THE RAMBLER Senior Class History Our first recollection of Northfield High School was Sub-Freshman Day in the spring of '46, when we were marshalled through its doors for the first time and made to feel welcome by Principal N. Richard Butler, the faculty, and some of the members of the slightly superior classes, whom we were soon to learn to respect and follow as ex- amples. Never will be forgotten the wonderful pep talk delivered to us by Mr. Butler as he tried to prepare us for our next few years, three-fourths of which was to be spent at N. H. S. trying to gather knowledge and wisdom from our often exasperated teachers. As freshmen, we didn't quite grasp the meaning of it all, but we have had four long years to think it over and most of us have realized that our education has contributed much to starting us out with our best foot forward. The first big step that fall was getting acquainted with each other and electing class officers, under the supervision of Mrs. Brown, our class adviser. The person to hold the honored position as first president of the Class of '50 was Robert. Brassard, who led our class very ably for two years. Other class ofiicers were vice president, Marjorie Gifiing secretary, Connie Sargent, and treasurer, Irene Hebert. We did not contribute much to the social activities that first year, as we were too busy getting settled and learning the routine we were to live by for the next three years. We did win the one-act play contest, due to the careful coaching of Mrs. Brown and the talented acting of some of the members of our class. That same spring we bade a sorrowful farewell to our principal, Mr. Butler, who left to accept a better position in his teaching professiong but the next fall, we glad- ly welcomed Mr. George Allison, who took over the difficult, but successful task of put- ting us through our next two years of absorbing knowledge at Northfield High. As sophomores, we presented the Freshman Reception, one of our most suc- cessful undertakings of the year. Our only other enterprises of the year were a few small school dances and parties, where a group of students danced to the music of the ever-popular phonograph and filled up on sandwiches and other eats furnished by the various committees. The reason fa vain onej, of these shindigs was to increase the de- pleted class treasury. We began the second half of this era as juniors, with class officers as follows: president, Max Templetong vice president, Pat Mazuzang secretary, Randall Bell, treas- urer, Hazel Greenslit. We were pretty happy that year, having only one superior class above usg and we joined more in the social activities. The highlight of them all was our presentation of the Junior Prom, which, after much hard work and planning, was judged as one of the best in many years. Music was furnished by the Catamounts. Many days of labor and neglected school work had been put into this unique activity, but we felt it was worth it after hearing the remarks of our classmates and other citizens of the town who had patronized the Prom. Also, that same spring, as successors to the Senior Class, we put out our first issue of the school paper, Rambles, with Max Templeton as editor, Hazel Greenslit as fContinued on page 29.1
