Superintendent ' s Message TO THE CLASS OF 55 Congratulations. I say this because you have demonstrated a splendid spirit of interest and cooperation during this period of change to the regional sys- tem. As the transition class you have had to meet and deal with many of the problems, but are denied the joy, thrill, and privilege of moving into the new building and enjoying the many fine facilities and advan- tages. For years you have looked forward to the new school with its modern crafts, laboratories, and classrooms only to have the realization come one year too late. In spite of all this, you have transferred your alle- giance to the new system, you have joined whole heartedly with the members of the faculty from both schools without question. The continued growth and prosperity of your com- munities, State, and Nation are assured when our young people demonstrate such qualities of character. With every wish for your success and happiness. John Somes Superintendent of Schools Mount Everett Regional School In making up this Yearbook of the activities of the school for the year 1955 it seems in order to mention the new school. In the Regional District School plan we have a new concept in approach to the problems of local education that has attracted the attention of practically every community in Massachusetts. It provides a way for small communities to acquire facilities equal to the larger towns and cities and still build and operate within their means. The Southern Berkshire Regional District, being about the fourth such district in Massachusetts to reach the building stage, and the first in the state to establish a twelve grade district is thereby making history in this respect. In 1953 the Regional Planning Board, with the backing of our citizens, established the rules and conditions governing the operation of the district. In 1954 the elected Regional Committee and their chosen architect, Warren Ashley of West Hartford, Conn, with help and advice obtained from many sources, established the site and the physical details of the Mount Everett School Building. If the schedule of construction proceeds as expected, the new school building will be ready for occupancy in the fall of 1955 under the supervision of John Somes, with most of the present faculty with some additional teachers. The Committee members have put their best efforts into the planning and detail of the new building, that it may have most of the essential things in it that make up a good economical, modern school building. Upon completion of this school, the com- munity of Towns will have completed one of the most important steps in their history. The Committee has great faith and hopes in this project and know that it will warrant the great pride and satisfaction of the citizens of the community. Untiring effort must be maintained by everyone concerned for the successful operation of the district. The operation will be watched by many other communities, so let ' s make it good. I know that we can depend upon the interest and co-operation of the student body to help to make Mount Everett School an institution to be proud of. We depend on you. Congratulations to the members of the graduating class of 1955. May they attain happiness, success, and the good things in life. Charles M.

Mielke Guidance Director Polly Hall Principal ' s Sec. Mary Wallace Supt. Sec. Fernand Barrette Music Director Fort Lee, Virginia Sheffield, Massachusetts Dear Class of 1955: Even though you are many miles and nearly a year away, thoughts of my adopted Berkshire home seem to diminish both time and distance. Why do I say adopted home? Among the reasons is that you, the Class of 1955, helped to make it my home. With wholehearted sincerity I feel the three years of being your advisor, teacher and friend were the fullest, and the most gratifying I have known. When you have left Sheffield High School as alumni, and alumnae you are to become citizens of your community. There are a few simple and basic things to remember. Always strive to do your best. Always be yourself; do your own reasoning, being ready to lead or follow as the situation demands. Remember, always live by the Golden Rule which is so essential to our democratic life. Above all, remember Him that enables us to have this education, this nation, and our free way of life. In closing I send you heartfelt wishes that you will achieve success in your endeavors, happiness in life, and have pleasant memories of your years as students in Sheffield High School. I also want to thank you for the honor of a place in this, your yearbook. f Sincerely yours, Thomas K. Norton, Jr. Bus Drivers Cafeteria Staff MRS. MOSELEY MRS. BACHETTI MRS.

[Twe G £ATwr Maw On Eartm i ; Seeing this sign, the chief reporter of the local newspaper said to himself. I must interview the owner of this show and learn what it is and who is in it. With that he started off, whistling gaily, on this bright morning in June. He met the owner, Mr. Friis, who told him he had been the owner for two years. It seemed that the former owner, Mr. Hennigar, had started the show four years before. He had taken inexperienced people with the idea of training them to be acrobats. The training period had finally been started in the fall of 1951. Twenty people started out. The ones on the trapeze were Ruth Clark, Bernice Fenziner, Barbara Rice, Rebekah Somes, John Adams, Francis Bernoi, Sidney Eichstedt, James Larkin, Timothy Somes and William Davis. Their trainer was Miss Walker, who later married and became Mrs. Odiorne. The ones who were training to be tight rope walkers were Priscilla Hewins, Pamela Pinkney, Dorothy Candee, Ann Curtiss, Leno Bernoi, John Coons, Fred Franklin, Joe Hurlburt, John Trierweiler and Donald Hart. Their trainer was Mr. Morac e and a good one he was, too. Mr. Friis said that under his direction he had his manager, Mr. Trocchi, who saw that all orders were carried out and everything was running smoothly. In order to see how they were coming along, occasionally theyput on free shows for the people. Mr. Norton, the ringmaster, officiated on these occasions and hoped to be able to officiate on the night that they finally put the show on. Progress was rapid for sixteen of them, that first year, and in the fall there were the original sixteen with two new acrobats, who thought perhaps they ' d try their hand at it. The ones on the trapeze were Ruth Clark, Bernice Fenziner, Barbara Rice, Rebekah Somes, John Adams, Francis Bernoi, Sidney Eichstedt, James Larkin, and Timothy Somes. Bill Davis had dropped out to attempt some- thing else. The trainer, Mrs. Odiorne, had left to lead a family life; and Miss Harrahy had come in her place. The ones who were on the tight rope routine were Priscilla Hewins, Dorothy Candee, Ann Curtiss, Leno Bernoi, John Coons, Joe Hurlburt, Donald Hart, and Duke Donsbough. Mr. Morace had left to be a trainer in another show, and Miss Ryan took his place. Pamela Pinkney, Fred Franklin, John Trierweiler had all left for new fields. Near the end of that year, though , they had gained a well- trained tight rope walker in Juanita Jackson. That second year hadn ' t progressed fast enough for Mr. Hennigar, and he had sold the show to the present owner, Mr. Friis. Miss Harrahy left them to gain further knowledge and was replaced by Miss Poulus in their third year. Some of them were getting terribly discouraged. Here they were starting their third year of training, and they didn ' t seem any nearer the finish than before. Joan Golden, Dorothy Candee, Ann Curtiss and Duke Donsbough gave up and left to do something else. Their numbers were filled out, though , by two new additions to the tight rope routine — Carol Bennett and Bill Preston. The third year of training seemed to go along very well. The acrobats were becoming better and better. In the fall of 1954 the acrobats again congregated and discovered many changes. Mr. Norton, their ringmaster, had been taken by the army, and Mr. Thiel was the new ringmaster. Miss Poulus had returned to her parents ' home land, and Mrs. Rhoades had become the new trapeze trainer. Miss Ryan had married during the summer and had come back as Mrs. Armstrong. Joe Hurlburt, one of the tight rope walkers, had left for another show. He was continually falling off the rope, and so he went where there weren ' t girls to distract him. The acrobats trained hard during the year, and they were now about ready to put on their show. The reporter thanked Mr. Friis for the fine story he had given him and left. He watched the tents being put up and then decided to come to the show later in the week. JUNE 17, the night of the show, was as mild and as beautiful a night as you could wish. The tent was packed with people. Before the show the reporter went behind the scenes to meet everyone. MR. FRIIS, the owner, gave him a cheery hello and introduced him to everyone. He met MR. TROCCHI, the manager, who was the only one who had stayed with the show all four years. MR. THIEL, the ringmaster, gave him a good handshake. MRS. ARMSTRONG and MRS. RHOADES, the two trainers, were obviously very proud of their acrobats. The ones who did the trapeze act were: Ruth Clark, Bermce Penzfner Barbara Rice, Rebekah Somes, John Adams, Francis Bernoi, Sidney Eichstedt, James Larkin and Timothy Somes. The tight rope walkers were equally eager to meet him. They were: Priscilla Hewins, Juanita Jackson, Carol Bennett, Leno Bernoi, John Coons, Donald Hart and Bill Preston. He went back out and took his seat. The show began at 8:00 P.M. When it was finished, the applause was long and loud. There was no doubt in anyone ' s mind, this was The Greatest Show on Earth.

Here, Adams, you work on this hole. Me? Yes, you! After all you got us into this jail by fastening Mr. Friis to the flagpole the night before graduation. I thought it was a dummy and pulled it up to the top. But they never would have thought anything about that if you hadn ' t pushed Mr. Thiel off the top of The Empire State Building during our class trip. Listen, you thought of the idea. Turn on the radio. Okay! (Click) (Hummmmmmmmmmmmm)( The last few notes of a high screechy voice roar into the cell. ) That, audience, was that GREAT soprano Carol Bennett.

From Hollywood comes the news that the star of Gone With the Breeze , Bernice Taylor Penzi- ner, is about to marry for the fifth time. This time it will be the popular crooner, Terry Hobo. The news behind the news tonight is from Skunk Hollow, The Kentucky Hills. Seems a lady by the name of Mrs. Priscilla Hewins just had her sixth set of quadruplets.
