BAGLEY AS A SMALL TOKEN OF OUR APPRECIA- TION OF HIS EFFORTS IN OUR BEHALF. IN THE FOUR YEARS MR. BAGLEY HAS BEEN WITH US WE HAVE ENJOYED WORKING WITH HIM. V -X 1 H The Hilltop is a very useful project in that it keeps an accurate record of our school events and provides an activity in itself in English, art, and commercial studies. If one reads between the lines of this yearbook, he will be able to sense the wholesome attitudes that are prevalent in our school. The student writing and the accounts of the activities give an indication of the achievement of our students and of the kinds of experiences the school provides. I am proud to be associated with the students and with the faculty in our school because I know they are responsible for the success of this yearbook and of our school. William P.

They were: Ann Bryant, Basil Coolidge, Alden Phillips, Carolyn Thayer, Robert Thayer, and Ann Yonker. Our first class meeting was called to elect new officers for the coming year. They were: President Carolyn Thayer, Vice- President, Ann Bryant, Treasurer, Ann Bryant, and Secretary, Ann Yonker. Miss Amsden has been our class advisor. Our first activity was the Senior Dance, held on October 26, in the town hall. When it was over, we were very pleased to find that we had made a profit on it. Our profit was about thirty dollars. Music was furnished by Hornbeck's Orchestra, and Mr. Gauthier called the square dances. Refreshments were sold by the seniors. Our second activity was the Senior Play, which was at the town hall, on December 7. It was Pride and Prejudice, based on the novel by Jane Austen. It was a play in three acts. The play was about a fidgety, middle-aged woman, who had five daughters whom she tried over-anxiously to get married off. The action of the play takes place in the genteel society of eighteenth century England. Those who took part in the play were: Lee Cunningham, as Mr. Bennet, Carolyn Thayer, as Mrs. Bennet, Margaret Lanoue, as Lydia, Eva Adams, as Jane, Carolyn Douthit, as catherine, Barbara Barnes, as Elizabeth, Judy Cooper, as Mary, Ann Bryant, as Lady Lucas, Dorothy Recos, as Charlotte, Basil Coolidge, as Mr. Bingley, Betty Russell, as Miss Bingley, Alden Phillips, as Mr. Darcy, Clarke Johnson, as Mr. Collins, Robert Recos, as Mr. Wickham, John Mayes, as Hill, and Ann Yonker, as Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Ann Bryant was stage manager, Marilee Burnham and Marilyn Edwards were prompters, and Basil Coolidge, Alden Phillips, and Robert Thayer were in charge of properties. Ann Bryant was business manager,with Carolyn Thayer and Ann Yonker as her assistants. Mr. Bagley was our coach and Miss Amsden helped with advertising. We want to thank all those who helped make our play a great success. Money for the seniors' annual trip to Washington, D.C., has been raised through many activities. Last fall we sponsored Community Nights. These were held every Monday night in the gymnasium starting October 8 and ending in December. At Community Nights we played games, such as basketball, ping-pong, bowling, badminton, and dancing. The seniors sold soda and popcorn. We also had square dancing on Wednesday nights. These were held on November 7, November 2 , and December 2 . Then, with basketball coming up, we had to discontinue them. Music was furnished by Mr. Gauthier and he also prompted. Mr. Thayer, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Marky, and Mr. Hutchinson played in the orchestra. Refresh- ments were sold by the seniors throughout the evening. They were soda and popcorn. No admission was charged. Money has also been raised through food sales, one held on January 19 and the other one in February. Each year the junior and senior classes have an opportunity to make money by putting out the yearbook. 5-30 SHIP 115A I 99 LUUN -I Each class gets about sixty dollars as its share of the profit from the book. Money for our caps and gowns and graduation announce- ments has also been raised. At the time of writing this lkarchl the seniors were planning to take their trip to washington during the April vacation, taking with them as chaperone Mr. and Mrs. Hutchinson. we would like to thank everyone who has supported our projects and helped make our trip possible. Ann Yonker '52 HAIR CUTS The girls all rave and rant and cry When a boy with a crew cut passes by. 'Horr1ble, terrible,disgustingln they say, When a boy with a crew cut comes their way. 'Why, ah why, did you have that done? Do you want to spoil all our fum? Your curly locks are gone away. You must have been crazy to get that way. You look like a Mexican hairless mutt.' But after all that speech and strut, They all turn up with a npoodle cut.n Alden Phillips '52 Robert Thayer '52 'ring HERO OF Hrs DREAMS The score is six to three, in favor of the foeg There's just one inning, three outs, to go. Now up steps Phillips, a slugger 'tis true. They pass him. Come on Cunninghamg it's up to you. But Lee's a pitcher, and pitchers don't hit. But Cunningham singles, on first he has lit. The next two strike out, but the game's not done, For all we need is four little runs. Now Thayer walksg the bases are packed. Now Mayes--the-pitch! ,He hit it! That ball's really whacked! It's over the fence and out of the yard. A four-run homer! It wins us the game. But old Johnny really 1sn't to blame, For even though his face really gleams, That ball game he won was just in his dreams. Clarke Johnson '53 D JU 5511 LLP!! 'IVL DVUU L MU 'N, q ffY x '36 - do '1 gr JUNIOR CLASS NEWS In September seven juniors came back to school. They were: Eva Adams, Barbara Barnes, Marilee Burnham, Marilyn Edwards, Betty Russell, Clarke Johnson, and William Hood. William Hood left at the end of a week to live in Athol, leaving us with six in our class. This year we found that for our homeroom we were to share the commercial room with the seniors, instead of being in the main room, as in previous years. Mr. Wright, our new commercial teacher, has been our homeroom teacher. In November we held our first class meeting and the following officers were elected! President, Barbara Barnes, Vice-President, Eva Adams, and Secretary and Treasuraq Nmrilee Burnham. Mr. Bagley was our class advisor. A junior girl, Marilee Burnham, was elected captain of the girls' basketball team this year. Clarke Johnson left us after the basketball tournament in March to live in Athol,but he has returned to finish the year. On March lb a junior girl, Barbara Barnes,went to Boston to represent Petersham High School on Good Government Day, Barbara was elected by the high school students when they voted for a representative for our school. In Boston, Barbara was on the Ed- ucation Committee, which discussed the issue of whether or not a compulsory course in practical politics should be taught in high schools. At the time of writing this, plans were being made for the Junior Prom, which was to be held on May 16. Again this year The Hillto has been sponsored by the juniors and seniors and the profit has Eeen divided between them. t Marilee Burnham '53 Judge: 'Why did you break your cane over the plaintiff's head?'

FIRST GRADE This year our greatest, and I hope most profitable, change has been teaching the children to write with manuscript letters. Manu- script writing makes their written words look the same as their read ing words, thus giving the children little if any difficulty in de- ciphering the words. This appears to have caused a marked improve- ment in the majority of children's success in learning to spell. And this improvement in spelling should improve their ability to do written English, as they will have a larger written vocabulary at their com and. I am a firm believer that schools should change to manuscript writing for a few years to see if it would improve the very poor spelling that has been nation-wide for the past few years. This year for the first time we are putting on an Easter assem- bly program. We are enjoying preparing for it and hope we shall en- joy presenting it, even though the gymnasiu is very large. Although this year's class ability in grasping the meaning chosen by itl which were two or We have made an extensive study about Eskimos, Abraham Lincoln, has been small, it has shown great of books read to it land oftentimes three years above its grade level. of Indiansg found out many things George Washington, and the people of Hollandg and are looking forward to making a study of Mexico.

Amy St. Clair, who came from New York, and Brenda Mayo, from Vermont, were new members in our class. In November John Lawson, from Athol, joined us. In December Brenda's family moved to Athol.

QD S TIVITIE Ac: 5-30 IP SH 115A 491 ECON O EVENTS As usual at P.H.S., this school year contained many activities and events. CHANGES AT SCHOOL I A radiator was installed in the runway from the school to the gymnasium. This was a great improvement, as the players in their gym clothes used to find the runway very cold during the winter. The new bleachers arrived early in the fall and proved to be very efficient, not only for our basketball but also for other gatherings where the seating would ordinarily have been a problem. They seat about two hundred--a capacity which has proved adequate at all games except when Barre came to play us. One other improvement for the gymnasium was a cement ramp from the school into the runway. This is safer than the original wooden steps were. Blackout curtains were purchased for the gymnasium so that movies can be shown there during the school day. The commercial department had a few alterations. The- typing room was redecorated. The walls were painted yellow and green. Seven new standard typing chairs, five tables, and three new type- writers were purchased. The commercial department also has a new calculating machine. The laboratory was also redecorated in yellow and green, and fluorescent lights were installed, making a more pleasant place to work in. In the home economics department there were many changes. New cabinets were built in and a linoleum top was installed on them. The large table which was formerly in the middle of the room has been removed. This new layout makes more room and a better system for storage, to say nothing of a neater appearance. It should also be mentioned that last summer the home economics room was repainted. The home economics department also has a new electric sewing machine. The junior high girls have been having sewing class four periods a week. MAGAZINE DRIVE. The first activity each year usually is the annual magazine drive and so it was this year. Del Jbert arrived on September ..la2xTjf lk, to begin our magazine drive. fHe had been to Europe 2: -' last summer, so he gave us a first-handiaccountof Europe 3 E from the tourist's point of view.l Captains were chosen 3311, from each class and Judith Cooper was appointed business T x1j 'l '1 manager. The captains were Carolyn Thayer, Barbara ' 'll 'Q Barnes, Carolyn Douthit, Marilyn Bryant, Claire Ander- son, Patricia Thayer, and fdchard Cooley. The income exceeded the goal set and was the largest amount ever to be brought 1 9'JU 5111? 11315 '!Vl U H Db O in for P.H.S. One reason for this was the competition between class- es. A psrty was planned for the class that brought in the most money. The whole school brought in 351023.75 The school's profit was 35288.38 The junior class won the party, with5lS9. The party was a pint of ice cream for each member of the junior class, served by the faculty, and an entertainment provided by the five other classes. Clarke Johnson, a junior, was high salesman with 393. MARCH QQ DIMES During the March of Dimes campaign cards with coin slots were distributed throughout the school and :MZ was fcollected. On January 23 the P.H.S. teachers played Barre High School teachers, in v T Q g Barre, for the benefit of the fU '- fl March of Dimes. On January S V!-I ' P.H.S. teachers had played another game with Barre High School teachers in Petersham. It was a donkey basket- ball game. Petersham won with a 'sudden deathn overtime. The proceeds of this game, however, went to the Petersham Teachers' Club. NOON PE RI ODS V 4, ef A new policy was used this year in connection with noon period recreation. Its purpose was to offer a greater variety of organized and supervised games. Each week a boy and ii 'j a girl took charge of the boys' and girls' games res- gh, pectively. This plan was successful in that the games . were organized and more people participated. Volley- ball, basketball, ping-pong, bowling, and square danc- fly!!! , I 1, ing were offered. The executive committee of the stu- ' j Q dent council appointed eight students as supervisors. vit They were Barbara Barnes, Ann Bryant, Marilee Bunnham, Lee Cunningham, Clarke Johnson, Alden Phillips, Carolyn Thayer, and Robert Thayer. SPECIAL PFDGRAMS On October Zh, P.H.S. celebrated United Nations Day with a pro-, gram put on by the civics class. The class explained the United Nations set-up, goals, and achievements. On November 9, the juniors and seniors presented a program on nDefense for Peace' in observance of Ammistice Day. This program was supervised by Miss Amsden, Mrs. Phillips, and Mr. wright. A Christmas program was presented by grades one through eight. Each class had its individual program and all parents and friends were invited. Santa called during the program and gave candy to all of the small children. On February 12, grades two through six presented a program in observance of the birthdays of Lincoln and washington. Appropriate poems and songs were given by the groups. TIEPS On October 6, las it was high school visitors' dayj a group of juniors and seniors went with Mr. fbbbins to Amherst to visit the University of Massachusetts. The junior-senior English class had a unit on movies and movie appreciation. In connection with this, some members of the class and Mr. Bagley went to worcester on October 30 to see A Streetcar Named Desire and to Barre on November ln to see Edmond H5stand's Cyrano E2 Bergerac. On November 8, eight boys with Mr. Ibbbins and Mr. Thayer went to worcester Auditorium to see the Harlem Globetrotters play the ' Toledo Me rcurys. Cn December 3, twentyaone students of P.H.S. went to Clark Uni- versity in Ebid's bus to see Clark University Players present She Stoops To Conquer, a comedy in three acts, by Oliver Goldsmith. HILLTOP NEWS The Hilltop News was a project of the freshman-sophomore English class aga n t s year. Judith Cooper was elected editor. The pro- ject was supervised by Mr. Bagley. MUSIC FESTIVAL At the time of writing this lMarchD a music festival was to be held in Athol on May 17 for high schools of the western part of Mass- achusetts. P.H.S. had been invited to participate. It planned to enter as a choral group, under Mr. wheeler's direction. Barbara Barnes Q53 3 I .4 'r -'k-v -, :'. 'B'- A ry p I I NIH' 'fb' .

Each tried to outdo growing up quickly. One day a man came to our lot and looked us all the other in over.'Yes,W he said to hlmself,nthe time has come to cut these trees.n A few days later crews of men with axes, saws, and trucks came. Almost before we realized what was happening we were hauled away to a box factory. There we were quickly cut down and sawed into thin boards and cut into equal lengths. I worried, and wondered what would happen to me. At the drying sheds one fall morning a workmen called to his helper, 'Joe, load this pile for the nailing crew. A big order of ten thousand boxes for the Northland Apple Orchards just came in. They've got to have them by a week from Saturday. Come on now! Neve boy!' In a few days I, with my many companions, was in a beautiful orchard. I've never seen such apples--big and red and juicy. It was only two days later that I started my big journey across the United States in a fruit car. Our destin ation was New York. A grocer in a small New England town ordered twenty-five boxes for his store. I went with the order. Hardly had I play when a lady bought me. The grocer put me in he been put on dis- r car. At her home I was greeted at the door by four young children. Of course, they were excited about the beautiful apples I held. I must confess that I was dismayed to find myself empty and thrown out into the trash barrel in the shed less th later. I missed the children. It was lonely there! Three weeks before Christmas I was surprised to an two weeks see the lady appear in the shed. She stood and looked at me. 'I wonder,' she mused,'1f that box wouldn't do. The pattern said to use an old fruit box, although I find it hard to bel1eve.' She took me, along with a magazine, to a friend. There she showed him a picture and asked questions. He seemed very sure he could do what she asked. That night he took me all apart and cut me into pieces, just the way the book said. Then he nailed the pieces of me together and attached some strings. 'What I was, I had no idea! The next night I was carefully smoothed with sandpaper and given the loveliest coat of soft walnut stain. I could see I was beautiful, even if I d1dn't know what I was. When the man took me to the lady, she clapped her hands.'Oh! It's lovely,' she criedgneven nicer than I expected. Thank you so much!' I was carefully wrapped in gay Christmas paper along with two bright plants and sent to a.doctor's home. Christmas day the wrappings were torn away and I heard the doctor's wife excla1m,'Dean come see! Have you ever seen anything so nice? It's a handmade copy of an old butter scales. It holds plants. I believe I'l1 put it on the table in your office. It's such a treasure I want everyone to see its beauty.' I was elated to know what I was and I fairly gleaned with pride. Today I was thinking over my life. How far I'd come from being a tree in a big forest! Through the hard, uncertain days after I was emptied of apples and thrown in the trash barrel I worried about my future. Now I was at peace at last for I had a home forever as a beloved treasure.

It could be my kid sister's latest crush. Maybe it's one of Dad's friends calling to invite him to a card game. Or perhaps Junior forgot what Mom wanted at the drugstore.

Then it broke off suddenly and silence again fell over the dark woods. I started, and stared in the direction from which the sound had come. Light from the full moon sifted down through the trees, and the light and shadows it created seemed to people the forest around me with dancing forms, that disappeared when I turned my eyes ' toward them. Even the trees seemed alive, jostling each other and whispering among themselves, while they seemed to crowd forward, as if to get a better look at me. The silence was next instant a huge, the right of me, its started back, but it again shattered by a long-drawn howl, and the misshapen monster broke from the underbrush to long, white fangs gleaming in the moonlight. I seemed not to notice me at all. As it moved off, down the road a queer odor came to me, stale and musty, like the smell when a long-untouched tomb is reopened. The wind sighed softly through the branches of the trees, and I listened intently, trying to pick up any sound that might convince me that this wasn't a dream, but the only sound I heard was the barely-audible whispering of the wind. Even the usual night sounds had stopped, as if the whole world were holding its breath, waiting to see what would happen next. Then I heard a heavy, rustling sound, as if a sack of meal or-- a body were being dragged over the thick carpet of leaves and pine needles that covered the forest floor. Suddenly the monster loomed up, almost beside me, dragging something, whose long, yellow hair trailed out, like a fan, on the ground behind it. The corpse's head turned toward me! It was a girl! And I swear, she looked right at me, as if pleading with me to save her. Her mouth opened, as if she were going to speak. 'Noi Noi This is crazy! She's dead! She can't speakln I thought wildly. 'The beast must have done itln The girl's throat was a red, raw wound, and her face and clothes were covered with blood, but, somehow, her face seemed vaguely familiar. Then --'Vickyt That's my sister, Vickyln I cried aloud, forgetting, in my grief, what I was doing. At my first word, the beast looked up. He started toward me! I tried to scream, but not a sound came. Then, suddenly, he stopped, and stood as if - listening. Then I heard it too -- men shouting and crashing through the underbrush, and flashlights bobbing toward us. The beast turned back toward Vicky, as if to drag her off with him. I stumbled forward, with the crazy idea of protecting her from him. I must have fainted then, because the next thing I knew I was sprawled across Vicky's body. Then somebody grabbed my arm and pull- ed me to my feet, roughly. 30 5- IP A SH 115 CON 491 WWhat'd ya have ta kill her for!W one of the men sobbed out bitterly. I stared at him curiously, and finally recognized Bill Lawrence, Vicky's fiance. 'But I didn't do it!W I protested. 'Then what have ya got that in your hand for?' I looked down and discovered that I had a long, wicked-looking hook in my hand, and it was covered with blood! 'How'd I get this?' I thought vaguely. WCome on, we're gonna take ya ta town. I hope they put ya in the insane asylum where ya belong!' 'But I didn't do it!' I shrieked. I guess I was getting a little hysterical, they practically had to drag me to the car. But I didn't do it! They say I'm crazy, everybody says so. They say I killed her because I was jealous of her and Bill. But she was my sister! I couldn't kill my sister! At least I don't think I could. I don't know, I'm so confused--. 'Do ygg think I'm crazy, nurse?W 'Of course not, dearieg you're perfectly all right. It's every body else that's crazy.' She says that so nice, but I know what she really thinks. But I don't care! Ha, ha! I don't care what anybody thinks! Ha, ha, ha, ha! 'Get the strait jacket and shock treatment ready, quick! I'm afraid she's gettin' hysterical again!W WBut I'm not crazy! Make them stop! I'm not crazy -- they are! You don't think I'm crazy, do you?' Betty Russell '53 ENGLISH lwith Tongue in Cheek!

Snow just went with Christmas! A young, healthy, crisp looking nurse was standing by the bed of a little boy who was not as active as the rest. He could not move from his hips down because he was in a cast. Wwill Santa come here tonight?N he asked the nurse, in a meek ' voice. WOf course, Eric, Santa goes everywhere on Christmas Eve. He doesn't skip anyone.U Eric looked relieved. But an older boy in the bed next to Eric said, UHa! Santa! There's no such thing. That's what babies think, but it's not true.W Eric looked bewildered. The nurse hurriedly replied, nwhy of course there's a Santa Claus 5 just you wait and see if he doesn't come tonightlu Even though some people thought it was wrong to have children be- lieve in Santa, it was a relief to the nurse to know that she had been able to hire a Santa from the Actors and Actresses Bureau. After the children had finished their dinner, those who could get out of bed were helped into slippers and robes. Some played records and sang. Others decorated the tree and hung stockings. Even the children in bed were busy making popcorn strings and paper decorations. Everyone was busy but Eric, who was occupied just in watching. He was propped up against pillows, waiting for Santa to CODIS o After the preparations were completed everyone went back to bed and the nurse led them in group singing while they waited for Santa to come. By now the bold little boy in the bed next to Eric had tried to convince others that there was no Santa Claus. Nevertheless the ap- pearance of the ward was a joyous sight. The bright colors in the ordinarily bare, white room, the stickers and crepe paper dolls in the windows, and the gay little tree, decorated as only children could do it,made a very homey atmosphere. Each bed had been decorated by its occupant. Bells and boughs the room was the dim candle hung from the ceiling. The only light in on each bedside table. 30 5- SHIP 491 115A 'UN But the most beautiful sight was the look of expectancy on the face of each little patient. They were very still now, just wait- ing to see if the bold boy was right. Suddenly bells could be heard jingling and a jolly voice say- ing, 'Whoa Rudolph, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Donder, Cupid, Comet, Blitzeni' Gleams of excitement could be seen in the eyes of these young invalids. They could hear someone stamping big feet in the corri- dor and then--Santa entered! There was no patient quiet now. The lights were on again and the party had begun. The nurse was excited and happy too. She had saved Eric's belief. Her thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of her desk phone. She ran and answered it. The voice at the other end of the line asked, 'Is this Miss Joan Keeper? This is Mr. Bry- an of the Actors and Actresses Bureau. I'm very sorry to have to disappoint you but we have just sent out our last Santa Claus and there is not even one left to send to your hospital. If you could wait for about two hours,perhaps we could accomodate you. would that be convenient?' 'No,thank you, I guess--no--thank--thank you for calling,' mum- bled the nurse.

As the horses broke from the starting gate, the roaring crowd leaped to its feet. WSupersonic is leading at the break,W the announcer continued, 'but Encounter is closing fast. My Boast is third, Mount Serf fourth, Space Cadet fifth, Cavalcade sixth, Peter's Pride seventh, Radar eighth and Ebony Gal ninth, a length behind.' Ebony Gal, I thought bitterly, what a dud she turned out to be! She hadn't won a race since I bought her. Five races, and not in the money once! It was lucky we couldnft race her last year as a two-year-old, or we probably would have lost a lot more money on her! How much expense can one horse be, I'd like to know? Too bad she didn't break her leg instead of just spraining it! It would have been good riddance! She wouldn't be in the Derby today if I had had my way. But my father insisted that someday she would get out there and wind up in the winners' circle. Win? What does that mean? My bitterness, pent up for so long, found expression at last in my mutinous thoughts. To lose our whole stable, because of buying one horse! KAnd what a horse! She'd be lucky if she went in the right direction!! Our whole stable, to pay a paltry 310,000 debt, when the Russell Stables were easily worth ten times that! At least we were allowed to keep 'The Gal' ibecause they thought she wasn't worth the cost of feeding her J. And they were certainly right! Now we were 3500 in debt again, just to pay for her feed and entrance fees! After this race we re washed up! 'If we only had a good horse in this race,' I moaned aloud. 'It would mean everything to us.' We had won the Kentucky Derby for the last two years, so it was almost a question of honor, not just money, to win again this year. 'At the quarter,' the announcer broke into my thoughts to say, 'it's still Supersonic in front, but he seems to be tiring. There! Encounter's in front! Cavalcade has moved up to third, with Mount Serf and Space Cadet fighting for fourth place. My Boast has dropped back to sixth, Peter s Pride seventh, and Radar eighth, with Ebony Gal moving up fast.' What happened, I thought, do you mean she's actually moving. She does look beautiful down there, though, I admitted reluctantly to myself. All black and shiny, with the Russell Stables' red and white silks standing out against her jet black hide. 'Ebony Gal is now neck and neck with Radar,' the announcer continued excitedly, now she has pulled ahead and is moving up on Peter's Pride.' I leaped out of my seat , doubting my ears. 'At the half, it's still Encounter in front, with Cavalcade second, Space Cadet third, Mount Serf fourth, Supersonic and Ebony Gal neck and neck for fifth, Peter's Pride seventh, My Boast eighth, and Radar ninth.' 'Come on, Gal come on,' I cried, jumping up and down in my excitement. 'Ebony Gal has passed the tiring Supersonic and is al- most neck and neck with Mount Serf. Now Mount Serf is moving up on Space Cadet again, with Ebony Gal right on his heels. Now Space Cadet is dropping back and it's Ebony Gal and Mount Serf, fighting lu Aa, 1,4 fr ' 5 M.

At the three-quarters pole and heading down the home stretch, it's Encounter still in front by half a length, with Caval- cade second, by a nose, and Ebony Gal third. Now it's Cavalcade and Ebony Gal, neck and neck for second. Now Ebony Gal is moving out in front and challenging Encounter. It's Ebony Gal and Encounter with the finish line just ahead! Under the wire, it's Encounter first with Ebony Gal second, and Cavalcade third. No, wait a minute! The judges have claimed a foul on Encounter for pushing, so that makes the winner,--the announcer paused a moment, as if to comfirm it-- 'the winner is Ebony Gal.' I sat back in my seat, suddenly weak. I turned to my dad and hugged him joyously. He was beaming. 'I told you so, I told you so,' he muttered, over and over again. 'Will the owners of Ebony Gal, Miss Vicky Russell and Mr. William Russell, come to the winners' circle, please?' As we pushed through the crowd, I took a hundred dollars worth of tickets out of my pocket. One hundred dollars, on the nose. The 'run for the rosesn was ours again! Betty Russell '52 RESEARCH PAPER Two weeks from Friday our research paper is due, And I've hunted in vain without even one clue. 'Try Britannica, or Comptons, or maybe Doubleday.n I search and I search but with only dismay. There are many topics from which one can choose, Subjects from which material would literally ooze. You can write on eyes, lies, sighs, or disguise, But what do I choose but the Nobel peace prize! I've known for four weeks that this paper was due, But I kept putting it off until there were two. My sentiments were, 'Oh, I'll do it later.' But now I'm too busy to compile any data. If I should get material, I'd be in a haze, With all we must write it would take utterly days. There are books in a footnote and authors in a bibliographr I think perhaps I should stick to geography. We have complained, and have not admitted It's good experience when and if it's submitted. But if I had my choice as to what I were to do, It wouldn't be a research paper, I'll bet you! Ann Bryant '52 30 S..

I was to set up a clinic in Grenville after I became a doctor. Then I would marry and father would have the last say as to whom I would marry. 'Must I always do things because Dad says I'm supposed to? The worst of it is I haven't got the nerve to tell him I don't want to do everything he wants me to.

But nog I had no backbone.n Then he glanced at me and said, 'You're the only one I can talk to without getting nervous. If only everyone was as understanding as you are.

Barbara Barnes '53 1 y 'W ,I I-I THOUGHTS WHEN SPRINQ comms In March the trees are bare, The howling wind tosses the Ice King's hair. Soon the snow is melting, And April rains are pelting. The flowers of May, Grow in the warmth of the day. The songbirds tune In the gayety of June. The warm July Brings the firefly. As the August moon rolls along, The crickets sing a lively song. The September days with the trees ablaze-- All the joys these months will bring, I think of with the first sign of spring.

But the world is beautiful in the cold. Moonlight filters through ice-laden trees And makes them look like glass. It shines on the crust of the frozen snow. Above, a million stars twinkle, Like exquisite diamonds on dark blue velvet. And it's cold. Always the steady, constant cold. Cold is a creature that pads and prowls around the house And tries to get in through cracks too small for mice. He whines and scratches at the kitchen door And rises in anger when the door is opened and the warmth from the red fire rushes out. His breath upon the window panes leaves a spidery web of frost. In the night he is a frightening thing. He will come in with his sinister bite, And will get us all if the red fire fails! Eva Adams '53 SITUATIONFHQPELESS Oh woe is me! I sit and stew- To write a poem I cannot do. rhyme in time and make some sense- dear! I fear I am too dense. To Oh From sinking ships to sunset's glow, To wintry scenes of ice and snowy From gurgling brooks to covered bridges, To rabbit tracks on snow-capped ridges. From moonlit nights to sunny days, From basketball to senior plays, From howling gales to bleating sheep- Oh dear! I fear I'm in too deep. Still woe is me, I'm in a haze. To write a poem while in this daze! I've worked and toiled, I'm in a sweat, Oh what is a word that rhymes with wgt? Basil Coolidge '52 This Is English. U1 Sewing Qc lass Take NoTe.!
