DICKINSON THE 1957 NESHOBE ATHLETICS CUSSES HI DEDICATION MR. ARTHUR E. HUMISTON The Class of 1957 dedicates this issue of the Neshobe to a man who has spent many faithful years in the service of the school. He is a man who has been admired and respected by every student who has passed through the portals of Brandon High School. In our moments of despair, he would have words of encouragement; in our days of doubt, he would have words of wisdom; in our moments of glory, he would share in our happiness. We affectionately dedicate this yearbook to Art for a job well done, and for services that will not be soon forgotten. MRS. FOX English - Science MRS. CLIFFORD Math - Physical Ed. MRS. MOTLEY Social Studies MRS. HOLMES, Secretary; MR. WHALEN, Principal MR. FALLON Math - Physical Ed. MRS. BROWN Home Economics MRS. YOUNG English - Languages Dear Members of the Class of 1957: One of the strongest Influences in the development of a good school is the senior class. It is through the leadership and example of the senior class that a particular school can merit the distinction of being an outstanding institution. It is my feeling that your individual and co-operative endeavors have enriched the fine traditions of Brandon High School. From a purely scholastic standpoint you have achieved many notable distinctions, such as attaining the highest percentage of students on a class honor roll; having your representatives score as highly as they did in the Merit Scholarship competition; having a finalist in the General Motors Scholarship Contest. In the extracurricular areas you have provided Student Council leaders, GAA leaders, captains of the various sports, and you have attempted to make Brandon’s name synony- mous with good sportsmanship. I wish you continued success in your future plans and trust that you will become interested and conscientious members of your alumni association. Thomas J.

CLASS PROPHECY Dateline: May 20, 1970, Rutland Herald, Vermont’s Number One Newspaper. On Saturday evening in the Thomas Whalen suite of the Rockefeller Inn, Brandon, Vt., the most unique re- union of any high school class in the U. S. was held. Each member of the class appeared on the nationwide TV program. People Are Unique, To Say the Least. ” Thomas (TJ) Whalen acted as MC during the festivities. Many will remember him as the author of the best seller, Dramatic Influences in the Lives of Young People, or Teachers Die Young. During the telecast Mr. Whalen contributed $50,000.00 in the kick-off drive to pro- cure two helicopter buses, which will provide rapid transportation for tuition students at the new Brandon Union High School.

FERNANDEZ COACH FALLON For the first time in the annals of soccer history at Brandon High School, the soccer squad won the Marble Valley League Championship. Compiling an 8 and 1 rec- ord was not a simple task. Hard work, strict self-discipline and a sincere desire to win were the ingredients that brought us this coveted award. A large measure of our suc- cess must be attributed to Armand Racine, our captain, for his spirit, inspiration, and leadership. SOCCER TEAM COACH FALLON BASKETBALL The B.H.S. basketball squad did not set or break any scoring records this year, but we undoubtedly experienced one of the best seasons in the history of basketball at the school. For the first time in recent years Brandon was able to play both a defensive as well as an offensive game. Much of our success can be attributed to this, but mainly, it was due to everyone playing team ball and displaying a sincere desire to reach the top. The rebounding and shooting of Tom Dickinson and the superb all-round play of Charlie Memoe had a definite bearing on our success. Tom was named to the 2nd A11- M. V. L. team, and Charlie was given the honor of captaining the 1st All M. V. L. team. Both boys were selected on the Southern Vermont A11-Tournament team, and Tom was named the captain of this team. Tom and Charlie will be lost via graduation along with four other valuable seniors. VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM D. JUNE R. LEWIS P. WHALEN L Brandon 52 W.
