Vivian Weed withdrew before the year was over, leaving us with the doubt- ful honor of 'being the smallest class the school had had for some time. During grad- uation week we decorated the hall for the Commencement Ball and sold refreshments at the dance. At last came the fall day when we re- turned to school as dignified seniors. We were assigned our seats up back and began planning for the most enjoyable and mem- orable year of our school career. We were only four in number, but we welcomed Mi- chele Renaud, a special student from Paris, France, as a courtesy member of our group. Mr. Floyd Feero was the new Commercial teacher. Mrs. Matheson became our class adviser. In the spring it was announced that joan Haskell had obtained the highest scholastic average and would be our valedictorian. On the first Friday in March she participated in the ceremony of inscribing her name on the Balfour Plaque which hangs in the Main Room. This is the annual privilege of the valedictorian. Carolyn Woodman was an- nounced as the salutatorian. Although we are a small class, we have had four happy and profitable years to- gether. As we look forward to graduation, we have many mixed emotions.

You can imagine 'elt being with the high school, even e only the junior high. The seventh t especially proud, as it was their with the high school. We were all orward to taking part in the school Lince then we have been taking part of activities. On the second day of school Mr. Sprague came and introduced us to the magazine drive. The drive lasted ten days, and many fine prizes were given. Some of the prize winners from the Junior High were Beverly Eaton, Diane Cousins, Darrell Snowden, Carley Torrey, Alice Lounsbury, Donn Heanssler, Margaret Heanssler, and Sherwood Damon. Then on September 26 the junior high took a trip to Castine for historical pu-rposes, and of course also for fun. When we ar- rived we were shown some of the historical spots by- Mr. Matheson. After lunch we played a baseball game with a number of Castine boys participating. Then came the time for the annual fair which the junior high also took part in. The eighth grade decorated their booth in pink and black. It was attractive. They sold can-- ned goods and jellies. They made S28.07. The seventh grade girls decorated their booth in old rose and white and gold grabs. The seventh grade boys also decorated a booth in old rose and white, and held a dart game. Their combined profits were 352834. Some of us also are interested in sports. Six of our girls are on the girls' basketball varsity squad., They are Deanna Ellis, Aud- rey Eaton, Sandra Eaton, Belvia 'Weed, Ever- lyn MacDonald, and Gayle Donavan. John Snowden makes a very efficient manager for the boy's team. . Under the expert guidance of Mr. Mathe- son, and the managership of Audrey Eaton and Beverly Eaton, the junior high boys have formed a 'basketball team and have had several trips. Some junior high girls have formed a cheerleading squad to cheer at the junior high games. They are Captain De-- anne Ellis, Audrey Eaton, Gayle Donovan, Charlotte Carter, and Everlyn MacDonald. That is all the news there is up to now. We are all looking forward to being in high school. ? ' . .L f Q . A-2 SO PH OMORE C IASB FIFSI row. front to bark. M. Hardy. M. Damon. G. Czlrtvr. L. Bray.

The three chosen were Nancy Colwell, The t Shepard anet Snowden, and Barbara Eaton. wo capable pianists are Annette and Carley Torrey. The year 1953 began with approximately fifty-five mem- bers, but many fou because of the various activities, d it impossible to continue.

Nancy Colwe-ll NEW TENNIS COURT Following his policy of providing as many different kinds of recreation as possible for the students, Mr. Matheson conceived the idea, last spring, of building a tennis court at the edge of the grounds behind the ele- mentary school. Soil, largely clay, made a playing surface which was not too hard to get into condition. The younger boys and some of the girls picked stones and helped lay out the court. The more rugged of our heroes located cedar posts, cut, and set them, and strung the wire. Finally a social was held to raise money for a net. just before school closed all was ready for the introduc- tion of a new sport. 2, SENIOR HIGH CHORUS Front row. lvft to right. Miss Hughs-s. Perez.

CHRISTMAS PARTY On December 18 the annual Christmas program was presented under the direction of the junior class. Pearl Eaton, class presi- dent, was master of ceremonies. Joan Haskell sang White Christmas. Sandra Eaton, Gayle Donovan, and Beverly Eaton did tap dance numbers. Mrs. Mathe- son gave Christmas readings. Informal sing- ing of Christmas carols, under the direction of Miss Hughes, followed. Santa Claus arrived in time to pass out gifts from the tree, and everyone enjoyed the reading of the humorous verses attached. After the gifts were distributed, refresh- ments of ice cream, cake, and candy were served by the juniors. There are advantages in the fact that our yearbook goes to press early in March. Time spent on outside activities has to be distributed as wisely as possible in order that our 'school work may not suffer by a pile up of activities at any one time. With the yearbook out of the way, we are free for our spring activities. We also 'have time to deliver our books and complete our records before school closes. Since the publication of the yearbook involves about six hundred dollars, of many advertisers and necessary that we have the ate. The disadvantage of early publication lies, of course, in the fact that our spring activi- ties cannot be covered by the book of the year in which they occur. In The Gatherer for 1953, for instance, we should like to have had a record of the burning expeditions en- gineered by the Deer Isle Firemen and par- ticularly by Mr. Nonnan Haskell, who pro- posed the project and gave much time to it.

THE GATHERER As we go to press, we are looking forward to pleasant events this spring. Plans are be- ing made for a dancing class in which we may receive professional instruction in danc- ing. Such a class has not been held since 1948. We are earning money for the pur- chase of 'a new high powered victrola. We also have ahead of us the spring plays, base- ball, a music program, and, of course, gradu- ation. GIRLS' STATE Carol Woodman was chosen last Spring as the junior girl to attend Girls' State, a summer camp for girls, 'held annually at Colby College in Waterville. The local A-merican Legion Auxiliary 'sponsored Car- ol's trip. Carol reports that the emphasis at Girls' State is upon the principles and functioning of our government. Voting procedures, both state and local, are illustrated. The girls themselves took the parts of -tellers, town clerks, and moderators. Many prominent speakers 'brought inter- esting information to the girls. T-here were also periods for fun and play, with an op- portunity to get acquainted with other girls from all over the state, who had been chosen as outstanding students and leaders.

THE GATHERER In view of the small number in the senior class this year, it was decided to produce The Galherer as a school, instead of a class project. This, the thirty-sixth edition of our yearbook, is the result. Carol Woodman and Joan Haskell have served as co-editors-in-chief. Burt Weed, business manager, assisted by Richard Col- well, has been responsible for securing ad- vertising. As a result of our endeavor to insure a sound hnancial set-up, a pre-publi- cation sales campaign was carried on under the direction of Randall Haskell, circulation manager. His assistant has been Vaughn Joyce. Other members of the stall' are as follows: Class Editors, Sylvia Howard, Janet Snowden. Beatrice Pickering, Audrey Eaton, and Beverly Eaton. Boys' Sports. Barbara Eaton. Girls' Sports, Nancy Colwell. Alumni and Exchange Editor, Pauline Knight. Activities, Priscilla Powers, Velma Rob- bins, Geraldine Carter, June Perez. Photography, Michele Renaud, Patty Spofiford, Jerome Brewster, Mary Hardy, Marilyn Damon, and Raymond Haskell. Head Typist, Patty Spofford. Faculty Adviser, Mrs. Matheson. Professional photography was done by the Stevens Studio, Bangor, our official photog- raphers for the first time. The Deer Isle Photo Studio has cooperated with supple- mentary pictures. Following the present trend, we have made our book a bit more informal than usual. In doing so, we hope we have shown a picture truly representative of school life. We should like to express our appreciation to our aclvertisers and to our parents and friends. who have helped make this issue of The Gatherer possible.

RTS 1953 -54 26 THE GATHERER BASKETBALL The boys were very glad to welcome Roger Davis ba k as their coach for the third con- eason. Although only one player, secutive Sonny G eenlaw, had been lost by gradua- tion, his absence was felt greatly. However, his position was soon filled competently. John Snowden was chosen manager. The Hrst game in which our boys partici- pated was the Round Robin Tourney at Ellsworth on November 21. In this tourney every team played a half game - each quar- different team. In our first quarter ter with 3 we met umner and our second we clashed with Mt. Desert. We emerged victorious from both by scores of 16-7 and 15-6, respec- tively. In the second game of the season we met the Ellsworth Freshmen on our home floor. Pearl, with 18 points, led the boys to a 57- 39 victory. for the fi st time. We were expecting a more difficult a , was need ess, since we won 60-43. Pearl led the scori On Drfember 5 we entertained Jonesport S me than usual but our worrying Our xt rivals Brooksville, were easily downed y a score of 78-38. Pearl racked up 22 mts and B Blodgett and Andrews of Brook ville came through with 16 and 17 points re pectively. Jonesport proved a little 'harder to defeat on their 54-38 wilf own floor, but we pulled through Pearl scoring 20 points. g with 26 points. h On D cember 17 we met our old rivals Stoningtdzn on our 'home floor. When the final whistle blew the score stood at 94-52. Fred Brewster led the Islanders with 36 points. On Jztiuary 6 at Monson we had the closest g. me of the season. This trip was slated for both 'boys and girls, but because of the bad weather and the long distance to be traveled, only the boys went. The game was tough and one the boys will long re- member. Our opponents lead us 8 to 18 at the end of the first quarter, 34 to 24 at the half, and 45 to 42 at the end of the third quarter. However, our boys came through in a blaze of glory in the last quarter, scoring 9 points to Mon'on's 4. To the relief of our players the score stood 51 to 49 for Deer Isle at the final whistle. On January 8 we returned to our league games, meeting Penobscot in the first game off the island for 'both boys and girls. Dickie and Vaughn each scraped up 18 points to lead us to a 84-52 victory. The Bangor jV's were our next opponents. They proved a little harder to subdue than the league teams, but we came out ahead by a score of 56-48. Our next two games, with Castine and Islesboro, were two of the easiest of the sea- son. The first, at Castine, was won 84-27. The score of the second, with Isles-boro, on our 'home floor, was 85-51. The Islesboro team was entertained afterward with a rec- ord dance. On January 26 we packed our sneakers and set out for Brooksville in the bus. That night Fred and Dickie were high scorers, with 17 and 16 points respectively, as we bat- tled to a 79-40 decision. On the weekend of january 29 the boys set out on an all-male expedition to Eastport and Machias. Sin-ce Eastport is Mr. Davis' hometown, this game was eagerly antici- pated. Fred set the pace for the Islanders with 19 points, as we rolled on to a 52-44 victory. Our luck was not so good the next BOYS' BASKETBALL Lvft to right. SllOWd0Il. txuwugcr. Mr. Davis. couvh.

At the hands of Machias, an M school, we suffered our first and only de- feat of the regular season. It may have been e boys' lack of sleep, 'bad luck or to t plai .. careless handling of the ball, but at the end of the game the score stood at 50-43. due just On February 2 we clashed with Stoning- ton on their floor. This game was more difli- cult than the one with them at Deer Isle but no match for our boys and we they werf downed hem 67-41. Dickie pushed through 25 points, while Griffin was high scorer for Stonington with 15. With playing the teams in our league. At Castine Dickie led the attack with 18 points to post a 67-45 victory and at Deer Isle Fred picked up 20 .points in a 73-32 decision over Penob- scot. the next two games we finished up Our l season w s with the Ellsworth Freshmen on r. For the first quarter it looked we might be in for a defeat but st non-tournament game of the their flo as thoug the tables were turned for the rest of the game. At the final whistle the score stood: Deer Isle-51, Ellsworth-30. This year the H.C.S.S.A. Tournament was again 'h d at Stonington. Winterport and Searspor were the non-league teams who were ask d to participate. The team stand- ings wereii as follows: 1. Deer Isle 2. Stonington 3. Winterport 4. Searsport 5. Brooksville 6. Castine 7. Penobscot The t nights or February 18, 19, and 20. How- ever, th game scheduled for February 18 was post oned because of bad weather until urnament was scheduled for the the afternoon of February 19. Since there was an odd number of teams participating in the tournament, Deer Isle did not play in the first session. On February 19 we met Winterport in a thrilling contest. We were behind most of the way with the score see- sawing bark and forth by a few points. In the last quarter we 'began to get worried for fear this might be our last game of the sea- son. just as we almost lost all hope the boys staged an amazing comeback. With five sec- onds remaining in the game and the score at 38-37 in favor of Winterport, Dickie stole the ball near the Winterport basket, dribbled the whole length of the floor and, just as the final whistle -blew, dropped in the win- ning basket, a beautiful layup shot, for Deer Isle. The crowd went wild because for the second consecutive year Dickie had sun.k the winning basket in tournament games. T'he next night we played off with Stonington for the league championship. We romped through the game, and at the end the score stood 46-33, thus winning the Hancock County small schools' championship once more. And so on to Bangor. On February 25 school was -closed in the afternoon so that the people who wanted to go to see the boys play in the tournament at Bangor could leave early. We were slated to play Schenck at 8:00. The game was a thrilling one, since the teams were very evenly matched. They 'battled back and forth, with first one team leading and then the other. At the end of the first quarter the score was 15 all, and at the end of the third quarter 42-38 in Schenck's favor. In the last period, however, the boys staged a quick comeback. Dickie scored 12 points and Pearl 10 in that quarter alone. By skill- ful interception and capable ball-handling we were able to sew up the game. Even then the score was too close for comfort - 64 to 57. Pearl and Dickie pushed through 26 and 24 points respectively to assure the THE GATHERER team of a place in the semi-Hnals the next night. The Bridgewater quintet was our oppo- nent. Since their team was rated first in the tournament standings we were doubtful about the outcome of the game. However, by holding on stubbornly we managed a one point lead at the end of the first quarter. Although Bridgewater had an excellent de- fense, our boys just would not give up. In spite of all our efforts we soon lost our lead, and when the final buzzer sounded the score- board read: Deer Isle-35, Bridgewater-40. Consoling is the fact that for the second year we were defeated in a close game by the team that went on to become the S cham- pions of Eastern Maine. Another thing to console us is that by reaching the semi-finals we showed advancement in tournament play over last year. Perhaps next year we will be able to go all the way, we certainly hope so. 1 At the close of the very successful season our record stood at 21 wins and 2 losses. We are extremely proud of our boys and the work they have done and we feel con- fident that in the years to come they will continue to bring honor and glory to our school. Name r.G. F. '71, ofF.

Mr. Mathe- son acted as their coach and Pearl Eaton served as his assistant. The boys attending practices were Neville Hardy, John Snow- den, Wiley Billings, Darrell Snowden, Rod- erick Damon, Bradford Eaton, Eugene Ea- ton, Arthur Poitras, Bobby Milan, Douglas Eaton, Tommy Cole, and Richard Quinn. This team played two games with Castine, one with Bar Harbor, one with Brooklin, and one with Ellsworth. On the trips away, which were taken by bus, the team was ac- companied by junior high cheerleaders and junior high fans. The record at the end of the season was four games lost and one won. Most of the games were against larger schools and valuable experience was gained.

The members of the team were Patty Spolford, Mary Hardy, Nancy Colwell, as forwards, Edna Eaton, Deanna Ellis, Eliza Small, and Sylvia Howard as guards. Our substitutes were Carol Woodman, Rosalyn Haskell, Polly Knight, Inez Billings, june Perez, Belvia Weed, Sandra Eaton, Audrey Eaton, Gayle Donovan, and Evelyn Mac- Donald. Of these members, six are junior high players. The girls started practicing at the D. I. Elementary School, but the season had hardly begun before we were sharing the Town Hall with the boys. We managed to squeeze in about three practices per week, starting out with drills and then short scrimmages. When December 4-th arrived the D. I. girls faced the Brooklin girls on our own floor. The 'first game proved to be more than successful with a 33-19 victory. The following Tuesday Brooksville ar- rived. This game was just as successful as our first game with a 57-25 win. The first two games gave our subs a chance for some action. The Stonington-Deer Isle game was one of the thrillers of the season for all of us. At the half we were at a disadvantage with a 21-16 lead for Stonington. When the buzzer sounded at t-he third quarter Deer Isle was still on the short end, but the last period was the big period for us. We finally pulled through with a two point margin 53-51. This was the first time the girls had beaten Stonington in a number of years. Patty Spofford was high scorer for the Sea Hawks with 20 points while Nancy MacKay rolled in 31 points for the Rockettes. Next was our first game away, and we started the new year right by defeating Penobscot 42-21. JUNIOR HIGH 'BASKETBALL AND CHEERLEADERS Front row. loft to right. B. Wm-sid. E. MacDonald, G. Donovan.

Sometimes they quit and went away to another school, such as normal school or Bucksport Seminary. There was no division of students according to grades. Everyone was in one group. There was no set pro- gram to be completed and no one ever was graduated. Masonic records show that on Septem- 'ber 3, 1895, the lodge voted to 'sell to the town a plot of land for the 'building of a high school. The land was sold for 8100. In 1896 the new school was started. It was a contract job, given to the lowest bid- der. Moses S. Joyce, great-grandfather of one of our present students, designed the building, and Joe Saunders and Benjamin Smith, the grandfather of another of our students, were the carpenters who built it. The plan called for one large room down- stairs and a large room, principal's office, and laboratory upstairs. The room down- stairs was completed first and assigned to the grammar school. In 1899 the room up- stairs was ready and the high school moved III. The first principal was Angus Littlefield from Bucksport. Under Mr. Patten, the school was graded, and in 1903 the first class was graduated. These first graduates of Deer Isle High School were four: Har- riet Saunders, Susie Cole, Fred J. Sxpofford, and Ernest Barbour. Of this group, but one member, Ernest Barbour, is still living. We are very much pleased that 'he is with us this evening. The vacant seat you see here has been reserved for him, and we shall feel honored if Mr. Barbour, who was graduated from Deer Isle High School fifty years ago, will consent to sit with us, the graduating class of 1953. Perhaps our marshal will es- cort Mr. Barbour to the platform. T-hank you, Mr. Barbour, for coming to sit with us. For the class of 1904 graduation exercises THE GATHERER 39 were held for the first time in the town hall. The four members had part in the exercises, and the juniors assisted by giving recitations so that the program would not be too brief. In the fall of 1904 the faculty was ex- panded, becoming two in number. The prin- cipal was W. H. Patten. His new assistant was Miss Edna Cornforth. Miss Cornforth later became one of the outstanding teach- ers of English in Maine, serving for a long time as head of the English department at Edward Little High School in Auburn. An elderly lady now, and retired for many years, she still remembers vividly the year she spent in Deer Isle. She 'has recently written us a letter, recounting with a good deal of humor some of her experiences here. The school year was thirty weeks. She received ten dollars a week, payable at the end of each term. She told of arriving by steamboat. In her own words: f'The principal informed me that neither hotel would take women teach- ers. When I mentioned returning to what for the moment seemed civilized clime, he and a Mr. Gray assured me I could not get off the island until some time the following week when the Boston boat would travel up to Bangor on its regular trip. This seemed to be a fine joke to the men, but did not please me particularly. - Miss Gornforth Finally found lodgings with a Mrs. Haskell and has many happy memories of her year here, including the Junior Exhibition and the brilliant success of one of the Sellers triplets, who spoke a comic recitation. A Miss Gornforth continued, Three girls in the Virgil class were my favorites, although they probably did not know it 5 two were named Haskell and one was Miss Gray. School records show that these girls remem- bered over a period of fifty years by their teacher, were probably Breta Haskell, Gracie Haskell, and Mabel Gray. In 1905 live students were graduated. In this group were Villa Haskell, who became a highly successful nurse, and Lillian Knowl- ton, who later married Harry Trust. Dr. Trust served for many years as president of Bangor Theological Seminary. For a time the school was called Deer Isle High School. Opinion seems to differ as to when the name was changed to McKin- ley High School. One version is that after President McKinley's death, which occurred in 1901, the idea of honoring him was pre- sented. The students approved of the idea because they thought an old English M would look well on their sweaters. Since Miss Cornforth refers to the school as Mc- Kinley, it was evidently called that in 1904. The name did not appear on the diplomas until 1931. In 1949 the town voted at town meeting to change the name back to Deer Isle High School. In 1916 the first yearbook The Gatheref' was published. The students were proud of the first year books, feeling that they were somewhat superior to those of other schools, since the Deer Isle ones had pictures and most of the others did not. In 1938 the Deer Isle High School Band was formed and under the leadership of Anton Mainente progressed very fast. In 1939 it was invited to go to the New Eng- land Music Festival in Worcester, Mass. The school, because of its size was class C, yet it sent a group of thirty-two and entered in Class A. Confidence was justified, for it won the highest possible rating. Included in the curriculum of the early classes were several subjects which we do not study as separate subjects today. Among these were astronomy, physical geography, geology, Greek, rhetoric, and elocution. Surprisingly, the class of 1905 studied psy- chology, which is usually considered a fairly recent subject. After a very few years most of these subjects dropped out, and, although our curriculum has been expanded so that 40 we of off can to thi , YY, A jec me 110 C0 W 19 ba Ina lab der ten des was Th 194 . mm bu pr1 Th w UC sch 1 95 for roo son the gra 194 tw o Last sn ins Wh ter w do tau L r. . 3 I cha Hft att c su i THE GATHERER a wider choice than the students '-five years ago, most of the subjects ien are still offered today.

The total number of graduates has now reached approximately 426. The class of 1939 was the largest, with twenty- one graduates. The class of 1945 was the smallest, with two graduates. There have, of course, been many other students who have attended school but left 'before graduating. To the lives of each, the school 'has con- tributed something which can never be taken from them. The monetary value of a high school edu- cation is generally acknowledged. 'Sixty-four percent of the people of the country who earn less than S2000 have never attended high school. Of those making 35000, or more, only thirteen percent have never at- tended 'high school. Many of the graduates of our school are enterprising and financially successful peo- ple. Many 'have made outstanding records in their chosen fields, the fields of teaching, dentistry, nursing, music, missionary work, engineering, business, and marine service, to cite only a few. Typical of the successful alumni is Dr. Fred S. Powers. Dr. Powers is a descendant of Rev. Peter 'Powers, one of the first set- tlers and the first Congregational minister here. Dr. Powers was graduated with the class of 1913, just 40 years ago. He went on to Harvard College and has for some years been one of the outstanding dentists of the state. He is a member of the Ameri- can Dental Association, and prominent in the Maine Dental Association. That Dr. Powers retains an interest in the town is shown by 'his generous gift of land for a ball field a few years ago. Now he has purchased a home here and is with us for weekends and holidays. Dr. Powers wrote us recently that his mother and Dr. George Wheeler gave him inspiration and encouragement for 'his career. He said also, I am proud of this school and THE GATHERER 41 shall always cherish the thoughts of my four years as a student there. I might state that, although it was and is a small school, the teachers must have been good, for I had no difficulty at the college level. The fact that many of our students still go on to make splendid records in higher institutions of learning reflects the adequacy of their high school training today. In the last six years, fifty-nine students have been graduated, Thirty percent of these have at- tended higher institutions of learning. Sev- eral others have entered the armed forces, receiving rapid promotions and securing valuable specialized training. The number who have received honors in college is far above the average. At one time three students were attending the Uni- versity of Maine and all were at some time on the Dean's list. Of the graduates who at present are attending colleges and teachers' colleges, four out of five are on the Deans' lists. Within the last six years, two Deer Isle graduates have won Phi Beta Kappa Keys. One has 'been salutatorian of his col- lege class. Of the six students who have been registered at the University, five have been on the institution's honor roll. One, graduating this year as a mechanical engi- neer, was admitted his junior year to Tau Beta Pi, the national honor society. This was an unusual achievement. This spring he was cited as the outstanding engineer of the graduating class, and he has won numer- ous honors besides. 'One of our recent gradu- ates has made an outstanding record in a Providence business college, two have made far better than average records in nurse's training. Much credit goes to these individual stu- dents who have made the most of their op- portunities. Much credit should also go to the school which provided them with their foundation and helped them develop good habits of study. Over the years, 'because of its standards, its policies, and the records of its graduates, Deer Isle High School has indeed, stood proudlyj' with every right to do so. May the graduates in 2003 have as much right as we have to say again of their school Looks she proudly down! Salutatory NoRwooD GREENLAW, '53 SING HER PRAISES TO THE PEOPLEH Today Deer Isle High School is a modern school. It may not look very modern on the outside, but You can't tell a book by its cover. As a modern school, our school takes on the responsibility of rounding the per- sonality of its students. In schools of old most teachers were interested in imparting book learning and in getting the students through. Our teachers are interested in us as persons and want to help in solving our personal problems. Our school helps us set standards to follow. As a modern school, it provides for us an extensive program of so- called outside-activities. Participation in such activities, not only serves to develop our individual talents and abilities, but teaches us to accept responsibility, and to work to- gether for the welfare of the group. In addition, such activities provide us with rich and colorful memories of the fun we have together during our school years. We do not need to tell you how eagerly we look forward to the -basketball season each year. In a small school almost everyone who wishes has a chance to make the team. Some who are not outstanding in other fields have an opportunity to be a real success here. And what happy memories we have of the trips to other towns and the friendships made! Basketball is an expensive sport - expen- sive in 'both time and money. Is it worth all we put into it? Most of you have heard of 42 the succe What do success?

We notice for the first time a shy girl who has great artistic ability. The contributions of every- one make for the success of the project. In soliciting for our booth, we must over- come shyness in order to meet and talk to older people in the community. We must practice courtesy. When we all sell, on the night of the fair, we get first hand practice in arithmetic. The magazine drive has about the same values for us that the fair has. Both the fair and the magazine drive develop warm school-community relationships. We are strongly aware after these events are over to the interest older people take in our ac- tivities and the help they afford us. When we are reminded from time to time during the year that we, in turn, must be as willing to help in community projects sponsored by the older people, we agree, for we under- stand that what is for the school is for the community, and what is for the community is for the school. Another source of enjoyment for the stu- dents, and, we hope, for the public, is the plays we produce. When a play is being cast, there is always speculation as to who will get the parts. Everyone tries his best, but when the lucky ones are chosen there are no hard feelings and everyone is con- gratulated. Those really interested in drama- tics get experience and enjoyment, as well. At rehearsals we learn to accept and benefit by criticism. We must overcome stage fright and shyness. We learn to stand before a crowd. Students not in the play get experi- ence in meeting .people by being ushers and selling and taking tickets. We all 'have -a sense of working together for a common cause. Deer Isle High School sponsors several clubs. Perhaps the most active is the Library Club. Girls who work in this club are alert to the appearance of the school, since they must keep the table and shelves tidy. Our books are catalogued by the Dewey Decimal System, as books are in large libraries. We THE GATHERER 43 catalogue books ourselves and keep all the records. In the matter of a minute or two, we can tell whether a 'book called for is owned by our library, and if it is, we can find it immediately in its place on the shelves. We know by observing the libraries in oth- er schools that ours is far better than the average small school library, indeed better than the libraries in many much larger schools. We are especially proud of it be- cause, we, ourselves, help it to grow. By showing a little initiative the library club earns nearly one hundred dollars each year, with which it buys most of the attractive magazines on the reading table and many new books. These, added to the new books bought by the town, make the library a source of information and enjoyment for every one in school. Perhaps one of the most important les- sons a young person can learn is an under- standing of the value of money. Our school activities 'helfp us here, also. We know we must earn the money we spend, and that we cannot spend more than we earn. Be- cause we are a small school, we are in close touch with the school finances and are free at any time to find out how any of our organizations stand. Most of us are quite familiar with the book, as it is called. This is the journal in which our .principal sees that our class officers and ticket sellers enter and initial every sum of money collected in the name of the school. This book is a well traveled book, since it goes to al-1 the school functions in order that nothing be trusted to memory. School money is deposited in the local bank and may be drawn out only by a check sign- ed by both the principal and our student treasurer. It may surprise some of you to know that nearly three thousand dollars goes in and out of our school treasury each year. Where does it come from? Some is turned in by students to pay for class rings, school jackets, etc., but most comes from the money-making activities we sponsor. For what do we Here we will quote prise you. What is your estimate as to the cost of the 'bats and baseballs used each spring by our baseball team? Does anyone guess as high as the real sum - one hundred dollars? How much would it cost to buy completely new uniforms and supplies for a boys' baseball team? The answer to that one is approximately S4-50. The letters whic'h were awarded to the boys' and girls' basket- ball teams this year cost S52. Although the town allows us the use of the bus for trips, we pay the bridge tolls ourselves. For a period of three years, we paid an average of S100 a year just for bridge tolls. Now it costs us about S40 a year. In addition, we pay our bus driver approximately S50, and we spend about S200 a year for constables and referees. New basketball suits for the boys' team this year cost 3120. Incidentally, surprising as it may seem, when the question of whether or not to buy new suits came before the teams this year, the boys voted to dress up, the girls voted to wear old suits and save their money. Not only suits, but athletic equipment is very expensive. In one year when no new suits were bought, checks made out to sporting goods stores for routine equip- ment only amounted to 8361. Athletics consume so much money that, under the supervision of our principal, we must be alert to avoid any discrepancy between the income and outgo columns of the joumal. Athletics is not the only money consuming activity. The publishin-g of our yearbook costs in the neighborhood of 3500. In other words, the cost to the class of a single copy is 82.50. A careful budget must be made before we start this project and everyone must work to see that all the sources of income planned spend all this money? figures which will sur- in the budget are realized. It might seem that the routine activities 44 provide cipal beli for and While th' has, ther such as ment for and a mi THE GATHERER ancial burden enough.

Honor Essay R1-IEA JOAN CONARY, '53 HAIL, OH HAIL TO THEEP' Important as the extra-curricular program is to the school, we must not lose sight of the fact that it is definitely secondary to the program of the classroom. We must not lose sight of the fact that the main purpose of the school still is to provide for some students a sound basic education on which they may build successfully in higher schools, and for others training which will enable them to earn a better living and to have a higher capacity for enjoyment of the world around them than they otherwise would have. In our school we are made to realize that these objectives cannot be reached unless 3 careful balance is kept between the extra- curricular and the classroom program. They cannot be met unless the greater amount of emphasis is upon the classroom program. They cannot be met unless the teacher, the pupils, and the public cooperate to see that the time and energy of those connected with the school are divided between the two programs strictly in accordance with their relative importance. Knowledge is power is an old adage. It has never been more nearly true than it is today. For the world today is so complicated socially, fpolitically, and economically that even the most learned persons can but feel confused in the face of its many problems. Moreover, the body of knowledge connected with every phase of science, business, and the professions is so vast that only the specia- list can expect to have the smallest niche in these fields. Less and less in demand is the man who can only wield a pick and shovel. But numerous and wonderful are the opportunities for the person who has THE GATHERER 45 taken advantage of his school days really to master the body of knowledge which will be most useful to him in the hard, competitive world he enters. In addition to the more practical objec- tives cited, the school must pass on to a new generation the precious cultural heritage of the past. It must develop a true appreciation of history, literature, and the study of man as an intelligent, progressive being. Were the schools to fail in this duty, future genera- tions would lack the insight and wisdom to solve the problems of the future in the light of the experiences of the past. Much that marks man as a civilized being would die, and a great regression would surely lead to disaster. We are glad that in our school we are taught respect for knowledge. As freshmen we are told what subject will best prepare us for our future, and we are urged to take as many of the cultural subjects as our in- dividual ability and needs will allow. Most freshmen, even those who plan to take the commercial course later, are encouraged to study Latin. Of what value is a dead lan- guage? you may ask. Most of us have found that it is not a dead language. Sixty per cent of our English words are derived from Latin. The fact that college entrance examinations, army tests, and standard tests of many types have large proportions devoted to vocabulary is an indication of the recog- nized importance of a large one. That the extent of a person's vocabulary is a direct reflection of his intelligence is generally con- sidered to be true. What easier way is there to acquire com- mand of words than by the study of Latin? For many so-called hard English words are derived from very common Latin words. For instance, unda is the common Latin word for a wave of the ocean. When we read that a snake undulates across the gar- den, we who know Latin have a far more vivid 'picture of the motion than we could get by depending upon a mere dictionary meaning of the word. Not a week goes by that we who have had Latin do not grasp immediately the meaning of unfamiliar Eng- lish words we encounter. In a survey made recently among 84 col- lege presidents and deans, the opinion was overwhelmingly for the study of Latin in high school. Among the reasons given were its aid to English vocabulary, spelling, and sentence structure, its general educational and cultural value, and its disciplinary effects as a valuable training in patience, concen- tration, and the will to carry through. Pat- ri-ck Holloran, formerly president of St. Louis University said: One who does not know Latin will probably never know the meaning of half our English words - were a boy to 'have 'his career all chosen - and that career was bricklaying he would be a wise young man if he took Latin in high school. Of all the subjects taught in high school, English is perhaps the most important. For whatever subject one studies or whatever Held he enters, he must be able to read well and express himself clearly and correctly. Our school places much emphasis on read- ing. Ability to read well is not only a prac- tical tool, but can be a source of pleasure and inspiration to a person as long as 'he lives. It is believed that students who can be taught to read well will like to read. Since reading ability develops only through practice, an attempt is made to provide sufficiently in- teresting material so that pupils will want to read it. By different devices we are taught to read for speed, comprehension, and ap- preciation. As in most modern schools, the emphasis is upon extensive rather than in- tensive reading. Although the classics are not neglected, we are taught to read and evaluate much that is contemporary. Our library has, in addition to excellent books and numerous copies of the classics, many light sports stories, adventure stories, 46 and whol THE GATHERER some teen age romances. By way of these books, many students graduate to appreciation for more worthwhile stories. Over ninety per cent of our students sub- scribe to zine foun tion.

We are proud of the fact that, although our school is a small school, it teaches all the courses in mathematics one needs to go on to a higher school for training in any Held, including that of engineering. All of us will use mathematics. The housewife cooks, sews, makes the family budget, and helps spend the family income. The head of the family must check bank accounts and compute more or less complicated taxes. In earning a living almost all specialized work- ers need mathematics, plumbers, mechanics, carpenters, teachers, air plane pilots, ac- countants, artists, architects, radio workers, machine tool workers are only a few. Be- cause so few good mathematicians are gradu- ating from our schools, opportunities for those with a knowledge of higher math are endless. In 1910 there were only 60,000 engineers in the United States. Today there are 400,000, and there is a crying need for many more. Two jobs are open for every engineer graduating this spring. The field is now open to both girls and boys. Many who enter colleges of engineering fail, not because of lack of mechanical ability, but because they have not acquired the founda- tion in mathematics which they need and are expected to have. Mathematics is a challenging subject. All scientific knowledge is subject to its laws. have missed in wooded islands in plowed land, and older peo- THE GATHERER 47 The study of mathematics helps one to think clearly, the method of problem solving may be applied to many problems of life. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to study in our school, in addition to arithmetic elementary and advanced algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trigonometry. Since classes are small, any serious minded student can secure as much individual help as he needs. As wc consider our treatment of the sub- jects outlined above, we are troubled, not by what we have said, but by the many things we have had to leave unsaid. We realize, also, that our time is too limited, and possibly your patience too much tried, to tell you in detail about our other subjects. We should not omit science, which is so impor- tant to our understanding of many wonder- ful and awe-inspiring developments. We should like to point out, too, that we are not unaware of the importance of our social studies. The small village of the old days was easy to govern. It is a great responsi- bility to share, as all of us will share, in the governing of the United States of America today. Whatever insight and knowledge our social studies can give us will eventually work for the welfare of our community and our country. We would point with pride to our com- mercial department. Already the vote in town meeting five years ago to re-establish this department has shaped the lives of sev- eral Deer Isle girls, who are now holding highly remunerative jobs. They could not have secured these without standards main- tained in this department, as demonstrated by the fact that students trained here have successfully passed civil service examinations and some have gone directly into industry. Because our school is a small school, it is possible to maintain a flexible schedule. This enables courses to overlap whenever thc pupil will benefit. Thus, although all but one in this class are completing the college J preparatory course, all of us have had type- writing and all but one shorthand. Last of all, we are grateful for our oppor- tunities in music, opportunities which have developed any natural talent we may have had and given us an understanding of tech- nique and an appreciation for various types of music which will add to our listening pleasure as the years go on. We shall re- member the fun we 'have had singing to- gether and shall be the more ready to partici- pate in group singing whenever we have the opportunity in adult life. As the world had changed and become more complex in the past fifty years, so our school has changed to meet the demands made upon it. Vastly more must be taught with less time in which to teach it, so our school makes use of several devices which speed, or make more effective, methods of teaching. Our movie machine helps to do this in the fields of geography, history, sci- ence, English, and social development. Our tape recorder is a quick way of pointing up flaws in plays and music we are preparing for presentation and of showing us our in- dividual speech defects. I sound as though my mouth were full of water, one student was heard to remark with surprise, thus showing the effectiveness of this teaching de- vice in making us aware of our speech diffi- culties. In conclusion, let us say that we hope we have shown how effectively our school pro- vides us with a sound basic education, helps us to become vocationally competent, and gives us capacity for greater service and en- joyment. We know that it had come far from teaching us all we need to know. For education is a never-ending process. Per- haps proof of the success of our high school is the fact that it had made us realize that not even a life time is sufhcient to leam all we need and want to know. But, to modify slightly the words of David Oliver, a student of Pittsburg, Pa., Our school doesn't teach 48 us everyt THE GATHERER hing, but if we learn what it does teach us it will make the part we don't know easier to and proud learn. We are proud of our school to honor it tonight! Valedictory VIRGINIA CAROLYN BILLINGS, '53 MEMORIES OF HAWAII I live remembe my life. for twelve years in Hawaii and those years as the best ones of There are eight different islands, all of which are beautiful and rich with fruits an and pine Hawaii i Mauna other plants. Sugar cane, orchids, 'pple are the biggest crops raised. especially lovely for its mountains. llea way off in the distance is beauti- ful when 't is covered with snow. Since have lived in Maine, people have sometime said, Hey, Jerry, do people in Hawaii sill wear Hula skirts? Do they speak any English? I answer that the people in Hawaii are no more prilmitive than the people anywhere. They ac . and dress as people do in the United States. There are, however, many different many Ja' peoples in Hawaii, among them anese and Chinese. Although the people df not behave unlike Americans, they do have different sports and festivals. My brothers and cousins used to hunt oc- topuses, them. T rock or the mat Having l and I have watched them catch hey would go to any overhanging dge on the shore. After discussing er, one would dive with a spear. .ocated an octopus, he would aim for the eyes. Often an octopus squirts ink, making his teeth it impossible for the diver to see. bites the eye. This kills the octopus. If he finds the octopus, he grasps it and with 1 The onlj an inch l It mi' octopus I have caught was only ong. ht interest Maine lobstemien to know thi I never in my life heard of lobster traps before coming here. In Hawaii a per-, son does lobsters, not 'have to have a license to catch and it is not a business. If a person craves a lobster, he goes to the coast where there are high rocky,cliffs. From there he dives off into the blue Pacific. When he comes up he will have a lobster weighing on the average about seven pounds. The lobsters, except in size, are about the same as Maine lobsters. They are, however, cov- ered with spikes and their color is a little sandy. Another sport in Hawaii is spear Fishing. It is done mostly by Hawaiians, but it is easy to learn and tourists often take it up and soon catch on. I remember a person who filled the length of one spear and had about twelve other fish tucked in his swimming trunks. There are many different kinds of fi-sh one can get. The hardest to kill are the eels. Hawaiian eels are savage fish, with their upper and lower jaws filled with teeth. The eels slip from the spears and get into holes from which it is difficult to get them. Small parties are the same in Hawaii as they are in America. But the festivals are different. The host has a few pigs cooked in the ground. There are rows of tables with the native food. Instead of beer they have soda pop. Only on special occasions like festivals do they dance the Hula. In Hawaii one special day is set off for all islanders. It is celebrated by both natives and tourists in honor of the birthday of King Kamehameha. On this day the whole family goes to the beach. iOn the beach races and contests are held and prizes are given to the visitors. When evening comes there are parades on both land and water. Some people go torch light fishing in canoes. On shore people watch and see a beautiful sight. Out on the water are torches light as day and people fishing. Later in the evening there is a dance at the beach pavilion, which lasts un-til about twelve o'clock. People usually stay there that night and leave in the morning. These are some of my memories of Hawaii. JEROME BREWSTER, '56 THE GATHERER 49 AMERICA, MY DREAM Have you ever been asked to have a trip to the moon? It is a dream, is it not? But listen, for here is another dream which came true for a little French girl, as everybody is calling me. Several years ago, as we were studying America in my Paris school, I began to dream about that land of peace and riches. My first i-dea was to go abroad only to see the magnificent scenery of California, Colo- rado, and the Grand Canyon, and above all the cowboys. But I was only fourteen, and I had not gone on journeys alone. Therefore I dropped the idea of going to America. Four years later, on a July day, when driving in the country, my cousin suddenly asked me if I would like to go to America. The words were magic to me. I answered quickly, Yes, it is my dreamli' The next four months were busy ones. Several times I went to the American Em- bassy to secure my papers. At 'last came the telegram saying that my visa was ready. Soon came another from America: Sent cash, passenger ticket on T.W.A. plane, flight 927, Friday 14-. I cannot describe the im- mense wave of joy which unfurled higher and higher over my head. I was to leave Paris on Friday evening at 11:45. My mother accompanied me to the airfield. She was also very excited and happy because the dream of her little girl had come true! It was the first flight I was going to take. I was breathless when I found myself in front of one of those giant quadrimotors called Constellations A quarter of an hour later I saw my Paris for the last time, perhaps, and I did not care. I was ready to face a wonderful adventure. We made four ports of call: Shannon, Gander, iBoston, and New York at Idlewild, the final landing for me. It was six p. m. at my watch when we arrived. In reality it was one p. m., hour of New York. I had forgotten to set my watch! We had made the trip in about fifteen hours. No one among the 'hostesses on the plane had been able to speak French, but a few passengers had, so, although I spoke no English, I had no difficulties. I had worried a little about how I could get out. How- ever, I discovered that my cousin was there to welcome me in my new country. I stepped into a big car and was en route for Deer Isle. Passing by, I admired some of the beautiful states, and I had a big questioning mind. I remarked first that al- most everybody had a television antenna. I told myself, The people around here are undoubtedly rich! I must have spoken aloud, because my cousin said, They work for each thing they want to have, and they work together, hand in hand. There is no distinction between classes here in America. I found that marvelous, that you can count on your neighbors if help is needed, and it is so easy to have friends. My first contact with Deer Isle was even more friendly than I expected. You see in France when a stranger arrives, unless he is a high personality, he has to go his own way without help or counsel. I noticed here also that everyone waves to each other, even when they are driving. The people here are very friendly and courteous, always smiling. The first time I went to school here was for a Christmas party. It was new for me, for we do not have parties in the French schools. Two lovely girls greeted me and tried to explain what was going on. They knew a little French. They made me meet everybody in school. The first thing which surprised me was there were boys in the school! In France, boys and girls are separated and if a teacher sees a girl with a boy around school, a sort of trial is held in front of the principal and teachers. The sentence is sometimes a severe punishment. 50 THE GATHERER I do ot hide anything, but I can say that sch l is hard in France. We begin at 9 a.m., ave an hour and half at noon, and quit at 41:30, -but as we have so many home works, we stay until 6 pm. During the day, we have only two periods of fifteen minutes tion. A girl is not allowed to wear dungar es or slacks, neither lipstick or nail r come with bobby pins on her e have also to wear an apron fto our clothes from ink spotsl. Only the books and ink are fumished by the trhe rest is up to you. If you miss ia the teacher does not let you make for recre polish, head. prevent school, test day, up your mark. It is a zero and that is all. Remember, also, that the teacher is right, are not supposed to discuss with and you her. For the girls we 'have feminine teach- ers, and masculine for the boys. School is a art. Frankly, I do not like school world all in Franc-, but I could spend all my life here in this one! How about construction over there? Well, we have houses in stones, not in wood. They are patched with plaster so they are white 'ght. The roofs are made with red at first si, tiles in ricks, except in Paris where they but it is a very colorful scenery are black, in the suburbs of Paris. In Frjmce if you are in trouble you can- not cou ,t on your so-called friends to help you! H re I like it, because if a person suc- ceeds thl people around are proud of him or America I learned that there are her. In no barrifrs against you g you can do what you wan . now been to school in America I hav about oife year. I know that I do not speak the Am rican language perfectly, but I can understa d it and can read English books. If I spe k the English language, it is a very deep th nks I owe to Deer Isle High School. I shall ..ever forget this school whatever my future w'll be. I Ahopi some day to become an American citizen, which will be the end of a wonderful dream come true. MICHELE R1-:NAUD SUBWAY You've had a hard day and you're tired. The sticky heat of the city presses down on you as you leave the paper-littered sidewalk and start down the dirty stairs to the sub- way station. When you reach the bottom step, a blast of cool, musty air hits you abruptly and you try to accustom your eyes to the semi-darkness. Your hand automatic- ally slips into your pocket for some change. Finding a dime, you push it into the slot and the revolving iron gate pushes you through and out onto a concrete ramp. The dull steel of the tracks stretches endlessly before you into the dark dampness of the tunnel, the blackness broken only now and then by flashing spurts of light. People are moving all around you as you stand motionless by a rickety wooden bench. Strangers, you think g funny, even among all these people you are alone. Your attention wanders to a little Negro boy, who is operating the orange-ade ma- chine that stands by one of the steel pillars. His large black eyes wat-ch delightedly as the cool orange liquid slowly fills the paper cup which he holds in his little brown hand. When it is full he sits contentedly on the dirty concrete fioor, drinking slowly to make it last longer, oblivious of your stare. A few minutes later he stands up, places the cup carefully upside down on the fioor and stam-ps his tiny foot down on it. When it pops loudly 'he turns with a little sigh and wanders off down the ramp. You try to fol- low 'hirn with your eyes, but he is soon lost in the crowd. You wonder where he lives and what he is doing here all alone, but 'before you have time to ponder this question further a sub- way train comes screaming down the track, and you jump back automatically. Is this THE ,GATHERER 51 one sure? You peer through the dusty win- dows at the sign on the inside of the car No, this isn't it - maybe the next one. As the people stream through the sliding doors you find yourself watching their every move- ment, wondering about them. There's an old lady coming out now. How very tired she looks. Her face is creased in heavy lines and her hair is iron grey. She walks wearily through the door, her shoulders slumped under the weight of two large shopping bags. You notice 'that 'her dress is worn and faded and that she is wearing bedroom slippers instead of shoes. You want to 'help her, but you can't quite bring yourself to intrude upon the solitude of this stranger. Instead you watch her si- lently as she slowly ascends the stairs and vanishes from sight. With an effort you turn and walk back to the bench. What is there about this place that depresses you so? Is it the people? It could be that it's only your imagination. But no - look around you, look closely. That young man with the crutches - look at the expression on his face. How bitter he looks and how lonely. He hobbles to a gum machine near the edge of the tracks and hesitates a moment, wondering what Havor he should get. Then he pushes his penny into the slot and pulls the lever under the sign marked cinnamon. As the tiny pa- per-wrapper square slides out the 'hole at the bottom of the machine, he catches it in his left hand an-d carefully tearing the paper from it, puts it into his mouth. Chew- ing idly, he suddenly turns and finds you staring at him. You turn quickly and look the other way and when you look for him again, he is gone. Yes, that's one reason this place is de- pressing, the people are lonely. There are so many here and yet each one is alone. While absorbed with these thoughts, you feel a hand tap you lightly on the shoulder and you turn, startled. You find yourself looking into the face of a shabbily dressed man with a week's growth of beard. Oh, I'm sorry, mister, you 'hear him say in a gruff, yet apologetic voice. I-I thought,you was someone else. I coulda sworn - His voice drops off as he stumbles away. You have a strange feeling as you watch him walk off into the crowd. You saw his face for just a moment, but his expression impressed itself deeply in your mind. It was an expression of weariness and complete hopelessness. Never 'before had you seen anyone look so desolate. His face seemed to typify the faces of all the people here. But it isn't just the people that make this place seem so gloomy - it's the darkness and dampness of the place, the bare bul'bs bang- ing here and there over the ramps, the sharp, sudden clang of the swinging gates, but most of all it's the empty hollowness. You want to stay here 'because it fascinates you but you feel you must stop this strange feeling that haunts you. You won't wait for the subway, you'll take a bus, anything to get out of here. You walk quickly across the concrete floor and up the stairs, but at the top something makes you stop and look back at this strange, lonely place. You may never come here again but you'll remember - you'll remem'ber. BARBARA EATON, '56 NOVEMBER IN MAINE Like a gliding bird a lone leaf Butters to the ground, T-he skeleton of a tree stands motionless, The fishermen have hauled boats to shore, The squirrels have gathered their nuts, The birds have Hown south, Everything is still like a vacant house. The blue of the sky turns to snow clouds, Like glittering stars the snow floats to earth, Spruce tree branches, snow laden, 'bend gracefully down, Ebony rocks with their crystals of ice shine like diamonds, A lone gull circles the horizon: The ocean is black and still.
