eesa ' 1 12 The CAMETHYST ' fffff AA-.- ':V' .,..,. - In September, 1926, Deering opened its portals to over 300 students who ,QQQVQ ' 't'1 ' ':f ' ere to form the Class of 1930. We had settled down to the routine of duty, 1 ,.,,.,. .'.,,,,:- the class elected its officers. ,.1, N ..'. p In the fall of 1926, the annual Freshman Reception was held. The first gif ' if f i'1-'-3529111 part of the evening was taken up by a short program, and the rest of the evening gn- 'f-ff was given over to introductions and dancing. Q55 iffifvc fiii I The Sophs proved to be very good in basketball and gave the upper classes ilz some stiff competition. The team was made up of McKiniry, Huston, Mann, '11. Redlon and Williams. The Sophomore Class as a whole was very successful in '-.1jgQQ,.,':1f:.,x.5il, ,rqa .-,.,, everything undertaken. They were looking forward to the next year when they would be able to take all the class competition and place their men on the e ee'e1 -,-f-g , , g ffEZ':iu.-, ,:-.,-. 11.1 -.'-. :-: 4-,-r 5-53 - '- - y'-.1-.-2-1419: ' '-'-',':--.'

The class was well represented in the boys' varsity basketball team. The team was mostly made up of Juniors. Those who received their letters were McKiniry, Jordan, Williams, Favor and Mann. The class also received an honor by having Talt Williams placed on the boys' conference team. There were fifteen Junior girls on the varsity basketball team. Those who received their letters were Florence Jensen, Ruth Chambers, Lydia Titcomb, Helen Orr and Barbara Payson. Several of the Juniors received letters in varsity football. They were Ken lVlcKiniry, Don Favor and Talt Williams. The Juniors were not content to shine in basketball and football only, but they felt that they ought to come forth in track and baseball also. There were live Juniors who made their letters in outdoor track: John Peterson, Jack Eaton, Neal Skillings, Palmer Peterson and Charles Brown. George Libby fCaptain- electy and Sherman Irving won cross-country letters. We entered our Senior year with a new sense of dignity. The girls' basketball team went through a very successful season under the capable leadership of their captain, Florence Jensen. The others who gave their faithful services and received letters were, Lydia Titcomb, Helen Orr, Jackie Jason, Dot Dunn, Elizabeth Farrington, Rozilla Morton, Lenore Lincoln, Flor- ence Evans, Elizabeth Harmon, Elinor Paine, and Ruth Chambers. . The boys' basketball team this year deserves all the credit you can give them, and more, too. Talt Williams and Mac McKiniry made the Confer- ence team. Also, remember the individual playing of Don Favor, Ray Davis, George Jordan and Loring Mann. The baseball team was fortunate to have the services of one man for four years, Fred Plummer. The loyal Deeringites will long remember the playing of Jake Plummer, George Geer, Ken McKiniry and Ray Davis. Although the football team didn't have a very successful season, they showed what they could do in the Thanksgiving game. The playing of Ken McKiniry, Talt Williams, George Jordon and Don Favor will long be remembered. The year 1930 brought a champion's indoor track team to Deering. Those who will be remembered for their unceasing work are: John Peterson, Charles Allen, Palmer Peterson, Ted Brown, George Libby, Jack Eaton, 'fDick Estes, Bob Adams, Lewis Thompson, Dan Rose, Don Favor, Neil Skil- lings, Gordon Schumaker, Bill Griffiths, Bill Otis, 'iNat Haskell and Car- ' roll Sullivan. The Class of 1930 has been unusually successful in athletics. The loss of their strength and ability will be felt by the Class of 1931. L.-J X 2 f.: ZZ-f . f f 'S K Z 'vi g .'
