F 3? 2 3 J' We, the senior class of nineteen forty-four, Dedicate this annual to peace forevermore. Though we have known war-torn years, We're hoping for a future with fewer tears. The 'spring of our life has begun! Our battles are yet to be won. We are preparing to dictate the peace, So war and stirfe will forever cease. eelliobert Eberly. The 1944 Mirror is dedicated to the cause of the United Nations which are fighting for freedom and equality. The United Nations are the vanguard of the Christian Faith. They are the hope of salvation for millions. We pay tribute to the men and Women of the United Nations in their supreme effort to restore the torch of freedom to the oppressed. During this year the prayer of the subjugated peoples of the world will be answered. We optimistically look forward to the conclusion of the war. The theme We Dictate the Peace will become a reality when the United Nations overwhelm the enemy. We foresee world peace where Christian fellowship will predominate in the thoughts and actions of all men. -Eugene King.

Like an engineer Constructing a large bridge, the annual board must erect a foundation and create a passage crossing into the literary field where honors are bestowed upon those who attain the greatest heights. lt is a pleasant reminder to look over the annuals of the past with hopes of again achiev- ing the awards of the National Scholastic Press Association and the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. The literary field is open to those who have ability and journalistic training. Our high school furnishes the fundamental and basic principles for this Curriculum. Our Class is unfortunate, being one of the classes graduating during a period of war. lt has done everything possible to fulfill the requirements of an annual being published under turmoil. lt has been said, The greatest things in life were not appreciated when first brought forth, but gained their height involuntarily at a moment least expected. The l944 'lMirror will achieve its supreme power, perpetuating in its name the memory of our Class. F-Dolores Paclcler.

Our school a government? Yes. lt is an organization with democratic thinkers at its head who are preparing the students for their jobs as peacemakers and honest, upright citizens. Good citizens must be able to read, write, and think. When we become of age at twenty-one, We are given the right to vote. Along with this right comes a trust which We must fulfill to the best of our ability. We must be able to read our ballots, to mark them, and to decide who is the best quali- fied man for an office. We must support our government by paying taxes, by be- ing loyal, and by respecting our public officials. The foundation laid in the classroom makes a great im- pression upon the mind of the student. Ideas formulated in high school are usually dominant all through life. The training here is invaluable to the citizen later. The foundation for citizenship is being laid in our class- rooms now. --Marion Eberly. Page Seven DELEGATES AT OUR OWN CONFERENCE TABLE By Iohn William Selk.man ln foreign countries the ideas ot our vast public school system are unheard oi, espe- cially in totalitarian countries Where youth education is suppressed. Only those things that train the youth mentally and physically to perpetuate Warfare and to become vassals - ot the state are taught. John c. Rundeii, President We, therefore, should be proud as Amer- icans ot our excellent school system. We should realize what a privilege it is to be able to obtain an education which equips us to think and act in an intelli- gent manner. We should make a conscientious effort to obtain all the knowledge that our instructors have disseminated. Because of the present war We should realize more than ever the importance ot education. The tive men who compose the board of education are worthy of our recognition. They are, indeed, the servants ot education. By con- vening at regular intervals they discuss imminent problems and meth- ods ot teaching. They attempt to settle ditticulties that are brought to their attention and are invaluable aids to our schools. We take this opportunity to show them our appreciation. Theater Manager Dr. E. A.

Rundell, Cecil Prosser Page Eight HOME FRONT FIGHTING FORCES By Margaret Sticlcney ln spite of all the changes war has brought upon the country and its people, the educational system has changed very little. The chief difference is the doubling of the responsibilities of fewer teachers. The addition of trigonometry, a course which delves into higher mathematics, will do much for the preparation of stu- dents for higher education necessitated by the war. Our industrial arts and mechanical drawing classes have obtained a prominent place in the school system Dr, E, A, Bechfol due to the stress of factory demands for skilled labor. Retired PhYSiCi0m The commercial department provides a chance for students to start a business career. Typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping are taught, thus enabling the student to handle the typewriter, mimeograph, ditto machine, and adding machine, For the girls who wish to become better home makers, vocational home econom- ics is offered, for boys wishing to become better farmers there is vocational agricul- ture. The general course combines some of each of the others to aid the person who has not definitely selected his occupation. There are three required subjects: English, American history, and American gov- ernment. There are several subjects, electives, with which a student may fill his cur- riculum to his own liking. Credits are a necessity in high school. A student receives one credit for each sub- ject that he sucessfully completes. ln order to graduate the student needs sixteen credits. Responsibility weighs heavily upon the individual. He should be able to de- cide, with the help of the parents, the course that best satisfies his ambition for later life. Dr. I.. H. Loghry.

Shaeifer Wartime Production Imposes Staggering Demands We find ourselves today in the greatest conflict that the pages of history have thus f-ar recorded. This conflict and struggle for existence does not have any regard for the institutions that have come to be looked upon as essential, namely, the home, the church, and the school. The home and the church are institutions that have withstood the test of centuries. The school, however, is the product of recent thought and action. While it has taken several years to develop it, it is yet young and, therefore, very vulnerable. That the attack is swift and sure, relentless and destructive, is in evidence on every hand. The schools have lost many pupils because the homes have consented and because industry has insisted by offering wages that are a temptation beyond reason. Other students have joined some branch of the service, while many more are absent or truant as a result of poor home atti- tudes. Of the many thousands that have dropped out, a recent survey points out that not more and probably less than seven percent will ever return to school. The second great loss is in the teaching force. The last two years have seen'2U0,000 teachers leave the ranks of service for other types of employment. These have been replaced to the best possible advantage with former teachers and the few who have come out of the training schools. This loss of personnel cannot continue without further impairing the efficiency of the school. These losses, great and tremendous as they are, can only be corrected and helped when the aroused public begins to take positive action to correct and mend the situation, lf we are to win this conflict, if the home, the church, and the school are to continue to enjoy freedom, and l believe that the conflict will be won, it will surely be due in a great measure to the sacrifice, loyalty, cooperation, and devotion to the way of living that has been fostered and patiently nurtured in the classrooms of the schools of America. -Mr. Shaeffer. Page Ten W. A. HOWALD Administration Heidelberg AB.-Chemistry Denver AM.-School Administration Student Council Adviser Football Coach Prin. W. A. Howald Education Signs the Peace Pact A better world after the war can be brought about only through an enlightened citizenry. An enlightened citizenry can be accomplished only through education. This places a tremendous task upon the shoulders ot edu- cational institutions, and particularly upon the public school, for through the public schools alone do most of our youth pass. lt is, therefore, the responsibil- ity ot the school to give careful consideration to the planning of postwar education. The basis for this planning must be an understanding of the inadequacies ot our present day educational system. The progress ot the school in too many cases has not kept pace with the rapid changes that society has made. The academic ideals of schools in l844 are too widely accepted today. lt is necessary that our students leave school as individuals who will be able successfully to take their places in society. Proper attitudes ot honesty, reliability and industry must be developed. The responsibility of citizenship must certainly be understood. The lack ot these very attitudes was a big con- tributing factor to the social upheaval ot the '30s and the World War '4Os, consequently, in the matter of postwar planning for a new and peaceful world, education must do a large part. Future citizens ot our United States and ot our world are in the schools today, and the schools today can and must mold these citizens ot tomorrow. e-Mr. l-lowald. Page Eleven 115379 r LEON W.

Page Thirteen MISSION COMPLETED PROCEEDING ON NEW ORDERS By Robert Wilson Within the past four years two momentous events have occurred to the present Senior Class of Montpelier High School, the first being the arrival of ninety-eight timid and self-conscious youngsters in the corridors and class- rooms of the high school in 1940, and the second in l944, the graduation of fifty-seven of the orginal ninety-eight into the elevated rank of educated citi- zens. They are now inspired and made hopeful for the future by the capable instruction of the faculty and by experience itself. Some of the more pronounced events of their high school careers were their two class plays, The Missing Witness, their junior class presentation, and 'iDon't Ever Grow Up, their senior class presentation. Some other events have been the'two Iunior-Senior Proms. More consequential were the Bacca- laureate and Senior Ch-apel, and the most anticipated moment of their lives was Commencement. Thoughout these last four years this class has been es-- pecially active in athletics, music, clubs, student government and social affairs. The immediate future, at least for the boys, is apparent. There is no ques- tion as to what position they will takeg they will follow in the footsteps of former students. Pour boys from this class already have donned the khaki and blue of Uncle Sam. Several boys from the class have been sworn into the Army and Navy aviation programs and others await the call to the armed forces as soon as graduation is over. The seemingly prodigious tasks that faced them and which they surmounted in high school will be looked upon later as trivial affairs. As for the girls, some will receive college training if circumstances permit, some will take business positions in offices, and others will manage their homes. The friendships and associations formed throughout the high school career will last long after leaving Alma Mater, and the experiences unique and ex- citing which transpired during school days are among the happiest, perhaps, that will ever be known. They, as graduates, have come now to the end of their high school journey. ln their class motto, Be not simply good, be good for something, one has the formula for the future.

PRESIDENT'S COMMUNIQUE By Iames Pace We are learning, we will fight, we will make the peacel For many students formal education ends with the receiving of diplomas, these graduates are supposedly ready to handle and operate the tools of life. There is one tool in the toolbox that many seem to overlook, informal educa- tion. It is important in the why, when, wherefore, of the different actions of people. The livelihood of those who have acquired this important implement will be endangered by persons using force to gain those benefits of which they were deprived because of their lack of informal education. lt, therefore, is our duty to grasp the informal education offered to us by life in order to defeat the persons using force. We Will Fight! ln those three words the outlook of many young people is foretold. The sex of a person does not protect him from the fighting, or the death resulting from that fighting. But we will fight with Gods banner with the reverent thought in mind that we are doing the killing not for the thrill, but to establish a better, finer, and everlasting world. We will make the peacel This is not a war to end all wars as was the other World War, but the slogan, A peace to end all wars, will be our theme after this war is won. We dislike war, we all get more enjoyment out of watching a sports event than a front line battle for life or death. War brings heavy taxes and grief, and breeds hatred. Our plan for peace is not a thousand-page outline, but just a few simple words. lt must be lasting, must treat all nations alike, must not allow countries to join forces, and must make sure that We abide together as friendly, peace-loving nations.

Page Twenty-six BETTY SMITH WITH PRIDE WE PRESENT OUR QUEEN It has been the custom for many years for the seniors to select one of the girls of their class to reign as queen. This is an honor which every senior girl would like to have bestowed upon her. The queen is elected by the popular vote of the class without nomination. T he selection is not based entirely on beauty and poise, but includes popular- ity, cooperation with fellow students, and characterization of the ideals for which we are fighting. Many people possess some of these qualities, but the combination of all of them in one person is the distinction of the Senior Queen. After careful consideration of all of these requirements, without the in- fluence of personal prejudice, the class of '44 assembled in the senior room to select the girl to be queen. Miss Betty Smith attained this honor. The large majority by which she was elected indicates that she merited it. Betty always extends the same warm welcome on the street, in the classroom, or at the social function. The class of 1944 is very proud to have a beautiful and charming girl like Betty for its queen. The queen is crowned at the Senior Class Play, serves at all festal occa- sions, and reigns at the Northwestern Track Tournament. -Patricia Houk.

Page Twenty-eight VICTORY CALLS FOR THINKING MINDS Through the past eleven years we have made steady progress along the highway to the great victory of the completion of our high school education. We, the luniors, have achiev- ed much, for there is but one more year to follow the highway. . But when our thoughts wander beyond the last year, we realize that in the future there will be vast problems requiring even larger accomplishments. Our class started the year with the election of our officers: Anna Wallace, president, Bill Fleming, vice president, Bose Marie Priest, secretary, and George Yarger, treasurer. Our class has participated in athletics and other extra-curricular activities. Though there have been various school parties through the year, the most enjoyable one for us was the Valentine-Bond party at which we were guests. Our class had the honor of winning the school war bond drive by purchasing nine hundred ninety-eight dollars worth of war bonds and stamps. Q On March 22, l944, we presented our class play, Incognito, an up-to-date mystery comedy. The play was under the experienced direction of Mr. Walter Faben, who also has given the junior class invaluable assistance as class adviser. We presented the Iunior-Senior Banquet on April 28. This was our farewell gift to the senior class. The theme of the banquet was 'Suddenly lt's Spring. Several boys from our class are now in the service. We are indeed proud of them. As the battle is waged on different fighting fronts, we are endeavoring to cooperate on the home front, One of our paramount aids in winning the peace is to procure as much as we can from our educational opportunities. -Barbara Nolin.

Page Thirty SIGHTS TRAINED ON THE TARGET, AIM TRUE Through our determination and self-reliance we have advanced not only in name but in ability from freshmen to sophomores.. People everywhere are making contributions to the war effort. To do our part we are seeking all the knowledge possible to provide a foundation for the peace which will follow. Some of the extra-curricular activities, Girl Reserve, Hi-Y, F. H. A., P. F. A., Band, and Gle Club, have helped in building a better social background. The boys have had an oppor- tunity to develop physical strength by taking part in the athletic program of the school, which includes basketball, football, and track. The leaders of a class are in a large measure responsible for the success of a class. With the assistance of our adviser, Mr. Karnes, we selected our officers: Donald Butzin, president, Gerald Childers, vice president, Guy Priest, lr., secretary, and Richard Knecht, treasurer. Patricia Parnham and lohn Dwyer represent the class on the student council. Due to the war and various shortages, school activities were limited this year. The one important event of the year was the Freshman-Sophomore Class Party which was held April l4. Through the combined efforts of our advisers and selected committees to provide recrea- tion, which consisted of the grand march, dancing, and contests, everyone enjoyed the eve- ning. Other activities of the year were F. F. A.-F. H. A. parties and dances held either in the gym or in the Wagon Wheel Club. The scholastic ability of the Sophomores is shown by the fact that many of the members took scholarship tests. We can also give credit to four of our number, Dick Wilson, Don Lyon, Don Hostetler, and Dick Cotter, for contributing their music abilities to the success of our high school orchestra. -Annabelle Kumnick.

Page Thirty-two HAVE MET UPPERCLASSMEN: CONQUERED SAME Throughout the years of our elementary training we looked ahead to the higher educa- tion that we were to receive in high school. lt was with much curiosity as to what our freshman year was to bring that we looked forward to September 3, l943. At last it arrived and we entered Montpelier High School with expectation and wonderment. Our first few days were occupied in making new acquain- tances, learning the new procedures, and receiving the lively initiation from the upper class- men. We, however, soon found ourselves adjusted to the new routine of advanced studies. The election of our class officers was under the supervision of our class adviser, Mrs. Chester Bible. The following officers were selected to represent the freshman class: Milton Nolin, president, Margaret Hartman, vice president, Elanor Mocherman, secretary, and Roger Cook, treasurer. A source of entertainment was the extra-curricular activities which the freshman class joined and participated in. These organizations were the Girl Reserve, Band, P. F. A., F. H. A., and Orchestra. In the physical preparation program the boys played in the intramural basketball teams. The experience gained from playing on these teams will make improved teams in the future. Through the purchase of four hundred and eighty-six dollars worth of war bonds and X . stamps, the patriotism of our class was shown. -Milton Nolin.

Page Thirty-three -Hftet Me tht - Today, more than ever before, we have become aware of the meaning of patriotism. There is but one primary idea that pervades our thoughts, the preservation of our democracy. At first it seemed unfair that we must forsake the future we had planned for ourselves to fight a war that 'we had no part in starting. We sincerely pray that there will be no re-ason for the graduating classes of the future to make such a sacrifice as that of our class. War is cruel, war is destructive, it breeds hate and a desire for vengeance between the peoples of the fighting nations, and that may be the primary reason for the commencement of another war. There is no doubt in our minds as to the plans of the warlords. We know that we must fight or be enslaved, forsake our God to worship Adolf Hitler or, perhaps, be annihilated from the earth. And so we must bear our cross, which is the war, and fight. Fight until the warlords come to their knees, until the world once again shall be free from hunger and fear. And when the long awaited day of liberation has come, our tremendous task will have just begun, for it will be our generation that will make the peace a lasting one. It will be necessary for us to act as a guide Page Thirty-four yd r 5 'M ii. i E 1 if in-an inhu- i i mezican ay of ,fzfe to the Axis nations. We shall have to curb their greed for power and war. indeed, it is necessary to fight to win the war, but it is also necessary to fight to win the peace. True, there will be different weapons. ln the place of tanks and guns, we must arm ourselves with patience and determination. ln lieu of Mein Kampfu we must substitute the American Bill of Rights. We must guard our charges against following a Hpower crazed maniac into another bloody strife such as this has been. This will require years of labor until these nations shall once again be able to care for themselves. With this great task ahead of us we know now that there will be no slow process of growing up. Upon graduation we, the seniors, will become men and women ready to serve our country to the best of our ability and ready to bring the day of salvation closer for many lands. We pause, as at the threshold of life we st-and, uncertain as to what is to come after the final moments of school are over. But with the same courage and fortitude of the men who made America the great country she is today, we will strive to keep her that way. -Helen Merriman, Literary Editor. Page Thirty-five FRANK B.

H. S. Basketball Foundation of Freedom Is the Elementary School With the opening of the school year on September 3, 1943, the elementary school had an increased enrollment of about fifty pupils. Considering the critical shortage of teachers, we have been fortunate in retaining many of our former teachers and in securing reliable substitutes. The people of Montpelier appreciate the service of these teachers. Our school has had a very active Parent-Teacher Association this year and the organization h-as made innumerable contributions for our Welfare. Some very fine editions of the school paper, School Daze, have been published this year by the eighth grade. We have had a very successful athletic season, which ended with the Freshmen challenging the lunior High team to a game of basketball. The State Department of Visual Education and the Civilian Defense have sent us many entertaining motion pictures, This new revolutionary type of education has become a popular means of teaching in the classroom. -Mr. Altaffer.

Our activities and clubs in high school are similar to fraternities and sororities in college. These social experiences aid the pupil in securing a varied education which allows him to gain valuable knowledge in governing himself outside the classroom as well as within. This knowledge develops a student capable of choosing the right combination of pleasure and work necessary to life. For the best success of a project the worker needs some relaxation and enjoyment free from cares and worries. lt is our duty to our country to grasp as much information as our formal and informal education imparts.

During the football season the band makes regular appearances at each home game. When the lights come on, the blue and white formation is seen approaching from the far end of the field. After several colorful exhibitions, each member resumes his original position for the flag-raising ceremony. The Spring Music Festival was given April ll, under the direction of the bandmaster, Mr. D. B. Kannel, in the High School Auditorium. The opening numbers were presented by the Iunior High Band. After a duet given by Robert Wilson and Eugene King, the High School Orchestra, better known as the Rhythm Aces, played several numbers, tempering the usweet with the solid The Glee Club's rendition of three Well-known favorites was a beautifully harmonized interpretation, and the program was concluded by the High School Band playing some enthralling overtures, marches, and medleys. -Geraldine Greenman.

GERALDINE GREENMAN Page Fifty-two IN PRELUDE TO VICTORY The Elementary School Band had a successful year under the direction of Mr. Kannel. Eighteen new students who entered the band during the year helped make the organization more successful. These students formerly were members of the tonette class, which was originated to prepare third grade students for the band. The band has rehearsals on Tuesday and Thursday with each grade having an indi- vidual practice period each week. Many of the advanced students are members of the High School Band. Promotion to the advanced band creates the incentive tor the elementary students. The purpose ot the Grade School Band is to prepare young music enthusiasts tor the more advanced High School Band. Following this program of instruction Mr. Kannel has im- proved greatly the musicianship ot the Senior Band. The highlights of the year were the annual concert which was held Ianuary l9, l944, and participation in the Spring Festival presented April ll, l944, by the High School Band. -Bert Kizer.

Page Fifty-three WITH A SONG IN MY By Priscilla Kannel Music plays a very important part in the lives of all young people. This fact was realized at our school and this year we were able to have a girls' glee club under the direction of Mr. Kannel. Due to his efforts, voices have been developed and remarkable progress has been made. When the first Glee Club meeting was called this year, over eighty girls responded, evi- dencing the ever increasing interest in music and voice training. The girls have worked diligently in learning the different parts, thus creating a much greater interest for them. Four-part singing-first soprano, second soprano, first alto, and second alto, has been the custom. We have approximately twenty girls in each section who have worked diligently to enhance the harmony. Besides part singing, we also have learn- ed syllable singing and vocalizing. The outstanding musical event of the year was the Music Festival which was presented April ll. The girls sang two sacred numbers, A Song of Home and Lord, Open Thou Our Eyes, also a popular number which was well rendered considering the experience the girls had had with this type of music. The last was accompanied by the high school orchestra. The concert was presented in a lavishly decorated auditorium. The girls also sang two impressive songs at Baccalaurea HEART te.

Wallace, A Plank in Our Peace Platform - Equal Representation Our country is known for its means of representation, called democracy. This means of representation is carried out in the school by the Student Council. At the first of the school year each class elects a boy and a girl to serve as representa- tives on the Student Council. All presidents of different organizations and classes automati- cally become members of the council and are required to attend the meetings. The purpose of the Student Council is to promote a stronger unity between the students and the faculty. Like many other organizations, the council is interested in its business from the entertain- ing as well as the governmental viewpoint. Due to wartime restrictions the council was unable to get many films for movies and only a few special speakers. To overcome these handi- caps in time of war, the council has tried to pro- mote programs within the school. We have had several pep sessions before football and basket- ball games and a session after the Bryan football game as a means of celebration. Dances were held by the council after games. They attracted capacity crowds. The students also seemed to en- joy the speakers we were able to get and the community sings in which everyone participated. The council always has made it a point to welcome and recognize any suggestions brought before it by any member of the student body. Much of the success of the Student Council is due to the helpful and splendid assistance of Mr. How- ald, the adviser. In this rapidly progressing world it is sincere- ly believed that the council will advance to a pinnacle of achievement.

Such an organization is the Girl Reserves, open to all girls who seek the help and guidance of the Supreme Being. Meetings are opened by the lighting of a candle symbolizing our desire to shine forth and set an example for those about us. The programs consist of a reading from the Scrip- tures, a prayer, a discussion of social topics and problems of the day, and a business meet- ing. Each girl is expected to appear on the program at least once during the year. The most impressive service of the year is that of the initiation of new members and we ir can es at the Association flame and become members of the Circle of Light, will always be loyal, true Girl Reserves. At the Christmas season, we decorated a beautiful tree, which was placed in the en- trance hall of the High School. The last and most lovely project of the year was the Mother and Daughter Banquet held on the fifth of May. At this time the new officers were installed. The program was well plan- ned and received the high approval of all who attended. The officers who have directed us through this year are as follows: President, Geraldine Greenman, vice president, Betty Smithg secretary, Marjorie Kiley, treasurer, Priscilla Kannel, membership chairman, Barbara Noling program chairman, Marian Eberly, social chairman, Doris Barrett, service chairman, Pauline Maier, adviser, Margaret Stainthorpe. iw Top Row: Marion Eberly Norma Youngs Dolores Eackler G 'l C , , - , raci ee ritchfield, Eloise Connolly, Margaret Stickney, Rose Marie Winzeler, Virginia Stimson, Phyliss, Guilinger, Hazel Beek, Margie Light, Elsie Wallace, Pauline Roush, Pauline Maier, lna Mae Harrington, Doris Barrett, lune Dannison, Patricia Houk, Priscilla Kannel, Betty Horton.

POST-WAR I-IOMEMAKERS NOT BAFFLED BY RATIONING By Phyllis Weaver This year more than ever before, the Future Homemakers of America is an organization of which to be proud. lt has played a large part in the activities of our school. Early in the year the F. H. A. organized a committee to sell war bonds and stamps. A contest was suggested and each class worked as -a team. The team that bought the most stamps and bonds was the Iunior class, which was honored at a party given by the F. H. A. on February l5. Through this program our school was able to purchase two jeeps. The F. H. A. l'Military Corps was another achievement of our club this year. At the meetings all the members wore plain white cotton blouses if they were Hbuck privatesf' They earned their stripes by a point system. Each additional fifty points entitled a girl to a promotion. With each promotion a gold stripe g 7 was added to her blouse to indicate her rank. Each girl strove to attain the highest rank. On September 28, 1943, a meeting was held and the first degree, Little Women, was given to the new members. Later in the evening a pot- luck was held in the gymnasium. On December l5 the F. H. A. and F. F. A, Parent, Daughter, and Son Banquet was held with an attendance of about one hundred and fifty. The program was very entertaining and members of both clubs participated. A Christmas party was given on December l7. On March 2 the second degree, 'The Fire- side Circle, was given to all girls qualified for it. Each girl learned food preparation, clothing con- struction, cleaning, family budgeting, child care, problems of diet, and community relationships. Also included in this year's subjects was the new problem of point rationing which brought about the use of substitutes and the preparation of more SfC1Udi1'1Q3 NOHHG Tfwflef, Arms WCINCICG, Wil- green vegetables lsdene Moore' ' Seated: Marian Eberly, Miss Braithwaite, lris Wallace.

They become better farmers and better leaders. This is one reason why we have a motto such as: Learning to do, Doing to earn, Earning to live, Living to serve. CHAPTER HON ORED A beautiful gold trophy was awarded the Montpelier F. F. A. chapter lanuary l9, l944, for receiving second place in the conservation contest. Members of the chapter received points for the following activities: Tree planting which will aid the generation of the future by providing lumber and many of the products of dependent industries, gully controlling which was helped by trees and legume h crops t at tend to prevent soil erosion, food patch planting which was to help wild life find food during the winter months, the posting of no hunting signs to prevent the depletion of game during the season. -Ray Van Auken.

Then it set about to find a way to install these great princip . Official emblem of the club is the triange, which bears a cross representing the figure of Christ. Three sides of the triangle signify body, mind, and spirit. Hi-Y club aims to develop l d h sical nature to lead to good sportsmanship, to foster a clean mind which a c ean, soun p y will direct a manner of right living and good citizenship, and to inspire in the youth of today a desire to live a true Christian life.

This distinguished emblem is a symbol of the M Club and designates the wearer as an athlete. The desire of all boys attending school is to acquire a school letter. This coveted award is granted by the athletic association and conferred by the coaches. When a boy earns a letter he is entitled to join the M Club. This club came into ex- istence three years ago under the supervision of Coach Kessler. lt immediately distinguished itself as one of the outstanding clubs of the school. lts meetings are conducted according to a ch-arter and its officers are elected at the beginning of each school year. The M Club provides an opportunity for closer con- tact between boys and coaches. lt promotes fellowship and good sportsmanship. This year the club has been under the supervision of Coach Huffman, The officers are president, vice president, secretary and treasurer, and sergeant-at-arms. This last officer enforces order and sees that no laws or codes are broken. l-le imposes fines for any disturbance during the meetings, The M Club, although in its infancy, has great possi- bilities and will go far in establishing a feeling of clean sportsmanship among the athletes of our school. lts future depends on the cooperation of the student body. This year the officers of the M Club are: President, lames Pace, vice president, Bill Fleming, secretary and treasurer, Dick Knecht, and sergeant-at-arms, Frank Lantz.

This was an agriculture scholarship examination which is given every year to high school seniors. Girls are eligible to take this examination, but in the past they have not grasped the opportunity. ' ' h frst in Williams county from which girls have attempted to take Montpelier school is t e i this examination. Both of these examinations were difficult and required a period of approximately three hours in which to complete them. There was little or no stipulated preparation before taking the examinations and the students, therefore, were those in the upper division of their class Although none of the students distinguished themselves famously, they had the satisfac- tion of having tried. Those who never try cannot accomplish, the commendable person is the one who refuses to be discouraged, who comes up to the starting line to try again. The World needs people of courage and vision and character who are not afraid to try and are brave enough to dare. -Marie Bavin. iors journeyed to Bryan, Where, with sen- Page Sixty-one SUDDENLY 1T'S SPRING The night arrived, the night that we all had been waiting for. Weeks of planning had been spent to make this evening the memorable oc- casion which it was. At last it was upon us, the gym was decorated as a beautiful spring garden. There was a small pool in the center surrounded by colorful flowers. The orchestra was playing as we were escorted into the gar- den by our genial hosts, the Iuniors. An appe- tizing three-course dinner was served by the Sophomores. With the completion of the dinner the danc- ing began. Beneath the dim lights the rustle of multicolored formals blended well with the hit song Suddenly lt's Spring. The evening drew to a close far too soon, but it will hold a prom- inent place in the diary of every Senior. FRESHMAN AND SOPHOMORE PARTY The Freshmen and Sophomores enjoyed an evening by themselvesg 'twas the evening of April l4. The party was opened with a grand m-arch led by Mr. Boucher and Miss Briner. With the ending of the grand march the lines broke up into couples and everyone danced or grouped into teams to play games. With the able assistance of Mr. Boucher, the underclass- men had a community sing. The refreshments, consisting of sandwiches, potato chips, and Pepsi-Cola, were served and they finished the party by singing the Farewell Song. A MOTHERS' HOLIDAY The Annual Girl Reserve Banquet, honoring mothers for their kindness throughout the year, Page SOCIAL CALENDAR DOTTED was a scene long to be remembered. The proud mothers were escorted to the gymnasi- um by their happy and excited daughters. The girls in formal attire presented every color of the rainbow. They entered the dining room and were seated in the soft glow of candle light, enjoying a dinner prepared by the mothers themselves. A program previously arranged by the girls was presented to the mothers, who composed a most appreciative and receptive audience. GIRL RESERVE INITIATION The new members who were selected to be admitted into the Girl Reserve were initiated in February. The auditorium was lighted only by candles, each girl lighted her individual candle from the Association flame and was admitted into the Circle of Light. The explana- tion of the Girl Reserve code was presented by the older members. After the initiation in the auditorium, a pot- luck supper and program were presented in the gymnasium. Helen Herriman gave a read- ing, and a duet was sung by Mary Beams and Priscilla Kannel. VALENTINE BOND PARTY A Valentine Bond Party was sponsored by the F.l-l.A. in honor of the luniors, who won the bond selling contest. The gym was very well decor-ated in honor of the occasion. Early in the evening Mr. Shaeffer attained the honor of being the first to empty his bottle in a milk- drinking contest. Other contestants were Mr. l-lowald, Mr. Faben, and Mr. Huffman. Later a singing group was organized in which every- Sixty-two BY GALA FUNCTIONS one had a part, Doris Barrett accompanied on the piano. Best of all were the refreshments, Valentine cookies and punch. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing or taking part in the table games. FOOTBALL BAN QUET Following an exceptionally fine season in football, a banquet was made possible by the contributions of the business men. Held on De- cember ZO, l943, the entire football squad was present as well as the coaches. The mothers of several boys on the team prepared the din- ner, which was served by the cheerleaders. There were several amusing highlights of the banquet, these were supplied by two of the cheerleaders who fell down and spilled ham on the boys, much to the embarrassment of both. Later, following speeches by the coaches, the football letters ware awarded. HI-Y INITIATION This year being no exception, the Hi-Y was organized early in the fall. It was necessary to install new officers, to do this, plans were made along with those made to initiate new mem- bers. The honor of initiating these pledges fell upon the active members. A very impressive religious service headed the program, following it and other formalities, refreshments were served. After extensive thought upon the subject of a proper initiation ritual for the pledges, it was decided that they should remove their shoes and socks, walk to some person's home and obtain a designated object and return with it to the school. All this was accomplished with the fine sportsmanship for which Hi-Y is noted. CREPE PAPER FORMAL fn April the F. H. A. held one of their out- standing parties of the year-their crepe paper formal. There were many novel and ingenious formal dresses of various colors and styles. While all were worthy of mention, prizes went to Hazel Beek, Marcella Iohnson, and Shirley Eberly. The scene of festivities was the high school Wagon Wheel, and guests were the faculty wives. FUN TIME IN GYM A Valentine Dance was sponsored, Feb. 14, by the Modern Mothers Club, to whom we still are expressing our thanks for the time and en- ergy which they contributed to the establish- ment of the Wagon Wheel. The Music Makers, our High School Or- chestra, gave out with both jive and mellow music which pleased all the guys and gals. The scene was completed by the addition of lavish decorations adorning the entire gym. The Wagon Wheel was open for its first in- spection. lts debut proved successful in receiv- ing the unanimous approval of all. Altogether, kids, three cheers for the Mothers Clubl F. H. A. AND F. F. A. BANQUET The annual father, son, mother, daughter banquet was held on December l5, l943, with an attendance of about two hundred seventy. After meeting in the auditorium and then pro- ceeding to the gymnasium for dinner, W. A. Manahan g-ave an interesting talk on the im- portance of farmers in the present war. Page Sixty-three WE SOLVED THE PROBLEM OF IUVENILE DELINQUENCY By Roberta Dean l-ligh school boys dnd girls need on outlet for their superfluous energy. This overdbundgnce of energy is, perhops, the cduse of so much juveninle delinquency in the United Stortes todciy. The Modern Mothers' Club, recognizing this fdct, undertook the job of credting cr club where the high school boys ond girls could spend leisure hours in g wholesome dtmosphere hcrving fun dnd perhcrps get- ting of little trdining for future citizenship. This trciining would be on the socigl side, teoching us to mingle with other people of our crge ond tedching us to respect other peoples wishes, for in ci smoothly running or- gcrnizdtion everyone must cooperdte ond not infringe too much on other members' rights. Rules of the Wdgon Wheel, cis specified by the Mothers' Club, gre simple ornd ecisy to follow: No smok- ing in the building or on the grounds, members must remain in bdsement when using club focilitiesg crnd condcut should be mordlly high ott dll times. The club is open severol times through the week, and usudlly during the noon hour. A typicgl scene disf closes the room pcrcked gnd overflowing in to the hgll, Where g furious toble tennis bcrttle is being Wolged. From inside come the sounds of lgughter dnd ev- eryone tdlking ot once. The juke box is plcrying conf tinucilly ond the ddnce floor is crowded. One has his choice of pldying ccirds or just sitting ond trying to mcrke one coke lcrst dll evening. lt doesn't cost ci thing to belong to the club, dnd cf dcrte cgn be fincrnced on o few colces. There is no excuse for juvenile delinquency in Montpelier while there is such CI splendid orgdnizgtion connected with our school. The Mothers' Club is to be congrdtulgted on its foresight and hdrd Work in bringf ing us the Widgon Wheel Club. Pdge Sixty-four BUUPE' flllllll On Me nam The saying Alone we are powerless, but together we can accomplish anything has become a living ex- perience the past four years. By having everyone contribute some of his par- ticular talents to the school, it becomes a better place to pursue our formal education. Some students apply themselves on the football field, on the basketball court, or on the Cinder track, others are equipped for musical organizations, while a few have the qualities necessary for leadership in classes and clubs. But cooperation does not stop here. One boy can't play a game of football alone and win. lt takes all eleven players doing the right thing at the right time to reap victory. Similarly, cooperation of all the United Nations is needed to produce victory. What one nation can supply in manpower, another can supply in the implements of war. By combining all the resources of the United Nations, an impregnable war machine is formed. Cooperation will win the war and cooperation will write the peace. -Bob Wilson. Page Sixty-five VICTORY MERITS TROPHY Annually the Bryan-Montpelier game is the big football game of the year. This year the Rotary clubs of Montpelier and Bryan decided to buy a trophy that was to remain with the winning team for a year. They bought a beautiful trophy with a wood base and a plastic column running to the top,l where a gold statue of a player stands. Ont it they had inscribed l'Montpelier l9, Bryant U. We were allowed to hold it for this year, Who gets it next year depends upon the outcome of the big game. We wish to thank both Rotary clubs for their fine sportsman- ship in offering to the schools this trophy., lt will give both teams something to fight for in the future.

He did a fine job of it, turning out a winning team. He worked hard every night - rain, shine, or snow. Many nights he and the team practiced un- til after dark. His untiring efforts and will to win made him a swell coach. He built his team on an element of surprise and alacrity. He developed a strong line and a speedy backfield which kept its opponents in sus- pense most of the time. The team wouldn't have gone far without Bill Howald there to guide them and to correct their mistakes. Frank Altaffer, assistant coach of the l944 season, was a big factor in building the football team. He was always on the spot to give advice and criticism when needed. Liked by all, Frank helped Bill round out a well balanced team and put it on the field. Mr. Altaffer played on the team that Bill Howald coached when here before, and therefore he knew what was expected of him. Mr. I-Xltaffer also coaches the Iunior High students in their sports events, ever building them up for high school competi- tion. SCHEDULE Montpelier ....... ....... l 3 Montpelier ....... .......

As the last game approached, he was an end worth a gre-at deal. He also had to be watched in the lockers, because if the color of his towel did not suit him, he fre- quently borrowed another. WILLIAM PRIEST - Tackle l'Blubber, a threeeletter man in football, was big, aggressive, and reliable. Whether on offense or defense, Bill was there to meet any obstacle that blocked his way. He made All-Conference tackle, this, his senior year. He is now wearing the uniform of the mer- chant marine. LYNN LIGHTBODY - Guard Lynn, being small and light, made his job easier by having determination and nerve. When pulling out of the line to lead a play, he usually was ahead of the ball car- rier, blocking men two or three at a time. He is now running interference for the Navy. WILLIS BIBLE - Guard Wick was the fourth senior playing guard position. When he entered the game, he always pl-ayed hard, fast, and clean foot- ball. Next year's team will lack the guards that this year's team had in abundance. Wick will be one of those missed very much next year. RONALD BROWN - End 'lPing, after being unable to hold a var- sity position in former years because of his size, this year came to life and provided an all-around end. He not only snagged im- possible catches, but was an able man on defense to catch a reverse before it started, He will be missed next year. RICHARD BRANNON - Center HHorsecollar was one of the most valu- able men on the team. As center he had to remember where to center the ball and which man to block afterwards. On defense he held gains through the center to the minimum. He also proved his knowledge of football by helping Doc call plays. Page Sixty-eight SUCCESS IAMES PACE - Guard Deacon was the principal man on de- fense. An average of nearly half the tackles in each game show his defensive ability. On offense he was a worthwhile blocker and valuable in keeping up the team's spirit. lim also made All-Conference and All-State mention this year. DONALD CARROTT - Tackle Bones was big, but very light to hold down a tough position. Hewever, he certain- ly tried, and consequently saw part time action. On a team it takes more than eleven men on the field to make it successful. The team will miss his spirit next year. IAMES MONTGOMERY - Guard Iim was a trifle inexperienced to hold down a steady job on the team, but showed fighting spirit when he entered the game. He played the best he knew how and show- ed the rest of the team that he was a good competitor. He took a beating in practice scrimmage but came back for more. He is now in the Navy. ROGER ELY - Halfback Doc was the man of the team on offense. He not only carried the ball to many touch- downs, but also proved himself capable of calling signals. ln making All-Conference halfback, he proved himself a capable and fine sportsman. The team realized this fact and stood behind him wholeheartedly. FRANK LANTZ - Tackle Frank was a big boy, as one needs to be in a tackle position. He alternated in this position with Louie Light. On defense many times it was Frank that got the ball carrier as he tried to buck our strong front line. Page Sixty-nine OUR WELL-FOUGI-IT BATTLES By Dick Brannon The first day of September found twenty- five anxious recruits and six lettermen re- porting to Bill l-lowald, our new coach. For two and a half weeks the coach and the squad wcrked hard in preparation for first tilt with Auburn. The night was damp but the field was in good condition. Auburn, having played a previous game, had a slight edge on the Locomotives. The boys fought hard but suffered their worst defeat of the season, Auburn 26, Montpelier l3. A week later we were hosts to the Napo- leon eleven. Both teams were bidding for their first league victory. The game was played in a driving rain and the field was very wet, thus giving an advantage to the Wildcats, who were heavier. The third quar- ter proved a downfall when Napoleon's ace back went over tackle for a touchdown run of eighty yards. The game ended with Mont- pelier on Napoleon's six-inch line. Napoleon 6, Montpelier U. With an open date the boys had a ch-ance to rest and go over some mistakes. On October 8 the Locomotives were hosts to the Wauseon lndians. With an early touchdown in the first quarter Montpelier led at that half 6 to O. With another score in the fourth quarter, Montpelier held its vic- tory. Montpelier l2, Wauseon O. The next Friday we journeyed to Hillsdale, where they met us on a damp field. Both teams showed great ability, with Montpelier romping to an easy victory. Montpelier 39, Hillsdale l5. October 22 found the Locomotives pre- pared for their most awaited game of the season-Bryanl lt was a beautiful night as the teams met fcr the contest. With a score in the second quarter, after a blocked punt, Montpelier led at the half, six to nothing. The next half was also Montpeliers when two scores in the final period handed the Bears their first setback from Montpelier in twelve years. Montpelier l9, Bryan O. The week of October 28 the Sylvania squad came to spend an evening with the Locomotives. Montpelier scored in the sec- ond quarter, after fighting off Sylvania's scoring threat. At the half-time the Locomo- tives led six to nothing. Sylvania came back the last half with plenty of fight. The Locos, weakened by injuries earlier in the game, yielded to Sylvania their only touchdown. The game ended in a deadlock. Montpelier 6, Sylvania 6. Another rainy evening found the Locomo- tives at Delta. The squad was slow in start- ing but easily rolled up a victory. Montpelier 20, Delta O. November l2 the squad journeyed to Lib- erty Center where they played in two inches of snow. The first half was a battle between forward walls of each team, keeping the half scoreless. The third quarter found the Locomotives on Liberty Oenter's goal, where they scored, Montpelier 6, Liberty Center O. The following Friday the Locomotives met Defiance with hopes of winning a tie for the league. Both teams battled hard, but the heavier Defiance team led at the half twelve to six. Montpelier, not willing to give up, came back in the third quarter and went a- head thirteen to twelve. The final quarter proved to be the Locomotives' downfall when Defiance scored twice. The final score was Defiance 24, Montpelier l3. Page Seventy BE IN SHAPE By Guy Priest Now, more than ever before, physical fitness is a vital part of every stu- dent's education. Qur school has offered this training to us in the form of football, basketball, and track, Aside from these major sports, a military drill prograin has been introduced to our school. This program has supplied trainf ing for the students who soon will be marching in the service of their country. The high school, however, is not alone in this plan of physically preparing our youth for tomorrow, The program is exercised to a large extent in the grade school, Where all students are eager to participate. This type of physical edu- cation Will surely prove itself worthy in future years. ROGER ELY Doc, as he is known by his friends, has an exceptionally good aim for finding the basket. He is an outstanding defensive man as well as offensive. He was placed on the first five of the all-league team as guard. DICK BRANNON Race Horse, as Dick is called frequently, gets his hot moods in which he can hit that basket from any position. Dick has the kind of spirit it takes to Win ball games and keep the squad in good morale. BONNIE BROWN t'Brownie has a fair eye for the basket, but is tops when it comes to re- bounding. He has this rebounding advantage that he uses freely on offense and defense to get the ball for the Locomotives. Coach Russ Huffman had a big job to do this year and he did it. He developed a fast, de- liberate team that won more than its shore of games. He us- ed a slow style and had his team Work the ball. Team Work was a big factor in Montpef lier's offense this year. Page Seventy-two GORDON HILL Gordy is Well known as an exceptionally good boy under the basket. His height aids greatly in his ability as one of the best defensive men. The squad will miss Gordy a lot next year. DON CARROTT Bones, as he is Called for his uncanny height and his slim build, is a good boy when it comes to rebounding. l-le is exceptionally good on defense, for, with his long arms, it is very difficult to pass over or around him. -The managers in basketball this year were lim Pace and Gene Wagner. They did a fine lob of keeping up the equip- ment and the players' morale. The managers always take a lot of grief and get little for it, We were proud of this years managers and only hope next years are as good. Page Seventy-three I. Best, H. Kreisher, B. Lockhart, D. Beck, H. Mick, B. Fleming, B. Reese, D. Williams, NET SWISHES OF THE YEAR By Ronnie Brown Montpelier Locomotives started their l943 and l944 basketball season by meeting Pioneer on our home floor. There was a fine turnout to see Montpelier down Pioneer, our first basketball victory. Montpelier 48, Pioneer 25. The following Friday, Montpelier succeeded in downing Defiance for our first N.W.O.L. conference victory, 24-2l. Next the Locos journeyed to Hicksville to meet their first defeat, 44-35. Full of determination, the Montpelier squad came back to win another ccnference game from Napoleon, 40-l3. Bryan, determined to get revenge for their l943 football season's defeat, fell short of the goal ,taking a 37-22 setback on their home court. The next week Montpelier suffered its first league defeat, losing to Wau- seon by the score of 4l-33. Montpelier next traveled to Liberty Center hoping to get back into the league race, only to have their plans upset with their second defeat, 3l-23. Back on their home court Montpelier moved into the winning column by defeating Stryker 42-22. The Locomotives went to Wauseon to reap vengeance for their former defeat, but were again the losers to a fast-battling team, 63-44. The squad, back on their home floor, won another game at the expense of the West Unity squad, 4U-33. A capacity crowd witnessed one of the most exciting games of the year when Montpelier was nosed out in a three-minute overtime period by Liberty Center, 3l-29. Edon, one of Montpelier's oldest rivals, was on the short end of a 5l-32 score when the final whistle blew. Montpelier knocked the props out of Bryan's victory hopes, winning by a safe margin of 34-23. A much improved Defiance team met Montpelier on the Bulldogs' floor. we were defeated by the score of 35-23, During a hard-fought game Montpelier vanquished Edon 37-35. This score proved that 'tThe Bombers did not relish the thought of losing. Monpelier again traveled to Napoleon and was the victim of an up-and- coming team, 34-25. Excitement was heavy in the Montpelier gym as a close game ended with Hicksville on the long end of the score, 35-3l. ln the second round of the District Tournament, Montpelier fell under the onslaught of Defiance, 44-29, finishing an eventful season by winning 9 games and losing 9 games.

The four peppy lassies that are leading the friendly rivalry are: Veda Ensign, lris Wallace, Norma Hephner, and An- na Wallace. The students and the team of Montpelier High School pay tribute to the f o u r cheerleaders who have boosted the team whether they were win-- ning or losing. DIR BoYs' INTRAMURAL l The intramural basketball teams of l944 fin- ished their season in a close race, having to play an extra game to decide the winner. The two teams ending the stason tied for first were Michigan and Ohio State. ln the play-off game Michigan defeated Ohio State to win the intra- mural medals. Michigan was coached by Boger Ely, a mem- ber of our varsity five. This was the second year that Michigan, coached by Bog, won the title. The awarding of medals to the winning teams was started in l94U and was carried on through lQ44. Members of the winning team were: Willis Bible, Denver Beck, Don Bockey, lim Miller, Dale Pushee, Bill Echler, Dick Wilson, and How- ard Moore. They won seven out of their sche- duled tight games. That they played together like a team was one factor which brought them victory. This is something for which our varsity is noted and which was evidently car- ried down to the intramural games. The other participating teams were: Ohio State, coached by Neil Ensign. Bombers, coached by Dick Brannon. l-lot Shots, coached by Dick Knecht. Buckeyes, coached by Don Carrott. Northwestern, coached by Dick Ely. lllinois, coached by Bonnie Brown. Chicago, coached by Iohn Dwyer. Flying Tigers, coached by Gordon l-lill. The boys' intramural program consisted not only of basketball but also of dancing and ping pong, which were available to those who wished to learn. These people were divided into four groups and during activity period one group each day danced. The girls acted as instructors and most of the boys really enjoyed it. A ping pong tournament which started with fifty-two boys was an intramural highlight. ln the semi-finals Dick Ely defeated Donald Apt and Dick Cotter lost to Boger Ely. The finals were a three out of five series with Boger Ely winning. He was awarded a medal with an eagle insignia on it. The original plan was to have a double tournament but, due to lack of time, this plan proved impossible. Mr. Huffman headed the intramural program this year. Work and time were required to en- gineer such a fine program and the school is very grateful to him for his patience. Mr. Echler was kept busy with constant thought toward the care of equipment. This is important now more than ever in this time of stress. The boys worked hard to get in shape this year because they realized that now boys must be physically fit for the armed forces. Thus ended our intramural program for the year. fffarlan Babb. Page Eighty GIRLS' INTRAMURAL This year, as in the past two years of war, the girls have forgone customary gym classes. ln view of this fact the girls' intramural pro- gram has played an important part in the school activities. For the convenience of those girls who never had had an opportunity to learn to dance, the Wagon Wheel was opened at stated intervals. The pupils were divided into small groups, each having a definite time assigned for the lesson. This proved both helpful and enjoyable to all taking part. Ping pong tables were set up in the base- ment for those interested in this type of recrea- tion, which was, perhaps, the most enjoyed ac- tivity of the rural students. Many of the girls found bowling to be the most delightful sport of all and went for it wholeheartedly. Participants were divided into twelve teams which were as follows: Tuesday W-L Bowlerettes l3- 6 Pour Strikes 12- 7 Victory Rollers lU- 9 Holy Rollers 9-10 R.M.B.D.s 7-l2 l-loly Bowlers 6-l3 Wednesday W-L The SOO l4- 5 Daffy Scotts l2- 7 Teddy Bears l2- 7 Zip Team 8-ll Nifty Bowlers 6-l3 Alley Rats 5-lil Tournament winners were: Singles, lune Dannisong couples, Elizabeth Barnhart, Anna Schelling, all-event, lune Dan- nison. Though formal physical education as was required in the past was an impossiblity, strong, healthy bodies, nevertheless, are being developed as a necessary factor in the achieve- ment of success.

Our soldiers on the battlefield today, tomorrow, and till victory is Won will be the peacemakers of the years to come. When the service men return, being familiar with the conditions of other lands, they will take their places in establishing the kind of a World which will benefit the people who live in it. When our final victory has been Won, there will be shouting and throwing of hats, but what is to happen after the hats have come down? We must be ready when that tomorrow arrives.

We give you the hope and prayer of an entire nation at war. We salute each and every one of you, daring and fearless men, fighting men, praying men. lt is to your safekeeping that the heritage of bygone heroes has been entrusted, and we feel secure in knowing that each of you is striving to bring honor to the memory of those heroes. They were the powerful and spirited men who first fought for democracy, you are the men fighting to pre- serve it, neither of you can be praised too highly. For us who remain behind your courage and faith become an added incentive to labor even more strenuously toward the production of the implements of victory. We are exceedingly humble in our gratitude to those who have sacrificed their lives for us. They knew well the pain of separation and yet were willing to make this separation permanent to establish our own personal safekeepingl Their spirits are riding the wings of victory with you. Page Eighty-four to fka en D1 .Yezvice Since December 7, l94l, an urgent need of production and manpower has existed. You, as soldiers of America, have done something with the equipment at hand. W'ith brains, hope and courage you have built a freedom of your own, a freedom worth fighting for. Ours is a nation dedicated to Liberty and to Victory. The present world conflagration is well into its third year. You have contributed significantly to our already enormous effort to bring the war to what we know will be a victorious finish. We know in your fighting you are holding in memory and practicing the lessons that have been taught to you throughout your entire training. You still are gaining knowledge in every shape and form, you are remembering that every success of yours is a success for your countryg you are bearing these thoughts in mind to insure the victory that soon will be oursl -Iune Powers, Editor.

One, two, three, tour, one, two, three four echoes among the tairground buildings as one hundred thirty Montpelier High School youths count cadence to the rhythmical step of a marching company. This program has been in practice in our school for two years and is well accepted by the male students. Several boys completing one year of drill at Montpelier have been assigned higher ranks at the service camps to drill other recruits. Army, Navy, and Marine drills are given by Mr. Boucher to acquaint the recruit with the branch he enters, whatever it may be. Service men coming back to 'Pelier always express their appreciation tor the training they received prior to induc- tion into the armed forces. Marching is not the only event on the schedule for military preparation. Calisthenics, along with the obstacle course on the north side of the school, helps to toughen the muscles not usually used in normal work. The course is three hundred ten feet long with nine obstacles on it, and the fastest time record- ed by any students is 27.2 seconds for the full distance.
