To introduce this publication I shall describe briefly what has been done this year. In a meeting of the Student Council the stu- dents discussed the method of printing, selling price, advertising, staff, and contents of the yearbook. It was decided, by the town meeting method, to change some existing methods of production and to follow a pattern established by publishers. The method of printing is not by our mimeograph, but by a companyQEaton-Cunningham Co., of Kansas City, Missouri! equipped for this purpose. The selling price has been established at the cost of printing. The advertising is sold with the attitude of business--that is, no copies are complimen- tary to advertisers. Free copies are to be given to the school, the library, and the Historical Society. The profit, which is from the advertis1ng,1s to be divided between the Juniors and the Seniors, and it is to be applied to the expenses of the annual Washington trips The staff consists of Juniors and Seniors, and they are guided by the English teacher, the art teacher, and the commercial teacher. The contents are essentially the same as in previous yearbooks. I feel certain.that this publication when opened in 2000 A.D. by a present member of the school will be worth its weight in radtum.

In September, 1948, five students registered as Seniors at P.H.S. They were Kathryn Baldwin, Randolph Burdett, Robert Douthit, Beverly Elliott, and Melvin Merritt--one less than were Juniors last term, Bob Gunter having left our ranks to go to Cushing Academy. At our first class meeting the following officers were elected: Beverly Elliott, President: Robert Douthit, Vice Presldentg Kathryn Baldwin, Treasurerg Melvin Merritt, Secretary. The class advisor was Miss Amsden. Randolph left us in Nove ber, and he is now-in the Navy. Our first activity was the Senior Dance, which was held on October 29, 1948. We used a Halloween motif. Ziggy Wagner's Orches- tra furnished the music. The dance was financially and socially successful. In the last part of October we started rehearsing for the Sen- ior Play, a three-act mystery comedy called The Singing Ghost. It was presented on December l7, 1948. The play was a ou ionna Drake, daughter of a famous singer, Martha Drake. Norma suspected that her mother had been murdered at a weekend party she had given, and set about making arrangements to have another party including the people who had been her mother's guests. Norma tried to set her party exactly as her mother's had been. She had an automatic phono- graph playing to sound like the ghost of her mother. Complications developed but Norma solved the mystery, finding her mother's mur- derer. The members of the cast were: Kathryn Baldwin, Constance Barnes, Carol Cooper, Robert Douthit, Beverly Elliott, Frederick Elliott, Roger Greenough, Marjorie Harper, June Legare, Kelvin Merritt, and Carolyn Thayer. The members of the staff who helped make the play a success were: Jlm ie Johnson and Ann Bryant, promptersg Beverly Elliott and Jimmie Johnson, property managers: Beverly Elliott and Kathryn Baldwin, business managers: Nancy Adams, sound effects: and Richard Warrington, lights and curtain. Mr. Bagley was the coach and Miss Amsden was the art advisor. To all these people we owe a great deal of thanks. Next came basketball season. A Senior girl, Beverly Elliott, was chosen captain of the girls' team and a Senior boy, Melvin Merritt, was chosen captain of the boys' team. At the home games this season the Seniors sold soda, candy bars, and fudge. On February ll, we had a Record Hop in the P.H.S. gymnasium. Music was supplied from records played on lr. Bagley's amplifier. A good time was had by all and it was a financial success as well. Generous townspeople donated rum age for a rummage sale which was held in the band room above the Post Office on February 12. This was another success. Now we are planning other social affairs and parties to earn money for our trip to Washington, about which we are very excited. CQ 1 Beverly Elliott '49 3?-R Effrf PX 99 i5 m -B 1 fMW' ff!

The leader of the pirates was named Pirate Jack. He was a dangerous man, who would just as soon shoot you as look at you. One day when Pirate Jack went back to his trunks missing--the most valuable one, He searched the whole island, but he could his twelve men that he would kill them all trunk in another day. his cave, he found one of which was worth millions. not find it. He told if they did not find the His men were worried. In the night they slipped away and sail- ed for a year and a day. One of them remembered that Pirate Jack had hidden the trunk on another island. They went there and took the trunk and were rich for the rest of their lives. And they never heard from Pirate Jack again. Michael Pisarski '55 49'2I-'XHHf'lt-N-'H 35-X-iii-N--li? Dorrance: Why are you carrying that ladder around?

He started our preparations for the magazine sale, which lasted for ten days. The school sold four-hundred seventy-five dollars worth and kept one-hundredanl.seventy-eight dollars. Sally Harris was high salesman with seventy-seven dollars and fifty cents. Hot Lunches Hot lunches have been served almost every day. They started on October 4, 1948. The Foods Class of the High School has pre- pared the lunches during the first three periods each day. The - price of twenty cents has been charged for each meal. So e of the students have helped with the work of clearing away and washing dishes. lisa lccarthy has been in charge of the hot lunch program. Trips Trips have been made by the High School and Ju ior High to several places this year. On October 7 five boys went with lr. Robbins to lorcester in the afternoon to see a science demonstra- tion called 'The House of lag1c'. The group saw experiments which demonstrated many of the forces in nature. On October 8 about thirty members of the school went to Worcester in the afternoon to hear the United States Karine Band play in the Worcester Auditorium. The band was very colorful in its military uniforms, and it gave an exciting concert. 0n November 4 about twenty-five pupils and sever- al of the teachers went to Clark University to see a production of the play As You Likei t. The play was well acted and turned out to be fun to wa c . ovember 18 about forty-five members of the school went to Athol in the afternoon to see the film Hen V. On Sunday, December 5, lr. Bagley took five members of the Junior and Senior classes to Boston to see the movie Hamlet. These trips have been high spots of the school year for some of us. we hope we may have more like them. Armistice Day Party On November ll the whole school had a party from seven o!clock until ten-thirty in the gymnasium. Games were played and refresh- ments were served. There was dancing also. The party was planned and arranged by the Student Council. -W if 54:5 2-ff-fkbb 852212 QP Sf?

The projector given to the town was used. lr. Robbins taught the members of the Physics Class how to run it. They have taken turns at it. The films that have been shown have, for the most part, been obtained free from the Univ- ersity of Massachusetts.

If you have, you'll know and understand what I'm talking about, and those of you who haven't--well, here is a typical baby's routine. Anything that happens from here on is purely habitual. ' About six a.m. the famd1y's pride and joy sounds off. For a while the little darling is content simply in waking up mother, but when the bottle warmer refuses to warm the bottle, he really begins. One by one everyone is oh so gently aroused. Nothing like getting up at six a.m.,I always say! lhen things finally quiet down, baby sleeps on, while we put toothpicks between the lids of our eyes and wander around like lost sheep. lith exceedingly good luck lother's little darling will sleep until ten o'c1ock. That, my friends, is bath time! Every mother's joy! The little dear gurgles happily, while you dash here and there and there and here. Now you tip over the baby oil and Baby tips over the dish of pins. In general you go madl' Again our angel goes to bed land to sleep, we hopej. He is completely at peace, watching you tear out the remaining strands of hair on your head. He has had his bath, his cereal, and another bath Cto clean off the cereal! and has gone to bed with the familiar-bottle. - There will now be a brief pause for silent prayer-----------I Peace comes until about twelve o'clock, when the master of the household decides he is ready to eat again. Believe me this is the greatest trial of alll It goes something like this: Baby wakes up and starts throwing his authority around. You dash to the refriger- ator and get his food. We'll have carrots and prunes, as they make a nice mess. While you try to heat them, Junior throws one of his loudest tantrums. By this time you feel like eramming prunes, car- rots, spoon, and dish right down his throat! Control yourself, pal, it would never do! After a few mouthfuls Baby decides to sneeze. Carrots everywhere--eekl Your nice white blouse suddenly has orange polka dots. For your sake, I certainly hope orange is your color. Now Baby again quiets down lafter his third bath of the dayi. You need a good long rest in the nearest sanitartum. Although I have left out the six p.m. feeding, I don't think any of us are exactly up to it and it's much the same as the othersg so if you'll excuse me I'l1 quietly go back to my lonely, but oh so babyless, padded cell with the man in the white suit. Good-bye for now. You can tune in tomorrow for the same installment. June Legare '51 - QN ---' A-4gE::,v 'W f r F or fp S -r-. 'WNO QQQMGQ J I'LL WAIT It was a beautiful spring day. Everywhere there could be seen people walking about and children playing gaily together. But Betty and Bill were not happy, for it had come at last, that fateful day when Betty was to move away. All their thoughts now were centered on remembering the fun they'd always had together. For you see, they had llved next door to each other for five years, and their friendship had grown more with each year. There were the memories of the ice-cream sodas, the movies, and the fun of swimming in the su msr and skating and sliding in the winter. Yes, it was hard to believe that it would soon be Betty was a pretty girl, some lt might seem that Betty thing as Bill was, though she well, he was quite in anguish all over. with blonde hair and blue eyes.

'I'll wa1t,' he said, 'because I'm sure it won't be for 1ong.' So they made their plansg when she came back, he'd be waiting for her and soon there would be a radiantly at the happy pair. wedding day, with everyone smiling Then they'd be ever so glad and could never be parted like this again. On and on they talked, as people who have a great deal to re- member often do. But suddenly their reverie was shattered as Betty! father and mother came out of the house, suitcases in hand. 'Come, dear,' they said. 'Everything is all ready, and we must leave now. Good-bye, B1ll.' 'I guess I'll have to go now, B1ll,' said Betty. 'Don't forget your promise! Bye.' 'I won't forget,' said Billg than he added again, 'I'll wa1t.' lany people will long remember the sorrowful face of the nine year old boy as he waved a wistful good-bye to his pretty, tear- stained, eight year old playmate.

I think I got my first real interest in hunting through the outdoor magazine my mother gave me for Christmas a few years ago. ly Dad has let me fish from the time I was able to hold a rod. ly parents have done all they can to get me to go camping and to give me the equipment needed for camp- ing. So, when October came around this year, I had made up my mind to ask Dad if I could go hunting. I remember that night when I asked Dad: he said, 'We will see.' I remember that night as if it had been last night. But when the first few days of the season had flown by, I began to fear that perhaps Dad had forgotten that I wanted to go. On the second Saturday, however, he told me I might go. He gave me a twelve- gage repeating pump-action gun to use. I was glad he let me use that gun because I had thought that I would have to use an old single-shot gun. The morning of that day he got me up early and gave me the gun and some shells for it. Soon lr. lclahony, the man we were to hunt with, drove up, and in a few minutes we were deep in the woods in the western part of town. As we walked through the woods, not fifteen minutes after we left the road, lclaheny's dog jumped a rabbit and the rabbit ran in front of me, about two feet away. lhy I did not shoot I YI11 never know. le tramped around in a valley and Dad tried a couple of hard shots, which he missed, through no fault of his own. After about an hour, Dad told me to.follow a brook that ran alongside a ridge where there was usually plenty of game. He told me that if I followed the ridge north, I would some out on the road. I followed the brook down to a power line and then I discovered I could not find the ridge. 0f course I was frightened and puzzled. I had an idea and fired my gun. Dad would be sure to come to see what I was shooting at. As I did not want to waste shells, I fired at crows, and I had one shot at a wood- cock, which I missed. I spaced my shots so they would be fired with regular timing. At last Dad came and asked what I was shooting at. I told him woodcocks, so he would.not know I was lost. He said, 'lr. lclahony and I will go on down the brook and see what we can find. You hunt around here, and than go back to the car.' Of course the thought of their leaving frightened me, but I ree membered that Dad had said 'and then go back to the car'3 so I was sure the road.was not far away. I remembered a story from my outdoor magazine. It had said that if you are lost, follow a brook and you are sure to come to a house or a road. So I followed the brook and came out on the road. After I got home, I was thinking over my first hunting trip, and I decided that even if I got no game and even though I got lost, I still had had fun. Ernest Phillips '51 W F K N9 fi? ei5g,f 'Yyo Q 'fQlQ1tm,5Q X 'Q EVERY GIRL FOR HERSELF I don't know why, but I knew there'd be trouble the minute I saw him. Of course I'm talking about the new boy that came to our school three weeks ago. His name was Danny Green. He had a build like Atlas and looked like Guy ladison. Just as I thought it would, troub1e'came. It started during noon hour of the first day he came to school. About twenty of the girls were in the main room. Naturally the talk turned to the new boy. This and that was said. Sally Hanage lwho, incidentally, is a very pretty girl, made the statement that she was going to catch him for herself. Of course that made the rest of us angry, and the result was a good argument. Before the argument was over,everyone was angry at everyone else. The final result was that it should be every girl for herself. The week went by in a hectic way, with no one speaking to any- one else unless to make some sarcastic remark. There was a feeling of tension throughout the school. The girls' basketball team could- n't seem to win, because of a lack of teamwork. The following Monday brought another new member to our schoolg only this time it was a girl. Her name was Ramona Daley, and a cut- er girl I've never seen. She was small and very nicely put togethen Her hair was a soft golden color, and she had big blue eyes. The rest of us fought valiantly, but we lost. The next thing we knew Ramona had hooked Danny and they were going steady. The whole atmosphere in school changed. The girls started smiling at each other again. Sally Hanage called a meeting for all the girls in the main room. Everyone decided that no boy was worth the trouble Danny Green had caused us. So everyone apologised. The girls' team won the rest of its games, and everyone remarked on how excellent the teamwork was. lr. Tab, our principal, is still pus- zled over the change.

FIFTY YEARS AGO 11899, According to the best information we could find there was no graduatingf class from P.H.S. fifty years ago. Between the years from about 1896 to about 1908 the town was without a high school. The present building was started in 1906 and was dedicated on May 22, 1908. It will be 1958 before another fifty-years class will be celebrating. ALUMNI NOTES In 1947 the Alumni Association held an election after a lapse of six or seven years time. During the war years not m eh more c3ii4'jg2::3?-fag Ei?-ffz'Lrrsa W . fs XgQggN1NMf1f:j- A L U I N i I KContinuedJ could be done than to take care of the books and funds, but the annual Alumni Dance was held and proceeds were given to the Red Cross. With the election of new officers and reorganization of affairs the long outstanding student loans were received and put back into the treasury. The fund ls now larger than at anytime and this year one more loan went to a deserving graduate of P. H. S. lr. Robbins will contact the loan committee for any pupil interedmd. The officers of the association now are: Philip Amidon, Pres- identg Lawrence Nelson, Treasurerg and Elsie Buell, Secretary.

Its value has been estimated at more than ten billion dollars annually. It is easily distinguished by the mountainous load of baggage,golf clubs, fishing rods and other paraphernalia it carries about. 'In this respect it is kindred to the turtle, which transports itstunm on its back. Chief trait of the American Traveler is an endless desire to go places and spend money. Extremely migratory, like the duck, ltwnn- ders northward in summer and southward in winter, but follows no set route--preferring to follow its fancy. Although fairly common to all parts of the United States, itsprdn- cipal habitat is the Northeast. Not only is it found in greater numbers, but the northeastern species is more travel-minded and has more money to spend. It's always open season on the American Traveler, and a big bag is predicted for smart hunters this season. In fact this obliging creature actually enjoys the sport as much as the hunter does. It seems happiest when snared by a good resort line. Therefore, .with thanks to the New York Times for stealing some of its thunder, we shall try to be good hunters and to offer such sure fire bait that the guests will flock to the NICHEWAUG INN, like deer around a -salt 110110 Best wishes and good luck to the graduating class of Petershamlhgh. lay you have the opportunity to know and enjoy the pleasures ofthe American Traveler. mmf , -,,:. x I ' '. n ll 'iz , 1? .x2:,?f- -' fm-2.
