Text from Pages 1 - 102 of the 1958 volume:

ecliccition Hie Senior Class wishes to dedicate its yearbook, the CHALLENGER, to Pop King. Throughout our high school years Pop has been friendly and sincere to us and many times has given us good advice which has not only helped us in the past few years but will continue to help us in the future. He has helped us with our teenage problems, both in school and in our private lives. But we will never think of Top without remembering his almost const amt teasing and his grin that makes one wonder what is coming next. In conclusion we would like to thank Pop for «1i the time and effort, he has devoted to us. ALTHA E.

McWain, S. Lamere, N. Willis BAND The Band has met with Mr. Lynwood Feck every Thursday night at the Municipal Hall. There are approximately thirty-five students in the band and each have a uniform of royal blue caps and capes and white duck trousers with white buck shoes. These uniforms, as were the majorettes' uniforms, were bought by the IMCA, the Board of Trade, the P.T.A., and the parents and several individuals. Music stands were also donated by the IMCA. The majorettes are Nancy McWain, Sandra Meredith, Joyce Webster, Sandra Lamere, Nancy Willis, and Brenda Meredith. Most of the year they have been guided by Mrs. Paul Hunt and have learned two routines. They have just received their plumes. The band and majorettes have marched for the last two years in the Memorial Day parade. PATROL The school patrol was organized this year under the supervision of Mr. Willis Gray and State Trooper Clement Potvin. At the beginning of the school year only a High School Patrol was organized as both the high school and the graded school were being ex- cused at 3i30 P.M. Later on the high school was dismissed at 3 10, therefore, necessitating a Junior Patrol for the graded school. The boys have done a fine job this year, and they will be rewarded by attending a school patrol picnic this spring. To the Eigth Grade: Next year you will be entering Brighton High School so let us give you some advice and some examples of how we spent our four years in high school. To begin with, we don't advise you to do as we did, but do as we say. One September morn in 19$U, dressed in our Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes, with smiling faces, we made our entrance into Brighton High School. We remember distinctly the stares and pitying glances thatwe received from upper classmen as we bumped into each other in the halla After a day or two we settled down to a year of hardwork and fun. On September 10, we held our first business meeting. It was for the election of officers. They were choosen as follows: On September 1S , the big day came when we were to be initiated. On Friday morning our room was full of pupils dolled up in dresses skirts, boots, necklaces, lipstick, rouge, and some with blackened faces. We had to stay like this for the day. At 2:30 in the afternoon we were all in the main room and ready for the works. (We got them too.) The main event was when everyone took part in a make believe wedding. Wayne Gibson was the bride and Mary Moultroup, the groom. (Good couple, eh.) Melvin Ovitt was the minister. I bet you'll never see a wedding as mixed up as this one. The bell at 300 brought our initiation day to an end. We sold T-shirts with Brighton printed on them as a means of earning money. We were sorry to lose Faye Ann Canfield, Patricia and Earl Mc- Kinney, but we gained Carol Ann Elie. In the fall we were back in the old fimilar rooms of the high school, as Sophomores. This year it was our turn to initiate the Freshmen, which we did with great pleasure. We also made plans for the Sophomore Hop. On March 16, we had a movie from which we got a fairly large profit to add to our treasury. This year we lost Carol Ann Elie, but gained Johnny Sloan. In the fall of 5 6 we were again entering Brighton High School, this time as Juniors. President Vice President Ardys Chesney Lynn Brooks Secretary Treasurer News Reporter Student Council Representative Robert Osborne Miles Kilpatrick Barbara Meredith Ardys Chesney officers were elected as President Vice President Secretary Treasurer News Reporter Student Council Representatives The officers were elected as follows: Leon Seguin Donald Worth Barbara Meredith Ardys Chesney Wayne Gibson Iynn Brooks Mary Moultroup Robert Osborne The Junior-Senior Prom was the climax of our Junior year. It was based on the theme, To the Stars Through Difficulty. Ardys Chesney and Iynn Brooks were choosen as Girl State and Boy State representatives, respectively. The alternates were Barbara Mere- dith and Donald Worth. Barbara was also choosen to represent us at the Tulip Festival. In our Junior year we gained Brian Goulet. Our Senior year started of with a bang and we have been busy ever since. The Class officers were elected as follows: Donald Worth Ronald Chesney Charlotte Gray Ardys Chesney Wayne Gibson Leon Sequin Iynn Brooks Robert Osborne We were really busy this year with the planning of how to earn money for our class trip to New York, and the assemblying of our year- book. President Vice President Secretary Treasurer News Reporter Student Council Representatives With the closing of St. Mary's Academy we gained Norman L faille, William Bresse, and Jane Rabideau to our class, which made a total of twenty-three seniors. Now that we have given you some idea of what our four years of high school were like, we close with this thought in mind, Studying is the key to the future. Sincerely, Charlotte Gray Helen Daniels Hili i I have a story to tell and you probably won't believe it 111 Well, I don't care whether you believe it or not IJ Its certainly as true as anything I've ever said 11 Here goes: One day as I was driving down the street, of Roanoke, N.J., ray youngest son said to me, Daddy, will you stop at a candy store and buy me some Sooper Pooper Bubble Gum? So I pulled into a parking space and went in. I bought two pieces, one for my son and the other for me. Well, why not? When I finished unwrapping mine, I found two large sheets of paper. I unfolded them and it was my Sooper Pooper Bubble Gum Class Prophecy for the B.H.S. Class way back in 19$8. With trembling fingers, I started to read, and here's what it said: Carol Bailey had married Bud Woods, who was a selectman of Island Pond, and was just debating whether or not to start taxing children as soon as they started to walk. Carol is against it as they now have nine children already and are expecting quintuplets. Wendell Barry had married Pat Brown and was now the only Presi- dent of 'Butterfields Plant, to have lost all ten fingers in action. He is now considering converting the plant into a plastic limb factory. William Bresse was now commandant of all National Guardsmen in the country. ne has done much for the Guard; to mention only one, he made it an order that all the men have horses to ride and swords at their hips. It is said he revolutionized the Guard. Iynn Brooks had graduated from Annapolis and had hated the Navy so much he had transferred into the Marine Corps. He is a loyal 1st lieutenant in the Quartermaster Corps and is handing out sheets to the enlisted men. Ardys Chesney had won the Betty Crocker Cooking Contest for 30 consecutive years, but then had quit and decided to go big gane hunt- ing in Africa. After this, she settled down with Albert Schwietzer's son, to teach the lost tribes of the Sudan—to cook. Ronald Chesney had joined and become the president of the F.F.A. (Future Farmers of America) and had purchased a Gettysburg farm right next to the one Dwight Eizenhower used to own. He had 830 head of stock and has been teaching them, one and all; The Gettysburg Address 1 Helen Daniels had been married and divorced 37 times. She cur— rently holds the World's title for The most restless woman alive. She was on the trail of a big catch. Rock Hudson's son,--------------when he slipped and fell from the summit of Mt. Everest, when Helen was just about to nab himll Wayne Gibson had won the Nobel Peace prize for discovering a germ that could make nitro-glycerin at the rate of $ gal. a sec. He has just started on a project to make silk worms produce synthetic rubber. Brian Goulet had been the proud owner of a string of 5 0 service stations in the' Westraore vicinity. He was trying to prove a theory that a small city could support him. After this failed, he went to New lork City and opened a Ford station at Bronx ZooJ i I f-1 r ) Charlotte Gray had married Robert Gunn and then had gone to Aust- ralia 'Together they had braved the wilds of the Great Sandy Plain and had then written a book entitled, Why the Australian Road-Runner Runa 1 Now they are in Antarctica to see why penguins can't fly 11 Wayne Hodsden had been a traveling basketball maker. He had gone all over the country, pursued by Barbara I1 He was acclaimed by mil- llions as the only pro-ball player that never played. Just the other day, he patented his invention of paper backboards and was having the Globe-trotters try them out in Madison Square Gardens. Miles Kilpatrick had married and trained Ann Tracy to be a wrest- ler. Together they had thumped the country, over coming all competi- tion in tag matches. Also Mike is the owner of the largest (and only) gym in the world, where he teaches people to twist wrists correctly. Norman Lafaille is the owner of a 1,000 acre farm plot down in Louisanna. He has no hired help; he runs the place by himself, and raises peanuts. When asked recently, by the Daily Blah, why he raised only peanuts, he replied, Ah enjoys crackin' 'emit He also consumes the annual crop of u,888,567,6$2,256 peanuts each year. Barbara Meredith had, for 27 years, chased Zip all over the U. S., then decided to play 'hard to get' I So she packed her bag and moved to Tasmania. There she set up a ranch to develop hybrid Tasman- ian Devils. Two years later, Zip discovered she wasn't trailing him any more, so he joined her at her ranch and they were married. For all I know, they're still there, developing hybrids. Mary Moultroup had become an airplane wing walker. With John R. piloting the jet, they had really pulled up the cash. Yes-sir, they were doing fine; until one day John had just finished eating a bana- na and he tossed the peel out the cockpit window. It landed in the place where Mary was going to put her foot next. Luckily she landed in a crocidile infested river and emerged without a scratch. Robert Osborne had been the man to pilot the first toy balloon to the moon. There, he had met some Nabisco Spoon men and had become one of than. He is now on T.V. advertising his own new cereal known as, Rabbit's Rare—bits I It is billed as having 100 S lizard meat, shot with molasses and it is considered a delecacy topped with whipped cream and strawberries 11 Melvin Ovitt had inherited McBride's chicken farm and had, (by mistake), discovered and developed a live chicken without meat or feathers. He is making a fortune selling this specimen to anatomy classes all over the world. Recently he purchased a large car in the shape of a chicken;I Jane Rabideau had become a voice teacher and had opened a shop in Belgrade, Belguin known as, Bubble O'Toole's Harmony Grit Shorn 1 She has improved such voices as Zsa Sza Gaboob, Evlis Prelsey, Mikey Spal- ayne, and many others. Just now she is endeavoring to teach Lassie to reach high C I Leon Sequin had graduated from U. V. M. and is now President of D.S.C. (District Street Cleaners). He is currently trying to get his board of directors to approve and appropriation to get his men big brooms to replace the whisk brooms they are now using. He also urges his employees to address him as the Great White Father, since he is the only one in the organization who is clean 11 John Sloan had become a Faro dealer at the Silver-Shoelace in Reno, Nevada. He was affectionally called Blackie by the people he cheated. His trade-mark was a stacked deck and loaded dice. Soon the thrill dropped out of this profession so he went to Belguim and mar- ried Jane. Why, of course, he has a jobSWhile Jane teaches her pupils voice exercises, John deals them in for a friendly game of Faro. Gerry Wing had become the proud owner of that prize piece of horseflesh. Red Wing 1 It had been a present to him from Quimby's Club Inn Inc. With this prize, he married Joyce and moved to the Ken- tucky Blue-grass region. There is only one thing wrong. Red Wing is turning blue I She is known as, The Blue Terror I Thomas Worth had joined the Air Force and had become a pilot. Later, he married Sandra and had been tranferred to Cairo, Egypt 11 His job now is to fly camels to the south pole, where they are being raced against seals in the water.

We have two sons, Pete and Repete!! I'm still in the Marines, yeah.........you guessed it 111 Lieut. Brooks is ray C.O. Uh-huh....I hand out sheets, tool! •M cu p oem We hope you'll find this poem quite true. For it shall introduce our class to you. We're twenty-three strong and full of pep, So here we are, everyone in step. Here is the future wife of Bud Woods, With diamond ring and list of goods. Along with plans for new apparel. What is the date of the wedding, Carol? And here is the future hubby of Kiss Pat Brown, The reason he seems to wear a crown. With his old jalopy and a quarter for gas. He and Pat the evenings pass. Why - here comes little Billy Bresse. You'll never see him running a race! He never says much' but when he does - Look out I for he must have a cause 11 There's Lynn Brooks with his great big feet I Is that where he keeps those big meals he eats? Whenever an arguement, Lynn's always there. And when he's with Leon, it's quite a pairU Oops I We almost missed Charlotte, the meak of our class. But it appears that with Bobby she'll always pass. Since she's always typing 'till late after school. To a boss she should be a good, handy tool. But we can't miss Gerry, wre think you know why. And he has high hopes of reaching the sky.'? I We're all wondering when he'll go on a diet. And whenever he does it wall cause a riot. That can't be Tommy for his eyes are open I Whenever we see him, he's either sleepin' or loafin'. But from wEat we hear he's quite a dear. At least to Sandra he'll always appear. Weill Weill Here's our future Karine, Looking real sharp but quite serene. Miriam's one gal he's sure to snare; And you must admit they're quite a pair. And there is Ardys, the Senior brain. To be a teacher she's going to train. One day she's talkative; the next, a clam. Amd those are the days when you oughta' scram 1 Why here's Johnny and Jane, arm in arm. When they're together their both full of charm. With Johnny a machanic and Janie his wife. Together they should have quite a life 11 Who's that little girl struggling to pass? Why it's Mary Moultroup, the shrimp of our class I She may be little, she may be small. But when she's with Johnny she's six feet taU. Next is Mike, the height of our class. With his vocabulary he'11 always pass I Of twisting wrists he's never shy. The strength in his arms is the reason tdiy. Here's our artist and scientist, too. With all his paints and microbes new. A commercial artist he wants to be. And it's up to us to wait and see. Here is Brian, the Senior tease. And to leave you alone, he'll never please'. To the teachers dismay, he's late every morning. But he comes in singing — never mourning I Now look at Leon with his precious D.A. You can hear him coming a mile away I There's never a dull moment in one of his classes For he's always fooling with explosive gases! And here is Helen coming our way. Who never has very much to say. VJe hear she can really milk a cow. Would you care to give us a little know-how? Here comes the smallest of the boys of our class. To a Newport gal he really has class . In U.S. History he ne'er opens his books. We think he expects to pass on his looks ! Here comes the guy we all call Zipper . When it comes to a basketball he can really flip her We all know his time is spent up on the hill. But it's no mystery to us why he ne'er gets a bill!I Next comes our future farmer, to Randolph he's going We're sure that there, he'll make a good showing. He's quite a guy with a car we hear. For he only wrecks two or three a year I Now here is Melvin, he's everywhere. He never seems to have a care. You always see him fixing his car And when it runs, he travels far. And here is the guy with the blond, wavy hair. For ary one girl he doesn't much care. To know what he's thinking is always a quiz. And at suprising the girls he's really a whiz I And last but not least comes our tall, blonde Miss. Barb is her name and she's quite a dish. If you ever see her. Zip's not far away. And it's up to Meredith's that he likes to stay. And now we'd like to agree with you I When we're all together w£ are quite a crew'. Climb Though the Path be Rugged.

You've been our friend. Taught us to fend through life; So we sing our thanks. Second Verse You've been a light. Showing the right way on-ward. Though we must part. We stay in heart with you. Now we say good-bye. Chorus (to be sung after each verse) Brighton High, Brighton High, Farewell to thee. You'll be always near to us. Dear Brighton High.

After 15 wins during the season which gave us the Northeastern Conference trophy, we entered the state play-offs where we defeated Alburg (6l-5l), Waitsfield (55-31) and Craftsbury (52-38) thus winning the class S state championship trophy. After returning home from Barre with the state championship and an 18—0 record, we entered the Newport Tournament. In oar first game we defeated North Troy by a score of 56-35, which enabled us to meet Craftsbury once again. After winning this game by a score of 60-39, we were Northeastern Conference Tournament Champs. Our season was finished and we brought home two more trophies. At a banquet given in our honor by the P.T.A. we received maroon and gray jackets. J.V. BASKETBALL The J.V. team was coached by Lynn Brooks and Billy Bresse, both Seniors. The team won three games out of six. They were defeated by Orleans, Barton, and Sacred Heart, but they conquered Canaan twice and Barton once. The team was made up of mostly Freshmen and Sophomores. GIRLS' BASKETBALL The girls' team won the Northeastern Conference CLeague title and received the trophy at the Newport Tournament. The last champion- ship team was in 1953.
