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.,

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.
