Finally, as mem- bers of the graduating class, we thank all those who have made these past four years worthy of a special corner in our memory.

STAHL JEANNE MORRIS 'k Head Of Department SCHOOL DAYS Now that the class of '39 has reached the goal toward which we have been ever working, that of being a senior, it is very hard to believe. The time has come, however, and we are looking forward to graduation eagerly and yet a trifle sadly. It seems incredible that we will not be returning to the halls of Deering next year to resume our studies with renewed vigor. Although many of us will go on to college, we will all miss the life of activity and fun of the Deering High School student. Since our first day at Deering, when we entered as insignificant, frightened freshmen, up until the present, our days have been filled with pleasures. In the held of sports our school has been among those at the top of the list and it has been with great pleasure that we have attended the various games. In the fall we all derived pleasure from the exciting whirl of the football season. The wild ex- citement, the colorful approach of our band, some- times rain, sometimes crisp autumn days, but al- ways the eternal thrill of a good football game. Basketball and track are ushered in with winter. Will we ever forget the fun of being a part of the milling throng, of happily greeting friends under the glaring lights which shine down upon a track meet or basketball game. Spring brought us base- ball, tennis, and golf along with other activities. However, sports did not overshadow our many other social events presented by the various clubs of the school. Three of the outstanding affairs of the school year are the Dramatic Club Play, the Glee Club Operetta, and the Senior Class Play. 1 The Dramatic Club play of our senior year was called New Firesf, It was well attended by our socially-minded schoolmates, who also enjoyed the dancing in the gymnasium after the play. The Glee Club operetta, called The Gypsy Rover, was a great success and brought several underclassmen to prominence by their brilliant per- formance. This, too, was followed by dancing in the gymnasium. One of the most important events on the seniors' social calendar is the Senior Class Play. This year a cast of nine prominent seniors presented The Late Christopher Bean, which was a Broadway success, and did not disappoint the Deering aucli- ence. There was also a large attendance at the dance held after the play. At the Freshman Reception the novices to the halls of Deering are given the opportunity of in- troducing their parents to their teachers and of hearing their principal and class officers speak. Few students become seniors without realizing the marvelous scholastic opportunities afforded at Deering. We come to appreciate our teachers' un- derstanding and guidance through our four years of association with them. Besides this, we learn to use and enjoy our exceptionally fine library. Our large, well-ventilated cafeteria is also a popu- lar room and is frequented at recess by our hungry lads and lassies. We are proud of our well-equipped chemistry and biology laboratories which are fut- nished with all of the instruments necessary for careful study. In years to come we, as those before us, will find infinite satisfaction in returning to Deering to renew old acquaintances at alumnae gatherings, and to watch with interest the advances in edu- cational opportunities offered by our own Alma Mater. Our four years here have taught us that to every man there openeth a way. With our four years at Deering the way has been opened. Where do we go from here? ON THE AIR One evening I turned on my radio and heard a sketch depicting a visit through Deering High School. An interested mother, Mrs. Smith, played by Mrs. Frank I. Cowan, asked to see Mr. Whig about her son's college preparation. As Mr. Wing was busy, the secretary, Miss Jeanne Morris, took Mrs. Smith through the school, explaining various rooms and activities. They came upon john Marsh sing- ing in the Music Room. He explained the ad- vantages of the hve-year-course that he is taking. Students taking this course have time to take extra studies and activities which might interest and benefit them. Nlrs. Smith and the secretary met Miss Hall, the school nurse. She explained her position and told of the worth-while projects that D. I-I. S. maintains. Tuberculosis tests, physical examina- tions, and eye and ear tests are a few of the health plans of the school curriculum. Mrs. Smith and the secretary passed on to where Mr. johnson, guidance counselor, and Billy Smith, played by James Doughty, were discussing Billy's ranks. Billy was trying to get by on a passing mark. Mr. johnson changed Billy's attitude and gave him new ideals to work for. After hearing this discussion, Mrs. Smith, much wiser than be- fore, interviewed Mr. Wing about her son's pro- gram. On another occasion I heard a radio skit which included the Bowdoin One-Act Play. john Marsh and Clayton Smith discussed the advantages of belonging to the Dramatic Club. They belong, not for the glamour of footlights, but for what dramatics teaches them, namely, to be unself-con- scious and poised, to face emergencies such as for- gotten lines, and to portray character convincingly. Bernard McDonough and Walter Sullivan joined in the discussion of a one-act play based on the Black and Tan War in Ireland in 1919. In this play Irish policemen were hunting for an Irish patriot. The patriot, a supposed ballad singer, gained the conhdence of a Sergeant and escaped from jail. The play was well done in Irish dialect. Deering High School has many other interests. Nearly every student fits into some extra-curricular activity and enjoys school more because of its as- sociations. PATHFINDERS CLUB OFFICERS President MRS. O. A. I-IORTON Ist Vice-President MRS.

DEERING The Pathfinders Club has been functioning in the school for hfteen years and has grown from the original twenty members to over three hundred this year. All mothers of children in Lincoln MRS. O. A. I-IORTON President Junior High School and Deering High School may become members. The aims of the club are to promote friendship between the mothers themselves, provide contacts between parents and teachers, help in the general welfare of the school and assist worthy members of the graduating class to obtain a higher education. For the latter aim, the club raises annually as large a fund as possible to be distributed through the Scholarship Committee. Monthly meetings of the club are held in the auditorium of D. H. S. with either an interesting speaker or an entertainment of some kind. The programs are introduced by music provided by members from either school. At the close of the program, tea and sandwiches are served in the cafeteria and members are given an opportunity to meet the teachers. Usually a different group of teachers is present at each meeting. In recent years the most effective means of ob- taining funds for the scholarships has been that of selling tickets to the local theaters, for which the club has received a sizable commission. This year, however, the Strand and Empire were not Obtain- able, so the smaller local theaters, the Cameo and the Deering, were used with decidedly less profit. Some other means will have to be employed to raise the fund to its usual efficiency. Illness of the chairman contributed to the difficulties, but her place was ably filled by Mrs. Edward Willard. Once during the year for the past three years the club has varied its regular afternoon meetings and held one in the evening, called Fathers, Night. At this time each member may bring her husband or a friend on her membership ticket. Entertainment by members from the two schools is provided. Last year and this year the building was open for in- spection from 7:30 to 8:30 with each teacher in his room to greet the guests. Another regular feature is that of the entire program being in charge of members of Lincoln Junior High School at one of the regular meet- ings. This is always very interesting, as is the Christmas program which is usually produced by members of the Deering High dramatic and glee clubs combined. All members interested in books of recent publi- cation are given an opportunity to hear a book of recent fiction and non-fiction reviewed at an after- noon meeting in the school building once a month. A silver collection is taken at this meeting to de- fray the expense of hiring the books to be reviewed and paying outside reviewers whenever obtainable. Anyone interested may attend this meeting.

SMITH FRANCES ARLENE SMITH BARBARA WEBSTER DOROTHY JANE WHITCOMB KEITH E. YOUNG NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The need for an organization such as the Na- tional Honor Society arose from the desire of edu- cators to recognize the diversified interests of high- school students. Formerly, those engaged in school activities had received their praise through either public appearances or newspaper accountsg but the student whose aims were solely for scholarship seemed to be almost forgotten. The birth of a na- tional society of honor proved to be the solution to the problem of lauding every worthy student, whether his achievements were scholastic or extra- curricular. Since character, leadership, scholarship, and service are the fundamental virtues most useful to society, they were established as the qualities es- sential for membership in the organization. The method of electing the members varies in different schools throughout the country. How- ever, in order to receive consideration, a pupil must be in the upper third of his class. In some schools a list of those in the upper third of the class is given to the sponsor of each activity and to some persons not in charge of an activity. From these lists, candidates are chosen for mem- bership. As the final step, all the names suggested are voted on by a representative group from the faculty.

C LASS OF 1939 CLASS HISTORY, 1939 The class of 1939 entered Deering as sprightly a group of individuals as ever gave atmosphere to a seat of learning. A few weeks of watchful wait- ing convinced them that other classes had deter- mined the course of their routine, so they elected class officers, directed a freshman reception, and in- spected all and sundry clubs about them. The sophomoric state seemed one of blissful freedom. They ceased being worshippers of up- perclass heroes and began to mold some of their own. Only one thing bothered them. Where was that fifth letter of the alphabet? Fewer and fewer of the class remembered its familiar outline. In 1938, the class emerged as a unit of splendid endeavor and teamwork. The boys, already hear- ing the ghostly tapping of feminine heels passing them in the race for scholastic honors, threw them- selves into the boosting of Deering's athletic prowess. As a result, in the last year, the football team became a serious contender for the confer- ence crown. How many divers aspects are there to this thing called education? The Seniors have watched the girls become as efficient experts on the modern coif- fure as on the subject of an ancient Whig. They have seen the boys learn how often socks speak more eloquently than ties. Nevertheless out of these fancies of youth, have come outstanding de- baters, writers, singers, dramatic and athletic stars. The roll of paper tied with purple and white to which the members of the class have aspired, should be the logical proof of four years of effort. May they carry with it into life, the self-control and wisdom of judgment which Deering as a teacher has written into it. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Kam-1 E. YOUNG President ARTHUR E.

L. ,, L -. 4 X. FUOTBALL The Deering Purple Panics turned in one of the most successful seasons on the gridiron in many a year. The Purple squad was considered the dark horsev throughout the season, but was stopped only by the powerful Maroon team from Thornton Academy, and a scoreless tie by South Portland. Deering went into the first game as the under dog. But that didn't stop a very light team, al- though the line averaged one hundred and fifty pounds to the Portland forward wall of one hun- dred and ninety pounds. Portland outrushed and made more first downs than the Panics, but a well executed pass from Barney Davey O'Brien Mc- Donough to Vinnie Jitterbug Wallace enabled Deering to beat Portland 6-0. With one victory under its belt, Deering took on the Fighting Irish of Cheverus. The two teams battled on even terms until Barney Mc- Donough tossed a pass to Couri who in turn later- alled to Gage for the only score of the game, Deering winning 6-0. Deering journeyed to Biddeford for its first Conference game, and all of the sports writers pre- dicted a close game. But this was Deering's day. With the running of Gage and Young, the pass- ing of lVlcDonough, and the stellar line work of Herm Schwartz, Caesar Galli, and Ken Zemla, Deering won handily 32-0. When McDonough went to the hospital, the hope of the Deering fans dropped. Barney had suffered a slight brain concussion in practice. The day was damp and the field, very wet when Deering played Edward Little. Deering received the opening kick-off and in three plays Deering scored on a pass from Bob Couri to Bab Gage, but only by the timely block by Art Galli was Gage able to cross the pay dirt. In the second period the line bucking of McIntyre and the fancy side-step- ping of Gage brought another score. The second half was played in a London fog and Gage fm- ished by scoring the third touchdown of the day. The final score was 20-0. A cool, crisp, sunny afternoon greeted some 5,000 fans at the Deering held to witness the South Portland game. South Portland kicked off, and Deering started right away on a march down the field. McIntyre through the middle, Gage on a reverse, passing with laterals, they pushed to South Portland's two yard line. There on four downs Deering failed to score. It was all Deering the first half, but South Portland stole the show in the second half, though the line play of Dick Mc- Cann, Galli, and Congdon was outstanding over the Caper line. The game ended in a scoreless tie. At the Paper City, Deering walked over the Westbrook eleven with ease, 42-0. The day was marked with two outstanding runsg one was good for a score, while the other was called back. The feature run was by Gabby Deering who raced seventy-two yards for a touchdown. Art Galli added a little humor to the game when he picked up a fumble on his own twenty and ran eighty yards, only to have the play called back. Deering used many substitutes to save the veterans for the acid test with Thornton. At Thornton we saw David trying to tackle Goliath. The Maroon team outweighed Deering about ten pounds to a man. Deering received the opening kick-off and ran it back about ten yards. The very first play Deer- ing tried a pass, but it was incomplete. Since Deering couldn't penetrate the Thornton line, Wallace punted. The game see-sawed like this the hrst quarter, and half way through the second. Finally a well executed pass by Thornton scored, being the first team to score against the Purple machine. Opening the third period, Deering found herself and scored with Gage going off tackle. With the game tied up, Vinnie Wallace calmly place kicked the extra point to put Deering in the lead 7-6. With this slim lead, Swede Anderson made one first down after another and pushed across an- other score. Then in the final quarter Thornton scored again to win 19 to 7. The annual Thanksgiving day game brought to- gether the two keenest rivals, the bulldog of Port- land, and the goat of Deering. On a snow covered field Jack Harvey blocked four kicks, and three of these turned into touch- downs. The story began when in the second quar- ter, Harvey broke through the Portland line and blocked a Portland kick. Then, out of nowhere, Ken Zemla dived after the ball to score. Wallace converted. Then Harvey blocked another kick and in four plays Gage went over, with Wallace con- verting the extra point. In the final period Harvey completed his day of kick blocking, by blocking his fourth kick which gave Captain Gilly Congdon a chance to score the final touchdown. Deering won 20 to 0. The lightweight team this year, coached by Don Favor, won three games and lost two. The out- standing players were Jack Schreiber, Gallagher, Curran, Lee, Irish, and Speirs. Most of these boys are freshmen, and in future years may be a big help to Coach Graham. 5 BASEBALL The Purple nine of '38 didnit win any Tele- gram League, but showed power at the plate. Deering won seven and lost seven, but of those seven games lost, five of them were lost in the ninth inning. Elmah Harvey had a great winning year, although he lost two games to Westbrook. Ernie Bowler was the hard luck pitcher in two games against Sanford. With one win to his credit, Ernie faced the Plushtowners of Sanford on the home field of Sanford. Going into the ninth, Deer- ing held a 2 to 1 lead with two outs and so far Sanford had only collected three bingles. But then the fireworks began, Nutter singled, then Nutter doubled, sending Nutter to third, setting up the Frank Merriwell finish for Woodman. Woodman then doubled down the third base line to score the two runs to win the game 3 to 2. The very next day Deering went to town in the New York Yankee style, to swamp Biddeford 20 to 9. Captain Normie Lovejoy homered in this slaughter to give Jimmy Robinson the win. Against Westbrook, Deering lost another heart- breaker 3 to 2. Elmah,' Harvey was on the mound for the Panics, holding Westbrook to ten scattered hits. Going into the ninth, Deering was behind 3 to 1. But with the to do or die spirit, Deering loaded the bases with none out. Then Lovejoy came to bat, and hit the first pitched ball for a single, scoring with Wallace. With still no one out Harvey came up and laid down a bunt, but Couri failed to score. Wallace and McCann then struck out to end the game. Against Cheverus, Deering took out their shooting irons and hit the ball hard behind the good hurling of Harvey. Elmah himself made four hits along with Normie Lovejoy, who had four hits, one a homer with the bases loaded in the ninth inning. Deering won 9 to 1. The Sanford jinx still had Bowler. In the tenth inning with two out, Nesbit camped under a high fly, but lost it in the sun to put a man on first base, then, the next man up doubled to score one run. Then came the blow that dealt defeat, Fortier hit a home run over the left field fence to sew up the ball game 6 to 3. With an all veteran team for this year, Lloyd Quint and Barney McDonough all Telegram League choice, Normie Lovejoy, twice All Tele- gram League catcher, raised the hopes high. But Deering still lacked one thing, another starting pitcher. Against Westbrook, Deering dropped the opener 7 to 0. Bowler who had speed to burn, fanned thirteen batters, but to no avail. With the taste of defeat still in the mouths of the Purple nine, Deering was set back by Portland 9 to 8. With victory still around the corner, King Carl Wiggin sent out his top hurler, Ernie Bowler to face Thornton. Ernie pitched two hit balls, struck out eleven for his first win. The score was 8 to 2. The Purple trcked to the Stadium to take on the intown Purple of Cheverus, only to lose nine to eight in ten innings. But during the game Deering found, probably, a capable hurler in Mose Densmore, a young sophomore. With the thermometer souring to the near seven- ties, Sanford came to town to take on the Deer- ing nine. The first inning Bowler fogged his fast ball through for three strikeouts. But Ernie still remembered the year before, so Deering went into a lead to give him something to work on. And this was Deering's day, they played ball like profes- sionals, scooping up grounders, catching long fiies, hitting in the pinches, but most of all, they showed fire. Deering went on to win 9 to 4. McCann and Smaha hit home runs to help the cause. The next day, Dick Mayberry and Mose Dens- more set Biddeford down 10 to 6. The highlight of the game was Lovejoy's home run, with Mc- Cann on second, and the hitting of Barney Mc- Donough. The sky was gray and cold, with the wind blow- ing like a mile hurricane, as the Purple took on the Red Riots. With a two-day rest Bowler pitched a six-hit ball game to give Deering its third straight win. In the second frame AI Smaha and Normie Lovejoy drove in two runs apiece, and scored one unearned run to get a 5 to 0 lead. But as the game went on South Portland tied the count in the eighth inning. But in the ninth, Vinnie Wal- lace singled, stole second, and Dick McCann singled to put over the winning run, 6 to 5. Deering journeyed to Biddeford to take on the Biddies in a slugfest, which ended 14 to 11 in the favor of Deering. Zemla started for Deering, but was relieved by dependable Mose Densmore, the Johnny Murphy of Deering. Vinnie Wallace hit a home run on the first ball pitched to start Deering to win. Deering kept picking up three and four runs an inning to outscore the Biddies for the fourth straight win. With a tie for first place within reach, Coach Wiggin sent his ace, Ernie Bowler against West- brook. The first two innings were scoreless, but in the third, Westbrook scored one run to put them ahead 1 to 0. In the fifth Deering started the fireworks, Quint reached first on a scratch single, but was forced at second when Smaha reached on a fielder's choice. Bowler walked, and then Vin- nie Wallace singled to fill the bases for McCann. With the count two balls and one strike, McCann doubled to center field to clear the bases. With this 3 to 1 lead, Bowler set the Westbrook lads down until Daley got a freak home run to bring the score 3 to 2. In the seventh Deering started scoring again, with McCann the big gun, and bespectled Ernie Bowler won 6 to 2, to put Deering into a three tie for first place. With visions of a championship, Coach King Carl Wiggin turned to Barney McDonough to pitch against Portland. Barney pitched like a veteran, holding the Little Boy Blues to six hits and striking out nine. Deering won 12 to 4. The next day Ernie Bowler held Sanford to three hits and one run. While Bowler was hand- cufiing Sanford, Deering went on to win the game 9 to 1. Against Thomton, Deering bunched six hits and scored six runs in the tenth inning to win 9 to 4. McDonough won his second game, fanning six- teen. Deering won its first championship in twenty years, by beating South Portland 15 to 2 behind Bowler. Lovejoy made four hits, while McCann and Johnny Wallace made three hits to lead the attack. When Bowler fanned the last man, the Legionnaires rushed on the field and carried Coach Wiggin around the field in appreciation of his good coaching. We, the players realize more than anyone that we have the best baseball coach in the State. King Carl is in there every minute during practice, hustling like a young rookie trying to get a posi- tion. His knowledge of inside baseball and a hustling ball team is the key reason Deering won this year. Every member of the baseball team has looked forward to winning the Telegram League. Normie Lovejoy played regularly for four years, Dick McCann, Barney McDonough, Lloyd Quint, and Ernie Bowler for three years, Vinnie and johnny Wallace, Bob Couri have played regular- ly for two years, and Al Smaha in his first year has played like a veteran. BASKETBALL With the moleskins packed away in moth balls, the basketball team got down to hard practice for the coming court season. With all veterans, the hopes for a successful season were up as Coach Cottrell had three veteran forwards in Bob Gage, Barney McDonough, and Ken Zemlag in the pivot position, Herm Schwartz, and Lloyd Quint, and in the back court the old reliable Dick McCann, Vinnie Wallace, and Clarence McIntyre. For sub- stitutes he had Al Smaha, Gabby Deering, Dick Mayberry, and Normie Lovejoy. The season opened up against Westbrook, with the outcome of the game never in doubt. Although the first five couldn,t click against the Paper City five, Coach Cottrell put in the second five, which immediately started Deering to win 56 to 16. With one victory under their belt, the Purple Warriors traveled to Bath, to play Morse High. During the first period, both teams played cautious basketball, with Vin Wallace stopping the attack many times. The period ended with Morse lead- ing 5 to 4. But in the second period, Morse put on the pressure and had a 14 to 6 lead at halftime. Coming out for the third session Deering began to take long shots instead of working the ball in. Wallace, Gage, and McDonough kept tossing in long heaves to put the fighting Purple back in the ball game, trailing only 21 to 18. The final stanza had the 900 fans panic stricken, with Deering matching Morse, basket for basket, but the foul shooting of Morse was just enough for them to win 32 to 27. The Deering five greeted the Alumni with a 26 to 22 setback. The game was close all the way, but with the shooting of Quint and Wallace kept the Panics just enough ahead to squeeze through with a win. With a taste of victory in their mouths, the Purple played good basketball to set the Little Boy Blues of Portland back on their heels, 37 to 31. Deering held a close lead at the first period 10 to 9 but with the shooting, passing, and follow- ing enabled Deering to put a little bigger lead over Portland 21 to 15. The third period was ex- citing, with some 2,500 fans yelling to see Port- land pull up to tie Deering 27 to 27. But in the fourth quarter, Deering put the heat on, Gage, Schwartz, and Mclntyre dropped the ball through the hoop to come out on top. Reversing itself like snow turning to rain, Deer- ing 1-Iigh's court team spanked Lewiston High, 28 to 23. The Purple piled up a long lead in the first half, faded in the last two frames, but had enough left to hold off the Spindle outf1t,s come- back surge. With Barney McDonough watching his man like a cat, and passing with accuracy of a knife thrower, the Purple machine to beat Lewis- ton. Playing a right man-to-man defense, Lewis- ton never had a chance to get a set shot, although Gibson did sink some long shots, from the center of the floor. The whole Deering team played a good brand of ball. Outfought, outplayed, and outroughed for three periods, Deering finally came from behind to win 31 to 26 from Thornton. Thinking that they were to play basketball, Deering didn't bring the foot- ball suits, but how the boys missed them. To show how rough the game was, there were thirty-four fouls called, and those were called conservatively, McDonough with twelve points and his grand de- fense game was the outstanding player. Gage and McCann played heads up ball, with Gage scoring nine points. With five wins and one defeat, South Portland defeated the Purple five 45 to 27. But this started Deering on the winning streak again beating Ed- ward Little 30 to 27, and the next, handing West- brook a 39 to 12 licking. Now the acid test of the week was coming up, Manchester High, the New England Champs from Connecticut. Deering practiced hard all week on a man-to-man defense, and the night before the game, they were defeated by the Bates Frosh 34 to 26. That next night the Exposition Building was filled with some 2,500 rabid basketball fans, in- cluding Governor Lewis O. Barrows. They saw the Purple Panic of Deering explode the myth that Maine basketball couldn't be ranked with that of Connecticut or any other New England State. One out of every hundred fans said Deering couldn't possibly beat Manchester, the team of giants. At the opening whistle Manchester started to roll, and led 7 to 3 at the hrst period, and 14 to 7 at half time. At the start of the third quarter Deering went to town. Gage dribbled away from the basket and sliced one through the draperies, then he sank a long shot which brought the score up to 18 to 15. With the fast break working, McDonough passed to Gage who scored again, and immediately Vin- nie Wallace intercepted a pass and scored. This found Deering leading 20 to 18 at the third quarter. For two minutes of the fourth quarter, the teams couldn't count, then Manchester dropped in two fouls. Almost instantly, McDonough sneaked to a corner, on a jump ball, took a pass and dribbled in and tied the count again. With the game like this all the way, Deering finally came out on top 33 to 31. Gage was the leading scorer, but McIntyre shared the honors by covering Red Gavello, all Connecticut for- ward, so tightly, he scored only once in the first quarter on a hook shot. After Deering's thrilling win over Manchester, South Portland beat the Rams 34 to 17. But Deering wanted to get in the toumament so they trimmed Thornton 36 to 25, but lost a thriller to Lewiston 19 to 13. The Purple then defeated the Bowdoin Frosh 26 to 22, and smothered Edward Little 35 to 20, but were defeated by the Maine Frosh 47 to 30, and Portland, 23 to 20. Deering went into the semi-finals by walking over Morse 38 to 15. The Purple, which in several of its games during the last few weeks couldn't have hit the broadside of the famous door in a barn, now led by McDonough, found its shooting eyes with a vengeance. Deering held Morse to a single floor goal during the first half to lead by a good margin by a man-to-man defense which kept Morse bottled up, and at the end of the third period, scored 30 to 13. For Deering, Barney Mc- Donough was the outstanding player, scoring ten points. In the semi-final, Deering played good ball, but couldn't cope with the clever passing, dribbling, and shooting of the Blue Streaks of Lewiston High. Score: Lewiston 44-Deering 29. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Previously reigning over girls, basketball, coach Anne McKechnie,s girls this year failed to attain the heights of former seasons. However, even with an inexperienced team the Deering Girls' Basketball team turned in a good record. The Purple lassies defeated only by South Port- land and Cony won five out of the nine games played. Westbrook and Falmouth were trampled upon twice, and the Alumnae was also over- powered in the first game of the season. In an orgy of missed baskets, the Deering girls opened their interscholastic schedule with a vic- tory over the battling Falmouth team. Failing to take advantage of their opponentls awe of our former record, and their unfamilarity with the large Deering court, the Purple lassies were saved only by the accurate shooting of Carolyn Barbour and Virginia Cain. The same duo saved the day by sinking two baskets in the final 30 minutes of play when Deer- ing took Westbrook 30-26. In four wild periods, no more than a point separated the struggling teams at any time. The next game proved to be a heart breaker when the South Portland girls completely out- classed the Purple sextet 37-14. Although no girls were outstanding, Carolyn Barbour and Joyce Trott were in the limelight from time to time. Another overwhelming defeat was in store for Deering when a well-drilled, smooth-passing team from Cony trounced Deering 42-23 on its own court. Spurred on by misfortune, the Deering club bounced back impressively from two successive de- feats when it completely upset the Westbrook team 37-12. Every girl on the floor played excel- lent basketball with Patricia Bove, Eugenia Berry, Antoinette Casavola, and Ellen Morton starring. Playing on even terms throughout the next game with South Portland, the Purple was only two points behind at the first, but the Capers soon hit their stride, lunged forward, and tallied a final score of 26-16. In a fast and furious exhibition of girls' basket- ball, Cony for the second time outclassed the Purple players 29-24. Despite the clever domina- tion of Cony, the game was nip and tuck from start to finish. But the stellar shooting of Carolyn Barbour and Virginia Cain put a feather in the cap of the Deering girls when they emerged victorious from their second encounter with Falmouth, the last game of the season, with a final verdict, 23-19. Although the team will lose such letter winners as Captain Eugenia Berry, Manager Constance Barbour, Carolyn Barbour, Patricia Bove, Betty Beal, Ellen Morton, Antoinette Casavola, and Vir- ginia Caing Joyce Trott, a veteran, and the Misses Bridges, Beal, Cambridge, Sparkman, Brume, Whitman, and Smith are bright prospects for a brilliant team next year. i INDOOR TRACK The smallest group of boys that had ever re- ported to Deering's successful track mentor, Buck Harvell, faced him at his first call for candidates. These thirty-five enthusiasts listened to the coach as he told them what was expected of a team of his representing Deering High School. Showing the serious side of any sport and stressing the point of manly conduct in practice and competition, the coach proved his statements by trackmen who had been graduated and had gone on to higher ack- nowledgement of their athletic powers, athletes like Phil Clark, Sam Allen, Don Favor, Neal Allen, and last year's Ray Valente, now captain of Tuft's freshman track team. When these energetic lads started practice, they showed that they were willing to sacrifice in order to keep Deering's name on the same plane as in years past. The following week found Thornton invading the gym and giving the Purple board pounders a battle. Until the balcony track was reached, the Maroon horde was showing their strength in the short races. With completion of last relay, Deering had aggregated 882 points and Thornton 61 H. At Bates, although Deering made clean sweeps in both hurdle races, they could not affect the strength of the Bobcat freshmen. The outcome was 64 to 31 in favor of the Bates team. Guests of South Portland, the Harvell-tutored lads were led in every event by the 150, the in- termediate, and the senior 600's. As a result of so many first places for South Portland, the subur- ban trackmen were defeated by the Red and White squad, 94 2yf3 - 55 1f3. One can always count on a Deering team prov- ing its real worth against the Bowdoin frosh and this year it repeated its fine performance. A high school team is not expected to win over a college freshman team but they often are able to push the older boys. This year's representatives collected 35 points to Bowdoin's 60. With one week before the annual four cornered meet, the suburbanites clashed with Portland. With the four cornered meet in mind, they overpowered the in-town competitors with a score of 82 to 68. Entering the four-cornered meet with a well bal- anced squad, Buck I-Iarvell did not see his boys running as they had at Bowdoin. The combined competition was too much for Deering. The hnal score after a hard fight, brought the Purple only a 3rd place. The Bowdoin Interscholastics was not the goal to cross which would complete the season. Al- though no points were awarded to a Deering boy, those entered were competing against some of the best school boy athletes in New England. The indoor season ended, the coach named 17 lettermen. They were: Ahern, Allen, Becker, Chadburne, Davis, Foster, Harmon, Heath, In- galls, Mathews, O'Brien, Ryder, Schreiber, Stuart, Sullivan, Ward, and Young. GIRLS' FIELD HOCKEY Girls' Field Hockey for the 1939 season en- joyed an average season winning two, holding two to scoreless ties, and losing two. The team, which was built around the veteran letter winners of last year, was captained by the competent Patricia Bove and managed by Laura Boone. This year's team was composed of girls who had practiced together a great deal and who had played the second teams of other schools very suc- cessfully last year. The Deering forward line was entrusted to these six capable girls: Capt. Bove, who played left inner and Mary Chapman, who filled the position of right inner, Eugenia Berry and Carolyn Barbour at center forward, Virginia Parsons and Priscilla Walker at right wing, and Madolyn Hanson at left wing. Antoinette Casa- vola and Elinor McCarthy filled the halfback positions with the redoubtable Ellen Morton, Mary Marble, and Manager Boone in the fullback berths. Competent Ruth Sherry filled the position of goalkeeper. Without exception, the games were encounters calling for a display of plenty of skill and energy. Triumph of the Wilton and Cony teams over our Purple lassies iSn't to be wondered at. Though Deering played with a do or die spirit, our team was simply out-classed. Those who received their letter for this year were: Virginia Stockman, Ruth Sherry, Eugenia Berry, Priscilla Walker, Ellen Morton, Virginia Parsons, Captain Patricia Bove, Mary Marble, Antoinette Casavola, Betty Beal, Barbara Bald- win, Manager Laura Boone, Ruth Whitmore, Joyce Trott, Annabelle Sparkman, Doris Gamage, Blanche Brume, and Marjorie Dodds. The second team deserves much credit for its faithful attendance and its valuable practice with the Varsity. The labor of this group rarely re- ceives the public acknowledgment which it deserves, but it is an indispensable asset to the team. A very good year is the forecast for the 1940 season with the following letter winners available: Annabelle Sparkman, Captain-elect Blanche Brume, Manager-elect Ruth Whitmore, Doris Gamage, and Joyce Trott, GIRLS, FIELD HOCKEY RESULTS Deering 0, Bridgton 0-Deering 0, Bridgton 0. Deering 0, Wilton 3-Deering 1, Waynflete 0. Deering 0, Cony 7-Deering 1, Portland 0. BOYS' TENNIS With five lettermen returning to the courts, Coach Byron Mitchell is looking forward to an- other successful tennis season at Deering. The team as a whole is rather inexperienced, but the presence of a host of promising young netmen more than offsets that handicap. The returning letter- men are Gerald Lewis, David Pennell, Paul Marble, Carleton Kilpatrick, and the captain of the 1939 team, Joseph O'Neil. The greatest setback to this year's team is the loss through graduation of Bob Anthoine, the captain and outstanding star of last year's squad. Anthoine distinguished himself by winning the State Singles Championship at Fort Fairfield last Spring. Always a steady and consistent player, his absence will be keenly felt. It is hoped, however, that among the following, a player may be found capable of filling the gap left by Anthoine. Captain Joseph O'Neil has all the makings of a future tennis star, as do the other lettermen, David Pennell, Carleton Kilpatrick, Paul Marble, and Gerald Lewis. Lewis was this year's winner of the annual Fall Singles Tourna- ment held at Deering. Clayton Smith and Robert Stewart, both of whom were initiated into tourna- ment and match play during the 1938 season, are also promising netmen. Sophomores from whom much is expected are Cushing Strout, Edward Jordan, and Henry Larrabee, with joe Curran and Frank Strout as standouts among the frosh. This year sees the inauguration of a new two- team schedule in the tennis setup at Deering. It consists of the formation of two varsity teams to represent the school instead of one as in former years. The main purpose underlying this change is to provide for a larger number of boys the oppor- tunity of participating in actual match and tourna- ment play. Although this plan will necessitate the dividing of the best players between the two teams, it will prove more benehcial in the long run to the interests of the players. Thanks to the fine cooperation of the Portland Country Club, the Deering tennis squad was lucky this year in obtaining the club's excellent set of courts for the annual Southwestern Maine Singles and Doubles Tournaments. The schedule for the 1939 season is as follows: May 10, Bowdoin Freshmen at Deeringg May 15, Hebron at I-lebrong May 17, Bridgton Academy at Deering, May 20, Brunswick at Deering, May 22, Westbrook at Deering, May 24, Bridgton Acad- emy at Bridgtong May 26, Ricker Classical at Deering, May 27, Bowdoin Freshmen at Bruns- wick, May 31, Westbrook at Westbrook, June 3, Doubles Tournament at the Portland Country Club, June 5 and June 7, Portland at Deering, June 10, Singles Tournament at the Portland Country Club. Matches are also pending with Rumford on May 18 and with Morse on May 23. SWIMMING For the 1939 Deering High School natators, the winter season was a moderate success. With little material Coach Don Favor produced a team which finished third in the Maine High School competition and many times pushed the more fa- vored teams in a never-say-die spirit and stamina. The team, this year, was captained by a versatile distance free-style man, Ernest Bowler. He was undefeated all year at this regular eighth mile event and filled in for many relay teams. Bowler also broke the pool record at the Portland Boy's Club in his event and the schoolboy and pool rec- ord twice at the Auburn YMCA Pool. Manager john Nissen, competed in the 50-yard free-style in several meets. Perhaps the best sprint man on the team, surpassed by only one in the state, is our next year's captain, Laird Harris. He was de- feated only twice this season and represented Deer- ing in the Inrerscholasric Meet. David Drew led the team's breaststrokers and showed remarkable improvement in the distant events. The backstroke position was rather weak this year, but Warren Eddy, John Marsh and Ken Morrison held down this event for most of the season. Don Hobbs, a sophomore, was out- standing in the diving, and was helped by john Golf and several other freshmen who promise to shine later. Jed Sturdevant, a consistent 220 man helped in this event and completed many relay teams. Two other promising undergraduates are Dick Wood, a fast improving freestyle man, and Watson, a hardworking dash man. With this small squad, Coach Favor led his team to four successes and four defeats. They defeated Lewiston High twice with the scores of 41-25 and 43-235 Edward Little High with the totals of 35-31 and 33-33. By Portland High and Brunswick High they were overcome by the respective scores of 36-30, 44-22, 39-27, 42-24. The letter winners in the freestyle events were Bowler, Harris, Morrison, Marsh, Wood, and Sturdevant, in the breaststroke, Drew, in the back- stroke, Eddy, and in the diving, Don Hobbs. In the whole, Coach Favor and Deering High School can be proud of this year's water fighters. They are losing five seniors, Nissen, Eddy, Marsh, Sturdevant and Gordon, but expect several new freshmen natators from the Portland Grammar Schools to take their place.

From last year's regular four, Philip McCracken, Charles Thaxter, and Merton Young will take up their clubs again. Other out- standing prospects include Donald Keniston, Stan- ley Plummer, Ernest Schreiber, and Herrick Ran- dall. Last year, the team won twice over Portland, twice over Cheverus, split their two encounters with Thornton, dropped two matches to South Portland, and halved their match against the Bowdoin V's. Two matches were also scheduled with Morse High, but because of transportation difficulties they were never played. At the Interscholastic Championship Tourna- ment held at the Augusta Country Club, June 27, 28, 29, 30 of last year, Deering won the cup as the best school team in Maine. This team was composed of Philip McCracken, Lawrence Mc- Cracken, Charles Thaxter, and Stanley Plummer. Philip McCracken was particularly hot at this tournament, lasting into the semi-hnals and coming home laden with trophies. Mr. Stack says that this boy shows remarkable improvement and in a few years should be one of the best golfers in the state. Now there is an unusual feminine interest shown in the game with a group of about thirty girls enjoying frequent practice sessions. An in- formal match last year with South Portland was won by the Deering girls. This year's best seem to be Eugenia Berry, Eleanor Irving, Gloria Edwards, Mary Marble, Dorothy DuPont, Priscilla Walker, Eleanor Lord, and Maxine Schellinger. Matches are planned with Westbrmk junior College, St. Joseph's Academy, South Portland, and possibly with Thornton. The boys began their campaign in excellent style by copping, under adverse weather conditions, the title of the best school team in Maine. This was at the Brunswick Country Club on Patriot's Day, April 19. The Deering golfers threaded their way through the heavy fog and mists which shrouded the course and came away with the fol- lowing scores: Lawrence McCracken, 885 Charles Thaxter, 88, Herrick Randall, 94, Philip Mc- Cracken, 95g Kenneth Zemla, 965 and John Blanchard, 97. The boys' schedule this year includes matches with the Bowdoin Vs., Cheverus, South Port- land, Thornton, Portland, and two new opponents, Lewiston and Edward Little. With golf rapidly attaining a prominent place in the physical educa- tion activities of the alertly managed high schools of this country, the enthusiasm and spirit displayed by the golfers of Deering will assure our school of not lagging behind in this new field. This year's team, blessed with plenty of veteran material, will undoubtedly maintain the fine reputation at- tained in previous years. CROSS COUNTRY Deering's Cross country team completed a sea- son that contained a balanced amount of victories and disappointments. Regardless of the fact that he lost his Southwestern Maine and State harrier champion, Bud Watts, Coach I-Iarvell was look- ing forward to another year of consistent per- formance and a new crop of Hedglings. I-Ie molded a small but enthusiastic group of boys about four veterans, John Ahern, Clarence Foster, Harold Harmon, and Russell Becker, of whom only one will be lost by graduation-john Ahern, small but mighty. This fact casts a strong beam of light on the future which may contain another hill- and-dale combination that will bring back a victory of which no other team can boast in any other sport at Deering, that is, twice the State of Maine Champions. Portland High was the first foe on the schedule and succeeded in collecting 48 points to the Pur- ple's 31. The outstanding surprise, however, was the running of Forrest Ryder who finished a close second to the leader. Looking forward to their next meet, the disheartened boys paced through the 3M miles each day. Finally the time arrived for them to run over the hills of Bridgton against the Academy unit. There they gained their first vic- tory. They earned 41 points to their opponent's 25. At the Bates meet they accomplished an unusual feat. The team ran up a perfect score against the Freshmen. To a cross country competitor, a per- fect score is placing all members of one team before those of the opposing team. Returning from this successful jaunt, the hill- and-dalers entered into rigorous training, for be- fore them was the State Meet at the University of Maine. Many afternoons they were seen scampering over the hills of Gorham to familiarize themselves with the torturous grind of traveling over hilly surface. If righteous training could make a championship team, the Deering Cross Country squad should have been one, but due to unforeseen tough luck they were among the last to cross the finish line at Orono. Regaining their stamina, the Purple harriers proved their mettle against the Bowdoin Fresh- men in their last meet. It was a gruelling fight for victory and very close, because only two points separated the final scores. The Polar Bear yearlings finally established the rating of 29 to Deering's 27. Although the team did not make as good a show- ing in the State Meet as that of the previous year, Coach I-Iarvell saw boys improve and gain experi- ence, which proved that he had good material for future use. At a meeting of letter winners including Ahern, Brackett, Foster, Harmon, Wood, Chadwick and Becker, John Ahern was elected captain. GIRLS' TENNIS The Girls' Tennis Team of 1939 is looking forward to a successful season as many veterans are available for the varsity and intermediates, and an enthusiastic response has been the answer to the call for beginners. The varsity squad is composed entirely of last year's veterans. Beth Reed is captain and the other members of the varsity squad are Ruth Tupper, Phyllis Strickland, Annabelle Sparkman, Jane Pierce, Virginia Cain, and Marsha Barnes. This group is an especially valuable one as it has had much practice and experience, having proved its merit in last year's trials, and it will of course, re- ceive additional members as soon as varsity ma- terial can be recognized among the intermediate players. Deserving special commendation for their whole-hearted enthusiasm and first-class skill are Beth Reed and Ruth Tupper, Last year the varsity was very successful in their contests with the other school tennis teams which they met, and this, coupled with the fact that all of the girls are on this year's varsity, indicates another favorable season. In the course of the season many first-class players should be discovered and developed among the wealth of available intermediate and beginner groups which are both willing and enthusiastic. Practice this year has been faithfully attended even though it was slightly retarded by the un- favorable weather. These sessions were held Tues- day and Thursday of each week from four until six o'clock. Games are scheduled with Cony, Winslow, Fort Fairfield, Portland, and South Portland. The team members showing greatest ability in these games are selected to play in the spring and fall tourna- ment sessions. OUTDOOR TRACK Although weather was a hinderance to an early start of this spring track season this year, Coach Harvell used the gymnasium track as a means of conditioning his small group of 25 candidates. This minority of athletes consisted mostly of vet- erans, a fact that implies an experienced team re- gardless of the diminished number which will compete in each event. With three weeks practice, fourteen members of the team travelled to the University of Maine where they, joining forces with the Lewiston High track squad, contended with the college freshmen. The two high school representatives garnered 732 points to outscore the frosh by 21. Encouraging to the Purple runners was the fact that the points 'fur that they had collected were only 7 less than Maine's SZZ The next meet really took the wind out of their sails, for, at the University of New Hampshire Inter-scholastics, which attracts the strongest high school and prep school teams of New England, Deering garnered but 5 points- the same amount that last year's team scored. To Richard Gordon goes all the credit of these five points. I-Ie won a second place in the hammer throw and a third in the discuss event. Determined to gain the power and balance needed, the coach and team competed with South Portland, Portland, and the Bowdoin Frosh. In these meets strength was in evidence more con- sistently than had been shown before, but there was one weakness: lack of balance, which is remedied only by more representatives in each event. But it is quite useless without the neces- sary number on the team. With these three meets completed at the time of this writing, the members of the squad are de- terminedly pointing for the State Meet. At this assemblage of athletes from all points of the state, Deering runners will have a last chance to prove tlQir strength. In the past, Harvell-tutored men have proven their right of high competitive powers, and this year's team will ight to the last event. -- to HD CLUB The D Club, an outstanding athletic organi- zation, is composed of the letter winners of Deer- ing. It merits hearty congratulations for the part it takes in Deering High School activities. This club raises money for athletic awards such as let- ters, numerals, certificates, and cooperates in all ways with the Athletic Department and the coaches. This year sweaters were awarded to letter win- ners on the varsity football squad. Last fall the D Club started off with a bang by conducting the highly successful Parent's Day which offered on its program three football games and a drill by the Deering High Band. On Thanksgiving night a dance was sponsored by the D Club to celebrate Deering's victory. During the Christmas vacation the Dv Club presented the annual Alumni basketball games and dance which proved popular to both students and Alumni. For the purpose of raising money for athletic awards a dance was given by the D Club in January. In April the D Club ended its active season with the presentation of All Deering Night, a party which included the inauguration of the mayor, presentation of letters, and an entertain- ment and dance. The D Club is well organized under the able leadership of faculty advisor, Coach Wiggin, President, Richard McCann, Vice-president, Keith Young, Secretary, Betty Beal, and Treasurer, Arthur Galli. FRESHMAN RECEPTION The Class of 1942 held its reception on the evening of November 10, 1938. Preceding the re- ception a program was presented in the auditorium by members of the class. Tableaux portraying characters from school studies were presented. These characters included Zeus, Hermes, Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony, Long john Silver and Benjamin Franklin. The tableaux were presented by speakers Beverly Stevens, Ann Kimball, and William Prouty. Parents, teachers, and friends were welcomed by the class president, George A. Haskell. Fal- lowing the entertainment, a reception followed by a dance was held in the gymnasium. Patrons and patronesses were Principal and Mrs. William E. Wing, Miss Anne E. McKechnie, Mrs. and Mrs. Arad E. Linscott, Miss Helen Abbott, and Miss Elizabeth Fay. Also in the receiving line were President George Haskell and Vice-president Jean Marsh. DRAMATIC CLUB Every two weeks Deering's Thespian-minded students gather in the auditorium to enjoy frolick- ing comedy as well as stark drama when the Dra- matic Club presents a one-act play as entertain- ment to its members. It is one of the largest and most active organiza- tions in Deering, the membership consists of two hundred and fifty enthusiastic students who are taking their first stride toward a theatrical career or merely seeking the pleasure of earnest endeavor. Its primary object is to provide the school and its many friends with entertainment of the high- est quality and to enable talented students to per- form before a sympathetic audience. The first major production of the year was the twelfth annual Dramatic Club Play on November nineteenth. New Fires found an appreciative audience when a haughty family of the smart set was transplanted to a farm in the West. Mary Geer, the social-minded daughter, who preferred to starve rather than do her share of the work on a measly farm was finally inspired by the young country doctor, Albert Smaha. Mary Lee Riggs and Robert Goldthwaite played the parts of the mischievous but lovable brother and sister. Doro- thy Jane Whitcomb worked hard to gain his family's favor after her elopement with Clayton Smith. Very capable as mother and father to this amazing family were Barbara Hamblen and John Marsh. Kathryn Libby and Winslow Hall were typical farm hands, and they were admirably supported by Alice Elizabeth Shaw, Philip Miller, Rhoda Tolford, Alberta Hodges, and Muriel Weisman. In the Bowdoin Interscholastic Play Contest, Deering presented a drama in one-act. John Marsh was outstanding in The Rising of the Moon for his beautiful voice and excellent acting. Bernard McDonough played the part of an Irish sergeant, while Clayton Smith and Walter Sullivan con- stituted the remainder of the all-male cast. DEERING HIGH SCHOOL BAND For the third season, Conductor Joseph L. Gaudreau raised his baton to add another chapter to the history of the famous Deering High School Band. This musical organization is composed of ninety-two pieces and nine drum majors. Our band got off to an early start by playing at the Annual Parents' Day in the Fall. In Decem- ber, this group of musicians had an opportunity to demonstrate the result of its splendid training to a radio audience by participating in one of a group of broadcasts by Maine schools. The annual concert was held in the Portland City Hall Auditorium with outstanding success, both in attendance and in the performance of the band. Among the selections played were the over- ture Raymond by Thomas, one of the selective numbers on the required list for high school bands in Class A and AA according to the National Music Festival ratings, and the first movement of Symphony In B Minor fUnfinished Symphony, by Schubert, a required number of the Festival. An added attraction of the concert was the visit of our Chief Executive, Governor Lewis O. Bar- rows, who led the band in the march, Americana', by Fulton. The proceeds from the concert were used to de- fray expenses when the band participated in the Western Maine Music Festival, May thirteenth at Auburn, Maine, and in the New England Music Festival, May nineteenth and twentieth at Worces- ter, Massachusetts. Our band, under the very able direction of Con- ductor Gaudreau deserves much credit in overcom- ing its serious loss of players. The graduation of last June removed twenty-eight members from the front ranks of the various sections. The vacant chairs were readily filled by members of the second band who deserve great credit for their work. Great praise is due the Deering High School Band Mothers' Club for its never ceasing support. It was by its untiring efforts and generous public support that our band received new uniforms last year. The cooperation of the band mothers is mak- ing certain our trips to the annual festivals. The Deering High School Band is deeply in- debted for its high rating in marching and drill- ing precision to Major Karl V. Palmer who not only has demonstrated his capability as drill mas- ter, but his most excellent management of the band on its trip to Burlington, Vermont last year in- dicated how fortunate the Portland schools are in having a man of such ability. The City of Portland, our school and the public who have loyally supported us can be sure that the Deering High School Band will always do its best. STUDENT SERVICE The Student Service is the name given to the organization whose members give announcements to their homerooms and collect the attendance slips each period from the various rooms in the school building. The homeroom members meet each Tues- day morning during the twenty-minute period with Mr. Wing, who announces the important events of the week to come. At this time, too, different boys and girls are assigned to collect attendance slips for each day during the following week. Those students who are connected with this group are: Lawrence Sullivan, Willard Stoddard, William Ryder, Carroll Rumery, Myrtle Morrill, Jean Allen, Lucille Charles, Evangeline Hicks, Russell Chadwick, Dorothy Galli, Ada Freeman, Alberta Hodges, Betty Jones, Elizabeth Grigson, Kathryn McGovern, Teddy Karalekas, Jean O'Brien, Cheever Lyden, Hortense Hamilton, Ar- line Thurlow, Betty Webster, Richard Sargent, Viola Lajoie, John Webb, Peggy Fox, Bart Di Matteo, Frances Kidder, Richard Mayberry, Ralph Smith, Harold Harmon, Viola Everett, Robert Goldthwaite, David MacDonald, Sylvia Campbell, Mary Geer, Ruth Sherry, Gloria Edwards, Doro- thy Harvey, Percy Marsters, James Doughty, and Helena Shaw. THE ORCHESTRA When on each Tuesday and Thursday during the sixth period, stirring sounds of music issue from the auditorium, we know our orchestra is holding a rehearsal. During the season of 1938 and 1939, Deering's sixty piece orchestra has made considerable progress under the capable baton of Mrs. Maude H. Haines. It has played at the Dramatic Club and Senior Class plays as well as at many of the school assemblies. In April, a con- cert and broadcast were given in connection with the 30th anniversary of its organization in 1909. This year, through the work and interest of the newly-formed Orchestra Mothers' Club, the or- chestra was able to compete in both the Western Maine Festival at Auburn, and the New England Festival at Worcester, Massachusetts for the Class A rating which it has won in former years. The combined work of players and conductors during the past thirty years has made the orchestra the finished organization we are proud of today. DEBATING CLUB The 1939 officers of the Deering Debating Club were Warren Horton, Prexidentg Ruth Pluznick, Vice-president, Barbara Webster, Secretary, Sum- ner Bemstein, Treasurer, and Mildred Rosenberg, Chairman of the Program Committee. The Club began a successful and busy season with Deering's first dance of the year on October 15th. Warren Horton was the chairman of this in- formal dance and Sumner Bernstein, the business manager. Deering's Debating Team won second place in the Bowdoin League Debate this year. The ques- tion was Resolved that the United States adopt section 1 of the Neutrality Act as a permanent policy. Warren Horton presented the afhrma- tive case, Mildred Rosenberg, the negative. Mil- dred Rosenberg received the honor for the best individual speaker in the contest. February 11th Deering entered teams, made up of Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors, in the Southwestern Maine Practice Debate Tournament at Portland High School. The question was Re- solved that the United States enter Anglo-Ameri- can Alliance . In addition to League Debates, the club held debates on timely topics, followed by a forum, at each meeting, and once a month held a social meet- ing at the homes of members. In March a series of inter-class debates were given on the proposed Anglo-American Alliance. On All Deering Nitef' Mildred Rosenberg re- ceived a medal for her outstanding work in de- bating for the past year. She received the highest rating of any entrant in the state-wide Bowdoin inter-scholastic meet. At the same time varsity let- ters were presented to Warren Horton, Sumner Bernstein, Harry Eddy, Mildred Rosenberg, and Norton Nevels. The varsity debaters had their annual banquet on April 21st, and the club closed itls season's activities with a picnic in June. GLEE CLUBS The Girls' Glee Club meets every Monday at one-fifteen in the music room under the capable direction of Mrs. Maude H. Haines, and the Boys' Glee Club meets at the same time on Wednesday of each week. Joint meetings of these groups are held in rehearsing for the larger en- tertainments. The first major project of the year for the com- bined Glee Clubs was the production of The Holy Nativity, a Christmas pageant. This was presented for the Pathfinders Club, the Portland Teachers Association, and before the student body at their Christmas assembly. The soloists were Virginia Logan, soprano, Maxwell Lait, tenorg and john Marsh, baritone. In February the Glee Clubs presented their an- nual operetta, The Gypsy Rover, a gay musical U1 1 ::,1' mum mun1rnm11mwlllllla umm KT Q Q S 'Wx 5 vm S' J -5: K 'J f J ', 55S4s.:':1x ' K ww,-. 1 ' 1 X ' WW -.,. .

Taking the leading parts were Ann Whibley, the English Lady, and Thomas Hennessy, the Gypsy Rover. Later in the year, the Glee Clubs were repre- sented in the Deering Orchestra's broadcast over WCSH by Virginia Logan and John Marsh. Vir- ginia Logan, a promising soprano, sang L'Amour- Toujours-L'Amour,' and Because. John Marsh gave a splendid rendition of Home on the Range. The last big event of the year was the Annual Minstrel Show, a modern musicale with vocal and instrumental entertainment, and dancing. Rustles of Spring was presented by the two Glee Clubs on May 12th. The End Women were Marjorie McCubrey and Ann Whibley, and the End Men were Douglas Maroon, George Sager, and William Brown. L'ATELIER The French clubs of this year saw an innovation appear within their ranks. Instead of the usual two clubs, Junior and Senior, a third group, the Intermediate, was introduced. This proved to be a more satisfactory plan, since the finer distinction fitted better the several abilities of the student members. The Junior Club, directed by Miss Hamlin, spent most of its time studying French songs and presenting French plays at the meetings. The mem- bers constructed the manger for the Nativity scene at Christmas, then began work on puppets for a puppet show. The officers were: President, Judith Hammond, Vice-President, Donald Hobbs, Sec- retary-Treasurer, Mary Lou Robinson. Under the direction of Miss Briggs, the Inter- mediate group spent several meeting periods in an advanced vocabulary study and in question-and- answer periods about the subjects studied at the meetings. Miss Briggs gave illustrated talks on Paris and the Riviera and conducted a study of French coins and stamps. The oflicers were: Presi- dent, Jane Pierce, Vice-President, Maxine Schel- linger, Secretary, Rhoda Tolfordg Treasurer, Nat- alie Curtisg Program Committee, Charlotte Nesbit and Gwendolyn Cushing. The Senior Club, directed by Miss Dolley, took an imaginary tour of France, visiting a different section each week. The meetings were held every Tuesday, and at that time the members gave indi- vidual reports of the interesting parts of the dis- tricts covered in the week's branch of the tour. The club subscribed to a French newspaper, the Paris-Soir. Closer contact with France was es- tablished when several students began correspon- dence with French students, each writing in his own language. In addition to this constructive course, a com- prehensive study of pronunciation was made through phonograph records and the series of pro- grams presented by radio station WTIC, Hart- ford, Connecticut, featuring Professor A. Croteau, Foreign Language Department, Connecticut State College. The Senior Group had no officers, but a chairman was appointed to have charge of each meeting. Nathan Adams was the year's general chairman. The three clubs collaborated on two projects during the year. At Christmas they met together, each group having charge of a part of the program. The Intermediate Club took charge of the carol- singing, while the other two groups presented plays. A skit from jean Valjean was presented by the Senior group. Christmas in America and Christmas in France were depicted by the Junior group. On March 24th the three clubs sponsored a Tea Dance. THE PURPLE CAVALRY In its second year at Deering, the Purple Cavalry has welcomed many new riding enthusi- asts. The new clubhouse at the Walnut Crest Riding School has been the scene of many of the club's activities. The group held several long rides, among which was a three-day trip to Watchic Lake. Social events have included swim- ming parties, breakfast rides, and monthly socials. During the February vacation the Purple Cavalry, with the other riding clubs at Walnut Crest, en- joyed a Winter Carnival. After a snowy ride everyone had a grand time ski-joring, tobogganing, and skating. With the arrival of spring an active riding season was planned by the members. Awards for horsemanship were given at the gymkhanas in the spring and fall. The 1939 ofiicers of this riding club were Mar- garet Burt, President, Ellen Morton, Vice-presi- dent, Margaret Anderson, Secretary, and Bernice Cleaves, Treasurer. Jeanne Morris was faculty advisor. ART CLUB For two years, the major project of the Art Club has been to get together a group of pictures done by former graduates of Deering High School who are now professional artists. The Art Club now has twenty-five pictures which comprise a valuable collection of etchings, oil paintings, wood blocks, water colors, and pastels. These pictures are displayed in the Little Gallery just off the Music Room. There were five pictures received this year. William Thompson, teacher of Art at Portland High School, did a still life in oil paint- ing, Frederick Larrabee, artist for the Morse Advertising Agency, gave a landscape done in water color, Dr. Linwood Easton, well known among American etchers, presented the club with three etchings. The Art Club has been very active this year. The club has been buying some art books with the money made from its various enterprises. The members designed the school Christmas cards. They have taken several trips to Swett Memorial Art Museum. These trips were held for the pur- pose of art appreciation and were very well at- tended. In the spring a sketching trip was held. On March 17 the annual Art Club Dance was held. The St. Patrick's Day decorations were all made from papier mache. The unique feature of the decoration was a six foot clay pipe in which incense was burning. The active season of the Art Club was closed by the annual picnic which was held at Crystal Lake at Dry Mills. The ofiicers were Alan Richards, President, Judith Hammond, Vice-President, Evelyn Day, Secretary, Helene Wood, Treasurer, and Marie Lucas, Chairman of the Executive Committee. Miss Julia Seabury was Faculty Advisor. GEOLOGY CLUB This year, the Geology Club, which is directed by Mr. Emmons, enjoyed eight field trips. Five of these trips were taken during the Fall term, the other three in the Spring. The club membership is comprised of members of the classes studying geology. In the Fall, they visited Willard Beach, Peaks Island, Mt. Apatite in Auburn, and the Cape Shore. On a trip to the White Mountains they visited the Red Stone quarry near Conway, New Hampshire and Diana's Baths. In the Spring the group traveled to Mt. Desert Island. This trip was made by bus and as usual was especially enjoyable and of immense educa- tional value. During the winter season, field trips are both club sub- inconvenient and impractical, therefore the meetings were devoted to talks on various jects related to the science of geology. These talks were given by members of the club. Mr. Emmons gave several interesting and in- structing lectures and showed the club worthwhile mineral specimens and slides. At the January meeting Mr. Herbert Haven described two trips to the west coast. He added in- terest by accompanying his lecture with an exhibi- tion of snapshots and mineral specimens from the places which he had visited. The oliicers for 1938-39 were President, Norman Lovejoy, Vice-President, William Sawyerg Secre- tary, Eleanor O'Brien, and Treasurer, Peter Rogers. STAMP CLUB The Deering High School Stamp Club meets twice each month in Room 101 under the capable direction of Mr. Peterson. The group exchanges duplicate stamps and listens to papers concern- ing philately at each meeting. The Stamp Club had an exhibition in the li- brary this year displaying choice stamps from each member's collection. The last project of the club was the drawing up of the constitution. The members of this club have found stamp collecting a very interesting hobby. They have found also that this pastime widens their knowl- edge of history, geography, and of peoples and customs of far-away lands. The ofiicers of the Stamp Club were: President, Warren Turner, Vice-President, Stanley Sylves- ter, Secretary, Donald A. Sears, and Treasurer, Virginia Libby. RED CROSS This year the Red Cross continued its benevo- lent work under the direction of Miss Eleanor Cross. The organization attended to the emer- gency presented by the New England hurricane by a contribution to the Hurricane Relief Fund. At Thanksgiving five families were provided with baskets, and donations of provisions and money were made to the American Legion. Later, the group contributed to the Community Chest Fund. The greatest part of the work came at Christ- mas time. A gift of new books was presented to the State School for Boys. New presents were given to a family of fourteen whose holiday other- wise would have been quite cheerless. In addition, two Christmas entertainments were presented, one at the Womens' Literary Union. Besides this benevolence, aid has been presented to individuals as needed. Throughout the year, funds have been aug- mented by the sale of candy at school entertain- ments. The climax of the work was the presenta- tion of a Musical Revue in collaboration with the musical organizations. Meetings of the Red Cross are scheduled for every Wednesday morning. Representatives are chosen from the group and sent to the council meetings at the Red Cross Headquarters. The officers for the current year were: President, Charlotte Nesbitg Vice-President, Edward Fen- dersong Treasurer, Doris Feeneyg Assistant Treas- urer, Ruth Asterbery, Secretary, Lois Thompson. CHEMISTRY CLUB This year the Chemistry Club, under the direc- tion of Mr. Bean, engaged in many activities of in- terest. The club went on field trips, the most im- portant of these being to the S. D. Warren Com- pany, the Portland Gas Works, the National Bis- cuit Company, Cushman's Bakery, and the Burn- ham ancl Morrill Company. Besides the trips, motion pictures of industrial and laboratory pro- cesses were shown on several occasions. During February vacation a group of students that included members of the club made a trip to Bates College where they attended the annual science exhibit. The club's meetings are scheduled once each month. Officers for the year were: President, Richard Churchill, Vice-president, Jed Stuttevantg Secretary-treasurer, Dorothy Jane Whitcomb. CAMP FIRE GIRLS The Stantaki Camp Fire Group held its weekly business meeting every Monday morning during the twenty minute period. At these meetings plans were made for the social activities and Camp Fire projects. The Annual Fashion Show and Dance was the outstanding project for the year. The theme was A Day in the Life of a Bride. Betty was spend- ing the first day in her own home. Many of her friends called, presenting humorous situations. The group sent a Thanksgiving basket to a needy family. At Christmas a box of toys was sent to the children of the same family. The group also sang Christmas Carols at the Home for Aged Women. Among the social activities was an all day trip to Augusta. This included visiting the State House, Togus, and Fort Western. In December Mrs. George Burnham Morrill en- tertained the group at her home for tea. A delight- ful afternoon was spent with Mrs. Morrill. Being a perfect hostess was the topic of our discussion. Mrs. Wing, one of our sponsors, who is inter- ested in Camp Fire symbolism, invited the girls to her home one afternoon. The aftemoon was spent discussing symbolism. The girls obtained many new ideas and made the acquaintance of a charm- ing lady. On Mothers' Day the girls entertained their mothers at tea. The group took part in the Annual Camp Fire Birthday Celebration. This year it was an Americana Pageant which portrayed the dress, manners, and customs of early America. In May the annual Council Fire was held at Wingsgate in the grove which Mr. and Mrs. Wing dedicated to the Camp Fire Girls of Deering. The last event was a trip to the Animal Farm in Nashua, New Hampshire. WRITERS, CLUB The Writers, Club meets sixth period daily as a class in creative writing. This is an optional course, for which no credit is given. During these workshop periods examples of various types of writing are studied and exercises are done by the students. Manuscripts are read aloud and construc- tive criticism is given by members of the group. The Writers' Club also holds several afternoon and evening meetings during the year, at which members who cannot attend the sixth period classes are also present. This year the club has produced work in the field of essay, the short story, poetry, and various phases of journalism. The best work of the year is published in the annual book, N ew Leaves. This year manuscripts have been exchanged with the senior class at Waynilete, and on April twenty-eighth the two groups held a joint meeting with Professor Eric P. Kelley as the advisor. The oflicers of the club are: President, Barbara Hambleng Vice-President, Constance Barbourg Secretary, Virginia Stover, Chairman of Hospi- tality, Dorothy Mahoney, Custodian of Manu- scripts, Mary Shevlin. Other members are Janet Allen, Owen Durgin, Adelaide Garside, William Hood, jean Jordan, Harriet Lothrop, june Max- field, Lowell Milliken, Gordon O,Donnell, Alan Richards, Phyllis Strickland, and Barbara Webster. SKI CLUB This winter's abundance of snow afforded the ski enthusiasts an opportunity of skiing every week-end from Thanskgiving to graduation. But before a snowflake fell, several members of the club were kept busy on summer trips, repairing and cleaning Ski Haven, gathering berries and fruits to make preserves for the winter, making slalom flags for the race courses, and getting in the win- ter wood supply. Ski classes were held on Tuesdays and Thurs- days at Stroudwater, weather permitting. When the weather was unfavorable, dry classes were held at school, the time being spent in lecture peri- ods. Immediately following Thanksgiving, a short series of lectures on equipment, health, and technique was presented at these dry classes. On December 7th Miss Hall spoke on the health requirements of skiing. On January 31st Drs. Martin and Cummings discussed and illustrated First Aid. On November 18th and 19th the club sponsored a rummage sale. The committee was: chairman, John White, collecting, Douglas Cowan. The Senior Mount Washington trip was held February 19th, 20th, and Zlst. Other trips to the mountains were held later during the spring. Throughout the year thirty-two trips were taken. Three hundred and twenty-five people, in all, went on these trips, ninety-two different ones participat- ing. In a long racing season of eight meets, the Deering skiers lost only to the boys' alumni and to the combined team of the Portland Ski Club and Hockamocks, the latter by a small margin. Outstanding wins came over South Portland and the I-Iockamock Ski Club and in the girls' cham- pionship races at Ossipee Mountain, where our girls scored heavily in all events to carry of the honors. The boys' and girls' teams also won first honors in several neighboring carnivals. The officers and directors were: Secretary, Helene Wood, Treasurer, Robert Chapmang Membership and Instruction, Margaret White, Competition, Raymond Blanchardg Trips, Vernon Everettg Cabin and Trails, Holman Wilson, Publicity, Barbara Moody. DEERING RIDING CLUB This year the Deering Riding Club has been humming with activity. Every Friday afternoon a gay group of girls astride well-kept horses could be seen riding through the Stroudwater woods. The club meets the first Friday in every month at the Waynllete stables and clubhouse to discuss plans for major activities. Many times during the year the club has enjoyed early morning break- fast rides, after which brunch has been served in the clubhouse, and during the winter, racing on the river brought a new thrill to the riders. One of the most important events of the season, the Winter Carnival, held on the Stroudwater River banks, furnished skating, skiing, uequiboggan- ingf' sleighing, ski-joring, and riding. After the coronation of the Carnival Queen, Miss Dorothy Wallace, the group returned to the clubhouse for refreshments and music. With the competent assistance of Miss Fay, the club's new advisor, the annual Barn Dance was negotiated with great success. A Christmas party, with mock gifts and a taffy-pull, and an alumnae party drew a large attendance. The roller-skating party was received with equal enthusiasm. This year, Westbrook Junior College enter- tained the club at tea, and in return, our members gave a tea in the Deering Library with Wayn- flete's, Westbrook's, and St. joseph's riders as guests. With due appreciation to Miss Fay, the faculty advisor, and Mrs. Tomlinson of the Waynfiete Riding School for their helpful cooperation, this year has been a most enjoyable and successful one for the Deering Riding Club. This year's officers were: Betty Ward, President, Mary Marble, Vice-President, Dorothy jane Whit- comb, Secretary, and Katherine Nickels, Treasurer. CAMERA CLUB This year the Camera Club, under the direction of Mr. Favor, had as its objective the encourage- ment of an interest in pictures, their taking, de- velopment, printing, and enlargement. The members were taught the basic principles of picture-making. Also, they were taught to de- velop an eye for photographic subjects, to discover the angle at which they will photograph most ef- fectively, and, if the subjects are people or animals, to recognize the most natural, characteristic, and interesting pose. To put this instruction into prac- tice, the club took held trips to places of scenic in- terest for camera work. The results of some can- did and informal camera studies are found in the AMETHYST, and the Club is to be thanked and complimented for the pictures used. In the spring the annual photograph contest was held. The requirements of the contest were that all of the work be done by the student himself, from the exposure to the printing and enlarging. Prizes were awarded for the best examples of work, and outstanding pictures were exhibited in the school. The club boasted about twenty members, and the officers were: President, Joseph Sturtevantg Vice- President, Donald Hobbs, Secretary-Treasurer, Jane Marshall. GIRL RESERVES The Tri-Y is the name of the high school sec- tion of the YWCA. The meetings are held every Friday afternoon at three o'clock in the Girl Reserve club rooms at the Y. This year the club has a membership of forty- five girls who plan and carry out their own social activities and projects with the capable guidance and help of Miss Farnham, faculty advisor. A few of the important social events this year have been a splash party at the Boys' Club, a silver tea, a sleigh ride, and a supper and candle lighting ceremonial, and on several occasions the girls have had speakers on vocational guidance. Among their interesting projects of the past year have been Thanksgiving baskets, a Christmas party and tree for the children of the day nursery, and the publishing of a monthly club paper. In May the girls gave a very successful Mother and Daughter Social and the activities of the club year were closed by a house party at Camp Kono- way in White's Cove. WASHINGTON CLUB This year, the annual pilgrimage to our Nation's Capitol under the capable direction of Mr. Em- mons, our conductor, has an added treat. This unusual feature was the two days' visit to the New York World's Fair. You can easily imagine how great was the excitement aroused by the announce- ment of the World's Fair sojourn. The eventful day for starting was April 28th. Our group assembled in the cafeteria, as is cus- tomary, and we traveled by bus to Boston. The trip on shipboard from Boston to New York was a new experience for most of us. We visited New York, jersey City, Philadelphia, and Washington. We had a two days' stop in Washington when we took a trip to Mount Vernon, and Annapolis, an extra attraction this year. During our stay in New York we enjoyed a trip to the top of the RCA tower where we had a splendid view of the fire works from the World's Fair. Our first excursion at the Fair was a sight- seeking tour of the grounds by bus. Our sojourn in Washington this year was short- ened in order that we might spend the proposed two days at the World's Fair, and consequently, the trip to the Luray Caverns had to be omitted. RADIO CLUB After a lapse of three years, the activities of the Deering Radio Club have been resumed under the capable direction of Mr. Ralph Morgridge. This year instead of building radios and study- ing their mechanism, the members have been more interested in learning the code and in being able to send and receive it at a definite rate of speed, so they may obtain private transmitting licenses. In order to get this license, one must be able to send and receive thirteen words a minute in code and must also be able to answer questions per- taining to radio laws, function, and theory. At the weekly meetings, held on Tuesday after- noons, the first fifteen minutes are set aside for dis- cussion. After that, various members transmit and receive code, either on a radio or on a practice machine. Two short wave radios and one practice machine have been built with the help of the club dues. At the first of the year, the members hoped to take the examinations for the licenses in Feb- ruary. But, as the group has been handicapped by the lack of equipment, it now hopes to take the tests sometime during the summer months. The oflicers were Harry Campbell, Jr., Presi- dentg Edward Lincoln, Secretary, and Merrill Tibbetts, Treasurer. BANKING One of Deering's most beneficial organizations is its bank, operated by three tellers who are chosen according to their merit along these lines by Miss Tyler, the banking adviser, and also by Miss Bradbury. The tellers this year are Mardell Marston, Joyce Trott, and Laura Manchester. These tellers open the bank at eight o'clock every Monday morning and service is offered until nine- twenty. Most of the work is carried on during this time, the remainder being easily completed during study periods. A few years ago, the Deer- ing High School Bank had a fair number of de- positors but it has grown rapidly and now far out- ranks all previous years. The money is taken in and recorded on the school bank book, the deposit statement, and the ledger. The balances are then recorded on the trial balance. This process is the same every Mon- day except once a month, when there is a trans- fer day. All balances of a dollar or more are transferred to the records of the Maine Savings Bank where interest is accrued. All those who bank every bank day are given pins of award at the close of the year. A worthy organization indeed, and one in which Deering may well take pride. WOOD CARVING The Deering High Wood Carving Club meets every Monday afternoon from two to four under the leadership of Mr. Frank W. P. Bailey. For four years the club has ventured to produce pains- taking work of high merit. The purpose of the club is to teach its members one of the oldest arts known to man. The ancient cave man with his crude tools carved figures in stone and later ap- plied his art to wood. Any person who can sharpen a pencil can learn to carve in wood, but he who has experience in the use of carpenteris tools has a better prepara- tion. Each member has to furnish his own wood, since the club has a complete set of the finest wood-carving tools available. Some of the work done by the members this year are carved foot-stools, jewel boxes, desk sets, coats of arms, pirate chests, wall plaques and many other useful articles. CHEERLEADERS Deering can boast only one undefeated athletic squad, the cheerleaders. This group has been care- fully trained by Clayton Smith. The cheerleading squad, composed of Richard Pettengill, Robert Stuart, Harold Foley, Laird Harris, and Clayton Smith, has done its part in upholding the good old school spirit. They showed their versatile skill when they presented a fashion show on Parents Day. The cheerleaders are to be congratulated for their fine work in directing several rallies. CADETS Under the tutelage of Major Karl V. Palmer, this year's corps of cadets, lead by Major Philip Palmer and Captains Richard Minster, Roger Nurse and Eugene Cofran, prepared for the an- nual Cadet Ball. This was held at the Exposition Building on April twenty-first. At this time they met the Portland High cadets in rifle drill competition. Deer-ing's adroit drill squad, The Minute Men,', has been less active publicly than in fore- going years, but the members met twice each week to perfect their routine. marching and This year Major Palmer procured new rifles for the squad. A change of uniform has been planned for next year. Slacks may supplant the breeches and leggins. ARCHERY CLUB Through the able guidance of Mr. Bailey, a new club was formed at Deering two years ago- the Archery Club. The expense of an archer's equipment did not disconcert those who were really interested. Since the Archery and Wood- carving Clubs met together, on Monday after- noon, the archers became woodcarvers during the winter months and made their own equipment with the help of Mr. Bailey. In the fall and spring the members of the club engaged in practice shooting and occasional tour- naments. During the winter months the meetings were held in the manual training rooms where stu- dents were able to repair or replenish their equip- ment. The archery season was closed by the usual trip to Mr. Baileyis summer home at Little Chebeague Island, where the group enjoyed swimming, archery, exploration, and boat excursions.
