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.

14 THE GATHERER Donovan, Audrey Eaton, Beverly Eaton, Charlotte Carter, and Evelyn McDonald, has cheered at all of girls' home games. A variety show was held at the elementary school by the students from grades 4- to 8, with some assistance from high school stu- dents. The entertainments were planned by Miss Hughes, and Mr. Page gave freely of his talents as Master of Ceremonies. Some of the specialties on the program were tap dancing, baton-twirling, a short skit, and the t WHO' usual singing and piano playing. The Ele- mentary Orchestra concluded the evening s program with several numbers. After the entertainment, sandwiches and punch were served, and dancing was enjoyed for a short while, The junior high presented a one-act com- edy play entitled aLet's Make Up. We are all looking forward to becoming part of the high school. S WHO Prettiest Hair ........ Prettiest Smile .... Cutest Girl ........... Handsoxnest Boy . .... Prettiest Girl .........
