TT DO d Qf)§ 2 K i V DEDICATION MR. GATES The class of 1952 is proud to dedicate our yearbook to you, Mr. Gates, in gratitude for your helpful guidance. You have selflessly given time and friendship to us. The memory of your patience and personality will remain in the memories of each member of the class of '52. 2 First Row (left to right): Miss Kingsbury, Miss Vaughn. Miss Barnett. Miss Van Deusan.

APPRECIATION FACULTY The class of 1952 would like to express our appreciation to the many friends we have found among the faculty. Each teacher and advisor has given us wisdom to carry on with us as we close the doors of H. H. S. behind us for the last time. SUPERINTENDENT’S ADDRESS Young people are the constant recipients of advice. Parents, teachers, and older friends have bombarded you with suggestions until many of you intentionally go against the advice given. Older people have made mistakes as they grew and in the hope that they can help you avoid the errors they made the advice is given. However, many of you feel that they speak not from experience but from unfamiliarity with the problems you face. One of the differences between man and animals is that a man can think in the future. He can project his imagination and see the consequences of his acts. Man alone, of all the living things, can predict the result of an act by means of reason. If you are so constituted that advice is difficult to take — substitute some thinking of your own. If, in spite of the above, you still make mistakes remember the old saying — anyone can make a mistake — only a fool makes the same one twice. PRINCIPAL’S ADDRESS To the Class of 1952 There is always a tinge of satisfaction, of sadness, of apprehension that seems to hover over me when called to give a message to a graduating class. You have spent many happy years together here at Hartford High School and will continue to spend many more happy years in various fields of endeavor which you will choose to follow. Whatever path you follow, do it realistically, for the growing temper of the time is unmistakable and its implications must be faced in a realistic manner. Best wishes to you all from the members of the faculty. — John A. Freitas 4 — Eugene Hoyt SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS Although many of us seem anxious for graduation to arrive, I believe we will all miss many of the things we have enjoyed for the last twelve years. Our teachers and parents have been cooperating in trying to teach us how to carry on after we leave school. We have been fortunate in having wonderful teachers to guide us and each member of the class appreciates them. Graduating from high school is one of the high points of most people’s lives. It isn’t the end of anything; it is just the beginning. The world is full of chances for success of ourselves and of the world in which we take our places as adults. As we leave school, I think each member of this class is capable of being a success in everything he or she undertakes. I hope my classmates carry with them into their future associations the spirit of cooperation and the sense of responsibility which we have been taught at Hartford High School. — Gordon Ramsay STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS “Something’s hidden. Go and find it. Go and look behind the ranges Something’s lost behind the ranges; Lost and waiting for you— Go!’’ — Kipling To me, the words of Kipling express my wishes to the student body. If we do not participate in extra-curricular activities, we lose a very important and meaningful part of our high school days. The work, the sweat, and the friendships made are all a part of the sense of satisfaction that comes through working together as a unit on the many projects that the various organizations of our school sponsor. I urge each member of the student body to find some activities which give him a chance to develop his varied interests. The Student Council through its activities tries to give the student body opportunities to enjoy and learn at the same time through the many programs offered. The Student Council of 1951-52 wishes to express its appreciation to the student body for their cooperation and support. None of our plans this year could have been successful without your cooperation. I would like to thank all the Council members, the student body, and the faculty for their splendid help. I wish to next year’s president a prosperous and pleasant year. 5 — Marilyn Sleeper KEY STAFF Editor-in-Chief.............Phyllis Waterman Business Manager.........................Gloria Densmore Circulation Manager...........

GIRLS’ AND BOYS’ STATE Each May a group of happy girls and boys are informed they have been picked to represent the school at Girls’ State in Montpelier, and Boys’ State in Northfield. These week-long leadership training groups teach the laws and proceedings of our Government activities. Those who attend return with a greatly strengthened sense of civic responsibilities. 28 29 CHEAPER by the DOZEN NOVEMBER 2, 1951 32 33 34 35 CLASS WILL We, the Class of 1952, having more in our hearts than in our pockets and being of as sound a mind as possible at this late date, do hereby bequeath to our underclassmates and teachers all our worldly possessions, qualities and traits.

CLASS OF 1953 President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Sponsors Norma Conley John Meagher Sandra Freitas Mary Lavery Miss Marchetta Miss Kingsbury Mr. Fredyma V hen the Class of 1953 at last became juniors, we realized that it was the turning point of our high school career. To achieve future ambitions, proper preparations must be made mainly through the development of a spirit of cooperation and a sense of responsibility throughout school, home, and community. From the standpoint of the above, our Junior Prom was a great social success, as were also the class play and assembly. We sincerely hope that next year will find us all able and willing to cope with the trials and responsibilities which will occur throughout the Senior year.

Donald Coutermarsh Sheila Mock Judith Freitas JUNIOR HIGH CARNIVAL Each year in October the junior high has the use of the gym for its carnival. The program includes a poster contest, a pre-sale ticket contest, a melodrama followed by many games of chance and skill arranged around the hall. As a preview, four girls, Margaret Mossey, Myrna Pelkey, Myrna Lambert, and Joyce Henderson presented a skit entitled “Lost - One Pocketbook” for the assembly program. Room 12 won the clown award for having sold the greatest number of tickets in the pre-sale contest. The net profit was $154.29. 54 55 E The Hartford Hymn Evelyn Dodge ’54 Mildred Whitcomb Above the highest clouds it soars, And ’cross the ocean blue, The blue and white of Hartford High Will make our dreams come true.

H. S. Band has been seen at the head of several town parades this past year though there have been fewer public appearances than in some years as the band has been in the process of re-building. With the addition of four french horns and a bassoon the band is completely balanced. In November the band had joint concerts with Windsor. We had a fine time making many new and lasting friendships as well as receiving valuable musical experiences. The annual Spring Band Concert in May was well received by a large crowd. Some of the more skilled players participated in the All-State Band at Burlington in May. The full band auditioned and marched in a gala parade at the 25th Anniversary of the Vermont State Festival. Concluding an active year, the band again played at the Sportsman’s Show in the latter part of May.

A CAPELLA CHOIR President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Sponsor Mildred Toomey Neil Carpenter Barbara Utton Jane Rogers Mrs. Whitcomb Despite the loss suffered last year at graduation, the choir has come back this year to make outstanding gains and advances. One of the compositions mastered this year was the “Messe Solennelle’ by Gounod. This was sung also at the State Music Festival at Burlington, in which some of the students participated. Other activities include the auditions at Burlington, the annual concert and a short program for the State Music Educators. Selected individuals went to New Britain, Connecticut, to participate in the New England Festival, and sang under the direction of Morton J. Luvaas. 60 First Row (left to right): Kathleen Curtis.

With the addition of two fiddles and three cellos the string section has grown in size and skill. Several orchestra members represented our school in the All-State Orchestra. The complete orchestra auditioned at Burlington at the State Festival in May. In June, the orchestra supplied the traditional music to make graduation complete. 61 62 Left to right: Phyllis Waterman.

With seven letter-men graduating, Coach Murphy will have many vacancies to fill from the ranks of the loyal substitutes on last fall’s squad. The enthusiastic support of the recently formed Booster Club increased attendance at both home and away games. Bobby Farmer made first string on the Twin State Valley League and Gordon Ramsay was selected as utility player; Ernie Reeves, Roger Courtemanche, and Frank Reed received honorable mention.

Under the able supervision of Miss Vaughn, the season ended with eleven wins, two losses, and one tie. The starting team was made up of Jane Rogers, Dawn Orcutt, Jean Leavitt, Mildred Toomey, Kathleen Curtis, and Susan Blanchard. Able subs were Ruth Carter, Phyllis Fogg, Patricia Agan, Marietta Sacco, Joan Grenon, and Cynthia Couture. Out of the ten varsity members, only two are returning next year. The loss will be heavy, but the team is fortunate in having several good prospects. Eloise Heavisides and Anita Blake were the ever helpful managers.

STUDENT COUNCIL President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Sponsor Marilyn Sleeper James Dailey Mildred Toomey Gloria Densmore Mr. Gates Since the Student Council is the student body’s source of self-government, it is an important organization in the school. Many school activities have been planned in the new Student Council room. The Council sold concessions at basketball and football games. The proceeds from concessions sold at several of the games went to the Vermont Heart Association and the March of Dimes. It printed basketball schedules for the students. Another function of the Council was the selling of Student Activity tickets. It revised the Constitution, the point system, and the traffic system to meet the needs of the changes in the school next year. The Council sponsored a bulletin board contest which improved the looks of the main hall. It held activity period dances twice a month giving the students a chance to enjoy themselves and receive instruction. The Class Plays were again sponsored by the Council.
