Patblludersg Club The outstanding club formed by the parents of Deering High School and Lincoln junior High School is Pathf1nders'. The main purpose of this organization is to earn money for scholarships which are presented at the end of the school year to the outstanding seniors. This year, their main feature was the presentation of John Mason Brown, a distinguished critic and author, at the City Hall. lt was through the efforts of Pathfinders' that the people of Portland were privileged to hear his lecture, '1Seeing Things. One of Pathlinders' aims has been to bring about cooperation between the faculty and the parents. They hold a meeting once a month with special programs. Pathfinclers' officers are as follows: President, Mrs. Leonard Libby, First Vice President, Mrs. Earl Hobbs, Second Vice Presi- dent, Mrs. Charles McKenney, Treasurer, Mrs. Richard Standley, Corre- sponding Secretary, Mrs. Lawrence Plowman, and Recording Secretary, Mrs. Delbert Bosworth. The faculty advisors are Miss Adelaide Briggs and Mrs. Carrie Morrison. We feel greatly indebted to the Pathfinders' Club for its unfailing efforts in the interest of Deering High School. T Baud Moltbers Club The main activities of the Deering High School Band Mothers, Club this year were held for the purpose of raising money to enable the band to attend the Spring music festivals to be held at Portsmouth, New Hamp- shire, and Lewiston, Maine, and to buy new uniforms for the entire band. The oflicers of the club consist of the following: President, Mrs. D. W. Huff, Vice President, Mrs. W. P. Libby, Secretary, Mrs. E. B. Stevens, Treasurer, Mrs. Harold Melcher. The club meets on the first Tuesday of each month at the high school. The Band Mothers' Club sponsored numerous projects and activities during the year. They were a rummage sale and dance in October, a coffee- bridge in December, the Fathers' Day Concert in January, and the annual Band Concert in March. The club has also assisted the band in organizing its own club, 'eNotes of the Futuref' Through these various projects, the Band Mothers' Club has not only raised money to aid in the festival prep- arations, and to provide new uniforms for the entire band, but has also set a precedent in band history of hard worlc which will be difficult to surpass in future years. Orobestra Moltbersg p Club The Deering Orchestra Club has a membership of forty-five made up of the mothers of the students of the orchestra. The ollicers elected for the year 1946-1947 are Mrs. Elmer R. Stevens, president, Mrs. Lawrence Kimball, vice president, Mrs. justice Murphy, secretary, Mrs. joseph Montefusco, treasurer. The meetings of this club are held on the third Tuesday of each month in room 105 in Deering High School. Many worthwhile projects have been undertaken throughout the year. Proceeds from the sale of Christmas cards and wrappings were used to help finance the trip to the Miusic Festival at Portsmouth, New Hampshire in April. In November the club sponsored a novel program of old fashioned movies held in the school auditorium. The Vesper Concert which has not been held for many years was revived this year by this active group. On january 18 the club members assisted at the annual Orchestra Con- cert and dance held at Deering High School. Their interest in music prompted this group to contribute a sum of money to the building fund for the erection of a Memorial Band Shell at South Portland.
