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.

26 THE GATHERER close as the first one. Deer Isle came out on top 48-46. High scorers for that game were, for Penobscot, Conrad Wight with 14 points and Roger Flannery with 13 points. 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.

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.,
