Bowdoin College University of Maine Douglas P. Blanchard Commercial Teacher Training Course Husson College SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1947 fourteen anxious but timid eighth graders entered the doors of Deer Isle High School for the first time. We were greeted by our new teachers, Mr. and Mrs. Matheson, Mrs. Eaton, and Mr. Adamian. Miss Marian Jacques joined us during the year as our part-time music teacher. At the end of our first year we had lost three of our classmates, Virgil Eaton, Lin- don Eaton, and Ernestine Parker, which brought our number down to eleven. When the freshman year started, the sophomore class honored us with a reception at the Parish House. This year Mr. Adam- ian did not return with us. His vacancy was filled by Mr. Frederick Sutherland. Mrs. Charlene Johnson became the teacher of the new commercial courses. Wendall Eaton left during the fall. Eight of us returned for the Sophomore year. Neville Eaton and Gillian Waterman did not return. Our new teachers were Mr. Eldridge Elkhorn, who replaced Mr. Sutherland, and Joyce Webster our part time music supervisor. A reception for the new freshman class under our supervision was our first social event. At the annual fair, our class booth was given third prize. As Juniors our class number was now only seven as Winifred Haskell did not re- turn with us. However, James Brewster joined us during the year, again making us eight in number. This year Miss Alice Plevock replaced Miss Webster. She be- came our full time music instructor. Returning as Seniors, we found that many new improvements had been made. The laboratory and Mrs. Eaton's room had been newly renovated. The former subprimary room was made into a high school class- room, and the commercial room is located in the Masonic Building, where the gram- mar school was last year. Mr. Elkhorn, our last year's advisor, didn't return this year, having gone off to serve our country as a soldier. Ebby's position as coach and Junior High Teacher was taken by Roger Davis, who also proved to be a very efficient coach and teacher. The other new teacher was Douglas Blanchard who replaced Charlene Johnson as commer- cial teacher. Mr. Blanchard was our ad- visor on the year book. This brings us up to date. The history of our Senior year is in this book, and it is the final chapter of the eight of us as a class NAMES Murray Barbour Hubert Billings james Brewster Roger Davis Janet Eaton jerry Hutchinson Bernadette Joyce Bcrncrd Spofford Senior Class Mirror EXPRESSION SPORTS AMBITION PET PEEVE NICKNAME FAULTS Hey Basketball President of Lessons Murray Too Tall United States G.O.P.

Plans for the Gatherer were started early this year, and this edition went to press on March 24. The basketball season started with Jess, Murray, Jimmy and Janet par- ticipating. The Senior Class with the aid of the Juniors presented Beginner's Luck, on Town Meeting night. This was a three act comedy, enjoyed by all. Bunny was the school check endorser this year, a position left vacant by the graduation of Norma Gray. I don't think you'd have recognized Jess or Jim the night of the minstrel show, but Janet, on the other hand, was just as cute as ever. We all took part in prepar- ing and carrying out our final and most im- portant undertaking of the year, our grad- uation in June. Class of 1952 President James Brewster Vice President Jerauld Hutchinson Secretary Janet Eaton Treasurer Roger Davis Class Colors: Blue and Gold Class Advisor: Mr. Matheson JUNIOR GLASS The Junior Class started the new school year with seven members, Joyce Whitney be- ing the only one that had not returned with the class. Later in the year Philip Hall and George Haskell left, leaving us with only five, four girls and one boy. The Junior booth won second prize at the annual school fair. We sold white ele- phants, funny books, kerchiefs and school memory books. Virginia Billings, Rhea Conary, and Sonny Greenlaw were chosen by the Seniors to assist with the year book, and Regina Billings and Barbara Perez also helped. All the Juniors took part in the Minstrel Show in January, with Regina Billings act- ing as Master of Ceremonies. Sonny Green- law and Virginia Billings were endmen in the same production.

Mr. Blanchard be- came our class adviser. On September 28 we were hosts at the annual freshman reception which was held at the Morey Farm. The freshmen per- formed some very amusing stunts after which refreshments were served with the freshmen as guests of honor. Our booth won honorable mention at the annual school fair in October. Decorated mainly in blue and white, it resembled an ocean scene complete with ships, gulls, and buoys, Class of 1954 President Carol Woodman Vice President Raymond Haskell Secretary Joan Haskell Treasurer Robert Haskell Class Adviser Mr. Blanchard Class Colors Rose and Silver FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY On September 6, 1951, sixteen freshmen enrolled at Deer Isle High School. One of our members, Arlene Weed, left us just be- fore Christmas. We soon found out that the freshman reception was nothing to be afraid of. Mr. Blanchard and the Sophomores were very easy on us. We performed our stunts at the Morey Farm where a picnic was enjoyed by all. We are proud of our record in athletics. Nine of our fifteen members are out for basketball or some other sport this year. Our class sold vegetables and canned goods at the annual school fair. Under the supervision of Mr. Davis we made S47 and won first prize on our booth. As a class project we sanded the railing of the new stairs. We hope to accomplish much before we become Seniors. Class of 1955 President Pearl Eaton Vice President Vaughn.

There are many Junior High students participating in basketball, baseball, and softball. They also proved very good sales- men in the annual Magazine Drive with Barbara Eaton, an eighth grader, high sales- man for the school. Altogether the Junior High made S4-1.89. There were many Junior High students in the Minstrel Show, given under the direc- tion of Miss Plevock. Some of them who did specialties were: Janet Snowden, Wiley Billings, Willard Knight, Barbara Eaton, Beatrice Pickering, Nancy Colwell, Mary Hardy, and Robert Smith. t In February, the one act play 6'Did You Say Mink? was presented by the junior High girls, under the direction of Mr. Matheson, who also supervised redecorating the stage sets. The cast of the play was as follows: Mrs. Martin Barbara Eaton Mrs. Willoughby Janet Snowden Ruth Doyle Eleanor Parker Bessie Potts Essie Potts Mrs. Chandler Azalea Matilda Brown Lorraine May Eliza Small Laura Bray Marilyn Damon June Perez Edna Eaton Jean Parker Winifred Wiggins Beatrice Pickering Mrs. Shelley Mortimer Nancy Colwell These two classes are hoping to have trip to New York in the spring.

We subscribed to the following maga- zines: LIFE, SATURDAY EVENING POST, SEVENTEEN, BOY'S LIFE, POP- ULAR MECHANICS, NATIONS GEO- GRAPHIC, and the CHRISTIAN SCI- ENCE MONITOR. Some of the books which have been add- ed to our library are: Our Fighting Jets, How To Take Care of Your Car , Sat- urdays Heroes , The Caine Mutiny , Re- member the Valley and Two's Com- pany. We raised some money by taking orders for books at the school fair. At present we are selling candy at the home basketball games. The profits will be split with the Athletic Association. MUSIC The Music Program in the Deer Isle ju- nior and Senior High School has changed a great deal from that of the previous year. Miss Alice M. Plevock again joined us as Directoig Those taking music were divided into four groups, Junior and Senior High School Choruses, Girl's Glee Club and Boy's Glee Club. The junior and Senior High Chorus each met twice a week with an ex- tra day set aside for a combined choral sing. The Boys and Girls Glee Club each met once a week. The Junior and Senior High Chorus combined made a total of sixty seven mem- bers, of which fourteen were first sopranos, fourteen were second sopranos, fifteen were altos, nine were tenors, and fourteen were basses. The Girls' Glee Club consisted of forty three members and the Boys' Glee Club of twenty members. The first public performance was a Min- strel Show under the direction of Miss Plevock on January 14. This was presented by both choruses and glee clubs combined. The second performance was that of a selected choral group consisting of Regina Billings, Virginia Billings, Barbara Eaton. Joan Haskell, Barbara and June Perez, Bea- trice Pickering, Priscilla Powers, Eliza Small, Mary Smith, Janet Snowden, Patty Spofford, Wiley Billings, James Brewster, Charlie Dodge, Norwood Greenlaw, Randall Haskell, Jerauld Hutchinson and Burton Weed. Virginia Billings was accompanist. This group performed at the Order of Eastern Star Installation on February 2. On this occasion they sang Bless This House and Now The Day is Over. Barbara Eaton and Pearl Eaton were well applauded for their rendition of Make Believe. Some of the songs learned by the chor- uses and Glee clubs were 5 Grandfathers Clock, The Stars Are Shining in Heaven, Stouthearted Men, Watchmen Tell Us of The Night, Yankee Doodle Fantasy, School Days QFuniculi, Funiculaj, and Ole' Man River, plus the songs and background music learned for the Minstrel Show. Both Choruses and Glee Clubs have im- proved considerably since last year. The third performance, planned for April, is the Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta The Mikado . The cast for this is as follows: James Brewster Nanki-Poo Nancy Colwell Yum-Yum Jerauld Hutchinson Ko-Ko Norwood Greenlaw Lord High Everything Else Pearl Eaton Pish-Tush Robert Smith The Mikado Carol Woodman Pitti-Sing Mary Hardy Peep-Bo Barbara Perez Katisha Frederick Brewster The Noble LIBRARY CLUB First row. lm-ft to right: R.

Aside from the Choral program there are two groups of theory classes for the benefit of the Seventh and Eighth grades. In the Group A Theory the students not only learn elementary theory but also have History of Music and Appreciation. Group B Theory is a more advanced class. Here the students study Fundamentals of Har- mony, Music Analysis, plus History and Music Appreciation. The Orchestra Ensemble under the su- pervision of Miss Plevock is progressing quite rapidly. Four periods a week are available for instruction, as well as after school time. Those receiving lessons are as follows: Jerauld Hutchinson, Janet Eaton and Bur- ton Weed, Saxaphoneg Barbara Eaton, vio- lin, Mary Hardy, Clarinet, and Murray Barbour, Cornet. SAFETY PATROL Early this year Trooper Carson, of the State Police, visited school and showed sev- eral movies on highway safety and conduct. He also organized a safety patrol. With the aid of the teachers,I ten students, two from each district, were selected to be patrolmen of these patrol- the bus and to of the bus. The purpose men is to keep order on help the children safely off and on the bus and across the street. They are Edna Eaton and Jerauld Hutchinson from Little Deer Isle, Bernadette and Vaughn Joyce from North Deer Isle, Pauline Knight and. Robert Poitras from South Deer Isle, Rhea Conary and Raymond Gross from Sunshine, and Janet Snowden and Virginia Billings from Sunset. Robert Poitras and Jerauld Hutch- inson were elected co-captains. The pa- trolmen serve a term of approximately two months each. At the end of their term of service they will receive a certificate from the State Police for their aid. SENIOR PLAY The Senior class play, Beginner's Luck, was very successfully presented at the Town Hall on March 3. The Cast was as fol- lows: Hank Bullard Hubert Billings Katie Bullard Regina Billings Roger Anthony James Brewster Jeffery Montgomery Bidwell Norwood Greenlaw Laura Tyson Rhea Conary Monty Tyson Roger Davis Jason Simms Jerauld Hutchinson Hope de Dope Barbara Perez Diane Cromwell Bernadette Joyce Daphne Barnes Janet Eaton Agnes Eggleburt Virginia Billings Property Manager Murray Barbour Stage Managers Bernerd Spofford Rpger Davis Coach 3 Mrs. Margret Eaton The sum of 8142.15 was taken in at the door for the play and approximately 333 was made at the dance. The juniors profit- ed S12 by selling refreshments. FRESHMAN RECEPTION The annual Freshmen Reception was held at the Morey Farm on September 27, 1952. Under the capable direction of the sopho- mores, the Freshmen performed many amusing stunts. Polly Knight sang a love song to Austin Weed and Frank Davis very shyly asked Sylvia Howard to go to the mov- ies with him the following evening. Robert Poitras in his rabbit suit also proved very amusing. A hot dog roast and ball game followed the party. THE GATHERER MINSTREL SHOW The Junior and Senior High Choruses, under the direction of Miss Alice Plevock, very successfully presented a Minstrel Show at the Town Hall on January 14. Mrs. Martha Small was the accompanist. joan QPansyj Haskell, Virginia qPoseyj Billing, james Qlionesj Brewster, Norwood tTamboj Greenlaw, and -Ierauld CRemusl Hutchinson were the witty and ever-loving endmen. The combined choruses sang many pop- ular numbers. some of which were There,s No Business Like Show Businessf' Forever and Everf, 'gOld Man Riverf' School Days. My Grandfather's Cloekf, and Aba-Daba Honeyrnoonn: during the latter Ierry Hutchinson and Sonny Greenlaw imi- tated two monkeys yery much in love. Soloists were 'Ioan Haskell. Pearl Eaton. Janet Eaton, Norwood Greenlaw. Virginia Billings. -Ierauld Hutchinson. Regina Billings. James Brewster. Janet Snowden. and Vaughn Joyce. Duets were sung by Bar- bara Eaton and Pearl Eaton, and by Janet Eaton and James Brewster. The Serenad- ers. consisting of Regina Billings. Virginia Billings. Rhea Conary. and Barbara Pt'l'f.'7. also sang several numbers. The Pony Line, consisting of Barbara Eaton, Nancy Colwell, Mary Hardy. Bea- trice Pickering, and Annette Shepard, did very well in two numbers. Their attractive blue and white star bespangled costumes were made by Mrs. Margaret Eaton. The dances were directed by Miss Plevock. VViley Billings, Wfillard Knight, Robert Smith, Pauline Knight. and Frederick Brewster participated in skits. Pearl Eaton. Vaughn Joyce, and Burt Weed did their rendition of the Andrews Sisters, with Ran- dall Haskell as Carmen Miranda. Wiley Billings Hbrought down the house with his imitation of Donald Duck and Pearl Eaton's version of Maggie caused much amuse- ment and was well applauded. Regina Billings very capably handled the duties of Master of Ceremonies. Miss Pleyock, Mrs. Eaton, Mr. White, and Mr. Blanchard were in charge of the rnake-up. The stage and scenery were un- der the supervision of Murray Barbour, Roger Davis. Bernerd Spoflord. and Mr. Matheson. Robert Poitras and Burt VVeed were in charge of the microphone. Mi'. Blanchard made the programs and Nfurray Barbour was in charge of the curtain. 22 THE GATHERER CHRISTMAS PARTY On December 21, the Junior Class pre- sented the Christmas Day program. This year something new was tried. Instead of asking only students to furnish entertain- ment the program committee called mostly on the teachers. Mrs. Matheson read some Christmas poetry, Mr. Matheson told us a backwards story, Mrs. Eaton sang a solo, and Miss Plevock played the violin. Jimmy Brewster fumished the only student enter- tainment by singing. Norwood Greenlaw was Master of Ceremonies and Virginia Billings was accompanist. Miss Plevock led the group in the singing of carols. Then, amid much speculation, Santa Claus arrived, and with the assistance of the Junior boys, distributed the gifts. Many of these gifts and the verses with them brought many laughs. Following the tree, the Juniors served ice cream, cookies and cupcakes 5 and the teach- ers passed out candy. , FAIR The annual school fair was held at the Town Hall, October 19, 1951, with a large attendance. The booths were very attrac- tively decorated and the competition was strong. The green and white booth of the Freshmen, arranged under the capable di- rection of Mr. Davis, won the first award. The second prize went to the attractive wine and white scalloped booth of the Juniors, and the seaside booth of the Sophomores won third prize. Half of the proceeds, which were 324869, went into the general fund. The seniors, with cooked food, earned 342.565 the ju- niors, with white elephants and comic books earned 351.515 the sophomores, with home- made candy, earned 318.85 3 the freshmen, with vegetables and canned food, made 34737, the eighth grade, with an attractive and unusual diner, made 328.505 the sev- enth grade with personalized pins, earned 313.395 and the Library Club, with a book bazaar and a basketball to raffle earned 3l6.91. A dance after the play netted 327.89. MAGAZINE DRIVE Last fall the annual magazine drive be- gan September 17 and ended September 27. Jerauld Hutchinson was captain for the sen- ior high team and Mary Hardy was captain for the junior high. Janet Eaton and Ber- nadette Joyce were general managers for the drive. Barbara Eaton as high salesman won a jacket in the school colors with her name written on it, Byron Damon as second high salesman won a traveling clock enclosed in a case 5 Fredrick Brewster won a basketball g Annette Shepard, Mary Hardy, and Burt Weed won pocketbooks, Janet Snowden and Robert Smith won knives, and Geraldine Carter, Joanne Davis, Althea Gross, and Virginia Billings each won a silver dollar. The Sophomores, as the highest selling class, won the right for each member who par- ticipated to get all the ice cream he could eat at one time, at the expense of the school. The proceeds from magazine sales were' 34-73.15. The school's commission amount- ed to about 3135, of 1 which the high school Athletic Association received approximately 360, and the junior high organization re- ceived 375 approximately. Ig . I ge x 'Q M3 THLUICS 24 THE GATHERER BASEBALL The baseball season of 1951 was only a fair one for Deer Isle High School, looking at the over-all record of games won and lost. However, it was really the most successful baseball season Deer Isle has seen in years, because they won the southern division championship. In the league with Deer Isle were Brooklin and Penobscot. We defeated Brooklin easily by scores of 3-1 and 5-0, but we had to settle for a split with Penobscot. The play-off, with Penobscot, was at Blue Hill. Deer Isle came out on top by a nar- row margin of 1-0. The Penobscot pitcher only allowed one hit, which, incidentally didn't figure in the scoring. The play-off with Blue Hill for the county cup was held at Deer Isle. We weren't so fortunate this time, losing 8-1. We played two non-league games with Blue Hill. The first game at Blue Hill was well-played except for a couple of errors which let in the winning runs for Blue Hill. Blue Hill won both games, 7-4 and 22-8. Our line-up was as follows: Catcher, Vaughn Joyce, Pitchers, Jerauld Hutchin- son and George Haskell, first base, Pearl Eaton, second base, Robert Haskell, short- stop, Norwood Greenlaw, third base, Ray- mond Haskellg outfielders, James Brewster, Fred Brewster, Burt Weed, Randall Haskell, and George Haskell. We were very successful against fall com- petition, winning three out of four games. We won two from Stonington by scores of 4-1 and 6-4. We split with Sullivan win- ning 4-2 and losing 7-1.

He took the job vacated by Eldridge Elkhorn when the lat- ter was inducted into the army. Again this year we lost heavily on regular players. Willie Weed was lost by gradua- tion, and Philip Hall and George Haskell left school. On the other hand, we gained, not so much in experience but in potential ability. James, Fred, and Jerry Brewster from Hawaii joined us late last winter. They certainly added a lot of strength to both the basketball and baseball teams. This year we were in a league with Sulli- van, Stonington, and Winter Harbor. We in non- lost all of our league games, but league games with schools our size we won seven and lost one. We had an over-all record of seven won and seven lost. We began the season very well by winning the first two games with Penobscot and Brooksville by scores of 27-26 and 47-44 re- spectively. In the next two games, however, we ran out of gas, dividing with Brooklin and Cas- tine. We lost to Castine 36-26 and defeat- ed Brooklin 43-24. High scorers in the Brooklin game were, for Brooklin, Carter with 17 points and for Deer Isle, Jerry Hut- chinson with 25 points and Freddie Brew- ster with 10 points. The next two games were hard fought for by Deer Isle, but to no avail. We lost to a good Sullivan squad 50-33, mainly because two of our starting five fouled out in the last quarter. We lost to Winter Harbor 61- 52 in a close battle. High scorers were Hutchinson for Deer Isle with 28 points and Reifl' for Winter Harbor with 31 points. The next game was easily taken 36-18 over Brooksville, but the following game at Stonington found Deer Isle on the short end of a 45-33 score at the sound of the final buzzeig The second game with Penobscot was as BOYS' BASEBALL TEAM Svutvcl. lm-ft to right: B.

For Deer Isle, scoring 22 and 9 points re- spectively, high scorers were Jerry Hutchin- son and Fred Brewster. Possibly the worst played game of the season for Deer Isle was at Sullivan where we went down to defeat by a score of 45-11. The main reason for this score was the low ceiling, which was no higher than the top of the backboard. The next two games proved to be very exciting with Deer Isle dividing two over- times with Brooklin and Winter Harbor. Deer Isle won at Brooklin by a score of 33- 32. Hutchinson dunked a two-pointer in the last minute which sewed it up. The next home game proved just as exciting with Deer Isle losing to Winter Harbor 29-28. The next two games with Stonington and Castine were just as exciting as the last two. Deer Isle came from behind in the last quar- ter to upset Castine 35-33. High scorers for Deer Isle were Fred Brewster and Vaughn Joyce with 10 points each. The game with Stonington was quite as exciting as Deer Isle kept within three and four points of Stonington for most of the game. Stonington played hard in the last quarter to win finally by a score of 51-35. Freddy Brewster hit the net that night for 15 points. Deer Isle again played Castine in it's first tournament game and took a not too diffi- cult victory by 39-30. In our second tournament game, which was with the undefeated Sullivan Tigers, we were expected to be swamped. We sur- prised everyone by being out front 6-4 at the end of the first quarter. We led Sulli- van 12-4 about the middle of the second quarter but Sullivan's height began to pay off, and at half time they led us 16-14. We were never more than eight points behind the Tigers, but we didn't have enough to forge ahead again. The gun sounded with Sullivan ahead 35-27. With three regulars and two substitutes from the Sophomore class, each with one year's experience on the varsity squad, plus one senior, Deer Isle can expect a winning club next year and the following few years.

This raised our spirits and gave us high hopes for a good season. Patty Spofford fanned the flames of victory by scoring thirteen points. At the next game, however, we took a brief turn for the worse when, despite the efforts of Janet Eaton to keep our score high, the Brooksville girls edged out a five point lead and held it until the final whistle. At Castine we made a comeback which once more filled us with elation. Trailing at the end of the third quarter, we came back in a surge of glory to win the suspense- packed game by two points. The final score was 32-30. In our next two games, however, we were not so lucky. After two very determined struggles Brooklin and Sullivan both defeat- ed us by three and two points respectively. High scorer for these games was Janet Eaton with 20 and 21 points. The first game of the new year was played with Winter Harbor and much to our bitter disappointment we seemed to pick up right where we left ofi' last year. Although Janet Eaton made 20 points, the Winter Harbor team won a rather lop-sided victory. At our next game, with Brooksville, wc once more came up for air and once up- held a ten point lead. At the end of the third quarter the score was tied at 26. Neither team was eager to lose, so much de- termined struggling followed. Janet Eaton led the charge for Deer Isle with 22 points. Inspired by her, our girls spurred on toward the promised goal to win 37-27. On January 11, we came up against our long-time rival, Stonington. Much to our despair they took the lead early in the game and held us firmly down. Even the com- bined efforts of Regina Billings, Patty Spof- ford, and Sylvia Howard to pin them down, and the attempts of Janet to improve the score proved unsuccessful. High scorers were Janet Eaton of Deer Isle with 18 points and June Snow and Janet Snow of Stonington with 17 and 14- points respec- tively. During our next game, at Penobscot, we turned the tables and could easily have had a lop-sided victory. At the end of the third quarter we led 31-17 so Mr. Blanchard gave some of the guards a well-deserved chance to play as forwards and put in some of the second team. High scorers were Patty Spofford with 13 points and janet Eaton with 12 points. At our next game, with Sullivan, we lay down on the job and they walked over us by about twenty points. This was the first game in which any of our players fouled out, as Regina started the record for the season with three technicals and two per- sonals. Our next game was another exciting two- point victory. At Brooklin we took an early lead and were still leading 23-15 at the end of the third quarter. However, during the last quarter they tried hard for a comeback and were close on our heels at the final whistle. The Hnal score was 26-24. During this game Regina once more fouled out, which also added to the excitement. 28 THE GATHERER The last three games of the season proved unlucky for us. Winter Harbor and Castine both overcame us despite our desperate fight- ing. In both games our guards very suc- cessfully held them down until the last quar- ter when they broke away and pounded on to victory. The last game of the season was on Feb- ruary 1, with Stonington at Deer Isle. Nat- urally this was an important game and we were deeply disappointed when they ran over us by a quite lop-sided score. Despite the fine efforts of our guards, they could not be stopped. The score was 62-24 in favor of Stonington. Janet Eaton was high-scorer for Deer Isle with 15 points and June Snow and Janet Snow were high scorers for Ston- ington with 29 and 20 points respectively.

The members of the squad are Virginia Billings, Marilyn Damon, Beatrice Pickering, Eliza Small, and Janet Snowden. The head cheerleaders are Priscilla Powers and Regina Billings. Something new was also added this year, namely a cheerleading mascot, Kathy Weed. At the beginning of the year the girls gave a ham supper and earned about 350.00 to- ward buying uniforms. Since this was not enough for the purchase of complete uni- forms they decided to buy the jackets first and to wear black slacks with them, until they earned more money for the skirts. The jackets of the head cheerleaders are blue with white front panels and the other cheer- leaders have white jackets with blue front panels. This year Miss Plevock made up a new song for us to use on the basketball floor. This is used during the games instead of the slower School Song. It is called On- ward Deer Isle and is really a very effective cheering song. J, ,, iii I H., GIRLS' BASKETBALL rout. row: Mr. Blkll1k'l1ill'Cl. P. Knight. Eaton. R. Billings. P. Spofforcl. and S.

THE GATHERER THE NEW SCHOOL The idea of building a new school was first considered two years ago, when at town meeting a committee of nine was appointed to look into the possibilities of having a con- solidated high school with Stonington. This committee consisted of Grover Small, Dor- othy Carmen, Elwood Eaton, Alfred Col- well, Augustus Heanssler, Clark Hill, Walter Pickering, Emily Haskell, and Frank Milan. With a committee from Stonington they looked into the situation and decided not to combine with Stonington. These were the reasons for the decision. After investigation they were of the opinion that the needs of the two towns were somewhat different, since Stonington was interested in providing a sec- ondary school only, whereas Deer Isle need- ed improvement in both secondary and ele- mentary quarters. They decided that the cost of building and maintaining a consoli- dated high school would be too great. They learned also that if a consolidated school were established, Deer Isle would be ex- pected to provide about the same amount of money as Stonington for support, but would have less control, since representation on the board would be proportional to stu- dent attendance and Stonington would have about three times as many pupils. At town meeting in 1950 someone moved the building of a new grade school. The vote was carried and a committee appointed. This committee, called the School Planning Committee, consisted of Frank Milan, Walk- er Pickering, Alfred Colwell, Elwood Eaton, Dorothy Carmen, and Augustus Heanssler. They made arrangements to introduce a school district bill into the legislature and, after this was done, it was accepted at town meeting. It was necessary to introduce this bill because there is a state law which will allow a town to go only so far in debt. Our deadline was S35,000, but the School Dis- trict Bill allowed the district to go in debt for S60,000, the amount required. The town had already put aside 323,500 toward the project. This amount came from a surplus excise tax which had been accumu- lating over a period of years. It was decided to build a grade school instead of a high school because the grade schools did not have very good equipment, or much of it. The buildings were much too crowded. If a high school building had THE GATHERER 31 been built, there would not have been any money left to repair the grade schools, and a two story building is not satisfactory for elementary children. If a grade school were built, the schools on the outskirts could be brought in and that would cut the cost of running the schools some, because one less teacher would be employed. Mr. Ambrose Higgins, an architect from Bar Harbor, was engaged to draw up plans. These plans called for five classrooms and a sixth room, considerably larger than the others, to be used for a cafeteria and recrea- tion room. They also called for toilets, a principa1's office and teacher's room, and a kitchen. When bids for this building were received, the lowest was S90,167, which was higher than had been expected. There were two chances for revision of plans. First the quality of the materials to be used could be cut, and, second, the size of the building. The latter alternative was impossible because the one planned was the smallest size possible that would still do the job. The committee talked the problem over with the architect. As a result, by re- arranging some of the facilities and chang- ing some of the specifications, they produced plans for a building that could be built for about 380,000 After adding to this sum about 81,000 for seats, well, and land, 32,- 000 for the first year's insurance, 1951 inter- est, and costs of other expenses, the total needed was about 393,000 An alternative proposal to build a four room building which could be added to was considered. If this were done, the cafeteria would be in the chapel, there would be no recreation room, and some classes would be held in the old rooms down by the high school. A special town meeting was held to ask for enough money to carry out the original plan. An appropriation of more money was turned down. The committee met and decided, never- theless, to start the building. Mr. Emmons L. Shea of Ellsworth was hired for the actual construction, and Mr. Allston Wheelden of Stonington was hired for the wiring, heat- ing, and plumbing. They were both hired on the cost plus fixed fee basis. This means that the contractor bought the materials and paid for them himself. These bills were checked each week. After the job was done he got back what he had paid out plus eight per cent of that amount. The location of the school was chosen be- cause it was near enough to the other school to be convenient for the school lunch and because the land was already fairly clear. The well, which was drilled by Ira Christy, was almost done by the time the ground was broken on June 6. It is 136 feet deep and has a flow of three gallons per minute. After the ground was broken the work progressed rapidly, and four of the five class- rooms were ready to be occupied when school began in September. However, everything was not completed until Novem- ber 16. On this date the primary class and the cafeteria were moved up from the chapel, where they had been since school began. As work progressed the expenses were lower than they had been estimated. Some of the items tentatively eliminated were re- incorporated in the plans. Among these were ceramo shingles for sidewalls, painting and Hnishing, some of the insulation, and tack boards. The Board of Trustees elected at town meeting is made up of Frank Milan, pres- ident, Augustus Heanssler, vice-president, Clark Hill, treasurer, Alfred Colwell, secre- tary g and Elwood Eaton. Each of these men serve for a certain period of years, with one member going ofl' and a new one replacing him each year for a five year term. While 32 THE GATHERER the building was being planned, these men met often, usually having one meeting a week. Later, they were called upon for al- most daily conferences with the contractor. They very generously gave their services to the town and received no payment what- ever for it. The trustees borrowed 860,000 in bonds, on which we'll have to pay 818,905 interest. This will take twenty-three years to pay back. The amounts paid each year will average about 83430.44 with the largest amount of 84,950 coming in 1974 and the smallest of 82,997.61 coming in 1961. The school building itself cost 865,000. The non-building cost such as land, well, furniture, drive, and insurance cost a little over 814,000 With a little money that re- mained a sinking fund was set up, because in twenty-three years when the bonds are paid and the building is turned over to the town, many repairs will have to be made. The money will then be available for that purpose. The building is a great asset to the com- munity. It can be used for public gather- ings, such as school socials and P.T.A. meet- ings, as well as for school sessions. It is a school building of which the people of Deer Isle can be proud. VIRGINIA BILLINGS '53 LITERARY ERUPTION About a year and a half ago, I was in Hawaii, on one of those storied, tropical islands in the middle of the blue Pacific. It was there that I had been raised from a small bow-legged babe until I was just past sixteen. These were the islands of my child- hood days, and I had come to love them as such. Hawaii is compozecl of eight major islands, seven of which are inhabited. The largest of the group is the island of Hawaii, which is larger than all the others put together. Situated on this island, and covering a good part of it, is the Parker Ranch, one of the world's largest cattle ranches, spreading over an area of about a million square acres. Besides the Parker Ranch, the island has many smaller ranches and several sugar plantations. This was the island on which I lived for the last five years before we departed from the territory. It was on this island that I saw some beautiful and awesome sights, the like of which many men will never see. It was the evening of June the second in the year 1950. The family and some friends were sitting around in the living room mak- ing some flower leis for the local high school graduation. The radio was on, and we were listening to some beautiful Tahitian music, when suddenly the program was interrupted with the announcement that Mauna Loa on the island of Hawaii was erupting. I ran to the door, opened it, and looked to the south. Away in the distance, I saw the sky all lit up and glowing as if the sun had set in the South. Though unable to leave home that night, we started early the next morning to see something we'd remember for the rest of our lives. When we reached Kona, the southern coast of the island, we learned that two Hows had already gone the fifty miles from the crater to the sea, stopping traffic, and burn- ing several villages. We learned also that l. THE GATHERER 33 there was another flow coming down the mountainside, so we went down to one of the fishing villages situated on a piece of lava that extended into the sea. From there, we were able to get a sweeping view of the mountain and the flows. All about us was the smell of sulphur, and because of the smoke and ashes we could see only a certain distance up the volcano. Every once in a while, the ground would shake. There were constant rumblings, and through the smoke, high on the mountain, we could see flames and streams of molten rock shoot hundreds of feet into the air. After a few hours, we noticed the third flow coming down the side of the mountain. We could see the trees and jungles go up in flames as the lava came tumbling down like a river of water. We watched this How come all the way down till at last it plunged into the sea. A column of white steam went up into the black pall of smoke that was over all, shutting out the sun. For miles around where the flow hit the ocean, the water boiled and the flesh of most of the fish disintegrated, leaving nothing but skin and bones. The rest of the unlucky fish were boiled to make nice meals later for the hundreds of sharks reported in the waters at the time. As it grew darker, there came a magni- ficent display of natural fireworks. Never have I seen nature so vivid and alive with all colors imaginable. The white steam was transforined by night into a billowing column of red and orange. The volcano's smoke, black by day, became a great mass of flames and sparks, all of which were re- fiected by the sea and sky. In fact, so great the flames, and so illuminated the night, that we were to eat our supper that night by the light of the eruption, ten miles Were away. We stayed on for a. while, and as I sat there, I couldn't help thinking of my insig- nificance as compared with this great hap- pening unfolding before my very eyes. We went home to our friends and neighbors. We went home to live together as the family unit we are. It was wonderful being there to see the forces of nature in all their splendor, to look upon that great volcano belching forth its fire and ash, and to realize that I was an insignificant part of a universe in which such phenomena occur. It gave me great respect for nature. It made me realize the might- iness of God. JAMES BREWSTER '52 PRUNY FULL OF PRUNE JUICE Prunella Crabtree was not an ordinary girl of seventeen. She was always making mis- takes. We didn't mean to make fun of her, but it was hard to keep back the giggles when she would get her feet all tangled up and fall headlong into a snow bank. Every- one looked on Pruny as a curio. No one disliked her, but she didn't have many friends, either. Pruny was always getting into a mixup, in talking, walking, in every- thing she did. I'll never forget the night of the school dance. Pruny had a date with a boy just as bashful as she was. It was her first date, and she wore a green gown. She and her date tried dancing the first dance, but they only fell over each other's feet. They sat out the next one. Apparently Pruny could- n't think of anything to talk about, so she started for the powder room. Her foot got caught in her gown and tore it right across the back. There she stood, her face red and her slip showing through the sagging gown. She ran for the powder room, took her coat, and walked all the way home, alone. Things like that were always happening to her. She just couldn't seem to do any- thing right, and every time she made a mis- take, we cou1dn't help laughing. I really 34- THE GATHERER felt sorry for her, but when she would do something such as falling down the high school steps into the Physical Education teacher, not even I, could hold back the giggles. Some of us high school kids once decided on a skating party, and we invited Pruny. When she got there, we were all out on the ice. She got her skates on and started toward us. She appeared to be a. pretty good skater too. Maybe, everyone thought, maybe this is the thing that Pruny can do and do right. Suddenly she lost her balance, turned a complete circle in the air, and landed flat on her back on the ice. We all started to laugh. Pruny left the ice, and that was the last we saw of her. She quit school, we knew, to get away from our laughing faces. Some of us got courageous and went to her house to tell her we were sorry. But her parents told us she had gone away, and we soon forgot about her. About a year afterward, we heard that she was back in town. At the mention of her name many of us smiled, and said, Ha, ha, ha, Pruny full of prune juice, always making mistakes. We didn't laugh for long, though. Some of us still feel guilty. For on Friday the thirteenth, Prunella Crabtree made her last mistake. Or was it a mistake? We have no way of knowing. Rhea Conary '53 SNOW-BOUND How much do you appreciate winter sports? What do you like best about win- ter? Does winter mean a dreary season with cold, and freezing weather, or does it mean glistening beauty and young voices in the clear, sharp air? To appreciate the beauty of this season one doesn't have to be a poet or even an artist. All that is nec- essary is to wake, look out the window, and see the glistening crust from the edge of the house to the trees that mark the field and the pasture. Every twig of every branch on each tree is covered with cling- ing softness. There is a set of deep tracks to the barn where dad walked early this morning, and on either side of them are brushed places in the snow where two pails of milk rubbed the snow. Downstairs, you can smell coffee and bacon. That hog was your 4-H project last year. You remember how hard you had to work to keep him alive, how much time you spent doing things to make him the fattest in the neighbor- hood, and how proud you felt when the judge at the county fair gave him second prize. Mother is surprised when you answer her call the first time. You usually have to be called again, but this morning is different. There will be no school today. The snow last night made the roads impassable, and the snowplow won't get to these outlying districts for at least three or four days. After breakfast you go up on the hill back of the house to try your luck at skiing. The snow is soft and loose, and after a few good tumbles you decide to try your luck at sled- ding. The sled flies along, tossing swirls of cold snow down your neck, but you love it. After dinner you think you'll show your sister and brothers how to pour hot maple sirup on the snow to make maple flavored icicles. Even those smart brothers get a bang out of this, and you leave them with the ladle and warning not to eat too much, and go into the barn to get ready for the social tonight. The whole neighborhood will turn out, and your barn will be the place for the fun. Dad can play the fiddle and that tall boy down the lane can call the dances like no one else. The crowd begins to arrive around 7:00 o'clock and by 7:45 the bam is filled with dancers from around five years to fifty. The music sounds sweet in the sharpness of the .i..f.Li1i'il THE GATHERER 35 air, and the dancers make more noise tonight than the fourth of July crowd makes. As the evening wears on, mother comes out to tell you that she has a pot of taffy ready to be pulled, and at the signal to Leave To there is a dash, and the battle is on. When everyone is as covered with molasses as he can possibly get, there is a dash for the watering trough to clean up, an excuse to get each other as wet as can be. By the time you get back, the Hre in the fireplace has been built, and there are apples and chestnuts roasting there. Everyone sits down to enjoy the smell of woodsmoke and the taste of apples and chestnuts from your own trees. Someone in the group begins a story, everyone adding a little to it until the hero has done the impossible tasks and the hero- ine has been won. The youngest member of the group lisps 'Lan dey wived apply eve: after and the kids are packed off to bed. Everyone just sits and listens to the fire crackling, and you wish the evening were just starting. As the fire dies down, the older people begin getting ready to go home, while the younger ones just sit and talk. The main subject is the coming holiday. Tomorrow the Christmas cookies will have to be baked, and the fruit cakes, made last week, will be brought out of the cellar. After the subject has been talked out, the young people get out their hot bricks and prepare to go home. Later, when you have said the last good- bye and the last flashlight is no more to be seen, you go to bed yourself. And as you lie there you think how nice the days are. For the first time since September you know you can get up as early as you want or you can lie in bed until noon. You think over the fun you've had this evening and wish it would happen more often. To- morrow is going to be a great day, primar- ily because there isn't going to be any school. The snowplow isn't through yet, and you aren't expected to walk in this kind of weather. After all, who would ever send children out into all that snow? Why, you might as well be snowbound! B.
