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. We wish to give a word of thanks to Byron Mitchell of the faculty, who, as our class advi- sor, has managed to bring our four years at Deering to a rich ending. Louis Bova, Secretary :JN x it

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.
