STUDENT COUNCIL DELEGATES First Row: Mr. Hamlin, Barbour, J. Grindle. Second Row: R. Snowdon, D. Snowden. Here we are back with the books-, but what a vacation! The combined St.udent Councils of Deer Isle and Stonington put on a Christ- mas Ball at the Stonington gym. The hall was gaily decorated, all the girls dressed in their prettiest gowns, and the dancing lasted until midnight. The business staff has gone right to town and collected nearly all the Gathcrcr ads, and the advisory committee is busy as beavers lining up the book. Freshmen are drooling over the new soph- omore class rings which have arrived, but they'll have to wait another year. Oops, t.here's that buzzer again! Half-time already? And mi-d-year exams? Oh, well, they won't bother me any. I'm some smart! fzbzcffuaallyz SAFETY COUNCIL R. Milan, Claricc Colwell, Claire Colwell, T. Cole L. Kydd, Snowman, Mr. Hamlin The tap for the third quarter! There's a hot time in the old town tonight! Both the boys' and girls' basketball teams beat Ston- ington before a capacity crowd, and I'm some tickled! Six junior girls slipped into evening gowns, and the boys polished their shoes for the iirst formal affair of the year-Junior Prize Speaking. The shaking .under those beautiful gowns wasn't even noticeable, and everyone gained composure before an appre- ciative audience. Roger Godard really made a hit with Horton and won the first prize of S10.00. You'd think the roof was ready to fall by the sounds from the commercial room. The sophomores are banging away on the type- writers and trying to get the second issue of the Black ami White out before Valen- t.ine's Day. They aren't the only industrious ones. Seniors are rushing all over town soliciting and selling tickets for the scallop-stew sup- F1-Cshmgn Eighth Graders Seventh Graders WIS. 'ii-W-fWfLTfI!!,'i5E!iWPJf I -Aelifsififif?:iQc5?i:

They must have had an exciting time with all the celebrities, listen- ing in on discussions and talks on safety and the highway, and enjoying the dance. A great deal was gained from the trip to Portland for the State Student Council Con- ference. Judy Barbour, Judy Grindle, Dar- rell Snowden, and Dickie Snowden were chosen to go. While there, they heard dis- tinguished speakers and were able to par- ticipate in workshops, where discussions were held. Two valuable days were spent there. Look at those boys fight! By golly, we've won our first basketball game without much trouble. I say that we'll get a berth in the tournament this year. Peggy an-d Darrell, the Independent and Democratic candidates, can now relax after hearing that Bob was chosen Mayor follow- ing a week of campaigning. Bob appears poised, and my bet is that he's looking for- ward te olliciating around school and taking charge of assemblies. I haven't been able to get through the mob to see the senior photographs, but by their faces I would say seniors are pretty pleased. I caught a glimpse of Ilichard's. What a doll! Juniors are busy learning selections for the Junior Prize Speaking semi-finals to be Judged by the faculty and directed by Miss Gross. They'd better get busy, because Gathmeff- assignments will soon be passed out too. Last day of school before vacation, and Christmas parties in all homerooms! I haven't had so much fun in ages. And to think that everyone received a gift, as well as plenty of food! The teachers presented a big black-and-white banner to the students, right in time for basketball games. We've never had one before, and were we sur- prised! Ilirvest Fair Seniors juniors fliirst Prizeli Sophomore-5 Nl

Hungry? per. The proceeds will be added to a fund for the senior class trip. Mr. Glen Rodgers, who now lives in Havre De Grace, Maryland, has invited the seniors there during April vacation and has provided lodgings for everyone. Leave it to faithful Mr. Ilodgersl I believe Miss Gross is getting smothered! The Grzflierw' pictures arrived, and she's the most popular girl in school. It's lucky these things don't happen every day. Anyone for some money T The Island Chamber ol' Commerce is sponsoring an essay contest on the subject. Why Deer Isle Needs a Chamber ol' Commerce. Anyone in high school may submit essays. and a few students are taking advantage of the oppor- tunity. l'll die ol' heart failure il' this continues much longer. Oh, no! We've lost in a sudden death. To think that we beat the Mustangs twice in the regular season only to lose in the play-oil! Strip film today? We won! We won and we're going to Ban- gor! !! The ball started rolling after We beat Brooks at Ellsworth. Cheerleaders made new pompoms and a hoop for the boys to crash through before starting their warm-up ses- sion. A rally was held to give the boys a good send-oif. Why couldn't they get going? They played better than that against Brooks. It was an- other loss to Mount Desert., but we were proud that Deer Isle got into the tournament anyway. They showed good sportsmanship and won two glittering trophies for being Hancock County Champs and for beating the Waldo County Champs. lncidentally, the girls shouldn't be over- looked. They nearly beat Husson twice, and they won two victories from lillsworth, plus wins over smaller schools. Their average of sixty points per game was pretty high for girls' play.
