DULEY THE CLASS OE 1958 DEDICATE THIS BOOK KNEW Mr. Duley, and I am only one of the thousands of students who remember the short, stocky little figure of a seaman's steady-sure bearing, that gigantic personality found in the incomparable wit, the patient teaching, and the understanding friendship of this man. Well I can see the many-wintered spats which always came forth at Novembefs blasty call to order, the brown felt hat, the front brim of which shaded his keen lively eyes from the weather, or the sun, when he whittled at a miniature barque. In the classroom his voice was never raised above ordinary pitch, his words and thoughts energy-creating. Punctuating his teachings with jokes of which he often said, When you take my course, you've got to take the jokes that go along with it ..., 'I brought the pleasantries of a personal beauty rarely gained by sticking to the text. The last chapel talk before Mr. Duley's retirement found rows of girls just a little thoughfully meditative, with more than a few lumps in many throatsg and Mr. Duley himself, quietly, as of old, interpreting the state of affairs in the world for the last time as an active faculty member. September, with the empty little house next to Revell, it almost seemed as if Northfield had lost a cog in its valuable machineryg but, on the twenty-sixth of December it gained the lost link when, in Gloucester, down where the ocean is prettiest and the ships come in, Mr. Duley gave his heart up to the God in whom he believed, and not indirectly, to the world that knew him. 4 The Worst thing about the business of being a principal is the constant tendency of the school population to graduate. While parents and friends congratulate you on Com- mencement Day, I regret your going. The rules of the game donlt permit regret to the point of interference with the inevitability of diplomas. Nevertheless if I must be frank, I must sign myself sincerely but ruefully your friend. 5.401 I Miss Wilson Miss Lyon Miss Elsie Scott Colors Crimson and Silver Miss BARBARA HATCH Clan Teacher HONORARY MEMBERS Mr. and Mrs. Cyril Sargent Dr. and Mrs. David Porter .

Mrs. Yarnelle was our Captain, And Mrs. Falk, First Mate, Miss Ross and Miss Hatch. at the wheel, Were bound to steer us straight. Peggy Hendrickson was President Of the first Freshman class, For her good leadership we give A toast to this brave lass! On Field Day we were filled with pride To sing, Hail, Northfield, here we are! We set our course and held it, too, Led by the bright six-pointed star. Q But the dark, dark ship of Hermon was ever by our side, The dark, dark ship of Hermon that close to us did glide.J And when the brisk Autumn bid us come, We left our ship a -floating, And climbed a mountain on the shore. It was no day for boating! The class of Thirty-five was there, Our noonday meal they did prepare. Then tired at the close of day, We left the mountain on the shore. Refreshed and happy, all of us, We set out for the sea once more. And so our ship sailed swiftly on Through calm or stormy sea. We did not let cares bother us - For a merry group were we. Finally we came to the end of the year Two days before the other Ships upon the Northfield Blue. We left For home and Mother. 37 T H F I E L D It seemed our little ship was needy 6 The South Hall Ship was she That once had been the Annexj For Northfield Alumnae. 1955-1936 The next year set we forth again, Commander Hatch was leading now, with a right good crew of officers, Captain Henry in the bow, First Mate janet Hartwell next, Secretary Ginny Habbersett, too, With Mary Ellen Weaver to guard the gold, jane Dayton, Cheer Leader, led old songs and new. CBut the dark, dark ship of Hermon lurked ever by our side The dark, dark ship of Hermon, that close to us did glide.D One day, October 12th it was, CAlthough not fourteen ninety-twoj Our Captain, in the lookout Discovered something strange and new: A bird was flying toward us, From the dark ship we could see, To say They're playing football And would like your company. So we watched a football game, Not knowing who was winning, We had such a fine, exciting time! CThis is but the beginninglj For they had a party on that ship, As some can still remember, For we went to that party too, The fourteenth of December. On February Twenty-two We headed into shore To the town of Brattleboro And disembarked once more. We felt just like true pioneers, Wfilling to stand and freeze, And watch with awe as valiant men Flew through the air on skis! 38 W T H I R T Y E I G H X E x W X-s., ' W. , 1' . . rf' f 'Jr'7ww,q, wmfvwpfv FA. --,1 2 J, C 71, 1 ' '..,. l'. 39 T H F I E On the eighteenth of April in Thirty-five, Our little ship was all decked out'l With flags and patriotic things For a gala occasion, no doubt. A gala occasion it was, indeed! A party here at the Sem, Hermon had once invited us, Now we invited them. Forty-four couples attended the thing! Then we all went to Silverthorne Hall To hear Mr. Payne give a talk about Byrd, And a good time was had by all. On the first day of May the Juniors found The little may-baskets we had made, And at their door, the night before Ever so silently, had laid. VV hen Class Day came for the Senior Class, The Sophs were ready and willing, We worked forever and a day To help with lunch-box filling. Nut cups, and candy, and sandwiches, Potatoes and cup cakes and stuff, By the time we had fixed the Chateau up, too, We felt that we'd done enough! This year's log would be incomplete Without a mention of Nature's part In making the good old Connecticut River A rising work of art! Two days before vacation the flood began, The prospects looked pretty dark, But good old thirty-eight came through Like the well-known Noah's Ark! Our first Commencement this year we viewed It was grand fun staying hereg And then quickly off to home again To prepare for our junior year! 40 T H I R T Y E I G H T 1936-37 The skies were filled with sunshine, Not a cloud was seen about, And so we launched our sturdy ship And gaily started out. Miss Hatch was still aboard the ship, Helping Jessie Henry steer, Ginger Reddish was Vice-President, Claottie White the financier! Sally Searle was Secretary then, Tut Gautier was Athletic Rep., And Toni LaCroix led the singing With plenty of vigor and pep. On September twenty-third We were at last allowed To wear class ribbons and march down the aisle Then afterwards, we sang some songs, With the Senior classie, Each one to its Class Teacher, Then both sang To a lassief' Then the Seniors changed ribbons with us And escorted us to class, It was great of them to thus bow to us But such good things soon pass. On September twenty-eight The juniors and Seniors did tramp OE on a joint class picnic At Louise Andrews Camp. 41 N O R W T H F I E L D The Seniors waited on us there And served us very well. And if you'll excuse a bit of slang, They certainly were swell! When Mountain day came, as of course it did, It found us all on the up and up. Field day was great for the juniors, too, As they proudly walked off with the cup. But alas, tragedy was not far away On the river's further side, With a Scarlet Fever Quarantine The Hermon ship did glide. Our hearts were sad, our prospects dark, But Miss Hatch's spirits did not lag, Lets get along without the men And have a party, stag!,' That very thing was what we did -- We had a party without the men. We all had a grand and glorious time, And wouldn't mind Ctoo muchj doing it again! At Marquand Hall, we gathered all For supper, thence to the Gym To see movies about Youth Hosteling, And thus learn lots about a thing Of which our ideas were vague and dim. On February third, once more Down to the Gym we did Hee To see some excellent fencing done, By M. Grasson et ses jeunes filles! Now Northfield, too, has fencing In its excellent repertoire. It's fun when you get the swing of it, But donlt push things too far. Founderls Day came round again On February three, And the array of snow figures Was a beautious sight to see! The next day was the Winter Carnival, We all had loads of fun, But our muscles and throats were weary When the day too soon was done. 42 I R T Y E I G H I' March eighteenth, we picked our tree, A little maple, young and strong, And we hoped that the Seniors would miss it, Though they hunted hard and long. May first again - time flies! Baskets to give and receive And more exciting fun than that I cannot quite conceive! The juniors woke the school up, too, Singing gaily through the hall That was quite a thrill, of course But that is not quite all. Down to Miss XVilson's home we went, Sang there and were quite content, We having awakened all the place, Back to our halls did quickly race. On April twelve we had our picture taken. Lined up grinning in a row. April twenty-four, another party To which many of us did go. May tenth the Seniors went a-hunting, And, unfortunately they found Our tree, and so we had to kneel Before them on the hard wet ground. On May fifteenth was Tree Day, The pageant presented was Cinderella. But alas! to the performance All had to carry an umbrella. The spade orations were given in Silverthorne, When we received the be-ribboned spade, And we'll remember jean Holzworth and Jessie Henry And the grand speeches that they made. This year was Mr. Duley's last, We hated to have it end, VC'e knew we would greatly miss him, Our teacher and our friend. 45 R T H F I Commencement week-end soon drew nigh And the lantern service on Chapel hill, Which we shared with the Seniors, Is a beautiful memory still, It was sad, at graduation, To see our Seniors go, But soon we, too, would be Seniors, And sit in the very front row! 1937-38 Our ship sets sail a final time, Our journey nears its end, Our hopes are high, our hearts are As out to sea our way we Wend. We could not use the Chapel, Which fact caused us to mourn, 44 light R T Y E I G 'Cause when seating day came round, 'Twas held in Silverthorne. To the Juniors we then did sing, And Miss Wilson, class teachers, and such, And for the jimi time One bright sunny day That was the crowning touch! Privileges were soon granted us, As befitted our new-found dignity, A Senior at Northfield Seminary Is a marvelous thing to be. On September twenty-fifth, Cornelia Otis Skinner came, We all were thrilled to have here A person of such fame. On the twenty-seventh of September, As is usual at the Sem., The Juniors and the Seniors had a picnic, And this time we waited on them. The fact that we waited on the whole school On Mountain Day which came early this Fall, Showed that the great honor of being a Senior Isn't such a privilege, after all! Our first privilege at Hermon came in October We saw a football game, then had tea, What a very ordinary thing This association with Hermon is getting to be! On October eleventh, Zamsky, Began his job of picture taking, And all of us felt too scared to know, What kind of faces we were making! On October twenty-third, We had a party in the Gym, Not formal, just a sport party, With plenty of vigor and vim. Doughnuts, and cheese and coffee, Were served to eat to our fill, And when we did the Big Apple, We went at it with a will. 45 .mq A 4? fag, , i' N .liiwfv ' A3 q Jang, Wnlmwumniivllu OKI Njugqqvl,llyg:1gugmm ' , Q5 7-7. n MIK ' 9 'I I -QW 1 'Q 'WM Q .UP R T Y E On Field Day we came on the field Each representing some vocation, But the thought of entering the world, Brought with it a strange sensation. November brought another privilege At Hermon - also brought rain, And seeing all our curls come out Really brought us pain. The Westminster Choir sang for us Their songs were of the best, But We did not appreciate the bat - An uninvited guest! On january fifteenth another party Was enjoyed by all. We saw Winter sport movies, After dinner at Gould Hall. But this year too, has sad things, As all of us well know, When Founders Day arrived at last, Northfield was minus snow. The Tau Pi play this year Was the Taming of the Slorew, We wish we all could act the way Shakespearean actors do! On March fifth was the celebration Of the game 'twixt Harvard and Yale, When it comes to providing thrills, That good old rivalry can't fail. On the seventh of March we received Our gowns and tassels, too, That is one of the great thrills In store for all of you. Two days later, we entered the Chapel, Wearing caps, gowns and serious faces, The whole school stood up to honor us As we took our places. We also wore full uniform To Vespers, once or twice, 47 I G H T T H F I E L D In spite of the worries that come along, Being a Senior is very nice! Two more parties were held On the seventh of May, and the fourth of june It's really sad we'll have to leave Our Hermonites so very soon! The Senior Cabin weekend Was really some eventg And it did seem as though All the Seniors went! May Day came as always, With baskets and flowers, The fixing of which had taken Many precious hours We had to hunt for the junior tree, As is always done, And, as always, this was Loads, and loads of fun. Tree Day dawned bright and clear, Sleeping Beauty was given this year. How strange to think Tree Day will go on After the class of ,58 has gone! May twenty-fifth was Class Day Wie all slept very late. We were taken to the Faculty House Which we all thought was great. A picnic lunch we then enjoyedg The afternoon was spent in play, And with a banquet scrumptious We ended this great day. At last, Commencement week-end! With Lantern Service, and graduation It is hard to believe that we'll not be back, After our Summer vacation. We handed the lanterns to the Juniors, Thus passing down the light That had guided our little craft Faithfully, day and night. 48 T H I R T Y E I G H T Dr. Tweedy was the speaker, At our Commencement celebration, He led our ship safe into port The day of graduation. And so, dear friends, the trip is done, The ship is safe in port, at last, We stand and face the future With memories of the past. But we still belong to Northfield, For though we wander far, Weill still be true to the school we lo No matter where We are. 49 VC TON1 BROWN l N O R T H F I E L D CLASS POEM Look . . . Into the depths, The green icy depths Of that still pool. Listen . . . To the silence, The strange eternal silence Of this great forest. Listen . . . To the laughter, The bright crystal laughter Of these young girls. Look . . . At the flight, The smooth rhythmic flight Of these returning swallows, Remember . . . All these symbols, For deep in their essence I give you, Youth. LAURA LOU LYON 50 T H I R T Y E I G H T SENIOR CLASS ORATION ' ' ARPE DIEMf' The challenge awaits youth to put this truth to the test, for the well-known words of james Russell Lowell, Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide, in the strife of truth with falsehood, for the good or evil sideng still ring true today. Down through the ages men who have achieved great things have forced open the door of opportunity, barred by convention, and lead the way to more glorious possibilities. Was it not Eve who lead man to his golden opporunity by bidding him pluck the fruit from the tree of knowledge? Too true, this golden apple brought man into a life of struggle and strife, but we accept the challenge of lifels struggle, for only thus is man's creative genius brought to full fruition. Before Adam partook of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil there was nothing but leisure in man's life. In the articles in scientihc magazines we discover that today we are regaining much of this pristine as machines replace manual labor. What shall we do with this newly found leisure? Listen to the words of Robert Louis Stevenson. Mr. Worldly Wiseman accosts the Idler, and the following conversation ensues: How now, young fellow, what dost thou here? Truly, sir, I take mine ease. Is this not the hour of the class? and shouldist thou not be plying thy book with diligence, to the end thou mayest obtain knowledge? Nay, but thus also I follow after Learning, by your leave. ft Learning, quotha! After what fashion, I pray thee? Is it mathematics? No, to be sure. Is it metaphysics? Nor that. U Is it some language? Nay, it is no language. Is it a trade?'i :Q Nor a trade either. Why then what is it?,' u Indeed, sir, as a time may soon come for me to go upon Pilgrimage, I am desirous to note what is commonly done by persons in my case, and where are the ugliest Sloughs and Thickets on the Road, as also, what manner of staff is of the best service. Moreover, I lie here, by this water, to learn by roat of heart a lesson which my master teaches nie to call Peace, or Contentmentf' 51 N, O R T H F I E L D This leisure, in such quantities, is a thing of the future, and to us is a thing of the future, and to us living a secluded, sheltered school life, the future seems a bewildering chaos. So many of us have heard time and time again that we are of the generation which will rule the world in a few years and that the destiny of the world, as it were, depends upon us. This is the challenge of the future and to accept this challenge we will have to take a stand in the strife of truth with falsehood, for the good or evil sidef' In taking this stand for truth we set up ideals and hold them high. We climb arduously up the straight and narrowi' path, seeking a lofty goal and hoping to make the way safer for those who follow. If we take the lives of many famous nien who have cleared the way and set up precedents for us, especially men of the Church, such as Luther, Calvin, Fox and Wesley, we find that their ideals of truth were not formed late in life, but when they were almost as young as we. Luther was but a young college lad when his convictions were firmly grounded, and he tacked his religious thesis, which shook the world, on the church door. This gives force to the standards we set and brings to mind more vividly that now, while we are in school, is the time we should take advantage of our Carpe Diem. Nowhere will we again have the advantage we have here in Northfield. When we go out from this community we mingle with people who are older or younger than ourselves. Although this has many advantages, it lacks one thing, our close association with such a great number of girls who are of relatively the same age, who have the same interests, and the same vitality. In other words, the friendships we have made with girls of our own caliber, what we have gained from these friendships and what we have given to them- all of these in a great way determine whether we have wisely used one of the greatest opportunities offered us. During our years at Northfield we have participated in sports with these friends. Here, too, we have an advantage, for we have had excellent equipment, time, and skilled teachers to train our undisciplined bodies. Sports fall in the realm of the physical, but we should not over-look the mental. Here again the members of the faculty have been ever willing to lend a guiding hand. We have had a wide choice of curricula and also of extra-curricula activities. In the second category there have been invigorating hikes, and cycle trips, lusty choir practices, clubs, to suit everyone's taste, opportunities to gain musical skill, and to acquire executive ability in C.G.A., class oflices, and the Church. Our views have been widened in religious aspects as well as physical and mental. The treasured moments of quiet spent on Roundtop, silent time, and the awe inspiring spring services in the chapel have made us more sensitive to the things of the spirit. The glory of the surrounding countryside in flaming Autumn, and budding Spring, the satisfaction of well mastered lessons, the joyous exhaustion of physical labor, the willing guidance of the faculty members, the smiling face of Miss Hatch, the inspiring Chapel talks of Miss Wilson-these are the opportunities which we shall ever treasure in our memories. 52 T H I R T Y E I G H T Though the cause of evil prosper, Yet ,tis truth alone is strong, Though her portion be the scaffold, And upon the throne be wrong, Yet that scaffold sways the future, And behind the dim unknown, Standerh God within the shadow Keeping watch above His own. Jessie HENRY. TREE DAY N May 14, 1938, Peggy Hendrickson, May Queen, graciously presided over the May Day festivities. Her attendants were: Betty Alden, Sybil Bumford, jean Colin, Alice Colson, Harriet Ann Fisher, Patricia Jennings, Ruth McEwan, Harriet Mehaffey, Betsey Jane Merrill, Sally Searle, Virginia Smith, Shirley Wieners. After the royal procession and the crowning of the queen, a lovely pageant was presented which followed the story of the Sleeping Beauty, which goes something like this: Scene I The great Hall of the Castle is the scene of bustling activity and excitement. A most festive party is being held in honor of the Christening of the baby Princess. A dance by the Knights and the Queen's attendant formally opens the celebration. The twelve Good Wish fairies dance in to bring their gifts and pay homage to the Princess but before they have all bestowed their special wish, the Evil Fairy CBetty Nelsonj bursts in on the scene, furious because she has not been invited to the Christening. Characteristically, she prophecies sorrow and death for the Princess on her fifteenth birthday, by a prick of the finger from a spinning wheel. Fortunately, the twelfth fairy had not yet given her gift to the Princess, and after a Conflict between the two fairies, the Good Wish Fairy modifies the death sentence to a spell of sleep of a hundred years. Then the fairies again dance and leave. The King, CMa1y Alice ReedD greatly alarmed, orders all spinning wheels in the Kingdom destroyed. 53 N 0 R T H F I E L D Scene II Another party is being held in honor of the Princess' CLois Satherj fifteenth birth- day on the morrow. V We have the Princess and her Attendants in a gay dance, while awaiting the arrival of the guests. The peasants come in, gaily skipping, and gather at the side to watch the other dancers. A duel and combat between the Knights are of special interest. Following the Com- bat, the Peasants entertain with a group of Folk Dances and the Pages, with a rhythm design. Scene III The King and Queen Cjacqueline Hawkingj have left the castle for a short time and the Princess and her Attendants wander about the rooms and finally discover an old woman spinning. The Princess never having seen a spinning wheel insists on being allowed to spin. She pricks her finger and immediatelyevery one falls into a deep sleep. The King and Queen arrive home and they too fall into a sleep. Scene IV A Hundred Years have passed and a Prince CPeggy Morrillj comes riding by. Seeing the sleeping group, he investigates and discovers the Princess whom he awakens with a kiss. Instantly everyone begins to come to life. The Prince and Princess lead the peasants in a national dance. The gay and colorful tradition of may-pole winding was done effectively by the Seniors and juniors, following the pageant. At the close of the may-pole everybody swarrned to the Senior tree where the tradi- tional singing took place, followed by the spade oration delivered by Sybil Bumford, Senior class president. After this everybody moved to the junior tree where the same procedure took place, the spade oration being delivered there by Barbara Allen, junior class president. Cage 54 T H I R T Y E I G H T SENIOR SPADE ORATION YEAR ago today, we as juniors received this venerable spade, which has symbolized the ideals and responsibilities of each departing Senior Class. We assumed this as a challenge which could be met only through our patient efforts and labor. We have striven to uphold the standards for 'which Northfield stands, gaining poise, the ability to work harmoniously with others, and spiritual uplift. Not always has this path been free from thorns, but at all times we have tried to choose the better way. The ground was broken by this spade for our maple, a year ago. Then our tree was young and tender, but through the winter it has thrived, becoming stronger and sturdier. May this tree serve as a symbol of the virtues and ideals that our founder and predecessors have set for us. As each class has departed, it has added its colors to this spade as a symbol of its pledge to Northlield. We, the class of 1938, A do now add our crimson and silver. We hand l' this spade to you, the class of 1939, to be cherished and upheld. May health, happiness and success be yours. SYBIL BUMFORD IUNIOR SPADE ORATION N memorable Tree Day the Class of 1939 gratefully accepts this spade. It has been treasured for generations, and has symbolized the highest and noblest ambitions of every Northfield girl. Before us is a young tree which requires guidance and protection as it grows to a sturdy maturity. For centuries trees have I played a prominent part in the religions of i many races. They were regarded as sacred. This tree may well have a similar significance for us. We have planted it with the thought that someday we may return to sit in its shade, and inspired by many happy memories may recapture some of our youthful enthusiasms. I We wish the Seniors every happiness and success. Next year, as we assume their responsibilities, we will endeavor to make our contribution to this school as worthy of praise and emulation. BARBARA ALLEN 55 N O R T H F I E L D CLASS HYMN NCE to every man and nation Comes the moment to decide, In the strife of truth with falsehood, For the good or evil side, Some great cause, God's new Messiah Offering each the bloom or blight, And the choice goes by forever 'Twixt that darkness and that light. By the light of burning martyrs, jesus' bleeding feet I track, Toiling up new Calvaries ever With the cross that turns not back. New occasions teach new duties, Time makes ancient good uncouthg They must upward still and onward, Who would keep abreast of truth. Though the cause of evil prosper, Yet 'tis truth alone is strong, Though her portion be the scaffold, And upon the throne be wrong, Yet that scaffold sways the future, And, behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow Keeping watch above His own.

Moody at the beginning of Northfield Seminary was that every student should carry a share of the daily work regardless of her financial status. All through the years this principle has been carried out in the form of co-operative housekeeping. Every girl works eight hours each week at various tasks in the dormitories. In each house there is an instructor who directs this work. The function of our co-operative housekeeping plan is threefold. First is the purpose to run well ordered houses, to have well prepared meals, and to create a real atmosphere of comfort and well being. Then there is the hope that knowledge and experience may be gained by helping with the daily running of a house. Perhaps the most important phase of this work is that this plan offers opportunity to demonstrate the religious and social significance of labor and its disciplinary value . . . 67 l i N O R T H F I E L D C.

Estey of Brattleboro about using his name and of their aim to aid in singing at church services and to furnish music for social gatherings. General Estey, a friend of Mr. Moody's and the Seminary was the manu- facturer of Estey Organs. COur new organ is of Estey make.D Today Estey has grown to about thirty-one members, still assisting in church musicg but on such special occasions as Christmas and Easter services is often augmented by Mount Hermon Glee Club. The two choruses journeyed to Shelburne Falls to sing this year. At commencement they give a joint concert of secular music. 71 N O R T H F I E L D ALL CAMPUS FENCING and BADMINTON TEAMS Top row, left to right: R. Mollettg E. Fosterg J. Whiteg Miss McKin1eyg D.
