This question will be answered in the affirmative if we can learn to live together as one world. Nations must under- stand eaoh other and the children of the world must learn the importance of being good neighbors, without prejudice. Democracy is our only salvation. We must think it, talk it, and live it with zeal, and remember the last words of Lincoln's great address, nThat government of the people, by the people, an for the people, shall not perish from the earth. m The student group and faculty who are editing this yearbook are to be congratulated on the excellence of their work. fijffivfgtwf HILLTOP STAFF Editor Assistant Editors Literary Editors School News Athletic Editors Humor Editors Business Manager Assistant Business Managers Art Editor Assistant Art Editors 1 Alumni Editors Typists Chief Mimeograph Operator Mimeograph Assistants Carlyn Bryant Arline Dorow Lois Adams Mary Lee Burnham Beverly Elliott Sally Harris Sally Cooley Carol Cooper Arline Dorow Richard Warrington Ann Bryant Richard Recos Richard Recos Lois Adams Arline Dorow Sally Cooley Ernest Johnson Richard Warrington Nancy Adams Richard Recos Randolph Burdett Sally Cooley Connie Barnes Lois Adams Sally Cooley Arline Dorow Richard Recos Melvin Merritt Beverly Elliott Richard Warrington Sally Cooley Kathryn Baldwin Lucille Cooley Barbara Merritt Melvin Merritt Jimmie Johnson Arline Dorow PETERSHAM HIGH SCHOOL X HILLTOP STAFF An Embarrassing Moment , I'n sure I den't know whetner'f Aa lhbarressing ,ment as a title, tits ,rienee or pot, Perhaps! eheul, Any .HBUBKOB mmm, Us ,YES-.ey me an it.

Fragrant deep-red roses, all her favorite flowers. The music would be soft and sweet. It would be organ music but softer and sweeter than she had ever heard it--as if the angels were playing it. White-satin bows would decorate the organ. On the bouquets of flowers, there would be long streamers. Her mother and father and all her dear- ly loved friends would be there. Her dress would be of white satin with a long, misty veil. Her flowers---the most beautiful ' of ell, She had never seen him so nice looking. Dark, wavy hair, tall and so handsome. Slowly she marched down the aisle to the sweet strains of organ music. The little flower girl skipped ahead of her.

WH' I '.-,I ,..' ,J , .ir-R' ,Q MISTAKEN IDENTITY It was a dark, dreary night and the man was cold and hungry. He walked along with his hat pulled low, and his coat collar' turned up. Out of the dark, silent night, there came a shot, the man staggered and fell on his face. The screaming of a car's gears could be hoard as the car dashed off into the night, Feet' could be heard running in the distance getting nearer-and nearer, then the officer reached the body. He turned it over, the man was a stranger to him, yet in some way his features looked famil- iar. He went to the phone box and called the station. 'This is O'Neal of beat 210, there has just been a murder. Man locks familiar but I am not sure of his identity,n ' -In five minutes a police car came screaming down the street, and two officers jumped outt The street was stun crowded with many peoples But no one knew him, The dont r arrived and looked him over. The body was then taken away in the Black Maria to the morgue. ' The night was still once again, but now the police had a murder on their hands, The police worked like mad trying to identify the body. Inspector Hardy wf Homicide was locking through the files, when all of a sudden the face of the dead man, or a good likeness ' stared up at hime The record identified him as, Squealer Dart, who had just been released from prison, after serving time for the murder of'a big time racketeer, ' WOh well,N said Inspector Hardy, NThe mob killed him in revenge. Yet there is something about that face that doesn't prove true,W He'took the picture and went down to the morgue, He kept looking, first at the picture and then at the face. All of a sudden he saw it, The small scar on the left cheek of the pic- ture was missing on the face of the dead mang He dashed to the phone and called the prison where Squealer Dart had been serving time. ' - NHello, is this Warden Keene. This is Inspector Hardy of Homicide of Springdale. Do you have a prisoner there by the name of Squealer Dart, who is serving time for murder? You have. Would you see if he has a twin brother? Yes, I will hold the line,n ' There was a short wait, while the Inspector was putting two and two'together and then a voice broke over the line. HHellr, yes Squealer Dart has a twin brother. The only difference in their features is, Squealer has a small scar on his left cheekqn The headlines the next day read: MISTAKEN IDENTITY SQUEALER DART'S BROTHER KILLED BY MOB BELIEVED TO BE SQUEALER lContinued on next pagel MISTAKEN IDENTITY KCont.J In small print it read: Squealer Dart who was to be released yesterday from Sing Sing, after serving his sentence is still there. He is in the prison hospital with pneumonia. ' A mob out for revenge against Squealer, shot his twin brother last night on Oak Avenue. This closes the police files on another case of mis- taken identity. . Arline Dorow 'L8 NAll the World's a Stagen nAll the world's a stage.U In my opinion this is a state- ment of very great truth, relating to the every day work of each and every person in the world, Every man, woman, boy, and girl plays his part, He acts out his lines, follows his cues, and makes his exits and entrances, whether in the home, in the fac- tory, or in the school, He may play a part that requires a great deal of skill such as that of a diamond-cutter, and yet again he may play the comparatively easy part of the ordinary unskilled worker operating a machine. At night, some actors in the play of everyday life have a great deal of rehearsing to do for the next day's performance while'others have none, Some act the same part every day, every month, every year, never wanting to advance into a better positi on There are also those who strive to get aheadg to become leaders, Actors may develop a sickness, but there are others to take their places, who must'learn new lines and act a new part. Some are fired, some quit, others continually move from place to place, seeming never to find the part suited for theme On this stage there are many different scenes: peace, war, depression, epi- demics, ' ' Yes, the world is simply a large stage, and everyone must play his part according to the script in order to produce a better play, and in turn a more perfect and peaceful world.

Chinese Drawings On January 7, the Athol Art Guild, of which Mrs, Withington and Miss Amsden are members, loaned us two films, nPa1nting a Chinese Figuren'and UPa1nting a Chinese Landscapen. The first movie showed the artist painting the figure of his wife, Yeh Chien-Yu. It was very interesting to note the peculi- arities of the coloring, pose and clothing of China. The woman posed in a manner quite different from our American way. The Chinese women wear long, colorful dresses with flowing sleeves. K When the painting was finished, the lady had been greatly changed by the artist. A complementary Color Scheme CBlue-Green and Red-Orangej was used in the picture. The second movie showed us Wango-Wing sketching a landscape. The completed drawings depicted large cliffs, mountains, and trees. In some parts of the picture, the artist would draw some small object, such as, a person or a bird, for which the wrist is held at an angle different from that of American artists, The coloring in these drawings was very beautiful. Both nPa1nt1ng a Chinese Figure,U and nPalnting a Chinese Landscapen proved to be very interesting movies.

As everyone glances through this book, they will notice the Class Ode. It has been a custom for the Senior Class to write their ode to the tune of a popular song. The Class of Forty-Eight has been very fortunate, for their music is original. The music for the class ode was written by Slim Marsh. The Class of Forty-Eight extends their sincere thanks to Slim for writing this music. HUMOR Richard Whrringtonz WDid you know Doc.

With Miss McCarthy and Mr. Robbins as our coaches, we started practicing, setting Monday and Wednesday afternoons aside for this puroose. Our first game was on December 19th against the Athol Y. M. C. A. Girls. As we played no return game with them it was not counted as a season game. December 19, l9L7 Athol 16 Petersham ll On the 19th we met the Y. M. C. A. Girls in our home gym. The guards played a good game, but the forwards seemed unable to hold onto the ball. The score at the half was Athol 6 - Petersham ,5. The final score was Athol 16 - Petersham ll.

Hardwick has always had a good team, so we were prepared to put up a big fight. Al- though their forwards were fast our guards were too much for them and were constantly getting the ball for Petersham. The game ended with another victory. This was the first time that we had defeated Hardwick since 1955. S. Dorow 19 A. Dorow O S. Cooley 6 C. Bryant O L. Cooley 6 B. Elliott O N. Adams O C. Thayer O C. Cooper O J. Bates O J.

Leap Year! Girls must invite the boys and positively no stags. We also had to foot all the bills. Everyone was interested in knowing whom each girl had invited, and if so-and-so were going with Lucy or Carol.' The night of the ride was the coldest of the year. The horses were only 45 minutes late in reaching the store. The sleigh was slightly crowded and when it was possible to move at all, one would kick sOmeonc,or else one's-foot hadigpne to.sleop. The hills and bare spots gave usxa chance tocstretch our legs, as we had to pile out and walk for a.chango. We arrived at Carol Cooper's house for refreshments and absorbed a little heat before we started the homeward journey. The trip back was a nice hike for nine of the sleighriders. They walked back to town from Nichewaug. The sled arrived in the center of town about three-quarters of an hour after the hikers. The night was so cold that the driver looked like a snow man as the frost was about one-half inchxthick on his coat and icicles were hanging from his mustache. Despite the cold, I think that everyone had a swell time and would go on another ride anytime, but the nine who walked wouldn't walk it again. At least I wouldn't. Sally Cooley '48 A ,-'15 N ,.- ..

After about three weeks of practice, it was decided that Merritt and Warrington would do the hurling and Alden Phillips, an eighth grader, would be the backstop. Merritt was by far, the best hitter on the team as de- monstrated by his four triples. Doing nothing in the first three games, he then began to tear the cover off the ball. Burdett,Alden Phillips, Gunter, and Johnson also showed oc- casional spurts of hitting power. , Jimmy Johnson and Randolph Burdett also turned in some fancy pitching. . Weak fielding showed up in nearly every game. Time and time again,because of this factor, many games were lost. Douthit 2b--of Warrington lb--p A. Phillips c E. Phillips lf Johnson 3b--p F.

For a number of years, when operated as the Highland Seminary, many of the youn5 ladies of the town received their higher education within its walls. Therefore, it is not only fitting and proper, but a happy oppor- tunity for the TICTEUAUG and its staff, to extend warmest greetings to the Class of l94S, Petersham High School. You are entering upon a great Adventure--in new friendships and new experiences, but with this, comes a challenge of new responsi- bilities and obligations. Much of the World looks to America for leadership, and the entire World looks to us for sympathetic understanding. May your generation manifest those qualities of head and heart which equip you to interpret and impart the nessa5e of true Americanism to. your fellow-men through out the World. Resolve to be worthy exponents of your'vocation or profession. No person is worthnly an American who cannot lift more than his own weight in his community--who does not reflect to his circle of friends the thrilling example of the person who is sincerely deyoted to the upbuildin5 of the highest type of life in his home and community. Although no man can ever attain perfection in all these contacts with his fellows, he can attain some measure of success through a continued and sincere effort to learn--how to live and how to serve. You are entering into a relationship with others who are learning the unity of the individual with society, and you should endeavor to express that spirit of friendliness and intiqrxty, which will mean much to you throuohout tie remainder of your life. Truly, you are embarking upon a new and glorious Adventure--a quest which can best be expressed in three simple words--Adventure In Service. Good luck to you always--and a fair breeze. Wwe 2 itil s.
