H. S. 4 Our Student Council Is made up of one representative from each class. W« have two seniors In It because one is our president. We fre each supposed to do our Job well for the general good of our own class or the school itself. Sometimes our patient and long suffering president, Messier, has a hard time to keep us all calm, under his control, and to the point, but somehow he manages; we don t know how. We do all we can for the school Itself, and try to make our council work for the general good � f it. Some of our members are very active in it, maybe too much so at time?, and others are not active enough when they should express their own •pinion� . We try to pleaee everyone but usually after a meeting some representative is disgusted or even enraged at the others. We often misunderstand each other or the adviser,and sometimes the adviser misunderstands us. But, that all goes with a law making body. Also, sometimes we fail to reach decisions on some topic because we can't decide what we do want. In this case,almost always, someone has to give in to the ethers. Although we sometimes get off the pcint we end up in some kind of decision which doesn't please everyone In the school. But, wo have learned that we can't plea.se everyone. We ore ell trying to do our best, to the best of our ability and the best we know hoV. We know we get crltlolsed at times but Just remember, the student council members were voted In by you. We all thiflk our president 1« doing a very good J� b. If you, ns a class member, would like to have something dis- cussed in the Student Council and voted upon, speah to your class representative and he will do his best. So from this point of view, let's all get together, try to understand our Student Council better, and make the best use of the Student Council itself. Elizabeth Myott '58 Russia's Intercontinental Missile Russia has bee� boasting of an intercontinental missile that with an atomic-warhead could find and wipe out any city in the world. Although the Russians have sent up Sputnik II, I doubt very much If Russia, has an Intercontinental missile 2 which could find certain clt;y in the world. It's rulte a tent to boost two satellites into outer space, but that hasn’t too muon to do with accuracy. Accuracy is what I am question- ing. ive rfm’t know for sure whether the Russians really have an intercontinental missile or not, hut I am fairly sure that if they have got one, it isn't nearly as accurate as they say it is. I think Russ1a is just trying to scare the free world into staying out of her way and her business. If Russi° has such a missile so much for them, but boasting of such a missile without it, will get them quite a way in the propaganda line. By just saying they have such a missile, the free countries bordering and around the Iron-Curtain get panic strlken. If the Russians have an intercontinental missile, how can they be so sure they can 6trike any city they vrant with it. After all, they haven't ever tried the thing out. Russian bosses say that if there was another war intercontinental bomb- ers would be worthless. If this is true why don't they get rid of their big jet bombers of which they have so many. The nussian leaders think that if they can convince the countries aroun.v the Iron-Curtain that they could beat the free-world in a third world war, some f the countries might be made t sink behind the Iron- Curtain. Although the Russians have launched two satellites into uter space, I dcubt if they received much information from them. me Sputnik 1 ked like a o nvincer t a big scare pro- gram that they have cooked up. A lot of people think that if the Russians can send up earth satellites it could be that they have interc ntinental missiles. This is just what the Russian bosses want, for they figure that if they can scare the people they will get their way much easier. I doubt it if the Russians will try anything as 1 ng as the fi'ee-w rid sticks together. Let's cooperate, do -ur bit and not get frightened. Carroll Brudreau '58 Lltterbugs Why are people such litterbug6? Why arc they '■ careless about where they throw things? If y-u ride along the highway in a car you see papers all along the sidos rf the r ad. There are trash cans all along the way, but the peoole will not stop to throw their trash in the jans. Instead,they Just throw it at of the oar windows. It is the came way at school. There are waste paper baskets in every r m. Instead of carrying the paper vo the fcaoW 1 will threw them m the floor or chuck them ir the desk where i;hey are sitting. There are'also chocolate bar papere on the floors all around If someone h .a a uhoccllate tar ha takes off the wrapper- anci throws It onto the floor- Tha.re are bo oka drag.— ging around our school rooms� , h .c � on ad. t OorBv • vl)riiowr fitilla, ■ In u vQx-'j vrj.it.i. hold Doo4r - line re iff plenty of space In our desks for our books. Reference materials lie on the window sills. If we could keep the papers picked off the floor, our desks cleaned out, and our books Inside our desks the rooms would look so much better. There should also be a place found for the ref- erence material. Let’s try to Jo these things and see how much better our school will look. Joyce Tittemore ’58 How Can We Stop The High Accident Rate This editorial Is to all drivers, especially to those in city traffic. I think more accidents would be prevented if the drivers of large city buses, taxis and trucks, would be more careful when starting out from stops at the side of the road, and when starting out from red lights. Some drivers tend to make a nuisance cf themselves by pushing in front of oncoming cars, and thus causing accidents too frequently. Not only the drivers, but people getting into and out of cars open their do ;rs directly to the oncoming traffic. One emphasis, I think I sh uld make, is to the Jaywalker . I think more of the plicemen sh uld enforce this law. The drivers of oncoming ot r6 are unable to see these people darting in and out of traf: icj and cannot stop in time to prevent an accident. It isn't only these people that I have mentioned that can prevent accidents; it’s everyone of us who gets behind the wheel of an automobile, and the pedestrians as well. So why can't we all be more careful and put a stop to the exceedingly high acci- dent rate. Richard Westcot '59 Miss Gates to Richard W. and Carroll B : Suppose Carroll de- cided that you and he whnuld walk from the Sweet Shop to Enosburg Falls. Let's see now, it would take about fifteen minutes to walk a mile. Where would you be an hour later Alohard? ’ Richard: 1 don't knew about Carroll, but I'd still be at the Sweet 3hep. 4. Should Eighteen-Year-Olda Be Allowed to Vote There has been much controversy In the United States on whether eichteen-year-olds should be allowed to vote, oome oeople fuel that they should not be allowed to do so because thoy do not havo the nccossary qualifications to make a WJ;SC decision. Other pooplc foci that they should be allowed to voto at this age. I am one of those who feel that a porson of eighteen should be allowed to vote. Just because a young person of oightcen may not have tho qualifications of putting ona good argument with tho fellow next door, r i tizen 1 ho may still possess the qualities noodcd to be a ggod citizen and a wise voter. There i3 an old argument that has been going around, that if a person has to servo in the army at such an age he should also be allowed to vote. T-.kc the two states of Georgia and Kentucky for example. These states How cightoon-yocr-olds to vote. If they did not figure their y©ung pcopic wore capn- blc votfc, and carry responsibilities I should think that they would «.hr n go the- voting '■'go. My lost opinion on why a person of eighteen should be allowed to vote i3 connected with torching civics in school. I nlwrys thought that civics was taught in school so that a DUDil could loom more about our government and tho way it is run. I mu31 admit not everyone has tho common sense to learn civics in school,but I figure if thoy are not old enough to accept responsibilities at this age they may nover do so. Should eightccn-yoar-old3 be allowed to voto? I loavc this thought with the citizens. Think it over • James Messier '58 Winter's Touch Tho messngos left cn the window panes by the frost, ex- quisite and clogant to sec, arc a preview of what is beyond. The ground is coverod with a sheltering clook of downy 3pow and the trees loom up out of tho snow, look ft tho brook; frost has touched it with icy fingers giving it on air of cold aloofness. The sky bends down and tucks its corners protcctingly around tho world. Ponco, serenity, and bonuty arc present in on endless variety of the earth's portrait. Wanito Lafley f60 ART I C L 3 ft.

Little children tucked in beds Are sound asleep, while in their heads The dream of Santa Claus so true. And of all tho eight reindeer too. Thoy think of tho many toys ho� 11 bring. And all tho candy on a string; But one thing worrios them, wo all know, They think, Will Santa get through tho snow? On Christmas morn when all ariso They yawn and rub their tirod eyes, And run to soc if Santa Claus Had loft thorn toys boneath tho troo. Thoir eyos shine, thoir laughter's bright, For thorc before thoir oyes Are toys and candy and much, much more. Which makes for them such a happy sight. Thoy know for now that Santa Claus Scorns always, over, to get through. No matter if tho woothor is sunny and bright Or full of snow and blizzards too. This Christmas day wc all rc-joico In singing many hymns To praise tho Lord for all wc have And for his rememberings. Audrey Cummings '59 Christmas Temptations It was one cold Christmas night When temptation and I had a fight. For down below, tho Christmas troo Presents in my mind woro plain to see. I crept from my bed, stole to the stairs. And down below saw tin soldiers in pairs. I took ono stop, but tho stair gave a squook I turned, ran back and went to sloop. I won temptation in that fight, Because I didn't open my presents that night John Granger '59 Basketball Why Christaas? Basketball is a sport We think o lot of fun. Most of us °ro short, we know. But we can jump and run. Wo run on the floor Shako opponents hands And then tho game starts With great big bangs. Tho forwards get the ball, 'Nd dribbl., down the floor They shoot for the basket. And noko a score. In the opposite direction Tho ball does go. The guards h°vc to hurry; They can't bo slew. Tho gamo is over As always before Maybe wo lost And maybe we're sore. 'Twas on a Christmas Evc, Many years ago. In tho land of Bcthlohom So we arc all told. That Christ, our Savior, Who was so brave and bold- Was born of the Virgin Mary In a manger, dark and cold. He grew up to be our Lord, Who with a powerful hand Ruled tho world and all the pooplo Ho made the mountains and tho sand He never lot the pooplc down In n time of need. But, ho hclpod them all instead. Which w'-s a bold and mighty deed. But, when the pcoplo did wrong The Lord wculd punish them. Bodouse he knew what was b st. For us and all of them. Audrey Cummings '59 Joyce Tit to more '58 Cousin 3art's Door Whitetail deer are extremely smart. At least that w s thought by cousin Bart. He went to the woods at close to eight But when he came out 'twas awfully late. He hadn't seen a single door. But cousin Bart would not quit here. Next morning ho onterod the’ woods at sunrise, Thorc stood two door, much to his surprise — Not ono singlo horn could cousin Bart soe, But, thought Bart, That doesn't matter to me . Ho raised his rifle and squoczcd off ono shot, Tho bigg st doe fell dead on tho spot. Bart felt proud, although it wasn't legal. Until he was nabbed by Gamo Wardon Macbcaglo. Now cousin Bart is serving timo in jail And that's tho ond of cousin Bart's doer tale. Carroll Boudreau '58 Miss Dewing to Albert in Biology class; Albert, you bar your hand in the sulphuric adid.

David Wes toot 150 Morgan Wright '51 A Winter Day The snow startod falling late one night; It settled over tho country so very light. In the early morning the sun camo out; And the children began to run and shout: They ran and played in the snow all day; u And at night they were ready to hit the hay . The children ate supper early that night; For them, winter time was a certain delight. As they climbed the stairs, ready for bed; They heard the wind whistle overhead. When each knelt down to say his prayer , He thanked the Lord for boing there. James Messier ’58 Naturos‘s Routine From a hilltop ir the country, watching night descend, one can see noturo going through hor routino of night, day, sunsets, dusks, and dawn. Tho sun, brilliant in its fcoauty, 3inks slowly behind a pux-plo mountain and disappears, -her, dusk is upon us; the world suddenly turns gray« snow blan- kets the hills and roads protectively. The tight of each farmhouse, the lights of each born go on. Anu too conry31.de is dotted with tiny bursts of golden sequins. The moon suow.Ly ascends the opposite sky from whore the six foil, and takes its roign, until the dawn pulls tho shade of night up to ? new day. T inita Lallo '50 Joy of Christmas 7. Christmas is coming soon. With every one in tune- Presents hanging high and low- Candles flaming with a glow; Gifts for everyone in sight Not one is left alone. Darkness creeps into the night; Everyone whisks out of sight. Soon Santa comes and lifts Prom his bock so many gifts. He loavos before tho family wakes. To visit more houses before morning breaks. Morning comes with Christmas day. For the happy family, spirited and gay. Richard Westcot '59 Christmas Christmas is a time of fun and joys That comes but, once a year When all receive gifts end toys, And all are full of cheer, Santa works day or.d night Rushing for this great day. It•s a good thing he s not tight”; He gives out gifts in such a way. Each year Christmas comes nnd goes For tots and adults too; Soon we are back on our toes With much more work to do. Betty Myott ’58 A Poem? Writing a poem is not for me, I!ll leave my verses for the bee. When a teacher asks for one, I am able to chink of none. Now it’s no wonder, I make a blunder; •nd since I can’t think. I’ll take a wink. Lawrence Myott ’62 STORIES 19. Lost in The Woods ;.’ary was a little irl who liked to wander, for she was always 30103 in the woods and playing with her dog. Of oourse her iother didn't want her to go. Yet when her mother wasn't looking Mary would sneak off. One day •lory's mother had to 30 to the city, for she wanted to do some shopping. Of oourse Mary said she didn't want to go, for she wanted to play with her dog. 'ary waited for her -other to o. Then she hurried off to the woods. She kept walking and walking, for sh? loved the woods and its oretty scenes. She was having so much fun that she forget about the time and where sne was goin « Ail at onoe she looked around. She didn't know where she was. She was lost. She knew it would he getting dark soon and she must find her way boma . She started running the way she thought she had come, but none of the scenes looked familiar to ner. She knew if she kept on, that she might never find her way home. So 3be svtoDp9d and wondered what she should dc. All at once she heard something. It was coming nearer and nearer, .«ary lay down on the ground. She wondered what the noise was. Of course lary couldn't see, for it was dark by this time. ’ary thought, if only I hadn't dis- obeyed my mother and had 3tayed at home with ay puppy. All at onoe thr thing came in front of Mary, but it wasn't anything to be afraid of, for it was her dog and some- body else too. Her mother was ri ht behind her dog. ..lary was so ha py to see them that she said she never would play in the woods again, and she never did. Judy Ussier '63 First Christmas It was Friday night and school was out for Christmas vacation. Everyone was all excited. They were all talkin ; about their Chris truss presents and whst fun they were -oin to have during their vsoation. That is except Bill and as thy. They were down in the dumps because they didn't have a Christ- mas tree. 11 As they wore walking down the walk from school Sharrio noticed that Bill and Kathy wore walking all by thomsolves. She walked aver to them and asked, How are you today?” ”A11 right, I guess,” was Kathy’s answer. A Sharrle noticed that Kathy wasn't acting as she usually did. She saii. Kathy, what is troubling you? You aren:t yourself at all. Oh, I guess I don’t feel very good today.” Kathy, I know that is not the trouble. If you tell me maybe we can do something about it. Woll,” Kathy said, everyone is talking about Christmas, and wo don’t even hsvo a Christmas troo. Wo don’t have any monoy to buy anybody prosonts.

Then about one year °nd a half lator we c mo to Vermont. Phyllis Mitchell '63 Excitement on Tho Lazy X During the early hours of the cold, winter night a stiff breeze began to blow. Before midnight a blanket of snow started falling. When Slim, the foreman of the Lazy X Ranch, awoke he found a layer of whito snow about two feet deop outside tho window. Ho 'roused tho other cowboys and they .ate breakfast. During breakfast ho talked the situation over with his hi”od hands. They decided to go after the cattle in the East Range first because they would be the worst off, for they had the least fodder. The storm blow over in the early mc’ring. Slim ossignod some men to do tho chores around the ranch buildings. Then ho and the rest rode off toward tno East Range. Ac they rodo along tho trail Slim said to his right-hand manj Tucson rh, ’Now, whatever you au; don't start chasing strays. After that scorn . s t night .;.l tho familiar Jnnd-° marks sno covered up and it will bo very oosy to get lost. Ride book -nd tc-11 the others1'. ’’WiJl do., boss,” s id Tucson. He reined in his horse and rode back to toll the other men. Ab-ad; 12; 00 o'clock tho outfit rode through Bjuldor Pass, the entrance bo the Soj o P ngc. When the men wore insido the pass they rode i-i single file end formed a somicirolo around 14 tho closely gathered h rd. As the riders closed in on tho herd a fow men droppod b ck to r und up cattle thnt broke away. They did not have much trouble with the c:ws, because they were tired tp n tho hard storm. Some of the steers wore a little more troublesome because they woro moro sturdy than tho other animals. When they h d yearly all the herd through the pass a bunch of steors broke away from tho main herd and boltod off toward the open range. The mon finally rounded them all up, oxccpt £ one that hod ideas of hi3 own. You take tho rest of the herd to the ranch and put them in tho winter pasture, Slim told Tucson. I will try to get that stoer. I thought you said that you didn't want anyono to chaso strays, Tucson shouted above tho noise of the cattlo. Slim had already startod and did not answer Tucson. Ho redo os hard as his h.-rsc could stand under the conditions, but the steer always managed to stay just a little ahoad of him. Night fell oorlier than the cowboy hod expected, and he was still out in tho open country. Whon his horse began stumbling Slim got off and started walking. After ho had walked for a time he ran across some tracks in the snow. Then after a minute, terror struck Slim. Tho wor3t thing that could happen to anyono had happened to him; ho had been walking in a circle. Peeling that all his hopes were lost he suddenly thought of experience that he had hear! of, “ bout men caught in such a situation. They had said that they let the horse find his own way and usually he managed to got to a. ranch or find some sort of shelter. Slim hoped that his horse would do the same. He mounted and let the reins fall on tho horse's neck. Tho horse startod off in a different directi n from whero Slim had figured the ranch was, but he lot him go, hoping that ho could find his way. He rode on and on for what seemed a century. Sven whon he was in his own back posture Slim still did not know whoro he was. Finally ho saw a light in the distance and almost shouted for joy. He patted his harso on tho nock, took tho roins in his cold, stiff hands, and hoadod in that direction. Much to his surpriso ho found that he was at his own ranch and not at tho neighboring ranch os he had thought at first. One of tho mon led his horso in tho bam, while Slim hurried into tho bunkhouso to warm himself and oat 3uppor. After ho had oaten, all the men startod asking him questions about his day's experi- ence. Ho told them tho whole story from beginning to end. Then he endod, I never did get that steer. 15 The men turned in early that nighty for they were all tired from the day's work. The next morning Slim awoke early. He happened to glance -out the window and shouted to his boys. They looked out and found the steer that Slim had been chasing, stand- ing all alone near the corral.
