S. in 13 years DEERING HIGH SCHOOL 7 The Dedication of the Deering High School I A rare and pleasant duty has befallen the Class of 1923, namely, the dedication of the new high school building. The dedication was unique inasniudh as it was done entirely by the pupils, who consecrated it to the service of the pupils, and city. Thomas llraman, president of the Senior Class, presided. He introduced Osmon Plumer, who offered prayer. Then Jean llrown told what an ideal school should be. This gave all the pupils a standard to live up to. Roger Ray gave the dedicatory address in a masterful way. Representatives from our neighboring schools in Portland, South Portland, and Westlmrocmk, all wished us as much good luck in our school as they possibly could. VV e were especially favored to have M r. Fred Dudley and Neal Allen honor us with their presence. We owe much to the men on this commission for their un- tiring efforts. To Mr. XVing belongs our sincerest thanks, for he put his most ardent labors into the planning of this beautiful building. The purpose of the assembly was to extend the deepest thanks to the pupils to the commission and to the citizens of Portland for the new building. Last of all, the aim was to dedicate the building to a real purpose-service. Our Deering was sung and the assembly was a matter of history. , -V i, 7 mg 5 IETHYST B DA RD '-1 THE AB EPlCOR'll'7'CHlEF f SCDIOPQ GLH5 LMDER CLHS ORGHDIZHOOD HCHLCLXE EDXCOR C JUS1C EPICOR UEBBCIDG CDICOPL BRL CDICOR GRIDD EVICOK HRC HUUISOR SGHOOL CLUBS LICERHRY EP PICCUR6 EMCOR HLUFDDI EUICOR FHCULLY BUSINESS DQR BDUERCISIUG OGR .f-lL.,..... 411 .'..,acL NECHYS EDICORS DRS 19g,5 SED1 S 1 CD ICOR u.,..,.,.,. .. g,p'.Lwi..-.ux lj Q -L ,K Lf U Inna. 1.1.-4.. jlzw 1' .J 1.54- vfh., 'fx' -Gy, .f A . ,..0f..

Leola Chaplin is one of those who once puts her hands to the plough, never turns back. A thing once started, she faithfully finishes and finishes well. We notice. no matter how dry the subject is, Frances Hughes always succeeds in interesting her little Freshmen in English. Miss Glover is one of the quiet sort, yet she takes the interest of everyone to heart. In the future many of the Freshmen will look back and see how faithfully Mrs. Quimby guided them over the rough and rocky paths of English. lf you ever want anything done thoroughly, just call on Edith Pitt, she never does anything by halves. The light-haired, smiling girl in the office is Jvanrtto Lamont, a friend to all. especially to the boys. .flrlooiio Farnlzaim is rather hard to get acquainted with, but when you do, you find she is just bubbling over with fun. flda Boll IXVUIIIIUH is as quiet as a mouse, and if wc did not see her physically, we'd never know she was about. lf anyone ever really was endowed with the gift of l'atiM1z'f', it is Nellie lllilliken. Literally speaking, she has the patience of old job. ln Catharina l'Vooa'bury we find kindness and gentleness personified, qualities which everyone admires. Many of us in critical situations often long for the keen sense of wit and dry humor of which Ethel Bradford is the sole possessor. We all know that if it wasn't for Alive Hall, our nurse, many of us would not be here. Miss Hall is always willing to give us advice concerning our health. Lila Paul is always calm and composed. We find it takes a great deal to ruffle her feathers. llfillvort lfV0l'l'l'l1 has made Spanish a popular subject this year with many Seniors. VVe wish him the best of luck in the future and hope he will never forget D. H. S. We never hear Ethel Bl'lldblll':V,S voice ringing down through the corridors be- cause she is very quiet spokeng yet we know that all she says is worth while. Many people ask who that young man is who has the sparkling eyes and seems almost a student when around the corridors. If any student wants pep, just sign up for Chemistry and introduce yourself to Mr. Carroll Bean, because Chem- istry and pep mix like brothers. Eleanor Cross is far from what her name implies. In fact, she is a good sport. VVe notice she is ever present at all the school activities. No matter what Helm llfynzan undertakes we have no fears whatever but what she is perfectly capable to carry out. If you ever feel blue just go to Form' Ross. In the company of such a lively person you will surely feel in better spirits in a very short time. This is Miss Yeaton's first year with us and we find she possesses great musical talent, but her shyness and modesty does not permit her to broadcast the fact. The task of training the Freshmen falls to Ralph Bragdon. It is a task which he is capable of performing with perfect ease. DEERING HIGH SCHOOL 11 Raymond Crawford is our musical director, but he is also artistic, artistic musically, and Artistic Otherwise. Bernice True is true blue, and it would be hard to find' a more pleasant and agreeable person than she. In her kind, quiet way she accomplishes more than many who make a big noise. Ralph Rowe has been with us many years. It would seem almost impossible for the Commercial department to get along without him. In all our year's experience with him, we have perceived he is stout-hearted. We notice the cadets are much better now than they have been for the past few years and we must congratulate Elton Feeney, our new cadet officer. The way the cadets march seems to us that Mr. Feeney must have a good motto, Do it the best you can and watch the results of your endeavor. We make a toast to you, Mr. Ochanzpangh, To the man who has done so much for D. H. S. athletics. Those who know and understand will find this fitting and proper, those who do not, will have to interview him personally. p Mr. Jewell is the man with a king's disposition, and that most gracious smile which puzzles most people, but when you get acquainted, well, you know that one about, A friend in need- A great many people would say that woodworking and music do not mix, but N r. Hanson has proved to ns they will, because many of his pupils are members of the boys' glee club. Ralph Young is known throughout the school for his executive ability. If the school always has someone as good as he, it need never worry about the financial records. fone Hustoiz isa very little body, not of the talkative type, yet she is always busy, and it would be hard to find her idling away golden minutes. We thoroughly realize those who selected Brooks Quimby for our Debating coach surely were 'attending to their business. If talking is a requirement for the kingdom of heaven, we know Mr. Quimby need have no fears of arriving at his destination. All-round is the word that describes Louise Deasy. She is an excellent teacher, a good sport, and a wonderful chaperone, as many who went on the liar Harbor and Washington trips will say. It has been hard for the class of twenty-five to find a more conscientious teacher at Deering than Elizabeth Hayes. She has tried hard and has put her very best in every class, and we'll say she is well rewarded with the results. Some people are as variable as the winds, but in M iss Hoxic we find a kind, quiet, reserved, steadfast teacher g one who is just the same today, tomorrow, and forever. llfinnibol Gofwcr has been a sweet, thoughtful, and helpful librarian to the class of twenty-five. She is noted for her helpfulness and serviceg she lovingly and willingly serves alike every student in the whole Deering High School. All those who have had the privilege of studying French with M im Dolley are to be envied. She is bright, quick to detect fun, and ever willing to laugh at a good joke. A more interesting and better chaperone than Williaifiz Eimnons yet remains to he found. Mr. Emmons is frank and sincere, he works for our interests and pleasures. It would not be well for anyone to speak ill of him in the presence of any true Deeringite. Mr. Flack is the only one of our faculty we do not understandg one day so good, the next-well, if we did, we would not enjoy having him for a teacher. That's the spirit, keep them all in suspense. 12 THE AMETHYST lf it were not for Lzmdlzolnfs fatherly advice. where would we be today? Lundy can advise us what to do for anything. His lectures Cin Civics classj are better than mostlof us ever heard. Mr. Vinal is the Ace of Aces of D. H. S. Always here, always there, with a willing hand to help everyone. The man with an infinite smile, which reminds us of the song, Have a smile for everyone you meet. He is the highest in our athletic world. Many of the Seniors will miss the Physics classes which were so interesting. VVe often wonder how many of the funniest thing l ever saw Mr. Mortgridga has seen. We'll guess about one a week. They're the best we have heard for many a moon. Carrie Stahl has the best interest of all at heart. She reminds us of the Lady in the shoe who had so many children she didn't know what to do. Mrs. Lilzsrolt has been at Deering off and on for many years and our experience with her reveals that she mingles well with both students and teachers. She, too, is witty, jolly and makes a good companion. ily their fruits ye shall know them surely applies to Jenn lflfclslz, our public speaking and dramatic teacher. Miss VVelsh puts her whole heart and soul into her work, and when we know of anything she is putting across we feel sure it will always be a great success, which is her due reward. Not only do we find her an excellent, capable teacher and coach. but also a good sport and kind friend. Words are inadequate to express our high esteem, love. and gratitude towards Gladys Tilton. She not only is an interesting teacher, but also has a delightful personality. Iler kind, gentle ways and fun, wit. and humor has pulled her students through many a long, trying period. Her days are never so short but what she can hnd time to help each and everyone in need of her assistance. The memory of Miss Tilton will linger in our minds long after we're old and grey. lt really seems as though the one who coached a girls' championship basketball team really deserves a little credit and praise. Although llliss McKcrhnit' is soft spoken, pleasant, amiable, and a great favorite, she maintains a firm hand which, as her duty as Dean of the girls, guides and steers the girls from the rough and jagged rocks onto the calm, deep blue sea of life. Anyone tSeniors especiallyl who does not know .eltlvlilidv Briggs does not realize what a great pleasure they have missed. Her keen sense of humor, ever- ready wit, and sunny disposition has helped us through many a long, tedious hour and weary day. Words are such poor things to express what we feel towards Miss Cheney, a true example of fidelity and loyalty. She is an inspiring teacher, ever-ready to give kindly advice. and is a good counsellor to all in doubt: in short, she is the srlwol girls' and boys' friend. Mr. .flrzzd Linsrolz' has been with us many years and those who are really ac- quainted with him knows he has an infinite supply of jokes. These always brighten the class and make the hour enjoyed. We may well say, He's our friend. Last, but not least, is our honored and respected principal, Willia111 E. lflfiug. He is the faithful shepherd watching his flock or the helmsman at the ship, guard- ing and guiding us into paths of safety. The burden of responsibility rests on his shoulders, and we know it must take a great deal of tact to get along and be agree- able with everybody. The class of twenty-five sincerely feels grateful for his kind, protecting guidance during our four happy years at Deering. Samoa wumu mm-La 14 THE AMETHYST The Senior Class President, THOMAS G. BRAMAN Vice-President, MADELEINE JOHNSON Secretary, ELVA GERRISH Trcasurcff, PERCIVAL GUPTILL Can it be? Four years ago a herd of freaks, oddities, and monstrosities- shipped originally for the kindergarten-was unloaded at the Woodfords Con- gregational Church, for Deering High had burned and did not yet have the seem- ing capacity to hold those green freshiesf' We stayed at the church for about a month, and then went to the Longfellow Grammar School for classes. Oh. no! We did not go back into the grammar school work, but attended that school for our regular classes in the afternoon until the school we were a part of, or supposed to be a part of, would be large enough and ready for our little army. How different we were then :-the girls with their hair in pig-tails, and wearing large bright- colored ribbons. The boys wore short pants, and looked scrubbed to death. Now think of the change! Little did we know on that day that we gathered in the vestry of the church for our schedules that our four years would be so short, and how hard they would be for some of us. We were so frightened that our teachers could hardly hear the meek Yes, Sirf, or Yes, Mani. Finally, we overcame this habit and became rather wise, or so we thought, anyway. Probably our parents can tell you better of this, for I am sure they all remember that awfully trying age,', as they call it, when we were freshies. As had been the custom for many years, we were given our reception at City Hall by those dignified, and awe-inspiring Seniors. They made us wear bright green bows on our head, while the boys wore green caps. There is one thing certain, we were in the lime-lights that night. There were many other good times during this year, too, among them the numerous Freshman parties. Mr. Stoddard made these parties a delight. Our second year we took our revenge on the Freshmen, and had them scared to death. This was only a bit of childishness, which, to you present Sophomores, we are proud to say we have outgrown! Take the hint, tool Now we come to our junior year, and may it be remembered that we, as the Junior class, were one of the finest ones any high school had ever known. We were proud of this, but did not allow it to puff us up in such -a fashion that we could not keep up our good name. It made us full of a desire to give and to do our very best for old Deering. There were. of course, some oddities, but there must be some of those so that the class may hold its personal distinguishment! We took part in every activity there was to take part in. The glee club, orchestra, carnival, prize-speaking contest. debaters, cadets, and athletes were most successful in every way, due to the backing of our class! Why, we even had three officers in the cadets,-and they were not all second lieutenants, either! DEERING HIGH SCHOOL 15 Now we have come to our Senior year. Of course, this is our best. The Seniors have had many things to make them truly distinguished. We are the first class to graduate from the new Deering High School. This is a fact of which we are proud: then, too, we dedicated the building. The dedication of the gym was another affair which the class of 1925 had a part. The Seniors have had a good school spirit: they have attended games, cheered, and supported whatever activities belonged to the school. Travel has been an aspiration of 1925: they realized this ambition when they took their delightful trip to Washington. They were accompanied by Miss Deasy and Mr. Emmons, chaperones. The class play. Twig of the Thorn. was an unusual production, and one which we were proud of. It was dainty and very artistically done. Much credit was due Miss -lean Welsh, our coach. This year has been a happy one. May we long remember this last year with memoirs fond and tender. 'blohnnyi' Frates and his pal, Larry Joe Canon, have done a great deal for old Deering. They have made letters galore, not for the sake of getting them, but for Deering. May these be many more. Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Waldo Harwood, Wyman Kemp. Red VVilliamson, Bullet Guptill. Long John Silver, Al Fitch, Nicholas Hodgman, and Tommy Braman are all heroes of various fields in athletics. Probably one of the grittiest athletes Deering has ever known is Funny Doug- lass. otherwise named Dorrance. fThe latter seems too dignified, so please do not use it ll He has been faithful to the end, and just because of a broken nose, or a broken rib, he did not give up, and refuse to play in the game. Instead, he played most willingly when he should have been in the hospital. He is a real hero, and one we're most proud of, but why shouldn't we be? Let's have lots more spirit like this. Another one of our heroes is Don Bailey. Don has taken active part in all our sports. and this year, because he was ineligible, he did not lose interest in ath- letics. instead he helped coach our teams every afternoon, so Don deserves much credit for the success of your teams. For our girls we have Cat Davis, one of the best all-round girls any school has ever known. This year she was captain of the championship team, and it was largely due to Cat that the team was so victorious. She has won a place in the heart of everyone, and has not become a strutting peacock because of it. Cat has received a great amount of support from Lois Johnstone, Rachel Baker, Christine Jordan, Estella Draper, Muriel Holmes, Florence Eveleth. and Isabel Godley. These girls have done more than their bit for Deering: each possesses a fine character, and they are fine examples for everyone of you under- classmen to follow. Louise Bates may be small, but she surely can make herself heard. She, Eugenia Southard, and John Cooper have won many debates for Deering. Why not? They are Seniors, so it is no more than is expected of them. The Jordon Twins-Separated. 16 THE AMETHYST All in all, there is not one single person in our class who has not done his bit in some field of work that Deering offers for its pupils. Some are students, some athletes, some debaters, some dramatists, some writers, some Latinists. and some are regular Frenchmenl If you will not believe us, ask Miss Briggs, and I am sure that she will give you a most favorable report of our work in her French classes. One day she said that we deserved gold medals for our hard endeavor! 4 What have we the Senior Class? Students-Of course! Athletes-More than one could count! Debaters-The best in the world! Spirit-None better the world o'er! Life-Full of it! Now as we go out into this world of ours, may we continue to be an inspiration to everyone else the way we know we have been to our younger brothers and sis- ters. Above all, do not forget the spirit, heroes. heroines. or anyone in the distinguished class of 1925. FAREWELL, DEAR DEERING IN TEN YaARs Wx-3 SEE By CATHERINE DAVIS 'Tis a sad farewell, dear Deering, As we Seniors must soon depart, But wherever we roam, whatever we do, Ye'll always have first choice in our heart. Four glorious years we have had with thee In study and in play: And 'though we search the whole world 'round, Tlgly equal ne'er could be found in many a av. And now. dear Deering, as June draws nigh, And the last of our school days Hee, May we graduate with and forever retain, The fondest memories of thee. MAYFLOWERS By CHAR1.or'r1-1 MILLWARD l wandered through the woods one day, E'er the frost had left the ground, And beneath some leaves and pieces of twigs Some beautiful Howers I found. They-had dull green leaves, and twining vines, And blossoms of delicate hueg And I knew they had a purpose, So I gathered all in view. They brought comfort to the weary, They gave happiness and cheer To those whose lives were burdened With heavy loads of care. They told the message of Springtime, That summer was on its wayg And made each heart grow lighter, More happy, and more gay. Osmon.P1umer-A minister. Steve Colby--Business manager of Hip- podrome.

In other words, she's a girl of decision. Her gentle ways and pleasing smile have won friendships. THOMAS G. BRAMAN 'T0mmy Gettin Achievements: Football 3, 45 Baseball 2. 3, 49 Basketball 2, 3: Pres- ident Class 4g Yearbook Cabinet 45 Property Mgr. Class Play. Ambition: To be a lawyer. Who would have thought four years ago that this red-haired son of Nathan Clifford School would become president of the Senior Class of Deering High Schooll During Tom's career at this school he has specialized in letters. His col ection consists of two football letters, two basketball letters, three baseball letters, and many other kinds of letters. Tom is a good student in class and a real pal and a dandy fellow outside of the classroom. We wish him success at Bowdoin and in whatever he undertakes. GARDINER BRIDGE Curley Achievements: Senior Underclass Editorg Class Track -lg Class Buses ball 4. Ambition: To be able to talk in Public Speaking Class like Cicero did in the Forum. Although Gardiner was with us his Sophomore year, he was not very well known until this year. But whether this sudden popularity is due to his winning manners or not, we do not know. Could anyone inform us? However, we do know that he has a marcel wave that is the envy oi many maidens who would gladly give an of their possessions for such a wave. Among his many attractions, flardiner possesses a drawl that is somewhat Southern and altogether pleasing. We don't know how far Gardiner could get on his knowledge of Geometry, but feel sure that in whatever he attempts in the future, he will he successful.

Although modest, she is always willing to help in an emer- gency. You will End her at hand when you need her most. Dorothy has never received public praise or honor, yet she will always remain in the hearts of her classmates as one who was a true friend and a loyal booster of dear old Deering High. BARBARA BUCKNAM Bob Achievements: Usher Class Play. Ambition: To be a dietitian. Here's to the quiet young lady who calls herself Barbara! She may be very unobtrusive and demure, but she'.s all rightn! Yes, sir! We'll all vouch for that. And in Oral English who is it that marches confidently down the aisle and delivers the oration that keeps up the reputation of the Class? Why, Barbara Bucknam, of course! DEERING HIGH SCHOOL Wt, . Ti 'r ,, MARJORIE BURROUGHS Ambition: To go to Gorham Normal. This young lady came from Morrill's Grammar School. We hope we get some more like her. Quiet? Not .so you would notice it. We wonder how she likes Oak Hill for a sleigh ride. ln her striped dress we can always see her from a distance. ood luck to you, Marjorie. VESTA BUSTIN Becky Ambition: To be able to do Typewriting. Vesta is one of those quiet girls who never make much noise. VVe hear that she makes enough when she can't get her typewriter to go fwrite rightl. Well, Vesta, we wish you luck in everything you do in years to come and we hope that typewriter will go. ELEANOR BUTLER MIX and sift together a pound of responsibility, a dash of tact and a cup of good humor. Add some loyalty and season with a generous bit of wit. The result? Why, Eleanor Butler, of course. She is one of the friendliest girls in D. H. S. She has taken part in many activities, both in and outside of school. She is very amh.tious and we know she will have success in whatever she attempts. RIETA CAMPBELL Ski Rieta is our genuine Maine Maid student. Frail of form, hut fair of face. she has captured the hearts of all who know her. She hails from a picturesque little village on the Penobscot, and woe unto hm who speaks disparagingly of that imperial little Oueen City. Her most admirable and friend-gathering qual.ty is her delightful modesty. That ilonevwill win success for her. Hail. then, to Rieta. an honor to any scioo . LAWRENCE A.

Ambition: To sneeze three times in succession. Larry is another one of those boys from Clifford. You want to hear Joe sing Old Black Joe. He has a very strong voice. It goes from notes below his knees. But all joking aside, Joe is one of the best athletes in the School and has been ever since he was a darling freshman. Even if Mater wouldn't let you play football at first. you won out in the end. Perhags she didn't go to all the football games? ? Joe has played baseball, asketball, and football for two years. l'll tell you he has the goods right in him that will boost Old Deering. 0 THE AMETHYST MARY CARSON Achievements: English Club 1. 2: French Club 2, -ll tilee Club 1, 2, -lg Spanish Club 4: Vice-Pres.

EARLE CHRISTIANSEN Achievements: Passed Public Speaking. Ambition: He won't tell. We hoped that somebody might supply ns with a snappy gossip in regard to l'hris, which we in turn might broadcast Chris is a chap of which little is known among us. He comes and goes as the daylight hours, from whence and whither, nobody knows. He is a quiet. bashful, even-tempered youth. Along radio lines he is wcll versed. Lately, in Mr. Quimby's class, he has distinguished himself as a prime-minister in Parliament. STEPHEN H.

LOIS JOHNSTONE JLOU Achievements: Basketball 1, 3, 4, Mgr. 4, N. H. S. -19 Editor-in- chief Yearbook 45 Vice-Pres. Washington Club :lg Committee for Class Play 4: French Club 4. Ambition: To graduate from college. It is h-ard in writing a grind about Lois to refrain from using super- latives. In every way throughout her four years at Deering she has proved herself a capable and efficient leader in every line of work or play. There is an old saying that the more one does, the more one can do. Th s certainly applies to Lois. Basketball, the Yearbook and other activities didn't keep her from running away with the highest scholastic honors a school can bestow. Lois has often been called the ideal irl, and now, Lois, we all certainly wish you the best of luck in tolli 4 md the reatest success and ha iness in all that ou un- ' gb 5 H - - 3 PP ' Y dertake hereafter. CHRISTINE L. JORDAN 'Chris Twiunic ' Achievements: Orchestra 1, 2, 3, Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4: Breccia Board Kmusic cditorl. Ambition: To succeed in what I do. To Chris of the Cooldy locks: In athletics she's a wonder, Offices she's held a score, And if one should name her conquests, Ten or twelve there'd be, or more, So we'lI tell you how she vamps 'em, Perhaps you've known it all the while. Just watch the way they have of falling For her millionedollar smile. EVELYN JORDAN E1 ' T'wi1mie Frow.vie Achievements: Basketball 1, 2, 3: Glee Club 2, 33 Exchange Editor of Breccia 4. Ambition: To do what others can't do. The other side of the Jordan house is Evelyn. She has done much to make our l!reccia a success. We hear that Ev belongs to a promising young orchestra called the Riots It would be a riot if Ivelyn were there. we think. Well, anyway, Ev is a mighty good class- mate and a jolly good friend. KENNETH JORDAN Ambition: To graduate. , ' Here he is entle reader aze umon him! For we ma never have ll S L Y the pleasure of gazing upon,his sunny countenance again.

Ambition: To be a private secretary. Marie is a modest, shy, retiring miss, but nevertheless, she is always Johnny-on-the-spot when one has need of her. Always cheerful and smiling-she is, in fact, a real beam of sunshine. Marie tells us she intends to go to Boston University and train to be a private secretary. Bon voyage, Marie! WYMAN F. KEMP Tarzan Bluz'I:ear'd Achievements: Cadets 1, 2: Football 2, 3, 4: Glee Club 33 D Club J, 4. Ambition: To make wise cracks as well as Stubhy can. Here we have him- Le Petit Chose, Tarzan Kemp-a man who needs no introduction to any Deeringite. Wyman has many ch-arac- teristics, among them his curly locks, his height and his executive ability. This stocky little lad is somewhat of a cave-man, and began his career in his freshman days by training animals, especially Cat fsJ. On football days, Bayside rings with cheers for Tarzan Kemp, and we hope that when he gets to college he will continue his fine work on the gridiron. ELEANOR KENNEDY rrEkien Achievements: Yearbook Board 4: Washington Club 4. Ambition: To be a teacher. Love I? Koose we does. Who could help loving our jolly little Ekie ? We hear that Ekic is planning to go to boarding school. Can you imagine her as a kindergarten teacher? Yet that is what she intends to bc. And if she is as jolly and pleasant a teacher as she has been a classmate, we know the kiddies will adore her. She has studied very hard during her high school days, and we sincerely wish the future of our studious little class- mate to be filled to overflowing with happiness and good luck. MILDRED KEZAR We all knew Molly pretty well up to this year, but we haven't seen so much of her lately. No, she hasn't deserted us, but she's inclined to be a ten-o'clock scholar. Perhaps the reason for her tardiness is that she has been working on her latest poem. She did lay aside this work long enough to take very successfully, a part in the Class Play. We certainly wish Molly luck, and we hope to see some of her poetry in the Book of Famous Poets. ' DOROTHY KIDDER Dorn Kidder Achievements: Orchestra 13 Gym 4: Class Play Usher. Ambition: To be a Sax artist. Saxophone, did you say? Why, we have the dandiest saxophone player you ever heard right here in the class of '25! Why. of course, it's Dot Kidder! We can't decide, Dot, whether we like you best with curls or with a hob. We think that you're well on your way toward realizing your ambition. DEERING HIGH SCHOOI MERIAL KNEELAND 'KNCHZQFY' Achievement: No reputation. Ambition: NOT to be a school-teacher. Has anyone ever seen Meriel Kneeland when she wasn't in the bcst of spirits and smilingly happy? Merial is one of the girls for whom Life goes along with a song, and we don't believe she knows how to be sad. Teaching is her chosen profession, and we certainly wish her the ver best of luck. But, my friends. can you imagine Merial as a schooliteacher? We hope, Merial. that you will always make friends as easily in the future as you have in the past, and that you'll be able to help them the same then as now. CHRISTY LAFFIN Achievements: Glee Club 2, Ambition: No ambition. The allegory of this intrepid young miss may be epitomized rather concisely. She is quite vivaciousg at any rate, she is not phlegmatic. She could easily inveigle anybody to like ber, as she is so fascinating at times. She irradiates any place that she is in, as she. is one of the few blessed with a thatch of carrot-tinted. hair. There is some doubt as to whether or not she is a philanthropic young lady. At any rate. we have great faith iu her ability. NORTON H. LAMB NlJl'fj! Achievements: Cadets 1, 2: Baseball 1, 2, 35 Orchestra 1, 2, Jig D Club 1, 2, 3, -I: Basketball 2, 3, 43 Hockey fig Gym. Ambition: To do something in the world. lluring Norton's Hrst years in school he was very prominent in aths letics, and he still wields a mighty 'cello bow, often serenading Myrtle on a stilly night. A cheerful bit of advice for Norty is to keep his super-natural fiivver. under-lock and key hereafter if he doesn't want to worry. Ask himhif he likes to ride the chute-the-chutes between East Sebago and Richvillel He's quiet and unassuming, but is he popular? Oh, my, yes! MAURICE LANE Burk Achievements: Band and Orchestra. We think of Maurice as a jolly good fellow who is rather quiet, usu- ally very much in earnest. but occasionally given to a humorous remark. Maurice is musical, and has played in our orchestra. He has played both loud and strong, and has been a great support, wise and otherwise. It is rumored that he has a musical position for next year. We do not know whether it will be in Sousa's B-and or in a symphony orchestra, but we are very sure it is with one or the other. Heres to your suc- cess, Maurice! ALFRED W. LA PIERRE AI Flash Zip Achievements: Football: Baseballg Track, Hockey. Ambition: To talk as fast as Mr. Flack. We never noticed Al much, although he was a big addition to the baseballvteam. .until he made two touchdowns in one football game. and youll admit thats a record, even for a senior. We also would like to say that we think his purple sweater is very becoming to him. THE AMETHYST it - H 3. 2. LAVERNA l.EAVI'l l' Achievements: Art Club. Ambition: To he a brunette.

Although his stature and appearance may not betray it, Mae is a real descendant of the great Scottish chief, VVilliam Vl'allace. and he deserves our just praise. He is quiet and shy, but a deep and clear thinker. NVallaee's positions outside the school are ample proof of the confidence people place in him. And what is more, he does not possess that customary Scottish heredity. VVQ know that your career in li. N. S. and your work as teacher will bc illustrious.

Why, may I ask you, have we not the right to boast? just behold our class, which most proudly has the record of being the largest, best, and most honorable class C there being over 200 in numberl that has ever entered Deering High School. Again, may I ask you. why have we not the right to boast? The first half of our Freshman year we were all Al students! Of course we expect you to understand the latter statement correctly. The ofiicers chosen for our Freshman year were as follows: President. Richard Johnsong Vice-President, Mary Smallg Secretary. Ruth Kennedy: Treasurer, Arnold Boyce: Executive Board. Helen Spear, Virginia Knight and Kenneth Macomber. We had several parties in Crosby Hall during this year under the charge of Mr. Stoddard. These 'were very enjoyable affairs and were enjoyed by all, and threw us together in such a way that we soon became acquainted. We entered with a bang into all the school activities, such as debating. dramatics, and athletics. As we had to go to school in the afternoon not many went out for sports, but Arnold lloyce certainly surprised us all by being assistant in football. We also took part in the Winter Carnival, held for the first time. and carried ol? many honors. This year we also displayed our talent in the dramatic line by giving a play en- titled, Sally Ann Finds llerselff' The cast was as follows: Sally Ann ......................... ......................................,........ l luth l-Iawbolt Miss Foster ....... .............. E lsie Emery Vivian ............. ........ R uth Woodhill Esther ........... ...... D orothy Jones Frances ........ ........., I Dorothy Dean Marie ........ .......... M arion Simpson Tom ...... ...... M anley Littlefield Bill ......... ........... R ussell Baker Ted ........ ................................................ .......... L i ncoln Hall Jack ....... . ............................................................ Weston Rankin Coach, Miss Woodbury Our Sophomore year, too, our class held its good reputation by having a time debating team, and by giving an excellent Latin play. This was considered fine enough to be given before the teachers at the Teachers' Convention at Portland High School, and then it was given before our teachers, parents, and friends at Deering High School: bo-th times there was a good crowd, and thus you see that it was worth seeing. Last year we had a real chance to show our ability in music, and it went off well. considering the fact that it was our first real chance to show our talent in this line. Then, too, we did our bit in athletics last year, for we had Arnold Boyce, Kenneth McDuH'ie, Arthur Baker, and Alfred Lapierre out working for the school. We did well in dramatics, debating and winter sports. This year has been most successful in every way, and our class is one to be proud of, so do not blame us if you see us with our heads in the air, or our chests putted DEERING HIGH SCHOOL 51 out. We have reasons for these, have we not? If you do not believe us, it would be well for us to tell you of our achievements, would it not? First, look at the girls' glee club 5 there are thirty members of this that are Juniors, and I dare say that this is the majority of the organization. Dorothy Hansen has a sweet soprano voice, which we are proud to have in our class. The boys' glee club consists of many members of our class, in fact, most of them belong to Mr. Hansen's famous quartet. Then. too. the orchestra is good for one reason, and one only, and that is because ten of our classmates play in it: that is why we have received so many compliments this year. This is a fine showing for our class. and we are willing to admit it. Our school paper will be much better than any other next year, for we have a very competent Brcrria Board, and we are sure that they will show the teachers, friends, and students what a real school paper is, and may we live up to the ideals of our teachers in so doing. In athletics the boys that made their letter in football are: Kenneth MacDuffie, Harold Alward. Stanley Frost, Arnold lloyce. Walter Riley and Arthur llaker. Kenneth MacDuff1e is captain for next year, because of his splendid work during the year. In track our class is well represented with star performers: Warren lllocklinger, Walter Riley, John Stanley, Elliot Marshall, Kenneth McCardy. ln hockey there was Stanley Frost, who was goal tender: Arthur Baker. center: John Howland, wing, and many others who got into the games. As baseball has just opened it looks as if many more boys will get their letters. A In the girls' basketball many stars shone out during the season. Among those that did are Norma Grover, llelen Gunderson, Frances Johnson. For the cap- taincy for next year it looks like a big contest between the three outstanding stars. Also the girls' team went through their season undefeated and our class seems honored by having three members on this team. ln class basketball, conducted by Mr. Yinal, a new interest sprang up and many turned out to support their classes. ln doing this many new lights were shown that looked good for next year. And in closing. do you not agree by now that the class of 1926 is the largest. best and most honorable? -F1N1s- Wlc Wonmeu Wnvz- Ruth Kennedy likes to be near XVaterfsJ? .Xrnold lloyce always hands in his papers typewritten?

ADAMS Most people feel that the responsibility for the success or failure of a photograph rests entirely with the man who makes it. As regards its technical and artistic excellence, this is true, but there are many ways in which a sitter may uninten- tionally, and unwittingly, thwart a photographers best efforts, and the following suggestions, resulting from twenty-five years' experience, are offered in the hope that they may prove helpful. Psychology or attitude of mind at the moment the photograph is taken deter- mines almost unalterably the expression recorded, and makes for success or failure. Therefore,-take care to be as thoroughly rested as possible, and free from colds or headache, as pain or fatigue are sure to show. Decide on a reliable photographer and leave things entirely to him, as to pose. etc., and feel the same confidence and relief that one experiences when placing themselves in the hands of a skilful physician. Some do's and don'ts to ladies: Don't change your style of hairdressing or you will look unnatural. Donlt powder or make up, except possibly lips and eye- brows. as white powder makes a face photograph like a plaster cast, and deep red in the cheeks will look like hollows. If inclined to stoutness wear a dark dress. as light always tends to increase the apparent size. Lace always gives a pleasing effect, and a plain material is better for the dress than the one having a too pronounced pattern. Plan to reach the studio in time to dress without haste, as perfect composure is absolutely necessary for a pleasing expression. Never more than one person should accompany the sitter to the camera room, as more tend to produce nervousness and self-consciousness-both of which are fatal to results. This also applies to chil- dren, as a movement on the part of an adult at the wrong moment may distract a child's attention and spoil what might have been the best pose and expression. Never take children at a time when they would usually have a nap. and morning is usually the best, before they tire of play. The person accompanying a child should be as unobtrusive as possible, as a skilful photographer knows how to control the expressions with toys etc.. and remarks to the child like. Now smile for the man, Close your mouthj' etc., etc., are disastrous. Never tell a child that He is going to have a picture taken 5 don't talk it over in his hearing, nor tell him he Must sit perfectly still and smile -it produces a stiffness and unnaturalness that may take an hour to overcome, if, indeed, it can be overcome at all. Unless a child is timid it is much better to leave him entirely alone with the photographer after the first few minutes. govncmoneg it Y,-.P 3, gg 'ls W 54 THE AMETHYST The Class of 1927 President, RICHARD JOHNSON Vice-President, ADELINE DICKEY Treasurer, BLANCHARD BATES Secretary, ARLENE JOHNSON In September, 1923, the doors of the old Deering High School were opened to the last Freshman class which would ever enter through its doors. We showed the upperclassmen right away that we meant business by entering into everything with a great interest. The first thing to be done was the election of class officers, which resulted in Richard Blanchard being elected President, Donald Butler, Vice- Presidentg Donald Prince, Treasurer, John Robinson, Secretaryg Executive Com- mittee, Lawrence F arham, Rizpah Davis and Laura Sherman. Our first social gathering was a Freshman Party in Crosby Hall, the members of the class giving a Burlesque in the moving picture called, Wild Nell. The next important affair was the Freshman Reception, which took place on the evening of December 14, 1923. ln one corner of the room, made attractive by lighted Christ- mas trees, stood the receiving line. Principal and Mrs. William E. Wing, Sub- master and Mrs. Arad E. Linscott, and other members of the faculty and the class ofhcers. Dancing was enjoyed during the evening, music being furnished by the St. John Orchestra. During the middle of the evening a pleasing program was presented by the members of the class. On the evening of January 9, 1924, a debate was held between the A1's and the A2's, which was won by the former. The question was: Resolved, That the students of Deering High School should be divided into classes according to their mental age. The negative side was taken by the A1's, while the affirmative was upheld by the A2's. In the winter carnival, which was held March 1, 1924, we placed third. Our Freshman girls' basketball team had a very good season under the supervision of Miss Hughes of the faculty. The captain of the team was Olive Dow. We entered our Sophomore year with as much pep, if not more, than we had in our Freshman year. Hy heading all class competition our class teams have been by far superior to any Sophomore teams -in the history of the school. VVe proved this by winning the championship of the interclass basketball league by not being de- feated in a single game. The members of this team which won their numerals were Captain Robinson, Nute, Stevens, Lynch. Mace and Fields. We were also most successful in track, winning the interclass track meet by defeating the Juniors, our nearest rivals, by several points. While we were winning in class competition, we were also heard from on the varsity squads. In track we were represented by a most successful high jumper, Neal Ross, who scored points in every meet in which he participated. except the Bowdoin meet. Among the other men who kept the Sophomore class up amongst the leaders were Pelton, Farnham, Wilson, Prince and assistant manager Frost. We also made a good showing in varsity basketball. T wo of the bright lights of the team were Leigh Stevens and Edgar Robinson. although they were both very light they made up for what they lacked in weight by their excellent shooting. We owe our thanks to Richards, N ute and Mace for keeping us on the map. In football we were were represented by Hersey, Wilson, Bonnar, Cronkhite, and Everett. While the boys were helping to keep the name of the Sophomore class high the girls were no hindrance. Our girls were heard from on the championship Deering team, Olive Dow, Eleanor Smart, Laura Sher- man, Ruth Paxson and others. The best and peppiest cheer leaders which have been seen at Deering since the days of Yummy Huden and Osh Tracy were from the class of 1927, being Dick Johnson and Keith Fields. The Sophomore class has a large representation in the Cadets, although the officers of the organiza- tion would like to have a larger number of Sophomores enrolled. Those who are DEERING HIGH SCHOOL 5, enrolled Inake a very crude table showing. Among the Sophomores who belong to the Cadets are Ross, Snyder, Nute, Morrill, Felton, Monahan. C. Roberts. X'Velch. NVest, Dow, McDevitt and others. Among the numerous activities in which the Sophomore class is engaged is the glee clubs. There are several second year students who in the near future promise to he real songhirds. The following Sophomores belong to the glee club: Morrill. Nute, Lynch, XVest and Stevens. Also notice our representation in the or- chestra. ten or more players. everything from a French horn to 3 violin. Roth in quality and quantity the class of 1927 is one of the finest classes that Deering could wish for.

Joy johnson Dancing was enjoyed during the evening, Fowler's Orchestra furnishing the music. We all enjoyed this gathering and are proud to be the first to enter the new Deering High School, and are more than pleased of the closer relationship that has been formed between the faculty. the parents. and the students. Freshman Debate The class of 1928 had a well organized debating team and held the annual Freshman debate. The subject debated was: Resolved. That the Child Labor Amendment should be ratified. Manley Littlefield coached the negative and Dor- othyiHaskell the affirmative. Madeline llridges, Margaret llrown, Clayton Hall, Henry Oakes and John Phillips were the prominent speakers. The time allowed was 3 minutes rebuttal and 5 minutes each for the main speech. The affirmative won by the judges' decision and the best speaker by vote of the audience was Madeline Bridges. Football The Freshman organized a football team and elected Henry Wilson captain. Many turned out for practice and many of our boys spent their afternoons in this Work. We are proud to possess Harold llawkes and Henry VVilson, who made the first team and are sure that they will make future stars and keep the spirit of football moving in Deering High. 58 THE AMETHYST Basketball The class of '28 turned out a brilliant lot of basketeers and elected Robert Richards, captain: Thomas Clark, manager, and Mr. Vinal, coach. Many reported for practice, including Morrell, Mace, Richards, Wilson, Hawkes. Braman, Esteys, and Rivers. Robert Richards, Hawkes, and Mace made the second team of the varsity and had a chance to play in a few of the large games. High Lights VVE WoULo LIKE TO KNoW- Why Helen Larrabee had her hair hobbed?

Nothing daunted him, whether on the football field or the baseball diamond he was the star player. Greatest of all athletes, past or present, that the high school had ever known was Heck johnson. Colleges sent letters and delegations to him begging him to enter their respective schools. Beck beside being a great athlete enjoyed the reputation of being one of the highest ranked students in the school. Giant obstacles in Latin and English appearing in his path vanished before him like dew before the sun. Sudden dangerous book reports, the bane of most students. were as nothing to lleck. One day while returning home from school a friend of l3eck's noticed that he was somewhat downcast, a frown appearing now and then on his forehead. Why, what is the matter ? anxiously inquired the friend. Nothing, said Heck, l only got 9692 on my Latin test today, and l'm won- dering whether ,it will bring my rank down. I think I will go back and take it over, anywayf' finished Beck with a sigh. You can'tl There's a Cadet rifle practice this afternoon, and we both will have to go, interrupted his friend. Oh, gosh! that's so, disgustedly muttered Heck, What time is it ? Lieutenant Dyer told us to he at the rifle range at two o'clock ? answered his companion. All right, I'll be there, said Beck DEERING HIGH SCHOOL 59 On reaching home he went up to his room and selected, from many, a sweater having his high school letter on it 3 putting it on he hurried down-stairs where he ate his dinner, and then seizing his cap started for the rilie range. Arriving at the range, Beck was given a riHe and thirty rounds of ammunition. He inserted five cartridges into the breech and working the bolt threw a shell into the chamber. Stretching on the ground Beck cuddled the beautiful Springfield against his shoulder, its dark polished stock resting against his cheek. Then sighting at the target, which was about two hundreds yards away. he fired. The shot struck the bull's eye fairly in the center. Calmly ejecting the empty shell he threw another cartridge into the chamber. He fired again, and again the shots struck fair and true. He continued to Fire until ten cartridges were left, each shot resulting in a perfect hit. Suddenly to l3eck's astonished gaze the target dissolved as though into the air. He rubbed his eyes with a shaking hand while he stared as though turned to stone, not at the target, but at a huge Latin examination paper that now rested where the target should have been. Instead of a bull's eye, there appeared in the center a huge, red splotch like blood that soon took the shape of three figures which stared at Beck like accusing eyes. Heck fired. With a shriek the target came bounding toward him. Heck leaped from his bed with a howl of terror, and his horrified gaze fell upon the face of his alarm clock, The hands pointed to fifteen minutes to eight! He scrambled into his clothes, rushed down-stairs, gulped down his breakfast, grabbed his books and hustled off for school. Wlleri the first period bell rang, he hurried to his study room where he tried to do ten Latin sentences in forty minutes, also twenty sentences in English, forty examples in Algebra, and learn a chapter in lliology. Vlfhen the second period bell rang, Beck went to his English recitation. Here he was asked to get up and correct the structure, if necessary, of a certain sentence, with this result: The Board of Education has resolved to erect a building large enough to accommodate five hundred students three stories high, and to lleck's astonishment the class laughed boisterously. The next period Heck spent in chas- ing the elusive, unknown quantity and was still chasing it at the end of the period. During the fourth period, in Latin, he came to grips with the Subjunctive Mood and lost. The last two periods in lliology were a nightmare, but he managed to get through by the skin of his teeth. After a hurried dinner at home Heck rushed back to the gym for an hour cadet drill with old, dilapidated, dummy rities that had a knack of falling apart at the wrong moment. When'the drill ended, our Freshman was free to get his studies for the next day, also to perform many other duties, and finally got to bed a little before midnight, thus ending a Perfect Day l LINWUOII Er.I.loT, '28, 60 THE AMETHYST Brlokbats and Bouquets Na me .-1 d jectivg S0 ng Expressiovi Abbott, Elliott Amiable I Want to Be Lazy Nell's bells!

This year's debaters, john Cooper and Dorothy Dean, neative, and Manley Littlefield and Ruth VVoodhill. affirmative, have come well up to the mark and have won decisions over Iiath and Brunswick High Schools, thus earning the honor of being second in the Bowdoin League. Among the varsity speakers graduating this year are john Cooper, Eugenia Southard, and Louise Bates. Mr. Cooper started his career as a Sophomore was a member of the junior team last year, and this year was in the Bowdoin League and was the star in the Kiwanis debate. Miss Southard, also, has been debating since her Sophomore year and has been on the Dates League team for two years. She has been judged best speaker in practically every debate in which she has taken part, and is, therefore, one of the best speakers in the Dates League. Miss Bates has also been on the Dates League teams for two years and is responsible for a good share of the success in that league. The team which represented Deering in the annual debate before the Kiwanis Club, John Cooper, and Dorothy Dean lost to Portland High. However, we hope for better luck next year, for the judges said when they gave their decision, Last year Deering won: this year Portland wins. To keep up their sense of balance. they will undoubtedly give Deering thedecision next year. The Freshmen have shown quite an interest in debating this year and the Fresh- man Debate was well attended. Those who took part were Madolyn Bridges, Gwendolyn Marden. Winiiifrecl Hodgkins, Henry Oakes, Clayton Hall and John Phillips. The girls won this debate and Madolyn llridges was judged the best speaker. This year the Debating Association. under the leadership of john Cooper. has had one of the most successful years in its history. llesides its bi-weekly meetings. the club put on its annual vaudeville, the first one given in the new hall. VVilliam Lanzetelle was the business manager. and the show, A Knight with the Radio, was successful not only financially, but from the point of view of the audience. The Sophomore-Junior debate has not been held, but the sneakers have been chosen for the debate on May Zlird. Dorothy NValch, Robert VValch and Rizpah Davis will be the Sophomore team and lierta Rogers, Edith Norton and Alice Iiagley the Junior team. The teams are being coached by Louise Dates and Weston Rankin. It surely is not out of place to mention here the credit due to the debating coach, Brooks Quimbly. ljerhaps the record in debating since he came to Deering is the best testimonial to his ability. For three successive years our team has brought home the cup for championship in the llates League. Numerous other victories might be mentioned. Deering seems on the road to a place in interscholastic debat- ing equal to that which Dates holds among the colleges. One man is responsible- Mr. Quimby. Champion of the liates lnterescholastic Debating League and second in the liowdoin League is the record of Deering High for 1925: a record unexcelled by any high school in this state. ln the Dates League we won the championship for the third year in succession, although nearly hfty schools took part in the debates. The I.c'zu'isf0a1 Journal, in reviewing the debate. said, Friday and Saturday all Bates campus was agog with this question, 'Can we beat Deering High School ?' Deering answered the ques- tion in the negative and brought home the trophy cup. Our affirmative team was made up of Eugenia Southard and Weston Rankin, with Arnold Boyce, alternte. This team won a two to one decision from South Portland and unanimous decisions from Camden and Lisbon Falls in the finals. Miss Southard being voted the best speaker each time. The negative team, Louise Bates and Fred Scribner, won a two to one decision from Kents Hill and unani- mously from Gardiner and Buckfield, Miss Bates and Mr. Scribner each receiving decisions as best speaker. DEERING HIGH SCHOOL 69 Cul' 'fBreccia Brercia-what does it mean? Why, of course. it is the D. H. S. paper. but how many really know the origin of this name? It is derived from the Italian word Breccia, meaning rock. A solid rock formed by many small pebbles collected together. Our Brvcria certainly fulfills all this, for it is made up of several departments, and these are all put together, making our school paper. Vile call the jokes in our magazine pebbles. because they all help to make up the big rock. This year the English Department has contributed more than ever to help make the Brecriai -a howling success. VVe have received short stories, plays, and poems from this department and have found some very fine talent among the students of D. H. S. The athletic write-ups have been unusually fine this year. because there have been some splendid teams to write about. If it were not for some of the advertisements, it would have been very difhcult to make both ends meet. and we would not have had such a s.uccessful season. We are proud to say now that We owe no man. Our exchange list has been the best ever. High school papers have been received from as far away as California and the Canal Zone. The Music and Debating notes have also had an important part in making the Rl'l'l't'lU what it is today. .X great deal of credit is due the Art Department for the clever and unique covers which they have designed. and we'll say that after looking at the cover one's first impression of the Brrrvia cannot help but be a good one. The student body has done its part by supporting the Brercia, and the Brecria lloard has tried to publish a clever. peppy paper to satisfy everyone. Have you ever stopped to think of the work and time it takes to publish this paper five times a year? ln the years to come, we hope the Hwrriti will continue to be a lively paper of which Deering may be proud. l'iere's wishing the best of luck to the future Brt'rf'ia.

For the benefit of those who are ignorant of the object of the great organization let us quote from its constitution, The object of the National Honor Society is to create an enthusiasm for scholarships, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character. The need of stimulating these four qualities, leadership, character, service and scholarship, has been felt for a long time, consequently, the society immediately received the endorsement of hundreds of secondary schools. Deering High School had the first charter issued to a Maine secondary school. William E. Wing, our principal, was one of the organizers of the society and was a member of the first National Council. Friday morning, February thirteenth, Earl Russell of the high school committee presented the medal of the society, which consists of a keystone, torch of knowl- edge, and the letters, uc, s, 1 and Hs, to the following people: Louise Bates, Muriel Little, Eugenia Southard, Catherine Davis, Lois Johnstone, John Frates. Thomas Braman, john Cooper, Roger Ray and Barton Curit. Student Service Club Three years ago a time notice was posted. and a few lone students met in the office of the principal to organize a club. Officers were elected, and the name Stu- dent Service Club was given. Each year the club has grown larger and now the original number is doubled with a membership of forty. This year only one officer was elected, a secretary, Frances Thompson. Every Monday morning a meeting is held with Mr. Wing, with whom school affairs are discussed, improvements suggested, complaints entered, and members are assigned to the desk for the different periods by the secretary. Any new ideas are first dis- cussed at a meeting and the home rooms are told of them. Mr. Wing is informed at the next meeting of public opinion, and, thus, he is able to do as the majority of the students wish. At the desk is where most of the chances for service comes to the club. The person assigned to it answers questions, collects attendance slips, shows visitors about the building, and does most anything that needs doing. At assemblies the student ushers are club members. They direct people to the proper place and keep away confusion. The object of the Student Service Club is service, and members keep finding new ways to do something for Deering. DEERING HIGH SCHOOL 71 The Radio Club Another year has passed and the Radio Club has had great success. In order to understand more fully the present position of the club let us review brieliy its past history. The club was formed in September, 1923. The following officers were elected: President. Leon Blackwell: Vice-President, Kingsbury Davis, and Secretary and Treasurer, Willis Ballard. At that time Mr. Blackwell was the only member of the club licensed to run the transmitter. ln spite of the fact that there wasn't any good place for the transmitting antenna and that all the apparatus had to be bor- rowed, Blackwell handled considerable traffic as an official relay station of the American Radio Relay League. The club thrived, thanks to the assistance of the faculty adviser, Mr. Morgridge. As the result of frequent code practice two new operators were ready to operate in the early part of 1924. With this new static of three operators the station picked up and began to relay about sixty messages a month. Although low power was used, a good daylight range was kept up. As the new building was ready for occupation in the fall of 192-L the apparatus was moved to the fine new radio room. The club met and elected the following members: President, Kingsbury Davis: Vice-President, Earl Christianseng Pub- licity Manager, Willis llallard. and Chief Operator, Irving Mower. Due to the better situation of the transmitter its efficiency was greatly increased and this fact soon began to show. The station was heard over practically all of the United States. A report came from Toulons, France. stating that the station had been heard at that place. Lastly, Chief Operator Mower established two-way coni- munication with station g5l.lV, at Wimbledon Park, England. This year the club meetings were made interesting by various methods. and the code practice was kept up at every meeting. The funds needed to get new ap- paratus were raised by taking charge of the check room at different occasions and once a booth was shown at the bazaar. As for the future, the present operators have one fear. The operators are all Seniors and will, consequently, leave the school in June. At the time of this writing there is no one ready to fill their places. They have hopes. however, that someone who is now studying the code will become licensed by fall. Nevertheless, the club has had a successful year, both in running a transmitter efficiently and also in collecting together students who are interested in radio and learning more about it. 72 THE AMETHYST French Club fL,Atelierj This year a new club was added to the list of organizations at Deering. just as the other have been formed for the purpose of furthering their members' knowledge of different subjects, this club has as its purpose the advancement of the study of French. As the first step in its organization, a committee was chosen by those studying third-year French to select a group of officers. This committee made its report, which was accepted by the two classes, and the following came into office: President, Charles Shackley: Vice-President, Victoria Gray: Secretary- Treasurer, john Cooper: Executive Committee, Elva Gerrish, Irving Mower and Arthur Peterson. The first meeting was held soon after in the music room. At this meeting the constitution, which had already been drawn up by the Executive Committee, was accepted with but one change. as well as the name L'Atelier, which means the studio or workshop, or the place where students come together. After the business of the organization was completed those present gathered around the piano and ended an enjoyable afternoon singing French folk and comic songs or, as some preferred, trying their skill at French cross-word puzzles. A commit- tee was appointed to arrange for a play to be given on the afternoon of June 4th, when an invitation will be extended the Juniors to be guests. This meeting has not been held yet Cat time of printingl. but plans are being made for it. and it is sure to be a success. The purpose of inviting the Juniors is to arouse interest in continuing the club, for while it was formed too late in the school year to be very active, it is hoped that the foundation has been laid for a permanent branch of Deering High School life. The Washington Club VV.xsn1Nc:'roN, May the Fourth. On Monday evening, May the fourth, the hotel guests were much interested in the distinguished and fashionable audience that was gathered in the hotel parlor. It was the Deering party gathered to see a vaudeville show given by its talented members. VV'e need not mention the success of this affair when we name the actors: Louise llates, our famous debator, gave a reading: Victoria Grey, a vocal duet with Gracia VVardle: Dorothy llennett, our dancer, and four young men with their witty remarks, together with Mr. Ray, were all on the program. As the party was about to disband they were detained by the soft strains of the famous Lohengrin march played by Donald Blanchard. The charming ceremony, which united the blushing Esther Hawkes and the much envied Ilarton Curit in marriage, was performed by the dignified Rev. L. A. Ripley. The gowns worn by this party were imported from all parts of the Metropolitan Hotel. The bride carried a bouquet that was indescribable beyond mere words. The veil was of old lace with drawn threads of turkey red. The bridesmaids were charming with a style of their own. Miss Gardiner Bridge wore gold satin with a hat to match. Miss Everett Maguire in blue satin CMary Pickford stylel. Miss Maguire's gown was noted for its exciting ex- perience. Miss llurton Haggett wore Harding blue. After the good wishes were given the happy couple it was announced that they had decided to remain with the party and tour the Capitol City. DFIERING HlGH SCHOOL 1 Jokes KTIIU most ronzwririrt label!

ORCHESTRA DEERING HIGH SCHOOL ll Music Ope thine ears to music When thy spirits fallg It will cheer and gladden The weariest heart of all. One finds so many references to music in the works of the great poets that it is easily seen that music played one of the leading roles in the dramas of their lives. Consider for a moment Milton. In L'Allegro he fully appreciates the pleasure of hearing -the lark begins his flight, And singing. startle the dull night. Music is a means of expressing thoughts that are inexpressible by the use of mere words,-and what a power it has of revealing that which is in one's soul- a power which is denied all else but poetry in the artistic world. Poetry is the only arte that approaches music in the emotions that are awakened in the human heart. Milton seemingly realized the superiority of music in this power. though, for we have his statement- More is meant than meets the eye. to verify this belief. Can anyone think of an ideal home devoid of music in any form? Such a home would lack an atmosphere of happiness, of completeness. There is hardly a state of mind that music cannot enter and entering. transform. Even from the Bible we are told that David played on the harp to soothe Saul's troubled mind. To thoroughly understand and appreciate music is a goal well worth striving for, and it is to the school that much praise is due for the founda- tion of such an understanding. In Deering there are various forms of musical study, namely: The Orchestra, Glee Club, Musical Appreciation and Musical Club. The Orchestra this year has an enrollment of forty-five members, chosen from among the superior musicians of the school. They have mastered a number of the well known classics, including: La Paloma -l'r'adivr. li'omp and Circumstance -1llgur. Rainbow Girl --Ilir.rcl1. Reverie lnterrompue''-'I'srlu1il.'rm'.rky. Melodie -xllimxrvizvf. During this school year the orchestra has played for few events outside of those held at the high school auditorium. The Glee Club has been working most diligently on music to be'used in the Music Festival. This is to be held at City Hall and is to be a joint meeting of all the glee clubs of the city public schools. Under the direction of Mr. Crawford. director of music, they have nearly completed the course and the music to be used in the festival is as follows: Song of the Marching Men. America the Beautiful. g Damascus 78 THE AMETHYST In the Musical Appreciation class much progress is made in the study of music. The object of the course is to learn who the great composers are and what they have done. Some of the most important artists that they have studied this year are: Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Vlfagner, Mozart and Paderewski. Besides studying the lives of composers, the class specializes in Harmony and the study of different instruments. The Musical Club recently organized is principally for the purpose of enter- tainment, where the members listen to the music of great composers, which is played by local artists. The chief entertainers have been the Haydn trio, and piano solos by Miss Butterheld. A number of times Miss Chevalier, a former Deering student and now an active member of the Rossini Club, has favored the class with 'cello solos, which have been highly appreciated and enjoyed.

This year it was revived at the arrival of Carl Lundholm, who proved a very efficient coach. About twenty- five fellows came out for the team, which was built around Red Williamson, the only man with experience. As captain he was an inspiration and example to the squad. The season was exceptionally successful for a one-year team, and prospects for next year are bright. Boys' Athletics From the beginning of school life the boys of 1925 have taken a great interest in athletics and have produced some of the best teams in the school's history. This year, with a new school, new athletic field and new gymnasium, the boys determined to make it a banner year. As far as scores go, maybe it hasn't been quite up to expectations, but as far as spirit and sportsmanship goes, Deering boys were un- equalled. Not all the boys had a chance to shine, but to these boys goes as much if not more credit than to some of the players. These boys went out to practice day in and day out, doubtless knowing they wouldn't make the team, but they had the proper spirit and certainly helped greatly in building up the first eleven. School had scarcely begun when Coach Flack had the football squad under way. The team was composed largely of Senior boys and was captained by our versatile athlete, Johnny Frates. The team went through a hard schedule, losing only three games and those by very small differences. The season opened by playing Sanford and the game was won by Deering, 13-O. lt being the first game Flack was able to'size up more carefully his material. All the boys played well, especially Capt. Frates, Al Lapierre and Red Williamson. The next game meant more to the Deering boys than any other victories, for the game was with Portland High-and the score 30-'T in OUR favor. Everybody did credit to Deering and to himself on this memorable day. There were many flashy plays madeg among those doing brilliant work were Al Morang, Tom llraman. Tarzan Kemp and Larry Canon. .-Xlthough the boys met with a 151-0 defeat at the hands of Thornton, neverthe- less, the boys all showed up well and continually displayed that undaunted Deering spirit. The next battle was with Portsmouth and again Deering won-this time by 13-6. Guppy played a whale of a game, as did f'Johnny and Tom, In our 13-0 win over South Portland. Larry Canon, convalescing from a broken wrist, played as of old-showing that the old fight always sticks through thick and thin. Funny Douglass and Burt Etheridge played sterling games at end and guard respectively. Winning over Cony, 46-0, the boys added another scalp to their collection. Sheik Harwood and Chink Hunt played well, as did Nick Hodgman when he was sent into the fray. D H. S. FOOTBALL TEAM DEERING HIGH SCHOOL 83 The boys lost to Iliddeford. 'I'-2, but they made it hot for Biddeford during the four quarters of play. Tom llraman, Tarzan Kemp and johnny Frates all played a good game and displayed a good example of the ole' fight. NYestbrook boys. accompanied by more than half of Sacarap. came to Bayside and succeeded. only after a bitter tussle, in downmg our warriors, 125-8. Red VVilliamson, C,it1nv, Iohnnv and I..arr were the briffht li hts of the dav. l . . . y as , In our 40-ti victory over Morse all the boys gave good accounts of themselves. Hurt Iftheridge, Nick llodgman, Al I.apierre and uClIllIkU Hunt were the big factors in the victory. And now we come to the GR.-XND climax of the season. the event of events- the 'l'hanksgix'ing Day game. IYith stands packed with Deering rooters. the air Hlled with Deering yells. the purple-jerseyed gridders went onto the Held. facing our friends from Portland. That is was a tvlmlv of a game would be nuff said - but we mustn't forget those boys who so distinguished themselves in their last game for Deering. 'I'om llraman started the scoring with a drop-kick. From the first moments of play the boys were determined for victory and so the scores kept piling up in the brilliant work of johnny lfrates. .Xl I,apierrc and Guppy, until the game ended in a 115-0 win. Kemp played well at guard as did Funny Douglass and Chink Hunt in their positions. In graduating the class of 1925 Deering loses some of her best athletes. If the underclassmen will only grasp the spirit and Fight that these boys have shown Deering will continue to be among the first in rank. Those leaving this year are johnny Frates, Larry Canon, Tarzan Kemp, llurt', Etheridge, Fiunny,' Douglass, Ala I.apierre. Sheik llarwood, Tom llraman, Red VVilliamson, 'ftiuppyf' Al 'Morong and Nick llodgman. D. H. S. HOCKEY TEAM D. H. S. BASKETBALL TEAM DEERING HIGH SCHOOL 85 Ice Hockey Although it was the first season of the Deering boys on the ice, the hockey play- ers made a line showing. The team was captained by johnny Frates, who played wing. Al Lapierre, our flashy performer on skates, held down the other wing. The defense positions were held by Lily Cummings, Burt Etheridge. Bart Curit and Sheik' Harwood. In the opening game, Deering lost to the fast Conyites by a 6-0 score. The game wasn't without thrills though, for the Purple players were in action every minute of play, many times succeeding in wrestling the puck from their opponents. In the second game our boys paraded over the Blue in a 4-1 victory. Al Lapierre, Johnny Frates, Hurt Etheridge and Lily Cummings all played fine games. Although losing to the llates frosh by a 2-1 score, the boys received much credit for holding the Hashy college team to such a low score. Once again Deering tackled Cony. this time at the Augusta Carnival. Our boys gave a better account of themselves this time and the score ended only 3-2 in Cony's favor. Frates, Curit, and Sheik Harwood were continually after the puck and Al Lapierre drove it through for scores. We hope that the work that the 1925 boys have started in this branch of athletics will be continued in the years to come. Boys' Basketball 1925 Our basketball team went through a hard schedule this winter. The team, al- though not dedicating our new gymnasium with a large number of victories, did iccomplish one longed-for ambition, that was to beat the Portland High School zeam. We did it! Score, 19-17. The loss of two veterans, due to a strenuous football season, was severely felt by the team. Special mention must be given to Captain Larry Canon and Bullet Guptill. Leigh Stevens, Eddie Robinson, Hob Richards, f'Frankie Hunt, Johnny Frates, Lin Silver, Manager Harwood and Coach Flack deserve honorable mention. P 5 99 Er: mo QU ss 1: C DEERING HIGH SCHOOL 87 Girls' Basketball 1925 All hail, ye Deeringites, those undefeated Purple lassies of Deering, the state Champs of 1925. Beginning the season with a vim and fight which never once waned, the team has gone through a hard schedule ever victorious. Perhaps the greatest victories the team has pulled off were those over their old rivals, Portland -and Cony High. All of you who witnessed the last Deering and Portland game can well verify this statement. Trailing at the half, the team came back with that old Deering tight and with Bobbie Eveleth and Sammie Grover at the helm, we were steered through a sea of Blue opposition to a Purple victory. Never before has the school turned out such a team. Although the girls were Champs in '21, they never were faced with trying moments like the ever-battling lassies of '25, The team this year was one with such fight that when apparently defeated, and when trailing at the final period, they were able to play basketball until the final whistle and to emerge winners. The season W-as formally opened on january 10th by defeating Freeport High 2+-2. Sammie Grover played a fine game of basketball and scored all but two of Deering's points. Many second string girls were given a chance in the final period, and although the score would indicate a one-sided -affair, such was not the case. The visitors showed an unflinching spirit which kept our girls working throughout the four periods of play. On January 17th our girls vanquished WaynHete's sextet, 27-7. Gundy Gunderson, Elinor Smart. Bobbie Eveleth and Sammie Grover all played a whale of a battle for the Purple and were a large factor in the victory. The Cony lassies favored us with a visit on January 21th and we again emerged winners. Although things looked rather doubtful at the half, Deering being on the small end of a 12-T score, the Purple fight never waned. Bobbie Eveleth was shifted to forward -and she and Sammie Grover easily carried off the bacon for Deering. Gundy and Ray'l Baker played stellar games at guard. Fighting desperately in a game that meant much to both teams the Deering lassies rolled over the South Portland crew in a 26-15 win on January 31st. johnny Johnson, Deering's fleet-footed side center, was easily the queen of the court? Her brilliant work in center was the real cause of our victory. Again tackling Waylitlete the Purple lassies smothered them by a 52-7 score. The slaughter took place on February Tth and even the petit Burnham Gym failed to hamper our girls. f'Sammie Grover continued her scoring rampage, making 12 field goals. Gundy was not far behind, caging 8. Elinor Smart shone in the center territory with a fine passing and successful defensive game. And now we come to the Deering-Portland game. For the first time in four years our girls swamped the Blue in a 32-13 victory. The game being played on the 14th every one considered the win an ideal Valentine for our city friends, Johnny Johnson topped the list of feature players, which included Grover, liveleth. Gunderson and Dow. Ollie Dow played a stellar game at guard and provided a back court defense almost unbreakable to the Portland girls. Our girls continued their winning streak the following Saturday by defeating Gardiner, 37-5. The battle started off slow and close until the Purple got her passing game working. Deering gave every girl a show, but it made little differ- ence in the playipg. Our subs continued to score. After the February lay-off, we journeyed to Freeport on March '7th. The Freeporters failed to mar the victory slate and Deering won, 31-11. The game was slow, but very rough and the players were continually rolling on the floor. On March 14th we traveled across the bridge to South Portland. In an effort to eliminate much of the roughness which has crept into girls' games, Principal 88 THE AMETHYST Haskell of S. P. H. S. imported a referee from Massachusetts,-Miss Whittemore of Milton Academy. Mr. Haskell's idea was to prove that the game could be handled in such a way that roughness could be minimized'l without slowing up the game. Miss Whittemore justified his contention. It was a whale of a battlellll For three periods the game see-sawed back and forth and the third period closed at eighteen all. When the fourth period started, it began to rain Purple baskets and the Deering score crept away from the Pooducker's. Baker, Dow and Eveleth at guard played great defenses, while Grover and Gunderson played dandy games at forward. Deering added another scalp when she journeyed to Gardiner on March 21st, Gundy scored 16 baskets, while Ollie', Dow played a sweet defensive game. The score ended 41-9. Deering girls nearly met their first defeat at the hands of the Cony lassies on March 28th. The first period ended in Cony's favor. 10-2!!! The second and third periods ended with Deering still trailing. Gundy,' was sent in as center at the beginning of the fourth. She certainly pulled us up out of danger and played a wonderful fighting game. Bobbie Eveleth and Sammie Grover shot some fine goals. The game was a thriller and closed with Deering victors, 24-20. Both teams played at top speed and although the fioor was very slippery, and a great disadvantage to our players, the old fight prevailed and gave to us our twelfth consecutive victory. The Deering lassies ended their 1925 season in a blaze of glory by defeating their ancient Blue rivals. It was a 25-22 win and as close as the score would indicate. In fact, it was the most sensational basketball battle of recent years. Deering's victory, achieved in the last three minutes of play. was attained only after the fiercest of struggles. The score was 21-19 with only three minutes of play. Sammie,' Grover counted a field goal and Portland came back with a foul shot. Score, 22-21 !! After Portland had failed to score on three tosses from the foul stripe and as the minutes narrowed into seconds, Bobbie Eveleth came through with a field goal-quickly followed by one by Sammie. Thus ended a 'i hard game to lose but A PEACH OF A GAME TO WIN ! l li' Every girl playing for Deering starred. Every Purple player fought until the final whistle. Dow and Baker put up a sterling defensive game, and Johnny Johnson was every- where, the greatest single factor of the victory. The game ended the season for the Deering lassies-a season ever to be remem- bered. Deering graduates four first string players this June, namely, Manager Lois Johnstone, Ray Baker, Robbie Eveleth and Captain Catl' Davis. also subs Muriel Holmes, Christine Jordan and Estella Baker. With the passing of these girls, Deering loses some hard fighters. Nevertheless, the 1926 aggregation should be one of championship calibre-for Coach McKechnie has such veterans as Captain-elect Johnny Johnson, Manager-elect Bunnie Perkins, Sammie Grover, Gundy Gunderson, 'fOllie Dow, Laura Sherman, Alice Linscott and Hazel Hodgdon, and many others from the second squad who are certainly promising candidates. But-in our enthusiasm over the victories of this brilliant sextet, we never for a moment shall forget dear Coach McKechnie. She made the wheels go around and to her due credit is given. She gave countless hours of physical and mental labor toward the building of the team and the result was- Champs!! When- ever a spectator saw, during the past season, a Deering lassie fighting to the last atom, it was only common to hear: Gee, she's got 'the old fight'! But-the girl had the old light for Miss McKechnie and Deering, for Miss, McKechnie ex- pected them to pull throught' and nothing could prevent them from gratifying her ambitions. And now- Let's go for another Championship team in 1926 ! ! !! CATHERINE Davis, '25. If H 1' DEERING HIGH SCHOOL 89 Girls' Basketball Ye Editor notes a strange omission from this account of the 1925 girls' basketball season, to be explained quite probably by the authorship of the article. XV e read only that Captain Cat Davis is passing with the June graduates-no word of the flying colors with which she is passing. No one who has closely followed the fortunes of this basketball season has any doubt that if it were possible to single out any one girl to whom to give credit that girl would be Catherine Davis. There are few who do not know that for four years Catherine has meant more in the victories won and in the building up of our present organization than any girl of recent years. Her ability as a player is beyond question. She is one of the best girl basket shooters in the stateg she is the most powerful, brilliant guard Deering has had for yearsg she is a side center who cannot be stopped. For two years captain of the team she has been an ideal leader. Her spirit and power alone have carried the team victoriously through some of the tight places of a big season. A long illness in the early part of the season kept Catherine out of the first games, but her strength was shown upon her return in the first Cony game when her generalship helped to turn a doubtful game into an overwhelming victory, and the work that she did in the last Cony game and the final game with Portland High no one who saw those games will soon forget. A brilliant offensive player, a sterling defensive player, a tram player, a real leader-that is the story of one of the most popular captains in the history of Deering girls' basketball. Baseball Though our baseball season has hardly begun we don't feel that the Amiirnvs r should be printed without some mention of the hard work on the diamond thus far! Four games have been played and two won. VVe have beaten our old rival. Portland High, by a large score and have also won from South Portland. We have lost to Westbrook and Catholic High. The team now stands third in the Telegram League and Arthur Bakers batting average stands at the top of the list. With four veterans left from last year, it was quite a problem to develop an outfield around Tom I-Iranian and also make a new pitcher. Rob Richards filled the latter position very well and is called Flack's new pitching find, while Lopez and Hodgman filled the wing positions in the field. Harwood covered first sack in fine shape and Larry covered second with equal dexterity, with Guppy using his skill at third. Captain johnny Filled the gap between second and third, or in other words played a brilliant game at shortstop. At catcher three boys have done equally well, Art Baker, Jack Barry and Ken McDuffee, while Joe', Lynch got in the Westbrook game in twirler's berth. He did a good job. too! It looks now as though We would have a mighty successful year in baseball. Here's hoping! 90 THE AMETHYST The Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1925 We, the class of 1925, who are about to complete the journey of four happy years of education, who are approaching the parting of the ways, do hereby sanely, cheerfully, but sadly, bequeath all those things that have been dear to us during our high school days, to our schoolmates and faculty in the following way, clearly and plainly set forth: JUNIOR CL.Vxss To the Juniors, our immediate heirs, we bequeath the sacred title of Seniors. the highest attainable and most envied title in high school life.

But he who won my praise, And undivided cheers, Whose face in my thoughts will ever glow, As I climb the trail of future years, Was Lawrence Canon, sometimes Jo,' Who could waggle both his ears. 1 To translate like a Southard, I 11ever wished a bit. Nor have the easy comprehension Of Bart's in English Lit, Nor make a touchdown when the game was late, As oft did our Johnny Tony Frates. No aimless wishes such as these Excited me to tears, One thing, alone, I wished to learn Within my span of years, I prayed and prayed that I, someday, Could waggle both my ears, like Jo.

The Twig of Thorn is an Irish play written by Marie Josephine Warren. The scene is laid in the cottage of Nessa Teig in County Galway at the time of the Great Famine in l8Jf9. llased on the Irish belief in the little people, an lrish name for fairies. with a romantic little love story in which a poet and a peasant lad are rivals for a colleen. there was not only a plot to hold interest throughout. but also a chance for fine acting. The Gaelic was well done by all members of the cast, and the colorful costumes made some beautiful tableaux against the gray walls of the cottage. The harp music and fairy singing introduced at intervals gave an added charm. while the dancing of a reel amused all. The members of the cast were recipients of many congratulations for their fine acting. - The ushers were dressed as Irish colleens and looked very dainty. Stephen Colby, manager. the scenery committee, and Willis Ballard, electrician. contributed largely to the success of the play.

The calm green water lapped above his vanished head while several bubbles marked the place where he had submerged. The lines connecting Mitchell with oxygen and life paid out at a lively rate of speed. then it stopped short and his attendants re- ceived the signal that he had reached the wreck of the Denbar. Seventy-eight feet, announced Gorman. A little pale, wasn't he ? asked McDade, looking down into the water. Gorman looked at him. What d'you suppose it is, anyhow P he queried with a slight show of anxiety in his voice. God only knows. lt's a strange thing how jim Hunter's lines were cut. Well, it's up to us to find out or it will have to be slated as another one of those mysteries of the sea. Jim Hunter had gone down the day before to find out about the wreck. He had barely been under five minutes when the signal came up to pull him to the surface. The attendants, thinking something to be wrong, pulled up immediately, but-how easily! They turned pale with fear when they saw the severed ends of the two lines come out of the water. lt was too late to get a diver and suit that day, so they were forced to wait till the next morning. Mitchell was the man to find out what had cut the lines and he was down there now. Suddenly the signal came to the two attendants to pull up. Something was wrong, because he had been under barely five minutes, and jack was a master diver. Wlieii Mitchell reached the surface, his hands clutched the side of the boat frantically as though someone was chasing him. His helmet taken off, his face twitched and was ashen gray, and he tried to say something. Gorman made him drink, which made him better and able to speak. He was down there all right, l saw himkmercyl Have mercy! Mitchell clamped his hands over his eyes as if to shut out the horrible sight. Don't let me see him again. -lim l'lunter's walking around-come to meet me-walking in his diving suit dead. Mitchell moaned again and tried to forget it but the ghastly scene stuck to him. Somebody had to go down to the lJenbar, so Gorman volunteered. Gorman. of course, was badly shaken up, but somehow he felt that there was a mistake somewhere. Could this be possible? Mitchell had seen and he was one who knew his business. Nevertheless, about one hour later, Gorman slid from the boat into the water where he vanished from sight. Twenty minutes later Jim I-lunterls body was found and brought to the surface. Gorman then went down to find out the desired knowledge of the wreck. The ghost, he thought, was merely imagination on the part of Mitchell and he tried hard to think so. XVhen he landed on the deck of the wrecked ship he noticed that the water was fairly clear for that depth. He found the wreck-cluttered door just as Mitchell had described it. l-le crouched to get through it just as Mitchell had done. but glancing down he saw a long sharp piece of steel in one corner of the doorway that had broken off from some part of the ship and fallen there. That explains Hunter's death all right. 1 suppose he didn't see that piece of steel that cut his lines. Gorman said to himself. After fixing it he proceeded to enter the cabin where the ghost was said to have been seen. In another moment he was inside. DEERING HIGH SCHOOL 93 His heart nearly stopped, for on the opposite side of the cabin another diver faced him! Mitchell was right after all-it was a ghost. Gorman shuddered: he felt a desire to know what this horrible thing was. He took a step forward, then whatever nerve he had left, all but broke, for it had followed his example-taken a step. It being too late to turn back now, he summed up all the courage he could and threw his whole weight forward at the ghost: but just as he reached it he fell. In horror, he looked up to see where it was, but it had disappeared. In terror he struggled to his feet. Where was this ghost? Was it behind him? These questions were soon answered. for when he regained his feet he was facing the ghost, about a foot from him. The only thing he could think of to do was to pull out his sheath knife, which he did, making a desperate stab at the ghost. His knife struck something-it was hard, smooth, immovable. Instantly the mystery cleared itself to him, his knees wobbled, he felt weak all over, but that was only the effects of his fear, he now felt safe. It seemed foolish after all, his own image in the saloon mirror! A. W. LAPIERRE. IRENI-1 Hsizssv Oh! bless'd with temper whose unclouded ray Can make tomorrow cheerful as today. -Pope.

And this class will scatter to parts far and near, But before we say Adieu, let us have a little fun And write a few short poems to each and everyone. Sweet sixteen and it's a cinch, Since she was ten she hasn't grown an inch, But she's smart and witty and high in her class rates, May we have the honor to present, Miss Louise Bates.

In our class is a girl who's never late, And if we chose one who liked the Boyce UDOYSU, . Dorothy Forbes would be our choice. Another cutie in our class From period to period she does dash. And you will always find her ready To stay at home and see Her Eddie. Then we have our brunette beaut, There are some who find her cute, But all in all she is a queen And her name is Madelene. And liere's one girl we won't forget, Who plays the game and will not quitg She never fails to net the ball. Cat Davis I'm sure is liked by all. Marguerite Blanchard now comes next, And she we think divine: She has a beau to whom she's true, And this is a serious sign. A quiet lad is Roger Ray, He hardly speaks from clay to day, But judging from all that we see When he's with Her he's busy as a bee. Noblocly knows what a red-head mama can O Y We've,often wondered if this can be trueg We've Watched Doris' actions but find there no clue, D So to keep on wondering is what we'll have to do. Popular, loyal, liked by all, A man for whom all the girls do fall, But Guppy gives them not a thought, In love affairs he won't be caught. Another one the girls adore, Who's so indifferent it makes them sore, I guess it's for protection they gather around, For Canon means protection at all times, we've found. A lamb means being mild and meek, And Our Lamb is that judging by his speechg But I don't think we know him well, Anyway we know that One can't tell. One of the sheiks of Deering High, Whose looks will always get him by, And whose rosy cheeks will win him fame, E. A. are his initials, now guess his name. Another red-head mama we also adore, And whose absence we will all deploreg She's always Laffin like her name, Another one we know who will win fame. A girl who we've watched through all the years, Who's always smiling to someone who's in tearsg A game fighter, loyal to the end, And Bobbie, once you know her, is a tried good friend. We wish to announce to all future wives, Who will have to do housework all of their lives, A laundry where clothing is washed and not shrunk, And owned by a charming young man, Mr. Chink Hunt. Al is a name common indeed, But to know Al Fitch you an introduction need. Because he's so bashful-why do you smile? Well, anyway, he used to be once in a while. Lyle Cummings we know is a very fast worker, And at making love is surely no shirkerg He knows his stuff from a to z, And knocks them all cold, take it from me. We now in colors of red and gold A bit of the future ahead unfold, And see in the Museum of Arts nearby A wonderful painting by Dot Grover of Deering High. Another whose future we can see, Who's famous but of a different degree, The signs read, Kemp, the strongest man of all, Who challenges those present to a fall. DEERING HIGH SCHOOL 97 Who is that cute and charming miss, For whose favor the boys their credit risk, Whose dances are taken before the music starts, Why, that's Betty Winton, who has broken many hearts. A girl we'll miss when school begins, WVho by just charm and person your favor wms, And Eleanor Kennedy we all know Is an all weather friend to young and old. Dot Bennett, leading lady of the class Play, Will surely be a great leading lady some fine day, She's worked hard in Deering, and success she's won, But working hard didn't keep her from mix- ing in the fun. A grocery store with wide renown, Where people trade from all around, Etheridge 81 Co. is the name, The proprietor is responsible for its fame. Hollywood, open wide your doors, For we've got an actor you'll want more and more, His name is a novelty, his acting divine, After you see him you'1l say, Havilla, be mine. Beware the Ides of March we've heard it said, But Maurice didn't worry and he came right ahead, He was born in March you know and has reached a good ripe age, And if he keeps on the way he's begun, he'lI soon be a wise old sage. Our president, Tom Braman, we honor and revere, And we are honestly sorrv he leaves the school next year, We hope he enters Harvard and extend our bestest wishes, With the hopes, when he is being hazed, he won't have to wash dishes. Another future let us tell, Of one who everyone knows quite well, Miss Grovo has a pleasant way, She may be First Lady of the Land some day. fNever can tell.J Why we write now is to say We hope we haven't offended in any wayg This is all written in fun or folly, So please be good sports and take it jolly.

And eheer with all the rest. XVe congratulate the winner, And wish him best of luck. Thougxh we were defeated, VVe know our team has pluck. .Xml when our side is wiiming.
