The Growth of Sheffield High Sohool At left : Buildings ap to 1908 Primary and Grammar Sohool (No 1) One room High School (No 2) 1933 At left: Breaking ground for addition 1950 At right: Our school today Sheffield High School Our Sheffield school system was firmly established in the early eight- een hundreds. There were private institutions known as The Old Academy situated on Pine Knoll Reservation and Sheffield Academy established in 1837 on the Plain. During the year 1870, Miss Ann Fitch became the first Principal of a new high school which was located in Ashley Falls and later permanently moved to SholTield Center. In 1871, the town decided to erect a building to accommodate the needs of the increasing number of students. We note the following transaction from a town meeting held in April of that year: Voted — that the selectmen be instructed to cause a building for high schools to be erected of size convenient to seat 75 scholars and to cost not more than $3 500. The first formal graduation took place in June 1885. Diplomas were presented to Mary Wright Leffingwell and Frank H. Caude, who had completed a three year course of study. When the Alumni Association was organized in 1902, honorary degrees were conferred upon those who had graduated prior to 1885. During 1903 the four-year plan of High School was adopted. After the erection of the present high school building in 1908 many changes were made to accommodate the growing needs of the school. In 1926 it became quite apparent that a larger school was needed. Public opinion was so aroused that a building committee was appointed to study conditions and provide a plan. This committee in February, 1932 recommended the con- struction of a new Junior and Senior High School. This would have accom- modated the upper six years of study leaving the other building for the lower grades. It would have afforded the Sheffield boys and girls educa- tional opportunities of a standard equal to those of other small towns in our state. This proposed new school was voted down in town meeting in March, 1932 in spite of the fact that $8,000 had been pledged by private subscription, and instead an addition was built to relieve the crowded condition tempor- arily. Under the Principalship of Mr. Clarence A. Merritt, the state Depart- ment of Education raised the rank of Sheffield High School to A . Mr. Merritt who retired in 19 (after a period of 23 years of service at Sheffield High) was ever interested in the betterment of the school, not only scholastically but in that all-important phase of life, character building. Mr. William Hartley, who followed Mr. Merritt, was principal from 19 + +- 19 1 +8. In these years, a splendid spirit of sportsmanship was built up in our school. In September 19 +8, our present principal, Mr. Howard Hennigar, came to Sheffield. Mr. Theodore Williams, assistant principal, with four other teachers now make up the staff of the Junior and Senior High School. The present building is far from adequate for our needs both for space and equipment. We hope in the near future that our town will provide a modern building with improvements to benefit the growing numbers and needs of Sheffield ' s young people. os-ul XJ A-A r swuries 3sv v (rxj rguU -- -- yryiXkL6t jfr i J: XM dr yd fc- i u4j jtt d A yyCX AjdJL H i to-C I  « fl EAlXt ■ HHn 7 M TEACHERS AND SCHOOL PERSONNEL Front Row Mrs. P.

It has also taught us the significance of fair play. In our generation one needs more than just reading, writing, and arith- metic; yes, the basic fundamentals are needed, but we also had to develop the ability to think for ourselves. Many hours of informal discussion in classes have taught us to respect the opinion of others and to understand their opposing viewpoints. The spirit of give and take at class meetings, student council, and various other group activities demonstrated our privilege of voicing approval or disapproval on a multitude of school issues. Everyone had the chance to express himself fully. We carried out the plans that were finally decided upon by the majority. In our interscholastic games and contests, we were taught fair play. To win, of course, was the student aim of all this competition. Although we stressed the winning, the victory was not as important as how the game was played. In victory, we were pleased and filled with a feeling of happiness and self-satisfaction. In defeat, we learned to accept the loss with grace. Having developed the qualities necessary for harmonious relationships in a little more than a decade, we hope to carry on these standards of fair play and respect for others in the years to come. May these principles ever remain a part of our Democratic Way of Life, so that all future graduates may continue to enjoy an established natural right. If we are to maintain these prerogatives, not only must we practice them but we must also continually strive to better them In his speech delivered at Easthampton, L. I., July 4, 1916, Charles Evans Hughes said, --When we are thinking of the ideals of democracy, we are thinking of the schools, and we deplore every condition in which we find man lower than he should be under a free government, and we want rreater victories of democracy that the level of success shall be raised. I wish to thank you--parents, members of the school board, faculty, students, and friends— for your help in firmly rooting in us these ideals of democratic living during our twelve years here at Sheffield High School. V e want you also to share in the happiness we feel tonight. Representing the Class of 1950, I bid you a most cordial welcome to our graduation exercises. 16 VALEDICTORY ADDRESS Parents, Faculty, Classmates and Friends: For many years we have looked foreward to this day, the wonderful day when we would be through with school. There would be no more dull studies, no more homework, we would enter a brave new world of freedom and opportunity. That brave new world lies just beyond the door of this room. We do not fear to enter, but strangely enough we are not experiencing that happiness about which we had dreamed. Our thoughts, as we sit here do not bound foreward in anticipation of adventures which lie ahead, but rather, return along the path upon which we have journied these many years. This is a High School Com- mencement but for all of us it is more than that, some of us began our school life together in this very building, others joined our ranks in the seventh grade, we have been friends a long time. During these years of childhood and early youth we have learned more than the studies offered in the curriculum. We have learned that there are times when we must turn to teachers as friends for help and guidance. We have learned co-operation, and also initiative in leader- ship. If we carry this knowledge with us into the world which lies ahead, the road will be made more easy and we will be better able to appreciate the pleasures which we may encounter. It is difficult to say what may befall us. This atomic age in which we live has many diverse elements, we may be on the threshold of a bril- liant new age or on the edge of disaster. What ever lies ahead, we must face it with courage. We can feel that the training we received at Sheffield High School will better en- able us to adjust ourselves honorably. This time of parting contains an element of sadness; it is hard to break old ties but we cannot dwell forever in the past. We must go on to bigger and better things. We are fortunate that we have had our years at Sheffield and in saying farewell my classmates join me in expressing our gratitude to our parents, teachers, the school committee and the townspeople for making our years at school so happy and of such value to us. Tonight as we leave the doors of Sheffield High School we have taken the first step toward the goal which is expressed in our class motto, To the Stars Through Difficulties. 11 17 18 Wwi CLASS NIGHT PROGRAM Address of Welcome Lovina Bradley- Night Day Glee Club Class History Anita Charbonneau Laura Straleau Indian Love Call , Glee Club Class Will Patricia Whalen Kathryn Moesley Rhapsody In Blue .Band Class Statistics Agnes Hewins Margaret Maloney I ' ll See You Again Senior Class Class Prophecy Jean Sidelinger Roma Weser When Day is Done Glee Club Senior Celebrities Lovina Bradley Class Gifts Alan Gould Lewis Rote Alma Mater (Audience Standing) Everyone ADDRESS OF WELCOME Mr. Somes, Members of the School Committee, Faculty and Friends.

Lovina Bradley Senior Class President 19 M ■ CLASS HISTORY As I was browsing among the old worn volumes in our bookroom one day, I saw a new book in a bright red binding. I climbed on a chair, pulled the book -down from the shelf, and on the cover were the following words in brilliant gold lettering. History of the Class of 1950. Knowing that our class had not yet graduated, it seemed very mysterious. Who could have written this book? I turned to page one; the first thing I spotted was a picture of our old classmates, taken in 1946. They were: David Ball, Frank Franklin, Donald Orcutt, Lewis Rote, Alan Gould, Lovina Bradley, Nancy Cartinelli, Anita Charbonneau, Cornelia Crosier, Mary Dutcher, Joanne Hartley, Agnes Hewins, Laurette Kirchner, Margaret Maloney, Kathryn Moesley, Elinor Nourse, Marie Sidelinger, Jean Sidelinger, Laura Straleau, Patricia Whalen, and Minnie Wilhelms. Page two read as follows: On a warm September day in 1946, twenty-one pupils gathered together in Room 4, full of anticipation and misgivings as to what the next four years held for them. However, due to the efficiency of their teachers and principal, they were soon busily engaged in their various tasks, and before they knew it the year had passed. During their first year they had the following teachers: Gladys Roraback, who was appointed Class Advisor, Mrs. Leaf green, Mr. Spriggs, Mr. Williams, and Miss Larkin. These teachers, under the leadership of Mr. Hartley, the principal, helped the class be- come acquainted with its new environment. At the opening of school, the Sophomore year, it was found that three members of the class were not returning, Elinor Nourse, Minnie Wilhelms, and Marie Sidelinger. Roma Weser, however, joined the class and it was minus three plus one to make the membership nineteen. Mr. Spriggs left the school at this time and Mr. Martin took his place, then during the latter part of the year Mr. Martin left and his duties were assumed by Mr. McCann. When Junior year rolled around, Mr. Hartley who had been our Principal since 1944, left Sheffield to become the Principal of the high school at Stow, Massachusetts and Mr. Hennigar was appointed in his stead. Miss Larkin also departed ana was replaced by Miss Hannigan. At mid term Mr. McCann left to return to active duty in the U.S. Army and Mr. Mather took his place. Joanne Hartley was no longer with us and Russell Upton came to Sheffield and was enrolled In the class. As the class convened to start its Senior year those who were left felt that they had finally reached a point in their arduous Journey where they could see their goal in the not too far distant future. 20 There had been more changes In the faculty. Mrs. Leaf green who had taught the Commercial classes for four years, did not return at the opening of the Senior year and Mr. Morace took over her courses. Mr. Mather who had taught the Social Studies was replaced by Mr. Healey. Also, Laurette Kirchner left us at this time, to continue her studies at Searles, The last page of the mysterious book was reached and on it was but one line--- — --- — During Commencement week — - — Commencement week is here and the unfinished sentence should read: seventeen Seniors: David Ball, Prank Franklin, Donald Orcutt, Lewis Rote, Alan Gould, Lovina Bradley, Nancy Cartinelli, Anita Charbonneau, Cornelia Crosier, Agnes Hewins, Margaret Maloney, Kathryn Moesley, Jean Sidelinger, Laura Straleau, Patricia Whalen, Roma Weser, and Russell Upton will receive their diplomas and with great regret they will say good-bye to the memories of happy days at Sheffield High School.

Time: I960 Place: New York City PROPHECY Arriving at Grand Central Station from Idaho is none other than Jean bidelinger, who has spent the entire trip reminiscing. She hasn ' t been jiast since graduation and wants to see some of the old sights. As she recalls the names of those in the class of ' 50, she is reminded that Roma Weser is living in New York, and calls her from a booth in the station. Roma: Jean: Roma: Hello. nS! 11 ? Red  y° u s °und Just the same after ell these years. Why Jean Sidelinger, I ' d recognize your voice anywhere. This is the surprise of a life time. Where are you? How long are you here for? You ' ll stop up ana see me, won ' t you? 24 Jean: hold on Roma, how about giving me a chance to answer some of these questions? I suggest we head for the nearest restaurant. Roma: Good idea. Say, you know that would be fun. Don Orcutt owns a resteurant fairly near here. Wouldn ' t he be surprised to see us? He calls it ' Don ' s Rendezvous, ' and the food is super. I ' ll meet you there in an hour. Don ' t get lost on the way. Jean: Isn ' t this a swanky place! I always knew that Don would do well in whatever field he chose. Roma: Isn ' t it too bad he isn ' t here to greet us? His work surely takes up a good deal of his time. There ' s a cozy table near the orchestra. Jean: Yes, and isn ' t that orchestra leader goodlooking? Roma: I ' ll say so. Lets hurry over to that table before someone beats us to it. By the way, Jean, did you know that Pat Whalen is living in Chicago now,, working for the Daily Argus? So far, no male has entered into the picture, but sooner or later she ' ll tie the knot, no doubt. Jean: Really, I just heard that Laura Straleau, (remember the cute little chick that she was) is now a model and is attaining great success. Perhaps we have another Sloan Simpson in our classl Roma: We may at that. Do you recall Alan Gould? He ' s another cele- brity in our midst. He has been awarded the title of the world ' s feather-weight boxer. Alan took up boxing right after graduation and with a great deal of practice and many blows he is now tops in his field. And do you recall Agnes Hewins? She ' s riding in- structor for G Bar S Ranch. Agnes always had a terrific love for horses so her job suits her to perfection. Jean: You can ' t imagine where Anita Charbonneau is now, Roma. She left the United States for France a few years ago on a visit and liked the place so much she decided to stay. Anita is now an interpreter. She used to be an A-l student at Sheffield. And Frank Franklin must have changed considerably since the days at Sheffield. He was always such a quiet boy. The job of train engineer is his and he ' s traveled the U.S. from East to West as mucn as he has from North to South. Roma: How fortunate he is. And I ' ve been stuck in Manhattan all these years. Did you know that Cornie Crosier is new chief lion tamer for Ringling Bros. Circus? After portraying the part in the class play the life seemed so intriguing that she headed for the nearest cage. You know Lovina Bradley was one of the few lucky girls to grab a man. She ' s been married for 9 years now, and has three of the most beautiful children. She ' s a fortunate girl. Jean: I always knew Lovina was the family type. Say Roma, doesn ' t the orchestra leader look familiar? Can you beat that, it ' s Dave Ball. Hasn ' t he changed? With an alias like Benny and his Trubadores, one of the top five favorites in the country, it ' s no wonder we didn ' t recognize him in the billing. Margaret Maloney, the musician of the class of ' 50, has furthered her education and now is on television. Tonight, Roma, we ' ll tune in channel 6 at 7:30 to see her performance. Roma: Yes, and if you could tune in on your set to the Sheffield Post Office, you ' d see Nancy Cartinelli handing out your mail. She took her position a few years after graduation, and has stayed in Sheffield ever since. Louis Rote stayed in the good old town too. He ' s started a medical practice there and is 25 Jean: Roma: Jean: Roma: Jean: doing a thriving business. n Remember what a great actress Tiny Moesley used to be? Well, she s greater than ever now, and takes a character part in a playhouse. Look for her pictures as one will soon be released. Russ Upton I heard, has a booming business baok in Sheffield. He really followed through his ambition. As I can remember he talked of being an undertaker years ago. You oan be sure Upton will always let you down. What have you been doing since graduation Jean? After working for a few years in Great Barrington I thought I ' d like to see a little of the country. Idaho was so likeable I decided to stay, and now I own a vacation resort in Sun Valley. How about driving out to see me sometime, Roma? I ' d love to sometime, Jean. I ' m pretty busy back here in New York, but perhaps I can squeeze it in on my next vacation. I ' ve been a private secretary to the president of U.S. Steel Co. here, for the last five years. It ' s been wonderful going back over the years and talking about old times this way, but do you realize that we haven ' t ordered yet, and I ' m starving. CLASS GIFTS To Anita, we give this pen to take rapid dictations when she gets her job with the United Nations. To Tiny, our class athlete, we give this basketball, because you know in this fine sport she is best of all. To Lovina, we give this car, so she may travel near and far. In the event that she may stray, her friends will not be far away. To Laura, we give this motor boat, so o ' er Twin Lakes she may skim with all the speed that she may need, minus the help of oars or him. To Jean, we give a motorcycle, Agnes, when your beau comes over a gadget built for two, and you go out on a (Jate, so when she ' s bouncing over the hills, take this little watch along she won ' t be very blue. so you won ' t get home too late. To Lewie, our class chaffeur, we give this can of gas, so he can always travel far to see his young fair lass. To our nurse to be, Nancy, with a sweet disposition, we give this first-aid kit to help a practicing physician, 26 To Patsy, who likes to travel, we give this ocean liner, so when she ' s not in a hurry, she can take a slow boat to China. To Margaret, our class musician, we give this Spinet, small, and hope with all her talent, she will play in Carnegie Hall. To David, our class observer, we give this pair of glasses, so that he may continually watch all the colorful lasses. To Russ, our class mortician, we give this bottle of formaldehyde, so that he may embalm his victims after they have died. To Alan, our cheery class wit, Prankie, the Air Force wants to join, always may he be this way, so if he should ever chance to roam, and with the help of this joke book, we give this Texaco map  let all his blues be driven away to help him find his home. We give to you, Cornelia, this pretty railroad ticket, and if to New York you want to go, you may travel there, with it. To Don, our carpenter, to help him in his work, we give this little hammer so he will never shirk. To Roma, our fair lass from New Rochelle, we give this little hen, so that in the future she may lose her fear of them.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council plays an important part in solving student problems. Suggestions brought up by students are discussed at Council meetings with the expectation that the solution can be reached. Not only is the Student Council a mediating body for the students but also the organization which plans the school ' s activities, making possible a successful functioning of events throughout the year. This year the Student Council offered the suggestion of class dues which the classes adopted favorably. They were also instrumental in getting new uniforms for the cheerleaders. The Student Council supervised the Freshman Reception, the Christ- mas Party, and the School Picnic. Everyone looks forward to these activities with much enthusiasm.

The amusing three-act comedy concerning the awkwardness and shyness of Little Tommy Tucker, strongly portrayed by Alan Gould, leads to many complications as Miriam Bradley proposes a few high-flying ideas.

The Black and Orange of S.H.S. showed a great improvement this year in it ' s basketball season under the guiding hand of Lawrence Healey. The team maintained the best in opposition which definitely was a bright spot in the games played. From the standpoint of pleas- ure, school interest, and school spirit, it was a successful season. At graduation we will lose Don Orcutt, Lewie Rote, both guards and our efficient managers, Alan Gould and Russell Upton. We wish to thank the townspeople and students ' for giving the team unending support.
