For seventeen years it has been the custom for each class to publish the Rambler. Again this year we present to the public a report of the Class of '38 in hopes that we, as well as others, may always remember the days of our High School life.

HISTORY OF NORTHFIELD HIQH AND QRADED SCHOOLS What is now Northfield High School was first established in 1870, and was the successor to the Northfield Academy, chartered by the Vermont Legislature in 1846—this being the firs! regular institution of higher learning in this valley. The Graded and High Schools opened in September, 1870, with 313 pupils, Marshal R. Peck, A. B., Principal. Itscharter was granted in 1872. The school was then housed in one building—consisting of seven main rooms, used by both high school and grades. In 1904 it was found necessary, on account of crowded conditions, to enlarge the school facilities and the present High School, a commodious brick building, north west of the old school was erected and the High School removed to its new quarters in 1905. The number of pupils at that time was 135. This school has ever been served by able principles and teachers—the principals being as follows: 1870-72 M. R. Peck, 1872-75 A. R. Savage, 1875-76 Eben Smith, 1876-78 A. W. Blair, 1878-80 W. W. Prescott, 188081 A. A. Shaw, 1881-88 ]. M. Hitt, 1888-89 I. P. Booth, 1889-90 A. L. Jones 1890-91 H. O. Aiken, *i8 9 i- 9 2 W. S.

THE FACULTY And well they might be called a baseball nine! Many a worthy strike they have made to promote our education. As a result of their untiring efforts many home runs have been made in their favor. At times it may have been a bit strenuous to pitch any knowledge into the youthful catchers of N. H. S., but even late in the game each one came through favorably. Whether on the field or off, this team has proved an excellent one. Three cheers for the faculty!

HISTORY VIRGINIA AIKIN

Ship ahoy! Behold in the distance a large sailing vessel! As it approaches we find that the crew is divided into four different ranks. One in particular interests us, for we find that the members of this group, after working four long years, have finally gained the top deck and are looking out and ahead for greater seas to conquer. It has indeed been a pleasure to watch them progress from the lower ranks. Gradually during the first year they became accustomed to sailing life. They were indeed thrilled by that great gala occasion when the whole crew celebrated at the Freshman Reception.

"Jinny" Honor Roll i, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4; Librarian 4; Co-Captain Basketball 4; "Purple Pigeon"; Glee Club 3; Vice-President of Class 3; Dramatic Club 3, 4; Secretary and Treasurer of Literary Club 4; Alumni Editor, Rambler 4; Chorus i, 2, 3, 4; Usher 3; AllState Chorus 4; Vice Pres. Dramatic Club 4. Tall, likeable, Jinny is one of the most outstanding students of N. H. S. Can it be due to her Irish eyes that she is never lacking company, especially of the opposite sex? Dancing and basketball don't interfere with Jinny's ability to get high honors. She is an all-round good sport, and good student.

As the second year approached, these youthful sailors moved up one "Knot" and took great pleasure in being in one of the ship's presentations, "The Purple Pigeon." The third year and only one more to go! Each did his part toward supplying members for the crew's orchestra, chorus, and basketball. Those who so desired were indeed proud to wear a class ring. It appears as though the past year has been the best. And why shouldn't it be? The crew offered excellent cooperation in the production of "The Colonel's Maid" and thus made it an outstanding success. Those in the crew have overcome the difficulties presented and have mastered the rough high seas and even though it was hard to learn the ropes at first, they have reached the top with flying colors.

HAROLD ELAINE "Tookie" Chorus i, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra i, 2, 3, 4; "Purple Pigeon". Is this lad really as solemn and dignified as he looks? Just ask a few of his neighbors in studyhall! History class wouldn't be natural without Tookie's correct answers. It has been said that this young man is shy in the presence of girls, but is he? Better watch him, girls, because he'll be a great man some day.

How Long is a Chinaman? Ching is a Chinaman, too. But only so for a short time, while you saw him perform in "The Colonel's Maid." Ching seems to possess mysterious powers for we have found out that he has a dual personality. Underneath we find a dark-haired damsel who is the life of Northfield High—otherwise known as Mary. Many a class has been lightened with our classmate, Mary, at the helm. A true friend, don't you think?

"Hello, girls!" This, alone sums up Lea's friendliness toward everyone. Whether in the classroom or outside, she still has that distinction of being "everyone's friend." In shorthand class, Lea has shown her ability to get things done. We know you'll be successful in the business world, Lea, with your all-round good nature.

BURNHAM CROSS ROBERT COLE Orchestra 2, 3, 4; Chorus 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4; Basketball 2. Presenting to you the mastermind of music, tricks, and pranks. If there is anything funny going on in the back of study hall you may be sure it's Robert up to his old tricks. Robert has proved an all-round good friend, always ready to entertain during any dull moments.

"Doc" Chorus i, 2, 3, 4; Public Speaking Prize 2; Property Manager, "The Colonel's Maid" 4. And in this corner we have the one and only—Burnham Cross! Is there anyone who isn't acquainted with his familiar "What do we have in History today?" or "Have you got your English done yet?" Always cheerful and ready to help everyone—That's "Doc".

Yes, Sir, and Thomas is oft to tell the boys the latest bit of news, a joke, or perhaps another one of his numerous fish stories. Thomas certainly keeps things going whether he's behind scenes or on the set. We understand he's got his heart set on being a newspaper man. He'll win.

ELIZABETH DUQUETTE "Lizzie" Honor Roll i; Basketball i, 2, 3; Glee Club i, 2, 3, 4; "Purple Pigeon"; Rambler Staff 4; All-State Chorus 4; Librarian 4. What would our class have done these past four years without Lizzie? No one likes a good time better than Lizzie, and she is always willing to help with anything. She has made a big hit on "the hill" as well as with her classmates.

To Bernard, we give the honor of being the class artist, jokester and actor. We never knew of his third talent until very recently, when he played the difficult part of the irate Colonel Rudd in "The Colonel's Maid". You really have something there, Bernard.

MERIDEN A. FRENCH Frenchie" Chorus i, 2, 3, 4; Literary Editor of Class Paper 2, 3; Literary Editor, Rambler Staff 4. What is all that uproar? We know at once it can be nothing more than a contagion started by Frenchie. Whenever there's any fun to be had, Frenchie can start it. But for all his good humor, he has proved conscientious and invaluable in his school work. Continue the good work. We're all rooting for you!

She has shown her worth in History class by answering questions that have so often puzzled her classmates. With such a pleasant smile and cheerful personality, Peggy is bound to succeed in life.

Here's Bradley, everybody's friend. A genial smile, "whether it's giving some one a ride to school or doing his share in the orchestra—That's Brad, on the spot! Does this not show that this young fellow is going places? Why? Didn't you know he's going to join the navy?

"Let's ask Max. He will know." Many times during the past four years this or similar remarks have been heard at N. H. S. All information regarding class work is cheerfully given by this obliging young man. A very successful high school career indicates that Max will undoubtedly accomplish whatever he attempts in the future.

He may be short, but so was Napoleon! Where's Leroy? Three guesses—Hunting? —Fishing?—Montpelier? Wherever he is, he is always having a good time and ready to entertain any one. Leroy also has helped many a Senior with his car. Yes, Sir, Roy, we're all "Bet-ting" on you.

Tommy has also done much for the class, and his genial personality has won him many friends, especially with the young ladies. We hate to lose you, Tommy, but there are greater things ahead for you and we know you are sure to succeed.

JUNIOR CLASS

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY A fire was to be started! A fire of success! On a September morning in 1935 the kindling wood was obtained by an enthusiastic group of boys and girls. Then followed the buying of books—mountains of them. Of course the fire could not be complete without adding a few musicians and basketball players. We even had parts in the operetta, "The Purple Pigeon" in which we enjoyed taking part—yes, we were very successful in getting the fire's foundation. In our sophomore year we applied a match and set this kindling aflame. This we did by various contributions to the school's activity program. We gave the incoming "rookies" what we considered a real reception. And so another slick of wood was roaring and crackling in the fire of achievement. During this past year we have kept the fire burning by putting on more wood in all school activities. Selected ones were chosen to attend the State Music Festival and our two debaters, George Nitchie and Ted Peach displayed outstanding talent during the school year. Thus another year has passed; the fire is crackling merrily but in order to keep it so, we must put on a few more logs next year.

After the reception which was given to us by the Class of '39, we felt better acquainted with the faculty and student body. The remainder of the year passed swiftly and we looked forward with pleasure to the next year. When School opened in the fall, we started seeking revenge on the incoming Freshman Class, a task to which we had been looking forward. After the Freshman Reception we settled down to our school work; but soon candidates for the basket ball team, debating team, and various other clubs were wanted, so we were there to do our share in every thing. As this school year draws to a close, we are looking forward to two more happy and exciting years of high school life.

FRESHMAN CLASS

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY On September 7, 1937, a large group of Freshmen entered Northfield High School to take up the sludies and activities left to us by the preceding class. How different was the class routine! We received our quota of initiating and razzing, but that was soon forgotten when the Sophomores gave us a delightful reception in October. There we were formally introduced to the members of the faculty and we became much better acquainted with the other students. We gave of our time and talents wherever possible and felt very proud of our assembly programs. For us, this has been a very pleasant school year, and we sincerely hope that the Freshmen next year will be as happy as we have been in our firsl year of high school.

ORCHESTRA

CONCERT

A fine concert, under the supervision of Mrs. Whitney, was presented on Friday evening, April 22, in the high school assembly hall. The program, which was varied and well executed, gave an excellent indication of the time and effort Mrs. Whitney spent in making this concert such a success. MUSIC FESTIVAL It was on the morn of April the 29th, 1938, that twenty-seven excited boys and girls left for the State Music Festival at Burlington. Despite the extremely damp weather, this year's Music Festival proved one never to be forgotten! ! And all was not play either, for both the All-State Chorus and Orchestra labored many hours in preparation for the "big" concert on April 30. What a thrill to sing in a chorus of six hundred and play in an orchestra of one hundred and seventy-five. A new feature was added this year to the festival activities—that being an All-State Band with a hundred and fifty players. Every year the Music Festival proves a bigger and better success than ever before. May this success continue.

ORCHESTRA Thursday! Three thirty! A sound of music bursts forth from the portals of the assembly hall and we immediately know that the orchestra is dutifully practising. Whether working on music for the Senior Play, the State Music Festival, or Commencement each member seems to get an unlimited amount of pleasure and instruction during this short hour of rehearsal. We have indeed been fortunate to have Mrs. Whitney make our orchestra the success that it has been during our four years in High School.

SEA/TOR PLAY On March nth, the Senior Class presented "The Colonel's Maid", a three-adt comedy, at the Norwich Armory. A large audience was present to acclaim the play a success. Colonel Robert Rudd (Bernard Flood) of South Carolina and Colonel Richard Byrd (Thomas Donahue) of North Carolina are extremely antagonistic over a duel fought between them several years ago. Colonel Byrd's daughter, Marjorie, (Myslie Wood) posing as Colonel Rudd's maid, and Bob Rudd, Jr. (Tedd Martin) whom Colonel Byrd knows only as Tom Fosler, are trying to gain the consent of both the Colonels to their marriage. Mrs. Carroll, Colonel Rudd's esteemed sisler-in-law from the North (Louise Davis) and her daughter, Julia (Phyllis Shepard) arrive on a visit and find the bachelor establishment in a slate of chaos and disorder. Ned Graydon, Julia's fiance who has a faulty memory (Bradley Hart) is an old friend of young Bob Rudd's and pays him a visit to be near Julia. He tries to win his way into Mrs. Carroll's heart as a salesman. But Mrs. Carroll and Colonel Rudd, who are certain that Bob's marriage to Julia would be ideal, have decided to do their utmosl to bring the two together. As the play progresses, Colonel Rudd calls his lawyer, Mr. Baskom (Max Hall) and threatens to disinherit his son and adopt his charming maid, whom he is sure was born of wealthy parents.

When all else fails, Julia and Ned with the clever assistance of Bob and Marjorie and the tricky and aslute Chinese cook, Ching-A-Ling (Mary Connarn) defy Mrs. Carroll and elope. In the final act, everyone's identity becomes known and as the curtain goes down on the third act, we see one big happy family with all the little misunderstandings settled to everyone's satisfaction.

BOYS' BASKETBALL Our hopes for a winning basketball team finally became a reality this year. Coach Erickson had several veterans around which to build his 37-38 team. After losing the opening game to Morrisville, we took seven straight games before being beaten by Winooski by one point. We closed the season with a loss to Burlington at the Northern District State Tournament, 31-9. There will be only two regulars lost to the team by graduation; Eddie Maltese and Tommy Mayo, Co-captains.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL Although we started practice rather late this year, under the keen direction of Semira Abascal, we had a very successful season. We didn't start off very well by losing two practice games to the Alumnae but from then on we made up for those two games. Our big moment came when we defeated Randolph after having been defeated by them earlier in the season. It was the first time in years that a Northfield girls' team has defeated a Randolph team. During the season we won three games, tied one and lost two. All in all we closed one of the most successful seasons since girls' basketball has become a sport at Northfield High School.

DEBATINQ SKI TEAM The ski team had a very successful year considering how late we were in getting smarted. The following boys went to Barre to attend a ski meet there between Spaulding and Northfield: Earl Cruickshank, George Cofrin, Ralph Boardman, Tedd Martin, and Bob Emerson. We were handicapped because we had not practiced the events, but we lost by only a few points. On March nth we went to Mt. Mansfield to the interscholastic ski meet. We had keen competition and didn't do very well but at least had the fun of going. Those participating in the meet at Mt. Mansfield were: George Cofrin, Earl Cruickshank, Tedd Martin, Ralph Boardman, Bob Emerson, Leo Rossi, Forest Hammond, Jr., George Webster, and Lawrence Cruickshank. Next year, all of you boys, get your skiis out and waxed early, so that we can get a quick start—for we are really going to go places!

TEAM

Northfield High's debating team was unique this year in the fact that it was made up of four mighty males—none of the fairer sex being represented, although several young ladies did appear during early discussion of the subject—Resolved that the several slates should amend their constitutions to provide for unicameral legislatures. ("No, we didn't know anything about it, either," say the boys, "but a little reading fixed us up.") Despite the fact that "Miss Barrett's boys"—George Nitchie, Dick Davis, Ted Peach, and Eddie Maltese—, excepting one, had never had any previous debating experience, they did manage to scrape up favorable ballots from sixteen judges, while the opposition earned eight ballots. Winning the district championship from Bethel and Randolph, the boys next edged out Essex Junction, Prodtor, and Burlington. In the State finals, however, they lost to Spaulding by a two to one decision. Although the team didn't reach the highest goal, the boys and their •coach deserve much credit, for they did spend time and energy practicing and discussing the question. (Some little birds say that these discussions, or out-and-out arguments, which oftentimes wandered from unicameralism to politics and the National Guard, were the secret of the team's success.) But whatever the case may be, each one concerned has "gained a little more than he had before" and has put something away between his ears that will come in mighty handy in years to come—something that money cannot .buy nor any one take away.

NORTHFIEL.D HIGH SCHOOL

DRAMATIC CLUB Northfield High's unique "Club-without-a-name" completed the second year since its establishment with the same popularity it received the firs! year. The early part of the year's program was devoted to the production of brief sketches and individual presentations for the benefit of the club members. These Wednesday evening gatherings afforded fine recreation and social enjoyment for the three upper classes represented in the club. John ProvosVs antics, along with Robert Cole's parlor tricks, were only a few of the outstanding entertainments that sent many a laugh ringing through the assembly. The latter part of the year's program called for the discussion of several one-act plays purchased by the club members with their nickel-a-meeting dues. Two of these plays—a drama, "Ambition", and a drama-comedy, "Party Line"—were selected for public presentation. With an efficient "boosl" now and then from a very efficient faculty advisor, Miss Salmond, the Dramatic Club is able to say that it has served its purpose well, and that the members, through cooperation, have found pleasure and profit.

LITERARY CLUE A new extra-curricular activity was instituted this year in the form of a Literary Club, under the capable direction of Miss Barrett. The aim of this organization is, as the name suggests, to create a better appreciation of good literature. So far there has been an excellent representation from each class, all of whom seem to have enjoyed themselves. True, only a beginning has been made, but this beginning has been such that we feel justified in hoping for a bigger and better club in the future.

FRESHMAN RECEPTION During the latter part of October the Freshmen were formally welcomed to the school regime by a reception given by the Sophomores. The hall was attractively decorated in the class colors of blue and gold. Following the reception there was a dance, with music furnished by Salty and his Revelers. This affair was commendably presented and very favorably received by all present. THURSDAY PROGRAM A success? You said it! Variety? You said it again! That seems to sum up the Thursday Morning Programs in a nutshell. This year, again, each class presented two programs, one making up the boys' group and the other the girls'. How could we forget the Senior Boys' Christmas party, the Freshman Girls' kindergarten—and oh yes, the Junior Girls' unique nautical show? CHORUS

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The club got under way by electing the following officers: President, Vera Slack; Vice President, Iris Dubuque; Secretary, Katherine Handley; Treasurer, Neva Thurston; Chairman of Program Committee,. Agnes Henry; Chairman of Refreshment Committee, Doris Provost. These objectives were adopted by the members of the club: 1. to help others 2. to have fun 3. to improve ourselves During last fall we smarted on our first objective by working on a Christmas box to send to the child adopted by the Home Economics Department. Due to the cooperative spirit of the girls, we were able to send the child a large JDOX of useful presents, many of which were made by the girls. Our second objective was carried out in the form of a Christmas party which we all enjoyed. Small gifts were received and we were all surprised by the appearance of Santa Claus. We were fortunate in being given a very useful demonstration on "Beauty Culture" by Mrs. Helwig and a very interesting talk on "Travels"" by Mr. Flemming. Thus our third objective was carried out successfully..

Listen! What's all the commotion? Oh yes, I should have known. It's the Juniors and Seniors just getting out of music period and feeling in high spirits to think they are getting out of school early. But listen, here come the Freshmen and Sophomores rushing down the stairs eager for their weekly singing. And there you are, whether one group or the other is singing first, both enjoy it equally during their respective singing periods. Much credit is due to Mrs. Whitney who so willingly directs us during chorus. And it does make us feel so much better to exercise our lungs a bit. Wouldn't you like to be there on the day that the chorus of "Celito Lindo" is sung correctly? MAGAZINE PARTY After the shouts had receded from the sides represented by the Yankees and Giants, it was revealed that each side had sold as many subscriptions as the other. To make a perfect ending a box social was held in the high school assembly. Games, singing and dancing were enjoyed followed by the auctioning of the boxes. Everybody acclaimed the party a grand success.

She filled a basin with water and put a pile of dirt in the middle, thus showing that an island is a piece of land surrounded by water. "N3w, Tommy," she said, "what is an island?" "An island is a hunk of dirt in the wash basin," answered Tommy.

MY SON "Look here," the poet gasped to the editor. "I wrote a poem about my little boy and began a verse with these words, 'My son, my pigmy counterpart.' Read this, and see what your compositor did to my opening lines." The editor read, "My son, my pig, my counterpart." ONE DIRECTION ONLY Mary, why didn't you wash that window? demanded the lady of the house. MARY :—Sure, and I did wash it on the inside, ma'am, so we could look out, but I thought I wouldn't wash the outside so those curious people next door couldn't look in. TESTED WILLIE :—Ma, if the baby was to eat tadpoles, would it give him a big bass voice like a frog? MOTHER :—Good gracious, no ! They'd kill him. WILLIE :—Well, they didn't. QUITE A DIFFERENCE TEACHER :—Johnny, can you tell the class how much difference there is between the words notorious and famous? JOHNNY:—Offhand, I'd say just as much as there is between the smell of limberger cheese and that of a rose.

"Yes, of course," said the headmaster, "although Latin is, as you know,, a dead language." Well, all the better. Albert's going to be an undertaker. FOOLED HIS FATHER Little Dick was helping his mother at a Sunday night supper by carrying in the dessert, which happened to be pie. Entering the dining-room with the first piece, he walked over and gave it to his father, who politely handed it to the guest on his right. Dick came back with another plate, and seeing his father did not have any, again gave it to him. His father passed this piece to the person on his left. When Dick came in with the third plate, he walked over to his father, handed him the plate and said, "It's no use, Daddy, they're all the same size." TEACHER :—What is the height of happiness? HELENA M. (Dreamily):—In my case he's about five feet, eight inches.

Before taking a Knapp in the Woods one day He thought he heard some Bells ring But 'twas only an old French Shepard Who a song was trying to sing. The Ladd deciding to Stedz the tune Jumped up with a Spear in his hand Landon the Shepard upon the ground He licked him to beat the band. A Lyon came by who was Cross as could be And seeing the two fighting so hard Let out a roar like a Cannon it seemed The earth shook for more than a yard. The two jumped up, AiJ^in with pain, Getting one glimpse of the beast More than a Qross of miles were passed And so the Lyon got no feast.

U. S. Reserve Officer's Training Corps Cavalry Unit Academic Courses Leading to THE DEGREE B.A. OR B.S. Arts, Chemistry, General Science, Civil Engineering, and Military Science. Military instruction, practice and discipline are required of all cadets throughout their stay in the college in faith that a citizen is not fully equipped for his duty to the State unless he is trained for service in its defense as well as for its upbuilding. The story of our Nation's struggles for existence justifies this faith. "The liberties of Rome were safe while military information was generally diffused and every Roman citizen considered and felt himself a soldier."—Captain Alden Partridge, Founder of Norwich University.
