A Friend and Classmate

We, the graduating class of Northfield High School, would like to bring to the attention of our readers the fact that the town clock and chimes were presented by Colonel and Mrs. Frank Tompkins as a memorial to Mrs. Bertha H. Whitney, a woman who dedicated twenty-eight years of her life to teaching music to the students of Northfield Hign School and Northfield Graded School.

DCCICATICN As we, the graduating class of 1953, leave Northfield High School we wish to express our sincere thanks to Mr. Lloyd Crane, our principal for four years. We hereby dedicate this Rambler to you, Mr. Crane, in acknowledgement and appreciation of your interest and highest co-operation in our school and social activities.

ujirrmr/ We entered the portals of N. H. S. in the fall of 1949, with the usual "freshman" look of loss and bewilderment. In the minds of many of us was just one big question mark. However, we were ready, eager, and willing to meet all obstacles that were destined to be ours. Our purpose was to make the most out of the next four years which we wereto spend at Northfield High School. Mr. Crane, our new principal, welcomed us and worked with wholehearted interest to start us off on the right foot. Under his patient guidance and understanding we managed to struggle through our first year quite successfully, realizing that we had three more years ahead of us in which to improve. Thinking back to that first day, we can distantly recall that many of us entered the wrong classrooms and tried desperately to figure out our daily schedules as we went along. However, with the help of the ever-patient corridor marshals and upperclassmen, we soon became adapted to the daily routine. We began to feel more welcome after attending the Freshmen Reception given us by the class of '52. Faces and names became more familiar and we made an effort to store them away with the rest of the knowledge we were slowly gaining. Within a couple of months our class, which was large in number, had become better acquainted and we were ready to elect our first class officers. Under the guidance of our class advisers, Mr. Ashton and Miss Lapolice, we elected the following, with the majority of the offices leaning toward the masculine side: President, Joe Garrity; Vice President, LeRoy Carrier; Treasurer, Thomas Kingston; Social Chairman, David Sargent; and Secretary, Marie Dukette. Our representative to the Student Council, newly organized under the direction of Mr. Crane, was George Goodrich. With the exception of the one-act play entitled, "His First Shave," skilfully coached and prepared by Miss Lapolice and Mr. Ashton, our participation in social events and extra-curricular activities was small. We did get a taste of tournament basketball when the strong Northfield team captured the Northern Vermont "B" title at Burlington, then participated in the State Championship, of which we were runner-up. As the year came to a close, we all felt that we were truly becoming a part of N. H. S. We had begun to realize the worth and importance of a high school education. After what seemed an almost too short summer vacation, we returned to school a little more dignified and self-confident. Although we were not considered in the bracket of actual upperclassmen, we had one class beneath us and this made us feel that we were no longer the "underdogs." There were several changes in the faculty. We began once again to settle down in earnest to work for another year. The big social event of our sophomore year was the Freshmen Reception for the incoming freshmen. With the aid and assistance of our class advisers, Miss Perrin, Mrs. Weiss, and Mr. Mahoney, we tried to make it something the new pupils would not forget. The dance was not a success financially, but as we watched everyone having fun and dancing to the music of the Catamounts, we could see that it was socially.

r

A new slate of officers was soon elected as follows: President, David Sargent; Vice President, Thomas Kingston; Treasurer, Jacky Willette; Secretary, Libby Streeter; and Social Chairman, Richard Brassard. Our student council representatives were Peggy Jennett and Francis Guidi. Phyllis Parker and Shirley Smith were our choice as repesentatives to the first Junior Red Cross Council in our high school. This organization proved really worthwhile and lent many a helping hand throughout the year to the less fortunate. Once again we brought out the talented actors and actresses of the class in the one-act play entitled, "The Perfect Gentlemen." Under the direction of Mrs. Weiss and Miss Perrin. who did a wonderful job coaching us, we placed second in competition with the other three classes. Fun was had by all and everyone was eagerly awaiting the spring contest for the following year. As our Sophomore year came to a close, we were saddened by the death of our music teacher, Mrs. Whitney. To many of us who had had her all through our grades it was a deep loss. Her warm friendship and patient guidance will always be remembered by all of us. By our Junior year we felt better. We had only one more step to climb to reach the long awaited Senior year. Miss Wellington and Mr. Higuera were our class advisers for the year. The officers elected were: President, David Sargent; Vice President, Stanley Warner; Secretary, Margaret Tassie; Treasurer, Jacky Willette; and Social Chairman, Richard Brassard. Work was begun on new ideas and means of increasing our depleted treasury in order that we might put on one of the biggest social events of the year, the Junior Prom. The Student Council representatives were Peggy Jennett and Donnie Ford. Representatives to the Junior Red Cross Council for the remaining two years were Jacky Provost and Bob Perra. The time now came for us to take over the famous high school paper the "Rambles." Our first issue (which we admit was rather small and had its share of mistakes) was put out under the direction of our efficient editor, David Sargent. As time went on, however, we made new improvements and tried to make each issue bigger and better. The month of May quickly came and everyone was busily running around getting things under way for the long awaited Junior Prom. The student body chose a king and queen to reign over the dance. They selected Lorraine Brassard and Dick Provost, both of whom were presented with a gift as a token of remembrance of the Prom of '52. Dancing to the music of the Norwich Grenadiers under dim lights and a gaily decorated hall was enjoyed by everyone. This year for the first time, two members of the Junior Class were selected by the faculty to represent Northfield High School at the Model U N held in New Hampshire. Deserving of this honor were Libby Streeter and David Sargent. The one-act play contest was held in the high school. Our entry was a comedy entitled "Johnny Goes Haywire." A great deal of time and effort was put into the play under the direction of Mr. Higuera, who gave us many helpful hints along with tne rest of the usual suggestions given at play rehearsals. The audience enjoyed the contest as did the actors and actresses themselves. At the end of the year three boys and three girls were chosen to attend the* annual Green Mountain Girls' and Boys' State held during the latter part of June. They were: Donnie Ford, George Matheson, Richard Brassard, Anita Jerd, Jacky Willette, and Elaine Rogers. Finally our Junior year came to a close and we were now looking forward with great anticipation to our return in the fall as the "dignified" Senior class. We returned to enjoy our last year with Mr. Pierce and his hilarious antics and sayings. It is necessary to look at the more serious side of life at times, however, so we settled down to make the most out of our Senior year. Our last group of officers were elected as follows: President, David Sargent; Vice President, Donnie Ford; Treasurer, Jacky Willette; Secretary, Peggy Jennett; and Social Chairman, Joe Garrity.

The first social activity on the calendar of events for the Senior year was the wellknown "Farmers' Ball." Dungarees and old clothes were the appropriate dress as we square danced to the music furnished by Roger's Rhythm Makers of Randolph. Both financially and socially the ball was a success. Donnie Ford, George Matheson, and Richard Brassard were elected as our representatives to the Student Council. We take our hats off to these boys who did a swell job of handling the often tiring Senior home room during eighth periods. The time for presentation of the annual Senior Play soon approached. After a class discussion and a vote taken on the matter, it was decided that we would try something different from, that of previous years. Instead of putting on the usual three-act play we agreed to try a musical comedy, "Wear Pink." The large cast was made up of members from the other classes as well as the senior participants. The proceeds, however, were placed in our slightly empty treasury. Many hours of preparation and hard work went into the play to make it the success it was. We owe this success to our very capable dramatics director, Miss Wellington, and our music director, Miss Carey. The musical selections, which were written by one of our local people, Mrs. George Burnham, were enjoyed by all. We learned this from the many favorable comments received afterwards. The coveted honor of Good Citizenship Girl was bestowed upon the hard-working faithful, and dependable member of our class, Libby Streeter. In the line of sports we did exceptionally well. The varsity basketball squad, with five seniors making up the first string, acquired one of the best N. H. S. basketball records with fourteen wins and three losses. We entered the Northern Vermont Tournament again - the third time in four years. We suffered a loss to the rampaging St. Mike's team and so were runner-up for the title. Dick Elwell and Tommy Kingston were chosen for positions on the All-Tournampnt team. We were • very proud of their performances throughout the entire season. The real outdoor sportsmen, the ski team, under the watchful eye of Mr. Swenson, proved themselves to be tops this year. They placed as one of the first six teams in the state meet. This entitled them to participate in the New Englands held in New Hampshire. In spite of rough conditions and bad weather they finished high enough to attend the Eastern meet. They did a swell job and should be proud of themselves. They also gained much valuable experience. Our biggest project for the year was that of putting out the yearbook, "The Rambler." With Joe Garrity as our editor and Libby Streeter as his assistant, we worked hard and diligently before sending it to press. We were guided over the many rough spots by the helping hand of our adviser, Mr. Pierce. With spring approaching, the glee club and orchestra could be heard busily preparing for the third annual Winooski Valley Music Festival made up of about three hundred participants and held in Northfield. After the Winooski Valley Concert, work started immediately in preparation for the All-State Music Festival. Also, David Sargent and Anita Jerd were getting ready to attend the New England Music Festival held in Brookline, Massachusetts. After what seemed a short four years, we left the halls of N. H. S. to face the future. We had a feeling of accomplishment and a great desire to meet successfully whatever life might offer.

BflSflttflflU The Northfield basketball team had another fine season under the coaching of Mr. Mahoney. Northfield finished as runner-up in the Green Mountain League, gaining the chance to play in the Northern Tournament. In the tournament Northfield won over Stowe but lost to St. Michaels. As the season opened these positions were earned: at left forward was Joe Garrity, a good rebounder and an aggressive player; on his right was co-captain Dick Elwell, whose fine floor play and consistent scoring made him the highest scorer on the squad; at the center post was Tom Kingston, wlhose good rebounding and drive-in shots made him second highest scorer on the squad; bringing up the ball was co-captain Don Ford; his fine ball handling and set shots brought him much recognition; and on his right was Dick Brassard, a steady ball player with a good set shot and fine eye from the foul line. The players who are coming back next year and who deserve a good hand are cocaptains Rick Diego and Clayton Luce, Bill Marsland, Francis Willette, Bob Belanger, Red Mazuzan, and Ed Fiarkoski.

1st row - Roger Garrity, Douglas Long, George Mazuzan, John Bryant, Raymond Diego. 2nd row - Coach Mahoney, Robert Coutts, Gary Beattie, Joseph Willette, Richard Suitor.

The ski team is made up of eight men. They are: Frank Allen, Jack Buck, Tom Morse, Allie Lamson, Raymond Jerd, Bob Manning, Jay Pedley and Clesson Stewart. Our manager is Libby Streeter, and our coach Mr. Swenson. The ski team had a very successful season. In four contests Northfield had two firsts, one second, and one third. After doing so well in these events, Northfield went to the state meet where they placed second. This gave them the chance to go to the New England Meet. The results there entitled Northfield to a position in the Eastern Interscholastic Meet. In the Eastern they placed a strong sixth. For the record - this is the first time North.field has gone beyond the state ski meet.

Even though you never hear much about it, the rifle team has been doing very well this year. In the Vermont Invitation League, Northfield placed first. Burlington was hot on our neck and took a well-earned second. With one oi the best combinations of interscholastic riflemen in the state, Northfield won the state tournament. Clesson Stewart had the highest average total of all the club for the year and also took top honors in the standing position. Gary Beattie, who ran the Invitation League with the welcome help of coach James Beattie, took the trophy for the highest prone average, and the coveted sitting and kneeling award. Mr. Beattie really has put a lot of work into a fine team this year and deserves the thanks of all of us.

SOCIALS

The Junior Prom was the big event of 1952. This formal dance is put on every year by the Junior Class, with the seniors as their guests. As the year drew to a close, the class of '53 put on the big formal in honor of the seniors. The outstanding event of the evening was the coronation by the Junior Class President of the King and the Queen, Dick Provost and Lorraine Brassard. They were attended by three girls and three tovs: Ma~y Garrity, Joyce Cross, Bev Gray, Dick Marceau, Jack Baroffio, and Maurice Bedard. After the crowning, the Grand March was led by Mr. and Mrs. Crane. The Norwich Grenadiers furnished the music. The hall was gayly decorated in paste! shades of pink, green and white.

On October 17, 1952 everyone put on his old clothes and came to the Co. F Armory to the Farmers' Ball for an evening of round and square dancing to the music furnished by Roger's Rhythm Makers. Some of the faculty who did not care to dance brought along their cards and enjoyed a quiet game of canasta. Cornstalks and pumpkins seemed to be appropriate decorations for this affair. Using a little shotgun persuasion the guards saw to it that the arbor was kept in constant use. Refreshments of cider and donuts were sold by Dick Brassard and Nancy Allen.

On the evenings of November sixth and seventh something new and different besame part of N. H. S. history. The senior class staged a musical comedy, entitled "Wear Pink." under the capable direction of Miss Ethel Wellington and Miss Anne Carey. The school auditorium was filled for both performances. The play was written by Mrs. George Burnham of Northfield and a friend, Mrs. Gladys Bowen. Mr. Crane and the stage committee did an excellent job in transforming the study hall platform into a complete setting for the play. The cast was as follows: Linda Bob Margot Jimmie

Irene Marshall Richard Brassard Jacqueline Provost Robert Plastridge

Aunt Abigail Mr. Crawford Fredericka Aurelia Bertrude

Elizabeth Streeter David Sargent Elaine Rogers Irene Doney Clement Confessore

Linda's Friends - Patricia Philip, Joseph Garrity, Bette Jane O'Grady, Donald Ford, Chloe Goodrich, John Buck. Margot's Friends - Beverly Harvey, Thomas Kingston, Maureen Garrity, Douglas Long, Thelma Abbott, Clayton Luce. Aurelia Chorus - Gayla Mayo, Jacqueline Young, Jerry Wall, Constance Boudreau. Aunt Abigail Chorus - Margaret Jennett, Bette Lou Thurston, Janice Gilpin, Marlene Sargent. Prompters - Jacquelyn Willette, Nancy Allen. A summary of the story follows: Linda has fallen in love with a young architect, who is a summer visitor in: town. She is sure that he loves her and though she passes all sorts of hints, she cannot get him to pop the question. Her sister Margot comes up with the scientific solution to the problem that colors have a definite affect on the emotions, and if you want to catch a man, wear pink. Linda and her aunt, Fredericka, who is strictly a man hater laugh at the idea, but Aunt Abigail, who at forty is still trying to catch her man and has designs on a bachelor named Mr. Crawford, is very interested. The night before Bob is to leave for home, Linda gives a party for him. Of course , it's just a coincidence that Linda's new party dress is pink, and that she has changed her mind and decided to wear it. Trouble comes w*hen Jimmie, Margot's boy friend, plroposes to Linda, saying that he has always been attracted to older women. Linda no sooner gets rid of Jimmie when Mr. Crawford comes in and asks her to marry him, stating all the advantages he could give her. Linda informs him that a bachelor's life is a lonely one. Then Bob arrives and some bad moments pass when he proposes to Linda and she gets angry, for by this time, she really

believes that it is her pink dress that is causing everyone to propose to her. This would mean that Bob does not really love her but is dazzled by her pink dress. It turns out, though, that Bob is color blind and does not know what color dress she is wearing. The only reason that he hadn't proposed before was that he was waiting to get a good job on which to support a wife and until then he would not ask any woman to marry him. A government appointment has just come through - one that he hoped he would get. The quarrsl is then patched up and they plan to live happily ever after. • I

Just about this time all the young people who had come to the party and had been enjoying themselves on the terrace come in followed by Mr. Crawford and Aunt Abigail, who, ofcourse, announce their engagement. Aunt Abigail believes that it was the pink dress which she had taken out of a trunk and put on, even though it did not fit her quite properly, which dazzled Mr. Crawford into proposing to her. Next Aurelia and Bertrude enter the scene. Aurelia is the colored maid who could not make her one and only love, Bertrude "pop de question." Naturally,

she got her man because she not only followed Margot's advise and put on a pink dress, but went even further and got all prettied up in a bright flame colored one. Margot gets the last laugh because of course Aunt Abigail and Aurelia think her theory was correct, and by this ti'ne even Fredericka the man hater is beginning to wonder if maybe she hasn't had the wrong outlook on life. The cast gave a very pleasing performance, with the memory of the songs and dances, which were worked into the comedy, the audience went home feeling that they had just spent a very enjoyable evening.

The corridor marshals are the policemen of N. H. S. They are the girls who keep the movement between classes as orderly as possible considering the lack of space. If it were not for these girls the eight periods at N. H. S. would probably last a good half hour longer! The girls to whom we extend our congratulations for a fine job this year are: Left to right - Christina Buck, Anita Jerd, Elaine Rogers, Nancy Allen, Jacqueline Provost, Jacquelyn Willette, Janice Gilpin, Elizabeth Streeter, Margaret Jennett.

STUDENT COUNCIL At the beginning of the year the council set up the social and assembly program calendars. These have been carried out successfully this year. A number of very interesting and enlightening assemblies were presented. The room inspections were carried on in much the same manner as last year, with the placque being awarded to the cleanest room. Members of this year's council are: Seniors: President, Donald Ford; Vice President, George Matheson; and Richard Brassard. Juniors: Secretary, Maureen Garrity; and Clement Confessore. Sophomores: George Mazuzan and Thomas Yearman. Freshmen: Roger Garrity and Thomas Morse. Again this year it was voted to continue as a member of the National Association of Student Councils. The first period study hall was taken over by the council. The eighth period senior homeroom period was also taken over by the senior members of the council. These attempts have been very successful and we believe that through the cooperation of the entire student body, the council will continue to grow in Northfield High School.

For the sixth consecutive year the Senior Class published a periodical entitled the "Rambles." This publication serves two purposes; to enlarge the class treasury aid to give practical experience in journalism. The class this year followed the example set by the Class of '52, that of having an assistant editor chosen from the Junior Class with the understanding that he will become editor his Senior Year. This year a very efficient staff worked diligently in order to present the school with a paper of which it could be proud.

PiflY This year a new social event was added to the school calendar, the Faculty Play. This play was presented to help make up a deficit in the treasury of the athletic association. The cast of the play was made up of eight faculty members and fourteen students. When the senior play was taken from the music teacher and given to Miss Brooks by the principal, trouble began. Ted, the star basketball player, tried out for the play and stirred up difficulties between the coach and Miss Brooks and also between Rhonda and Jane Who wanted to play opposite Ted. When Rhonda didn't get the part her mother annoyed Miss Brooks by her continual interferences during rehearsals. Irked by the frequent interruptions of the basketball team and the band, Jane hid the basketballs and the band instruments. Word got to the principal about the missing band instruments and basketballs and Miss Brooks was indignantly ordered to return them. When Ted and Mr. Longacre heard of this they were quite angered and annoyed; they left, the girls without further word. At last the time for the presentation of the play came but Martin, who had a major role, was taken to the hospital wih appendicitis. At this point the coach came to the rescue and took Martin's part. After this noble gesture, the coach and Miss Brooks settled their differences and once again became a very amorous couple. Recognition must be given Mr. Streeton, who did a remarkable job of producing the sound affects, Mrs. Emma Sargent, and James Pedley who prompted, and Mr. Crane and his stage crew for efforts in constructing a life-like setting.

The Art Club was started at the beginning of the school year. It is composed of nine members. Club officers were elected as follows: President, Arnold Martin; Treasurer, Donald Boardman; Secretary, Beverly Hardaker. Club dues were set at 250 for every two months. Meetings were held in the chemistry laboratory under the direction of Miss Baird. In November, activities opened with the arrangment of the exhibit for National Art Week. During the year the members of the Art Club arranged the bulletin board in the study hall with the different drawings and exhibits done in class. Due to the low membership, a "drawing puzzles" contest was held to increase membership. Prizes were awarded. Slides and pictures were shown throughout the year. They were used in studying design and landscape. The Art Club has done a great job on the bulletin boards with their artistic drawings, lettering, and arrangements. It has really added a great deal of color and life to the study hall.

The Library Club met in September and the members got an early start in learning their job. About twenty students were present at the first meeting and several others joined later. Officers were elected as follows: President, Christina Bu^k and Secretary, Geraldine Hatch. The schedule was made out for the library table during study halls. Many new dictionaries were added this year. A new set of encyclopedias was added at the beginning of the year. Exchange copies from the different schools and the "National Geographic" magazine have helped to make some interesting reading for those who use the material. The fine cooperation and good work of the librarians have kept the book racks in good order. 1st row - Phyllis Genero, Marlene Sargent, Christina Buck, Geraldine Hatch, Jacqueline Young, Dawn McKinney. 2nd row - Theresa Partlow, Rachael Hall, Constance Boudreau, Lois Hayward, Gloria Wood, Beverly Hardaker. 3rd row - Sally Lance, Patricia Seaver, Patriria Ferry, Barbara Streeter, Bette Lou Thurston.

The third annual Winooski Valley Festival was held in Northfield on Friday, March 27. Following rehearsals, which lasted all day, the chorus of 200 voices directed by Miss Esther Mesh oi Randolph, and the 75-piece orchestra conducted by Miss Anne Carey of Northfield, presented a fine and varied program for the music lovers of the area. The festival has two main purposes: to give more students a chance to participate than is possible in the state festival, and to give more people a chance to hear them perform. Those taking part represented the schools of Barre, Montpelier, Waterbury, Randolph, Williamstown, Chelsea, Plainfield, Marshfield, Cabot, Waitsfield, and Northfield.

DEGREE B. A. OR 8. S. Arts, Aviation Administration, Business Administration, Chemistry, Genera! Science, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Management, 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 Patridge, Founder of Norwich University.
