TRADE MARK

IT'S A GRAND OLD NAME ! I For over sixty years (since 1883) the "LASHERHOSE" trade mark has been one of the leading brands of men's wool and part-wool halfhose in the hosirey departmsnts of wholesalers throughout the country, and only upon merit can such a reputation be maintained. The Newest of genuine "Komet" ribbed and "Komet Link-and-Link" machinery, as well as the more staple constructions, gives the wholesale buyer a most attractive selection of time-tested, fast-selling styles. Because of the military needs of our armed forces, we must allot our restricted civilian production to our regular distributors. Always abreast of the newest in knitting developments, we have on order, for post-war expansion, the very latest types of knitting machinery. NORTHFIELD HIGH SCHOOL AND GRADED SCHOOL

What's all the giggling .in the corner? That's "Cut" entertaining the boys—or girls, with some of his rare jokes! Although the teachers haven't seemed to appreciate his wit, this hasn't discouraged him in the least. Whereover there's excitement, you're sure to find his curly head. Being a whizz on the dance and basketball floor, he has "Cut" a mean figure during his N. H. S. days.

We were all amazed (including Mr. Erickson) to find at least one girl in Northfield High who could be in a class of all boys—and keep her mind on her work! Don't ever lose this ability to concentrate Anna; it's invaluable. Let this and your red hair blaze your way to success.

Now I ask you, who—is shy? is very quiet? can't get a date? doesn't get around? never goes to a dance? never gasses in "Duzzy's"? has no use for a good time? doesn't like boys in general? never pipes "Anybody got weed?" NOT "Frenchie".

Mimimimimimimimimiminiimi! Take your fingers out of your ears, that's just Barb tuning up again. She'll have music wherever she goes—she makes her own. But music isn't the only thing Barb is noted for. Who of us won't remember her wonderful sugar parties?

As from a Fiesta scene, down old Madrid way. Where everyone is happy and costumes are gay, Comes a bit of old Spain To a little town like this— We meet Senorita Maria, Our sparkling Spanish miss; With flashing eyes and skirts atwirl She's captured our hearts and set them awhirl.

Lucienne might well represent the ideal senior, for she is dignity personified. Lucieiine's ability to always have her assignments finished suggests the motto, "Come rain or shine, sleet or hail, flood or famine, the work must be done." Her ambition is to be a school teacher and we know that she'll realize it—because she'll work for it,

Everyone was anxious to find out what the "new girl" was like. As she ran the gauntlet of curious and appraisirg eyes, there followed various remarks. Such as, "What a neat hair-do", "Hey, she's got dimples." Then she giggled and she was "in". From then on we got to know her better and unanimously agree that she's really "one of the best" and a welcome addition to our class. By her list of activities, it's easy to sec she must have been a valuable asset to the school she left and we only wish she could have been with us longer.

JAMES CRUICKSHANK School Boy Patrol 4; Student Teacher 2.

"When your heart goes bumpity bump"—it's not necessarily love— not if you're riding in Jimmy's car. But even if it does give you somewhat the sensation of riding in a jeep, what can you expect from a car that made its debut along with Lillian Russell? All kidding aside, Jimmy, you and your unique car have given us some swell times.

Whenever clapping is heard in assembly it is usually due either to another award for Betty or another birthday. She's won so many typing and shorthand awards this year, we wonder if she's trying to break all records. She's certainly proved herself to be Miss Rogers' "Shining example", and you should find just around the corner an ideal —job waiting for you, Betty.

Proudly we present Donald, our class artist. His drawings have always been conspicuous around school, not only his dance posters but also his doodlings—which can't be ignored. For proof that he is gifted, you have only to look at this Rambler. His masterpieces will undoubtedly decorate the walls of some of the world's art museums. He's shown us that all his talent doesn't lie in one field, as he can hold his own with the best of skiers and whiz down a nose dive like a Russian Commando.

Sailors aren't the only ones who have a girl in every port, are they Taffy? What's your fatal charm? Of course, we know it's your red hair that gets them. But it must be your restless energy, never ending desire for a good time, cheerfulness and dry Scotch humor that holds them. Girls aren't the only thing that keeps Taffy busy—sodajerking at Margie's takes up a lot of his time. I I I . .

What's in a name? We found there's quite a lot. Just looking at it gives an insight as to what the person's like. Take Gilda for example—

Don't look now, but here comes that dashing, impulsive "Fel". We all thought that "Fel" had a secret desire to be a teacher as he seems to do a very good job teaching the boys a little "colorful" Spanish on the side. But he says he wants to be a marine and we know that he's sure to be as successful hunting Japs as he is in tracking down his "deer."

If anything ever goes wrong with your car just call up Ronald; he'll know what to do, or (this is post war planning, of course) if your helicopter gives trouble call the same man, as he's an authority on airplanes too. It's remarkable when he's so busy repairing and tinkering with all kinds of motors and machines, finding out what does and what does not make them go, that he gets ary time to play his beloved records. Could perhaps his habitual later.ess to history class be accredited to his listening to B. G. recordings. 10

She's glamorous, she's different, she had a peek-a-boo bang. "Maggie's" fads and originalit.y have made quite a name for her. It's almost impossible to read anything written about X. H. S. during the last four years and rot find something in about "Maggie"! So open wide the doors of fame and let the fair damsel in!

Whee-ec goes the fire siren! Clang, Clang goes the fire bell! Zip goes Leo down the street! Our auxiliary fireman certainly knows his business. At every blaze, he's there before the firetruck. But he doesn't stop with fires; comes the winter snow, Leo ploughs; comes the summer dust, Leo sweeps. All in all he keeps the community going, and sooner or later he's bound to be tops in town politics.

Wanta smile—see Rich Wanta ride—see Rich Wanta date—see Rich He knows plenty. His good looks and snappy clothes are an asset anywhere. The^r've certainly taken him places and all the maidens do swoon. He's frequently seen catching the train to Boston. New York, and all points South; flying down the "Ski Tow" hill; "flashing around on the basketball court; or heading for "Pelier" in his car. This may convey the impression that Rich is quite the Beau Brummel—Well isn't he? HILDAGARDE GOODRICH

They say little girls are made of "sugar and spice" etc.—This is debatable—but we think we know what one little girl consists of, Libby. And it makes for quite a recipe. 39/10 heaping tablespoons of good looks 2 1/16 cups of friendliness dash of deviltry and a pinch of Irish wit Stir this well and when thoroughly mixed sift in a touch of talent and pour on the old charm. Then let it bake in the warm smiles of the friends it makes.

BARBARA LaFRANCE Honor Roll 3, 4; Typist of Addresses of Servicemen 4; Basketball 4.

Quiet, efficient, and nice to have around is Barbara. Although she doesn't spend much time making her presence known, she does devote quite a little time to composing a bit of verse, and has made quite a name for herself around here. Maybe "she's a poet and don't know it" or however the saying goes.

14

" D e s p a r t e ' s " , "Community Hall", or "Gilpin's", you'll be sure to find her in one of these places. Sparkling with wit and bubbling over with fun, she's a snappy addition to any party. Know why she's always so happy and full of pep? (This is strictly off the record). It's that "Bosco" (chocolate, of course) she puts in her milk every morning.

Alias "Al Capone". Don't be scared! Keep your seats! We haven't the King of the Underworld hiding in our midst, only the King of Jive. His gang "The Downbeats" may have been as noisy as any underworld mob, but not as dangerous—or were they? At every jam session, where the "Downbeats" were featured, we heard the hepcats, throwing themselves out of joint, yell, "It's murder!"

Eunice is one of those people who come and go with a smile and a quiet hello. She isn't around enough to let us get really acquainted with her. What's this we hear about an outside interest, Eunice?

Introducing one of N. H. S.'s bombshells that struck us in our Sophomore year. After recovering from the shock, we found that "Barb" adores parties, is thrilled at sports and is crazy about dancing. In short "Barb" gets a lot out of life, but she puts a lot into it.

She's little- -but oh my! Although she's as full of vitamins as the bottles in a drug store, it's a sure thing she'll never be "on the shelf" like them. You can see Vitamin A sparkling in her eyes, D radiating from her smile and all the others forming a grand combination to make her the best example of a "vitamin plus" girl.

Oh, I'm packing my grip and I'm heading over Claremont way. Poets call this desire to always be "on the go", the wanderlust; around here, people call it spring fever.. Lately we've been wondering whether it's Miss Miller or Roger who can't make up their mind as to where he'll sit in study hall. So if you feel that you have to "Hit the Road", Roger, go ahead—just don't "get lost".

Whoever said that it's nice to be tall, as you can see so much more than other people, must have had Hollis in mind. You seem to spend a lot of time in "Pelier", Hollis. Could it be you'd like to be in the good graces of a certain nurse there, just in case you have an accident with that car of yours?

"Sky Anchors Away" is now this lad's theme song. For as soon as school is out Bruce is pulling up his anchors here and is heading straight for the Navy Air Corps. Judging from the dreamy look that is his perpetual expression, we wonder if he hasn't long since visualized himself zipping along in a "Corsair". Anyway here's to you "Shep" as a "Captain of the Clouds" and we all wish you "Happy Landings".

Likable, lovable, livewithable, that's "Phceny", "to whom Nature hath lent all that excelleth". Being one of those people who have the rare ability to get along with anyone, any place, any time, plus the fact that she's "pretty easy on the eyes" makes her a much sought after little miss.

Activities FRESHMAN RECEPTION The Class of '47 was royally welcomed into the social limelight of old N. H. S. at a gala reception and dance held in their honor at the Co. F. Armory. Under the able management of the Sophomore committee, this year's was one of the most successful ever put on. Attractive maroon and white dance books were given to the dancers and the "Ambassadors" furnished the music.

VICTORY FARM PROGRAM One morning Mr. Erickson introduced Mr. Brewster, who was recruiting volunteers for the Victory Farm Corps. He proved to be very charming and gave us a most interesting talk, explaining the need for girls and boys to work on farms this summer. He promised to come back some morning and show us a picture of how the war had affected one farmer boy and his family, and how essential farming is to the winning of the war. By his talk and movie, he convinced us all of the grand job the farmer is doing; and according to reports, several N. H. S. students have signed up for jobs this summer.

ORCHESTRA The orchestra was rather depleted in number this year, but that did not mean that the remaining members let down in their efforts to make this season a success. HOME EC CLUB Under the new and inspiring title of "Helpful to others", the Home EC Club has been as busy as ever and the girls have had the usual good times at their meetings this year. As always they made up a Christmas box for needy children—and they sponsored a sugar party this spring.

SCHOOL BOY PATROL This organization is one of the most important and valuable ones in N. H. S. This year, due to the acute man-power shortage, several girls took over posts and proved as faithful and helpful as the boys. The work of this group is to be commended highly, as they must be at their posts in all kinds of.weather and through their willingness, they help to prevent many accident?.

26

Although few public appearances were made, they endeavored to put into effect the theory that "practice makes perfect." After the announcement of the,lucky ones who were to go to the Festival, their efforts were doubled and various sounds and tones issued from the music room daily. The Festival proved to be as grand an affair as always and after this gala occasion all settled down to preparation for Commencement. Under the able hand of Mrs. Whitney, the orchestra was able to chalk up another successful season to its credit.

FRESHMAN PROGRAM Few programs have been featured this year, but one morning this spring everyone was happily surprised to learn that the Freshmen were going to entertain us. There followed a riotous forty minutes packed with laughs at the very clever take-off on the famous and hilarious Ralph Edwards show "Truth and Consequences." Various victims from the assembly were brought before the microphone and talent from unsuspected sources provided the audience with rare entertainment. 27

VOCATIONAL MOVIE Few programs have ever taken us so completely by surprise as this one. Before we really knew what was happening, the room had been darkened and we were seeing a movie on choosing a career, sponsored by Albany Business College. This show was not given in the form of entertainment; it was serious and practical, dealing with something we all are concerned about— our future. It made us think, and believe it or not, we realty liked it.

BASKETBALL TEAM

MAGAZINE CONTEST Brrrrr—Hello Mrs. Brown. Would you like to subscribe to the Saturday Evening Post again this year? Why, Yes, Joe, I was just wondering when you high school students would be around this year. Oh we're right on time; every fall one of us will show up— Let's see, that'll be three dollars and here's your receipt. And here's your money, Joe. Thank you, Mrs. Brown. Now I'll be able to get the prize I wanted and thanks for helping the school out—you see they get a certain percentage of all the money we take in. Thanks again. See you next year. INDIVIDUAL SCORES: BASKETBALL 1943-44 Starting off with a bang the N. H. S. marauders, with only four veterans, tallied three straight wins. For the remainder of the season the cards seemed to be against the boys and many a heartbreaking game resulted until finally they got rid of the jinx and upset the undefeated Woodstock five, showing the true talent of our local squad. The boys on the squad give their best wishes and word of appreciation to their faithful coach, John Diego, who was recently called to the service of his country, thus making it impossible for him to appear in the above picture.

easy-going family. All the family, Mrs. Grahame, Gardiner, Lisa, and Brasilia, are lovable but entirely lost as far as money matters are concerned—or so everyone thinks, including their Irish maid and their wealthy aunt, Mrs. Chatham. The children come home for the summer and bring along a guest, Mr. Chesterfield, supposedly a hitch-hiker, who falls in love with "Pops". "Pops" finally cracks under the financial strain. The children show their true colors and come to her rescue, only to find that the situation has been taken care of by Mr. Chesten r eld, who is really Peter Lane, author of the book "Highroad to Success " As you can imagine, this play is full of amusing incidents, so keep tuned to your station until you hear the final curtain of success fall on another one of N. H. S.'s yearly plays.

CLASS SONG ALL

High school days are gone forever, Days and nights of joy and fun— Days to be returned never 'Till our victory is won. BOYS We will wander o'er the earth— In our days there'll be no mirth, 'Till there's not a Jap nor Jerry— That's when—then we'll all be merry.
