Senior Class History On September 10, 1945, twenty- four green freshmen made their way up the steps of McKinley High School. We were greeted by our teachers, Mr. Arthur Cole, Mrs. Maude Stinson, and Miss Ethel Rand. Soon the sophomores gave a reception in our honor. Early in the year we lost Gainor McGorrill, Wil- fred Hardy, and Winslow Sewell. Later, Paul Herrick, Mildred Weed, .Rachael Parker, Eleanor Shepard, Violet Haskell, and Berlyn Eaton also left us. We started our sophomore year with an entirely new set of teachers, Mr. Murdock Matheson, Mrs. Frieda Matheson, and Miss Maud Thayer. A reception for the new freshmen was the first social event. Jean Weir left us in the fall. Basketball was intro- duced by our new principal, and we enjoyed games and trips. Miss Mar- ion Jaques, our new music teacher, established a chorus and orchestra. We lost our superintendent, Mr. Paul Brown, and were introduced to a new one, Mr. Ralph Smith. Seventeen of us returned for the junior year to find the school had become a six year high school. Mrs. Margaret Eaton had replaced Miss Thayer, and Mr. George Adamian was to be junior high teacher and coach of boys' athletics. Rita Water- man came to us from Springfield, Vermont. In March our class present- ed the Town Meeting Play, Maid to Order. On March 31 our parents gave us our first basketball banquet, at which awards were presented. A ten weeks' course in dancing was given in the spring under the super- vision of Josephine Shanley of Ban- gor. Patsy Davis left us during the year. .Six Returning as seniors, We found that the laboratory boasted a re-ar- rangement, and gas had been piped in. New typewriters were evidence of the re-establishment of the com- mercial course. Mrs. Charlene John- son was the new teacher of commer- cial subjects. Mr. Frederick Suther- land had replaced Mr. Adamian. Miss Jaques had not returned. On Parents' Night in November our class con- ducted a panel discussion. On No- vember 24, we presented the Thanks- giving Play, The Cannibal Queen. At the third annual A. A. fair, our class for the third consecutive year topped the other classes in the amount earned by the class project. As we consider the record of our class, certain individuals stand out for their achievements. Clara How- ard, Cornelia Billings, Frank Picker- ing, and Chandler Barbour have been highest scholastically. Outstanding as athletes have been Sylvia Eaton, Lindsey Milan, Cornelia Billings, Ben Pickering, Frank Pickering, and Wilma Spofford. Christine Dunham, Frank Pickering, Chandler Bar- bour, Wilma Spofford, and Geraldine Haskell have received recognition in State and National literary contests. In dramatics, Chandler Barbour, Lindsey Milan, Clara Howard, Cor- nelia Billings, Christine Dunham, and Frank Pickering have excelled. Lindsey Milan and Frank Pickering deserve special commendation for the executive ability they have evi- denced. As we look ahead to graduation, we feel reluctant to leave, but grate- ful for the four happy years which have been ours. V Wilma Spofford, '49

Allow us to introduce Professor Barbour. What would our plays have been without Chandler's skillful portrayal of professors and bashful maids? Chandler is also our class Rembrandt. An ardent admirer of Walter Scott, he things Latin is ' easy. The deduction that he stands high scholastically is correct. However, Chandler can dribble a mean basketball, too. The best of luck to one who de- serves no less! CHARLES EDWARD BARBOUR t'Cha'rlie Born at Chelsea, Massachusetts, January 28, 1931.

Here he comes! No, there he goes! Charlie is widely known for his Heetness on the diamond, and if you want to get a hand like a ham catch Charlie's fast ones for a couple of innings. His balls really smoke. In math class he has solved with the greatest of ease all the problems that stumped us. And his humorous, fantastic tales have enlivened many an English period. Charlie plans to go steam shipping. That's the old Deer Isle spirit, Charlie! CHARLES EVERETT BETTS Betts Born at Sunshine, Maine, October 14, 1932. Course.

It's that tall, dark, and handsome lad from Mountainville. Among Charlie's in- terests are lobstering, baseball, practical science, and certain members of the opposite sex, Not to be soon for- gotten is the help that he gave us as stage manager at our class plays. Best of luck from the forty-niners.
