It is surprising that we are even going to graduate, but it is even more surprising to find that we have any¬ thing left to leave among those whom we feel deserve some remembrance of our departure. I ' irst, and deservedly so, we leave to Miss McGillicuddy, onr class guide, the wheel of this ship with which she has steered such a straight course and we hope she will always remember her first class, that of 1939 . As is customary, we leave to all the teachers a box of detention and help-slip pads to replace those which they scattered among us so lavishly. We bequeath to Harry Maddern, well known to everyone, one of Whit¬ field Moretti’s newly invented electro-magnetic, whirlwind-brush, super¬ suction vacuum cleaners, guaranteed for 119 years. lo benefit Mr. Lorden’s athletic teams we tried to leave Gus Christian, ltd Sicard, and batty Dlugosz but failed so we console him with Smokey Brozo, Rule Book Nagle, and Cannon-Ball Wonsey. Richie Gingras’s patented “Window Pusher-Upper-and-Puller-Downer” is left to Miss Ayer so that she may regulate her room temperature from buttons on her desk. Having heard a great deal about articles borrowed and never returned by the other science teachers, we leave Mr. Shumway a new lab, equipped with the same articles, reborrowed from Mr. Galvin and Mr. Sheff. To Miss Teed, we leave a motorized scooter which will not only get her to school more quickly but will save some energy which she can certainly use elsewhere. PajKe Forty TI It EKS F I 1 -S IIIG S HOOK YKAH HOOK i s :« We leave to Miss Packard, a group of noiseless typewriters, so that M iss Little, in the next room, can hear her pupils think. An extra large pair of wooden shoes is left to MissPorter, so that Pere Noel may leave her all she deserves, when he comes next Christmas. Leaving waves is a hackneyed custom, but nevertheless we leave those extra-special waves of Kulch, Caouette, and Charles P� rgiel, to Doc Shea, Jackie Collins, and Lefty Waryas. We leave Stanley Makarewicz ' s commission in Junior Birdmen of America to Eddie Bourdeau and we hope that he will carry on where Mac leaves off. Although Captain Marsh and Corporals C. Stenard and P. Dubreuil are lost to the Montague City Tom Mix Club, we hope that Bellemore, Dor- hammer, and H. Gruelling will carry on. Joe Napikoski ' s Wake ’Em Up machine failed on Bill Beaubien and John Girard but we hope it will work next year on Sleepy Grogan and Dave Shanahan. To take the place of that team of teams, Giggy ' s Grocers, we nominate the following: John O ' Hare, Mike Geraghty, Richard Wilson, Willard Arial, Louis Parda, and Enamel Paulin. We leave Howie Luippold’s address book to Bud Bessette and we’re sure he’ll add a few more names to it. Don’t make them all from Greenfield, Bud. Pat Hazelton’s magnetic dimple is left to Susan Alvord, and may it draw them in as well as formerly. Lest those famous thumbs of Sojka and Krainson become rusty, we leave them to Russ Breault and Joe Kulis. We leave Hank Sutton’s formula for preventing rattles and knocks to Ken Williams so those bumps on the Montague road won’t knock his car apart.

Junie Dolan ' s nature tour is left to Buddy Staiger, if he can find some¬ thing of interest up there. We bequeath Scootch Thompson’s twinkling toes to Henry Skrypeck, to aid him in his ballet dancing. To the South End gang, we leave an elevator to get them up Yankee Hill. The Baron has so much that can be left that it’s hard to decide what to leave from him, but we have finally concluded to leave his football shoes to the school and sincerely hope someone will be able to fill them next year. We leave Alec Ivostrzewsky’s manliness to Warren Gingras and we hope that he ' ll use it to even better advantage than Alec did. To Mrs. O ' Keefe is left Kazimier Wozniak ' s “Freshman Stretcher’’ so that she may make next year’s freshmen big enough to find without the use of a microscope. Olie Hoff ' s ability to get himself mixed up in every class activity is left to Clinton May with the warning to be careful how he uses it. Hootmon Schuhle’s title “Wild Man of ’39’’ is left to Trip Treml with lhe appropriate change of numbers. “The Perfect Farmer”, a book written by Ray Clark, is left to Jack McCarthy and we feel sure it will do some good, somehow, even if it’s only !o light a fire withal. The inseparability of Joan Koch. Helen Urban, and Dot Simkus, is left to Helen LaPalm, Margaret Murphy, and Katherine Kavanaugh. Beans Maddern deserves something (and how) so we leave a copy of Emil Wiacek’s book, “How to Avoid Working in Ten Easy Lessons.” Light Horse Frannie Bertrang’s ability to ride the bucking broncs is left to Gerald Leveille, unless he already has a system of his own. I’aKe Forty-two Tl ' HNEltS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR ROOK — !} :{!) Johnnie Dolan’s left-handed power is left to Willie LaFrance so that he can pitch equally well with either arm. Believing it only fair for Marie Stewart, Justine Braun, and Lorraine Martineau to have but one boy-friend apiece, we leave all the rest of them to any undergraduate girls who would like to have them. A new teacher is left to the school to replace Mr. Galvin who at the rate he ' s going now, will be devoting full time to showing motion pictures. To Miss Lindsay we bequeath a book containing all those “impossible” math questions which we have asked during our three years under her. Someday she’ll find the answers. We leave Celina Breault’s polite sneezing to Martha Treml. We feel that such a valuable asset should not be thrown away. That famous Latin ability of Lucille Sullivan’s is left to Anna Marie who perhaps can make use of it. The drawl of that “Man from Maine”, Dick Burrill, is left to Johnnie Ladd since he’s pretty well acquainted with it already and knows how to use it. It gets ’em, Johnny. Charlie Stenard’s book, “How to Create a Rumpus in a Class Room”, is left to Marcel Dion. Maybe he doesn ' t need it though and if this is the case, he should pass it on to Bugs Bogusz. We leave the record of Rosemary Carroll behind, something for aspiring undergraduates to strive for diligently. To the juniors we, the departing seniors, leave our rank and we hope that they are worthy of this office and will not besmirch the record which we have left. These are all the special bequests which we have to leave, for we are poor anyway, but to all of you who are here now, and to all who are to follow, we leave a swell school, a swell faculty, and a swell town. Treat them well and you will be rewarded. THE SENIOR CLASS Signed, Chester Kulch, President Howard Luippold, Vice-President Witnesses Olaf Hoff Francis Giknis Paife Forty-three Tl ll.

It deals with social groups. Just as biography describes the life of individuals, so history relates the rise, progress, and decline of human societies. History cannot go back of writ¬ ten records. 1 I II IlMioil of t In Hordes from Ntirro 11 tiding (list riots 3 llodee ' s K.vtrjiot from Records of the lir.st century lifter the invasion CHAPTER II The Earliest History of the Ancients On a rainy day, the 4th of September, 1935, one hundred sixty-six mem¬ bers of the Tribe of ’39, migrating from nearby sections, invaded the halls of Turners High. There they excitedly established themselves in caves, numbered one, two three, and thirteen for convenience’s sake. 2 In appear¬ ance, manners, and customs, these motley Ancients were an extraordinary lot. As a rule, they had respect for the authority of their elders, and were an independent and liberty-loving folk. Promptly at 1 p. m. the vast Horde began to make history. Fortun¬ ately. they were the last to work on the two platoon system, whereby the three neighboring upperclass tribes operated during the morning, and the lowly Horde in the afternoon. However, Chieftain Arthur E. Burke fore¬ saw a group destined to become the greatest in the history of Turners High , as he addressed the tribe in this welcoming speech. 3 The three other tribes, although somewhat dubious of the new arrivals, welcomed them in a most kindly manner, speaking thus: We are confident, that they will reflect much credit, athletically as well as scholastically, not only on themselves, but also on their high school. 4 They even had ex¬ tensive carvings (Handbooks), so that the Ancients might avail themselves of the regulations and opportunities established for the betterment of all the tribes. 1 Webster “Ancient History , Chapter I, page 1. 2 From the •’Records , office of the Principal, T.

New Archi¬ tecture Raises the Standards of the Later Ancients -• Jewelry un¬ covered in excai at ions CHAPTER 111 The Decline of Paganism On the evening of September 25, the Tribe of ' 36 tendered an initiation to the Tribe of ' 39, which regarded this gracious hospitality as one of the highlights of the year 1935-36. Decorations were cut flowers of white and deep blue. Oreen streamers, hung from the firebrands, swung over the dancei s heads. Here, shy initiates learned, to some degree, a few rudiments of the social graces, as they danced to the rhythmic beat of Andy Canedy’s orchestra. More and more the Tribe began to acquaint itself with the opportuni¬ ties available. On October 11, they presented their first ceremony to com¬ memorate the early discovery of its present land of habitation; this was in honor of Columbus Day. Several selections were rendered by the young boys; and the young girls, not to be outdone, presented a playlet. 1 In common with all the primitive people, they greatly admired bodily skill and joyfully adopted the custom of the land in regard to athletic con¬ tests. Many strong youths joined in the number of those taking part. The Thirty-niners’ football team practiced in the morning and completed a suc¬ cessful season of five games. Over 30 youths participated in the sport; and 16 received their numerals for having participated in the required number of games. 2 SECTION B — CHAPTER I The Rise of the Tribe The Ancients made most rapid progress in acquiring the habits and cus¬ toms of their adopted abode. Quick to observe, they soon discovered why they should acquire a vast amount of knowledge, and eagerly absorbed words of wisdom from the lips of the learned. Unfortunately, only 145 members survived the first century of life, to enjoy the use of right new abodes, voted for by the Elders of the Coun cil. 3 The clink of chisels, the creaking of levers, and the hammering of mallets told the Ancients that an auditorium, a place for council, as well as a gym¬ nasium, a building for exercises and sport, were rapidly being erected. For this reason, social events had to be entirely postponed for the first half century. The Ancients eagerly awaited the advent of the dedication ceremonies for their new structure, for then their hope of having more building space wo uld be fulfilled. In the first half of the century, members of the tribe selected a style for rings, the only jewelry evidence during the period. 4 These rings are still worn and serve as a means of recognizing members of the Tribe. 1 “Netop”, Vol. XIXX, No. 3 2 “Netop”, Vol. XIX, No. 7. 3 “Netop”, Vol. XX, No. 1. 1 “Netop”, Vol. XX, No. (!.

The football team played with a nearby tribe of Amherst, and the time¬ keeper was using an old-time stop watch. Whenever a “time-out” was taken the official pressed the plunger and the hand went back to 0. With¬ out the officials realizing it, the regulation ten-minute period turned out to be a marathon lasting for 25 minutes. Thus, through an error, was estab¬ lished the “longest quarter ever played in football history.” 1 In this brief spa ce, it is impossible to give more than a merest sketch of the aims, the life, and the character of the people of the Dark Ages. Yet, the spirit of the nation is evident even in this slight picture,—the courage and enterprise, the independence and unswerving allegiance to its tribe and nation. 1. A Portion from tlie rending notes of « cultured noble living; during; the nge How the people held tlielr festivals, and the culture of the period Unluntr ®wn Sdtr (gnlhrtt Agr CHAPTER I Life and Government Life during the Golden Age was a busy, stirring affair. The era was marked not only by gorgeous festivals, but also by extensive development of government. A great change had taken place during the years. Lords and ladies developed from the invading hordes who first had established them¬ selves in the same location. Manners and customs raised the civilization from an uncouth state to one of high achievement. Self government began to develop when a committee of ten members was selected to draw up a ballot for officers of the people. When the ballot was ready the members elected for their governing officers: Chester Kulch, president; Howard Luippold, vice-president; Christine Haeussler, secretary ; Rosemary Carroll, treasurer; Raymond Slifer, historian. Miss Helen Mc- Gillicuddy was appointed advisor for the lords and ladies of the age. CHAPTER II The Age of Happiness Extensive preparations were made for the great celebration of the cen¬ tury. First came the great ball, called the Junior Promenade. The large gymnasium looked like a huge outdoor garden with its many trees, upon which artificial flowers were hung; the rail fences, the stone walls, and the animals of the forest made the setting truly beautiful. But, even more realistic was the repr esentation of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, main motif for the celebration. Nearly three hundred nobles and ladies danced to the strains of the Knights of Rhythm, and approximately six hundred spectators looked on from the balcony. 2 1 Quoted by permission of United Press News Association. 2 Netop .

Over seventy lords and ladies had previously ‘‘tried-out” for the event two months before, but only eight were chosen for the program. Everyone did an excellent piece of work, but only three persons could be winners. First prize was awarded to Justine Braun for her excellent rendition of “Mercedes.” Whitfield Moretti won second prize with “Crime Its Own Detector.” Olaf Hoff took third prize, giving the selection Brotherly Love.” 1 So ended the celebration of the Golden Age. It was marked by drama, music, and dancing, of great beauty and splendor, and will long hold an im¬ portant place in the memory of the people. lUiUtmr Slim ' Ehr fflniimt Ayr CHAPTER I The Turning Point At the turn of the age, one hundred eighteen Ancients had survived the centuries of training; then, to continue until they had completed their work. Using the ballot system, the Modernite re-elected the same officers whom they had chosen for the Golden Age. 2 Nine of the members of the Modern Age played their last season of football for their Alma Mater. They helped to establish a new Western Massachusetts record, scoring two hundred seventy-nine points for the season. Two other records were also made—namely, the place-kicking record, by Francis Dolan, and the individual high-scoring record by William Prohovich. 3 The team also gained national recognition, rating fourth among all the schoolboy teams of the nation, according to the Louisana sports association, sponsors of the national high school football champion¬ ship game. CHAPTER II The Ancients at Their Height Not to be outdone by the success of the Golden Age in the line of drama, fifty-five Modernites “tried-out” for fourteen available parts in “I Plave Five Daughters,” English stage production of Jane Austen’s novel, “Pride and Prejudice.” 4 The setting was a morning room in an English home of the eighteenth century. From this vantage point, fluttery Mrs. Bennet attempted to marry off her five comely daughters. This she did with much success. “I Have Five Daughters” was an ambitious dramatic at¬ tempt and it truly rates as the finest performance of character and dialogue of the Age. The dignified citizens of the Modern Age found it necessary to select a Good Citizenship Pilgrim to represent their nation. This they did when the loyal patriots chose Rosemary Carroll as their finest representative. 5 1 “Netop”, Vol. XXI, No. 14. 2 “Netop”, Vol. XXII, No. 2 3 Netop”, Vol. XXII No. 5 I “Netop , Vol. XXII, No. 5 5’ Netop”, Vol. XXII, No. 10 Puce Forty-seven TI lINKItS l ' Al.I.S HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 1 ! .!!� 1.

After all consid¬ erations were concluded an excellent motto was approved of—“Magis esse quam videri,” which translated means ‘‘It is better to be than to seem.” Carrying over the motif of the Promenade of the Golden Age. the “Snow White flower was selected as an appropriate choice. The selection of colors had been proceeding ever since the life of the Ancients had begun. The banners of orange and white wave on high now and forever more. CHAPTER III The End of an Epoch Through a long course of training and discipline, the survivals of the ages at last attained what they were pleased to call their peak. By virtue of their long standing in this country of frequent change, they claimed for themselves a certain superiority, a peculiar dignity of position. Nor were the reasons for this supremacy lacking. Ever divinely discontented, seeing and striving for the better and the best, at last they attained noble heights, from which, looking backward, they could see the slow but sure growth through the centuries, and from which, looking forward, they could catch glimpses of even better things that some day they might obtain, till at last they might truly “seem” and be “the best. ’� K« Forty-eight T1 H KHS FVI.LS HIGH .SCHOOL YEAR HOOK Ivy Poem lioxeninry Carroll We planted today an ivy vine, Unassuming . . . tiny . . . weak In an obscure corner, an ivy vine Whose blind roots there a home will seek.

Athletic Field, three thousand people are already in their places, waiting for Stenard’s Steaming Spitballs to draw the cream out of Clark’s Skimmilk Dairy Nine. In one corner of the field, Frank Wojtasiewicz pitches them over for prac¬ tice to Moretti ' s automatic ball retriever. In another corner, we find Flliot Krainson and Frank Sojka trying to fix up a date for Perry’s Gill Jam Session with Julia Bocon and Veronica Bakula. Suddenly the crowd’s attention is attracted by a sneeze from none other than Celina Breault. By the way, folks, this ball game will be broadcast over station WDON, owne d and operated by that flash from Riverside, Donald Call. It will be announced by Ray Slifer and sponsored by the Fletcher Real Estate Agency. The game hasn’t started yet so wild howls of the Martineau and Braun Cheering Squad are being drowned out by those of the Montague Milk Maids, led by Janet Newton and Dorothy Flicks. The game is about to start now and Umpire Bertrang announces that Snake-Ball Jones and Ed Smiarowski are the batteries for the dairy men while Breezy-Ball Marsh and Vest-Pocket Dubreuil for the Spitballs will start the game off with a bang. The crowd begins to roar as the slugger, Francis Giknis, marches in followed by his right hand man, Robert Bourdeau, the brains of the outfit. Behind them come bodyguards, Eugene Schwozec and Edward Dlugosz, who keep an eagle eye out for such radicals as Ed Petruski and Kas Wozniak. After the ball is finally thrown, Tetu Kulch comes up for bat and slashes the horsehide down to the shortstop, Charlie Molongoski. Next Bob Bour- beau knocks a foul ball which hits Mr. Lorden’s chief rough-houser, Richard Stone, who immediately starts a riot. The insurrection is soon suppressed by that Irish Chief of Police, Francis Dolan and his able assistants, Stanley Cislo, Leo Caouette and Edward Siradejko. The ambulance, a Makarewicz V-16 with a new paint job by that artist, Richard Long, is driven out to the grounds by Bill Beaubien. The wounded victims are then comforted by those dazzling nurses, Lucille Sullivan, Stella Sojka, Monica Tranoski, and Helen Shumway. Fortunately, the bleachers at the stadium, which were designed by Architect Schuhle, proved strong enough to withstand the commotion. Now that the excitement is all over, the game continues with John Dolan driving the only ball into the woods. While the bat-boys, John Ryan, Henry Noga, and Edward Dranzek search desperately for the ball, Wilson relieves the monotony by leading his Bellowing Blowers in a stirring march, written by Christine Haeussler, who is now a distinguished music critic, pianist and composer. Among the first chair musicians of this rarely harmonious group are Dot Reynolds, tooting away on the licorice stick; Cecile Hamelin, play¬ ing the shoe horn; Gus Christian, going to town on his bazooka; Annette Partenheimer, the star pumper; Dick Burrill, piccolo virtuoso; and Merrill Tibbetts, beating the drum occasionally. Since the ball has still not been found, let’s gaze around to find some Tl RIVERS FALLS IIM. II SC 111)01, YEAR HOOK 1039 other members of the class of 1939. Stuck way up ou the bleachers, is that famous dancing team, Banash and Thompson, while not far from them is the ' I timers Falls librarian. Adeline Bastarache. We also find Yab Zukowski. the deep-sea fisherman, no doubt telling a “big one to Emil Wiacek, an A No. 1 authority on all matters pertaining to meat. In the $1.10 boxes are such dignitaries as that C. P. A., Olaf Hoff; debu¬ tants, Mary Margaret Hazelton, sitting with Mary Klaiber, the leading agnarian Opera Singer of the Metropolitan ; Playboy Alec Kostrzewsky ; Dorothy Simkus, a renowned poet with Helen Urban, a reporter for the Sicard Tribune, and last but not least, Marion W heeler and Eleanor Wonsey who have recently married millionaires from New York City. In another section are Mike Kondrat and Charles Bergiel. whose fleet has just come in ; and here’s that kind-hearted benefactor, Claire Fisette, buying Charlotte Dziadziak’s youngest a box of popcorn from Cecile Char- est ' s stand. While all this happens, chief bouncers, Kulis and Prohovich, see to it that no one jumps the fence but since Dresser, Stanley and Sutton look rather guilty, probably there have been a few “slip-ups.” A few of our alumni never get lonesome for the T. F. H. S. because they are now teachers there. These include Pauline Fugere, Alice Balchunas, and Cecelia Piecuch in the commercial department; Rosemary Carroll, that beloved State College graduate; Virginia Hinds and Helen Venskowski who are instructors in Joan Koch ' s kindergarten for all boys between the ages of fifteen and twenty; and Howard Luippold. who teaches the innocent freshmen to become go where you want and do what you please” seniors in three easy lessons. The ball has just been found but before we return to the game’s pro¬ ceedings, why not know why some of the class high-lights aren’t taking ' in the world’s screwiest ball game? After consulting the Symphony Snoop column of the “up to the minute” Hartlyville Newspaper, we find that Win Chapin and Donna Van Valkenburgh haven ' t shown up yet since they are loo busy consoling the wounded Gill sailors. Profressor Gingras is also too absorbed in perfecting his perpetual motion machine which was started in Mr. Shumwav ' s physics class, way back in 1938. Hilliard’s Circus is away on an engagement and therefore took those human insects (jitterbugs to us) Helen Hoynoski. Delphia Kania, Elaine Godin, and Rae Ducharme. Marie Stewart and Shirley Thornton, those serene serenaders, work at John Girard’s night club so they’re still sleeping. Rose Krol. Dorothy McClary. and Mildred Sulda, and Gert Treml, all secretaries, are working diligently in the properous Napikoski and S. Molongoski tool shop. It seems impossible to locate those mystery women, Nellie Kestyn, Mary Mleczko, and Helen Siradejko but if anyone’s interested just go right to the Morin and Olekswicz Lost and Found Bureau. Betty Carroll is now rounding up her Girl Scouts so that means the last inning of the game has come. At the close of this “pie-eyed” duel, the farm hands have slaughtered the city slickers so “Aufwiedersehen until next year at this time when the Turners Falls Injuns will scalp the South End Pale Faces. Pas;e Fifty-one Tl RIVERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR ROOK 11)39 FROM SENIOR PENS WHEN AUTUMN COMES TO OUR TOWN Our town is a small country settlement in Western Massachusetts. It is located in the Connecticut Valley and the land is very fertile, the forest is plentiful both with timber and game. When autumn comes to our town the people are busy worl ing to get read y for the coming winter. The farmers are gathering their crops from the fields and storing them in their barns and storehouses The corn is ready for husking, the apples are ready for the cider mill, and the pumpkins and squash are ready for Thanksgiving. The men and boys go out in the woods with their guns, trying their marksmanship on any game they see. The smaller boys are seen raking the leaves from the lawns and in the kitchen the women are canning and preserving food for the winter. On the ballpark a group of boys are playing foot¬ ball. Shirts are torn, noses are bleeding, bodies are bruised, hair is pulled, and fists are flying as each boy tries to get the ball and make a goal. A few boys, unable to play football, are seen flying kites while others are reading in the house or doing something else for entertainment. Early this particular autumn a happening occurred v.hich is not experienced every autumn or year. In fact not one person of the present generation can re¬ call ever seeing one in this part of the country before. Preceded by a week of rainfall a hurricane hit us with enough force to cause considerable damage and trouble, not only to our town but to all the towns near us. Trees were knocked down that were in the path of the storm, chimneys were blown off the roofs, roofs of houses were broken, and whole houses and barns were blown over by this great wind. The rain caused the rivers, streams, and brooks to overflow 7 , causing people to move out of their homes. Some of the unfortunates were drowned when trying to escape the rushing volume of angry water which caused washouts on roads when it came off the hills in gushing streams. Dams, bridges, people, houses, barns, and trees were a few of the objects the flood-waters took with its raging rivers. Many years will pass before the people of our town will fully recuperate from this catastrophe. Although the hurricane caused considerable damage it did not take away any of the permanent beauty from our town. I think our town is one of the finest towns in autumn. It is situated in a valley with hills around it. a river runs through it and the beautiful colored foliage in the surrounding hills makes a very lovely picture. —A. Kostrzewski MIDSUMMER NIGHT On silvery slippers the moon creeps tonight; Floating through the heavens in a gown of white, This is an evening on which the fairies play, While the moon is making night as fair as day. The tired leaves have ceased their frollicking, The sleeping birds no longer wish to sing; For quickly the night shook her blankets out, And the Children of Nature have spread them out. —Nellie Kestyn ONLY THE MOUNTAINS Mount Washington was an island in a sea of fog, as the sun rose out of Boston Bay. The sun climbed higher, and the misty tide receded, leaving the Presi¬ dential Range sparkling in the clear September sun¬ light. A man stepped out of the doorway of the moun¬ tain-top shelter, and shouldering a pack, turned his eyes toward Mount Adams, six miles away. As the solitary figure hiked through the granite fields of the summit and down the precipitous descent, the mountain be¬ came alive with activity. The mountain road was dotted with automobiles and hikers, and the locomotive of the cog railway began once more its snail-like ascent. The man treked ever downward through fields of naked granite toward the green of the valley. The man’s shadow grew shorter and shorter as he laborious¬ ly traversed the steep notch between the two peaks. Before beginning the upward ascent he stopped to rest and to eat his noonday meal. It was unbelievably quiet. The shrill whistle of a locomotive floated through the still mountain air, and again quiet reigned. The scene v as one of indescribable desolation. Down in the ravine were trees; green, living things, but on the mountain-top was nothing, nothing but rock. The man suddenly felt a strange feeling sweep over him. It was the sensation of being very near to the clouds and very, very far from men. The solitary hiker was not a mountain man, tut an adventuresome college youth, eager to explore the mountains but ignorant of their dangers. Even as he finished eating, the neighboring peaks changed from sparkling blue to sombre grey. The once blue sky changed rapidly to an ominous black, and a shadow fell across the mountains. The man hastily shouldered his pack and resumed the steep ascent o ' Mount Adams. But a great change had occurred. The pack that had weighed twenty-five pounds in the morn¬ ing now weighed fifty, and the legs that had begun the journey so lightly now found the slope very steep in deed. A little panicky, he redoubled his efforts to reach the summit, oblivious of the storm clouds scudding out of the north ’, est, and the lonesome wail of the locomotive in the distance. He was once more in the open, trekking along the skyline trail. It w ' as suddenly cold, and the wind, whipping across the barren wastes of rock, chilled him to the bone. The very aspect of the mountains had changed. Gone was their dynamic grandeur, and in its place, ominous, dire portent. The neighboring peaks were now obscured by low scudding clouds. The wind increased, and the temper¬ ature dropped alarmingly. Panic-stricken, the man broke into a run. Wind-driven sleet cut his face like a knife. The trail, obscured by the blinding storm suddenly disappeared. He stopped abruptly, and began searching for the trail markers. Fear suddenly gripped his heart as he realized he was hopelessly lost. His limbs were seized by the biting cold. Both fire and shelter were impossible. Salvation lay only in reaching the Mount Adam’s shelter, where he knew were warmth, !ood and companionship. He ran on blindly through the storm in frantic haste. He repeatedly fell into snow-covered crevices. Blindly, groping, he stumbled onward into the ever darkening realm of oblivion. Strange faces floated through his confused brain. Strange voices, murmur¬ ing . And fifty feet away a fire was roaring in a fire¬ place, food, human companionship, voices, murmur¬ ing • ■ ■ • —W. Moretti r. ' iKe Fifty-two TI IIXERS FAI.LS IIU.II SCHOOL YEAR HOOK — |93� WHY NOT! Big Blackbird was worried as he wandered along the lanks of the Connecticut with his head in the clouds, literally, in the clouds, for he was a rather large Indian. Big Blackbird was worried because he was in love with Little White Dove, the most beautiful souaw of his tribe and Little White Dove didn’t like big feet. This was very unfortunate for Big Blackbird had such large feet that he used to catch moose by picking up a few in his toes as we do marbles. Now Little White Dove was rather delicate and objected to Big Blackbird’s immense appendages and emphatically told him so. This was the cause of Big Blackbird’s depression that lovely day; he was trying to think of a way to reduce his feet. Big Blackbird was rather preoccupied as he strolled by fluffy white clouds, so he didn’t see a little mound of rock in his path—a mound which he had heard called Mount Sugarloaf by the white men. He stubbed his toe on the rock, knocking off a large piece, giving the mountain the peculiar formation it has today. This angered Big Blackbird for it interrupted his thinking. Violently, he picked up the fragment of the rock and threw it—a mighty heave —up the river. Part of the fragment dropped into the river at what is now Turners Palls, made an island blocking the course of the river and diverting it into two streams. The rest of the rock broke into pieces and skimmed along the river with such speed that when ' they came to the bend in the river where the French King bridge is now, the pieces could not turn the curve and drove themselves into the rock along the river. We call this queer form of rock, pudding rock, today. Only one small fragment turned the curve and settled in the river a little farther on. A French King is said to have landed on that small stone a few years later. And Little White Dove was so delighted at Big lackbird’s strength that she forgave him his big feet and married him the next day. Their descendants are now pitchers on Turners Falls High School baseball teams under the leadership of big Chief Lorden. —R. Carroll “NO CAOWS THERE” “If you want to see your cousin,” said my uncle, just go down the ‘lane’ and across the ‘crick’ to the ‘south forty’.” “Now,” I mused to myself, “what in the world does he mean by the ‘south forty’?” You can imagine how a New Englander would feel transplanted to the middle west, trying to learn the new language of the country! But it’s the easiest language to master. One hears all about ‘sections’, ‘half sections ' , ‘quarter sections’, ‘west eighties’. Since the country is the agricultural center of the world, naturally you ' d expect to hear these terms in relation to the sizes of the farms. A ‘section’ is only 640 acres, ' half section’ 320. ‘quarter section’ 160, and of course an ‘eighty’ is just SO acres. In the early history of the middle-west the govern¬ ment laid out the country in mile squares, much in the fashion of a checker board. If you wish to see a cer¬ tain neighbor, all you have to do is ‘go two miles west, two miles north, and it’s the first house on the left’. Simple isn ' t it? Much simpler than saying here. “Take your first right up at the corner, go straight ahead on the dirt road for about a mile and take the right again. You go up a steep hill, take the right again and it’s the second house on the left.” When a young man starts in to own land he usually buys an ‘eighty’. Then when his crops are good and he has earned enough money after a few years, per¬ haps he can buy an adjoining ‘eighty’ and so have a ‘quarter section’ to form. He keeps looking forward to owning more land. About the farmyard and buildings on the west and north sides, one sees a ‘willow row’. Perhaps there are other kinds of trees, too. but it’s the willow that’s most prominent. However, you wonder why anyone would pick willow for a grove, where there are so many other kinds of trees available—the spruce, the oak, maple, pines—almost every kind. But it ' s the willow that makes the belt ‘wind-break’, and a good ‘wind-break’ is one of the most important parts of a mid-western farm. In late fall, winter, and early spring the winds roar over the land with terrific force. If once you realize how strong a prairie wind can be, you realize also how necessary a good ‘wind-break’ must be. When one gets down to the real art of farming, he hears that the corn has been ‘laid-by’; later the corn is ‘picked and husked’. ‘Laid-by’ simply means it has been ‘plowed’ for the last time, or rather cultivat¬ ed for the last time. But corn-picking and husking isn’t performed as you ' ve seen it done. A man with a team goes out to the field, starts down two rows picking each ear from the stalk, rips the husk off, and tosses the golden ear into the wagon box. After he lias a ‘jag’, he brings in the load, shovels it into an ‘elevator’ which elevates the corn into a ‘corn crib’. ‘Corn cribs’ are larger than most houses here, and hold four or five thousand bushels of corn and three or four thousand bushels of oats. When the oats are ripe and ready to be cut the ‘harvester’ is oiled up. Coon the oats are cut, tied, and bundled by the reaper. Later on the oats are ‘threshed’ in a huge ‘threshing machine’. At dinner time during threshing season one sits down to an enormous dinner in the farmhouse. Enormous is the only word which adequately describes such a meal. There ' s every sort of victual on the table and all you can possibly eat. There are sometimes twenty or thirty mouths to feed, for the farmer threshes in a ‘ring’ composed of several of his nearby neighbors. Neighbors help each other out. Sometimes, but rarely, produce is bought from a ‘truck patch’, or as we would say, ‘from a truck gard¬ ening farm’. What a change of speech! But so interesting that one is never conscious of the change—that is, never conscious of the change until he has mastered the language! —Raymond Slifer LOVELY THINGS So many lovely things are green. All nature in the spring is seen In robes of color trimmed with green. The posies toll their pretty heads While dancing in their flower-beds Each flecked with yellows, blues and reds With greens among them like great threads The Blue-green seas are crystal clear They reach all countries far and near And bring to all to whom they appear Their clear green waters and good cheer. The trees are decked with blossoms tight That gladden the hearts of all in sight. The foliage makes a picture bright For the queenly green in all its might. The wonders of nature are so keen Our hearts should really be serene When spring brings ’round her yearly screen So many lovely things are green. —Joan Koch Piisre Fifty-three Tt RIVERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 1939 A SONG OF THE SEA By Rosemary Carroll Characters—Father Reilly known to the members of his little seaside parish as Father Jim. Dominic Martinelli. a fisherman. The scene is a room of the rectory of a small sea¬ side town. The room is small, simply decorated but cheerful with the colors of the sea, sun and sand brought inside. A door in the back is flanked on either side by large windows which give a glimpse of sea and sky. On the left there is a couch. On the other side of the stage are two chairs and a table, upon which there are some books held by ship book- ends. On the wall over the couch is a crucifix and above the table a copy of “The Last Supper.” The lighting is rather dim as though the sun was trying to pierce storm clouds. Throughout the play there is a constant, regular crash of breaking surf. There is a man, a priest, sitting in one of the chairs, playing a violin. He is playing Sibelius’ “Valse Triste” and the tempo of the music and the rhythm of the waves concur so that the first beat of every fourth measure is accompanied by a crashing wave. A man knocks gently and enters. He is dressed in the garb of a fisherman and his slicker and sou’¬ wester are still glisten ing with water from the recent storm. Dominic: (He hangs his coat and hat on a rack standing in the corner behind the couch.) Hell, Father •Tim. I heard you playing when I was going by and so I came in to listen a while. (He strides to the other chair and stretches out comfortably.) What’s that you’re playing? Father Jim: (still playing) It’s “Valse Triste.” Do you like it? Dominic: Yes, it’s pretty. It seems to go with the sea today. Father Jim: It goes with the sea in all its moods, Dominic. It has the sea’s rhythm, its sadness and its exaltation. It’s triumphant—it’s mournful—just like the sea out there, fitting its every mood. Dominic: (Going to the window and looking out.) Look at her out there, Father—big green waves, even and regular. .Just a half an hour ago she was black and wild. (Turning and half sitting on the window sill.) The Belle couldn’t sail because of the storm. I’ll bet Tony loses a lot of money, too. The mackerel came earlier than they expected and Tony wasn’t ready for them. Father Jim: That’s tough on Tony. He planned to be married on the money he made this season. I hope he can make it up. Dominic: (Looking out to sea again.) It’s funny how she rules us, isn’t it, Father? She ' s almost God to us. (Father Jim stops playing to listen.) We’re born here with the sea in our blood. We play in her as kids and learn to know her and to fear her. She begins then to rule our lives. Since fishing is the only way to make a living here, she controls us there. Then perhaps we learn to love—so she drags us away from the ones we love, making our love deeper—or killing it. She makes us like hers elf—uncertain—uncertain in emotions—in thought. She drives us insane with fear or grief or hardens us into dull unemotional stoics filled with her steady monotonous throbbing. I went away—sure—even to college—but 1 came back—I had to. The sea had me hypnotized—it was born in me. I came back like all the natives who go away—I came back to be a fisherman and toy of the sea’s whim. (Standing suddenly and speaking forcibly, defiantly.) 1 believe, Father, it is God. Father Jim: No, Dominic, the sea is not God. It’s like this music (he begins to play again)—-it is the spirit of God. He put his spirit into Sibelius and Sibelius wrote a masterpiece. He put his spirit into the sea and it seems to rule life here. But Sibelius’ music matches the moods of the sea and man can’t match God. It is his spirit in both that makes them alike. Dominic: That’s logical, Father—perhaps I see— I’m not sure . . . Father, look—those men are coming here. Someone has been hurt and they’re bringing him here. (The stage grows darker and the roar of the waves are a little louder and faster. The two men fling open the door and stand silently, alertly waiting for the men to enter. They come in solemnly, glanc¬ ing fearfully and sympathetically at Dominic. They are carrying the body of a small boy. Dominic: (Rushing to the men and seizing the boy.) Oh God—it’s my son—my son! (Father .Tim leads him to the couch and makes him lay the boy upon it. He falls to his knees sobbing with his head on his arms. He murmurs prayers at the boy’s head and the others kneel solemnly.) Father Jim: I think you’d better go now, men, Dominic would rather face this alone. I’m glad you brought him here. Man: The waves washed him off the dock in the storm, Father. If there’s anything we can do to help. Father Jim: Thanks men. (They go out and he turns back to the still sobbing man.) Take it easy Dominic. It was God’s will, man, and you couldn’t have changed it. Dominic: (Raising his head.) God’s will—God’s will. It wasn’t God, Father. It was the sea, the damned cursed sea. (Goes to the window and crying wildly, shakes his fist at the sea.) It was you—it couldn’t be God—no true God would be so cruel. There is no God or my son wouldn’t have died—there is no God—only a devil sea. There is no God, I tell you, there is no God. Father Jim: (Sharply and sternly.) Dominic! (They stand in silence for a moment staring at each other. Then Father Jim throws open a window and turns Dominic toward it. The roar of the sea grows louder. He stands behind Dominic, his hands on his shoulders, and holds him quiet as he speaks.) You don’t mean that, Dominic. Listen to it—listen to the sea. Here that regular, strong surging rhythm? That’s courage and faith—the courage and faith that is born in all men of the sea. Listen . . . you can hear it, too. (They stand for a long minute in silence. The stage grows gradually lighter until it seems as though the sun has finally conquered the clouds. Softly the strains of “Valse Triste” are heard in the tempo of the waves. Suddenly Dominic feels the majesty of God and kneels sobbing at the priest’s feet. Dominic: There is a God, Father. I w r as wrong. Forgive me. Father Jim: Don’t ask it of me Dominic, ask it of God. Dominic: Forgive me, God and give me strength. (A ray of light falls on Dominic’s bent head in bene¬ diction and the strains of “Valse Triste” swell to a triumphant chorous as the curtain falls.

Au revoir! ajfc Flfty- even 1939 Tl RISERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK — Passe Fifty-eight TI ' RSERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL. YEAR BOOK — I HAVE FIVE DAUGHTERS” OR Pride and Prejudice” 1 Have Five Daughters adapted by Margaret Mamara from the novel, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen was the play presented by the Class of 1939 before a capacity house in the high school auditorium. Miss Teed, the director, deserves the greatest credit for the excellent production. As the curtain rose we looked in upon one of the most beautiful rooms ever presented in a senior play. The scene was laid in the morning room of the Bennett home and was set with authentic furniture of that period. The play was about the attempts of a fond mother, Mrs. Bennett to get her five daughters married. The daughters and Mr. Bennett sometimes didn ' t approve of her methods but submitted. They were especially dis¬ pleased when on a visit to Brighton, Lydia eloped with a young officer, caus¬ ing quite a scandal and involving Mr. Darcy. Events seemed to conspire against the marriages of Elizabeth and Jane but in spite of the attempts of Miss Bingley and Lady Catherine de Bough to break off the affairs, Mrs. Bennett finally succeeded in getting her five daughters married. Alice Balchunas played the part of Mrs. Bennett, the fluttering mother who tactlessly schemed to get her five daughters married. Opposite Alice in the role of Mr. Bennett was Raymond Slifer the rather witty, intellectual but harassed father. Amelia Banash made the vivacious Lydia a living fig¬ ure and with her was the ever-present Kitty, her devoted sister played by Mary Margaret Hazelton. The two elder sisters, Jane and Elizabeth, were very touchingly portrayed by Christine Haeussler and Phyllis Carlisle. Elizabeth was proud and rather sarcastic, very much like her father and a favorite of his. Jane was just the opposite, being shy and retiring, sweet and gentle. The part of literary Mary was taken by Donna Van Valken- burgh. The suitors were Charles Bingley, Jane’s lover, Charles Bergiel; Fitzwilliam Darcy, Elizabeth’s lover, Howard Luippold; and Mr. Collins, the haughty clergyman. Elliot Krainson. The coquettish, interfering Miss Bingley was ably given by Lucille Sullivan ; Charlotte Lucas, the friends of the Bennetts and later Mrs. Collins, Monica Tranoski; Lady Catherine de Bourgh, the domineering aunt of Mr. Darcy, Helen Venskowski ; and the servant, Joan Koch. There were many other people without whom the play coidd not have been produced. The position of stage manager was admirably filled by Lorraine Martineau. Her assistants were Justine Braun. Harold Schuhle, and Olaf Hoff. Gertrude Treml had charge of the costumes, and Chester Ivulch as business manager did a marvelous job selling tickets. On the night of the play there were many capable ushers supervised by Francis Dolan. i a� ;e Fifty-nine PRO MERITOS TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR HOOK — 1 ! .

Throughout a year of hard work, we have built up a considerable repertory. The contest at Amherst was, probably, the most important occasion in our history. After last minute nervousness and considerable shaking of knees, we carried off a very good rating. We also participated in the Glee Club concert. The club has entertained at several meetings, among which are the Parent-Teachers’ Association, the Rotary Club, and several assemblies. e sang over WHAI on the Turners Falls hour at the Shea Theatre and have also sung from the studio in Greenfield. We, who are in the class of ’39, wish the Choral Club much success in the future. P««;e Sixty-one TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK — 1939 JUNIOR PROM l’� Kf SI � y-t vo TI KXEKS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK i� ::o Two Thirty-niners Go to the Prom A fairyland night of joy was passed in a fairyland bower and reigned over by Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the Junior Promenade of the Class of ’39. 1 gasped when I entered, it was like a picture from a story book. Cinderella’s fairy godmother had been present the night before and transformed the bare gym into a vivid Magic Forest. Dwarfs were every¬ where—peeping over the stone wall that ran around the gym, in among the trees festooned in blue, orange, and white flowers, peeping out from the trees around the receiving line, hiding in the corner and leaning against the railing. Huge bunches of balloon grapes hung from rafters and a bird perched in each of the baskets. Little animals, rabbits, squirrels, mice and deer—peeked out from under the many trees and flower-covered trellises. The orchestra were enclosed by a fence of benches, kegs, stumps and flowers. At the other end of the gym, the receiving line enclosure was made of a real rail fence. Snow White and Prince Charming stood guard at either end of the receiving line and they were surrounded by more trees. Halfway down the gym wall was that old meanie, the Wicked Queen. Opposite her was a replica of the Wishing Well. Soon the Knights of Rhythm began the music and we were taken through the receiving line . . . Good evening, Mr. Wrightson . . . Good even¬ ing, Mrs. Wrightson . . . G. E. (that’s good evening, but in an abbreviated form.) Mr. Burke . . . G. E. Mrs. Burke . . . and so on down through the rest of the line . . . Mr. and Mrs. Slifer . . . Mr. and Mrs. Moretti . . . Mr. and Mrs. Stenard . . . Mrs. Hazelton . . . Miss McGillicuddy (the gym looks lovely Miss McGillicuddy) ... Hi Kenny ... Hi Christine ... Hi Tetu . . . Well— that’s over. Then the Grand March began—it was lovely. Snow White and Prince Charming ltd it (they were Bernice Staiger and Paul Stenard, but 1 didn t tell. Annie; I didn’t want to disillusion her). Finallv the dancing began. I had four dances with Annie—she dances divinely. I whirled and whirled, drank some punch from the Wishing Well and then whirled some more. Then suddenly it was all over. In that magic setting it had seemed a magic night. The music (all requests, by the way) had made the hours dance as well as us and now it was the witching hour of midnight. So still humming snatches of song we danced up to Miss McGillicuddy, congratulated her and thanked her for such a wonderful Prom, then left quickly lest at the stroke of midnight the fairyland might vanish and we would find it all a dream. P. S. There was an aftermath to the Prom—almost a year later. When we got to be dignified seniors the class voted for our own living dwarfs and Arrie and 1 thought you might like to know the results.

They began their season playing at the football games and everyone remembers the part they played at that Thanksgiving Day game. Then they were represented at all the basketball games and even though our team did not play they gave a concert at M. S. C. during the tournament. Twice they played over station WHAI. Dur ing all these weeks they practiced continuously on the pieces with which they were to enter the competitions in May. At Amherst they were given A 1 rating, receiving nineteen A ' s and two B’s out of a possible twenty-one A’s. At Worcester they received another 1 rating and some very pleasant compliments. They were present at all the field days, the last one being at Turners, June 2, which event officially completed their season. ’afire Sixty-nine TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK li)H9 DANCE ORCHESTRA Standing: Mr. Perkins, Paul Dubreuil, Francis Reen, Rudolf Masek Merrill Tibbetts, Marcel Dion.

The Blue and White, headed by Captain Kulch, totaled 279 points in games against Chicopee, Northampton, Agawam, West- field, Holyoke, Gardner, Athol and Greenfield, to set an all-time scoring record in this state. Not one point was scored on Earl Lorden’s unbeaten, untied, unscored-on first eleven, although opponents managed to cross the goal three times while the reserves were in play. The mighty Powertown Indians ended the ' 39 season by putting eight nicks on their tomahawk, without a single defeat. Under the leadership of Captain Chet Kulch the Indians not only won the Valley League title but were considered for the national championship game at Baton Rouge, Louisi¬ ana. Out of the twenty-five teams considered Turners Falls was the fourth on the list. We also had three players on the All-Western Massachusetts team with Billy Prohovich as fullback, Junie Dolan as end, and Gerry Cadran as a guard. There were also many Turners Falls lads on the second and third teams, and receiving honorable mention. The team was made up of Ed Bourdeau and June Dolan at the end posts, Dick Burrill and Brother John Dolan playing tackles, Gus Christian and Gerry Cadran taking care of the guard positions, and Richie Gingras in the center of the line. Ed Dlugosz and Ray Slifer took active roles in the games by alternating with the linesmen. In the backfield romped Tetu Kulch, playing quarterback, Willie LaFrance and Maheen Skrypeck at the halves, and Baron Prohovich playing fullback. The first to bow to the Indian ' s supremacy was Chicopee with a final score of 20-0. Westfield was scalped by a 54-7 defeat. Holyoke fell be¬ neath our feet and was trampled upon until we took away thirty-three points and gave them none in return. Northamptoners went home with bowed heads after suffering a 41 - 0 loss. Athol was no match, and the game resulted in a 46-12 victory for Turners. Gardner had its hat high until the Indians shot it ofif with a 33-0 upset. Agawam never dreamed that Turners would give them a 34-0 trimming. We could not end the season, however, until we tamed our blood rivals from over the river. We had turkey for Thanksgiving, Greenfield suffering a 12-0 washout, had fish. The sports writers claim that our class was responsible for one of the best teams ever produced in Turners Falls, and thanks to the excellent coach¬ ing of Mr. Lorden, the Powertown fans may look forward to many more brilliant and victorious seasons. When a better team than this is built. Coach Earl Lorden will build it.

The Northampton Twin County Fair meet was another victory chalked up for Turners. The team also demon¬ strated its abilities by doing some fast stepping in the Spring, Amherst, Fitchburg, Athol, and Greenfield athletic meets. The members of our class who were an asset to the team were: Olaf Hoff, three years, and Alex Kostrzewsky, three years, two reliable men in the sprints.
