NISBET Associofe Editor Advisor JACK TRACY JOHN MCCANN N N o n -..fi N' N QQ.-332 -l-heme OUR DEEIQING Emblem of the noble, And of truth and rightv The American school system is often said to be the foundation of our country's greatness. ln war or in peace the leaders of the country continually stress the point that the educational program must be raised to the highest possible standard. This year at Deering we find that our lives are patterned by the dictates of a war time America. Courses must be planned with military service in view. Physical programs must be stressed more and more. We are being equipped so that we can better fulfill our part in the struggle. This is the fourth Amethyst to be published in wartime. Three gradu- ating classes have stepped forth into an unsteady world. Their lives are being moulded by wartime principles. For the teen-aged boys of today there is only military service. For the girls there is a life of serving on the home front and of waiting for loved ones to return. As the class of T944 graduates into a troubled world we hope that they will cherish the memory of Deering. This year's graduates soon to be scat- tered over many fronts will be fighting for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We like to think that they will also be fighting for ideals of which Deering is the symbol. ln this wartime Amethyst we picture Deering emblem of the noble, and of truth and right. . 3, ARAD E. LINSCOTT Anna 'Virumque Cano, Trojae qui primur aboris Italiam falo profugus Lavinaquae venit litora . . . . D We sing of the man whose life has been devoted to this school. We sing of him who has made Latin a living language, of him whose classes have been the high-light in our school day, of him whose originality and ingenuousness have been inspirational, of him whose kindly Lui- derstanding has reached out to us all. In recognition of his years of service, of his sincere interest in us as individuals, of his inimit- able wit and humor, of his contribution to the enrichment of life, we, the Class of 1944, deem it an honor to dedicate our AMETHYST to Arad Erastus Linscott.

WIGGIN Have you noticed something new at Deering? We don't mean something tangible like the dust which never used to be there, or the empty feeling when you can't get ice cream at recess. We mean the exciting, new spirit which has at last begun to bind Deering into one closely knit group. This spirit began two years ago when Mr. Wiggin, Carl Wiggin to us, first became prin- cipal, and it has been growing ever since. You might have caught a glimtme of it at the un- usual number of rooters at the Exeter game. Mr. Wiggin was there too, cheering with the loudest of them. Last Christmas was another example. Usually, on the last day before vacation, the building is emptied in two minutes flat. But at Christmas a change came. A long line of students passed through the corridors singing carols. And even though their voices were loud and a few classes were still in session, lVlr. Wiggin and the teachers either smiled while they listened or joined in. It is a wonderful thing that came trailing in at Mir. Wigginis heelsg but it still looks a little like a stray dog. Our principal gave us our new spirit, now it's our job to Hx it up. It needs brushing, combing, and lots of pampering. And then we'll send it out to win a few blue ribbons. V XL.

For the last four years, Deering has been the only high school with a girl cadet battalion. They have performed each year at the annual Cadet Ball with the Boy Cadets from Deering High and Portland High. BOY CADETS The D. H. S. Boy Cadets began this year with an unusually large membership. Because of this, the guidance of Assistant Drill Master John Goff, now of the Merchant Marine, was very valuable. Later, on Drill Master Lt. John Langzatell's induction into the Army, Captain William Carey, on terminal leave from the Army, became the advisor. This year, as always, the Cadets drilled with the purpose of re- taining the cup won by the best battalion at the an- nual Cadet Ball.

On the other hand, it is known that grad- uates with high scholastic standing hold five to ten times their proportionate share of important positions. Ir is to give rightful acclaim to these students that the National Honor Society was formed. The society is comprised of 1,800 chapters consist- ing of 160,000 members throughout the United States. It is notable that Deering High School was the first Maine school to hold membership. To qualify for membership a student must attain high scholastic standing and prove by his school life that he has the qualities for leadership. This year twenty-six of the graduating class at Deering have won the right and distinction of wearing the emblem of the National Honor Society.

However, in spite of the heckling of upperclassmen, we soon ad- justed ourselves to the regular routine of school life. Although we were deprived of a Fresh- man Reception, we managed in one way or another to make friends with our teachers. Bill Ladd was elected our first president. Other officers were Shirley Corthell, Katrina Kern, and Nancy Fitzgerald. Our sophomore year seemed one of blissful freedom. We ceased being worshippers of up- perclassmen and began to mold some of our own. Keith Johnson piloted the class with Norma Sparkman, Eileen Feeney, and Jeanette Andrew assisting. The names of Keith Johnson, Chan- ing Hay, and Q'Dumbo Irving became familiar as outstanding athletes not to mention those of Shirley Corthell, Jeanette Andrew, Norma Sparkman, Patty Cook, and Nancy Fitzgerald. Bill Ladd, serving his second term as president, was helmsman our Junior year, assisted by Katrina Kern, Shirley Hamel, and Sally Blanchard. To our list of heroes on the fields of sports were added the names of Bill Ladd, Shirley Hamel, Teapot Tupper, Ken Coolidge, and Art Black. Not to be surpassed, in the field of dramatics, a group of Juniors led by Mahlon Chadbourne, Muriel Gee, Bob Jortberg, and Carolyn Grey, took the leading roles in the Dramatic Club play 'QEver Since Evef, Jean Miller won national recognition for her skill in the field of poetry. Many Juniors played important parts in publishing last year,s Ram-Blings and AMETHYST. Our Junior Prom was a success, both financially and socially, thanks to the officers and the executive committeemen of the class. We returned in the fall of 1943 unable to realize that the flight of time had brought us so quickly to the responsibility and excitement of the senior year. Mahlon Chadbourne took over the governmental reins of the class with the assistance of Shirley Corthell, Keith Johnson, and Louis Bove. J Our various skills were prominent in our masterful football team composed main- ly of seniors, our management of Ram-Blingiv, our participation in Ramblers' Club, and by the dramatic abilities in the production of the thrilling Melodrama The Vampire Barn with the cast of Harold Burnham, Jean Campbell, Robert Nisbet, Phyllis Keating, John Dunn, Carolyn Grey, Muriel Gee, Albert Packard, Joseph Smaha, Eleanor I-Iargadon, Shirley Russell, and Norman Lovejoy.

Among the well known boy athletes are Dana Smith, next yearis football captain, Malcolm Speirs, Norton Sawyer, and Gordon Beem. These have proven to be versatile members of our football, basketball, and baseball teams. Our girls are not to be outdone by the boys. One will find the names of Rose Maxwell, Juanita Manchester, Janet Chase, captain of next year's basketball squad, Marjorie Sawyer, and Lillian Thyng prominent in either Field Hockey or Basketball. Besides our athletes we have classmates outstanding in Deering's clubs. The Dramatic Club has produced talented actors and actresses in Paul Bragdon, Eugenia McCallum, and Richard Castner. The musical ability of the Juniors is certain as there are many members of either Band or Orchestra. Writers' Club has claimed the talents of Elizabeth Spaldings, Mary Morrill, and Paul Bragdon. A glance at the Honor Roll would reveal Juniors who are very capable in scholastic achieve- ment such as Constance Barker, Barbara Cooper, and Janice Barnstain. Also AMETHYST and Ram-Blings have found loyal support in Richard Castner, Gini Vaughn, Bill Kern, Willie Wadman, and many others. When the Ramblers Club was introduced many of the Juniors entered whole-heartedly into its affairs. Betty Cooney, Paul Clark, William Wfadman, and Virginia Cole were elected to the board with the latter two being elected officers. During our freshman year we were piloted successfully by Malcolm Speirs with Dana Smith, Constance Barker, and Davis Burnell assisting. The sophomore officers were as follows: Dana Smith, President, Harry Starbird, Anne Tracy, and William Wadman assisting. This year Harry Starbird took over the reins with Dana Smith, Vice-President, Virginia Cole, Secre- tary, and Malcolm Speirs as Treasurer. We wish to thank Mr. Ralph Young, our faculty advisor, who has done much to help us into another successful year, and who will help us to plan ahead for an eventful senior year.

A more prominent share in school activities has highlighted this past year. The dramatic talents of Doug', Duppereault, 'lPussy Burke, and 'qjoceyv Frost have been recognized by the Dramatic Club and put to good use. Remember the Thanksgiving Play and uTWelfth Night',? For the first time in many years, the sophomore officers have had something to organize and carry out. Under the able leadership of Mir. Linscott, Miss Hueston, and our president, Bill Leavitt, the Sophomore Hop was a successful venture and paved the way for a certainly suc- cessful Junior Prom next year. In football, such regulars as Tom Aceto, injured early in the season, Chet Holmes, and Bob Orr have had their place in prominence. For basketball, you will probably remember seeing Dick Gimbel, Tom Aceto, and Bob Orr. The girls have also had their field day in basketball with Helen Andrew, our sharpshooter, Millie Wright, Rita Lee, and Dot Johnson, regular members of the varsity squad. Field Hockey, a sport growing in popularity, claims such steadies as Helen Tighe, Betty Marshall and Millie Whyte. A familiar twosome in the Ski Club often seen at Stroudwater Friday afternoons are Shirley Knowles and Q'Pussy Burke. Also of the Ski Club are Skip Stevens, Carleton Greely, and Wally Anderson. Writers' Club has revealed the literary tastes of Mary Ellen Flynn and Raymond Ettinger. A plan for a reestablishment of a Debating Club was launched by Bob White. The ofhcers chosen to guide last yearls class were Bill Leavitt, Lorene Andersen, Jocelyn Frost, Eugene Wells, Helen Andrew, Priscilla Burke, and Joan Logan. This year Bill Leavitt, Pat Hansen, Lorene Andersen, Bob Orr, Priscilla Burke, Van Stevens, and Virginia Stickney have completed another successful chapter in Deering. All in all, with such events as the football games and Ramblers' Dances, the Sophomore Hop, and MY dances after the basketball games, it has been a memorable year. It's been fun, but it will be more fun! LORENE ANDERSEN, Secretary ,. J: 'x ,. Q . ,N XSAB:-f X . 4 a Q- . r '--..ff Q..

Freshman Class History On entering Deering we were somewhat taken back by some of the names given us, but we soon found that this was only the humorous way in which Freshman Classes are greeted. The boyis and girlls scholastic standing, together with their cooperation, ambition, and gen- eral interest in school activities promises a successful class in future years. The field of Sports was one of our chief interests. As the studentis aims were varied, the outcome was participation in about everything. The girls turned out in large numbers for field hockey, tennis, badminton, and archery. Football and track were popular with freshmen boys. In football, Ricky', Hall seems to have attracted much attention for his Hne playing. Henry Densmore also deserves credit for his promising action. When the basketball season started, there were many freshmen interested. Outstanding among the girl players were Susan Cottrell, Franny Munson, and Betty Amadie. In boys, basketball, Chuck McKenney, Ricky Hall, Billy Matson, Frank Goodie and Henry O'Brien did some excellent work and have excited Coach Cottrell's interest. For the first time in several years we had a Freshman Party and Dance. Most of our class- mates attended it and had a fine time, it served to make us better acquainted with each other. Judging by the space covered on the honor roll by the students of this class, there are many Future Successesi' yet to graduate. The Band and Orchestra offered many chances for our freshman musicians. Some of them are Norman Cummings, Stanley Watson, Charles Ammon, Gay Tapley, Christine Olesen, Lucille Tarr, Vaughn Twaddel and Beverly Pitman. The comedy, Elmer, was presented under the direction of Miss Crocker. The cast was as follows: Helen Bernstein, Charles Jortberg, Dorothea Davis, Nadine Finberg, Joanne Hart- ley, Phyllis Dame, Robert Pelikan, William Matson, and Gay Tapley. A nominating committee met with Mr. Stack, our class advisor, and from their nomina- tions the following oflicers were elected by the class: president, Richard Hall, vice-president, Charles Jortberg, secretary, Joanne Josslyng treasurer, Miles Farr. The executive committee consists of Bernard Larson, Susan Cottrell, and Richard Sirois. As can plainly be seen, we have had a full and busy year. Letis not stand aside while the others do the work, but let us all pitch in and do our share in giving Deering High School a class that will keep up the fine reputation this school has had in past years. JOANNE JOSSLYN, Secretary -s .- R, A N he -80 ligfk x X . N. Charles Ammann Chick,' is well-known as a hot sax player. He is socially promi- nent and possesses a unique per- sonality. Robert Burns Bobby is the outstanding ladies man of the Freshman Class. Hes been in several dramatic produc- tions and is on the track squad. Lawrence Whittemore Larry has a vascillating personal- ity and is seen at many school af- fairs. He and his drums have a reputation. Vaughn Twaddel Here's the fellow who is famous for that ear to ear grin. He plays in the band. You just can'r help feeling swell when Vaughny is around.

TIBBETTS PHYSICAL DIRECTOR Coming to Deering from I-Ioulton, Maine, in 1942, Huse N. Tibbetts, our genial director of physical education has become truly a Deeringite, both to his fellow faculty members and to the students who have had the chance of working under him. Born in Glen Cove, Mr. Tibbetts attended the University of Illinois and afterward did: graduate work at Springheld. From there he went to Houlton where he spent fourteen years as a director of physical education and coach of football, basketball, and baseball, before coming to Deering. Since he has been with us, a boys' riding club has been formed. Also Boys' swim- ming has been resumed. Last but certainly not least, he has, during his two basketball sea4 sons at Deering, produced strong Freshman teams which will prove to be of great value to the school in the next few years. Mr. Tibbetts, we commend your spirited leadership. .,.-. . ','- '.': - ,. x - ' 2: K ,.,g.- .-I - , , -.w - . . vw ' . '.--mr' ' . 54.1 -'GY wry'-:un . 'ja''-'MS-'!-f'r V'5 '.

Although they got off to rather a slow start, the fellows coached by Jack Cottrell went touchdown happy after they really warmed up. There was much speculation of this team being the strongest yet to bear the purple and white. Captained by Keith Johnson, always a threat and one of the most versatile men on the play- ing Held in this locality, the team was composed of such men as Bill Ladd, halfback, and Dana Smith, tackle who both were named to the all state team. Channy Hay took over the quarter- back spot after two years in the line and did a remarkable job. Bob Stevens filled the other backfield spot and gave the team the needed running and defensive power. The line was cen- tered by Nickie Morton who did a job comparable to any other center seen in action in spite of his size. Don Barron and Teapot Tupper with Chet Holmes in the reserve held down the guard positions. These boys, along with Lefty lVlcCrum and Dana Smith, both tackles, paved the way for backfield men. Ken Coolidge and Dumbo Irving proved to be two of the best ends in the business. A O-0 tie with Portland in the opening game and a 13-7 loss to Biddeford in the next showed our weak spots and from that time on we went great guns. Rolling over Lewiston 14-6, South Portland 26-6, Edward Little 34-0, Dover 32-0, Exeter 34-26, Thornton 32-0, and Cheverus 39-6, we were greatly surprised at the loss suffered against Portland, 21-7 on Thanksgiving Day. The win over Exeter was one of the most elating victories as the prep school boys were highly favored. It was one of the finest exhibitions of football that has been seen for many years. We have seen a great football team. This season was looked forward to by Coaches Cottrell and I-luse Tibbetts, who proved to be an invaluable aid this past year, as well as by the players. They have already begun work on the plans for next year's squad, and we may look forward to a team that will hght its hardest and be worthy of bearing the name Deering. Good luck. in '44.

His loss will be deep- ly felt. Bill Ladd Bill was an outstanding man on the oifensive. His running and passing were the strong points of Deer- ing's attack. Channing Hoy Channy moved from the line to quarterback position this year. In calling signals he proved his knowl- edge and ability. Bob Stevens Bob, a half back, was a valuable man on both the offensive and de- fensive. He could he counted on for a gain every time. David Morton Nicky filled in his brcther's shoes as center. He was a steady and energetic player. Larry McCrum Lefty was one of the hardest hit- ting tacklers at Deering. His steadiness and endurance made him a truly line player. i 1 Kenneth Coolidge Ken was outstanding on the de- fensive. He could be counted on to get his man every time. Walter Irving l 1 Dumbo , an end, was at his best ' on the offensive. He snared many passes and played a Fine blocking game. I l - Don Barron I Don, one of the huskiest boys on the team, was hard hitting and de- , pendable. Everett Tupper Teapot,', in his second year of varsity football, was as rugged and clean a guard as any in the state. VARSITY TEAM LIGHTWEIGHT SQUAD fc' -Ph' Y 'N .

BASKETBALL Starting the 1944 season with a win over Presque Isle, 29-18 the Deering High School var- sity basketball team went into a slump. Several games were then dropped to the local teams, although the games were often lost only by a slim margin. During this time the whole squad was unahle to practice, so, when the team attained full strength, the scores began to go in the purple's favor. A surprising win over Exeter Academy, 51-37, started the winning streak that enabled the basketeers to finish the season with a .500 average and to enter the Western Nlaine Tournament. Another upset, this time over Cheverus, 30-21, served to awaken sports fans in this vicinity that Deering was a power to be considered. In the Western Maine Tournament the boys led the school into the finals where they lost to Portland, 22-15. Coach Jack Cottrell and the team worked long hours to get into the best condition possible. The way they improved is shown by the results. Among those who were always giving their best was Ken Coolidge. Ken played his finest game of basketball against Cheverus, being in- strumental in their defeat, the night before he left to serve in the United States Navy. He was an able player and a good sport. Dumbo Irving was the man that usually was the high- scorer for Deering. He didn't get into action until the middle of the season. Dumbo was quick on the rebounds and had an eagle eye. One of the best defense men seen around this section was Keith Johnson. He would always get that ball at the crucial time. A newcomer to Deer- ing this year, Tommy Goodie, was a very valuable man on the court at all times. He knew his basketball when he came to school and had a sharp shooting eye to help. Gordon Beem was hailed as the most improved player on the Deering team at the close of the season. He was a good shot and developed into one of our best Hoot men. Malcolm Speirs was always dependable for a steady and heads-up game. Norton Sawyer proved to be a smooth ball handler and to have the necessary fight to get in and win. These boys will form the nucleus for next year's team. Coach Huse Tibbetts developed the freshmen into a well balanced squad. They had speed, they worked well together, they could shoot. Frank Goodie, Bernard Larsen, Charles Mc- Kenney and Ricky Hall were the mainstays of this team. They played a good many games and came out with a good record. More important than the record, however, was the experience that will aid them in their varsity days. The intra-mural league, introduced last year was continued this season. Two rounds were held and the winners of these rounds played for the intra-mural championship. Winners this year were the Steamrollers. .1 X Qggizgs 4 e -.v,f+' .

Malcolm Speirs Speirs is one of those players who can always be depended on for good support and action. Bob Orr Bob, another sophomore, played varsity this year. Heill be out- standing in several years. Ken Coolidge His ableness increased during the season and he ended his last night superbly before leaving for the Navy. VARSITY BASKETBALL .

H. S., just about the last stronghold in this district. How- ever, we have had a very successful season, due mainly to Coach Harvell's efforts and the un- tiring cooperation of the boys. Buck lost some good men in the class of '45. Larry Bradley, Dan Rice, Ed Beaulieu, and Dana Davis among them. These were the fellows who made such a good showing at the Clipper relay and against the Maine Frosh. At the state meet Deering came in third among the Class A contestants. Last fall the cross country squad had a total of five meets, Traip and Lincoln Academys, Brunswick, and two meets with Portland. We won over Brunswick 20-35 and over Portland at one meet 22-33. Art Black, Bob Burns, Jack Tracy, Miles Farr, Vernor Bodwell, Ross Gray, Earl Randell, Porky Leighton, Charlie Suchanek, John Kindborn, Louis Bove, and Dick Mac- Williams, all did a swell job and got some good training. The winter season was used principally as a conditioning period for spring track. We did have one meet with Portsmouth High, whom we beat to the tune of 47-6. The winter crew' used the gym part of the time, though the outdoor track was cleared off more than once. It was at those sessions that such fellows as Bob Jortberg, Hal Burnham, Art Frothingham, Merrill Seabury, Joe Martin, Bob Simonton and most of the cross country men developed their tech- niques with 'tBuck's help. Louie Bove was the unquestioned leader of this year's team. His genial personality and sparkling humor spurred the fellows on to magnilicant efforts. Bob Becker, Vern Libby, and Hal Burnham specialized in hurdling. all three of them being very good. Bob Jortberg, Bob Simonton, Art Black, Niles Farr, jack Tracy, Bob Greenwood, and Art Frothingham practiced up on dashes. Dick Castner, this year's manager, was usually around taking attendance or otherwise making himself useful. This spring we have seven meets scheduled, among them a Clipper relay and the state meet. The fellows are all in condition and ready to go, so a very successful season may be expected. Coach Harvell is pleased with this winter's work, in general, and hopes to have as good a. season next year. 7 i 'f .-Z3 W ...Q , . . .. -.

Arthur Block Art is truly one of this year's out- standing track men. Versatile as they come, he can sprint, hurdle, jump, and otherwise distinguish himself. Louis Bove Louis has been the teamis spark- plug and leader all year long. On top of this, he is one of Buckjs ex- perienced, all-round men. Harold 'Burnhom V Hal is another hurdler who showed his talents this year. A man with good timing, he takes both low and high hurdles in his stride. Richard Costner Dick, the manager of this year's teams, has always been around when needed. In addition, heis a runner and field events man. Russell Gray Russ was out all year, as were most of the fellows. An excellent cross country man, he did justice to indoor and outdoor track as well. John Kindbom Johnnie specialized in cross coun- try this year and won his letter. Helll be one of Buck's mainstays next year. Robert Jortberg Bob has conhned his track activities to sprinting and middle' distance running. If you've ever seen him, you know than he excels at both, Vernon Libby Vern is a man to watch on those high hurdles, he also can do very well on the straightway. Robert Simonton Bob is one of Coach Harvellis best sprinters-a man who has consis- tently shown his heels to the field. ..,,,.. Wfwv 'Y TRACK TEAM CROSS COUNTRY 4 X!

BASEBALL Looking back on the successful completion of last year,s baseball season, Huse Tibbetts, our new coach, has worked hard with this year's candidates and hopes to have a repeat of last year,s Telegram League honors. Many boys were on hand for the early season prospects with Keith johnson, Bob Linscott, Dana Smith, Bill Ladd, and Channy Hay the returning veterans. Keith is an able catcher with a lot of experience. Last season he tied the league record for home runs. Bob Linscott is a smooth outhelder who can hit well. Dana Smith, a junior, is a bulwark as a pitcher. Bill Ladd is the mainstay of this year's team. ' He is known as a fireball Hrst baseman, and in an early season game showed prowess as a pitcher. Channy Hay covers any of the infield positions very well. He is also a strong hitter, and can be counted on in the pinches. With these men as sure starters, Coach Tibbetts filled out the team during the first with Irving Gerry, and Gordon Beem in the outfield, using Dana Smith in the field while he wasn't pitching. The infield was completed by Malcolm Speirs at first base, Bob Brooks at second, and Norton Sawyer at shortstop. These fellows are on their toes and are all around good ball players. Coach Tibbetts organized all the fellows who are not quite up to the varsity standards into a junior varsity squad. This squad was made up also by the freshmen as there was no fresh- man squad. A few games were played during the season, and a lot of valuable experience was gained. We say congratulations to Coach Tibbetts and the members of the squad for a successful season.

Although many of the stars will be QA! X Z - lost at graduation, there will be a good starting group next year. wi' gk , 5 ' GIRLS' FIELD HOCKEY GIRL'S BASKETBALL Girl's basketball, under the fine leadership of Captain Shirley Corthell and coaches Ruth Corthell and Florence Jensen, completed a not too suc- cessful season this year. I-Iowever, the girls energy and determination, C0111- ltined with expert playing, kept all the games close. Although the team will lose its mainstays at graduation, it is expected that Captain-elect Janet Chase will lead the girls on to a more successful season next year.

Jean Crandlemire, Patty Cook, and Barbara Cooper who won places last year in the tournament are out for tennis again. The continued difficulty with transportation makes it impossible to plan on outside competition so the girls are looking forward to a tournament among themselves. Following this they plan to have a tour- nament with the boys for both Sinoles and Doubles Championships. BOYS' TENNIS With four lettermen returning from a very suc- cessful season last year, Coach Dunfee looks for- ward to a promising year. Last spring the boys won all three of their scheduled matches beating Lewiston and Hebron. This spring Phillips, Dyer, Nisbet, and Brackett remained and many new boys came out for the team. Due to transportation difficulties, only two matches were scheduled, however, Phillips and Dyer were en- tered in the New England Qualifying Tournament.

John LaFleur was captain. Larry MacDonald, Bill Blake, Fred Lom- bard, and Lloyd Holmes specialized respectively in dashes, free style, breaststroke and backstroke. They had dual meets with Lewiston, Bowdoin, and Bruns- wick, besides the State Interscholastics at Bowdoin. CHEERLEADING Cheerleading activities during the past year have consisted for the most part of planning and execut- ing rallies and keeping school spirit high at the foot- ball and basketball games. Some of the girls served as waitresses at the football banquet. The squad consisted of Bill Wadman, Bob .lort- berg, Hope Fenderson, Nancy Foster, Charlotte Whittemore, Shirley Corthell, Patty Cook, Dick Foster, and Johnny Goff S. Miaritime Servicej. Nancy Fitzgerald and Audrey Leavitt served as al- ternates.

They are better liked than any other type of people. In his first year at Deering High, John McCann has proven that he has the personality and ability to fit in anywhere. Aside from teaching biology, he has undertaken two extra- curricular jobsg one managing the Boys' Swimming Teamg the other, serving as AMETHYST advisor. In both of these tasks he has won the admiration and friendship of students and faculty alike. ' At Deering we believe in making the yearbook a product of the students. In keeping with this theory, Mr. McCann has proved to be the ideal advisor. I-Ie has always been willing to give advice and cooperate, yet has allowed the editors freedom to make the book a true student project. . For his popularity, his cooperation and genuine interest, we of the AMETHYST staff express our thanks to Mr. McCann.

This year the AMETHYST has encountered many difficulties. Despite all these we have tried to produce a book on a par with the books of preceding years. We hope we have accomplished this aim. To the following I wish to express my appreciation: To MR. HARMON and the FOREST CITY PRINTING COMPANY, printers of this yeafs AMETHYST, for their untiring patience and understanding. To MR. MYARSHALL and the PORTLAND ENGRAVING COMPANY for their advice and friendliness. To the GANNETT PUBLISHING COMPANY for the use of action shots of major sports events. To GARDNER ROBERTS, Press Herald photographer, for his cheerfulness and willing- ness tO help at any time. To JACK TRACY, associate editor, who was always willing to tackle any job. To CAROLYN GREY, advertising manager, and all the members of her staff who col- lected more advertising this year than in any previous year. To HAROLD BURNHAM, photo editor, who worked with me all year on the exhausting job of collecting photos. X To NATE THOIMPSON, DON SPRING, TOMMY FOSTER, JACK SILINSKI, and KEN MITCHELL, student photographers, who have done a superb job on all assignments. To PHIL KEATING and MURIEL GEE who had the thankless job of writing senior writeups. To SHIRLEY CORTHELL and JEANETTE ANDREW who conducted a most successful cir- culation drive. To MARIT ANDERSEN, NATE THOMPSON, and ELLEN LEHMAN who accomplished the tedious job of collecting senior pictures. To DICK CASTNER, a junior, who has been the general handy man. He has been in- valuable this year. Q To MR. WIGGIN who has been helpful in advising us and patient in listening to our eccentric proposals. To MISS DOLLEY who supervised the collecting of Senior pictures. To MR. YOUNG, hnancial advisor, for his untiring efforts in directing hnances. To MISS PEASE who checked all Our writeups. To MISS STAHL and the members of the ofiice who were very patient and very lenient with the year book staff who continually invaded the office for tardy Slips because of 'QAMETHYST work. To MISS SEABURY and the members of the Art Department who played a major part in producing the 1944 AMETHYST. Thanks should be given not only to the artists whose work appears in the book, but also to the other members who have submitted work and given valuable advice. And last to MR. MCCANN, book advisor, who has given willingly of his time and talent to make this year book a success. To all of these I Say, Thanks,', ROBERT G.

However, all this is forgotten the day the hook comes off the press. It is to that day that the whole staff looks forward.
