Gateway IQLL3 Published by the Class of I943 South Hadley High School FOREWORD XNZE have tried to gather in this little book some treasurers of the past and some memories for the future. The Editor To Miss Hilda Fleming whose interest in our class has made this book possible and our school lives happier, we affectionately dedicate this book. Mary H. Fleming RTIGN Contents FACULTY CLASSES ORGANIZATIONS SOCIAL ATI-ILETICS ADVERTISEMENTS if up-f Miss Maybelle Pratt Dean of Girls Mr. Daniel J. Connor Vice Principal FACU LTY Principal s Message TO many of you, life just ahead may appear to hold little more than hardship, sacrifice and the frustration of cherished plans. Probably it is true that as long as the war lasts there will be much to be endured. That is part of the process of creating a new and better world. But such a world will not result from merely gritting our teeth, tightening our belts and resolving some- how to see the thing through. First, you must get all the education you can. Even the men at Guadalcanal and the Solomons are pouring over textbooks in tents and tin huts. Our soldiers, sailors and marines are enrolling in Army Institute courses at the rate of one thousand a week. They and you cannot afford to enter the post-war period uninformed and half-educated unless you are willing to fumble the peace even though previously the war was won. All the way through life you must keep mentally alert to social problems and social issues. Only in that way can your generation make victory the prelude to intelligent world reconstruction. An- other responsibility you have is deliberately to adopt an unselfish attitude toward life. Eventually, you will have great opportunities for personal success. But personal success can be of only secondary importance. Your primary purpose should be usefulness to the community. Devotion to the highest ideals of character and citizenship will be needed to complete the task of rebuilding our world. Resolve now to live importantly. Give the best you have to the tasks ahead.

Seaman Ist Class Wesley Charles Belaire Seaman 1st Class Wesley Charles Belaire, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. John U. Belaire, 99 Washing- ton Avenue, South Hadley Falls, died of wounds received in action in the Pacific area, according to a telegram received by his family, December 31, 1942. He enlisted in the Navy, November 4, 1941. He attended the Woodlawn grammar school and the South Hadley high school where he was active in football and in horseback riding groups. He was assistant patrol leader of Boy Scout Troop 303 and was employed as assistant manager of the show department at McAuslan and Wakelin's in Holyoke. His classmates paid this glowing tribute to him To one fine American lad who gave his life that he might save thousands of American lads back home. A most likeable youth, loved by all who knew him, he always had a cheerful word and a happy smile. He fought for democracy, gave his life for Old Glory, for freedom of America. We shall never forget the wound he has made in our hearts through his departure. He died a glorious death. He died a hero, an American hero. He shall never be forgotten in all our prayers. We salute our flag on the Town Hall lawn. It Hies at half staff for one week in respect to his memory. Wesley Belaire was the first young man of South Hadley Falls to give his life in action in World War II.

We know at what age the boys of foreign countries are being called from school to join the armed forces and therefore, we realize how fortunate we have been in being able to complete our high school educa- tion. We wish to express our appreciation and thanks for the unfaltering guidance of our parents and teachers and for the new courses of study in the high school, which will help to prepare us for our immediate future. We also realize that we will be the leaders of tomorrow, and as the leaders, there will be many serious post-war problems with which to deal. We earnestly hope we will be able to cope with these problems in the manner you expect of us. Class History WHOA - Dobbin I Hello, there, Beverly, want a ride overto Holyoke, or aren't you going my way? Gee, this is wonderful I If you hadn't come along, I would have had to wait for a bus, which probably would be too crowded anyway. I saw in the paper that you and several of our class- mates are leaving for the service. Everytime I hear of one of our classmates leaving for the armed service I think of Wesley Belaire, who was the first one in our class to give his life for our country. And our class certainly had its ups and downs, now we think back. Didn't we feel bad when Miss Fleming informed us at the end of our Sophomore year, that she could no longer be our class adviser, because of the other duties she had ? And again at the beginning of our senior year, we round ourselves without an adviser, due to the fact that Mr. Bosworth joined the ski troops. Miss Fleming found it hard to say no to our class when we gave such an enthusiastic vote for her to return as our faculty adviser. Speaking of school memories, the incident that stands out most in my mind is our Freshman Reception. I can just picture myself with my knees shaking, and my voice cracking, asking a girl to dance. Remember how we annoyed the class treasurer ask- ing him just when our rings would arrive? They certainly are worth bragging about! Weren't we amazed when we found out in our junior year that we hadn't chosen our class flower and colors. I'm glad that we did wait. We might not have chosen such good ones in our Freshman year. Remember when we were sophomores how rich we felt when we made our first money on the Senior Fare- well? That's when we began rolling in money. We gave that in the spring and the next fall, in our Junior year we welcomed the Freshmen with a grand reception. Wasn't that the same year that we gave a Va1entine's dance? Yes, but it wasn't until our senior year that we real- ized we hadn't enough money in our treasury to sponsor a yearbook. Boy! did the underclassmen watch our dust then I Our senior year started off with a bang with a successful prom resulting with more money in our treasury. - Speaking of money, reminds me of that odd amount of money, 389.90 which we gained from that breath- taking senior play. During the months of January and February it seems as though I went to our roller skating parties every Friday night. These roller skating parties are so vivid in my memory because of the way I fell forward and backward and people seemed to push me from all sides. None of us will forget our physical education pro- gram, which started in our senior year. Most of the girls were completely exhaused after an hour each week. Speaking of physical ed, reminds me of the riot it caused. The boys showed their objection to slacks by rolling up their left trouser leg. Imagine boys objecting to the girls wearing slacks. But the girls liked it, just the same, I mean the objection and after a rebellious outburst in the form of the girls wearing suit coats and ties, the slack fad died out the girls only wore them the days of gym class. It can't be said that our class was not all out for the war effort. In addition to our regular class activities, the defense booth and victory corps certainly took up a great deal of our time. I can remember when the bell would sound for an air raid practice. You could see some people going out, and others going down to the lower halls, neither know- ing which was right. It certainly did cause a great deal of confusion, the first time, but after a while, we got it down pat. How lonely it was when some seniors left the first of April for positions and others in May, remember? I miss the teachers, don't you? And the little under- classmen? I wish we could start all over again, but then we aren't the only ones who would like to turn back the clock. I hope we all make out the way they expect us to. You can leave me off here, Rus. It certainly was nice going over old times.

Since the Futurama is still a military secret in many of its characteristics, the reader will have to be contented with the explanation that the writers obtained the following pictures of the future by merely dialing names. No sound comes over the Futurama butwe find ourselves looking at an operating room. George Doll, attired in doctor's white, with his long black hair distinguishing him from the other doctors, is operating on the twentieth century novelist, Mr. Henry Hanson. We recognize several of the nurses in the room. At the doctor's right, Jeannette Guinard is giving the anes- thetic. In the corner, Nurse Thelma Germain is- sterilizing implements. Mary Rosinski hands the doctor a scapel. Nurse Ruth Glackner is just leaving the oper- ating room with a chart in her hand. We follow her into the reception room, where we see a nurse busily checking appointments. As she turns toward a tall, distinguished looking gentleman, we realize that she is Maureen O'Connell. Upon closer scrutiny of this gentleman, worriedly stroking his goatee, we recognize him to be Francis Connor, the mechanical engineer whose picture appeared on the cover of the late issue of the Time Magazine. Another twist of the dial. A trim young lady, in a black suit, is walk- ing down a corridor. There must be something wrong with this Futurama. Oh, no ! She's going in a door marked Theodore Halkyard - Optician This lady, Rhoda Altman hands him a box of the latest style rims. As she was walking toward that office I noticed a door marked with familiar names. John L. Flanagan - Lawrence P. Legrand sole owners of the Trout Fly Company. Underneath their names were the slogans - Our flies catch the one that got away. Use our flies, save your alibis. Let's see what they're doing. The two gentlemen are dictating sales letters to their private secretaries, Alice Spafford and Claire L'Esperance. In the outer ofhce are two goodlooking young women. Gertrude Karl, special research secretary is busily working over her material. Madeleine Sullivan is filing pictures of the flies patented by the Trout Fly Comapny. That's an airplane he's standing in, isn't it? This must be one of the first flights of that new S. D. model, designed by Daniel Sobala. But what has Gaylord in his hands? By looking at the gadget on the front of the box I'd say it was a camera. It must be some new camera invention of his because, of course, he's a famed photographer. Say, doesn't that look like Virginia Smith in the hostess uniform? Let's follow her to see where she's going. Isn't she speaking to Dorothy Wolfe, who's in the pilot's seat? Since when has she been piloting passenger planes? The last I heard, she was training with Edward Mickna, the famous stunt fiier, whose partner, Joseph Barna, has just left with an expedition to New Guinea. There's another hostess that I'm sure is Marion McGuire. She's pointing to someone outside the window. Why look ! It's the famous biographer, Miss Doris Nadeau. We find Thomas O'Connor' pulling up to an impressive looking farm. Walking over to the two gentlemen who were coming towards him, he told them that he had come to inspect their farm. Puffing on his cigar, he discussed with Nelson Ingham and Roger Hill, co-partners of the Hillingham Dairy Farm, the Hillingham Process. Under an apple tree several yards away, is Mary Olive Holman sketch- ing the landscape. One-two-three-fou.r. Get those feet up higher! In the midst of the trainees we see Coach Brainard, physical trainer of the aviation cadets at Eastover Field. Farther over we can see a group of instructors gathered around a bulletin board. Instrutor Donald Matthias and Instructor Walter Prawlucki are discussing the ronometer, which they have nearly per- fected. Pilot Etienne Gaudet joins them and they talk of the success of the latest development of the ronometer which Test Pilot Paul Blackmer is trying out. High up in the sky is the test plane and a large transport is gliding in from the east. The first to step from the plane is I-Iostesses Doris Robitaille and Fem Marcotte, who are closely followed by Pilot Francis Mclnerney, noted among the pilots for his good humor. Hostess Gloria Methot and Pilot Henry Johnson, are awaiting the arrival of Navigator Ray Delisle and radio operator Edward Hindle before beginning their long flight. Mr. Arthur Perreault, proprietor of the Four Corners Inn, is welcoming some late arrivals. Among them we see Helen Zawadski, noted for the discovery of thyscombg her secretary, Irene Cody, who is always at her side, carries Miss Z's brief case. In this same group is Marguerite Fitzgerald, returning from a tour of lectures the subject of which was The Study of Gremlins from a Psychological Viewpoint. At the fireplace are Lillian Bakbs and Louise Callahan, singing entertainers, Alice Gazda, the floral arranger of the Four Corners Inn, has just joined the circle. At her right, are Yvette Gladu, linguist, and Elaine Guiel, Miss Gladu's personal secretary. In the cheery suite on the second floor, four people are present. Jean Stevenson, author of many children's books, is dictating a story to Edna Mae Howes. By the window is Joyce Miller, the illustrator, Janet Stoke is kibitzing on J ean's Story. Amid piles of finger prints, appears Alfred Popp, detective. When he rings a buzzer, Alice Delimat brings in another sheaf of records, which Betty Halkyard, filing secretary, had just given to her. Among the red leather cushions of an easy chair, sits Mr. Arthur Bemier, Manager of the Noah's Arc Animal Cracker Co.-Something seems to be bothering him. As the door opens and his secretary Helen L'Esperance, brings in a sheaf of drawings, he heaves a sigh of relief. They are the eagerly awaited sketches from Mike Illnicki. This time, Mike was try- ing to draw a griflin when he produced the OPA, which was quickly added to the list of animals to be put by two's into each box of crackers. Oh! Oh! he's in a jam, and it's not strawberry. Back to back, George Hoffman and Kenneth Wilson, radio engineers, are struggling to loosen the rope which binds their hands and feet. Leaning against the door are two other men trying to free themselves from their bonds and we recognize them to be Donald Dion and Richard Legrand. The fiend who is the cause of this can be seen sitting at the keyboard tapping out messages in code. Probably he is a German spy sending abroad some information obtained from the engineers. He's turning this way now. Why! It's Richard Moquin, otherwise known as Baltimore Brownie. Screams and loud poundings issue forth from a closet. Evidently the screams are from Rena Capistrant, a stenographer and we attribute the poundings to Harold Hazen who is now yelling, What will my wife say? But not all the pounding comes from the closet, for, with a mighty heave against the door, john Lawler, detective sergeant, lunges into the room. He grasps Baltimore Brownie by the wrist and shouts- Stick 'em up, Igot ya covered. This time ya won't get away. Then we look further and see we are at a play rehearsal of the Rotarians and Rotary Anns. While Mike Puhopek is inspecting a bolt, designed by Harold Williams, which he has just finished welding, Fred Pula, aviator, is telling him of its practical value. A few yards away is another group of Welders. It looks as though Francis Provost is giving instructions to Bernice Haber, Alice Boucher and Ruth Brunault. h Oh! What a gorgeous theatre! Look how crowded it is. I wish everyone could hear the fellow who is singing now up on the stage. It looks like-Why it is-It's Leslie Richards and in the right loge I see several people that I know. There's Nurse Muriel Dubergerg Elinor Fesko, a dieticiang Catherine Wall, a druggistg and June Lister, a secretary. What ! ! Have I been dreaming? Is this really 1943 and 1953? Well, I certainly hope my dreams come true and you all enjoy the bright future I have seen. Editor's Aside: I do hope, dear prophets, that some of these very charming girls and boys marry. There is nothing so sad as a world of bachelors!

WAR BONDS AND STAMPS ,? I Aw' V, This group was organized in March, 1942 for the purpose of selling Defense Bonds and Stamps. Under the able guidance of Mr. Foley, detailed plans were worked out with Calvin Mathais as Chairman. John Flanagan and Rosemary O'Conne1l were given charge of collections and sales in the homerooms and James Gaylord, Francis McLain and Theodore Richings had charge of the Booth. War Stamps were sold in the home- rooms and bonds at the booth. As we go to press in March of 1943, 32851.86 worth of bonds and stamps have been sold to pupils in the high school, and we are still going strong. Much of the credit for this outstand- ing success is due to the time and effort put forth by Calvin Mathais and his assistants. Thomas C. Auld Band N 1937, largely through the efforts of the superin- tendent of schools, Mr. Patty, an outmoded drum and bugle corps was replaced by a band at South Hadley High School. Since then, the progress of the South Hadley High School band has been nothing short of amazing. Under the management of Mr. Auld and Mr. Bosworth, the band acquired uniforms, instruments and other equipment and is at present free of debt. The band is entirely self-supporting- deriving its income from playing engagements, chief of which is the annual Memorial Day parade at South Hadley. Since the year it was organized, the band has rapidly gained in ability and has received due recognition. In more recent years it has played at church fairs, at the South Hadley grammar schools, and has given open- air concerts besides playing at high school assemblies and football games. In 1941, the band played at the annual Massachusetts State College Basketball Tourn- ament for small high schools. Much of the credit must go to Mr. Auld and Mr. Stevens because they have given their time to direct and instruct the band. The work of these two men is very important because only a small percentage of the band members have had any musical training before joining the band. The band welcomes any players with previous musical knowledge but as only a few of its members have this training, it is willing to lend its instruments to worthy students who desire to learn how to play. To teach these students how to play and to mould them into a well co-ordinated band is the tremendous task that confronts Mr. Auld and Mr. Stevens each year. Miss Marguerite Pearce took over as band manager in 1942, when Mr. Bosworth left for the army and under her able management, new instruments and new uniforms have been paid for. Thus far, because of the untiring efforts of the faculty named, and the cooperation of the participating stu- dents, the South Hadley High School band is a pro- gressive organization. Sixteen Girls and Special Group of Boys This group. under the direction of Mr. Thomas Auld, well known music instructor and organist, has presented various programs in the course of its existance. It periodically entertains both the school and outside organizations, such as the South Hadley Falls Women's Club, the King's Daughters of the Center Congrega- tional Church, and the Rotary Club of Holyoke. Many of the light classics, spirituals, hymn and folk songs have become more familiar to South Hadley students through the elforts of this prominent group of singers, Many times Mr. Auld has been complimented on the excellence of graduation music, and this group has Iigured prominently in all our graduation programs. College Club HE College Club is open to junior and-senior girls taking the college course. The club is affiliated with a group of students from the Fellowship of Faiths at Mount Holyoke College. Mrs. Betty MacDonald is chairman of the campus group. The club's officers are Marguerite Fitzgerald, president, Yvette Gladue, vice president, Ellen Noel, secretary: Jeannette Guinard, treasurer. Miss Hegarty is faculty adviser. The club carries on a program of social, vocational and service activities at the high school and on the college campus. At the first meeting of the year, the officers entertained the club at a Hallowe'en Party held in the lunch room during organization period. One meeting a month is devoted to the discussion of voca- tional problems, including requirements and financial expenses for college and nursing school. As a contri- bution to the war effort, a workshop for Red Cross activities is planned for the second meeting of the month. Several meetings were held on the college campus. In the fall, a tour of Mount Holyoke College was con- ducted to acquaint students with the college. Informal and formal teas were held in various resident halls. Members of the college faculty, adminstration, and the WAVES in training at the college were guest They discussed social and academic aspects of college life and talked over possible vocations and professions for the college graduate. Lunch Room Girls llkll 29 THE South Hadley High School has it's own cafeteria which is a help to the students as well as to the school. The students profit by learning how to make main-dishes, sandwiches, salads, and cakes. The girls serve lunches at noon-time and sell milk in the halls and they also serve in the teachers' room. The girls work on a co-operative basis. Each one has her own duties to perform and does them to perfection. nn 'll Wm J' 4 , 1 ' 5 Hlll' .M . Ewa ' T H .Q hae.- They give suggestions to one another and help to share each other's tasks. The girls help to plan out the menus for each week. The war affected the cafeteria considerably. The canned foods are rationed just as well as sugar. So you see, they also have a problem on their hands. Miss Pearce is the supervisor of the high School Cafeteria. The girls enjoy their work very much and it will certainly be a great help to them in the future. Dramatic Club OUR Dramatic Club is a member of the Valley Wheel Dramatic League which is composed of nine schools divided into groups of three. South Hadley, Easthampton, and West Springfield are in one of these groups. Each school takes its turn at entertain- ing the others of its group in the annual One-Act Play Contest. In 1939 and 1942, the plays were presented here. For three years, 1939-1941, the League held no contests but secured competent critics to witness the performances. However, in 1942 the contests were resumed with each of the nine schools presenting a comedy. Our Dramatic C1ub's selection, SUGAR AND SPICE, won in the tournament held in Palmer. One member of that cast was james Gaylord, of the Class of '43. This year the tournament was omitted because of transportation difficulties caused by the war. The Club, however, presented two Victory Plays in assem- blies. WOODMAN, CHOP THAT TREE was a melodrama illustrating the need for the lumber in uncut woodlots in the eastern states, prepared by the Division of Information, WPB, and released through the Education Services Division, OWI. It was played by Dorothy Godek, Patricia Cox, Arthur Purcell, George Doll, James Gaylord, and David Judge. THE LADIES DISCOVER AMERICA, a one-act comedy by Anne Coulter Martens, was presented by an all- girl cast consisting of Thaya Cronk, Eunice Duffy, Mary Barbara Walsh, Dorothy Gaylord, Charlotte Crosier, Lucille Richard, Shirley Horrigan, and Eleanor Daley. It has been the aim of the Dramatic Club to en- courage an appreciation of good plays and to develop individual talent, not only in the realm of acting but also in the specialized fields of stagecraft and make-up. Miss Millicent Sallis is club adviser. Debating Group The Varsity Debating Team has done much hard work this year in keeping up the reputation of South Hadley High School as one of the top schools in the Valley Wheel. The question debated in the 15 debates participated in by the Varsity Debaters, namely Arthur Purcell, Barbara Merrill, Diana Leedy, Marguerite Fitzgerald and David Judge was based on Post War World Organization. As has been the case with many activities this year interscholastic debating was considerably curtailed. No Practice Tournament. was held and the Connecticut Valley Debating League ran off its interschool debates in two meetings at Westfield and South Hadley whereas in the past, weekly debates have been held. The Massachusetts State Speech Association too suspended the Western Massachusetts and State Tournaments for the duration. However, as we go to press the Varsity Debating Team is preparing for the New England Tournament which will be held as expected, at Lewiston, Maine, ADril 24. ' The Varsity Team placed third in the Connecticut Valley Debating League, Northampton being first and Westfield second. Our debaters, however, had the satisfaction of beating Northampton in both defeats. The team has received its training this year in a regular class, for which they received graduation credits, instead of at after-school meetings, affording them tangible compensation for their diligence. It is with real regret that Mr. Foley and the debaters will watch the graduation exercises this year for Marguerite Fitzgerald who has debated brilliantly for three years will be addressing an audience as a South Hadley student for the last time. The future of debating is quite bright, however, for we still have Barbara Merrill, Arthur Purcell, Diana Leedy and David judge as experienced debaters while the new debate class which has been added to the course of study should produce some line material. Mr. Jeremiah Foley is the faculty adviser of the group. National Forsenic League HE South Hadley Chapter of the National Forsenic League has been neither as active nor as large this year as it has been in previous years due to the fact that many students who might be speech enthusiasts are working after school. However the quality of the speech work of the members has con- tinued at the same high level as that of its past record. Due to existing conditions no after school meetings of the club have been held. All the debates this year were arranged in tournament from and held at two different schools. South Hadley acted as host for the fourth, iifth and sixth rounds and the banquet and dance following. Despite curtailment of activities the N. F. L. has sponsored a dance and a drive for the sale of War Bonds and Stamps. Under the able leadership of Calvin Mathias a system of pledges was initiated with leaders in each home room to take care of local sales. Intra-mural speech contests open to all students have also been sponsored by the N. F. L. because inter-school activities were cancelled due to transporta- tion difficulties. In the first, a Humerous Declamations contest, Jean Rough and William McCorkinda1e tied for first place. In the Dramatic Declamations contest, J ean Purrington was declared the winner. The Extem- poraneous Speaking Contest showed the most fire, being won by Arthur Purcell with James Gaylord a close second. The Oratorical Contest was cancelled and those planning to take part participated in the Legion Contest, won by Earl L'Esperance with James Gaylord the winner of the Second place. An Extemporaneous Speaking Contest was added this year, for the iirst time, to the Legion Contest, thus oliering a wider field of participation to students. The N. F. L. sponsored a model student Congress held at the assembly. The House of Representatives was made up of student Congressmen chosen on the basis of population from each home room. The Senate was dispensed with for convenience sake. Bills intro- duced in the House pertained to National Affairs. Two members of the faculty, Mr, Jeremiah Foley and Miss Inez Heggerty, have done much to aid the students in their speech work. Pro Merito Society HE Pro Merito Society is a statewide organization which was formed in 1917. In that year Dr. Herbert D. Gadsby, Principal of Dury High School in North Adams, urged the principals of Western Mass- achusetts to cooperate in forming a high school honor society. Twenty-three schools formed the society to be known as Pro Merito. In later years more schools were added. In 1934 the society adopted a constitution and by-laws. A board of Governors which controls the affairs of the society was chosen. Local affairs, however, are controlled by the chapters. The local Pro Merito chapter was not formed until 1928 when Mr. Allen C. Cummings, principal of South Hadley High School formed the society and became faculty adviser. Miss Cross was adviser until 1942, and Miss Maybelle Pratt, our Dean of Girls and teacher of French, is the present adviser. The Pro Merito Society was founded in order to give recognition to students of high scholastic standing and to encourage underclassmen to study. In order to pro- mote this purpose, junior societies have been formed in many schools. Pro Merito members enjoy special privileges. Membership in the society becomes per- manent provided that the members do honor work and have high character ratings. classes. Last year, because of the national emergency, the society abandoned its elaborate program and turned to a more necessary project and sponsored the establish- ment of an American Junior Red Cross chapter and enrolled all members of the school. This year the society has devoted all its energy to making Junior Red Cross the most important of all extra-curricular activities at South Hadley High. The result has been most gratifying since we were able to purchase for Westover Field Hospital ten card tables, two Crossley radios, and forty games of all kinds. Besides supplying Christmas and Thanksgiving baskets to the needy, Pro Merito stands ready to purchase a Minute Man flag when 90'Z, of the school pledges to buy stamps and bonds systematically, We are already arranging to have a plaque on which will appear the names of all pupils who have contributed outstandingly with money, time or service in the interest of their country. The local chapter of the Pro Merito is made up of 20 members this year, seventeen senior and three juniors who will be the nucleus of the society next year. The members of the senior class who were elected to the society in their junior year are George Doll, Claire L'Esperance, Helen Zawadski, and Gertrude Karl. The members of the present junior class elected to Pro Merito this year are Helene Hano, Barbara Merill and Elinor Galusha. A Spotlight HE Spotlight was established as a magazine September 1919. Later, on October 4, 1935, it became a monthly newspaper. The Spotlight is a member of the Western Massachusetts League of School Publication and is also a member of the National Scholastic Press Association. In the past the Spotlight has received many honors for its quality. April 15, 1933, the Spotlight was awarded First Class Honor Rating in recognition of its merits, by the National Scholastic Press Associa- tion. In 1934, the Spotlight was awarded the Proulx Shield as winner of the Western Massachusetts League of School Publications. In 1941, it was voted the news- paper with the highest standard of general excellence in the Western Massachusetts League of School Publications. The success of the Spotlight as a school newspaper must be attributed to the work of its various staffs through a period of twenty-three years. Each gradu- ating class of South Hadley High School has helped to make the paper what it is today. Its success is also due to the unfailing work of its advisers. The Spotlight has tried to please its readers by adopting a number of separate departments. One page is given to sports. There has always been an exchange column in the Spotlight. Such features as The Corn- field and The Easy Chair make it popular. The printing of the Spotlight requires no small amount of work by the members of the Board. After the material to be printed has been written by the reporters, each article is read - and rewritten if neces- sary. This copy is then typewritten to fit the columns -a painstaking job, because the right-hand margin must be as even as the left. All the articles, column wide, are sent to the make-up department, whose job it is to paste them on large sheets of cardboard Cone and a half times the size of the Spotlightj so that each page presents a balanced appearance by itself or vsith another page. The completed dummy is then sent to the printer, and the Board's worries are over for a few days S when they begin to work on the next issue. At the printer's the dummy goes first to the art room, where it is spruced up and cleaned. Then the dummy goes to the photographic department, where its picture is taken, and it is reduced to its final size. Each page is placed between a screen and a pane of glass. The negative is developed and then transferred to a sheet of zinc or aluminum by placing it in chem- icals which are affected by a strong light. Finally, this plate is impressed on a rubber blanket , from which the Spotlight is printed. The finished sheets are sent to the High School where they are folded by the mem- bers of the Board. This process of photographing the dummy and transferring it to a rubber sheet is called the photo- offset process. In closing, The Spotlight wishes to say farewell to the Class of '43, by urging each graduate to make the motto of the Spotlight his own. Vincit qui se vincit. S. A. S. HE function of the Student Activities Society is to collect dues and pay bills for every class, association and club in the high school. The teacher advisers of each class and club cooperate with the S. A. S. treasurer, John Flanagan, in requiring accurate linancial reports monthly from their class treasurers. Each school year the pupils are asked to pledge a particular amount. This is a voluntary association and the number of members increases every year. The amount of the pledge covers the pupil's class dues, subscription to the school paper and contributes to the support of athletic activities. The S. A. S. also sponsors educational assemblies, magazine drives, the Prize Speaking Contest and many more minor activities. The S. A. S. treasurer is assisted by the class treasurers. The success of the S. A. S. is evidence of hard work and many extra hours spent by these boys. Miss Hilda Fleming is faculty treasurer and group adviser. Student Council HE student council movement has become of great importance in the past few years. Student coun- cils have been organized for the purpose of promoting a better understanding between the faculty and the students. The council acts as an advisory board for the principal. The council does not have any supreme powers, but merely suggests to the principal and faculty changes or new ideas of the students which they believe will benefit the school. The council trains the students in govemmental responsibility, and promotes a feeling of equality among the students. The members of the South Hadley High School Student Council form the governing body of the stu- dents. Each class elects its own members according to their own election rules. The freshmen have three representatives, sophomore three, juniors four, and the seniors four representatives on the Council. Powers belonging to the student Council are derived from the Council's constitution which has been approved by the principal and faculty. The Council meets on the second Thursday of every month. Oticers of the Council consist of a president, usually a senior boy or girl, a vice-president, and a secretary. The Student Council also has a faculty adviser who is the representative at all faculty meetings. The officers are nominated and elected by its members. Some of the functions of the Council are: the award- ing of letters and certificates, appointing monitors for the hallways, selecting special school assemblies, and when problems arise, affecting the entire student body, the Council members meet to formulate a ruling satisfactory to all. All rulings, however, must be approved by the principal. Some of the more important achievements of the South Hadley High School Student Council in the past few years were the changing of the date for class elec- tions from September to June, the qualification of a C and a C+ mark, securing the privilege of allowing the students to leave the school grounds during lunch period without a pass, the estabishment of an adequate traffic system, and undertaking the project of waste paper collection for national defense. Gateway ers -eg 1' bf w. IT has not always been the custom to print a year- book at South Hadley. For the first time in many years a journal containing a brief account of the Senior Class was published in 1936. Another Senior Year- book was published in 1941. The class of 1942 published a yearbook, the Gateway, which has been our model and which we hope will be an inspiration to the classes to come, as it has been to us. The task of publishing a yearbook is a tremendous one. The members of the board must work together constantly. The business department must raise enough money through solicited advertising and special projects to cover the cost of the year-book. The Gateway for 1942 cost nine hundred dollars when all bills were paid. The Gateway for 1943 will approximate that, also.

With a light line averaging 145 pounds, with a team riddled by injuries, Capt. Budge Brainard, the only regular of last year's team who was not a member of the class of '42, experienced hard luck this year. The first game was with Ware High School, played at the beach grounds on October 17, 1942. The first half was a seesaw battle in which neither side threatened seriously, In the middle of the third quarter, however, Ware got to the 30 yard line, and then scored on a sleeper pass from Sheldon to Anderson, who had remained unnoticed on the sidelines. Although the play was strongly contested by both Coach Connor and Coach Santucci, the referee allowed the play. The fullback for Ware, Novak, then skirted his own right end for the point after touchdown. South Hadley, in desperation, began to throw passes, but its hopes were dashed when was intercepted in the closing minutes.

The Tiger went down to defeat by a score of 38 to 0. Hopelessly outweighed by a line which averaged at least 160 pounds, South Hadley did not threaten seriously throughout the game. Enfield scored almost immedi- ately, and seemed to experience no difficulty in scoring thereafter. They scored on a blocked kick, a long pass and sustained drives. Enfield was sparked by the fine playing of Capt. Keller, the fullback. On October 31, the last game of the season was played against Westfield at home. Playing perhaps its best game of the season, South Hadley was defeated 26 to 0. The back field for Westfield was extremely fast, with a sharp attack featuring left-halfback Gurley and fullback Lucia. South Hadley had a bad day as regards to fumbles, fumbling when it seemed on its way to pay dirt. In the last quarter L'Esperance inter- cepted a pass and raced to Westf1eld's 20 yard line, but the play was called back, the referee stating that L'Esperance had interfered with the intended pass receiver. The game was really well played, and perhaps if the breaks of the game had been more even, South ' lo Hadley would have made it HC Sei' COIUCCSK.

They have also observed that American youth are deficient in the physical characteristics needed by soldiers, sailors and airmen. They also know that one of the biggest contributions that schools can do for the war effort and modern civilization is to have a program of physical education for every normal boy and girl. Mr. Thomas B. Landers is our Physical Education Director. The Purpose of the program is to make high school pupils physically fit to undertake the unusually heavy tasks they will be called upon to assume in the near future. For some it will be for induction into the armed forces. For this group the program has for its objective the development of Cal strength, endurance, stamina and' bodily coordination, tbl physical skills that will be of direct value and use in the armed forces and war work. For others it will be for employment in agriculture. industry, commerce, domestic services and other essential occupations. The program is, therefore, for all pupils. The activities are adapted fly to their respective abilities to perform them, and C22 to the prospective services in which they engage on leaving school. Intramural games and schedules have been prepared and put into effect, with emphasis placed on competi- tion for the largest number of pupils the greatest number of times possible. A typical education class period: 60 minutes Changing from street clothes to gymnasium suits, 8 min.

Although the boys enjoyed few successes, they set what might be called a record, by defeating Hopkins Academy and St. Jerome High. Mr. Bristol, one of the high school's war substitutes, took over the team this year, and because of the lack of substitute players, had to develop the first five into 'virtual iron men. The proof of his success is shown by the fact that the boys played almost a full 32 minutes every game. ' High scoring honors this year go to Captain Dion and Franny Meehan, Dion having 130 points and Franny 126. While handing out the honors we cannot overlook the fine defensive and offensive work of Earl L'Esperance and Ray Viens, and also the excellent pivot work of the team's tall fellow, Ted Halkyard. Also used in some of the first-team games were Paul Blackmer, Vince Taugher, Leonard Bourque and Clem Bach. Although Dion, Halkyard, and Blackmer put in their last season with the orange and black uniforms, the -material for next .year's team shows great promise. South Hadley started the season with a 28-20 defeat by Sacred Heart, but came back in the next game to beat Rosary, 18-17, 'lhe next game with Hopkins proved another setback, this time by a score of 42-23. However, at the next tilt, South Hadley won over Rosary, the score being 37-21. The next four games South Hadley suffered defeats by Smith School, East- hampton, Amherst and Smith Academy, but all was forgiven when South Hadley defeated St. Jerome High with a score of 25-21. Honorable mention should be given to Oscar Viens, who held thestar player Ca man who threw an average of 18 points a gameb to 6 points. Also at the next game, South Hadley scored a major upset by defeating Hopkins, 22-20. The game went into an overtime period, when Captain Dion's basket decided the game! The boys took the next decision over Smith School, but then suffered the worst defeat of the season at the hands of Easthampton, the latter piling up 45 points against our boys' 16. Then again the boys were beat by Amherst High 33-23. After the defeat by Amherst, the boys took all the remaining games, except for the last one when they were set back by St. Jerome with the score of 31-27.
