Searchlight .nm no re.s'z'defzf'.v ddress Parents, members of the school board, Super- intendent Haggerty, teachers, underclassmen, and friends, good evening. On behalf of the Sen- ior Class of 1951, I would like to take this op- portunity to welcome you to these Commence- ment exercises which mark the end of a path of a twelve year aspiration toward a definite goal, the receipt of our diplomas this evening. It is ce1'tainly a good feeling to have the sup- port of a fine town like liichford and to know that behind every brick and stone in this build- ing there stands an interested and alert citizen who will put his every resource to the wheel in an effort to ease the task of learning and make run more smoothly the machine of education. Errors, we have made many. Honors and at- tainments, perhaps few, perhaps many. joys, sorrows, victories, defeats,-there have been too many to count. Now as we stand on the thresh- old of a new world of learning, we look back with mixed feelings of sorrow, and happiness. 'I his evening marks the attainment of a landmark in our lives but it also marks the close of the hap- piest days of our lives. I would like to speak to the underclassmen for a moment. All others need not listen. Scores of older people have told you to enjoy your high school days to the utmost for they were the happiest of your entire life, past cunmnuanmmunuuuuunuu muuumun jj , . si 2 5 5 2 3 5 mum-is 5 mu-mana and future. If you are anything like I was, you dismissed the advice with little thought. Perhaps tonight, at graduation, if you heard the same words echoed by one whom you all know and have been in close relation with the past few years, it would make an impression. If by so doing, one, just one, student can realize this ex- perience, it certainly is worth while, take my word for it. That is why I am going to say this now. Live the rest of your high school days in such a manner that you will derive the most pos- sible from them. Graduation may seem a long way off -to the unclerclassman, but it is upon you before you realize it. Cone from you are your happy school days-never to be recaptured. I can feel it now even as I stand here in clear view of all of you. I can feel the reluctance of the whole thing. To the other listeners, we would like you to know how gratifying it is and how much we ap- preciate all that has been done for us during our sojourn through Iiichford High School. I am certain that I speak for all when I say that we are better qualified to either extend our educa- tion or cope with the problems of a troubled world. Thank you.

Sonny-Hi Adrien! Adrien--Well, hi Sonny, long time no see. lVhat have you been doing with yourself? Sonny-Oh! Nothing much, just a little loaf- ing and as little work as possible. lt certainly seems good to see you. Adrien-We havenit seen each other since the night of june 8, 1951. Wonder what ever be- came of the kids that dropped out of our class, like liomauld Benjamin, Dennis Boright, Shirley Combs, Helen Cummings, Eugene Ma1'tel, Lu- cille Perro and Annette Smith? Sonny-l don't know, they just seemed to vanish into nowhere. Adrien-Remember our first year of Senior high? lt seems like a long time ago, but I can't remember the officers that year. Sonny-Yes, Bruce Archambault was presi- dent, Aubrey Bashaw, vice-president, Helen Cummings, treasurer, Ann Bicknell, secretary. Adrien-ltemember our first three weeks as freshmen? Boy, we thought we were big stuff then. But we soon got that taken out of us at the Freshmen Initiation. Sormy-Remember dressing up in our Indian costumes, and all the things we had to do for the Seniors? Adrien-Then came our first exams and boy were they tough. But we somehow managed to struggle through them. Sonny-Can you remember our sophomore vcar Adrien? f Adrien-Yes, and we didn't do much that year besides our sophomore hop in which every- one did a lot of quibbling over committees. Sonny-Also we were a little more sure of ourselves that year. Acltrien-The class officers that year, I re- member, were Aubrey Bashaw, president, janet Taylor, vice-presidentg Ann Bicknell, secretary, and Jacqueline Coodhue, treasurer. Sonny-Then came our junior year. We were getting older, and a lot more seemed to be hap- pening that year. Also we started our famous Saturday night dances. They were quite a suc- cess weren't they? E E inmunum.-ummmin iI-14In1111I11i11I1it1IIII1IiI-I-IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-III--4IIIIIIuu-IIIIIImImimmm-umIim1un-mnmmnmmiE5 mum1unumuuunmmmmuuuuumnuummuum1uummumnmnnnnmnnnumnnnIIIInuIunuuuuunnumnmmnIummnnnmmnum? Adrien-Yes, and there was certainly more fun had, than money made that time and all the rest of our junior year. Sonny-Adrien, remember that time our class had a food sale in which there was some sort of a mix-up and every one brought baked beans? Adrien-Yes I do, and Mr. Bicknell also ar- ranged for educational movies for each class. Sonny-Oh gosh! then came our senior year and how stndious We were going to be that year. Adrien-That certainly turned out to be a Hop for right after the first of the month we started preparations for freshmen initiation. Sonny-I can still see initiation day fourth period in the morning with all the freshmen sit- ting on the floor. Adrien-About that time Mr. Bicknell got high blood pressure and made them all sit back in their seats, much to our displeasure. Sonny-Then came basketball season once more with old veterans going around with aches and pains for a week after it started. Adrien-Then came preparation for the Christmas Ball, and what a job that Was. Sonny-And we only made ten little dollars. Adrien-Remember what a gyp we thought we were getting when Mr. Bicknell told us we couldn't have so many movies. Our fear was soon erased when we saw what swell basketball teams we had. E Sonny-And our possibility of going to the tournament was so close this year that it wasn't even funny. Adrien-Following basketball came rehersals for the animal Minstrel show, and the senior play. They were both big hits and a large sum of money was certainly cleared. Sonny-Well, Adrien, there goes that Atlas blackout whistle which means back to Work for me. Adrien-It seems only yesterday that we were back in old Bichford High. Well, so long Sonny! Sonny-So long, Adrien! 6 R.H.S.

AGNES LACROIX LYLE RUSHLOW VIRGINIA CLOUGH 'I his is the year 1961, and today is the day we hold our class reunion. We on the committee re- ceived telegrams this morning from all our class- mates telling us why they could not attend. Lyle-Virginia, I see you are modeling Huores- cent bathing suits from Evershine Company. You were always an excellent model. Agnes-Lyle, I see you are on the ALL-STAR basketball team. You were always a good basketball player. Virginia-Agnes, I see you have become the world's most accurate typist. You always were accurate in typing at school. Lyle-I'm a steam riveter and like the quiet at- mosphere, am putting nuts in a new sana- toruim so can't leave-Alex. Alex was always quite a chap. I am positive he is the most refined steam riveter in the business. Agnes-I have important case with Sister Kenny. Very sorry cannot make it.-Ann I wonder if Clayton ever got to be a doctor. Virginia-I am manager of Macy's Department Store in New York. This is our busy sea- son.-Aubrey I see Aubrey got his start while he was in high school. Lyle-We missionaries are leaving for Iapau im- mediately.-Bruce A. You know Bruce and his Inissions. Agnes-Because of my campaign for president I will not be able to attend the reunion.- Bruce Hodgman I always knew he would get to be president, of something else after being president of our class for two years. Virginia-I am a teacher. Have to go to conven- tion.-jo-Ann I wonder if the students like her any better than she liked her teachers. Lyle-As an astronomer, I am studying the heav- ens at Seashore with beautiful blond assistant. Star gazing date tonight.-Clayton Still up to his old tricks. Agnes-Sorry cannot attend, aIn having trouble with a few of the children at the orphange.- janet Her motto was business before pleasure and I guess she is living up to it. Virginia-Sorry cannot make it. I am a detective and am on a murder case.-Roger l guess Roger got his start in the senior play as being a policeman. Lyle-just joined the navy to see the world through a porthole.-Gaylord Cay is so ambitious. He will probably be an Admiral by the time the Heet reaches Manila. Agnes-I am personal manager of Woolworths in Burlington. Sorry can't make it.-Ardellc She started working there right after she graduated. She is doing very well. Virginia-Am secretary to the President of the University of Vermont. Cannot attend.- Beverley I see she finally got to be a secretary. Lyle-I am a farmer. I raise winter wheat and summer squash. Cannot come because of harvest.--Daton There is something queer about him. But I suppose Daton is a very scientific farmer and knows all about rotation of crops and every- thing. I wonder if he raises shorthorns. I never can remember whether they are cows or turnips, but he probably raises them any- way. R.II.S. Searchlight Agnes-Ani singing with Tommy Dorsey. We are leaving for a tour in Europe.-Adrien I wonder if he pays more attention to his mu- sic now then he did in school. V irginiu-l cater to large weddings. Have to be at Margaret T ruman's wedding tonight.- Irene I always thought Irene would be good at that since the senior play. Lyle-Sorry cannot make it. Pinch-hitting for Ted Williams in the ALL-STAB game.-John Buckley l knew that slugger would get a job.

Alex-Yes, I guess we saw just about all the types of creatures that exist. Daton-Dicln't any of you fellows notice how much the animals looked like the Class of '51? Alex-Yes, and didn't the baboon we saw look like Adrien Breault? With those goo-goo eyes. Gaylord-Yes, he surely did look like Adrien. But the way that pet parrot chattered reminded me of Bruce Archambault's eternal talking. Re- member how Mr. Pierce always had to shut him up in Agriculture? Daton-Did you see those dumb creatures called monkeys that live in Africa? They re- mined me of john Daignault and Roger Lumbra. Alex-They looked the part, all right. By the way, did you notice how the ostrich's wings looked like Io-Anne Ieune and her hair do? So prim and proper. Daton.-The love birds reminded me of Bev. Sonthward and Aubrey Bashaw, always billing and cooing. Gaylorfl-Say, didnit that shoesnake look just as cool and as calm as janet Taylor? Alex-When we got into the animal section, the lambs we saw reminded me very much of Agnes La Croix and Irene Brodeu1'. --------..-...................................................U.-.-Nin..nm.......m.......mm.m...m-11-IumIIII-I-mI.-1--11-1H1-mamma-nmnmm.i 3 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIlIllllIllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINYIIIIIDIIIIIIIIIllllIIIIIIHlIIIIIlIllllllllllllllmlllllilll Daton-Didnit they, though? That turtle looked an awful lot like Clayton Ploof. He was so slow moving and deliberate. Gaylord-That mountain goat way up there on that peak reminded me of Ardelle Martin and her home far away on Hardwood Hill. Daton-That kangaroo reminded me of Mar- garet jackson flying around the study hall. She was always very active in and out of school. Alex-The camel looked long-legged and skinny like jack Buckley. Daton-The cat looked so friendly and silky that I thought of Ann Bicknell at once. Gaylord-Do you remember the fox? He was so alert and bright eyed that I was reminded of Bruce Hodgman. Alex-The rabbit made me think of Virginia Clough. always hopping around. Daton-The cla1n's open jaws looked as powerful as Lyle Rushlow's grip. Alex--The wolverine looked as ready to fight as Cay. Yes, quite a dumb looking thing. Gaylord-And that shy-looking raccoon re- minded me of Daton F leury, who didn't do much running around in the day, either. Daton-The exhibit of the lion at the water hole reminded me of Alex Norris on his nightly trip to King's garage. Gaylord-Well, boys, now that we've run out of classmates to insult, we'd better beat it. 8 R.H.S.

It was her intention and would have been her great pleasure to present you personally with these tokens of her esteem, but, finding her pos- sessions were even more extensive and valuable than she had thought, it was impossible, partic- ularly as her last days were so occupied with social engagements and other dates not so social, but of great importance to the future, which she was obliged to keep with various members of the faculty. On these occasions, such weird and un- expected questions were addressed to her, an immediate answer in writing being required, that the strain left her too weary for additional effort. Because of this, if any slight discrepancies or apparent injustice or partiality should appear to you in the distribution of her effects, we trust you will pardon it and realize it is caused by ex- haustion of her brain, never strong. We, the class of 1951, in the town of Rich- ford, the county of Franklin, and the state of Ver- mont, being in as good mental condition as usual, and in much better temper than usual, do here- by make this, our last will and testament, render- ing void and of no avail any former will or wills that may have -been previously made by us dur- ing a period of temporary optimism. We have no specific directions to leave con- cerning our funeral, but we do hope you will come prepared to praise as well as bury us, for- getting the trifling faults that may have been ours and remembering only our manifold and re- markable virtues. We feel that our brilliant record and our un- usual achievements will live after us, but, not wishing to take any chances, we suggest that a tablet, on which shall be inscribed our several names and a few of our most astounding deeds, oanunnnnnnnnnnnnuIuIu1IIIIuIII1nunIuuvnrun1nuuuvuInunm-mnnmmumnmnnnunnnnmnmununmmmmnmnnannnmennnunnnnnnuunmuummunm . 1 0 S 3 S 5 I ZH fi 5 5 i 1 be purchased and placed in the gymnasium of the school in a position where it will strike the eye of all who enter. And in this manner do we dispose of our possessions: We give and bequeath, freely and without re- servations or stipulations to the junior class, our rightful heirs, our most important and valuable properties: that is, our self-satisfaction, our im- portance, and our wisdom, all of which we pos- sess in enormous quantities, and we hope said gifts will be of use in overcoming their present inertia. We also leave the junior class our good luck. It made us what we a1'e today, and it should sat- isfy them. In addition to this, all our privileges and rights as Seniors in the classroom will revert to them as well as any notebooks, pencils, foun- tain pens, unfinished lollypops, or unfinished business, including debts contracted while en- gaged in the business of being a Senior, also any boys or girls whom we may have left behind in our haste. We give and bequeath to the junior class our Well-known nerve, which they will need next year, and all the examination questions we have been given during the past year. We believe that an examination, like history, often repeats itself. The answers, never owned in entirety, have long since been mislaid by us and are not included in this legacy. To our good friends, the Sophomore class, we leave our patience. It will be found useful as the only means by which they can endure the juniors. To the young and unsophisticated Freshmen we leave a map of the school building, so that they will not get lost and roam about in every- body's way looking for their classrooms. We in- clude with this map our little book entitled, How To Tell The Teachersf' a pamphlet com- niled by us after four years of hard study. The legatees will notice this book is not what to tell the teachers but how. It contains specific infor- R.lI.S. Searchlight mation as to which teachers can be bluffed, which are easy and which are hard to please. It tells who your favorite authors must be to stand well with your English teacher, the favorite heros of the history teacher, and what questions to ask to make the science teacher forget the lesson and be interesting. This information is invaluable to any wishing to make high grades in the subjects mentioned. lt will be noticed that, although we have left bequests to the junior class, soon to be Senio1's, to to the Sophomores, soon to be Juniors, and to those who will, in the fall become Freshmen, we have made no mention of the present Freshmen class which will be known as the Sophomore class in a few months. WVe have left them no- thing, because by that time their self-valuation will have attained such heights that nothing in our possession would be regarded by them as worthy of their distinction. T o our principal we give and bequeath a sense of relief that we have at last been gradu- ated, pleasant memories of our four years to- gether, and a feeling of pride in any great deeds or noteworthy achievements that our future may contain, realizing that such glories, if any, will owe much to his example and counsel. To our teachers, the faculty of Richford High School, we hereby give, free from all inheritance, luxury, or income tax, our entire store of knowl- edge. From them it came and to them it should be returned, that others may be benefitted by it as we have been. Along with this knowledge is bequeathed much additional information ob- tained by original research and contemplation. VVe feel that it will prove sufficiently startling to merit consideration and might even, with profit, be incorporated in the next course of study. We lack space for details, but shall simply state that our arguments against final exams, as well as those for bigger and better holidays, and no high- er mathematics, our shortened list of require- ments for graduation, are of vital importance and should be familiar to every earnest student of education. We also give and bequeath to the teachers our very kindest regards and our sincere grati- tude for their unfailing kindness and aid. The smaller individual bequests are as follows: lWill you please stand as your name is readj -.-fl Bflly H utclzinson-To you we bequeath the right to use your own fountain pen and consider yourself lucky to get it back. Charles Jackson-To you we bequeath the per- sonality of the Seniors, so that in the future you will be able to keep a girl without our help. M r. Tufllzope--To you we bequeath our sense of humor, highly developed, so that your So- ciology classes might be made more interest- ing. Dana Barlner-To you we bequeath a wire re- corder so you can hear exactly how those long speeches of yours sound to the rest of us. Ilielzarrl Lumlara-To you we bequeath the right to use Evening in Paris perfume any time you want. Betty King-To you we bequeath the right to go out with Norman Doe without any competi- tion. Ianet Laafler-To you we bequeath a small pic- ture of Mr. Tudhope so you'll never forget those sociology Current Events classes. Gloria Currier--To you we bequeath a book on how to talk and talk straight. Faye Bashaw and Albert Perry-To you we be- queath a wedding ring so that you'll have one in advance. Prices are going up, you know. james Corliss-To you we bequeath the right to make as much noise as you want in music not necessarily by singing, even when Mr. Bick- nell is there. Fmmy Bicknell-To you we bequeath the right to go out with any girl in Richford and still go steady with Pam in Burlington. Maurice Dubrule-To you we bequeath a sub- scription to one of the funniest joke books so that you'll never be caught without a Witty remark. Keith Marston-To you we bequeath the right to go out with a certain junior girl no matter what Dick Lahue says. ltoger Creighton-To you we bequeath the right to get another girl to save you a seat on the bus as a certain junior girl did this year.

Bick- nell, explained to us that we were expected to study at least 15 minutes every day. Imagine, I5 whole minutes a day. lack-One of our punishments was to have to take English for four long years but I don't know how any English teacher, and especially Miss Stront, could have gotten along without me to read and explain to the rest of the class when she was lost for words. john-And then there were those Social Stu- dies where we were made to get up at 6 o'clock in the morning to get the latest news reports so that we could inform Mr. Tudhope of what was going on in the world. lack-l don't see how this place is going to get along without us seeing that we kept the place neat, kept order in the study hall when the teachers were down powdering their noses, and kept Mr. Papinean's beautiful gym floors clean of black marks. john-And how will the Clee Club get along without me to hold the bass section together, and how will the band get along without you to help Mr. Benoit direct and lead it? jack-l'm worried about M1'. Papineau. VVhat will he do without me to knock in that winning run in a tight ball game and without you to pull the basketball team out of a hole when when they are losing? luck-lt worries me when I think of those math classes. Mr. Bicknell always depended upon me to show him how to do the written problems. john-Mrs. Benson will miss me i11 typing be- cause I kept the machines in good repair and gave all of her time tests. lack-Mr. Papinean will miss my being around because I was the only one in school with whom he could speak French and expect to be understood. john-Even Ross will miss me because it was I that made the underclassmen keep the floors clean and the baskets emptied. lack-What will Halloween be like? The town will be ruined, because it was always us who helped Luke Martin keep order. john-The underclassmen never did appreci- ate ns but when we are gone they will realize how much they depended upon our brains and abilities. And I don't see how any social affairs can be held after this. Why, we were the social lions of the school. We kept the girls occupied with our wonderful dancing and conversation. How we used to slay those girls when we would walk into the dances. Theyill be lost without us. luck--But john think of the Minstrel show how will those endmen ever get along without me to get the jokes over for them. john-Dear Miss Stront, she was always yell- ing at me and making herself hoarse. I wonder what she will do without me to keep her sweet voice exercised. Jack-John, I think the town should call a special town meeting so that we can be put on the school board so that the place will be able to carry on next year.

At the same time as our teams are improving We are giving a large group of youngsters the opportunity of playing basketball. baseball, volleyball and softball. The future looks bright for athletics in Rich- iord lligh School. XVe have excellent material coming up from the grades. Even though it will he impossible to win all games. we can. never- theless. rest assured that the townspeople will be proud oi' their teams. linglisli lu the line with the recent trends in the teach- ing ol' linglish, the department aims to adapt the training oilered to the needs of varying groups. For the comparatively small munber of prospec- tive college students, work adequately following college entrance requirements is provided throughout the course. But for the majority ol' pupils. the assignments given are of a type stressing rather more general objectivesg namely, the development of CU ability to comprehend reading matterq QZD adequate skill in handling oral and written forms of expression, and QSQ gradually increased capacity for the enjoyment oi' literature. This subject is required throughout the six years. Classes V and VI make fairly detailed study of the history ot American and English lit- erature. Each year selected classics are read in classg and beginning with Class Ill, the pupils are expected to read, in addition, several books chosen from approved lists designed to allow some freedom of choice and gradually to raise in- dividual literary standards. The school has bought a large munber of books in the past two years. and there is now a school library of about 350 books. Drill in spelling, grammar Cmostly iuuctiouall. word-study, and the various form of 26 H.H.S. Searchlight composition, as well as such units as the study of library facilities and newspaper Work, constitute the rest of the course. The department aims to correlate the work in English with that of other departments and to place emphasis in class activities on the vital prin- ciples of the democratic way of life. History Following the revised curriculum for the So- cial Studies as given in the State Course of Study the course for Class I covers the Geography of Asia, Africa, and South America during the first semester and American History in the second se- mester. Class II continues the study of Ameri- can History for one semester and studies Com- mercial Geography during the second semester. In Class III a study is made of such subjects as requirements of good citizenship, taxation, community life, insurance and current history. A te ctbook is used in connection with this course during part of each week. A small newspaper written so as to be easily understood by the stu- dents is used as a basis for current history. Thus students are kept informed of the events happen- ing in the world about them. It is hoped that in- terests aroused in current affairs during school days may be continued in after life, developing open-mindedness, a very desirable quality of the good citizen. In History IV a study of Greek, Roman, and Medieval European civilizations is made as a background for modern history study. The Feu- dal system, the Renaissance, the development of nationalism in Europe and the Reformation are given special attention. Our heritage from these sources is emphasized. American History, which is open to Classes V and VI, is required for graduation. Students in American History make a detailed study of the development of this country from a wilder- ness to its present state of civilization. Special emphasis is given such subjects at the Revolu- tionary War, circumstances leading to the forma- tion of the Constitution, the rise of political par- ties, structure of American govermnents, struggle for union. development of the United States as a world power and its part in World Wars and the peace. Debates on subjects related to material of the courses are held throughout the year in all his- tory courses. Term papers, which represent the result of detailed study and research on a select- ed topic are written by each student in Classes V and VI. Sociology Sociology is a social science course open to Classes V and VI. It has one aim and purpose- to give the student a grasp of himself in his proper relation to his social world, its institu- tions, and its problems, to understand the nature of our social problems, to trace their roots into the past, and to understand the best techniques we have yet discovered for dealing with them- is our goal. Mathematics Mathematics is required in the first three years. In Class I decimals and fractions are re- viewed, with particular stress on their practical uses. Percentage and interest are studied in their simpler forms. Lessons in thrift and arithmetic as applied to business are stressed. Intuitive geometry and the use of graphs are studied dur- ing the latter part of the year. In Class II considerable time is spent on measurements of surfaces and solids, percentage, and interest in their various phases are empha- sized. Throughout this course the importance of saving money, both by thrift and economy and by safe investments, as well as the subject of life and property insurance are impressed upon the students. For Classes III and IV elementary algebra through quadratics is offered. Practical prob- lems are solved as soon as the students learn how to handle equations, and the fact that algebra is a powerful instrument to be used in any field of knowledge is stressed. Algebra is required for students who plan to enter college. In Class III a C0ll1'S6 in general mathematics is also offered. This continues the work studied in Classes I and II, advancing into more difficult practical problems and a better understanding of stocks, bonds, budgets, taxation, and insurance. Some intuitive geometry and algebra are included to make the solution of problems easier. Plane Geometry in Class IV or V is a course in It.II.S.Ser1reIiIight 27 BASEBALL TEAM Back ltow:-Coach Papineau.

This course includes a re- view of grammar and a thorough study of the re- maining fundamentals of grammar not completed in French 111. ln reading, emphasis is placed upon comprehensive conversation. General Science III This course is exactly what its name implies -a general and elementary survey of most of the sciences. It embraces some of the funda- mentals of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astron- omy and other sciences. It is valuable as an exploratory course, in that pupils find out early in their course whether or not they're interested in science and whether or not they are capable ol' carrying the more advanced course of science. 28 H.H.S. Seurcliliglif MIXED CLEE CLUB Biology IV NVhile the course of Biology is ollfered pri- niarilv for members of Class IV, it serves as an elective for other classes. The aims of the course are: Qlj To gain a perspective of the nature and scope of biological scienceg thereby, revealing possible avocational and vocational fields. CQQ The improvement of human life thru adjustment of the living and physical environ- ment.

Every industrial pursuit, every household activity is made easier and more eflectively by an under- standing of the physical principles involved. A good physics course makes life pleasanter be- cause it makes it better understood. Pupils are given the fullest possible oppor- tunity to perform experiments personally. in the laboratory and to receive explanation about mechanical devices or happenings in the physi- cal World. Clzenzis-try This course is offered as an elective, open to students in Classes V and VI. As in Physics the aim of the course is principally to acquaint the stndent with the application of chemistry to the problems of every day life.

The farm should be considered as a busi- ness and if the farmer is to run the farm efficient- ly, he must be able to use good judgment and practice careful management. The soil is de- pleting rapidly, the country is becoming more populated, competition is getting keener, thus the need for a Yriculture trainin is more essen- u lv tlal than ever. Uur work in Agriculture extends through six years of the Junior-Senior High School, being required of boys in Classes I, ll and elective for Classes Ill, IV, V and Vl. During the first two years an introductory course in general agriculture on a prevocational basis is offered in which the boys develop an appreciation of the importance of agriculture. They are given the opportunity to do simple jobs such as seed testing, making rope halters, inns,annn1in1111111i1iiiii1ii11iitiW..1Wi...m.....,........... .Hinu111i1an111-4.i1uI11IIIIIIiIIIIII1I-IIIIIIII.III1III1IIuIIiimnnmnninmu1-um-man-i splicing rope, running a hot bed, and managing a garden. At the same time they develop a better understanding of nature through units taught in identifying trees, weeds and wild flowers. They learn the reasons why seeds ger- minate and why plants grow, and the relation- ship between plants and animals and their im- portance to man. Classes III and IV are combined into one group while V and VI form another. Each groups meets for 2 periods every day. The work, however, is planned so that there is very little outside work, aside from farming problems. Work in Vocational Agriculture is organized on a job basis in order to provide as much prac- tical training as possible. Each boy is required to ca1'ry on a worthwhile program which he runs as his own business. This combination of classroom work and farming program enables the boy to apply the principles and practices which are best suited to the type of farming in this region. 30 R.II.S. Searchlight During the first two years emphasis is based on developing operative skill in running the farm such as raising young stock, feeding for milk production, etc., while the last two years are devoted mainly to management problems, dealing with organizing the farm business, planning a cropping system, Hnancing, etc. At the present time liichford has one of the best agricultural departments in the state, and IS in a position to serve the community by fitting boys to farm successfully and at the same time by helping the farmer Whenever necessary in regard to testing milk, testing soil, culling, ca- ponizing, etc. Every fall, a School Fair. sponsored by Ilome Economics and Agricultural students is held. judging teams a1'e sent to the State Con- tests each year, and have been quite successful in the past. The Iiichford Chapter of the Future Farmers of America is one of the most active in the state and is proud to have the first national officer from the State of Vermont as a member of its chapter. Home Economics Home Economics is learning how to live, love and be happy, which includes far more than learning just the arts of cooking and sew- ing. Each girl enrolled in the course will carry on projects in her home, under the supervision of the teacher that are in correlation with her class work, so that she may be able to put into actual and practical use the theory learned in the classroom. The courses offered to the combined class of III and IV are elective as are those offered to the combined class of V and VI. Each Class meets for two periods three days a week. The work is planned so that there is very little out- side preparation aside from project work. Home Economics I and II is organized on a prevocational basis, the units taught being se- lected to give the girls, an appreciation of the fundamentals of Home Economics. In Class I the units studied teach the girls the care of themselves, their clothes and their rooms, under- standing children, simple hand stitches, machine stitching used in making a garment for the foods laboratory and how to plan and prepare a break- fast efficiently. In Class II the foods work is continued with the planning, preparing and serving of suppers and luncheons. The clothing program is the selecting and making a cotton school dress. Em- phasis is placed upon the many little things which the girls may do to make for a more har- monious family life. The work of Class III, IV, V and VI includes of course, more difficult problems and develops greater skill. The units offered include: ad- vanced clothing and food problems, children's care and clothing, boy, girl and family relation- ships, housing, family finance, home nursing and household mechanics. The Home Economics laboratory is very well equipped. Three new sewing tables and twelve chairs were added recently. The Home Econo- mics girls are often called upon to aid in the preparing and serving of food on various occa- sions and thus develop more skill. Homemaking education is of vital importance during this crisis as it tends to make healthier and better citizens. Commercial Work The primary aim of the studies taught in the department is to prepare the student for entry into the business world. Elementary Bookkeeping fCIus.s VJ - The aim of this course is to give the student the understanding of bookkeeping and business proceedings that he will need as a citizen re- gardless of how he may make his living. The course is not only to prepare the student for routine office work, but also for participation in business itself. The student is taught how to keep books: and also business principles and business procedures. Typcwriting V In the study of typewriting, the primary aim is the development of typing power for personal or vocational use. This aim is accomplished by the development of the fundamental technique of the keyboard, a familiarity with common office forms and office procedures, also, the de- velopment of personal qualities such as accuracy responsibility. dependability, courtesy, initiative. judgment and tact. At the end of the first year, the student is expected to type accurately at a minimum speed of 30 words a minute. v v . ll.lI.b.Seureliliglzt S1 l I U'l'URE FARMERS OF AMERICA l runl ll1lVtZ'-lilt'lllll'llSllll.

Stermglvlpliy VI This course is a continuation of Stenograpliy V with emphasis on the accurate transcription of shorthand notes. The principles of Gregg Shorthand are reviewed and speed huilding drills are given. Attitudes and behavior neces- sary to success in office work are developed. and the many qualities which a good secretary must possess are studied. At the end of the course the sudent is expected to transcrilme accurately material dictated at the rate of 120 words a minute. Music Cllee Cluh once a week is open to all students.

R.II.S.Searchlight 33 . . . General Information . . . 4-7 The two years of junior High School are designated, Class l, II. The four years of Senior lligh School are Class III, IV, V and VI. Pupils who have completed satisfactorily the work of the six elementary grades of the Rich- lord public schools are admitted to Class I. Other pupils are admitted upon presentation of an officially signed statement of the work they have done. Tuition A tuition fee of S175 per year, payable in in- stallments of 887.50 each, must be paid by all students, whose legal residence is outside of liiehford. If the pupil lives in a Vermont town, which does not maintain a high school, his home town is legally obliged to pay his fee. Tuition in the Graded School is S115 per vear m . Marking System 'Ihe system of marking conforms to the rec- vnnnendation of the state committee on uni- form marking system. An A represents a superior type of work, B is good, Ci, is fair or average, D is poor or below average, while F is failure. One credit will be given at the end of each year for each full-time subject passed. To graduate, a pupil must obtain four eredits for each year which he attends school, or a total of twenty-four for the six years of 'luuior-Senior High School. Reports Com ilete. formal re Jorts are sent to the l . parents at the cud of each 6 weeks. College Certification A pupil who plans to go to college should seek advice of his teachers as to the election of his studies, study the entrance requirements of his prospective college as shown by the cata- logues on file in the school library and make out his high school course accordingly. Thus, disap- pointment may be avoided. General Regulations Until proven otherwise, it is always assumed that the pupils will conduct themselves as ladies and gentlemen. Therefore there are as few rules as possible. Pupils will be held responsible for all willful and careless damage to the building or equip- ment. The consent of the principal must be ob- tainel before arranging any athletic event, social function or entertainment of any kind. The school recognizes the right to exercise control over students at all times in so far as their conduct can be shown to have an effect upon the general good of the school. Parents and other adults are welcomed at the school at all times and are especially invited to visit and inspect the work in recitations and laboratories. The authorities welcome with en- thusiasm an intelligent and sympathetic crit- icism. A pupil of ordinary ability in Class I will probably not need to do more than moderate amount of studying outside of school hours, if he employs his school time to good advantage. 'I he amount of work gradually increases until the senior high school, in which the work is so planned as to require in most cases at least two hours study per day outside school hours to produce satisfactory results. Parents are asked to see that this is complied with. Parents can also help in the matter of ab- sence and tardiness. The pupil is expected to present to the principal at the first session of the school, after an absence, an excuse signed bv either parent or guardian, stating explicitly the reason for the absence. The principal re- serves the right to demand a physicians certifi- cate in cases which in his judgment calls for such a step. R.H.S.
