I Guidance Deering welcomes Mr. Linwood T. Crandall, our new Freshman Counsellor. Our school has certainly acquired a capable man, for Mr. Crandall was principal, guidance director, and a teacher at Creely Institute in Cumberland. Mr. Crandall received his B.A. at Colby and his Master of Education at Bates. Gardening is one of his many hobbies. We want to wish Mr. Crandall the best of luck at Deering High School.

She has studied at the University of Southern California, the Sorbonne, Harvard, and Columbia. She enjovs traveling, gardening, and water sports. Miss Dolley's pet peeve is the people who criticize Deering even though they don't know anything about itv. We would like to thank Miss Dolley for all the help she has given us. Mr. -Iohn E. Ham, Deeringis submaster for the past four years, has a B.S. from Gorham State Teachers, Col- lege and an M.A. from Harvard. He has also done grad- nate work at Boston University, Boston College, Har- vard, and the University of Maine. Among his outside interests are the Navy. golf, and skiing. Mr. Ham dis- approves strongly of those students who do not plan aheadn. Mr. Ham, we want to thank you for your under- standing and aid in helping students to overcome their problems. Miss Edith Pitt, Deering's Education Advisor, is also one of the school's favorite Latin teachers. Miss Pitt earned her B.A. from Wellesley, an M.A. from McGill, and has done graduate work at Southern Methodist University. Photography and travel are two of Miss Pittis varied outside activities. Her pet peeve is those stu- dents-especiallv -luniors-who fail to sign up for in- terviews and tests before the deadlinesf' Linwood T. Crandall and John E. Ham F' ite.-27 ,,,,-,NW Mira L.

Aiiniinisiraiinn, Guidance and Teachers Mr. Wiggin, Principal PRINCIPAUS MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF 1959 This is an exciting time in which to graduate from any school, for the need and demand for educated people is at a high level. To be sure, your education has just begun, but your future will most certainly require both well qualified leaders and a majority of our fellow citi- zens able to comprehend intelligently the complex prob- lems and manifold opportunities of a rapidly changing society. Each one of you, in varying degree, will be called upon many times to demonstrate both judgment and courage. The decisions you make both privately and publicly will have greater effect than any of us can reasonably foresee. It is my hope that the experiences you have received at Deering will, in some measure, assist you in making such decisions wisely and well and that you have learned to accept personal responsibility for your thoughts and actions. I congratulate you upon your accomplishments and wish you wellf' Deering's principal, Carleton Wiggin, is a graduate of Bates College. He received his Master of Arts Degree at Columbia University and he has attended many summer sessions. Before becoming principal at Deering, Mr. Wiggin taught and coached at Portsmouth and Deering High Schools, and at Wesleyan and Bates Colleges, where his subject was Psychology. Mr. Wiggin has coached such sports as baseball and football at all the schools where he has taught. He is also one of the founding members of the National Honor Society of which Deering is proud to have many members each year. Besides his busy schedule at school, Mr. VViggin enjoys sports even though he is no longer participating. He also enjoys traveling and does extensive reading. Deering is proud to have such an all-round principal as Mr. Wiggin. I X.
