Nurses from Barre City Hospital talked to the girls about the field of nursing, and the principal of Lyndon Normal School talked to all of us about the teachers’ training course there. On April second an operetta, the love pirates of Hawaii was presented at the village hall by the students. The seniors with the help of underclassmen are practicing for the annual senior play to be presented on May 22. A grand time was enjoyed this year, and we sincerely hope that next year the school will have even more trips, parties, and entertainers than we have had this year. Eleanor Guay ’47

THE EVENTS OF THE SC HOOL YEAR Our school year of 1!)47 has been a very enjoyable one, and we have greatly appreciated having Mr. French with us to make it more interesting. He has done a great deal to make our school year a little different from what we have been having, and we have all had a grand time. During the year it was made possible for us to visit many different places, and the trips were really enjoyed. One of these trips was to Burlington to see various interesting points and a football game between New Hampshire and Vermont. In November an alumni basketball game and dance were enjoyed. The sociology class decided that they would like to visit the Ha verhill State County Farm, and arrangements were made for the class to do this. A few days later the sociology class visited the Court House in Woodsville. On March second everyone who wanted to was able to attend the town meeting in Newbury. Several parties were enjoyed during the year; such as a Hallowe’en Party, Valentine Dance, Christmas Party and a Sock Hop. At the Christmas Party Mr. Emerson Lang of Danville brought his square dance team to lead us through square dances. Before Mr. Goodie’s departure to another place to teach his physics class enjoyed an educational trip to the fifteen- mile dam in North Monroe. The school as a whole has contributed to the March of Dimes and the Cancer Drive. At different times during the year we were able to enjoy several entertainers. Our first was Mr. Johnson, a Negro singer from Boston. Later on we were able to enjoy a lady who played the Thermin, a new instrument to all of us. One afternoon Mrs. Kloss’entertained us with several piano selec- tions. Through the efforts of Leon Winchester we were enter- tained by Barbara and Carol Nichols playing the violins and Mrs. Nichols playing the piano. 7

ILOfr IlT(R, ACRoJ WE HAI) FUN FRIDAY NIGHT Mr. Goodie blew the whistle, Mrs. Gibson jumped three feet. We girls pulled up our trousers. And our opponents we did meet. The ball came to the center, And it was passed around. Mr. Goodie called a foul And I stepped up to the mound. Kendall then protested, The crowd began to smile. I grabbed the ball and took a shot And missed it by a mile! The boys led us at the half. But Bidwell’s skirt w'as short. The refs then gave us ten points Which made the boys just snort. We came back at the half And we were out to win! Bidwell looked at “Jeanie” And she kicked him in the shin!
