Yearbook of — Brandon High School Brandon9 Vermont Presented by The Class of 1960 Introducing Your 1960 Yearbook . Foreword As the school year passes, we pause to remember our friends, our classmates, our teachers, our parents who have all played a part in this, our senior year. We are proud to present to you the 1960 Neshobe in which we have preserved these memories. Contents FACULTY SENIORS CLASSES ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS ADVERTISEMENTS Our Advisors MR. KELLEY MRS.

It would seem appropriate at this time to give expression to my feelings regarding your class and my under- standing of its character. The aspects of your character which immediately come to mind as your greatest strengths are in the area of citizenship. Each and every one of you have been excellent school citi - zens. The good judgment which you have shown in selecting your leaders down through the years and your willingness to follow your chosen leaders are indications of this. The class has constantly expressed a desire to serve the school, community, state, and nation. Your contributions to international welfare agencies have also been noted. As you know, the student body looks to the seniors for leadership. The exemplary conduct of the class of 1960 has exerted a very healthy influence on the school. You have applied yourselves diligently to your studies and have taken a very active part in the co-curricular program. Your cooperativeness has made it a very pleasant task for the entire staff to work with you and for you. We will certainly miss you and welcome you back whenever you have the opportunity to visit us. I cannot close without injecting a personal note. You have played a very important role in making this a very memorable year for me. Your support and loyalty have meant a great deal. The various adjustments which naturally follow with a change in administration have been much easier as a result of the many fine qualities which you so amply possess. They have been the occasion for frequent favorable comment on my part as I have talked with friends and other educators, both here in Brandon and around Vermont. Yes, you will be remembered. Best wishes, Lloyd A. Kelley We are proud to dedicate our yearbook to the first ski coach of Brandon High School, Mr. Richard Painter. We will always remem- ber him for his patience, understanding, and genuine interest in our class. Not only was he a great skier and instructor, but he was a real friend to us all. I Thomas J.

Class ALBERT PRATT NANCY CROSBY Our class PRESIDENT and SECRETARY throughout our four years. We started our four years at Brandon High with a class of seventy-three members. Our officers were: President - ALBERT PRATT; Vice President - ANNE RAWSON; Secretary - NANCY CROSBY; Treasurer - LYNDA HUMISTON; with JULIE SIMONDS and CHARLIE NEEDHAM as Student Council representatives. We officially began our high school career in the traditional manner at Freshman Initiation with the boys dressed as babies, and the girls dressed as cavemen. The humor of the occasion eased our tension, and we proceeded to have a wonderful year. We sponsored a Christmas Dance which we scheduled for the stormiest night of the winter! Our class advisors for the year were Mrs. Motley, Mrs. Clif- ford, and Mrs. Young. For our SOPHOMORE year we re-elected ALBERT PRATT, President, and NANCY CROSBY, Secretary. Others elected were: Vice President - JIM SPELLMAN; Treasurer - RODNEY GIBEAULT; Student Council Rep. - JULIE SIMONDS and RICHARD DUTTON; Youth Center Rep. - JEAN CARLETON and FRANCES RUSSELL. We sponsored the Sophomore Harvest Dance with Duke and the Swingbillies from WCAX-TV. At Christmastime, we had a big class party in the gym. Mr. Painter and Mr. Barna were our class advisors. OUR FRESHMAN INITIATION: TOM-AL I worship thee because thou art a mighty, noble upperclassman. CLASS VICE PRESIDENTS: ANNE RAWSON - Freshman Year JIM SPELLMAN - Sophomore - Junior Years TOM WHITTAKER - Senior Year History At the beginning of our JUNIOR YEAR, we elected the fol- lowing officers: PRESIDENT - ALBERT PRATT; VICE PRESIDENT - JIM SPELLMAN; SECRETARY - NANCY CROSBY; TREASURER - RICHARD UNGER. Our activities for the year were: the Junior Prom, the annual Junior Ham Supper, a Sadie Hawkins Dance, a Cake Walk, and a food sale. The theme of the Junior Prom, held on May 22, was Paris Holiday. ” The gym was neatly decorated with the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, sidewalk cafe, and other French decorations. Geldert's Orchestra provided the music which set the atmosphere for a night to remember. Our Ham Supper was a great success with the boys waiting tables. Our class advisors were Mrs. Barna and Mr. Painter. At the start of our SENIOR YEAR, we elected the following officers: PRESIDENT - ALBERT PRATT; VICE PRESIDENT - TOM WHITTAKER; SECRETARY - NANCY CROSBY; TREASURER - STEVE HOOKER. Our Student Council representatives were LINDA BECK- WITH and RICHARD UNGER, and our Youth Center representative was JIM SPELLMAN. Our Senior play, OUR TOWN, was held on November 13 and 14, with Mrs. Fox directing. It was a big success and well worth the long hours of rehearsing. We sponsored a Senior Kid Dance in November with the sen- iors dressed as they would have been during their early childhood. In February we had a Cherry Tree Dance with Bert Severy and Ju- lie Simonds as co-chairmen. Preseau's Orchestra played for us. Everyone seemed to have a swell time. Our advisors for the year were Mrs. Barna, Miss Force, and Mr. Kelley.

(Jur down By Thornton Wilder Our sincerest thanks go to Mrs. Fox for her tireless effort and expert direction in the production of our play, presented in the B.H.S. gym on November 13, 14, 1959. Stage manager, Charles Needham, outlines the history of Our Town, Grover's Comers, N.H. and introduces the Gibbs and Webb families. The second act concerns the love affair and wedding of young George Gibbs, Fletcher Coolidge, and Emily Webb, Betsy Leake. The third act takes place in the cemetery on the hill were Emily is introduced to those who have gone before her. She is wishful to go back to life but is shown how futile it is to return; how living people, so occupied with petty thoughts and occupations, know little of true joy and happiness. Truth is to be found only in the future. ROW 1; C. Needham, J. Spellman, Mrs. Fox, F. Russell, B. Brown. ROW 2: J. Humiston, V. Blake, R. Gibeault, G. Patnode, K. Wisell, J. Petty, B. Johnson, B.

The date is June 30, 1985. Present is the class of 1960 - or most of them anyway. The spot light is on a group of people, many of whom have acquired very outstanding posi- tions during the past twenty-five years. For instance . . . LINDA BECKWITH is now a private secretary for the president of the Rexall Company. No more soda-making for Linda! GINNY BLAKE made Steve Hooker grow long curls so she could practice her beautician talents on him. BILL BROWN now has a steady job sweeping the sidewalk in front of Brown's k Pharmacy. It is no longer his father's - Tom has taken over. WALT BRYANT has found that people on the moon are nine feet tall. He plans to stay there for a while - it seems good to be the shortest. JEAN CARLETON is making her way up in the world of music. She may even become another Satch-mo! BUD CARPENTER, we discover, has the teenagers all over the country in a spin. Recorded on the Orwell Label, his latest platter is entitled Good Old De- tention. FLETCHER COOLIDGE has become world famous for his eight-volume ency- clopedia. It is called Ways to Baffle English and P.A.D. Teachers. NANCY CROSBY is so certain that cars will go out of style that she bought some horses and hung up a sign that reads Rent a Horse - 500 an hour. We furnish carriage or saddle. TOM DENNEHEY is now a missile expert. After the destruction of Cape Cana- veral, he was stationed on the moon. YOLANDE DESFORGES, we hear, has started a pachyderm taxi service in India. DICK DUTTON is running a repair shop for souped-up rockets. He caters mostly to the younger generation, but we hear that Mr. Kelley recently brought his in for a grease job. ELAINE FALES has started a new fad. She is teaching the Norwich faculty how to become good cheerleaders. ARLENE FALLON has become famous after she won the first race at Indianapolis. It seems she took a wrong turn in the city traffic and ended up on the raceway. JASKA FORGUITES is now the girls' Phys. Ed. teacher at U.V.M. Her basket- ball team just won the national championship. RITA GAUTHIER is now the winning contestant on the new TV program entitled Who's Right? . ROD GIBEAULT is now a Spanish teacher in Mexico. ALLYN GRIFFIN is the new band leader at O.V.U.H.S. PAULINE HANFIELD is teaching bookkeeping at Orwell High School. JOAN HARRIMAN met a rich doctor after graduation and moved to Boston. The last we heard, though, they weren’t getting along during the month of Novem- ber because she missed hunting season. STEVE HOOKER is now surrounded by cannibals in deep, dark Africa and is tell- ing them how to make Papa-Hokum-Stew instead of Papa-Hooker-Stew. LYNDA HUMISTON has invented a pair of wings for her horse and is happily flying around in space selling Mother Goose Rhymes to the Martians. BEN AY JOHNSON is now happily established as a meat cutter in the Grand Union. BARB KEITH is now living in Rome, Italy where she owns her own pizza parlor. DENISE LAMOUREUX is still trying to persuade everyone to buy Buicks. It seems to be a strange hobby for she is one of the secretaries in the Ford plant. YVONNE LAMOUREUX surprised us all for she is now head clown at the World of Mirth Circus. BETSY LEAKE decided to bring theatrical culture to the Belgian Congo where she disappeared in 1973. They say she married a medicine man. DORIS MANY is doing a great job in her hot-rod factory. No one can do with- out a Many-Rod. MAUREEN McKEEVER is now teaching home economics in one of the leading girls' schools in the country. BUTCH MUMFORD has a daily TV program which Mrs. Fox's present students wouldn't miss. He dedicates his program, How to Argue, to all the teachers who have ever had to put up with him. CHARLIE NEEDHAM is now a great doctor. He has done a great many things, but the greatest is yet to come. He is now working on a cure for appendicitis in flies. CHRISTINE PALLUOTTO now has the largest record collection in the world. Now that she has all the records, she is starting to collect the recorders! i GEORGE PATNODE is the new singing teacher at the Brandon Graded School. He started off the year with Three Blind Mice in four parts. JILL PETTY is star center for the Powder-Puffs, sister team to the Globe- trotters. AL PRATT, a famous architect of New York City, has just designed a plastic bubble to cover the city during rainstorms, thus saving wear and tear on the umbrellas. ED PRESEAU is now playing solo guitar in the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. RED PROCTOR disappeared the day after graduation, and no one has seen him since. He is probably playing Rip Van Winkle. JOHN QUENNEVILLE is raising albino French poodles. It must be catching be- cause he now has pure white hair. CLAIRE QUESNEL is now making candy in the new Candy Kitchen chocolate plant here in Brandon. BUZZER RACINE, realizing his great talent for acting, went to Hollywood and got a job with a famous studio. His present title is Head Custodian. ANNE RAWSON has started a thriving new business. She preserves horses' tails and sells them to high school girls for Pony-tails. JoANN ROSS is now a drummer with the U. S. Army Bana. FRAN RUSSELL is now editor of the Brandon Free Express.

We heard he had an argument with his pet lioness, Fifi, and we are wondering who won. JEAN SENECAL is now a ballet dancer with the Russian ballet. BERT SEVERY is running a riding school in Hollywood. She was signed by Six-Gun Studios to teach their cowboys to stay on their horses. JULIE SIMONDS is now the new leader of the O. V. U. H. S. Rubber Band. DAVE SNOW is principal of the new high school. The students have a two- hour school day with ten-minute classes. The rest of the time is consumed in the swimming pool, golf course, or student lounge. JIM SPELLMAN is now leading bopster of the U.S. His unique style has parents baffled. Of course he's getting older, but then girls go for older men.

Too bad, though, there hasn't been any word from him since. EARL WHEELER is now a hot rod racer for his own company. He hasn't had an accident yet.

Band One of the most active organiza- tions of Brandon High School is the band. This year we have nearly sixty mem- bers ranging from fifth graders through seniors. Every Wednesday the gym is cov- ered with instrument cases, and strange tunes can be heard. Some are from Mr. Ianni, but most of them are from Everyone knows how fortunate we are in having Mr. Ianni for our band director. Director: MR. IANNI Our program for the year consists of a Cake Walk, the Rutland Christmas Parade, Christmas and Spring Concerts, an exchange con- cert with Morrisville, participation in the Memorial Day Parades at both Middlebury and Brandon, and the May All-State Music Festival in Burlington.

This year's chorus is one of the largest ever with a total of over seventy members. After many weeks of rehearsing, we presented a combined Christmas Concert with the band. Our next big event was the Spring Concert in March. On May 5, 6, and 7, five of our members attended the All-State Music Festival in Burlington. Our chorus, directed by Mrs. Rebecca B. Holmes, is one of the most popular activities in school. Singing is a re- warding pastime, especially when it is enjoyed by so many.

BARN A SENIOR ADVISORS The SCIENCE CLUBS play a very important part in the co-curricular program here at B. H.S. Their members are those students who show a definite interest in science and wish to learn more in this field. Mr. and Mrs. Barna and Mr. Blodgett advise the clubs in their activities and are always available to give greatly appreciated advice on science projects. In the fall the Senior Science Club presented an excellent assembly program which was of interest to us all. Experiments were performed, and many demonstrations were given. Each spring the science clubs sponsor their own science fairs within the school. The winners then go on to the State Fair to com- pete with students from all parts of Vermont. The Senior Science Club is registered with the national organization of Science Clubs of America. MR.

The Student Council would like to thank both Miss Force and Mr. Kelley for their guidance and sincere interest in the welfare of the students and in the activities of the council. Council Members Youth Center President: LYNN MARSETTE Vice President: MAURICE RACINE Secretary: RICHARD JONES Assistant Vice President MARY FLETCHER Treasurer: FLETCHER COOLIDGE OFFICERS The Youth Center was organized in 1957 by the Student Council.

The Brandon Rotary Club now sponsors the Youth Center giving it the needed support. The Youth Center is held in the Town Hall and is open on Friday and Saturday nights if the weather permits. Many games such as ping-pong, pool, and bowling are available as well as a TV and record player. S.C. Rep. Kenneth English.

YOUNG Book Clubs Under the leadership of Mrs. Wyman and Mrs. Fox, the Junior and Senior Book Clubs make it pos- sible for the students to purchase paper-backed edi- tions of the latest literature and current best sellers. ” The club meetings give the members a chance to discuss and exchange their books and opinions of them. Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service are the four qualifications for N.H.S. Students exemplifying these characteristics are inducted once each year into the chapter in an impressive candlelight service. Once a member, a student must maintain his scholastic average.
