Chandler Barbour Wilfred Conary During the year, the sale of The Messenger , which had published the yearbook from its birth, necessitated Uigllleen. securing the services of an out of town publisher. The contract was awarded to Furbush-Roberts of Ban- gor. Early in the year, an intensive, house-to-house subscription cam- paign was organized in order to in- sure funds for the increased cost of publication. As a result of this cam- paign 3O0 copies of the yearbook will be in circulation this year as com- pared to the usual 200. We wish to thank all persons who responded so generously to these efforts to con- tinue the publication of The Gathererf' We should like to thank, also, our advertisers. We appreciate the help of Mrs, Matheson in planning and preparing the material for the book. Mr. Ma- theson has served as business ad- viser.

The Chorus The McKinley High School chorus was reorganized in January of this year when Miss Marion Jaques again joined us to direct the music. Forty-two students sing in the chorus, of which number half are sopranos. There are eight altos, six tonors, and eight basses. Two peri- ods on Mondays and Thursdays are spent in choral singing. There is much improvement over last year's work as we are gradually becoming better-trained singers. Our nrst performance was be- tween the acts of the Town Meeting Play. On this occasion we sang Santa Lucia , John Peel , and Moonlight and Starlight . We are now practicing songs for graduation. The Deer Isle and Stonington choruses are now planning a social with group singing and a dance afterward. Although we have no orchestra this year, Miss Jaques has started a band composed of Stonington and Deer Isle students. Wilfred Conary plays the saxophone, Frank Picker- ing and Richard Knowlton, trumpets, and Dolores .Poitras plays the clari- net. Fourth row: B. Thompson, G. Waterman, P. Capen, J. Eaton, B. Eaton, R.
