Joan Howard has donated a braided rug to 'the club, and we have been selling tickets on it at the various entertainments. The pro- ceeds will be used for payments on our mimeograph. At the annual school fair, we sponsored our first booth, which allowed dart throwing, and the selling of tickets on a cake, The activity netted us S38.75. The club is planning a card party to be held March 17, at the Library. Canasta, Bridge, and Sixty-'three will be played. CLUB authors in the world, Blandings' Way, a con- tinuation of Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, by Eric Hodgins, The Wall, a novel revealing the full stature of a man in the face of catastrophe, by John Hersey, and I Dare You, by William H. Danforth. We had two tables at the fair, one having aprons and fir pillows for sale, and the other, parcel post packages. Tickets were sold on a beautiful bride doll, dressed by Mrs. Nor- man Greenlaw. The helpful cooperation of Mrs. Greenlaw has made it possible for us to have these bride dolls each year. Thirty-five dollars and forty cents was cleared from the Library tables, and this profit is being spent to improve our library by allowing a wider variety of books and magazines.

20 THE GATHERER BOYS AND GIRLS A. A. The athletic program at Deer Isle High School is once again under the direction of a single Athletic Association. The students grouped their talent and chose to form as one organization. Mr. Elkhorn, who coached both girls' and boys' basketball, advised this group. With much equipment being left from last year, namely: baseballs, bats, basketball uniforms, and balls, there was not a need for major pieces of equipment this year. This year, many projects have been suc- cessfully completed. Mr. Elkhorn, who stresses and thoroughly believes that junior high athletics are of the utmost importance, if future high school teams are to prosper, scheduled a series of baseball and basketball games with Stoning- ton for his younger group. Five baseball games were played in the fall. Deer Isle won three of the five games. Seven basketball games were played. Deer Isle won five of them and tied one. We believe that the per- formances of our younger athletes have been a credit to their school. Free tickets to the tournament were fur- nished to the girls' team, cheerleaders, and a number of other students who had partici- pated in certain activities. Labor was furnished by the boys to spread gravel on the athletic field. Monograms will be purchased for partici- pants in boys' and girls' varsity athletics. The A. A. was also able to help the Alumni Association raise money, by sponsoring local basketball games. Approximately S100 was realized from this activity. The A. A. gets its money from the maga- zine drive. school fair, and public athletic. performances. The officers elected for the 1950-1951, school year were Jerauld Hutchinson, Presi- dent, Beverly Eaton, Vice-Presidentg Janet Eaton, Treasurer, and Norma Gray. Secre- tarv. The A. A. members and their advisor, Mr. Elkhorn, would like to thank the members of the school committee for making possible the free use of the school buses for trips, the public for the free use of the Town Hullg an-l everyone for their patronage and support at all activities.
