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.

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.
