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.
