THE GOSSIP 33 THE LIBRARY The librarians of Dennysville High School are Joan Antone, Barbara Brown, and Irene Dudley. They check the books in and out, besides collect- ing dues and books. This year they have accessioned the books. Phyllis Rogers was the librarian the first semester. During the year seventy- five dollars was spent on books. The beautiful covers of the books attract- ed much attention, and the students eagerly awaited for their turn to check out a book. We are indeed for- tunate to have twelve or more maga- zines and a daily paper for the school. THE PEP SQUAD The cheerleaders of the Dennys- ville High School were very active at all the games. They wore black skirts and white blouses which were very attractive. They wore chokers with a D. H. S. emblem. The cheerleaders were Martha Sanford and Eleanor Leighton. They appointed Mae Mar- shall, Susan Lingley, Constance Cros- by, Helena Mahar, Elizabeth Kilby, and Ruth Crosby to assist. All the school cooperated splendidly and made a fine showing of enthusiasm at all games here. SELECTION OF RED DEVIL AS EMBLEM Everyone in the school had a choice for an emblem for the school. Many suggestions were made, and the three that had the most votes were voted for. Nearly all the votes went to the Red Devils, so the Red Devil is our school emblem. THE CROWELL-COLLIER MAGAZINE DRIVE The Crowell Publishing Company campaign was held November 7-19. All the students participated in get- ting subscriptions for magazines. The school was divided into two teams called the WAVES and the WAACS. June Kilby was captain' of the WAVES and Carolyn Marshall was captain of the WAACS. Alton Ward was manager and Ruth Crosby was as- sistant manager. All students who sold at least one subscription were treated with ice cream. The profit made on these subscriptions was used for the athletic fund.
