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.

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.
