They have been four years of work and fun: work which has been essential and constructive, fun which may remain unexcelled. T 1 In the many years ahead of us we will be faced with these same two factors. The main thing that we shall need is courage, for the work will not be easy in this confused world in which we live. But with determination, success will crown our efforts. So uncornplainingly, unflinchingly, and ever with resolute energy, let us build the ladder by which we rise. tal Tis weary watching wave by wave, And yet the tide sweeps onward. We climb like corals grave by grave, And pave a path that's onward. We're beaten back in many a fray, But newer strength we borrow. For where the vanguard camps today The rear shall rest tomorrow. l

M. Wi gi 6155 Qgififwy The panorama of events of our four years in Rutland Hi h School has been made into a fourfreel March of Time film entitled Tie History of the Class of Fortyfonef' As the film flashes on the screen, we catch sight of nearly two hundred Freshmen eagerly clamoring at the doors of Rutland High on a bright September morning of 1937. No, the film is not in technicolorg that glow is merely the greenness characteristic of Freshies. The scene changes and we see ourselves being royally entertained by the lofty Seniors at our Freshman Reception. Almost at once we are introduced to the activities of our school by becoming members of various clubs such as Bomarte, Forensic, and Freshman Dramatics. Next we view our classmates pondering over the election of Freshman class leaders, and when the votes cast have been counted, we are congratulating jean Eddy, President, Robert Ross, Vice President, and our Secretary'Treasurer, Leonard Wing. Time Marches Gnu and the next scene reveals us as Sophomores, and feeling quite high and mighty about it. Pictures of jean Eddy, Arthur White, and john McGarry appear and we recall that they led our class as president, vice president, and secretaryftreasurer, respectively, when we were Sopho' mores. That same year Diana Wood, Gloria Daley, and jane Pratt were chosen to join the Cheer Leaders. All too quickly, one after another the views of our Sophomore year appear and disappear. Paris Merry'Go'Round was produced and the R. H. S. Band participated with the M. S. Band in a joint concert at the Memorial Armory. Once again, Time Marches On, and we find ourselves reviewing our never'to'be'forgotten junior year. Scenes from Sing a Song of College next attract our attention and we enjoy anew the antics of Dick Seward and Vivian DePas uale. Tclae scene shifts and gives us a glimpse of the junior Ring Committee selecting our class ring. jane Pratt, Arthur White, and Clinton Fiske were our class officers that year. The next momentous occasion was the induction of Leonard Wing, jean Eddy, Jane Pratt, and Beverly Woods into the National Honor Societ . Apple blossoms and a flower garden formed an enchanting background For our super-successful junior Prom where over two hundred danced to the music of the Green Collegians.
