10 THE GATHERER The following class officers were ch-osen: President-Billy Knight Vice President-Arthur Poitras Secretary-Annette Shepard Treasurer-Beatrice Pickering Our junior year at D.I.H.S. was high- lighted by the Junior Prom. Decorated in blue and white streamers and bal- loons, the Town Hall looked like a ball- room indeed. President Knight led the grand march with his partner with Fulton Weed as- sisting. Music was furnished by the Grange Orchestra. We were sorry to lose one of our members, Harold Hatch. This left us with only five members. Our oiiicers were chosen as follows: President-Billy Knight Vice President--Arthur Poitras Secretary-Beatrice Pickering Treasurer-Annette Shepard The three-one act plays presented in the spring were Xingu, When The Fire Dies, and The Ring and The Look. Ann- ette Shepard, and Beatrice Pickering participated in Xingu, Bob Smith in When The Fire Dies, and Bill Knight in The Ring and The Look. Billy, Arthur, and Bob were active in the sports-basketball and baseball. When the Gatherer Staff was chosen we were happy to find that Bob was Boys' Sports Editor, Arthur was Assist- ant Business Managerg Beatrice was Personals Editorg and Annette was Co- Business Manager. On the school paper The Black and The White, under the direction of Mr. Lundquist, Annette was Business Man- ager, Beatrice was Gossip Editor, and Bob Wrote the Boys' Sports column. Arthur and Annette were candidates for King and Queen of Hearts of the Valentine Ball sponsored by the Student Council of which B e atrice was a member. The long awaited Senior Year was here at last. With five lone members we approached graduation on June 5. Billy was chosen President for the fourth consecutive year. Arthur was Vice- President, Bobby, Treasurer, and Beatrice, Secretary. The Gatherer Staff was chosen with Annette as Editor-in-Chief, Beatrice as Senior Reporter, Bob as Boys' Sports Editor, Billy as Assistant Boys' Editor, and Arthur was appointed Business Manager for the second consecutive year. On March 20 we gave an Italian Spaghetti Supper. The senior mothers again graciously donated their time and the junior girls helped us by waiting on tables. With the combined efforts of everyone we made a profit of 33995. April 12 marked the night of the an- nual three one-act plays. Bobby, Billy, and Annette were cast for parts in the play of The Displaced Babysitter and Beatrice took part in the play A Ques- tion of Figures. ' As the long awaited graduation draws near and our school days draw to a close we look fondly back on our fun-loving days at D. I. H. S. Rev. E. Charles Dartnell graciously accepted our invitation to be a guest speaker at our graduation exercises which will be held on June 5 when five lone seniors will become the new alumni of Deer Isle.

12 THE GATHERER junior Class Report Fifteen juniors, six girls and nine boys entered D. I. H. S., September 4. With Mr. Gott as class adviser, we elect- ed the following class oiiicers and stu- dent council members. President--David Robbins Vice President-John Snowden Secretary-Sandra Eaton Treasurer--Carley Torrey Student Council-Sandra Eaton, John Snowden We were very active in sports this year. Ethelda, Deanna, and Sandra were on the basketball team while Audrey, Charlotte and Sandra represented the juniors on the cheerleading squad. On the masculine side of the class, Neville did a very fine scoring job on the var- sity and John, Neville, Charles and Doug were on the baseball team. We outdid ourselves in the magazine Sophomore Twenty-two high-spirited students started their third year in High School this year in September. During the last part of that month, we began to start thinking up ways to torture the poor freshmen at Freshman Reception. Now at last we were having the chance to do the things to them that we had had done to us the previous year. This proved to be a very enjoy- able evening for everyone except the freshmen. They didn't seem to enjoy the egg shampoos, rotten tomato fights and other such things. We ended the event- ful evening by sponsoring a record dance. drive for we took both first and second place in the contest. J-ohn came in first with 382. and Audrey was second with 381.13. Surprisingly enough, we versatile juniors are very literary minded. Five girls are members of the Library Club and eight of the juniors are on the year- book staff. A coalition of the juniors and seniors on the cooked foods and candy booth turned out very well. We made 366.55 which we split evenly. March 15th the junior and senior room was graced by 21 shining new desks. These new desks are the pride and joy of their temporary owners. The year of '57 has been very success- ful. We are sorry to see our friendly enemies, the seniors, leave but we will be glad to take their place as leaders of the school next year. Class Report The next big event for us was the very successful Harvest Festival. The general idea was changed this year to decorating the Town Hall with autumn as a theme instead of each class having their own decorated booth. We sopho- mores chose a horror booth, which was truthfully frightening, and cider and doughnuts as our project. On this we made 320.89. A Harvest Ball was held later in the evening sponsored by the Student Council. This year we were very lucky to have so many members of our class partici- pating in sports and clubs. Among those on the basketball teams were: Evelyn
