CASTNER Associate EcIiTor Adviser RICHARD P. SCHONLAND, JR. JOHN MCCANN This past year has been an average year at Deering, the usual events have occurred, and a few unusual. Our lives have continued on more or less of an even keel, considering the fact that all of our high school years have been spent during a War, so that we never have had a chance to see what a normal teen-age life is like. This yearbook is just that-a record of our life in Deering High School for the Winter of 1944-1945. We've tried to include both the Work and the play, the serious and the amusing, so that in your hands rests a book that presents the true life of an American high school. We hope this tour of the halls of Deering will give you pleasant memories, so twenty years or more from 1945 you can pick this book up, glance at it, and reminiscently say, I remember when- The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do wellvg and doing Well wluatever you do, Without a thought of fame. -LONGFELLOW,S HYPERION. In the death of Miss Gladys Tilton, Deering High School has sustained a profound loss-a loss shared by her colleagues and her pupils. Her quiet unassuming manner, her willingness to serve, her unfailing patience, her sympathetic understanding, her uncomplaining resignation to the inevitable, her deep religious faith made a lasting impression in the hearts of those who knew her. It is with a feeling of gratitude for the privilege that was ours to be under her guid- ance that we, the Class of 1945, dedicate this AMETHYST to the memory of Miss Tilton. l ' Z 0 8 E-5 iff 1 S T 5 Z fx WhgTK X09 of TH? -X Sgmv Chss Juniors j -db! if X! l rash 1 s 4 N x .

Yet: it heralds the beginning of a bright future. None of us has accepted its consequences. We would not if we could. It is my hope that those of you who must meet the full impact of the struggle can realize that its necessity is temporary. Ir is my greater hope that all of you are somewhat better prepared by reason of your days among us to accept the privilege and responsibility of peace. CARLETON L. WIGGIN SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The class of 1945 is the fourth one to graduate into a world torn by the confusion and disaster of World War 11. Many of our boys were called upon to leave Deering before completing their last year, but we know that the memory of their high school days will be a constant source of pleasure to them. We entered in 1941, and, without the aid of a Freshman Reception, rapidly made a place for ourselves at Deering. Our first class president was Malcolm Speirs, who was assisted by Dana Smith, Constance Barker, and Davis Burnell. In 1942, Dana took over as president, with Harry Starbird as vice president, Anne Tracy as secretary, and Bill Wadman as treasurer. The Junior Class officers were Harry Starbird, Dana Smith, Virginia Cole, and Malcolm Speirs. Probably the most successful dance of the school year was our Junior Prom. The deco- rations, in particular, were beautiful, thanks to the artistic talents of some of our classmates. This year, Dana Smith is serving his second term as president, with Margaret St. John as vice president, Constance Barker as secretary, and Bill Kern as treasurer. When Bill left for Bowdoin, Barbara Cooper was appointed acting treasurer. Our boys and girls alike have distinguished themselves on the athletic fields. Outstanding in football, basketball, and baseball are Dana Smith, captain of the football team, Gordon Beem, our basketball captain, Malcolm Speirs, our baseball captain, Norton Sawyer, and many others. Bob Thomas and Tom Chellis are our ab-le representatives on the track team. Among our prominent girl athletes are Janet Chase, captain of the basketball team, Rose Maxwell, Marjorie Sawyer, and Frances Nourse. Other sports in which both boys and girls are active participants include archery, riding, skating, skiing, swimming, and tennis. The members of the class of 1,945 are also very well represented in all Deering's other clubs and activities. Names immediately associated with the stage include those of Paul Bragdon, David Hicks, Nelson Thompson, Robert Barlow, Richard Castner, Eugenia McCallum, Patricia Stevens, and Virginia Cole. The cast of this year's Dramatic Club Play, Ghost Wantedf, include several seniors in the leading roles. You probably all remember the mon- ster-well, it was Neal Hellman, in case you didnft recognize him. The Senior Class Play was Barrie's The Admirable Crichton, with Paul Bragdon and Mary Lou Rice taking the leads. In all, over twenty seniors took part in the play, making an exceptionally large cast. Two of our well-known authors and members of the Writers' Club are Elizabeth Spalding, whose poetry has received several awards, and Mary Morrill. Dick Castner and Paul Bragdon, assisted by many other competent seniors, have done a creditable job in turning out the AMETHYST and Ram-Blings. The job of an editor has little glory attached to it, and has become increasingly difficult with wartime restrictions. This year, also, the Student Council has been successfully put into action, thanks to the hard work of our classmates. This has long been a dream at Deering, and, although the class ahead of us did much toward drawing up a constitution, it remained for the class of 1945 to put it on a working basis. There are many talented musicians in the class of 1945, as is shown by the large number of seniors in the band, orchestra, and glee clubs. The class is also active in the Art Club and such organizations as the junior Red Cross. The commissioned officers of Boy and Girl Cadets are all seniors with three years of experience to their credit. These officers have had the job of drilling and instructing the underclassmen, and have done an excellent job, as their per- formance at the Cadet Ball showed. Not only are they well represented in Deering's activities, but the seniors have set fine scholastic records. On the honor roll appear such names as Robert Barlow, Nelson Thompson, Barbara Cooper, Janice Bernstein, Constance Barker, Gay Boggs, and many others. All in all, it has been an interesting and eventful four years. We have worked hard and played hard, and have had some unforgettable experiences. We wish to express our thanks to our faculty advisers, Mr. Ralph Young and Mr. Richard Cobb, for their valuable advice and assistance throughout our stay at Deering.

Tommy Aceto and Stan Huntley are to be co-captains of next yearis football team. Prom- inent also in football were Porky Leighton, Chet Holmes, now in the Navy, Eddie Grady, Carleton Greely, Ernest Buckley, Joe Martin, Walker Noyes, Bob Orr, and Bobby Brooks, manager. In the fall the girls' sport is hockey, and several members of the junior class have taken an active part in it. Helen Tighe, Rita Lee, Faith LaFleur, Helen Andrew and Kay Foley have been outstanding. In both boys' and girls' basketball, participation by our class has been gratifying. In the boys' field, prominent in the sport were Tommy Aceto and Bobby Orr, and for junior varsity Gene Sturgeon, Gene Wells, and Ernest Buckley. On the girls' side, some of our best players were Dot Johnson, Jocey Frost, Helen Andrew, Faith LaFleur, Eulalie Bibber, Helen Tighe, and Ginny Stickney, manager. Besides athletes, we have many juniors prominent in other fields. The talents of Jocelyn Frost and Douglas Duperrault have been added to the Dramatic Club. The ability of some of our members to debate has been shown by Marcia Hildreth, Norma Peters, Dewey Graham, Bob Leighton, Lyle Brown, and Bob White in the Debating Club. The musical talents of Joanne M'acCormack, Van Stevens, Shirley F. Johnson, Bobby Davis, Virginia White, and Billy Edes have been displayed in the band. Also, several of our members have been active in orchestra and glee club. In the ski club, Bob Leighton, Shirley Knowles, Van Stevens, Tink Burnell, and Wally Anderson have been representatives of the junior class. We have had many regulars in both boy and girl Cadets. In the Ram-Blings and AMETHYST, the literary talents of the juniors have been well-used. We have contributed our share to the Writers' Club with Raymond Ettinger as one of our representatives. Our juniors have enjoyed Hi-Loft immensely. Joan Logan served as president for the spring term this year, and did a swell job. Pat Hanson, Jane Fitzgerald, Rupert Westcott, and Carl Barker have contributed their voices to cheerleading. For artistic ability we have Janice Hogan, Priscilla Quincy, and Bob White. The honor roll is always well represented by Ann Dibblee, Deborah Johnson, Jocey Frost, Carolyn McLean, and Joanne MacCormack. During our first year at Deering High, the officers elected were as follows: Bill Leavitt, president, Lorene Andersen, vice president, Jocelyn Frost, secretary, Eugene Wells, treasurer, and helping were Joan Logan, Helen Andrew, and Priscilla Burke. We were guided through our second year by Bill Leavitt, president, Pat Hanson, vice presi- dent, Lorene Andersen, secretary, Bob Orr, treasurer, with Priscilla Burke, Van Stevens, and Virginia Stickney. This year Tommy Aceto was elected president of our class. Other officers were Jane Fitz- gerald, vice president, Bill Edes, treasurer, Millicent Wight, secretary, with executive com- mitteemen Dot Johnson, Bobby Brooks, and Bob Leighton. Some students and a few teachers have entered the services during our time at Deering, and therefore, we have been deprived of knowing some of the members of the faculty whom we might have known, had it not been for the war. Our own junior class has already con- tributed to the membership of the armed forces. This has been our year to give the Junior Prom, to which everyone always looks forward. We feel that we have been very successful in our hrst year as upperclassmen and have enjoyed it even more than last year. We thank Mr. Hawkes for his help as class adviser, and now look forward to our senior year.

It has proved itself a worthy supporter of Deering activities and has produced many fine scholars. Each one now feels that he has a definite place here, for we have spent half of our high school years and are well established in the routine. Many previously hidden talents were put to use this year. The writing abilities of Helen Bernstein, Connie Brackett, and Beverly Pitman were gained by the Writers' Club. Interested in dramatics were Nadeen Finberg, Helen Bernstein, Phyllis Dame, Joanne Hartley, and Gay Tapley, who appeared in last year's comedy Elmer. In the Glee Club one will find such sophomores as Norma Jannell, Gay Tapley, and Jeanette Haley. Many in our class have devoted much of their time to either the band or the orchestra. Some of our classmates representing us on the Student Council are Martha Webber, Norma Jannell, Joanie Redin, Frannie Munson, Marilyn Prince, Phyllis Dame, Chuck McKenney, Bernard Larsen, Kerry Shaw, and Larry Whittemore, one of the officers. Helping in the promotion of Ram-Blings were: Dottie Davis, Larry Whittemore, Helen Bernstein, and Robert Burns, while Joanie Redin, Joan Holmes, Martha Webber, Sylvia Rhodes, and Gwennie Reed assisted in the AMETHYST work. Space ought to be taken to give those hard working honor students praise for their Hne efforts, keep it up! The main interest of the majority of students was in the Feld of sports. We have many competent athletes, who, we all hope, will improve through each year. Among the boy athletes was Rickey Hall, who figured prominently in two of our major sports, football and basketball. Another was Frank Goodie, known especially for his basketball playing, Chuck McKenney and Bernard Larsen were also fine basketeers, while noted among the trackmen were Richard MacWilliams and Charlie Jortberg. The girl athletes figured just as prominently in their own groups, Elaine McFarland, Susy Cottrell, and Marilyn Prescott excelled in Held hockey, a sport of exciting action. Others found good exercise and fun in tennis, badminton, and archery. Girls' basketball, the featured sport of the winter season, claimed Susy Cottrell and Betty Baade as vital for the strength of the team. Frannie Munson, Dot Hussey, Frannie Blanchard, Marilyn Prescott, Jean and Pauline Pelletier, Betty Amadie, and Joan Caldwell proved to be valuable team-mates. In speaking of skiers, one would think of Janet Knowles, Nancy Shaw, Dorrine McMahon, Nancy Libby, Richard Sirois, Charlie Jortberg, or James Boyd. The Taming of Suei' was presented under the direction of Miss Crocker with the fol-- lowing cast: Joanne Hartley, Larry Whittemore, Elwood Beach, Nadine Finberg, Richard MacWilliams, Phyllis Dame, Dwight Reynolds, Dorrine M'cMahon, Norma McDevitt, Helen Bernstein, Nicholas Pappas, Gay Tapley, Bob Roberts, Betty Maxfield, and Margaret Foley. We salute Miss Crocker and the cast for presenting such an entertaining play! Our officers for the Freshman year were the following: president, Rickey Hall, vice presi- dent, Charles Jortbergg secretary, Joanne Josslyn, treasurer, Miles Farr, executive committee, Bernard Larsen, Susy Cottrell, and Richard Sirois. The oflicers for this year were the same with the exceptions of Nancy Libby as vice president, and Bernard Larsen as treasurer. The executive committee was Elaine McFarland, Miles Farr, and Charlie Jortberg. Jo Bowles, Joanne Josslyn, and Larry Whittemore were chosen to represent us on the Hi-Loft council. Hi-Loft certainly has an important place in our lives! We found Mr. Bailey, Sophomore Class adviser for the first time, always ready to help us. We all express our gratitude to you, Mr. Bailey. Half of our high school years have passed, but we still have another half to go.

The music was provided by our own freshman band. Two cuttings were presented, one from The Lady of the Lake, and another from The Story of a Bad Boy, as well as a gay-nineties revue. The chaperons included: Mr. Frank Stack, Dr. and Mrs. Lyseth, Mr. and Mrs. Wiggin, Mr. and Mrs. Young, Miss Mira Dolley, Miss Florence Jensen, Miss Bertha Crocker and Miss Isabelle Pease. Many of the musically inclined freshmen have been accepted by the band or orchestra. The glee clubs also have frosh members. Sports, of course, play an active part in every freshman's life. Football started early in the season, practice was six days a week, with Bobby Miller playing in the line, and Stan Ladd and Bernie Lewis playing in the backfield. They are getting good experience and coaching. Our frosh basketball team boasts players who will someday make a good varsity. Under the direction of Mr. Tibbetts, practice was held five days a week. The starting five are: Bob Simpson, center, Jack Hay and Bob Miller, guards, Allen Rowe and Dick Campbell, for- wards. These boys have played the Cheverus, Portland, and South Portland freshman teams, and Gorham, and Cape Elizabeth junior Varsity teams. They were able to cop second place in the Frosh League. So many girls turned out for basketball, that Miss Curtis regretfully had to eliminate some. The starting team contains Nancy Cottrell, joan Bennett, and Jackie Holmes, forwards, Joan Christie, Barb Strout, and Sylvia Fletcher, guards. Other good players are Nancy Knowles, Ginny Thorne, Gloria Stuart, and Pat Scott. They have played South Portland twice. The freshman boy and girl skiers are very enthusiastic about Dyke Farm. Many freshmen have gone on the recent trips to Dyke. Zooming along very nicely, with the help of the instructors, are Charlie Hildreth, Fred Webster, jackie Holmes, Jackie Kimball, and Pat Scott. Ivan Tennant, a new member of our class who came here from England, has also joined the Ski Club, as well as the Woodcarving Club. H Pat Scott and Gladys Brisse are our two outstanding swimmers. At the Bowdoin meet, both placed in several events. Skip Kimball, Charlie Hildreth, and Randall Stearns are also outstanding swimmersg Skip and Charlie swim in the relays, and Randall swims the one hundred yard freestyle. There is a beginners, tennis team in which many freshmen enrolled. Joan Bennett is the only freshman member of the advanced tennis group. We can be proud of joan for winning the tennis tournament over sophomore, junior, and senior players. The girls' bowling team bowls on Wednesday afternoons. Four of the highest scorers of the team were chosen to bowl against South Portland. Marilyn Kilpatrick, Barbara Arsenault, Nancy Blumenthal, and Joan Bennett won the match for Deering, getting thirty-one points. There are many clubs in Deering to which the freshmen belong, one of the most popular this year has been the Dramatic Club, which gained several enthusiastic freshmen. Miiss Hueston and Miss Crocker are very encouraging teachers, and with their help a group of girls presented a gay-nineties revue. This act was shown twice in Deering's Auditorium and once for the Woodfords Club. Maryanne Huston, Marilyn Kilpatrick, Margaret Booth, Janice Shane, Gladys Brisse, Priscilla Webster, and Sylvia Fletcher made up the chorus line, solos were sung by Dorothy McCann, Nancy Cottrell, and Joan Devlin. A tap solo was done by Sylvia Fletcher. An important date on the Freshman Calendar was the Freshman Class Play, called The Pampered Darling. The play, a comedy, was also enjoyed by the Sophomores, whom we invited to attend. The cast included: Robert Morrison, Pat Tibbetts, Maryanne Huston, Marilyn Kilpatrick, Nancy Mosher, Grace Cadigan, Lorraine Thomas, Eric Lundin, Brant Frost, and Bernard Lewis. The freshmen have enjoyed this yearuat Deering. We already regret that we have but three more years in which to enjoy the kind advice and friendship offered to us by the faculty and upperclassmen. We are looking forward to the day when we will be seniors, and we sincerely hope that we will be able to do as well in our jobs then as the class of 1945 is doing now. In conclusion, we wish to thank our adviser, Mr. Stack, for all that he has done for us.

This Constitution provides for a Student Council, the purpose of which shall be to advance the general welfare of the school and its students by promoting worthy ideals of: self-government among the students, citizenship, extra-curriculum activities, and to pro- vide a means for the students to decide questions concerning themselves? Under its first president, Richard Castner, the Council tried to lay a Hrm foundation, so that future councils may carry out their stated purpose in a manner which will benefit the school and its students.

LANCERS The '44-'45 chapter of the Deering High Boys, Riding Club flourished under the supervision of Ath- letic Director I-Iuse N. Tibbetts. Ton1linson's Riding School was the site of action every Monday after- noon. The group was successfully ruled by Robert Barlow, president, James Nelson, vice president, Richard Sirois, treasurer, and John Milton, secretary. The fall season of regular rides, hot-dog roasts and trail rides was enjoyed by all twenty of our members. In the only meet of the season, we sent the Blue Lancers of Portland home in bitter defeat. D. H. S. Lancers Left to Right- Doug Duperrault john Milton Robert Barlow GIRLS' RIDING CLUB This year the Deering Riding Club has a member- ship of sixty-five. With the help of Mrs. Card, the faculty adviser, there were many breakfast rides and trail rides. The annual Riding Club Dance was held in the fall. The officers elected for the year were: Margaret St. John, president, Barbara Knowles, vice president, Gwen Jones, secretary, Eugenia McCallum, treasurer, and an executive committee of four members: Janet Chase, Virginia Stickney, Nancy Conners, and Nancy Knowles. Girls' Riding Club Left to Right- Janet Chase Virginia Stickney Barbara Knowles Nancy Knowles Margaret St. John SKI CLUB The Ski Club this year boasts of more than seventy members.

Miss Cowan and her board of directors including: Lloyd Holmes, Bill Hall, Bob Blethen, Robert Bar- low, Richard Castner, Stuart Miller, Donald Sawyer, U.S.M.C., Beatrice Cram, and Barbara Knowles, have sponsored two dances. The skiing program con- sisted of classes held twice a week at Stroudwater and five trips to Dyke Farm.

Now, we are happy to say, the Club is more firmly entrenched than ever before and, under the guidance of Miss Pease, is producing some excellent manu- scripts. The best manuscripts are put together in the annual Club booklet New Leaves. The ofiicers this year are: Elizabeth Spalding, president, Paul Bragdon, vice president, and Mary Morrill, secretary-treasurer. RAM-BLINGS In 1945, Ram-Blings was proclaimed to be one of the best newspapers in several years. Left without an heir to the managing editoris job, the Ram was taken over by Paul Bragdon. This competent editor quickly whipped everything into shape. The Deering paper was published once a month from October through June. A larger spread with a great number of articles of varied interest boosted the sales this year. Staff heads included: Virginia and Nancy Vaughan, asso- ciate editors, Henry Tulcey, advertising and business manager, Barbara Cooper, circulation manager, Skip Stevens, sports editor, and Tom Foster, photographer. The faculty adviser was Miss Margaret Abbott.

The club's first president was Dick Gimble, its organizer. This year's officers are: Thomas Chellis, president, Carl Barker, vice president, Davis Burnell, secretary, and Robert Thomas, treasurer. With the aid of our adviser, Don MacLaughlin, of the YMCA, the club sponsored a paper drive and presented a service flag to the school. The club consists of twenty- five active members. TRI-Y CLUB The Tri-Y Club is an organization of the Girl Reserves which has had a successful program this year. Part of this success is due to the leadership of our adviser, Miss Farnham, and the officers, Agnes Stevens, president, Priscilla Powers, vice president, Carolyn Morgan, secretary, Louise Pratt, treasurer, and Shirley Coe, program chairman. The activities for the year included parties, dis- cussion groups, a chance for a war bond, and theatre parties.

One of the most noted was their inspiring part in the Easter Pageant, mak- ing that assembly one of the best of the year. The members of this club practice during the twenty min- ute period in the morning. The practice is long and hard, but in the end they have the satisfaction and pleasure of knowing they have presented music- at its best. A great deal of thanks and praise should go to Miss O'Brien and the members, for giving to Deering such a splendid musical organization.

They help by waiting at the counter, by aiding the cooks and dietician, and by doing many other important jobs in running our excellent cafeteria. With more and more problems in planning well- balanced meals, the staff has done an excellent and very efhcient job during this past year. Although the war has presented many difliculties, the cafeteria has at all times been able to serve us with food that is not only tasty, but with food that has a high nu- tritional value.

Projects for the year include: donations toward a piece of equipment for a local hospital, bed tables and lap boards for wounded servicemen, and a gift to our adopted institute at Hinckley, Maine. Patricia Curtis is acting president, succeeding Wil- liam Kern, with Nancy Butterheld as secretary, and William Blake as treasurer. LIBRARY STAFF Acting as assistants to Miss Gower, our school librarian, these five girls help in making our library as efficient as it is. For the greater majority of us, the act of taking out a book or getting information is very simple. These students help in making this possible by mending books, filing catalogue cards, re- placing books on the shelves, and helping in numerous other tasks. During the noon hour, and some of the morning periods, these girls act as librarians in the absence of Miss Gower.

Meetings are called whenever it is felt necessary, and various problems are discussed. The latest drill methods are observed, and many de- tails, such as uniforms, inspection rules, and military discipline are settled. Through this club, the officers are able to keep in touch with one another and ex- change ideas, thus eliminating many of the cliiiiculties which arise in such a large group. DEBATING SOCIETY Through the interest of several students and under the guidance of Miss Ring, the faculty adviser, a meeting was held to reorganize the Debating Society early in the year. Ofhcers were elected: president, Paul Bragdong vice president, Robert White, secre- tary and treasurer, joan Cate, program chairman, Edward D. Graham, who is also club representative to the Student Council, and Marcia I-Iildreth. In addi- tion to regular discussions, the club has participated in two major interscholastic debates, one at Bowdoin College in which Deering Won second place, and the other, a practice debate, at Portland High School. Debating four times in this latter tournament, Deer- ing carried off three honors. l Officers' Club Left to Right- Richard Schonland Priscilla Norris Nelson Thompson Constance Barker Faculty Advisers Left to Riglvl- Frank Bailey Julia Seabury Sara Cowan Charlotte Card Richard Cobb Frank Stack Frances Hueston Arloene Farnham Isabelle Pease Bertha Crocker Mira Dolley Elizabeth Ring Katherine O,Brien Clinton Graffam Joseph Gaudreau FACULTY ADVISERS Perhaps in all of Deering, there is no group of people who do more work and get less credit than the advisers of the various classes and organizations. They work long, tiring hours to help make our four years' stay at Deering a pleasant, profitable, and en- joyable one. To them goes much of the credit for the extensive extra-curricular program of our school. What would the freshmen do without Mr. Stack, the Dramatic Club without Miss Hueston, or any of the girls with- out Miss Dolley? It is to these hard working and kind hearted people that our sincere thanks go for adding so much to our school life. MR. OCHAMPAUGH With regret after thirty years of teaching at Deer- ing High School, Mr. Ochampaugh leaves us this June. To those of us who have known him, we feel that he has been a great inspiration for the furthering of our education. His sincerity and willingness to help will be greatly missed, his cheerful and friendly way is known far and wide. Actions speak louder than words, therefore we believe that he will be suc- cessful and happy in anything he undertakes. While his retirement is looked upon with regret, it is with sincere thanks for what he has done for us that we bid him good-by. Mr. Ernest W. Ochampaugh MRS. MRS. MRS. MRS. D.H.S.

The job of coaching a winning team must lie in capable hands. Coach Jack Cottrell whipped up a combine that was to be defeated but once. The team was mostly composed of new members playing their first varsity games. They were strengthened by such veterans as Captain Dana Smith, Malcolm Speirs, and Nort Sawyer. The first game of the 1945 season was with Cheverus' Fighting Irishmen in the annual Round Robin. The Purple and White juggernaut easily rolled over the Free Streeters for a 13 to 7 win. The Rams then met the Blue of Portland High. Portland tallied first to take an early lead. The Deeringites then made a spectacular march down the field to score and kick the conversion. Portland High's Bulldogs pushed on for an extra touchdown, winning the game 13 to 7. Taking this defeat as good experience, the team, sparked by Rickey I-Iall's excellent backfield playing and Dana Smith's blocking, smothered Biddeford High to the tune of 21 to 0. On the following weekend, the Portland Stadium resounded from the cheers as the Deering eleven cut through a wavering Lewiston line. Purple substitutes went in and played a good portion of the game. Mal Speirs and Gordon Beem ran the Blue Streaks ragged with their tricky stepping. Whenever Lewiston hit the line, a stone wall made up of Bill Kern, Stan Huntley, and Dick Sorenson stopped them cold. The final score was 27 to 6 in favor of Deering. The team then took on South Portland High under the arcs. Ir was a grinding battle with stubborn opposition. Royce Miller played a steady forward game, invading the Red Riots' grounds more than once. The Capers were hurled back to a 14 to 0 defeat. Sttengthened by these victories, the Purple powerhouse took on Edward Little High under the lights. A smoothly working team sliced the Eddies' defense and offense to ribbons, rampag- ing down the field for four touchdowns. The second and third teams were used, that they might gain valuable experience. The scoreboard showed another victory for Deering, 26 to 6. The Rams traveled to Exeter Academy, New Hampshire, to play the toughest game of their season. The big prep school boys pushed for a touchdown early in the game. The Purple was slowly forced back in a punishing battle. Time and time again Chet Holmes burst through the opponent's line to stop a play before it started. Exeter's lead was eliminated when John Caminiti caught a pass behind the prepper's goal to tie up the game to a 6 to 6 finish. This tie was quite a feat because the Academy boys outweighed the Purple by many pounds per man. The Deering aggregation, recovering from the grueling battle with Exeter, met Cheverus High again. The whole team clicked as the men with the D's smashed through the line all during the game to smother Cheverus 33 -to 6. The backheld shined as its aerial playing bewildered the Cheverus eleven for Deeringls win. The following week, the Rams traveled to Thornton to take on their last tough opponent before Thanksgiving. The Purple battered their way to a touchdown in the first half. The Maroon retaliated to tie up the game 6 to 6. A see-saw battle then tested our mettle, but we came up with another tally to win the game 20 to 12. The final and most important game was the Turkey Day scrap with Deering's traditional enemy, Portland High. A capacity crowd sat in the drizzle and watched two great teams battle it out in the mud. The Purple stormed through the Blue ranks in the first half and went over for a hard-won touchdown. The Rams bucked the line for the extra point in the slimy ooze. The Bulldogs fought back and managed to force their way to a touchdown and a conversion in a thrilling last quarter. The game ended with the winner undecided, and a score of 7 to 7. Captain Dana Smith was elected to the All-State team. Other Deering men turning in fine performances were Tommy Aceto, Bobby Orr, Carl Greely, Chuck McKenney, and all the unsung heroes of the winning 1945 squad. Congratulations and many thanks to Coach -Iaybeen Cottrell and his great football team. . . .

The hoops were vibrating to the syncopated beat of bouncing leather balls. Deering graduated some fine players last year, springy Keith Johnson, Dumbo Irving, Ken Coolidge, Tom Goodie, and Sumner Gordon were lost to us. However, Norton Sawyer, Gordon Beem, Malcolm Speirs, Bob Orr, and Tom Aceto returned to the 1945 squad. The captaincy fell into the capable hands of Gordon Beem and Nort Sawyer. Coach Jack Cottrell steered the squad on to the good record of eight wins and seven losses. Rickey Hall hlled the pivot center position. Rick is a very aggressive player who helps greatly to keep the ball from the opponents' hands. Nort Sawyer is the guard with the dead-eye aim as far as baskets are concerned. He built up an impressive number of points during the season. Mal Speirs is well known for his excellent foot work. He nabs almost every rebound in his vicinity. Sparkling Gordie Beem was high scorer in many of the Rams' games. Bob Orr is another fine player, the real scrapper of the team. Tom Aceto plays fast and furiousg many times the net has swished for him. Also turning in good games this year were Frank Goodie, Bernie Larsen, Ernie Buckley, Bill Edes, and Gene Sturgeon. Normie Galli did a praise-worthy job as manager of the squad. Deering had a tough schedule this year. At the first game, the Purple defeated Cheverus by a good score. The game was slow, and several weaknesses were found in the Rams, defense. These were quickly ironed out by Coach Cottrell. The following week saw Deering pitted against the Bowdoin Junior Varsity. The Rams led all the way and easily overcame the Brunswick five. The score added up to 49 to 17. The next meet was with a strong Cony team. The score see-sawed back and forth all through the thrill packed game. Cony High overtook the Purple in the last quarter to win. The Deering quintet then hit a bad streak and lost three games, all by a few points. In the first one, South Portland's Red Riots trailed for most of the game. However, those last few baskets are what count. Deering fought its heart out to win, but the Capers held us to the close score of 41 to 38. The Rams then travelled to Exeter. There, a wild game was held. The Purple pulled ahead at the half 25 to 20. The preppers managed to tie the score at the three quarter mark. In the last few minutes, Exeter sank two baskets and a foul shot to clinch the game. The defeat by Cheverus was a big upset. The Irish were hot that night, they held an impregnable defense all through the game. Deering's spectacular passing was badly crippled by the Free Streeters. Cheverus won by a score of 22 to 11. The jinx was gone when Portland, Deering's traditional rival, was overcome by excellent playing and shooting to the tune of 34 to 29. Edward Little poured it on in the third quarter of their game to make a major threat. However, the Deeringites' stamina held out to a victory of 36 to 32. In the Lewiston and Winslow engagements, Deering triumphed again, downing both teams by a safe margin. South Portland again edged the Purple out by the very close score of 23 to 22. The Bulldogs of Portland avenged themselves when they dealt the Purple a stinging defeat, 38 to 20. In the tournament, Deering surprised everyone by tipping over Morse and South Portland. The Capers were the tourney favorites, they had trimmed us twice. Our revenge was a score of 44 to 20. In the finals, the Deeringites bowed to Portland by a score of 28 to 22. This 1945 team was made up of a great bunch of fellows, led by a fine coach, Jaybee,' Cottrell.

It is the most ancient of all athletic games, for the sport stems from the early Greek marathon races. Such events as the javelin, discus, and shot-put came from the use of weapons in some of the great wars far back in the times of the gladiators. International marathon races were revived some time ago, and track is now an important part of the life of an American high school. Coach Buck Harvell led the squad again this year with his good advice, subtle humor and adroit psychology. Last year saw practically all of our state champion team graduate, among them were Art Black, Louis Bove, Hal Burnham, Vernon Libby, Bob Becker, Russ Gray, Bob jortberg, and Jack Tracy. Thus there were few veterans left for the 1945 team. This year's squad was made up of many sophomores and juniors, as well as some seniors. Cross-country opened the season last fall. In the two and a half mile run were: Merrill Seabury, elected captain, Bob Thomas, Larry Whittemore, John Kindbom, Miles Farr, Scott Hoar, and Skip Stevens. Several meets were held. This long distance rase requires much stamina and endurance. Indoor track followed cross-country. While the snow howled outside, the Rams dashed around the indoor track. This winter interlude is really preparation for spring track. Deering's team is famous for its ability with snow scoops and shovels, for after every snow storm they can be seen industriously scraping off our outside track. Outdoor track comes in the spring and is an enlargement of the preparatory indoor season. Many field events are added, including the shot-put, javelin, high and broad jumps, pole vault, discus and hammer-throw. Some of our outstanding men in these events include Tommy Chellis, Chuck McKenney, Gene Wells, Carl Greely, Dick Sorenson, and Tommy Aceto. They all did a fine job. Carl Barker was outstanding as a high jumper, though he is very versatile, for he entered hurdles, broad jump and the 440 yard dash, too. Tommy Chellis participated in throwing the discus, javelin and shot-put, as well as running the low hurdles and broad jump. Tom was one of our highest scorers. Ben Chapman, indoor captain, excelled in all the dashes, the broad jump, and the relay. Ben's running was especially good, he is one of the highest scorers of the squad. Alan Cross ran the low hurdles and dashes very well. Larry Whittemore special- ized on hurdles. Charlie Jortberg proved to be a fine half-miler and hurdler. Merrill Seabury, John Kindbom, and Scott I-Ioar handled the mile run. Carl Greely mastered the diH:1cult hammer-throw. Dick Gimbel showed much promise as a pole vaulter. Skip Stevens, a new high jumper, came along well. Dick Saunders did a good job on the mile throughout the season. This year's managers were Dick MacWilliams, and Willy Wadman. Dick served through cross-country and indoor track, then Willy took over for the spring season. The squad didn't go to the annual state meet this year because of a government request asking schools not to use valuable transportation facilities for athletic meets. Even though the team had to miss this important event, the year was a successful one, all things considered. So hats off to Buck Harvell and Deering's hard-working trackmen! -:ez-:-:-:-:-:'.4:-.v:-.'.- fi -' 'z4:2:1:1:- 4 - :5:15.s:2:z:1:f:e:2:2:1 ' 'A-12:2:2:e:i::.::2:2:1f:1-12Aff:A:I2:Q11a5:5:z:s:2:5:5:2:z:2::.: e x ,- . f.., :St :i:2 4-1 ':2:1-1+ ''If2E5Q5E2if-1-2E2:z:s:s:s:a:5:1A '-'-: ati, . :zga,e11: ,iafagaiaiaiz IQEEEEEEEEEEEEEQ 'f , ,Q:1:1:Q ':Q:5I3:g:3:1.

V BASEBALL Baseball has always been one of Deering High's favorite sports. This year's squad was quickly whipped into shape by Coach Huse Tibbetts. Several good men graduated last year, including Keith johnson, Bob Linscott, Bill Ladd, and Channy Hay. However, Dana Smith, Nort Sawyer, Rickey Hall, and Mal Speirs returned to the 1945 team. In 1944, Deering lost her Telegram League crown to a victorious Caper outfit. This year the Rams are hghting hard to regain that honor. We sight either Dana Smith, an old standby, Rickey Hall, or Gene Wells on the pitching mound. Rick pitched last year and has a formidable number of strike-outs to his credit. Gene is a very tricky hurler who is also outstanding. Either Ed Libby or Bill Edes can be found hidden behind the mask and padding. Both are small in size, but gigantic in ability. Mal Speirs takes first base once again and excels in that very important position. Mal is rated one of the best first sackers in the city. Moving over to second base, we find Frankie Goodie, a sophomore of great athletic ability. He held down his second spot last year, too. Looking over to the third sack, either Stan Ladd or Gene Sturgeon are hopping about trying to stop a fast line drive. Stan, a freshman, filling his brother's shoes very well, also plays shortstop. He has smooth co-ordination, and is very fast at making split second decisions. Gene is the little fighting junior who's never beaten. Next we see Bob Orr in shortstop position, the hot spot of the field. Few scorchers get by his eager glove. Bob has a nice peg to first base. That finishes the infield, where, you will notice, only one of the players is a senior. The outfield is well covered by John Caminiti, Nort Sawyer, and Tom Aceto. The man in Purple snagging that would-be homer is John Caminiti. He is a very valuable man on the defense. It was Nort who just engineered that double play. He also slugs a mean bat. When Tom swats that ball, opponents' gloves seem to wither. He is a reliable player. Other players coming up are Chick Ammann, Wolf Larsen and many others. This year's schedule is comprised of sixteen games with Portland, Cheverus, South Portland, and Westbrook, and two with Lewiston. All have good clubs this year and the competition is keen. Old Man Weather seems to be making out this year's schedule. One game was postponed three times because of rain. Nevertheless, Deering took an early lead, winning the first few games played. Dana Smith hit the League's first homer. A junior varsity squad was formed with Tom Aceto as student coach. They plan to play several games with the subs of other schools. We wish success to Coach Tibbetts' fine diamond outfit, they deserve the best of luck. The 1945 baseball squad is proudly saluted by all of Deering High School. -gee? 4-'5-'ziarzieiaiaie-222-2 : 1 1112f2e212s:z:f 2 1:: . 22222 212222 :2asi2f2E2i2i2i2a2 2z:e:a2a22z f2s 2 :15225 11:1 a 255212152 -552512522-E2 1225252523522 2 .2QQag1q.,g1g-g2?2251E2aEa:z:z : .. ,52i?5:::::1:1:5:e: 2 25 3 5 . -:2225i1iQ2iiQ2255E 2: 12222322 4 1 1- 1 :1 .

They hope to have more adequate transportation and opponents for a prosperous season next fall. . GIRLS' BASKETBALL The girls' basketball team flourished this winter uncler Captain Janet Chase fwho also was elected captain of the All Telegram Leaguej, and its reputable coach, Miss Curtis. The girls won six games, lost six games, and tiecl a harcl fought one with Falmouth I-Iigh School. A number of capable girls, following Captain-elect Dorothy Johnson, expect a v1ctor1ous season next year.

Gus Phillips, the number one man on the squad, has moved to Falmouth with his younger brother who was a very promising Freshman player. We have also lost one of our best men, Bill Kern, to Bowdoin. In spite of the many difficulties of the loss of seniors and the lack of players from the other classes, we have planned a schedule of at least two matches in addition to a tournament. GIRLS' TENNIS -Because of the early arrival of spring, tennis got underway sooner than was expected. The turn-out was unusually large, and Miss Curtis, the instructor, was obliged to divide the beginners into two groups. As all the positions in the advanced and intermediate divisions were Hlled, it promises to be one of the best seasons in a long time. Although few seniors joined this year, the other three classes were very enthusiastic. Plans for a mixed doubles tournament and a singles tournament were successfully carried out.

Never be idleg if your hands cannot be usefully employed, attend to the cultivation of your mind. Always speak the truthg make few promises, live up to your engagements, when you speak to any person, look him straight in the face. Good company and good conversation are the very sinews of virtue. 'Good character is above all things else. Never listen to loose or idle conversationg you had better be poisoned in your blood than in your principles. Your character cannot be essentially injured except by your own acts. If any one should speak evil of you, let your life be so virtuous that none will believe him. Always speak and act as if in the presence of your Makerg drink no intoxicating liquorsg ever live, misfortune excepted, within your income, when you retire to bed think over what you have done during the day. Never speak lightly of any one, make no haste to be rich if you would prosper, small and steady gains give competency with tranquillity of mind. Never play any game of chanceg avoid the temptation through fear that you may not withstand it. Earn your money before you spend it. Never run in debt unless you see a way to get out of it. Never borrow, if you can possibly avoid it. Be just before you are generous. Keep yourself innocent if you would be happy. Save when you are young, to spend when you are old. Never think what you do to alleviate the sufferings of your fellow beings time or money lost. Be kind and generous, for the whole human family is depending one upon the other.

HARMON of the FOREST CITY PRINTING CO., who has worked long and tirelessly on our behalf. MR. MARSHALL of the PORTLAND ENGRAVING CO., the man who is responsible for all the cuts and engravings in our book. MR. GARDNER ROBERTS, the AMETI-IYST,S official photographer. I-Ie has patiently en- dured a lot to get the various pictures taken. THE GANNETT PUBLISHING CO., which kindly allowed us to use many of their sports action shots. MR. YOUNG, who has endured all the financial headaches, as the treasurer of the yearbook. MISS TRUE, who mimeographed many a bulletin on short notice. MISS STAHL and AILSA MACDONALD, who uncomplainingly issued more than one late slip. DICK SCHONLAND, my associate, the young man who is responsible for a good part of this book. SUE SWETT, who had charge of the Senior pictures and write-ups, and MARGARET ST. JOHN, who was responsible for all the activities. LARRY WHITTEMORE and ROSE MAXWELL, our two sports editors, who did a swell job. DAVIS BURNELL, DANA SMITH, SHIRLEY HOWARTI-I, PAT CURTIS, and all the others who turned out some of the best art work that this book has ever had. BILL PERKINS, BOB BARLOW, JAN BERNSTEIN, NANCY LIBBY, DAREEN MCMAHON, LORENE ANDERSEN, EUGENIA MCCALLUM, and the other always-ready editorial staff members, without whom this book would never have been issued. ROD MOORE, ALVIN MERSKY, MARCIA HILDRETH, and the advertising staff, who obtained many more ads than had ever before been secured. SKIP STEVENS, who has made himself useful in an all-round way. MARGIE SLOAT and MARGARET KENNEDY, who, between them, did practically all the typing. . HARRY WANING, KEN MITCHELL, GENE WILLIAM, TOM FOSTER, and the other student photographers, who used a lot of hard to-get film to very good advantage. CONNIE BARBER and GINGER COLE, and their circulation staff. MIR. MCCANN, who, I am sure, is the best yearbook adviser who ever was born. His patience and co-operativeness made him a wonderful man to work with. And finally, all the students and faculty of Deering, who have been wonderful about doing write-ups, identifying photos, and all the other jobs that must be done before a good year- book can be produced. It is to all of you that my most sincere thanks go for letting me sit back and watch the 1945 AMETHYST take shape, with only an Occasional guiding shove from me. It was a lot of fun - -- - RICHARD L.
