The theme which is the class of 1945 may not always be evident: nevertheless, it is this theme that is the motivating force throughout the book. Nesaki means remem- branceg, and to us, the class of 1945, this book will mean the momentary recapture of our high school days.

WINIFRED TERRY The end of joy and all prosperity Is death at last - thorough his course and might. After the day there cometh the dark night: For though the days be never so long, At last the bell ringeth to even-song. ' - Hawes Her memory will not die swiftly. Miss Terry was loved, admired, respected by all who knew her - both her colleagues and her students. In her many years as teacher of English, and later as head of the department, she served Northampton High School faithfully and well - not merely instructing her pupils, but trying to instill in them some of her own high courage and enthusiasm. In return for her years of service we can pay her memory only inadequate tribute with these words. 6 Qlfjgooa' qfmemories, a pezgnantpictnre . . . that is af! this will he in a few years.

Barry Administration Administration is a two dollar word which, according to Webster, means the action of the execu- tives in the exercise of their political powers . When that word is used in connection with the'Northampton School System, it is employed exactly according to meaning. Our chief executive is Mr. Barry, the superintendent, whose duty it is to carry out the policies made by the school committee, and who, also, is the man mainly in charge of managing the school government, as well as supervising the faculty members and the methods of teaching used by that group. Invaluable to Mr. Barry in his work are his secretaries, Miss Perkins and Miss Spear, who returned this year after her retirement in 1941. The center of all school activities is, of course, the main office, where problems prevalent in any high school are dealt with by Mr. Darby and his staff. Mr. Foran, the vice-principal, and Miss Doppmann, Dean of Girls, are in charge of discipline, tardy slips, and early dismissals. The only change that occured this year in the ofhce was the resignation of Miss Bette Coffey who was secretary to the principal for the past four years. Her position was filled temporarily by Mrs. William Nehring, a graduate of N.H.S. Later in the year Miss Theodora Herman became Mr. Darby's secretary, while Miss Ruth Barton divided her time between the two offices. Equally important in the administration is the faculty, whose work is especially difiicult under wartime conditions and with ever-changing standards. Another essential factor in the administration is the group of janitors and cooks, without whom the school could not function. The part played by the student body in the adminis- tration must not be overlooked. They work in the library and in the cafeteria. The marshals patrol the halls and stairways, keeping order when the crowds swarm out between classes. In addition the Pro Merito Club, the scholastic honor society, always works to maintain high standards at N.H.S. The most important student organization is the Student Council, which is comprised of representatives elected by the various classes. This vital admin- istrative and legislative body forms a liaison between the student body and the faculty. Every executive on the administering board, the respective staff members, the faculty, and the school committee, together with the various student organi- zations are responsible for the smooth running of Northampton High School. Cooks William Parnell, Anne Bouthillette, Catherine Mann Northampton High's capable and cooperative corps of janitors are always dependable, always ready to help, always faithful in their work, One of the most essential groups in the high school, the janitors, seem to know everything about N.H.S. They wage a relentless cam- paign against dirt and dust in their daily routine of polishing windows, sweeping corridors, and attending to the many items that come within their line of duty. The war has made planning a well-balanced menu for nearly nine hundred students and teachers more diffi- cult for the cooks and cafeteria staff than ever before. In spite of this fact Mr. Parnell and his capable assist- ants have completed a very successful year. The cafeteria was called upon to cater to the Western Massachusetts League of School Publication Conven- tion early in December and later to the Football Banquet. Whenever they olliciate, a good meal is the satisfying result.

It was the largest in history because of the four full-sized classes this year. In order to provide the freshmen class with representatives on the Student Council and class officers an amendment to the Student Association Constitution was necessary. A greater effort was made this year to acquaint all students with the present system of Student govern- ment. Under the functioning plan the Student Council, composed of a specified number of representatives from each of the classes, the four class presidents, the cap- tain of the marshals, and the president and vice- president of the council, is the center of all official student activities. The individual class administra- tions cooperate in functions with which they are concerned. Such was the case with the organization of Booster Day activities, including the presentation of pep assemblies and promotion of ticket sales. In its capacity as a medium between the adminis- tration and student body, the Student Council com- pleted work on the point system begun last year, appointed and assigned marshals, supervised class elections and investigated and reported on all matters referred to it by members of the faculty and student body.

Nash Pro Merito Second only to the Student Council in promoting the interests and work of the school is the Pro Merito Scholastic Honor Society. Pro Merito is associated with the national organization cf the same name and is similar to it in principles and objectives. In giving recognition to the honor students, the organization feels it is creating a much needed interest in scholastic endeavor. Each year the school looks forward to the announcement of that year's Pro Merito list. Membership in the society is open to any junior or senior who maintains an average of B or higher in his regular courses. The Pro Merito Society corresponds to the junior high honor roll system, but here Pro Merito is one of the school's most active organizations. In general, Pro Merito undertakes projects and adopts a program which is aimed at improving, developing, and advancing the facilities and good interests of Northampton High School.

Houck Marshals After a few weeks in the building ln 1940, the Student Council decided that a traffic system would have to be devised to avoid confusion in the corridors while pass- ing between classes. As a result the marshaling system was instituted and marshals appointed from the senior and junior boys. They were posted on the landings of both the front and back stairs and in the cafeteria during lunch period. In 1943 it was deemed necessary to have girl marshals to supervise the girls' rest rooms during the X period, and between classes. Faculty supervisors for the marshals are Mr. Foran and Miss Doppmann. Appointment of marshals is a duty of the Student Council and in the fall the marshals for the year are chosen. Careful consideration is given to the character of those appointed, as they have the responsibility of of assisting in the smooth running of the school day. GIRL MARSHALS First row - D. Kuzmeski, B.

Eddy Dues Collectors The high school can take pride in the fact that all student activities are supported by the Student Fund. Those who pay the ten cent weekly dues are entitled to attend games, dances, and plays, and to receive the Students' Review and Nesaki. The Student Fund and pays for athletic equipment, costumes, scenery, and properties for dramatic productions, and assemblies. It has placed student activities on a sound and prac- tical financial basisg without it no work of the school could be accomplished. 1... The Student War Savings Committee was respon- sible for maintaining the high school's 10032. record in War Stamp and Bond purchases. This result was secured through the cooperation of home room war stamp collectors, and faculty supervisors. In March, 1944, Northampton High School received a Minute Man Flag from the treasury Department for its IOOZ participation. In addition to this, Northampton High School was awarded a facsimile of the original Bill of Rights Manuscript because of its high record in the Schools-at-War Program.

Morin Library Staff In October a call was put out for junior and senior commerical girls to work in the library. A large group responded. These girls issued library slips, arranged and rearranged books, stamped and renewed them, and. in short, did all work connected with the library. At Christmas the girls decorated the library in festive greens and had a decorated tree on one of the tables. Miss Litchfield and Miss Elliot have assisted in this necessary part of our administration. Every day this loyal crew of cafeteria workers assist Mr. Parnell and his staff. The cafeteria help do a thousand and one tasks which are important in the serving of lunches to nearly nine hundred people. They help prepare meals, dispense ice cream and brownies, serve as cashiers, and, of course, do the inevitable k. p. The students who work in the cafeteria are on hand every lunch period to do their very useful and important jobs. Cafeteria Workers CAFETERIA WORKERS Left to right - D. Dubois, D. Brodeur, L.

Guilloton Teachers and Classes This year, to the usual problems of war time teaching, was added another burden-the presence of a new large class in the high school. The larger freshman class necessitated the addition of new instructors to the staff. It was up to these teachers to impress upon the pupils the great need for education and to dissuade students from leaving school. The teachers knew that this year would be a difficult one but they took this in their stride. There wasalarge number of enlistments and a still larger number of students who had to prepare for the armed services rather than for college. The teachers also had to under- stand the individual problems of pupils living under the strain of war time. With the realization that the war was going to be hard and long, high school classes took on added sig- nificance. Students realized that a sound educational background was not only necessary for the present, but also for the post war world. Chemistry, physics, radio and code, elements of aeronatics, and solid and trig classes showed increased enrollments. Physical educa- tion was intensified for everyone to meet the tougher requirements of war training. Home nursing became a must for senior girls. Many boys and girls, understanding the importance of these subjects during war time, wisely worked these studies into their curriculum. The boys of the senior class knew that service in the armed forces was inevitable and prepared themselves accordingly. Northampton High School heard the challenge and answered with the Class of 1945. 1291+ s EARL H. ADAMS Hen November 23, 1927 General.

Malicious gossips Annals of '45 The class of 1945. When these magic words sounded in our 'ears, we took the first stride toward becoming the cooperative, spirited unit that is the class of '45, Entering high school meant that students, coming from all the schools in the city, must revise not only their friendships and loyalties, but their very ways of thinking. We came to high school as sophomores, met the usual frigidity of the juniors, and found the seniors sophisticated and blasc. But we verdant sophomores had that quality which combined pride in our school with the will to work to improve it. It's called school spirit. We performed our first function as a class by electing our ofiicers. We chose Don Weidhaas, presidentg Fran Maher, vice-presidentg Bob Torpey, treasurerg and JoAnne Kraushaar, secretary. Our first major activity was to give a dance. The Spring Dance established our reputation far clever, unusual decorations by featuring a wishing-well in the center of the dance floor. In our junior year we gave the first dance of the season, a Harvest Dance, remem- bered for the scarecrow centerpiece and the harvest moon, which floated overhead. The traditional junior-. senior prom held that breathless last time feeling for some, while for us there was a growing realization that we, too, would have our last dance. In our senior year it was our class who took the lead by giving the Fresh- men-Sophomore Reception for the incoming under- classmen. In our junior year we became welded into the class that had a growing reputation for school and class spirit. We were more certain of ourselves and more neady to enjoy high school. It was the year when we decided which activities would occupy most of our time. Our junior officers were Don Weidhaas, president: Bill Stringfellow, vice-president, Fran Maher, treas- urer, ,-and JoAnne Kraushaar, secretary. 5 We enjoyed both active and spectator participation in sports. The big event of the sport's year.was, of course, Booster Day. We were introduced to this custom as sophomores, but it wasn't until we were juniors 'that we had a really memorable Booster Day. We. will never forget the parade downtown, the rally on the City Hall steps, and hours of hoarse, wild cheer- ing. On-.our victorious senior Booster Day we followed the precedent set the year before with the usual singing and cheering. This time the parade was led by a horse and wagon which conveyed the cheerleaders. Inci- dentally we are the first class in the history of N.H.S. to win all our Booster Days. Another grand tradition set in our junior year was the Booster Night show. We presented a gala minstrel show which also featured the cheerleaders and the band. As seniors we helped produce the Gay Nineties Revue, wonderful from the first song to the finale when the cheerleaders and the band led us in our stirring Touchdown Song. ' We started our senior year with that poignant last chance feeling. We knew that this was our year, that we were the leaders in school life, and that whatever we intended to accomplish in high school must be done now. We shall long remember our outstanding athletes, our peppy cheerleaders, our glorious band, and all the other leaders of school activity. We elected Don Weidhaas, Student Council president, and Bill Stringfellow, vice-president. Our class officers were Jupe Gleason, presidentg Bill Welch, vice-presidentg and Fran Maher, secretary-treasurer. There are so many other things we'll remember about high school - the plays and operettas, the cafeteria rush, our classes and those delightful exams, little discussion groups in the halls, and our many friends. An integral part of our school life was the late after- noon get-togethers in the Food Shoppe and the College Diner. We also frequented the movies, the skating rink, and the bowling alleys. Many delightful times, including our class picnics, were held at Look Park. For outside work we were store clerks, mailmen, or were numbered among the Grant Plant Gang . The war brought many changes. We put our extra money into war stamps, worked at the Red Cross, joined C.A.P., and saw our classmates leave to join the armed forces. When we gave our last school cheer, when we heard our band play for the last time, and when the last strains of Pomp and Circumstance died out, we were graduates of Northampton High School.

Our home rooms were on the second floor, our seats in assembly hall were better, and usually we ate second luncn period. We elected Bob Saner our President and Jerry Mensel our Secretary-Treasurer. Very soon after entering our junior year it became evident that the members of the Class of '46 would not be content to stay in the background. Myron Galusha, George Hauck and Don Bell played in many hard fought games, while a short time later Louis Kmetz, Bob Saner, and Alvin Tonet gave Northampton High's opponents something to think about. Out in front leading the cheering section were found three junior damsels, jean Miller, Joyce Hobson and Dot Faulkner. These are only a few of the typical juniors. The pro- gram for the Gay Nineties Revue , the list ofStudenl's Reviezu and Nesaki Junior Apprentices, the cast of Out of the Frying Pan , and the junior members of the other clubs reveal that there are many more out- standing Juniors. At last, in June, the long anticipated Junior-Senior Prom brought to a fitting conclusion the end of a very successful year for the class of 1946. ' 4.

After we became accustomed to our new routine, we chose Bojo Conz our president, Jim Wong vice-president, and our secretary Carolyn Cranson. J im Laughlin and Bojo soon gained recog- nition on the football field. With 'the formation of the large Sophomore Dramatic Club, Ronnie Brassord was elected President. This group presented Why the 'Chimes Rang , a colorful Christmas pageant. Pat Graves became the first Sophomore to be on the cheer- ing squad in many years. In the next two years we, the Class of 1947, intend to keep up the fine tradition of good sportsmanship and hard work for the benefit of Northampton High School.

The final tally showed us that Teddy Foley was our Presidentg Jim Shea, vice-president and Mary McBreen, secretary- treasurer. Although some organizations were not open to us, Teddy Foley and Don Sullivan promptly joined the basketball team and didn't do so badly, either. Although we don't look very important now because of our size, we will grow and with us will grow the prestige and honor of Northampton High School.

Cranson Football This year's Northampton High School football team had one of the most successful seasons in its long and colorful career. After a slow start the Hamp aggrega- tion went out to win the next five out of six games. The climax of the winning streak was our victory over a strong Greenfield eleven, the first in twenty-five years. This tamed even our traditional Booster Day march over Amherst. September 23, 1944 West Springfield 13 Hamp 6 In the first game of the year the Northampton High School team showed good aggressive football, but lacked the needed scoring punch. The line led by Tanker Lynch showed fine defensive ability. Hamp tried in vain to stage a comeback in the last quarter, but the whistle blew at the score of 13 to 6. September 30, 1944 Turners 41 Hamp 0 The second encounter of the season turned out to be the worst defeat that the Blue and Gold suffered all season. The upriver team purely outclassed the local eleven. Turners scored once in the Hrst quarter and 114 twice in the second to go ahead with a 21-0 edge. In the third period Hamp threatened, but they were held, and Turners went on to score three touchdowns. October 7, 1944 Chicopee 0 Hamp 12 After the Turners Falls debacle Hamp came back with the true spirit of old N.H.S. Perhaps it was just the kick they needed, for a revived club came back to down Chicopee, and thereby started a tidy chain of victories up to the end of the season. The first touch- down came after a fifty yard march in the second quarter. Torpey scoring from the one-foot line. The attempted conversion was wide. The second touch- down came on a sweep around end by Mulvaney, after a Chicopee fumble was brought to the twelve yard marker. On the second half the local eleven threatened twice, but the scoring for the day was over and Hamp won 12-0. October 12, 1944 Greenfield 6 Hamp 19 The Columbus Day game will be an unforgetable in our memories. The game found us without any great hope of winning. In fact it was hoped that our opponents would be held to two touchdowns. Imagine the roar of our rooters when the good old Blue and Gold broke a twenty-five year jinx. Both teams battled through the first half with a resultant 6-6 tie. In the third period Hamp scored on a trick play, Conz to Noonan, and to Torpey who crossed the goal line. After the point, Hamp held a 13-6 lead. In the last quarter Gleason drove to the ten, and Conz went over for the final score, a 19-6 triumph. October,21, 1944 Westfield 13 Hamp 7 A fumble in the final minutes of the game resulted in a defeat which temporarily dampened our spirits. It was one of our bad days. A brilliant pass interception by Conz in the first period brought the ball down to the 12 yard line. From there it was carried across on downs, Gleason making it from the one yard line, score 7-0. In the second quarter a 13 yard pass by Westfield tallied, score 7-6. From there on the teams battled up and down the field. It looked as though We had wrapped up another one, when ---- ! Westfield was marching down the field. On our three yard line, the crowd thrilled to see a fumble which was as quickly recovered by a Westfield player beyond the goal line. October 28, 1944 Amherst 12 Hamp 14 Don Mulvaney K .ig f-i. ,Iupe Gleason A record breaking Booster Day crowd of 3500 saw Hamp get off to a shaky start when.Coach Gafney started off with the second team. When we fumbled in the kick-off, Amherst put itself on the eighteen yard line. From there they easily overwhelmed our club, pushing across on downs. Bob--Torpey X 115 Capt. Jack Murphy Bill Welch The second period began with our first team pretty well in action. The break came when Walker ran a punt back to the midfield stripe, followed by a 31 yard gain around right end by Gleason. Kearney Field rocked as a Walker, Welch, Torpey combination took the ball into end zone. A completed Walker to Mulvaney pass made the extra point. The high point of the third period came when Hamp outsmarted Amherst by successfully passing on a fourth down. This started a march to the eight yard line, and in the beginning of the fourth quarter Torpey scored from the two. A successful lateral, Gleason to Walker, scored and we led 14-6. Amherst was' not conceding defeat, and taking advantage of an incomplete pass, moved to another touchdown. Score 14-12, with two minutes to play. A fumble gave us a score, but the clock ran out before we could warm up again. Hamp tied up another victory. November 4, 1944 , Trade 7 Hamp 18 There was no score in the first period, which ended on Trade's 40 yard line. In the second period a double lateral, Torpey to Gross to Conz, took us into pay dirt. A hard hitting Trade team came back in the third, and in a sustained drive of 50 yards, pinned Hamp to the wall for 6 points, conversion successful. In the final period Hamp sprang to life, and with the same lateral, went to the 30 yard line. Mulvaney doing the honors, we pushed to scoring position, so Torpey could smash across. A second opportunity came when a Trade pass, blocked by Torpey, bounced into Murphy's arms who went to the 2 yard line. Ciaschini lunged off tackle and again Hamp scored. It was, in the bag - 18-7. November 11, 1944 Classical 7 V Hamp 12 A cold grey Armistice Day found us nosing out a fighting Classical club, which kept us on the jump. The highlights were the two scoring plays of the game- the first when Red Gleason, Hamp's iieeted-footed half- back, bounced loose off tackle and scampered 36 yards to score. The second, when Mulvaney intercepted a pass and made a spectacular 60 yard run to the end zone. November 23, 1944 Holyoke 37 Hamp 7 The annual Thanksgiving Day classic ended with the Blue and' Gold bowing to a powerful Holyoke squad. It was not a fitting ending to our best season, as Holyoke outclassed us for the whole sixty minutes of the game. They ran up and array of touchdowns, one in the first period, three in the second, and the final in the last period. Our score occured when Torpey intercepted a pass, and raced 70 yards for a touchdown. Our season resulted in 5 wins out of 8 plays. It was our best team in years, but we learned we could be better. Next year, let's back our team with a school spirit which will produce still more victories. The Class of 1945 will remember and long be indebted to the passing power of Murphy, Mulvaney, and Walkerg to the defensive genius of Lynch, Maher, Malynowski, and Grossg to the fiashy runs of Gleason, Ciaschini and Conzg to our quarterback, Welchg to our powerman, Torpeyg and our all-star, Gleason. On the Offensive Looks Good, Red! ,ummm ,L . Who's Got the Ball? Take It Away NORTHAMPTON HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM First row - M. O'Keefe, R. Korytoski, C. Gleason, A. Tonet, R. Vanasse Second row - T. Britt, manager: R. Saner, F. Ames, A. Wayte, D. Weidhaas, L. Kmetz, Coach Wright Basketball The basketball team opened its 44-45 season on Dec. 12 with an impressive 38-16 win over South Deerfield High. This win was followed by another during the same week. The loser was Smith Academy by a 51-20 count. The hoopmen then traveled across the river during Christmas vacation to take a close decision over Hopkins Academy. After a see-sawing affair the Hampers emerged on the long end of a 35-33 score. On December 21st the Valley League drew back its curtain with the Blue and Gold in the Westfield Gym. From the opening whistle until the end, the game was a closely contested affair with the visitors holding a 18-16 half time lead. Vanasse's second half scoring spree led the Hampers to a 38-35 win. A return game with the Smith Academy team found the locals once again too tall and fast for the Hatfield boys. This fifth win was a 56-21 count. The following fray found the boys invading Holyoke to play St. Jeromes. After a slow start the Hampers gathered their 6th win into camp by 52-32 victory over the Parochial Leaguers. Still on the road the team went into the small Chicopee gym for the second Valley League tussle. The Meadow City boys' prospects of an undefeated season were brought to an end. The game ended with the Hampers on the short end of the score for the first time 35-27. Back in the F eiker Gym on J anuary 12, Northampton played host to the strong Holyoke combine. Before a jam-packed house the Holyoke team emerged with a 44-41 victory. It was a game that left many with heavy hearts for the Wrightmen played a first class game losing the lead in the final minute. Driving north to Greenfield the Blue and Gold met the dark horse of the league. The Greenies showed that they could give any team a run for their money. Northampton came out on top by a slim 41-40 margin. With the seasons record now at 7 wins and 2 defeats, Captain Gleason led his mates to win number eight over Hopkins with four double deckers to break a 17- 17 tie, the final being 49-31. The first half of the Valley League ended with the boys winning by a 31-point margin. The victim of this basket barrage was Turners Falls, 54-23. On February 2, the second round of the Valley League got under way with Northampton downing Westfield in the local gym for the second time, 42-32. Leaving the league for a game, Hamp suffered its worst defeat at the hands of the undefeated Williston team 56-31. Chicopee came on February 9th to play Hamp, and went on to win the game 34-26. This defeat knocked Hamp out of the chance for Valley League honors. Greenfield followed Chicopee here and received a second-half b-arrage after holding a 20-17 first-half lead. The final score was 57-23. Then Holyoke High was host to Hamp. The Holyokers took another heartbreaker from the fellows 36-35. As a spectator I would like everyone to re- member the third quarter basket awarded Holyoke. It cost us first honors in the league. Once again at horrie Hamp met St. Jeromes of Holyoke. The Blue and Gold netted its twelfth win. On Saturday night the annual benefit double header was held. Both Northampton and St. Michaels went down to defeat. The scores were Amherst 39, St. Mikes 385 Adams 38, Hamp 29. This drew to a close for the Senior members of the team their career on the polished surface of Feiker gym. The last two games were both decided victories for the Blue and Gold. On Tuesday, February 28, the team played South Deerfield, winning 42-23. The close-out game for the season was at Turner's Falls. The boys rolled up the season's highest score, emerging a 60-30 victor. SHORT SHORTS: Harnp ended second in league com- petition behind Holyoke. Vanasse was season's high scorer with 2215 O'Keefe next 2173 Korytoski, 1665 Gleason, 1015 Tonet, 67. The per- centage was a .700. 14 wins and 6 defeats.

In fact, because of the inability of some teams to get here, the Sophomore-Freshmen members had to play the junior members in many preliminary games, In their first game, our Seconds met South Deerfield. The crowd witnessed a snappy organization emerge a 48-13 victor. Led by Galusha, we also won the second contest against Hopkins, 38-19. However, in their first Valley League competition, Westfield came out on the short end of an 18-16 score. Back in their own gym, the Seconds swamped Smith Academy 47-11. A return game rolled up a convincing 30-11 triumph against Hopkins. In the most closely contested game of their season, the Westfield team came out on the long end of the score in the last minute of play - 30-27 Next the seconds and the reserves of the first team combined to overcome a Williston half-time 23-17 lead. Ames' foul with seconds remaining won the game 34 - 33. Only three games followed to wind up the season's competition. Our seconds beat the strong St. Catherine's team from Leeds, but lost to the Midway five to end their home season. Finishing in grand style, our com- bine trounced South Deerfield 46-9 At the end of the season, the record stood at 7 vic- tories and 3 defeats. They had good fortune, for the most part, and they'll be returning in the fall to boost the record of N. H. S.

Tenanes, J. Evans Girls' Varsity Baslcetba This years Girls' Varsity basketball team, coached by Miss Bisallon, set up a new high record of eight wins and no defeats. With three capable veteran guards - Joyce Hobson, Barbara Morse, and Dot Matthews - holding a strong line, the team went on to victory after victory against hard-fighting opponents. The forwards made an excellent showing. Irene Mordas was top scorer of the season, but Louise Lyons was a close second. Jean Barry played an excellent floor game and Francine F inck, the newcomer on the first team, proved herself very capable. Although every game provided its share of thrills, the high spots of the season were the two victories over 122 South Deerfield. Not only was this the only team Hamp failed to defeat last year, but it also had boasted a record of not one defeat in three years. The season's record was as follows: Hamp at Easthampton Greenfield at Hamp Easthampton at Hamp Hamp at South Deerfield Smith Academy at Hamp Hamp at Greenfield South Deerfield at Hamp Hamp at Smith Academy 27-6 26-10 36-10 28-11 38A15 28-14 25-12 34-10 First row-P.

Baseball Handicaped by losses received in the first four games, last year's baseball team pulled itself out of a slump and completed a very successful season by winning eight out of their remaining nine games. Hamp entered the Hampshire League again last year and finished second. Amherst, who won the league and reached the finals in the Western Massachusetts tournament, was defeated by Hamp near the end of the season.

Reviewing high school life recalls many daily happen- ings that have grown in personal meaning to all who have shared in the many experiences that are part of the life of an N.H.S. student. Donuts to You Letter Men Of the many activities which contributed to the color and interest of school life were the pep assemblies which aroused our spirit and cheered the team on to a season of gridiron success. The wild enthusiasm which accompanied the Greenfield and Booster Day victories reflected that spirit, as the joyous students paraded through the streets and rallied on the City Hall steps. Never-to-be-forgetten was the Gay Nineties Revue which climaxed Booster Week. On Thanksgiving Friendly Enemies Sitting Pretty In Formation if . Holyoke: I Guess We're Losing Benched Day the largest group of N.H.S. fans ever to attend an out of town game traveled to Holyoke.

Greenfield: Prelude to Victory dramatized the messages of the occasions. Then Old Man Winter let go with all his storm and fury. Winter sports and shoveling snow occupied much of our time. Sleigh rides and skating parties were popular with us. At the basketball games we yelled ourselves hoarse. The season was climaxed by the double header benefit game for the Infantile Paralysis Fund. Need Some Help? The main event of the drama season was Out of the Frying Pan , a gag and laugh provoking comedyq How we enjoyed it! As a welcoming feature the senior class held the Freshman-Sophomore Reception, Dances were a more frequent feature of school life in the spring. A high spot in the spring activities was the memorable Junior- Senior prom. Handsome Waiters Why the Chimes Rang As the year drew to a close, class picnics and intense preparations for class night and graduation consumed much of the time of the seniors.
