BARNA Science Math Principars Message Sincerely, Thomas J, Whalen Principal Office of the Principal Dear Members of the Class of 1958: May I take this opportunity of extending to you my sincere con- gratulations on being the recipients of a Brandon High School diploma. Each graduating class leaves an imprint on the traditions and in- stitutions of the school. This class has been no exception in view of the leadership exerted by class members in the areas of the school newspaper, the monitor system, honor study halls, and the student council. It is my hope that the school has equipped you to meet the many problems awaiting you in the future. I would wish to caution you against the feeling that you have finished your education - education is never a terminal project. Continue to be interested in school, community, church, and life.

Class History We started our Freshman year with 57 members, many of whom came from out of town, and whom we were all glad to see. After displaying our nightgowns for the benefit of the upperclass- men, we became full-fledged members of B.H.S. after the joys of Freshman Initiation. Later we elected our class officers, who were: President - -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- - Bob Marcelle Vice President - - - - --------------- - -Bill Widlund Secretary — — — — - -- -- -- — - — — - Marie Simonds Treasurer - -- -- - — - - - - — - — - - - —-- Bob Fales Student Council Representative--------------Gene Barrows Our home room advisors were Mr. Arnold and Mr. Frappier.

Our class sponsored the annual Harvest Dance, which made us feel very important, and was a lot of fun as well as being very profitable. At the beginning of our Junior year we elected: President-------------------------------------------------------Nancy Quelch Vice President-----------------------------------------Ralph Humiston Secretary --- -------------------------------------- Bob Rawson Treasurer---------------------------------------------Lucille Sargent Student Council Representatives-------Marie Simonds and Bob Fales Our class advisors were Mr. Fallon and Mr. Barna.

For our last year we elected: President--------------------------------------- Eileen Quenneville Vice President-----------------------------------------Bob Rawson Secretary----------------------------------------------Marie Simonds Treasurer —----------------- — ------- — — - — Bob Fales Student Council Representatives - - Lucille Sargent and Bill Widlund A lot of things happened in the Fall. We had only begun to feel our importance as Seniors when we had our class pictures taken. Even before the cries of Oh, aren't they awful! had died down, we began to work on our jazzy Senior play, One Mad Night, directed by Mr. Barna, which was really a tremendous amount of fun. Plans are under way for graduation and the future. Eileen Quenneville Rudy Charbonneau Class Will PAUL ASHLEY wills his jeep Vidus to Tom Dennehey.

Marie Simonds Bob Rawson Don Orvis Bob Marcelle r Class Prophecy The year is 1970 From the March 23 edition of the country's greatest newspaper, The Brandon Unlimited: Last night was the opening of the new Brandon Hilton, believed to be the largest luxury hotel in the world. A flock of Associated Press reporters and several mobile television units assigned to cover the gala event found themselves lost in the huge building. Searching for the festivities, they made a startling discovery. Concealed in one of the fabulous ballrooms of the hotel were the press-shy celebrities of the class of '58. Here for the first time is the amazing story of their successes. PAUL ASHLEY is manufacturing the newest hot-rods for teenagers. It’s called the Jet Jeep, designed from Paul's 1958 version. GENE BARROWS is head librarian at the Brandon Municipal Library. AUDREY BECKWITH is succeeding as the proprietor of Beckwith's Pharmacy. ELAINE BROWN is a test-driver for Ford Motor Company. Her friends call her Crash, so just think what her enemies must call her. BRENDA BRUSH is a television star and makes most of her appearances on the Steve Allen Show, replacing Steverino. PRISCILLA BUTLER is the new driver-education instructor at Brandon High. Mr. Fallon, now retired, says she is quite lucky, since Brandon is one of the first places to receive the new dual-controlled helicopters. NANCY CAMERON is head nurse at Brandon’s multi-million dollar veterinary hospital, one of the best known in the Otter Valley. RUDOLPH CHARBONNEAU is one of the most respected members on the city council. He has recently launched a project to build a new swimming pool on the roof of the high school. He hopes to install Esther Williams as a permanent fixture. EVA CLARK is one of the head scientists working on the project to colonize the planets. Next week she and some of her assistants plan to blast off for Venus. It is believed she will be the first woman to land on this planet. Unfortunately, she will not be the first to return to earth. ROBERT FALES is the owner of Ryan Motors, still using the slogan See Ryan Before Buying. Mr. Ryan, who now sells Fords, finds this very helpful. ANNETTE FAY has risen to fame as the world’s lightweight champion lady wrestler. ANN GREENO is one of several interior decorators working for Grace Kelly in Monaco. CLESSON HAYES is living in Brazil, where he and his beautiful wife own a coffee plantation. KENNETH HAYES is employed by Cadillac designing futuristic ash-trays for the 1999 El Dorado. ELEANOR HUCKEMS has married Junie and with their eight boys are running an armadillo ranch outside Austin, Texas. RALPH HUMISTON is manager of the new IGA Super Market, located on Conant Square. JEAN HUNT is the Pulitzer-prize winning author of How to Skip Detention and Still Go on Breathing. KATHLEEN JOHNSON is playing the leading role in the Broadway production Red-Heads Prefer Gentlemen. PATRICIA KEITH has married Wayne, and they are painting towers together. RICHARD KINGMAN is the star pitcher for the Brandon Braves. ROSE LANDON has become a hair stylist in Hollywood, California. LYNN LEWIS has started a gossip column in the Rutland Herald. This has tripled the circulation. ALVIN MAHONEY has joined the state police force in self-defense. He got tired of being picked up. KENNETH MAHONEY is a secretary for a large law firm specializing in divorce cases. ROBERT MARCELLE has finally married Marie. He has recently taken over the management of the Brandon Hilton.

DON ORVIS is billed as the Smallest Man on the Team for the Harlem Globe Trotters. SANDRA PIERCE has taken over in the gossip field for the late Louella Parsons. She and Lynne Lewis are both currently being sued for libel. NANCY QUELCH is chief ticket seller at Billings Bijou theater in the metropolis of Brandon. EILEEN QUENNEVILLE married Tom and has Quenntuplets. BOB RAWSON, alias Speed, was eaten by a turtle, while trying to catch up with his safari in Africa. Turtle soup, anyone? BYRON RICARD, after long toil and drudgery, finally forced Elvis Presley and Pat Boone out of business. He went into a trance two months ago when he broke a guitar string. BEVERLY ROBERTS achieved world fame in the scientific field by inventing a muffler for a jet engine out of a bean can. DAVE RUBY, after extensive study under the hood of his car, is editing a monthy magazine called Roaring Rods and Rear Mains. SHIRLEY RUSS can be found collecting the money from Brandon's some 3,800,000 parking meters. JUDY SANDERSON is making a careful study of the causes and effects of blushing. LUCILLE SARGENT jilted Bob and ran off with a film director from Iceland. She can now be seen starring in the torrid production, Love in the Igloos.

First of all, the paper is being printed instead of mimeographed, which cuts down on preparation time a lot, secondly, it is being published five times a year instead of only three, and last but probably most important, we are trying to start a policy of producing issues that are amusing but still serious enough to keep from being trivial. We hope that following years will see many new students who are interested in making our school paper really good. Driver Education TO SPEED In appreciation for your invaluable service Brandon High is fortunate to have a man whose talents extend to coaching soccer, basketball, and baseball. Our Mr. Fallon, an outstanding young coach, is be- ginning to make Brandon High known not only for its athletes, but for its fine sportsmanship. We are look- ing forward to many years of athletic successes. Soccer Team RECORD Brandon 0 Proctor 1 Brandon 1 Ludlow 0 Brandon 1 Chester 2 Brandon 1 Pittsford 2 Brandon 2 Proctor 5 Brandon 1 Ludlow 1 Brandon 2 Chester 1 Brandon 1 Pittsford 2 Although not as successful as during some previous seasons, the team was aggressive and had a lot of spirit and fight. Almost all of the games were hard- fought, making a win doubly important. With most of the starters returning next year, the coming season is very promising, despite the bad luck this year.

V. Cheerleaders Ski Team This is one of the newer organizations at Brandon High and, along with basketball, it will probably become one of Brandon's major winter sports. The team has had a few meets this year, and the boys have had a chance to experience competitive skiing. During the 58-59 season the team will compete regularly with surrounding schools. Under the expert guidance of Mr. Painter, one of the best skiers in the Northeast, and with the fact that all members of the team will be returning next year, the team should be very successful in the coming year. Golf Team Like the ski team, the golf team is one of Brandon's more recent ventures into the field of sports. Currently the team is practicing at the Pittsford Country Club, but Mr. Barna hopes it will soon be pos- sible to play right here in Brandon. Although the boys have met with little success this year, they feel that the fun of playing more than balances the lack of victories. We expect the team to swing into high gear next year, because we will have the same good coach and a returning team.

We are unable to report on this year's team because this book must go to press be- fore baseball season officially opens. Judging by the abundance of hitting strength, fine defensive material, and the ability of our coach, Mr. Fallon, the 1958 season should be very successful indeed. 3 2 1 3 1 2 1 7 1 3 3 4 0 WHELDEN COAL COMPANY, INC. 5 Railroad Avenue Brandon, Vermont Telephone 66 THE CROSBY INSURANCE AGENCY Brandon, Vermont Telephone 314 A Policy for Every Hazard Plus Prompt, Courteous Service RACINE TOWER CONSTRUCTION CO., INC.
