Bellows Falls High School Bellows Falls, Vermont I )ed ica l Lion T Am all the alumni, administration, and faculty of Bellows Falls High School - past and present - with- out whom there would be no school, we dedicate our 1971 Sampler. All have given a part of themselves to make the school a more productive institution. Our spe- cial thanks go to them for their individual and collective contributions through the years. 2 T i k he first years of Bellows Falls High School were very different in many ways from today. The first class to graduate from the high school in 1876 con- sisted of five people. This year, there will be 140. When the high school first started, there were few of the “modern conveni- ences” we have now. But after the fire in 1925, when the school burned to the ground, a new school was built - “the latest word in up-to-date schools.” As de- scribed in the Rockingham History, it was opened in 1927 and had all the modern equipment it had lacked before: new sanitary facilities, automatic temperature, atmospheric controls and ventilation, a large gym, art and sewing rooms, a fireproof vault, and numerous other conveniences, now accomodating as many as five hundred pupils. In 1956, it was decided that there was need of a new entrance to the gym and a new ell, which now contains labs, typing rooms, shop areas, and the library. However, even with these changes, the school became crowded, as it is today, and the decision was made to build a new school. Next year, this school will be ready for its occupants. Therefore, the class of 1971 will become the last class to graduate from the hallowed halls of Bellows Falls High School. 3 p J erhaps more than ever before, we notice changes taking place all around us. A new building is only the beginning of these changes. An entire revolution is underway and we are all a part of it. New techniques in teaching are evolving. Vast changes can be noted in social fields. Moral standards have developed entirely new concepts. We have been changed by this revolu- tion, and we, in our turn, shall make changes upon it. Ours are changing times, and we are an active part of a changing world. Some changes are being made for us. SfODBWT Covmc.W- WoklRXWo'. CK0ES3 COOS GdriU-S. SAWCns Co’se ess © v pr f - CWWt.5 Loe fev ingTimes Some of us are silting back watching these changes being made. Some of us are making mistakes. Some of us are making these changes. Some of us are learning from our past mistakes. w f i e are part of an experiment in educa- tion. Caught in a period of transition, we often find ourselves questioning our own values as well as those of others. We are testing new ideas and creat- ing new channels of thought. We are testing new equipment as well. Computers have advanced our mathematical capabilities and audiovisual devices have opened entirely new fields of education. We are the outer limits of the old and the origin of the new. Ours is a new experience and we are respond- ing to a vast new challenge. We are experimenting with new tools. We are testing new techniques in teaching. E xperxence w FI e are the last of a grand era, an era filled with victory, glory, loyalty, and fair play. Behind the purple we wear stands a record of achievement in all fields. Our name is rated high upon the academic scale. In dramatic competition, we can look back upon a history of honors. Our Terrier teams have always maintained a high level of athletic competition. We are proud to be a part of this record, just as we are proud to be the last of this grand era. Ours is a proud tradition, and we are proud to become alumni of Bel- lows Falls High School. ENTER GO FORTH TO TO LEARN SERVE Our pride lies in the purple we wear. Our pride is exhibited throughout the building. Ours is a tradition of higher education. OURS IS A PROUD TRADITION As we mature how much will be remembered of what we endured all for the sake of being a graduate? Will we recall freshman folly Christmas trees and smells of holly Prom fervor with floating gowns and heady coke Saturday night with all the boys broke Glee Club snrills Gymnastic tumbles and spills Dress code changes, jeans at last lunches at which we fast Cafeteria and Auditorium study halls a confusion of airplanes and spitballs Window seats ana basement butts How in the world did they put up with us? The Springfield-Bellows Falls game Will we ever be the same? Is this really our proud tradition? Is it not more our living one? Ours is a tradition of proud achievement. 9 The School Board Those people behind the scenes: Mrs. Priscilla King Alfred S. Githens William Hennessey Joseph Joy Paul J.

A A fcfter four years our class has finally arrived on the threshold of graduation. Many of us can’t wait to get outside, but many of us are working harder than ever. We started out as more than 155 freshmen. Of these, nearly 140 will receive diplomas in June. We are the last of a long line of graduates from Belows Falls High School. Our class has seen two principals, three assistant principals, and a multitude of teachers. Now we move forward to a new life of armed service, work, or higher educa- tion. What will we remember of these past four years? Will it be the friends we knew so well? Will it be a proud tradition of purple and white? Or will it be a fine football record? What will we find as we venture out into the world, many of us on our own for the first time in our lives? Can we survive our brave new world? It appears so. After all, we have survived hazardous snow storms in the dead of winter to get to school when other schools were closed. We’ve survived fire drills, bomb scares, walk-outs and even detention. We’ve survived warnings, report cards and exams. We will survive. We have spent four years in search of knowledge. Wc arc now ready to use that knowledge according to the tradition of those who passed this way before us. We have “entered to learn” and in our turn we are now the last to “go forth to serve” from Bellows Falls High School. 52 Class Notables MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED - M. Ashcroft, I.

Robinson Eighth Grade Members of the eighth grade were in a unique position this year, with no seventh grade in the building, so they formed their own Student Council. To raise money for a picnic or party in June they held a basketball game in March with a boys’ team playing against a team of girls. The girls won 46-40 because the boys riad to wear boxing gloves. In the magazine campaign last fall their rooms 103 and 105 won firsthand second place, so 103 had a pizza party. The boys had football, Basketball, and baseball in junior high teams; their basketball success took them to Rutland, with Westminster, for a championship game. S. C. Officers: M. DeCamp. treas.. C.

Council c hr tudent Council has found itself in a torrent of ac- tivity this year. The monitor system was revised as a result of suggestions made by the council. A committee for the purpose of establishing a student rate at the local movies was organized and a project designed to boost school spirit got under way in the form of Bellows Falls Terrier shirts. A soda machine was placed in the lobby and another refreshment machine was ob- tained through an appeal to Mr. Weiser. The age-old question of dress soon found a home in debate during a council meeting and, as a result, a new dress code went into effect. The new code allowed girls to wear pants to school once again and added jeans to the list of acceptable attire. Abolition of compulsory study halls and the system of pass slips was discussed at an executive board meeting with Mr. Weiser, but the board failed to gain ground on this issue. Stu- dent rate cards went on sale in November and ended with a total of more than 150 sold. Student Council exchange letters were sent to several schools in the area. Bellows Falls Terrier shirts were ordered before Christmas and they arrived shortly afterward to go on sale. The idea of a winter carnival was brought before the council but its motion was defeated due to a lack of time to schedule the event. Other projects included a basketball game featuring the Harlem Stars and an effort to place a student council member upon the local school board. Three representatives were elected to attend the Vermont Association of Student Councils Convention in March during a meeting held in January. These representatives are Ruth Frey, Ann Massuco, and Rick Sharp. In the future, the council hopes to aid in the planning of the new school. by Rick Sharp as printed in LET IT ROLL STUDENT RATE CARD Enter To Learn Signature Falls Cinema Ht. ! j.

What hap- pened to the “Hi Schooler”? Where did it go? Friends, the “Hi Schooler” died, wrapped and suffocated in red tape. Well, the staff decided that what was once alive should live again. But the price of resurrection? What was it? The old format. We are striving for a relevant paper. Not a paper hashing over the last two months of French Club meetings and' all the football games that everyone has gone to and has heard about. But a paper of now — what happened yesterday and what will hap- pen tomorrow. A paper of mysteries of the High School — close-ups of your mentors, the Faculty. The probing minds of the body (student-wise). Wc arc shucking the constricting bonds of fashion ads, and club news summaries; we are putting on a new suit of clothes, dressing ourselves in freedom bonds of a new paper. Let us breathe. The change was necessary. The staff had went from hardly nothing to less than nothing. With the corpse of editors and the assistants a session was held in the English Office during first period, one Wednesday. It was decided that something had to be done. Bellows Falls needed a publication, but under the old load of the old format of lay-outs, our dwindling crew was fast evaporating. The idea of a weekly paper. That would be great: but the work. But no lay-out, just typing and running off the masters. Fantastic! Here we are! LET IT ROLL. In meeting — Judy Stoodlcy, Kristin Keefe, Mike Veitch, Mary Powers, Ann Massucco, Ruth Frey, and Sue Smallheer. Let It Roll Let it roll across the floor Through the hall and out the door To the fountain of perpetual mirth Let it roll for all it’s worth.

Girls Chorus T ■h he following is to give you an idea of what goes on during a typical rehearsal of the Mixed Chorus: From 6:30 to 7:00 kids congregate (members and non- members) outside and in the high school. At 7:00 Mr. Brys starts his round-up and most everyone comes by 7:10. After an inquiry as to why certain members are absent, the sheet music is passed out (torn, stepped on, thrown, written on, and even chewed)! After the 8:00 “Break” (bringing mass confusion) the group is herded back in, the the practice resumes. Seriously, the chorus puts in a lot of interest and hard work in rehearsing for the concerts. And Mr. Brys de- serves a lot of credit for the Glee Club’s success. By Mary Powers, as printed in Let It Roll.” D.E.C.A. Is Mr. Gleason, Money, And Ice Cream. Paula Schultz. John Stark.

A hectic day, a night without rest, But all to prove that “seniors are best.” 90 BfcST, JJt LOV eTM£M (YU ______ % - ' - mi A. e. X'EBPt F ■i res! reshman Reception is an annual affair at Bellows Falls High School. It is the school’s way of welcoming its Freshmen. The Seniors divide up into two committees. The Day Committee decides what the Freshmen will wear. It is always something very different from everyday clothes. They also make up a song for the Freshmen to learn. This song is about the Seniors and how wonderful they are. The Night Committee decides what each Freshman will do on stage that night for the benefit of the people who come and watch. The different things they do are from past experiences that are usually funny. To end this wonderful day in the lives of these — now — Freshmen is a dance put on by the Seniors in the Freshmen’s honor. Freshman Song Oh Seniors, you’re the ones. You make High School so much fun. On Seniors, we’re awfully fond of you. Boop! Boop! deDoop! Oh Seniors, you’re our star. How can we tell you how great you are? On Seniors, we’re awfully fond of you. Boop! Boop! deDoop! Every day when we make our way to the High School we find Seniors that are just so great and we love you. Boop! Boop! deDoop! Oh Seniors, you’re the ones. You make High School so , much fun. Oh Seniors, we’re awfully fond of you. Boop Boop deDoop! Senior Play T he class of ’71 will soon exhibit its theatrical abilities in this year’s senior play. Mr. McAuliffe, English expert of Bellows Falls High School, has taken the helm of the enterprise aided by Miss Felch and Tina Snell. The cast consists of eleven senior members, seven female players and four males. Sally Winters, the talkative, fre- quently maternal and completely lovable sister of Robbie winters, is played by Virginia Kabara with her parallel part being that of Sam Havway, a temperamental Greenwich Village artist profiled by Jim Noyes. Robbie Winters, nice-looking, mild-mannered reporter of the New York City daily, is portrayed by Rick Sharp with his opposite being Diane Roberts, Robbie’s well-dressed fiancee, played with sophistication by Donna Lawlor. Mrs. Kayser, widowed landlady of the crew, is played by Kathleen McCarthy, while Miss Lerner, borrowing busy-body, has been contracted to Brenda Lynch. Lance Allen plays the part of an outspoken cab driver called Guy Ketchen; and Harry Turner, a drunken horse player, is per- sonalized by Sheldon Beebe. Mimi Lamarr, a French pin-up model, is in reality Peggy Toussaint, while Mary Ashcroft lends her talents as Georgia Rutherford. Kitty Gauge, per- sonalized by Gail Stewert, rounds out the cast of this comedy. And the name of this senior extravaganza? Why of course — “Love is Contagious” — from “Let It Roll,” written by Rick Sharp One-Act Plays E, Vermont Schools prepare a one-act play to enter into competition in the Vermont Headmaster-sponsored One-Act Play Contest. Bellows Falls High School, however, conducts its own one-act play contest each year prior to the Headmas- ters’ contest. This gives more students the opportunity to participate in drama. Bellows Falls does one thing that the official contests do not do — it selects a Best Actor and a Best Actress from the casts of the three plays. Mrs. Tidd, in her first outing as a director this year, took all the honors. Her play “Not Enough Rope,” by Elaine May, was selected by the judges to represent Bellows Falls in the District contest, and two of her three actors took the acting prizes — Anne Massucco and James Noyes. “Not Enough Rope” went on to district competition with Brattleboro Union High School and Mount An- thony, in which Mount Anthony was the winner.

Leadership of the group was in the hands of Mike Cozine and Paul Soboleski, assisted by Randy Metcalf. The team expects a good year next fall with the return of John Stoodley, who finished ninth in the state meet, Art Giguere, and Floyd Lafoe, among many. Coach Har- old Angers will surely build another state champion team within the next few years. Cross-Country State Meet Participants, Silling: R. Metcalf. F. Lafoe, J. Stoodley. Standing: M.

Class Prophecy Dear Diary, J March 22, 1971 This morning at exactly 10:35 I had escaped from my third period studyhall on the pretext that I was to conduct a chemistry experiment that period. En route to the third floor, I was detained in the gym by a lengthy game of blackjack. Suddenly, the room began to spin around me. I was falling through the vast expanses of infinite space. Then the spinning slowed and finally stopped. I opened my eyes to find that the lockers had been rearranged. My friends were gone. I checked my watch only to find that the hands were broken. I had started out of the locker room when I noticed a junior high baseball schedule with dates of 1991. I realized with a start that I had been thrown 20 years into the future! Then I decided that this was the perfect opportunity to get information for the class prophecy. As I left school, I decided to take a walk around town to see how much things had changed. In talking with the townspeople. I learned that my entire experience was the product of Hans Swarts experiment in time travel. He had apparently perfected a machine which would pull objects out of the past. I guess his reading all those science-fiction stories finally paid off! Unfortunately, his assistant, John Lowery, supposedly unintentionally, spilled metal glue into the mechanism shortly after my arrival, damaging the machine beyond repair. Four hours after the acci- dent, I was somehow returned to the exact second and place of my departure. Passing down Atkinson St., I decided to stop in at Tony’s. There, I was not surprised to find that Lonnie Lisai, although having only one leg. is doing quite well with the market. He still denies that the missing leg was sold as hamburg. Wandering through the Square, I paid a visit to Sally Cox, of the Cox Real Estate Agency. She told me that she had recently purchased two high-rise apartment buildings on Cherry Hill, overlooking Room 300. Gazing across the street, I noticed that David Davignon had opened a new specialized tobacco shop. Bob Dexter told me that he had just opened a new store in Bartonsville. It is the latest in a chain encompassing the cities of Grafton, Gageville, Athens, Cold River, and Drcwsvillc. As I emerged from Dexter's, I happened to run into Town Mayor Bob Beals, who credits his election victory to his immortal quote: “Bob Beals is the name. and. you might say. Mayor is my game.” When I stopped in at Fletcher’s, I picked up a copy of the town’s daily newspaper “The Bellows Falls Turkey”, owned and operated by Mike Golec. As I glanced through the paper. I was surprised to see that I recognized many of the names. The big news item of the day was the report that Bellows Falls Police Chief David Naski had ar- rested town treasurer Jane Powers on charges of embezzlement. He reported that he is holding her . . . without bail. The Chief also reported the arrest of Maralyn Moore for 237 unpaid parking tickets. Then there was a note that “the ever-popular art team of Rick Sharp and Lance Allen have their la- test collection on display at the Fall Mountain Cultural Center.” In Lee Maidrand’s column. I noted that Moe Haskell had been hired by the Springfield school de- partment as a resident basketball referee. I saw also in the sports section that Virginia Kabara is finishing her fourth season with the Milwaukee Bucks. At the bottom of the page was an announcement that Tony Coyne and Arthur Ashe are tied in the world tennis championship. After I had finished with the paper, I decided to pay a visit to the new school. As I passed the armo- ry. I noticed that it had been remodeled into a brewery. Out front was a large sign declaring it to be the private property of Ed Bingham and Charles Bensenhaver. I had reached the First National Store when a car pulled over to offer me a ride. With amazement. I saw that the driver was Pete Bazin. He proudly announced that his farm had expanded to 500,000 cows. But most of the land, including the Bazin home, was being used for the placement of unsanitary landfill. When I inquired about the whereabouts of some of my old classmates, he was more than eager to give me the latest bits of gossip. 118 He said that Lane Maxfield had just opened the Bellows Falls branch of the International Playboy Club. Carol Narkiewicz was employed as head bunny and rumors had it that Carol puts in a lot of overtime. Suddenly, a car went screaming past us. Pete explained that it was Archie Gleason, driving a modified version of the turbo-car he used in the 1990 Indy 500. Continuing our conversation, he reported that Gail Stewart is apparently enjoying her new job as sanitation inspector at Brattleboro Union High School. He also announced that Johnny Stark has been appointed as the new head of the Planned Parent- hood Association of America. He added that Sisters Grace Jennison and Dorothy Woodard had together assumed management of Saint Joseph's Convent. By this time, we had arrived at the school, so I thanked Pete for the ride and got out. Upon entering the building, I went directly to the office, where I met Paul Soboleski. It seems that he had taken over his father’s job as attendance officer but misses quite a bit of work due to his participation in PGA golf tournaments. Paul offered to take me on a tour of the school and our first stopping place was the chemistry lab; to my surprise, I noticed that Lloyd had succeeded his father as chemistry teacher. He informed me that he picks up extra money by piloting the school helicopter. Next, we stopped in the Home-Ec section where Paul reintroduced me to Sue Smith, who was not only head of the Home-Ec Department, but also in charge of planning new dishes for school lunches. When we entered the computer room, I was shocked to see Kathleen McCarthy sitting there sur- rounded by mountains of crumpled program cards. She apparently was still trying to program her computer properly. Suddenly, the room began spinning; but this time I knew what to expect. When I opened my eyes, I found myself back in the locker room with all the guys yelling at me to pay off the last round, which I had just lost. That’s the first compliment we’ve had all year! Class History We began our Freshman year with John Stark, Vicki Stairs, Candy Wendel, and Lonnie Lisai as class officers. Our first big event was Freshman Reception. We all remember that Susie Jacobs had to choose between David Davignon and Lonnie Lisai. Patti Vosburgh stole the show with Gordon Goodell at the dance. The smokers’ club was already in full swing, so Patty Hitchcock and Irene Sharp gave a living color demonstration of “Lesson One, How To Smoke.” Our Freshman dance with the “Bitter End” was. as usual, a smashing success. The following year, most of us took the big step upward to the Sophomore Class. Officers were Dave Naski, Vicki Stairs, Karen McMennamin, and Jane Powers. Holly Robertson joined the class that year. We put on another fantastic dance that year with the “Van Buren Taxi”, which was quite successful — we only lost about thirty dollars! Bruce Anderson almost got suspended for leaving school without permission, but Mr. Drabik couldn’t make it stick — he was only half-way out the third floor window. Our other big event, instigated by a certain few from Saxtons River (whose names we don’t want to mention, but their initials are Maralyn Moore and Patty Hitchcock) was a huge walk-out which involved about twenty-five brave students. It took place on the day the final vote was taken on the new Union High School. The plan was to go around town, door-to-door, and ask people to be sure to vote. As they reached the end of the walk in front of the school, Mr. Davis ordered them all to return to class. They had something different to talk about for a few days. Most of us survived our Sophomore year, and became Juniors — upperclass- men. That year Debbie Frink, Lane Maxfield and Paula Schultz became part of our class. Officers were John Stark, Rick Sharp, Vicki Stairs, and Jane Powers. The year went into full swing with decorating for the prom, our “Garden of Eden”. Many of us spent more time running out for a smoke than stuffing a tree. When the big night came, it was beautiful. By popular request, music was provided by Leo Daniels and his Orchestra. When the time came, the girls marched around for what seemed hours, and finally the Queen was chosen. Linda Bartlett was the gor- geous queen, and Karen McMennamin, Punky Brennan, Kathy Daigle and Deb- bie Frink made up her court. Everybody had a good time that night; and a better time the next day, tearing the place apart. We all remember a group of girls, namely Irene Sharp, Jane Powers, and Kathy Daigle, who made a little trip to Fall Mountain one night before a football game. With their purple paint and brushes, they made some very nice designs on the goal posts and bleachers. They were quite proud of themselves until they got al- most back to the car and met the State Police. So. with a little Ajax and some hard work, the whole thing was straightened out. After many similar events, some of which we would like to forget, we took the final step up and became the Mighty Seniors. This year class officers were Rick Sharp, John Stark, Karen McMennamin and Jane Powers. Rick Sharp and his gang worked diligently for many months on the “Sampler”, which was completed after twelve extensions of the deadline. The first and only Senior Party was held at the C.C. Camp in Grafton. Enough said about that!! Senior privileges were put into effect at the beginning of the year, allowing those who had a study hall seventh period to leave school. For some it was unofficially extended to include periods one through six as well. Other than that, there were few major problems. This year it was our turn to take charge of and finance the Freshman Recep- tion. After a day of hearing the Senior song, written by Susie Jacobs and Kathy Daigle, sung to the tune of “Rubber Duckie”, we started the evening festivities. The first event was a dance to “At the Hop” by Sha Na Na. With refreshments from off-stage at regular intervals, the crew survived the night — we hope the freshmen did as well. We all remember the Senior Sliding Party at the Country Club. Many other things have happened in the past four years; some we will never forget, and some we hope we can. Peter White, Kathy Daigle, and Maralyn Moore have had some driving experiehces this year that they surely won’t forget right away. If they stay out of Athens, and off Green St., they may live to be twenty, or even twenty-five if they’re lucky. Yes, there have been good times, and bad times, and a lot of just plain times. And now we must leave these protective walls, where we “Entered to Learn”. Now we must go “Go forth, to learn more”.

T A hrough the course of this year, a great number of people have come in contact with this publication. Many of them have been underclassmen to whom 1 am very grateful. Some have been seniors appointed to the staff. To those who did their part to make this yearbook possible I am thankful and I will not mention those who did not. Two names stand out in my mind as having made contributions greater than any ever expected. I feel they should be men- tioned at this time. They are Kathleen McCarthy and Gail Stewart. In addition to these two I would like to thank Mrs. Thelma Bronk, Mr. Charles Russell and Miller Publishers. There is one other person without whom this publication would be impossible. This person is Mrs. Marjorie Orcutt. our adviser. I thank you all for your contributions to this publication. {•C-lC Snarp 128
