OUR GUIDES WITHOUT WHOM Mr. George Dean Science Mrs. Thesba Johnston Commercial Mr. Harris Palmer Science FACULTY There are four curriculums open to the students of Spaulding; College, Aca- demic, Commercial, and Trade. These provide the student with a general understanding of his voca- tion or with a detailed one, whichever the case may be. Among the subjects taught at Spaulding are three lan- guages besides English, sev- eral kinds of math, regular commercial subjects and four sciences. Civics is a re- quired subject for every freshman, and every student must take English four years and United States History before he graduates Besides the subjects which are our foundation and which hold prevalence, are the many extra-curricula activities in which the Spauldingite may participate. These include clubs for the different lan- guages, with the exception of English, Speech and Dra- ma, band, orchestra, Glee Club, and, of course, sports — basketball, baseball, and football. And who are the most unappreciated people in Spaulding? The faculty, of course. They spend hours and days planning class work which will give us basic and fundamental knowledge, and all we do is complain about homework. To them we owe our complete thanks. As Director of Gui- dance, Mr. Devine has taken an active interest in the personal problems of many Spauldingites. His and his staff’s ac- tivities have helped us find the answers to per- plexing educational and vocational problems, de- termine our aptitudes, abilities, and interests, and, in many cases, to be placed in jobs in line with our aptitudes and the training we received here at Spaulding.

OUR COUNSELORS AND Mr. Charles G. Taylor Superintendent of Schools The job of making sure that everything runs smoothly (and, believe me, it’s a hard one) belongs to Mr. Mayo. You see him around the halls every day, always ready with a friendly word or a bit of advice. He has had much to do with the classroom improvements and new teaching techniques used here. Besides all this, Mr. Mayo is a loyal Spaulding rooter. Even when our team has played a particularly poor game, he has something pleasant to say about it. He is a graduate of the University of Massachusetts and received his Ed.M. from Boston University. Mr. Taylor, superintendent of the Barre City Schools, is a graduate of Maine and Harvard Universities where he received his A.B. and Ed.M. degrees. Working with and helping students are among Mr. Taylor’s many interests. He is a member of the Adult Council of the Lighthouse and has done much toward the improvements and progress of it. Mr. Taylor has also shown his civic interest by taking part in the several charitable activities. Working on the Boy Scout committees and puttering around the house are a few of Mr. Taylor’s many enjoy' ments. We are grateful for his help and guidance received through our school years. Mr. Frank Mayo Principal Your Community To the members of the graduating class: Here in Vermont and in some other New England states the words “community” and “neighbor” have long been associated with a feeling of closeness and friendliness. To many people the community has been their life, their world, and their frontier. Today that feeling, fostered and nurtured over the years, has become a symbol of our American heritage. It has become expanded and developed but perhaps not understood. This understanding rests, in large measure, on the shoulders of you young people for greater diffusion and development. The more you learn and the more you are willing to understand, the wider your personal world grows, and therefore, the larger your community. It is as big as you make it. Use your education to help push back the limits of the world you live in, until all the world is one community and all are neighbors. 5

WE WOULD NEVER HAVE DEDICATION This year two of its best known teachers are leaving Spaulding and the teaching profession. They are Miss Stella M. Brooks and Miss Faith B. Lmsley. To them, for long years of faithful and loyal service, we dedicate this Echo. We, the class of 1952, are fortunate in having had them for teachers. Miss Brooks taught us not only Latin, but courtesy and responsibility as well Miss Linsley, through a lot of extra work and research, has given us a more com' plete view of England and its literature To them we say, “Good bye and good luck.” Miss Stella Brooks Latin, ].
