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. Decemur 17, with the Christmas season approaching, found the combined choruses singing away with all of the Yuletide spirit that was were sung possible at the Christmas party. as solos by joan Haskell, and Silent Night and Winter Wonderland Ea Sandra IOII . After listening to these beautiful songs, we all enjoyed group singing of such pieces as Rnd Jingle to the W lph, The Red Nosed Reindeer, ells, Away In a Manger, joy rld, Oh Come All Ye Faithful, and many more. Miss Hughes accompanied the grou H . The chorus will make its last appearance at graduation in June.

On the day that the package arrives a set of paints also come for Janey's mother. When janey finds the paints, she is so pleased that her mother lets her keep them without tell- ing her the difference, and she keeps the blue beads for herself.

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,

THE GATH ERER 18 CHEERLEADERS The 1,953-54 'basketball season started with six cheerleaders. We chose Patty Spof- ford as head cheerleader, and as regulars, Inez Billings, Carol Woodman, and Priscilla Powers. Marilyn Damon and Eliza Small agreed t alternate. Much commotion was heard when we received our new uniforms. These c nsisted of black circular skirts with white si e pleats on the left. The long sleeved louses were -black and white like the skirts. ow proud we felt wearing them the first ime!

Joan Haskell school teams, was chosen as general manager. The was divided into girls' and boys' with Patty Spofford heading the girls and Vaughn Joyce the boys. Rivalry was keen, but the boys were off to an early lead, which t e girls were never able to overcome. Total s les were the largest ever achieved, amount' g to 382280, of which S426 was secured by the boys and S396 by the girls. Burt W ed, a junior, was high salesman and receive a watch.

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. Afternoons in the spring, high school boys and men faculty members, accompanied by the handling of and the interests subscribers, it is time to be accur-
