One glance was enough to tell the upper classmen that we were the greenest of freshmen. Yet in one respect, they were as green as we were. This was the opening day of the new Deering High School, and no one was very much at home. Ours was the honor of being the lirst freshman class to enter the new building. As soon as we had recovered from our fright, the following officers were elected: President, Wfilliam Hillg Vice-President, Helen Larrabeeg Secretary, Robert Richards, Treasurer, Richard Cobb. In order that the faculty, our parents, and ourselves, might be- come better acquainted with one another. a freshman reception was held, and a short program was given by some of our members. Many of our classmen entered the school activities. Wfe should be proud of the fact that Bud Hawkes and Rile NVilson made the varsity football team their first year in Deering. Rile Wfilson was Captain of the freshman football team. Among those who went out for basketball were: Robert Rich- ards, Mace and Hawkes, all of whom made the second team. Rich- ards. besides being the Captain of the freshman basketball team, also was the pitcher on the varsity baseball team. Vie returned to school in the fall of '25 quite advanced in years of knowledge f?j. In October, we elected our oflicers: President, Robert Richardsg Vice-President, Virginia Wfinslowg Secretary, iYilliam Anderson: Treasurer, W'illiam Howard. Again our class was well represented in the school activities. The band, cadets. debating, orchestra, and the glee clubs appealed to some. The major sports held charm for many. Once more in football, Hawkes and Xiiilson played on the varsityg while in basket- ball, Richards, Mace, and Blanchard represented us. Cotton and Richards were on the baseball squad. and track claimed Estes and Morang. Our class produced quite an array of girl basketeers of whom Betty XVright, Camilla Little, Ruth Paxon and Guendolyn Mardin made the varsity. As we came to our junior Year, we began to realize that time was slipping rapidly on, and that we must make the most of it. X-Ve elected the following officers: President, George Blanchardg Vice- X x 7' .kj A f ' 4 .cf 1 ,H fix . ,p--fX,XN1'I'gs.. V 1, mi. . fir? X 1' .l . lg?

XVe had a particularly large number on the cross-country and track teams and basketball. The two greatest events of our Junior year were the Junior Prom and the receiving of our class rings. Once again we have a distinc- tion of being the last class to choose the style and seal of a class ring. This year Deering has chosen one seal that will be set on every class ring of every class following us. Now, the eventful year has arrived and we find ourselves honest- to-goodness Seniors, the models for the Freshmen Cdon't laughj. In order to show that we are really as digniiied as we feel, we have ceased carrying book bags, and some have let their hair grow. In sports we have more than satished our hopes by beating Port- land in football, in track, in girls' basketball, and we hope to repeat these victories in baseball. To Bud Hawkes fell the honor of leading the winning football team, and he had as his followers: Mace, Tit- comb, Wilsoii, Richards, Norton, Valente, Bickford, and XfVhite. Many records have been broken this year, especially in track. where Estes, McKinery, Wfebb, Norton, Oakes and Saunders Offici- ated. Basketball, both for girls and boys, is not to be slighted. Those making the boys' varsity for the first time were Galbraith and Ander- song while Hacker, Allen, Jordon, and Hayden made the girls' varsity. For us the happy years at Deering are over and our battles lost or won. and for you who have yet to grace the name of Senior-may the years be as pleasant to you as they have been to us. We give into your hands the Royal Purple, and may you keep it as bright as we endeavored to keep it while under our care.
