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.

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
