Time has sped so quickly that it seems only yesterday that we met and now we must part. We shall miss you and think of you often. It has been a wonderful year. 22 The Senior Class G. Johnson. Iseminger, President; Wenner, Foster. Absent: Sayre The Student Council acts in the interest of and for the benefit of the Student Body. The purpose is to hear opinions and requests from the faculty and students: to consider them and come to conclusions most beneficial and suitable to all concerned. Problems arising are settled in the interest of all; and the rules and regulations of the school are enforced. Such a democracy has proven satisfactory in the past and in the present. 23 Stevens, Chairman; Sayre, Ruger. Absent: Iseminger, G. Johnson. Faculty Advisors: Mrs. Bush-Brown, Miss Adams, Miss Ammerman —Activities (Committee Upholding this year’s motto—great strides are made by many active steps— a joint faculty-student committee presented a well-rounded, stimulating entertainment program. Current Event, Garden and Animal Lectures, Square Dances, Picnics, a variety of educational and entertaining films, barn warmings, and the Haynes Marionette Show were among the scheduled events. The spirit of the program was demonstrated in the Activities Committee Work Projects of preparing a Tennis House and assisting with the new basement recreation room. 24 Sitting: Foster, Business Manager; Mills, Editor; Roosevelt, Assistant Editor; Stevens, Reporter. Standing: Fisher, Assistant Production; Kelley. Production Manager; G. Johnson. Reporter The first part of this year was spent in futile attempts by the staff to produce an issue of the Harvester. We were therefore greatly pleased when the mimeograph was returned after the Christmas holidays in a useable condition. We hope that our patrons have not been too disappointed throughout the year by the few numbers of copies. May next year's staff meet with fewer difficulties than we did and have a most successful year. 25 First Row: Foster, Business Manager; Corson, Editor; Ward, Literary; Mills, Literary; Riker, Photography.

Absent: Lankton, Sulzbach, Tyler Once again, the Glee Club presented a program of carols at the annual Christmas Banquet which was accented by Charlotte Gruber’s singing of the Cantique de Noel in French. After a winter of hard work, supported by genuine enthusiasm and interest, plus the real love of singing, the seasonal singers were pleased to present their fourth Spring Musical on the 25th of May. The program followed a seasonal motif wherein each time of year was represented by a few songs as chosen by the entire group. As a whole, the year was most successful, and we hope the Glee Club will continue to be as much fun and as pleasant to hear in the future, as it has been in the past. 27 First Row: Lindsay, McClenaghen, Nickerson, G.

Just before Christmas the older children from the Paoli School presented a musical program at our school and were entertained by us at a party immediately afterwards. Money for charitable activities was raised by means of a turkey raffle and a Christmas Sale of home made articles. Plans are being made to have the children from the Paoli School over again before the summer vacation. 28 First Row: lisher, Picone, Srevens, Thurlow, Gruber. Second Row: J.

We heard music of the classical and the modern composers. With the dues, collected at each meeting, we are planning to buy some albums of music. 29 First Row: G.

At the suggestion of a dub member, a new type of meeting was held. The entire club listened to The Hydrogen Bomb” program presented over the air by Town Meeting of the Air. Many thoughts were expressed about this bomb and peace in the future. Besides the current problems, there was a very interesting discussion on One Aspect of Indian Philosophy” by Georgia Johnson. Much interest and many ideas were stimulated and exchanged by our members at these meetings. It is hoped that in the future years, the search for knowledge and understanding will always be the goal of the club. 30 First Row: J.

Absent: Beekman, Blumer j£)ramatic (Lful The year began with a pantomime entitled The Camel and the Vampire. Hilarity reigned for the evening and both the cast and the audience thoroughly enjoyed themselves. This was only a beginning, for in the winter term, after weeks of mystery and anticipation, Bad Phillban was presented. The magic name turned out to be a cover for take-offs on the faculty. May Day provided an English atmosphere to the School of Horticulture when Robin Hood and Lady Marian arrived on the campus. The members of the Dramatic Club have experienced a great deal of merriment and good times as well as hard work throughout the year. Our one aim was to provide pleasant entertainment for our audience and we hope that we have succeeded. May next year's club go on to even bigger and better things. 31 First Row: Sayre, President; Tyler, Ward, Yoder, Thurlow.

One of the highlights of our activities was the Dairy Show held in June at which time we exhibited the Jerseys in our own herd. 32 First Row: Picone, Nickerson, Co-Vice-President; Booker, Tyler, Thurlow, President; Albrecht, Fostle, Ruger, J. Johnson. Second Row: Lindsey, Roosevelt, Kelley. Absent: Frazier, G. Johnson, Co-Vice-President; Ward The Riding Club is considerably smaller this year due to a smaller enrollment; thus we have all been able to have longer rides, going farther, and exploring the many wonderful trails around us. A group of the club went over to a rodeo at the Circle K Ranch last fall. For many of them it was their First time to see this Western sport in action. This winter the club sponsored three films of The Horse Association of America. They were Bit and Bridle,” The Life of Seabiscuit” and Bluegrass.” Also shown was Captain Littaucr's film, The 1948 Olympic Riders. All these films showed a wide picture of ail the types of horses and how they are used. They were greatly enjoyed and very informative to us all. This spring we took a trip to some of the stables around here. We also plan to give an entertainment to the school. 33 May Day was perfect. Despite our anxiety, the weather was lovely, being clear, cool and sunny. In. the afternoon all the guests gathered in the pleasant outdoor theater where they enjoyed recorded music as they waited. Shortly after 2:30 o’clock, a herald in a flowing blue cape rode up on a white horse and announced the approach of the Queen of the May, Lee Sayre, and her court. First appeared the Junior court, each member with a garlanded staff. Then under these staves, the royal procession passed; the Queen, the Maid of Honor, the Senior Court, flow'er girls, the crown bearer and the Court Jester. When they were grouped around rhe royal throne, the Maid of Honor, Betsy Booker, crowned Queen Lee. 38 The Villagers now thronged in, bearing gifts of vegetables, fruits, and animals including kittens, kids, a calf, a dog and lambs. When these had been presented, a dappled charger bearing a royal knight cantered up to the center of the stage and announced that the Royal Players would present Robin Hood and his Merry Men” in honor of the Queen’s coronation. The play was like a true glimpse into Sherwood Forest so well did the action fit into the woodsy setting of the outdoor theater. Robin Hood was well portrayed by Lorraine Trinkle. As Maid Marian, Jean-Lou Mills was very good. Edie Thurlow with a wine bottle of grape juice made a wonderful Friar Tuck. The cowardly Sheriff of Nottingham, Dotsy Stevens, and his trembling sword bearer, Joan Chester, gave a good performance. No one will forget the wedding feast of real chicken and the crusty loaf of bread, which the king, disguised as a monk, broke in half over his knee. The King was ably played by Pooch Bartlett. The play was followed by a Maypole Dance by the Senior and Junior Court which was truly lovely with the gay colored streamers and pretty pastel dresses of the court. At the close of the dance, the royal procession departed and everyone agreed it had been a perfect May Day. 39 .5an tai y An ermine blanket covers the hills, and the forest where the animals are. The wind, gentled by the storm, whispers and searches among the snow laden trees For signs of a new spring. With unseen fingers he seeks the little unborn leaves And finds them, still so small; but he sighs to the forest that spring is not far. A fox crouches in the snow, a bloody-colored patch on a hillock s chaste breast. His pointed ears cock towards a running doe and a quiver runs through him As he scents her warm flesh. With a bound he gives chase, but as lightning her slim Swift legs leave him behind and soon she’s within her lair, content to rest. The fawn sleeps, within its mother’s protective sides, Warm and snug. How near it came to death it cannot know But neither does it care. Deeper in the forest the rabbit’s tread is hushed by the snow As he creeps carefully across a clearing to a white mantled tangle of juniper where he abides. The once laughing stream now chuckles to itself in a muffled voice beneath a thin Layer of ice. A black vixen with silver-stippled coat laps daintily the dark, Cold water where it bubbles briefly to the surface. She turns and vanishes as the bark Of her mate echoes through the sharp clear air and fades away on the wind. This is winter in the forest. But soon the wind becomes warm and whispers again To the trees and animals that it’s time to awake and dress for spring, And rhey hear; the hedgehog and the rabbit leave their ground homes, the birds begin to sing To the thawing earth, and the winter-starved black bear stirs in his den. From the doe’s lair comes the awakening murmur of the newborn fawn As he feels the golden sun on his moist, spotted coat. The rabbit appears In his brown summer fur and noses in the tiny new grass. His long ears twitch as he hears The merry tinkle of the snow-swollen stream, laughing again because the winter has gone. The leaves burst from their brown skins, veiling the trees with light green Foliage that shimmers with melted snow. Flowers work their bent heads Above ground and sway in the welcome breeze. The purple violets from their beds Of brown leaves view the world around them which the snows have washed clean. Soon the beauty of spring deepens into the heat of summer. Zephyrs fan The treetops and the drowsy forest stirs in answer. Fat bees hum Among the warm blossoms searching for nectar. They drift away from The path when they hear the young fawn bounding swiftly to his home in the glen. 40 His red coat is darker but is still spotted so he can hide and lie still When his enemies seek him. The black vixen sits watching her cubs play, Her pupils dilating in the bright sun. The rabbit huddles to earth listening to a jay Scream and watching a hawk high up in the sky circling, with crooked, half-open bill. The bear, fat now with tender shoots, pauses, then scoops up with a huge Paw several grubs and vanquishes them into his mouth. He wanders close To the stream and stands watching the water as it lazily flows Through a pile of rocks where a trout hovers motionless in its refuge. The breezes become bolder now and bring back to the forest the strong Sharp tang of Autumn. It brings the frost that tints the leaves all Different colors which they flaunt in one brief bit of glory before they fall. The animals' fur grows thick because something tells them the winter will be long. This is the forest in Autumn. Man has never been here. True, the birds have told of the creatures of many moods that walk On two legs in great cities, and who laugh one day, fight the next, and who talk In many strange tongues, but the forest has never seen them, and their name brings no fear. But the wind who knows many things one day told Them that Man had a weapon more terrible than the bear When he is angry. It is carried by big metal birds and there Is no hiding from its wrath. It makes whatever it touches hot, then still and cold. Fear and wonderment fill the forest but it goes on preparing for winter. The squirrel still Hurries around, gathering many nuts and storing them in his tree. The bear, fattened up, crawls into his den once more. The fawn sees That his lair is sheltered from the cold, then presses close to his mother. The fox prowls the hill, Seeing that all is well. The stream moves quietly over its bed Of stones, little flakes of ice forming at its shallow sides. Suddenly one day the air is split by a roar that is millions of times louder than the tides That pound on the shore lines. The forest is rendered asunder and fired a blinding red. The trees are bent to the earth, their branches swept bare. Rocks melt and fuse with the ground. The winds become infuriated and drive A blinding torrent of snow before them which steams when it touches the live Coals. Snow continues for days, but still the moon gasps at what she sees. • � • • The fawn sleeps beneath a blanket of white and the rabbit’s tread Is heard no more. The stream is stilled. Against the empty night Sky the gaunt trees stand with bared, black limbs showing the moon their plight. The wind is silent and the earth sorrows. The forest is dead. 41 Nancie Daland 4 N- tatidtics Name Favorite Saying Usually Found Interest Ambition Frances Bartlett Wazoo! On the John Deere.
