MENTAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT Springtime is always a true revelation of beauty, for each bursting bloom and each bit of green comes forth with all its finery. Later as the season advances nature enters into a more mature state of development. At this time she appears more beauttul than ever, for all of her glories lay open and they shed sweet fragrances and shadowy rays on more inanimate objects. When youth is in its spring its heart and mind are eager and ready to be nourished by the fertility of education. The students of Montpelier High are revolving through this period, and each year a class surmounts, which has blossomed fully and is ready to spread its radiant gleams of knowledge on the world about. Surely all intelligent students shall accom- plish this aim, for it is the cosmopolitan man that prospers and inspires. And then, when the whole world shall View the accomplishments of those people who have enlarged their capacity for learning, shall we acknowledge the beauty in mental growth and development! -Harriette Henry Harriette Henry Page 22

SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Left to Right: Victor Thorpe, Treasurer, Miss Burns, Advisor, Virginia Gabriel, Secretary, Eugene Hershey, Vice President, Clinton Bartley, President. FORWARD INTO BATTLE Seek Careers in Different Fields The channels of industry and livelihood which we follow are varied and numerous. Indeed, they must be, for each individual requires a different course. God has so planned land with greatest wisdom, tool the human race that no two people are alike, neither in physical characteristics nor in those endowments of mind through which each of us is fitted for a purpose. God has given each of us a special work to do. lt is our duty to mankind to enlarge our talents and to devote our lives to the betterment of the world in which we live. This duty, we, the Senior class of nineteen hundred and thirty seven, have endeavored to keep foremost in our minds. This duty we have more keenly realized as we prepare to take our place in our own particular realm, as have the classes who preceded us. Few there are among us who will attain those heights of which we dream. They are only a part of our fancy, but still, are vital factors in maintaining good morals and worthy ambitions. Yet it is far better to live a good life, a beautiful life, and a wholesome life. Our careers are ahead of us, yet school life for many will be over when we receive the diploma of our achievement. Therefore, let us glance back- ward for a moment over that part of the road which we thus far have trav- elled. Surely we are but started on a long and vigorous journey. The start- ing point in our learning is almost as obscure as the path stretching onward into the future. Little else of anything which pertains to the growth of our ideals and ambition can be found except those which we fostered during our school days. Through eight years of primary and elementary training, and through four years of high school we have cultivated our hopes and desires. Talents have been displayed in numerous fields, on the football field, on the basketball floor, in dramatics, of which we took part in our Iunior year when we successfully presented Penrod and Sam. This year we are looking proudly forward to the publication of our Annual and to the Senior play. Lastly, and with many a heartache, we are about to experience something new in life-the time when we must leave our happy school days and face the prospect of realizing the dreams we have cherished for so long. lt will not be an easy task. Indeed some will perhaps fail. Yet the education of which we have been offered a generous portion, will, we hope, keep each and everyone of us, from wandering from our true course.-Martha Stickney Page 23
