In presenting to you this yearbook we have tried to exemplify the day-to-day life at Bel- lows Falls High School. In the informal pictures scattered throughout the book, we hope that school life is represented as you remember it. In the formal pictures and group pictures we hope that you will be re- minded of the many activities in which you participated. The Class of 1960 is happy to present this record of Bellows Falls High School for 1959-1960 to you. 2 9 F AC U LT Y i SCHOOL BOARD This year, for the first time, the School Board of the town of Rockingham has consisted of five mem- bers instead of the usual three. The present mem- bers are John Fletcher, John Porter, William Hen- nessey, Rev. Robert Kerr, and John Wisell. These men devote a greal deal of their time to their duties of fashioning a healthy philosophy for the school,- developing a sound school policy,- selecting the ad- ministrators and teachers for the school system ac- cording to the educational needs of the community; working to improve the physical conditions of the school; furnishing finances,- and informing the public of the condition, the need, and the value of public education. The Board strongly recognizes the importance of staff improvement and encourages extension courses and workshops by financing a part of a teacher's tuition at one of these schools. Also this year the Board has employed a remedial reading teacher to aid in solving the reading difficulties of the younger students. Along this line the Board has approved hiring a speech therapist to work within other areas of the schools. This year they approved the addition of a Latin III class and recognized the demand for a French III class for next year. In the area of physical improvements, the Board purchased glass backboards for the gym, approved the black topping of the parking area in the rear of the high school, and approved the plan for re- viewing the ventillating system in the high school. Already a fire detection system has been installed in the elementary schools in Saxtons River and Bel- lows Falls,- the Board studied this problem and made the decision to install the system in the high school. The development of the athletic fields is still a major concern of the School Board, and now the new fields are nearing completition. In future years these fields will provide a fine recreation area as well as foot- ball and baseball playing fields. tA • 4 Superintendent Hilton Holland Tufts University, B.S.

With the help of juniors and seniors she takes messages, gives lunch tickets, offers timely ad- vice to anyone in need, types the closing re- port, and, incidentally, is secretary to Principal Davis. Meanwhile, deep in the inner office, Mrs. Butler and Mrs. Hammond type out the vital statistics of the school — state reports, attend- ance records, payrolls — and correspondence and bookkeeping of every type.

Dispenser of medicants for miscellaneous ail- ments . . . gives freely of her professional skills . . . interests young girls in nursing through FNA 14 STAFF Part of the preparation of the noon-time lunch involves wielding of giant pots and pans by Mrs. MacPhee and Mrs. Gray. Within their cluttered retreat Dan Brown and Bob Trombley take time out to catch up on the latest sports. From the combined efforts of the late night plan- ning of menus in the home economics room and the bustling early morning preparations in the cafeteria, come the wholesome meals served each and every day by our capable dietary staff to over five hun- dred students. Our staff, however, includes not only two professionals and their excellent guidance, but also a host of students who gather daily to prepare and serve the food and to clean up after each bout with the latest cafeteria line. Our truiry cleaning brigade fall into formation with their weap- ons raised. Left to right are Phil Atwood, Dick Kilburn, Lin Mel- lish, Steve Dana and Harlan Rounds. 15 The custodial system at the high school is an ef- ficient functioning organ, comprised largely of stu- dents, and co-ordinated under the competent guid- ance of a learned gentleman in shirt sleeves, Dan Brown. For thirty years Dan Brown and — for the last ten years also — Bob Trombley have, winter and summer, opened the school doors each morning at 6:45 A.M. and closed them again at 10:00 P.M. Be- tween the boundary of those hours a thousand-and- one tasks of both major and minor importance are performed: sweeping, scrubbing, waxing, sealing, varnishing, painting, mowing, shoveling, glass setting, heating, ventilating, plumbing, and even interior decorating. Truly it is an effective group that keep: our school in its present impeccable condition. The Githens twins confirm an important point in their U.S. History class. Oblivious of the clutter of the publica- tions room. Miss O'Brien, speech thera- pist, and her pupil work out a problem together. Late afternoon sun lingers over an old stairway. Mr. Tremblay leaves his class for a brief pause in Dan Brown's inner sanctum. 16 Class Officers Vice President, Patrick Readon; Secretary, Suzanne Thrasher,- Treasurer, Joan Wisell; President, James Bigelow.

Upon them were placed new responsibilities. The production of the Hi! Schooler, the presenta- tion of the first informal dance. Treasure Hop, and the giving of the two formal dances were the ma- jor undertakings of the class as a whole. That year too, other changes were being manifested. The individual undertook, for perhaps the first time in his life, to study and evaluate himself objec- tively. Through numerous I.Q. tests, aptitude tests, and personal preference tests, personalities were formed — personalities aware of themselves and their obligations as the new seniors!

Taking their courage in hand, they went on to prove themselves in Play-Nite, Latin Club, and various other activi- ties. Junior Varsity teams gave an opportunity to the more athletically inclined to show their prowess in the field of sports. Earlier in the year, class rings played an important part in class meetings. The idea of having standardized rings was thoroughly discussed before finally reaching a decision. With this behind them, the Sophomores went on to plan their social season. February, the month of their first dance, saw the Sophomores in a frenzy to make it a success. Last but not least, they had a few golden opportunities to look back con- descendingly and with fond recollection on the bewildered Freshmen. S.A.B.: Dorine Edson, John Capron. FRONT ROW: J.

They come from six schools to take their place amidst the confident upper-classmen, there to make a place for themselves until they too become known, not for their outlandishness, but for their distinctive contributions to the school and to the student body. For the first few weeks they are lost in a maze of life completely foreign to that which they have previously known. Slowly but inevitably they move out of their cliques and their con- fusion. They organize — choosing their leaders, laying re- sponsibility on their followers. They attend the Freshman Reception,- they present the Frosty Frolic,- they sell sub- scriptions in the Curtis campaign,- they take mid-years and finals. Then on a sultry June day, they burst forth from the school as sophomores. Nancy Smith, Betty Whitcomb. SAB FRONT ROW: E. Riendeau, L. Kenyon, G. Benware, J. Duval, J. Masure, M. Prouty, S. Rees, D.

Quickly adjusting to the new environment, they entered into school life with great enthusiasm. Tolerantly looked on by Senior High and eighth grade alike, the seventh grad- ers diligently presented, by homerooms, their first in a long line of assemblies. These programs help them to overcome their self-consciousness at performing before large groups and also prepare them, in part, for their ac- tive lives as members of the Senior High. Generally thought to lead a life untouched by excitement the seventh graders, in reality, move in the bright and stimulating surroundings which make up high school life.

The course seeks to instill within the mind of each student the valuable habit of logical, organized thinking, of intelligent amassing of information, and of comprehending and evaluating ac- cording to strict critical standards. It seeks to stimulate each mind to original and forceful expression. It en- courages the individual to read for pleasure and for the appreciation of social forces and social institutions. To achieve these goals, it teaches grammar, vocabulary, creative and practical writing, exposition, oratory, de- bating, dramatization, publications, and great litera- ture of America and Great Britain. Mr. Jillson's Freshman English class listens intently to instrue- tions on the correct use of the comma in series. Mr. McAuliffe points out that it ain't ain't grammatically correct.' FOREIGN LANGUAGES Latin, one of the two foreign languages taught in the school and previously offered for two years only, has been expanded to include a third year. The program in these three years covers a broad area, ranging from the basic grammar and elementary stories of the first year to the complex construction of Caesar's sentences and strategies in the second year, to acquaintance with the aesthetic qualities of Roman culture. Between rang- ings the course finds time to spread among its followers material on classical mythology, and Roman life and lives. Latin provides the student not only with the knowl- edge of a foreign language but also with a sound un- derstanding of principles of English grammar, certain desirable habits and ideals, and a deeper appreciation of current social and political problems. French, the other foreign language offered, is thus far available for two years only. However within these two years students are encouraged to work as fast and as diligently as possible with the result that somewhat more than a two year knowledge is obtained. Recently, in addition to regular grammar drills, translation, out- side reading, composition, and French history and cus- toms, particular stress has been placed upon conver- sational French and a great deal of time is spent on extemporaneous speaking and concentrated listening. From time to time during the year, natives of France have appeared before the class bringing with them the first hand knowledge of and experience from their own country. This year the tape recorder has become a boon to French students. Here Nancy Potter is trying out her best pronunciation. 59 SOCIAL SCIENCE This closs happily watches Mr. Nichols as he firmly points out a line that was in the book. Social Science introduces the students to various problems of social living. This year, in addition to the regular course, a four week orientation period has been introduced. In this way freshmen easily become familiarized with the building. World History discusses in some length the great civiliza- tions of the world. Students and teachers alike often delight in bringing to class various relics illustrating what is being studied at the time. United States History follows the progress of America from Pioneer days to the present day. Through a series of maps and charts it presents to the students a geographical as well as an economic picture. The aim of Modern History is to impress students with their responsibilities of world citizens. Individual reports followed by lively discussions are the order of the day. Through the course of the year, the students trace the rise of democracy from its earliest beginnings to the present Mrs. Toomey works within one of the small groups into which her class is divided. Notice: Everyone has his required note- book. 60 MATHEMATICS At some point in his high school career each student takes one kind of math or another. For freshmen and sophomores this may be Algebra I and II, general math, business arithmetic, or shop math; available to juniors and seniors are plane geometry, trig, solid geometry, review math, and mechanical drawing. All of the math courses attempt to teach not only facility with numbers, but also ability to reason and to think logically. In spite of the fact that each day sometimes seems more dis- couraging and confusing than the preceding day, there is always a day of revelation when everything falls into place. Whatever one learns in any of the math courses will be infinitely beneficial on the job or in the home. Well, I'm unconvincedl In fact we both arel Absorbed in their exacting work, a mechanical drawing class works quietly.

The science department of Bellows Falls High School is fast becoming more popular. Each student is now required to take biology during his sophomore year. He may then elect to follow up with other courses of scientific study during his remaining years at the school. In biology the student acquires a general knowledge about plant and animal life and human growth. There are opportunities to dissect small animals and fish in order to observe the body's functions. Just this year the biology department has purchased a large aquarium and a skeleton. Physics, usually taken in the junior year, is an introductory course to the study of transformations of matter and energy. During a year of study the subjects of electricity, sound, heat, and light are briefly delved into to give each student a general overall knowledge of many scientific sub- jects. Again a majority of the class period is taken up with experiments and demonstrations in order to present practical examples of these prob- lems. Apparently amused at some new idea this general science class wotches a demonstration. 62 COMMERCE In the silence of the room only the top-top-topping of the typewriters is heard as these advanced students puzzle over some difficult assignment in tabulation. In the school's business world, office prac- tice is designed to instruct students in meth- ods of indexing and filing and in the oper- ation of office machines, including the cal- culator, dictaphone, electric typewriter, and the adding machine. Stenograhy I instructs the student in the basic principles and outlines of the Gregg system of shorthand, while second year ste- nography is devoted mainly to the increas- ing of speed and accuracy in transcribing notes. Students, toward the end of the year, may attain speeds of 120-140 words per minute. Typing includes mastery of the keyboard, tabulation, development of speed and ac- curacy, and practice in typing legal docu- ments, stencils, and business letters and forms. 63 Speed and accuracy are acquired only after hours of concentrated practice.

Home Ec girls work together in preparing a batch of sugary raised doughnuts. Inserting the bobbin preparatory to sewing a fine seam is an exacting task. Shop and Home Economics, the main courses providing man- ual training, along with such supplementary courses as Gen- eral Science, Machines and Electricity, and Shop Math provide training for many non-college-prep students. Home Economics, as the name implies, is a course introducing students to the fundamentals of maintaining a home. The course covers areas of self-improvement, home improvement, child care, sewing and cooking. The first division of Shop training is Industrial Arts which presents opportunity for broad knowledge in many industrial fields. The other. Vocational Training, presenting opportunity for specialization in certain areas, is usually a prerequisite to future occupations. Working with both wood and metals, students are taught correct handling of machinery and safety measures. Both of these courses are so vital in present and future situations. MUSIC AND ART Slowly, painstakingly Polly Slobadnjak applies a spot of color to her picture. Miss Bedell accompanies a class of boys as they prepare for their annual Christmas concert. Mrs. Wetherell casts a watchful eye over the varied activi- ties of her group. Our school prides itself in the fine quality of contribu- tion which the Music and Art departments make to our school life. Both departments must work at the mercy of voluntary personnel and the calibre of concert which Miss Bedell presents at Christmas time with the Vocal Music de- partment is second to none in our area. Each year we applaud the work of Mrs. Wetherell in directing student artists in community competition at Halloween time and again in the spring when the art exhibition is presented for the community. Through both of these media fellow stu- dents learn of the special talents of their classmates, and teachers gain insights into the creative powers of many of their students, insights not apparent in other day-by-day classroom associations. Our music department invariably cops honors at the state and regional music festivals.

With the first few days of school, the Physi- cal Education courses once again went into full swing. Mr. Jones, Director of Girls' Sports, in- troduced a program of rigorous activities de- signed to build up the body and to increase skill in various games. Each of the girls enthu- siastically tried her hand at ping-pong, volley- ball, soccer, softball, and basketball. Not to be forgotten were the conditioning exercises which proved to be the bane of many a girls' life, leaving her with well exercised but sore and aching muscles. Throughout the gym there could also be heard the reverberating sound of marching feet as the entire class marked time. In Mr. Hadley's class the boys followed much the same pattern of activities. The great- est concentration, however, was in the fields of dodge-ball and basketball. Tavia Bradstreet, Concetto Boldasoro, and Sally Hall await the pass. 66 - ACTIVITIES SAMPLER Sampler Staff are S. Thrasher, C. Whitcomb, S. Brodine, M. Powers, J. Wasklewicz, P. Reardon, A. Dig- gins, and S. Frey. Early in the year the Senior Sampler staff began the seemingly endless duties which inevitably come with producing a school yearbook. The staff members be- gan their official duties with a general advertising drive to raise money to finance the book. The next assignment the staff met was an enjoyable stay in New York where they attended the Columbia Scholastic Press Yearbook Conference. Returning from the conference with a multitude of new ideas and full of high hopes, the staff prepared to begin their individual duties. But almost before they realized it, the first deadline was upon them. Finally, with a deep sigh of re- lief, the first fifteen pages were completed and sent on their way. Again the staff drew a deep breath and started to work on numerous picture schedules, write- ups, and layouts for the oncoming deadline. The headaches were unending and the worries many, but with one more section under their belts the staff began to breathe a little easier as they settled down for the final duties of production. At last all pictures were sorted and labeled, the write-ups completed, the captions written, the typing done, the copy proofread, and the final pages put to bed. The headaches were over and the worrying was done. Now all that remained was the impatient waiting for the arrival of the completed book on Class Day. 68 HI SCHOOLER The Hi Schooler Staff, under the editorship of Pauli Slobodnjak and her two able assistants, Gail Holland and Gloria Hakey, once again dusted off the presses and started rolling. After many conferences with Mr. McAuliffe, Faculty advisor, it was decided to change the format of the paper. Consequently, instead of being a current events or weekly newspaper, the Hi Schooler became a literary edition. One aid to the production of this paper, and welcomed by all, was the newly purchased mimeograph machine. This much appreciated device cut printing time almost in half and enabled the artists to employ assorted colors in their drawings. This year, as always, the usual finan- cial difficulties which beset every young, enterprising, non-profit organization had to be faced. To solve this problem, the staff initiated an exten- sive advertising campaign the success of which was evidenced by the increase in subscriptions. In addi- tion, they took on the job of printing and selling pro- grams at the home basketball games. As in past years, the entire Hi Schooler Staff put a great deal of time and energy into their somewhat unrewarding task. Yet all the work and worries were forgotten at the end of the year as the presses were covered and left to the hopeful oncoming staff. p clemens, D. Githens, J. Mercure, P. O'Hearne, S. Richards, J.

Organized the previous June, the new monitors began functioning at 8:37 on the first day of school. Newcomers were directed in the correct movement of traffic and seasoned offenders were duly pun- ished. Soon substitutes from the junior class were selected by Miss Santamaria. The purpose of the monitors is to control traffic during classes, and to supervise cafeteria periods. To the amazement of many school visitors, this is performed with efficiency and impartiality. From the visitor's viewpoint, B.F.H.S. has a unique traffic system, for it is controlled by the student body. Miss Santamaria always receives a few denials of misbehavior, accompanied by a plea for an acquit- tal. Most offenders, however, realize that the pun- ishment is not an injustice, but is deserved for the infraction of a rule or courtesy. Monitor officers look on gleefully as captain, J.

In the past few years the Student Advisory Board has been striving to regain the position of honor it formerly held within the school, and it was toward this end that all worked long and diligently. The SAB carried on in its usual capacity, providing the school with periodic assemblies of both an educational and entertaining nature: a concert pianist, a drama trio, an internationally known organist, and a guest speaker from Burdett College were only a few of the guests ap- pearing before the student body. In other areas, the SAB chartered two new clubs: the Math-Science Club and the Distributive Education Club of America (DECA Club); sponsored, under the excellent supervision of Mrs. Pollard, a benefit clothing drive; sold cokes at the home basketball games,- drew up tentative plans for secondary fire exits in collaboration with the Bellows Falls Fire Department; and sent ambassadors in the personages of Sandra Frey, Joan Wisell, James Bige- low, Peter Philbrook, and Mr. Richard Tremblay, faculty advisor, to the State Student Council Convention held in Hartford, Vermont. It was, to say the least, a busy and successful year,- and a step in the right direction of their goal. One of the largest groups in the school is the Athletic Asso- ciation, composed of all those students who participate in inter- scholastic activities, and who wish to support the school sports program and at the same time assure themselves of a less ex- pensive entrance into many activities both at this and other schools. The club as a whole had no official capacity ex- cept that of electing officers. The officers in turn sold AA tickets at the beginning of the year, organized the AA assembly in the fall, sold tickets at home basketball games in the winter, and set up the bus schedules which transport students to sectional tournament games and the games with our rival school. Spring- field. AA officers: J. Wisell, treasurer; James Bigelow, president; Suzanne Thrasher, secretary; Patrick Reardon, vice president. 71 LATIN CLUB Peter Philbrook, vice president; Jane Black, treasurer; Sandra Frey, secretary; Venus, goddess of love,- and Pat Reardon, president. This year the Latin Club again embarked on a long string of educa- tional and entertaining meetings and parties. In one of the first meet- ings the Club was addressed by Mr. Cintas, the Latin and French teacher at Vermont Academy. On the day of this meeting it was Vir- gil's birthday, and to keep in the spirit of things Mr. Cintas told the story of Virgil and other interesting facts about the early Romans. On the occasion of Christmas, the Club held a party in the school cafeteria. Food was donated by the members. The Planning Committee conducted a great variety of games and everyone had a fine time. Also, early in the fall the Club again sold Old Fashioned Butter Bits as an annual money making project. This candy which came in gayly decorated cans denoting the fall season was quickly disposed of and added much needed funds to the treasury. The greatest project of the Latin Club this year, as every year, was the annual Latin Club Banquet. This feast was held in the school cafe- teria, and all reclined on pillows and blankets as the Romans did. The members of the Club were waited upon by the younger members of the Latin Classes. After cena was completed all cleansed their fingers in au- thentic finger bowls. Then the group relaxed and were entertained by our school talent. The time at which this great festival took place was during the Ides of March. FRONT ROW: J. Wisell, M. Talbot, G. Holland, G. Harley, W. Zielinski, J. Black, P. Reardon, S. Frey, L. Edwards, N.

With the opening of school, our Glee Club once again organized, elected officers, and settled down to prepare for what promised to be a successful season. The forty- nine members which comprised the Club, carrying out the business at hand, impatiently awaited the announcement of the Representatives to attend the New England All State Festival. Later, the rapidly approaching Holiday Season brought added activity which culminated on De- cember 16, 1959. At this time the Glee Club, under the di- rection of Miss Bedell, presented their annual Christmas Concert. This year it was distinguished by three solos aptly performed by John Capron, John Foster, and Russell Cap- ron. Shortly after, the forty-nine members. Miss Bedell, and Carol Whitcomb, accompanist, travelled to Win- chester, New Hampshire to give a repeat performance which was televised Decmeber 23, 1959, over Channel 32. This marked the television debut of our Glee Club. The end of the Christmas Season gave everyone a short breathing period but not for long. Miss Bedell soon an- nounced plans for a Pops Concert to be given early in the spring. Eagerly looked forward to by the student body and faculty alike, this concert, as well as those that fol- lowed, were highly successful. 73 Outward poise, inward anxiety.

Miss Brown, in her usual competent manner, chose, conducted, and produced three one-act plays equal to the fine tradition always enjoyed at Bellows Falls High School. The night of October 29 found an excited audience, composed mainly of nervous parents eagerly waiting for the entrance of equally nervous sons and daughters. In a few moments everyone present was enjoying the outstanding performance of Sandra Hakey in Sorry, Wrong Number, a suspenseful drama concerning a bed-ridden woman who believes she is about to be murdered. The Pot Boiler, a farce on actors, actresses, and off-beat directors in general and Sun- day Costs five Pesos, a high powered comedy of Mexican life were also presented at this time. In two short hours all the time and work, the weeks of prep- aration were over, leaving John Capron as best actor in the winning play, The Pot Boiler, and Sandra Hakey as best actress in Sorry, Wrong Number. The Spotlight Club suggested that several medals of achievement, other than the annual dramatics award presented on Class Day, be awarded to deserving students in dramatics. It is hoped that a plan can be worked out and put into effect by next year so a greater num- ber of students will receive recognition for their efforts on the stage at B.F. 74 PLAYNIGHT Sorry, Wrong Number Cindy Hokey, os a neurotic invalid, tries desperately to save herself from an inevitable murder.

Early on cold fall mornings, marching cadences rang out over the playground as the band tuned up for its afternoon ap- pearance at the football game. Be it sunny or rainy, whenever the team appeared at Bellows Falls, so appeared the band. With the advent of winter, practice on more formal concert music was held in the school. Increasing their activities, band members continued their attempts to raise money for the uniform fund by sponsoring a successful food sale and by collecting the proceeds from the RPI Glee Club Concert. They also participated in an exchange concert with Chester, competed for the honor of attending the All State Music Festival, and benefited by the introduction of new instruments, risers, and music cabi- nets. The year was rapidly coming to a close as the band, weary but erect, marched in the Alumni Day Parade back to the high school to put away their instruments and uniforms for another year. 76 FRONT ROW: S.

The curtains were drawn; the auditorium was darkened; and then in the sudden glare of the house lights the strains of gay music danced out and over the still hushed audience. This appear- ance during the lulls of Play Night was the first official function of the Bellows Falls High School Orchestra. As the Orchestra proceeded with rehearsals, a more solid tone was evinced by the addition of two violins and a bass; a more professional ap- pearance was obtained by the addition of new risers; and a more varied program was produced by the mastery of a completely new repertoire which included symphonic, novelty, and popular music. Twice more during the year they appeared: at the Senior Play and at the Pops Concert. Fi- nally the year's activity was over and the Orches- tra ushered out the new Alumni to the ponderous, melancholy strains of Pomp and Circumstance. ORCHESTRA AND SWING BAND Following four sharp rhythmic taps on the drum rim, the assembled musicians took it from the top. The Swingband, composed of Senior Band members, was reading through the intro and two choruses of a new arrangement. These students play dance music for school and outside dances. Weekly rehearsals were held during the fall, but because of scheduling difficulties these were dis- continued. This year there was a noticeable change in the style of music presented. Formerly limited to play- ing standard popular tunes, they now experi- mented with the complex syncopated rhythm pat- terns of jazz. These special arrangements by Art Dedrick are designed to give variations of the theme, and to give a deeper tone. FRONT ROW: J. McCaffrey, B. Newell, A. Golec, D. Knowlton. SEC- OND ROW: D.

This year school spirit ran particularly high at both home and away games, as the student body rallied under the enthusiastic leadership of the cheerleaders. For better or for worse — and often times it was for the worse — cheerleaders and student body were right behind the teams, encouraging them on to their best efforts. The cheerleaders, however, found time to act in other capacities besides that of chief school noise- makers, and through benefit dances, parties, and other fund raising drives, managed to acquire not only sweaters for the fall football games, but also new uniforms for the winter basketball season. This year too. Bellows Falls was host to cheerleaders from over eight other schools, as they gathered at the annual Southern Vermont Cheerleaders Convention to MAJORETTES AND CHEERLEADERS Developing a number of unique routines, the majorettes have entertained at pep rallies and at football games. This year, during the first televising of the Alumni Parade, our majorettes made their television debut, as they proudly led the band through the streets of Bellows Falls. The regular 8 — Sandra Bain, Ida DiBernardo, Barbara Fair, Sandro Robinson, Ann Sackevich, Rolyn Wood, and Mary Ellen Trombley — along with the substitutes Joanne Trybulski and Joanne Duval acquired several new and dif- ferent routines from their capable leader, Trudy Halladay.

Under, the guidance of Mrs. Pollard, the officers — Mary Ellen Bixby, president; Hazel Fancy, secretary; and Joanne Musgrove, treasurer — managed to interest a few girls in joining, and gradually built up the mem- bership to about thirty students. One of the first projects of the club was to attend open house at Elliot Com- munity Hospital in Keene, New Hampshire. This pro- vided the opportunity of seeing what constitutes the curriculum of student nurse training. This year whenever the time allowed, the future Florence Nightingales held meetings which were presided over by the officers elected the previous year. A committee of four planned the meetings and arranged for such guest speakers as Mrs. Hanson, the physical therapist at our hospital. Her talk was quite interesting and by all means helpful, as several girls were seeking information in that field. Through the suggestions of Mrs. Pollard, the girls spent several weeks working at the Texas Nursing Home in order to gain valuable experience. Exclusively for the girls taking any of the homemaking courses, the Future Homemakers of America Club pro- vides an extension of the work carried on in class. The members, under the guidance of Mrs. Lois Kenney, convene twice a month during their regular class period. Though still in the embryo stage, the Club strives to embody in each member the quality of leadership and of service. In this way, the girls are encouraged to take a more active part in the prob- lems of their class, school, and community. FRONT ROW: Mrs. Kenney, L. Buzzed, L. Coates. T. Bradstreet, J. Trybulski, B.

Now, along with those senior members inducted in the spring of last year, the chapter enrollment numbered four- teen. Immediately the new members found them- selves engaged in taking tests for the National Honor Society Scholarships, planning for the ap- proaching induction banquet, and electing new officers. Then this fall, for the first time, the So- ciety members served as guides and aids at the annual open house at the High School. Banquet plans finally began to materialize as the final date was set. On the night of the banquet the big event was, of course, the pinning of new mem- bers, but also each member certainly enjoyed the program of films shown by a pioneer in the field of epic films, Mr. David Flaherty. Again in the spring a percentage of high rank- ing juniors was chosen by the faculty to become members of the Society, and at the traditional school assembly these students were inducted into the Jesse Judd Chapter of the National Honor So- ciety.

Each year by vote of both the class and the faculty, five girls and six boys are chosen to attend the annual session of Girls' and Boys' State, respectively. Four of the girls attended the Ver- mont session at Montpelier, Vermont, and five of the boys at- tended the Vermont session at Northfield, Vermont. The other boy and girl attended the New Hampshire session at Durham, New Hampshire, though at different times. For a week during the summer, under the leadership of the American Legion and its auxiliary, the students learn practically about the state government and its laws. Near the end of November, four members of the SAB attended the Vermont Student Council Association at Hartford, Vermont. On May 7,8, and 9, 1959, our two delegates, Carol Whitcomb and Patrick Reardon attended the Model UN. This annual as- sembly of students is sponsored by the Rotary in connection with the International Relations Club of Plymouth Teachers College. As representatives of Iraq, Carol and Pat took part in such dis- cussions as the admission of Red China to the UN, German Re- unification, space control, and disarmament. The students attending these various conventions profited by the new ideas and experiences. 81 SCHOOL STATE OFFICERS AND STEERING COMMITTEE School State Officers: FRONT ROW: Auditor of Ac- counts, E.

After many hours of arduous and painstaking preparations, Mr. Tremblay and members of his modern history classes were once agoin ready to assume the burden of being responsible for another School State. The bell had barely rung one day after school when throngs of students filled the corridor in front of Miss Santamaria's office, all vieing for a chance to snatch a petition and get it filled with names. For some, in- volved in running for a state office, this meant about 25 names,- for those aspiring after town offices it meant perhaps only two. Nevertheless, the early bird got the proverbial worm in the form of a completed petition while their tardier comrades were soon eliminated. Several mornings during homeroom period, sounds of cheering and progressive party members rang through the halls from the party caucuses. Soon the walls bloomed with well designed posters, each one hoping to lure voters to its candi- date or party. The day of voting drew near and brought with it that tense but highly important assembly when each candidate gave prepared speeches to the student body praising the honor of his party and the integrity of himself. Suspense mounted in the primaries and culminated in the finals. All that re- mained then was for the school to breathe a happy sigh of re- lief and to congratulate and initiate the victors.

This year, under the guidance of Mr. Paul Davis and Mr. Page Riley, faculty advisors, the Math Science Club has taken on new impetus. Much of the new interest shown in the Club by students is due to the fact that it has now been officially recognized by the school. The principal aim of this organization is to encourage stu- dents to participate in the annual State Science Fair. Membership is based strictly on the interest of the indi- vidual and consequently is not limited to any particular class. Twice a month, the members which number about forty, hold meetings presided over by Douglas Knowlton, president, to discuss future projects. Their main objective this year is to gain a knowledge of the electrical equip- ment purchased by the school for the electronics class. At each meeting it has become a practice to have one member give a report on either his hobby or the project which he is then working on. As a result, interest in vari- ous fields has been stimulated in both students and ad- visors. DECA CLUB Under the supervision of Mr. Allison Gleason, Bellows Falls High School is now a charter member of the Dis- tributive Education Club of America. DECA is organized for the purpose of developing within a student a better understanding of the business world so as to allow for fair practice in business dealings and mature thinking with respect to our free, competitive enterprise system. This organization is aimed at instilling within each of its members a sense of leadership and re- sponsibility in the business world. DECA also provides opportunities for intelligent career choice in the distribu- tive field. Since the knowledge acquired in the DECA Club is an important part of one's business education, anyone may join, although most candidates are chosen from Mr. Gleason's Sales Classes. FRONT ROW: Y.

Wrobel, are ready to serve hungry people. During the school year, one of the most essential yet most often taken for granted jobs is that of the cafeteria help. Seldom did we realize or appreciate the amount of activity that went on in the cafeteria during an average school day. Students gave freely of their time and energy to accomplish what were con- sidered by many to be unpleasant and tedious tasks. Washing dishes, selling milk, cashiering, and the numerous other chores that accompany the preparation of any meal were shared equally by all classes, and through the generous efforts of cer- tain faculty members and students an integral and vital function of the school was carried on.

Though the desire to win was there, the initiative wasn't. The only thing that saved the season was the ever burning Kiniry Spark. The team was expected to win at least half of the games, and one more touchdown would have done the trick on several occasions. The great games, how- ever, were played individually. At Windsor a guard would play well; at Brattleboro an end would play well; at Springfield a back would excel, but they could not work as a unit in any one game. The team was satis- fied to play a fair game and lose by one touchdown rather than to push a little harder and pull the close ones through. However, they did end the season with a win. A new game was scheduled this year with Wil- liamstown, Massachusetts whom Bellows Falls used to play years ago. The long trip to Williamstown was not in vain, for in this last endeavor the team managed to emerge victorious. 87 BASKETBALL The Bellows Falls basketball team turned in a good season's work this year. Although the Terriers started off slowly, losing a few pre- season games which put them in a less favorable position when it came to league standings, they had little trouble, except at the Windsor, Braftleboro, and Springfield games, in finding their way to the top. Several times during the close games when the team had a chance to surge ahead to victory, they just couldn't seem to find that winning spurt. When tournament time rolled around, Bellows Falls found itself tied with three other teams — Brattleboro, Springfield, and Braftleboro — for first place in the Southern Vermont League. However, because of the poor pre-season showing, it was necessary for the Terriers to have a play-off with Rutland at Woodstock. The Terriers steamed through the play-off and then had a close one in the first official game in the tournament, beating Brattleboro, 65—62, after the Colonels had beaten them in three regular season games. Luck was against the team in the second tourney game; Springfield emerged victorious . . . by one point! with a score of 53—52. Thus for the eighth time in tour- nament history, Bellows Falls was only good enough to take the runner- up cup. The Junior Varsity had one of their greatest seasons in years. Out of the 19 games they played they came out with 16 wins and 3 losses. The J.V.'s averaged about 43 points a game, more than any other team in the circuit. The top players this year were Hardy Merrill, Jim Bushway, Rodney Stewart, Richard Bashaw, Daniel Moynihan, and Jim Barry. Eddie Goutas, way up for a jump ball. Varsity Basketball: FRONT ROW: H.

The only de- feat was to the top-seeded St. Albans team. The Varsity girls have yet to beat St. Albans, their arch rivals. The J.V.'s, concentrating more on gaining experience than on individual accomplish- ment, had a slightly less successful record as they finished with 6 wins and 3 losses.

Jim was ably assisted by Hardy Merrill, assistant director, Phyllis Whitcomb, secetary, and Joan Wisell, treasurer. Top seeded St. Charles, under Coach Lover Dex- ter, took top honors over second seeded North Wal- pole, coached by Joe Dube, with a 37—24 score. The big surprise of the tournament was the fifth seeded Bellows Falls team topping the third seeded Kurn Hattin, team, 36—29, for Consolation. Selected for the all-tourney team were Jay Buck- ley of St. Charles, Harold Bushway of North Wal- pole, Eric Keefe of Bellows Falls, and Ray Donley and Earl Hopkins of Kurn Hattin. Most valuable player of the tourney was Jay Buck- ley of St. Charles. A gleeful St. Charles team as the buzzer sounds on their victory. Tournament Staff: FRONT ROW — P. Whitcomb, S. Thrasher, J.

The cindermen of Larry Hadley fared reasonably well in 1959. In six regular season meets, BF took two firsts, two seconds, and a third. Richie Rhone scored 8 points in the district meet. The team was among the tops in scoring in the Southern Vermont meet where they took two firsts: Joe Wettach in the high hurdles and Ed Goutas in the shot put. In the State meet Ed Goutas took our only 1st as he set a BFHS record with a toss of 48' 4% in the shot put. Richie Rhone placed 3rd in the 220 and 4th in the 100, while Mike Griffin had a 3rd in the javelin and Goutas a 4th in the discus. Eligible for the New Eng- land meet, having placed in the state meet, Goutas and Rhone made the trip to Boston, but neither placed. Meanwhile the Terriers' baseball team, playing without a home field, compiled a poor 1 win and 7 loss record. The one bright spot was the Springfield game. In that game Mike Griffin turned in 13 strike outs and some tremendous clutch pitching. The game was won in the 7th inning by Ed Goutas' 490 foot home run. Jim Bigelow and Poodie Walsh led the team in hitting with a .300 plus average. D. Moynihan, D. Miller, A. Barren, J. Hennessey, Mr. Johnson. Our predominately freshman tennis team had a 1 win and 5 loss record for 1959. The one victory was over KTC's JV's. The only upperclassman in the squad was Stanley Marino, a senior. He lost just once, in a gruelling 21 2 hour set with the two best players in the state. Marino along with frosh Richie Bashaw, undefeated during the regular season, rep- resented BF at the Tri-Town all star match at VA. The Terrierettes wound up the 1959 softball sea- son with 8 wins and 1 loss record. The game with Windsor proved to be quite a struggle and the girls suffered their only defeat with a score of 11 — 10. The Terrierettes scored 218 runs to their opponents7 74. Softball: FRONT ROW: M.

February 19 marked the debut of many of our Seniors as they stepped before the spotlight to present the three-act comedy, Henrietta the Eighth, by Kurtz Gordon. Under the direction of Miss Brown, the Senior Play, though destined for only a one night run, was a memorable performance. In one of the principal roles, Sandra Frey as Henrietta Car- ver portrayed the efficient and understanding eighth secre- tary of Rebecca Musgrove, Mrs. Sutton, a woman who neg- lected her family for her own personal ambitions. Mrs. Sut- ton's children, Wilma (Suzanne Thrasher) and Carol (Phyllis Whitcomb), excelled in their portrayals of selfish, self-cen- tered young girls. The older sister, Adele (Carol Jones), and Jimmy Howard (Edward Goutas), provided the young love in- terest. Annabelle Mason (Alice Diggins) portrayed the double- dealing foe of Mrs. Sutton, and Ray Taylor (Patrick Reardon) played the sophisticated fiance of Henrietta. The numerous other roles were ably filled by Sally Brown, Susan Spurr, Sara Brodine, John Toomey, Howard Rice, John Foster, Robert Clough, David Cobb, Mary Ellen Bixby, Bruce Fontaine, El- len Manning, and Robert Collins. The outstanding feature of the stage setting was the picture of a magnificent white cat whose blue and green almond shaped eyes gazed intently at the audience. As the final curtain rang down and the house lights flashed on, Sandra Frey presented to Miss Brown a gift of apprecia- tion in behalf of the cast. 96 After the ball is over Sally Brown, os the long suffering maid, contemplates the disaster area. A Mutuo I Admiration Society seems indicated os Carol Jones and Edward Goutas prepare to do the town. Robert Clough is up in the air over rock and roll, as interpreted by his partner, John Foster. Sandra Frey bites the hand that soon will feed her as she struggles with Patrick Reardon, her fiance, to regain possession of her engagement ring. Suzanne Thrasher ties John Toomey in knots over another of his obnoxious ties. H. M. S. PINAFORE Robert Clough, John Capron, Pat Buzzell, and James O'Leary listen to the greeting offered them aboard the H.M.S. Pinafore. The heavy velvet curtains swished back out of sight, revealing the deck of a ship an- chored in the harbor on which nearly a score of hearty limeys were busily swabbing the deck to the lusty tune of We Sail the Ocean Blue. Thus with these familiar opening strains Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore was once again launched. The principals and stage chorus for the operetta were members of the Special Glee Club, while the off-stage chorus consisted of the members of the music classes. Among the principals were James O'Leary, a rotund Rt. Hon. Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B; John Capron, a dapper and pompous Capt. Corcoran,- Bea Tenney, a simpering Buttercup; Ruth Boynton, a blush- ing Josephine, and Jerry Rousseau, a boatswain. All together about two hundred peo- ple, including the Glee Club and the music classes, art and shop classes, helped to make the evening a huge success. 98 ROMAN BANQUET With slow, dignified steps, toga-clad guests entered the banquet hall in ceremonial procession headed by a solemn Caesar, Paul Naski. Flickering candlelight, freshly strewn flowers, and dinner music disguised the usual cafeteria scene as guests reclined on mats for the annual Latin feast. After Caesar had offered the invocation and the sacrifice to the gods, barefoot slaves in tunics entered bearing trays laden with stuffed eggs, celery, sardines, and olives. The second course consisted of spareribs, beans, and hard rolls and honey. The dessert followed: on platters were sweet cakes and in baskets were fruits spilling over the edges. Between courses slaves moved to and fro filling the wine cups and passing the scented flngerbowls. Reclining luxuriously on blankets and stuffed cushions after the feast, the guests were entertained by William Toomey and Allen Barrett who staged a mock combat; eight female slaves who performed a slave dance; Pat Reardon who gave a humorous monologue on Romeo and Juliet; and Mary Ellen Bixby who performed several solos. The guests closed the evening with the singing of Semper. Gail Harley serves wine to Carol Whitcomb as Pat Reardon, Sue Thrasher, and Mary Ellen Bixby look on. 99 JUNIOR PROM Alice Diggins ond Pat Reardon pass through the receiving line to the Junior Prom. For their first formal dance the class of 1960 chose a Japanese theme. This unusual idea allowed the class artists quite a bit of freedom and originality in the decorations, since Bellows Falls High School has not recently seen an oriental theme for a dance. The exotic posters advertising Tanabata accounted for the unusually large attendance on April 3. Upon entering the gym, one's eyes fell immediately on the graceful lines of an azure Japanese bridge. The slim oriental figure of a Geisha girl, draped in a blue and silver kimono, stood on the grass by the stream flowing under the bridge. Just past the bridge Mt. Fuji, in the form of purple and white paper napkins, towered high over the swirling dancers. Mag- nificant side panels silhouetted the Japanese countryside, featuring wierdly formed trees and pagodas, and Japanese figures placed against a golden sun- set. To add a touch of gaiety to the beauty of the evening, red, light blue, and white hanging banners with oriental writings covered the entire length of the wail at the chaperones' end of the gym. The chaperones, by the way, enjoyed a comfortable evening in basket chairs of various shapes and sizes. The host- esses, dressed in authentic Japanese kimonos, added a final perfect touch as they greeted each guest with a long, low bow. Later in the evening they re- clined upon the flower laden grass near the bridge. A few short hours later, after months and months of preparation and plan- ning, Tanabata was over. Yet it still lingers on in the minds of all those who attended this most perfect of all evenings. Three beautiful geisha girls — Donna Patch, Mae Chaisson, ond Sandy Bain — gather on the grass under the Bridge of Love. A most obedient and humble servant, Howie Rice, waits on Ann Lucia, Linda Chamberlin, Malcolm Kiniry, and Jerry Rousseau. SENIOR HOP On a starry, summer evening in early June, June 5th to be exact, approximately fifty southern belles and their dashing, gallant beaux boarded the Show- boat for a lovely, gay, and exciting moonlight cruise down the mighty Mississippi. As the evening progressed they floated by huge southern plantations, stark white against the dark sky and the drooping Spanish moss. Here and there broad pastures, brown shacks, and old boats rested, all passive and still in the moonlight. While the faculty took their leisure in gaily colored deck chairs, the couples sat at tables arranged on the deck or promenaded around the white cabin house, which was complete with portholes, brass trimmings, brilliantly colored pennants flapping in the night breezes, and paddle wheel. Occasionally another great river boat could be seen looming against the hazy horizon or rounding the bend in the river. At the magic hour of midnight, Allan Kendall and his band blew the final note, the Showboat gently bumped the wharf and the happy couples disem- barked from their enchanted ride. Aboard The Showboat, dancers spin and whirl over the deck. Don Sawyer, Wayne Mellish, Helen Gallagher, Frank Patalano, Nyla Haines, and Nancy Belknap relax during the intermission. An efficient waiter, John Foster, awaits the pleasure of Lettie Usher, Paul Naski, JoAnne McCaffery, and Paul Savoie. 101 SENIOR SEMI-FORMAL The first rush of excited couples pass through the formal receiving line, the start of the Senior Semi-Formal. This year, owing to a not very successful football season, the annual Football Semi-Formal became simply the Senior Semi- Formal and had as its theme Colorama. The sides of the gymnasium were covered with bold, modern designs. Of particu- lar interest were two singular appearing footsteps painted by Mr. O'Keefe in a fit of creative passion. At the head of the dance floor, a huge canvas of about 11x11 flaunted a Picasso reproduction. Throwing dizzying spots of color over the whole mad scene was a large ball covered with fragments of mirrors from which reflected the green, yellow, red, and blue beams from the surrounding spotlights. The Top Hatters provided the dancers with the carefree music of a nature not usually found at the school dances. This, the weird and startling decorations, the whirling spots of light, and the large attendance gave all those who attended a gay and certainly unusual evening. Sandy Frey and Pat Buckley dance under the bizarre Picasso reproduction. Jerry Rousseau, Pat Lucy, Jimmy Barry, John Belknap, Royln Wood, and Sally Cook, in search of a waiter, seem to be enjoying the evening. FRIDAY NIGHT DANCES Nancy Potter is a gleeful accomplice as Joan Carter feeds Malcolm Potter goldfish at the Freshman Reception. After a harrowing day of donning vegetable corsages, clashing plaid and stripe combinations, and green F's, the freshmen were guests of the seniors at the annual Fresh- man Reception. Music was provided by the Swing Band. In the darkened auditorium, as guests could faintly hear the funeral march and taps, a candle-bearing ghoul sub- jected the Frosh to swallowing egg laying pills, eating goldfish (a peach) blindfolded, and devouring a pizza. There were only two class dances in the fall. The juniors sponsored the Treasure Hop. Murals depicting pirates and ships decorated the walls, while a jeweled treasure chest sparkled from the center of the dance floor. Early in December the freshmen first experienced the problems and frustrations of sponsoring a dance. Frosty Frolic was the theme. A large snowman and snowflaked streamers decorated the gym. Three record hops were held, two of which were ex- clusively for the Junior High. The other was sponsored by the cheerleaders for the benefit of the uniform fund. Dur- ing the intermission students participated in a pep rally for the game on Saturday. Jim Wasklewicz and Jim Bigelow congratulate each other as d j's of the night at the Cheerleaders' Dance. Fran Coyne tries to persuade Homer Adorns to jump over them at the Freshman Reception. 103 JESSE A JUDD OUR BELOVED TEACHER 1807 - J943 PRESENTED 3' CLAM OK 1027 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This page in The Sampler would never have been reached without assistance from many people, directly or indirectly.
