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.

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
