'THE HILLTOP Published by the Pupils of Petershan High School Petersham, Massachusetts 1945 roarzwoan The American high school of today is the outgrowth of various types of secondary schools of the past. First we had the Latin grammar school, then the academy, and now the free public high school. Each change was a step forward and was prompted by a desire to meet,through education, the broadening needs of society. The 5ood of each system has been retained and new good added. The demands on education at present call for still further change. Our government has asked all secondary schools, through our State Department of Education, to stress certain military needs in our teaching program. This can be done through new courses where possible, or by doing what we are doing a little better with these needs in mind. Petersham High School is endeavoring to coogerate in this 4 forward progress as much as possible. We want our pupils to go out on an equal basis with those from other schools. Any sacrifice of time and effort on the part of our faculty and student body to meet these needs will prove most worthwhile. The result will be greater efficiency for any tasks that may X , be before us. Wlgaf Editor. u 0 HILLTOP STAFF Assistant Editors. . Literary Editors. . Photographer. . School News I.

The cast of fourteen, under the able direction of Mr. Hatch, had rehearsed incessantly for several weeks and it was with both anxiety and eagerness that they awaited the final night. At long last, the fifteenth arrived. All day the Business and Stage managers tore around checking on business.details and looking up last minute npropsn. , As it had been decided to make some extra profit by selling candy between the acts, several of the girls busied themselves making batches of fudge in the Home Economics Room. As eight o'clock drew near, the Town Hall rapidly filled with people, and the excitement back stage grew just as quickly. Under the skillful fingers of Miss O'Brien, the make-up artist, the cast was transformed into a variety of characters-handsome and homely, amusing and natural. Finally, after a moment of hushed expectancy, the curtain ascended, and the play was on. The story concerned the Angell Family, Cwho were not such angels by nature as by namel and Dr. Angell's matrimonial troubles. The doctor, and absent-minded zoology Professor, who keeps his lizards at his home, has been ordered by his rich, old, bachelor uncle, Azarias Peabody, to Hhitch up with a filly in double harnessn before his fortieth birthday, or lose his inheritance of ninety-thousand dollars plus a rich farm in Iowa. Due to his abysmal absent-mindedness, Dr. Angell finds himself without a wife and only five days to his birthday! His cousin Ruth, who acts as his secretary and house keeper, is in love with him, but he is entirely too pre-occupied with his lizards to know it. As the situation calls for action, the Dr.'s three children, Pat, Billy, and Dodo decide to take matters in their hands and get themselves a step-mother of their own choice. The catch is that each of them has a different woman in mind and they are all determined txat their father shall marry the woman of their choice. Therefore, all three of the woman in question are ' ihvited for the weekend. About this time, Grandma Grimes from Arkansas and the aforementioned Uncle Azarias arrive unexpectedly Afterpa scandalized glimpse of the haughty, and quite nuniqueu Mrs. Van Arlen and her lisping, shorts-wearing son, Orley fPat's choicej Gram and Uncle Az decide that under no conditions should she be allowed to Nmarry upu with Wylie. They cleverly decide to mimic Venetia and Orley, and, in this way, make them so angry that they will leave. While they are ndressingn Cor should I say nundressingub for their parts, the other two women arrive. They are: Miss Winnie Oliphant, a more than plcasingly plump perfume saleswoman, and Miss Twila Twitchell, a spinterish librarian. A ' About the time everybody is getting settled and the women have finished round one of the insults, Gram and Uncle Az make an appearance dressed in their definitely astonishing nsportyn clothes. In imitation of Mrs. Van Arlen, Gram has affected a 1 3 Y 3 4 E H, 9 1 J 4 ,4 long candle for a cigaret and a pair of more-than-tight pants. Cbelonging to Azzieh for her Nslacker suitn--brilliant red and green paint adorns Gram's and Azzic's fingers and toes, and . Azzie's big watch is tied around her ankle. , Outraged by such brazen conduct, Mrs. Van Arlen leaves the room in a decided huff, After a parting insult from Gram, Venetia smacks Gram's ncigaretw from her hand and precipitates a Hrippingn situation as Gram bends ever to recover it. After this hilarious episode, thinge are quiet as Pat tries to patch things up between Venetia and her father. Pat is still so entranced by Venetia's nstageyn manners that she acts very selfish and impolite to poor, hardworking Ruth. Ridhtfully enraged by such conduct Ruth, despite protests from Wylie, leaves Of course Venetia is only too willing to get her clutches on the poor bewildered Doctor, especially since Ruth has gone. So, in a most amusing scene, she literally surrounds him and before he can objedt or protest, she is joyfully proclaiming to Pat and Orley that they are engaged! By this time Winnie and Twila decide that if there! any proposing to be done, they'll have to do it themselves. While Wylie is trying to make clear over the telephone, an order to his negro handy man, nEppyn, Winnie enters, unbeknown to the Professor. Taking advantage of the moment, Winnie propose while Wylie, unaware to her presence, unwittingly says nyesn over the phone! The thought of typ women engaged to him is a little more than Wylie can stand, so he flees the room in frantic haste. s Earlier in the play, Don Daggart, a student of the T . Professer's who is suffering from HPat-ranhobiau, brought a candy box of lizard food--snakes, beetles, etc.--and in the excitement the box has remained on the desk. Twila, being of a Unosyn disposition has learned the contents. haliciously, she tells Winnie it is candy and the next moment the contents of the box are tearing around the floor and Winnie and Twila are screaming their lungs out. Dr. Angell rushes in and Twila having the ideal opportunity, faints in his arms. When the others rush in to find out the cause of the uproar, Twila triumphantly A announces that she is engaged to Dr. Angell! This nearly brings on a riot between the rivals and during the fuss, the Doctor makes a hasty exit and disappears. By this time Billy and Dodo have discovered that they don't like their choice of a step-mother as well as they thought, so they contrive a plan to get rid of all three. They hide the Professer's ferocious looking, but harmless, lizards in the ladies' rooms, the closet, and the desk and, as a result, the women are scared nearly out of their minds. As if matters wcren't bad enough, at this moment Adolph, the Gila monster, a poisonous lizard, escapes and creates a havoc as he prepares to attack Pat. Arriving in the nick of time, Don valiantly subdues the beast and saves Pat. 2 When the uproar is quieted, Uncle Azzie breaks the news that the inheritance won't be given until his death and the women, who were only interested in the money anyway, take an indignant departure., The next moment another surprise arrives in the form S of Dr Angell and his bride--a new and radiant Ruth. The happiness is catching, and the curtain closes on a note of hilarity, as Gram and Uncle Azzie find out that they're only as old as they feel and never too old for romance, Ruth Newbury '45 The Board Stretcher CA Tall Story! As the years roll by, many seem to think that the same old things are being used. Well, these folks are greatly mistaken. The government has hired thousands of men to experiment on nearly everything, as it wants inventions that will help the people in tha! work in the years to come. Two years ago a middle aged man had an ingenious invention patented. It was a Board Stretcher. It is made of wood and steel, and it can be set for different lengths, anywhere from one foot to twenty feet long. The Board Stretcher looks something like a clamp, but instead of closing in, it stretches out. Board Stretchers are not very well known just at the present time because the government is not releasing them for public use. They are used constantly at the large Naval Yards, where the demand for boards is great. at the outbreak of the war, boards were not into the The could be six feet to eight plentiful, and this was where the Board Stretcher came picture. trucks would transport short boards so that more boards hauled on each trip. These short boards, which were about long, would be put on the Board Stretcher and stretched en- and twenty-foot lengths. This is only an example. Believe me, Board Stretchers have helped to step up plans on the large construction projects. , Board Stretehers may be sent to Europe, where the cities and towns have been destroyed by the Allied bombs. There will be many homes, factories, hospitals, etc. to be rebuilt. Once these Board Stretches are placed on the market, individ- uals will be able to build houses more cheaply.

It's the kind of day that makes you feel glad to be living. Storm windows are taken down, spring coats make an appearance, and young people meet for softball games on the common. Yes, spring is here to stay. Then comes the crises, a snow storm! Shovels are taken out from their hiding places, and overshoes are pulled on again. Mr. Hutchinson loses all hopes of selling any seeds from his colorful display at the store. However, something is found to save us from our miseries, for beauty is all around us. Petersham magnifies the beauty of snow as no other town can do. The soft white blanket seems to whisper to the flowers: Please, sleep just for a few more days. Don't be impatient. Even the trees want to look special. This time only the northern side is covered with snow, and it makes them look like ballet dancers. When the sun is setting, mother-nature seems to hurry and paint beautiful, rich colors across the sky. These are reflected in the snow, and instead of a blanket, we find the world's most precious jewels. The next day something happens. The snow we knew yesterday is no more. Again mother-nature takes her course, and the splendor is melting away. People watch for the first robin and then the first green grass. Yes, suddenly it's spring. ,f J Doris Nelson '45 FA of 7 N f fl'jQ, 1 f URecos The Military Mann . -'se f - c X' K4,-,xN,f,'f I, Recos is a military man. f ' -Q 5f2gPlnw He belongs to the State Guard Clan.

THE PETERSHAM COUNTRY FAIR If you were in Petersham on the bright Sunday of September 17, you would have seen a rather unusual sight. About five hundred people crowded through the Petersham High School grounds and gym. What better reason could they have had except to attend the old time country fair that was sponsored by the Petersham War Service Committee in connection with the scrap drive? A cattle show, pet show, games, exhibits of garden produce, canning, flowers, as well as Petersham handicrafts on display made up some of the attractions of this fair. During the afternoon the Petcrsham band augmented by players from LBarre, Athol, and Orange furnished a musical background. One of the other features of the afternoon was a base- ball game between New Braintree and Petersham. Years ago Petersham used to have annual fairs, and by com- ments overheard, as well as a petition signed by over three hundred people, everyone was pleased to see this old custom revived. Even before the end of the day people were planning for the next years nPetersham Country Fair.N N Laura Knowles '46' Winter Korning Never would nature fill you full of scorn If you could see unbroken snows With the first pink tinge of dayn And tiny flakes that the wind blows. As far as your eye can glean, Reaching, unbroken from wall to fence, The snow white, pure and serene. All this at nature's expense. From your window, you see below No traces of human being, Just waves and waves of drifted snow A sight quite worth the seeing! The wonders of all nature comes to you And glorious thoughts, but as a rule Your thoughts are more practical too, For joyfully you know that TODAY THERE IS NO SCHOOL. Laura Knowles '46' ,R 1 The Freshman Initiation From A Sophomore's Point Of View ' The Freshmen fairly shuddered each time they saw a group of Sophomores together because they knew we were cooking up something----let me tell you, we were! It took us nearly a month to get everything in order, and then the day came. We had given them a poem to learn the day before. See if you can get your tongue around it! nHumbly now on subservient knee I ebsequiously bow to thee Craving indulgence to stand before An exalted glorified Sophomore.n How did you do? The Freshman had quite a job. .They also had to bring tooth brushes to scrub the school house. At 2 went home p.m. we dismissed them and with worried faces, they to prepare for the evenings performance. That night an extremely nervous Freshman Class faced the audience. Glenn Lawson was our choice as the Master of Ceremonies He did an excellent job keeping the victims on their toes. Even though it was a great deal of work, it was worth it to see them suffer as we did the previous year. Julia Boyd '47 The Freshman Initiation From My Viewpoint ' I breezed to school that morning with a paper bag and a tooth brush. I didn't have the slightest inkling what I was going to do with them, but all we Freshmen had been requested to bring these articles. Upon arriving at school, I was informed that all my books were to be carted to each class in the large paper bag. At noontime, I was directed to bring the tooth brush along with a pan of water onto the front porch. With other members of my class, I scrubbed the whole porch floor. While at labor, glorified Sophomores gloatcd over us poor humiliated Freshmen. Throughout the all. This meant we until one member of and blurted out the In addition to day shouts of Nair raidn could be heard by were to kneel on the floor, and stay there the higher Sophomore class happened along words, Wall clearn.' this, we were to bow to the Sophomore on subservient knee, and recite a poem about craving indulgence to stand before an exalted Sopfmore. They taunted us all day about being underclassmen. ' When 2 o'elock joy that I would be finally rolled around, I realized with great released from this torment for a few hours. We were all aware, though, that we would be expected to show up at this scene of torture again at seven thirty. 3 s 5 E E s Q 1 Seven thirty found me, along with various other members of the dejected Freshman Class, awaiting the hour of doom. Each frightened individual who would be punished was presented with a pair of false teeth constructed of wax. We were given strict orders to wear them into the gym where the art of torture was to be performed. We humble Freshmen filed into the gym, with wax-white teeth projecting from quivering lips. This was the beginning of the end! - s After parading around the room, we, full of expectation, seated ourselves in front of an audience. Glenn Lawson, who is the comic of the dominant Senior Class, acted as Master of Ceremonies. Being presented with Rice Crispies, we were ordered to cram them into our mouths and try to whistle. As a result, Rice Crispies flew about. Among other carefully planned acts of those scheming Sophomores was one providing Richard Warrington with two pails, one full of water andizhe other empty. He sat through the entire program dipping water from one pail into the other by means of a thimble. Sort of slow work--what say? - There was another act which required several persons. This one was called walking on eggs. Two persons also gave a little act as Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy. Some of the pupils were called upon to give speeches on different topics. Sally Cooley talked on uhhat Mama Said When I Got Home So Late,n Janet Barnes on nWhy English Is My Favorite 3ubject.W When all these plans, along with other treachery, had been executed, all the Freshmen rejoiced for they were now free. There were refreshments and dancing following the program. It lasted until ten thirty. The Freshmen went home with the satisfaction that the long-dreaded day of initiation could be put in the past, with only memories left. Annie Boyd '48 Masquerade Negroes, Indians, and even farmers, A couple of twin dressed city eharmers, A Scottish lad, a nightgowned girl, All and more were in the whirl. A mother cat and her kittens too, By the way, was that you? A beautiful lady and dressed up man, Guess who they were, if you can. All and more were in the parade, Of this year's Petersham Masquerade. Laura Knowles '46 It all Pursuing Piggie started one Saturday evening not long ago, when my Father came back from the barn with the announcement that the newly-bought piggie had Hflew the coopn,or as'it was'in this ease, the pigpen. When we found this out, we immediately jumped in my friend's old jaloppy and off we went to inquire after our wandering porker. At the first neighbor's house, we found that the elusive pig had been seen heading into the woods which lie south of our houses . With this clue, we headed off down a side road to another neighbor's house which lay in the general direction taken by the pig. Arriving here, we found that ence more our Unext winter's hamsn had escaped us and we took up the chase to the last house on the road. Here, running gaily about in the garden, we discovered piggic. Now, you over, but let probably think our troubles should have been me tell you this: It is one thing to see a pig and quite another to catch him. Upon seeing the object of our search, we all jumped out of the jaloppy and started to surround the little pig, but this proved to be a much harder job than it sounds. There were five of us after him, and what a merry chase he led us. Off he would go up the field, and we after him. You know, confidentially, I've been thinking that my Dad was getting rather old and slow, but to see him chasing that pig like a boy of twenty has made me wonder if he's still not plenty lively yet. u,x Rallying his forces like a general, Dad decided to run the pig into the garage, and suprisingly enough, we seemed to be succeeding, when suddenly, the pig did an uabout facen and came out between Richard's legs so fast that the poor boy spun around like n top and sat down abruptly un the ground. The pig made a charge at me, and although I jumped around wildly, he scampcred by mc, and off we went again in pursuit. We might have been chasing him yet if it hadn't been for a fence which the poor piggio tried to run through with the con- sequences of nearly breaking his head. Rather dazed, the pig ran around the another mar the pig's wi held as we When I hed, and here, before he could start us off on then, my friend made the nGoupe de gracen and amid ld squealing, he was dumped into a bag and firmly started home. recovered my breath and stopped laughing, I decided then and there to write a story about the escapades of our pig, and if anyone wants any advice on pig chasing, just consult us. Wc're experts! Ruth Newbury '45 Asking For A Date Hello, Mary-uh-this is Bill. Are you going to be busy Saturday night.

We only have fourteen boys in the high school, and we had eight going out for the team. After we had a few practices, we scheduled a few games. In our first game we were dated to play the Orange Junior Varsity while the Orange Varsity played Athol High. On January 12, we went to Orange for our first game. When we got on the floor, we were lost. At the half we were ahead by a score of 15-ll. As usual, Coach Arnold gave us a very good pep talk. The final score was 58-15. Johnny LePoer was high scorer with 18 points. Our next game was scheduled with New Salem. This was played January 19 in our gym. That game was very calm for we won a very easy 36-ll victory. Johnny was again high scorer with 17 points. On January 25, we played Barre. In that game we couldnlt 'z seem to get together. At the half they had a lo-3 lead. The second half we did a little better, but the final score was 23-12 in Barre's favor. That was our first defeat. Mitchell came out high scorer with 7 points. Our next game was to be with Hardwick High at Hardwick. This was on January 26. This game brought us plenty of com- petition. At,the half, the score was 12-7 in our favor. The second half we got on the ball and kept the lead. We defeated them by a score of 23-24. Lawson was high scorer with 15 points. On February 2, we played Barre in our gym. At the end of the first quarter, we were in front by a score of 9-2. At the end of the half the score was ll-4 in our favor. At the half Mr. Arnold gave us an effective talk. The second half we played a real fast game and defeated them by a score of 22-lO. The Petersham people were so happy they nearly tipped the gym over. Johnny was again high scorer with 10 points. On February 9 we played New Salem. This game was a very smooth one. We easily won by a score of 50-15. Mitchell was high scorer with ll points. In our gym on February 14 we played Hardwick. This game was very exciting with a score of 7-7 at the half. In the second half we out scored them by 6 points and won 26-20. jhonny was again high scorer with 12 points. ' Our next game was with the Athol Y Pioneers who had played 7 games and were undefeated. This game was February 16 in the Athol High gym. At the half we led them by a score of 19-4. We were so surprised we didn't know what to think. At the end of the game, we had won an easy 41-21. That gave them their only upset of the year. Johnny was again high scorer with 26 points. In spite of our small squad, we won 7 games and lost l for an 8-game schedule. We were mighty proud of our small team and, proud of Mr. Arnold for being such a patient coach. 1 ,hi , Oh, What A Game! The thirteenth may have been unlucky for some, but as far as the P.H.S. Hoop Squad is concerned, it was the brightest day on the calendar. Everyone knows, l'm sure, how Petersham was chosen as one of the ten teams to compete in the Tri-State Small School Basketball Tournament at Orange. Although eliminated by the St. Michael's quintet in the first round, Petersham still had it's chance in the Consulation Championship. At seven thirty, Tuesday the thirteenth, the whistle blew for the start of the tussel between Petersham and Barre. The prevailing opinion was that we would lose, although, of course, we weren't admitting it. Barely seconds after the game started, Barre nrang upn the first basket. Notwithstanding the fact that our team played well, the first half made our hearts sink for Barre seemed to have the situation well in hand. Me,in the cheering section were doing our best to spur them on with our choicest yells, but we didn't seem to be succeeding. At the half, our opponents held a nine point load: No one knows what kind of vitamins Coach Arnold must have given the boys at the half, but when they came back on the floor, they seemed a rejuvenated team. With our tall Captain breaking up many Barre rushes for the basket and with our able forwards sinking some fine shots, we soon tied the opposing team. By this time, the entire audience was getting very interesto and when our fighting five spurred ahead several points, we were so excited we couldn't sit down. As the game reached the climax, our boys, with victory practically in their grasp, went wild and made several fouls. hy their good shooting, Barre gained several points on the fouls and as the clock ticked away the last minute of play, we were in a frenzy of excitement for the scoreboard announced a tie-34 to 542 As the first overtime period began, Barre's best shot sank two baskets, while we groaned with dismay. Not to be outdonc,, however, our boys soon shot another basket. Just before the period ended, our Captain threw in the tying basket. Mere words cannot express the feelings of the crowd, especially the two groups of students. We were going wild and dancing up and down. The referee then announced that there would be a second over- time period and the first team to score one point would win. As the fatal moments sped, Barre tore down toward her basket with the ball, but our alert boys seized it and were away for our own basket. As he charged by the middle line, our star shooter, Glenny, flipped the ball to the basket and miraculously he made it! The game was over! We had won! Ruth Newbury '45 d Tournament Games On March 9, Petersham High School's basketball team found themselves in the Orange Tri-State Small School Tournament opposed by last year's champions, St. Michaels' team. This was a tough assignment for our squad, for St. Michaels is a much larger school than Petersham and had played many more games during its.season. Regardless of the odds, the boys did their best. The game was very exciting with Petersham giving a real battle all the way. At the end of the third period we were trailing by but 5 points. But the last period was our Waterloo, because St. Michaels had plenty of experienced reserves and could place a fresh team on the floor at all times. Because of the lack of experienced reserves, Petersham had to use the main team for the most part. The result was that while our boys were tiring, St. Michaels continued as good as new, and carried off a victory to the tune of 40-27, Glenny Lawson was our high scorer with 15 points. Due to our first defeat by St. Michaels, Petersham found themselves playing for the Consolation title against our old rivals from Barre. This was by far the most exciting of tournament games. Only by a sensational shot by our old reliable, Glenny Lawson, in the Usudden deathn overtime period did we win. What held on the roof of the Grande n after this same is more than we know. The V Q score was 40-58--Petershan! iGlenny Lawson was high scorer with 15 points. With the victory over Barre, Petersham was in the finals of the Consolation division with Belehertown as its opponent. We get off to a quick start in the opening minute of play and never lost the lead. At the end of the first period we were ahead by an 11-7 score, but at the half time we had increased our lead to 18-lO. In the third period Belehertown tried desperately to overcome our lead but could only come within 7 points of us as the period ended 26-19. In the final stanza we continued on our merry way and were ahead 54-24 at the games end. John LePoer was high scorer with ll points and Buzzy Mitchell was ri5ht behind with lO points. We had won the Consolation title! After the games, the trophies and awards were presented. We were mighty proud of the team, because it's the first trophy Petershan has won in the tournament competition for a long, long time. lg xg? Q , ,l Ee fa John LePoer '45 ,Q Ki fi .2 5 :'! a ld!

Florence May Cooley and Doris Nelson were co-captains. With only three or four practices before our first game, we were a bit unprepared for the stiff opposition of New Salem It was a hard fought game with our veterans doing a grand job and our new members showing great promise. The score-- New Salem 16 - Petersham 15. January 23, we played our first out-of-town game with Barre. At the end of the half we were leading 8-7 but we really got going in the third period making the final score 18-ll in our favor. The next week we went to Hardwick where we ran into'a bit of hard luck. A few minutes before the whistle blew, Florence May Cooley sprained her ankle which was upsetting to the entire team. WMaggieW hobbled around for a half and contributed 8 points toward the score- Hardwick 32 Petersham 20. February 2, we played Barre again in our own gym, but our luck was not as good as when we met them before. It was a hard defeat but we held them to a close score 7-9. Our guards played a very good game but for some unknown reason the forwards couldn't seem to find the hoop. Our next game was over the hills in New Salem. As our coach was unable to befwith us, Louise Cooley took over. It was another tough game, Florence May Cooley turned her ankle again and was unable to finish. We were defeated 15-10. Valentine's Day brought our last game of the season in our own gym against Hardwick. This turned out to be another rough and tumble game with Shirley Preble, a guard, getting more than her share of rough spills. Ann Withington, our new and very promising player, came in for one quarter and raised the score one point with a very neat foul shot. With our girls doing some effective guarding and efficient shooting we Heekedu out a 13-ll victory. High scorers of the season were Florence May Cooley with 38 points and Doris Nelson running a close second with 36. It was a good season with lots of fun so I am sure that all who played won't soon forget the 'L5 season. 'Although Coach O'Brien was fond of calling us her HLFN team, we managed to show her that we did possess a little UlAN ability. l ERM XQ1 lb X9 F 71-2 - N ax Q . ta 2 D Q-Q Leo 5 Liga U M I .I-LS.

The Senior Dance For several weeks prior to the Senior Dance, we Seniors were busy planning for the great event. It was decided to hold the dance November 12 in the Town Hall with Goodnow's Orchestra furnishing the music. Decorations were in charge of the girls, while the boys managed the refreshments.- Because of the paper shortage, we were unable to carry out our plan of circus decorations, but we executed our theme in part by having the stage done as a circus band wagon. Much to our disappointment Mother Nature sent us adverse weather and therefore our attendance was much smaller than we expected. Although the dance was not a financial success, it was enjoyed by those who did come, and we extend our thanks to all who cooperated in makin5 it a pleasant evening.
