Northfield High School Building photographed at dusk 'when all hearts homeward turn'

FOREWORD For eighteen years it has been the custom for the graduating class to present in permanent form a record of their achievements and aspirations during the four years in which they have been a part of Northfield High School. With this end in view, bearing in mind the responsibility of upholding the high standard set by preceding classes, the Class of Nineteen Thirty-nine presents this, the nineteenth consecutive issue of

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 first 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. Its charter was granted in 1872.

THE RAMBLER

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.

Although it is necessary for them to get after us occasionally, we're after them most of the time. They hold world records for patience. On the go so continuously, working so incessantly, we wonder if they ever find time to really relax and enjoy life—but they must, for they've spent four years showing us the way to get the most and the best out of life. And so we hereby solemnly pledge ourselves to fight to the end—be it bitter or sweet—for those ideals which they have striven to impart to us. May their labors be fruitful.

SENIOR CLASS In 1935 Old Man Time dropped a stone into the puddle of fortune. The stone was the class of '39—our class. The ripples spread out and engulfed the subjects of science and language. They washed over the pebbles of school activities, school plays, school music. They seeped through the sands of accomplishment and trickled through the crevasses of success. They wet the grasses of ambition and caused the flowers of culture to sprout from starving seedlings. A few drops of water were lost. Several evaporated. After four years the stone rested on dry, clean sand. But the stone looked unlike any other stone. It glittered— it shone. It was gold—not a soft, easily molded gold—but a hard, rugged composition. We hope the gold never tarnishes—we know we'll polish it often.

Think of it! Four years' time—exactly 1/25 of a century! Yet that's the precise period the Senior Class has spent in secondary training. Have they profited? A few, it is hoped. Let's glance at the records. Ever outstanding in music, this whistling class has always dominated Mrs. Whitney's orchestra, supplying a larger percentage of members than any other class. Approximately one-half of this year's orchestra consisted of Seniors—all excellent musicians. (Just ask any of the enthusiastic audiences!) N. H. S.'s last operetta "The Purple Pigeon" boasted a principal from the Class of '39 (then "Rooks"), as well as countless outstanding vocalists in the choruses. The Sophomore year may be regarded as a preparation ground for the two busy years to follow, since during this second high school year, the class members spent their time in learning how model pupils act, think, and speak. They kept in the background as much as possible, absorbing the wisdom of, and profiting from the excellent examples set by the upperclassmen. The Junior year saw an increase in aggravating reforms and pipe dreams. Among the outstanding "reforms", and one that drew the "hostility" of faculty and school board, was the furnishing of hard chairs at the Senior Reception, instead of the usual luxurious over-stuffed davenports. However, little was said since two members had won or stolen or something their way into the State Debating Finals. But now the last year, the greatest year! Class meetings, elections, arguments, proposals, bright ideas, fights, parties, dances—the list is endless! Yet it must be mentioned that in the material sense, this mighty class (some one suggested for the Class Motto "Our conceit is colossal") furnished the leader in basketball as well as a half dozen outstanding players. Also the work of the Seniors for the Music Festivals in Burlington must not be overlooked, since many enjoyable and industrious hours were spent, both vocally and instrumentally, in preparations for these long-awaited celebrations. Despite the many arguments, internally and with the Faculty, over the many questions of grave importance to high school Seniors—among which plans for the "Rambler" and graduation are outstanding—the Seniors as a whole, it is hoped, have stretched their weary cobwebbed brains sufficiently to gain at least a little common sense, if not deep knowledge, with which to make this life a bit more enjoyable and fruitful, not only for themselves, but also for their associates.

Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Captain Basketball 4; Dramatic Club 2, 3; Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; Home Economics Club 1, 2; "Purple Pigeon" 1; Glee Club 4; Senior Play. Daring, vivacious, athletic Lee! As modern as a swing band! Gay companions—lively surroundings—all serve to bring out the best in this colorful, darkeyed Senorita. As for her craze for color—just inquire about her sentiments concerning "Bed".

Chorus Strive, strive and succeed This is our creed, May it remain Through wind and rain Always the same. Though skies be dark, Though we should fail, God pilots us, Onward we'll sail.

Robert's ambition seems to be, as far as we can see, to keep everyone about him in stitches, and thus far he has succeeded pretty well. All the Seniors know him for his ability to see the bright side of things and keep smiling. He's a friend to all, and particularly, so the story goes, to a cute little number from the sophomore class. Be that as it may, as long as you can see the funny side of things, "Bob", you'll have no trouble making friends wherever you go.

Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; AllState Orchestra 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Winooski Valley Orchestra 3, 4; Festival Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4; Cheer Leader 4; Property Manager, OneAct Play 4; Assistant Alumni Editor, Rambler 4; Chorus, "Purple Pigeon" 1; Senior Play. Here is a boy, who, until a year or so ago, was quiet and unassuming. But now, if you happen to see a crowd and investigate, you are almost sure to find Stanley in the middle, telling something which is holding his onlookers spellbound. With such a likeable personality, Stanley, you are sure to go places.

Schoolboy Patrol 3, 4; Dramatic Club 3. Everett's unusual gift seems to be an ability to get along with anyone. It's practically impossible to pick a quarrel with him, and it's even harder than that to help liking him. With his cheery "Hi, buck" and his infectious grin, we feel sure that he's going to go right on being everybody's friend. Hang onto that gay disposition, Everett, and you'll come smilin' through.

DARWOOD BILLINGS "Dinky" Ambition: Civil Service. Sweetest Memory: Playing Basketball. Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Schoolboy Patrol 2, 3; Chorus, "Purple Pigeon" 1; Winooski Valley Orchestra 3, 4; All-State Orchestra 3, 4; Festival Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4; Cheer Leader 4; Assistant Alumni Editor, Eambler Staff. Darwood is one of those individuals who definitely do not believe that silence is golden. His effect on an ordinarily quiet and sedate gathering can best be compared to that of a bombshell. As a trumpet player, he is quite as remarkable, though a bit less explosive. Whatever he may be doing, however, he's a friendly and likeable chap, with a gift for getting along with anyone. Keep up the good work, Danvood.

ALLEN J. CANNON "Albie" Ambition: A Successful Business Man. Sweetest Memory: Festival. Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; AllState Chorus 4; Basketball 3, 4; Schoolboy Patrol 2, 3, 4; Co-Captain 4; Captain Magazine Contest 4; Class Treasurer 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4; Literary Club 3, 4; Secretary-Treasurer 4; Advertising Manager, Eambler Staff 4; "Purple Pigeon" 1. If we were to choose someone to represent the spirit of the Class of '39, this young gentleman would, beyond a doubt, be our unanimous choice. His capable managing of our finances has given him an unquestioned right to this position, while his efficiency as a chocolate-bar salesman is a thing of wonder to us all. He may not succeed in sending us to the World's Fair on our class ride, but he certainly has done his best. Many "happy days" to you, "Albie".

DOLORES DUBOIS "Dee Dee" Ambition: Great Violinist. Sweetest Memory: Music Festival, 1938.

Ambition: To own a Model "T" Ford. Sweetest Memory:

Summer Vacation.

Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Winooski Valley Orchestra 2, 3, 4; All-State Orchestra 3, 4; Concert Mistress, 4; Basketball Manager 2, 3; Assistant Basketball Manager 4; "Purple Pigeon" 1; Dramatic Club 3 ; Home Economics Club 2; Chorus 4; Festival Orchestra 1, 2, 3 4. A true musician and a grand pal—her violin gives forth as mellow and rich tones as does the warmth of her friendship. Her flashing dark eyes and black ringlets have many times been found to be the center of attraction for a group of admirers. May your future have as many high lights as did your days at N. H. S., "Dee Dee"!

Glee Club 3, 4; All-State Chorus 3, 4; Chorus 3, 4; Orchestra 3, 4. "Bob" may not lead the class of '39 in a scholastic way, but when he begins to play his saxophone, everybody starts to sit up and listen. We have every reason to believe that, in the near future, his name will be up alongside that of Artie Shaw. And so, here's to our Broadway bright-light-to-be; happy tootin' "Bob"!

GERALD DICKINSON Ambition:

"Dick"

Salesman.

Sweetest Memory:

Sophomore Class.

Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; "The Purple Pigeon" 1; Schoolboy Patrol 4; Stage and Property Manager of Senior Play. Presenting Roxbury's contribution to the class of '39. One of his chief problems in life seems to be gettir>~ Rich, and we don't mean wealthy, either. The other is in keeping on good terms with everyone. We can't be positive about the first, but we do know that he has met with nothing but success in the second. So here's to you, Gerald. May you get along everywhere as well as you have in high school.

MALCOLM GOODENOUGH Ambition:

"Male"

Engineer.

Sweetest Memory:

Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Festival Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; All-State Orchestra 2, 3, 4. Quiet?—Until you get to know him. Unassuming?—We wonder. Hard to get acquainted with?—Maybe, but we don't think so. Musician?—Was Beethoven? That's "Male". He claims he wants to be a mechanic and if he can make an ailing motor sound as well as he makes a piano sound, he will always be in great demand.

ESTHER HARRIS Ambition: History Teacher, and owner of kennel of prize-winning dogs. Sweetest Memory: The teachers I loved and revered. Literary Club 3; Home Economics Club 4. This young lady enjoys the unique distinction of being the only one of our classmates to habitually conduct herself with the proverbial senior dignity. Her poise remains unruffled under any circumstances whatsoever. You don't often see her name in the headlines, for she isn't the type who goes flashing around looking for publicity. When she does get into the news, however, you can be sure it's for a good reason. Witness her record in the poetry contest. We can't help admiring and respecting you, Esther.

DONALD KING Ambition:

"Don'

Aviator.

Sweetest Memory: eight.

Two minutes past

Donald hasn't been with us for all four years, but during the time he has been here, he has very definitely succeeded in making an impression. His arguments in history class and his agitation for a two-day school week give him a permanent place among the outstanding figures of the class of '39. We feel certain that he will make a name for himself as a successful politician.

JOHN JAY

"Johnny"

Ambition: Navy. Sweetest Memory: The Sophomore Class Bide. Literary Club 3. John may not be in the spot light a great deal of the time, but don't let that fool you. His extemporaneous remarks have made more than one dignified and serious-minded class burst into guffaws. His arguments in trig class will go down in history, not so much for mathematical discussions as for masterpieces of wit and humor. That ability to see the funny side of everything is going to stand him well, in later life. Hang onto it, John.

EVERETT LADD Ambition:

"Bud"

Automobile Dealer.

Sweetest Memory: Vacation. Chorus "Purple Pigeon" 1; Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 4; Secretary, Kambler Staff 4; Senior Play. As Everett slyly chews his gum, his mind is inclined to soar from the problems of high school to the freedom of the heavens, accompanied by the whir of an airplane motor, for his ambition is to be a second Corrigan.

HELENA MCCARTHY "Nene" Ambition: Teacher. Sweetest Memory: Basketball Games and Trips. Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; All-State Orchestra 4; Winooski Valley Orchestra 4; Honor Roll 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Co-Captain Basketball 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4; One Act Play "Ambition" 4; "Purple Pigeon" 1; Assistant Literary Editor, Rambler Staff 4; Senior Play. Pep, vim, and vigor—that's Helena. Give her a swing band and someone to dance with, and time ceases to exist as far as she's concerned. But don't get the idea that all Helena thinks about is having a good time. Whether it's basketball, dramatics, or just plain work, she is right on hand, willing and able to do her part. We can truly say that we're fortunate in having her as a classmate.

HENRY A. McCAULEY Ambition: Man.

"Hank"

Be a Successful Business

Sweetest Memory:

School Parties.

Orchestra 1, 2; "Purple Pigeon" 1; Basketball 3, 4; All-State Chorus 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Senior Play. Henry is our class economist and bigbusiness man. He seems to be a permanent member of Northfield High School's brain trust. Almost any day after school you'll see him in the midst of a group of seniors, earnestly discussing class problems of the deepest import. Outside of this political activity, we all know him as a good-natured and staunch friend. You have our best wishes, "Mac".

ELIZABETH McCAULEY Ambition: Home.

Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4; Literary Club 4; Home Economics Club 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 4; All-State Chorus 4; "Purple Pigeon" 1; Bank Cashier 2; Senior Play. Everyone who is "down in the dumps" just naturally turns to Lizzi, and after listening to her merry chatter for just a short while, the world seems to take on a rosy hue. And why not? Her infectious grin is enough to make anyone feel that everything is all right. She's a grand girl, yes, a "peach".

ROLF MOODY Ambition:

"Jeep"

Aeronautical Engineer.

Sweetest Memory: Class rides. Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; All-State Chorus 4; Ski team 4. Rolf's principal claim to fame is in the capacity of a skier. They say that when he starts down hill, all the trees just stand aside. That's all right, Rolf, don't let them kid you. You're a jolly good fellow and a better sport, and you can take our word for it, we're glad to know you.

Sweetest Memory: The day after final exams. Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 3, 4; All-State Chorus 3, 4; Festival Glee Club 3; Festival Orchestra 3, 4; Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4; "Greener Grass" 2; "Purple Pigeon" Chorus 1; Honor Roll 1, 2, 3, 4; President, Literary Club 3, 4; Debating team 3, 4; Senior Play 4; Literary Editor, Rambler Staff; German Band 4; Prize Speaking 3. In George, the class of '39 can justly boast of a very brilliant classmate. Nothing better expresses our sentiments concerning him than

When Schubert composed "Who is Sylvia?", he must have had our own Sylvia in mind. "That all our swains do woo her" so aptly applies to this very dignified brunette. "Who is Sylvia?" indeed, for few realize how many worthwhile characteristics she hides beneath that exterior of calm reserve. A thoroughly grand person to know—the best of luck is none too good for you, Sylvia.

"And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew That one small head could carry all he knew." Aside from being a scholarly sort of person, "Nitch" has won much acclaim as a debater and actor. But don't be mis-

THOMAS E. NASH Ambition:

"Tommy"

To be successful.

Sweetest Memory: tion, '35.

Freshman Recep-

Chorus 2, 3, 4; Schoolboy Patrol 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4. This hale and hearty young gentleman is South Northfield's representative to N. IT. S. His chief function here has been to keep the first period American History class amused, and we can assure you that he has certainly succeeded. He may not head the class scholastically, but as a laugh producer, he's close to the top. Just stay cheerful, "Tom", and you'll come through all right.

LIBERTY PANDO "Lib" Ambition: Beautician. Sweetest Memory: When I was a Freshman. Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4; Home Economics Club 2; Girls' Basketball Manager 4; "Purple Pigeon" Dances and Chorus 1; Rambler Staff; Glee Club 3, 4; All-State Chorus 4; Usher 3; Senior Play. A daughter of old Spain with the ability to dance as only those of Spanish origin are able. If it's a tango, a rhumba, or our own shag, "Lib" has its intricate steps perfected. No school gathering, dance, or party is complete without her friendly smile and plentitude of ideas to keep things moving at a merry pace. As for your future, you certainly have the best wishes of all, "Lib".

'-uided by these things, because he really possesses a wonderful sense of humor. Briefly, he is an all-round person.

Here's our big and flashy class executive, who makes all the young ladies' hearts beat a little faster when he says "Hello".

"Dot" is a tiny girl, who this year suddenly became very enthusiastic about basketball. At first it was a mystery to all, but before long it was rumored about that a certain virile blond was the chief drawing point. "Dot" owes her unbounded popularity to many virtues, but most important of all is her sweet smile and gay disposition. neighbors in sixth period study hall, he keeps us all wondering how he does it. He's a fellow we can't help liking. We wish him the best ever.

FRED PERRA Ambition:

"Freddy"

Aviation.

Sweetest Memory: Graduation Day. Schoolboy Patrol 1, 2. Freddie is a tall, blue-eyed blond who seems to be a rather serious person at first. But that isn't the real Freddie, for we know him as the chief cutter-upper in study hall. He's ever ready to set his neighbors into peals of laughter over his ready witticisms. No, he certainly isn't a "Stearn"-s person.

JOHN S. PROVOST "Bert" Ambition: A Good Chef. Sweetest Memory: When the baseball team was organized. Basketball 2, 4; Schoolboy Patrol 2, 3, 4; "Purple Pigeon" 1; Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; All-State Chorus 4: Festival Glee Club 3; Glee Club 3, 4; Alumni Editor, Rambler Staff; President, Dramatic Club 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4; Bank Cashier 2; Cheer Leader 3; Senior Play 4. If John spent as much time studying as he does amusing his neighbors and pestering the teachers, he'd be our star pupil. However, things like that just don't seem to happen, at least, not in John's case. Be that as it may, he's a real live wire, and we don't mean maybe. He keeps things humming around school in a way that makes everyone take notice. Yes, sir, John, it's fellows like you who get things done right. Keep it up.

Without her to help us out on everything from class meetings to turkey raffles, our four years at N. H. S. wouldn't have been quite so successful. We feel sure that she is going to keep right on making friends and getting things done. Our hats are off to you, Vera.

Chorus I, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 3, 4; AllState Chorus 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Schoolboy Patrol 3, 4; Dramatic Club 3; "Purple Pigeon", Chorus 1; Literary Club 4; Secretary, Bambler Staff. If Donald had never done anything else, his performance on the basketball floor would give him a permanent place in Northfield High School's hall of fame. He's no temperamental player, as his consistently high record shows. And you can count on him to do his part in every day life just as well as you can in a game. The world needs more fellows like you, Donald.

WINONA SANDERS Ambition:

Nurse.

Sweetest Memory: The day I lost the title of "Bookie". "The Purple Pigeon" 1; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Home Economics Club 2; All-State Chorus 4; Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; Senior Play. You don't hear a great deal about Winona, but don't let that lead you to the erroneous conclusion that she's an unimportant member of the class. She's always ready to help out with anything that needs to be done. Add to this the fact that she likes a good time as well as anyone, and you have a practically irresistible combination. We hope you make as good a nurse as you have a classmate, "Nonie".

MARGARET SPEAR "Peg" Ambition: To be a millionaire. Sweetest Memory: When I became a Senior.

This demure and dignified young lady is Peggy, everybody's friend. Friendly, good-natured, and optimistic, she's the kind of girl you like to know. We wonder what the orchestra would do without her dependability. Everything considered, she is, without a doubt, one of the outstanding members of the class of '39. You're a friend worth having, "Peggy".

ROBERT TEMPLETON "Temp" Ambition: Designer. Sweetest Memory: The sweet smiles of the teachers during mid-year exams. Banking Dept. 1, 2; "Purple Pigeon" 1; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Honor Boll 1, 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 3; Literary Club 3, 4; Bepresentative at Green Mt. Boys' State 3; Class VicePresident 3, 4; 1st State Prize Winner in Air-Mail Week Poster Contest 3; 1st prize in Fidac Contest 3; All-State Chorus 4; Art Editor, Bambler Staff 4; German Band 4; Co-Editor of "Monday Morning Breakfast Breaks"; Senior Play. Robert is justly noted for a number of things. His artistic and scholastic abilities need no mention. As for his knowledge of the theory and practice of swing, we're expecting him to take over Benny Goodman's position any day. He is an unquestioned authority on hill-billy dialect, and his stock of wisecracks is inexhaustible. Whether he turns out to be a second Picasso, a ryhthm king, or another Phil Baker, he's going to make a name for himself, and we're not foolin'!

"Dick"

Merchant.

Sweetest Memory: Class Bides. Honor Boll 1, 2, 3, 4; Schoolboy Patrol 4; Assistant Business Manager, Bambler. Bichard may not be particularly noted for his size, but then, neither was Napoleon. And furthermore, hasn't it been said that the best things come in the smallest packages? Well, Bichard is no exception to that rule, as we have found out in our four years in high school. Friendly and congenial, he's the sort of fellow you like to know. We're all for you, Bichard.

LUCIEL A. TARDIF

"Lou"

Ambition: A Good Secretary. Sweetest Memory: When I went to the Festival all four years. Glee Club 3, 4; Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; "Purple Pigeon" 1; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; All-State Orchestra 3, 4; Festival Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Winooski Valley Orchestra 3, 4; Bank Cashier 1; Dramatic Club 3; Literary Club 3, 4; Secretary, Bambler Staff 4. This tiny blond gives the impression of being very subdued. Appearances are deceitful, for you would have a hard time finding a more vivacious young lady anywhere. An excellent violinist, she certainly is a big part of the orchestra. Handle all your affairs as well as you do your violin "Lou" and you'll be a welcome addition to any business.

NEVA THURSTON Ambition:

"Nete"

Dental Nurse.

Sweetest Memory: Commencement. Chorus, "Purple Pigeon" 1; Treasurer, Home Economics Club 3; Glee Club 4; Senior Play. Neva was a very welcome new-comer in our Freshman year. She keeps herself in the background for the most part, but she has only to be told that she is needed and you'll find her working with a strong determination to overcome any obstacle. In her unobstrusive manner she has been an indispensable aid. If it takes persistency to succeed, Neva, you ABE a success!

GEORGE WEBSTER "Web" Ambition: Foreign Representative of some large commercial house. Sweetest Memory: Basketball.

This young gentleman's favorite pastimes seem to be arguing, discussing classical literature, and talking about the opposite sex. Most of us have given up indulging in the first named of these loves of his; however—it just doesn't do any good. All of us have talked ourselves blue in the face more than once, but without avail. He absolutely refuses to be convinced. Well, George, if you stick to your life work the same way, you'll come through all right.

Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; Chorus "Purple Pigeon" 1; Schoolboy Patrol 2, 3, 4; CoCaptain Schoolboy Patrol 4 ; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Co-Captain Basketball 4; AllState Chorus 4; Rambler Staff, Associate Editor; Secretary-Treasurer 1; VicePresident 2; Dramatic Club 3, 4; Treasurer, Dramatic Club 4; Stage and property manager, Senior Play. A boy of such versatility that it is difficult to enumerate his various activities. "Baa" is the heart-breaker that so many times has made the headlines of the "Monday Morning Breakfast Breaks". At the basketball tournament, the enthusiasm of his supporters practically brought down the house at his appearance on the floor after a long period of being unable to play. Now, as then, we're all cheering for you, "Baa".

RICHARD WILMOTT "Dick" Ambition: Teacher. Sweetest Memory: Webster's discussions in American History. Basketball 4; Debating Manager 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4; Property Manager of Dramatic Club 4; Schoolboy Patrol 1, 2; Assistant Basketball Manager 3; Assistant Property and Stage Manager, One Act Play Contest 4; Secretary, Rambler 4; Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; Business Manager, Senior Play. The basketball boys' manager and what a manager! The boys certainly owe a great part of their success this season to him. His cheerful outlook and helpful hints brought them over many a rough spot. Just keep your friendly interest in people and you'll never be lonely, "Dick", for "the easiest way to have a friend is to be one".

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Expectant, eager, and a little timid, we approach the entrance of the Mine of Knowledge. We hardly know what is in store for us, but soon we are to find out. It is imposing to gaze upon this structure which is to prepare us for greater things to come. Gripping our picks and shovels, in the form of pencils and books, we make a brave start—but not without the more experienced guidance of those who have acquired the rich treasure of the mine.

Junior Class

Bit by bit we work our way through, chipping here and there. Some of the stones such as history and geography have deceiving appearances, they seem utterly useless. Rather skeptically we store them away, and find later we are glad we did. New members join the ranks. They are always welcome. Some are transferred to other mines, and others have the grand fortune to be advanced beyond the others. All the while our head lamps are searching for more hidden treasures. A huge boost comes when we ascend the shaft to the higher level. Here we greet new instructors, who tell us what the worthwhile rock contains. More equipment is given to us with which to dig at greater depths. But the memorable day arrives when we graduate into the Higher Mine of Knowledge. Here each one may pursue his own particular fancy and branch out in numerous tunnels. Our loads are rapidly gaining in weight and the jewels we find are more precious. At last the time comes when we emerge victorious into the sunshine of the future, clutching our rough and uncut jewels. It is then up to us to use and polish them to good advantage and discover their true worth. Hence we shall depart, some reluctantly and some eagerly, from the source of our riches to seek greater treasures in years to come.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On September 7, 1937, our little band of pioneers set forth on a four-year journey through high school. That first year, members of the group participated in the orchestra, glee clubs, ski team and basketball. It was fun journeying with the more advanced pioneers, and the teachers served as grand guides. We did work, lots of it, but we found enjoyment in it all. The second year of the journey started in September, 1938. Our band had diminished slightly and we had several new journeyers with us. We gave a reception for the Freshmen, and we feel it was enjoyed by all. Our pioneers again took part in many school activities: debating, the orchestra, glee clubs, and basketball teams. Ahead of us, we have two more years of good times, mixed with lots of work and the feeling of satisfaction when we reach our destination.

Freshman Class

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY If the different steps in education can properly be compared to jewels, we feel sure that the color of the Emerald fits the Freshman year in high school perfectly. The teachers and upperclassmen who saw us on the first day of school will heartily agree. But thanks to their kindness, after a week or so, we felt very much at home. On September twenty-third the Sophomore Class gave us a most enjoyable reception in the armory. Several members of the class took part in the debating team, basketball team, orchestra, glee club, and were on the honor roll. Now, of course, we are all looking forward to the summer vacation, but next fall when school opens again we'll be back as Sophomores. Watch out, Rooks!

All-State Glee Club and Orchestra ORCHESTRA THE MUSIC SEASON 1938-39 To lift thy voice and instrument in song—that is Nature's way of letting off extra steam. And under Mrs. Whitney's patient direction, the "steam-jetting" musicians of N. H. S. have been softened and molded into excellent musical groups. In whatever programs they have participated, from Labor Day to Commencement, the results have been pleasing to the hearts and ears of audience and singers alike. With the opening of school in the fall, the choruses commence rehearsals Friday afternoons, bi-weekly; the orchestra, Tuesday afternoons, weekly. It is a job to handle an energetic bunch of some one hundred odd boys and girls, but Mrs. Whitney does it, and does it so well that these orchestra and chorus rehearsals are awaited with great impatience. Due to the success of last year's Festival Fund Concert, another was presented this year on April 27. Including selections from Gilbert and Sullivan's "H. M. S. Pinafore", and from the Festival numbers, as well as special group and individual presentations, this Concert proved to be another great success. Then the long awaited Festival itself! May 5 and 6 at Burlington—two glorious days. After weeks of preparation for this gala event, 29 students qualified for the All-State groups. Several more played in the N. H. S. orchestra, Saturday P. M. The grand finale, the inspiring concert Saturday evening, climaxed two most enjoyable and instructive days. The word "Festival" shall always recall many thrilling memories to the students of N. H. S.—memories that "nevermore shall fade"!

SCHOOL BOY PATROL

"THE NINCOMPOOP"—SENIOR PLAY TIME—The present. PLACE—Tailoring establishment of Solomon Levi Ginsberg. Lights, curtain, and the play is on! The weekly paper edited by Bonny Parker (Helena McCarthy) is threatened with extinction by the local capitalist, Gordon Manville (John Provost). For solace and advice, Bonny appeals to The Nincompoop, J. Bryan Grimes (Ted Peach), the unappreciated tailor's boy with big ideas in Sol Ginsberg's (George Nitchie) tailor shop. By a bit of masquerading, The Nincompoop succeeds in getting into a party at the home of the aristocratic Mrs. Morgan (Winona Sanders), where he convinces Mr. Manville of the advisability of employing his (Grimes') services in preventing a strike pending in the local Manville-controlled textile mills. By a strict application of the plans fostered in the tailor shop, the Nincompoop averts the strike, obtains a highly paid position with Mr. Manville, and naturally gets the girl. Mrs. Krantz (Elizabeth McCauley), a widow with matrimonial intentions on the worthy Mr. Ginsberg; Rosie (Doris Provost), the latter's sentimental daughter; Peter (Robert Bean), as shop assistant; and Bradley (Henry McCauley), a visiting reporter in difficulties, add a humorous touch to the play. The cast is completed by Margaret Morgan (Vera Slack), the erring daughter of the local aristocracy; Mrs. Livingston (Sylvia Murdock), an eligible widow; Betty (Neva Thurston), her dumb daughter; the representatives of the mill workers (Everett Ladd, Stanley Britain, Robert Tcmpleton); a maid (Lena Abascal); and a secretary (Liberty Pando),

But on the other hand, if good basketball is measured in terms of good sportsmanship, clean play, and the ability to work as a team, they were most successful, under the very able coaching of Mr. Erickson. f.,. A difficult schedule kept them on the losing side but their keen determination to win only made them fight harder and caused several of the games to be very close. May the spirit of this team be an example for the future teams.

SKI TEAM Concentrating on downhill, slalom, and cross country, N. H. S.'s "Royal Knights of the Barrel Staves" really went places this year—the second since organization. The great success of this year's team has only added proof to the fact that N. H.

DEBATING TEAM Resolved: That the United States should establish an alliance with Great Britain. Fairly early in the year, a number of students appeared in Miss Barrett's room to learn the pro's and con's of that question. Some dropped out and some hadn't the time for it, but in spite of this, five active debaters were left at the end of the season—"Dick" Davis, George Nitchie, Curtis Webster, Conrad Dorries, and Louise Shutler. Rules for debating this year were different from those of years past, and we had to accustom ourselves to two two-man teams, ten minute constructive speeches, five minute rebuttals, and no conference period. Several non-decision practice debates with Montpelier, Spaulding, Bethel, and Randolph, however, fixed us up on these points. Then came the district tournament. Nitchie and Davis made up the affirmative team, while Webster and Dorries upheld the negative. Louise Shutler acted as one of the tournament chairmen, and Manager Dick Wilmott as time keeper. In the tournament debates, we weren't quite as successful as we had hoped. We, as well as Randolph, Bethel, and Spaulding, lost to Montpelier, whose teams participated in the state finals, losing to Burlington and Fair Haven. Although we didn't win top notch honors, we are far from feeling that we have gained nothing from our work. We have made a lot of new acquaintances, we have gotten an enlightened view of contemporary events, and, last but not least, we have found out that there can be two sides to almost any question.

LITERARY CLUB JOHN PROVOST ROBERT TEMPLETON ALMA GAYLORD STANLEY WOOD Miss SALMOND

Once more a successful year has been completed, the third in Northfield High's enterprising Dramatic Club. The meetings throughout the first half of the year were devoted to short oneact plays, enacted by various members. The three plays voted the most popular by the club were then presented before the school assembly, where they were heartily enjoyed (and applauded). Following a decision in favor of entering the district one-act play contest at Norwich, a short drama, "Ambition", was chosen, and as the result of several tryouts, the cast was made up of Mary Cruickshank, Ted Peach, Helena McCarthy, Robert Bean, and Peggy Stearns. Under the efficient guidance of Miss Salmond, these Thursday evening gatherings, much more pleasurable by the added enjoyment of refreshments, afforded the members many good times as well as beneficial knowledge in dramatics.

Northfield High's literary organization started out on its second year with a series of informal debates on various and sundry subjects of more-or-less general interest. Finding that meetings actively participated in by the members were fully as profitable as those led by outside speakers, it was decided to dispense with the latter feature entirely this year. Abiding by this decision, several enjoyable evenings were spent in the reading of short stories written by club members. A rather unexpected amount of talent was unearthed in this way. Now that the end of the year is in sight, we have been completing our plans for a banquet to finish our program. Having successfully completed its second year, we feel certain that the literary club has become a permanent institution at N- H. S. May it continue to be as successful as it has been thus far,

SCHOOL NOTES BASEBALL—About May 1, a baseball team was organized under the supervision of Coaches Reed and Erickson, with Dick Wilmott managing. Using the fair grounds for an athletic field and sporting new uniforms and equipment, the boys got off to a flying s^art, although there seemed to be a little difficulty in hitting fast balls. But "if at first you don't succeed, try, try, again." N. H. S. has had champ baseball teams. They can again. The squad included: Provost, Rossi, Hebert, Cannon, Perra, Roberts, Brusa, Caswell, Wood, A. DuBeau, McCauley, G. Webster, and Hammond. PARTIES—December 14, the school staged a Christmas party at the Scout Hall, which proved a magnificent success. Dancing (thanks to the Northfield Candy Kitchen's nickel machine), refreshments, and old, jolly, red-nosed Santa himself (Bob Bean)—all went to make a most merry evening for the 125. students present. March 17, the Home EC girls sponsored a St. Patrick's Day party— another grand success—at which Stan Wood and Sylvia Murdock were crowned carnival King and Queen.

HOMEMAKERS' JOLLY JUBILEE This year our club, which has been a source of pleasure and profit to all of its members, elected the following officers: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer

VERA SLACK MAUDE DAVIS ELIZABETH MCCAULEY ALBERTINE RICH

Due to the patient and efficient guidance of Miss Brown, with the loyal cooperation of the girls, we have been able to accomplish several worthwhile projects. One of the activities which has helped us to analyze and master the problems that confront us daily was an instructive and entertaining lecture by Miss Bessie Kingston, who presented a vivid picture of the beauties of our natural scenery, the modes of travel, and the wealth of fine arts in our museums which she saw in her travels across the United States. The early part of the year was devoted to making a Christmas box of clothing and toys which was sent to the Children's State Aid Society. We are glad to announce that our club has been a financial success, because of the Sandwich Sales, which netted a tidy sum; a very successful St. Patrick's School Party; and Hobo Day, when we were hired by the townspeople to do helpful tasks. We also presented an assembly program which consisted of musical numbers and three costume comedies: "Love Story of Captain John Smith", "Latest Thing in Book Reviews", and "Words! Words! Words!" By paying the expenses of the Annual Spring Fashion Show Winners and by purchasing some useful articles for the department, the club will have completed its objectives for the year.

THURSDAY MORNING PROGRAMS—Three outstanding programs were presented in the Assembly Hall this year, to the great enjoyment of the students. The first, that of the Music Department with "Nitch" as Master of Ceremonies and Mrs. Whitney supervising, consisted of a variety of group and individual selections, all excellently presented and in turn enthusiastically received. The Home EC club offered the second—a succession of hilarious take-offs on certain students and school activities, under the direction of Miss Brown, Peg Stearns be ing Mistress of Ceremonies. The third and last program was put on by the Dramatics Club with John Provost acting as Master of Ceremonies, Miss Salmond directing. It consisted of four side-splitting skits: "Betrayed", "The Proposal", "It Happens Every Day" and "A La Carte" (the Tooner family). The names are sufficient to recall the roars of laughter which greeted them. RECEPTIONS—As has been the custom for many years, the Freshmen were formally welcomed 'neath the mighty portals of N. H. S. by a reception given by the Sophomore Class early in the fall. Then in turn, the Junior Class is expected to bid farewell to the Seniors with a reception following the graduation exercises. These receptions are held in the Company F Armory, with some local orchestra furnishing the music for dancing. SENIORS AND POLITICS—For the purpose of allaying the political curiosity of the Seniors, Miss Burns .arranged to have them visit the legislature at Montpelier, February 23, and the Northfield Town Meeting, March 7. Both visits were most fascinating as well as instructive, especially the day at the Legislature, since Senator Denny and Representative Burns took the Class to dinner. HIGH SCHOOL COLUMN—This year an older custom was re-established —that of having a column for school news in the local paper. Under the title "At Northfield High" and backed by a staff of 15 reporters, the weekly articles proved of great interest, not only to the students, but also to the townspeople in general. THE "M. M. B. B."—Something new! Something different! That's the "Monday Morning Breakfast Breaks", unofficial student organ of expression, praise, and attack.

and friendliness", which appeared on Monday mornings for fifteen weeks, was received with great enthusiasm, not only by the students, but also by the faculty. CONTESTS—Three major school contests were held this year: the annual magazine subscription selling contest, a poetry contest, and a tall tale contest. In the magazine contest, staged in benefit of the Athletic Fund, the students were divided into two teams, the Green and the Gold, thus bringing to the fore keener interest as a result of the team rivalry. This contest proved so successful (netting nearly f 100 for the fund) that a special party was held at the Scout Hall with cider, doughnuts, dancing, and games adding to the general delight of all. The poetry and tall tale contests were sponsored by the "M. M. B. B.", a'l students eligible. The results were truly amazing. Some of the poems, including the winner (printed below), were so excellent that the judges did not believe them original! But all poems submitted were original. George Nitchie's sonnet won the poetry contest first prize—two basketball game tickets, and Alma Gaylord's tale received first prize in the tall tale contest. The faculty kindly acted as judges. DISPLAY—Miss Barry's Latin students exhibited, in the window of Donahue's Food Store, their several projects constructed during the course and ranging from soap models of Roman architecture to deadly implements of Caesar's wars. The interest shown in this excellent display well paid the students for their time and energy spent in its development. FIRE DRILLS—Cla-a-a-a-ng! They're off! No, it's not Saratoga—only the fire bell. But it's one thing that makes the students hustle. On the whole, however, our fire drills have been very orderly, a fact that may some day prove most valuable. STUDENT SUMMARY—The total number of students in school for the greater part of the year is as follows: Seniors, 37; Juniors, 38; Sophomores, 56; Freshmen, 72; post graduate, Virginia Aikin; special student, George Abel; total 205. FIRST PRIZE WINNER In the Poetry Contest Sponsored by the "Monday Morning Breakfast Breads" When I behold the grandeur of things past, The pomp and splendor of a former day, When giants held the earth beneath their sway, When titans rose whose pens defied the blast Of adverse circumstances, and who cast Defiance in the teeth of time's decay— The all-consuming rust to which man's clay Succumbs, and is forgotten at the last— Then fame and fortune and the praise of men, Achievement and success and honor won Are trifles of an unproductive age; We are but mortals; the inspiring sun Which warmed the masters of antiquity Reddens the clouds; the glorious day is done. —G, WILSON NITCHIE, Poet Laureate of the Class of '39

An eighth grader was asked to write what he had been taught about the human body. Here's his effort: "Our body is divided into three parts, the branium, the borax, and the abominable cavity. "The branium contains the brain, if any. "The borax contains the lungs, liver, lights, and heart. "The abominable cavity contains the bowels, of which there are five, a, e, i, o, and u."

AFTERWORD Wherever you ramble, Across lands or seas, May this book, The Rambler, Bring sweet memories. Whatever your troubles, If friends you can't see, Let this book, The Rambler, Be your company.

AND WITH ALL BEST WISHES FROM THE CLASS OF '39

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 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.
