CLASS HISTORY ELL, we made it! We were Freshmen. Yes, sir, we felt proud that morning as we walked up the steps to the old fHa! Halj High School. Now I know that a lot has been said about the school, and I don't want you to get me wrong about this. It was an adequate school as far as it went. You've heard of Room 20, no doubt. That was the combination indoctrination center, testing grounds for the latest paper airplanes, meeting place, assembly hall, and casino. Oh, yes, it was used as a study hall also. It was this room that we, the class of 1954, were herded into like sardines that first day. In this room we were confronted with Carl f Peop.te, your dues are payable now J Miller, who meant to say, Peo- ple, your dues are payable now! After things were rolling smoothly--although we gathered no moss, we did collect a Stone-we elected as our class officers: JOHN NOYES, President, SU- SAN HEBB, Vice President, DONALD OSBORN, Treasurer, and FAYE JOHNSON, Secretary. Mondays were the days when we were forced to eat sog dogs or starve. Also upon the third floor was a very interesting machine. At first glance, it looked like a Coke dispenser, but actually this was a very cleverly disguised gambling device. Who will ever for- get the joy of getting from five to ten Cokes for the price of a nickel or the sorrow of getting nothing? When Andy Natowich came around singing his theme song, You, You, You , ROBERT WARWICK, PAUL DYE, JOE TATRO, ARNOLD WILSON, KENNETH BENSON, KENNETH ORNE, and PHIL KEMPF jumped into their pads a.nd could be seen every afternoon until dusk upon the hill playing pick up sticks. Also playing something were, KATIE JONES, ADELE BAKER, GLADYS FRINK, JOAN FRENCH, BEVERLEY ROBERTS, SUSAN HEBB, GERALDINE SEARLES, BRADFORD SARGENT, DAVID MIL- LER, JOHN NOYES, PETER ESTABROOK, DON OSBORN, and CLIFFORD MARTELLE. First period every Monday and Tuesday they made the rafters ring with sweet . . . er . . . ah.. . . ah . . .? Out in front of the tooting, squirming mob stumbled ANN HIL- SON, ANN MALCOLM, GAIL FANNING, and MARILYN PAGE with their dropless batons. That year the magazine drive took in 33,386.40 The homeroom lieutenants who helped to make the drive a success were KENNY ORNE, BERT BALDWIN, BEV WEATHERHEAD, and KATIE JONES. Freshmen initiation! Do you know the date when we were initiated? You guessed it! It was Friday the 13th. Freshman Year 1954 vnnsoox That winter we were represented on the slopes by FRED DALEM, JOHN NOYES, PETER ESTA- BROOK, BERT BALDWIN, GUY DAVIS, and BILL EMERY. Oh, yes, we don't want to forget DON stern turn OSBORN. In 1950 the school had two basketball teams, one for the girls and one for the boys-I mean men. They were JO-ANN KEITH, GAIL FANNING, and ANN MALCOLM for the girls, and JOE TATRO, PHIL KEMPF, ARNOLD WILSON, ROBERT WARWICK, and PAUL DYE for the boys-I mean men! Now don't get the impression that all the Freshmen had was brawn! No sir! We had brains also. There was the writing type like LEWIS YOUNG and GAIL FANNING, who won a Cheer Writing Contest. We had the reporting type-BERT BALDWIN on the Spotlight Board. There was the representative type like PAUL DYE and KATIE JONES who stood up for our rights on the Student Council. Spring rolled around before we knew it and JOE TATRO, PHIL KEMPF, RONNIE TIER, and JOHN KOSHINSKY voluntered to rake off the diamond. Also up on the hill we could see KEN ORNE and JOE DYE sacheting around the oval with PAUL ODLE managing them. It surely sounds as though we had a fine start on our high school career, doesn't it! Here's NANCY MORRILL to tell you more about it. -Peter Webrter Erlabrook Sophomore Year The town of Brattleboro had at last taken pity on us poor, little, studious students who had been gal- loping through the dismal, creaking halls of the an- cient dungeon-er-high school for centuries and had built us a new one. All summer long we watched with bated breath as the beautiful building grew. Finally, in September of 1951, to our bitter disappointment, this structure was ready to receive the joyfulf?J pupils who were dying to get back to their studies. We moved in-bag and baggage. No sooner were we all crushed inside when the floor sank about two inches and the walls cracked, to our horror! Our new home didn't collapse, however, and we were forced to come back the next day and re- sume the old routine of shooting spit balls--er- studying! Even in the new school, Uncle Carl Miller, our cherished relic of the old high and the good old days was standing at the door with outstretched palms, beg- ging for alms. We, now super-superior sophomores, sat back- and have been doing so ever since-er-sat back and 21
