O W Lets's go to the fair! The shout echoes through the halls and down the streets of Northampton the first week of September. The city is stirred with renewed life by the simultaneous opening of schools and the Tri-County Fair. Every afternoon dismissal brings the rush of feet, the squeal of tires, the impatient Stand back! of the bus drivers as they try to close the doors of bulging busses - all hurried departures for the fair grounds. The reason? The fair is an event of significance in the lives of Northampton students. Many have worked on exhibits, some are exhibitors, others find a means of employment. For still others it gives the chance to meet new faces and to gain knowledge even while enjoying fine entertainment. This interest has not just happened. For one hundred and forty years since the first fair in 1818, students have delighted in this annual event. The Three County Fair was first instituted by a small group of farmers to exhibit their stock and show their prowess with a plow. From this it has grown to occupy twenty-two acres of land and numerous building on what is now Bridge Street. This growth, however, has not been without its setbacksg but the people of Northampton have responded with projects to keep the fair alive. These efforts have made the fair what it is today - one of the finest and most widely known in New England. Since a fair is a display of cooperative achievement, the Seniors wish to present a miniature fair of their own between the covers of our 1958 NESAKI. Come one, come all! The midway lies before you. Let's go to the fair! 0. . - ' s May., ,, gqfayf a aa Ad fl S g 'vll f j QF Biiatfl 9 f j . X 'e'e' ' ' Smit 4 ,12
