Deering High School - Amethyst Yearbook (Portland, ME)

Text from Pages 1 - 140 of the 1941 volume:

I PRINCIPALQS WISH In this world of inverted values it is my wish that each and of ou work out for yourselves a philosophy of lifeg every one y in so doing you should ask yourselves, What place have the following items in my philosophy? Hate Loyalty Honesty Love Intolerance Preiudice Justice Religion Kindness Responsibility Self-reliance William E. Wing, Principal KKXXXKXXX?u'X?9'5ZK'.iR EDITORS FOREWORD Said Disraeli, The secret of success is constancy to pur- pose. Should we take the great French philosopher's words just as they appear, the 1941 Amethyst is an overwhelming success, for, not only have we kept to our purpose, to produce a Deering High School yearbook, a book of which each class can be proud, but we have insured a yearbook for the class of 1942. Ten editors, one hundred assistants, and an able faculty advisor, have worked since early fall to effect this 1941 Amethyst. And they have worked hard, battling against the greatest of odds, that Deering should never be withoutaa yearbook, that a pictorial review instead of a written ac- count might be presented, that features never attempted by other yearbooks might be inaugurated. The Amethyst, we feel, has passed a crisis, a crucial year. It has come through with fiying colors, renewed strength. For aforementioned reasons-all set against a background representative of untiring labor, this yearbook should be your most prized possession for years to come. It should hold the place on your bookshelf which your diploma holds in your heart. Long live the Amethyst! May it always be constant to its purpose. 1161 ,- lr? ,K ff 'Pr' -,l'4 l 7 I I X A 18' Gr X ll xi D f ' r X L. ff' 1l. 132, QQ? THEME Few secondary schools in New England, per- haps in the entire country, enioy a more widely diversified program of extra-curricular activities than does Deering High School. It these activities merely were of entertain- ment value, they would be of little worth. But, the Deering student who has been a member of a club, team, or organization knows he has re- ceived, in addition, a far richer reward for his participation, he has met problems, and has solved them, has learned responsibility and has gained in many instances practical experience in his future vocation. Deering is proud of its unique program of extra-curricular activities, and it is to this that we dedicate the 1941 Amethyst. ' l' if likfll .1 Sl f . f fi X X OSC: vn4go,o' Q 44 o o 9. 00.

RAEBURNE MARSH, Acting Chairman PATHFINDEIVS CLUB In March, 1924 a group of nine interested mothers of Deering High School pupils met to discuss the problems of high School boys and girls and organized the Pathf1nder'S Club, hoping that by cooperation of mothers and teachers benefits for all would be ob- tained. From that time on the Pathfinder's Club has grown and all parents of Lincoln Junior and Deering High School pupils are eligible and urged to join. The object of the club as stated in its Constitution and By-Laws shall be to: 1 Provide a means of communication between the parents, pupils, and teachers, 2 Help in the general welfare of the school wherever possible, 3 Promote friendship between the mothers themselves, 4 To assist one or more worthy students who shall have completed a four-year course in Deering High School and shall have graduated therefrom, to ob- - tain a higH H, and, for thatpiipcfefo raise funds'. f QQ During the past two years emphasis has been placed on welfare work and our money raised by projects has been used to help needy students as well as for the Scholarship Fund.

English, carried away orchestral honors at the Lewiston New England Music Festival in May, as well as in the Maine State Festival in Portland. Two concerts were given by the orchestra in the course of the year, one in December, the other in April. The group played at a vesper concert with the band and Glee Clubs in March, and furnished pre-curtain music at the Senior Class Play.

This year's staff of girls consists of the following girls: Viola Wilson, Annie Archer, Frances jones, Ruth Hamilton, Carolyn Savage, Lucille Savage, Viola Everett, Lillian Bamford, and Joyce Trott- ALL-DEERING NITE Gay Nineties days came to life in the Deering auditorium when the D Club presented its annual show in April. Headlined by a melodramatic epic, Curse you, Jack Dalton andthe inauguration of Le'land'McInnis-as Mayor and Esther-Germain as Miss Deering., The All-Deering Nite show attracted one of the year's largest crowds. Featuring the vaude- ville show were a German Band and Philip Frothingham,s magic acts. Dancing followed to Bob Marcous's student band. E163 THE SCHOOL BANK The school bank, a beneficial organization at Deering, is open every Monday morning from eight to eight-forty. The work in the Bank is done by three tellers, Joyce Trott, Marion Foster, and Jac- quelyn Boucher. On the first Monday of each month, all balances of one dollar or more are transferred to the records of the Maine Savings Bank- At the end of the year, pins are given to all those who bank every bank day. STUDENT SERVICE One representative from each home-room is chosen in the Fall by the home-room teacher to represent the home-room in Student Service. This club meets every Tuesday morning with Mr. Wing. It is through these people that Mr. Wing announces the weekly events of the school. It also gives an opportunity for the pupils to make complaints or suggest new ideas. E171 THE LIBRARY Our Library is a definite asset to the school. Without it, students and teachers would be at a complete loss. On its shelves are found books of practical arts, books of travel, his- tory, and biography. In addition to all these, there are books of poetry and fiction and a particularly fine collection of reference books. This department is headed by Winnebel Gower, competent member of the faculty, who is always more than Willing to aicl in anybody's difliculties. The students can well be proud of their library, for besides being attractive and well equipped, it was one of the first school libraries in the state. E131 RAM -BLI N GS Q'An urgent need was felt in the senior class for a publication that would serve as a link to extra curricular and social events of the school. It is hoped, further, that the paper will stimulate and effect that school spirit of which Deering is claimed to be void,'-Ram- Blings, Volume one, number one . . . This was the purpose of Deering's new bi-monthly publication when the Hrst editions were distributed to an overflow Open House gathering. The consensus of opinion at the end of the year after a dozen editions seemed to be that that purpose had been accomplished. Circulation at the end of the year was well over the 1,000 mark with enthusiasm for its continued issuance strong. SKATING CLUB The Deering Skating Club, which boasts of Z0 members was organized this year, with the aid of Mr. Wiggin. Mr. DeMears instructed the girls and boys in the fundamentals. Harmon Priest won the first prize in the Men's division, at the Riverside Carnival, and Beverly Cambridge the first prize in the Girl's division. The oH'icers of the club are: Claire Ashton, president, Jean Preston, vice-president, Harmon Priest, secretary, and Merrill Flint, treasurer. The club hopes to be more active next year, by putting on a Carnival and Dance. wi CADETS - 1940 AND 1941 The Deering High School Cadets have made fine progress this year. The corps is hard- working and enthusiastic. In Cadets, a boy learns, on a small scale, how a soldier works, how to handle a riiie, and the manual of arms. He also learns movements, and dress parade is-praetieedeverafdrirll morning.-fliheemost-important-thingaiboy obtains is disciplinewf In competitive drilling, at the April Cadet Ball, Company D of Deering was first, Company C of Portland, second, and Company F of Deering, third. The Deering Battal- ion also won first honors. The winning company, captained by Stanley james, jr., was presented the Caldwell Post, American Legion trophy, and the Deering battalion com- mander, Major Robert Christianson received the Andrews Post trophy. Corp. Frank Hodgdon of Deering received an award from the DAR as the yearis outstanding cadet. Capt. Donald Hobbs of Deering received Major Palmer's award as the best Ofiicer. The officers play an important part in the Cadets. The officers this year were as follows: ROBERT CHRISTIANSON FRANK BRUTON DONALD HOBBS STANLEY JAMES ROBERT WOOD RUSSELL CHADWICK RICHARD TALLINI HOWARD PETERSON 1201 Major Regimental Adjutant C aptain-Company Captain-Company Captain-Company M a joris Stay? M ajoris S tajf Battalion Adjutant GIRL CADET S The Girl Cadets organized in February of 1940, but they did not start drilling until March. Under the leadership of Col. Palmer this organization has been very successful. Usher- ing at graduation, teacher's convention, and parading are only a few of the useful things which the Girl Cadets have done. Oflicers: Major ARLENE MERRILL Battalion Staff LILLY GOULD, HELEN COOPER, PAT PATTERSON, BARBARA GORDON Captains JACQUELINE KIMBALL, LUCILLE SAVAGE, NINA MEANS Lieutenants Francesca Walsh, Myrtle Lucas, Margaret Beecher, Polly Warren, Romaine Littlefield, Peggy Fox, Winona Swan, Mildred Casey, Marjorie Blanchard, Dorothy Hughes, Helen Ahern, Madelyn Stover, Gloria Hatcher, Barbara Harris, Ruth Hamlin, Katheryn Flaherty, Virginia Malia, and Bertha Bonney T211 CHEERLEADING Popping up with a new cheer at nearly every game, this year's cheerleading squad will be remembered for the fact that some new cheers were introduced in Deering through their guidance, and because it was the largest squad ever to represent the school. Decked in jackets which spelled D-E-E-R-I-N-G, the cheerleaders were Billy Lucas, Stanley Sylvester, Robert Blake, and Dick Dwelley who will form the nucleus of next year's squad, and Don Larrabee, 'i?Chuck?3fWood,YWalt Howarda, and A1 Rhodes, whom the group will lose by graduation. E221 THE JUNIOR RED CROSS Through the years of its existence at Deering High School, the Junior Red Cross has achieved a distinctive place among the school activities. At Thanksgiving and Christmas time baskets of food and toys were given to needy families. This year, as a new institution, the Club has adopted the Good Will Farm at Hinckley, Maine. Funds were raised through enrollment of members and the sale of Deering stickers and the proceeds of a dance given by the Junior Red Cross and the Riding Club. STANTAKI CAMP FIRE GROUP The Stantaki Camp Fire Group held its weekly business meetings on Monday morn- ing under the direction of Miss Sara Cowan. The annual Christmas party was held at the home of Mrs. Wing. After a talk by Mrs. Donald M. Payson, we discussed welfare work. The group sent baskets to a needy family at Thanksgiving and Christmas. The girls entertained their mothers at tea on Mother's Day. The Know Your City trips were continued this year. In June, we held the annual Council Fire in the grove, at Wingsgate.

K Y V W H The barn dance this year was given with the Junior Recl Cross and was a great success.

The surrounding ter- rain is perfectly adaptecl tofskiing, andfenthusiasts clusterstherereveryfweekaendf f H E341 THE DEERING FORUM The 1940 school year marked the forming of the Deering Forum. Deering is one of the first schools in Maine to introduce this form of progressive education.

Miss Kennan was instructor until 1934, when the club was taken over by Mr. Bragdon. In 1937 the club was given up because of a lack of interest until this year, when several students asked Miss Kennan to form another. f Eachunembexgwhetherdne wishes to talceaviationgas a career, or as, a recneation enjoys the club meetings, which are never dull because of Miss Kc-:nnan's ever-present sense of . . humor 5263 WOODCARVING AND ARCHERY CLUBS These clubs, piloted by the Skipper Frank W. P. Bailey, are open to all Deeringites who are interested in wood-working, leather-working, metal-working, and the age-old sport of archery.

In the spring, the target is dusted oif, and the archers strive for bulls-eyes. THE TRI-Y CLUB The Tri-y Club is the high school division of the Y. W. C. A.

The team won all their games except those with the strong South Portland sextet. High scorers for the year were co-captains Joyce Trott and Shirley Beal, and Ruth Carter who played the regular forward position, while Arlene Thurlow, Winnie Smith, Mary Ann Murphy, Beverley Beg, and Barbarazcoldthvyait fillecl the guard positions. E421 .A .L fi in BOYS' TENNIS Five veterans were among those who greeted Coach Byron Mitchell for spring tennis. Forming the nucleus of the 1941 squad were Anthony Pelletier, Henry Larrabee, Ed Jordan, Thomas Howarth, and Robert Thoits. Two dozen underclassmen spent spring afternoons in concentrated practice with a view toward the fall schedule. Few matches were played during the spring months, the majority of the time being spent in practice under Coach Mitchell's watchful eye. A number of the Deering boys were to enter the Southwestern Maine tournament this spring. Thomas Howarth carried off tennis honors in the fall by clinching the singles tourna- ment, with Bobby Thoits, runner-up. GIRLS' TENNIS Deering girls thought that they knew what the results of the fall tennis tournament would be before it even started but two newcomers upset the scores and won the tourna- ment. Helen Etheze swept the Senior field while her younger sister, Margaret, out- stroked the Juniors. Eleanor McGillicuddy and Norma Sparkman were victors in the Sophomore and Freshman tourneys. Spring prospects include the fall class winners: Viola Everett, Viola Wilson, Patricia Webster, Joyce Trott, Dorothy Galli, Alice Shaw, Elinor I-Iodglcins, Cora Ailcens, Ruth Wyman, Barbara Goldthwaite, Helen Cooper, and Barbara Groden. i431 ' M 5441 INDOOR TRACK Deeringls only 1940-41 championship team lived up to pre-season predictions when they successfully gained a victory over their three major rivals in the 15th annual Four Cornered Track Meet. Although somewhat weakened through sickness and ineligibility in their bid for the track supremacy of greater Portland, the Harvell-Cobb aggregation managed to eke out a thrilling close victory over perennially strong South Portland. The culmination of three years of building finds such runners as Foster, Becker, Chadbourne, Springer and R. Davis, heading the pack, while next yearis team will depend upon Springer, Bradley, Davis, and Ricker as their most consistent point-winners. OUTDOOR TRACK SCHEDULE 1941 April 26 South Portland at Deering May 3 University of New Hampshire Frosh, away May 10 University of New Hampshire Interscholastics, away May 14 Bowdoin Frosh-Portland-South Portland-Deering at Bowdoin May 17 Maine Frosh-Lewiston-Deering, away May 21 Bates Frosh-Edward Little-Deering, away May 24 Colby Frosh, away May 31 State Interscholastics CROSS COUNTRY After dropping their first meet to Portland by a decisive score, Buck I-Iarvell's fall tracksters got their second wind and raced on to win over Bridgton Academy and the Bates Freshmen, while they lost their encounter with the Bowdoin yearlings by only a point. Easily, the prime factor in the marked improvement was the up-and-coming per- formance of freshman Eddy MacDonald. The season ended with a commendable perform- ance in the Bates Inter-scholastics where the team gained sixth place in a field of eleven. A '53 ' - ' ' W, f I 45 1 GIRLS' SWIMMING l After a year's lapse in which Deering saw no girls' swimming team, the once popular organization was revived again this year and attracted a membership which exceeded forty by the close of the season. The club met Thursday afternoons at the Boys, Club pool for recreational purposes. No meets with other girls' squads were arranged this year. Dorothy Hamlin was faculty adviser. LACROSSE SQUAD t 46 3 BOYS' SWIMMING The swimming team didn't fare too well this year, winning only the two meets with Lewiston. The outstanding performance was turned in by Bobby Blake who set a new league record of 2:30 3f5 for the 220 free-style. Captain Don Hobbs turned in some ex- cellent performances in diving. Norman Garsoe and Bob Bulger, our Texas boy, both consistent point winners all year, each placed third in his respective event in the state meet. George Kern, Vlfarren Bowe, and Franklin Calderwoocl all turned in good races during the season. The lettermen were Captain Don Hobbs, Bobby Blake, George Kern, Franklin Calderwood, Norman Garsoe, Bob Bulger, Widgery Thomas, Warren Bowe, and Manager Don Wood. i i471 FIELD HOCKEY TEAM Captained by Harriet Lothrop, coached for the second year by Miss Dorothy Hamlin, the girls' field hockey team had an ultra successful season, losing only to the alumnae, and Wilton. Games with Bridgton and WaynHete and a return game with Wilton were won, largely through the eHorts of high scorers, Joyce Trott and Barb Goldthwait. Starters on the 1940-41 squad were: Joyce Trott, center forward, Barbara Goldthwait, right inner, Winnifred Smith, left inner, Barbara Gorden, right wing, Ruby Spark- man and Viola Everett, alternating at left wing, Ruth Carter, center half, Willena Col- bath, right half, Thelma Nisbet, left half, Harriet Lothrop, right fullback, Alice Knotts, left fullback, and Barbara Gordon, goalie. . i481 SPORTS CALENDAR The Deering High School sports schedule started off well with a football team which, although they can not boast of quite such a record as last year's aggregation, still, had a more versatile and potent offense. Buck Harvell's cross-country team negotiated a successful season and managed to un- cover a coming star in Eddy MacDonald. Although they can not claim many wins the Cottrell-quintet put up some good fights on the mid-winter courts. Even though they had some impressive stars the D. H. S. mermen were dunlced into the losing column enough to prevent them from achieving any very outstanding record. Deering's most successful team was found in the Harvell-Cobb traclc cluster which polished off the four-cornered meet as expected and so gained the championship of greater Portland. Looking now towards Spring, Deering's best hopes seem to lie with a strong outdoor track team although the baseball team should furnish some good games for the fans, while the boys' tennis squad faces a hard season with only a handful of veterans. E491 SUPERLATIVE CONTEST STORY Why quizzers grow gray hairs! The AMETHYST editors learned the answer to the age- old question fone of the answers, anywayj when they set out to conduct this year' s popu- larity poll, the first superlative poll to feature a Deering yearbook. The dingy hairs were brought on for the most part by the answers received on the circulated sheets, answers which would have sent a second grade Rschool-marmn to her grave. The title of best sport was awarded to football by one senior while Miss Stahl ran away with the Smoothest Talker cognomen. Although the editors deducted that the students knew little or noth- ing of the meanings of the words sophisticated and individualist, several of our up- per-classmen were gracious enough to insert an interrogation mark beside the names. The majority left them blank. The senior poll was twice taken in all fairness to the graduates. The results of each were homologous. Leland Muggsie Mclnnis had little trouble in snaring the Best Looking crown, and in addition, the title as Best Datef, Since good looks is all-essential in forming the perfect date, it was natural that Blossom should receive these triumphs. William Melaugh not only deservedly won the 'iClass Showoff and Biggest Bluf, nominations but waltzed away with the Best Dancer caption. 'iCarrot Top Billy Orr proved to be the logical choice as Best Sportf' as did Albert Smaha as Best Athlete. In fact, Al, starring in three major sports was five score and five votes ahead of his near- est opponent. Al also edged Harry Eddy in the voting as Class Politician. Class President, Donald Larrabee, was predicted to be the Future Success, and was named Class Gentleman, just a few points ahead of Chet Soule. In the girls' poll, Esther Germain easily carried off the Most Popular title, and gained berths also as The Cutestv and Best Date. Joyce Trott tripled her nearest op- ponentis score to gain the Best Athletei' by-name. Pat Webster scored perhaps the most complete walkaway in the tabulations as she was named BestiDressed.', Nlyrtle Lucas was termed Most Sophisticated fThe voting was noticeably slight on this onej. Mary Knight will be remembered as the Smoothest Talker in the 1941 class as a result of the poll, while Margaret Patterson stands as the Best Dancer. Ann Sims is Our Lady, and very definitely so. jean OBrion is the logical choice as Most Likely' to Succeed. And the superlative' poll, itself, has already been voted Most Interesting Feature of the AMETHYST.

This was the only class in which no one individual received more than one title in the boy's division. Claire Ashton was named best dressed in the ladies, division. Jane Frisbee was chosen most sophisticated, Martha Stone, best date and cutest, Betty Walsh, most popular, Betty Boulos, Our Lady, Nina Ingargiola, best dancer, Ruby Sparkman, best athlete, Shirley Witham, future successg and Alberta Weed, smoothest talker.

It will be interesting to see what happens next year. i531 FRE SHMAN SUPERLATIVES Our yearlings were not neglected in the novel superlative polls. In fact, perhaps more in- terest in the contest was shown in the freshman class than in any of the others. Marylan Corey copped two titles, those of best dressed and smoothest talker, Eula Patterson was named most sophisticatedg Audrey Leavitt, cutest, Shirley Corthell, most popular, Carolyn Cushman, Our Lady, Carolyn Grey, best dancer, Barbara Perry, best date, Shirley Ross, future success, and Janette Andrew, best athlete. In the male division, a certain Mr. Harold Burnham carried off three honors in being named best looking, class gentleman, and the future success. Walter Knight also was the recipient of three titles though they may or may not be considered as complimentary. Mr. Knight, the results show, is the biggest bluff, the best dancer, and the biggest showoff of the freshman class. Its best athlete, unanimously, is Keith Johnson. William Ladd was named class politician, Donald Morse, best sport, and Fred Foley, best date. EDITOR,S NOTE:--Underclassmen should watch these polls in succeeding years to see if titlists of the various classes retain their cognomens from year to year.

Our class felt a great loss, during the summer of our junior year by the sudden death of Merrill Bachelder. The Junior Class has contributed a large number of Stars in the athletic field, among them, Bob Speirs, Marty Lee, Jack Iott, Davy Andrew, Johnny Morton, Eddie Flaherty and Buddy Richardson. The girls have also taken a part in popularity, namely, Martha Stone, who has more boy friends than she can remember, Betty Walsh, who has only been with us the last two years, Betty Anderson, sometimes known as Icy , Helena Shaw, who is always either laughing or frowning, and Constance Canning and Shirley Witham, who seem glued to that honor role. Girls who have taken an active part in sports are: Ruby Sparkman, Bar- bara Goldthwaite, Viola Everett and Viola Wilson. OUR SOPHOMORE CLASS We sophomores are especially proud of our athletes among whom are Mare Win- slow, Doug Fyler, Jackie Feehan, Ed Flaherty, Bob Blake, and Dana Davis. You will recognize Mare,' Winslow, Doug Fyler, Ed Flaherty and Jackie Feehan from the var- sity basketball games this year and the latter from baseball also. The following girls participated in hockey and basketball: Betty King, Arianna Whittemore, Ruth Thurlow, Mary McAfee, Beverly Beale, and Jean Harvey. I think it should be mentioned that this class was the Hrst to be deprived of a Freshman Reception upon entering Deering High School. Mare,' Winslow, Donald Payne, Virginia Grant, and Doug Fyler, respectively, hold positions as class ofiicers. Doug Jackson was president last year. We are a musical class too, which is shown by the large number of Sophomores in the Band and Orchestra. You and I both know that we have a fine prospective class and when we-well most of us-graduate in 'Q43 , there will be memories of fine doings in Deering High School and many, grand, all-round good sports. FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY The Freshman class has this year proved itself outstanding, both scholastically and athletically. Members of the class have joined many of Deering's clubs and organizations. The honor roll has been overcrowded with Freshmen who have received all Eis. Athleti- cally, the class has produced many future stars. In lightweight football, Keith Johnson, Donald Morse, and David Morton, made names for themselves. In basketball, Sumner Gorden, Keith Johnson, Kenneth Coolidge, and Walker Irving were prominent. Edward McDonald of the Freshman Class was Deering's best miler on the championship track team. Freshman girls who proved outstanding in various helds were, Norma Sparkman, Jeanette Andrew, Nancy Fitzgerald, and Jean Miller. Freshman officers were, William Ladd, president, Nancy Fitzgerald, vice-president, Shirley Corthell, secretary, Katrina Kern, treasurer, and Joan Curran, Lee Johnson, and Robert Ripley, executive committee. As a whole, the freshman class has taken an active part in all of Deeringis activities, and many have forecast a bright future for 1941. mi i643 565 E661 f67J E683 f69 f70 E711 , an . ..

Those five-I at- tended Deering High School-should be the most cherished in our vocabularies. They rep- resent four years when we met our flrst real problems, began to enjoy life in all its reality. Just what do the five little words mean? For the applicant at a school of higher learn- ing, they mean that he will be regarded as a representative of one of the finest secondary schools in America-he will be treated with respect, his progress, watched with interest. To the applicant for a working position, they mean that his high school record, diploma, his references are merely matters of form. Both the employer and registrar hear the words Deering High School-and on hearing them gain confidence in the fact that they are at- taining the helpful presence and services of a young person who has graduated from a high school which, through a high scholastic and mental achievement standard, is placed well in front in the list of the better high schools in this country. We can rest assured-as can our future associates-that this class of 1941, Deering High School, is better prepared to face the world of complexity today than any high school graduating class in this country. 1 i741 GRADUATION PROGRAM Londonderry Air .... - Trad.

Of 83 students in the upper third of the graduating class, these were adjudged to have rendered the most service to the school, to have displayed the finest character, and to have Shown out- standing leadership. Deering has the distinction of being the number one chapter in a society which now has a membership of 2,500 schools the country over. One of six regional scholarships awarded last year in connection with the naming of society members in American high schools went to a Deering girl who is now enrolled at the University of Maine. Chosen to the National Honor Society of the 1941 graduating class of Deering High School were: FRANKLIN BARTON ALLEN LEWIS HAROLD BATTY ROBERT PAUL BRACKETT RUTH BARBARA CARTER PAUL EDWARD CHADBOURNE HARRY BARKER EDDY CLARENCE LEROY FOSTER, JR.

In the cast were: Paul Chadhourne, Pat Patterson, Madelyn Stover, Harry Eddy, Leland Mclnnis, Luther Francis, Helena Duff, Russell Chadwick, Alice Shaw, William Day, Mary Knight, Betty Beaulieu, and Robert Marcous. i771 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In September, 1937, we entered Deering with same usual humorists, Q'Dapper,' boys, and more brains than we should have had. We timidly watched the upperclassmen, but soon went into the regular routine of school life. Our Freshman year was led by Donald Larrabee. Although our Freshman Reception was one of the last, we felt it the best of Deering's quarter-century history. Short essays were given by Mary Knight on the library, Mary Robinson on History, Robert Gold- thwait on Sports, Albert Smaha on Latin, Ned I-Ianscomb, science. Cushing Strout showed skill and professional technique in his acts of magic. Grace Goodwin and Patsy Peables highlighted the program with musical specialties. Bill Orr carried the ball for us during our Sophomore Year. Here we stopped being hero-worshippers and began to formulate our own standards. A1 Smaha, Moe Densmore, and Bill Orr began their athletic reign. Our Junior year was ably piloted by A1 Smaha. The Junior Prom, thanks to Esther Germain et al, was a udecorativea' success, as well as financially to our credit. Bob Gold- thwait proved himself a natural in the Dramatic Club Play, and we began to come into our own. Donald Larrabee was again our captain this year. A1 Smaha starred in three major sports. Muggsie McInnis proved a sensational actor in both Dramatic and Class Plays and our track team, strengthened in the senior division, captured the four-cornered meet. Ram-Blings, a bi-monthly school paper was born, and school spirit in Deering began to rise. Q A' 'N 1 9 ,- ' 'MW x lla-.gf Q 53- ,,,.. , .,.,,., J - 1-639-.

To wit: Item Item Item Item: Item Item Item: Item Item Item Item Item: Item Item: Item Item: Item: Joyce Trott leaves an empty void to Bob Goldthwait, and her athletic supremacy to his sister, Barbara. D. Elaine Corbin and Mildred Smith do jointly give and bequeath their crib notes to William Prouty. Robert Brackett wills his inordinate shyness of the fairer sex to Norton Nevels. Bill Melaugh bestows upon Dik Dwelley the shoes he has thus far so admirably filled as the 'QBiggest Bluff. Mary Knight leaves U. of M. House Parties-but not Lloyd Quint-to Helena Shaw. Madelyn Stover, Deering's stage-wife, leaves this honourable position to be filled by serene Ann Kimball. The three Seniors who missed the bus from the Bates Exhibition do hereby give and bestow upon their fourth, Margery McCubrey, the hope that she can find someone else to miss busses with in '42, Patricia Webster leaves her taste in clothes to Claire Ashton. Bob Thomas bestows-with regrets-Claire Ashton upon Bruce Alden. Donald Larrabee and Jean OBrion do hereby bequeath the AMETHYST and Ram- Blings to the ones who get there first. John Blanchard leaves the office bench to john Blanchard. Esther Germain leaves a string of broken hearts in trust for future reference. Muggs Mclnnis bequeaths that Phil Harris wave in his hair to anyone who can find the right address. Alvin Littlefield bestows any interest he may have had in Westbrook Junior on Edward Jordan. Ann Simms bequeaths to Nancy Schroeder her quiet charm and dignity. Albert Smaha leaves the D. H. S. Football team to Bill Orr. Barbara Robinson wills to Betty Walsh her curious habit of shrieking. And finally we do bequeath unto you, O Class of 1942, the following rather moth-eate11 collection of trivia. To wit: Item: Item: Item: Item: An opus entitled Blossom's in the Dusti'-because of the number of times Mc- Innis got mentioned in the dirt column. Something called 'QGeorge Washington Slept Here -to be left on the office bench because everybody else seems to have slept there anyway. A motion picture to be called Dr. Kildare Comes to Deeringv-because we think that school spirit needs not only a shot in the arm, but a grafting of monkey glands. The best seller For Whom the Bell Tolls -for all of you that have to make out tardy cards. fiosj w 4 'g 1. Don't leave Normie out in the Cole 3. As I said before, X equals the unknown quantity 2.

These members are the Ones who shoulder the greatest responsibilities and carry the heavier burdens of a piece of work. The AMETHYST is a piece of work. It involves a year of labor, crea- tive labor which necessitates large scale future planning and the will and stamina for carrying that plan to completion. The AMETHYST staif this year had its own inner group which carried most of the work, and although the entire staff de- serves credit, there are a few who deserve special consideration. These are named on this page with an explanation for their choice: DONALD LARRABEE, JEAN OBRION for an executive sense and hearty cooperation on any piece of AMETHYST work which was assigned to them. HELENA DUEE, ANGELA PROFENNO, MAY JANE WALCH, MARGERY WOODA- MAN, for selling more AMETHYSTS than anyone else. ALICE WILLIAMS, JOSEPH SKEI-IAN, HARRY CAMPBELL, AND FRED PATTERSON for their ability in snaring over S275 in advertising money. This paid for the cover of this book. CHARLES BARNES, a Junior, for con- tributing valuable service. JANE MARSHALL, for the difficult job of collecting AMETHYST pictures. ESTHER GERMAIN, for compilation of Senior Section. DONALD LITTLE, LEWIS BATTY, for typ- ing most of AMETHYST work. WILLIAM EVERSON, for cartoons, and drawing of table of contents. CLIFFORD ROLLINS, for cover designs of this and last year's AMETHYSTS. f106J XXXXXXKF'PilX?XSXZX39SZ'.Zki APPRECIATIONS The editors of the 1941 AMETHYST wish to express their appreciation to those of the faculty who have guided the destiny of this book, first, to Linwood Elliott, the spur, the encouragement, the brains behind the 1941 book, the man who was determined to see that the AMETHYST regained its former footing, whose capacities for the unique, the original were boundless, and who spared no mental expense to make the yearbook what it is, to Mr. Stack in the photographic department, to Miss Bradbury and Miss Tyler for their aid in compiling the clubs and activity sections, to Mr. Young for his assistance in finan- cial matters, to Miss Dearborn whose typists were ever ready to do AMETHYST work, and Miss Seabury whose Art students contributed to every section of the book. We also are indebted to our advertisers who made possible the cover of the 1941 AMETHYST, to Gardner Roberts, who photographed the majority of the clubs, activities, and sports groups, to the Portland Engraving Company and its John Marshall for close and speedy cooperation, to the Gannett Publishing Company for a host of school photo- graphs which appeared in the local papers during the year, and lastly to our printers, Forest City Printing Company, headed by Walter Harmon and Earl Etter, who were consistent with constructive criticism toward a better yearbook. 5 107 3 AMETHYST BOARD CIRCULATION STAFF ADVERTISING STAFF f 10s 3 1 DEPARTED CLASSMATES Deering's class of 1941 will graduate without the presence of two of its most popu- lar classmates who entered in 1937. They are Ida Panetti, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nunzi Panetti of Woodford Street and Vincent Shevlin, son of Mrs. Bernice W. Shev-- lin of Kenwood Street. Miss Panetti's friendly attitude toward classmates and associates, her ever-present smile, and desire to help others, made her popular with everyone. She passed away in her fresh- man year. Mr. Shevlin was keenly interested in athletics, supported school events, and won a host of friends from the four classes with his broad grin, and geniality. I-Ie died in his sopho- more year. O, though oft depressed and lonely, All my fears are laid aside, If I but remember only Such as these have lived and died! 51093 51101 VE .A gm , ,f?w NNW: Q 17:3 wxx N , :X 'H ZKQJJF' N11 gl - v M 2 f 6 :gif M 4' L45 S cw QM 'Nw fx!
