We have found in Mr. Golding a model of loyalty and devotion to the highest principles for which the teaching profession stands. He has been our wise counselor and has provided us with the companionship that makes us sincerely want to call our teacher a friend. 2 IN MEMORIAM RICHARD HITCHCOCK Graduation will not bo complete for many of us: Richard will not be with us physically to share our common feeling of accomplishment, our christen- ing into the world . . . We lived, laughed, and quarreled with him, and we learned to appreciate the individualism that made him a friend and person of value. He worked with us, united in spirit, toward the materialization of hopes and high ideals. But a fatal accident was to end the dreams of some- one so full of life. We, his classmates, realize that Richard's life was not in vain, for his remembrance will always be an integral part of our fondest memories. 3 PROLOGUE All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts . . . One's high school years constitute the acts of only one play on this vast stage. The player enters as an understudy striving to appear on stage; he exits as best actor, competent enough to appear on a larger stage. Secondary education is a play in life in which one first has an opportun- ity to play any part. He is the player in search of an education not only academically but also socially. The writing of plays is a great matter, forming as it does the minds and affections of men in such sort that whatsoever they see done in show on the stage, they will presently be doing in earnest in the world, which is a larger stage. This play determines the future of each and every player. That which he acquires now will designate whether he play next the part of the sage or the fool. We, acting as playwrights, will present to you — our audience — our play at Bellows Falls High School. As our players compete individually for best actor awards, our play strives as a whole for a first-position rating. Let the audience look to their eyes, For “give me audience.” 4 PRODUCERS AND DIRECTORS The direction under which a player rehearses today will determine his grandeur to-morrow . . . SCHOOL BOARD The school board in the town of Rockingham has five members. They are John Fletcher, John Porter, William Hennessey, John Wiseil, and Reverend Robert Kerr. In addition to carrying out the everyday curriculum, length of school term, and manner of instruction, the school board this year installed a new fire detection system in the High School. Another phase of fire protection for the school was the addition of registers in the cafeteria and shop. A damper to control the flow of cold air from the outside was also added. Another matter decided on by the school board was the purchase of a foreign language laboratory which includes a console and speakers tor twenty students. A partition was constructed between rooms 314 and 315 for the purpose of creating a new room, 315, which could be used in the future as an advanced science laboratory. When the clocks in the old part of the school failed, a new system of clocks was installed. The school board is also furthering the continuous growth of the new athletic field which was used for the first time this year. 6 HILTON C. HOLLAND Superintendent of Schools Tufts University, B.S.

This, their third year of contribution to our school, may well be their most productive year, for it is dur- ing this year that they will assume the responsi- bility of putting on both of the important for- mal dances: the Junior Prom and the Senior Hop. They also play a large part in school or- ganizations. They are ably represented in such areas as athletics, (basketball, baseball, foot- ball, etc.). Also they have put forth a large rep- resentation in Band, Orchestra, and Glee Club. The Juniors will also send this year a few of their top scholars to the National Honor Society. This year the Junior Monitors are more numer- ous than in past years. The Juniors this year are enjoying their last carefree year. Their Senior year will be filled with the responsibility of choosing an occupa- tion or an advanced school of some type. Many of them will take College Boards in December or January and then go through the suspenseful period of waiting before they are accepted at the advanced school of their choice. Next year they can look back on the trials and tribula- tions of their first three years with fond memo- ries. FRONT ROW: V. Lawrence, K. Justus, D. Garland, C. Spinelli, G. Harley, C. Wright. P.

SAB: Rodney Stewart, Mary Lucia When they returned to Bellows Falls High School in September the new Sophomores ar- rived as confident Sophomores. They were up- perclassmen now and ready to assume their place as leaders in the school. For the first time they were able to partici- pate in Play-Nite and those who had taken a year of Latin were able to join the Latin Club. Those who were athletically inclined partici- pated in J. V. sports events. The Sophomores also presented a class dance and worked hard to make it a success. During this year the members of the class also purchased school rings with their hard- earned money. They also smiled a bit at the antics of the Freshman class and remembered fondly their activities as Freshmen. 53 FRESHMEN CLASS OFFICERS William Gallagher, Treasurer; Jane McAlea, Secretary; Jay Buckley, President; Terence Griffin, Vice President.

They came to Bellows Falls from six schools in the area. During the first few days these freshmen were busy trying to find class- rooms and making new friends. In October the newcomers were subjected to an initiation by the Senior Class. Soon after this they began to organize and take their place in the ordinary school life. After choosing their leaders the freshman class presented their first dance, an unusual one, a Sock Hop. They were also busy selling subscriptions for the Cur- tis Campaign and suffering through the mid- year and final exams. In June on Class Day the freshmen take the seats of the sophomores for the first time. Next September they will again enter and fill the halls of B.F.H.S. but this time as confident upperclassmen.

On September 30, 1960, the Freshmen of Bellows Falls High School were subjected by the seniors, to many indignities. The boys were compelled to wear skirts and nylon stockings or no stockings at all. When they arrived in the morning a group of gleeful senior girls went to each Freshman home room and ar- tistically applied lipstick and eyebrow pencil to the boys. The girls were asked to wear only men’s shirts outside their skirts and boots of some fashion. While the boys were required to wear make-up, the girls were told they must wear no make- up at all. Both boys and girls had to carry their books in pails and they also had to wear a green ribbon denoting the fact that they were freshmen. In the evening at the annual Freshman Reception the first person asked to ascend the stage was Terry Griffin. Terry, a staunch Democrat and Kennedy man, was given a Nixon- Lodge hat to wear, a Nixon-Lodge banner and many Nixon- Lodge pins to distribute to each person to come on the stage. Bill Faught and Warren Schurman were the masters of ceremony. During the course of the evening Diana Vogel, Kenny Os- good, Jane Skelton and Ray McDermott were called. They were instructed in the art of feeding each other bananas. They ob- viously got more on their aprons than in their mouths. This was followed by dancing in the Gym to the music of the Swing Band. September 30 is a day that will be long remembered by the class of 1964. 58 But Masters, here are your parts: And I am to entreat you, request you, and desire you to con Them by tomor- row night . . . ENGLISH Miss Brown’s questions often require deep thinking. English is required of all students throughout their four years of high school. The purpose of English is to enable the student to acquire the habit of logical, organized thinking; of intelligent amassing of information; and of compre- hending and evaluating according to the strict, criti- cal standards of college and business life. Another purpose of this course is to teach students to express themselves so they can be understood both now and in the future. In order to accomplish this, the student is presented a course which consists of grammar, vocabulary, creative and practical writing, exposition, oratory, debating dramatization, and pub- lications. Because a good reading background is essential for college, students are encouraged to read for pleasure and the appreciation of social forces and institutions. In this reading program the students become ac- quainted with the classical and modem literature of both Great Britain and the United States. At the end of the English course the student has been provided with a sound foundation upon which may be built a more successful and enriching life. Friendly correction characterizes Mr. McQulibbe’s classes. FOREIGN LANGUAGES Latin, expanded to a third year last year, is now- being offered for four years. This language not only- covers grammar such as declensions and conjugations, but in the second year students embark tipon the task of translating Caesar’s campaigns, and the sen- tence stnictures used in these translations. Then comes the exacting job of studying and learning Latin poe- try from great authors like Ovid, Cicero, and Virgil. French, the other foreign language offered has also been expanded and now- includes three years. French offers basic grammar and an extensive amount of conversational French. These are supplemented by tapes and outside reading which gives the class a better understanding of the different uses of the different words in French. In the newly acquired third year, students begin studying such master- pieces as “Les Miserables” by Victor Hugo. This year the new language laboratory, w-hich has been a dream for many years, has finally become a reality. Latin students take their independent study seriously. SCIENCE A world of expressions . . . CaCb . . . Potassium . . . Periodic Chart . . . chemical calculations . . . (whew!) X. aklk� r s a Since science is to play an ever increasing role in the years to come, many in B.F.H.S. are seeking to learn the fundamentals of sciences during their high school days. In his sophomore year the student is required to take biology. In this course the student acquires a general knowledge about plant and animal life and human growth. He has opportunities to dissect small animals and fish in order to observe the body’s functions. The student, in his junior year, may now choose to study physics. I his 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 give to each student a general overall knowledge of many scientific subjects. In his senior year the student is able to study chemis- try. Here he is able to acquire a knowledge of the physi- cal and chemical changes in the world around us. Chemistry is also a study of the elements. Here, as in physics, a portion of the class time is taken up with ex- periments and demonstrations of the matter being studied. 62 SOCIAL SCIENCE Miss Hunt gives a brief introduction to map study. Social Science 9, the first step in what might become a four year study of social studies, is mainly an orientation course offered to Freshmen. It teaches them the his- tory of our school and secondary schools in general. Also students are taught certain study techniques such as how to prepare for and take an exam, and how to keep an intelligent notebook. Also included is an introduction to civics. Step two is taken when the student embarks on a journey through the world's histoiy. From the earliest days of the cave man through to the present time, students learn of our heritage. This is not an extensive study, but rather it simply acquaints the student briefly with the world. United States History, which is required of all students to graduate, is a study of our country from its birth to the present. It covers the administrations of all Presi- dents and gives detailed accounts of all events of importance, which occurred while each was in office. The last step of your social studies career is modern history, usually taken in the Senior year. In modem history the class traces democracy up through the ages. Also the modern history class sees a democracy work by running School State. This year being an election year, the class also journeyed to the polls to observe the voters casting their ballots. Reference work for history is exacting . . . COMMERCE Mr. Gleason makes Commerce comical . . . Students in the secretarial, business, and merchandising courses constitute the school s business world. They are trained in filing and indexing: they learn the cor- rect operating procedure of the many complex machines including calculators, add- ing machines, and a host of others. After two years of stenography students may have gained a speed as high as 120- 140 words per minute. Many of the girls in this course acquire positions in Bellows Falls during their Senior year and keep them after graduation. Bookkeeping in the business course, is an aid to students in future years. They are taught the correct methods for keeping books and then given workbooks for prac- tice. The adding machines in the rear of 309 are always being used by someone check- ing their totals. Merchandising, the third part of our commercial world, is not only an educational course but an interesting one too. These students are our future businessmen. They gain experience from the handling of ice cream during cafeteria periods. Taking over J. J. Newberry’s for a day is their annual project. ‘Dear Phil . . . Miss Crotty, this is a business letter?” MATHEMATICS Step by step procedure is explained by Mr. Johnson to Pat Hennessey. I’ll even interrupt my class if you take my picture!” At some time during his high school days each stu- dent in I5.F.H.S. must study one kind of math or another. All of the math courses attempt to teach not only facility with number but also ability to reason and to think logically. Math courses which are available to freshmen and sophomores are algebra I and II, general math, business arithmetic, or shop math. Available to juniors and sen- iors are plane geometry, trigonometry, solid geometry, review math, and mechanical drawing. Although at some times the student feels that each day’s work is more discouraging and confusing, there does arrive a day of revelation when all the pieces of a mathematical puzzle fall into place. Whatever one learns in any of the math courses stud- ied will be infinitely beneficial on the job or in any phase of future life. 65 ART Mrs. Wetherall explains the difficult but rewarding work of her art students. The art classes of Bellows Falls High School, instructed by Mrs. Wetherall, are a popular and talent-searching elective. The students who take art have the oppor- tunity to learn the basic knowledge of how to draw and paint with charcoal, oil, pastel and ink. Many art exhibits of different kinds are held each year. In the fall is the Hallo- ween store window contest. Mrs. Wetherall has art shows in the high school in the fall and spring. Pictures by the art students on display in the show window reveal hidden talent to both teachers and parents. Each year on Class Day an art award is given to a student who shows promising talent in the field. After completing his work of art, the student mounts the drawing and puts it in the window for display. PRACTICAL ARTS Bob Patch and Harland Rounds work intently on a shop project. Shop and Home Economics, interspersed with general science, shop math, and machines and electricity, are the backbone of the Practical Arts department. Home Economics is an aid to preparing a girl for homemaking. Students in this course are taught skills of sewing, cooking, interior decorating and child care. There are simulated kitchens, complete to the smallest detail, in which the girls improve their culinary skills. There are also two rooms devoted to the exacting task of learn- ing to sew, complete with sewing machines and the other needed equipment. Industrial Arts, or, as the students know it, Shop, is an integral part of Bellows Falls High School. It prepares the boys taking the General Course for what may be their future occupations. It includes the skills required to work with wood and metals. Students are taught not only correct use of each intricate machine but also how to use each one safely. Mr. Comtois supervises Philip Wilson’s work. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Play up! Play up! And play the game! Sandi Smith skillfully bowls a strike. Physical Education, a compulsory course for both boys and girls, is enjoyed by the majority of the stu- dent body. It serves to increase physical co-ordination and to instill in the student a feeling of good sports- manship. During the first few days of school Mrs. Jones, Di- rector of Girls’ Sports, introduced a program of rigorous exercises and activities which are designed to limber up muscles and to build up the body. Each of the girls tried her hand at ping-pong, volleyball, soc- cer, softball, and basketball. These games were designed to increase the student's skill in these various sports. In Mr. Hadley’s class the boys followed much the same pattern of activities. The greatest concentration, however, was in the fields of dodge-ball and basketball. 68 i o one can become Perfect by merely Ceas- ing to act. SAMPLER STAFF The production of a yearbook is a difficult, re- sponsible but definitely a rewarding job. From the editor to the proofreader, each in turn has his job to do. There is a deadline for everything that has to be done whether it be sending for photographic coverage, writing copy, mailing pages or just stamp- ing pictures. Each yearbook consists of school events from the Senior Hop in June of the preceding year to the Governor’s Ball of the present year. The first step is the making of the pre-dummy, a page by page mapping of what the Sampler is to be. Photogra- phers must be notified of the time and place to take pictures. These pictures range in subject from club members, sports, dances, to Senior class formal pic- tures. The next big step is the layout work, a job involving much time and careful planning. The copy writers spend hours writing copy for each page of the yearbook. After each page has been laid out with pictures, copy, identification, stamping, special in- structions, Mr. Jillson’s o.k. and the editor’s name and position, the page is sent to the yearbook publishing house. Amidst all the laborious hand work of the mem- bers, the Editor-in-chief and the Business Manager have overseeing jobs. The business manager is in charge of all financial aspects of the production, the advertising, the money drives, the Sampler dances, but mainly keeping the production within its budget. At the peak of production is the Editor. She holds responsibility for all the work done by the staff mem- bers. She plans the page content, writes letters for photographic coverage, watches deadline dates, and does any extra copy, typing, and proofreading work which must be done before the shipment. But most of importance she has to be capably responsible to carry out the job of seeing that the yearbook is best produced in a most efficient manner. No work could be done on a yearbook without the assistance of the advisor, Mr. Jillson. He is there to help the staff not only in the problems of their job, but also to see that the staff does the job correctly. FRONT ROW: J. Barry, Ass't Production Manager; D.

The “Bertha Chelyabinsk Col- umn” was added as a fictitious character who answers the personal problems of her adherents. During the distribution of the Christmas issue, representatives were assigned to take orders in homerooms. The sales increased showing that the previous issues had little adver- tising. The “Hi Schooler” staffs sell pro- grams at basketball and football games. The paper also takes part in School State activities by adver- tising several prominent can- didates. These contributing factors on the whole yielded a profitable year for both the newspaper and the treasury. FRONT ROW: G. Harley, V. Lowell, K. Justice, G. Holland, G. Hakey, J. Trybulski, A. Frey, J.

The proofreaders are Maty Lucia, Linda Ward, David Reed, and James Keefe. The photography editor is Mike Kane. The addition of these articles in the Times by the students has cer- tainly brought more reading inter- est by the student body. The subjects range from club write-ups, coming dances, new students, bio- graphical sketches of new teachers, editorials, to SAB assemblies, School State activities, and musi- cal productions. The purpose of the Times staff of BFHS is to acquaint the adults with the daily life at the school. 71 LATIN CLUB bRONT ROW: W. Zielinski, C. Baldasaro, M. Talbot. N. Switzer. G. Harley, R.

The purpose of the Latin Club is to acquaint the students with a side of Latin not taught in the class- room. It presents the daily life of the ancient Ro- mans. In this way the student is able to think of the Romans as people and not as scholarly charac ters in a Latin textbook. In December the members celebrated the feast of Saturnalia, the Roman equivalent of Christmas, in two ways. On December sixth a dance, “Io Saturnalia,’’ was sponsored by the club and open to the entire student body. Then in place of its reg- ular monthly meeting the Latin Club celebrated its own Saturnalia. Games were played and refresh- ments were served. At the Christmas season the annual candy sale was held. Members had their choice of the tradi- tional candy or a new introduction — chocolate bars. The money realized from this sale is used for the Roman Banquet and for any other activities which the club might wish to sponsor.

At this time three one-act plays are presented, the casts carefully chosen by Miss Brown, director, for both acting ability and casting of character. Play-Nite is a con- test among three plays, the winner to compete in a district contest. An acting position is not the only way to become a member of this club. Anyone who sells 10 tickets before opening night is officially a member. To stay a member this way one has to sell 10 tickets for Play-Nite each year. Much credit is due to the stage crew. Douglas Knowlton and James Bugbce have been especially helpful to the production of the plays. They have worked hard and long on lighting, stage effects, and the taping of the background for each play. When a play is presented at BFHS more people attend than for any other activity. Miss Brown has a reputation for presenting entertaining, versatile plays involving excellent casting. 73 MONITORS BFHS is well-known for its excellent monitor system. At every door a monitor is stationed to keep the students moving orderly in double file. There are monitors who rove from one door to the next, oc- casionally taking the place of an unguarded post. Besides the monitor system in the halls, there are always four members on position in the cafeteria, keeping the noise down and watching for trouble-makers. Two weeks each month are days of monitor meetings. Problems of all types are discussed and ways are found to lessen the problems of the monitors. Every two months Miss Santcmaria, the monitor ad- viser, hands out new post positions. Six monitors are chosen from the Junior class and the rest from the Senior class on the responsibility, leadership, and capabil- ity to keep order among the 500 students of BFHS.

Their duties throughout the year pro- vide us with educational and entertain- ing assemblies. Bellows Falls book covers, cokes at basketball games, a worthy freshman with the annual Citizenship Award, newly chartered clubs, members participating in the annual Bellows Falls Brattleboro exchange day, and the send- ing of delegates to the Vermont Associa- tion of Student Councils. Under their new faculty advisor, Mr. Richard Streeter, the members meet the first and third Mondays of every month during the second or third period, alter- nating each week. When some extra- important matter comes up, the Execu- tive Committee, consisting of the four officers, meets with Mr. Streeter to discuss the problem.

Despite the pleadings of Maria, his wife, and Mama Rosa, his mother, Juan, a former bullfighter, is determined to again fight the bulls. Tragedy strikes and Juan is killed. Padre, Maria, and Gonzales, the bull trainer, look helplessly down at him, Gonzales wondering how it could have happened to such an expert bullfighter. The play ends with Maria kneeling beside Juan weeping but praying, “I hope that today, as you entered the ring, you were happy enough to make up for the life we have lost together.” THE BAD CHILDREN The Bad Children is a modern takeoff on Hansel and Gretel. The witch, a graduate in witchcraft, disputes with the old enchanter about whose magic is ihe better. Two delin- quents, having been left by their parents, appear and begin eating the witch’s house. They talk back to her and are locked in her house. When the witch refuses to keep them, the enchanter suggests turning them into birds. The parents appear while the witch is brew- ing the spell. The children then come out of the house and kick over the cauldron, turning all but themselves into statues. Frightened, the bad children admit their wickedness and prom- ise always to be good if the statues again be- come alive. Evidence that the characters were well cast was shown when three out of the five awards were presented to them and the play was named as the winner. EM A FOOL I’m a Fool, a farce, was the third play pre- sented Play-Nite. George, a young stable hand, is all “duded-up” for the race at Sandusky. At the race he meets three city people (all the time pretending to be Walter Mathers, a wealthy horse owner). In order to impress Lucy, one of the three, he tells them to bet on About Ben Ahem, the favorite in the race (and owned by the real Mr. Mathers). About Ben Ahem wins and Lucy is duly im- pressed. She promises to write to George. Only after she leaves does George realize that she be- lieves him to be Mr. Mathers and intends to write to him at Marietta. As the curtain closes George realizes his plan has backfired and utters his closing words . . . “I’m a fool!” 76 THE WHITE DOVE Maria .......... Pauli Slobodnjak Juan ................

After much careful consideration of talent and cooperative abilities, fifty regular members and twenty substitutes were chosen to be the members of the Glee Club. Each school year this music club presents a Christmas concert for the school and the public. Mrs. Ralph Boynton accompanied the Glee Club at these performances. Either an operetta or a pops concert is planned each year. When New England Festival time arrives, Miss Bedell chooses her best to sing with this big chorus. In the spring a selected few are sent to Burlington for the Vermont All-State Chorus. Also dur- ing the year exchange concerts with other schools bring hard work but enjoyment to the Glee Club. Miss Bedell works hard with her singing students demanding attention, cooperation, and best effort. 78 BAND FRONT ROW: E. Pearson, W. Newell, R. Johnson, M. Hennessey, C. Carpenter, A. Golec, D.

These outstanding scholars are an integral part of Bellows Falls High School. They carry on the few duties assigned to them again this year by assisting at the annual open house as guides. This year also being evaluation year, the Society members along with the S.A.B., served as guides for the visiting teachers which made up the evaluation committee. Again this spring a few of the top scholars in the Junior Class were selected to become members. These students were inducted into the Society in the traditional man- ner at an assembly for the entire High School. FRONT ROW: W. Zielinski, D. Edson, Vice President; W. Newell, President; S.

At the National Honor So- ciety Banquet, pins and certifi- cates were presented to the new members. Mrs. James Heanue, speaker from Town- shend, Vermont, spoke about the four qualities of the So- ciety : leadership, scholarship, character, and service. When Mr. PaUo, English teacher from Indonesia, came to BF on a visit, the NHS members were chosen to act as panel members for discussions in which Mr. Parto answered questions about his country. 82 F. N. A. The purpose of the Future Nurses of America is to interest girls in a profession in the medical field. By films, speakers, and trips, the girls are shown the life of not only nurses but also of physical therapists and the various techni- cians needed in a hospital. Early in the school year the F.N.A., under the guidance of Mrs. Pollard, met to organize and to choose its officers for the year. The girls elected the following: Arlene Golec, President; Eileen Beck, Vice president; Holly Flint, Secretary; and Nancy Switzer, Treasurer. During the year several girls at- tended the annual Career Day at Elliot Community Hospital in Keene, N.H. An opportunity was also given the girls to learn a little about psy- ciatric nursing by visiting the Re- treat in Brattleboro. F. H. A. In order to aid the girls in the Home Economics classes the Fu- ture Homemakers of America Club was established. This club enables the Home Economics students to pursue their domestic and home- making skills outside of the class- room. Membership is open only to those students who are taking a course in Home Economics. The number of members in the club has grown since the establishment of the club. Twice a month during the regular class period, the group, under the guidance of Mrs. Kenny, holds its meetings. The purpose of the F.H.A. is to instill into each member a spirit of leadership. In this way the future citizen will learn skills which will aid her in performing services for her home and community. FRONT ROW: L. Bushey, B. Bain, L. Ward, J. Trybulski, D.

OUR REPRESENTATIVES During the year a number of the stu- dent body represent the school at various functions Last spring the present senior class and the faculty chose the representatives for Girls’ and Boys’ States. Its purpose is to educate young men and women in the duties, privileges, rights, and re- sponsibilities of American citizenship. The citizens were able to run for state offices in order that they may under- stand and participate in the functioning of their government. All 11 representa- tives had an enjoyable week and ac- quired not only the knowledge of what Boys’ and Girls’ State is. but also the memory of wonderful times and new friends. In November, two members of the SAB. attended the Vermont Student Council Association at Rutland, Vt. Here the representatives spent a week- end in private homes, rooming with students from other schools. They brought back with them many interest- ing, and different ideas on how to better our student body activities, along with pamphlets containing material of in- terest to the S.A.B. On May 12,13, and 14, two delegates attended Model United Nations in Ply- mouth, N.H. The two representatives were part of the delegation from By- lorussian S.S.R. and were involved in such problems as German Re-Unifica- tion and the Algerian crisis.

ASSOCIATION The main project carried on by the students of the Modern History Class is the annual School State. This pro- gram presents a little of the functions and procedures of the town, county, and state government. It enables the student to learn a little of the proced- ures of voting which are so important in our democratic way of life. First the prospective candidate takes out a petition and obtains the neces- sary signatures. Then these are re- turned and the primary election is held, enabling the party members to choose their standard bearers. Now begins the feverish campaign- ing as the walls become colorful with various posters. Then the general elections arrive and the day which the candidates have been awaiting with a little bit of fear has come and gone. The culmination of the entire proj- ect comes on Inauguration Day, when the newly elected Governor is inaugu- rated and School State is over for an- other year. The Athletic Association is one of the largest clubs in the school, com- posed of those students who wish to assure themselves of an inexpensive en- trance into many activities both at this school and others, and at the same time help support the Athletic fund. Its officers sell A.A. tickets, organize an assembly, sell tickets at home bas- ketball games and set up bus schedules to transport students to tournament games. 85 MATH AND SCIENCE CLUB FRONT ROW: W.

A Grand March is always fun, but when it gets up to four couples no one knows quite where to turn. Mr. Eaves and Miss Sturdcvant prove that the younger generation isn’t the only “hep” group. Even the Junior High are good dancers, as shown here by Billy Murphy and his date. Friday night dances are usually fund raising projects for one of the many classes or clubs. Throughout the year there have been many such dances. The first class party, given by the Juniors was entitled “Autumn Leaves” and used as its decorations leaves and other pertinent materials. The Freshmen inaugurated a new idea by sponsoring a Sock Hop. There was a table set up in the gym lobby at which shoes were checked. As one looked around it seemed as if everyone had worn his or her flashiest socks. “Wonderland by Night” sponsored by the Sophomore Class, was by far the most elaborate class dance. The entire gym was decorated mainly in black and silver, producing a beautiful effect. Two other record hops were held in addition to the Junior High class parties. The first was a fund raising dance for the SAMPLER staff and the second, a fund raising project for the Latin Club. A fast spotlight dance is held and everyone is seen dancing with new faces. The last dance comes all too soon . . .

At this time the newly elected officers and the voters of School State are able to enjoy a social evening. The guests, officers and students enter the gym which is decorated with streamers and posters of the various candidates. The special guests are the parents of the newly elected governor. The principal and his wife, with other teachers and wives, constitute the reception line through which all pass. 1961 FRONT ROW: Dorine Edson, State Secre- tary; Hardy Merrill, Becky Young, Mike Cray, Governor; Pat Lucy, John Capron, Lieutenant Governor. SECOND Now all enjoy an evening of dancing with music supplied by a dance band. Some of the highlights of the dance are the Governor's Waltz in which the governor and his date hold the spotlight, the Grand March which the officers and their dates lead, and the intermission during which each newly elected officer makes a short speech of thanks. All too soon the time is gone and the Governor’s Ball is at an end. ROW: Brenda McDonald. Terry Griffin, Attorney Gen- eral; Claire Kahkola, Jay Buckley, State Auditor. POPS CONCERT The full chorus puts all it can into many classical, semi-classical, and modern tunes, directed by Miss Bedell. On May 25 and 26 the Special Glee Club and the vocal music classes under the direction of Miss Bedell presented the Pops Concert. The gym was decorated with murals which were made by a group of students guided by Mrs. Wetherell. These murals depicted two of the fa- miliar scenes of spring; birds, and flowers. The singers were accompanied by Miss Carol Whitcomb on the piano and by the high school orchestra. A duet, “Anthem of Spring,” was sung by Joni Wisell and Ruth Boynton. The audience on both evenings were seated at either tables for four or on the bleachers. Food could be purchased and was served by the Junior High waiters. The concert was enjoyed by a large attendance on both evenings. Al, Jack and Hank: The Chantes Trio. Miss Bedell explains what songs the talented Glee Club will now sing. Engrossed in her work, Miss Bedell sings along with the Glee Club. ROMAN BANQUET Chantes Trio entertains the Latin Clubers. Slave Nancy Smith serves the guests at the Banquet. These girls seem to know good food and entertainment when they see it. Many Latin Club members clad as Roman pa- tricians flocked to the high school cafeteria to par- take of the annual feast set before them by the slaves from the first year Latin classes. Following the banquet the offering to the gods was made by Caesar, with a few special slaves as- sisting him. When this important part of the feast had been performed the attending patricians set- tled back to enjoy the entertainment that had been provided for them. First on the program was a slave dance per- formed by the female slaves. Following that Mr. McAuliffe showed the entire group movies of previ- ous Latin Club banquets. John Capron, soloist, and the Chantes Trio, a local trio composed of high school students, then sang a few popular songs in Latin. To conclude the evening’s entertainment, a group of Latin Club members produced a short play, which not only was amusing, but also gave us a brief look at Roman life. John Capron gives out with some fine enter- tainment. SENIOR PLAY Bob Thompson, Doug Knowlton, Janice Clark, and Sue Whitcomb make certain the lights, music, curtain, and stage are set up correctly for opening night.

JUNIOR PROM ”60” Frenchmen glide over the streets of Paris near the Eiffel Tower with their favorite dates. For the theme of their first formal dance which was held on April 5, the class of 1961 chose “Eve- ning in Paris.” Many students traveled to Paris, France, via the Bellows Falls High School gym. As one entered the gym he saw a reproduction of Paris’ most famous sight the Eiffel Tower. Couples danced in the streets of Paris to the delightful music of Allan Kendall and his orchestra. Midnight saw the end of this enjoyable evening for which many weeks of feverish preparation had been spent. Janet McCaffrey and Fred Masure follow Malcolm Kiniry and Lin Chamberlin before going through the receiving line. SENIOR HOP Stan Patch, Mary Helen Taft, Julie Slobodnjak, and Wendy Brown pose together in front of the dice, during intermission. June 10,1960 will be a night to remember for many; for it was on that lovely summer evening that the Juniors proudly unveiled their supreme achievement for the year: “Pair-’O-Dice.” The artists of this class outdid themselves, in this final tribute to the Seniors, with deco- rations of cards, both figure and face. Also in- cluded in this assortment were real cards and other paraphernalia to be found in the world of a gambler. After a few short hours, “Pair-’O-Dice” and the many weeks of hard work put in by the members of all committees was at an end. With this gala evening ended the 1959- 1960 Social Season at Bellows Falls High School. John Capron, Pat Lucy, Ann Lucia and Izzy Patalano assemble during intermission to blueprint a memorable evening. Jimmy Barry and Maureen Talbot enjoy Allen Ken- dall during one of his solo numbers. 97 JUNIOR PROM ”61” Enchanted” During intermission the couples rest, fascinated by the original decorations and delighted with their dates. The class of 1962, proudly presented “Mardi Gras” on November 17, 1961 as their Junior Prom. One side of the gymnasium was gaily decorated with a replica of a Spanish hotel. The couples at- tending this dance danced in the streets outside of this hotel. On the opposite wall were silhouettes characteristic of the Mardi Gras in New Orleans. The members of all committees put in weeks of work to make this a successful Junior Prom, the first to be held in the fall, a memorable one for all who attended.

These two losses occurred in the games with Keene and Windsor. The high point of this season was a win over St. Albans. The Terrierettes have not been able to de- feat their arch rival for ten years. However, when the St. Albans girls invaded Bellows Falls the Falls girls handed them a defeat. The Terrierettes were able to achieve such a good record as a result of the experienced coaching of Mrs. Dorothy Jones and the combined efforts of Judy Mercurc, Susan Githens, Dodie Githens, Sharon Smith, Suzanne Chamberland, and Nancy Minich. The Junior Varsity girls also were able to finish the season with a very successful record of 12 wins and 1 loss. The only loss the girls suffered was to Alstead, N.H. M. Hennessey, left, and S.

Opening against an equally green Windsor team Bellows Falls displayed unex- pected power as they coasted home with a 12—0 win. With morale boosted they were handed a severe jolt by Bennington at the first game on the new athletic field. Pat Buckley provided a thrilling touchdown when he ran 80 yards to put the “Terriers” in scoring position. It seemed that the skill and swiftness of Bennington’s Wilkinson combined with his 280 pound lineman was just too much for the Fallsmen to overcome. Bennington carved a 41—6 victory on that clash. At Brattleboro came one of the biggest upsets of the season when Bellows Falls came from the tail end of a 14—0 score in the third quarter to wallop the Colonels 20—14. Traveling upstate to Rutland only to find the powerful Raiders ready for us, we took a 19—12 beating. The following week we crossed the town of Rutland to clash with an eager Mount St. Joseph team. This, too, was an off day. The Hadleymen took a beating of 13—7. Still confident the Fallsmen showed their stuff in a clash with the big Woodstock boys and walked away with a 13-—7 victory. October 29 was the biggest day of the Terriers’ football year. This Bellows Falls- Springfield game is often referred to as the Army-Navy game of the Connecticut Valley. Although they went into the game with strong intentions they couldn’t hold Coach Ralph Woods’ offense down. Bellows Falls was defeated by the smooth ball handling of halfbacks Graham Clark, Dan Chadwick, and Springfield’s right arm man, Jack Spofford. However, for the last game of the season the Terriers bounced back to gain 15 points in the last quarter in the game against Williamstown, Mass, and win 15—12. 1 he leading Terrier in this game was “Curly” Barry who pranced 53 yards through a storm of tacklers for a touchdown. So, Bellows Falls ended up the season with a record of 4 wins and 4 defeats. 102 Tim Nelson Go-Captain ■mV ■ c t BASKETBALL Captain: Hardy Merrill Jerry Bigelow Richard Bashaw The Bellows Falls basketball team had an outstanding sea- son this year, ending up the league play w'ith a 12—2 record. All fans w'ill agree the most exciting game and the most crucial was w'ith Brattleboro on our own court. If the Colonels won this one there would be a tie for loop supremacy; if the Terriers w'on it would practically clinch the S.V.L. title. With thirty seconds left in the game Brattleboro had a 3 point ad- vantage over Bellows Falls, and it looked as though they had taken this one. However, the Terrier pivotman, Jerry Bigelow, hooped 5 points in twenty seconds and the Colonels suffered a defeat. Just three nights later at Rutland the Terriers topped M.S.J. and clinched the title with a two game lead and one left to play. Pat Buckley u John Capron B.F. 47 41 B.F. 67 43 B.F. 49 32 B.F. 67 60 .

On February 25, 1961, the Terriers of B.F.H.S. invaded Riverside Gymnasium in Springfield once again trying for their first S.V.L. Tournament win. Friday, in the second game of the evening, Bel- lows Falls met the Yellow Jackets of Windsor. Twice before, during regular season play, the Terriers had beaten them by only 3 points. The question of the evening was, could they do it once more? After an extremely tense game in which there was a fine dis- play of basketball, Bellows Falls once again edged by Windsor by a small 3 points; 60—57. On February 26, in the only game of the evening, Bellow’s Falls met Bennington who, the previous afternoon, had scored an upset over Brattleboro. This game would be a hard fight, for both clubs were determined to cop their first S.V.L. Tournament championship. Both clubs gave their all and the quality of the basketball played that evening was out- standing. But, Bellows Falls once again sneaked by them, 49—47, and won not only the Tournament but the right to try for the State title. Saturday evening, March 4, at the Middlebury College field house, the Bellows Falls Five made a valiant bid for the State title. Although they were defeated by Spaulding High School of Barre, every man on our team played a good game. The Terriers after taking a 10 point lead at one time in the first period, found that the Spaulding team came from behind wfith 8 points to cut down the Purple lead at the end of the first frame. After that the Terriers dropped behind and the Crimson Tide forged ahead to keep their lead throughout the rest of the game. In the fourth quarter the Terriers staged an attempted comeback but it was fruitless. Every time Bellows Falls made a basket Spaulding picked up another one too; thus winning the State title 58—51.

EPILOGUE The play is done; the curtain drops, Slow falling to the prompter’s bell: A moment yet the actor stops, And looks around, to say farewell. It is an irksome word and task: And, when he’s laughed and said his say, He shows, as he removes the mask, A face that’s anything but gay. 108 BOOSTERS Bellows Falls Cooperative Creamery, Inc.
