JOHN DEWEY fProfessor of Philosophy and Education, Columbia Universityl The number of pupils in our public schools has rapidly increased since the de- pression. In the period between I930 and 1932 our school population has in- creased by the size of the population of the entire state of Montana. This in- crease represents more than the number of all the pupils enrolled in our public high schools in IQOO. It is in the the face of this increased need for schooling that operating expenses have been so indiscriminately slashed . . . Special education is being cut out of many of our schools in the program of economy. Health care is being cut down. Vocational training is being eliminated in many places, kindergartens done away with, school terms shortened, the number of teachers reduced, and the size of classes increased. The situation in regard to textbooks is also acute. . . Good education costs more than poor education. It is like good plumbing, good clothing, good furniture. If we want shoddy material, we can get it at a cheaper price, but if we want quality, we cannot expect to get it at the bargain mark-down rate to which education has been reduced in many parts of the Country. Taking a long-range view of the situation, we should compare the costs of edu- cating a child at an average of 591.00 a year, and the cost of keeping a man in prison at f300.00 a year. In cutting down our costs for education, we are almost certain to run up our bill for crime. About 40 years ago, a new idea dawned in education. Many things were added to schools which before had been considered out of their province. In a survey of secondary education in this Country made by the Federal Oflice of Education re- cently, it was found that the number of courses has practically doubled in recent years . . . What does this mean? Simply that the modern school offers to the pupils what the school of earlier days gave them, plus much that the home used to teach. As the nature of the home has been changed and as all our life has become more complex, due to the contributions of science and machinery, the child cannot de- pend upon home opportunities and tasks for his training. When girls used to learn the fine arts of cooking and sewing under the tutelage of their mothers and their grandmothers, it was not considered a frill or useless knowledge. Now the teaching of sewing and cooking, together with the chemistry of foods and a good deal more is transferred to the school under the name of Home Economics . . .The change from healthy country living to cramped city life has been met by physical education and health Work. Music, art and dancing, which children used to get in their home and community life, are woven into the school's activities. Civics, athletics, out-of-classroom interests give training in coopera- tive group living made necessary in our present complex civilization. Science, manual-training, and the crafts, should play a larger part in the schools . . . We do not need fewer of these subjects 3 we need more.

For proof of this statement, we need only to glance at his personal hobbies which are both many and worthwhile. Mr. Wing's hobbies are seasonal. In the spring, it is fishing, in the summer, it is studying, in the winter, and fall, it is reading. After a busy day at Deering, Mr. Wing, likes to delve into history, to read about the famous men of the past. His favorite reading is bi- ography and history. As he says, one can- not read history without reading biogra- phy, and one cannot read biography With- out reading history, so it is all the same thing. These hobbies are augmented by what Mr. Wing himself is pleased to call whittling, but what others name Wood- carving. This, he inserts into any season just when he feels in the mood for it. So we see that Leisure Time for Mr. Wing is valu- able and productive, and at the same time adds to his enjoyment of life. Scottie,' Wing E U Il illl il-.i ..l l. I l THE AMETHYS YVILLIAM E.

ANDREW Arboretum ELIZABETH A. TOWLE Publicity Pathfinders By RUTH H. CHASE Under the able leadership of Mrs. Neal W. Allen, the Pathfmders have just completed one of their most successful years. The year 1934 marks the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Pathfinders, an organization that has grown in ten years from a group of twenty members to one that now includes more than three hundred mothers of Deering and The purpose of the club is to supply a means of communication between parents and teachers, and to help in the general wel- fare of the school wherever possible and to promote friendship between the mothers themselves. The meetings this year, held on the second Tuesday of each month, have proved ex- ceptionally worth while. At each of the meet- ings, the music has been provided by talent from either Deering or Lincoln Junior High Schools which has added a great deal of in- terest to the programs. At the first meeting, Dr. Milton D. Proc- tor, president of Westbrook Junior College, spoke. He took for his subject, Parent and Teacher as Guide, Philosopher, Friend. An- other among the splendid programs which the Pathfinders have enjoyed was the one in which Dr. Franklin Johnson discussed the profitable use of leisure time, mentioning in particular intelligent reading, athletics, mu- sic, and hobbies. Dr. W'alter E. Russell, principal of Gorham Normal School, brought out in his talk, What Next,', the many questions which must be answered from childhood to manhood. Lincoln Junior High pupils. Mrs. Robert E. Owen, co-principal of Oak Grove Seminary, was another of the very fine speakers that the Pathfinders had the privilege of hearing this year. Her talk em- phasized the great investment that parents have in their children. Again, the Pathfinders were fortunate in securing for one of their speakers Miss Mary Ashby Cheek, Social Dean of Mount Holyoke' College, a very charming and interesting woman. Her talk gave a clear picture of the social problems confronting the modern girl. In March, Dean Paul E. Nixon of Bowdoin College, always a favorite in Portland, spoke on the Dis- connected Experiences Of a Dean. Perhaps the most interesting of the meet- ings this year was the December one. This meeting was composed of a sketch and a question box. The sketch, A Day at Deer- ingf' presented by the members of the Fresh- man class for the enjoyment of the club showed how closely the subjects which are studied in high school are correlated. The question box, conducted by Principal Wil- liam E. Wing, was of interest since it gave mothers a chance to solve many perplexing problems. E143 -3 AMETHYSTM.-il. We of Deering High are deeply indebted to the Pathtinders, not only for the splendid spirit of cooperation which they foster, but also for the tangible proof of their interest, evidenced by their gift of the clock in our tower. The establishment of a scholarship of two hundred dollars, to be given to some worthy member of the graduating class, has been completed this year. This is further in- dication of their loyalty to Deering High. 1 Former Presidents of Pathfinder: NIRS MRs MRS MRS. MRS RAYMOND S. OAKES 1924 to 1926 . HERBERT W. RHODES 1927 to 1930 CHAS. H.

Through the efforts of Mrs. Mary L. Snow, delegate to the National Educational Convention held in Chicago last year, who has faithfully served as president of the association during 1933-34, Portland teachers have had the Opportunity of hearing many interesting speakers discuss current educational problems. A feature ofthe year's program was the banquet at the Hotel Eastland in honor of Miss Florence M. Hale, nationally known educator and loyal daughter of Maine. William B.

LEIGHTON Treasurer Alumni Association For a number of years the Deering High School Alumni Association has been active in promoting annually one philanthropic activity-the awarding of a scholarship at graduation. This is the only project which the association has at- tempted to sponsor and for that reason it may seem to the casual observer that the organization does not function. The nature of the organization, however, is such that it is impractical to endeavor to carry on an active program and in place of meetings and social activities this service project has been supported by the alumni. About twenty years ago a small group of loyal alumni had the vision of what might be accomplished through a scholarship. By dint of hard work and careful planning, a sum ap- proximating five hundred dollars was raised and left with the oflicers as a nucleus for a permanent endowment fund. Down through the years the income from this has been used as a part of a fifty dollar scholarship award, the balance being secured through social ac- tivities and the payment of dues. The associa- tion also sponsors lectures each year to raise funds for the scholarship. In recent years the officers of the associa- tion realized that the fifty dollar scholarship was inadequate to meet the present-day col- lege expenses. An active campaign for mem- bers was launched with the result that in IQ3I and 1932 a scholarship for one hundred dollars was given. It is hoped that soon a scholarship of two hundred and fifty dollars will replace the original one of fifty and that eventually the former amount will be given to both a boy and a girl of each graduating class. This, we believe, will be a very much worth while project for the Alumni Associa- tion to support. Members of this year's Senior class auto- matically become members of the Deering High School Alumni Association upon grad- uation.

Vllith our teachers and our principal, lVIr. William E. VVing, we have contracted a debt which is unre- deemable. They have patiently devoted to our wel- fare the best of their training and experience, so that RICIIARD J- QUINN we in turn might go forth onto life's broad highway better equipped to understand the fundamentals of living life more completely. A poet once asked Is not true leisure one with true toil? As a result of pres- ent economic conditions, the graduate of today enters a world of rapidly chang- ing conditions. He has available an unusual amount of leisure time, and is ex- pected to dispose of this time in a way which is advantageous and beneficial to his own personal welfare. lVe, the class of 1934, may easily achieve these expectations by applying the training we have received at Deering. In parting, let us always remember and practice the ideals of life taught to us in Deering. Let us so live that nothing we may do will ever reflect adversely on the school which has done so much to train us for our lifeis work. Let us all show our love for Deering by continually striving for the greatest accomplishments and for positions of leadership in whatever We undertake. In playing the game of life, let us not over-emphasize the score but play the game with all the persistency of true sportsmen. E201 THE AMETHYST Douglas P.

Chase National Honor Society One of the highest honors given to a member of the senior class is election to the National Honor Society. Students are chosen from the upper third of their class for scholastic achievement, character, leadership, and service to the school' during their four years. In IQZI, the National Association of Secondary School Principals decided that there should be some recognition made for students who have achieved distinc- tion in the qualities for which schools were organized. Menibership in the National Honor Society is an honor toward which every Deering student should striveg it means enrollment in an organization which, although only thirteen years old, has over I,IOO chapters and 65,000 members. Twenty-one members of the class of IQ34 were awarded National Honor So- ciety emblems. Among these are representatives from several school organiza- tions as well as many outstanding athletes. i , ,.....,.l...,-T..,a..,- ,WW ,, - .gg-T, j '1: :5:.

Outstanding members from its ranks have been in almost every school activity. Each, we feel sure, has done his best to improve the club or sport to which he belonged. In football, those from this class who dis- tinguished themselves were George Larsen, Alton Irish, Robert Dyer, Nunzi Casavola, Lawrence Sweetzer and Jack Olsen. Five juniors have starred in track: Frank Perry, Richard Sawyer, John Rich, Gordon Wil- liams, and Ralph Finch. From the third year class was one member of the swimming team, Seth Larrabee, and the captains of both boys' and girls' tennis teams, Warren Paine and Barbara Drummond. In basketball, a member of the Class of 1935, Armand Harris, has been on the var- sity. On the girls' team were Eleanor Smart, Agnes Spink, Augusta Timberlake, and Dorothy Wiggin. In girls, field hockey were many leaders from the Junior Class. Among these were Elinor Gilliatt, Dorothy Wallace, Selina Dunbar, Frances Libby, Agnes Spink and Eleanor Smart. Frank Perry and George Larsen were important to baseball. Virginia Maguire, Robert Rich and Elea- nor Smart have represented their class ni de- bating. Virginia Magure likewise has been cast in several important dramatic roles. The school orchestra, band and glee clubs also had many members of our class strengthen- ing the organization. Two of the Art Club oflicers are juniors, Eleanor Smart, president, and Barbara Drummond, secretary, many juniors are ac- tive in the varied Art Club work.

E.xeculit'c Com mittee Sophomore Class Review By DOL'GLAS BRAGDON With its customary zeal the Class of 1936 has completed another eventful year in its history, being well represented in the scholastic, athletic and social life of the school. Two years of our high school days are behind us, and we feel that we have now become a component part of Deering High School. Some of the talents of the members of the Sophomore Class has been shown in track. For proof we offer you XVoodrow Oakes, Robert Lyna, Robert Allen, Neal Allen, -lack Marble and john Kemp in indoor track, Lo- gan Bullitt, Woodrow Oakes, Robert Farr, Robert Lyna, Neal Allen, Raymond Sher- man, jack Marble, John Kemp and Green- licld Sawyer in outdoor track. Football called out a goodly number ofthe class. Matthew Flaherty, class president, made the tackle position on the varsity, while several others placed on the second and 135- pound teams. Among these were Logan Bul- litt, Raymond Sherman, jack Marble, Gil- bert Marks, Paul Stevens, Richard Moran. On the tennis courts were Dana Thoits and Catherine Van Fleet from our class. Many were Ollt for basketball, a popular sport this year. Two boys, Craige Blanchard and lylatt Flaherty succeeded in making the varsity. Twovluniors in baseball were Craige Blanchard and Bert Lester. The ranks of the girls' basketball attracted Ruth Corthell, Esther Nelson, Iflvira Val- ente, and Lydia Black, while field hockey had on its squad Lucille Day, Helen Littlefield, Dorothy jones, Barbara Knowles and Alicia Wilbur. Marie McPhetres upheld the honor of the Class of 1936 by her playing of the part of Nan Smith, the blushing bride, in the Dra- matic Club Play, The Restless jewel, and by her fine acting in the Bowdoin Play.

Execrctive Committee Freshman Class Review By LAURENCE PELTON Tuesday, September 12, 1933, promptly at IO A.M. 375 slightly awed freshmen crossed the portals of Deering High School. A moment long awaited and ever to be remembered had arrived. Four years of high school life for the members of the Class of 1937 were beginning. Library and laboratory, classroom and gym - each offered its opportunity for development of mind and body. Shortly after school opened, a call was is- sued to freshmen to come out for athletics. Many freshmen reported and many made g00d. Outstanding in girls' field hockey were Amy Blom, Frances Down, Suzanne Hanna- ford, Phyllis Hennessey, Florence jannell, Jacquelyn Lucas, Phyllis McCann, Virginia Percy, Margaret Stone and hiarie VVebb. Football boys included Laurence Andrew, Gail Foster, Albert Kilgore, Clinton Gulli- fer, Morgan Lee, Leander Mingo, Norman Webber and Norman Sawyer. Swimming: Earle Ingalls and Ernest Or- cuttg basketball: Ronald Dugas, Merrill Geer, Albert Kilgore, and Norman Sawyerg track: Laurence Andrew, Laurence Pelton, and Roderick Steele. Among the new entries of Deering High there were many who were very talented in dramatics, art and music. Because there were many new musicians and few vacancies, a new Orchestra was formed for freshmen. The class in December presented at a meeting of the Pathfmders' Club and again at the Freshman Reception the program, A Day At Deering, depicting a typical school day from the Opening exercises to the closing bell. The sketch, a correlation of customs and costumes, showed how different high school subjects are correlated in class work. A rc- ception and dance in the gymnasium fol- lowed the program. The reception was under the direction of Arad F.. Linscott, faculty ad- visor ofthe Freshman Class.

Basketball Team By EILEEN ASHER Nine victories without a single defeat is the enviable record of Coach Anne E. McKechnie's 1934 championship girls' basketball team. Outscoring their op- ponents two to one, the team led by Captain Ruth Walker tallied a total of 251 points to their opponents II 5 markers. A Besides the accurate basket shooting of Captain YValker, who averaged better than I6 points a game, the play of the two guards, Agnes Spink and Augusta Timberlake, and the speed and aggressiveness of Eleanor Smart were outstanding. The closest game of the year was the in- town contest with Portland in the Portland High gym. The Purple girls fought a bitter contest that was decided only in the final 40 seconds of play when Ruth Walker dropped a foul shot for a single point victory. The only other close game was at West- brook when the Deering team held olf a threatening last period rally and emerged victorious, 25-20. All in all, Deering had a top-rate team on the courts this year, as its record indicates. Splendid work by the guards, clever co- operation by the two centers, and a combi- nation of good team work and shooting in the forward section brought Deering its rec- ord of nine victories without a single set- back, a mark that no other team, either boys' or girls' could approach in this corner of the State of Maine. Efficient substitutes played no little part in the Purple's record. Letter Winners in Girls' Basketball in 1934 were Frances Quint, Mary Rice, Ger- trude Holland, Ruth Walker, Augusta Tim- berlake, Agnes Spink, Eleanor Tracy, Elea- nor Smart, Eileen Asher, Harriett Cook, Dorothy Wiggin, Ruth Andrew and Ruth Corthell.

Cross Country By NUNZI CASAVOLA Running true to the Deering Cross Country tradition, this year's group of har- riers won both of their dual meets and emerged fourth at the University of Maine Interscholastics. In their first meet of the year against a powerful Gorham Normal team the Purple outsped their rivals to win, and later defeated the Bow- doin Freshmen 25-3 I in a closer dual over the Brunswick course. In running against the Gorham Normal cluster the Purple met with the toughest course in the stateg a three and a half mile trail that wound through bushes and bram- bles and up over hills that would have made even our stoutest ancestors quail before them. Although Morton of the Teachers finished in the van of the field the following Deering men were so closely bunched that they easily took the match by a wide margin. Diminutive Phil Murphy was the first Deering man to finish with Bob Fuller and William Kemp close behind in a tie for sec- ond position. Harry Cook and Allen Bonney finished fifth and sixth respectively. Against Bowdoin Harvell's men were faced with an entirely different environment, but the result of the race showed how quickly they adapted themselves to it. In contrast to the rugged Gorham course and in keeping with Jack Mageels policy of road-running the Purple Harriers were forced to compete on a straight road entirely devoid of obstruc- tions and hills. But again the superiority of Harvell's coaching aserted itself. The first two men to finish were Bowdoin runners, one of them Ditto Bond, a former Harvell-coached man, and the next five wore the spangles of Deer- ing High to bunch the Purple's tally into a winning score. In this meet Bill Kemp was the first Deering man in with Murphy right on his heels. Fuller, Cook and Bonney fin- ished in the order mentioned. These two meets proved that even though there were no individual stars on the team capable of defeating the field in any meet, the team was one of the best balanced ones ever to represent the school. No opposing runner ever cut into the ranks of the five runners who always finished together up near the front. Y E843 THE AMETHYST INDOOR TRACK SQUAD Four-cornered Meet , After leading through I4 of the I8 events slated in the 8th Annual Four- Cornered Track Meet held at the Exposition Building, the Deering High boardsmen let South Portland's high geared track combine forge ahead for a mo- ment, only to lose the meet in the final event on the program. Five records went soaring as the Capers edged Deering 56 to 54, Portland following with 30 points and Thornton with 22. Johnny Casavola went speeding away with individual honors by knocking two old records from the books and then topping his eveningfs performance by a smashing fourth leg in the intermediate relay, won by Deer- ing. His three firsts totalling I5 points won him individual scoring honors. F our-Comered Meet Records Junior 40-yard dash-held by Pierce, Deering, 1933. Time 4 4-5 sec.

Games For the first time since 1921, a relay team represented Deering at the annual Boston Athletic Association Track Carnival. The pairings resulted in Coach Harvell's team competing against Everett and South Boston. Deering gained one-half point by taking second in the three-lap relay won by Everett in 3:43 4-5. Despite a ten-yard lead which Casavola handed over his next man, the pace proved too fast, and Bob Fuller's last lap bid fell shy. One of the gamest running stunts of the B. A. A. games was that of Gordon Williams, Captain-elect of 1935, who demonstrated his grit and staying powers when in the second leg of the relay, though badly spiked, Wil- liams carried on for two laps with one shoe completely olf.

Girls' Field Hockey By CAROLYN Wrccm Under the brilliant leadership of Captain Harriett Cook, the Deering High School girls' hockey team lost but a single game during the 1934 season. Scoring ten points to their opponents three, Deering won three, tied two, and lost one contest, the latter by a one-point margin. At the beginning of the year Coach Ruth E. Merrin and Assistant Coach Grace Della Torre decided to build a team around the six available veteran letter girls. Credit for the success of this year's team should be given the squad for faithfulness in attending practice sessions and making possible the re- sults achieved and Coach Merrin for de- veloping one of the best hockey teams to ever represent Deering. When the first call for practice was is- sued, about 35 girls reported. Only six of this number were experienced, yet all Deer- ing was hopeful for a good season. Frances Gannon was playing her fourth year as goal- keeper. With Capt. Cook as left inner and Agnes Spink as right inner, Coach Merrin had two dependable veterans for these posi- tions. Salina Dunbar and Carolyn Wiggin played the center forward position, and Eli- nor Cilliatt and Eleanor Henry the right and left wings respectively. These six girls en- abled Deering to have a speedy forward line. Eleanor Smart, Eleanor Sloan and Frances Libby played halfbacks, with Ger- trude Holland and Dorothy Wallace in the fullback positions. Developing a strong de- fense to back up the forward line, prospects for an exceptionally fast team at Deering looked good. The opening game was played on our field against Bridgton Academy. Bridgton proved to have a fast, scrappy team. Althbugh Deering was threatened seriously several times, the work of goalie Gannon and the fullbacks saved the day for the Purple and White. The game ended a scoreless tie. Our next game was scheduled with Frye- burg Academy at Fryeburg. The outcome of the game seemed uncertain as we were play- ing on Fryeburg's own field. Harriett Cook put Deering in the lead by a spectacular play early in the game. Aided by our backrield and the passing of Capt. Cook, Eleanor Henry tallied for our second score. The final whistle found Deering leading 2-0. In this game the playing of Sloan, Smart, Cook and Henry was outstanding. E923 THE AMETHYST Girls' Field Hoclcey Deering entertained Fryeburg here in our third game. The field was slippery and wet, making the play difficult for both teams. A snappy team defense plus some quick pass- ing by Eleanor Sloan helped Harriett Cook to score the only goal of the game as Deer- ing won, I-o. The Fryeburg team was at all times threatening. Again goalie Gannon saved the game as she cleared two beautiful shots preventing possible scores. Eleanor Sloan, Captain Cook and Frances Gannon starred. Our in-town rival, Portland High School, produced a hockey team this fall and our fourth game found Deering matched against Portland in the stadium. Despite some quick defensive work on the part of Portland's star halfback, Dot Barker, Deering piled up the score. Lucille Day, a Sophomore find, scored two goals for Deering. Carolyn Wiggin and Salina Dunbar each made one. In spite of the loss of Capt. Cook, because of an injury re- ceived while practicing, Deering under the leadership of Acting-Capt. Eleanor Smart, again came out on top, this time 4-o. Smart and Day saved the day for us by their good all round playing. Agnes Spink, speedy in- ner, by her fast play helped to score the goals. Playing in a snow storm, with the ele- ments against them, Deering suffered its first defeat at the hands of Bridgton Academy. Against our stubborn defense Bridgton scored and one goal proved to be sufficient margin to win. We again played Portland on their field in the last game of the year. Coach Merrin started her second team in order to give them experience for next year. With part of the varsity on the sideline, Deering won 3-0. Dunbar made all the goals, the playing of Dunbar and Spink was outstanding. Those who received their letters for this year were Elinor Gilliatt, Agnes Spink, Carolyn Wiggin, Selina Dunbar, Captain Harriett Cook, Eleanor Henry, Eleanor Sloan, Eleanor Smart, Frances Libby, Doro- thy Wallace,Gertrude Holland,Frances Gan- non and Manager Ruth Andrew. Ruth An- drew was one of the best hockey managers Deering ever had and under her careful su- pervision, the whole season ran smoothly. The second squad reported regularly for practice throughout the season and deserves credit for furnishing the varsity much stiff competition. The work of this group goes un- herald but is indispensable to the success of any athletic team. After the close of the regular season sched- ule, class games were played. Keen rivalry resulted in a wide interest in these inter- class matches. The freshmen were defeated by the sophomores and by the juniors while the contest of the sophomores and juniors ended in a tie game. Prospects are bright for a successful team next year with the following players avail- able as the nucleus of the 1934 squad: Elinor Gilliatt, Agnes Spink, Eleanor Smart, cap- tain-electg Frances Libby, Dorothy Wallace, Selina Dunbar, Charlotte Hennessey, Lucille Day, Helen Littlefield, Gertrude Gannon, Dorothy jones, Barbara Knowles, Dorothy Cook, Audrey Brunt, Ethel Leavitt, Jeanette Landean, Thelma Libby, Barbara Bisbee, Eleanor Berry, Arlene Clark and Alice Nurse.

LESTER Deering's Swimming Team boasts of a fine record for the 1934 season, es- pecially for the splendid showing made at the Second Annual State Interscholas- tic Swimming Meet held in the Bowdoin College pool at Brunswick. The team placed second, thereby being a runner-up for the state title. The Bowdoin Meet is the goal of all school swimming teams and the competition it pro- vides serves as a basis for comparing these teams. Because of their showing in the Bow- doin Meet, Deering natators rank high among the schools of the state. Swimming is a most rapidly growing sport in America today. A swimming league was formed for Southwestern Maine this year for the purpose of providing competition be- tween schools interestod in this sport. It is believed that that this league will expand and be improved, thus developing swimming in this section. It is equally popular with the girls as with boys. Although this is not true at Deering, girls swimming teams are being formed in other schools and keen competition is being enjoyed by the girls on the teams. At Deer- ing it is as yet a boys' sport and the increase in one year of the number of boys trying out for the team shows its popularity. 1934 Swimming Results Deering 26-Edward Little 39 Deering 22-Portland 43 State Interrcholastic Swimming M eat Deering 38-Y.

Games played included matches with Portland, Westbrook, Edward Little, Kennebunk, Bowdoin Freshmen, Hebron, Bridgton and Thornton. The first call for practice brought out two veterans, John Rich and Warren Paine, from last year's squad and a number of players with tennis experience but who had never played for Deering. Among the new men were Milton Nixon, Dana Thoits, George Barker, Armand Har- ris, John Stevens and George Waldron. Fort Fairfield High's team, state champions in both singles and doubles and Deering's out- standing opponent, tourcd the state for the fourth successive year without the loss of a single game. On June I and 2, more than a dozen schools took part in the Second Animal Southwestern Maine Interscholastic Boys' Tournament held on the clay courts of the Portland Country Club.

Dramatic Club By Rose W1coN For Years the most prominent club in Deering has been the Dramatic Club. hlembership in the club has grown to such an extent that Nliss Frances E. Hues- tOI1, faculty advisor, has had to make restrictions. Seniors who wish may be- come honorary membersg underelassmen must compete for membership. Three assemblies have been given this year by the Dramatic Club. The first was a cut- ting: from Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing in which -lean Raeburn and lYil- liani Yan Uundy played the leading parts. ln correlation with the Glee Clubs, the Dramatic Club presented the annual Christ- mas Pageant. This was the third year for the llowdoin One-Act Play Contest when Deering was host to lfryeburg Academy. In the sectional contest for the Bowdoin Interscholastic Play Prince Cup Deering. presenting f'Tiekless 'l'in1e', by Susan Ulaspell, was the winner over lfryeburg Academy, which presented Station YYYY, by Booth Tarl-zington. An annual event at Deering is tl1e Dramat- ic Club Play. This year members of the club rendered their interpretation of The Rest- less Jewel. The plot deals with the theft of one of the world's most famous jewels. Vir- ginia Maguire, who took the part of a wom- an detective, and Leland Means played the leading roles. The club made a profit Of 9965.00 on the play. :Xt All Deering Night when every organi- zation in Deering presented an act, the Dra- matic Club contributed a Chinese version of Romeo and Juliet. The feature of the bur- lesque, an exciting fight performed with kitchen knives, added to the fun. Dorothy Thompson enacted the role of Juliet.

ND Club By Rtrrn XVALKER The D Club, one of the most active organizations in Deering High School, is composed of students who have earned a letter in debating or some athletic ac- tivity. The purpose of the club is to promote good sportsmanship, authorize the awarding of letters and encourage wider interest in school athletics. The D Cub has been unusually active this year. It has sponsored two dances. the annual alumni Thanksgiving dance, and the second annual All-Deering Night which turned out to be a big event of the year. The club organized three football rallies this year. The first rally preceded thc open- ing Portland game. Another was held in thc gymnasium before the Tlianksgiving game. The third was a new idea at Deering and was a great success. Held the night before the South Portland game at hlemorial Field, the feature of the evening was a huge bonfire which lighted up the surrounding neighbor- hood. 'l'his was followed by speeches by former Deeringites. ll Over l,2OO spectators and contestants at- tended the Winter Carnival, a new school event this year. Nine snowshoe, ski, and ob- stacle races, and several skating contests provided plenty of fun. The Coronation of Miss Marion Atherton as Carnival Queen was the most colorful event of the program. 'l'he Deering-Cony girls' basketball game af- forded much excitement and was followed by dancing in the gymnasium. Late in the spring the D Club also spon- sored a Golf Tournament at the Municipal Links. Over one hundred students partici- pated in this event which was under the su- pervision of Physical Director George H. Vinall, club adviser. loo j THE AMETHYST-ll..-1 Front: Kenneth Welch, Ralph Haskell, Jr., Vincent Welch, president: Dorothy Sims, vice president: Eleanor Smart, secretary: W Ph'l' Ch R th M'Il Donald Miller, jr., treasurer, Carolyn iggin, rip apman, u 1 er.

Debating Club By CAROLYN WIGGIN Unusual programs, emphasizing current events, civic problems, and interna- tional' relationships, have formed the keynote of this year's Debating Club's work. These programs were carried on by members of the club augmented occasionally by an outside speaker. The Pirate Dance, a winter sports party, and a spring pic- nic comprised the social calendar. Half-hour meetings have been held the first and third Tuesdays of each month at one o'clock. The executive board has met on alternating Mondays to plan the meetings. By observing a formal routine, the members became familiar with parliamentary proceed- ure. The programs which were in charge of Carolyn Wiggin, were well advertised by the publicity manager, George Little. Rather new in form and subject was this year's type of programs. Each meeting was developed as an open forum. The speaker would talk fifteen to twenty minutes on his subject, which was then open to club dis- cussion and questions. School subjects, Hit- lerism, Communism, Socialism, Facism, the N. R. A., Monetary problems, China and japan were some of the subjects studied. These bi-weekly meetings, have proved in- formative and enjoyable. The club has not limited itself to serious and practical work, for in addition, there II IOI have been many memorable social activities. For many years, the Debating Club has sponsored the first dance of the season. This year, November II was the date of the Pi- rate Dance. Red, green, black and yellow streamers were used to decorate the gym. VVith a spotlight and several skeletons, the decorations were complete. Outstanding in fun was the winter sports party held in January at the home of Ralph Haskell, jr. To this party each member was intitled to invite one guest. Therefore, an unusually large group spent the afternoon skiing, tobogganing and snowballing. After- wards a picnic supper was held inside fol- followed by an evening of ping-pong and dancing. To complete the year a spring picnic was held early in June. Swimming, dancing, and games made the day a barrel of fun. This year has, indeed, been outstanding in the history of the Debating Club.

Nature Club By PRISCILLA Pufrz Lichens in their Natural Surroundings has been the subject studied by the Nature Club this year. Early in the school year, the club accepted the invita- tion of Mrs. William E. Wing to compete in the State of Maine Garden Exhibit and Spring Flower Show, sponsored by the Garden Club Federation of Maine, held May 30 to june 4, at The Danish Village, Scarboro. Mrs. Wing suggested that the club make a study of lichens and have that plant the sub- ject of its exhibit. The club members de- cided upon this course of study and desig- nated Tuesday and Friday afternoons to work on their project. Field trips in search of lichens were made and study sessions held. As there were to be no decorations in the room in which the Nature Club arranged its exhibit, part of the club work included the planning and drawing of a diagram to be submitted to heirs. Wing, president of the Garden Club Federation of Maine. Mr. Arthur H. Norton, curator of the Port- land Society of Natural History and presi- dent of the Cumberland Audubon Society and of the .Iosselyn Botanical Society, was guest speaker at one of the club's meetings. Mr. Norton gave the club members much information on the care of lichens, their habitat and many other facts about them. He also accompanied the group on an inter- II IO2 esting field trip along the Old Tow path in Stroudwater. The Nature Club has not confined itself entirely, however, to the study of lichens. Early in the spring the club visited the Au- dubon Rooms and later took many bird walks in conjunction with flower study. The study of stars, too, has been included in this year's program. Thirty students have been actively en- rolled in the club this year. Dues of five cents a month are collected. The club is under the general supervision of Miss Mary H. Jacobs, linglish teacher, who accompanies the stu- dents on all field trips. Undoubtedly 1934 has been a very suc- cessful year for the Nature Club. Probably never in its history has the club been able to arouse so much interest in one definite pro- ject, and it is certain that those who have helped to make this project worthwhile have not been the losers.

Art Club By DOROTHEA WALLACE Members of the Art Club have been responsible for many outstanding school events this year. The club has sponsored several entertainments including the an- nual' Art Club dance. Unusual St. Patrick decorations and novelty dances added to the fun of this event. Miss Virginia A. Murphy was chairman of the committee. Students were entertained by a novel pro- gram at a joint meeting of the Art Club and L'Atelier, Deering French Club, when living pictures of the works of famous French art- ists were portrayed by members of the Art Club. Beautiful Christmas Cards with a unique design picturing Scotty, Mr. Wing's dog, against a Deering background were hand painted by members of the club. One of the highlights of the year was the annual sketching trip when seventeen mem- bers under the supervision of Miss julia M. Seabury, faculty advisor, lunched at Grant's in Scarboro and later enjoyed opportunity for sketching. An undertaking this year sponsored by the club for the first time was the art exhi- bition and tea. New student interest was created by this exhibit in reproductions of the world's best masterpieces. E 103 Preceding every social function at Deering, clever posters advertising the event have ap- peared in various home rooms. Because the many beautiful posters would not be possible without the Art Club, students should ap- preciate the school spirit of this organization. Members of the Art Club on the staff of 1934 Amethyst include Marion Atherton and Russell Lopez. As a fitting climax to a most successful year the club added to its collection three re- productions: 4'Cavalier with Red Coat, a painting by the French painter, Andries, Peonies by the American Barse and An- gels by Josiah Reynolds. The Art Club has taken an active part in all Deering activities from the Freshmen Re- ception early in the school year to the All- DeeringNightprogram presented this spring. More than fifty students have been ac- tively enrolled in the club during the past school year. J THE AMETHYST l Junior French Club By DOUGLAS BRAGDON Prior to this year all first year French students had to join the French Club composed of pupils from all classes. Because of their lack of knowledge in the tongue, they understood little of the programs. In order to eliminate this handi- cap, this year a Junior French Club was organized. The purpose of the club is to offer begin- ning French students an opportunity for self expression and social intercourse in French and for an increased knowledge of France and its people through their songs, games, and plays. Meetings were held every other Monday in the Music Room at 3 p.m. Dues ofa quar- ter were charged in order to purchase games and songs for use at club meetings. During the year the club had a standing invitation from the Senior French Club to at- tend all ofthe programs. At the first meeting the story of Little Red Riding Hood was told in French followed by a dramatic presentation. The cast included Marie McPhetres, Phyllis Brown, Eleanor Roche, Walter Singles, Logan Bullett, Ferne Parkman and Jane Foster. The skit was followed by a musical pro- gram consisting of The Big Bad Wolf sung in French and several other French songs. The pianist was Eleanor Roche. At Christmas time the Junior and Senior French Clubs held a joint meeting at which the two one-act plays Noel en France and Christmas in America were presented. In March the club unanimously voted to mount two posters which were donated to it by Mr. Wing. The posters, one depicting a scene in Normandy and the other a scene from southern France, will be hung in the classroom of Miss Mira L. Dolley, faculty adviser of the club. On April II, in correlation with the Senior French Club, the club members enjoyed a tea dance held in the gymnasium. This was the club's final activity of the year, and was largely attended. lf 1041 .fi-THE AMETHYST Front' Margaret Blackmer, Olive Pratt, Leland Means, Pauline Pratt, Philip Chapman, President, Ralph Cobb, Vice President: Barbara Bennett, Secretary: Thomas Owens, Treasurerg Barbara Todd, Donald Miller.

Senior French Club By BARBARA I. BENN1-:'r'r Membership in L'Atelier, Deering French Club, is optional to pupils studying second and third year French. The name of the club, L'Atelier, means The Work- shop. The purpose of the club is to acquaint the members with phases of French life and customs which are not studied in the classroom. At the first meeting more than eighty members were present. It was not until the second meeting, which was devoted to busi- ness, that the officers were elected. The programs have been very beneficial to the students. At Christmas time the club presented two clever one-act plays showing the difiierence between the holiday celebra- tion in America and France. Cast of Noel in France included Mar- garet Jones, Vera Lundy, Ernestine Bart- lett, Richard White, Eugene McCann, Elaine Wright, Carolyn Libbey, and Nedra Haskell. Those in the cast of Christmas in America were Barbara Lord, Logan Bullitt, and James Bunting. At meetings members of the club gave talks in French on the life of the people. Be- sides being entertained by more than thirty of its own members, the club has heard Madame Davis of Paris, Miss Frances Woodbury of the school of music in Fon- tainbleau, and Mr. Granville Oakes, who spent a year in the Lycee Henri IV in Paris. At the joint meeting of L'Atelier and the Art Club members of the French Club gave papers on the life and Works of French art- ists. Art Club members presented living pic- tures ofthe paintings of each artist. At the last meeting of the club on April II, members enjoyed a tea dance in the gymna- sium. The check room represented a French cafe and the sign Cafe de Paris was hung on the wall over the door. Refreshments in the form of pop were served. Although this was the first time that a tea dance has been attempted, this one created much fa- vorable comment.

Geology Club By BERTHA RoLL1Ns For the first time all field trips this year were conducted under the auspices of the Geology Club. Fall field trips were made to Redstone Quarry and Mt. Chocorua in New Hampshire, to the feldspar quarries at Mt. Apatite, Auburn and to the Maine Desert, Freeport, Maine. The club activities included the use of the telescope loaned to the City of Portland by are awarded to owners of the three best col- lections. This has served as impetus to the Maine Society of Natural History. Each club member must have viewed at least the moon and two planets and be able to iden- tify five constellations. Meetings were held Tuesday evenings in Room 205. Geological talks were presented by members and by guest speakers, includ- ing hir. H. Wallace Noyes of West Street, who possesses an extensive collection of minerals gathered all over the world. Club members are encouraged to collect rocks and minerals. During the second week in May each member brings in l1is specimens, makes out a card for each, and arranges them in an exhibit in the laboratory. Prizes E IO6 further collecting by many students after leaving school. Deering High School and the Geology Club are fortunate in possessing one of the finest collections of coral of any high school in New England. This was originally the colleection of Captain Alvin Hall and was gathered from the East Indies and the Medi- terranean Sea. It was presented to Deering High School by his daughter, Mrs. Jerome Leighton of Tremont Street. The collection, valued at more than gI,OOO, is well preserved in glass cabinets in Room 205 where it is viewed every year by hundreds of students and visitors.

The Band Club Only members of the Band are eligible for membership in the Band Club. At club meetings matters pertaining to the welfare of the Band are discussed, and plans for the year are agreed upon. The meetings are held in the auditorium every Monday morning during the twenty minute period. After a brief discussion of business matters a program is presented by the members, each member taking some active part during the year. This year it was decided to have a short review of some well-known opera given each week. Several operas reviewed were Bohemian Girl, The Flying Dutchman, Lohengrin, and The Ring Cycle. Some members contributed solos while other ex- plained the mechanisms of their instruments. Weekly dues of five cents were collected, and the proceeds were used to buy flowers for sick members and to purchase a book of new college marches. The Band Club has sponsored the sale of small Deering em- blems in the form of a shield with purple and white letters, which each member of the student body is entitled to wear. The money thus earned has been also devoted to the purchase of new music. One of the outstanding social events of the year in which the Band Club has partici- pated was the sleigh ride. The club members and their friends enjoyed a sleigh ride to Cumberland Center where they spent the II IO8 evening by playing games and cards, per- forming stunts and dancing. At Lewiston the band presented a success- ful concert at the convention of the Maine Teachers' Association. Members of the Band Club who made the trip had the opportunity of seeing The House of Magicf' a demon- stration of modern electrical developments, presented by the General Electric Company. just before climbing into the buses for the return trip the members visited a restaurant. Because of their healthy appetites, sand- wiches, ginger ale and other good things soon disappeared. Every member will heartily agree that a busy as well as pleasant year has been en- joyed. Many members of the Band Club made the trip to Lewiston to participate in the VVestern lylaine Music Festival. The Deering Band under the leadership of Frank J. Rigby presented a concert in the morning and took part in the evening program at the Lewiston Armory in which all bands, orchestras, and glee clubs attending the festival joined.

The Girls' Club has an enrollment of over one hundred members, while the Boys' Club exceeds half this number. Both of these clubs are under the super- vision of Miss Emily E. Chase, musical director. The combined Glee Clubs have arranged many musical entertainments during the school year. The most important was the Minstrel Show on April 13, one of the first ever held at Deering. This successful min- trel included facetious impersonations, hum- orous sketches, dances, solos, a large chorus, and many songs. Following the show, a dance was held in the gymnasium. The annual Christmas pageant, which was given at the Christmas assembly, was also presented by the Glee Clubs. Mary was por- trayed by Roberta French. Christmas Carols were sung by the members of the girls' club who represented angels with halos around their heads. The Girls' Glee Club held their meetings at one oiclock every Monday and Friday. Each month they put on a program in order to show the talent of the club. These programs, which included solos and duets, were car- ried out carefully and well. The Boys' Glee Club rehearsals were held Wednesday noons and Friday mornings. In- teristing programs were presented by this clu . H1091 THE AMI-3THYST i Murray Killum, Rex Yerxa, Richard Chase, Douglass Morrill, Ralph Morglidge, William Wright, Robert Miles, Thomas Sheehy Stamp Club By DOUGLAS Meiuunt. VVith Mr. C. VVilliam Petersen as faculty adviser, a small enthusiastic group of freshmen met November 23, 1933, to reorganize the Deering High School Phil- atelic Association. Although it was disbanded for two Years, the club is now among the most active in the school in consideration of its size. The purpose of the association is to create an interest in philately, to secure knowledge from postage stamps and to increase each member's collection by trading. Half-hour meetings for the sixteen enrolled members have been held each Monday noon at one o'clock in Room 1o1. A period of dis- cussion and stamp trading has been enjoyed at the close of each business session. At the first meeting the club was formally organized and officers elected. At the follow- ing meetings interesting exhibitions of stamps, postcards, and covers were shown by Douglas Adams, Richard Chase, Rex Yerxa, Robert Mills, William VVright, Mur- ray Killum and Douglas Merrill. Interesting student talks have been given from time to time. William Heskett and Stan- ley Read talked on Bogus and Counterfeit Stamps, W'illiam Wright on MI-Iow Stamps Are lX'Iade, Richard Chase on Errors in Printing and Plate Varieties, and Douglas Merrill on Early United States Issuesf' II 1IO A committee. headed by Douglas Adams as chairman, made plans for and carried out a stamp exhibition in May in the school li- brary. The exhibit consisted chiefiy of United States issues and was so successful that this project is now planned as an annual event. The club has attained its objectives as many of the students have increased their collections and have secured much knowledge from the discussions. The Association owes its wonderful suc- cess to Mr. Petersen, its faculty advisor, and Douglas Adams, its assistant adviser. hir. Petersen has been collecting stamps for a number of years and is a member of the Port- land Stamp Club while Douglas Adams specializes in United States issues. The club prides itself in having as honorary members, Mr. Ernest W. Ochampaugh, Mr. Frank O. Stack and Principal William E. W'ing. The members this year hope that they have laid a foundation upon which to build next year's club. II THE AMETHYST Ifmul: Barbara Bennett, Miss Mary C. Perkins, Barbara Todd, Barbara Drummond.

Writers' Club By BARBARA Topo During the past two years Deering has found within its walls a group of stu- dents interested in improving their writing to a greater extent than is possible in the classroom. For the benefit of those students who show promise in creat1ve work a Writers' Club has been formed. Those who wished to try out for member- ship wrote a selection on any desired subject. From these applicants ten were chosen for ability and originality. At the regular meet- ings held on alternate Tuesdays in the do- mestic science suite, opportunity has been given for individual discussion and reading of selections by members. Then after Miss Perkins has assigned and explained the next project to be prepared, refreshments have been served. In April, an open meeting was held at which Miss Pease, Miss Dolley, Miss Kur- son from New York, and John Peterson, a graduate of Deering, were guests. The club has had three definite aims: to publish an anthology similar to that of last year, to gather material to be entered in the National Scholastic Contest, and to encour- age writing of one-act plays. Several different forms of writing were entered in the contest, ll including a dozen poems, six short stories, several sketches, two one-act plays, and some journalistic material. Nunzi Casavola won second prize of twenty-five dollars for his short story and honorable mention in sport writing. Barbara Campbell received a fourth place for her literary sketch. Two one-act plays considered worthy of presentation were given in collaboration with the Dramatic Club. On April II, Trouble and Toothpasten by Barbara Bennett was presented, and on April 18, Five Hundred Dollars Pleasen by Barbara Todd. In each case the student authors acted as coaches. and the casts were composed of members of both clubs. The members feel they have enjoyed a busy and profitable year. Besides having learned something of writing poems, sketch- es, short stories, and one-act plays, they have found their own strong and weak points.

Radio Club By RALPH COBB The Radio Club of Deering High School was first formed in 1921. It was re- organized by Mr. Ralph Morgridge in 1927. In IQ3I Mr. Frank Stack took it over. For the last two years the club has been under the supervision of Miss Ada Belle Kennan and has proved very beneficial to its members. The main purpose of the club is to study and discuss the theories and basic principles back of radio. Another object is to advise members in the construction of their sets. The club held its meetings every Wednes- day at one o'clock in Room 227. These meet- ings usually consisted of informal talks on radio followed by a discussion period. Throughout the year, the club was fortunate in being able to hear talks by prominent radio men and science teachers. Although most of the time was devoted to study rather than practical experience, a few boys wanted to build their own sets. For this purpose an instruction class in radio con- struction was formed. This class met each Friday afternoon in our Radio Room. These boys not only learned how to build their sets, but also how they functioned. E II2 The Radio Room on the third fioor of our school is especially suited for a short wave station. There are two high aerials which af- ford excellent reception, both of long and short waves. The room is also copper shielded, and this makes it possible to carry out experiments under the lowest of voice levels. The club possesses a well-designed short wave receiver and also a sensitive broadcast superheterodyne. A new and powerful trans- mitter was built during the past year and is now ready to go on the air. As the club was formed late in the year, the station was not licensed, but probably will be next year. The station is known as WIDLV and in preceding years many other stations have been contacted.

BEAN, Faculty Advisors Deering High School News Flashes With the inauguration of the school page last Fall in the Portland Evening Express, a new type of publication made its appearance at Deering, replacing the Purple Line, former 4-page news-sheet. The fir-st number of the Deering page was that of Oct. 20, 1933. Thereafter the Deering High News Flashes was pub- lished regularly as part of Friday's edition of the Evening Express. To many of its readers it is not know that the idea of such a page first origi- nated with our principal, Mr. Wing. Faced with the problem of finding ways and means to solve the financial difficulty that sadly limited most school journalistic attempts, Mr. Wing conceived the idea of the school page for the high schools of Portland and vicinity. A conference was held with representatives of the Portland Maine Publishing Company. The Portland Evening Express generously offered a full page of its paper weekly to each of five schools. It was then decided to try' the innovation with the Westbrook High Spotlight publishing Monday, the Cheverus and Ca- thedral High School Vox Discipulorum, Tuesday, the Portland High High Lights, Wednesdayg the South Portland E cho, Thursdayg and the Deering High News Flashes, Friday. The page was to be written by student editors under the guidance of Mr. Blaine Daivs, school page editor, affording the student real newspaper contact and the opportunity for journalistic training and experience impossible under previous publications. In competition with each other, each school has tried to produce a paper rep- resentative of its best effort and of the school it represented. The new page of- fered the people of Greater Portland a glimpse into the many activities of the modern high school. A school of over I,5OO students is a little community in it- self and news is always in the making. An outstanding feature of the year was the story by Edward Peary Stafford, I5-year old Deering Sophomore and grandson of Admiral Robert E. Peary, dis- coverer of the North Pole, describing his experience when he accompanied an expedition which erected a monument to the explorer on Cape York, Greenland. Under the capable editorship of Nunzi Casavola, the many news events of the school are covered by a staff of editors, each responsible for some particu- lar part of school life at Deering. Both the Amethyst and the Deering High News Flashes were entered in the University of Maine journalistic Conference. An award of a bronze plaque. first prize, was received by the 1933 Amethyst and an honorable mention by the Deering High News Flashes. EU71 THE AMETHYST COMBINED ORCHESTRAS OF ICJEPIRINC HIGH SCHOOL Junior Qrchestra By BARBARA Toon Musical activities at Deering have become so popular that it is difficult to ac- commodate all those who Wish to participate in them. This is especially true of the orchestra in which students interested in music have enrolled in such num- bers that last fall it became necessary to divide the orchestra into junior and senior groups. During this year, the junior orchestra of 26 members has held its rehearsals twice a week in the auditorium with hliss Katherine Bart- lett as director, at the same time that the senior orchestra has rehearsed in the music room with hfliss Emily E. Chase. Opportunity has thus been given the less experienced players to get more practice in ensemble work before entering the senior group. lt has also made both groups less un- wieldly and has provided a better chance for individual attention for all of its members. The most important public appearance of the junior orchestra was at the Freshman Re- ception in December when it gave an excel- lent performance. It seemed particularly ap- propriate that an orchestra composed almost entirely of freshmen should furnish the mu- sic for that occasion. Next year many of its members will grad- nate into the senior orchestra, their places to be filled by the incoming freshmen.

Chase, the orchestra takes a prominent part in school activities. During the year, it has furnished music for the Dramat- ic Club Play, Senior Class Play, Pathiinders Club, and many school assemblies. Following the usual custom, the orchestra also played for the school graduation. Many of Deering's outstanding musicians are members of this organization. Number- ing this year iifty members, it is the largest high school orchestra in the state. At the State Band and Orchestra Contest held at Portland three years ago, the Deering Or- chestra won first prize in Class A from its only competitor, Portland High. This honor was retained at the contest held the follow- ing year at Camden. For the past two years, no contests have been held, therefore the Class A cup is still in the trophy case at Deering. This year the orchestra organized an as- sociation, and elected as officers Maryjane Ripley, President, Eileen Asher, vice presi- dent, Barbara Todd, secretary, Lois Mc- Phetres, treasurer, and Arthur Strout, mana- ger. The educational value of good music and its importance as one of the extra curricular activities cannot be over-estimated. Students at Deering are fortunate that this fact is rec- ognized, and that the various musical organi- zations fill so important a place in the school life. The orchestra makes an ideal training school, both for ensemble practice and for music appreciation. Portland Symphony Orchestra Many members of the orchestra are also members of the Portland Symphony Orchestra and took part in the many concerts this year. In this group are George Waldron, Betty Brown, Al- fred Soule, violins, Barbara Todd, Maryjane Ripley, Barbara Hatch, cellos, Polly Pratt, liute, Eileen Asher, clarinet, Franklin Potter, trumpet, Olive Pratt, horn, Edwin Heywood, percus- sion. Deering graduates who have continued their orchestral study by participating in the Port- land Symphony Orchestra are Edna Goodrich, Priscilla Pennell, Marjorie Hanscom, Virginia Pennell, Marion Simpson, violins, Harold Lawrence, flute, Clinton Graffam, jr., Robert Fink- ham, oboes, Donald Davis, Donald Haskell, Roger C alderwood, clarinets, Lewis Wade, tuba.

Under the skilled leadership of Mr. Frank J. Rigby it has become the leading organization of its kind in the state, having won the right to this title at the last music contest held at Camden. In October the members motored to Lewis- ton, where they gave a concert before the Maine teachers at the annual State Conven- tion. They furnished music at a supper of the Portland Club in November, and again at the Masonic Temple in April. Members assisted at a supper at the Rast- land Hotel given by the Parent 'il'eachers' Association in honor of Miss Florence Hale, a past president of the National liiducation Association. On Saturday morning, April 21, they furnished music for a motion picture at the State Theatre. YVith Mr. Frank O. Stack as conductor, the Band has played for sev- eral school assemblies and for all home foot- ball and basketball games. ll I2O Two outstanding events of the winter pro- gram were the Annual Band Concert and Dance, and the concert given at the Cadet Drill and Ball. At the latter due to the illness of Mr. Rigby, Mr. Clarence A. Rowe con- tlucted. The proceeds of both concerts will be used for the purchase of new uniforms and new music. lu May the Band joined with other bands in the Western Maine Music Festival. Many Portland musicians have com- mented on the difhculty of the pieces per- formed which have seemed technically im- possible for a high school band. The Band feels that it has had a very profitable and enjoyable season.

Student Service By ELEANOR DAVIS Students of 39 home rooms are represented by the Student Service group when it meets each Thursday morning in the cafeteria. Representatives are appointed from volunteers in each home room. Although work of a representative requires a student to give up much of his own time in service to the school, more students volunteer each year than can be appointed room representatives. The work of this large group goes on quietly and many times unheralded. The ac- tivities carried on are many and varied. Probably the most conspicuous duty of Stu- dent Service is the Student Service Desk. Each period one student serves at the desk located in the main hall near the front en- trance to the building. The Sudent Service representative does errands for the ofhce stall, collects attendance slips, acts as dog- catcher and in innumerable Ways serves the school. He is ready to act as guide for new pupils or visitors. More important than these duties which the average student notices day by day are E I2I the meetings held for purpose of discussion. One of the aims of the club is to bring the student into closer contact with the faculty. Another is to give students a chance to make known their wishes to the principal. The stu- dents bring in suggestions and questions from the student body as to the needs of the school. Mr. Wing presents suggestions from the faculty for improving school life and conditions at Deering High. Student Service representatives are responsible for reporting to the 1,400 students in the 39 home rooms in the building all discussions of importance. The aim of the organization is to achieve, the motto, to serve.

Girl Reserves By EILEEN ASHER The Girl Reserves is one ofthe most active groups of students at Deering. This club of girls is divided into special groups, such as a Dramatic Interest Group, and an Athletic Interest Group. This affords an opportunity for more members since girls of almost every type can find in the Girl Reserves that which interests them. One of the most important events of the year was the All-Day Conference which was held February 21 in the club rooms at the Young Womens' Christian Association. The Girl Reservees from Deering, Portland, and South Portland High Schools acted as hos- tesses to the Girl Reserves from 22 other schools. The speaker was Mrs. Israel Bern- stein, who addressed the girls upon the sub- ject, Race Relations. Her talk was fol- lowed by a discussion and luncheon. After lunch, sports, including basketball and vol- ley ball, were held. A Vocational Information Day was ob- served by the Girl Reserves early in April. A program was arranged to present the re- quirements of various occupations open to women, such as domestic service, art, StO1'C work, newspaper work, and secretarial work. II Following supper, the evening conference be- gan, dealing with dramatics, literary work, physical education, and nursing. At Christmas time the Girl Reserves held their All-School Night party in the Y. W'. Club Rooms. Over 50 girls attended the Christmas Party. Vivien Jackson played the part of Santa Claus in distributing gifts which later Went to the Childrenis Hospital. Another important event of the year was the Mother-Daughter Dinner held March 26. More than ISO girls, with their mothers, at- tended this banquet. The tables were artis- tically decorated in spring colors. Miss Thayer, dean of Westbrook Junior College, spoke upon the relationship between the mother and daughter. Following the banquet. the girls presented scenes from Little Wom- en by Louisa M. Alcott. 122 j -I..-g..- -THE AMETHYST front: Edna Tibbetts, Mildred Slack, Eleanor Parr, Virginia Gronberg, Margaret Stone, llelen Reiley, Muriel Lane, Ruth Hodg- ltins, Dorothy Walton, Norma Lewis, june Dyer.

Camp Fire Girls The year 1933-1934 may be considered a memorable one for Stantaki. Instead of having one group of Camp Fire Girls, Deering now has three with a member- ship roll of over fifty names. The two new groups are fortunate in having as guardians Myrtle Roche and Virginia Dyer, two alumnae of Camp Fire training. Early in the fall, Mr. and Ivlrs. William E. VVing presented the use of their beautiful pine grove to the Camp Fire Girls of Deer- ing High School. In honor of this gift, a dedi- cation service was held. A feeling of grati- tude will ever be in the hearts of Deeringis Camp Fire Girls for the kindness and thoughtfulness of their principal and his wife. In this grove, picnics, nature classes, ceremonials have been held. Hobbies, being the theme of the 1933-1934 Birthday Project, the program of the year was made out with each girl given the chair- manship of that meeting which fitted her cap- abilities and personal likes. In this way, ll 123 leadership, executive responsibility, and growth along a favorite field has been stressed. In this year's fashion show, 'fHobbies was made the subject of the event. Because of the State of Maine Garden Ex- hibit and Spring Flower Show held at the Danish Village, May 30 to June 4, mosses and running plants gained attention and study by the Camp Fire Girls for their ex- hibit, Ground Covers. Other events ofthe year included a mother- and-daughter banquet, a benefit bridge, a theatre party, a sail down the bay, an alum- nae Christmas party, the making of sweaters, small group parties, and house-parties. fl E AMETHYS'I Srulrdi Mary Olive Thompson, Evel n Kavanough, Donald Miller, Dorothy Sims, ,lean Rach Fngene MiCann, Edward Carr, Rivhard Cguinn, John Clark.

Junior Red Cross By PHYLLIS PETTENGILL The Deering chapter of the Junior Red Cross has completed a practical and worthwhile year's work. Many important and interesting projects have been at- tempted and accomplished with the co-operation of the entire student body. The year began, as usual, with the enrollment drive which was highly successful. From the enrollment drive, 541.39 was re- ceived. I,OOO students enrolled with IQ home rooms 1002. A box decorated in brown and gold was placed in each home room for contributions tothe Thanksgiving dinners andthe chickens were bought with money in the treasury. The Domestic Science Department assisted with the making of cranberry sauce and cookies for each dinner. In addition to the donations received in the home rooms, a generous amount of vegetables was received fr01n the City Home. Other activities included an auction held in the cafeteria at recess, the selling of Deer- ing stickers again this year, and at the VVin- ter Carnival, the sale of hot dogs and candy. The City Farm was the special local pro- II 126 ject this year. Especially at Christmas and on other holidays, the Junior Red Cross pro- vided cheer for the inmates. An entertain- ment was presented and presents were dis- tributed from a Christmas tree. Last year, the Deering Junior Red Cross portfolio was sent to Batassagyarmat, Hun- ga ry. This last Fall we received a return port- folio portraying the civic life of Batassag- yarmat and art as applied by Hungarian high school students. To wind up the year's activities more than 500 representatives of the Junior Red Cross in Cumberland County attended the first junior Red Cross Conference held at Port- land High School, April 21. Doris Michaud, President of Deering High School Council presided as chairman. Il 'THE AMETHYS'I' Lt. Russell Severance, Lt. Royce Day, Capt. Douglass Adams, Capt. Philip Chapman, Col.

Here, I must say that such action would not only bring about little or no good but would subject us to much harm. Most of these critics say that cadet training of any sort is responsible for the dogmatic minds and militaristic ideas of today. I should like to ask just how many there in order to insure peace we as a people must are of our cadets Who would like to go to be neither aggressive nor unprepared. Ag- war. The simple but firm answer is none, for surely there is no one who knows the con- sequences of war any better than those ac- quainted with its military methods. Here I would also like to remind you that the cadets are not trained in the art of wag- ing war, but receive instruction in drilling, discipline, and leadership. Now surely there is nothing more important in the making of a good citizen than to teach him the fine qualities of obedience to authorities and leadership when placed in a commanding position. One could cite endless examples of the value of such military training. You may ask what all this has to do with peace. It has been proved time and again that II 127 gressiveness is the result of militaristic poli- cies and can be produced by mere propa- ganda, and whatever of military training that is received in the high school cannot be held responsible for such policies. But cer- tainly it would be of great importance to the United States to have citizens who knew at least the first rudiments of military science. It should therefore be our purpose to seek the mean average between the two extremes. If this be done, we may be assured of an everlasting peace, if it shall be neglected, we we may readily expect a great war. In conclusion, I should like to say that I sincerely believe that high school military training should not be abolished. Il THE AMETHYST Members of the Debating Team are chosen after a long period of prepara- tion and must survive in competition with other members of the debating squad. Those on the T934 team pictured are Donald Miller, Ir., Carolyn Wiggin, Virginia Maguire, and Vincent Welch. Debating Team By BARBARA Toon One of Deering's hardest working organizations is the debating team. Each debater must possess the ability to think clearly, the vision to explore every side of a question, and the keenness of mind capable of making the most of the slight- est point of advantage provided by an opponent's argument. Every question re- quires painstaking study on the part of the debater to insure a thorough knowl- edge of the subject. The fine work of this year's team reflects credit on the individual team members. the coach of debating, Miss Ruth E. Williams. and the school represented. The team de- bated in both the Bowdoin Interscholastic Debating League in December and the Bates League in April. Practice debates with the teams of other schools have centered on the two questions to be considered in the league debates. The Deering team in the finals of the Bowdoin League was composed of Vincent lVelch, aliirmativeg George Little, alternate: and Carolyn Wiggin, negativeg Warren Paine, alternate. The question in this debate was: Resolved: that the municipalities of the State of Maine should avail themselves of the offer of the National Government to as- sist in iinancing local improvements under the N. R. A. In the Bowdoin League the style of de- bating ditiers from that in the Bates League in being the open forum or legislative type E I of debate. lfach speaker is allowed fifteen minutes and may use his own judgment as to the time when his speech may be given to best advantage. In order to speak he must be recognized by the chairman. This manner of debating resembles more closely ordinary legislative procedure. The Bates League contest was held on April 20. Deering qualified for the finals by defeating Cony at Deering and South Port- land at South Portland. Deering was rep- resented by an affirmative team composed of Vincent Vllelch and Carolyn lViggin and by a negative team, Virginia hlaguire and Don- ald hliller. The question was: Resolve, that the llnited States should adopt the es- sential features of the British system of radio controlf' The second team which aided in preparing material. besides acting as alternates, was composed of Lucille Day and George Little, negativeg Kenneth Welch and Logan Bullitt, afiirmative. J THE AMETHYST- The bank window is open each Monday morning during the twenty-minute period. for student deposits. The three bank tellers in the picture, Phyllis Pettengill. Dorothy Sanborn, and Wilma judkins, carried on the work of school banking during the past year. School Banking By PHx'LL1s PETTENGILL Thrift is of the utmost importance in character building. If the habit of saving small amounts is developed during one,s earlier years, it is apt to remain a valu- able asset throughout h1s life. That is the reason the work is done mostly among the underclassmen. Each fall a contest is started among the freshmen home rooms which usually ends at the beginning of the new year. The room that has the highest percentage of bankers at the end of the contest receives the purple and white thrift banner to be kept until June. Room 5, in charge of Mr. Merle VV. Jewell, has received the banner for the last two years. The school bank is open each Monday morning during the twenty minute period. Miss Esther J. Tyler is the faculty adviser. The history of school banking is rather an interesting one. It was about IQOO that a form of banking was started in a few schools. The teacher sold the pupils one, two, and three cent stamps which were put on cards. VVhen they had a dollar's worth of these stamps, they took them to the bank and re- ceived a bank book. In 1916 the Government issued Thrift Stamps and in the schools the banking was carried on in much the same manner except they redeemed their money thr0ugh'Postal Savings. II 129 In 1919 this form was abandoned but at a meeting of the American Bankers Associa- tion in Washington it was decided too valua- ble an idea to be dropped entirely. It was then that the present system of school bank- ing was adopted. It was considered more of an educational project than ever before as it was real bank- ing conducted by pupil tellers. This was started in Portland in 1921 sponsored by the Maine Savings Bank. Mr. Elmer E. Parmenter, the principal of the North School had his own system of banking thirty-five years ago and many of I'ortland's most prominent business men had their first accounts opened in the Maine Sav- ings Bank by him. In Portland from july 1, 1932 to june 30, 1933, the school deposits were 519,520.18 The previous year the deposits were 526,487- .22. In 1933 there were heavy withdrawals for living expenses. In the United States school deposits totaled more than twenty- six million dollars in 1931. II THE AMETHYST l'iAS l'l'iR ASSICMBLY frnnl: Harlmra Benner, l'l1yllif llcnncsscy.
