Marsh and Mr. Charles W. Marshall. 2 O FOREWORD This is the pioneer issue of The GOLD BUG. It is also the pioneer class book of A. H. S. There have been no precedents to follow, no opportunities to profit by the experience of others. We have had to blaze the trail. ' 1 y The one hope throughout Was of producing a class book of which A. H. S. and 1918 could be proud. Whether or not We have succeeded remains to be seen. If our readers are satisfied, we have succeeded, and if we have succeeded We are satisfied. Owing to greatly increased costs of publishing, We have had to make The GOLD BUG smaller than We should have liked, omitting features which were highly desirable, because We could not afford the space they required. Q This is the class book of 1918, not a school annual, and we have had to confine our pages almost exclusively to things per- taining to 1918. eMany things, themselves interesting, have there- fore been omitted to make room for more timely bits. i 1 It is with the deepest regret that We had to omit pictures of the athletic teams, but we could not afford to insert them. s In closing, We Wish to thank the Olass for the Whole- hearted Way in which they have stood behind us, and to assure them that their support has been most deeply appreciated. With- out their undivided support there could have been no GOLD BUG. VVe have tried our best to make The GOLD BUG Worth While, We hope We have not tried in vain.- t THE Enrrons. , 3 OLD BUILDING l r . MR. C. W. MARSHALL The Old Building is gone now, and so is Mr. Marshall who held sway therein. The Old Building has been torn down, Mr. Marshall has moved away. - An overgrown red house. Holes in the floor. Cracks in the walls. Rats. Roll them into one and you have the Old Building. Kindness. Firmness. Generosity. Friendliness. Human- ness. Tiikeability. Roll them into one and you have Mr. Marshall. For every defect or inconvenience in the Old Building, there Was a counterbalance. 'We didn't object to being forced to use the Assembly Hall as our home room during the Freshman year. That was an honor. Architecturally, the Old Building was not beautiful. Still, it had an air of old fashioned nobility and d.ignity. This air of dignity was a great aid to mental effort, as testified by the super- excellent Work We did there. Mr. Marshall, HCharlie," was one of our most popular in- structors. Everyone liked him, and he reciprocated. Never angry at our breaks and slips, by his understanding and fatherliness he guided us along the first steps of our High School careers, and it is with the greatest satisfaction that we call to mind the joyful days spent in the Old Building. 5 B UILDING 1 .,., f. 1'.. -. , . . , 1 1 1 v ' 13111, 1 'I -.11 ,, .lxm '1. ,-.- -11 1 -1'-':1',!11. -.11-111.1 .1 ...AJ i' ,, .3.,.Av'l 1,-.

F. T. WINGATE Amherst is justly proud of hor New High School. Not only is it one of the most beautiful buildings of this college town, but also one of the most modern. Built in 1915-16, at a cost of S115,000, to replace the Old Building, it was furnished with an eye towards remedying the inconveniences caused by lack of equipment in the other building. Wlhereas the Old High School could cater only to the college pre- paratory student, the New High School can attend not only to the college prep, but also to the commercial and scientific course students. The equipment of the New Building contains a large assembly hall, well-furnished chemistry and physics laboratories, manual training, domestic science a.nd typewriting rooms. The interior color scheme is one of great beauty and simplicity. The New Building was opened in 1916. Witli its opening came Mr. WrVingate, the principal. Although here but two years, Mr. WVingate has made himself felt by his efforts to make A. H. S. a top notch school. Busy as he is, he always has time to take an interest in student activities, and through this interest those activities have benefited. I ' f g ' -.M f' ' 4 li K. if f' ' f THE SUPERINTENDENTS Our first superintendent was Mr. A. L. Hardy, and We always connect him with the thoughts of our grammar school days. In September, 1915, Mr. Hardy resigned his position as superintendent of Amherst 's schools, bringing to a close his long service of sixteen years. What he did built itself into the lives of the pupils, for Whom he Worked with sympa.thy, devotion and high ideals. Mr. Hardy has every reason to feel that his Work was Well Wrought and that he has Won great praise from both the citizens and the pupils of Amherst. Our next superintendent, Mr. Carroll R. Reed, though he remained With. us but a short time, will long be remembered. After about a year's service, Mr. Reed left us to accept the super- intendency of schools in Rockford, Ill. Although his leaving was a source of regret to us, yet what was our loss was another's gain. His successor, Mr. John D. Brooks, came to us .from Gloucester, Mass., with the desire of making our schools better by seeking to perpetuate all that was proven good. Although with dusbut a short time, he is greatly admired and respected. He is a most interesting speaker, and is an active Worker in the school organizations. V 1918 Wishes -him the best of success and happiness. 8 o- X YM io -Raym hd Q Thomas C. N i , , Q ' Caroline A.Mar5hW fhglzkli ' Lsafin ' Lafiilff Marion L.Nash A ' V fnylbh l M2 . rad I ' 4 .

'Twas on a bright and sunny day, early in September, that we made our bow to Mr. Marshall and the old High School. We fear it was a rather awed and timid salutation and we know for certain that we wasted no time in hustling up those memorable front stairs, into the ancient assembly room, which at the time looked vast enough to swallow us all. After our several bows and ties had been settled, we plucked up courage to look around. Complete segregation was there, just as in the days of old. But on our sweet and childish faces .could already be seen the ear- marks of the originality, brains and pep that distinguish us from the rest of the classes of the High School today. T The first event in which we as a class were interested was that little affair between the Freshmen and Sophomores, in which each tried to put the other down the ravine back of the building. Headed by "East" Eastman, HLeaguer" Lewis and '4Bob7' Collins, we showed plenty of punch and pluck, as the Sophomores will testify. Next, Mr. Marshall very kindly selected a pin committee for us, consisting of Hildegarde Churchill, Margaret Gallinger, Marion Thompson, Charles Burnett, Stannard Baker and Edward Lewis. The pin selected has proved very satisfactory, at least, to those who still have them. As the year went on we gained assurance slowly but surely, and our greenness took on a less vivid hue. VVe ceased to look cross-eyed at the upper classmen, and even took courage to discuss with the Sophs our right to a third, at least, of the back stairs. 29 vp 1 mf fagii' I., ,-'53, :ETF 1.4,-,pl ' H1211 -an '- 1,-1'v n f' iff . rfH.','4.1 ,V ,,- ., r L"-,U ,V ,,3.,,a 'M l fl ml. 6, ffm ,A u , r.

L NVe gave many eloquent declamations in rhetoricals, and in the spring we had proved ourselves so competent, that we were allowed to give an English exhibition. The exhibition was a great success, but far more important was the stunt done after--T wards. A minute space on the floor was cleared, someone honored us on the piano, refreshments were to be had for those desiring them, and the first social of the Amherst High School was in full swing. lVho said we weren't original? Then, too, it was during our first year that The Graphic was started. Of course they couldn't -start before. . L ' Sophoamore Officers Edward Lewis, Ohiyesa Eastman, Margaret Dickinson. The next year we had no rickety stairs to climb, thereby allowing us just so much more time to get to school and twice as much pep after we got there. NVithout a doubt, we were just as cocky as Sophomores ever were, and, true to the habit of Sopho- mores, we never happened to see the Freshmen. There was also a marked falling off in the ranks of Latin students that year. It would seem that some of us were even then aspiring for a diploma. Then, too, some adventurous Seniors flooded the Lab. above us, to see whether it would hold water, and incidentally soaked us out of our habitat. CNOTE: It didn't.j The damp- ness ensuing may have had some effect on the minds of those same Latin students. M During the winter we became more ambitious and had tryouts for a class debating team. The team was duly chosen and we enjoyed a real debate with the Juniors. The only thing that wasn't comprehensible to our young minds was the fact that the judges awarded the contest to the Juniors. Knowing us, you know that we accepted our defeat gracefully. Being before- handed, we also chose our play committee that year, thereby making sure that we got the best play possible for our money. At the close of a very lively year we said a fond farewell to our friend and teacher, Mr. Marshall, and to the Old Building. Jfimior OZ?l.C8f?'S A Edward Lewis, J. Stannard Baker, Margaret Dickinson. Junior year was exciting from the very beginning and reached its climax with the all-important Junior Play. We showed a most peculiar and unnatural desire to get back to school 81 L thatifall. Gould you blame us? WVe were now upperclassmen, and in the New Building, with Mr. Wingate, and our many friends among the teachers, we could well expect our last two years to be the most interesting. As Juniors we saw many inno-H vations, the lunch counter, new courses, socials and entertain'- ments. Four of our members gave their services to the Student Council, then in its first year, and we gave sure proof of our speedy brain power when we carried off thirteen Pro Merito pins. On the 22nd and the 23rd of March, we presented our Junior Play, HShe Stoops to Gonquerw. The performance was worthy of our reputation, and we not only cleared a neat little sum for the Seniors? big dance, but we paid for half of a very necessary curtain for our auditorium stage. Wfe ended the year with a picnic for the Seniors who were soon to leave us. Old grievances were forgotten and when at 'commencement time we saw them go out in a blaze of glory, we shed some heartfelt tears, for we knew that no longer would the plea that we were not Seniors help us out of our scrapes. Senior Ojjiccrs J. Stannard Baker, Henry Toole, Margaret Dickinson. Senior year has been packed to the brim, and our race in high school is almost run. We have, of course, taken the lead, and The Graphic, Girls' Club, and Athletic Association have felt the stimulus of our efforts. VVe have helped to organize a .French Club and the course in Military Training, we have said good-by to some of our members and have welcomed others, originated the first class book and a new graduation costume, and have walked off with the Girls' Gym Exhibition cup. Only a few weeks more and we shall be gone forever. VVe know that we leave a lot of friends, and, we hope, no enemies, and we wish the other classes the best of luck in all they may attempt. May they profit by our mistakes, and, perhaps, if they live long enough, even rival our accomplishments.

The team was formed on the com- 1 mon and came down to the school en masse. The Sophs were ready l -you know the rest, how- we jammed and pushed and panted and lost our breath, buttons and temper, how 1918 was always on the y up-hill side, and how after a week or so the feud all died down. 1 Football was always a leading sport in the high school, and we have had some good men on the team. Collins, perhaps, is foremost among them, not because of his spectacular playing, but because of his steady work. He played all four years and has probably been in more high school games than any other man in r the school. Paige and Brooks, too, are strong football men. Paige played four years and Brooks played the one year that he was with us. Chiyesa Eastman while he was in our class was a winner , in football and we lost a good man when he left. , t'Leaguer" Lewis is our best man in baseball and has done , much to make that sport successful in Amherst High School. Toole 4 1 also must be named as one of our strong men in baseball. 1 1 1 T Hockey is a dead sport in this school. WVhile it thrived we were well represented by Toole, Kenney, Garvey, and Busch. 5 Basketball is one of the most popularand best supported 1 games that we play. Collins and Kenney have played from the first and our class can be proud of the record they have made. Walsh and Burnett represent our class on the swimming team. Merton Perry was our foremost swimmer. The girls, too, had a basketball team in the season of 1916- 1917. Mary Dudley, Margaret Callinger, Rose Honnay, Helen Johnson, Catherine J oy, .

An investigating committee reported that a book could be produced at a reasonable price, and the Olass took action by electing a Board of Editors to put out the book. The GOLD BUG is now a reality. 1918 has put it over.

The reason Was that it was thought that in a large staff each one has too little to do to keep up interest. Although not exactly a member of the staff, Miss Nash did much to make The Graphic a success. VVhether her title be that of Faculty Adviser or Censor, she de-- serves Honorable Mention if not Highest Award. The Graphic as a school institution was designed to keep an available record of school events, to provide an outlet for the wit of the school, and to be the Hgoat" for aspiring young authors and authoresses. lVhether or not it accomplishes its mission may best be judged by its readers. 40 THE GIRLS' CLUB President, Esther Waugli, '18. Vice Prcsvlclcwt, Susan Paige, '19, Treasurer, Mildred Burnett, '2O. Secretary, - Hope Goodwin, '21. The purpose of the Girls' Club is to bring the girls of the school into a closer understanding with themselves and with their teachers and to promote acquaintances. Started in 1999 by Elizabeth Howleng, one of the girls, and two teachers, it has flourished ever since. Besides fuliilling its primary object, the Club is instrumental in furthering any causes likely to be advantageous to the girls. By means of its meetings and hikes, which are always well attended, the Club does this. One of the school institutions is the Girls' Club Social, for which the girls invite the boys, instead of the customary Way. - The Club has long been influential in the school, and that it may continue to be so is the Wish of all who are acquainted with it. 41 J UN IOP, PLAY. , For our Junior Play, given March twenty-second and twenty-third of our junior year, Oliver Goldsmith's UShe Stoops to Conquern was chosen. The play, based on an incident from the author 's own life, deals with a traveler who believes the house where he is spending the night is an inn, while in reality it belongs to the family which he intends to visit, and, because of his not being acquainted with the family, many embarrassing complica- tions arise but in the end all Ulive happily ever after". ' .The cast was chosen by tryouts and coached by Mr. Bow- man of Amherst College and Miss Allen. It was hard to give such a play, for scenery, footlights, and at curtain had to be pro- vided for the new high school auditorium, the better part of the funds for which had to come from the proceeds of the play. This was the first Junior Play given in the new high school, the iirst in costume, the :first given two nights, and the iirst with reserved seats. Howard Paige served as business manager and St-annard Baker as stage manager. 42 'T' -gf u iz? Y H23 I Ji l 7' CAST Mrs. Hardcastle. . . .....

Being the iirst class in old Amherst High School to have undertaken such a task, we have made our share of mistakes, and we now look wisely back upon our inexperienced days. With the realization that many coming classes will doubtless follow in our footsteps, we wish to shield them from our mistakes. Let them profit by our experience. So, with that in mind, we will give a few suggestions on how to run a class book. T In the first place, dear followers, begin early, very early. It will be well. to decide in your Junior year whether you arelgoing to have a class book or not. If so, elect your board of editors as early in your Senior year as possible. This is a necessary evil that cannot be escaped.. Don7t wait, as we did, until the last of November. B L The Editor-in-Chief, being duly elected, should immediately get to work and sic the. business manager on the trail of photo- graphers, engravers and printers. In order to get a business man- ager to do all this, a meeting of the editorial board must be called and a business manager chosen. It is well at this time to pick a publicity manager, clerk and any other special editors you may feel like wanting. You 'll have to make several changes in plans. . ,We had de- cided upon buff paper and green ink, but had to abandon the scheme because buff paper doesn't take cuts well. Don't bother with advertisements, for, on account of your small circulation, you will not get as much per page for an ad as you must pay to have it printed. r Get all your money in before you sign any contracts calling for payments. These bits of advice have been compiled by the Noble Sec- retary Qofficially, the clerkl of The GOLD BUG and have been deemed worthy to be published as beacons for the guidance of edi- torial boards to come. When it's your turn, beloved followers, to get out a class book you will have the privilege of leaving a guide like this for future classes, so be sure to take full advantage of the privilege. . 48 'Fl 'P' fa:- 9 I IS X 4 E ,., up ,X 5 1 I 11' 'AKY' Q 'Md' , 04 I 1111 f,, I E Q H 0 z -Q 'Q QZPQ 'if 'S' Q l-.Ts Nfl? .,'- P' g ff ,Lao 4 " 'Y F I G- f. ?

Hardly any other class of educated men and women receive a beginning salary so large as do the graduates of a BUSINESS COLL-EGE. Nor is this all. Few have better chances to rise-either in position or in salary. U Thousands of the leading officials in the great corporations and business houses today were once stenographers, bookkeepers or clerks in the olifice. The explanation is simple. Who would more naturally receive promotion than the man in the office whose duties give intimate inside knowledge of the methods and policies of the firm and who is brought into close daily contact with the directors of the business? The demand for trained office workers of all kinds which is urgent today must continue urgent. But the demand for TRAINED EXEOUTIVES will be even more pressing than at present, for the enormous economic losses of the war must be made good. Wliat field offers so promising an outlook to ambitious young men and women? Q DOES THIS INTEREST YOU?
