It is only the scene of the miracles that has changed, for many of the miracles of today take place in the chemical laboratories of the world. One of these miracles has been tbe discovery of the so-called sulfa drugs, which is the general term for sulfanilamide and its derivatives. While it is not my purpose to set forth a scientific study or to solve any medical problems, I do wish to give a little general information about these important drugs and to express interest in and appreciation for the efforts of those scientists who are working to bring health to human kind. Contrary to the common belief, sulfanilamide is not in any way related to sulfur, a substance often taken in the Spring with molasses, but sulfa, is a product of sticky, ill-smelling coal tar. Although these drugs were released only after very complete tests covering a period of years, there were at first some very unfortunate incidents. Because the people in a certain part of the country desired liquid medicine, the sulfanilamide was made into that form, but was put up by a poorly trained laboratory technician and distributed in great quantities, without any tests. Soon disturbing reports began coming in and it was found that the solvent in which the sulfanilamide was dissolved was proving very harmful, causing the death of many people. This incident nearly ended the story of the sulfa drugs just as they were about to be released. Lack of complete knowledge concerning their use caused further harm. Sulfanilamide was used at random with little regard for the proper amount and the proper care. However, knowledge was soon more widespead and the sulfa drugs began their spectacular work of curing illness. Although the theory of how these miracle-makers work is very complicated, it can be simply stated thus: the sulfa drug combines with the food supply of the germ and the germ dies. The brief history of the sulfa drug is interesting. The first sulfanilamide was made in 1908 in Germany. Little was done in this field until the early twenties, when the Germans found that sulfanilamide, with other substances, made an excellent dye. In the early thirties, there were several reports of this dye being used successfully on streptococcus infections; and soon after, a French chemist found that it was the sulfanilamide in the dve which was bringing about these results. It is only since 1936 that much has been done here in America, and since then the American chemists have made great advances. It is interesting to note that sulfanilamide was not a chemical discovery, but that actually the credit should go to a German dye company. As a medicine, sulfanilamide has brought spectacular results and is used mostly for streptococcus infections, and for meningitis and pneumonia when THE ACADEMY STUDENT 11 they are caused by the streptococcic germ. Its most recent use is in aiding the healing of open wounds and it has proved most helpful in hospitals. It is being used on a large scale in war areas with great success. Now sulfanilamide is a part of all soldiers’ first aid kits and the soldiers have been instructed to take sulfanilamide as soon as possible after being wounded. Formerly blood poisoning caused the most deaths in war, but since sulfanilamide prevents blood poisoning, this use is one of the most important and timely of all the uses of the sulfa drugs. Now when soldiers are brought into hospitals, although they have ghastly wounds, their general condition is good and they have a much better chance of living because they have taken sulfanilamide. However, since sulfanilamide proved very toxic for some people, a search started for another drug which would prevent this toxic condition. This search is still continuing and several other drugs have been found. Two of the guiding principles in sulfa research are: (1) The new drug kills the same germs more quickly. (2) The new drug shows a definite tendency to kill the germs of another disease. The third one, which 1 have mentioned, is that it is less toxic. The first result of this search was sulfapyridine and this is used most specifically for pneumonia. Then the search continued and the chemists have found new uses for these first two and also new drugs. Two of the new drugs were sulfathiazole and sulfadiazine, which did about the same work and were less toxic, but required more time. Sulfathiazole is used to a great extent in combating staphylococcus infections, chronic sinus infections, and for pneumonia. It is one of the more important drugs in use. Sulfadiazine has been found very successful against meningitis. Also, it is used for severe burns and can even be used on burned eyes. It is also effective for pneumonia and streptococcus infections. One of the most outstanding sulfa specialists thinks that it may supplant all the other sulfa drugs. The most recent sulfa drug is sulfaguanidine, which is used in combating intestinal diseases, such as cholera and dysentery. At the present time it is being used under war conditions in the Far East, China in particular, against these diseases. As a word of warning, these drugs, or any drug for that matter, should never be used without a physician’s advice. The sulfa drugs are extremely strong and without proper knowledge can do much harm. Today the medical profession is saving lives and alleviating suffering with sulfa drugs, hut the ideal drug is yet to be found. In time it will appear and begin its greater work for the good of mankind. The field opened by these miracle-makers is extensive beyond imagination, the opportunity is unlimited and the research of the chemist only begun. Surely for us all here is interest and inspiration; here is a miracle being unfolded in our time, as miracles have unfolded in the past when the mind of some man or woman has been ready to grasp and hold them. —Katharine Powell 12 THE ACADEMY STUDENT SALUTATORY ESSAY “LIFE HAS LOVELINESS TO SELL” “The Lord is my shepherd: I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” This beautiful and familiar psalm is one example of the rhythm which sixteenth century translators carried over from the Hebrew writers. Hebrew poetry is based on balance, repetition and the strophaic measure. The strophe, in Greek drama, “was the full circle made by the chorus while walking about the altar, chanting the ode.” In verse the strophe means one completed round or cadence. It would seem that ancient Hebrew writers anticipated the modern poets, for their psalms and prayers achieve their effects through the medium of so-called free verse. Walt Whitman, with Leaves of Grass,” blazed the trail for free verse in America. Many of Amy Lowell’s colorful and vivid poems are written in this form. Free verse is much like natural speech. Its rhythm depends on the emotional pause. Life is rooted in rhythm and therefore the ear must be far more specialized to appreciate the deep feeling of the free verse form. As D. H. Lawrence said, “I think more of a bird with broad wings flying and lapsing through space than anything when I think of metre. It all depends on the pause—the natural pause, the natural lingering of the voice according to the feeling—it is the hidden emotional pattern that makes poetry, not the obvious form. It doesn’t depend on the ear, particularly, but on the sensitive soul. And the ear gets a habit and becomes master when the ebbing and lifting emotion should be master and the ear the transmitter.” When I was asked to make a poem from a long list of word-pictures. I decided to use free verse. The material was a list of beautiful things which members of our class had compiled. Beauty gives rise to emotion in some way or other; and therefore the most effective presentation of the ideas would be in a natural emotional pattern. A love of beauty—something deep within That stirs when you see the sunset Or hear the bird’s evening call, Something that responds to familiar, friendly things. I know—you know—that a love of beauty is inborn. Youth finds beauty everywhere. THE ACADEMY STUDENT 13 “Walking barefoot on a dirt road, rustling through Crisp autumn leaves—hearing the wind Whistling through the tall swaying pines; A bird’s song—gay and hopeful; A bubbling brook winding through the woods.” These are familiar things. Man has loved them Since the beginning of time. “Mountains—towering, lofty, powerful, When they become alive at sunset Burning with gold and orange. Mountains and pines burdened with snow, A storm moving over their peaks, A threatening gloom—inevitable.” Some folks like grandeur and gold ; Others like warmth and friendliness. Powerful high mountains for some. But for others little rolling hills: “A white hill under a blue heaven, Breezes blowing your hair so that It whips around your eves and mouth. Slender birches on the hilltop, bending, Yielding to the wind ; A blue sparkling lake secure Between two broad green hills, The long valley lined with trees— Tall elms, broad oaks, friendly birches.” The seasons following each other, A vast cycle. Beauty is in them all: The freshness of spring, the dazzling brightness of winter— “The skier, graceful, sweeps down the slope Making a spray of snow. The 4 o’clock hush under a gray sky, Huge flakes falling silently—you linger, Hesitant, skiing down the trail once more. Snow falling in the deep quiet woods; Rabbits hopping among the trees. Quick, elusive; the bark of the hound, Running close on the tracks. And, then, on Christmas Eve, The tree with soft lights, 14 THE ACADEMY STUDENT Sweet voices singing ‘Holy Night’— ‘The Savior is born’—the tinkle of sleigh bells Merry and bright; the huge silent snow drifts, Evenings, walking home—cold mornings— And gray smoke rising from the chimneys.” A memory is a lovely thing, A vision that stirs. The beauty That is love makes a precious, Eternal memory to brighten sad hours: “Recall the lingering loveliness of Mother’s smile, Of a child lying asleep in his warm bed; The vision of incense curling around the candles At Benediction—soft organ music Swelling, lifting to the heavens— In praise of God ; The gay laugh of friends together, And best of all, the smile of the stranger who looks at you.” The finer things in life: “The touch of soft satin—candlelight And flowers—the delicate rose— The smouldering loveliness of the orchid. The mystic glow of soft lights through the stained glass windows.” What man has not felt the inward glow, 'This sense of satisfaction that comes From beauty and love. It can be mountains or yawning canyons Elaborate Gothic towers—Woolworth’s mighty monument Pointing heavenward—or little things— “Cool summer breezes at evening, Ocean waves washing the sand, Warm red apples lying in the September sun, Homecoming footsteps on the front porch.” Youth finds beauty everywhere. —Anita Tegu This poem originated from lists of “My Beautiful Things” prepared as an assignment in senior English. The form of the poem is entirely the work of Anita Tegu. THE ACADEMY STUDENT 15 CLASS HISTORY TIME: April 16, 1942 PLACE: Alumni Office PROBLEM: Class History CHARACTERS: The Committee Currier: Now, we’ve got to get down to business. This has to be finished by April 27. You've had some time to think this over. What ideas have you got? Stanhope: We should start way back at the beginning of our history. Now what happened our freshman year? Poole: I know the class bells scared me. Rodger: There were two new organizations started that year—the Allied Youth and the French Club. Nutting: Archery, tennis, and golf were started as girls’ sports. Currier: How many members were there in our class when we entered the Academy? Stanhope: It says here in this notebook that the enrollment of the freshman class in 1938 was 149 students. Poole: Yes, but since then some members of the class have left, some new ones have come and a few seniors have decided it would be easier to take four years in five. That leaves about 116 students that will be graduating. Rodger: 1 remember that the hurricane caused quite a bit of excitement that year. Because the lights went out, everybody used it as an excuse for not having his homework done the next day—and it worked. Currier: I think our freshman reception deserves mention. All the freshman girls came out in their first formals. The boys we: e there, too, but most of them were standing around the hall. I guess the reason was that they didn’t know much about dancing then. Stanhope Then nothing much happened until about the middle of the year when we had a chance to struggle through our first midyear exams; but I think most of our class survived. Poole: Then spring came and it was soon time for the final examinations, and the summer vacation. Rodger: Yes, but before we knew it, it was September again and that meant back to school. 16 THE ACADEMY STUDENT 4 Nutting: I guess during the summer vacation our class decided they would work their sophomore year. As a result, they settled right down to some hard studying, and in June they led the other classes in the number of honor students. Currier: Yes, but in May they took a little time off from studying and concentrated on their sophomore reception, which was the first dance put on by our class. Stanhope: I remember that dance. Everyone seemed to have a good time. And the class had learned something about dancing somewhere. Poole: Then it was time for the final examinations and we were finally half way through high school. I remember that summer the time flew and it was September once more and we were back paying our registration fee and getting our schedule cards in Room 2. Rodger: The first highlight of that year was the Hallowe’en Party. The faculty had a very interesting entertainment for us. Miss Ata-mian read a bedtime story to the rest of the faculty, who were attired in flannel night attire. And then a dance was held in the gym after the entertainment was over. Nutting: Now what else happened that year? Oh yes, our class had at last attained the age where they had the privilege of purchasing their class rings. Currier: And another important thing that happened that year was the first Girls’ State. This is much the same as Boys’ State and is sponsored by the American Legion. The three girls from our class that attended the first Girls’ State were Velma Rash, Rosemary Jones, and Dorothy Whaley. Stanhope: Now we don’t want this to get boring with too many facts, so we’d better get started on our senior year. There seem to be more things that happened during our last year, or perhaps it’s because we can remember them better. Poole: Well, this year started off with a bang by having a successful freshman reception. Everyone seemed to be enjoying himself. And for a change—the freshmen could dance. Rodger: We had another interesting entertainment put on by the faculty at the Hallowe’en Party this year, too. It was more or less educational to the students. Members of the faculty demonstrated the “Evolution of the Dance.” Nutting: Oh, we mustn’t forget to mention our hot dog sale at the L. I. football game. Even though it rained, both the team and the dogs were successful. THE ACADEMY STUDENT 17 Currier: Stanhope: Poole: Rodger: Nutting: Currier: Stanhope: Poole: Rodger: That must have been clue to our advertising in chapel a week before the game. We should put the words to our song in this history. It’s the only way they will be preserved. Now. how did the words go? Wasn’t it like this? Buy, buy, buy hot clogs, At the L. I. game tomorrow. Buy, buy, buy hot clogs If a clime you have to borrow. Now what was the rest of it? I think it went like this: Come and try this treat You will find it can’t be beat; And as you eat away You’ll give a bark for St. J. A.’’ By putting these words in this history, we’ll be able to read it in our Student ten or fifteen years from now and get cpiite a laugh out of it. Now, I think we should mention the new addition to Colby Hall. This building is going to be wonderful for future classes, and even though we won’t ever attend classes in it, we are all anxious to see it completed. Remember the excitement around school on Monday, December 8, when the United States entered the war! Yes, and soon after that, a group of students organized the Junior U. S. O. Any students having relatives in the service were eligible to join. They elected John Poole as their president. Since then, the rules have been changed so that any student may join the organization, but only those having relatives in the service may hold offices. We lost Ralph Dodge from the senior class in January this year, when he joined the Navy. He is the only member of our class who is in the service at present. I think we should mention a class meeting that was held this year. One of the most important ones was when we elected a nominating committee of four people (Betty Lindsley, Mary Dean McLellan, Robert Morrison, and Charles Delaney). This committee and the four class officers—Larry Lumbra, President; Patricia Currier, Vice-President; Frank Barney, Secretary, and Marjorie Cook, Treasurer;—then proceeded to appoint the graduation committees. This year we succeeded in putting every senior on some committee. 18 THE ACADEMY STUDENT Nutting: Stanhope: Currier: And then the climax to our scholastic endeavors came when the Valedictorian, Katharine Powell, and the Salutatorian, Anita. Tegu were announced in the Student. Yes, there was only one-half a point between the two highest ranking students. There were seven other students who had an average of 90% or better for the four years, and eighteen students who had an average above 85% for the four years. Now, that brings us up to the present and finishes our class history. I think we have covered just about everything, so we will call this enough. If you should think of anything we’ve overlooked let me know. Patricia Currier Carol Nutting Earl Rodger John Poole Margaret Stanhope THE ACADEMY STUDENT 19 PROPHECY SCENE—Parks’ Palladium PROPRIETOR—Theron Parks TIME—1957 Enter—Dorothy Whaley, successful editor of that sophisticated magazine for sophisticated people, “Spec.” Dot—Gimme a pumpkin phosphate. Enter—William Lyster. Bill—Gimme a pumpkin phosphate. Hiya Dot! Dot—Hiya Bill! What are you doing up here? Bill—Oh, I’ve come 'way up from Virginia just to have one pumpkin phosphate ! Dot—What have you been doing lately anyway? Bill—1 ’ve just been elected mayor, first selectman, and cemetery commissioner of East Swashback Center, Virginia. Of course this takes a lot of time from my tobacco plantation but it gets along all right without me. Know what’s cooking with any of the other members of our class? Dot—Well, I had a letter from Arlene Amey the other day. She just opened a private hospital for injured baseball players. Jeanette Begbie’s her head nurse; and boy, they’ve got a rushing business since Skitch Weymouth started running the St. Johnsbury Dinosaurs. Enter—Katharine Powell. Kay—Gimme a pumpkin phosphate. Hello Bill, have you seen the latest Strauch girl ? Dot—What do you mean, Kay? Kay—Well, Carolyn’s drawings have taken the place of the Petty Girl and Gene Tierney as the army’s favorite wall decoration. Gloria Tubman’s her model and Armand Blake is applying his knowledge of mechanical drawing in designing the frames. Dot—Oh! Did you know that Mary Dean McLellan is up here on a visit. It’s the first time she’s come back to St. J. since she closed up her Wee Shoppee in West Danville and moved to Bunchabananas, Venezuela, to be with her husband, who’s stationed there as the representative for one of the large steamship lines. Oh, look, here she comes now! Enter—Mary Dean McLellan. Mac—Gimme a pumpkin phosphate. Hi Kids! I’ve been visiting all around. 20 THE ACADEMY STUDENT 1 was over in the probate court this morning and I had a long talk with Alden Sears (You know lie’s a judge now) and 1 got caught up on some of the old Academy students. Did you know Don McGrath is dead? ’Tis rumored 'twas the fast St. Johnsbury life that did ’im in! Enter—Red Johnson. Red—(J imme a pumpkin phosphate! Hi! gang. I’m up here to cover the game between the Dinosaurs and the New York Yankees. Did you know that Carl Kuniholm recently became the World’s Champion wrestler, greatly aided by his manager, Franklin Barney? Also, Phil Bovee and Alan Colburn have a match for the world’s heavyweight boxing championship soon, in Madison Square Garden. The winner will succeed Joe Louis who recently retired, undefeated. Dot—Just what are you doing now, Red? Bill—Didn’t you know? He was recently made chief sports announcer for NBC. Red—On my way through East St. j. I saw Bob Gannon. You know, he is now the mayor of that metropolis as well as being Commissioner of back roads. Eire alarm sounds— Mac—By the way, Neil Burrington is head of the Fire Dept, and Bob Porter was elected Sheriff of Caledonia County and Victory. Bob uses a door bell on his car as a signal to close in when making a raid. Bill—Fred Bassett is in charge of all Caledonian Record sales boys. He shows a keen insight into their problems, gained from his own experience as a newsboy. Mac—Jacqueline Begin was recently elected the first woman president of the United States on the gold standard ticket. Her campaign manager was Arthur Berthiaume, who helped to show the country what the policy would be by offering a gold dollar to each person who voted for Jackie. Dot—Betty Lou Bell, who recently married the scion of one of the oldest Pittsburgh families, has achieved nationwide fame as an educator through the success of her experimental school in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Kay—Ida Bennett is running the only Men’s Shoppe for ladies in town, declaring it more profitable from the standpoint of both the men and women. Bob Emmons has decided to become a buyer for this shop. Mac—Regis Bernier worked up to become manager of the St. johnsbury branch of the First National Stores. His lovely wife, the former Marie Bradley, helps him as assistant manager; and their three children act as clerks. Bill— Two well known lawyers of our class, Malvern Blodgett and Charles Ashworth, have recently become more prominent in a breach of promise THE ACADEMY STUDENT 21 case. In this case the judge, J. Joseph Killilea, awarded Helen Thurber the sum of two million dollars. The consensus of opinion is that it was a put-up job because, soon after. J. Joe married Helen and they are living on this money. Red—Say, Beatrice, where does Parks get the pumpkins for these phosphates? I want another one. Bea—He gets them only from some farms around here which are run by members of the Class of ’42. Some of the farmers are well known for other things, such as Chandler Nelson and his blue-ribbon heifers; Milton Whitney and his chicken ranch; Winston Adams, who raises a variety of corn which grows 8 feet high ; and Warren Blodgett, who raises purebred Jerseys; but they all raise the excellent pumpkins which we use here. Bill—By the way, Kay, what are you doing now? Dot—Didn’t you know? She has conclusively proved that Einstein’s theory is wrong and also discovered the 7th and 8th dimensions. Mac—Clementine Babcock recently became president of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to the New Hampshire Forests in recognition for her work as tree primer for the white oaks. Red—Frederick Barrows is the owner of a row of theater seats which he uses as a gum parking lot. Dot—Life’s ambitions often change, at least in some cases such as Elsie Bovee’s. Even though nursing has been the chosen profession since infancy, teaching South Americans how to rumba now takes its place. Kay—George Cawley, after successful appearances in The Walrus and the Carpenter and Rich Man, Poor Man, will appear on Broadway this fall in a revival of Charley’s Aunt. Red—Betty Coakley has achieved her greatest ambition of being a home economics teacher. She is now a member of the faculty at the University of Vermont. Mac—The Class of ’42 is well represented in the FBI, as Stanley Collins and Julian Collins recently joined. They were immediately assigned to the code deciphering department when their handwriting was examined. Dot—Lovers of poetry and solitude look to Marjorie Cook’s daily column in the Syracuse “Chique” for a new cure for the annual epidemic of spring fever. She says her success is due to the fact that she never uses her cures, but just prescribes them. Bill—Velma Rash and Mary Toney recently won the Ladies’ National Doubles Bowling Championships. A great part of their success was due to pin-boy Joe Corbin who set up their pins and put up twenty pins each time. 22 THE ACADEMY STUDENT Kay—On Jack Cox’s last world cruise he collected not only tangible objects, but ah ! sweet memories. Red—Pat Currier recently won a soap contest. With the money she has bought a round trip ticket to the moon. Dot—Gubernatorial recognition was given to Dorothy White and Esther Cushman for their splendid work in their Victory gardens. Mac—Shirley Montgomery, creator of Sylph-like Styles, recently announced the most popular of her models after conducting a public opinion poll. Doris Davis came out ahead of all the other models and received nearly half the votes. Bill—Dr. Cornelius Hayes’ new “Live Longa” medicine will enable Elwin Davis to faithfully serve his ninety-nine year sentence at Alcatraz. Red—David Dolgin was recently awarded the Congressional medal for his effort during the war in buying sera]) metals and turning them over to the government. Dot —Kenny Drew is now working for the company which makes Pepsi-Cola and his job is to sing their little song on their radio program. Mac—I was up near the pipe line and stopped in a small tea shop. It was run by Colleen Dunn and Alice Lumbra, but I had a hard time getting waited on. Bill—Hey, Bea, how about some more pumpkin phosphates. Bea—Okey. By the way did you know Helen Dustin is working here? She is on a night shift this week. Red—Connie Dwinell, besides being Winston Adams’ wife, is the head of all the 4-H clubs in the country. Mac—Loretta St. Laurent and her sister-in-law, Nadene Eastman, are the coowners of a date bureau, whose slogan is “We Get ’Em, You Select ’Em.” Kay—Leatrice Faufaw became the idol of thousands of short women when she accidentally discovered an amazing tonic which has added inches to her height. Bill—Bev Goss, after playing the field for several years, has finally settled down in Newport, the home of lost hearts. Dot—()ne of our more famous graduates is Jason Granger, who is classed as a humorist, novelist, cartoonist, and actor in “Who’s Who.” Red—Chester Hopper is in charge of the St. Johnsbury Academy coke bar and dispenses nearly five hundred cokes between each two classes. As he makes his own supply he has no trouble in getting a good profit each day. THE ACADEMY STUDENT 23 Bill—Clarence Jarry operates the only gas station in St. Johnsbury which caters exclusively to the bicycling set. Instead of gas, Ins station doles out free air and elbow grease for use on long hills. Mac—The new swing sensation, Paul LaChance and Ins Peppy Pups, has recently deposed Glenn Miller in the hep-cats’ hearts. This orchestra features Paul on the drums, Norman Cole on the trombone and Rosemary Jones as the sultry blues singer. Kay—Speaking of the arts, the continuous flow of music from Betty Julian’s heart has created for her new friendships on both Upper and Lower Basin Street. Althea Ladd’s nimble fingers have won her a prominent place in the entertainment world. She is now accompanying the amateurs on the Major Bowes’ program. Dot—Our old classmate, Sue Legendre, is now none other than the famous Lady Pleppington of Heppington Square, England. She spends most of her time flying between the Continents in her own private airplane. Red—Bobbie Leonard, although he is getting along in years, is still the main participant for the N. E. barn dancing championship. Mac—The president of the newly organized “Hep Cats” Union is none other than an Academy alumna, Betty Lindsley, who first came into prominence as the owner of the largest collection of Gene Krupa records and pictures in the world. Dot—Betty Louis has retained her title of Mrs. America. She has held it from 11)43 to 1957 (inclusive). Bill—Herman Lucas is one of the pilots in the Pan-American Airlines and recently bought half-interest in one of Bolivia's largest tin mines.

Farewell to ties so dear, Let sacred be within our hearts The happy hours spent here. As on through life we travel When hard we find the way, Just take time to hum the chorus Of our class song at St. J. A. Chorus: Then let our praises ring for St. J. A., We bid her a fond adieu, No class will be more loyal Than the class of ’42. CLASS POEM Class of 1942 A world of strife awaits you. From our colors, green and white, Take courage. Green is a badge of hope, New leaf, new bud. We do not need to grope. White, a symbol of faith Beyond this night. Look to our colors and say, “Believe we will.” Courage, hope, and faith Are with us still. —Betty Lou Bell 32 THE ACADEMY STUDENT MEMORIES When we leave this class of ’42, and go on Into the world, the mad-confused, but Human and beautiful world; When we leave and no more will Our laughs and pranks be a part of St. J. A., then you will remember, Yes, and so will we, the things We can’t forget, little things that will bring Tears to our eyes—eyes that will be Shining with more wisdom and understanding Than was there before—for we will have Lived in a different world; yet we won’t Forget these things. Our gorgeous and dizzy blondes, Mr. Newell’s money-making schemes and The hot dogs we sold at the football game, We’ll think of the L. I. rivals—the sugar party And cornhusking at Ladd’s—Cawley’s Red Hair—half-pints Weymouth, Wright, And Parks—and our rowdy class meetings. How can we forget our glamour boys, The chapel swing sessions, Brantview girls And “cottage” boys— Mudgett’s bear skin coat? Larry Lumbra, our illustrious class president, And F. Barney sleeping in class? Our worthy members on the Student Board— Bill Lyster, always in two places at once— Our humorists Granger, Collins and Wemmelmann? Rosemary Jones and the Democrats— Emmons’ French horn and Morrison’s violin? hat fun we had at the soda fountain meetings, And at the tea dances in old chapel, When the senior jitterbugs let loose! We’ll never forget our first and last breshman reception and the big moment— Our senior dance. When we’re alone—reminiscing— The chapel scene will come; The hurry and hustle, whispers and Trills of light laughter; the visits To the Student Council, Bernier and Tegu, Inc.; The odors from chemistry lab—and Explosions. We’ll chuckle as THE ACADEMY STUDENT 33 We remember the arguments in Current events class; we thought we knew So much—yet never really knew What was to come. And our love affairs that we just Sighed over—the forever faithful Rash-Dodge romance, Ann Winslow and “Pete” (from down home), Bernier and Bradley—all the others. We’ll hear the French and Latin classes Singing Christmas Carols—and remember Those proud moments when The boys received their letters. Every little moment, from Sept. ’38 To June ’42, will live again. How vividly in our dreams We’ll hear the dismissal bell and The laughter and shouts at Noon—the rush for home and dinner! In our mind’s eye we’ll see The rows of desks in study halls A place for some to dream and hope The dreams come true. The senior girls were such Pushovers for fads—boots and bows. In our senior year came The war and so many left For parts unknown—“somewhere in Australia, Hawaii, Ireland,” and still Life went on at home. There are so many little things: Basketball games and football, The track team, and Hallowe’en parties In the gym ; the struggles with Homework; graduation and The class marching silently down The aisles—and afterward there will be only a Square white paper as a proof of Its happening—just a memory. How can we forget all this? But know, at this moment These things are carefully stored away In the memory of time. It’s graduation, and a new world Will open. But tomorrow, next year, 34 THE ACADEMY STUDENT A long time from now, When we’re alone— Then we’ll remember. —Anita Tegu LAST CHAPEL PROGRAM June 5, 1942 Processional ______________ Scripture__________________ Poem_______________________ Pledge Allegiance to Flag Prayer ____________________ Music—School Song__________ Announcements______________ Awards ____________________ Class Song__________________ Class Poem School Songs_________ Oath of Allegiance to School Star Spangled Banner Recessional_______________ -------------------- Seniors -------------Paul Swett --------------Gloria Tubman -------------Velma Rash ---- Lawrence Lumbra Miss Elizabeth Aiken, Leader --------- Regis Bernier --------- Dorothy White - ----Althea Ladd Betty Lou Bell Miss Elizabeth Aiken, Leader Joseph Corbin ------•— Marching of Classes Marshals Class of 1943—Marilyn Marshall Arthur Harriman Class of 1944—Natalie Ruggles Kendall Hudson Class of 1945—Barbara Lumbra Reginald Rolfe THE ACADEMY STUDENT 35 CLASS GRINDS WINSTON GLENN ADAMS “Winny” Hangout: His car Weakness: Connie Favorite Expression: “Holy Cow” Activities: F.
