We entered high school with 164 stout-hearted boys and girls but in the short s] an of four years we have lost many by the way. That hrst _ ear we entered the dooirs bravely, but I ' m certain, a little nervously. Like buck privates we wandered around with a dazed look breaking rules un- consciously, but trying hard to lit into our places. At the Senior-Freshman Hop we made our first entrance into the e.xtra-curricular activities of the Turners Falls High School in which we were going to play a large part in the future. We had a freshman football team coached by Hr. Galvin. Our freshman football team was composed of boys who were later to make sports history at the ' I ' urners Falls High School. Richard Guy and Marcel Bonnctte were members of that freshman football team and later they became co-cai)tains of the varsity football team in their junior year. Joel Lorden and Cyril Desautels. coi-captains of this year ' s football team, were also members of that small group of freshman boys. Richard Webber. Leo Mann, Stanley Ifanash. Bomber Martin, Mel Cohen, and Murph Togneri, all varsity football jilayers, likewise belonged to that group which chalked uj) a record of four victories and two losses. With this record Mr. Lorden .-miled hap]iily for he felt certain he had many stars coming up to. the varsity ranks. Also our freshman year two members of our class, Helen Beaubien and Fileen Jacobus, ])articipated in the American Legion oratorical contest. Starting our sophc.more year we found that we had completed one fourth of our high school life. T had no more bewildered looks and foolish questions. Having passed one year successfully, 144 o.f us opened our books with new zeal. Now that we were really a part of the upper classes of the school we held our elections. Richard Guy was chosen our leader with Robert Cadren seco.nd-in-command, Helen Kulch secretary, Helen Jean Miller treasurer, and Richard Webber historian. We held our first formal event as a class, the Sophomore Social. The gym was decorated in the Thanksgiving manner with cornstalks, pumpkins and bright fall colors. It was during this year that we lost the services of two. of our trusted leaders, Mr. Richardson and Mr. Foley. They both entered the navy as ensigns. Page Forty-two “ Ai) Astra Pku Aspeev ” Turners Falls High School 1945 These men were well-liked and durinj - onr freshman year had oiven ns good advice and a tirm foundation for the years to come. In the follc ' wing September 109 of onr class enrolled for their third vear of school. After entering we found, however, that we were to lose to the armed forces, Mr. Sheff, a man well-liked by all students, in whose classes we laughed and learned. To start the year off the class reelected Dick Guy president, with Walter Schuhle vice-president, Helen Kulch was reelected secretary, and Helen Jean Miller treasurer, and we made Joanna Frawley onr historian. Next on the program was the .American Legion oratorical contest. Those partici[iating from our class were Dick (duy. Joanna F ' rawley who took third prize and Patrick Kelleher who won second [irize. d ' he football team that year was captained by twC ' juniors. Marcel Bonnette and Dick Guy. Having a football team captained by juniors was an unheard of thing in Turners’ history until the class of ’45 came along. ■Also that year a boys’ glee club was started composed largely cd football players. It was ably directed by Miss Argy and proved a success at all its performances. Then came our Junior Prom. Due to wartime shortage of jiaper and other supplies most od the decorations had to be made and painted by hand. The gym was decorated like an old-fashioned bouquet. It had a touch of old F ' rance in the decorations and it could easily be observed that some person with a French background had planned the decorations. iMany thanks were extended to Miss Porter, class advisor, Carol Schneider and Miss Des Ormeanx for the splendid decorations accom- plished in spite of war conditions. F ' cllowing close on the heels of the Prom was the junior prize speaking contest. At the tryouts for this contest the judges had a particularly hard time selecting eight contestants and four alternates, IMiss Teed had a list of twenty-five peoiple whom she said she could have used in place of the eight contestants. In this contest Helen Kulch took first prize for her fine dramatic speech. Patrick Kelleher took second prize for his stirring action-filled selection and Helen Beaubien von third with her humorous portrayal of a Southern family. Other contestants were Francis Sabato. John O’Connell, Ronald Kelly, Eileen Jacohus and Josephine Cislo. Alternates were William Thistle, David Long, Joanna F ' rawley and Lucille Paulin. Next we broke another tradition in the sports world, Rolland Leveille, a junior, was made captain of the baseball team. ICntering our senior year we learned to our great sorrow that Mr. Sheff had been killed in action, defending those ideals which he had taught us in his classes. .At once a committee was formed to dedicate a fitting memorial to our jiopular basketball coach. It was decided to get a jilaijue to be hung in the hall in his honor and to have from the class of ’45 a tro])hy awarded each year to the boy contributing most to the basketball team. Page Forty-three ■■ Ad Astra Pkr Aspera ” Tirxers Falls High School 1945 Then we held the Senior-h ' reslinuin dance welcoming the newcomers to the high school. The gym was made to depict ai fall scene. Next the class presented their senior play, “Our Town. by Thornton Wilder. It was an unusual aud new kind of play using no scenery and being entirely dependent upon the actors to hoild the attention of the audience. This play was presented two nights. The first night was a cold, snowy, blizzardy night on which the cast thought they would play to a near empty house. But much to the surprise and joy of all nearly 8CX) brave souls ventured forth into the wintry night to fill the auditorium. On the second night the auditorium was more than two-thirds full. This two night performance shows what a capable coach and wonderful class we have, to be able to put on a play two cold wintry nights, and have both nights a success. The American Legion oratorical contest was held once again in which John (TConnell and Ann Harlow, two members of our class par- ticipated. John O’Conne ' ll won first prize. ' I ' he intramural basketball games occurred with the seniors defending and winning chami)ions. The senior teams were the Links, victors. Black W idows. P38’s and Mustangs. Many of our classmates left us during our four years in high school. 1 will mention only those who have left ns during our senior year. W ' e lost both our president, Dick Guy, and our vice-president, Walter Schuhle, toi the navy; Robert Belado and Raymond Sullivan to the coast guard; Louis tirueling to the Army Air Forces; Louis Sojka to the army; IH ' nest Morin, John Raymond, Francis Sabato, Francis Togneri, and Joseph W asielcwski to the navy. (Fir class did many things. broLe old traditions and started new ones. W ' e went through four years of high school in which we took the bitter with the sweet. W ' e participated wholeheartedly in the Bond sales, scrap drive, old clothes collection, soap drive, paper drive and many others. Some of our classmates are this minute fighting that we might graduate. It is of them we should think today and of the future. It is an uncertain future but I am sure that we have the right foundation to make secure a world rocked with storm. Page Forty-four ' ■ All Astua Pkk Asi’kua ” Tl KM FaI.I,.

We feel that we’ve been an inspiration to all the English classes that will follow.

Foreign Diplomat Lorden is seated at the main table in conference with Prime Minister “Hottner” Mann. The music is definitely high class — Chicken Paulin ' s “Slick Chicks ’ and his “Jive Five or Six” with such musicians as Beverly Bartley, Winifred Gunn, Ann Harlow, Bob Belado, and Imelda Hamelin. At the moment song- stress Dolores Viens is rendering that ever popular “Sweet Adeline” by “Nel” Bonnette. The main dining room is done in pastel colors by those interior decora- to.rs Edna Weed, Pauline Sokoloksi and Genevieve Engerman while murals of the famous Schneider boy adorn the walls. Most of our crew has adjourned to the polka dot room where a sports conference is being held. The meeting is presided over by Freddie Neipp, the Babe Ruth of 1970. Over in the corner a hot and heavy discussion is going on. It seems Blake’s Bunch of Bad Ball players need one more member and are trying to bribe Longina Kania the manager of the Deer- field Academy Nine. We hastily depart from the scene before we are drafted into, playing first base. Returning- to the main dining- room we find that professional photo- grapher, Lill Gamelin, taking- pictures of our diplomats. Joanna Frawley. the owner, manager, publisher and sole subscriber of Frawley’s Gazette is rushing about madly interviewing anyone who will stand still long enough. Her love-lorn reporter, Eileen Jacobus, is handing- out her valuable informa- tion to anyone who will listen to her. As we gaze at the splendor about us, we realize the floor show is begin- ning. M. C. Guillaume Thistle has the situation well in hand as he starts things with that renowned Cicero Act ; Cyril and Alice those two magicians who with that other brother and sister act. Walter and Sophie, really amaze us. They are followed by Mel Co.hen and his two dancing- partners. Mel is wearing Fred Astaire’s famous dancing shoes. The spotlight is next focused on that roller-skating duo, Sullivan and Fortin, while o.ver in the corner Lucille Paulin, Irene Maziarz and Grace Traceski are pr eparing for their tumbling act.

Ifach had a knack for a different type of writing. Ruth Bowman liked light and humorous writing, Dorothy Saharceski had ambitions in the re- porting field, Arthur Sicard wrote about our boys entering the service, to mention only a few. Ann Harlow, Helen Jean Aliller, and Shirley Cronin ably solicited ads for both the Netop and yearbook, bile the Netop members were called upon to write throughc.ut the school year, the yearbook had concentrated efforts through about one month and then a few put o-n the finishing touches. All members did their share of interviewing and writing biographies. Some were chosen to write the will and prophecy while others wrote poems and com])iled lists of seniors in the services. Carol Schneider designed the coA ' er and did the art work. Under Miss Ayer’s able direction the Netop did its part in war work by sponsoring and publicizing all drives such as clothing. Red Cross, MAr Bond Sales and the Infantile Paralysis drive. Each member of both staffs worked, learned, enjoyed themselves and tried to make these enterprises better than tho se preceding them.

The Class of 1945 presents Our Town,” a play liy Thornton Wilder. Yes, here it was senior play night again. Ah, but this wasn ' t life other senior plays for on February 12, 1945 a second performance was held and once more to a capacity house. However, what else could he expected from the Class of ’45 and its grand array of talent? The entire play took place in Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire and revolved around the joys and sorrows of two families, the Webb’s and the Gibbs ' . The part of the stage manager, who introduced the various char- acters, did all of the necessary explaining and set up props I ' ight in front of the audience, was superbly portrayed by .John O’Connell. His able a ' sistants in setting up props were Lionel Bonnette and Raymond Mathieu. The first act dealt with the every-day life of Dr. and Mrs. Gibbs, (Francis Sabato and Mildred Zak) and IMr. and Mrs. IVebb, (Patrick Kelleher and Joanna Frawley). The atidience also met the children, Geor.ge and Rebecca Gibbs, (Donald Kelly and Winifred Cunn), and Walp- and Emily Webb (Helen Mille rand Helen Kulch). And of course, there were some of the more illustrious towns-folk such as the milkman, Howie Newsome, (William Thistle) the two paper hoys, £i and Joe Crowell (Cecila Zankin and Beverly Welcome), Simon Stimson (Walter Schuhle), the organist, Mrs. Soames, (Elaine Aldrich), the town gossip and Constable War- ren (Melvin Cohen). Valuable scientific information on the town was given by Professor Willard (Joel Lor- den ) . The beautiful wedcin.g scene was i;resentcd in the second act and the audience was greatly astonished when the b’ride and groom, Emily and George, walked down the ramp and up the aisle of the auditorium. Act HI. the most effective of all, showed Emily’s funeral and her entrance into the world beyond. The dead people who greeted her were Mrs. Gibbs, Simon Stimson, Mrs. Soames, First Dead Man (Raymond Hmieleski), Second Dead Man (Chester Kuklewicz), First Dead Woman (Longina Kania) and the Second Dead Woman (Marguerite Early). At the beginning of the act Sam Craig (Raymond Mathieu) and Joe Stoddard (David Long), the undertaker met in the giaveyard and discussed the old days. In the three acts the people of the town were re- presented by Constance Cray, Lucille Lambert, Bertha Foitin, Nora Ryan, Renee Day, Jeannette Chagnon, Carol Schneider, June Nadeau, Lucille Paulin, Eorothy Saharceski, Helen Beaubien. Therese Parks. Eileen CJir- I’ie, Josephine Cislo, Jean Couture, Imelda Hamelin. Arthur Sicard, and Raymond Hmieleski. The Woman in the Balcony (Irene Maziarz), the Man in the Audit- orium (Stephen Dirks), and the Lady in the Audit- orium (Dolores Viens), both suprired and fooled many people in the audience. The success of any such production depends largely upon those who work backstage. The stage crew con- sisted of Theresa Forcier. Shirley Fish, Irene Berat’d, Sophie Goly, Arthur Sicard, Anne McLaughlin, and Ray- mond Hmieleski. Much credit is due to the costume (ommittee, Imelda Hamelin, Marguerite Early, Bev- erly Bartley, June Nadeau and Shirley Cronin. John Raymond, our electrician, did a very efficient job on the lightning effects. Of course, we mustn’t forget Ther- esa Lobley’s fine organ music and Irene Berat’d and Heleti Kurtyka’s tnake-ttp artistry. Irette Maziarz served as assistatit to the coach. Perhaps, the most unttsi’.al thittg about the play was the fact that there vas no scettery. Everythiitg depend- ed on the a tittg. Any incident might have occttrred right here in Titrtters Falls. “Ottr Town” w;is tritly what we might call a ‘‘down-to-earth” play. No .account of the senior play could ettd without ex- teitditig the deepest gratitude to our coach.

The ( irks’ Glee Clnb directed hy Miss Argy was enthusiastically joined by the girls from all classes. They not only gave their usual fine ])erform- ance at the annual variety show but also presented a program Oif beautiful Christmas carols of all nations at the Christmas assembly. ' Pile Pioys ' Glee Club also directed by Miss Argy had an exceptionally active year and has become extremely popular since its formation two years ago. In additiciii to their part in the schocd ' s Variety Show and the Christ- mas assembly it was called upon to sing for the James Guy Memorial ser- vice, the Mens’ Club of the Congregational Church, the Football Piampiet, and the Teachers Convention held in Greenfield. The band under the direction of Mr. Warren I’righam performed in the annual variety shoav and also added spirit to the rallies, football games, the fair and the basketball tournament. Although the activities in which th.e band had formerly partcipated had been curtailed the members continued to be faithful and worked conscientiously to improve their pieces and learn new ones. Many freshmen and underclassmen joined the band, assuring it of continued good work when the experienced members leave. The Swingsters led by Mr. Perkins were also very active during this year. They provided music for the Teen-age dance sponsored by the Woman’s Club, and the Aeronautics Cluli dance and several Girl Scout dances. They also played at the Variety Show. W ith the money they earned they purchased blue music stands which were decorated bv Miss Des- Ormeaux and the art department. LINEAR BEAUTY (★) Beauty of line does not come under the common use of the word beauty which people think Oif as implying color. Beauty of line is employed in every art and in everything one may look upon. For exam[)le, in this room one can see it, on the ceiling in the regularity of the rectangular blocks and the even spacing of the strips. The intra-mural basketball trophy has this linear beauty, but it is not in any curlicues on the base, rather it is in the simplicity of it and the graceful lines of the statue. It is there in the pictures on the bulletin board, the grimness of the aircraft, in the stern lines cd MacArthur’s face, the fpuet solemnity of Lincoln’s portrait and the slow, easy smile of President Rooseyelt. Beauty is one of the essentials of man’s well-being and the good Lord h.as provided for it no matter where humble man may turn. — David lA)ng Pa.cre Sixty-seven An Astra Per Aspera Turners Fai.ls High Sihool 1945 Page Sixty-eight “ Ai) Astra Pku Aspeka ” Turners Falls Hit;ii School 1945 ATHLETICS TRACK ' I ' lvAAI Back Row: P.

Competition and participation in contests has dropped considerably because of this fact, but Turners has stayed in what it could. In the senior class there are members who have been with the track team since their freshmen days beginning in September 1941. Since 1941 and up to the present time, the track team has participated in 7 meets. Of these seven they have taken 5 first places. The first places are: four at the Franklin County Fair in sucessicn and one at Springfield when they won the Class B meet. Besides these they have taken a fourth place at Springfield and have participated at Mt. Hermon. The letter men for track from the senior class are: Phil Roth, Cyril Desautels, Kdward Martin, Rolland Leveille, Richard MTbber and Russell Dion. Pugc Si.Tty-nine TUKXF.RS FALLS Ilini!

Before the season was half over everyone was heard saying that this was another ’38 team, but as almost all good things come to. an end. so did the six-game-winning streak of the Indians. d ' he first game was at home with Adams. The Indians won 20-7. The second game was another victory for Turners as they defeated Tech 19-0 in Springfield. By this time everyone was for ciir dear old Turners High. The third game brought forth an even greater victory as the local bo_ s beat ' Hamp 40-0. The fourth Indian victim was Drury. This time we were on toi fry a score of 27-0. Then came another 1 ' nrners victory when they sent Athol home defeated 39-0. In the sixth game Gardner was the second team to score on Turners, but that didn’t mean anything as the Indians had 41 and Gardner only had 19. The seventh game proved to be the turning point of our season. W’ith a couple of bad breaks and a fumble, Westfield defeated Turners 6-0. The lollowing Saturday found the local boys on the losing end again. This time it was Agawam by a score of 18-7. Then came the Turkey Day Game. This proved to be the third straight defeat for the Indians as things seemed to go wrong at just the right time. Greenfield won this game by a score of 12-7. The seniors on the team were Co-Capts., Joel Lorden and Cyril Deasau- tels, Richard Webber. Edward Martin. Raymond Hmieleski, Phil Roth, Leo Mann, Francis Sabato, Francis Togneri, Richard Guy and Mel Cohen. — — “ON MODEL BUILDERS” (•k) After carefully studying all the aspects of a certain hobbyist’s life I have reached the conclusion that three-fourths of the species are human. The model builders’ habitat is any room in the house which is seldom entered and where his precious models will be safe. After he takes pos- session no one enters and he seldom comes out. There have been cases of model builders refusing a porterhciuse steak because, “I can’t let go till this thing dries.” The condition of this den is amazing-. The proper work cannot be done unless there is at least three-fourths of an inch of balsa chips on the floor. The chairs and tables must be coivered with pans and books and assorted strips of wood. The work bench must be littered or the freedom of space will ruin the model. The air must reek with the smell of glue and doipe and balsa and a little gas and oil. Alodel builders speak the same language as you and I. Only occasionally do they lapse into the jargon including dihedrals, airfoils, polyhedrals and full cantilever monospar wings. The real thrill of the builder is to i ut his model into, operation. It is desirable that it crash for then the hobbyist tucks it under his arm and with glassy eyes walks off muttering something like. ‘Til have to decrease the negative angle of attack on that stabilizer and off- thrust the motor because of the tor(pie.” — Ronald Kelly Paoe Seventy-one Ad Astr- Per Aspera ” Turners Falls High School 1945 CARLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM Top Jiow: Lucille I’aulin, Kathleen AlcGurftan, Jacaiueline Carroll, Susan Smith, JIrs.

Irene Maziarz, Grace Traceski and Elizabeth Christian featured at the guard poisition. The girls’ basketball team will lose Cecelia Zankin, Grace Traceski, and Irene Maziarz, but other talented i)lay- ers are anxious to take over their positions. In November intramurals began and lasted two weeks. One of the out- standing facts in intramurals is that the Class of ’45 have been runner up in the finals for the past years. At no other time in the history of the schcol school has this happened. ’I ' he “Class of ’45 was well represented for the senior girls won the chami)ionship.

For the past three years one of the outstanding features of Field Day has been the tumblers. Under the able directions of Mrs. Reidy a group of girls have learned to do the Flying Angels , rolling cartwheels, difficult and colorful pyramids and somersaults. The tumblers also take part in the Variety Show. A drill team has been selected by Mrs. Reidy and will show its talents in marching at the Field Day Exercise. This is the first year this drill team has been organized. Senior members of this team are: Helen Jean Miller, . nn McLaughlin.

Only one varsity member of last t ' ear ' s chani])ionship team remained to play basketball this year and that was Joel Lorden. lie has received the honor of being chosen as a member of the A’estern Massachusetts Rasketball and Tournament teams. Beside basketball, Joel, who is one of our popular classmates, has earned a name for himself in baseball and football in both of which he excelled. Other senior members of our basketball team were Cyril Desau- tcls. John O ' Ccnnell and Vandy Blake. The three boys played a hard game of basketball and we have seen what Cyril can do on a football team and what John and andy have done on the baseball team. The junior members arc all up-and-coaning young athletes with Eddie Kerswig walking off the floor with the title of high scorer in many a basketball game. -Mthough the team was not as successful in some of its games as it wanted to be they were invited to participate in the Western Alassachusetts Small Migh School Puisketball Tournament at Massachusetts State College. 1 urners ' first oiijionent of the tournament was Searles, a team which was ranked seco4id-best in the MTstern Massachusetts Team Lineup. Having- beaten Searles by a score of 47-44, Turners played in the semi-finals against South Hadley, this year ' s tournament winner. 4 ' his semi-final game was lost to South Hadley in the last fifteen seconds of the game, when the op- posing team tossed the ball through the hoop setting the final score 37-36 in their favor. Although we lost 14 and only won 5, we can be just as proud of this team as we were of our past basketball teams for, even thoiugh several games were not victories for them, they never gave up or played anything but a hard, fair game.

Mineral, and on which I spend most of my time during the fall months. I have a wonderful sensa- tion everytime I go up to this mountain, singing merrily as I skip along, my two dogs trotting ahead. Birds flutter in and out among the pines playing tag, I suppose, while a rabbit peers cautiously from behind a huckle- berry bush. Since one of my dogs is a Beagle hound, I have to take care so that he won’t scare away these wonderful creatures. As I reach the toj) of Mt. Mineral a most beautiful sight confronts me. All around can be seen the beauty of New England ; the trees resembling a huge Mexican serape spread before me. Nestled between the folds of the serape is the Connecticut River and the French King Bridge with her huge spans. Now, I understand what our boys are missing when they say in their letters, “there’s nothing that can surpass the beauty of New England.” Yes, here before me is what our G. I.

A i)erso.n may awake in the morning- joy in liis heart and a song on his lips for no a|)parent reason other than he “just feels good.” The day may have dawned clear and invigorating with a bright sun and rosy sky in the east. These add to man’s high sj)irits. He feels he just hasn’t a care in the world, and if he did have, he wouldn’t let it bother him — or so he thinks I mentioned the eastern sky as being “roisy”, as the man’s early morn- ing outlook was rosy. However, if I recall correctly, there is an old saying which goes something to the effect “that, a pink sky in the morning is to a sailor a warning”. This need not apply Oiidy to a sailor. Sure enough. As the day wears on the rosy hue in addition to the deep blue of the sky and the golden sun grow dimmer and are eventually cloaked in a blanket of gray. As a man goes about his daily chores, his sunny oaitlook also fades as he discovers he has responsibilities and cares that must be attended to. He ceases to look through rose-colored glasses. Thus, weather and man are much alike. The weather cannot always be sunny. It must become oivercast and rain now and then. Man cannot always be in a sunny mood. He has cares that may take him into a gray mood, just as with the weather. I am inclined to believe the preceding- material could be used as another example of what Emerson was referring to when he spoke of the balance of life. — Edna Weed ' 0 OUR CAR (ir) On a coild day “Betsey sits in the garage like a stubborn mule. She just won’t budge. I resort to choking her, and then letting her rest at intervals. Finally she will sputter and cough, and her motor will roar for a few seconds and then stop dead again, not even giving me time enough to shift and get her out of her stall into the yard. By this time, there is a smoke screen in the yard large and thick enough to cover the United States Fleet. I then sit and wait until it clears so that if and when “Betsey” decides to move I can see where I’m going. For the reader’s information. “Betsey” is a broken down pile of black tin with a leaky faded canvas top, otherwise known as a ’33 Chevrolet coujje. If your foot is removed from the clutch too soon when starting “Betsey” gets playful and jumps for a good twelve inches, and of course stalls at the end of her leap, so that an inexperienced driver will find himself uj) on someone’s front lawn as has been the case many times. Getting back to the garage; the smoke has cleared and at last with the choke way out, and toying carefully with the accelerator. I back her out, vShe stalls again and again but she starts up again easily enough now.

He is always either some- where that he shouldn’t be or somewhere where he doesn ' t want to be. It never fails that no sooner am 1 settled comfortably in the evening with a good book, than Chan appears on the other side of the French door in the living room “wanting in in the worst way. It ' s impOiSsible to ignore him. for the door is glass and he knows that 1 can see him. He always bumps so hard against the door when he jumps up against it and he meows so loudlv that 1 can ' t help hearing him if f didn ' t notice him. If 1 just pretend 1 don’t see him 1 begin to think about how cold it is outdoors and if 1 look at him. even once, he stares and cries so wistfully that 1 have to let him in. Then you might think, my troubles would be over, but no. As soon as he is in he gallops out to the kitchen and if there isn ' t any food in his dish, he makes a terrible fuss. It is easier to ignore that, since 1 know he has usually eaten about an hour before. If I should go out to the kitchen, though, it is hopeless.

He curls up in my lap — on the book or pajier if he can — and settles down foir a nap, peacefully digging his claws into me at regular intervals. Resigned to my fate. 1 shut the book, leave the chair to him, and go to bed. — .Ann Harlow ON PASTIMES Hid you ever stop to think ho.w many answers you give for the same question? One is forever being asked his favorite pastime and the answer depends upon his mood. If I should be asked my favorite pastime today, 1 should say reading, as I’m in a lazy mood and don ' t want to do. anything to exert myself. If I had been asked yesterday I would have answered ice-skating, without any thought. I felt full of life and ready for any activities. The weather plays a large part in the mood of a person. Today it is a dreary rainy day. Yesterday it was a beautiful sunshiny day. IMy moods were according. On a nice warm summer day I would say my favorite sport or pastime was swimming. On a crisp, bright ; winter evening I would say it was skiing, with no thought, what-so-ever, of swimming. If the night was cold and windy I would think of dancing or if I was tired I wo.uld think of a quiet evening at the show ' . When you have given about six people all different answers somehow they always seem to get together and compare notes. Then they can’t understand why you should lie about such a little thing as a pastime, without stopping to consider that your pastime changes with your mood and your mood with the weather. — Renee Day Page Eighty ‘ Al) Astka Fkr Aspera ” Turners Falls High School 194 . ' , ON HUNTING ' I ' he very first day 1 got inv hunting license, at the age of fifteen, I went to West Gill with two neighbors. We were out for anything we might run across, which is usually the case when you haven’t got a hunting dog with you. I was all eyes and ears hoping to be the first to spot anything. 1 got one squirrel which I guess amounts to next-to-nothing in the way of hunting, and I must admit that I haven’t done much better since. I believe that I ' m something like the person who wrote that essay on “Angling”. When I go hunting 1 liecome soi interested in what I’m doing that I don’t have time to think aliout other things. I always try to imagine what life would be like if I could exchange places with any of the forest’s creatures, just for a short length of time. There always seems to be soimething clever and majestic about what they do, and the ways they roam the woods. The gray squirrel, with his sixth sense, finds little difficulty in eluding his enemies. The red squirrel with his limber jaws could out-talk any Irishman. The fox with his cunning allows himself to be man probably caice in the lifetime of a hunter. The pheasant, the partridge, the grouse have ears more sensitive than the diaphragm of a “Taylor” barometer. I’ve learned much from many of them, a few things worth while being a keener sense of sight, a certain amount od wariness and a keener enjoyment of nature. Put pleasures into your own life by taking a few tips from these lowly” creatures who are by far more hapjiy than that creature called man. — Arthur Sicard — — LAUGHTER IN NORTH STATION 0 On my way to Boston the other day, I had the moist embarrassing thing happen to me. We had entered North Station and I was walking along feeling very carefree. There were large groups of people everywhere I looked. Franklv, it was packed. Gradually I began to notice that a lot of people were looking at me and laughing. I didn’t dare move. I looked in a mirror that was near me. My hat was on straight, my face wasn’t dirty and I knew that my shoes were identical, for they were new and I had put them on with care. Finally, I couldn’t stand it any longer. I looked at my self from head to toe and there I found the object of their laughter. My suitcase was lying on the floor, wide open! But that wasn’t the only thing that was open. My bottle of Old Spice perfume was open and empty. Part of the perfume had gone on the floor and part of it was on my clothes. My mouth was open from surprise, too, and my face was as red as a beet. Things didn’t stay that way long!! I gathered my belongings into the case, closed and locked it, and walked out of the building feeling very low.

In this crowded and dimly lit room, orders from all sections of the toiwn a re put up in readiness for delivery, so if in a store you see persons apparently doing nothing when they could be waiting on people you can know they are probably working on the orders. Deliveries are made to certain sections of the town on certain days of the week and so if there’s a holiday twice as many deliveries have to be made the day before so as to keep on schedule. Fridays and Saturdays are the busiest days because on these days there is a lot of store trade as well as an abundance of orders. Wh en all the orders are up they are loaded on the truck and then comes the last minute briefing. ‘‘Have you got baskets, tokens? — and don’t forget to tell Mrs. Smith about her spinach,” commands the second boss. The third boss just says, “Don’t forget your cigar box for tokens.” -■ fter this last minute briefing you are on your own and can do as you please, although this is not always recommended, for doing as you please can get you into a lot of trouble. It always pays to be polite to your customers even though sometimes you feel like throwing a custard pie in their faces. Something that is dreaded by the delivery boy is to be short an article for a crabby person. Most ] eople will say, “You can briiiig it next time,” or “That’s all right. I’ll be down after it this afternoon.” and you walk out of these houses feeling high in spirits. But the crabby person. Oh boy! To go into her house with an article short is like going before a judge. “You go right back and get it.” she will yell, “and next time be more careful.” — W’illiam Thistle — (iir) — ON THE FARM IN WINTER (iir; In winter, most jieople think of a farm as pretty well closed up. The milking and chores go on as ever, but people think that after these are done the farmer just goes to town and sits around the cracker barrel in the store or the forge at the blacksmith’s and talks about the past sum- mer’s crops and ones of the coming summer. This is a great mistake, for it is in the winter time that the farmer works on improvements about the farm. Whitewashing or painting the stables, washing windows, putting in another light socket, making a new door for the stable to replace the one the horse kicked and another for the bull-pen because the bull ruined the old one. There are innumerable little jobs that take time to do and there is always snow to shovel. In the summer the farmer does not have time much more than to patch up his machinery and harnesses with baled-hay wire, but come winter he does many substantial repair jobs. Of course, during the open season he will go hunting and then his work piles up and he is still behind. The farmer works the calendar around from year to year. — John Raymond Page Eighty-two Ai) Astesa Pe:i{ Asi’kua ” Tuknicrs Falls HKiii Si iiool 1945 OUR ADVERTISERS Page Eighty-three ‘ Ai) Astra Per Aspera Turners Falls High School 1945 OUR APPRECIATION THE CLASS OF 1945 OF TURNERS FALLS HIGH SCHOOL TAKES THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK ALL THE ADVERTISERS FOR THEIR CO-OPERATION AND ENCOURAGEMENT IN MAKING THIS BOOK A SUCCESS Page Eighty-four “ Ai) As i ka Pku Asi ' kra ” Turners Falls High School 1945 A.
