FOREWORD Since life is an ever-changing Kaleidoscope, it is the purpose of the Rambler to portray some of the cherished scenes of our school days at N. H. S.

Sen/or Class History During three years of our high school life, the clouds of war were ever present. War indirectly influenced many of our class and school projects. We saw three classes before us leave N. H. S. We saw the young men of these classes march off to war only a few days after receiving their diplomas. We saw many of our own classmates leave their books behind to join the ranks. Thanks to our gallant alumni members of the armed forces and their comrades in arms, we, the class of 1946, can enjoy the first peacetime graduation in four years. Our initial taste of high school life came in June, 1942, when the class of '45 entertained us at Sub-Freshman Day. The following September we passed through the portals of N. H. S. fifty-six strong to begin in earnest our quest for greater knowledge. The following month we were officially received into school society at the Freshman Reception held at the Norwich Armory. During the fall months we took part in the magazine contest and the giant scrap drive and parade. Then came the first War Loan Drive. We all pitched in to help N. H. S. and Northfield make their quotas. Outdoing ourselves in an intense four-week campaign, the school sold over $11,000 worth of bonds, giving us a place among the first five high schools in Vermont. On St. Patrick's Day, 1943, we produced our first assembly program under the direction of our faculty advisors, Miss Gwen Keelan and Mrs. Ruth Williams White. Incidentally, Dick Pervier made his debut as a hot trumpet player at this program. Reed Elwell was our Freshman class president. In June our class and the class of '45 entertained the sub-freshmen with an assembly program. The class honors were announced at graduation. The first five ranking students were John Mazuzan, Yvonne Hebert, Vivian Aiken, Lawrence Hall and Richard Pervier. When school reopened, we immediately began preparations for the Freshman Reception. At the suggestion of Principal Erickson, we went back to the original way of staging this event—free admis-

sion to everyone. Although this drew heavily upon our financial resources, we felt amply rewarded when this affair turned out so successfully. Ed McCarthy was our class president during our sophomore, junior and senior years. The five highest ranking students for this year were Yvonne Hebert, Miriam Peterson, Richard Pervier, Caroline Dillingham and Russell Woodin. Our junior year was marked by the many departures of our male members to join forces with Uncle Sam. In June it fell upon us to stage the annual Junior Prom. With this done we closed a comparatively quiet year. The highest ranking students were Yvonne Hebert, Miriam Peterson, Caroline Dillingham, Elaine Jones and Eleanor Bell. At the end of the year Mr. Erickson resigned as principal to accept a position as headmaster of Fay High School in Dexter, Me. Finally, we were seniors; the king-pins of school society; but, our membership had dwindled from the original fifty-six to twenty-six girls and eleven boys. With our new principal, N. Richard Butler, and Miss Marion Burns, as class advisors, we began laying plans for a bigger and better Rambler. With the help of our former classmate, Johnny Mazuzan, we have produced this redesigned yearbook for your approval.

Our Senior play, "Let Me Out of Here," played to a full house and netted us a considerable sum for our treasury. The Junior Prom was our last big dance before bidding farewell to our alma mater. Baccalaureate on Sunday, June 9th, and Class Day on Wednesday, the 12th, opened the hectic final week at N. H. S. At last, on June 14th, the climactic day was at hand. Step by step we had climbed the staircase of life; finally we had reached, not the top, but only the second landing. With mingled emotions of sadness and joy, we filed forward to receive the keys to future undertakings—our diplomas. THE EDITORS.

As we gaze into our crystal ball, we can see our Barb in the white attire of a nurse. Her auburn hair and facetiousness are sure to add the needed ingredients to Barbara's career as they have during her high school days.

After straying from the fold for a couple semesters to attend Spaulding High, Eleanor has returned to graduate with her old friends. Of course we are delighted to have this petite lassie back for the climactic graduation season.

Introducing the Burl Ives of Northfield High, our only "Western Minstrel," Miss Ramona Boudreau. Monie's passion for folk music has afforded us many entertaining hours as her instrumental and vocal numbers have grown to be a regular noontime intermission feature.

Vivacious Vicky is not of the querulous clique but is an ideal student. Now that Vicky is a full-fledged telephone operator, the citizens of Northfield will always receive a cheery "number please" when they crank their little bell and lift the receiver to call their next door neighbor.

ALLAN BELL

"Mono"

"Greencheese"

School Boy Patrol, 3, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; All-State Chorus, 4; "Pirates of Penzance," 1; "H. M. S. Pinafore," 2; Christmas Pageant, 1, 2, 3, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 3, 4; Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 3, 4; Dramatics Club, 4; Class Usher, 3. Happy-go-lucky Allan is the lad who lifts jitterbugging from its low levels to a ballroom art. A smooth sensation off the dance floor as well, Allan's mad escapades of all sorts and sizes are the high points of the class' unwritten history.

BERNICE BRASSARD

"Bernie"

Honor Roll, 2; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Christmas Pageant, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 4; Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 3, 4; Dramatics Club, 4. Bernice's jet black hair is the method we use to distinguish her from her sister, Dolores. We would feel gifted to have only one Brassard in our class; but, lo and behold, we have three—cousin Maurice and sisters Bernice and Dolores make up this family trio. Fun loving Bernice has made our school radiate with smiling sunshine.

DOLORES BRASSARD

"Blondie':

Honor Roll, 3, 4; Rambler Staff, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; All-State Chorus, 4; Christmas Pageant, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 3, 4; Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 3, 4: Dramatics Club, 4. Allow us to present for your approval this attractive edition of "Why Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." This sweet volume of femininity is also a brainy little package. A high ranking Commercial student, Dolores should have little trouble in becoming the town's classiest secretary.

PHYLLIS BUSSIERE

"PhyV

Honor Roll, 4; Rambler Staff, 4; "Let Me Out of Here," 4; One-Act Play, 4; Glee Club, 4; Christmas Pageant, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 4; Corridor Marshal, 4; Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 4; Dramatics Club, 4. A newcomer to our class this year, Phyl has quickly become a full-fledged member of senior "society." Her all-around know-how has been utilized in class projects, and her good looks and charming personality have given the junior Romeos a bad case of heart flutters.

SHIRLEY CLEVELAND "Torchie" Honor Roll, 4; School Boy Patrol, 3; "Let Me Out of Here," 4; One-Act Play, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra, 1, 2, 3, 4; All-State Chorus, 4; "Pirates of Penzance," 1; ''H. M. S.

Racing around the wilds of Vermont in his old coupe is the favorite pastime of good natured Maurice. Always ready to lend a friend a helping hand, Maurice has acquired a wide circle of friends since his return from St. Michael's High.

This fair young maiden with fiery locks is closely associated with th? musical circles of N. H. S. Her genteel voice adds brilliancy to the Glee Club. Because of her many extra curricula activities, Shirley was honored as this year's Good Citizenship Girl.

TRUEMAN BRYER Basketball, 3, 4; School Boy Patrol, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; "Pirates of Penzance," 1; "H. M. S. Pinafore," 2; Christmas Pageant, 2, 3, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 2, 3, 4; Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 3; Dramatics Club, 4; Science Club, 4; Class Usher, 4; Jeep Campaign, 1. All the practical jokes perpetrated at the local citadel of higher learningwere undoubtedly conceived in the mind of Trueman. In the evening, when young hearts turn to more pleasant pastimes, Trueman drops the guise of a practical joker and becomes a super slayer of the fairer sex. Page 12

ALBERTA COLE Honor Roll, 1, 2; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; All-State Chorus, 4; "Pirates of Penzance," 1; "H. M. S. Pinafore," 2; Christmas Pageant, 1, 2, 3, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 1, 2, 3, 4; Corridor Marshal, 4; Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 3, 4; Dramatics Club, 4; Science Club, 4; Home Economics Club, 2. Alberta, the female member of our only set of twins, is a musical minded miss. Always ready to strum out a solo on her guitar or to give a friend a helping hand, Alberta is our No. 1 gloom chaser.

ALBERT COLE Honor Roll, 1, 2, 3, 4; School Boy Patrol, 4; Rambler Staff, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; All-State Chorus, 4; "Pirates of Penzance," 1; "H. M. S. Pinafore," 2; Christmas Pageant, 1, 2, 3, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 1, 2, 3, 4; Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 3, 4; Officer of Magazine Contest, 2, 3, 4; Dramatics Club, 4; Science Club, 4. Albert is the super salesman of our class. A leading figure in all fund raising schemes of the school, Albert always turns in a commendable piece of work. Lifting the Rambler finances from the doldrums with his advertising campaign was Al's latest bit of monetary wizardry.

LEAH DIEMER

"Lee"

Honor Roll, 2, 4; One-Act Play, 4; Glee Club, 2, 3, 4; "H. M. S. Pinafore," 2; Christmas Pageant, 2, 3, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 3; Corridor Marshal, 4; Dramatics Club, 4. This flaxen haired beauty from the extremities of Vine Street is one of the few remaining bona fide members of our class who entered Graded school twelve long years ago and is now graduating with the class of '46. Shy and retiring in a crowd, Leah excells as a conversationalist in a small group.

CAROLINE DILLINGHAM EVA COMMINS

"Slim"

Honor Roll, 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; All-State Chorus, 4; "Pirates of Penzance," 1; "H. M. S. Pinafore," 2; Christmas Pageant, 1, 2, 3, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 3, 4; Corridor Marshal, 4; Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 3; Dramatics Club, 4; Latin Club, 1; Class Usher, 3; Collector of Milk Fund, 4.

Glee Club, 3, 4; All-State Chorus, 4; Christmas Pageant, 3, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 3, 4; Corridor Marshal, 4; Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 3, 4. Eva is one of those girls whom we see often, but whose activities are little known. Yet, with four years of Home EC as a background, no one need be surprised to read, in future years, articles by a dietitian from Northfield.

Our Caroline dispells that popular notion that brains and beauty do not mix. During the school hours this Mill Hill miss makes the art of learning appear simple. When the evening mists fall on our fair hamlet, Caroline is equally proficient in the affairs of the heart—receiving the affections of her many male admirers.

PLORENZ DRINKWINE ESTHER CRESSEY

"Essey"

Honor Roll, 1; Rambler Staff, 4; Christmas Pageant, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 4; Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 3, 4; Dramatics Club, 4; Science Club, 4; Cheer Leader, 3, 4.

1 I |

"Dill"

Leading the loyal rooters of the Maroon Marauders was the tough task assigned to this spry damsel. With many clever new cheers, Esther has added the needed color and zest at the basketball games.

Christmas Pageant, 1, 2; Thanksgiving Concert, 1, 2; Home Economics Club, 1. Florenz has various plans for the future and we hope her choice is a wise one. Whether pursuing art, designing or secretarial work, our best wishes accompany our aspiring classmate.

ROBERT FLINT

"Bob"

Honor Roll, 4; Assistant Manager Basketball, 3; Manager Basketball, 4; School Boy Patrol, 4; Rambler Staff, 4; "Let Me Out of Here," 4; One-Act Play, 4; Glee Club, 3, 4; AllState Chorus, 4; Christmas Pageant, 3, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 3, 4; Vice President of Class, 4; Dramatics Club, 4, Science Club, 4; Class Usher, 3. Bob, the happy grave digger, is an expatriate from Randolph High. By profession he is, as he terms it, ''a planter of the deceased." But this melancholy task never seems to dull the charm of our illustrious Bob. Besides playing nursemaid to the ghosts of Mount Hope, Bob has found time to compile an enviable scholastic record and has taken a leading part in many school events.

MARILYN FRENCH

JAMES HEALY

"Jim"

Honor Roll, 4; "Let Me Out of Here," 4; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; AllState Chorus, 4; "Pirates of Penzance," 1; "H. M. S. Pinafore," 2; Christmas Pageant, 1, 2, 3, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 1, 2, 3, 4: Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 3; Dramatics Club, 4; Science Club, 4; Class Usher, 3. True to the tradition of his ancestors' land, Jim is a jolly, friendly Irishman, with a fine tenor voice. His collection of old Irish stories, told with a touch of brogue straight from County Cork, always merit a large and fascinating audience.

•v: YVONNE IIEBERT Honor Roll, 1, 2, 3, 4; Rambler Staff, 4; "Let Me Out of Here," 4; Glee Club, 2, 3, 4; All-State Chorus, 4; "Pirates of Penzance," 1; "H. M. S. Pinafore," 2; Christmas Pageant, 3,, 4; Thanksgiving Concert. 3. 4; Secretary of Class, 3, 4; Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 3, 4; Dramatics Club, 4; Home Economics Club, 1, 2; Office Assistant, 4. Yvonne is the brain child of the Commercial course. Winning Gregg shorthand and typing awards with the greatest ease, it is hard to believe that this petite bit of femininity has so much ambition. Besides excelling in academic activities, Yvonne has learned the printing trade in hsr after school hours.

"Lyn"

Honor Roll, 1, 2, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; All-State Chorus, 4; "H. M. S. Pinafore," 2; Christmas Pageant, 3, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 3, 4; Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 4; Dramatics Club, 4; Science Club, 4. "Is that you Marilyn?", a parody of Fibber McGee's famous, "Is that you Myrt?", is becoming increasingly popular with the local wags when they place their telephone calls. You see, Marilyn is one of the Senior class "number, please," girls who handle the calls from the local switchboard. Marilyn is another student we snagged from Randolph High.

MARIE HALLSTROM

"Shorty"

Honor Roll, 1; Glee Club, 2, 3; Christmas Pageant, 4; Corridor Marshal, 4; Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 3, 4; Dramatics Club, 4; Home Economics Club, 2; Class Usher, 3. Heralded as the glamour gal of '46, Marie's claim to fame is the quick change process she gives her ebon tresses. With Marie, it's an updo one day, bangs the next and braids the next. Of course, all these hair stylings tend to dazzle the poor males and dismay her rivals.

MILDRED HEDGES Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 3, 4; Latin Club, 1. The old proverb, "Silence Is Golden," is rigidly followed by Mildred. A conscientious student, Mildred always seems to keep her opinions to herself.

ELAINE JONES

WENDELL LEPEBVRE

Honor Roll, 1, 2, 3, 4; One-Act Play, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra, 3, 4; All-State Orchestra, 4; "Pirates of Penzance," 1; "H. M. S. Pinafore," 2; Christmas Pageant, 1, 2, 3, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 1, 2, 3, 4; Corridor Marshal, 4; Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 3, 4; Dramatics Club, 4; Latin Club, 1; Science Club, 4.

Honor Roll, 1; School Boy Patrol, 2, 4; "Let Me Out of Here," 4; OneAct Play, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; "Pirates of Penzance," 1; "H. M. S. Pinafore," 2; Christmas Pageant, 1, 2, 3, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 1, 2, 3, 4; Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 3, 4: Dramatics Club, 4.

Elaine is the girl with the explosive personality. A clever wit and a wizard at matching seething sarcasm, Jonesy has cut a gay and exciting swath in the social pattern of the class of '46.

"Boogie"

When someone says Boogie's head is floating in the clouds, he does not necessarily mean that this young man is lost in deep meditation for our elongated class clown stretches six feet, two inches, into the stratosphere. Big Boogie is a valuable asset in a dull study hall—he entertains the students and antagonizes teachers with his eccentric actions.

KATHRYN MALONEY

Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; All-State Chorus, 4; "H. M. S. Pinafore," 2; Christmas Pageant, 2, 3, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 3, 4; Corridor Marshal, 4; Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 3, 4; Science Club, 4; Home Economics Club, 2, 4.

BETTY KIMBALL Honor Roll, 4; Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 3, 4; Dramatics Club, 4. This quiet young thrush evidently believes in the conversation of tongue power. But we all know the dormant personality of Betty by her distinctive, dimpled smile.

This Irish colleen from the country has been a welcome member of our aggregation. Kay has won the admiration and friendship of the whole school with her demure and dignified appearance.

EDWARD MCCARTHY BARBARA KLEINHANS Honor Roll, 4; Rambler Staff, 4; Glee Club, 4; Christmas Pageant, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 4. Barbara, a recent addition to our class rolls, enjoys the distinction of being one of the few members of the class of '46 who conduct themselves with the proverbial senior dignity. As attested by her excellent marks she possesses a fine mind and should go far in college.

"Kay"

"Mac"

Basketball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Captain of Basketball, 3. 4; School Boy Patrol, 2, 3, 4; Lieutenant School Boy Patrol, 4; Rambler Staff, 4; Glee Club, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra, 1, 2, 3, 4; "H. M. S. Pinafore," 2; Christmas Pageant, 2, 3, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 3, 4; President of Class, 2, 3, 4; Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 3, 4. At Northfleld High, the name McCarthy is synonymous with basketball. Besides his many achievements in the field of sports, affable Ed has dabbled in class politics—winning the class presidency three times. Big Ed is also the impressario of the Desparte soda fountain—the favorite hangout of the teen timers.

WILLIAM MILLER

"Bill"

Honor Roll, 1; Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 3, 4; Science Club, 4.

m

RICHARD PERVIER

To Bill all we can offer are belated congratulations. Married, a father, working man and a scholar, too, Bill is already shouldering the responsibilities of this world which we shall all taste in the future. Attending classes in the morning and working in the afternoon, Bill has earned his diploma only with a maximum of determination and effort.

SHIRLEY PLASTRIDGE

"Shryl"

Honor Roll, 1, 2, 3, 4; "Let Me Out of Here," 4; Glee Club, 2, 3, 4; "Pirates of Penzance," 1; "H. M. S. Pinafore," 2; Christmas Pageant, 3, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 3, 4; Treasurer of Class, 2, 4; Corridor Marshal, 4; Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 3, 4; Dramatics Club, 4; Home Economics Club, 1, 2. The proximity of the Elmwood cemetery to Shirley's residence does not seem to dim her perpetual chortle. Witty or not, Shirley seems to discern humor in everything; but, who are we to complain if we have such a happy lark in our midst?

"Dick"

Honor Roll, 1, 2, 3, 4; School Boy Patrol, 4; Rambler Staff, 4; '-Let Me Out of Here," 4; Orchestra, 1, 2, 3, 4; Dramatics Club, 4; Latin Club, 1; Cheer Leader, 3.

IRENE POMBAR Honor Roll, 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club, 3, 4; Christmas Pageant, 3, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 4; Corridor Marshal, 4; Latin Club, 1, 4.

Dick is the personificaticn of classy clothes, sweet music and sophisticated wit at N. H. S. This young man with a horn, besides tooting his way to fame, has found time to compile an enviable scholastic average and an extra fat date book. Indulging in any of his varied interests, Dick always does a super-slick, smooth job.

Irene is one of those hearty souls who has braved four years of Latin. With a brain crammed with Virgil, Cicero and Caesar, Irene will probably head for a higher institution seeking new acquaintances with the literary masters of Roman antiquity. I

•

MIRIAM PETERSON "Chic" Honor Roll, 1, 2, 3, 4; Rambler Staff, 4; "Let Me Out of Here," 4; Glee Club, 2, 3, 4; All-State Chorus, 4; "H. M. S. Pinafore," 2; Christmas Pageant, 2, 3, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 4; Treasurer of Class, 3; Corridor Marshal, 4; Captain of Marshals, 4; Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 3; Dramatics Club, 4; Latin Club, 1; Class Usher, 3. This brainy blonde is Northfield High's gift from Hempstead, L. I. Gregarious Chic can usually be found after school in the back booth at Duzy's where she is the benevolent ruler of the Desparte Debs. As they would say in the jive vernacular, a nimble brain, a sterling personality, classy clothes and good looks combine to make this young lady a truly slick "Chic."

PAULINE SHOREY

"Polly"

Honor Roll, 1; Glee Club, 3, 4; Christmas Pageant, 3, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 3, 4; Corridor Marshal, 4; Typist of Servicemen's Addresses, 3, 4; Dramatics Club, 4; Home Economics Club, 2; Class Usher, 3. 'Tis said that this merry young lady had rather dance than eat. We cannot vouch for this statement, but we know that Polly's effervescent conversation lends a distinctive sparkle to our little group.

The Rambler ROBERTA SNELLING Honor Roll, 1, 2, 4; Glee Club, 4; Christmas Pageant, 4; Corridor Marshal, 4. Some people thrive on glory; others prefer to remain under the cloak of anonymity. This has been the case with Roberta. Willing to let someone else occupy the limelight, Roberta has inconspicuously gone about her daily tasks, getting excellent marks and winning many friends.

BETTY VIENS Honor Roll, 1, 2, 3; Christmas Pageant, 1, 2; Thanksgiving Concert, 1, 3; Dramatics Club, 4; Science Club, 4; Latin Club, 1, 4; President of Latin Club, 4; Class Usher, 3.

SENIOR PLAY Front row (left to right) : Miriam Peterson, Shirley Cleveland, Shirley Plastridge, Yvonne Hebert, Phyllis Bussiere. Second row: Maurice Brassard, James Healy, Wendell LeFebvre, Robert Flint, Richard Pervier.

Scene: English class; time: 8:45 A. M. Betty quietly enters class and innocently takes her place, unaware of her tardiness. But without her daily interruptions, English class would never survive. Betty is the second of the Viens dynasty to gradnate in as many years.

THE SENIOR PLAY

"Doc"

Honor Roll, 1, 2, 3, 4; School Boy Patrol, 3, 4; Captain of School Boy Patrol, 4; Rambler Staff, 4; Glee Club, 3, 4; Orchestra, 1, 2, 3, 4; AllState Orchestra, 4; "H. M. S. Pinafore," 2; Christmas Pageant, 3, 4; Thanksgiving Concert, 2, 3, 4; Science Club, 4. Skipper Doc has never let us forget he is a land-locked sailo-r. Every essay, poem, speech, recitation or conversation in which this old salt has had a part has concerned either ships, the sea or mermaids. Students and teachers alike have had a merry time trying- to decipher Doc's flowery sea language.

Bcna Lynn (Shirley Plastridge) and Eve Boyd (Phyllis Bussiere) work together as typists and share a little two-room apartment. Bona has a handsome brother who Eve would like to meet. Eve has a wealthy aunt who wants Eve to marry Gifford Morton (Maurice Brassard), an eccentric poet and writer of children's stories. Eve wants to be independent and has led her aunt to believe that she is attending an exclusive girls' school, when she is really earning a salary. But Aunt Angela (Shirley Cleveland) and Gifford are coming to pay Eve a visit! Eve isn't ready to be found out yet, so she and Bona go to ask a friend of theirs to pretend to be Eve's teacher so the aunt will not ask too many questions. While they are out, Garret (Robert Flint), Bona's brother, arrives with a friend, Victor Ward (James Healy), who has come to town to close an important business deal for his father. While waiting for the girls, Victor tears his trousers and Garret goes out to have them mended, not realizing that it is a holiday. The snoopy landlady, Bessie Rhodes (Miriam Peterson), almost discovers Victor, but he gets by her by wearing a kimona and head scarf and pretending to be one of the girls with a bad cold.

SENIOR PLAY — (Cont.) Then Aunt Angela and Gifford come in—see Victor . and think they are in the wrong apartment. They tell the landlady—she thinks Victor is a burglar. Victor has already frightened the comely maid, Hazel Miles (Yvonne Hebert), into a faint. Garret comes back, is forced by Victor to change clothes with him. Victor goes out to make his appointment, leaving Garret in the same fix he (Victor) was in! Then Victor's father (Wendell LePebvre) arrives—dirty from changing a tire. While he is cleaning up, Garret steals his clothes to get even with Victor! Stevie Cobb (Dick Pervier), the supersitious colored elevator boy, gets mixed up in the tangle, which gets worse and worse until it seems that nothing can straighten it out. But all ends happily in a most amusing way.

game against Richford High at St. Albans in convincing style. For their second contest the locals journeyed to Hardwick where an aggressive Orleans team came charging back from a first quarter deficit to eliminate the Maroons by a 24 to 19 count. The Miniature Marauders compiled a magnificent season's record, winning 14 out of 16 games. Their only loss to a high school club was at the hands of the St. Mike's understudies by a three-point margin; this loss was later avenged when the Maroons trounced the Montpelier lads, 23 to 12. Their other loss was to a star-studded Alumni outfit. At the end of the season, a banquet was held at the "Little Valley Farm." After a well prepared meal there were many interesting speeches, given by Captain Ed McCarthy, Captain-Elect Mush Plastridge, and by our news reporter, Johnny Mazuzan. Superintendent of Schools Walter D. Gallagher and Coach Dick Butler also gave speeches. The main spaker for the evening was Coach Roger Sheridan of St. Michael's High. After this, movies, shown on different methods of playing basketball were enjoyed by all, which was followed by dancing.

BASKETBALL Under the capable leadership of Coach Dick Butler and Captain Ed McCarthy, the Maroon Marauders rung up 14 wins in 23 starts, compiling the best record for a local quintet in several seasons. In the Green Mountain League the locals broke even with five wins against an equal number of setbacks. After a long victory drought, the local aggregation chalked up two decisive victories against their arch rival, Waterbury High. St. Mary's of St. Albans twice felt the sting of defeat at the hands of the locals and Peoples Academy fell once. The Maroons dropped pairs to Winooski and St. Mike's and were humbled by an underrated Peoples team on the Armory surface. The Headmasters assigned Northfield a double playoff to gain a position in the Northern B tournament. The locals won their first

SYSTEM

The marshals, the traffic officers of N. H. S., did an exceptional job this year keeping the students in check going to and from classes. The captain, Miriam Peterson, appointed sixteen girls who, in groups of eight, served alternately each week. Taking everything into consideration, the system was extremely effective and our monitors are to be congratulated. YVONNE HEBERT.

JUNIOR PROM The social season drew to a brilliant climax with the gala, junior-sponsored prom at Co. F Armory, May 29. The fair ladies of N. H. S., in their fancy formals, and their suave escorts danced to the pleasing rhythm of the "Ambassadors."

MAGAZINE

CONTEST

To start this year's activities there was the annual magazine contest. This year the students outdid themselves to break all subscription records to net the school over $230. Under Miss Rogers' capable supervision, General Manager Al Cole and Team Captains George Giffin and Rosalie Staples led their troops to a decisive financial victory for N. H. S.

PROGRAMS

Through the efforts of our principal, the assembly programs were star-studded with famous personalities. The senior class had pleasure in presenting Ernest Johnson, negro tenor. The junior program resulted in an inspiring lecture by Solomon Caulker, West African missionary. On Navy Day, General Kromer addressed the school. A contribution by the freshman and sophomore classes afforded pleasing mirth to the students. Though limited in number, these educational and entertaining series offered relaxation from regular studies. SHIRLEY PLASTRIDGE.

SCHOOL BOY PATROL Again this year, the School Patrol went back on duty keeping all the students off the streets on their way to and from school. The Patrol was divided into two groups of eight men and a lieutenant. These lieutenants, George Giffin and Ed McCarthy, with the captain, Russ Woodin, did a commendable job organizing the Patrol. The loyal patrolmen reported to their posts without regard to the weather. Rain or shine, they were always ready to do their duty. The Patrol again played nursemaids to the children of the first three grades, seeing that they arrived home safely. The originator of the School Boy Patrol in Vermont, Officer Harry Dickens, has resigned his post at the Motor Vehicle Department. The fine Patrol system all over the state is a fitting tribute to the retiring Mr. Dickens.

HOME EC. CLUB

*

The Home EC. Club was brought into existence once more by Mrs. Holt. The officers are: Ruth Chase, president; Harriet Fogg, vice president; Dorothy Wright, secretary; Betty Whitcomb, treasurer. Their goal was participation in community affairs and development of mutual understanding among the classes. This criterion was strived for and achieved. The highlight of the year's activities was preparing a Christmas package for a six-month-old orphan. Contributions were also made to foreign orphans. The re-birth of this club gave many enjoyable hours to its members. KATHRYN MALONEY.

They will have their class numerals and play inscribed on this cup, which will remain as permanent school property. The winning Junior production represented the local school in the district drama contest at Waterbury.

SCIENCE CLUB This year a new phase was added to' Northfield High's activities —the Science Club. Under the able direction of Mr. Butler and Mrs. Shepard, the club was organized into three divisions, the Aquarium Club, Slide Club and Photography Club. The Aquarium Club purchased an aquarium and terrarium. Various aquatic and land creatures were obtained for the members' projects. The officers are: Kathryn Maloney, president; John Taylor, vice president, and Esther Drown, secretary.

Though late in starting, the Photography Club was fortunate in having Mr. Roeder instruct them in the fundamentals of photography. The officers are: Albert Cole, president; Martha Lou Styles, vice president, and George Giffin, secretary - treasurer. The purchase of a Micro-Projector made the Slide Club of great interest. The "Biology Bugs" gained invaluable information about our insect life. The officers are: Trueman Bryer, president; James Healy, vice president; and Dorothy Montgomery, secretary-treasurer. These clubs have added greatly to student interest and education. This year has laid the foundation for these popular groups. ARNOLD BICKFORD.

Often times we have been tempted, Hardships have pursued our course; But we've fought and won the battle With aid drawn from every source. All along we have been guided, Friends have lent a helping hand; Now, we're out to face life boldly On our own feet we must stand. "Step by step" we've climbed that staircase, Armed with colors, "Blue and White"; That last stair we've finally conquered, Now, to choose the path that's right. ALBERT COLE.

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.
