F H. S., we discover that we have many happy memories. In September, 1930, we started as verdant Freshmen. The first big event in which we participated was the Senior Bazaar in November. For class officers, the following were elected:- President—Marjorie Neff Vice President--Charles Keefe Secretary—Eleenor Eingham Treasurer--Jack Robinson Then we returned in September 1931 as gay, young Sopho- mores, more settled down but out for a good time. Again we took part in the annual Senior Bazaar. For class officers we elected:- President--Ralph Knight, Jr. Vice President--Eleanor Bingham Secretary--Thomas Curtin Treasurer--Charles Keefe Once more we returned in September 1932, but this time as jolly Juniors, half cf our High School career having been completed. The big event of this year was our Junior Prom and also the Senior Hop, which was given in honor of the Seniors. Many Juniors took part in the Southern Vermont Musical Festival, which was held in the gymn. The following were elected as class officers:-- President--Charles Keefe Vice President--John Fletcher Secretary--Becky Burt Treasurer--Thomas Curtin Finally we returned to our dear old Alma Mater in September 1933 as grand old Seniors and very dignified. This was the most eventful of our four years. In November the Seniors presented their annual plays. Isle and Grandma Pulls The String, and the regular Senior Bazaar. Then again in March the annual Senior play, The Importance of Being Earnest, was given. In May we started exchanging our name cards, which will bring back to us many pleasant memories of our High School years. The Seniors, together with other members of the school made a remarkable exhibit of their hobbies. One of the most outstanding events of our Senior Year was the school's winning the Brattleboro track meet. A cup was presented to Mr. Smith by Thomas Curtin. Then came Commencement Week, both a happy and a sad time. I The following were elected as officers:- President--Thomas Curtin Vice President--' Villiam Lawlor Secretary--Frances Hennessey Treasurer—Olive Wilson Class colors--crimson and white. IMAGINE !

MUSIO OF THE CLASS OF ’34 The Class of ’34 has been prominent in the musical activities of the school. A great many of the members of the cla s have been either in the Orchestra, the Band, or the Girls' Glee Club. The members of the class who are now In rhe Orchestra have been in it during the four years of high school and have played with the Orchestra at the Senior Clair plays and other entertainments given by the school during that tire. They also played do the concert given during the clasc's Sophomore year, in which the Band and the Girls’ Glee Club also took part. The members of the Bond have played at football and basketball games. The girls who have been in the Glee Club during their high school years have taken part in the operettas. The members have also taken part in the previous graduation exercises. The members of the Class of ’34 in these organ!nations also took part in the Southern Vermont Music Festival in vr.ica several of the surrounding town, as well as Bellows Falls, to-.l. part. This year 3ome of the members of the Class of ’34 gave a series of programs during the Assembly periods under- the direction of Miss O'udd and Mr. Smith. Those offering musical selections were Hilda Mark, with a violin solo, accompanied by Eileen Pierce; George Capron, with a saxaphor.e solo, accompanied by Eileen Pierce; Kenneth Durward, Vocalist, accompanied by E'ileen Pierce; and Margaret Ashcroft, a piano solo.

Our Senior Class Song is entirely new. The music was composed by Permelia Ruggles, and the words were written by Hilda Mark. • ; 7 t ' � • • . .v ' 4 44 . ■ • a •• 4 % f 0 S DRAMATICS On March 23 the class of 34 presented its senior play, The Importance of Being Earnest. The story is an amusing one► The mystery of John Worthing’s background provides a complication in his desire to marry Hon. Gwendaline Fairfax, whose mother is the dominating and worldly wise Lady Bracknell. John’s friend, Algernon Monerieff, provides additional difficulties by imper3anating John's imaginary long-lost brother, and falling in love with John’s ward, Cecily Cardew. Both girls believe that they are engaged to men named Ernest Worthing, and the misrepresent- ations lead to awkward moments for all concerned. The members of the cast were Louis Brown as Algernon Monerieff; William Me Neil, John Worthing; Frances Hennessey, Lady Bracknell; Olive Wilson, Miss Rism; Wilda Campbell, Cecily Cardew; John Fletcher, a butler; and William Lawlor a butler. The play was under the direction of Mr. John D. Stevems and Mr. Carl Peterson. The play committee was Helen Kelley, Chairman, Loretta Fitzgerald and ’illiam Lawlor. The stage manager was Wm. Joda; business manager, Olive Wilson; property manager, Helen Kelley; and prompter, Loretta Fitzgerald .

PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF 1934 It has been ages since I have heard from any of the class of '34. Let me see, to be exact it has been five--ten--no, fourteen years. I wonder what they are doing. I wonder if they are think- ing of me. While I sit musing thus, an inspiration comes to me (which doesn't happen often). Louis, (I fairly shouted I) I'm going to put an ad in the Tines asking each one of our class to tell me what he is doing. Shurely, they all read that popular paper I Louis heartily agreed with me, so 7. telephoned the Times Office at once and asked that the advertisement be put in that night's edition. Oh! pardon me. In r.y excitement 7 forgot to tell you about myself. As you have already guessed Louis Brown and I are mar- ried—everyone expected it. Louis is now running a ‘ashion Shoppe of his own where he works in his spare tine. He are very happy--for the moment, at least! At last, the next day answers began to flow in. hy gooci old classmates had not failed me. Feverishly I sat down to read one letters to Louis. The first one I heard from was Edward Lecne--kddie has retired to the Catskill I.ts. w xere ne will try to take away the Championship for Sleeping from Phil Provost, who has been sleeping since June 15, 1934.

That is our own problem. It is the problem of Youth throughout America. Thousands of young people are finishing High School with their whole future ahead of them and it i3 for them to decide what that future will be. Some will go to college or to schools of specialization, with or without a definite objective. Those who are at schools and who have not yet planned their futi re ' nve tine to choose, while others having chosen they are ready t( jrccood in shaping their lives. But there are many who either cannot spond more years at school or who do not wish to do so. Their problom is pressing. Here is the chance for Modern Youth to show himself In a true light, to prove his ingenuity, his perseverance, his spirit of progress, and his sense of responsibility. Doubtless there will be those, who, hiding behind the alibi of general economic conditions will do nothing at all about this crisis in their livos. These., the loss foresighted, sit about waiting until the more ambiti-jus and the more progressive have arranged opportunities to suii their moods and their adaptabilities. Their wait may b® long or their opportunities may come, but to them, unprepared, tho opportunities will not be recognizable as such, or the ability to make use of them will be lacking. But there is an alternative. It is there for Modern Youth to grasp, wherever he is, whenever he is ready. That alternative is Preparation--preparing to make and recognize opportunities which will lead to succer.3, preparing himself to make the best possible use of them. And realizing this, Youth as a whole will prepare. He will bo ready. Each toMn, each city, evoxi every bit of farmland offers to young America chances to prepare. Each one may choose his method of preparation through his own personal desires and talents and through the material offered by his vicinity. There are many paths of endeavour which embrace indoor and outdoor oppor- tunities. The field of Industry itself offers many chances to Youth. For Instance, in Bellows Falls, a young man graduates from High School. Naturally, ha has high ambitions and visions of what h wishes to accomplish during his life. But for the present something must be done, .:.e receives temporary employment in one of our local industrios 04' activities. Lacking in imagination and discouraged that no goldon opportunities are his for the asking, he may be content to turn out the amount of work which has teen allotted to him, another way in the working machinery of the organization. Hi. � work finished for the day, he may for- get it until the no:;t morning in a constant pursuit of pleasure for only half of which ht has a genuine desire, and, as a result, he is disillusioned with the world, he is bored, and his ambitions diminishes gradually. On the other hand hi night develop a sincere interest in his part of tho work, no matter how small, and by constant observation he may prosper. His interest may lie in the working arid ei oieK ii-moltorc TlcriT .oe ofa od dair ‘or. s ©voTq od drl I « -rrr a ni ulorvrttf o •. ci '.iturA nrafaoM to ec...; eif far.. , icaT orq lr diTiqo aid ,oar.

Through observation, imitation, and perseverance he, too, may become an adept. He, too has a vocation. To be beneficial, his interest must be one which i3 lasting. It is natural for every young person upon receiving employment of any kind to become keenly interested and serious about the work. He investigated and inquires about it. But soon the freshness wears off and he has become accustomed to that which he has to do. As his interest drops away, t'.'.o .piality of his work decreases. If, however, he maintains his interest and continues with his investigation he views the motive of his employers who are always on the look out for young men and women with ambitions and ideas. In observing the work of others the young person must not observe, in a critical manner, the amount and kind, of work which another person does as compared with his ovm. If he does, he will invariably believe himself to bo unfairly treated. His observations may be critical to tl.e point which involves the efficiency of the machines or methods in his factory or shop, for there is an opportunity for ideas. After that he should observe to learn. This young person entering the field, of Industry, or any other field, must strive for individuality. He must work away from the influence of mob-mindnoss and act for himself thought- fully and clearly. While working with the product which he is assisting to manufacture the young man may note some defect in the article which is retarding the sales of his employer's product. After having thought for sometime on the subject he may see a remedy for this defect. By careful planning and proper approach to those in charge, his idea may prove beneficial and profitable. He has made his own opportunity. He is on the road to success. The young graduate starting out in the vocation of his choice may acquire such an interest in his work which may suggest such other possibles that during his leisure he reads and studies on the subject and at home starts on working at some similar project. Soon his interest is intense. He may find finally that he has been sidetracted into something far remote from his original plan. He is enjoying this new work which he does on his own responsibility. Enjoying it, he works at it with a freshness of mind, with an eye to new and possible developments. As his work progresses, a3 he becomes enthusiastic about it, ho discovers that he is able to do it veil, in fact, better than anything else. This being so, no doubt a change in his employment will take place. He will either he sought often by others because of his particular abilities or he may find that he can strike out for himself. He has become a specialist in his particular realm. There is also always the constant chance for advancement for those who wish it. It is a matter of personal characteristics and eagerness. Two young persons nay enter a factory at the same time as common laborers. Both may be conscientious workers. One Is unimaginative and lal;s foresight. no works day by day t ♦ c a. 90 i • • i • • • to complete only that work which is his particular task. The other, eager and with an eye to the future, strives not only to finish his work but to perfect it. Ho is interested in what the man higher up is doing and in observing and imitating his skill. He, too, becomes a skilled worker. Ee is prepared tc fill a vacancy or to advance to a better paid position and one which is more to his liking. The motto on the front of our High School Enter to Learn might serve as the motto for Youth entering new employment, What of tho person who knows • .j better than others who are working at the same thing? at ’ the one who troubles himself to study tho details of tho processes which come before and after that one which is his task? Eg is tho person who will go about his work v ith speed and confidence. He will impress his employers. He will go forward. Any ona of his follow workers may learn to run a machine and attain the willpower to educate himself and the desire to push himself forward will pass by these others and will assume positions, and the giving of orders. He may become a foreman or head engineer. He is a loader. Ho is always ready. He can Go Forth to Serve . There is much awaiting Modern Youth--Youth who has boon challenged, Youth who accepts tho challange. Youth will bo ready. For success seeks the man who is ready. LOCrtL «JVrtNT«GJS The person v ho is preroared is the person who is alert and well- informed. He is ea'er, and he is curious. His curiosity cor.nels him to find out about things and what he finds often helps him to discover how he may increase his efficiency and make his life and the lives of others happier and more complete. Ho :i3 continually searching for fresh information and for new ideas on the old sub- jects, already studied and discussed by the world's great searchers after truth. If he knov s where to find the answers to hi3 questions and the knowledge which will aid him in his better preparation for life, then, he is ready to begin hio preparation. Young men and women with initiative and a will to worlc can find many ways open to them and a great amount of ava? .lab?.o material for study. With money contributed by tax payers are created institutions where anyone may go and study as much as he likes, with no cuestions asked as to whether he be rich or poor. All ovor the country there are libraries, museums, national parks, and night schools, whore an ambitious young person may acquire information on almost any subject he wishes. The most familiar of these institutions, the library, has great possibilities. There, tucked away on bookshelves and magazine racks lies material for a wide and liberal education. The work of the great thinkers of former times reposes side by side with that of modern writers on present day problems. Most of the branches of art, science, anu business are represented and much of this material is very complete, especially in the large city libraries. The magazines are a living part of the library. They are living because they are growing. They are continually replacing old ideas with more modern ones or improving the old theories to fit modern problems. From the scientific magazines we learn how to detect with an ordinary home miscroscope adulterations and spoilage in our foods. We l arn that we may now have blast fur- naces as heaters for our houses and we may equip our homes with a system of microphones and loud speakers, so that Mother, working in the kitchen, can hear Baby in his bedroom when he awakes and lets her know by his loud wailings, that he demands immediate attention. From the general magazines we learn the importance of being able to grasp the meaning of the great new forces at work around us. The young person who wishes to get his full preparation must also know something about government and world history of the present day. He ought to inquire into the significance of what Hitler la doing in Germany, He might also Inquire into the meaning of Fascism in Italy and Communism in Russia; He ought to at least try to find out the meaning of the New Deal, and what the President is trying to do, and where is leading us. The magazines in his public library can furnish him with information on nearly all these important questions as well as teach him such practical things as how best to invest his money, how to escape frauds and swindles, and how to wo to intelligently. Truly, the magazines are living and growing, and for that reason they constitute a very important part of the young inquirer’s education. An Intimate acquaintance with the history and literature of the world is also a great advantage to the young person with ideas and a desire to go places and do things.

Through a study of literature, esoecially the wide field of biography, one may learn how others have carried on the struggle for a higher and happier existance, and why they succeeded, and in what manner they carried on their reparation. He nay read how Darwin, who had to fight against illness, travelled all over the world and patiently gathered facts t.o help him answer a ques- tion which was thought unanswerable. Ho may be interested to learn that Buckle, whenever he read a book, jotted down passages which, lie ins cinctively knew would help him later on. He may learn how checdore Rossevelt fought the corruption of our government by studying the politicians own methods and beating them at their own game. He may come to feel that he, too, may succeed if he really wants to. For those who would like to make a study of some particular subject, the most helpful section of the library is that which contains the technical books. Perhaps a young man mav want to become a radio engineer. He studies all the material he can find on thi3 subject of radio in his public library, and in this way gains quite a wide knowledge in this 'he lb. of‘endeavor. A girl who likes cooking and is interested in the chemistry of the'human body, may want to become a dietician, one can find nearly all the material she needs in her own library, or in some other library. In this same way a person may study to become anything from a carpenter to an electrician, or from a landscape gardener to a successful homemaker. The museum, although not so accessable as the library, is in ore respect a very important element in education. It may be used as a supplement to the bock learning obtained in the library. Thus 1 young man mey want to become a mineralogist. He borrows all the bocks he can find on this subject from his public library, and then If he i3 fortunate, enough to be able to go to a museum, he studies its collection of minerals in connection with his reading, and in this way gains quite a thorough knowledge of his chosen subject. In certain parts of the country are found cthei institutions for preparation supported by taxes: Such are the national parks, and also the night schools held in some cities to help ambitious working people become more intelligent and proficient. These also may be of great assistance to those who can utilize the opnortunities they offer. In order to live abundantly and richly it is necessary to increase our relations and our interests outside ourselves. The person who is happy and who remains strong and competant during times of disaster is the one who has a deep interest in a wide variety of subjects. All of these institutions, the library, the museum, the national parks, and the night school, furnish the young graduate just entering the vorld with such a wide variety of interesting subjects. Tuoy give him a chance to enrich his personality, increase h s capability, ant' raise his confidence in himself. When his f’spertunity arrives, he is ready.

Every man and woman in every walk of life, needs something to turn to after being harassed by the strain and hard- ships of v ork or the worry of unemployment. Have you a hobby? At this time of year, hobbies have turned naturally to the out-of-doors. Fishing, photography, hiking, and gardening present endless opportunities for self-education and amusement in God's great out-of-doors. Men and women share equally the desire to throw a perfect cast, snap a picture, hike over the countryside, or beautify their premises by the intricate planting of flowers and shrubs. Fishing may cast little or much, according to one's financial resources. Certainly you won't be content with the ordinary steel rod and everyday equipment if you have the means to buy the light weight Bamboo fly rod, oiled silk line, ball-bearing reel and rust-proof fish hooks. The real enjoyment of the hobby is not gained through equipment good or bad, cheap or expensive, nor in the fact of well stocked water, but rather from your personal appreciation of the art of angling which at any moment may land you a big one. You will discover that fishing today is a much more highly developed art than in the days of the bare-foot boy v ith his twine and bent pin, unconsciously luring the 10£ inch trout. Careful study should be. given to season, tackle, bait, and likely fishing spots, not forgetting an intimate acquaintance with the game laws and requirements of the territory in which you fish. Fishing interest and skill may be greatly increased find widely developed by membership in some Rod and Gun Club, or some other society for the disciples of Isaac Walton. Knowledge of various species of fish, and their habits and spawning, as well as a worthwhile acquaintance with the likely waters of your State which have been stocked, may be gained from a visit to one or more of our fish hatcheries. This particularly avocation leads to more than enjoyment and self-satisfaction, however. Fishing offers a sure road to health by its out-of-doors activity, develops a ready eye and a steady hand, a tenacity of purpose and skill of aim. It offers an outlet for the enlargement of its pleasures and the sharing of its interest by magazine articles.and illustrated lectures so that all men and women may share with the adventurers. Many people have found an open'door to rehumeratiwe occupations such as that of game warden, guide, and manager of fish hatcheries. Thus you may make your avocation become your vocation. r. equipment goi . s . 1 . r Another out-door hobby that both entertaining and practical is photography. Amateur photography is becoming more and more popular. Hers, as in fishing, one finds that this hobby de- velops one's patience and ingenuity. Especially is this true in the line of scientific and nature photography. Days and 1 Careful rr udy should c’iDjjivair. to «Mao .,- • V., nnd likely f irr. i.ng spot:;, not f cr .re t. ar ir fc-.-r.a' -cqrt .1 :v. sometimes weeks are involved in preparation for the right moment to photograph the subject at its best. Undue haste and a faulty technique may lose or spoil what otherwise would be a priceless picture. Apart from the pleasurable values of vocation photography, one often secures a true and intimate record of scenes and ex- periences of historical worth. outdoor photograohy develops your appreciation of tha beauty o God's creation. Ey it, the world may more easily o hu.’ ' od into a neighborhood as tho scenic beauties of one councry arc sent to friends in another. It lends itself to the development of the appreciation of values, beauty of form and color, settings, homely and majestic. All find their place in the record of light caught by the camera's eye. Photography, taken up as a hobby, may lead one to a vocat- ion in various specialised subjects. It offers opportunities for many types of cameramen. There are the artists of the studio who are concerned with lighting effects and posing, the dare- devils newspapermen, who venture out on steel girders to gain a vantage point from which to take a picture of a riot or other item of daily interest. Another type is the artist who is in- terested in preserving landscapes and color effects, and yet others are the scientists who tabulate the results of their ex- peditions with the camera, the astronomers who chart the heavens and photograph worlds unseen by the naked eye, and the surveyors whose photographic plates add to the accuracy and complctness of our topographical maps and charts. Hiking, a necessity in the participation of the foregoing hobbies, fishing and photography, often becomes a pleasure and a privilege as its creative values are discovered. Soon it be- comes a hobby itself, one of the most beneficial, and fascinat- ing that one can enjoy. Vvho has not known the charm and bene- fits to both mind and body from a long walk into the country at almost any season of the year, each season in turn, present- ing its attractionsi Hiking as an organized activity originated in Germany. Hikers formed clubs and tramped over the countryside sometimes at a distance of twenty-four miles a day. Later, the idea spread to America and has now become popular through the activities of outing and sport clubs. One of the host hiking projects in Now England is the deve- loping of the Long Trail. The move to make the Groen Mountains available to lovers of the out-of-doors was due to the initia- tive of James P. Taylor, former faculty member at Vermont Acad- emy, Saxtons River. A small number of mountain lovers were called together by Mr. Taylor in 1910 to form what is known as the Groen Mountain Club. The purpose of thi3 club is to build tracks, to erect camps and shelters, to issue maps and literature, and in general to enlarge the appreciation of tho relationship of the Green Mountains to the life and history of the State, and to introduce • .. ... ,, , 4 . f 'M m . - . •4 • • . 8 TO H .• . • •' . r. 1 • ' - them t9 all lovers or jjp cart—• The e has been con- tinuous progress in fuiftxX-.-— of this purpose, until the Long Trail today is 250 miles long, extending from Massachusetts to Canada, and lodges and other conveniences have been established along the route. Hiking enthusiasts from all over tho world have, for the last few years, come to the Green Mountains to hike over parts of the Long Trail, finding a wilderness hike of wild beauty and healthful strenuousness. In almost every comrm.ni’.y there are to be found trails of unusual charm and interest Loth historical and artistic, by which this most healthful and instructive hobby may be developed. The last hobby that I have time to mention this evening is gardening. This is perhaps the most common of the four because it is in tho reach of all. Anyone who wants to cultivate things can invariable find a spot somewhere near at hand. This, of all outdoor hobbies, brings us into the closest touch with the Creator. And yet the fool contends that God is not. Not God in the garden when the eve is cool? Nay, but I have a sign, Ttis very sure he walks in mine. ■ t develops the spiritual, artistic, and creative, faculties and provides with the changing year something new in fascinating loveliness. For time, energy, and care bestowed upon a garden, large or small, one find an adequate repayment in bud and blos- som, foliage and fruit, fragrance and beauty. This hobby may become a highly specialized one, offering an infinite variety to those v ho seek to chose. One of the most popular types of garden today, is the rock garden. By the care- ful planting of small flowers and ferns, many beautiful effects in one's rock garden can be obtained. If one is not well vorsed in rock gardening, he can improve his leisure time by reading the many books on the subject. One of the most satisfying gardens for the average hobbyist is the perennial garden with its minimum of care and maximum of production, becoming a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Economical circumstances in which we now find ourselves have emphasized the practical worth of the vegetable garden in the olanting of which, many peoplo have found relief from the press- ure of affairs and added resources to help them through a lean period. The beautifying values of this hobby have extonded far and wide until today there's hardly a community without Its beautification project which has cprung from the gardening hobby of some enthusiast. Have you a hobby? More satisfaction is derived from living if we are interested in one or more projects outside of everyday happenings. Self-education is the problem that confronts us as we step out into the world. Hobbies are the means by which we • • i. 4 T e ' o ' • 1 can while away our leisure time, at the same time becoming pre- pared and educated for future problems by our own initiative. If you have a hobby, keep your interest in it alive. If you haven't a hobby, cultivate one, and the outlook of the future will be much brighter. Busy men and women are generally happy men and women. THE TOY OF TODAY If, TEE DRAIN OF TOMORROW Today we find a man interested in a toy, tomorrow we find he has a model and in a short time the train is on the track. This is very true especially in our day and age. Y e ire living in a scientific world which is constantly offering something new in the interest of science, a world that is to go still further in this field. We have progressed rapidly in knowledge during this past generation, and thanks to our ircreated knwoledge, we have been able to better our life and conditior. People seem to be anxious to help us increase our learning coneerring the unknown and to find some new ideas to aid man Ail the fields of business industry are rapidly using new inventions to further perfect the goods and products they have to offer. Science gives us an improved medicine, science gives us pure food, science gives us knowledge of the world about us. We owe to science the advance of our civilization. Through science we are given a chance to know more about the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the articles we use. Scientific organizations and even the United States government itself issue circulars, pamphlets and magazines telling us of the true con- tents of a certain product. V hen we read them we are educating ourselves, for we are making the most of he opportunity we have to learn something about ourselves, and our liv .i', these pamphlets and magazines are of use to us because they warn u: of the effects of a certain food or medicine. By reading these circulars we are teaching ourselves to know a little something about science. We owe our communication and transportation facilities to science. Communication has been advanced through the years by science from the tom-tems of the African jungle to the speed of the modern telephone and telegraph. Through the years practically every improvement in this fieid has been brought about by scien- tific study and adoption of scientific rules. Radio has given us a new field of business, ana this field is constantly increasing, The radio set is in itself a master- piece of scientific construction, and improvements are being added to it constantly. Along with radio has come television, a phen- omenal discovery. This branch of radio is as yet comparatively young, but in the future with f irther scientific development it will become practically a commodity. Remote control by which cars and airplanes are directed by people miles away is another great miracle. No matter where we go we see some form of science being used to help man and lighten his burden and add further enjoyment to his life. The electric eye, used to take photo- graphs and used in motion picture machines is another gift to the human race. The discovery of new metals, which cost less and act stronger is constantly replacing our modern metals, showing us the great interest of people in the bettering of the welfare .no tt ow bns it sin ir.jv- : ■' 9 $? i —■ • lie c-i ovsd 0®.!

Transportation has developed steadily, years ago it took our pioneer forefathers, using a covered wagon as a means of conveyance, sixteen weeks to cross the continent. A little later it could be done in five weeks by a pony express rider. The first transcontinental train made the coast-to-coast trip in twelve days, and now the continent has been crossed in thriteen hours by airplane, a feat which allows us to have breakfast in California and supper in New York. Transportation is being per- fected more and more as time goes on. The automobile has increased from a slow ambling piece of metal to a marvelous piece of machin- ery rushing over the roads. Our fastest transport, the airplane, embodies in it many laws of science, without the knowledge of which we would be unable to imitate the birds. Even now, not satisfied with its great speed, its ability to carry heavy loads, and its ability to weather most storms, science is taking further steps to increase the use of the airplane. Variable pitch propellors and superchargers are being used on airplanes to enable them to fly in the high altitudes where storms are very rarely encountered. Here again science has made use of its great mind to help the human race. We have before us a great opportunity, for, as the years pass on, we will find science more and more in use. The world can always find a place for the person who is well versed in what the world about him is doing and who can understand the wonders that are taking place around him. With stream-line trains rushing about at a speed of over a hundred miles an hour, with airplanes flying ouerhead so constructed that they may fly equally well at two hundred feet or ten miles altitude, with the automobile perfected from a slow, shaky piece of machinery whose every part rattled except the horn, to a high powered motor car, radically stream-lined, with floating power, air-flow facilities and air-cushioned tires, we must be on the alert at all times to grasp every opportunity offered us to learn about these phenomena. As time goes on we cannot help but notice that science is rapidly entering every field. The food we eat, and the clothes we wear are regulated somewhat by science. We are told food is good for us, and whether given materials are rightfully represented. We are told of the weather conditions. In fact, science might be called one of the best friends of mankind. Opportunity awaits the person who has foresight enough to grasp it. The foreward-looking man cannot help but see that the world is ever changing and unless he keeps up with the trend of the times, he will be completely lost in a very short time. His only hope is to commence now to grasp the significance of the changes and perfections of science and to become intimate with every change. Patience must be his guide, perseverance his right hand man, and continuous watchfulness his motto. it 'T 7 l£ . ; ' IOOBj 'rld ♦ • y r •. , .� •� • -vt ; • .3 i ! 7 ; ' - ■ , Oit - 38 lo . v h • ' .

V e have learned the truth in the d proverb Experience is a great teacher. v e have seen the portunities presented in ne1” occupations, but nov: let us see at chances for Self-advancement are offered by the oldest of -cupations, agriculture The ancient Biblical writer recognized that out of the dust of the earth man was cheated. Man was not only created out of the dust of the earth, but since creation, man has existed and raised himself to supremacy over the beasts only by that intelligence which pro pted him to cultivate the soil. Prom that day in the dim ages vhen man abonded the chase as the sole method of self-maintcnace, and started crudely to till the soil, he wa3 fared to rule the world. Though the advancing centuries, improvement in methods cf irri.’.:.g Pre- ceded improvement in civilization. In other words, civiliza- tion has kept race with agriculture. Hov; fortunate it is that such an important occupation as agriculture, upon which our complex modern civilization de- pends , presents so great a number of opportunities for 5el education and self-advancement. Por, contrary to popular beliefs, agriculture does offer many opportunities for tne ambitious young man. To exemplify this statement, let us take a certain young man (we will call him Mr. X. Not the mysterious Mr. X, out just Mr. X.) Mr. X. is ambitious, responsible, trustworthy young man; a man who has vision and initiative, Mr. X owns a farm but he has not had the opportunity to attend the state agricultural college. This young man is not content with making both ends barely meet. He wishes to become a success. How can he do it? Will he ever become a successful farmer if he blunders along in bis work? Mr. X thinks not, so he pro- ceeds to educate hinsolf. Uncle Sam has the kindness to ierovide free delivery of mail for his rural population. Mr. X immediately takes advan- tage of this gift and orders several agricultural magazines to be delivered by Mr. Postman. When the magazines have arrived, Mr. X studios them as textbooks, and puts Aaoo actual practice all theories acquired through the medium of articles contained in the agricultural magazines. Mr. X has an advantage over farmers of by-gono days. At dinner—timo, ho turns the dial cf his radio to an agricultural broadcast and then sits down to on joy his dinner. ’While eating, Mr. X assimulatos much of the advice to farmers broadcast over the air, and he tries to utilise in the management of his farm those things which he has learned- The radio is a boon to the farmer, for it net only gives aim much holp'.ui advice as to crops and stock, but it also gives him the latest market quo- tations on farming produce, tolling him what and when to buy or sell. 5 i: ' 'X ■ ! s. , • ••■ Now let us suppose that Hr. X is puzzled by some detail of farming. To settle the point in question; Llr. X has the benefit of a vast organization, or I should say, combination organizations, which will help to settle his difficulty. This combination of organizations is known as the extension movement. This movement stc.rtcd in 1861 with the passage of the Morrill Act by the Federal Congress. This act made a grant of public land to each state to establish a college for instruction in agriculture. In 1888, the Hatch Act made an annual federal appropriation to each of these col- leges for the establishment of an agricultural experiment station, whose investigations, with those of the united States Department of agriculture, have been largely re- sponsible for the scientific be.sis of modern agriculture. It was but a few years after the establishment of the agri- cultural experiment stations under the Hatch Act If 1388, that the colleges commenced to realize that the results of their investigations would not bo extensively utilized, by farmers unless other methods of instruction were employed beyond the mere publication of reports and bulletins; and addresses at farmers institutes end agricultural mootings. Those were good, but they were felt to bo inadequate, and it was evident that to secure the general adoption of new methods, some means of more systematic instruction and of local demonstration were necessary. The agricultural colleges came to fool that they should have definite depart- ments with men who could devet.. their time to giving: in- structions to the people on the land. The first appropri- ations for agricultural extension work was made to Cornell University by the state of Few York in 1914, but it was a decade later before the leading agricultural cclieges had established departments of extension work, in gonotv.l, the early period of the extension movement was chiefly concerned with methods of agricultural protection, and had no uofinito program for the local organization of its work. This finally came about througn the county agent movement. This movement in c lied the county agent movement or the farmer’s cooperative demonstration ro r.:| Three new features in agr.,- net. “action of farmers wo to involved m this system; it was more cr loss cooperative on tno part ol a local group of it umero; it v • .1 vno uomenstr it •.on method ox teaching, th„.t is. the farmer clcx.metre-tod o himself by his own trial; r nd third, a -arty was employed for the local suporvi -ion o .he rook, The count;-- agent is a trained expert m all iwvw ic-: of -griculturc.. ’ho has tho benefit of all the info- a .riot rb cable! ey CA’w.rr-.onts per- formed through college exton u.n cork, and thyosgn experi- ments of the Unitou ''tutor I - :. t;..ont of Agriculture. This information tho county agoni it expect C to pass on if the farmer so desires. For ins tan o . , our Mr, X may wish to know what fertilizers to use for a _-iel, cf corn and in what quqn- titics to use it. Tho countv ug. it .ill analyze the soil and determine what fertilizers to use. lir. X’s neighbor, Mr. A, wishes to know what spray to use and how to apply it lor his orchard. Mr.. B,' nother neighbor, would like to know some thin2.ab0u.t- the brooding oi thorough-bred por- choron draft-horses. Tlio county agent is expected to give those men the benefit oi expert .dvioc. This valuable ad- vice given by the county agent, combined with the results oi the farmers' own experiments Cexperiments brought about by the farmer's own initiative and vision) gives to the farmer an excellent scientific basis for agricultural achievement. With these opportunities for sclf-education and solf- ndvancciaont, and thus success before him, any man with the finer qualities of character can achieve success. In fact, lir. Dwight Sanderson, professor of Rural Social Organiza- tion at Cornell University, says in part, The extension movement recognizes that only by the development and train- ing of the largest -mount of enthusiastic, voluntary, local leadership can its work have a. foundation that will make it permanent. It thus recognizes an essential factor of all social organizations5 that is, the power of personal leader- ship in shaping the public opinion of a group, and in con- sciously undertakes the development of intelligent initia- tive as a means of social progress. So, agriculture, sometimes regarded as a prosaic, hum-drum occupation offering no opportunities for advance- ment, really presents many excellent chances for self- education ajia self-promotion for the ambitious, fore- sighted young man. 4 H ;. • : I V v • ) I I (CAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the members of the 1954 class of the Bellows Falls High School, in the county of Windham and state of Vermont, being in sound mind and body, and'considering the uncertainty of this frail and transitory life, do make, ordain, publish and decla re this to be our last will and testament.
