The Memory of

A Former Classmate and a True and Loyal Friend

GLENNA LOUISE LEFEBVRE Glenna Louise LeFebvre was born in Riverton, September 8, 1907. During the first eight years of her course she attended district school, finally graduating however, from, the local graded school, one of the class of 1921. In the summer of 1922, after completing her first year at N. H. S., she met her untimely death in an automobile accident.

FOREWARD The "RAMBLER" is compiled and printed for the express purpose of giving the people of this and surrounding communities a better knowledge of our work and associations. Cc-operation is the watchword of success; we desire the union of townspeople and Northfield High School to be stronger. We trust that the "RAMBLER" may succeed in bringing this point more clearly to the minds of the citizens and friends of the school.

FACULTY As a crew tossed about upon the stormy waves for four long years thanks the kindly hand that at last brings them safely mto the long-sought-for port, so does the class of nineteen hundred twenty-five thank the faculty whose earnest endeavors m their behalf havesteered them safely through their courses. Some of the teachers have been with us longer than others and know more of our shortcomings. However, to all we owe a deep debt of gratitude for the patience and kindness which has always been shown to us. Although we shall miss your kindly counsels, we shall endeavor to keep them in heart and to be guided by their precepts in the years to come

THE RAMBLER

JOHN J. FINNESSY, A. B. University of Vermont, 1916 Principal and Instructor in Mathematics Once again Mr. Finnessy has guided another _class through its journey. For four years he has ardently striven to do all that he could for our welfare. His kindly encouragements and friendly counsels have helped us over many a rocky place in our course. It is with a spirit of deep gratitude for all his many kindnesses that we go forth from under his guidance, for he has been to us a sincere friend. A. CLARE MARKHAM, Ph. B. University of Vermont, 1922 Instructor in English At all times during the three years that Miss Markham has been with the class of "25", we have found her ready to aid us in every way, and by her help we have climbed over obstacles which otherwise would h a v e b e e n unsurmountable. We appreciate her kindness and patience in our behalf. For the welfare of those who follow us, we are very glad to hear that she will return next year. MYRTLE A. ROGERS Albany Business College, 1915 Instructor in Commercial Department Miss Rogers, our Commercial teacher, has been with us during our four years. She has always been glad to help us in our work, and has been ever kind and patient in regard to our shortcomings. Her efforts in our behalf are greatly appreciated.

E. DORIS POOLE, B. S. University of Vermont, 1924 Instructor in Geometry and History During the one year that Miss Poole has been with us, we have always found her cheerful, and willingto give us help at any time that we may have desired it. At all times she has shown an active interest in all school affairs. The students regret that she does not plan to return to N. H. S. DOROTHY E. WOOD, Ph. B. University of Vermont, 1924 Instructor in French and Latin Because of the earnest endeavors, the kindness and consideration of Miss Wood at all times, the class of nineteen hundred twenty-five have enjoyed their French and Latin classes very much during this year. We are pleased that she plans to return another year. ROSAMOND M. MACKIE Crane Institute of Music, 1920 Instructor in Music We have been fortunate in having Miss Mackie during the latter part of the year, for she has made every effort to make our commencement music a success. Let her be assured that the class gratefully appreciates the interest she has taken in their behalf. BERTHA H. WHITNEY Instructor in Music Although Mrs. Whitney was unable to be with us throughout our senior year, the class of 1925 wish to thank her for the interest she took, in them during the former years. They trust that she will be able to resume her work next fall, after her well-deserved rest, for she has been missed by all.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1925 Unlike other classes who began the journey of school life together, of our present number there was only one, Custodio Politi, who began his journey with Mrs. Woodbury. However, as year by year went by, new companions came to join him, and at the end of the 8th grade eleven of our present class graduated. In September 1921 we entered high school, full of enthusiasm for the new life, but a bit abashed at taking our places among the ranks of so dignified a body. Seven new members joined the class at this time, namely—Elmer Austin, Harold Hauver, Margaret Stevens, Beatrice Hazelton, Harriet Clarke, John Gibbs, and Royal Hall. Durinp- the Sophomore and Junior years we welcomed Ruth Bly, Chrystal Palmer, and Isabel MacGibbon. Together we have worked out the many problems which confront a class, and in the solution of them we have become firmly bound to-gether by the ties of friendship. Now, at parting, we pledge ourselves, a loyal band, to maintain forever the standards of Northfield High School. Catherine Aikin, '25.

BEULAH ADAMS "Bill" "Oh golly, No" Here is Northfield's most popular young lady, proved so by vote. But never a bit did this change "Bill," the optimist of our class. That's a point that's worth thinking over, and it's only one of her many fine points! May she win every one of life's contests with as great an ease as this one!

CATHERINE AIKIN "Kitty" "For the luvva Pete" Behold Kitty, the champion storyteller of the class. She has an inexhaustible supply and she springs a new one every time occasion demands it. We laugh when she's funny, but not when she's serious. That's a tribute to her, for it shows her versatility Good luck to you, Kitty.

THE RAMBLER

ELMER AUSTIN "/ wonder what she meant" There's no danger of ever being rudely awakened from a day dream by a burst of speech from Elmer. "Placidity" is his middle name. In spite of his lack of expression, he surely does some thinking though, and isn't it thinking that counts? Keep thinking, Elmer, and may you profit greatly by your thoughts.

ESELLE BELANGER "Oh, how'd you get that way"l Eselle is our star debater. No resolution was ever passed that she couldn't argue pro and con. She doesn't claim the honor at all, but she earns it—and to avoid an argument we just give it to her. With it go our sincere wishes for success in the future.

EDITH BERRY "Bridget" "Oh, shoot" President 2 No one in the class of Nine teen Twenty-Five will ever forget the sweetness of Edith's smile nor the cordiality of her manner. "Distance lends enchantment", but even we, who have known her throughout the entire course recognize and appreciate the value of this member of the class. We wish we had more good wishes for her, but she already has all that we have.

RUTH ELY "Why, I guess so" Editor in Chief of Rambler Vice President 4 When Ruth says "Why, I guess so" you can make up your mind that her guess is right, and act accordingly. She is quiet, some might think bashful, but we don't believe it—it is pure worth with no froth. We are sure the future holds a goal for her for she is proficient in studies, efficient as an executive, sufficient when a good pal is needed and deficient—never.

THE RAMBLER ALMA CAMERON "Al" President, 1, 3 Manager of Basketball 2 Assistant Editor of the Rambler First Honor As a dancer, "Al" is the personification of grace and poetry; as a hiker she has them all stopped; and as an all 'round 'Sport" she can't be b e a t . 'She has an amazing faculty for getting both herself and others out of tight scrapes, of which we have all felt the benefit at one time or another. Not only in these minor things does she excel, for it is a pleasure _to listen to her clear soprano voice which she is always willing to lend for any good cause. She will certainly be missed in the musical department of N. H. S. next year. One may go to "Al" for a "write up" on any subject. We look forward to her becoming a noted journalist, and her pleasing personality will always win friends.

HARRIET CLARK "Jimmy" "My goodness" This demure young lady is only another example to give that you can't judge a book by it's cover. She appears quiet and is quiet until—Bang! Then you are collecting your thoughts again and wondering where you ever got that foolish idea. Don't be satisfied with any of the lower rungs, "Jimmy"—you were meant for the top of the ladder,

DOROTHYCOOK "Dotty" We expect this brown-eyed lassie will become someone's first class stenographer. But her work will not be unmixed with dreaming for we unders t a n d "Dotty" is heading for western lands, in her mind's eye. Our only hope is that she'll come back some day. May bad luck follow you, "Dot", all the days of your life, but never overtake you.

ROYAL HALL "Bug" "Get outa here!"

Advertising Manager of Rambler Behold "Bug", alas, now gray with toil as a result of his election to the staff of the Rambler, as advertising manager. We can remember when he used to be as sprightly as the rest of us before he assumed such a responsibility. We're sure it will will wear off though; for "Bug" contains too much good-nature and friendliness to stay weary long.

THE RAMBLER

HAROLD HAUVER

No matter whatever else Harold may take up we feel sure his chosen profession won't be bookselling. Imagine him advancing boldly to the lady of any house and commencing an oration on the excellence of somebody or other's latest work; it would be torture. Although he won't talk about it we're sure he's going to overcome every obstacle with the ability of a veteran.

BEATRICE HAZELTON "Bee" "Isn't that the cat's meow."

"Bee", the short fun maker of the class, is always bubbling over with mirth and joy. The effect is remarkable for in no time at all she has the entire group fairly howling. But underneath her frivolity she is a loyal classmate and a friend never to be forgotten. Keep on smiling, Bee!

MARTIN HOWARD "Oh, Heck, but listen—" Martin is the artist of the class. Oh no, not one of the smock kind that revels in gorgeous orange and red creations, but the kind that can copy most anything going, and make it reasonably true to life. We don't know what his plans are, but we feel sure he's headed for "Success."

MARY HUNTLEY "I dunno,but—" Class Secretary and Treasurer, 2, 3, 4 Second Honor Here's to Mary, a true friend, rather taciturn in speech ; silent, when there's nothing to be said ; but wise, exceedingly pertinent, and sincere when she does speak. By her quiet reserve she has kept us from, making some bad blunders at times, for in the midst of any uproar, Mary's still small voice demands attention. May she always get it!

THE RAMBLER

ISABEL MacGIBBON

"Ibby"

"Well, I don't think so." Treasurer of Rambler. "Ibby" is the chemist of the class of Twenty-Five. She can even tell you how to make biscuits by Chemistry rules, and that's a knack, you know. Besides, she has the knack of expressing herself so forcibly you can't miss her point. We're sure she won't wait for success to come to her—she'll go after it, and she'll get it

CRYSTAL PALMER "Chris" "By the ever living man" President 4 Vice President 3 The honorable but weighty office of President has had no effect on "Chris." She always has a smile, a cheery word, or friendly greeting for everyone, rain or shine. She can crack some of the funniest jokes ever, but never at someone's else expense. In brief—Chris is "all right." Good luck to her, and may Dame Fortune smile upon her always, but never her daughter, Miss Fortune.

MARY REED "Mae"

"Oh, yes, indeed" The studious one-that's Mary Not a whisper, not a sound—but. what's that? A delighted giggle breaks the silence. Mary's here. That is the signal for a general rush—"Oh, Mary, play for us, please!"—for she is cue of the most prominent of our budding musicians. She is always smiling, never cross, and it's a pleasure to have her "among those present."

19

MARGARET STEVENS "Midget" "Naturally" "Big things come in little packages. So does poison, but here's an instance where the contents are not poison. Midget is like an exciting story-book, mostly action. She has never been known to neglect or skip her duty, either. We like her for her frankness, her straightforwardness, and because she is "Midget."

WILLIAM BEATTIE "Bill" "Cap"

ANNA SORELL "Who said so" Behold Anna, the kind friend and earnest worker who commands our respect at all times. We don't hear very much of her for she isn't the kind with the inflated ego. She is just Ann, quiet arid true, and we like her for it.

"Aw gwan" Varsity Basketball 3, 4 Captain Basketball 4 "And soon there's miles and miles of smiles," when Bill comes traipsing in. He finds fun in everything unless it's beyond reason. And can't he play basket ball; and can't he make a speech worthy of Daniel Webster before a crowded assembly? For that matter, can't he do most anything well? The answer is—he can.

JOHN GIBBS "Johnny" "Heck, no" Varsity Basketball 3, 4 He represents two hundred pounds of solid worth—in other words, Johnny, our spunky guard. Whethei on the basketball floor or in a debate he can "argue" for his side in a manner stunning to his opponents. His slow drawl is an occasion for the pricking up of many ears, for Johnny never talks for nothing. Here's luck to him!

CUSTODIO POLITI "Cus"

"Idon't care." Girls are nonentities to this young man. Isn't he queer? But that's his only fault, and maybe he'll overcome that some day. He is a fine speaker, having gained his experience in giving lectures on the side in English class. The fittest tribute we can give him is—he's "O. K." MARION SWANN "Swannie" ''What, what did you say?" "Swannie" is one of our silent partners. Always willing, ever ready to aid when called upon, still she's never forward! She seems to understand that familiarity breeds contempt, and with that belief goes her own quiet way. Good luck to you Marion—you 're bound to succeed.

CLASS OF 1926 ' 'Tis not in mortals to command success But we'll do more, Juniors—we'll deserve it." In September 1922 we entered N. H. S. thirty-nine strong. Most of us have climbed two rungs and have nearly attained the third rung in the ladder of knowledge. The Junior Class has no social activities this year, but plans for the Senior Reception will soon be under way. During the year we sold Christmas cards and candy, thus making a good sum for the class treasury. ^ The class officers are: Leo Rabidou, president; Carver Campbell, vice-president; Lester Campbell, secretary, and treasurer.

CLASS OF 1928 The class of of 1928 entered Northfield High school on September 2, 1924. The boys attracted much attention by performing various stunts for the amusement of the upper classmen. This sport soon subsided and at the end of two weeks the Sophomores gave a reception at Armory Hall in our honor. The class has given no social function this year but, rather have plodded on industriously and have, at last, passed the first milestone of the four year course. May the others be as successful and happy. The class officers are: President, Albert Eraser; vice president, Francis Chase; secretary, Jessie Fullam; treasurer, LeRov Dopp. A. Weldon House '28.

BASKET BALL SEASON In October, 1924, the bpsketball practices began. Five complete teams were chosen by Coach Finnessy, from whose numbers the first team was to be selected. After good hard work on everyone's part, the regular team was finally chosen with seven substitutes. On December 12 came the first game of the season in which Rochester lost to N. H. S. by a heavy margin. Defeating each opponent in turn, the team finally scored its last triumph on March 6 with a decisive victory over South Royalton. With this to their credit N. H. S. became the undisputed champions of the Vermont State League, having secured nine victories within the league and three without. Due to the excellent record of the Northfield team, they were invited to compete for State Championship in the tournament at Burlington. However, much to the disappointment of all, the team was beaten in the preliminaries by Peacham Academy. On April 15 the members of the basketball team were entertained at a supper given by the Chamber of Commerce, after which the Vermont Central League Cup was presented by President Plumley of Norwich University. Mr. Denny, president of the Chamber of Commerce, presented each member of the regular team and Coach Finnessy with engraved silver basketballs.

25

Although much of the success has been due to the hard work of the boys themselves, and to the loyal support and enthusiasm of the townspeople, yet much credit should be given to Coach Finnessy who worked so hard that the season might be a successful one. Graduation will rob the team, of two of its members. John Gibbs and William Beattie, but there will be two more capable of filling the vacancies and of making next year's season even more successful than this. Team Place N. H. S.

Miss Sport, who has been waiting for this opportunity, boldly stepped in and claimed all our attention. However, she did attend the semi-formal reception given last September by the Sophomores for the entering class in Armory hall with music by the Maroon Serenaders. She again made her appearance when the Juniors gave a Halloween Box Social in the Assembly hall. Eselle Belanger Commencement Exercises of 1924 The Baccalaureate sermon, delivered by the Reverend Dr. Creegan, June 8, at the Savoy theatre, opened the Commencement Exercises of the class of 1924 which completed their days at Northfield High School.

NORTHFIELD HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY For some time Northfield High has anticipated the day when it might have a library like other schools of its size. Through the co-operation of the local school board, the faculty, and the students, the school now boasts of a library of several hundred volumes. This library is situated in the room adjoining the main study hall and the one formerly used by the Teachers' Training Class. With the financial aid of the school board, the room was rede-

THE RAMBLER

corated and furnished with a large reading table, chairs, and bookcases. The books already owned by the high school, as well as some recently purchased, have been catalogued and shelved by the students. The reading table is well supplied by several current magazines and two daily newspapers. The fact that the library has its quota of students during every period proves that the work has not been done in vain. For many it has meant the only opportunity for reading any daily news or magazines. We enjoyed our school work more this year owing to the fact that we have been able to find considerable reference material there. Besides this, when our work has been completed, we have found many an interesting article or pleasant story to relieve the usual monotony of our daily routine. However, I do not wish to give the idea that our library is a finished product. No, indeed: it is merely in its infancy. Both the reference and reading section are incomplete. As the Rambler reaches so m.any of our worthy alumni and interested friends I take this opportunity to appeal to your generosity. We have always been loyally supported by you, and again we ask your help, for we deem our cause a worthy one. Financial help, new books, or unused books will be welcomed in our collection. In this way, we hope that book by book, our numbers will increase until we have a library of well seclected and choice volumes. To every one who has ever found a book a friend, I make this appeal for N. H. S. library. Chrystal Palmer

You Can't Get Much Of A Position Without Shorthand She had worked nearly five years without getting really started. Other girls were going ahead of her to hold good positions as stenographers and secretaries in which they received good pay in addition to educational and social advantages and she was standing still. No wonder she said: "You can't get much of a position without shorthand." No wonder she decided to enroll in the ALBANY BUSINESS COLLEGE No wonder she was pleased with the result when seven months later she had a good position and saw ahead of her many splendid opportunities for advancement. No wonder she was pleased. Let us send you one of our catalogs. It will help you to plan correctly for the future. CARNELL & HOIT 83 North Pearl Street Albany, New York
