Senior Class History September —Back again for another happy year. Eager to begin our final lap at Castleton. Our President, Margaret Paige, with graciousness and steady aim efficiently carrying on her many duties. Our vice-president, Dorothy Orr, returns after three years, adding much with an artistic personality and quaint cordiality. Elizabeth McLaughlin, always smiling, cheerful, optimistic and sympathetic comes back after three years’ professional experience in West Rutland. Our secretary-treasurer, loyal, serious, easy-going Paul Hatch becomes also our obliging vocalist. Stella Tosi, conscientious worker, under¬ standing, friendly advisor of us all, delves further into Education. Ethel Toth, bubbling with her in¬ finite enthusiasm, enjoys life with us to the full. Earl Houston, studious, deep-thinking philosopher, dili¬ gently guides the destiny of our Birdseye. And our red-haired George Young, frank, dignified, sincere, aids and abets in all our schemes. October —State Teachers’ Convention in Burlington and there we are—meeting old friends, discovering new books, learning much. Student teaching in Rutland, Poultney, Castleton, Clarendon Flats. (Why did Paul have such a good time at the latter?) November —And we are busily planning for a Senior Dance with exotic Mexican scenery by our talented Stella. Home for Thanksgiving. The second semester begins. Spring is not far oft. The Castleton Conference, ably conducted by Miss Helen Van Guilder of Poultney. Interesting addresses by Dr. Surhie and Dr. Kate Wofford.
