University of New Hampshire, M. Ed. S u perintendenfs Message We are often asked the question, What should one get from four years of high school? There are certain knowledges that one develops as the result of taking the prescribed and elective subjects. But there are general learnings that one should develop as a result of application and attention to everyday living in the school. Put briefly, these are: How to live agreeably with others, how to maintain a good healthy condition throughout life, and understanding of the methods of science and its effect upon us, our rights and duties as a citizen in a democratic society, the significance of family- life, how to use our leisure profitably, how to buy wisely and use intelligently both goods and services, how to think rationally, express ourselves clearly, and read and listen understandingly. Finally, we should develop skills and attitudes that will enable us to become intelligent and productive workers. Principa1's Message May we keep with us always the highest standards that life offers, as we walk the sunlit trail into the farthest Tomorr'ow. llsl The Faculty MISS AGNES M.

The Class of 1952 h The Seniors began their most important year of' school last September with a total of seventeen members. However, in October Betty Cowgill left the group to move to Maine. Minnie Zimmer, a newcomer who had transferred to Walpole High School only this year, was an active member of the class until early January when she returned to Springfield, Massachusetts. At the present writing the Senior Class comprises a total of fifteen students. The annual Walpole High School Fair held in September brought forth from the combined efforts of- the class a striking float entry of Washington Crossing the De1aware . The girls were responsible for much of the ground work, while the boys presented a very accurate portrayal of the famous painting. Although this float only won honorable mention, the class was proud of its effort and felt that it had improved its product over those of previous years. Right up through the month of January the class has been sponsoring a series of round and square dances with music by Dick Perry's Orchestra. These have been conducted on an average of two a month. Thanks to the interest of the students and townspeople, these dances have been a great boon to the class treasury. Another fund-raising project of the Seniors has been the sponsorship of paper drives. ' Through the kindness of Mr. R. N. Johnson, the class sale of refreshments at the John Deere Day last spring netted the group enough money to begin definite plans for a trip to New York and Washington. Just last December members of the class sold very successfully Christmas cards, wrapping paper, and stationery to numerous kind parents and friends in the town. The Seniors have an excellent record of participation in school activities. The boys' varsity team has Seniors Gilbert Chandler, Donald Houghton, Robert Houghton, and Richard Murray. Of the girls in the class, Hazel Brainard, Ethel Hurd, and Margaret Reed have been on the girls' team, and Elisse Nash has been the team manager. Jane Howard and Ann Rogers have been the peppy class repre- sentatives on the cheerleading squad. Donald Houghton is the President of the Student Council and Hazel Brainard is the other-class representative. On the CHlCK'S CHIRP staff are Donald Houghton, Elisse Nash and Phebe Ramsey. In the Thespian Club are Gilbert Chandler, Donald Houghton, and Ann Rogers. With Mr. Sanborn as its advisor, the class has held regular meetings every Monday the fourth period to handle its business of the budget for the class trip and the other necessary arrangements. The Arnold Tours will again take charge of the transportation and housing details for the class on the trip, which will be taken the week before the April vacation .with Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge Wallace as chaperonesi The class is very appreciative of the help of the many individuals who have made possible the class trip as well as the ultimate goal of all the class - graduation. , In particular the claxss wishes to acknowledge its gratitude to its advisor, Mr. Victor N. Sanborn, for his advice and guidance throughout the year. To Miss Brennan goes the sincere thank you of all the class for her help with this year- book.

What l've learned may startle you beyond measure, but here goes ...... From Donald Houghton's brother Billy comes the word that Hazel Brainard has reached the top in the coaching field. Can you imagine that she is the only woman basketball coach Dartmouth has ever had? Needless to say, all the Big Green students have never enjoyed playing basketball so much! What's more they've had a victorious ' season so far. While glancing through the paper this morning, I ran across a picture of Miss New Hampshire of l96l , who is our ever -attractive Jane Howard. The article re- lates that next week she is to have a screen test in Hollywood for a part opposite Stewart Granger. The President of the United States, the well-known James P. Johnson, has re- cently been visiting his family home in Walpole. His familiar John Deere has been spotted in many a drive way as he has gone about renewing old acquaintances and begging for re-election. Ethel Hurd, President Johnson's confidential secretary and personal pilot, has also been enjoying 'herself at her home in Langdon, where she has been sunning and swimming at the ultra-exclusive Deep Hole. Word has come directly from Robert Houghton that he is teaching physics at the Boston University Graduate School and is still a bachelor. Despite the frequent proposals he's had, Robert affirms his intention of settling down with the millions he's made from his inventions. Gilbert Chandler's business manager has briefly answered my inquiry with the statement that Gib is now Champion Weight Lifter of North America and Chile. Since signing his new contract with the Boston Red Sox, he has invested very heavily- in jxro basketball teams! The Cattle King of this New Hampshire-Vermont area, prosperous Donald Hill, although a bachelor all this time, has decided that this is the year for him to marry. For this specific reason he is allowing himself his first real vacation since the Class Trip. Nhere is he heading? Sorry ...... he's off to Texas to import one of those gorgeous creatures from Dallas. Donald Houghton, President of the multi-million dollar U-Fly-Yourself Cor- poration, has just been down to Keene Teachers College lecturing on Safe Driving for American Y'outh .' One of his many unusual hobbies is Insurance Adjusting. QHe's still trying to collect on his- own casej. Variety supplied me with the latest news of Ann Rogers, the stunning raven- haired beauty you've been seeing on Libby's Hawaiian Pineapple TV Show. She's just gone to Hawaii as the bride of the owner of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. For Elisse Nash a modeling career has certainly brought her heart's desire -- a 1962 Pontiac convertible. Two weeks ago Leesie drove from Walpole to her Bel- Air mansion, the setting of many of the California Fashion Shows attended by the Hollywood stars. W Down in Greenwich Village last month fellow artists rejoiced with Phebe Ramsey, whose sensational one-man exhibit prompted the French Government to offer her a full year of further study in Paris. The only requirement is that she do a Ramseyscape of the Seine River. This past year Margaret Reed has been teaching home economics at the University of Colorado. The last I- heard she was single and happy, but the Colorado School of Mines might have changed her mind by this time. Newspaper accounts of the former Mary Aylwardi and Barbara Licence have them partners in a novel enterprise, Ideas Unlimited . This ad in the New York Times is typical of those in other city papers, Stale Jokes, Giggles, Rib-TiEEr?'ITiilored to Size. By Appointment Only. Radio and Television Writers Welcome Anytime. I I'm glad that I was able to find out about these friends of ours for you. One fellow I have a chance to visit with fairly often is Dick Murray, who's attached to the State Police Barracks up in Rutland. He's always thought women- were very poor drivers. That feature plus Green Mountain Junior College makes his work very interesting for him. Sincerely, Wally Walpole The Class Ode By Phebe Ramsey 'Tis with tear -dimmed eyes and heavy heart, That we leave this school today. These years have taught us many things, That should speed us along 1ife's way. It will take us a time to reach the top, For the way is long and steep, But all thanks we give to Walpole High. Her treasured mem'i-ies we'l1 always keep. ' Q SLN. in , X in A3 a T r 'fx 2 923 ' V 'S' 5 f ,- .M x . v , f W X , ' 'R 'VW ' ' .

This year the council has appropriated funds to be used to purchase records for use over the public address system. Under the sponsorship of the council, the World Series games were tuned into vacant classrooms, where many students from study halls were allowed to go to enjoy them. The organization has secured, for a small student admission, full-length movies as well as short subjects to be shown tl -- student body just before vacations. An important council project of-the -minute is the rewriting of the constitution. Because certain articles dealing with the old school are outdated or impractical, this revision is necessary.

Because of other conflicting extra-curricular activities, the group has been unable to hold regular social meetings. Each active club member who has taken home economics for one year has been eligible to take the Junior Degree. The Junior and Senior girls have been eligible for chapter, state, and national degrees. For the School Fair the group worked in various committees to prepare all the exhibits for display. The club also managed A fish pond for a booth and a very pro- fitable food sale, from which the F.F.A. realized a 'ifty percent profit. Some of the girls helped with the banquet preparations for the F.F.A. in the fall. During the basketball season the group sold soda and candy alternately with the Seniors. The following girls attended the fall state meeting of the F.H.A. at Keene Teacher: College: Ann Rogers, Bernice Cobb, Kay Rogers, Kathryn Whitman, and Joan Kopacz. Miss Jane Mills attended asrthe advisor, and Mrs. Ralph Whitman provided trans- portation for the group.

As in the past, many of the boys had various exhibits there. All of the members went to the Eastern States Exposition, where the exhibits of cattle and machinery were especially good this year. In October Edward .Tennison and Dennis Phelps traveled to Kansas City, Missouri, to the National F.F.A. Convention. These boys went out to receive the Golden Emblem, which the Walpole Chapter won in 1951 in the National Chapter Contest. On December nineteenth the boys held their annual Father and Son Banquet at which the F.H.A. girls helped to serve.

Miss Agnes M. Brennan Since it is not yet possible to review this year's activities, it might be well to mention the work of April fifth in 1951. The Senior high play under the direction of Miss Frances V. Weeks and Miss Agnes M. Brennan was Burton Crane's takeoff on Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, The Mystery of the Silver-Backed Haii-brush . The able cast was composed of the following: Charles Roentsch as J. Grewslome- Smith, Phyllis Yanizyn as Flossie, John Crehore as The Murderer, Donald Houghton as Chesterton, John Williams as Dobson, James Audet as Jim Silvers, Gilbert Chandler as Berton Crandall, and Muriel Britton as Mrs. Jonathan Updike. A large group of students, too numbrous to list, formed the excellent stage committees whose hard work made the play possible. The scenery committee made a fine contribution in building and papering a set of flats, which the school now has ready for future productions. One week after this first presentation, the group performed again in the tri-town one-act play contest with Charlestown and Vilas. The judges awarded the trophy for the best play to Walpole. Chosen as the best actor in the contest was Donald Houghton for his well-timed characterization of Chesterton, the master detective. John Williams whose performance as the note-taking Dobson provided much of the humor in the play, also rated honorable mention by the judges for his acting.

The Glee Club has had approximately forty-five members this year. The group has thus far put on one very special program, the Nativity for the Christmas season. 'The pageant was especially lovely with its unusual staging effects. The New England Music Festival will be held March fifth through the ninth in New Britain, Connecticut. William Farrow, a Junior, will represent Walpole in a group attending under the supervision of Mrs. Tole. At Rochester, New Hampshire, in April, Charles Roentsch and William Farrow are to be the Walpole representatives again under Mrs. Tole's guidance. The group is looking forward to the Regional Music Festival to be held this year in Charlestown, New Hampshire, in May. The Band At long last the Walpole Band has new uniforms this year. The outfits are very attractive with the white trousers, blue and white jackets and overseas caps stepping up the appearance of the group greatly! The band has played in the School Fair parade and in the Memorial Services in both Walpole and Alstead. The special unit, called the German Band , has presented a very entertaining program for the Walpole Parent Teacher Association.

They lost the services of two stellar players, Bill Houghton and Tom Kiniry, by graduation last year. The vacant center spot has been very capably filled by Clarence Houghton and Bob Cobb. Don Houghton moved over to right forward, and Gib Chandler moved from guard to left forward. The guard spot has been filled by Dick Murray with able assistance from Ken Menard. Art Hill is still at his right guard post. Walpole began the year at home against a strong, tall Troy team. The playing was ragged, but the Chicks took the contest 2.9-25. Then they journeyed to Henniker where baskets fell like flies, and the Chicks emerged victorious with their highest total of the year, 91-58. ' The Chicks won two more easy ones from Thayer High of Winchester, and Marlboro. Then they journeyed to Charlestown and lost a tough one to an undefeated five. After beating a favored Alumni, the Chicks lost a difficult one to Chester. Walpole then took a close one from Enfield and gave Vilas of Alstead a royal drubbing, They then won encounters with Thayer, Marlboro, and Chester, all of them away, to run the winning streak to five straight. The Chicks then journeyed to Troy to the crackerbox to play a tall, hard- driving, tourney-bound team. The Chicks proved that they have what it takes when it's needed as they pulled away each tirne Troy got close and won going away by a score of 60-46. The team then defeated Hinsdale, Henniker, and Hinsdale again to run its win- ning streak up to nine straight games. Coach and Managers LJLZFT TO RIGHT: Manager, David Houghton, Coach, Robert P. Dcsrnarais and Manager, William Murray. February eighth was a big night for both Walpole and Charlestown teams. Over a thousand enthusiastic fans packed Hubbard Gymnasium to see their favorite teams play. When the game was over, the scoreboard spelled FATAL! Charlestown had won 55-39. The Chicks, still not up to par, met Vermont Academy on the home court defeat- ing them 61-49. The following night they went to Vilas and came home victorious, 69-44. The Chicks showed a great deal of improvement in this game. The individual scoring this year has been as follows: Gib Chandler, 303 points: Don Houghton, 253 points, Bob Cobb, 145 points: Art Hill, 98 pointsg Clancy Houghton, 97 points: Dick Murray, 80 points, Bill Kopacz, 50 pointsg Ken Menard, 39 points, Johnny O'Brien, 28 points: Bob Houghton, 21 points. In a' play-off at Keene the Chicks defeated Henniker, 49-42, to become eligible again for the Class C Tournament at St. Mary's Gymnasium in Claremont. There in the quarter-finals Walpole overcame a strong Nute High team by a score of 77-70, thus breaking the record of the highest number of points scored by a team in tourney play. Probably playing their best game of the year, the Chicks nosed out a favored Woodsville club 70-63 in the semi-finals. Down to the finals the tired Chicks lost fighting to the tune of 60-59, making Walpole runner-up for the championship the second consecutive time. Bobby Cobb was outstanding in this last contest. The Chicks placed two men on the All-State Team - Don Houghton at right forward and Gib Chandler at left forward. The team feels that it owes its successful season to Coach , Mr. Robert Desmarais. Due to his capable coaching the boys have learned to play together as a team. He has guided the boys through another successful season. Appreciation and thanks go to Bill Murray the team's efficient capable, good- natured manager, who, assisted by David Houghton, has worked hard to keep things running smoothly this season.

As the season draws to a close, we find that the girls' team has a record of 14 wins and 3 losses. The excellent work of the forwards has given Walpole a new record to be proud of. The guards with their outstanding team work and zone defense proved satisfactory throughout the season. The total number of points for the season was 615. Becky Graves was high scorer for the season with 217, with Janet Prentiss coming in second with 180. The foul shooting was headed by Becky Graves with Z7 and Janet Prentiss with 24. Through Miss Bradley's kindness she left two trophies for the 'girls' team, one for the highest foul shooter and one for the most co-operative girl on the team.

The girls' peppy routines and well-rehearsed cheers at the pep rallies and all the games have given evidence of many hours of rigid practice. With a total of approximately forty cheers, the girls have been able to provide just the right words for the occasion. This variation plus their tricky stunts have earned the group much support and acclaim from all the fans. The uniforms the girls have had this year are those worn by the cheerleading groups for the past two seasons. The seven girls comprised two Seniors, Ann Rogers and Jane Howard: one Junior, Kay Menardg three Sophomores, Beverly Messer, Judith Metcalf, and Dianne Schiff: one Freshman, Patricia Chickering plus one substitute from the Freshman Class, Joan Bemis.

They won nine games and lost eight. The fellows had private cars as transportation for the away games, and they really had a lot of fun meeting the different opposing teams. The players last season comprised the following: Donald Houghton, Kendall Menard, Gilbert Chandler, Nilliam Houghton, Arthur Hill, Robert Cobb, Donald Hill William Kopacz, Richard Murray, Wayne Bryant, and Robert Houghton. Looking toward the 1952 season, the team was fortunate to lose only one player to graduation last year. However, the present Senior Class has in it five members of the team, and four of these are pitchers.

The co-operation of these members and the wonderful guidance of their coach, Miss Frances V. Weeks, is reflected in their mutual success. One particularly unusual game was played one afternoon when the girls opposed the boys' team in an assembly program. The students were very enthusiastic rooter and best of all the teachers acted as umpires. Needless to say the boys won this con test. With the majority of the players on hand for the 1952 season, the team hopes' earnestly for another good year under the new girls' coach, Miss Ruth Carr. S S 7?
