powerful rebounder and point- producer. Rounding out the starting five we have Dick Smith, a greatly improved guard who is noted for his hard-driving and intense spirit, and Jack Clements, a transfer student from North Carolina whose accurate set shot and blanket-like guarding was a great help to the team. Norise Dolley, a good sound ballplayer and a favorite with all the spectators heads the list of reserves. Next come our four underclassmen, who showed great promise for the years to come. Sophomore Butch Cottrell and Junior Sam Houston are two reliable players who saw considerable service in the pivot slotg while Billy Palmer and Dave Murdock played well in the backcourt. Seniors Wayne Bruns and Will Ingalls also worked well in a reserve role along with Sophomores Pete Reynolds, Dick Allen and Pete 0'Donovan who came up from the J.V.'s during the season. The Rams started the season unspectacularly with wins over Lewiston, Rockland and Biddeford, coupled with losses to St. Louis, South Portland, and Westbrook. Then they grad- ually began to work as a smooth team and gathered experi- ence and momentum as they went along. From this point they continued on to thump arch-rival Portland twice and win the remainder of their games except for a pair of losses to a highly regarded Cheverus team. The highlight of the season was a hard-fought 37-35 victory over South Portland, which left the players jubilant and the fans limp. Another impressive show- ing was our early season win over the Rockland High five. .lust a few of the outstanding events of the season included Russ Brown's 29 points against Cheverus, Noris Dolley's 4th period scourge of this same team in a later game, Smitty's rampaging dribbles through opposing teams, Jack's swishes from way out, and Doug Stone's 24 points against a giant Edward Little team. Joel Densmore is hard to put under one outstanding event as are the others, but he is particularly known for his steady play. Congratulations to a fine team, and a fine coach - for a job well done.

The J.V. basketball team had a very successful season. After a slow start, they went on a winning spree and took the city championship. ln starring roles were Billy Palmer, Butch Cottrell, and Sam Houston, twhom the J.V.'s borrowed from the Varsitylg Captain Pete O'Donovon, Dick Allen, and Pete Reynolds, who later graduated to the Varsityg and Eddy Williams, Doug Swasey, and Booth', Boothby, who were stalwart re- serves. ln order to win the championship, the Deering J.V.'s had to win the playoff which followed the regu- lar season. They defeated Portland High in a close Contest, thereby winning the championship. Mr. Clayton Smith coached the Junior Varsity team. The Freshman basketball team had a fairly successful season. Although their record was not outstand- ing: the team did produce several excellent players who undoubtedly will be a great asset to the Varsity team in a few years. Helping at the practices at the Stevens Avenue Armory and teaching the new players the fundamentals was Mr. Redmond who skillfully managed the team.

Deering High School had a reason to look proudly in the direction of its cross country track team again this year. Led by their able coach, Buck Harvell, and paved by its star, Dave Red Rolfe, the team kept up an undefeated string of more than fifteen victories. Many of its wins were by surprisingly low scoresg for, in track the lowest score wins. '4Red Rolfe, a junior, lowered many record times. In the South-Western Maine cross country meet, he won an individual title by coming in first in the mile. Helping the team to a successful season were many boys who returned from last year, as well as several newcomers. One of the basketball players, Senior Dick Smith, surprised every follow- er of track by keeping up with Rolfe all the way to the tape. Those who returned from last year are Arthur Guy, a strong finisher and ,lim Phillips, George Goodall and Walt Dowling. The newcomers who came out to get in shape for basketball were Wayne Bruns, .lack Clements, and Willy Ingalls.

Although the track team, led by Coach Harvell suffered two defeats this season, it was still rated as one of the top teams in the state. Among the highlights of the season were Dave Rolfe's continued undefeated record, and the discovery of three stars - Jim Keenan, Wayne Gelinas, and Mike Simpson. 'LRed,7 Rolfe, the greatest distance runner ever to run for Deering, kept up his winning streak even over college men. He won his event in the Bowdoin meet and the Maine meet against strong college runners. Jim Keenan, weighing in under 135 pounds, was one of the best sprinters in high school competition. Wayne Ge- linas and Mike Simpson, turned in winning performances. Celinas will be back next year, but the track team is likely to lose Simpson to the basketball team. Deering did well in the State Meet placing second, ten points behind Sanford. In spring outdoor track, the boys placed first in the State Meet at Colby College on June 2. Albert Shea - high stepping!

Swimming Team had another successful season this year with seven wins and one defeat. The last two years, they have won fourteen meets and lost two. Many records were broken this year. The 160- yard Medley Relay mark was lowered twice by Bob Madsen, Fred Webber, Elliot Maynard, and Alan Col- ley. Colley also broke the 200-yard freestyle. Lenny Lee broke the 100-yard freestyle mark twice this year and was anchor man on the record breaking 180 free- style relay. Webber, Colley, and ,lim Branscombe were the other men on this relay team. Bob Madsen broke the 100-yard backstroke and Fred Webber lowered his mark in the 100-yard breaststroke. Our only defeat this year occurred when Portland squeaked out and went on to win the state meet. How- ever, Deering was close behind with Lee, Madsen, and Webber winning state titles. Coached by Amos Hawkes, the team made victims of Brunswick, Edward Little, Cheverus, Bowdoin Erosh, He- bron Academy, and the Exeter ,I.V.'s. The team was made up mostly of underclassmen, and promises a real threat to Portlandis supremacy next year. The team sent their best men to the New England Meet this yearg Lee, Colley, Maynard, Madsen, and Web- ber twho won the 100-yard butterfly last yearlg all made a fine showing.

They finally began practice during the April vacation. While they were waiting for the snow to melt, the boys managed very well practicing in the gymnasium. Coach Harlow got the boys limbered up by hitting grounders to the fieldersg and the pitchers and catchers loosened up their arms by playing catch.

Their record was five wins and one loss. For the first time Deering had a freshman hockey team. Although they did not play any games, their time was spent practicing with the ,l.V. and Varsity Teams. This experience gave them a fine foundation for future varsity play. JV Field Hockey And Girls' Tennis-Full Of Spirit..

Will you come to tea, Algernon' On March 26, 1956, at 8:15 P.M. in the Deering High School auditorium, the Senior Class of 1956 presented its annual play. This year's production was entitled The Importance of Being Earnest. Both Algernon and John use the name of Ernest in order that they might propose to Cecily and Gwen- doline, respectively. Throughout the production, Lady Bracknell tightly holds the reins to both marriages. As the play pro- gresses, the plot becomes more and more involved until no one, including the players themselves, know who is an Ernest,, and who isn't. Of course, everything turns out successfully and each one finds his true love. Regardless of the fact that the play had to be postponed because of bad weather, it, nevertheless, was a tremendous success, thanks to the tireless efforts of the director, cast, and stage crew. To me, you have always been exquisitely incomprehensible! Behind the curtain of the theatre world. 'K fo D 'Zinn -l Make Way for the Mayor and Miss Deering . His Honor, the Mayor of Deering, Russ Brown The 25 Annual D Club Show was held on April 7, in the Deering High School auditorium. A change in the usual procedure was made this yearg instead of a one-day campaign be-ing heltl during school time, the campaign festivities were carried on throughout the weekend. Her Highness, Miss Deering, Judy Clark Many weeks of planning and rehearsing were put into the campaigns of Judy Clark-Russ Brown and Dottie Grant- Doug Stone. On Thursday afternoon, April 5, at four o'clock, the interior of Deering High School was entirely transformed to resemble a campaign platform. Signs, posters, campaign slogans, and pictures decorated every nook and corner of the school. On Friday morning, an assembly was held in which each campaign used one act from its show which was held Friday evening: accompanying these acts was also a preview of the D Club Show. Cheers and campaign songs could be heard for miles around pouring forth from the auditorium. The students treated the couples as if they were members of the royalty, and the couples respond- ed as graciously as if they were Doug Stone its very entertaining Mardi Gras Festival. This was followed by Dot and Dougie's campaigns interpretation of the Best of Broadway. Each show was just jam-packed with music, laughs, gaiety, and loads of talent. Each campaign show was entirely differentg each displayed great originality of ideas: and each had hundreds of ardent campaigners who were entirely devoted to the cause. At the end Lf the campaign shows and speeches, the entire student body voted in designated rooms. Following the vot- ing, dancing was held in the gymnasium. At 11:00 P.M., 126 kings and queens. On Friday evening at 8:00 P.M., Judy and Russ' campaign began the festive evening with Dottie Cmnt hundreds of tired little campaigners returned home to await anxiously the results of their tireless efforts. On April 7, all of Deering turned out once more for the D Club Show. After fourteen acts of superb entertainment had been presented by members of the student body with Frank Fleischer, President of the D Club, and Bobby Carter doing a marvelous job as M. C.'s, the long awaited moment arrived. The royal carpet was rolled out, and the Mayor and Miss Deering entered the room. The enthusiastic applause continued while Russ and Judy walked down the aisle and onto the stage where they took their places of honor.

Dear Amethyst, Well, another year has passed and another group of workers has sweated and strainedg another editor has wound herself into a bundle of nervesg and poor Mr. Elliott for another year has had to ask himself, Will the Amethyst ever come out on time? Even though you have caused endless trouble and worry for a great many people, I shall console you by saying that all of your workers feel that it has certainly been worth all of the burned mid-night oil and heart attacks. Year after year you have suffered with each new editor, even the crazy ones who get cock-eyed ideas about having an Amethyst with no copy and all pictures as well as the editors who think it's just a ball to stay up all night in order to add the finishing touches. Nevertheless, you continue to come through it with flying colors, bringing many memories and chuckles of each year's events with you. You and l have become very close buddies this yearg how- ever, we have by no means done the work all alone. Our wonderful friends, classmates, and adviser have helped us all the way. We owe our deepest thanks to Mrs. Edwin Burns who so kindly offered her wonderful talent and produced all of our attractive divider pages. Appreciation and thanks also go to the Vantine, Jackson-White, and Roger Patil .lordan Studios who have been so cooperative in sending in the glossy prints promptly. Likewise, we are indebted to the Portland Press Herald and Sullivan's Photo Service for their wonderful as- sistance and cooperation in getting pictures for us. We owe deadline apologies and heartfelt thanks to Mr. Schultz and the H. C. Roebuck Company who printed our book. As for our classmates, a note of particular thanks goes to Eleanor Tevan and her enthusiastic Publicity Staff with whose hard work we managed to break the all-time record, selling 845 Anzethysts. Hearty hands of applause also go to: Our section heads who really put every effort into making you. Dear Amethyst, a success . . . Our Business Manager Eliot Rich who not only kept the records in perfect order, but who also ,kept up drooping spirits and did such a marvelous job on the personalization of the books . . . Our Assistant Editors, Albert Blodgett and Jerry Goldberg, who rooted the old girl on by thinking up those crazy themes like Dragnet . , . 134 The Editor-in-Chief checks the proofs. Our versatile Lay-Out Editor, ,ludy Gray. who not only worked diligently laying out the pages, but also supplied mu- sic while we worked . . . Our just-plain-terrific Typing Editor Linda Brooks and all of her staff who were always on the job just at the right moment . . . Our Photography Editor, Roger Manning, and his helper, Tommy Payson, who really went around in circles trying to find out where the pictures were supposed to be taken . . . Our circulation heads, Connie Atherton, Carol Chard, and Diane Sturgis and their staff who kept the records ship- shape . . . Our advertising Co-Editors Carole Buck and Lois Millet who really had a tough job to do . . . Our Senior Section heads, Sheila Marshall and Janet Farley who did such an outstanding job land who also kept smiling even when they had to do it all over again . . .P Our junior editors, Meg Thompson, Carolyn Hawkes, and Dick Slosberg whom I really ran ragged doing odd jobs . . . Our entire Amethyst staff who really pitched in when the going was rough . . . And to all of the students in Deering High School who gave their full cooperation with picture-taking, buying the books, and putting up with our crazy, mixed-up picture sched- ule. We owe our deepest thanks to: Miss Hueston who made it possible for us to include the speakers for the graduation exercises . . . All of our teachers who have been so kind when the editor sneaked' in after a late discussion with Mr. Elliott . . . And to our devoted adviser, Mr. Linwood Elliott, to whom we had to feed aspirins by the carloads in order to prepare him for last-minute deadline rushes. Nevertheless. he was al- wavs a wonderful sport with undaunted optimism. Also, I want to thank my mother without whose kind con- sideration and understanding this book would never have come DUI. With these last words of thanks, the Amethyst and I say good-bye, hoping that you have enjoyed this year's journey through the halls of Deering and hoping that we have brought you a vivid memory of your Deering life. I wish the best of luck and success to you, Dear Amethyst, and your editors of the future.
