How often you ' ve heard these words said about your High School Days. Right now, most of you are ready to agree with them too, but should you? Let ' s look back and see what justification there may be for the statement. No one could say that they haven ' t been happy years - and profitable ones too. There have been countless evenings of fun at dances, basketball games, and parties throughout all your High School years. Then, there have been those special joys re- served for Seniors: the class play, the fun of working together on the yearbook, the fash- ion show and the class trip and, of course, that supreme, final joy of receiving your diploma. You ' ve made new and lasting friendships. Much of the happiness you ' ve derived from these years ' events was due to the association with these friends. You ' ve made these friends, however, by learning co-operation and sportsmanship. Having learned them will help to make all the rest of your life happy. All these things have certainly contributed to make your High School days happy ones, but can you say the HAPPIEST ones of your whole life? Let ' s stop a minute and consider here the meaning of the word commencement. The common synonym is beginning. Yes - with commencement the really important part of your life is just beginning: The years in which you will make your contribution, whether big or small, to society; fulfill your responsibilities as adult citizens, and carry out your plans for your life. There lies ahead of you a whole, vast realm of un- tasted joys. That supreme happiness to be found in doing what you felt is worth while with your life, still awaits you in the future. It is good to look back and occasionally mentally relive your Happy High School Days, but who can say that days just as happy, or far happier, do not lie just ahead? It is good to look back, but don ' t forget to look forward. I should like to offer my sincerest good wishes to each Senior for luck and happiness in his or her looking forward. Mary E. Harrahy dedication Because you deny yourself so that we may have that which you did not have; Because you desire for us the higher and finer things in life; Because you understand when all our world goes wrong; Because you love us in spite of our shortcomings; and because we want to express our love and appreciation, we the graduating class of Sheffield High School, dedicate this yearbook, THE SENTINEL PINES, to you Our Parents.

Malotte Glee Club Benediction Reverend Walter Boardman Wright Postlude (Audience remain seated) Zke Secret of Success All of us born into the world have an individual standard by which we consciously or unconsciously measure and shape every action of our lives. These actions have one goal — success. With many in this commercial world the question is, Will it make us rich? or in other words, Will it pay us in dollars and cents? With others this consideration has little weight, but the all important criterion is, Will it help us to be useful members of society? How can we best achieve that goal and can we succeed in achieving it? Undoubtedly, most of us as we stand at the threshold of a broader life and embark on our first voyage away from home are thinking in terms of all of these questions and are wondering wherein lies the secret of success and what makes it so difficult to attain. All of us graduating here tonight are young, with the greater part of our lives be- fore us. Oui choice of a goal has been difficult to decide upon, but no matter what that goal maybe, we will find the path leading to its achievement filled with many hard- ships. Wiser and more experienced people tell us that, and from our own oberservation, we can hardly expect to avoid them. Many things will arise to tempt us from the path we have chosen. The hardships will discourage us, there will be many pleasures we would like to experience and many enjoyable diversions to attract us. Then is the time we will have to exert all our will- power and ask ourselves, Will these things help us on our way to the goal we mean to reach? Of course, this is no easy task. If success in any undertaking were easy, there would be nothing to spur us to our best efforts. If there were no difficulties to be con- fronted, life would hold little challenge for any of us. For the higher the way is we climb, the more satisfaction there is in persevering to the end, and the richer the re- ward at the goal we seek. Let us not then, be discouraged and falter on our way, but keep our thought for- ever on our goal. Remember the secret of success is constancy to purpose. Oh, pause not, then -nor falter, For Fate is in your hand; Climb ever, -onward, -upward, To where your feet would stand; The rocks are rough and rugged, But victory is sublime; Step bravely, boldy, forward, And climb, and climb, and climb! Phyllis Armstrong A Democratic Education Promotes Peace Tonight as we are assembled in this hall our thoughts are focused on the graduating class and we the members of the graduating class are filled with pride to think that we have completed our high school education. But - - what does this prove? What does it mean? What have we achieved? The answer to these questions is not hard nor is it com- plicated! The primary purpose of our education has been to promote freedom by pre- paring us to take our places in this great democratic system. We have learned to prac- tice and respect our rights and liberties as American citizens, we have learned the ne- cessity of cooperation among all men, we have gained the ability to accept criticism and, last of all, we know that in all aspects the american way of life is tied in with education. In the years following we will take our places in some individual field in this com- plicated and highly technical world for which we have been prepared. Whether we take our positions in the fields of scientific research and endeavor, in the varied phases of agriculture, or bend our backs under the stress and strain of hard labor, our basic tools have been influenced by a desire for freedom, peace and a respect for the democratic standards of living. We, united by these ideals, will be capable of forming a future na- tion which will be strong, secure and prepared to act against agressors with ideas con- trary to our beliefs. We may now start out upon the greatest achievement of our lives, the maitenance of peace on earth and good will towards men. Ann Macy Valedictory M ss Parents, Faculty, Classmates, Friends: Tonight it is my privilege on behalf of my classmates to bid you farewell. It would be an interesting experiment if, on this stage, we could erect a magic telescope whose powers could penetrate time and space. Pretend that you, the audience, have the power to turn the telescope backwards and view the past four happy years. There in 1948, you see a group of young, eager students entering Sheffield High School. Nine of these students are on this stage tonight. With the unfailing help of parents and faculty throughout the four years you see the constant mental and spiritual growth of our class. We have tried to do our best with high purpose but there are countless things we have learned through experience. In our studies we have had basic courses such as English, History, and Mathematics which better prepared us to take our places in an adult world. The very important study of civics and current events has instilled in us the importance of being loyal, concientious citizens. On the lighter side, extra curricular activities have been an invaluable part of the training of the group. In music groups we have learned the appreciation of music, and the need for har- mony and co-operation. Newspaper work has. given the ability to plan, and organize, and has furnished some experience in creative writing. Through our class activities, we have learned to work and build together toward a common goal. This goal is the class trip, an experience which every student at Sheffield anticipates and values so highly. Perhaps sports have been one of the most vital factors in our training. Sportsmanship and teamwork have taught us to meet victory and defeat with the same spirit. Now we are up to the present time. Graduation is here and we are standing on the threshold of our lives. Let us rotate our magic telescope from the past to the future. We foresee each class- mate in his own way trying to live up to our class motto: Too low they build who build beneath the stars. Our magic telescope shows just how distant the stars are. We know that the only way to do our part is to reach for these stars and even beyond. The stars represent our goal, a life of high ideals, honesty and unselfish devotion to duty. It is our hope that each classmate build his way to the stars as a teacher, nurse, soldier, scientest or whatever vocation he may choose. Those of us who plan to become nurses should sincerely have the desire to help and heal people. Those who will be teachers must do their best to help young people develop into happy, well- adjusted adults. We have studied the lives of many worthy men who have lived by high ideals and success- fully reached their goals. Let their example inspire each and every one of us to our goal. At this time, we wish to express our heartfelt appreciation to our faculty, parents, and friends who have done so much to guide us through the years. We thank each one of you for help- ing us to start toward our destination -- the stars. Welcome Address As President of the Senior Class it is my privilege to welcome each and everyone of you to these, our Class Night Exercises. In welcoming you I would like also to thank you for making our scholastic journey less difficult and more enjoyable. To the teachers we are greatly indebted for their excellent guidance and unceasing help at all times. To parents, friends, and townspeople we are deeply thankful for their warm support and encouragement at all our extra curricular activities. To all members of the underclasses we are thankful for their friendship and co-op- eration and we sincerely hope that their four years of high school will be as profitable and happy as ours have been. Again I thank you and bid you the heartiest of welcomes. CLASS NIGHT PROGRAM Address of Welcome Leslie R. Gibbs What a Lovely Day - R.

Weill Glee Club Senior Celebrities Donald Holcomb and Shears Boardman Alma Mater ( Audience standing ) Everyone = DC Class History In September of 1949, a large group was on hand to get an early start in the con- struction of Our House of Learning. Those helping to lay the foundation were: Phyllis Armstrong, Phyllis Bradley, Ber- tha Ball, Loretta Castell, Helen Curtis, Kathleen Curtiss, Jane Franklin, Leslie Gibbs, Carole Gilligan, Ann Hurlburt, Ann Macy, Kathleen Nott, June Pixley, Lois Winters, Rubena Young, Betty Stevens, Shears Boardman, Donald Holcomb, Herbert Eichstedt, Richard Gibbs, Laurence Ball, Arthur Hewins, Peter Ohler, Bradley Stewart, and John Cook. Those guiding us were Contractor Hennigar, and his assistants, Rita Hannigan, Theodore Williams, Nicholas Morace, and Laurence Healy. We were progressing steadily when three masons, Laurence Ball, Peter Ohler, and Arthur Hewins, joined new construction jobs. Busily putting up the framwork, our first year sped by. After two months of vacation, the carpenters returned, eager to start work again on Our House of Learning. Foreman Provencher was now among us as Foreman Han- nigan had been assigned a new contract. Laborers, Herbert Eichstedt and Richard Gibbs were building elsewhere. As soon as the siding was completed, carpenters, Loretta Castell, Helen Curtiss, June Pixley, and Lois Winters left us and went their separate ways. Foreman Provencher, contracted for building a new home, was replaced by Albert Trocchi who proved to be a big help to us. The building of this edifice temporarily halted in May when we were deeply grieved at the loss of our dear friend, Theodore Williams. Mrs. Marie Walker soon joined us to help complete the roofing. June came and, with the completion of the siding and roofing, we stopped for a well-earned two month ' s rest. In September, 1951, we returned refreshed and anxious to get on with the work of wallboards, wood trim, insulating and plastering. In the third year Miss Marie Walker and Thomas Norton filled the positions left open by Mrs. Marie Walker and Laurence Healey. Not long after we had begun, two apprentices, John Cook, and Bradley Stewart left us and went into other fields of work. Another, Carole Gilligan, left to join a dif- ferent union. Feeling the loss of our many laborers, each of us worked harder in order to accom- plish our building on time. In February we were shocked and saddened at the untimely death of our dear friend and co-worker, Bertha Ball. She is greatly missed. Solemnly, the eleven of us remaining worked on until June when the inside work was completed. Once again it was time for a vacation. In September of 1952 we found that two of our co-workers, Jane Franklin and Kathleen Curtiss did not report to work. Those reporting were: Interior Decorators - Phyllis Armstrong, Phyllis Bradley, Leslie Gibbs, Ann Hurl- burt, Ann Macy, Betty Stevens, Rubena Young; General Handymen - Shears Boardman and Donald Holcomb. Two new masters had joined us to replace Foremen Odiorne and Morace, whose leaving we deeply felt. Our new supervisors, Jayne Ryan and Mary Harrahy proved to be valuable leaders and warm friends. Our fourth and last year of finishing touches flew by and Our House of Learning was soon completed. In June, we stood back and proudly gazed upon our accomplishment. These past four years had been memorable ones for us, full of hard work and a gained sense of ac- complishment. We greatly appreciate the guidance and help we have received. On leaving Our House of Learning, we sincerely hope that with the skill, know- ledge, training, and friendship acquired in these past four years of apprenticeship we are now capable of being good builders in a better world. Class Prophecy 195S Time: June 20, 1963 Place: Sheraton Hotel, Pittsfield, Massachusetts Occasion: Class Reunion It was a warm June evening and there was a hint of festivity in the air. At the Shera- ton Hotel, the members of the Class of ' 53 were arriving to celebrate their first Class Reunion since graduating from S. H. S. ten years before. Excitedly they greeted one an- other and conversations renewed cherished memories. Many laughs were enjoyed while talking over happenings of their school days. The span of years had changed these nine people in appearance but the spirits and personalities had remained warm and friendly. During dinner, conversation continued and incidents that seemed to have been for- gotten were d iscovered to hold a place in the heart of each. After enjoying an unsurpassed dinner, it was time for these classmates to reluctantly bid farewell to one another. It had been a delightful evening that would remain long in the thoughts of each. Only two remain Phyllis Bradley and Leslie Gibbs P.B. You know, Leslie, in a way I ' m glad 1 live in California - it gives me an ex- cellent excuse for staying over night. I couldn ' t possibly have gotten a plane out tonight. L. G. So am I, Phyl - now we really have a chance to talk over old times. Aren ' t you rather suprised at the way things turned for everyone? P.B. Surprised, but pleased. How fortunate ANN MACY was to secure a job as top model in the Powers Agency. L. G. Yes. . .I ' m glad for her. She always did have the right qualities. . .remember how well she did in our class Fashion Shows? P. B. Yei. . . we surely worked hard to make those Fashion Shows a success, but it was always worth the effort. L. G. A great deal of credit, though, goes to the many parents and friends whose help was Invaluable. P.B. Speaking of Claw events. . .remember our play - He Couldn ' t Marry Five? I never dreamed RUBENA YOUNG would take her role as a ballerina seriously and become a ballet dancer in New York City. L.G. Neither did I, but she ' s made quite a name for herself in that field and if still rising. And BETTY STEVENS too. . .she was the nurse in our play. Bet makes a good nurse - she was always so sweet and patient. P.B. Her job as head of the Children ' s Clinic in Providence is ideal for her. Of the four of us who wanted to become nurses, only Betty and ANN HURLBURT went into training. L. G. That ' s right. . .Ann is supervisor at Johns Hopkins Memorial Hospital in Baltimore, isn ' t she? P.B. Yes, and she ' s very well liked there. But Les, can you imagine SHEARS BOARD- MAN, our Class Blusher, married, with a family and owner of one of the most prosperous dairy farms in Berkshire County? L.G. Shears always WAS the home-loving type. . .but DON HOLCOMB is the one who suprised me! Imagine. . .proud owner of one of the most patronized night clubs in New York. P. B. Have you met his wife? A lovely person. . . she was Miss America of 1955. . . and they have twin sons. L.G. Oh, how nice! By the way, PHYLLIS ARMSTRONG seems very enthusiastic about her job as Athletic Director in the new Regional School at Sheffield. She ' s man- aged several championship teams. P.B. Incidentally, Les, where are you teaching now? L. G. Oh, both my husband and I are teaching at Hennigar ' s School for Higher Learning in Alaska. P. B. You ' re as far from home as I am ! L.G. Yes. What are you doing in sunny California, Phyl? P. B. I own a Beauty Salon which services many movie stars, but most of my time is spent at home with my two children, Leslie and William. Leslie is named after you as I promised you I would the night we wrote the Class Prophecy. L. G. Oh, how flattered I am ! I hope I can see them both soon. P.B. Yes, you must come for a visit before long. But now, it ' s getting late and we both have long trips ahead of us, so I guess we had better say Good Night. L.G. Yes. . .1 could go on for hours though, but I guess we had better postpone it un- til that visit. Good Night! Class Will PREAMBLE We, the class of 1953, solemnly sworn to be the most tempermental, downtrodden, weary, abused class ever to be parolled from SHS, do hereby declare this to be our only , will and testament made of this nature.

Graduation has come and we feel both happy and sad. Happy, because we are seniors and graduating; Sad, because we now depart, But to reunite again as tomorrows citizens; To lead and guide our America on. The key of life is now in our hands, And the world looks large for the first time We feel a loneliness come over us, But to realize we have won our victory It has been a battle of struggles, joys and hardships, But deep in our hearts we give thanks Thanks to our parents who have given us their best years, their love, and who have been our guiding light; To our teachers who have given us knowledge and understanding; And to our townspeople and friends who have given us encouragement and support in our school events. And we the class of 53 now leave you. We take with us many cherished memories. To all we bid farewell. Betty Stevens ■ CLASSES juniors Back row: Mr. Hennigar, W. Petersen, J. Buckingham, R.

Developing a defense which was one of the best in the lea- gue, they held down the high scores of the opposing teams. Even though they lost all but one league game very few were lost by large margins. They lost one game by one point and another by four points and another by five. With a remaining squad of twenty five after graduation we feel sure Mr. Trocchi will develop some successful terms in the near future.. Leaving the team this year will be Phyllis Armstrong, Leslie Gibbs, Ann Hurlburt, Ann Macy and Managers Phyllis Bradley and Rubena Young.

Front row. Peter Good- will, John Goodwill, John Adams. The Gamecock Team started the season with only these varsity lettermen: Captain, Jimmy Larkin, Frank Smith, Francis Zucco. Rounding out the varsity squad were two newcomers, Don Holcomb and Duke Donsbough, with Peter Goodwill from the 1952 J. V. team. Varsity seeing action in varsity games were K. Coon, W. Petersen, J. Adams, F. Bernoi, T. Somes, J. Hurlburt, P. Ball, J. Goodwill, D. Emprimo, J. Candee. The Managers were Shears Boardman and Dick Howden. The greatest handicaps were the lack of experience and height, the team averaging only 5 ' 6 These were more than overcome by exceptional rebounding ability, good passing and teamwork and an indomitable team spirit. The Gamecocks did not compete in the Southern Berkshire League this season an 18 game independent schedule was played. The early season record was poor, but during the last half of the year, victories were recorded over the Alumni, Berkshire Industrial and a stirring upset over our rival, New Marlboro, Keys ' pc«tc n Varsity basketball Back row: Mr. Norton, David Emprimo, Philip Ball, John Goodwill, Wesley Peterson, Timothy Somes, Francis Bernoi, Eddie Eichstedt, John Adams, Dick Howden.

Most of these boys saw a good deal of varsity action, besides JV play. The team showed a great deal of team ability and several fine shooters. The ex- perience gained in JV games is excellent training for future varsity play. The season opened with 27-16 victory over Amenia. This was followed by several exciting contests including a victory over Berkshire Industrial School ' s J.V. ' s. The team roster included Wesley Peterson, Kenneth Coon, John Goodwill, John Adams, Timothy Somes, Francis Bernoi, Joe Hurlburt, Steve Macchi, Phil Ball, Dave Emprimo, Joe Candee, Eddie Eichstedt, Teddy Somes, Ted Weininger, Tom Kradel, and Ed Delmolino.

Front row: Joe Candee, John Adams, Eddie Eichstedt, Pete Goodwill, Francis Zucco, Philip Boardman, Steve Macchi, John Coon, David Emprimo. Fielding for the most part an experienced team, Sheffield High played both inter- esting and heads-up baseball the past season. The lineup for the better part of the season showed Francis Zucco behind the plate for his second year and as battery mate Kenneth Coon also in for the second year. At first base, filling that position for his first full year was Frank Smith. Covering second for his third year was Steve Macchi. Steve ' s partner around the keystone sack was Dave Emprimo, and Pete Goodwill at third rounded out the infield. A veteran outfield com- posed of John Conn, Donald Holcomb, and Wesley Petersen filled the three outfield positions quite capably. Backing these men up were, John Goodwill taking an occasion- al fling at the initial sack, and John Adams and Duke Donsbough in the infield. Tim Somes, Eddie Eichstedt, and Philip Goardman rounded out the team. At Graduation the team lost only one member, centerfield Donald Holcomb. Cheer Ceaders From top to S: Sandra Pinkney, Ann Macy, Sara Woodbeck, Beatrice Swan, Carolyn Woodbeck, Betty Gibbs, Miss Harrahy, Carol Olsen, Dora Warren, Phyllis Bradley, Rubena Young. As in past years, the cheerleaders had a very successful season under the capable coaching of Miss Harrahy. Sometimes the crowd at the basketball games was small, but the cheerleaders were always full of pep and enthusiasm, leading the cheers for our boys ' team. £A ■ ■ «tl « wzm ■ Pu-M ■ . : i : ' ■ r i H Student Council Back row: Timothy Somes, James Larkin, Donald Holcomb.

At the first meeting of the Student Council Leslie Gibbs was elected President, and Sara Woodbeck, Secretary -Treasurer. Again this year the Student Council sponsored the Freshmen Reception, Christmas Party and School Picnic. In October several members of our Student Council attended a meeting of the Western Massachusetts Association of Student Councils. Here we learned of the activi- ties and responsibilities of different schools. Although we have not been as active in school government as the student councils in some neighboring schools perhaps in the following years it will be possible.

At the first meeting the following officers were elected: President Janet Olsen Vice President Jill Olsen Secretary Zoe Card Treasurer Thomas Macy The Junior Red Cross Council consists of two representatives from grades, three through eight. There are sixteen members, advised and headed by Mrs. Gladys Rora- back. Meetings are held three times a month to discuss favors to be made for holidays and gifts. The Junior Red Cross started in September to try to bring happiness to the less for- tunate by making favors for the Leed ' s Veterans ' Hospital. At Christmas time favors were made for the Fairview Hospital in addition to the fifty regular ones. Sixteen gift boxes were filled for European countries. Besides Sheffield Center School, the Boardman Street School and Ashley Falls par- ticipate in this work. In November the membership drive was very successful with prac- tically 100 7o subscribing for Junior Red Cross in each class. 11tci,jo iette4 Back row. J. Clark, R. Clark, B. Penziner. Front row. J.

Although the orchestra was small, with excel- lent leadership much progress was made toward co-operation in playing. % uut W ' Mfaftnettet The band members were very enthusiatic about such big events as the Western Massachusetts Music Festival, and Memorial Day parade. Amid colorful uniforms, high steppers, and brilliant playing, a good time was had by all, including Conductor Bar- rette. New, more difficult marches and the classy majorettes made our band spectacu- lar at these events.

Although there were no boys who sang in the glee club, the girls did a nice job in harmony for three parts. Selections were sung at the Christmas concert, Annual Spring Concert, Class Night and Graduation. Zke Pine Cone EDITORIAL STAFF: Back row: Leslie Gibbs, Frank Smith. Front row: Miss Ryan, Laura Malnati, Ann Hurlburt, Margaret Preiss, Alice Straleau. Around the tenth of every month, the students at S. H. S. eagerly await the sale of the Pine Cone, our school newspaper. The Pine Cone gives great pride to those who work so diligently to publish it. A great deal of work is put in the paper, as some of the students do not realize. The deadline for articles is usually around the twentieth of the month preceding that of publication. Articles come in to the co-editors who rewrite and correct them where necessary. The advisor then censors all articles. The next big step is the typing of the articles for the dummy. On the following weekend the co-editors set up the dummy in approximately eight hours. Then comes the painstaking work, cutting stencils. On the Saturday before the sale of the newspaper, the production staff assembles dressed in the oldest clothes possible. All sorts of good things to eat and a radio help make the long day a pleasant one. The girls have a system; one runs the mimeograph machine, another slip -sheets fresh copy, another sorts good copies from the bad, and anyone left cuts stencils needed at the last minute. It ' s a hectic time, but what fun! In the middle of the process, Room 4 looks as though it had been hit by a tornado. This year the Pine Cone had a great many improvements. A few are; more feature articles, short stories, poems, beautiful white paper to print it on, and perfect right margins. One very attractive feature is the colored illustrations in either red, green, or blue. The Pine Cone is an organization of which S. H. S. certainly can be proud.

After weeks of hard work, the big nights arrived. Our prompters, Sara Woodbeck and Margaret Preiss gave the cast moral support. The play was a huge success. Director Miss Mary Harrahy did a terrific job casting and directing the play. Demure LESLIE GIBBS appeared in the part of the flighty mother, Connie. TIMO- THY SOMES held his own as the henpecked father, Ralph Barton. Peppy LAURA MAL- NATI changed pace entirely to do a superb job portraying slow, old Grannie. PHYLLIS BRADLEY put on a terrific show as the snobbish eldest sister, April, who was going to be a great actress. May, the ballet -inspired sister was played by RUBENA YOUNG who step- ped trickily throughout the three acts. Taris, always sweet and helpful, was a perfect part for BETTY STEVENS. ANN MACY took up painting in the role of June, who was the sarcastic sister. Cute PHYLLIS ARMSTRONG did a wonderful job as the spoiled sis- ter, Leona who was a tomboy. Donald Regan, the nervous young man who had all the listers fighting over hi« affection, was played by HORACE TATSAPAUGH. ANN HURL- BURT made the crowd roar with laughter at her antics as the stiff, old maid, Aunt Etta.
