Now in '49, one hundred years later, we know there's still gold in thelhills- not the gold that fills coffers and leads men to murder and covet and steal-but the gold that means youth and laughter, the gold that spells happiness in dreams come true, the gold we dig, not out of dirt, but out of inspiration. This is a warning to those to whom gold means only metal. Read no further. What we picture within these pages is one golden thread from out the web of time - a golden memory of 1949.

Perry, Principal PRINCIPAUS MESSAGE TO THE STUDENTS CLASSES and homework - sports and acti- vities - declensions, formulae, equations, historical dates and rules of punctuation - election of officers, and gossip in the corri- dors H all these and much more have been the stuff of your high school education. Your parents and your teachers have worked that you might learn, have striven that you might profit, have sacrificed that you might achieve. Through it all We hope you have glimpsed the promise of American Life, too often dimly seen by young and old alike in the tumult of daily living. To maintain the promises and achievements of free speech and press, of free Worship and belief, of free education and opportunity, pause now and then to consider Whether your acts and decisions are ones of which you can be proud. As an individual and as a citizen you are pledged to strengthen and advance the best that is promised in our way of life. Do your part. Kingsley A.

H. S. Yet, they are not to be forgotten with the closing of the last classroom door for the year. For the "49"ers have left an impression, marked and sealed, upon this high school. The active spirit and force of the class of 1949 have become evident during these last three years through its participation in clubs and activities as well as in sports events. The chorus, science club, and Stu- dent Council have taken many of their members from this class. For more than half the year the Pro Merito society was active with a membership of seniors only. The debating group was made up almost entirely of "49"ers. Indeed, the class of 1949 has well earned the privilege of graduating from Amherst High School!

Page thirty CLASS OF 1950 THROUGHOUT the year, the members of the class of 1950 have proven themselves to be enthusiastic and industrious students. 50's marvelous co-operative spirit helped greatly to fill out the ranks of clubs and sports teams. Not only did its members turn out with spirit for social functions but also they showed much scholastic prowess. The French club, the cheerleaders, and the projectionists especially felt the dynamic presence of mem- bers of the class of 1950. With Mr. Swift as adviser, the class of 1950 has shown itself worthy to follow the class of 1949 into the position of seniority. Firs! Row: P. Davenport, M. Follett, R. Carey, B. Daykins, R.

S. was taken by surprise with the vim, vigor, and vitality of its freshman class. Un- der the guidance of Mr. Lacroix, the mem- bers of the class of '51 entered eagerly into the school activities - the chorus, Tri-S club, and science club, in particular.

HERES the battling crew for student rights-the future statesmen. With Miss Donely as adviser, Walt Cutler, president 3 Anne McKeeman, vice president, Shirley Mitchell, secretaryg and Ed Avery, treasurerg this group has spearheaded many progressive reforms in A. H. S. The biggest job of the council was heading the drive to support our foster child. Over one hundred dollars was taken in Josette Tag Day and more was raised in other projects. The Council meetings were largely given over to discussion of the many complaints and recommendations dropped into the Council's Suggestion Box. The old question of how much homework should we have was taken up with the teachers. Everyone is hoping that the favorable results will con- tinue. Another committee was set up to investigate the possibility of having soap dispensers put in the showers. Who says the Student Council never does anything? Fzrsl Row: P. Fellers, T. Gallagher, J.

Standing Mr Oliver adviser ASSIGNMENTS a week overdue - the editors are tearing their hair - so it's twenty-four hours toget the Graphic in shape for the printer. Despite these difficulties eight fine issues have been published this year under a new editorial system. The new system provides for three editors in- stead of the co-editor system that had been used during the past years. Editor in chief was Bob Barrett and the two News Editors were Dorothy Ann Blundell and Dwight Damon. At the W. M. L. S. P. convention last fall at the University of Massa- chusetts the 47'48 Graphic tied for top honors with Classical High's paper. The Graphic also took the editorial prize and the best make-up prize. This year's Graphic under the guidance of Mr. Oliver set as its goal the improvement of our school. It has conducted a monthly Student Council column and can point with pride at the results obtained by several of its editorials. First Row: T. Ennis, N. Madden, A. Rogers, E. Horst, C. Thacher, V.

A social and service club, it does much to bring the girls more clbsely together, thereby promoting school spirit and good friendship. fl Weekly meetings included among other activities the traditional initiation banquet in the fall and a Christmas ball. In addition there were swimming parties, roller skating, bowling, volley ball, and movies. Several song fests afforded great entertainment to the numbers. All programs were planned by Anne Wysocki, Program Chairman. A tea was given for the mothers in May and a party was held for the young brothers and sisters of members. The girls knit squares and assembled an afghan as a contribution to the Red Cross. A picnic at Look Park climaxed the year's activities. First Row. E. White, V. Bacon, L. Cooley, J. Roche, J.

Under his capable leader- ship and with the assistance of Bill J oy, vice presidentg Walt Cutler, secretary: and Dick Swift, treasurer, the Hi-Y has had a wonderful year. Six of the members attended the Older Boys' Conference at Fall River and brought back a wealth of information to help build a better Hi-Y, be- sides having at good time. The organization's basketball games, dance, and other social functions have added spice to the school life. One of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken was the support of the March of Dimes campaign. Under the direction of Mr. Gerald Haskins a house to house canvas of the town was organized. The Hi-Y meetings were especially interesting this year. Several speakers some movies, and many lively discussions have provided an attractive agenda. Of course, the annual trip and the more serious business of initi- ating the "Freshies" who will become next year's members finished the year's activities in high spirits. First Row: D. Bell, C.

Interesting pro- blem, isn't it? Under the coaching of Miss Brown, Am- herst participated in ten var- sity debates. The Varsity found it difficult to win but the future looks bright, for the Junior Varsity enjoyed an ex- cellent season. The Amherst debaters also participated in the Debate Conference held at A. I.

Romano the club was organized about mid-year. Anne McKeeman, president, Margie Hassan, vice-president, and Shirley Mitchell, secretary-treasurer, were elected the officers of the club. Meetings were of two types: general meetings for all members and special meetings for the more advanced students. Speakers, slides, and French music have made up the programs of a great many of these meetings. SCIENCE CLUB' THE newest club in Amherst High School-composed of the future Einsteins, Edisons, and .Burbanks - is the Science Club.

PROJ ECTION ISTS THE Projectionists are under the capable supervision of Mentor Swift. With his help the officers, Presideni Arthur Whitcomb, Vice- Presiderzt Edward Lyman, Secretary- lreasurer Robert Hawley, and Pro- gram-master Vincent Giannetti, have handled all difficulties with the effic- iency long associated with this service club. The club's duties consist of all vis- ual aids work carried on in the various classes, with the added responsibility of assemblies in which movies are shown. Members follow a regular duty schedule, working in groups of three ordinarily. Monthly schedules are posted and operators know long in advance when they are on duty. Their service is so smoothly carried on that faculty and students are not aware of the "work behind the scenes." Page forty-two AIR SCOUTS ggINTO the air, Junior Birdmen, in- to the air upside down - V' And so goes the old song. Please don't misinterpret the statement, for there is nothing upside-down about these air scouts, they're strictly straight and level fliers. Under the advisership of Mr. Oliver they have been studying the rudiments of such subjects as navigation, morse code, and airplane structure. Many events have supplemented an active year. Probably by far the most interesting affair was a meeting with the girl air scouts in Granby. For the first time in many years the air scouts sponsored a dance. Num- erous hikes and mountain climbing trips made up outdoor activities of interest. The officers are: Robert Heald, Squadron PiIoi,' Roy Johnson, Assistant 5 and Frank Rehorka, Scribe. Firsi Row: M.

A spring program of varied music was presented in the auditorium in May. Mr. Schuler, formerly in charge of the band and orchestra, only added voice instruction to his program this year and has been very successful in enlisting enthusiasm in this department. BAND THIS year's band is made up of both senior and junior high school members with Di- rector Schuler exerting untiring efforts to build up a keener interest in instrumental music. Judging from the enthusiasm of the members the future is bright, and another year or so should find a well prepared and large band and orchestra in the senior high school. "Pop" Schuler is aware that a successful senior high band is possible only if the beginning is made in the lower grades. Among the band members are the following senior high people: W. Cole, T. Cornish, R. Horst, W. Kennedy, S. Montgomery, A. Rogers, B. Rose, N. Sawin, and R. Wentworth.

The early season losses were attributed to this lack of experience, but great improvement in the Amherst grid machine could be noted with every game. After holding Ludlow to a scoreless tie and showing well against a heavier Palmer outfit, the Hurricanes broke into the win column with a decisive 26-O win over Orange. They continued their winning ways by trouncing South Hadley to the tune of 14-0. Stars in the backfield were Co-captains Lou Jacque and Jake Matuszko, who were ably assisted in ground-gaining by Giff Stutzman and George Cavanaugh. One of the standouts in the line was Phil Jacque, Joy's favorite target and high scorer of the team. Others who proved themselves worthy throughout the season were Pete French, Stan Kielbasa, Tom Eddy, and anchor man Walt Feldman. With a goodly number of this year's team due to return to the fold in the fall, prospects for a powerful Amherst eleven next year are extremely bright.

Davis, Coyne, Coach Williams WITH an untried turnout composed of but four veterans the Amherst High baseball team took to the field April 25 with dubious thoughts of victory. The prospects fora League Pennant were, however, favorable and as the season progressed the team showed its ability at bat and in the field to the best of its advantage. The battery consisted of Bill Joy land Bob Daleyg the only other returning letter men were Shortstop Dick Swift and Outfielder Phil Jacque. New talent was found among juniors and freshmen. In an effort to keep the tradition of winning the Hampshire League pennant the team functioned in a style that can be found only in a baseball squad from Amherst.

This was done on a competitive basis and the survivors were lucky to hold their places since all who turned out worked hard. Coach Kraus and her girls had a good season in spite of the fact that they had only one night's practice each week. On January 18 they won a double header when they met the Hopkins girls here. On February 11 they played two games at South Deerfield and on February 15 they played a double header with Orange there. They entertained the Orange girls here on the 3rd of March.

CHEERLEADERS EIGHT veterans and their newly elected members led Amherst cheering sections in this year's athletic contests. Pulchritude is not their only claim to fameg the girls have been very successful in organizing cheering sections for more effective support of the teams. They were on the job at all games and even participated in leading cheers at the small Schools Tournament in the University Cage, where they upheld the honor of Amherst High in competition with cheer groups from other schools. Newly elected this past year were Terry Ennis, junior, and Nancy Nestle and Laura White, freshmen.

There's magic in lights . . . add a light here, place a spot- light there, and your portrait takes on the appearance of real form and individuality. Your Vantine photographer knows how lighting effects can be best used .... How easily they can reflect your person- ality. Your Vantine photographer knows best how to secure the sharply etched photograph your engraver desires of the im- portant senior year .... The victories of the athletic teams. . . . The brilliance of social occasions .... The Prom . . . The plays .... The debates .... The expression of every- day life on the campus. That personalized portraits by Vantine are important is at- tested to by the fact that over 300 schools and colleges re- peatedly entrust their photographic work to Vantine.
