C. Cameron: “We talk of choosing a vocation, but often the vocation chooses us. “The work which you are to do may not have appeared on earth yet. Many men high in the automobile world did not know as young men just what they were to be— the automobile world had not yet been born. You may be destined for some sphere of work that is yet to swim into our ken. “But waiting for it is not getting ready for it. You must do what you can. keep learning all you can, buckle into any decent thing that offers—and keep doing something when nothing offers, if only to maintain your standing in the mystical world of work—and then at some turn of the most unpromising road, out of some ambushed hour, there will come an inner ‘click, and you and your work will be together. It s a great experience!. “We have seen so many men quit just before the thing they sought arrived; it came seeking them, and they were not there. They quit too soon; It is always too soon to quit. “You are to be congratulated on vour commencing at a time that challenges your mettle. You are fortunate young people. The future that stands at your threshold promises to treble all present possibilities. We. the faculty and the students of Hartford High School, will miss you and will always be interested in knowing when, where and how you “clicked. Sincerely yours H. C. Holland. Miss Mildred C. Oakes 6DEDICATION To our sponsor whose invaluable aid has given our class greater success in its studies and activities. Mr. M.

We were proud to be a class in Hartford High, even though we were only freshmen. To be sure, we became trampled on, aye, at times almost crushed by those older and wiser than we. We felt confused by the new school life about us—new faces, new teachers, new studies, yea, by all new things! Even the world seemed startlingly new: yet we faced, we believed, a life that would be made worthwhile and lasting. We soon got underway with the aid of our thoughtful teachers, for we could always depend on the faculty for help. Hr. Holland, our principal, was instructor of hoys' biology and social science; Mr. Osgood, mathematics; Mr. Allen, french and history, and director of music; Miss Oakes, English and dramatics; Mr. Saunders, manual arts; Miss Kingsbury and Miss Kelleher, commercial subjects; Miss Young, general mathematics, French 2 and 3, and girls general science; Mr. freitas. hoys general science, world history, physics, physical training, and coach of boys football and baseball teams, and girls’ basketball; Miss Ainsboro, home economics and girls biology; Miss Leach, home economics and chemistry; and Miss Winn, English and Latin. To these teachers we give many thanks for all that they did. One afternoon in September, we gathered for the purpose of electing class officers. For the presidential position was chosen frank DePalo, who did his best to make his year in office a successful one. Ralph Regione became vice president; I’auline Wienka. secretary; and June McGrath, treasurer. John Sawyer later replaced June McGrath, as treasurer, for June along with Dorothy Macf arland, Richard Greenough. and Cleo Newell, left us. To these officers of our first year in Hartford was given the burden of guiding and leading us forward. I heirs was no easy task, but they did it with loyalty and perserverance. Even now we wish to extend our thanks to the class of 36 for the reception they gave us. And what a reception it was! To us it was colossal! We can still see in our mind's eye the big, colorful circus with its vicious wildmen from Borneo, its huge elephants, its daring bicycle riders, its clowns and their stubborn mule, parading around the hall. Yes. that was a circus we shall never forget! We were now, we felt, a real part of Hartford High. It was not many months later that we were given the opportunity to show what dramatic ability we had in store. When the annual Stunt Night affair arrived, we presented a truly beautiful song, entitled Romeo and Juliet . Johanna Orizzonto, Ida Broughton. Howard I ogan, Frank DePalo. Virginia Napolitano, and Ralph Regione were our great vocalists. They were grand! Nor was this all. for our last feature we presented a glorious W estern scene with the red campfire burning. We can hear them now. those harmonious Western melodies poured forth from the arney boys banjo and guitar, and from the harmonicas of Howard Logan and Alexander Kontos. Boys, could they play! The time then came when the prizes were to be awarded. It wasn t so much the money lhat we wanted, but it was the fame that we wished to obtain. What was to be our fate? The sentence as pronounced was the third prize. Well, we did not come in last anyway! I 13] 4 Oil ihe football, basketball, and baseball teams were found several of us tiny freshmen. We did not have many outstanding players at that time, but later on we would show our ability. We were only freshmen; what could anyone expect? Our first year came to an end as all first years do. Nor were w'e entirely original in taking a trip to Lake Morey for a grand finale. There we swam, rowed, and fished in the clear cool waters: there we last “held forth” as a Freshman Class. Sophomore Year In the fall of ’37 we gathered once again to face another year, a year of many changes. We found that many of us needed to change our courses; new subjects in French, world history, bookkeeping, geometry, etc., were offered. Which ones would we take? We were definitely out of the freshmen stage, but we had more confidence in ourselves to forge ahead. We found only one change in the faculty. Miss Van Deusen, a former teacher here, returned and succeeded Miss Winn as the English and Latin teacher. Nor did we have with us any longer Aline Brouilette, Robert Kirkwood, Hilda Judd. Norman Fournier. John A. Sawyer, Jean Jockel, Janies Curtis, and George and Dewey Varney. To our class came Carman Hefflon, from Lebanon; Gregory MeCanna, from New Brunswick, New Jersey; Teresa Jackson, from Windsor; Enid I,eavitt and Lorrain Stockwell, from Quechee; and Armine Wood, from Concord. Ida Broughton and Clifton White left us during this year. (.lass officers were soon elected. Alexander Kontos, our small hut able leader, became president; Ralph Regione, vice-president; Ramona Hathorn, treasurer; and Elaine Mock, secretary. These were the officers of our sophomore year, the chosen ones who surely took responsibility in an efficient and trustworthy manner. Stunt Night approached us for the second time, and we wanted to acquire a higher ranking than that of the prc ious year. But to no avail! Even with our Alexander Kontos, “The Great and Petite,” and Pauline Weinka presiding as the “school mam” of a fantastic school, we were again awarded third prize. Ah! hut the Future, we knew, would be ours! A little later for a real social affair, we gave a “Scavenger Hunt”. And w'hat an affair it was! Looking for bricks, hair pins, old telephone directories, engravings on gravestones, and getting autographs of movie ushers constituted the hunt. Frank DePalo and George Stanley went into the hunt in real fashion and emerged triumphant, winning the grand prize of a box of chocolates. What hunters! What a time! W hat a “Scavenger Hunt!” Many of us, as in our freshman year, went out for the various sports of football, basketball, and baseball. Many were the times that we sat on the bench, looked on. and waited for a chance to get into the games. Signs of improvement brought many into action; in fact three of our classmen, Frank DePalo, Ralph Regione, and Deaii Reyonlds, were placed, at times, on the first team in basketball. Richard Whitney, Alec Kontos, George Stanley, Ric hard Mock. Robert Smith. Lester Jones, and Armand Dionne also showed good promise on the football field. Gregory MeCanna and Thompson Close were promising candidates in baseball. On the girls' basketball team. Helen Jogenson, one of the team’s outstanding players, found a place. Marion Miller and Virginia Napolitano, substitutes, also saw action. We certainly did have many promising athletes, even then. What would they he in two more years? The future would soon tell. ] 14. [ With the passing of sports came graduation of the das of 37, and for this affair a group of us sophomores were chosen to don party gowns and Sunday suits to act as ushers. As the seniors inarched down the aisle, we knew that another parting had arrived, and that before us were still two unconquered years. Junior Year In September, 1938, we returned to enjoy our third year at Hartford. It was good to he hack and see familiar faces once again. To our class we were pleased to welcome, Hally Littlefield, from Concord; Gerald Tenney, from Randolph; Bella Corbin, from Lewiston, Maine; Erva Doyle, from Sharon; jacauelyn Boivin, from Bratlleboro; and June Hadley, Irene Packard. Jeanette Wood, James Howard. Marion Punt. Vera Perkins, and Pauline Hudson, from Quechee. Marjorie Andrews, who had been ill during our sophomore year, and Eva Williamson, were the only ones who did not return. Pearl Cashman and Lucy Drew left us during the latter part of this year. There were changes in the faculty. Miss Rowley, a graduate of the University of Vermont, replaced Miss Ainsboro: and Miss Aiken, of New York University, succeeded Mr. Allen as director of music. Mr. Allen had now become the principal of the Quechee Grammar and Junior High School. Miss Young took charge of all French j-lasses, and Mr. Freitas, the history classes. The addition of the Junior High also brought new teachers, some of whom were to have both Junior High and Senior High School subjects. Miss Burmaster became the mathematics teacher; Mr. Witt, mathematics, general science, and physics instructor’ Mrs. Rvan a teacher of English; and Mr. Peterson, instructor of social science and physical training. The annual election day seemed more important than ever, for we wanted to make this year a smash hit. a big vear! We wanted to become an outstanding class, a clas we could he proud of. a class that could and would accomplish good aims! Alexander kontos. who had displayed such fine leadership during the previous year. was re-ele-ted president. Dean Reynolds was made vice-president; Pauline Wienka, our secretary; and John Sawyer treasurer. Our first, hut not too impressive start was at Stunt Night. For our program we had a scene taken hv our curly-headed Hollywood cameraman. Frank DePalo and directed hv none other than that voung. dashing, but doubtful. Dean Reynolds, our real Hollywood director. We had our own actors and actresses. Our blond-headed Pearl Cashman impersonated Mae West; Armine Wood, the stupid Charlie Chaplin; Irene Packard, our Shirley Temple: June Harley, a temperamental child; and that hillarious. rollicking trio of Phillips. Whitney, and Smith were the Marx Brothers! Yet. this stunt failed to suit the worthy judges, and we were awarded last prize, the fourth one! In March the annual Watson Prize Speaking contest was held. Only contestants from the Junior and Senior Classes were allowed to participate. This gave a chance for the elect to display their talents in dramatic interpretation. From our class, Alexander Kontos. Ernest Stockwell. and Armine Wood, were our representatives. We rvcre pleased when Alexander Kontos, with his fine interpretation of “The Dentist and the Gas”, was awarded the second prize for the hoys—and yve yvere not a little proud of the others, too. [15] Weeks later at an assembly, prizes were awarded to Hally Littlefield and Virginia Napolitano for their excellent essays on National Defense. Thompson Close received honorable mention. The Daughters of the American Revolution awarded Ramona Hathorn the second prize for her essayr on “Florence Nightingale . Howard Logan and Ralph Regione received honorable mention. In another assembly Mr. Holland awarded Virginia Napolitano with a medal for being the all-round student in history class, and one to Frank DePalo, for his fine work in industrial arts. Were some of us good? We thought so! It was also a real honor for Ernest Stockwell, Richard Mock. Dean Reynolds. Lester Jones, and Alexander Kontos, to be chosen by the faculty to attend the Roys State in Northfield, Vermont. The purpose of sending these boys there was to learn the procedure of state, town, and county government. We were glad to have these five juniors represent our school in Boys’ State. It was in April that the auditorium was elaborately decorated for the much awaited Junior Prom. It was a gala affair! Girls in lovely gowns, and boys in dark dress-up suits danced to the tunes of the Green Collegians, who gave us swing in real fashion. Did we enjoy this prom? You bet! A week before graduation marching rehearsals were called for us juniors. After days of drilling land I do mean drilling) graduation day came, and once more in colorful gowns and dress-up suits marched we proud juniors down the aisle to lake our place as the future seniors. Alexander Kontos, our president, was paged by the president himself, that dictator of 1939. and presented with the huge golden key. which was almost as big as our own Alex. Draped on bis small body was a long, dark gown, and on his head was placed a weird square cap. What a man was our little Alex then! And what a class would we be!! Why, this was the key which could unlock all doors! All the barriers were down!!! Senior Year 1939, found sixty-six proud seniors back at Hartford. There were no changes in the faculty this year. Only three of our classmates did not return: Urlyn Berry. Arthur Cowles, and Erva Doyle. Marion Punt left us during the fall term. To our class we gladly welcomed Clyde Curtis, from Lebanon; and Beulah Martin, from Rochester, Vermont. In October the senior class met in Room 5 to elect class officers. Ernest Stock-well. who was elected the class president, has show n throughout the year, his fine loyalty and leadership, alwavs trying in every way possible to serve us well. Other class officers elected were Thompson Close, vice-president; Helen Dustin, secretary; John Sawyer, treasurer; Alexander Kontos, class attorney; and Rodney Tardie. sergeant-at-arms. We also wish to pay fitting tribute to these officers of our last year at Hartford. In late October we gave a reception to the freshmen. The reception opened with the grand march, seniors parading with freshmen around the hall. In old-fashioned tuxedos and dresses of a dav gone by. waltzed forth our antiquated waltzers. Dean Reynolds. Pauline Wienka. Enid Leavitt, and Robert Couterinarsh. Then from the soft swaying tunes of old to the jazzv craze of the day. danced our jittery-jitterbugs. Edgar Aldrich. Irene Packard. June Hadlev. and Ralph Braley. Pecking, trucking, jiving, jitterbugging for all thev were worth! Next, from the tongue of President Stockwell came the address to the freshmen. To be sure, no one could understand it (no one was [16] meant to) ; even our Ernest himself was nonplussed. The great multitude of freshmen were then ushered to the Senior Shrine of our talented Helen Dustin, where they reverently knelt and hailed the Senior Class. Thus, the formal initiation was brought to a close. It was not long after this that we ! egan making preparations for our stunt in the annual Stunt Night Program. The day came; the hour arrived: and seniors revealed their conception of ‘The World of Tomorrow”. Marjorie Harvey, and Alex Kontos made dutiful wife and husband to their commanding son, Rodney Tardie. and their daughter. Helen Jorgensen, in their version of “The Home of Tomorrow”. Our second scene took us to the great and glamorous city of Washington, where we found “President Hoosevelt and Her Cabinet Members”. A happy Washington this, with its knitting husbands, and its garrulous women discussing the affairs of state. We brought our “World of Tomorrow” to a close by presenting “The Last of the Nazis”. One quotation from the scene will surfire,- I quote the last nazi, (The I ast of the Nazis), “1 have been taking candy away from babies: I have been sticking pins in their balloons; I have been hitting widows over their heads!” Little wonder that our “World of Tomorrow” won for us the first prize—at last! At the Alumni Reception, which was given in honor of Miss Reagan, the English III-A class gave a one-act comedy entitled “The First Dress Suit”. The cast, with the exception of one, was a graduate of the class of 36 at the White River Grammar School, and was composed of Helen Dustin. Jacquelyn Boivin, Alex Kontos. and John Sawyer. Again we might say well done, thou good and faithful Seniors. In the Watson Prize Speaking Contest four of the five members from our class who participated were winners. Helen Dustin’s fine interpretation of the humorous monologue. “The Widow Bedott’s Visitor”, gave her the right to win first prize for the girl Bella Corbin, with her Canadian dialect poems, won second prize: and Jacquelyn Boivin won the third prize for the girls. Ralph Regione and Gregg McCanna were the male con'estants. the former winning the third prize for the hoys. After the contest the one-act plav. “Submerged”, was presented with the following cast of seniors: George Stanley, John Sawyer, Ernest Stoekwell. Alex Kontos, and Armine Wood. Many from our class were placed on the athletic teams. The football season proved to he better than that of the previous vear due to the hard efforts of Richard Whitney. Robert Smith. George Stanley . Alex Kontos. Armand Dionne. Richard Mock. Dean Reynolds, and Clvde Curtis. The hoys’ basketball season proved to he a long and successful one. The team, which was composed of Frank DePalo. Richard Mock. Ralph Regione. Gregg McCanna. and Dean Reynolds, became the first champions of the neyvlv formed Southern Vermont League, winning eight out of ten games in the league, and seventeen out of twentv-two diirin® the entire season. The first five were ably assisted by I-ester Jones and David Wright. The girL haske'hall team featuring Helen Jorgenson. Teresa Jackson. Virginia Napolitano. and Ramona Hathorn proved also to he successful, winning nine out of the fourteen games played. We certainly did have many outstanding athletes in our class! In April we presented the lively three-act comedy. “Ratehelor Born . Among the seniors to make their debut yvere Dean Rey nolds, who had all feminine hearts aflutter as he enacted the rob of Phillip De Pourville: Hoyvard Logan, yvho plaved an inimitable “Crump”: Estelle Labhie. who impressed even the cast with her matronly dignity, and Dick Mock, who helped to make the “monastic establishment seem all the more a boys’ school. The old timers in dramatics to appear were Ralph Regine. the headmaster: Erne«t Stoekwell. the subma«ter: Thompson Close, the man who loved kissing little girls goodnight”: Helen Dustin. Gregg McCanna’s sweetheart (believe it or [17] not) ; Bella Corbin, who suddenly overnight became the lively and mischievous “Button”; Alex kontos, her twin brother as “Bimbo”; Marjorie Harvey and Jacquelyn Boivin, the charming ingenues of the play; George Stanley, too stately for even The House of Lords; Elaine Mock, the maid and victim of various tempers and temperaments; Armine Wood and Clyde Curtis, the headmen among the school boys. The success of the play, we seniors thought, was due to the able directing of Miss Oakes and Mr. Osgood, nor should we neglect to mention the special numbers under the direction of Miss Aiken. The short time that remained was taken in filling out college applications, finishing our year book material, and preparing for commencement exercises. With commencement close at hand, we seniors know that we hate to leave Hartford, to leave our teachers and friends who have become endeared; to leave a world that we have so much enjoyed! “And so we pause to say goodbye. To four glorious years at Hartford High; To four years that we'll never forget. For they'll probably he the best four yet!” Ralph Recione [18] PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS “Aut inveniam viam aul jaciam” “Either find a path or make one”. A suitable motto, surely, for any class being graduated in hazardous times. It is, of course, from a Senior point of view that we shall consider our motto. It means that progress should l e made whether or not there is a definite path to follow. It means that we should not come to a standstill after commencement simply because we cannot find the path we want, the goal we have set for ourselves. It means that the Senior without a path should lie a pioneer. In making the path there are many essentials, among which is self-confidence. In other words we should try our “wings . A Senior can easily lie compared to a fledgling who has just grown his first plumage ours is education. We are ready to fly into the world, hut the nest is so comfortable! How good it has been for our parents and teachers to catch the worm for us every day. Little wonder that we feel uncertainty in making the first flight. The possibility of failure faces us. We are. however, urged on by a longing to lie able to fly with the grace and ease with which we have seeii others “take off”. To find our path or make one, we must have faith. Grenfell says, “Faith is the power by which human beings with limited capacities visualize the possibilities of what they hope for”. The New Testament states. Faith is the substance of things hoped for. the evidence of things not seen”. With faith, we as beginners must use our knowledge. We must not he like the old lady, who, driving down a steep hill said. “I put my fatih in the Lord, and prayed to God till the breechin’ bust then I jumped . It w ill be good to remember that the path w ill be less hazardous if we have faith, faith in ourselves. Hartford has given us knowledge, a knowledge of how to learn and how to grow mentally, and even before this, our parents gave that which no book has to offer. Then, there are our friends. We have formed friendships in high school which will be in many instances, lifelong. We have met the friend in need, the friend indeed . these, our parents our teachers, and our classmates, have helped to lay the foundation of the path which lies ahead of us, know n to some, unknown to others. Yes, Seniors, if we can’t find a path, let us, with confidence, make one. Ernest Stockwell [ 19 1 SENIORS: Senior Class Officers front Row, Left to Right: Helen Dustin, Secretary; Thompson Close, Vice-President; Ernest Stockwell, President; John Sawyer, Treasurer. Rack Row, Left to Right: Alexander Kontos, Attorney; Rodney Tardie, Sergeant-at-Arms. 120] Aldrich, Edgar John “Eddie” Scientific Baseball 1; Bug Club 2; Junior Prom Committee 3; Freshman Reception 4; Home Room Activities 4. ‘'Truth and sincerity have all the advantages of appearance, and many more.” Edgar is our class jitterbug. Not only has he proved to be popular on the dance floor, but he is also the right hand man around the school. If there’s anything you want done, ask Edgar. Atciunson, Evelyn Mina “Red Commercial “Which Came First, The Hen or The Egg?” 1; Stunt Night 3; Bowling Club, president 4. “The two offices of memory are collection and distribution.” Even though Evelyn has been one of the quietest members of our class, she has had a fine commercial record. If you see a flashy redhead over in the bowling alleys, that’s Evelyn. Aulis, Ralph Gillen “Ralphie” Scientific Junior Prom Committee 3. “Ye boys who pluck the flowers, and spoil the spring, Beware that secret snake that shoots a sting.” We remember Ralph as the sad boy of the English class. But when we see him and Baribeau breezing by in that nice Ford of his, he doesn’t seem so solemn after all. Baribeau, Gordon James “Jiggaboo” Scientific Bug Club 2; Color League Basketball 2; Junior Prom 3; History Club 3. “Human nature is the same in all reasonable creatures.” To watch Gordon in class is something deceiving. When he’s out, he’s the life of the party, and has a swell sense of humor. If you don’t take my word, ask Regis. [21 ] Barrows, Richard Ralph “Dick General Band 1, 2; Dramatic Club 4; Senior Play 4. “Conscience is the sentinel of virtue ' Richard is our handy man around school. He not only did a good job in aiding the Senior players, but also helped out in other plays put on by English III-A. Here’s good luck to our handy man. Boivin, Jacquelyn Elizabeth “Jackie” Scientific Bicycle Club 3; Stunt Night 3, 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Basketball 3; Freshman Reception 4; Dramatic Club 4; Alumni Reception 4; Home Room Treasurer 4; Latin Club 4; Year Book Board 4; Senior Play 4; Class Gifts 4; Watson Prize Speaking 4; Music Festival 4; Kid Party 4. “Absolute solitude is not good for us; the social affections must be cherished. The girl with a sparkle in her eyes and a smile for everyone—that’s Jackie. She came to Hartford High when she was a Junior, and soon became one of the most popular girls. She will long be remembered for her dramatic talent (also for her talent for flirting). We know that you’ll be a grand success, Jackie. Here’s to you! Braley, Ralph Adna “Pete Scientific Stunt Night 2; Bug Club 2; Bicycle Club 3; Football 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; History Club 3; Freshman Reception 4; Home Room Activities 4. “The more ingenious men are, the more apt they are to trouble themselves.” Pete is one of those persons who just can’t keep still, neither in words nor actions. And believe it or not, he has a grand sense of humor. He’s one of our all-round students. He swims, plays baseball, football, and boy, how he can dance!! Our advice to Pete is always to look on the bright side of life. Burnham, Hazel Myrtis Commercial Style Show 1; Home Room Activities 4. “Sense and perception must necessarily proceed from some incorporeal substance within us.” During our four years together Hazel has remained in the back-ground and let others take the spotlight. How about getting better acquainted, Hazel and letting the world know how really fine you are. I 22 ] Burnham, Hazen Andrus General Stunt Night 4; Home Room Activities 4. “Silence is the perfectest herald of joy. I were but little happy if I could say how much.” See no evil; speak no evil; hear no evil! That’s Hazen. But you may rest assured that when he does speak, his words contain meaning. Always remember, Hazen, that unspoken words do not lie. Close, Thompson Wallace “Tommy” Scientific Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Stunt Night 2, 3, 4; Bug Club 2; Dramatic Club 3, 4; All-State Orchestra 3; Outing Club 3, 4; Student Advisory Board 4; French Club 4; Class Vice-President 4; Year Book Board, Chairman 4; Kid Party 4; Senior Play 4; Rotary Christmas Party 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Junior Rotarian. “Ambition pushes the soul to such actions as are apt to procure honor and reputation to the actor.” Tommy is one of the boys who will be most likely to succeed. His work in dramatics has been of superior quality. To “Beef Beemish” we say, “Success is found by those who seek it”. Connolly, Pauline Elizabeth “Polly” Scientific F'rench Club 4; Stunt Night 4; Home Room Activities 4. “Heady confidence promises victory without contest.” Polly is one of several of our class blondes. She has a captivating smile and a great sense of humor. Polly’s dream is to be a movie star. So Polly, you have our best wishes and please don’t forget us when you get to Hollywood. Corbin, Bella Albkrtine “Midget” Commercial Stunt Night 3; Glee Club 3, 4; Debating Tournament, Chairman 3; Prize Speaking 4; Dramatic Club 4; Senior Play 4; Time Keeper at Debating Tournament 3. “So fair a land-scape charm’d the wond’ring knight.” Big things certainly do come in small packages. Bella moved here from Lewiston, Maine, when she was a junior. She will be remembered for her dramatic talent, especially as Button in our Senior Play. With her ability to acquire friends, Bella will go far. [23] Coutermarsh, Robert Merton “Cootie” Scientific Bug Club 2; Junior Prom Decorating Committee 3; Football 4; Freshman Reception 4; Baseball 4. “Play is not unlawful merely as a contest.” Cootie is the second half of the Braley-Couter-marsh combine. Where you see one, you see the other. He has a great gift of gab and how he does exercise his lungs as he trudges home about mid night! Cootie is one of the most popular boys in school and is a true friend to all. Curtis, Clyde Francis “Dunie” General Football 4; Dramatic Club 4; Senior Play 4; Baseball 4. “Old men fall easily into recitals of past transactions.” Clyde came to us from Lebanon this year. His fighting spirit on the football field helped to make the team a success. He is also one of our famous male cooks. In the future we may see on some corner “Curtis Diner of Finer Foods”. DePalo, Frank Joseph “Frankie” Scientific Class President 1: Basketball 1. 2, 3, 4; Stunt Night 1, 2, 3, 4; Bug Club 2; Baseball 3; Exhibition in Manual Training 3; Kid Party. “It is variety which keeps alive desire, which would otherwise flag.” Frank, captain of the 1939-40 basketball team, is one of the niftiest basketball players ever to invade our court. Always remember, Frankie, that we’ll be on the side lines cheering as you climb the ladder to basketball success. Dionne, Armand James “Kicky” General Assistant Manager, Baseball 1; Football 2, 3, 4; Bug Club 2; Color League Basketball 3; Bicycle Club 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Stunt Night 3, 4; Dramatic Club 4; Kid Party 4. “The true effect of genuine politeness seems to be rather ease than pleasure.” Armand is our fighting Frenchman. He has played four fighting years of football. His nickname, which is “Kicky”, tells his story for him. He also has a good sense of humor and likes to jitterbug on a dance floor, especially with a certain “Marge”. How about it Kicky? [24 1 Dustin, Helen Carlene “Hefty” Classical Latin Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Stunt Night 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Dramatic Club 4; French Club, Secretary 4; Freshman Reception 4; Alumni Reception 4; Prize Speaking 4; Home Room Vice-Chairman 1; Student Advisory Board, Chairman 4; Class Secretary. “Then even superior to ambition, we with earnest eye anticipate those scenes of happiness and wonder.” Helen is one of the most versatile members of outclass. Her fine performance in the Senior Play, prize speaking, and English 111-A will not soon be forgotten. We know that Helen will succeed in whatever she does. Guarino, Loren a Mary “Weenie” Classical Latin Club 1, 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; French Club 4; Freshman Reception Committee 4; Class Pin Committee 4. “To receive and to communicate assistance constitutes the happiness of human life.” She’s so quiet that we hardly know she’s there. But when you see a broad smile pop up, and you take a closer look, there stands “Weenie” behind it. Hadley, June Mary “Tiny” General “The inefficacy of advice is usually the fault of the councelor.” Tiny’s nickname is not appropriate, but it’s cute, don’t you think? June came to us from Quechee at the beginning of our Junior year. Her persistent giggle has added much to many a boring class. June plans to study nursing.

Marge makes up for lost time, however, with her pleasant smile and pleasing personality. We know that she will always be a part of the pleasant things of life. [25] Hathorn, Ramona Dorothy “Monie” Classical Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Latin Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Stunt Night Committee 1; Class Treasurer 2; Stunt Night 2, 3; Scavenger Hunt Committee 2; Student Advisory Board 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Softball 3, 4; 2nd Prize D.

A good conscience hath always en- ugh to reward itself, though the success fall not out according to the merit of the endeavor.” Don’t call her red-headed, she doesn’t like it. And besides, it’s almost brown, isn’t it, Monie? Monie is one of our favorite classmates. Although she is, she finds plenty of time to bowl, skate, play basketball, and attend movies. The best of luck to you Monie, as you go on to college for a higher education. Hefflon, Carman Henry “Heff” Scientific Glee Club 1,3; Outing Club 1, 2, President 3, 4; Ski Team 1, 2, Captain 3; Latin Club 1; French Club 1; Music Festival 1; Baseball 1; Football 1; Bug Club 2; Hockey 2; Stunt Night 3, 4; Bicycle Club 3; Home Room Representative 4; Kid Party 4; Freshman Reception 4. “ ’Tis the first sanction nature gave to man, Each other to assist in what they can.” Carman is always telling what he considers hysterically funny jokes. (Maybe his “outside interest” in Lebanon thinks they are funny, too). He is one of our best in Math and we expect to see him someday a famous (or notorious) draftsman. Hill, Margaret Yolande Peggy'’ Commercial “Gentleness corrects whatever is offensive in our manners.” Haven’t we a lot of good commercial students? Margaret certainly is no exception. We hope never to miss her beaming countenance over at Newberry’s. Howard, James George “Jim” General Bug Club 3; Baseball 3, 4. “We sometimes think we could a speech produce much to the purpose, if our tongues were loose.” Jimmy is a very industrious boy (at least outside of school). He’s always laughing and joking, especially with the girls, who just adore his curly hair. [26 ] Howard, Paulina Jane ‘‘Polly’’ Commercial Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Refreshment Committee for Junior Prom 3; Stunt Night 3; Freshman Reception Committee 4; Kid Party 4; Home Room Chairman 4; Announcer of Senior Play 4. “To direct a wanderer in the right way is to light another man’s candle by one’s own, which loses none of its life by what the other gains.” Paulina has shown us what fine leadership she has, especially since she was made home room chairman. With that great big smile and charming personality, we know that Paulina will go far. Howard, Walter Ernest “Walt Scientific Baseball 2; Bug Club 2; Junior Prom 3; Stunt Night 3, 4; Football 4. “ ’Tis not indeed my talent to engage in lofty trifles or to swell my page with wind and noise.” Walt’s a favorite among all his classmates and can always be depended upon whenever you need help. He is a very handsome lad and this, we believe, is best noticed when he smiles. We are sure that all the teachers will miss Walt next year, or will it be that pocket music box he carried around from class to class? Hudson, Pauline Eliza “Polly General Stunt Night 3; Home Room Activities 4. “I never sit silent in company when secret history is talking, but 1 am reproached for want of assurance.” Pauline came to us last year. She is one of the neat and quiet girls of our class. Polly always has her work done, and when she is through she has a good time in the hills of Quechee. It is said that she has a dear friend somewhere, but she never brings him down. Jackson, Teresa Gertrude “Terry Scientific Basketball 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Scavenger Hunt Committee 2; Stunt Night 3, 4; Softball 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; All-State Chorus 4; Senior Play Announcer 4; Music Club 2. “I have sometimes fancied that women have not a retentive power, or the faculty of suppressing their thoughts, but that they are necessitated to speak everything they think.” Wherever there’s Terry, there’s talking, but we would have missed her charming chatter. Terry has made herself well-known on the basketball court, as well as in Glee Club. If you are always as happy-go-lucky, and such a chatterbox, we’re sure that you 11 sail along through life very smoothly. Jones, Lester Leon Wimpy” Scientific Glee Club 1; Football 2, 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4; Baseball Manager 3; Bug Club 2; Boy’s State 3; Baseball 4; Student Advisory Board 4; History Club 3; “H.M.S. Pinafore” 2; Stunt Night 4; Junior Ro-tarian 4. “Devotion seldom dies in a mind that has received an early tincture of it.” Lester, captain of the 1939 football team, is anything but a “he-man” in the classroom. He is very quiet and shy, and has the cutest wink. The members of the fairer sex just can’t get a break. Why? Well, a certain Hartford girl has a firm hold and we can’t do a thing about it. Good luck, Les, and may you succeeed in the goal you strive to attain. Jorgensen, Helen Lucille Itchy Scientific Basketball 1, 2, 3, Captain 4; Scavenger Hunt Committee 2; Junior Prom Committee 3; Softball 3, 4; Sportsman’s Show Committee 3; Freshman Reception Committee 4; Dramatic Club 4. “Soft stillness, and the night, become the touches of sweet harmony.” When we think of Jorgensen, we naturally think of basketball.

If you hear a wise sentence or an apt phrase, commit it to your memory.” Alex is our most active boy. He was our class president for two years and this year is our attorney. He has been famous on the football and baseball fields. In dramatics he is a wow! Remember him in “Submerged”, The First Dress Suit”, and “Bachelor Born”? Labbie, Lsteli.e Marie Commercial Freshman Reception Committee 4; Kid Party Committee 4; Glee Club 4; Senior Play 4. “The most successful students make their advances in knowledge by short flights.” Estelle has made a fine name for herself in the commercial department. She ranks at the top in the typing and shorthand classes. We’re sure you’ll make someone a first class “stenog”, Estelle. I 2«] Leavitt, Enid Norma “Shorty” Commercial dee Club 2; Basketball 2; Freshman Reception 4. “F atience and perseverance overcome the greatest difficulties.” Enid is one of our class jitterbugs.

Littlefield, Hally Beth “Tilly Commercial Junior Prom Committee 3; Stunt Night 4; Kid Party 4; Freshman Reception 4. “Her hopes and expectations are bigger than her enjoyments.” Hally joined us her Junior year when she moved here from Penacook. She has certainly made herself known and has acquired the friendship of all. However, she still has week-end visitors from the old home town. What’s the matter with the White River boys. Hally? Logan, Howard William “Logie” Commercial Football 1; Basketball 1, 2; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Stunt Night 1, 4; Music Festival 1; All-State Chorus 2, 3; “H.M.S. Pinafore” 2; Color League 2; Bicycle Club 3; Bug Club 4; Kid Party 4; Senior Play 4; Freshman Reception 4. “Your first care must be to acquire the power of fixing your thoughts.” Howard will be remembered for his role in the Senior Play as “Old Crump”. His old Ford is his best friend, except for a certain lass in Lebanon. Howard is the lad who can tell “big experiences” about his “extraordinary life”. Good luck, Howard! Luce, Florence Lois “Flossie” General Home Economics Style Show 1, 2; Home Room Activities 4. “The resonableness of a test is not hard to be proved.” It is an old saying that the three chief means of communication are telephone, telegraph, and tela-woman. It is our privilege, and so let’s make the most of it. “Flossie” has a grand sense of humor and a pleasing personality and will, no doubt, make someone a very good wife. I 29 | Lucie, Weudall Dean Teddy General Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Bur Club 2; “H.M.S. Pinafore” 2; All-State Chorus 2, 3; French Club 4. “Whatever you can do, continue to do.” Wendall is the boy who just can’t pet to school on time. He likes to sleep, but if you really want to catch him wide awake, po over to the First National Store, where he works. Wendall is a very pleasinp friend to know. By the way, have you ever heard him chatter French? Bon voyape, Wendall. Martin, Beulah “Peter” General Year Book Board 4; Stunt Nipht 4; Home Room Activities 4. “The smallest Humminp-bird is about the size of a hazel-nut.” Beulah came to us this year from Rochester. She has looked out on life and evidentally thoupht about it all, for we notice that when Beulah talks, she says some-thinp.

We pained Grepp durinp our Sophomore year when he moved here from New Brunswick, New Jersey. He proved to be one of our best athletes. Yet, why shouldn’t he be, with all the exercise he pets from walkinp to the third terrace? Miller, Marion Patricia Commercial Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Stunt Nipht 2, 3; Scavenper Hunt Committee 2; Junior Prom Committee 3; Home Room Secretary 4. Marion has acquired the friendship of us all. Yet, why shouldn’t she? When she flashes that friendly smile and those bip black eyes at you, who wouldn’t fall? Not only Seniors, but Sophomores as well!!

She has helped pull the class smoothly through many difficulties. Klaine wants to be a nurse, and if we can judge anything by her ability to do chemistry, we know she’ll succeed.

Dick also plays football and baseball and shou'ed very promising results in both sports. It is too bad though, that Dick doesn’t take the girls as seriously. His popularity among his classmates is brought about by his grand personality. May success be yours, Dick. Napolitano, Virginia Marie “Jinny” Classical Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Latin Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Music Festival 1; Stunt Night 1, 2, 3, 4; Music Club 1, 2; Glee Club 1,2, 3, 4; “H. M. S.

We envy the patients, Ginny. Orrizzonto, Johanna Theresa “Jo” General Glee Club 1, 2; Stunt Night 1; Dramatic Club 4. “A friend is he with whom our interest is united.” Johanna always looks “good” to us, and she evidently wants to help others to look “good”.

[31 ] J Packard, Irene Mary “Be” General Stunt Night 3; Softball 3; Freshman Reception Committee 4; Kid Party Committee 4. “Harmony is a compounded idea made up of different sounds. If you are ever looking: for “He”, just go to some well-known dance hall, and she’ll probably be there. The title of class jitterbug: was well awarded this year. Where do you learn all the new steps, Be? Besides being: a jitterbug:, she is one of the happiest girls in school. Happy landing, Be. Perkins, Vera Ruth General Home Room Activities 4. “A situation in which I am as unknown to all the world as I am ignorant of all that passes in it would exactly suit me.” Vera never makes any more noise than an ant, but she is always as busy as one. And could she keep order in that honor study hall! We understand, by the way, that she is the object of Howard Logan’s affection. Phillips, Elwin David “Henry” General Stunt Night 1, 2, 3; Basketball 1, 2; Bug Club 2; Outing Club 2, 3; Ski Team 3; History Club 3. “Aristotle has a dry conciseness, that makes one imagine one is perusing a table of contents.” Elwin is our man of ease.

Nor is this all. Girls, you should see his cooking. Boy! It’s delicious! He is also “it” in dramatics! Remember him in prize speaking and “Bachelor Born”? In short, he is an all-round good fella.

Goon” enjoys life! He likes to sleep and eat. Nothing ever worries him. It is said that he is trying his luck at dancing. A certain blue-eyed girl is teaching him. It might be Irene!

Boy, but his face can get red! George is one of our best-natured boys, as well as best liked. He played football and baseball. And was he good! George is an extraordinary actor, too. Remember him in our Senior Play? He’s taking up dancing as a hobby. A certain girl broke Georgie’s heart so he’s “quits with the dames”. Better stay that way, George, it will pay in the end. Stockwell, Lorraine Esther “Pete” Scientific Glee Club 1, 2; Rotary Christmas Party 3; Dramatic Club 3, 4. “It is certain that the basis of all lasting reputation is laid in moral worth.” Lorraine comes from Quechee. She enjoys a good time; she’s happy-go-lucky; she never worries, and she gets there just the same. She always has a certain interest in Quechee, but we don’t know who he is. She is an active member of the Dramatic Club. How about wishing her the best of luck.

Wood As I remember, it was in the year 1960. I had just returned to White River Junction after an absence of twenty years, and I was reclining comfortably on the spacious veranda of my country estate, Woodcrest Manor, located in the South End. when a classy, streamlined taxi skidded to a stop in front of the aforesaid Manor in a cloud of dust, (the kind the South End is noted for). The taxi was owned and operated by Bob Coutermarsh. Boh opened the door, and there stepped out a man, slightly gray with the cares of the world, and who had grown as much east and west as he had north and south. 1 looked again and I beheld my old pal Rodney Napoleon Tardie. I almost fell over him I was so pleased to see him. “Well Nappy, old boy”, I asked him, “What have you been doing since we were paroled in 1940?” “Well”, replied Tardie, “1 have made my money in sauerkraut”. “Sauerkraut! Frankly, I was amazed. “Yes. I ve bought out Taft's Flat planted the whole area with skunk cabbage and am selling it to Hitler as the real thing. Man, I’ve cleaned up! What have you been up to since I saw you last?” “I II tell you. Rod, I've been educating the people. I felt a pressing need for H. H. S. graduates to be educated, so, I bought a publishing house. Paulina Howard, by the way, is my personal secretary. Each member of the graduating class receives a set of the Harvard Classics and a five-year subscription to Superman! After Rod and I had dinner, we decided to take a look around town and see if we could find any graduates of '40. We hailed a red blur that a moment later turned out to be a bus, run by Howard Logan. He told us that he had traded in his old Ford toward the new bus, hut that before he had finished trading cars, the Ford had depreciated so much Howard owed Bailey Brothers $1400.00 toward the bus. We said goodbye to Howard and got off at Gates Street. There in front of us was an enormous feed market taking up. not only where the First National Store used to be. but the entire Hotel Coolidge block. We entered the building to see what the interior was like. As we entered, a tall, slim fellow with straight dark hair was offering us cigars and pretzels. Why! It was our old school mate, Wendall Luce. He. Flwin Phillips, Pete Braley. and Walter Howard were now partners in their enterprise. Business was so good the town had to widen the streets and the B. M. had to turn Butmanville into railroad yards to take fare of the freight shipments. We continued our walk up Main Street. Where Walt’s Restaurant used to be, we beheld a colorful neon sign bearing the inscription “Ye Olde Fashioned Hamburger Jointe”. We entered and were greeted by our well-known friend Boh Rumrill. He claimed that he had the only surviving recipe for the hamburger of the 1940 vintage. He w-as really cleaning up. Later, as we were going up North Main Street, we noted many changes. John Sawyer owned the old Bogle Bros. Jewelry Store. It was now known as “Sawyer’s Spark - [40] ler Spot.” Dean Reynolds was manager of the Lyric Theatre and Vera Perkins and Terry Jackson were usherettes. The theatre had been enlarged so that it took up the entire block where the White River Paper Company was in the old days. Frank DePalo was the owner of DePalo’s Perusal Emporium, once known as the Gates Library. Jeanette Wood was the chef at Burnham’s Body Building Beanery, run by Hazel and Hazen Burnham, located on Maplewood Terrace nar Miss Mildrd Oakes' residence, Emerson Towers. Returning to Bridge Street Rod and I saw a red-faced man running at top speed out of Currier Street followed by an attractive looking woman wielding a rolling pin in one hand and a yellow paper in the other. When they came closer, we saw it was George Stanley being ardently pursued by Florence Luce. As they passed us we heard Florence crying, “I’ll teach you to pass me a rubber check for your room rent!” I found out later that George was a traveling salesman for Hudson’s Household Helpers. a successor to the Fuller Brush line. Apparently Polly Hudson was making her modest fortune, too. George roomed at Luce’s Luxury Lodge and apparently the rubber checks didn’t seem to work. Jackie Boivin owned one of the most modernly equipped beauty parlors in White River with Irene Packard as head beautician. Jackie told us that Margie Harvey was one of Hollywood’s highest paid fashion designers. Her specialty was Errol Flynn’s neckties and Robert Taylor’s pajamas. As we progressed toward the Point we saw’ a terrific change in old H. H. S. A new school had been built near the old one. which had been changed into a theatre workshop. The school enrollment was 2(H)0 we were told bv E. Stockwell s son, the president of the Masquers, and the Masquers was 500. Mr. Holland told us Mr. Osgood. our Math teacher, and Einstein were collaborating on a new theory of relativity. Mr. Osgood had convinced Einstein it could be done with third year algebra. The last Graduating class had presented Einstein with a barrel of Bayer Aspirin and all the Hartford water he could drink. (That water will get him yet.) Alex Kontos. now a Broadway’ star, was to appear at the Hartford Summer Theatre in a revival of ’’Gone With The Wind with Monie Hathorn as Scarlett . That promised to be a show worth seeing. W hile we were visiting the school, we met Marion Miller in the corridor. She was visiting the school, also. She told ns that she was | ersonaI secretary to Dick W hitney, who owned the Hanover Country Club with Bob Smith as “pro”. Whit was also president of Rotary. Marion also told us that our “Rarb” editor. Pollv Wienka. now owned the former Hearst Chain of newspapers and was editor of the New York W orld-Telegram. Her secretary was (would vou believe it?) Edgar Aldrich! Yor was that all. for in the evening Ed and June Hadlev were feature dancers at the Ritz Roof. His specialty was a classic interpretation of that ancient dance. “The Shag ’. June, bv the way, collaborated with Edear Guest on poetry and Aldrich had published a book entitled So Thev Called It Swing”. It took the Pulitzer Prize for 1959. Marion told us that Carman Heffion was one of Glen Miller's feature artists, a harmonica virtuoso par excellence She said that even though he has manv harmonicas, gold plated ones and all. he still sticks to that two-bit affair with which he skyrocketed to fame at the famous Senior amateur hour, which took place in the spring of 19-U). Do you remember? In shaking of that Amateur hour, because Ernest Stockwell was barred from the prizes as being “professional ’. he then and there decided to be one. At the present time. Ernest is one of the country’s foremost concert trombonists. He is appearing each June at the Hartford Summer Theatre. His concert tour includes some of the r ] largest cities in the States. New York, Boston, St. Louis, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Chicago, and many others. His music has thrilled thousands and he has had several offers from the New York Philharmonic and the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestras. Johanna Orrizonto is another of Glenn Miller's troup. She is his drummer. Marion said that Jo was a whizz! On the bulletin board in the corridor near the office was a football squad practice notice, so we took a walk up the hill that had become so familiar to most of us. Hod, in his sauerkraut enterprise, made reservation for the athletic field. Even though we thought skunk cabbage and athletic fields a strange combination, we didn’t mind if the patrons didn’t. As we approached the field, we saw a tall, handsome man dressed in a football jersey, baseball shoes and a straw hat on his head. Upon taking a second look we beheld none other than Arthur Joseph Gregory McCanna, Hartford’s Great White Hope, teaching the rookies how to play pigskin pinochle. Gregg was tickled spectrumatically to see us. He told us that good old H. H. S. had engaged his services as assistant under John Freitas. It seems that the turnout for sports had been terrific after we left the school. In fact, Hartford High had held the New England Championship for the last ten years. I asked Gregg if he was married yet. Gregg replied, “I was withdrawn from circulation five years ago”. “No! Not really? Congratulations, old man. Who is she?” I was “hearty in my approbation and lavish with my praise” (to quote Dale Carnegie). “Well, there is, or was, a delicious specimen of femine pulchritude residing inconspicuously on the third terrace. Need I continue further?” Gosh! Those words! McCanna had really turned to teaching in a big way. I hastened to assure him it was not necessary to continue. Tardie and I had received some queer surprises that day, but this really look the cake! Vie remembered the spectacular success Gregg had in the 1940 baseball season when he achieved the distinction of being the only Hartford student to pitch 11 no hit. no run. no error games by using the then new “Effie Mae Windup”, much publicized by the Boston Post, now owned by Bella Corbin. Gregg also told us that Tommv Close and Hally Littlefield were teaching at H. H. S. Tommy taught Latin and Hally, typing and bookkeeping under Miss Kelle-her. Rod was only a short distance from his home, so we said “so long” to Gregg and his rookies. Tardie started home and I walked back to the main part of town. As I descended the bill. I saw a large building of modern architectural designs, facing me, and occupying a prominent position on the high bluff above White River. As I had nothing to do that evening, I returned to Woodcrest, changed into my evening clothes and had my convertible brought to my front door. I got in and drove through the business district of the town, past Emerson Towers, to a long tree-lined drive, at the entrance of which was a large stone archway with ornate iron-grilled gates and surmounted by a neon sign proclaiming this to be “Lc Frontenac”, New England s finest hotel. To the right of this gate lay a magnificent airdrome whose board of directors included such illustrious names as Armand Dionne, James Howard, Ralph Aulis and Gordon Baribeau. [42] As I approached the gates a large clipper ship was coming in for a landing. I found out later that it was piloted by Lester Jones. Virginia Napolitano and Helen Jorgensen were hostesses on the same ship. I drove up the long drive toward the hotel wondering, as I admired the shrubbery along the way, how so many changes could occur in such a short space of years. As 1 rounded a curve in the drive, 1 saw “Le Frontenac”. It looked even more impressive near to than it did from afar. 1 parked my car and passed through the stone piazza and entered the hotel. The interior was richly furnisned in the modern manner and excellently appointed which bespoke the truly fine taste of some interior decorator, who turned out to be Kegis White. Directly in front of me was a wide staircase leading to a high balcony circling the spacious lobby. The desk, clerk, and register were at my left so 1 approached the desk and asked the clerk, Gerald Tenny, who owned this palatial establishment. Gerald replied that Ralph Regione was the owner and operator. As 1 felt a slightly empty feeling in my abdominal regions, I asked the way to the dining room. 1 shook hands with Gerald and as I was about to leave, curiosity prompted me to glance at {he register. 1 scanned the open page bearing the current date. I failed to recognize any of the names and was about to close the book when one name tairly leaped from the page. 1 looked again. Yes, it was there! Helen Dustin, Hollywood, California. That name almost floored me for 1 thought she was still in California. The reason 1 had thought so was, that in addition to being one of the nation's foremost illustrators, for Walt Disney and myself, she had the full-time job of being the wife of the country's leading publishers of Harvard Classics. I ascended the long stairway and walked down the corridor to the Arabian Room”. As 1 neared, dance music and the tinkle of glasses could be heard. On entering, 1 noticed a floor show going on, Richard Barrows, the head waiter, conducted me to a table near the dance floor. A cute waitress stood near to take my order. 1 took another of my second looks and it was Estelle Labbie. I looked around the room and 1 spotted Lorena Guarino, Pauline Connolly, Enid Leavitt and Evelyn Atchinson, the hostesses at “Le Frontenac”, for the large group of dinner guests present that evening. The dancers left the floor and a tall, well-built man, dressed in a tuxedo stepped into the spotlight. It was Ralph Regione. He waited until the applause died down then spoke. “laidies and Gentlemen, I have the honor to present one of our feature attractions here at the “Arabian Room”. 1 give you that master of the Hawaiian guitar, Miss Iairraine Stock well!!!” The applause was terrific! The walls of the room were on the verge of breaking into a rhumba. Margaret Hill saw me and came over and spoke to me. She was the manager of J. J. Newberry’s and Beula Martin was the fashion designer there. Margaret told us Clyde Curtis, Dick Mock and Dave Wright were business managers for Le Frontenac . Margaret was with a party of friends and she soon excused herself, leaving me alone. The lights dimmed, a blue spotlight shone on the floor, and our popular schoolmate, Elaine Mock, began to sing that beautiful song by Carrie Jacobs Bond. “The End of a Perfect Day”. Her words started me thinking of how this had been a truly beautiful day. I was beginning to choke up; so I opened the french windows and stepped out onto the balcony. Leaning on the balcony rail and looking dowTn on the now beautiful hite River flowing past, I noticed, riding at anchor, a trim yacht owned, by Eleanor Rosenbeck, the noted novelist, 1 was later told. [43] As I looked at White River Junction observing how lovely and peaceful it seemed by night and remembering how prosperous and friendly the people were by day, I suddenly realized why this once small Vermont town had not only remained on the map but had grown to be the thriving metropolis and splendid business center it now was. I drank a silent toast to the present and future happiness and success of the Class of 1940. As I did so, it seemed that I could still hear Elaine singing the words of that old, old. song that will live in our hearts and memory for years to come— Well this is the end of a perfect day. Near the end of a journey too; But it leaves a thought that is big and strong. With a wish that is kind and true. For memory has painted this perfect day In colors that never fade. And we find at the end of a perfect day The soul of a friend we’ve made. [44] SENIOR PLAY Left to Right: Armine Wood, Elaine Mock, Marjorie Harvey.

[46] JUNIOR CLASS [47] JUNIOR PROM JUNIOR JODDING The Junior Class of ’41 has chalked up another year in its Hartford diary. In the first few weeks there came election day. With much deliberation our choice was made, a choice that we hoped would prove fruitful for the following year. Herbert Smith became our president with Noreen Ray,, vice-president, Betty Shepard, secretary, and Jean jockel treasurer. 11 now became our turn to look to the future and to organize properly our class and also the not-to-be-forgotten treasury. Assisting us as class sponsors were Miss Kingsbury, Miss I -ach, and Mr. Freitas. Our first step into the social center was Stunt Night. The usual preparations were made with much scrambling, and a plan was decided upon. A well-known night-club was the scene, and everyone was invited to “swing and sway” with Noreen Ray. Several popular tunes were recorded with the help of the microphone. A student orchestra played in accordance with the records. The effect brought was of reality rather than pantomine. Guest artist. Marjorie Jennings, sang two selections. A number was dedicated to Mr. Holland, who was not present. Then as several members danced. Jean Jockel. in disguise of an orchestra member, sang in pantomine to a recording of “Blue Orchids”. In spite of our sincere efforts we failed to cop any prize for our stunt. So until next year we must suffer in defeat. In March came the annual Watson Brize Speaking Contest. Several Juniors were invited to participate, and to our delight Everett Savage pulled in the first prize. We were also proud of our other contestants. Betty Shepard. Jacqueline Gobie. Russell Bement and Mark Miller. Noreen Ray and Majorie Jennings introduced the speakers. A few davs later it was announced that Betty Shepard and Althea Hefflon had run away with second and first prizes in the yearly I). A. R. Essay Contest. I his indeed laid another honor at our door. Lo! and behold! The Seniors came and started a class paper. In competition the Junior Class ventured lo organize one of their own. Committees were appointed and headed by Mark Miller, Marjorie Jennings, editors, and Noreen Rav. and Yolande Corbin, assistant editors. Several names were submitted until “The Optic” was decided upon for the byword. The paper has been published every Thursday, first by one division of our English class and then by the other. Thus everyone has been given a chance to participate. The last and bigsrest event of the year was the Junior Prom. Again committees were appointed under the direction of Noreen Rav. Every detail was prepared and plans were carried out with fine cooperation from the class. An old-fashioned garden was the decoration theme. Music was provided bv the Dartmouth Green Collegians. With the efforts of all combined it was a gala evening that wound up our final contribution as Juniors. With graduation approaching, another year has nearly passed. Just a few short weeks, then the final chapter in our diary will unfold. Until then the Juniors can give three cheers to another successful year well spent. r 491 SOPHOMORES: Sophomore Class Officers Front Row, Left to Right: Marjorie Mock, Secretary; Michael Filosa, President. Back Row, Left to Right: Robert Sumner, Vice-President; Anthony Domey, Treasurer. [50] SOPHOMORE CLASS [51] SOPHOMORE SNAPS SOPHOMORE CLASS The Sophomores, (Mass of '42 Would herein like to present to you— A masterpiece of literary composition our class history, telling of the adventures of the present Sophomores, or should I say, the future Juniors, in our journey along the road of education! We came to Hartford High for the second year of our great adventure on September 6, 1939. We were allotted Room 6 and part of Rooms 7 and 4. Several newcomers were recognized in our ranks when we started school. Augustus Cochran popped in from Windsor. Two pretty and popular girls, Rita Lawrence and Irene Collins, also joined the Sophomore parade. There were also many who left us during the first month of school. Everything went steadily on into October, when we elected new officers. Michael Eilosa was the lucky man to get the presidential berth. Our red-headed Boh Somer from Wilder was elected to be second in command. Marjorie Mock has l een a good secretary in previous years, and now she is having another chance to prove her prowess. Anthony Homey was chosen to he the money man. Our class has certainly had its share of functions. We started off with a “third in the annual Stunt Night. This was not so good, after last year's “first . Our next enterprise was a Masquerade Party, held the first week in November. The costumes were of every hue. and the dancing made a riot of living color. Of course we had to have a Christmas Party. This was a party just for our own dass Then came our big night. We held a combined Sugar Raffle and Record Dance. This proved to he a real aid to the class treasury, netting about twenty dollars. The Sugar Raffle was the brain child of our able president, and we thank him for it. Due to these functions we cleared about thirty dollars for the class treasury during this year. The sports are pretty w'ell represented in our class. In football there are James O’Connor, Stanley Davenport, Michele Eilosa, Anthony Domey, ( us Cochran, and Earl Adams. There is a long list of students out for basketball, among them are James O’Connor, Earl Adams. Stanley Curtis, Nelson Dimik, Stewart Chapin, and Eugene Rose. In baseball there is also a good representation: Anthony Domey, John Lothrop, Nelson Dimick, Eugene Rose. Earl Adams, Phil Lyman, and James O’Connor. As for girls’ basketball, we are proud of Jeannette Labelle and Bertha Lyman. Susan Cameron worked hard as assistant manager. In other fields than sports the sophomores have excelled. Twro out of three straight “A” students in the school are sophomores, and a good percentage of those with over a “B” average are also sophomores. In music this year there were twenty people representing our school in the All-State organizations in Burlington. Ten of these were sophomores. Sophs w ill come and Sophs w ill go, hut It takes these Sophs to give you a show! Some are smart, most are not. Some are pretty, others not so hot. Some will go, some will sty hack. Some blow' up and others stay flat. Some do much studying, others do less. Some never do anything—they get F’s. Some work hard to get A’s and B’s. The ones who do not. get C’s and D’s Some you like, some you don’t. Some would give their shirt, others take your coat. But, all in all. I have a hunch You'll find this class a pretty good hunch! FRESHMAN: Freshman Class Officers Front How, Left to Right: Mary Mock, Secretary; Roderick Stinehour, President. Back Row: Joseph Whitney, Treasurer. [54] FRESHMAN CLASS [55] FRESHMAN SNAPS [56] FRESHMAN CLASS In the first days of September our class, numbering 106, assembled in Hartford High School for a year of combined work and play. For many of us it was a new experience, but for others it was like a second year, because ours had been the first eighth-grade to he in this building. Some of the courses were new to all of us, but we seemed to be ready for anything. After a week of getting used to things and settling down, a freshman Class Meeting was called forelection of class officers. And worthy were they who were chosen! They were as follows— President................Roderick Stinehour Vice-president...........Robert Curtis Secretary................Mary Mock Treasurer................Bernard Whitney The next thing on the “list was stunt night, in which the Freshmen carried off second prize with a comedy pantomime entitled “And the Lamp Went Out . The first Freshman Party was given on March 19, 1940, and wras a total success. It was given in the form of a Poverty Dance, and all guests came in old clothes. Through hard-working committees, we cleared thirteen dollars. Up to date, our class has gone far. and judging from the past, it will continue to go further.

The officers of the club are president, George Smith; vice-president. Betty Lovell; treasurer and secretary, Jean Jockel. The club was organized to help its members to a better understanding in the general field of photography and to give them practical experience in taking, developing, and enlarging pictures. During the year the Photography Club put on various photo contests, some of which were extended to the Senior High, others were just for the club itself. Also pictures were displayed on a bulletin board under the heading of Who’s Who in Hartford High. This created quite an interest throughout the school. Members of the club are Noreen Ray, David Wright. Dean Reynolds. Richard Southwick, Silvia Colodny, and Robert Smith.

We elected the following officers: Carman Hefflon. president; Thompson Close, vice-president; Noreen Kay, secretary, and Susan Cameron, treasurer. Mr. Leonard Saunders was again our faculty advisor. A ski team was not sponsored, this year, because of the lack of a sufficient number of able skiers.

This year an annual program was drawn up by the club. Each meeting scheduled had two hostesses appointed to be in charge. On December 14, of last year we served over seventy persons at a dinner to the local Rotary Club Members and their wives. This event proved very successful financially and socially. On December 20. 1939, the F. H. V. held a Christmas Party at the Practice House. A Christmas tree and refreshments were enjoyed after the program. Fifteen girls enjoyed a Skating Party January 24, 1940. at Oecotn Pond in Hanover, New Hampshire. Skating was enjoyed from seven to ten o’clock and then refreshments were served. Our plans for the future include a style show, at which time the girls will model the garments that have been made during the school year. We are planning a Mother-Daughter Banquet in May, which we hope will prove as successful as our past events.

Although this year s football team did not win as many games as some of the former squads produced by Hartford High, it certainly upheld the ideals of sportsmanship that are a tradition at Hartford. We are proud to have had such a team representing us, for after all. the winning of games is only one of the aims of any athletic team; the primary objectives being the development of character and of sportsmanship—-objectives which were realized in this year’s squad under the excellent direction of Coach Freitas.

You have your “Iron Man” teams in football to rave about, but this year’s Hartford basketball team has them all beaten. Finishing the season with the same five riproaring Seniors who started the opening game, Hartford came through with a very successful season. Filtered as a dark horse” in the newly formed Southern Vermont League, Hartford proved itself the best of all the teams by capturing the championship with an .800 average, winning eight games and losing two. Because of their fine regular season record (15 wins and 2 defeats) Hartford was invited to the Rutland Tournament. Hurdling their first two opponents by the scores of 44- to 32 over Rrattleboro and 53 to 43 over Bennington, a tired but happy Hartford team took the floor against Proctor for the Championship game. The five Seniors who had played two whole games before tried their best, hut tin-pace was too much for them. They went down fighting, with Proctor finally coming through with a victory over our boys 37 to 36 in the last eight seconds on a foul shot Three of our boys were selected on the All-Tournament teams. Frank DePalo, the diminutive spark plug of the team, was chosen Captain of the All-Tournament first team. Ralph Regione. our high scoring center, was chosen All-Tournament center. Dean Reynolds, stalwart guard, was selected on the All-Tournament second team for his fine showing during tourney play. [70] For the first time since 1933 Hartford vrfas invited to Burlington to compete for the state championship. The opening whistle of the Bennington game found our same five mighty Seniors in the line up. Getting off to a had first half start Hartford was unable to pull within scoring distance of a victory but was a good team even in defeat. Bennington protected its early lead and went on to victory 52 to 40. Two of our Senior boys were also honored at this tournament. It is interesting to note that all the other players selected on the All-State teams had played in two or three games, while Frank DePalo and Gregg McCanna were selected on the All-State second team after playing in only one game. The first team was composed of Frank DePalo and Dick Mock at the forward posts. Ralph Regione at center, and Gregg McCanna and Dean Reynolds at the guard positions. lister Jones and David Wright were two of the most capable substitutes.
