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.
