 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

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
