This blueprint is what he uses during construction, so that his final product will be as perfect as possible. The editorial staff of the Sampler endeavored in compiling this volume to draw up the educational blueprint which has evolved over a period of many years and which is now being used by the citizens of the Town of Rockingham in building future citizens for the com- munity and the world. This blueprint, developed within Bellows Falls High School, is well- rounded. It includes not only the academic, but also the sports, activ- ities, organizations, and social life which are necessary if the product — the student — is to be a capable individual in tomorrow's world and one who in turn will educate his sons as his forefathers educated him. Our purpose is to record this blueprint as it stands in the year 1959, and in so doing we hope we have given an accurate picture of school life here. Above all we wish to enable the memory-seeker of future years to recapture the enjoyable experiences of the past. DEDICATION The students of Bellows Falls High School have found in Miss Hennessey a model of loyalty and de- votion to the highest principles for which the teach- ing profession stands. Her unswerving adherence to fairness in her dealings with pupils and fellow teach- ers, the unselfish giving of herself to help the faltering student, her insistence upon the highest of personal integrity in her students and her own finest exem- plification thereof have endeared her to hundreds of boys and girls in Bellows Falls and have in- spired many an adult in our community. We there- fore dedicate this 1959 Sampler to Miss Ann Hen- nessey who in retiring from active teaching remains forever in the hearts of all who have known her and worked with her in Bellows Falls High School. 4 The Board as it meets in the Superintendent's office. The members are John Fletcher, chairman; William Hennessey, clerk; and John Porter. Mr. Holland, Superintendent of Schools, is to the left of the group at his desk. THE SCHOOL BOARD The School Board in the town of Rockingham has three members, all graduates of Bellows Falls High School. These are John Fletcher, chairman; William Hennessey, clerk; and John Porter. These men are ordinary town citizens who have been elected to their posts on the school board by their fellow townsmen. The duties of a school board as outlined in a hand- book put out by the state board of education include interpreting the needs of the community, developing school policy, selecting and working with administrators and teachers of the schools in their school system, furnishing finances, and keeping the public informed on the purpose, value, conditions, and needs of public education in the community. In developing policy for the school, the school board basically interprets and extends the state laws concern- ing schools to apply to teachers, pupils, and others in the local school system. At all times, the board is re- sponsible for seeing that state laws are carried out in the local situation. These laws and regulations pertain to such matters as taxation, budgeting, purchasing, contracting debt, construction school buildings, trans- porting pupils, truancy, health of pupils, curriculum, length of school term, and manner of instruction. The board has recently revised the salary schedule, including in the new schedule a rather unique feature which gives recognition for long and loyal service by any teacher. A teacher who has taught in the Rocking- ham school system for twenty or more years and who has complied with the State Retirement regulations may, five years before retirement, obtain a $500 in- crease in salary, thereby enhancing their state retire- ment pay. The Rockingham School Board is also intending not only to develop a good school athletic field but also to establish a good family recreation area. 6 SUPERINTENDENT HILTON C.

By working a few hours each week, boys are able to earn extra money, not to mention valuable work experience. Dan Brown, who has been with the school sjnce the thirties, and now is chief custodian, directs his staff through the year-round tasks of sweeping, board cleaning, basket emptying, painting, mop- ping, waxing, dusting, carrying, window washing, and swirling (a new form of coffee break). Dan is an avid reader. He is famous for his sense of humor and humorous expressions. If you ask him about his job, Dan will tell you that he is a main- tenance engineer graduated from Cold River Custodial Institute. JANITORS - LEFT TO RIGHT: R. Trombley, R. Kilburn, J. Barrett, W. Mellish, D. Rogers, and A. Reed. Dan Brown, B.F.'s intellectual custodian, reads his New York Times during a coffee break. Mary Gray and Polly McPhee, capable cooks in our cafeteria, dish out another plateful for the next in line. In the spring of 1958, the community was subjected to an evening of entertainment, the likes of which had never before been seen in Bellows Falls. The evening was April 29, and the occasion was the Rockingham- Westminster Education Association (RWEA) Play Nite. Students let out their first gasps when, in The 12 Pound Look, they observed their assistant principal, Mr. Streeter, serving as butler to their English teacher, Mr. Jillson. Mr. Jillson played a very pompous and cor- rect Englishman, who tried to dominate everything, including his wife. He succeeded to the extent that he lost his first wife, and as the curtain closed, was on the verge of losing his second. The second play, The Baby Carriage, was very dramatic and well acted. The conflict involved a poor family and the possible purchase of a baby carriage. When, after many trials, the family decided not to buy one, they received one as a gift. The third play involved an appropriate spring theme, How to Propose. Through a hilarious series of scenes, beginning with the cave man and ending with the man of today, it was proved that where there is love there are problems but where there is also a modern and no longer inferior woman, the man has no way out. Under the able direction of Mrs. Edward Toomey, Mr. John Wisell, Miss Betsy Jane Hertzberg (now Mrs. Hill), and Mr. John McAuliffe, the numerous members of the three casts all proved able actors and actresses and provided an evening of fine entertainment. Mr. Streeter holds the troy, timid Mrs. Wisell sits, and an obnoxious Mr. Jillson cavorts in the faculty play The Twelve-Pound Look. These plays are expected to become an annual affair. 18 Class Officers Michael Griffin, President; Joanne McCaffrey, Secretary; Sue Lucia, Treasurer; Paul Naski, Vice President. S. A. B.

Representatives The Juniors led Hi Schooler operations, put on two major dances during the year, and began to emerge as leaders in band, glee club, school state, Latin Club, and other organizations. They took Kuder tests and began to plan for the future. Stu- dents of the Junior class became eligible to take scholarship qualifying exams and College Board tests. The Juniors were inducted into the school po- lice system, the monitors, and the top scholars were admitted to the National Honor Society. A Junior either begins to think a little bit seriously or he finds himself on the losing side. This year's class began early to try to prove itself worthy of its standing in school by putting on the first class dance of the year, Indian Summer. One of the most noticeable events was the town survey in which all United States History students took part. The year was climaxed, however, by the annual Junior Prom, fol- lowed by the Senior Hop. 50 Joan Wisell, Patrick Reardon, Alice Diggins, James Bigelow. —1 THIS COMPLETE SECTION RESERVED —C- THIS CCmETE sea FIRST ROW: S.

SOPHOMORES Our school yearlings, the Sophomores, as fully initiated members of our school community, were able to sit back and watch the Freshmen struggle to keep ahead of all the new ideas and prob- lems of school life. But the Sophomores couldn't remain onlookers. Their new role as Sophomores opened the doors to new opportunities and duties. They were able to try their acting skills in competi- tion for the first time at Play-Nite. Latin Club was open for those Sophomores who had finished a year of Latin and were inclined to join. Sophomores moved in to fill vacancies in the Hi Schooler staff and Junior Varsity teams, taking advantage of all chances to prove themselves worthy of being mem- bers of B.F.H.S. The second dance of their high school career brought in a good crowd and showed that the class was beginning to work as a unit. And to make it all official, the Sophomores chose their ring design and spent many hard-earned dollars on class rings. P. Slobodnjak, A. Golec, P. Lucy, M. Grysko. FOURTH ROW: J. Fox, D. Osgood, M.

Once more our school welcomed into its midst a lively group of youngsters known as Freshmen. Coming from at least six different schools, the new Freshmen quickly learned to find their way from class to class without becoming lost. They found themselves forced to adapt to new teach- ers, classes, classmates, and rules. Nothing seemed to daunt their spirits, however, for they belonged to the largest class in school. From their midst, leaders in many fields began to ap- pear. Freshman artists claimed all of the prizes in the Senior High Division of the Hallowe'en Window Painting Contest. Some members of the class turned out to be efficient salesmen as they took to the village in the Curtis Magazine Campaign. Freshmen turned out for all sports and showed much promise for the future. As their class dance, Winter Wonderland, came to a close, we could truly say the Freshman class had become a functioning unit of our school. 54 Linda Chamberlin, Michael Cray. FIRST ROW: J.

On entering Bellows Falls High School, each fresh- man is automatically given orientation to high school experiences through a course in ninth year social sci- ence. Here the student learns about his school and town so that he may intelligently live and study with the people around him. Also embodied in this course are insights into proper study habits, occupations for the future, and the history, purpose, and pursuit of education. Physical education for both boys and girls is an in- tegral part of the curriculum with four years required unless the student is excused by a doctor or the prin- cipal. In these classes, exercises for building healthy bodies are learned as well as skills in playing specific games. ABOVE: Some of fhe Shop I boys learn the easy, yet correct, way to build a cupola. BELOW: Eyes, at all times, must be protected when using the lathe. John Oakes and Harry Taylor are learning the proper techniques here. BELOW: Freshmen learn, in Social Science, the importance of various plaques, trophies, and other objects around school. Carrie Lynch shows a plaque to James Hennessey and Shirley Rebidue. Junior high boys, os well as girls, learn the essentials of good homemaking — including washing the dishes used. In the foreground are Rodney Stewart, Charles Golec, and William Atkins. Almost all students except college prep students take home economics or shop, where they learn many practical skills. The home economics classes cover such areas as good grooming, sewing, cooking, interior decorating, and child care, thus attempting to prepare students for running a home of their own. The shop course has been reorganized some- what this year to include many types of metalwork as well as woodwork. Students must design projects in de- tail before beginning construction, and in the course o f the year must learn the proper uses of all tools avail- able. Students are divided into two units, workmen and foremen being assigned to each unit. This gives stu- dents a chance to lead as well as to follow. This skill may be valuable to them in later life. Safety and main- tenance of equipment are the responsibility of all stu- dents. Classes in general science, shop mathematics, and machines and electricity are almost companion classes and add to the students' practical knowledge for the future, (con't next page) Students' art attempts are given a thorough check by a scrutinizing judge, Mrs. Wetherell. LEFT: Three girls in gym class strive to lead their teams to victory in a basketball relay race. Foreground are Dianne Lashua, Roberta McDermott, and Linda Cham- berlin. Algebra I student, William Mellish does a problem on the board as his teacher, Mrs. Hill checks his work. Students enrolled in merchandising, business, sec- retarial, or civic courses find themselves learning business arithmetic, planned not only to make their future businesses economically sound but also to aid in figuring income taxes and in determining wise insurance policies. Other students find themselves involved in the higher mathematics of Algebra I and II, Plane Geometry, Trigonometry, and Solid Geometry. Al- though at times the problems seem a bit abstruse and useless, the more the student learns, the more useful this area of mathematics becomes, until one day the student surprises himself by using his alge- bra or geometry in figuring a problem at home or on the job. A math club, started this year under Mr. Riley, gives avid math students a chance to pursue such subjects as probability, use of math tools from the abacus to the slide rule, logarithms, and calculus. World History is the first chance students have to try a high school level history course. Offered primarily for Sophomores, it covers material from the Stone Ages until the present day. Since the course covers such a wide range of time, it is im- possible to go into any one era with too much de- tail, but the course is a good background course for English and other subjects. English, a four-year required course for all stu- dents is the class where students learn to express themselves so they can be understood now and in the future. They also learn to understand and inter- pret what other people are trying to communicate. There are opportunities to show initiative and lead- ership in group work, debating, oratory, writing, explaining, dramatizing, and publications. During this course the student also becomes acquainted with both classic and modern literature of Great Britain and the United States. Biology is a subject which, although not required, is highly recommended. It gives a great deal of practical knowledge for use in modern society, whether the student becomes a farmer, a Red Cross worker, or just an ordinary homemaker, (con't page 62) The Future Homemakers of America, headed by Miss Andreae are — FIRST ROW: L.

Elaine Pearson shows a lung to the class. Group discussion work is an integral part of Mr. Jillson's Eng- lish classes. Here are Juniors studying American Literature. Although not commonly spoken today, Latin can be a most useful acquisition in the further study of English and other languages. As a classic language, it is a base for and guide to understanding of many modern terms and is one of two main sources for scientific names. French is a working language and students study- ing it must not only learn to read, understand, and translate but also learn to speak and write in French. Knowledge of French history and customs is included in the two year course. The knowledge of more than one language is becoming increasingly important in today's world, as a prerequisite for many colleges and jobs. Physics is an introduction to the world around us as it changes in size, shape, color, and general ap- pearance. Questions about electricity, sound, heat and cold, weight, light, and mechanical advantage disappear as answers are found by experiment. Chemistry, a companion course to physics, delves into chemical changes in basic structure and com- position. It includes an entirely new area of science and whets our appetites for more, (con't page 64) Mr. Olbrych moves around his busy Typing I class. Students have already had the basic instructions and are working on advanced methods. Here he looks over Dorothy Frink's shoulder. Judy Cray (foreground), and Janet McCaffrey are hard at work. Mrs. Cotton points out to her French II class the right way to correct sentences in the review lesson. Notice the different facial expressions of her students. Robert Luther, of Mr. Tremblay's U.S. History class, explains to Marie Lynch that the Louisiana Purchase is in North America — not South. The fundamentals come first — then the game. Here one of the girls' gym classes has a dribbling relay, which is both practice and fun. Mr. Davis checks the apparatus for the distillation of water while at the next desk, Frank Chamberland performs a chemical experiment on titration. Before graduation, each student is required to pass the course in United States History. This in- cludes gaining a knowledge of the U.S. Constitution, the history of politics, the trend toward social re- form, the position of the United States in world affairs previously and today, and the role each citizen of the United States should play in order to keep this a democratic nation where freedom is more than a word. Students in secretarial, business, and merchandis- ing courses learn standard business methods from courses in typing, bookkeeping, stenography, and office practice. The school is equipped with calcula- tors, adding machines, manual and electric type- writers, and a dictaphone. With this equipment, students get practical experience with the machines, as well as learning filing. The senior typing class does all the typing for the school paper and these stu- dents also type for people outside at a minimum charge plus the cost of supplies. The merchandising group has included in its class- work such interesting and educational projects as running Newberry's store for a day. Mr. Gleason and four members of the group attended, in Mont- pelier, the meeting of the state Distributive Educa- tion Clubs of America, where Francis Burns was elected state president. A half-year course in Driver Training is eagerly taken by many students who, although they may not be perfect drivers afterwards, at least have learned the right way under guidance, (con't page 67) Bea Tenney and Jim Bigelow work an experiment on me- chanical pulleys in the Physics laboratory.

Each year the Modern History class sets up a school state and leads the school in political campaigning with party platforms, town meetings, petitions, caucuses, primary elections, speeches, and final elections for model state, county, and local officers from among the student body. School State gives a dress rehearsal for those students who, at the end of their Junior year, are selected to attend Boys' State and Girls' State in New Hampshire and Vermont. Those attending are selected for being outstanding in scholarship and active good citizens in the school and community. From the United States history classes, delegates are selected to attend the Model United Nations General Assembly at Plymouth Teachers' College. These students are assigned as representatives of a certain country and must be versed not only in the methods of BELOW: The library is invaluable as a reference and study room. Here is one section on a typical busy day. Tom Veitch and Ruth Brandon represented Mexico at the Model United Nations General Assembly in 1958. procedure in United Nations debate but also in the subjects on the agenda from the point of view of the country they represent. In on SAB assembly, Mr. David Williams poors liquid air over on inflated balloon causing the air in the bal- loon to contract. The Student Advisory Board, aided by dimes collected from the student body, once more sponsored six outstanding high school assemblies, covering a variety of subjects. Early in the year, students were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. David Williams, who experimented with liquid air and roused many students' interest in science. Later in the year students were impressed by the colorful, informative, and amusing umbrella display by Anna Mandel; the deftly executed and exquisitely beautiful sand pictures of Ray Maple,- and the resonant tenor voice of Pruth McFarlin. The Schmidts with their amazing balancing and athletic feats, and the Roscoes rodeo performance rounded out a year of very enjoyable assemblies. The Jessie Judd Chapter of the National Honor Society met early in the fall to choose officers and make plans for the year including the Fall Banquet at which three new members were admitted. Officers are Thomas Veitch, president; Stanley Marino, vice-president; and Joanne McCaffrey, secretary. The banquet, prepared and served by the Home Economics classes was excellent. The Rev. Charles Calcagni gave a graphic and engrossing account of his experiences working with some of the less privileged youngsters of Hartford, Connecticut, namely a notorious teen-age gang called the Dukes. The eve- ning ended with the traditional presentation of red roses to the ladies present. The local chapter of the National Honor Society poses at the annual banquet.

Ruth Brandon, Sampler copy editor, does research be- fore writing for the yearbook. The ever watchful editor, Tom Veitch looks on as Nyla Haines checks on the status of the financial drive of the Sampler. The Sampler Staff, after being announced class day of the previous year, came back in the fall of 1958 to be faced with not only the hustle and bustle of the ordinary senior life but also the numerous tasks necessary in producing a yearbook. One of their first assignments was to spend several days in New York Citv at the Columbia Scholastic Press Yearbook Conference to learn the various ins and outs of making a good yearbook. Their nearly ex- hausted advisor almost immediately demanded to know how the group was planning to pay for the trip, but the staff retaliated by selling note paper and executing a successful financial campaign, nec- essary if the price of the Sampler were to remain reasonable. Then came the job of taking, sorting, and labeling the myriad of pictures of the clubs, social activities, and sports that are an important part of the extra- curricular life at Bellows Falls High School. Dead- lines drew near and although they were a little earlier this year than in previous years, staff mem- bers made plans accordingly and met them on time. Composing original copy and typing it on to one hundred and four layout forms was a good sized headache for everyone. The group strove for originality in all phases of the yearbook work, and it is hoped final product showed it. THE HI SCHOOLER Editor Sue Thrasher, production manager Jim Bigelow, and adviser Mr. McAuliffe discuss plans for the next issue. FIRST ROW: H. Bronk, M. Trombley, P. Slobodnjak, S. Thrasher, P.

Merrill, D. Knowlton, Mr. McAuliffe, adviser. Learning from the experience of previous years7 papers, the 1958-59 Hi Schooler staff under the able editorship of Suzanne Thrasher, increased the number of pages per issue from eight to fifteen, and at the same time decreased the number of issues per year. Because clever artists were on the staff, it was de- cided to have a pictorial cover for each issue. Stories scattered among news and human interest items helped make the Hi Schooler more of a magazine and less of a newspaper. One of the Hi Schooler's undertakings was the sponsoring of a literary contest. This gave all students a chance to offer material for publication. The prizes were no small incentive and several good pieces were received. The staff took over the sale of programs at basketball games. This involved quite a bit of work but brought in needed income. This mercenary staff contrived three ways of increasing sales. The first was a 75$ savings to students. The second was the creation of three advertising managers, one for each floor for competition. The third was a $1 prize each month to the home- room treasurer selling the most copies. It is interesting to note that the staff gave away money in order to earn money. MONITORS Monitor captain, Ruth Brandon, talks over problems and possible changes with Miss Santamaria, adviser. Monitors are students who have been especially picked from the Senior and Junior classes to guide traffic in the halls and to supervise in cafeteria and between classes. Since these students are doing a job which in some schools might be delegated to teachers, they must be good school citizens, and mature enough to meet the problems which fre- quently arise both on and off duty. They must learn to be impartial and treat everyone with respect and courtesy no matter how trying or personal the situation may be. They must be able to resist the temptation to let a misbehaving friend off easy and they must be able to stand up for the right even off duty when the temptation to follow the crowd may be strong. Each year Miss Santamaria has the difficult job of training new monitors and trying to help them mature enough so they can really do their jobs well. Perhaps, though, her most difficult job is that of judge when a student appeals a monitor's warning. The monitor system is one of the two school organizations that give opportunity to practice self-government and deserves everyone's support. THIS COMPL FIRST ROW: D. Allen, C. Merriam, N. Haines, S.

The Student Advisory Board consists of eighteen members,- six seniors, four juniors, two sophomores, two freshmen, two eighth graders, and two seventh graders. The members plus the faculty advisor, Mr. Tremblay, meet the first and third Monday of every month to dis- cuss school problems and innovations suggested by the students. On November 21-22, Sue Lucia, Pat Reardon, Pat Trybulski, and Mr. Tremblay, representing the Bellows Falls S.A.B., attended the annual meeting of the Ver- mont Association of Student Councils, held this year in Brandon. In discussion groups, the students learned ways to improve their own student councils. This year, the Student Advisory Board, with the assistance of the school nurse, directed the annual clothing drive. Sue Lucia, as chairman, took over the advertising and headaches of the project. An annual duty of the S.A.B. is the planning of the school assembly program for the ensuing year. This year the group finally decided on six assemblies which they hope will provide a varied and enjoyable series of assemblies. Another problem connected with this project is money to pay for it. The S.A.B. collected dimes from students before each assembly but this didn't always yield as much as expected. Other fund raising projects of the S.A.B. were the selling of cokes at basketball games and the selling of Bellows Falls High School book covers to the student body. This year's Board carried on the tradition of partici- pating in a Bellows Falls-Brattleboro dual council meeting. Taking its turn as host, the Bellows Falls S.A.B., with the assistance of Miss Andreae, served a buffet supper, followed by an interesting evening pro- gram. A new accomplishment of the Student Advisory Board this year was the establishment of a dance code. This will save many arguments when future classes are planning dances.

Diggins, LATIN CLUB Latin Club has gradually gained a more prominent place in Bellows Falls High School activities. Although membership remains about the same as in other years, the group seems to be more active. May 5—9, 1958 was the high point of the Latin Club season — Latin Week. Posters were spread throughout the school showing Roman-style cartoons, English derivations of Latin words, and general publicity for Latin Week. Among the various displays were Roman valentines and models of siege implements of Caesar's day. May 7, the school saw the full length movie, Helen of Troy, as part of Latin Week. May 8, Latin Club members wore Roman costumes in school with a prize given for the best costume. That evening the cafeteria was transformed into an old Roman hall for the annual Latin Club Banquet. The week ended with a fashion show for the Junior High. This fall when the Latin Club mustered its forces, it im- mediately embarked upon several money-making projects. Although the treasury wasn't empty, the added income from the food sale and sale of Mrs. Leland's Old Fashioned Butter Bits was welcome. Salesboys and salesgirls overran the community and school crying, They'll make grand Christmas presents. They're so good. Money is being saved for such eventualities as a trip to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and, of course, Latin Week 1960. The 1958-59 Officers in appropriate costume are: Pat Trybulski, Sec.; Joan Wisell, Treas.; Jim Bigelow, V. Pres.; and Paul Naski, Pres. FIRST ROW: W. Zielinski, M. Talbot, S. Metcalf, P.

SPOTLITE CLUB In the spring of 1958, the Spotlite Club and everyone in school was proud to have a play from Bellows Falls High School reach the New England Drama Festival. The spirits of the cast were only slightly dampened because the plays were held in Montpelier, thus depriving them of too long a trip. Everyone was soon happy again, however, when Rise and Shine received a very good rating. With veteran Thespians back in the fall, the Spotlite Club soon revived, starting Playnite tryouts almost before textbooks had been issued. After many rehearsals and hard work on the part of Miss Brown and her three casts and helpers, Playnite arrived, November 22, 1958. Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors got into the act as the audi- ence spent an enjoyable evening watching Safe Harbor, a romantic drama about an old lady who had spent 50 years waiting faithfully for the return of her seafaring sweetheart; Helena's Husband, a comedy based on the Helen of Troy story,- and Zone of Quiet, a farce taking place in a hospital room full of confusion. Helena's Husband, the winning play, included Leonard McAuliffe, winner of the best actor award of the evening. The best actress award went to Sally Brown, who played the garrulous nurse in Zone of Quiet. left to Right: FIRST ROW: H. Bronk, J. Skel- Ion, M. Chaisson, R. Bragg, Miss Brown, P. Connelly, L.

They organized with Pat Lucy and Phil Rice as managers and started practicing new music for use at school dances. The group also had other engagements this year, including a chance to play for all of the bands in the area at the Band Clinic in Spring- field. With these new engagements, their Tuesday evening practice became more important. When school started, music classes were found to be crowded, yet loaded with prospective Glee Club material. Miss Bedell found it very difficult to choose only forty-nine choice singers for Glee Club, so she also selected a corps of substitutes who attended special rehearsals and were prepared to step into the robes of regular Glee Club mem- bers at any time. Fifteen of the Glee Club members sang for the Women's Club, on December 2, and two weeks later, all music classes participated in a free public Christmas Concert. The fine quality of music at these first appearances gave forewarning of good musical programs the rest of the year. FIRST ROW: N. Belknap, librarian,- J. Rousseau, V. Pres.,- N. Haines, Sec.,- P.

These help to insure that everybody will be on hand and know what he is doing. Also the band had Sergeant O'Briskie, Recruiting Officer for the United States Marines, helping train them for snappy march- ing. The police department agreed to block traffic on Henry Street once a week for an hour so the band could practice. When the fall marching season ended, the band was already well started in learning its con- cert music. Everyone helped in one way or another — by selling tickets, arranging and disarranging the stage, making posters — to make the Fall Band Con- cert a success. There was a project afoot which may have given impetus to the work of the group. The band BAND FIRST ROW: D. Vogel, R. Johnson, N. Faulkner, A. Frey, R. Switzer, M. Hennessey. SECOND ROW: L.

Connelly. AND CHEERLEADERS Some years, when the band goes marching down the street, people wonder why anyone ever bothers with majorettes. This year. Bellows Falls High School majorettes have done an admirable job and have proven a great asset to the school. Practicing regu- larly through spring, summer, and fall, the majorettes, Lettie Usher, Trudy Halladay, Sandra Bain, Ida Di- Bernardo, Ann Sackevich, Pat Trybulski, Terry Reis, and substitutes Madeline Seney, Angela Capron, and Sandra Robinson performed at football games and during pep rallies, much to the delight of all who saw them. The group is sorry it will not receive new uniforms next year when the band does, but hopes that new uniforms will be forthcoming before too many more years elapse. This year's cheerleaders, Alice Diggins, Pat Con- nelly, Janet McCaffrey, Ann Lucia, Phyllis Whit- comb, and Joni Wisell, have enjoyed the satisfaction of having three of the most wanted items, in a cheerleader's mind. First, Mrs. Dorothy Jones agreed to be their adviser and sponsor. Secondly, they found solid support from the student body not only at home games, but also at away games. Thirdly, they laid plans for new uniforms which, although not here in time for the Southern Vermont League Basketball tournament, will be around for next year. Majorettes: FRONT: L. Usher. BACK: D.

FOOTBALL.. .TERRIER Dick Skeels is tackled after catching a pass in the third quarter of the Bennington game. Benn High won 13—7. Luck was certainly not with the Terrier grid squad this year as they went down to defeat in seven out of eight games. From the first moment of the Windsor game to the last moment of the Springfield game, B.F.'s eleven gave their best, with injuries to key players wounding the team steadily. The season opened at Windsor with quarterback Mike Griffin knocked out of play in the first four minutes. A fumble recovered by Butch Burns was turned into the only Terrier score by a Reardon to Savoie pass. Dick Skeels scored the extra point, and Windsor went on to win 20—7. In the second game at home against Bennington, the Terriers again were defeated and center Wayne Mellish broke his leg in the second quartet. The only Bellows Falls score was on a Reardon to Dagnoli pass, leaving the score 13—7. In a driving rain at Brattleboro in the third game. Bellows Falls was shut out 34—0. This left the Terriers with FIRST ROW: W. Mellish, P. Savoie, F. Burns, P. Wasklewicz, J. Dognoli, T. Dunn, F, Patalano, L. McAuliffe, N. Garland, W. Wright, A. Robinson. SECOND ROW: J.

TEAM HAS TOUGH SEASON: 1-7 twenty-two wins, thirty-one losses, ana six ties against Brattleboro since 1894. Paul Savoie recovered a fumble on the Rutland five yard line and scored for the only touchdown in another 20—7 decision during game number four. This brought the Terriers half way through the season without a win. The next team they faced was winless also and for a while it looked like a possible victory against Claremont. But even with Mike Griffin playing again, a single score was the most Bellows Falls could do, losing 13—6. Griffin passed to Goutas to score in game six against Mount St. Joseph; however, after the B.F. early lead, the Mounties tore ahead to win 35—6. The Terriers finally had their first win as they slammed Hartford late in October, 21—0. It was the home team all the way with scores by Kiniry and Savoie and outstanding playing by Burns and Griffin. This left the team's morale in fine shape for the final game of the season against Springfield. Bellows Falls' teamwork was at its best for this game,- however luck was with the Cosmos and they grabbed a 13—6 victory. The Terriers were the first to score with a one yard rush by Kiniry in the second quarter. Before the season started. Bellows Falls High was honored by having Coach Hadley chosen to assist in coach- ing the Vermont All Star team for the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl game in Hanover, New Hampshire. This was his first time with the annual affair. Coach Hadley bites his lip in a tense moment. BASKETBALL: BFHS VARSITY TEAM, FIRST ROW: J. Bigelow, P. Savoie, M. Griffin, S. Marino, P. Naski, E.

This year's Bellows Falls High School basketball team was the best seen in the town for a good many years. With six players over six feet. Bellows Falls had somewhat of a height advantage over some of the other SVL teams. Not only height, but also fast smooth action, good rebounding, fre- quent ball stealing, and accurate shooting led the team to first place in the Southern Vermont League Class L play, with 13 wins and 1 loss. Outside of league play, the team won 5 games and lost 1, making a total of 18 wins and 2 losses for the year, previous to the Southern Vermont Tournament, held in Springfield. At the tournament. Bellows Falls found itself first pitted against fourth place Rutland, whom, thanks to Mike Griffin's shooting and rebounding, B.F. beat, 46—37. The following night, after a tense and hard-fought game with Windsor (the only team who had defeated the Terriers in league play), Bellows Falls found itself four points behind as the final buzzer sounded, thus losing the tournament 52—48. Bellows Falls thus became runner-up for the 7th time in tournament history. Mike Griffin, once more high scorer for Bellows Falls and top point-gainer in the SVL, was awarded a place on the all- tournament team and chosen outstanding player of the tournament.

Bellows Falls High School has four major spring sports each year. In the spring of 1958, boys' tennis had the best record of the four, ending the season with nine wins and only one loss. Among the teams that they beat were the Junior Varsity of Keene Teachers' College, and teams from Vilas, Brattleboro, and Springfield high schools. Each year the varsity tennis teams of Bellows Falls, Brattle- boro, and Springfield take part in what is called the Tri-School Tournament. In 1958 at this tournament in Brattleboro, Bellows Falls emerged the victor, with Brattleboro placing second, and Springfield placing last. Bellows Falls boys who placed notably in the tournament were the following: Gerald Moynihan, tournament cham- pion,- Bernard LaFlam, runner-up; David Chesley, fifth place,- Jerome Rousseau, ninth place; and Richard Wareing, eleventh place. From the tournament, a group of eight players were chosen to compete with the Vermont Academy varsity tennis team. The boys chosen from Bellows Falls High School were Gerald Moynihan, David Chesley, and Jerome Rousseau. All told, under the able coaching of Mr. Richard Sprague, the 1958 tennis team did well. Although they won few meets in the spring of 1958, the Terrier track team placed third at Keene, third at Vermont Academy, and Champion Tennis team for the Spring of 1958. FIRST ROW: J. Rousseau, S.

All were top point- getters for the Terriers. The latter three participated in the state track meet in Burlington. The Varsity baseball team ended the season with two wins and nine losses, the two wins both over Windsor by one run. Other teams that they met were Keene, Brattleboro, Stevens, Vermont Academy, and Springfield. The Junior Varsity did a little better, beating Brat- tleboro and Vermont Academy, and losing only to Keene. The newest addition to the roster of sports offered is golf, organ- ized under Mr. Gerald McCarthy and inherited by Mr. John Miller. Sidney Podwin and Gerald Moynihan were the only lettermen from the 1958 team. The 1958-59 team consisting of Francis Burns,, Maurice McAuliffe, Bruce Farrell, Jerry Rousseau, Tim Dunn, Paul Wasklewicz, and Manager Leonard McAuliffe traveled to the South ern Vermont Tournament in Springfield, in the fall, where Bellows Falls placed last.

GIRLS’ The Terrierettes ended the 1958 softball season with 10 wins and no losses. Under the superior guidance of Coach Dorothy Jones, the girls had a good-hitting, good-fielding team all season, scoring 214 runs to their opponents' 180.

The varsity had an average of 48 points per game, high for girls' basketball. One of the most exciting games of the season was against Bennington Catholic High. Although the Ter- rierettes won by a seemingly large margin, the game was close most of the way. Fouls played an important part in this game. Thirty-two were called — 21 against Bennington Catholic. The Claremont game at home was another hard-won victory. The Claremont girls were rough ball-players and the home team had to hustle to keep ahead. The climax of the season came when the Bellows Free Academy team came to Bellows Falls. The game was hard-fought but St. Albans height and snappier ball-handling downed the Terrierettes by six points.

These girls played three games against other schools and lost all three. Others of the fine selection of sports offered to girls at Bellows Falls High are archery, soccer, ping-pong, and new bowling teams. 89 Nominated for All- State Girls' Basket- ball Stars were Sue Lucia, left, and Judy Mercure, below. Athletic Association officers are Mike Griffin, Pat Trybulski, Sue Lucia, and Paul Naski. THE A. A. The Athletic Association considers all students hold- ing A.A. tickets to be its members. Usually this includes a large majority of the school. Early in the year, the Athletic Association officers, Mike Griffin, president, Paul Naski, vice-president, Patricia Trybulski, secretary, and Sue Lucia, treasurer presented an A.A. assembly to explain the purpose and functions of the organiza- tion and to delve into the position of athletics in school life. All students were urged to buy A.A. tickets, not only as an aid to the association, but also as a benefit to themselves. The ticket admits a student to all high school athletic events free, and enables him to get a student admission to out of town games. A committee of three, appointed from the Student Advisory Board, also work with the A.A. officers and their adviser, Prin- cipal Davis, and the faculty treasurer.

These awards are given annually by local organizations. TOURNAMENT Preston Belknap, editor of The Bellows Falls Times, pre- sents the championship trophy to the winning Kurn Hattin team. Under the guidance of tournament director, Mike Griffin, the 16th annual Junior High Championship was the high-light of the 1959 season. Mike's able and willing staff included Jim Wasklewicz, Pat Trybulski, Art Robinson, Paul Savoie, John Dagnoli, Joanne Mc- Caffrey, Lib McDonald, Helen Gallagher, Nancy Belknap, Sue Lucia, Nyla Haines, Wayne Mellish, Frank Patalano, Paul Wasklewicz, Len McAuliffe, and Walt Wright. This year's tournament battles provided plenty of ex- citement, with Kurn Hattin entering as favorite with a 13 and 0 record. Kurn Hattin emerged as predicted, finally earning the championship cup by winning their last game 39—16 against St. Charles, the runner-up. The big surprise of the tournament was the West- minster team who entered with a 0 and 9 record, only to upset second place North Walpole with a two point win in their first tournament game. Although the Westminster team lost to St. Charles the second night, they emerged with the Consolation Cup by beating Charlestown 26—15 in their last game. Chosen for the all-tournament team were Martin MacDonald and Roy Lane of Kurn Hattin, Jay Buckley of St. Charles, Carl McAllister of Charlestown, Philip Thomas of Westminster, and Harold Bushway of North Walpole. Most valuable player of the tournament was voted Martin MacDonald of Kurn Hattin. The all-tournament players, from Kurt Hattin, St. Charles, Charlestown, West- minster, and North Walpole. Jr. HIGH A St. Charles player breaks away during the final game, which Kurn Hattin won, 39—16. St. Charles offence, as shown here, kept Kurn Hattin well away from the basket, yet St. Charles lost by a heavy margin. INTERCLASS BASKETBALL Mo McAuliffe chalks up a score for the Juniors as fellow players look on. For six consecutive weeks, the boys' interclass basketball sessions were held on Saturday mornings. This year's play was dominated by the Seniors who ended in first place with a 5 and 1 record. The Jun- iors took second place with a 4 and 2 record. Among the four wins was a surprising upset of the Senior squad. The Sophomores upset the Juniors and ended the season with a 3—3 record. The hapless Fresh- men failed to place in the win column as they had an 0-6 record. High scorers in boys' interclass were J. Foster, Junior, 79 points,- N. Garland, Senior, 56 points; R. Cloutier, Junior, 52 points; A. Boucher, Senior, 50 points,- and J. Lynch, Junior, 46 points. Girls' interclass basketball started on March 9 and ended March 19 with the Freshmen winning the tournament. The final victory by the Freshmen over the Seniors was the decisive factor. The students who coached the teams were Dorine Edson, Freshmen; Judy Mercure, Sophomores; Elaine Kilburn, Juniors,- and Joanne McCaffrey, Seniors. Sue Lucia and Joan Biela were referees. Timekeeping and scoring was done by volunteers from the Varsity and Junior Varsity basketball squads. The most important part of any football game is the spectators. Some people may disagree with that, but here is ample proof for that belief in picture form. Sampler photographers, roaming around during the football season picked up these three shots of the crowd. On the left are several students during a rainy game with Hartford. Below are unique photos of the cheerleaders and team during a crucial point in Springfield game.

Had- ley had to sit on the stage during the entire show. As is the custom at B. F. H. S.( the Seniors began early in the year to think up things with which to heckle the Freshmen on “initiation day. This year that day arrived in October — soon enough so that the Freshmen were still newcomers; yet late enough so that the Seniors could plan a little. As soon as the Freshmen began to feel at home, the Seniors made them conspicuous ogain by having them wear clothes inside-out, backwards, and with unmatched colors. They wanted nobody to mistake a Freshman for a member of another class, so as an added security measure, the Freshman boys had to roll up their pant-legs and wear aprons. In the evening, everyone enjoyed the fun of watching the Freshmen put through various stunts as Terry Reis, mistress- of-ceremonies, called them to the stage. To begin the evening, Terry wanted everyone acquainted, so she had each person turn around and shake hands with the person behind him. Then followed a series of jokes involving many Freshmen including John Capron, Colleen Crotty, Patty Brattebo, Bill Toomey, Joanne Trybulski, Paula Clemens, Catherine Spinelli, and others. After the singing of the school song, everyone adjourned to the gym for dancing and refreshments. FOOTBALL SEMI-FORMAL The receiving line takes a rest. Mr. Davis, Mrs. Davis, Mr. Holland, Mr. Hadley, Malcolm Kiniry, Trudy Halladay, Joanne Me Caffrey, Paul Savoie, and Miss Brown. In the last year of their stay at Bellows Falls High School, the Senior Class sponsored their last dance, the Football Semi-Formal. On the evening of November 14, Allan Kendall and his Orches- tra delighted the couples. As they danced throughout the eve- ning, Alan Reed and his jovial waiters served refreshments. For this annual occasion the gym was decorated with sketches of fans and football players. Lib McDonald and Kathy Steele were responsible for these gay and original decorations. A suc- cessful advertising campaign was headed by Joanne McCaffrey and Lettie Usher. Sue Lucia found herself once more in charge of collecting money and Pat Connelly and Terry Reis were in charge of cleaning up after the fun was over. Checking on everyone was Paul Naski, general chairman. Those standing in the receiving line were Mr. and Mrs. Holland, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Davis, Mr. and Mrs. Streeter, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Davis, Miss Virginia Brown, and co-captains Paul Savoie and Dub Kiniry and their dates. Walter Wright fills Pat Connelly's glass with soda. In the foreground Paul Naski and Lettie Usher, and Robert Clough and Joanne Trybulski. Naski was general chairman of the dance.

CONCERTS Two consecutive nights in May, Miss Bedell and Mr. Martin presented a Pops Concert. This was the first pops concert here, involving a solo pianist, the swing band, orchestra, all members of the vocal music classes, and high school age couples who danced to swing band music. The gym was decorated with scenes from Boston where the original pops concerts were held. Junior High glee club members sold re- freshments. The audience was seated in the bleachers and also around tables, cabaret style. Everyone was pleasantly entertained. On December 18, 1958, Miss Bedell conducted a Christmas Concert. The singers included all vocal music classes. One teacher was heard to comment that it was the best quality of music that he had heard from a high school group. Classical, semi-classical, and modern music, all appropriate for the Christmas season instilled in each person a little more of the Christmas spirit. The combined orchestra and chorus perform under Miss Bedell's direction at the Pops Concert. BELOW: Dancers for the Pops Con- cert exhibited o variety of styles to the music of the Swing Band. The completed tree stonds to be admired in its traditional place, the foyer. This year's tree was the tallest on record. In December of 1958, as every year, the senior class ac- cepted the responsibility of obtaining and decorating a tree for the school's foyer. Alan Reed, Robert Bragg, Francis Burns, Tim Dunn, Paul Wasklewicz, and Leonard McAuliffe took a day off from school and came back with a thirty foot spruce. Through the courtesy of Mr. Barrows, the shop in- structor, a stand was attached, and nearly all the class went into action. Seniors decorated in free periods, before school, after school, and, with the loss of a few bulbs, a fully adorned Christmas tree stood to be admired throughout the week prior to vacation. Many agreed that this tree was one of the finest ever erected here. Terry Reis and Stanley Marino reach over the rail to add the final touches. This tree was dismantled before Christ- mas vacation. Leonard McAuliffe makes a comical remark to Richard Wareing during a scene in Curtain Going Up. To the right are Nyla Haines and Thomas Veitch. SENIOR PLAY On February 20, an audience assembled in the auditorium of BFHS and for two hours watched one of the most unique plays presented in this building. It was unique in the fact that the action of the play was not limited to the stage alone, but stemmed from all parts of the auditorium including the aisles and the stage. The play was a parody on a senior play, utilizing the stage and the auditorium for the setting, completely disregarding all persons seated in the audi- ence. The starring role was aptly handled by Nancy Belk- nap who portrayed Miss Irene Burgess, the new dra- matics teacher at Riverview High School. Miss Burgess had to face the problems of any person trying to fill the shoes of the previous dramatics teacher. Her life was not made easier by Miss Carolyn Moran and Miss Henrietta Rivers, two obstinate teachers played by Jean Stewart and Madeline Seney, respectively,- nor was she helped by the obnoxious janitor in the person of Robert Bragg. In the course of the evening she had to contend with petty jealousies between Nancy Leverage — Terry Reis, and Lorry Fuller — Nyla Haines,- and be- tween Jocko Guthrie — Thomas Veitch, and Andy Full- bright — Richard Wareing -t- the romantic advances made by Mr. Norman Carter — Frank Patalano — the shooting of Jocko Guthrie by Buck O'OHara — Paul Wasklewicz — the arrival of a famous actress from New York, Kyle Roberts — Lettie Usher, who put de- lusions of grandeur into many of the cast — and the play books being stolen by Nancy Leverage, who was pushed toward success too forcibly by her father, Mr. Leverage — James O'Leary. Much of the comedy was in the hands of Milt Sand- ers — Leonard McAuliffe, a fun loving boy who was fond of practical jokes, but nevertheless liked by most everybody. Others in the cast were Elsie Hunter, Sylvia Moore, Janet Young, and Joan White, played by Patricia Con- nelly, Elizabeth McDonald, Virginia Zielinski, and Pam- ela Lucy, in that order. Lighting and scenery was handled by James Bugbee, Frank Chamberland, and Jim Hall. The play was well received by the townspeople, and after the curtain call Paul Wasklewicz and Leonard McAuliffe presented Miss Brown a bouquet of flowers. 98 I English teacher who is carrying Nancy Belknap in his arms.

JUNIOR PROM BELOW: Mr. and Mrs. Witt greet Sally Brodine as couples move through the receiving line. The hostesses at the dance were Sandra Manning, Ruth Brandon, Elizabeth Coyne, Patricia Kent, Jeanette Nooks, and Ruby Haley. This imaginative centerpiece lent atmos- phere to the most successful dance in the history of the school. For their first formal dance the class of 1959 chose a Hawaiian theme. On April 11, 1958, a record breaking dance crowd was transported to the mystical, tropical island of Hawaii for a Hawaiian Holiday. Beautiful murals showing the sea covered the gym walls, making the room truly seem an is- land. Tables were scattered cabaret style among the palm trees loaded with balloon coconuts. At one end of the room was a bamboo hut housing the Chuck Bruce Orchestra from which came many strains of dance music. In the center of the room was a sandy island, with a lone palm tree and a marooned Hawaiian girl surrounded by many delicate flowers and beauti- ful shells. Moonlight appeared to shine directly onto this island while the rest of the room remained in the comparative darkness of a tropical night. The alert waiters were dressed in cool Hawaiian apparel topped off with a lei or two and a beachcomber hat. As the couples left, they clutched in their hands their personalized co- conuts and colorful leis. In their minds will remain happy memories of their Hawaiian Holiday. 100 SENIOR HOP Approximately one hundred students danced in the at- mosphere of Twilight Time, as the class of 1959 put on the final formal of their Junior year. White gates, flanked by flowered bushes and budding trees were the background for slated stone walks and sparkling bird baths. Green shrubbery surrounded a love-seat and small wishing pond, which, as the evening wore on, instead of filling with pennies, filled with flash bulbs from camera fiends. Multi-colored streamers hanging from the ceiling made for a lovely sum- mer evening, and when a couple of the gentlemen showed up in red dinner jackets it added just the right touch. The familiar music of Allan Kendall helped set the mood for the fifty thrilled couples who joined the going-away dance for the Seniors. Gay couples enjoying the cabaret style were served appetizing beverages and potato chips by attentive waiters. The members of the receiving line warmly greeted couples as they came, and, as the couples left, the Seniors reflected that this was their last formal dance.

CLASS FRIDAY NIGHT DANCES A Good Year” The underclassmen, as usual, undertook the earning of money through sponsoring Friday night dances during the fall and early winter. This year the Juniors had the first dance, Autumn Leaves, on October 3, 1958. Following their autumn theme, they suspended many waxed leaves from the ceil- ing as well as three giant paper leaves and papier m£ich£ acorns. Music was provided by the swing band. Two weeks after the Junior dance, the Sophomores sponsored Hideaway Hop which netted more money than any of the other dances did. Decorations were all in the form of records, both real and paper. Records were also given away. Winter Wonderland, sponsored later in the season by the Freshman class, as its first dance, had Mr. Carl Hill of Brattleboro for disc jockey. Christmas decorations were used, including a snowy Christmas tree and numer- ous wreaths. The School State Steering Committee presented as the final event of School State, the Governor's Ball on the evening of the Inaugural ceremonies. The swing band pro- vided music for this free event for school state citizens and Secretary of State Donna Patch, newly-elected. Gov- ernor Jim Bigelow led the Grand March.

A few minutes later the line became so twisted that no one knew where he was going. BOOSTERS Bellows Falls Times Gay's Express E. L. Walker Insurance Agency Inc.
