We arrived, one by one, some walking, but the most of us riding on the familiar yellow schoolbuses. Eager, as always on the first day of school, we climbed the stairway to the main How often we would climb same stairs during our five room. those years at D. I. H. S. We were in the eighth grade, ten This was the first year that in all. the school had had the eighth grade as one of the classes of the new five- year high school plan. We were as-- signed to a room downstairs under the guidance of Miss Ethel Rand. Our teachers were: Mr. Arthur Cole, Mrs. Maude Stinson, and Miss Ethel Rand. Our class officers were: president, Bruce Haskell, vice-president, Duane Gray: secretary, Gloria Barbourg and treasurer, Denise Snowman. During the year, we were joined by four new classmates, who were Raymond Poitras, Dorothy Eaton, Edmund Robbins, and Lucy Small. Edmund Robbins left before the close of the year leaving our number at thirteen. On our return to Deer Isle High School in the fall of 1946, we were under the direction of our new teach- ers, Mr. Murdock Matheson, Mrs. Frieda Matheson, and Miss Maud Thayer. They introduced us to such subjects as Algebra, Latin, and World History. This year our super- intendent was Mr. Ralph Smith who replaced Mr. Paul Brown. Also on the faculty was Miss Marion Jaques, our new music teacher. Dorothy Eaton did not return this year but Brooksie Thompson joined us. Early in September, we were guests of honor at a reception given to us by the sophomores at the Town Hall. Here we received our formal initiation. Many were the stunts we had to perform, much to the glee of the upperclasses. Can we ever forget Denise Snowman's slip- pery walk on worms Cmacaronilg Carolyn Morey's hula-hula dance, or the lively boxing match between Archie Pickering and Bruce Haskell. Our officers this year were Charles Poitras, Duane Gray, Lucy Small, and Gloria Barbour, president, vice- president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. In September, 1947, we returned as sophomores. Mrs. Margaret Eaton replaced Miss Maud Thayer and Mr. George Adamian became junior high teacher. This year, we gave the Freshman Reception at the Morey e farm. This included the initiation and a picnic. Raymond Poitras and Carolyn Morey left this year but Teresa Waterman joined us from Spring- field, Vermont. We elected the following officers: president, Bruce Haskellg vice-presi- dent, Lucy Smallg secretary, Charles Poitrasg and Teresa Waterman, treasurer. One of our classmates, Brooksie Thompson, was honored by winning first prize in the State High School Poetry Contest with her poem In Starlight . Back again for our junior year we were twelve in number with Brooksie Thompson, Duane Gray, and Elmer Spofford not returning. Mrs. Char- lene Johnson joined th-e faculty this year as head of the commercial de- partment. Mr. Frederick Sutherland became junior high instructor and coach of boys' athletics. At the annual fair, we won first prize for having the best deco1'ated booth. The name of the booth was, Ye Olde Bake Shoppe , which was decorated in American Beauty rose and white. On March 7, 1949, Town Meeting Day, we presented the play The Mid- li night Son , which was directed by Mrs. Margaret Eaton. On May 5, 1949, we held a Junior Prom at the Town Hall. This was the first junior prom to be held at Deer Isle High School for a number of years. Many hours were spent making th-e decora- tions-palm trees, parrots, giraffes, Howers, elephants-but the jungle ef- fect that was created was well- worth our work. Mrs. Eaton, our ad- viser, gave us many helpful sug- gestions. September 14, 1949, we entered the doors of D. I. H. S. for our last year. Teresa Waterman transferred to Whitefield, New Hampshire. Mr. Eldridge Elkhorn replaced Mr. Frederick Sutherland as junior high instructor, and Miss Joyce Webster became our music supervisor. Again, we won first prize for our booth at the fourth annual fair. Our next achievement was the presenta- tion of our senior play Aunty's Big Joke , which was directed by Mrs. Charlene Johnson. We are now looking forward to graduation, but our four years at Deer Isle High School will always be in our memories. Lucy Small, '50 'GLORIA MORRELL HARBOUR uGl0yl Born at Glen Cove, L.

It is not an easy job to do all the drawings for the yearbook, and not every- body can win a national award in bookkeeping. Gloria is also a valuable member of the girls' athletic squad. We don't know what her plans are for the future, but she seems quite interested in Stonington now. Whatever you do Gloria, we know you will succeed.

Bruce's ability as a basketball guard together with his business ability as manager of the yearbook has made him a valuable asset to our class. It is most convenient to have him in Latin and in Algebra class to solve those stump- ers . We will all remember his fine performances in our class plays. These past four years have proved to us that whatever you do in the future. Bruce, will be a success. NORMAN ELLIS HASKELL Norm Born at Deer Isle Maine, August 31, 1931.

Wilbur seems to be the quietest member of our class. His skill as a practical scientist has been of great value to us. Someone tells us that he also has interests at White- field, New Hampshire. We are not sure just what his plans for the future are, but whatever they may be, we know his faithfulness and determination will bring him success. ARCHIE WINTERS PICKERING, JR.

Whatever it is, the class of '50 wishes you the very best of luck. irffrn Editorially Speaking HOW DO YOU SPEND YOUR LEISURE TIME? Young people today are growing up in an age when life seems to be moving at a very rapid pace. Often, in fact every day, we hear the re- mark, I haven't the time! , when one person asks another to join him in some activity. Leisure time, there- fore, is at a premium: and yet there isn't one of us who doesn't use some part of his time for activities other than work. This means then that we must try to use such free time as we have to the best advantage. How are we to do this? How do we know what leisure activities are going to prove most satisfying and at the same time most valuable? It seems to me that here is where our school provides a wealth of opportunity for finding our own personal answers to these ques- tions. To begin with, there are some school subjects which open up new interests for many of .us. Typing, for instance, may be used for per- sonal correspondence, for which it is much faster than handwriting. Typing can be used in preparing special reports, and in keeping notes and records of club or civic work. Chemistry is another school sub- ject which offers an interesting ex- perience to many students. While you may not choose the chemical field for your life work, you might spend many hours in instructive and profitable experimentation. .cZIuf'lPI'Il The study of English has led some people to take up writing as a hobby. Geography and history provide a wealth of background material for stamp-collecting. Besides school subjects, we have many extra-curricular activities which afford fine opportunities for learning to use leisure time. Active sports are available at every season of the school year and to every person interested. Spring and fall, there are baseball for boys and softball for girls. In addition, tennis and golf have been started, thanks to the cooperation of the Country Club in allowing us to use their golf course and tennis court. Through the winter season, there is basketball. Usually two three-act plays are presented -each year by our students. These offer dramatic -training for all who take part, anw often lead stu- dents to a life-long interest in dra- matics. In line with this, a limited number of students, last year, were given the chance to go to the Uni- versity of Maine to witness a per- formance by the Maine Masque of Shakespeare's MacBeth. The trip proved so enjoyable that this year a busload of students was taken to Orono to see Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. The enthusiasm shown by those who went was ample proof that the merits of the play were well appreciated. Many stu- dents by this trip were given an op- portunity to see a play by one of the world's greatest playwrights. There is no doubt that these students will welcome any future contact with dramatics. It is a fact that the desire for new experience plays a large part in the process of our development. Some- thing interesting to do in our spare time is practically a necessity. What better way can we find for choosing a leisure time recreation than by trying out for ourselves a great variety of activities? What better place to find these activities than in our school, where opportunities exist for taking part in sports, music, dra- matics, even interesting studies. Many of these interests will be carried on into our grown-up life. From our spare time activities now will com-e our life-long habits of us- ing our leisure time, either to the least advantage or to the best. Norma Greenlaw, '51 Lorraine Poitras, '51 POST GRADUATE COURSE A post graduate course has many advantages. Much can be gained and little can be lost from such a course. Students who, during their four years of high school, were unable to take every subject that appealed to them are able to satisfy their yearn- ing. To some people, shorthafnd may be intriguing, to others, Latin may seem desirous, to still another per- son, trigonometry may seem interest- ing. Here is an opportunity to learn about that subject which appeals most. This course is available not only to recent graduates, but also to those who graduated quite some time ago. The course is especially beneficial to the latter, since new subjects have been added and improvements have been made with which they are not acquainted. The re-establishment of the commercial course has proved to be of much interest and appeal. Moreover, students who suddenly are presented with an opportunity to go to college can take advantage of the chance to review their subjects or make up needed credits. The post graduate course offers not only scholastic advantages but also numerous outside activities. For those who are interested in music, there is the chorus. In addition to this, a cheerleading section recently has been organized. Furthermore, the library, which has a wide selec- tion of fiction and non-fiction books, is available for .us-e. Now is the time to read those books that have been neglected in the past. Although participation in ath- letics where leagues are concerned is not permitted, nevertheless there are tennis, golf, and badminton at one's disposal. A post graduate course 'has much to offer indeed, not only along the educational line, but also along oul- tural and social lines. Clara Howard PPlI IS PHYSICAL EXERCISE THE CHIEF VALUE OF SPORTS? One's first thought in answer to this question may well be that phy- sical exercise is the chief value of sports. And yet, on second thought, anyone will recall that physical and mental activity are closely linked. is not helpful at Physical strength Physical exercise all if used alone. and speed can be of littl-e use unless how that strength the brain directs and speed can bring the desired re- sults. In practicing for all forms of active sports, many exercises are performed with th-e idea of strength- ening the entire body and building up general good health. The more advanced forms of exercise are aimed at training special muscles to carry on the line of defense or attack which the player wishes to make. However, these motions themselves are of little value unless directed by a brain which can think quickly, make decisions, and s-ee at once the best way of carrying out these de- cisions. Here is where split-second judgment can mean the difference between gaining or losing a point. The type of response involved could hardly be called physical alone, since so much mental skill is used. Following another line of thought, it can be seen easily that sports play a large part in character building. S4 - lXfl'PIl The lessons in sportsmanship-that ability to be a good loser--are valu- able in our experiences in later life. Many everyday activities which are far removed from sports call for good sportsmanship and self control. The many hours of practice, the necessity of giving up some other forms of recreation in order to take part in group sports such as basket- ball and softball, learning to co- operate with your teammates-all these provide valuable training for meeting the problems of adult life. Social values, too, may be found in athletics. By participating in sports, you are given the chance to make a variety of social contacts you might otherwise miss. Going on trips with the teams, meeting boys and girls from other towns, entertaining them in turn in your own town, all give you a chance to make new friends and develop socially. This is something you will be doing all your lif-eg what better place to start than in schoolday sports? All things considered, physical exercise is only one of the many values to be found in sports. Mental training, character, and social de- velopment sefem to play a large part too.

The classes were divided into two sections, junior high and senior high. Classes are held for two periods on Tuesday and Wednes- day. There are twenty-two students in the senior chorus of whom nine are sopranos, eight altos, and five tenors. There are twenty-eight in the junior chorus. Choral singing and square dancing are being carried on in hopes of presenting a musical show this spring. ' The first public appearance of the senior chorus was at the senior play on November 10. The girls wore white blouses and black skirts, which were chosen as the costumes to be worn at public performances. We sang Goin' Home by Dvorak and The Thanksgiving Hymn , a Dutch folk tune. The second performance of the chorus was a Christmas pageant on December 15th at the Church-on-the- Hill. Mrs. Maynard Scott was organ- ist and Mr. Elkhorn served as nar- rator. The chorus marched into the candle-lighted church singing Oh Come All Ye Faithful . The first tableau was presented be- fore a pine covered background as While Joseph Went A-walking was sung. This was the familiar manger scene with Mary, Joseph, and the Baby Jesus. The next tableau was the shepherds on the hillsid-e during jwfllfynuf which the chorus sang While Shep- herds Watched Their Flocks . The Shepherd's Carol, The First Noel, We Three Kings, and Silent Night were also among the carols that were sung as the pageant progressed. Community carol singing concluded the program. The excellent handling of the spe- cial lighting effects by Robert Snell- ing added much to the pageant's suc- cess. Although the junior chorus did not participate in this activity, many of them took part in the tableaus as angels, shepherds, and kings. The angels were Joan Haskell, Sylvia Howard, Rosalyn Haskell, Patty Spofford, Inez Billings, and Pauline Knight. The shepherds were Edwin Eaton, Philip Hall, and Raymond Gross. Kings were Harry Davis, Norman Haskell, and Chandler Bar- bour. Betty Powers was Mary and Murray Barbour, Joseph. Our third activity was at the Order of the Eastern Star Installation on January 28th. We performed the beautiful My Taskf', a Star favorite, and Bendemeer's Stream , an Irish folk tune, which was sung accapella. We are now working on several pieces including Sylvia , Passing By , by Edward Purcell, and the pop- ular Way Back Home . We are in hopes to perform at graduation and other public gatherings before the school year closes. SENIOR HIGH CHORUS First row, left to right: W. Haskell, B. Joyce, L. Poitras, B.

The boys are led by Mr. Elkhorn, while lVIr. Matheson is ad- vising the girls. The boys chose Charles Poitras as presidentg Wilfred Weed, vice-presi- dent, Jerauld Hutchinson, secretary, and Bruce Haskell, t 1' e a s u 1' e 1' . Vaughan Joyce, Archie Pickering, and Richard Knowlton were chosen to assist the otlicers in drawing up a constitution. The A. A. received its funds from the annual fair, scheduled athletic events, and the popular Curtis Maga- zine drive. We were also Very fortu- nate i11 receiving a generous donation lf,-Aix of S539 from the local basketball team. New basketball uniforms were pur- chased for the current season. These were the new T-shirt type uniform which are becoming very popular throughout the state. Much equip- ment was also purchased in order that such sports as badminton, ping pong, golf, and volleyball could be promoted. The athletic association also made it possible for the school to carry on Junior High School athletics. Three Junior High basketball games were played. One with Stonington and two with Blue Hill. They showed that it was a good promotion, defeat- ing Stonington 32-28, while losing to Blue Hill by the scores of 48-44 and 44-42. Girllsg Athletic Association This year the Athletic Association was separated into two associations, boys' and girls', with each one having its own ofiicers, money, and rules. The officers are as follows: president, Lucy Small, vice-president, Beverly Eatong secretary, Norma Greenlawg and treasurer, Denise Snowman. The policy of the girls' athletic as- sociation is to provide team sports and individual sports for the girls of Deer Isle High School. Three girls have been elected to serve on a constitutional committee. They are: Gloria Barbour, Lorraine Poitras, and Bernadette Joyce. The association decided that the girls should play only one game a week in basketball, with a few -excep- tions, since Tuesday night games seemed to prove detrimental to the girls. This year the girls have bought eighteen new basketball suits. Through the generosity and co- operation of the Island Country Club, the girls have been able to enjoy both tennis and golf. Tennis equipment, consisting of four tennis rackets and six balls, as well as golf equipment, has been purchased. Many of the girls received instructions in golf from Max McKinnon, when they journeyed to Castine last fall. In addition to softball, basketball, tennis, and golf, badminton has played a part in the athletic interests of the girls. It is hoped that a girls' league will eventually be formed.

Wilfred Weed and Archie Pickering had charge of getting the tree which was decorated by juniors under the sup- ervision of Mrs. Charlene Johnson. Betty Powers began the program by reading an article about the au- thor of The Night Before Christ- mas , Norma Greenlaw then read The Night Before Christmas . Next, Karlotta Beach read and im- personated Miss Prim Goes Christ- mas Shopping . A few minutes later, Santa Claus arrived to distribute the gifts among us. Mrs. Santa Claus helped him with the gifts. Refreshments, which consisted of cookies, cake, ice cream, and candy, were served by the juniors. Group singing ended the party. FRESHMEN RECEPTION The sophomores held the reception this year at the Morey farm on Octo- ber 4, 1949. The arrival of Murray Barbour with a riding horse provided much amusement, especially when Mr. Elk- horn tried his ability at hors-aback riding. A softball game was played with Mr. Elkhorn acting as umpire. Refreshments consisting of hot dogs and rolls, marshmallows, cup cakes, brownies, and cold drinks were served. Jiffy-Aur FIRST AID CLASS A first aid class was added to the curriculum this year under the sup- ervision of Dr. Harry Kopfmann. Approximately thirty students are now taking the course. We are re- ceiving instruction about various types of bandages, the care of minor accidents, as well as a general knowl- edge of first aid. At the completion of the course we will receive our first aid certificates as well as one-fourth credit on our academic record. JUNIOR PROM The Junior Prom was held last year on May 5, 1949, at the Town Hall. The juniors were under the direction of Mrs. Margaret Eaton. Special dance programs were bought for this occasion. Th-ese in- cluded several different itemsg name- ly, faculty members, members of the junior class and its officers, class colors, date of prom, and a section devoted to autographs. The hall was decorated gaily as a jungle scene where brilliantly plumed parrots and agile monkeys swung from vines and foliage: grin- ning cannibals peered from behind waving palms, and an occasional plump, gray elephant appeared a- mong thfe exotic Howers. Palm trees were used to decorate the booth at the back of the 1'oom where refresh- ments were sold. Cookson s orchestra furnished the music which was en- joyed by all who attended.

Basketball 9419 2 ,Sill For the fourth straight year, bas- ketball practice began with a new coach. Eldridge Elkhorn, from Jonesboro, Maine took over the coach- ing job vacated by Fred Sutherland. With only two veterans, Charles Poitras and Bruce Haskell, back from the preceding year, Mr. Elkhorn had the tremendous job of finding men capable ol' filling the open positions. The s-eason's record was three wins, one tie, and ten losses. This is not too bad when you consider the fact that the team as a whole was very green and not experienced. This experience can only be gained by participating in games. The three victories came as a re- sult oi' one win over the Alumni, and two over Islesboro. Deer Isle tied Castine 52-52. The tie came as a re- sult of' an error by the Deer Isle scorer. After losing to Penobscot and Brooklin at Deer Isle, we again took on Penobscot at Penobscot. This time we were out to square matters. but Penobscot was even more deter- mined and was able to pull out a 49-46 victory. Poitras was high in- dividual scorer with a total of 30 points. One of the better games played during the early season was with Islesboro. A total of seven players fouled out in the contest, with Deer Isle coming out on top 51-35. Poitras and Hutchinson were high scorers for the evening with 19 points each. Deer Isle lost four in a row bef-ore knocking off Islesboro for the second time by a 39-37 score. The game was a thriller right down to the wire, the kind that gives coaches ulcers. Deer Isle led 17-7 at the -end of the first quaretr, 23-17 at the half, 33-28 end of the third period, and held -on to win 39-37. The score was knotted at 37 all, when with 30 seconds to go, Haskell and Hall flipped in foul tries to give D-eer Isle a two point margin. Islesboro attempted to tie it up with two foul tries, but both were unsuc- cessful. After a full Week of practice the tournament was next. Deer Isle was matched against their old rivals. Stonington. The game was a crowd pleaser, apparently the best game of the evening. Deer Isle led at the end of the first period 8-5. Stonington tied it up and went ahead at half- time 22-14, and led 30-26 at the end of the third period. Seven points down, with less than 3 minutes to go, Deer Isle put on a terrific drive to forge ahead, 37-36. The lead was short lived as Stonington came back with a brilliant shot from mid-court. Four unsuccessful foul tries in the last few seconds failed to tie the game for Deer Isle. Jerauld Hutchinson was high scorer with 16 points.

Beverly and Nor- ma were the only first team players left from last year, but they were joined at the beginning of the sea- son by a large group who wanted to learn the game. These green players, after a few practices, developed into a good supporting section for the for- wards. Charlotte Weed and Janet Eaton proved themselves as capable guards. They were especially adept at getting rebounds and intercepting passes. Lorraine Poitras took over a forward position left vacant by Lucy Small. Early in the season, Lorraine was injured, making it necessary to change Janet from guard to forward. Joan Howard was unable to play the first of the season but joined us after Christmas. ' Though we lost a few of the early sources, these games gave us some much needed experience and helped us to work together as a team. The new players joined their courage with skill and soon forgot their earlier fears in the thrill of playing the game. One of the high points of the sea- son was the playing of a third game with Sullivan girls. The two regular- ly scheduled games had given ,us a victory here and the Sullivan girls a victory on their home floor. Ordi- narily, no third games would have been played. However, the Sullivan boys were returning to Deer Isle for a replay of their first game which had been interrupted by power failure, so we invited the Sullivan girls for a play-off. The game was a fast and exciting one, ending in a sc-ore of 68 for Deer Isle and 52 for Sullivan. Beverly was the star of the gameg scoring 49 points. Our best effort of the year was ap- parent in the game with Ellsworth. Joan was very capable in holding Ellsworth's star forward from scor- ing too many points. All the guards were extremely helpful in getting the ball to the forwards. By making sev- eral excellent passes, Norma was able to feed the ball to Beverly to score 34 points. We won, 44-39. Beverly Eaton's average points per game were 28. The first team con- sisted of Janet Eaton and Beverly Eaton as forwardsg Norma Green- law, centerg and Joan, Gloria, and Charlotte, guards. Letters were awarded to these six players along with the managers Lorraine and Bernadette. Numerals were won by Regina, Rhea, and Barbara.

Baseball Due to the unusually good weather, wc were able to start practice for our spring season early. The line-up was: catcher, Charles Barbour, pitchers, James Milan, Ben Pickering, and Jerauld Hutchinsong first base, Bruce Haskell, second base Wilfred Weed, shortstop, Jerauld Hutchin- song third base, Wilfred Conary and Ben Pickering, outfielders, Frank Pickering, Charles Poitras, James Milan, Archie Pickering, and Frank- lin Haskell. The managerial position was sufficiently handl-ed by Chandler Barbour. Eight games were played, with Deer Isle winning one and tying one. .jH',l ll4'1I Because Islesboro had to make ferry connections, the game ended in a tie. Teams played were Brooklin, Vinal Haven, Blue Hill, and Islesboro. The Deer Isle-Islesboro double-header was played at Castine. We opened our fall season .under the direction of our new coach, Mr. Elkhorn. We were minus five men via graduation. They were Ben and Frank Pickering. James Milan, Wil- fred Conary, and Charles Barbour. Several Junior High players and Robert Snelling. who had transferred from Lee Academy, assisted us win the two games played. Both games were with Castine. The scores were 19-6 and 23-6. Softball The softball season of '49 was an- other very successful season. After three years of experience the girls have produced a powerful team. The first Brooklin game was pitched by Beverly Eaton. It was a perfect game, no hit, no run, and no- body reaching first base. On May 28, our girls entertained the Ellsworth girls which proved to be the most thrilling game of the year. The day's events began when they arrived at the field around 10 :30 A. M. Following practice, the team took the held with the lineup as fol- lows: Charlotte Weed, catcher, Bev- erly Eaton, pitcherg Denise Snow- man, first base, Clara Howard, sec- ond baseg Cornelia Billings, third base: Sylvia Eaton, shortstop, Wini- fred Haskell, leftfield: Christine Dun- ham, centerfieldg and Joan Howard, rightfield. Careful handling of the ball throughout the game, as well as home runs by Sylvia, Joan, and Beverly all helped us to win the game by a score of 11-7. After the game both teams had a picnic lunch by the seashore. In the fall one game was played with the Castine girls. The girls softball team still holds the honor of being undefeated. Letters were awarded to the fol- lowing: Sylvia Eaton, Clara How- ard, Cornelia Billings, Christine Dun- ham, Joan Howard, Denise Snow- man, Beverly Eaton, Janet Eaton, Winifred Haskell, and Charlotte Weed.

The lowest score over the course was 54, which was made by Beverly Eaton. jlflfl 'INN' A trip was taken to the Castine Golf Club, where under the instruc- tion of Max MacKinnon, a golfer of Castine, the girls received many pointers. They were very fortunate to have this opportunity. Those who participated in playing golf were: Gloria Barbour, Beverly Eaton, Betty Powers, Janet Eaton, Virginia Billings, Barbara Perez, and Inez Billings. 1949 BASEBALL SCORES Deei Deer Deer Deer Deer Deer Deer Deer De-er Deer Isle Isle Isle Isle Isle Isle Isle Isle Isle Isle Spring Brooklin Vinal Haven Bluehill Brooklin Bluehill Vinal Haven Islesboro Islesboro Fall Castine Castine ii'--fu SN B F' s-., Q.. 54.
