The frost is painting pictures On trees in colors fine. The ghostly goblins ride their brooms; And wild geese pass unseen. For, lo; the scampering squirrel Brings us to Hallowe’en. Barbara Allen 51 SPRING DRIVER TRAINING For his last printed word on the editorial page, this editor, before leaving G. H. S., would like to enter a plea for the speedy com¬ mencement of driver training in this school. As the writer is graduating from G. H. S. and could in no way reap the benefits to be derived from such a course, he feels free to state his position in the matter. The cost of such a course would be nominal. The car would be sold to the town for one dollar. A new auto shop with adequate personnel would be available to maintain it. An instructor is already available. The few hundred dollars required to pay an instructor and purchase replacement parts would be more than offset by an overall saving in property damage to say nothing of personal injury and death. Three billion dollars are lost every year through motor vehicle accidents; there are fifty million operators in the nation. Simple arithmetic tells us that the pro rata individual driver’s share of this annual national garage bill is sixty dollars. By inaugurating driver training, and by cutting down on acci¬ dents, the citizens of the community would save more than the amount put into the project. Someone will say, Wha t proof have you that the motor vehicle accident rate will be reduced?” We would answer that the American Automobile Association, in care¬ fully controlled checks, has shown that the accident rate among trained drivers is 50% less than that of untrained drivers. It may appear rather materialistic to think of the issue of driver training in terms of dollars and cents alone; it is obvious that the main purpose is the saving of human lives. In 1948, 32,000 per¬ sons were killed in traffic accidents. The appalling number of 1.000,000 were injured, 100,000 of them permanently. Current national publications are filled with articles on Teeni- cides.” These articles point out all too graphically the horrible potential which exists when untrained youth and the automobile are paired off. This writer cannot urge too strongly the adoption of a driver training program. It cannot be assumed that all young people who drive are going to receive skillful training elsewhere. Here is a chance to train properly many of those who otherwise would not have the advantage of personal, professional instruction. Oh; what a beautiful morning. The busy bees are buzzing Tunes that make you Wan I to sing. A bre|eze is drifting Through the air, Bringing with it The pungent scent of Spring. Anne Hamer ' 51 ASSEMBLY The hall is silent. Suddenly the band Strikes up a stirring, rhythmic, martial strain, And then, as if some superhuman hand Were tipping over barrels filled with rain, The crown begins to pour into the hall. They throng through every door, down every stair, They come from cracks and cran¬ nies in the wall, Up through the floor—in fact, from everywhere. One runs ahead to giggle with a friend, While others are content to sit and smile. The boldest jostle forward to con¬ tend For much-disputed seats upon the aisle. Oh, surely by no ordinary means Could all these come so quickly from their rooms; They must arrive on flying jet machines Or whiz in here on countless magic brooms. FOREVER ONWARD Tomorrow evening, June 20, 1950, will usher in the beginning of a new era of our lives. At long last our high-school years will be behind us; the entire world with all its opportunities lies stretched But, through this wondrous scene gives rise to doubt, It ' s nothing when compared with going out. Pauline Bibby ’51 out before us.. Yes, in this land of freedom the entire world lies before young people who desire to succeed in it. What a wonderful thought this is! In no other nation on earth can a young person have so many opportunities as here in America. With these great vistas opeining before us it is vital that we take care as to what field of work we shall enter; it is very import¬ ant that we set a goal for ourselves and continually strive to attain it. It does not seem necessary to tell why a definite goal in life is necessary; the reason appears to be so obvious. How can one succeed in this fast-moving world with competition on every side if he does not at every minute fix his gaze on one desired achieve¬ ment and work toward it? ■ Of course this goal should not be set too high; discouragement would be the only result. Rather, this goal should be subdivided; one should advance toward it a step at a time. One can not expect to realize all of his ambitions as soon as he leaves the auditorium on graduation night. Finally, let us not be discouraged at our difficulties. These are to be expected. There were certainly difficulties encountered during these past school years. At times, maybe some of us felt we would never graduate. Yet, these difficulties have been overcome by sincere effort on our own part, and we have finally reached our first goal. So will it be in the years to come. But let us remember always that we have the power to overcome our difficulties; let us enter the world with determination to reach a fixed goal and to strive for that same goal until it is attained.

As they entered the lovely living room filled with beautiful fragile objects artistically arranged in every available spot, the boy ex¬ claimed. “Oh, Mother: Look at all the pretty no-no ' s. SMART LAD A couple couldn ' t find a baby sitter the other night, so they talked their son, Junior, 9, into sitting for himself. “We’ll pay you 50 cents an hour,” his father explained, and time and a half for overtime. Overtime will start when you go to bed. Just as the parents got to their party, Junior phoned that he was ' in bed and starting on overtime. LITTLE ONES LEARN QUICKLY Mother was absent from the even¬ ing meal, so Dorothy, aged seven, sat in her chair and pretended to take her place. The child ' s solemn assumption of matronly airs an¬ noyed her brother, who challenged her position with the remark: so you’re mother tonight? Well, if you’re mother, tell me—how much is six times nine? Calmly and without hesitation. Dorothy retorted, “I’m busy, ask your father, SUCH IS LIFE There is a wonderful example in the life of an ant, began an un¬ suspecting kindergarten teacher. Every day the ant goes to work and works all day. Every day the ant is busy. And in the end what happens? That ' s easy. Someone steps on him, replied a little pupil, promptly. PRESIDENTS ADDRESS With this issue of the “Exponent we conclude our “very enjoyable stay here at G.H.S. Before we do anything else, we want to thank all our staff members who helped in any way on our issues; Mr. Taylor and his boys in the print shop for their fine efforts to get this paper out on time (in spite of us!); and, finally, Mr. Hubbard, whose few remaining hairs have turned a little bit whiter during the past year. It certainly doesn ' t seem that this year is over at last. Of course, the most exciting moment, for tjie seniors, still remains. Just think how much money our class could make if we charged seventy-five cents a seat! We certainly hope all of you enjoy the “Emerald, a booklet which is given away (for S3.00) with this issue of the “Exponent. After all the work done on it, it’s certainly good to read the finished (?) product. By the way, this would be a very good place to give some credit where it is due: The cover of the Emerald was designed by Jane Crepeau; Joe Johnson originated the idea of the drawings in the activities section; the idea of the light and dark type in the senior section is credited to Jane Crepeau; and the art stages were created by Bernard Ethier, Mr. Adams, Richard Stone, and their committee. Before saying goodbye, we want to wish Ronald Hall and his staff thy best of success on the Exponent” next year. We are certain that the new staff will do a great piece of work— or elsel That’s all for now. Here’s wishing all our readers the best of luck in the years ahead. j RITA’S ! Ice Cream i! Candy ! O ' gggggggggggggggggggggge Parents, Teachers, Classmates: Generation after generation of graduating classes have expressed words of praise and gratitude towards our parents and teachers, who have successfully guided us to the finish of our course of education in Greenfield High School, but no matter how hard we try, we can never really do justice towards both. We realize how many sacrifices our parents have made for us and how hard our teachers have labored to prepare us for the future, and many of us feel that you, our parents and teachers, should be honored here in our place. Any gains we are attributed in the future, we can more than partially thank these same teachers and parents. On behalf of this class, 1 want to sincerely thank you, and to express my appre¬ ciation to you, in hopes that we do credit to you in future years. I know we all feel what words cannot express. Classmates: We have come a long way together, and all have had experiences in G. H. S., which we will continually relive in the future. No matter where we go, or what we do, there will be nothing material which will be able to take the place of our years in G. H. S. After leaving these halls, we will go our separate ways, but in leaving we will take with us something many of us never fully appreciated before: an appreciation of our teachers, parents, and fellow classmates. It’s going to be hard leaving friends and class¬ mates, but before us is a world which is issuing a challenge which we must tackle and master. If wc should ever come together in the future, I am sure it will be with the same feeling of fellowship towards all.

Class Day Exercises Given By Graduates CLASS SONG Parents and friends are waiting ex¬ pectantly. The dignified strains of Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance by the Greenfield High School Orchestra float over the hushed audience. Then, the class of 1950 march down the aisle. After the class is seated, James 5 ania- topulos delivers the President’s Wel¬ come. After all this ceremony, Stanley Doore and Jane Crepeau liven the atmosphere by reading the Class His¬ tory. Next, Barbara Allen and James Stamatopulos read the Class W ill. A selection is then sung by our baritone, Lawrence Masiello. Later, Eleanor Davenport and Wil¬ liam Hawkins give the Class Prophecy. Then Mr. Watt, Principal, awards the Silver G” pins to deserving students. The class as a body then sing the Class Song by Robert Thrasher. The song is written to the tune of “Red River Valley. Then, they march out of the auditorium to “The Host of Youth,” which is played by the Green¬ field High School Orchestra, and pro¬ ceed to plant the ivy, while singing Louise Richardson ' s ode. Nature Of Class Gift Still In Doubt The possibilities for this year s class gift are varied. It may be a water-cooler, a new flag, or a new trophy case. The chairman of the gift committee, James Phippard, believes we will b e surprised. Edward Keller, Raymond Lindell, Maryanne Rogerson, and William Hawkins are also pondering the problem of a gift. We know whatever they decide is sure to please the school.

As we gather to wish well to true friends, We do promise once more and do pray That, wherever our footsteps shall lead us, From thought of you we’ll never stray. So we now say farewell with this one wish; That perhaps sometime not far away Once again we shall be reunited To relive our work and our play. Robert William.

Hints For Fishermen 1 1 appears that some of our high- school fishermen have been ha ving fairly good luck on their favorite trout streams. Although cold weather during the first two or three weeks of the sea¬ son caused a slack in fishing, warm May and June weather has finally brought the trout out of hiding. Here are a few of the results: Donald Card- well has caught 10, David Fay 5, Bill Martin 11, Edward Mackevich 13, Charlie Gibbs 28. Walter Wandeloski 70, Ray Gagnon 30, Donald Flood 7. Rodney Teronzo 20, and Allen Ter- onzo 30. Now that the weather has become warmer and the streams have lowered. many 1 fishermen have thrown aside their worm cans and now rely wholly upon flies. Because of the lightness of the tackle and of the fact that artificial lures are used, fly fishing has always been considered the most aristocratic method of fishing. There is a certain satisfaction in fooling a fish with a hand tied fly that can’t be appreciated unless you have had this thrilling experience. Catching trout on a fly also requires much more skill than that needed in bait fishing. Fly fishing is a broad subject, but foi the beginner we might take inti - consideration the three general types of flies. The first type is the dry fly, tied to represent adult insects and meant to float on the surface of the water. These are usually cast upstream and Paul “Tracy” Burdick leaves two hundred pounds heavier than when he entered. Ted Croteau leaves his harmonica to Carl Jordan, just in case Carl loses his trumpet. Robert Edmonds leaves one of his two nimble feet to Charlie Harris. “Jimmy” Harris Laves a fleet of foot to John Taylor, in hopes that John will do his share in carrying future athletic teams to victory. Harry Renfrew leaves his job at the First National to anyone who wants it. Joan Osgood leaves her shyness to Ruth Koziski. Phil Sevene leaves his midnight walks to Chris Collins. Shirley Smead leaves her love for the out-of-doors to Barbara Curtis. Priscilla Van Wagner wills her blonde hair and a gallon of peroxide to June Seyfert. Norma Waite leaves her love for college men to Diane Rood. Herbert Warriner leaves his politeness to Mike Gexler. Jean Mosher leaves her ability in public speaking to Marcia Ingham. Lillian Morrell leaves her ability to keep out of trouble to her cousin, Phyllis Nichols. Gene Washer leaves his mechanical ability to Reginald Sey¬ more. Leo Maniatty leaves his afternoon gym periods and guidance classes to Jim Day, who undoubtedly will be in need of them. Lawrence Masiello leaves an unsurpassed record of tardiness to William O’Donnell. John Meyer leaves one or two exasperated teachers. Harry Renfrew leaves ten gross of absence blanks to Nina Daft. Richard Stone leaves his cock-eyed ideas on how to run the school and world to “Butch” Britton, his understudy. John Sadowski leaves his extra book reports to the Eisners. Donald Cardwell leaves without regret. Cynthia Holman leaves her spot in the corridor to Ruth Ethier. Elwin Baker leaves still trying to sell his 1929 Cadillac, (which he bought for $ 26 ,) {-Sr $50. Joseph Johnson leaves his poker face to John Musiak. Erwin Magoon leaves any future upholstering jobs to Brant Robinson. Dorothy Aiken leaves her stenographic ability to Phyllis Bryant. Finally Robert Thrasher leaves the frustrating job of trying to get such things as this will in in time, to some unsuspecting fool of a junior. allowed to float down with the current. Next we have the wet fly. These represent nymphs or insect larvae and sink below the surface. Wet flies are cast across or downstream, allowed to sink a little, and retrieved in a twitch¬ ing motion to imitate an insect swim¬ ming. The last type is bucktails and stream¬ ers. These flies are long and fish-like in shape to represent minnows and are fished in a similar manner to wet flies. The fly used depends on how the trout are feeding. When the fish are rising and jumping to the surface for insects, a dry fly would probably yield the best results. When the fish can be observed feeding on the bottom, a nymph-like fly (wet fly) would be used. Remember also that bass, perch, sun fish, pickerel and many other types of fish can be taken on flies. Of course, the fisherman must have a little knowl¬ edge of such fishes feeding habits in order to be successful in his attempts. Skill in fishing, as in any other sport, is obtained through experience. The more skillful you become, the more fish you will catch. Remember that the fun is in the catching and that it is usually cheaper to buy your fish in the market if all you want is meat. Good luck and “tight lines I L. H.
