Clark It was with deep regret that the students of Deerfield High learned of the resignation of Mrs. Clark in December. Her devotion to the highest ideals in the education of Deerfie1d's young people will serve as an inspiration for years to come. 6 ,gf-fx , QD Sp-f Q-' 1 Z if QQ ff .wx X X K I ii ei X R all 511- i g k 'E Q Mix A if X fwqg-E-S , Y K ' I i BAR H, 'N151Gf:uL-T'-JKQEEX L X Nxt tgitxnkxifl 3 NE.X'2 ,VM 14, f My EA, f- sh? .-.J- X X ki A11 Z f ' f X S fdvpf.. r L XXX? x1 RAYMOND HOWARD BOYDEN ,,.l'L '.3,?ir' : A -5 'fa 5. we ,, Conway Agriculture scRayss ffrhe 1-ight man in the 1-ight place Honors: F.F.A. 1, 25 Vice-president 35 Secretary 45 Junior Fair 35 Junior Prom 35 Shop club 2, 35 Sportsman's club 45 Football 3, 45 Arrow 45 F.F.A. 35 Banquet 25 Tractor club 3, 45 F.F.A.

Zeke! Have a seat. You know, I was just thinking back over our high school days. Didn't we have fun! Zeke Pelosky--- Boy! I'll say. Remember in our Freshman year, Bill and Darrell were the only Freshmen out for football? Patsye -Yes, but Darrell broke his nose and couldn't finish the season, and Bill was the only Freshman to receive a letter. Tell me, Zeke, who were our class oflicers that year? Zeke-Well, Darrell was presidentg Barbara, vice-presidentg Janet Ware, secretary, and Eleanor, treasurer. Patsy-Oh! Yes, and Dotty was chosen Freshman cheerleader, and weren't you in the Dramatic club play, Here Comes Patricia ? Zeke-Yes, and so were Eleanor and Sue Brown. They did a wonderful job. Bill and Steve went out for basketball. They played in several of the second team games. Patsy-Quite a few of us girls went out for basketball. Let's see, there were Maggie, Jean, Eleanor, Jane, Barbara, Sue Brown and I. Zeke-Remember the Good Government Day Program in our Freshman year? Darrell and Bill were elected senators, while Hally and Sue Brown were representatives. Then in our Senior year, Hally took all the honors as senator in Boston. Zeke-Look who's coming in! Why hello, Hally. We haven't seen you for ages. Halbert Shumway-Hi there! You look as though you've been having a good time. What's up? Patsy -We've just been discussing our high school days. We sure have some wonderful memories. I5 Hally-Remember our Sophomore year, Zeke? You had the lead in Almost Eighteen. Zeke-Sure, and Jane and Sue Brown were in that play, too. That was great fun. Patsy-Weren't you the class president that year, Hally? Hally-Yes, Maggie was vice-president, Clark was secretary, and you were treasurer, Patsy. Zeke-You were chosen for the first team cheerleader that year, weren't you Patsy? Patsy-Yes, and Maggie was chosen for the second team. Hally-Bill and Darrell received D's for football in their Sophomore year. Patsy-You and Bill and Steve also played Junior Varsity basketball that year. Zeke-More fun! Guess a lot of girls went out for basketball that year, too. Hally-Let's see. There were Maggie, Patsy, Barbara on the varsity. Patsy-Excuse me, Hally, but look who just came in. Hi, Eleanor. Where have you been keeping yourself? Eleanor Nieskoski-Hi there. I've been working. Zeke-Maybe you can help us out. We were just trying to remember who went out for basketball on the girl's team in our Sophomore year. Eleanor-Let's see. There were Sue Brown, Dotty, Rose, Jean, and I. Patsy-That's right. I remember now. Hally to Eleanor-You, Zeke, Jean, Lois, and John MacIntosh were in the play, Gone With the Girls, in our Junior year-weren't you? Eleanor-Yes, shortly after that John left school. There quite a few others who left during that year, also. Hally-Sue Brown, Robert Lively, Robert St. Hilaire, Gerald Hicks, and Marilyn Leavitt left that year. Patsy-And Maggie Plante left for St. Ann's Academy and Pat Martell joined our class from a school in Vermont. I' Zeke-I was vice-president that yearg don't forget that. Hally-I was treasurer, Marilyn Leavitt was secretary, and John MacIntosh was president. Eleanor-And Hally, Patsy, and John Macintosh were on the Student Council. Patsy-Our boys made a good showing in football that year. Maybe 'cause you were on the team that year, Zeke. Zekee-No doubt. Of course, I had a little assistance from Bill, Ray, Donald Patnode, and Frank. Remember we had our first football game right after the Class Fair. Hally-And the Junior girls won the Intramural Volleyball and Basketball tournaments that year, remember? Eleanor and Patsy-You bet they did! Eleanor-You and Darrell, Steve, and Bill also received letters for Varsity football. Hally-And the girls receiving them that year were Patsy, Jean, Rose, Maggie, Bar- bara, Pat, and Beverly Maynard. Patsy-Didn't Barbara make a sweet queen at the prom? Zeke-You bet! Patsy--When I think of all the time we put in decorating the gym! Hally-It was worth it, though. Eleanor-Oh yes, I'll say it was. Patsy-Ah, but our Senior year was best of all. Eleanor-Quite a few of the boys went out for football didn't they? Zeke-There were Bill, Harold, Ray, Eddie, Larry, Darrell, Frank, Pee Wee, Steve, and Zeke. Hally-Weren't Jean and Marion funny as old maids in the Inner Wi1ly ? Patsy-They were good, but don't you think the cheerleaders did a wonderful job this year, too. Eleanor-Oh yes! You were a cheerleader weren't you, Patsy? Patsy-Yes, Jean, Dotty, and Jane were on the team, also. I6 Hally-Who went out for basketball that year? I know you did, Zeke. Zeke-Let me see. Hally, Larry, Eddie, Bill, Steve, and Pee Wee all played. Patsy-And Hally, you were our Senior class president. Hally-Yes, Bill was vice-president, Pat, treasurer, and Jane secretary. Eleanor-Remember the three one-act plays? Patsy-I was in the Day After Forever. Marion, Pat, Eddie, and Larry were in Two Crooks and a Lady, and Harold, Dotty, and Jean were in Apple for the Teacher. Eleanor-And then came the Senior Reception, Alumni Banquet, and the class picnic. But the biggest event of the year was graduation. ELM flfllfl' On January 4, 1975, our family moved to the very small but well-known town of Deerfield. The house we bought was located on North Main Street and not very far from Deerfield High School. One day we were storing some of our furniture in the attic, and we came upon a very old trunk. With curiosity we opened the trunk, and on the top lay a very old, yellow, musty piece of paper. We unfolded the paper and read: We, the class of 1952, being of sound minds and bodies, do hereby leave the follow- ing to our friends, buddies, and otherwise, namely, teachers: To Mr. Osborne we leave a good luck charm which we know will aid him in trying to please everyone interested in the plans for the new gym. To Miss Harris we leave a giant-size hair net so that her hair will not blow in all directors when she is cruising along in her Ford convertible. To Miss Brown we leave a supersonic jet so she will not have any difficulties get- ting to and from Amherst. To Mr. Tinker we leave Bobby Sodoski to give the driver education students driving lessons. To Mr. Manns we leave a long list of available babysitters. To Mr. Keniston we leave a book of Shakespeare's plays which we are sure he will make good use of with next year's seniors. To Mr. Frigard we leave a book of girls' basketball rules so that when he is teaching the grammar school girls how to play basketball, he will teach them the girls' rules and not the boys'. To Mrs. Decker we leave a drinking fountain she can place in the singing room so she will be able to watch all members of the Glee Club who take so long in getting a drink of water. To Mr. Owers and Mr. Wolfram we leave the parts of a car and tractor so the Aggie boys will have more experience putting these together. To Mr. Gable we leave a bottle of turpentine so that when the art students spatter paint on themselves they won't have to use sand paper. To Miss Maiewski we leave an extension 'phone to put in her oflice so she will not have to walk so far every time she has to make a phone call. To Miss Deros we leave a helicopter for her convenience in making weekend trips to New York. To Miss Peterson we leave a rose, a token of gratitude and thanks for all she has done for our class. To Mrs. LaPlante we leave a walkie-talkie, so that during her free periods she may easily get in touch with her husband. Barbara Farrick leaves a package of gum which is sure to aid Jeannette Radowicz in replacing her as champion gum-chewer of D. H. S. Harold Childs leaves to Jim Konvelski his car to take over the taxi service for students at noon hour on North Main Street. I7 Pat Martell leaves her long fingernails to Nancy Maynard, hoping Nancy will keep them as long and pretty as Pat has. Robert Rodovich and Ray Boyden, because of difllculties in associating the correct name with the correct face, decided to settle the matter once and for all by giving each of the Warger Twins a number plate from each of their cars. Stephen Savinski leaves to Connie Zukowski an alarm clock, hoping Connie will never be late for morning exercises as he always has been. Bill Thompson leaves his split personality to Ronald Rup, hoping he won't be quite so serious. Richard Peloski leaves a pair of handcuffs to Floyd Rose and Ruth Smith, hoping they will always be together as he and Barb have been. Shirley Dorey leaves to Bonnie Wrobleski a piece of dy paper, hoping Bonnie will have as many boys stick to it as Shirley has had. Allan Bridges leaves to Eddy Pelis all the screws he has taken out of the desks at D. H. S. trusting, of course, Eddy will put them back. Jane Newcomb leaves a pair of knitting needles and a ball of yarn to Nancy Far- rick, hoping that Nancy will sit down long enough to knit a few stitches. Irene Sklepowicz leaves her roller skates to Lucy Nartowicz so Lucy can take up this activity where Inky has lefty off. Clark Bridges leaves his date book to Charles Parker, hoping Charlie will make more use of it. Halbert Shumway leaves a car spring to Tony Bechta. Halbert says this will come in handy if Tony ever decides to take a gang of kids down to Graves' after a basketball game. Dorothy Podleseney leaves her secret formula on how to make a new-type lipstick to Pat Sauter. Marion Kelleher leaves a very long list of books she has read to Joanne Korzan, knowing Joanne will get as much enjoyment out of reading them as she has. Carol J enney bequeaths her blonde hair to Arlene Bostley. Larry Rura wills his collection of comic books to John Record, advising Johnny not to read them in study hall. Patsy Cuff leaves her flashy basketball socks to Alice Boyden who, Patsy knows, will make good use of them. Eddy Dorey leaves his unfinished model airplane to Stanley Bozek, wishing Stanley would finish it before he graduates. Edith Chadwick leaves her collections of pencils to Skippy Sklepowicz who seems to be minus a pencil in every class. Jean Konvelski leaves a megaphone full of cheerleading talent to Joyce Pielock in hopes that Joyce will become as full of vim and vigor as she is. Darrell Brown leaves a checker board and checkers to Eddy Zdanowicz, hoping Eddy will become as good a checker player as he is. Rose Pos wills her pillow to William Lankarge. Rose thinks this will aid William if he decides to take the driving course at school. Lois Dwight leaves the rest of her garlic-flavored gum to Barbara Charsky. Don't forget, Barbara, if any one asks you if you have any gum, hand him a piece of this, and they won't chew gum for a long while. Eleanor Nieskoski wills the license she received from Sears and Roebuck to Jackie Darr. This gives Jackie the right to drive a nail anywhere he wants to. Frank McMillen wills to Guy Hosley a gadget from his car, hoping Guy will be able to find some place to put it, as Frank's car is too decked out. Peter Liguz bequeaths his quietness in study halls to Malcolm Strippe. In witness whereof, we, the class of 1952, do unto this set out hand and seal, this eighteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and fifty-two. Signed Jean Konvelski Edward Dorey Witnesses: Katzanjamer Kids Elmer Fudd I8 675111 glzoflfieay As chief of loony emcees in the country, I had an engagement to entertain the inmates of the Sunnie Side Institution for the Insane. When I got there, I was directed to the office of the head nurse. She introduced herself as Lois Dwight. Lois was an old classmate of mine whom I never would have known with all that gray hair and all those wrinkles. She told me it would be best to take a walk around the building before I began my show. I followed her down a long hallway until we came to a door. It sounded as if someone were singing, so we stopped and went in. You could have knocked me over with a feather because there, in the middle of the room stood Pat Cuff, Marion Kelleher, and Dorothy Podlesney singing their hearts out to Sweet Adeline. Over in the corner Hallie Shumway was beating out some boogie woogie on a piano. They used to be a very famous team and had given concerts all over the world. We left that room and went on to the next, where we found Pat Martell, formerly a famous model, trying on one of Jane Newcomb's creations. Jane, a former Paris dress designer, was busy making straight jackets. Out in the hall, who should I see but Rose Pos, the founder of the World's Largest Elevator Shoe Company. I guess her shoes weren't high enough for she was on stilts. As I was standing there thinking about what I had just seen, I heard a terrific noise. I stepped back just in time to avoid being run down by Edward Dorey, the former winner of the Indianapolis Speed-Way Race, driving a kiddie car. Further down the hall, in a large room, I saw Carol Jenney, the biologist, trying to catch something in a butterfly net. The only trouble was, there wasn't anything around to catch. Over in one corner of the room, standing on a chair, was Edith Chadwick, the writer of the book, Poems by Chadwick, reciting each of her poems to the wall. As I turned to the left, I saw Robert Rodovich cutting out paper dolls. Bob used to be a famus painter and sculptor. Frank McMillen, the former animal trainer and owner of the McMil1en Six-Ring Circus, was standing with a chair in one hand and a whip in the other, trying to make a table stand on one leg. I glanced over to the opposite end of the room and who should I see but those Yankee Greats, Stephen Savinski, and Bill Thompson. Bill was winding up to throw an invisible baseball to Stephen. It was rumored that he had pitched nothing but no- hitters since his arrival. Ray Boyden was pacing back and forth in front of a long table saying, I think farmers should get a dollar and a half for tobacco this year and cucumbers should be twenty dollars a thousand. Evidently his position as Secretary of the Department of Agriculture had been too great a strain. Suddenly I heard shots. Rushing from a room was F. B. I. agent Barbara Farrick running down some imaginary gangsters with a cap gun. I turned a corner, and who did I see but Harold Childs, one-time Heavy-Weight Boxing Champ of the World, having a fifteen-round match with his shadow which seemed to be eluding him somehow. At that moment ex-airplane hostess Jean Konvelski burst into the room with her arms out-stretched, shouting, Fasten your safety belts! Fasten your safety belts! Fasten your safety belts! When we reached the next room, I saw Irene Sklepowicz fixing her beautiful hair. It didn't look like a poodle or one of those horse-tails, but perhaps she was trying one of the older styles that she specialized in when she owned a chain of Beauty Parlors. In the same room was Eleanor Nieskoski standing before an imaginary micro- phone. She looked very intent while describing what sounded like a boxing match. Eleanor had won several trophies as the foremost woman sports-caster in the world. Peter Liguz was industriously trying to plow up the floor with a toy plow and tractor which he held in his hand. He told me he had a few customers interested in buying machinery, so he was demonstrating for them. You see, Pete was once the owner of a Farm Implement Factory. I9 Standing in the corner was Larry Rura telling jokes to a few of the inmates. Larry knew a lot of them, for he was once one of Bob Hope's script writers. Clark Bridges, founder and former head of a large library, was giving a stern lecture on books school pupils should read. Lois now informed me that we had only a few more places to see and then I could plan my entertainment. As we walked down the corridor toward the kitchen I saw someone who had almost been forgotten. Nevertheless, it was Shirley Dorey, walking down the hall with a huge sun flower in her hat. Evidently, her millinery work had gone to her head! In the kitchen sat Allen Bridges peeling potatoes. It was rumored he had a special contact in the government to whom he had sold all his potato crops. On our way back to the oflice we passed through the waiting room and there on the floor was Richard Pelosky wearing a tuxedo and derby hat, sitting in a pile of one hundred fake dollar bills. No one knows how he got it, but I happened to think at the time, the police never did discover who was responsible for the Brink robbery. After seeing all my old pals in such a woeful state, I did my best to cheer them by putting on a play called The Good Old Days at Deerfield. This, I do prophecy for the graduating class of 1952 of Deerfield High School, on the eighteenth day of June, nineteen hundred and fifty-two.

Once a boy becomes a member of the Shop Club, he should show by his conduct and by the type of work he does that he is able to benefit by the training he receives.

As the football season rolled around again, there was a large number of candidates out for the team. Four games were scheduled, and the season ended with one victory and three defeats. One of the most interesting and thrilling moments of play came when Deerfield held the Arms team on the one yard line for four plays without a score. Deerfield Visitors 13 Mt. Hermon 6 0 Arms 26 7 Orange 25 0 Williamstown 33 60 CHEERLEADERS First row, left to right: Jane Newcomb, Joyce Pielock, Dorothy Podlesney, Barbara Sodoski, Grace McMillen. Second row: Miss Peterson, Nancy Maynard, Jean Konvelski, Patricia Cuff, Nancy Farrick, Theresa Pielock. The cheerleaders, under the able direction of Miss Peterson, were as snappy and full of pep as usual this year. The main event of the year was the cheering tournament at Spencer which meant long hours of drill at noon and after school. The blue and gold clan used a large facsimile of a Time Magazine cover to carry out their tournament theme. The group has really proved that practice makes perfect. bl BOYS' BASKETBALL First row, left to right: Managers, Robert Dodge and Lewis Harris. Second row: Edward Zdanowicz, Chester Wysk, Richard Pelosky, Stephen Savinski, William Thompson, Charles Vickowski, Walter Sklepowicz. Third row: Mr. Manns, Anthony Bechta, Ronald Rup, Donald Vickowski, Robert Rodo- vich, Francis Rodovich. This year the Deerfield High hoopsters and their new coach, Mr. Manns, had to build a new team, as most of the varsity of a year ago had graduated. The team this year, which was made up of the J. V. team of a year ago, could not match other teams with veteran players back. As a result, the team had a record of five wins and fifteen defeats, but began to show strength toward the end of the season. The record of the team is as follows: Deerfield Visitors 25 Turners Falls 31 32 Hopkins 51 21 Greenfield 55 59 Orange 54 30 So. Hadley 51 38 Amherst 69 53 Smith Academy 57 57 Arms 42 31 St. Michae1's 45 64 Smith School 55 62 GIRLS' BASKETBALL First row, left to right: Lucy Nartowicz, Patricia Martell, Nancy Maynard, Patricia Cuff, Jean Konvelski, Barbara Farrick, Nancy Farrick, Alice Boyden, Rose Pos. Second row: Miss Deros, Virginia Dudek, Anna Paciorek, Mary Lou Malinowski, Marion Kelleher, Eleanor Nartowicz, Betty Wysinski, Frances Zdanowicz, Dorothy Podlesney. Third row: Joyce Pielock, Grace McMillen, Carol Scott, Jane Newcomb, Nancy Mor- rissey, Joanne Korzan, Monique Plante, Maryanne Weston. This year, the girls' basketball squad, coached by Miss Deros, had a large turn-out of candidates. The Varsity, composed of Juniors and Seniors, won three games, lost six, and tied one. High scorer for the season was Nancy Farrick, Letters were awarded, upon completion of the schedule, to the following Seniors: Barbara Farrick, Jean Konvelski, Jane Newcomb, Rose Pos, Patricia Martell, Patricia Cuff, and Dorothy Podlesney. manager. Juniors receiving letters were: Nancy Farrick, Nancy Maynard, Alice Boyden and Lucy Nartowicz. 63 , s N my 1 if 8 O 4-of 1951 CHEERLEADERS' TOURNAMENT The above cheerleaders proudly displayed their emotions and their trophy as the announcement came that first prize went to Deerfield High School in the Spencer Cheerleading Tournament in 1951. The ten girls took first prize in Class I before 1200 spectators in Spencer's Memorial Town Hall to win a trophy offered by the Worcester Telegram and The Evening Gaz- ette. North Brookfield took second prize in Class I. Feature of the gold and blue-clad girls' act was performed as the cheerleaders popped from four large soda bottles. Led by Co-Captains Raffa and Boro, the team climaxed its performance with a cheer: With a hi-dee-hi and ho-dee-ho, Deerfield's on the go. ..--or-- ,L 64 Xl XQJN!

The books were laid on the table with care, In hopes that some knowledge Would come from there. The child were wracking Their brains, feven in bedl, While visions of zeros Danced through their heads. And mom in her kerchief, And dad with his strap, Were standing and waiting, Behind my back. When out on the lawn, There arose such a clatter, I dropped all my books To see what was the matter. The cat and the dog, Were having a spat, How could anyone study With a clatter like that? The moon on the crest, Of the newfallen snow, Gave the luster of mid-day, To objects below. When what to my wondering eyes should appear, But our frisky young neighbor, With his head not quite clear. He was swinging around, And seemed so full of cheer, He neglected the clothes-line, 'Til 'twas wrapped 'round his ear. But I heard him exclaim, As he staggered into the night, To heck with tomorrow, Let's have fun tonight! Maryanne Weston A CONTRAST Now, the ideal student gets up at seven, While most of the others would try eleven. He combs his hair and shines his shoes, While most of the others go off with the blues. He tips his hat to the passers-by While most of the others would say, My eye! He studies his lessons and pays attention, While most of the others start paying detention. He makes all the teachers feel younger and gay, While most of the others would fool all day. He stands aside to let the girls pass, While most of the others just look on and laugh. But when he goes home with that smile on his face, I'm sure he's done nothing that is a disgrace. Monique Plante TURKEY GOBBLER Turkey gobbler big and brown Yellow legs and bright red crown, Bright black eyes and fancy tail, At twenty pounds you tip the scale. Just enough for Thanksgiving dinner, Please keep eating-don't get thinner. Stanley Skorulski MARCH 21 Spring, my dear, has come at last, And soon the boys their reels will cast. People hurry here and there, For they smell spring, high in the air. Flowers are blooming, leaves are budding, Everyone for spring is yearning. Everything will soon be bright, For spring is such a lovely sight. Children love this season best, 'Cause birds begin to build their nests, Everyone should be very gay, For spring begins this very day. Betty Wysinski Class '55 JOSEPHINE I knew a girl named Josephine, She's the strangest girl I've ever seen. She never did her homework. She really had a pretty smile, You'd like to watch her all the while, but- She never did her homework. Though she had a personality, She was full of much rascalityg and- She never did her homework. She's out of school, and a woman grown, Has children, and a home, her own- Now she always does her homework. Cheryl Wolfram SI'RlNGTIME'S MY CHOICE When the snow has gone at last, You can be sure winter's past. Now the beauties of life will soon appear: Soon you'll say, Why, Spring is here! Muddy puddles of water are seen With islands of grass that are green, And in the fields, to your surprise The beauties of nature will arise. And throughout the land people rejoice And will exclaim, Springtime's my choice. Ronald Patterson LIFE CAN BE BEAUTIFUL There was an unfortunate young man Who came from the state of Tibet. If you think you have troubles, You haven't heard anything yet! First of all came Xerasia CThat's a disease of the hair.l Next came his unwonted amnesia Which was something he could not bear. Third came his mental lesion Which doctors call aphasia Then he was in quite a condition When he discovered he had phegmasia! If it weren't for all the new medicines He'd be riding in a hearse. Now he's happy he had all his mishaps 'Cause he's married to his nurse! Patricia Cuff CLASS POEM Our final day is drawing near, Our four years will soon be ending, Then out into the world we go, Upon life's roadway wending. Though there be a sadness of farewell, A dimness of the eye, We leave the happy days we spent, With you, dear Deerfield High. For you, our Alma Mater, In the recess of each heart, Will be a place you'll always fill, Never to depart. So we bid a fond farewell, Adieu to one and all, Facing bravely on life's road, Whatever may befall. Edith Chadwick A CHASE IN THE NIGHT Darkness, darkness, pitch black darkness, Not long before the dawn, I stood alone on the cold stone walk, As the city slumbered on. But no, I wasn't alone that night, For as I looked down the block, I saw a shadowy figure move, Along the cold stone walk. I started walking up the street, First slow, then rapidly, When I glanced back, my heart stopped short, 'Cause that man was following me. A streak of fear shot through me, For my doom was sure in sight. But how did that man find out, I had beat the dice this night? Across Elm, up Morgan, and Madison Square Until my house I see, But the man was getting closer, closer, Catching up to me. I flew up my walk, onto the porch Where I stumbled on some chairs, And just as I had found the door, I heard his footsteps on the stairs. I turned the knob, the door was locked, I fumbled for the latch, That man then grasped my coat and said, Hey, Bub, got a match? Halbert Shumway '52 HOLLY FAIRIES The green and red holly Is shining and jolly And hides us from everyone's glanceg We wait under berries Like well-behaved fairies Until we're alone: then we dance. Whenever we're able, We show that the fable About holly fairies is true: We scatter the blessing Of joy we're expressing, Yet keep ourselves hidden from view. Bill Baranoski Tune: Aura Lee CLASS SONG fVersei With our chorus as we sing, Let our voices swell. Let the song we sing tonight Love and honor tell. Chorus Voices blend, join the song, Praise to Deerfield High, Tell her story down the years: Praise her to the sky. fVersel Softly falls the evening now, Softly fall the years, Smiling greet the coming day When the dawn appears. Chorus Deerfield High! Deerfield High! Hail! to her this day We raise once more the old, old song And go our shining way. Halbert Shumway and Dorothy Podlesney CHRISTMAS TIME Rejoice, 'tis the season of loving, The beautiful season of giving, The wish every spirit is moving, To make richer and brighter our living, With the love of Christmas time. We tell once again the sweet story, Of the Child of the promise so holy, Whose life was a mission of glory, Who alike blessed the lofty and lowly, With the joy of Christmas time. Ann Podlesney THANKSGIVING Thanksgiving brings me pleasant thoughts, Of pumpkin pies and apple tarts, Oh! for the goodies there are in store, I wish I could eat a whole lot more. But best of all for the turkey and stuffing, And then for the tummy-ache, And I'm not bluffing. Joyce Warger SEA SONG Hark, and hear the roaring waves Rising, crashing to shore, The constant, rhythmic, beating drum. Like some great hoof on moor. Lashing, dashing, rolling on Toward rocks and cliffs and sands. Challenging like steeds of yore, Driven on by unseen hands. They rise and roar and scream their rage, Strike sharply out before. Then suddenly as if strength were spent Slip gently seaward once more. Jane Newcomb Spring It's here again! Spring is here in all its glory, its vibrant beauty, and its promise of things to come. Birds, bees, flowers, and the green grass, all fill the air with their bright colors, and aroma. The whole country seems new, different, alive, and fills me with a hope that this new season will bring each of us that which we have longed for in the secret chambers of our hearts. Spring means different things to different people. Some see the promise of a life hereafter in the renewal of nature after the bleak death of winter. To others it is God's reward for having withstood the rigors and denials of the preceding season. Yes, each of us sees in this, the most glorious, glamorous, desirable of seasons, something which gives him new faith, hope, and interest in life. Spring to me means each of these things. It inspires me, lifts my soul, makes me see that there is hope that some day we may have a complete termination of the strife and wars which have plagued the world. There is a promise that our peoples can relax. forget the threat of bombings, high taxes, rotten politics, crime and corruption, and settle down to the business of living. Spring wipes out the ugliness of winterg so may it be that this spring will bring with it out of all that is ugly the permanent appearance of the beauty which all of us have so long desired. Rose Olson In the Hills of Olde New England One of the most interesting places in Deerfield is the Memorial Hall. Guides take many tourists through here every day. The first room one sees is a room full of arrowheads used by the Indians who used to occupy Deerfield. In the center of another room is a table set with old-fashioned pewter, knives and spoons. Upstairs is a room containing old British uniforms which interests the boys. The room in which girls linger, contains many beautiful dresses of Colonial times. There are also baby clothes and a wedding gown. Shelves along the wall are covered with ladies' hats. Also upstairs, is a complete playroom of Colonial days. The last room one enters contains the old door of the Indian House, through which the mistress of the house was shot and killed by Indians. Nearby is the fatal bullet. Other places of interest in Deerfield are the Frary House, The Indian House, and the Deerfield Tavern. The Frary House also contains Colonial curiosities. Each room is as it would have been in Colonial days. The ballroom is especially interesting. Deerfield, however, is not merely a place of historical interest. Its beauty in the spring is surpassed by few other towns. I'm sure the inhabitants will agree when I say, There isn't any place I'd rather be other than 'in the hills of old New England'. Avis Sumner THE IDEAL STUDENT There is a small high school, called Deerfield High, situated in the town of Deer- field. It is an average country high school of one hundred and fifty students. In this brick, ivy-covered building, one might find the ideal student. This boy or girl is, without doubt, the most popular pupil in school. He should be, for isn't he always amicable and co-operative? He displays his friendliness when a new student comes to school by forming acquaintances and making the newcomer feel welcome. He shows his co-operativeness by working well with others, expressing his opinion when asked, and perhaps agreeing to a compromise. He may not be a star athlete, but he shows his loyalty to the team as an enthusiastic fan. He is faithful to the teachers and himself as well in preparing assignments on time. This pupil is also honest, takes punishment when due without complaining, and accepts only the credit he earns. Although he possesses a sense of humor, he is not a silly person. One of his outstanding traits is his dependability, for he is always ready to perform any task and is available to help others at any time. It is not necessarily the brilliant pupil who succeeds, but the one wno does his best in whatever he attempts.
