Mus. WALTER BACHELDER PATHFINDEIVS CLUB For sixteen years the Pathf1nder's Club, an organization for the mothers of Lincoln Junior and Deering High School pupils, has offered opportunities for better understanding between the mothers and the teachers. The Club has been of much service to Worthy Deering graduates by granting them scholarship aid toward further education. This year, a Community lnterrelations Committee and a Welfare Committee were added to the organization, and, as the need seemed more urgent, emphasis Was placed on Welfare Work rather than on scholarship aid as formerly.

Brown, Schwartz, Mcllouough, Trott, Neal, Sager. THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1940 ln September, 1936, we thought we were the best class ever to cross the Deering threshold. We've had the usual sheiks, humorists, and in- nocents abroad, and more than our share of all EH students and letter- winning athletes. Our freshman year, Philip Dopey Miller was elected pilot. Our shining lights began to glimmer. Clarence Mclntire, Neil Clark, Rhoda Tolford, Virginia Logan, the Korda twins, Mary Lee Riggs, and John Lord performed brilliantly at our Reception. Ernest Bowler won two varsity letters, Barney lWcDonough and Laird Harris, one. Our sophomore year, Clarence Mclntire took over the governmental reins. Herm Schwartz and Barney won three varsity letters apiece, Bowler and Mclntire, two, Harris, Drew, and Thaxter, one. Miss Pittas famous Latin class came to the front as gentlemen, athletes, and scholars. Our junior year, shepherded by Walter Schwartz, we had a jinancial- ly successful prom. The Latin classes found out about the ablative of accordance and the subjunctive of attraction, and, depending solely on these, went merrily through Cicero. Carleton Kilpatrick astonished the world by proving Neil Clark could be wrong. Our senior year, Barney was helmsman. Our students overran the EH lists. Our athletes dominated the athletic fields. Our play, What a Life, was a superior production! Wefve made a lasting impression on most of the faculty, but Virgil seemed to be a little cold to us at times. Page Twelve
