DEERING HIGH SCHOOL LENORE MILLS Course : Commercial A spilck and span young lady, with every hair in place, A twinkle in her eye, but demureness in her face. It is rumored that one day when Lenore was obliged to mount a stool, the stool sagged! We can't absolutely vouch for the truth of this report, but our authority was good. KARLETON MOORE Home Course: College Activities: Band: Cadets 1, 2, 3. Hobby: Hunting, fishing. Ambition: To travel. College: M-aine. Dick is a happy-go-lucky sort of fellow that everyone likes. His very smile is contagious. This joyous member of an almost extinct species of humanity declares his happiest hours have been spent in Room 8, where, by his outlandish deportment, he has made himself the bane of Miss Bodge's existence, and at Hoegg Hall, where, by this time, he is known to the habitues of that institution of the terpsichorean art as an oldland. established landmark. As to whether or not to go to college, Dick is undecided. He does not even know what business to enter, though of late he has displayed a marked interest in Mills. NELSON MORRELL Nellie Course: Scientific Activities: Cadets 1, 2, 3, 45 Art Club 3, 45 Geology Club 3, 45 Stu- dent Service 3 4. y Hobby: Skiing. Ambition: To get through college before I'm bald- headed. College: Dartmouth. Nellie is that tall, rangy cadet and ski-jumper that you have seen roaming around the halls for many a long year. Nellie ought to pay Charllie Wilson half a dollar and have his hair bobbed-all the girls are o1ng1t., ARVILLA MORRISON Billie Course: College Activities: Basketball 1, 23 Hiking Club 13 Breccia Board 23 De- bating Club 3, 45 Junior'Sophomore Debate 3, Amethyst Board 4, Washington Club 4g Class Play 4. Hobbies: Tennis, swimming, and driving a car. Ambition: To make a successful teacher. College: Wheaton. Buzz! What's that queer noise? Th-at's Arvilla talking, if you are in the class of '24 at Deering High School you are acquainted, yes, well acquainted, with it. Bacon went down in history as saying the most in the fewest words, Arvill-a will Find her place in the halls of fame, but not for the same reason. The horn-rimmed glasses which you don't see in the picture were bought to kid the teachers into thinking that she was studious, and the letter which you would see in her hand, if you could see her hand, comes from Brunswick. Still, Arvilla is a good sport and we all know it. JOHN MOULTON Johnny Course: Classical Activities: Debating 2, 3 4, Winter Sports 3, 43 Student Service 3, 43 Breccia 43 Class Play. Hobbies: Bird study, music, fishing, hunting. College: Bates. After a long and heated debate, the Amethyst Board decided to print this picture in the Rogue's Gallery, where it does not belong. However, we are almost ashamed to have the world look upon this dis- grace to the class. Since he came to school he has never once cut class, cut assembly, or received an X. When we think of this record fremembering our own X's and sessions in the ofiicel we foam at the mouth and clutch our hair. No loyal Deeringite,' can feel he has done his daily good deed until John has been initiated into the dee lights of a stolen movie or an X.

Twins, Muriel K., Christie L., Dot G., Alice W., Norm-a G., etc., please take notice.D College: Cornell. Salaam, ladies, before the caveman, the male heart-breaker, the Ru- dolph Valentino of the class of 1924. He has never been known to possess less than four vanity-cases at one time. But why such longing for beauty accessories, Irvin, when you are the possessor of so much natural beauty? The pearly teeth, the raven tresses-but there, we must show more self-control. h Then, too, the dark hero of this rhapsody has other charms. He is the personification of good-nature, and he can play football. No wonder we are all glad he belongs to 1924. HAZEL MARS TON Course : Commercial A dillar, a dollar, A ten-o'clock scholar. . We all might be tempted to live in Cumberland for a few months, if we could report at ten o'clock in the morning and thereby have pretty red cheeks and know our lessons. RAYMOND MASON ffRayI! Course: Commercial Activities: Cadets 1, 25 Radio Club 3. Ray is a ladv's man, girls, but don't you worry. It is Westbrook that he is interested in. We do know t at he used to get to school late on the mornings after. Although Ray hasn't taken part in many activities during his stay in D. H. S., yet he has proved himself to be a good all-round fellow, and we hope that he will stay away from Westbrook long enough to graduate with the rest of us. SILAS McLOON Course: Scientific Hobby: Scouting or swimming. Ambition: To become an electrical engineer. College: Massachusetts Institute of Technology. And yet he seemed busier than he was. Silas, valiant member of the Boy Scouts of America, that fitting school for the High School Calioots, never did nobody no harm, because he never got nowhere in time to do nothing. ALI CE MILLER Course: Commercial Hobby: Moving pictures. Ambition: Stenographer. Hooray, Alice! You won't have to make speeches any more if you don't want to. No, siree, not a single one. That bete noir, oral English, will never sadden another Monday for you. If you don't want to talk when you are a stenographer, you won't have to talk. Business- men like them silent.
