K : i f teu tvf I will go out and walk upon the hills When day has scarcely burned the dawn away. I will breathe deep of sunny wind that fills My valley with a shimmering green at play. High on the brow of some blue'shadowed knoll A Presence waits to touch and make me whole. There is a decalogue which these high hills Cry to my heart. Carved clear upon the stone Of my imperishable memories They give me back the truths which I have known: The tortured trail that struggling climbs and climbs; The breathing earth I love, torn wide with scars; And yet—the miracle of green sprung from the wound! The clearing somewhere open to the stars! I will go out into the waking day And walk upon the hills a long, long way. Margaret Steel Hard

 Foreword “Vermont is a way of life, to quote Vermont Life. Much can be said on this subject but most people will agree that to grow up and be educated in Vermont is a unique experience. We, the class of 1952, present this book, not only as a product of our class and community but also as a guide to the Vermont way of life. Four years ago we entered Spaulding as young, unlearned freshmen filled with awe of these halls of learning where tradition and progress went hand in hand. Now, four years later, we exit as more learned and worldly individuals. Some of us are now ready to become more active members of our community. Others of us will go on to college and learn to become more useful members of our community. But whatever we do in future years we know that our characters and personalities have been, by now, molded and chiseled by the adults of this lty our faculty, our advisors, our churches, and our civic clubs and organizations. And no matter what parts of the world we find ourselves in, home will always be in the beautiful green hills of Vermont where we were taught responsibility, dependability, and fairness, those alHmportant virtues which make a strong individual and a good citizen. com
