Text from Pages 1 - 64 of the 1954 volume:

Presented by THH SENIOR CLASS BRANDON HIGH SCHOOL Brandon, Vermont We, the class of 1954, have spent four short years study- ing, working, and having a good time together. We have all been striving for the day when we would graduate; and now that it is nearly here, many of us wish this was the year 1950 once more. None of us will ever be able to forget the class- mates, teachers, games, and other activities which have meant so much to us during our high school days. One of our foremost dreams was our class trip which be- came a reality in April when we went to New York. We en- joyed this tremendously because we knew that it was our own hard work that enabled us to go. All of us wish to express our gratitude to the faculty, our parents, and everyone else who helped make our activities successful. I personally wish to express my thanks to Mr. Whalen, the staff, and many others who made this edition of THE NESHOBE possible. Judy Trombly 'Dedication Dedicated to MR. THOMAS J. WHALEN For giving us guidance our Freshman year and for ail of the hours spent working with us on our yearbook. To MISS MADELINE CROSBY For her never-failing help during our Junior year. To MR. ROBERT ARNOLD For his tireless efforts in making our Senior play such a tremendous success. The sweetest lives are those to duty wed. Whose deeds, both great and small, Are close-knit strands of an unbroken thread, Where love ennobles all. The world may sound no trumpet, ring no bells, The book of life the shining record tells.

FRESHMAN YEAR: We, the class of '54, started off as a large class. We did not hold our class election for quite a while after school started, because we didn't know all our classmates. After we got acquainted, the following class officers were elected: President, Phil Williams: Vice President, Judy Trombly; Treasurer, Barbara Bassett; Secretary, Marcia Short; and Student Council Repre- sentative, Steve Singiser. Our class advisor was Mr. Whalen who did a great deal to help us this first year at Brandon High. For money-making activities we had a number of food sales and a Chinese auction, followed by a Come as You Are Dance. SOPHOMORE YEAR: We started our Sophomore year with $177.58 in the treasury. Our class advisor was Mr. Chase, and class officers were: President, Mike Casey; Vice President, Edwin Lewis; Treasurer, Leigh Ross; Secretary, Marcia Short; and Student Council Representative, Judy Trombly. For money-making activities this year, we had food sales. JUNIOR YEAR: Our class advisors this year were Miss Kelly and Miss Crosby, and class officers were: Pres- ident, Judy Trombly; Vice President, Edwin Lewis; Treasurer, Benny Hack; Secretary, Phil Williams; and Student Council Representative, June Lewis. For money-making activities, we had food sales, a supper. Junior Prom, sold school sta- tionery; and for our Junior play, we presented Meet Corliss Archer, which was directed by Miss Kelly. It was a big success, and we made a profit of $139.00 on the play. Class gifts to the class of 1953 were presented by June Lewis and Phil Williams. SENIOR YEAR: This year was our busiest, but the most fun. It took a lot of planning and hard work, but everyone did his share so it really wasn't too difficult. Our class advisor was Mr. Bechtold, and class officers were as follows: President, Mike Casey; Vice President, Barbara Nicklaw; Secretary, Phil Williams; Treasurer, Marcia Short; and Student Council Representative, Edwin Lewis. Our money-making activities were food sales, the Senior store, where we sold milk, sand- wiches, and candy. We also sold Christmas cards and school stationery. We presented The Gorilla for our Senior play which netted a profit of $230.00. The director of our play was Mr. Arnold. The highlight of our Senior year was our class trip. Marcia Short Jeannette Quenneville We, the Senior Class of 1954, of Brandon High School, being declared mentally deficient and physically unbalanced, do hereby will and bequeath to the Junior Class, our Senior room, Sen- ior store, and anything else you might find of minor value. To the Sophomores, we will our books and our ability to study at least once during each term. To the Freshmen, we will our quiet and sincere personalities. Individually we will: Benny Hack wills his ability to get locked out at Music Festivals to David Center. It's not very difficult, Dave. Ed Lewis wills his photography ability to Norman deLancey. It's quite amusing at times. Norm. Charlie Matott wills his way to get along with girls to Galen Hutchison. It's really not so hard, Galen. Rod Goodspeed wills his silent roles in class plays to whomever wants a good soft job. Mike Casey wills Henry to anyone who will promise to take good care of him. Joe Whalen wills his marks to Ronnie Hombeck, only we don’t think they will help much. Eugene Lizotte wills his nickname to Eddie Darling. It seems Eugene tired of it long ago. Kenny Williams leaves his quiet ways to the entire Junior Class. This, we’ll have to seel Bob Rockwell wills his ways of talking back to whomever dares to try it. Bob Johnson wills his height to Wayne Platt because he knows Wayne doesn't need it in the first place. Shirley Welch leaves her long distance from home to Debbie Short. You'll have to start out much earlier for school now. Jeannette Quenneville wills her numerous jobs to whomever feels like being run ragged. Avis Stone wills her clarinet to Grace Baker. It seems that Grace's just won't play the right notes. Dick Sargent wills his good manners to John Aines. You better make up some of your own, John. Phil Williams leaves his days of sleep in English class to Bob Young. Since you're both going to Norwich, you might as well get rested up. Barb Taylor wills her ability to get in trouble to the Freshmen, although we hardly think you need it. Shirley Greeno just wills anything to do with school—period! Judy Trombly leaves her Editor-in-Chief jobs to anyone who likes to hear complaints all day. Marcia Short wills her job as treasurer of the Senior Class to any of the Junior boys. We under- stand they like to work with figures also. Sheila Rowe wills her temper to Janet Brown. Some drastic changes will have to take place. Barb Nicklaw wills her personality to Tom Arthur. Let us know when the great event happens. Helen Bertrand wills her ability to always forget something to Cindy June. You won't have any trouble at all, Cindy. Duane Hall wills his smile to Harold Nicklaw. It comes in handy many times, Harold. Gloria Aldridge leaves her carefree ways to any Junior who has a habit of worrying too much. Barb Bassett wills her ability to get along with everyone to Linda Brown. It isn't the easiest thing in the world, Linda. Pat Fassett wills her curly hair to Sandy Retell. You won’t have to bother with it anymore now, Sandy. Anita Whittemore wills her height to Audrey Lee. Now you can feel above everybody, Audrey. Leigh Ross can't will anything because he needs it all. Ted LaRock wills his ability to get along with Mr. Arnold to Pete Reed. Do try a little harder, Pete. June Lewis wills her daring thoughts to certain Juniors. We'll let you figure out the rest.

Remember when we used to come here! By the way, what did you order? Ben: Three awful-awfuls and a Pig’s Dinner as a starter! Dick: I see you haven’t lost any of your old habits! Have either of you heard from any of the kids? Barb; Gloria is now special advisor to the President on social work in foreign countries in con- nection with the United Nations Committee on Human Rights.

Barb; Rod is now running his own farm and has three little Goodspeeds helping him! Ben: Helen is doing work of an undetermined nature!

Now she is secretary to a large New York executive, and has been considered for a higher position. No longer will she use a chair, but will use the boss’s knee! Barb: Bob Johnson is pitching for the Boston Red Sox. He had a record last year of thirty-six wins and four defeats. His batting average was .388. Ben: June Lewis took her nurses' training at the Mary Fletcher Hospital and now is working in New York City where she is using most of her experience taking care of little Caseys (whatever they are)! Dick: Ted LaRock has a coast-to-coast trucking business and, believe it or not, has been mar- ried for some time. In his house, five little pebbles are kicking around! Barb: Barb Nicklaw, we hear, is very busy teaching Home Economics at Vassar College. We also learn from the grapevine that she owns a home bakery, run by three little bakers!

During the course of her employment, she has made very rapid strides and is doing a remarkable job. V. V ] Barb: Gene Lizotte has distinguished himself in the field of band music.

He helped build Brandon's multi- million dollar high school. Among his other achievements, he was just elected president of the B.D.A. We understand that things in Brandon now are really popping! Barb: We recently received a letter from Marcia who is now in London. She and Howard re- cently bought a chain of motels. They think it's cheaper than taking a trailer cross-country on their various trips. Ben: Bob Rockwell is now married and is running his own A P in Troy, New York. He just couldn't resist the grocery business. Dick: Avis is busy as head nurse at Putnam Memorial Hospital.

He seems to have made quite a hit with the teenagers. Ben: Barb Taylor is also a nurse. She is following her career in California. However, she is fighting a losing battle with some outside interests. Dick: Judy graduated with honors from Ithaca and started work at W.R.G.B. However, her talent was soon discovered, and she may be seen on N.B.C.'s TODAY. She is assistant to J. Fred Muggs. Barb: Dick Sargent is leading in the U.S. Olympic Ski Team. We hear he ran first in the Down Hill and Slalom combined for two years. Ben: Joe Whalen is now teaching driver education at Brandon High. Mr. Fay has retired??? J?

Ben: Anita is happily married and lives in Whiting on a big farm. She finds that farm life is all that she expected it to be. Dick: Phil Williams has been appointed vice-president of the Curtis Publishing Company. He now reads the magazines instead of selling them. Senior Prophets: Barbara Bassett Benny Hack Richard Sargent ___________________________________________________I_____________________________________J ____________________________________________________ I GLORIA ALDRIDGE Will she be an old maid Or just plain be a maid? What she'll be is hard to say But we will all find out someday. BARBARA BASSETT Barbara has a different plan With Gordon and a spot of land. Then ten years later things are grand. With ten little Indians all in hand. HELEN BERTRAND Helen used to be so quiet Now she never fails to cause a riot. In front of detention hall she comes to a halt, And pleads with teacher, It wasn't her fault. MIKE CASEY Mike will be always on first base, He does his subjects and sports with grace; A woman-hater he used to be Til Cupid set him on a spree. PAT FASSETT If you hear a giggle and look around, Pat and Anita are usually found; Then at four-fifteen you'll find them walking, For after school they’ve stayed for talking. ROD GOODSPEED Rod is one who's liked by all, His sunny smile fills the hall; As the Gorilla he won his fame. Now Roderick is a famous name. SHIRLEY GREENO Shirley who is cute and shy Walks around with her head held high, She isn't conceited by any means. We wish her success in all of her dreams. BENNY HACK Benny is our music man His major interest is the band. He wants to make music his entire life, And still thinks Bach can replace a wife. DUANE HALL Duane is more the roving kind. Nothing's going through his mind. College or Service, whatever he's planned, We're sure his career will turn out just grand. BOB JOHNSON Bob's always ready with a reply, For a wisecrack from him we can rely; This kid is really on the beam, And will long be remembered for his Eddie Arnold theme. TED LAROCK School is something of a bore to Ted, His textbooks usually remain unread; His mischief and jokes we hear everyday. And as our chief comedian, we rate him an A. ED LEWIS Ed is always dressed in taste. And never does his work in haste, He's usually shooting at someone With his camera—not a gun. JUNE LEWIS June has pep and energy And is now employed at the bakery, Whatever course she decides to find; Mike will tag along behind. EUGENE LIZOTTE Eugene is a noisy guy, His laughter raises to the sky; On his trombone he plays, both jazz and bop, While everyone cries, Rosa, please stop! CHARLES MATOTT Charles, with his mustache he will ride, Over the waves and with the tide; If his ship should go below, To pretty mermaids, he'll say hello. BARBARA NICKLAW A scholar in her classes, Barbara Annie is a whiz; When reports come out she passes. With 100 on every quiz. JEANNETTE QUENNEVILLE From Orwell Jeannette did to us come. And is usually found on the run, She worked for Miss Crosby, the class, and A.A.; So she usually has a busy day. BOB ROCKWELL Bobby Rockwell, although he's shy For many miles the girls will sigh, We aren't quite sure wnat he will be, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. LEIGH ROSS On the dance floor he dips and twirls, And 'tis said he's very fond of girls; Next year he wants to climb towers high, We wonder if those sprouting wings will help him to fly. SHEILA ROWE Daydreaming, she does from bell to bell. Each teacher tries to break the spell; But how can she concentrate on Shakespeare or Burns, When it's for LeGrand her heart ever yearns. DICK SARGENT Snow will bring a smile to Dick For from skiing he really gets a kick; But someday he will have a wreck, And wind up with a broken neck. MARCIA SHORT Marcia is our loveliest lass, But from those big brown eyes comes plenty of sass; Soon Howard will come marching home. Then Marcia no longer will roam alone. AVIS STONE Avis with her real quick wit Never fails to make a hit; Next year into nurses' training she'll go, Then marry a doctor and roll in the dough. BARB TAYLOR Sports, dances, school and all, Barb is always on the ball, She says she wants to be a nurse. So Miller and Ketcham, get out your hearse. JUDY TROMBLY Judy has a temper hot And seems to argue quite a lot; In her father's car she does drive, While we ail wonder how she stays alive. SHIRLEY WELCH Shirley is quite silly Her giggle really is a dilly; A commercial career is her aim, We hope will come to her much fame. JOE WHALEN Joe has a million dollar grin Which is continually making friends for him; Then with these friends he'll argue all night, And in the morning still insist that he's right. ANITA WHITTEMORE Anita is a quiet gal Pat is her closest pal, But out of school she's not asleep, For as they say, still water runs deep. ” KEN WILLIAMS Ken is woman-hater Number One, From every girl he wants to run. But someday, on girls he no longer will frown, And be the Number One wolf prowling the town. PHIL WILLIAMS Phillip with his roving eye, Leads everyone to believe he's shy, And although to each girl, he brings mucn joy, He still remains his mama's boy. «44 SotUfr Our footsteps now leave Brandon High But our hearts remain forever, And to our friends we say goodbye Our futures we’ll endeavor. While we were learning it was fun Yet sometimes hard to do. The work was shared by everyone In deeds both old and new. These past four years to us were grand Our teachers kind and true, Have never failed with helping hand Our special thanks go to Avis Stone, Benny Hack, and Gloria Aldridge for their excellent song for the Class of 1954.
