10 THE GATHERER JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Class of 1954 President Carol Woodman Vice-president Raymond Haskell Secretary Joan Haskell Treasurer Patty Spofford Class Colors: Rose and Silver Class Advisor: Mr. Larlee This year only five of our six members re- turned. Shortly after Christmas, Vivian Weed left, reducing our number to four. This year at the annual fair, we sold white elephants, with cider as a side line. We also sold a wide selection of pocket-books. We realized 32200. Our V-shaped booth, in the typically fem- inine colors of pink and white, was decora- ted to resemble a dressing table. On the table were a mirror and lipstick, which did much to help carry out this motif. For this attractive booth, we were awarded second prize, All the members of our class are out for some sport. The girls favor basketball, while Raymond Haskell, our only boy, leans to- ward baseball. Carol Woodman was a mem- ber of the cast of the Senior Play, The Case of the Missing Heirs. Joan Haskell and Carol Woodman are going to be in a one- act play on Town Meeting night. The junior class had charge of the annual Christmas program. Santa Claus came to visit the high school and helped distribute gifts. Miss Hughes gave us a few selections on the piano, and we all sang Christmas songs. Refreshments of ice cream, cake and packets of candy were served. A good time was enjoyed by all. SOPHOMORE CLASS Class of 1955 President Pearl Eaton Vice-president Inez Billings Secretary Rosalyn Haskell Treasurer Vaughn Joyce Class Advisor: Mr. Matheson Class Colors: Green and White The sophomore class started this year with fifteen members. Mr. Matheson became our advisor. We were hosts at the annual freshmen re- ception held at Howard's Beach in Sunset. The freshmen soon found out that we had many exciting stunts in store for them. The stunt that kept everyone in stitches was the step ladder and egg stunt, performed by Barbara Eaton and Nancy Colwell. Refresh- ments were served after the stunts. A birth- day cake was presented to Mr. Matheson. We sold candy at the school fair, making S19.00. The booth was a candy shop, decor- ated in green and white crepe paper with fancy candy boxes. We are especially proud of our record in sports this year. Pearl Eaton, Vaughn Joyce, Freddy Brewster, Robert Poitras, Randall Haskell, and Burt Weed are on the basket- ball and baseball squad. In October, when a group of students from the high school made a trip to New York, several of our members were able to go. Only one of our members got lost. One morning Robert Poitras and his girl friend suddenly found themselves on a trolley car, not knowing where they were going. When the first stop came, they got off, and Bobby guided his Juliet safely back to the hotel. We have had a very active year, and hope to contribute much in our remaining years of high school,

12 THE GATHERER FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Class of 1956 President Janet Snowden Vice-president Eliza Small Secretary Marilyn Damon Treasurer Joanne Davis Class Advisor: Mrs. Eaton Class Colors: Red and White There were seventeen in our class when school began in September. We were cor- dially received by the sophomores who gave us a bang-up initiation at Sylvia Howard's Beach on October 9th. After the stunts had been performed, everyone was well fed by their hosts, as hot dogs, soda, and cupcakes were devoured by the ton. Then we piled into the cars and went home, somewhat worse for the wear but full-fledged members of Deer Isle High School. Priscilla Powers was here for the reception but soon after, she left to live in Connecticut. At the school fair, the freshmen chose vegetables and canned foods to sell at their booth. A Halloween theme was chosen. A large, orange pumpkin entirely covered the front of the booth and a white picket fence surrounded the rest of the table. We won third prize for our efforts and cleared 83265. The last part of October was spent pre- paring for the trip to New York. A few of our members went, and our class advisor, Mrs. Eaton, went as a chaperone. We will never forget the wonderful time we had. The girls had a grand time shopping in the big stores, and the boys must have bought oceans of novelties. All of us are looking for- ward to going again. Special praise should be paid to Dicky Colwell who has shown exceptional skill on the basketball floor. He has improved much since last year and is now on the first team. Nancy Colwell, Mary Hardy, Edna Eaton, and June Perez are out for girls' basketball. Barbara Eaton is an efficient manager.

Our number was slightly decreased when Marlene Eaton, Wiley Billings, and Arthur Poitras left us, and one of our mem- members, Duane Dowe, was taken by death. We welcomed a new member, Lyle Meyer, from Washington, D. C. There are many students from our num- bers participating in junior high basketball, baseball, softball, and cheerleading this year. The boys have combined with the fifth and sixth grade students to form several basket- ball teams and will hold a series of games with one another. They had a social at the grade school in November to earn money to purchase uniforms for their teams. The Sun- set Devils have gray shirts with a red devil on them, and red shorts, the North Deer Isle Bulldogs have white shirts with blue bulldogs, and blue shorts, the South Deer Isle Tigers have blue shirts with a yellow tiger, and blue shorts 5 and the Harbor Wild- cats have red shirts with white wildcats, and red shorts. A Junior High Cheerleading squad was formed under the guidance of Miss Hughes. This squad, consisting of Captain Gayle
