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.

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.

School: Portland University. Here's the class poet! When youlre sending your best girl albox of Haven's, or maybe some Howers, get Jerry to compose one of his little masterpieces for you to enclose. Only be SURE not to tell her who wrote it, because Ierry's poetry is irresistible! He adorns all his cune ning little class pictures with works of poetic 'art-and now we fear for Milton's supremacy. VIRGINIA POOLE Gi1mia Course: General Hobby: Dancing. Ambition: To get rich quick. School: Gorham Normal. Now, don't crowd, everybody! This is not Mary Pickford. It's Virginia Poole. But we asure you she's just as sweet and winsome and smiling as the popular actress she resembles. And her disposition is just as sunny as her curls. She didn't compete for the honor of being Miss Portland, but Ive'd take a chance on her being Miss Deering High, and th'at'S twice as good. FRANCIS PUTMAN ffPutJJ Course: Scientihc Activities: Cadets 13 Band 1, 3, 49 Cadet Band 2, 3. Hobbies: Music and Chemistry. Stop! Look! Listen! Here's a boy who is sedate, silent, steady, and studious! It's a rare combination, we admit, but it's true.

Ambition: To be a professional accompanist. College: Gray's Business College. Throughout her whole four years at Deering Amy has been more or less of a shining star, but it took a sophomore class picnic really to bring her into prominence. Remember that, Amy? She has had a most versatile career, having done everything from posing as a Malay to editing this, our Amethyst, which latter position she has filled admirably. In spite of her participation in so many activities, however, Amy has managed to complete her high school course with an honor rlzlnlg besides a host of friends, who wish her every possible success in t e uture. CORA RICKER HC-Uv Course : College Hobby: Making candy. Ambition: To be a piano accompanist. College: Earlham. Cora has two prominent characteristics: her curls and her giggles. In the middle of a recitation, especially Latin, one is quite apt to hear her vainly trying to smother a giggle. Cora for some reason quite un- known to us, has a great fondness for South Portland. Who is it, Co? Next year she plans to attend E-arlham. We donyt need to wish you success, Corag we know you'll have it.
