HISTORY 0F THE CLASS OF '57 Long live the class of 1957! These four years of hard work and happiness will live forever in our hearts. Wide-eyed and slightly bewildered We entered the halls of Deering in September of 1953 and soon got into the swing of things by electing Tony Ger- maine, President, Robert Duffey, Vice President, Jane Howe, Secretary, Miriam Bonell, Treasurer, and James Keenan, Teddy Davis, and Stuart Snyder, Exec- utive Committee. To guide us through the traditional Sophomore slumpv we elected Alan Colley, President, Carol Mar- ston, Vice President, Sonja Sorenson, Secretary, Stuart Snyder, Treasurer, Dian Ames, Eddie Williams, and Sally Serunian, Executive Committee. The high- light of the year, our Sophomore Hop called Fu- turamaf' was really out of this world. Danny Aceto led us through our Junior year aided by Pat Ledger, Vice President, Kathi Koenig, Sec- retary, Dian Ames, Treasurer, Alan Colley, Sonja Sorenson, and Tony Germaine, Executive Committee. Under the direction of our class adviser, Mr. John McCann, we presented our Junior Prom, An Evening ln Dreamlandf' Linda Elowitch and Sally Serunian represented Deering at Dirigo Girls, State. Stuart Snyder and Eliot Maynard attended Dirigo Boys' State for Deering. Seniors at last! This was the busiest year in our lives when we burned the midnight oil to finish our chemistry problems or write that story for Ramblings, yet we still seemed to find time for fun. To preside over us we elected Jimmy Keenan, President, Dick Schad, Vice President, June Frye, Secretary, Edward Reidman, Treasurer, Executive Committee, Pat Led- ger, Dian Ames, Allan Colley. Led by Stu Snyder and Jimmy Keenan, our co- captains, the football team had a very successful season climaxed by winning the Thanksgiving Game. Ernie Goodwin won the trophy for the outstanding lineman, and Jim Keenan, the trophy for outstanding sportsmanship. Our basketball team was led by Captain Dave Murdock who was aided by the outstanding team- work of Bob Carter, Dave fSamj Houston, and Joe Pete Tanguay. Cheering these teams to victory, and leading school spirit, were head cheerleader June Frye, Gerry Sear- way, Dawn Mclntyre, and Kathi Koenig. Outstanding as girl athletes were Judy Aaskov, captain of the hockey team, Sonja Sorenson, captain of the basketball team. Other ,athletes who excelled were Pat Ledger, Linda Redlon, Jane Howe, and Judie Marsh. June Frye, recipient of the Brotherhood Award, was chosen as Sno-Queen at the Annual Sno-Ball and Gerry Searway and Ellen Klev were her attendants, Meg Thompson was awarded with the D.A.R. award for the best citizen of our class. Carol Sweetser, as editor-in-chief of Ramblings, made sure that its deadline was met each month, and Dick Slosberg, dubbed the '5Happy Wanderer', not without reason, could always be seen chasing around the corridors for all the stories and pictures for this excellent year book. All too soon came practice for 'Senior singing and then graduation, but although we are leaving Deering, we will never forget the good advice of our instructors or the fun of being classmates. Respectfully Submitted, JUNE FRYE, Secretary of Class of 1957
