SANDY KELLEY, JUDY MORTON, MARY GILLESPIE, PHOEBE GLYNN For eight years we had been preparing for this day! At long last, we were lumbering up the imposing steps of B.F.A. to register as Freshmen! Everyone was won- dering if he would ever find his way around and become acquainted. After We purchased our supplies, leamed our schedules, and where all our rooms were, we were ready to settle down to work-or at least, were prepared to give that appearance. For our class officers our Freshman year we chose: President, Bob L.aCross, Vice-President, Florence Hilliker, Secretary, Bob Sanborn, Treasurer, Roddy Hill. Now we were starting to feel real big, but the Freshman Reception took us down a few notchesf As football season rolled around, we were all proud to see the large number of boys that made the team. They were Bob Pierce, Dick Portelance, Leonard Trombley, Andy Urquhart, Win Heald, Bob Sanbom, Bill Willis, Jim Arnold, David Lemnah, Roddy Hill, Bob Boomhover. Norman Templeton and Francis Davies as assistant managers. For basketball that first year were: Bob LaCross, Dave Reirden, Win Heald, Bob Boomhover, and Roddy Hill. Those answering Mr. Comi's call: Camille Des- Lauriers, Sally Pratt, Joan Aldrich, Carol Turnor, Rita Ploof, Judy Savard, Linda Soule, and Brenda Benoit. As Freshmen we appointed Doug Reed as our representative to Allied Youth. Chosen as representatives to Student Council were Gail Montgomery and Jim Fitzgerald. As Freshmen we tried to prove our acting ability, but the Sophomores proved to be better. Our play Buddy Buys An Orchid, starred the following people: Billy LaPan, Mary Ellen Gillespie, Dick Portelance, Rita Ploof, and Pat Pelkey with Judy Savard, Linda Soule, and Kay Ready as prompters. Margaret Giroux and Pat Hogan completed the cheering squad that year. The presentation of the musical Fall Frolics starred Bill LaPan, Pat Hogan, Camille DesLauriers, Norman Templeton, Fay Caswell, Jim Fitzgerald, Art Guertin, Brenda Benoit, Florence Hilliker, Sandy Kelley, and Francis Davies. As warm weather approached, baseball became the favorite pastime, and those who made the team were Art Guertin and Bob LaCross. Phoebe Glynn and Kay Ready were excellent repre- sentatives of our class in the Choraliers. In September of 54,v We were newly-made sopho- mores and thus, a little more bold and less bewildered. Since we were no longer wondering starry-eyed and hazily through the now-familiar corridors, we confidently elected Leonard Trombley, Bob LaCross, Roger Gingras and James Fitzgerald to lead us through our Sophomore year. Our first social obligation was to welcome the Fresh- men at the annual reception, and we felt the weight of years as we watched these children CU cavorting around the gym. That fall, sixteen of our class were resplendent in the green and yellow uniform of our football squad. These were: Francis Davies, Norman Templeton, Andy Urquhart, Jim Arnold, Roddy Hill, Dean Paquette, Francis Potter, David Lemnah, Leonard Trombley, Dick Portelance, Bob LaCross, Danny Morton and Billy Willis. Jim Fitzgerald, Bev Gaboury and Jean Biggie repre- sented our Sophomore class at Student Council. The newly-formed Latin II Club that year was headed by Phoebe Glynn, Florence Hilliker, Bev Gaboury, Win Heald, and Dick Ready. Doug Reed, David Cleveland, and Dick Ready were elevated to exalted positions on the Allied Youth Execu- tive Board. That year the Junior Jamboree cast included Sandy Kelley, Virginia Lehmann, Dick Ready, Florence Hilliker, and Linda Soule, with Pat Pelkey and Judy Morton as prompters. P. S. We didn't win that year either! Among the staff members on the Mercury board that year were Gail Montgomery, Phoebe Glynn, Pat Pelkey, Linda Soule and Kay Ready. To start our Junior year on the right foot, we elected Paul Bilodeau, Maggie Giroux, Jim Fitzgerald, Norman Manning as class officers to lead us through the busy year. CTheir feet seemed to be the largest we could Hndll Twenty-seven members of our class occupied posi- tions on the Mercury staff. Voicing their opinions as representatives in Student Council were Paul Bilodeau, Dave Lemnah, Dick Ready, and Jean Biggie. Jim Fitzgerald was among these who represented B.F.A. at the State Student Council Con- vention at Stowe. Betty Cantell from Burlington High School, and Sally Therrien from Swanton High, were welcomed by the Junior class as transfers. As our contribution to the Junior Jamboree we pre- 32
