THE AMETHYST 11 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1927 September, 1923, the doors of the old Deering High School were opened to the last freshman class which would ever enter that building. After the newcomers had gained their bearings, learned the numbers of their homerooms, and re- covered somewhat from being most terribly green, some brave person suggested that class officers be elected. This idea was considered a worthy one and action was immediately taken. The following were elected: Richard Blanchard, President, Donald Butler, Vice-President, John Robinson, Secretary: Donald Prince, Treasurer. The first real event in our high school career was a memorable fresh- man reception. This turned out to be quite different from previousire- ceptions, in that the freshmen received themselves -instead of being wel- comed in ccremoniously by the pompous seniors. At any rate, everyone had a fine time, and it proved to be a great success. There were a number of students who possessed initiative and great courage under the glare of the upper classmen. Edward Stevens, john Gordon, and John Bates distinguished themselves in debating g while Ralph Nute, Charles Everett, and Frank Burns were highlights on the class athletic teams. The girls organized a basketball team, and with the aid of Miss Hughes, won several games. The members of the team were: Olive Dow. Laura Sherman, Adeline Dickey, Barbara Gurney, Eugenia Lane, and Elinor Smart. The next year changed the insignificant freshmen to revengeful sopho- mores, and what a difference one ye-ar can make! From pigtails to pugs, and from knickerbockers to long trousers. The upper classmen nodded to themselves and said wisely, Ah ha, they're growing up fast! A word to the wise is sufhcient, sophomores, don't try to advance too quickly. Time doesn't drag when you're in high school. The officers were elected as follows: Richard Johnson, President, Adeline Dickey, Vice-President, Arlene Johnson, Secretaryg Blanchard B-ates, Treasurer. lt is usually in the second year that the students begin to be known in the varsity activities. Mr. Quimby succeeded in finding several among our number who proved to be good material for his debating team. The class was also represented in girls' basketball, Olive Dow, Hazel Hodgdon, and Elinor Smart, all holdingregular positions on the team. In the Junior year things really began to happen. The first thing to be done was to elect officers, and the following were selected: Leigh Stevens, President, Evelyn Percy, Vice-President, Elinor Smart, Secre- tary, Allen Rogers, Treasurer.
