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.

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.

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.
