Honor System Some of our larger schools now have the honor System. This means that a teacher can leave the room during a mid- year exam if he or she wished, and not worry about cheat- ing. You see, the students have accepted their responsibil- ities, and know nothing is to be gained by cheating. So they have the benefits of privileges that goes along with a person whom you know you can trust. Do you think that we could make use of the Honor System in F.H.S.? Well, I think to some extent yes and no. Yes, because we have some students who wouldn't think of cheating. Besides, if everybody studied as they should, there wouldn't be any need for cheating. Yes, also because the ones who study diligently don't need a booster. ho, some find it easier to ride alone on other people's efforts. But if you're planning on college, well either get out of the mud or forget that college idea. You won't get a- way with it there, and from what I've heard they're getting pretty tough, so we'll need all we can learn to got m Why doos a person cheat anyway? Maybe a teacher pulls a surprise quiz, and if you're a little behind in your home- work George wouldn't mind handing out a few answers, well it's better than pulling an F isn't it? No, wouldn't you fell better to accept one F and next time be prepared to hand in an a paper. One that you have earned, makes you feel twice as good as if it was a carbon copy of George's . I think it would be fun to try the Honor System in our school for a while. Just as an experiment, of course. You know one of the basic rules of the Honor System is that if a person does cheat, he must turn himself in or he'll just ruin it for everyone. How do you think you would turn out personally? Do you think it could ever have a chance if everyone tried? What are your ideas about the Honor System?

With all the improvements in the town hall this year I am sure that we all owe a little gratitude to the select- men and Mr, Dick Wright, To begin with the selectman had the town hall completely painted. This, of course, was a great improvement over the old varnish which hadn't been touched since the hall was remodeled If we all have enough common sonse to help keep this new paint job bright and clean it will show that we can conserve town property. Another great improvement in the hall was the now facil- ities in the rest rooms. This new sanitary equipment is cer- tainly much more sanitary than the old facilities. In September, Mr, Messier, members of the teams, and my- self got together and decided that we would get a time-clock and scoreboard, V e also decided that wo would ask the busi- ness establishments in town for donations toward the clock and score-board. Mr. Me33ior first asked Dick Wright, who gavo us the clock outright. This certainlv is also a great Improve- ment for tho Basketball Court, The basketball teams also owe much to tho school-board, who have bought now 3uits for the two first teams. So we have improvements in the looks of the hall and in the looks of the teems, with many thanks to tho generous contributors._ Lawrence Mvott 62 Study Halls I think there should bo a little more studying and little loss fooling around in study hall , As I was sitting in the 3tudy halls, the other day I was nearly flaborgasted at tho going on of so-.no of tho younger pupils there. Then you think bock if you acted this way when you wore in thoir places and just a'little younger. Then you'think Well I act up now thon',' but when you see someone else doing it, it looks pretty foolish. But maybe if we juniors and seniors fooled around a littlo less, they would look up to us and strighten out a bit, Lot's all try, I know it will be hard to do, but if we put our minds to it wo can do it.

Super Highways - Pro and Con In this day and age people are going places faster than they used to. Some folks say that it is the high powered automobile engine and super highways that cause accidents and deaths. It's true that some terrible accidents occur on the turnpikes but if people knew how to use those roads I think it would be much bettor. The population is ever increasing and that means moro and more automobiles are traveling our highways. This rush of people must be taken care of. This means better roads must be constructed. The turnpikes aro helping to solve this problem. Poople who drive way above the speed limit are just asking for trouble. There are many docent drivers on the road, of course, and these aro the ones we should model ourselves after. There is also a turnpiko scrvico in operation now that is of much use to the motorist in trouble. If you have a flat tire or your car breaks down in one way or anoth- er, all you have to do is send for the turnpiko service and ono of the service trucks will bo at the scene in minutes with the noccssary tools and equipment to do tho job. I think if wo observe and obey all tho rules and regulations of our turnpikos wo can make them safer and much moro onjoyablo than they already are. Dick Toof ’61 What Makos a Teenager Act tho Way Ho Does ? I am no philosopher of the mind or anything of tho sort. I am just an average teenager and I'd liko to try to explain,in my own opinion, what makes a teenager act the way ho does. The years betweon thirtocn and nineteen are, I believe, some of the most difficult years of growing up. Things aro much different in the adult world. It takes some of us longer than othors to adjust to it. Wo aro now at an ago where it is of great importance to us to be allowed to use our own heads. If parents seem over protective, ns many do, it may cause us to rebel in one way or another. During this period of our lives ire want a chanco to prove to ourselves and other poople that we can think for ourselves. Wo want to do something woll. If our plan doesn't work out right we aro apt to bocomo very upset about it. I guess that's because we have in- ..a i nflrfl aeq £q gfflog 'eia eXqoeq ogi btra yaf) al to. ‘ni vjjj ) E flo i OlT.oS . ,Oi 1)081 yeM z.bnr t emotis .’8 ocf .wori wtrfTJf alqbeq’ '11 Site! aqrfjtqrmfif vrirf nn •.- • .• • • : - . :• id 5L - 'i .-fr; •® • . . ‘ ■ cnacnr sir:1 .'io ei o r: ;,cf Juwr r� I o,' 'io rfax i ei ' . ♦ • : o ■; :; • j1 foe o■ •:: -I •• r i • Ss ?. eia ‘h-il fee eas rf.+ ovodr 7-1-? - ?ib . alrrao? © no -icvlib £neo b yrrow ni- e ' • ' • ' . , o ‘ , • • ' '‘i eovloriic ' : JlYI I J ■ |; • . : r! ■: l Ht.v rfoww 1q ei nrfi • •: - : bn: - iXx i 'i ; I. • besf v . :y. jo w Z t ;J t )■ j e 1 ■ : X.: -r' .- 11 ■ f nr 'i .!■ '• I ir ■ • tt?SJ . ■ X 1-oT r-iolG V : icG - -Jn ■ •-(' ? ■ ■ 'r- ■ :«• 10 batm • r!t Z.c lorfqoaoXIrfg oh buj I ■ • • . 1 • ' . . ■ ■ «011.1 noocfr.ottlrr bnxs a: SiJ.-fj nr vr? a' ei jc r- ... t - r -J .‘ir: : ?f 1 : ; :v;: - ■: W . r, i BlOfttO n rfi r lo’;.; 3i; 'OXI :fiocwi Cfjsnig lo x . : n •••..; Rr.

Take, for instance, a girl who is trying to sew for the first timo. If her mothor or whoever is teach- ing her gets impatient, the girl will most likely put the sow- ing up and not try again. Sho will think that she can't possibly loam, while sho actually could if her teacher would give her a chanco. What I'm really getting at is that parents should tako into consideration that wj really do want to loarn, oven though we may not act as we do sometimes, if they would only tako the timo to show us. Anothor thing that seems to bother us teenagers a. great deal is o ir overbearing pride, we hate to ask if wo can go anywhere. I know that is my biggest problem. Somo times I had rather stay home than ask if I may go. Maybe it's the wrong way to feel, but I'm sure I'm not alone. Some chilren resent parents who want to know whore they're going, what they're go'ng to do, and what timo they're coming back, I'm not saying that parents don't have a right to know.bocause they do However, they could show a littlo more trust sometimes. Somo parents are very fair. They give their teenage children as much responsibility as they can handle What wo kids are are really trying to prove most of the time, I guess, is that wo know as much as adults. Of course wo don't, but sometimes they don't even give us crodit for what wo do know! We go through many different moods, which T don't under- stand myself. There arc times when we feel liko just giving up. Other times things couldn't be going more perfectly. It isn't any- thing out of the ordinary for anyone to fall blue, the puzzling part about us is that one minute we're hapoy and the next we're niscra.blo for practically no reason. Maybe this is a problem for a philosopher. Grown-ups often met angry at us for having so mamy di'ferent moods, but they'll have to put up with them; wo do] I believe that in the younger teens we are apt to think that wo're pretty smart. I think that when we at last realize that lifo isn't supposed to bo a bowl of roses , that wo can uso some advice from adults, and that wo aren't as smart as wo were, it is a big step in growing up. Those aro difficult years it's true, but toonagers, as much as wo hate to admit the fact, adults are a littlo wiser and they do know itfh t they're talking about most of the timo. We have to put up xtfiththom so the only conclusion is to make the best of it and get through these years as well as wo can.' Bronda Mayo '62 Kenton: I hear that fish is brain food.

A now year lies ahead of us, promising much in the way c.f education if wo make use of every available oppurtunity� Waich of course, loads us to the over-lasting homework. But homework, tedious as it may bojhas to bo completed, in spite of the many obstacles which are in the course of a year — such ns the plays, with the many long hours spent in rehearsing parts. And now basketball has taken the lead. Sure, those aro extra curricular activities, but as any of the students know, especially those who live on farms, after you’re done chores, thero isn’t much timoto do homework and bo at a basketball gamo by 7:30. Many students have collogo in mind, for it seems our futuro lies in the hands of skilled workers. But colleges are getting tougher to get into every year. Why? Because there ’poso many boys and girls graduating each year who want to got in, that our colleges just aren’t large cnougn. But to get into a good collogo, you’re required to take exams that aren’t a push over oven for A student. In fact, many go back to brush up on every thing they’ve had in high school for these exams. eo you see, it all loads to one thing - either you study and faithfully complete your ho '-owork now - or when you go knock- ing at collogo gates the doors won’t open because you weren’t prepared.

Rising early I jumped from bed to prepare for my long journey to the mountains. After I dressed in my father’s longjohns and hunting clothes you can imagine what I looked like. It was enough to frighten anythingj to say nothing about the deer. The otner girlst Jane, Sue, and Mary came to pick mo up at !l:00 a.m. Wo wero a sight.

MOUNTAIN 1� IB 7 VEL, A pretty girl of seventeen, was staying with her Aunt Mary In in New Hampshire. Her father was away in iSngland, and her jjother had died whe fhe vas very young. At their summer camp they were having a party to celebrate their arrival on the island, with all their friends. Vel's closest friend, Mike Linke, was asking her, Vel, what are you going to do this summer? what I mean is, what plans have you made for our summer activities? Well, said Vel, I thought we could have a few dances to raise money for our Youth Club. What do you think about it? I think it's a good idea, Vel. replied Susan Brown. When do we start? Well, what about two weeks from now? answered Vel. Great! said Betty Lou. So two weeks later they were having their daices. They were very successful, because they had cleared eighty-nine dollars in all. Monday was a very dull day, and Vel decided to call Susan to go for a swim. The girls met at Jack's Snack Bar at 2:30 p.m. I've had a swell idea, said Vel, thinking just how she was going to put it. Well, hurry up and tell me, said Susan. Don't keep me won- dering. You remember when we went to the mountain a few years ago, don't you? Susan nodded. Why couldn't we plan on going again this year?' continued Vel. Sure, we could invite yoirAunt Mary In and my mother and father. We'.ill call a meeting, at my house. I'll call the 'gang''- and we'll make it at eight-o'clock. said Vel. Okay, now are we going to have our swim or aren't we? And the girls were off. That night, after everyone was there, Mike opened the meeting, since he was president. V ‘II : 'UkTWJv, .

Now, after finishing school and saving for three years, I fiad enough money. I bought a '60 Pontiac convertible, jet black with a white top. The inside upholstery was a beautiful red and white. But the thing I liked best about it was the motor. It was stick shift with fuel injection. For the first six months X took it easy, not driving it over eighty. During this time I put fender skirts on it and crash bars. The crash bars wore for my own protection in case it rolled over. N5ow my car was ready for action. One bright Saturday night I thought I would give it a trial run. I went down town to find an ooponont. I cruised around town until I found one. It was a kid about eighteen with his father's car. The car, a 60 Oldsomobile Super 88, with the big'goet motor made that year, was a fast car. I pulled along side of him and asked if he wanted to out it uo against my car. He said yes, and that he had ta.ken cars just like mine in second gear. We drove outside of the cilty to a two mile striaght way. We nulled along beside each other. I told him to start out and I’d b right be- hind him. I slipped' her intolow and waited for him to start. When I saw him start, I dropood the clutch and floored it. I could feel the tires spinning so let up on her, and. hit second, I waited fort ho speedometer to climb to niwt-’- then hit high. By this time the Oldsomobile was about ton car links behind me. I let the speedometer climb to one hundred and thirty. By this time the Oldsomobile's head lights wore just showing in the mirror. This was just the first drag race. Aftor about ten races my car was beginning to be well known. It was like a fast gun of the West, Everybody wanted to try to boat It. Everybody wanted to race mo; some with junk Fords and. others with better cars. Aft -r quite a few races my c-r began to uso some oil and it was • very hard on tiros. From then on I wouldn't drag unless there was money on it. This wont along fine; I was making a little money, and hadn't been beaten yet. All at onco a streak of real bad luck hit me. First I took the transmission out thon the roar end. I took it easy for the next couple of weeks. But drag racing is like a habit forming drug you just can't got along without it. So totiok at'it I wont. By this time the cops were kooping a close oye on me, but so far, I hadn't been caught. One thing that helped was a devico to turn the number plate light out. A couple of times the cops tried to catch mo, but failed. Thon came the day when I took a boating by another '60Pontiac a twin to mine, except it ha$ a larger engine than mine. That broke my spirit to race. Anyit was rather risky business; I was just lucky I didn't got kil].od. So I traded my Pontiac in for a six cylinder Chovy, a '56, Slush pump, and it was another convert- ible. Don Richard '62 • • nil ee � r. Y i“1 1 T ri lc !• •• r s • la • ocf b i £ • ■ 1 • . ri yf o ?

She had long silken brown hair, with a natural wave, and sparkling brown eyes. To make the pioture complete, this was her senior year of high school. You would think that a girl with this description plus the fact that she was very popular with the both boys and girls, would not have e problem in the world. However, Jayne had a very hard problem to overcome,even though she didn't realize it for quite some time. Jayne was a very busy young lady. But after all, this was her last year of high school and there wore so many things to be done. She had no spare time for dates or even a get-together with the girls. She participated in all school functions and was also active in town affairs. Mrs. Buxton advised Jayne to slow down Jayne, said Mrs. Buxton greatly disturbed, you may be young and chipper, but your body will just not keep up with your mind. Besides your're young and you s.iould be having a little fun The only time you go out is to do something for someone else. Now I have'nt anything against helping other folks, but there is a limit. ___ Jayne laughingly, Oh, Mother, for goodness sakes, don't worry about me so. I'm not a child. Besides I like the work I'm doing. So the summer turned to fall and fall into winter with Jayne still trying to keep up her hectic pade. One day while sitting in English class, Jayne felt so faint that she could hardly stagger out of the rcw without falling. No one except Jim noticed how sick she really was. She could cover up her weakness in front of other people, but not Jim. He rushed out the door after her, (witiiout asking permission to leave the room) muoh to her displeasure. “Jayne what's wrong ? ' Jim gasped with concern. Jim, I',m alright. I didn't have any breakfast and I'm just a little faint. Nothing serious, Jayne replied rather angrily. Nothing serious! Jim exclimed. You're crazy! Do you think everbody is stupid? Don't you suppose I've noticed how awful you've been looking latoly?

This town was noted for ono thing-drag races, a3 the pooplo (put it) pf Junction City.-that is-tho adults, Those kids aro crazy, but every night around twelve o'clock they would hoar tho sound of glass-packs and hollywoods. As we now get back to the race wo find Jack King, in the first car, driving a 59 Chovrolot V8, four barrol carb, with dual exhaust. This car was all souped-up, but is had a lot of competition. He was racing wi th a 60 Buick Electra, V8, stick shift, al30 four barrel carb, and hollywoods-ownod and drivon by David Scott. Now you can imagino what this sounded liko at twolvo o'clock at night, but thoso kids had a roason to raco. Thoso two boys Jack and David were much disliked by tho town's people and as a rovongo purpose,''they would try to disturb the pooplo of this town by racing at mid-night. Jack and David weren't the only ones that woro not liked or wantod in this town. Every timo these boys would ask for a job thoy would bo turned down, and you could be sure tho next night there would bo some clattering going on at mid-night. Timo wont on and so did tho racing. Even tho cops couldn't catch them. Finally, on the 30th day of July, David Scott (by tho way thoso these boys woro oither juniors or seniors in high school) docidcd to try to get enough money together to build a raco track on tho outskirts of tho town, Thoy called a mooting togothcr. Ono of tho other boys that I haven't mentioned yet, by the namo of Tom Williams, owner and operator of a 59 Oldsmobilo, camo up with a groat idoa. That was to ask all tho businessmen to contributo to this causo and thcro wouldn't bo any moro mid-night excursion . 12 So tho next day each boy wont and askod for money, but tho only answer they would pet was, Got out of my office, you stupid kid. jhr.t didn't turn out to be such a good idea after all. One yoar passed and Juno camo. David and five other of tho club graduated, flow tho boys had to havo a job, for they were on their own, but as they asked for work you can imagino that the answer was no , without n reason. A month passod and on tha.t fatal night of August 15� 1962, tho boys decided to really get revenge. There wore throo cars abreast and throo lines, consisting of cars ranging from tho year of 5o s to 61' s. In car ono was David Scott with his 1 60 Buick; in car two. Crane driving a 59 Ford; and In car throo Jerry Bud, driving a '61 Ford In tho second lino was Jack King driving his '59 Chevrolet; in car throe Dave Pearl, driving his '58 Chevy. The last roll consisted of all ’61 Oldsmobilos: c r ono, Don Richardson; car two, Joe Rider; car throe, Jerry West. Then it began. For one half hour there was a solid sound of glass-packs. Then all of a sudden a big crash was hoard through- out town. Anderson had crowded out Scott and had sidowipod Crane, causing Anderson, Scott and Crane to ditch and hit fivo guard rails. Then there wa.s another cr sh that followed oven louder. There was a six car pilo-up. Tho result of that raco seven boys wouldn't be able to tell. Crane, Richardson, Rider, West, Pearl, Anderson and King novor saw the ending of that raco. Funeral services were held next da.y. The people wore vory touched by the loss. The two boys that lived were David Scott, in a critical con- dition with a broken leg, two broken arms, and six broken ribs. Jerry Bud was holding his own, but fighting a see-saw battle for his life. Two nenths passod and boys wore living and were expected to live. In fact David was released from tho hospital. Now David found that tho businessmen of the town were very much changed. It was days 1-tor when David learned thGt tho businessmen had paid tho hospital bills for both him and Jerry Bud. David then thanked them all and askod for their forgivoncss. Ono of tho businessmen explain- ed, If wo had given you boys a job as you asked us, this accident wouldn't havo happened. It is wo that ask forgiveness, tho boys answered. So from that day on neither David and Jerry or any of tho rest of the boys had to worry about jobs. And now tho town of Junction City, Kansas is tho quietest town in the U.S.A. I know; my name is Jerry Bud. Gary Lothian '62 Gary Rico How did you come by that blaok eye? Richard P, Tho old cow has a habit of flicking my face with her tail.

This little dragon lived with Bother Hildagard and his papa,Herki- mor Sr. He was almost twenty-five feet long from his red hot tongue to his bluepointed tail and was enrolled at Dartmouth dragon school Herkimor was what you might say an average forty year old baby dragon, except fer one thing. Herkimor detested human flesh. When hi$ father brought home a nice big fat juicy baker Herkimor stuck out his red hot tongue and slapped his blue pointed tail and said, How utterly detestable, papal You know I dislike hufcan flesh, especially white maat. Herkimor's parents were stymied It seemed that they had begotten a vegetarian. What would pa.pa Herkimor Sr. say when a bunch of his crohies cane over for a game of red hot poker? What would Ilildagard say when she played burning bridges with the village housewives? It seemed that they would be the laughing stock of the whole dragon neighborhood. Herkimor saw his parents' anxiety and felt genuinely sorry for them as he roasted fifty or sixty pounds of sweet potatoes and a couple dozen bunches of bananas with the blue hot exhaust from his nostrils, mixed a Waldorf salad with his hands, or tossed a green salad with his tail. He really tried to think of a way to save his parents from embarrassment His taste for humans had been spoiled when, as a little tiny baby of six or seven feet, his parents had given him several humns to play with. He had grown quite fond of his playmates, but he had accidently fried then with his exhaust, and because of this carelessness, h.ad sworn nover to e at human flesh aga.in. Herkimor deliberated for several y .ars about his problem, but finally decided he could do nothing about it. He just lived his life as best he could, playing with the othcT young dragons and eating fruit3 and green salads. Many years later when Herkimor was a young man of tnree hundred years the king of dragons decided it was time that his daughter, a very lovely young woman with - delicate white flame and a pink pointed tail, should wed. be ordered all the eli- gible young bachelors to present themselves before the Princess. All the young dragons were very occited and did their best to look pleasing to the Princess but one by one she turned up nose until she cane to Herkimor. Herkimor, expecting to be passed up as the other young dragons, didnTt even bother to oog]e at her with his purple eye and started to walk past.

The princoss replied, All the other young dragons had such horrible cases of halitosis, caused by eating too much human flesh, but your breath was so fresh and fruity I just couldn’t resist you, Now you probably think there is more to this story About this time somebody invented a contraption called the gun and des- troyed practically all the dragons, but now and then thoro are huge unexplained forest fires that could havo boon caused by somo careless dragon, n’cst-cc-pas?

All through the school, with no exception to the rule, There was laughter and joy. Now t is the night before Chri And all through the town, Everyone is sleeping sound. For everyone knows tomorrow Will be bringing no sorrow. Lawrence Myott 62 WHEN SUMMER CONES When summer comes on its golden wings And shows its warm light on wonderous things Like the babbling brooks in the meadows of green And the tall, tall trees in the villiage scene. Ah, yes, all the world just laughs and sings When summer comes on its golden wings. Brenda Mayo 162 THE CHRISTMAS TREE We'll trim the Christmas tree tonight, Testing first each colored light. Now, set the angel on top, Hang the balls,and don't let them drop, Also the bells to swing and tinkle. Drape the tinsel and watch it twinkle. Hook the candy canes up high To be eaten, by and by. Cookies, too, one by one. Sprinkle on snow; now the tree is done. Claire Chalifoux '62 SOMETHING SIMPLE I have a little picture Hanging on my wall, And every time I look at it I think it's going to fall. It's a picture of a monkey Hanging from a tree, And come to think of it, He looks a bit like me. Neal Morgan Wright '61 . ' .. . . The Wonder of Winter Snow gently falls on the frozen ground Like the wings of angels all around. It binds the earth with a pure white tie i And looks like the clouds from the heavenly sky. There is beauty in the trees when the ice is frozen fast. They are covered with diamonds in a sparkling white mask. When the cool, crisp nights creep around all, The twinkling starlight on the world falls. As it shows its light on the glistening snow, The wonder of winter is really known. Brenda Mayo ' 62 Christmas It was the day after Christmas In the little white house, Neat packages for everyone- JSven a tiny toy mouse! The stockings that'd been hung By the fireplace with ease, Had been filled with the goodies The types that just please. The children were happy - They giggled with glee, I’or Santa had trimmed up Their gay Christmas tree.

From Mt. Holly we traveled to Manchester, Vermont tr have dinner at the Colburn Hause. After dinner we visited the district Ranger's office st the Green Mountain National Park and Forest and 8 stand improvement with the Ranger and David Barton, Bennington'- County Forester. In this area of fifteen acres of Scotch Pine about seven hundred feet on each side of the road must be kept as natural as possible for the tourists. Then we moved on to Hapgood Pond Forest Camp in Peru, with the Ranger. Here a man-made pond includes a picnic and tent area with a 300 foot beach marked with buoys and lines for safe swimming. Our next visit was to a thirteen acre woodlot owned by Mrs. Sortie Hilliard of Manchester Depot. Thirty-eight thousand feet of gugar maple, basswood, white ash, and others were marked with the idea of improving the area. Mr. David Barton was our guide on this tour. We then traveled to Bennington County I4.-H Camp Ondawa in Sunderland, where we spent the night. We had an evening program of two films and forestry instruction. The next morning breakfast was served at camp by Mr. and Mrs. James Edgerton. From Sunderland we moved on to visit the B ennington Battle monument in Old;Bennington. The monument commemorates the Battle of Bennington fought on August 16, 1777, which historians consider to be the turning point of the Revolutionary War. Then we visited the Cushman Furniture in North Bennington. Mr. Keen, a company foreman, showed us around explaining everything. This furniture company produces some of the finest furniture in the world. Wo saw furniture from the raw logs to complete pieces with upholstery. Of course I cannot begin to explain the process be- cause it would take up this whole paper. Next we traveled to Rutland to have dinner at Howard Johnson’s Resturant. We were off again'to a Red Pine stand in Stockbridge owned by Mr.. Richard C. While studying at Harvard Forest Mr. Rose learnod of a Russian method of pruning, which he has tried here in Vermont where it has proved to be very practical and economical to Vermont Forestry.-. Wc then journeyed to Bethel to see the Fyles and Rice Company, where plywood and veneer are made.. Most, of the wood used is yellow- birch and maple.. About 50,2 of each log is waste. The waste is either used for fuel or sold for bedding, and pulpwood. From there we traveled f the Montpelier Tavern Hotel .0 • T ll t I •4 • « V . vn 0 sr -i _. i r. « vTi ' t •• rv:’ ' • V. .+ - :• mir ;VT Vii ■••iV 1 ;:. r • I w •.

At tho tavern we had a delicious dinner and were honered to have with us the excutive vice-president of the Assoiatod Industries of Vermont, who sponsored tho tour, Mr. James 'Moroness. Ho told us of the importance of forestry in Vermont. Of course I am really thankful for the opportunity to visit these mills and woodlots and for all the new frietids made on this tour. If there are any questions about this tour I shall bo hap'.y to try and answer thorn. On tho 27th of October I was invited to attend tho annual mooting of the Associated Industrios of Vermont in Woodstock, as tho outstanding l -H Forestry Boy of I960. I was asked to give a five minute report on this tour to members of the A.I.V. meeting. I was glad to do this and thankful for tho experience. Lawrence Myott 62 (Lawronco was invitod to tho A.I.V. banquot in Woodstock, because his roport on the Forestry Tour was tho best and most complete ono submitted by the boys on tho stato wide tour.) Trip to Fort Ticonderoga On Saturday, Sept 17, the seventh and eight grades Social Science class to k a bus trip to Fort Ticonderoga-about 210 miles for tho round trip. Fort Ticonderoga is located in the state of Now York close to tho Vermont border on Lako Gcorgo and Lake Champlain. It was built there because it had a strategic position for tho enemy to be seen in all directions. It ch.angod hands five timosj first into the French hands; second « the English; third, Americans; fourth, the English; and next as it is todayr tho Americans. Its formation is like a star, so that the enemy could see in all directions and there were cannons mounted on all sides. Mount Defiance is in the distance with flags, waving in tho wind, on its ton. Tho British captured the fort by working at night making a road up the Mountain ar.d later the fort had to surrender bocausg.tho English w ro looking down upon it. If during a war the enemy attempted to climb tho walls they would fall into a moat or ditch filled with water at the bottom of the entranco all the way around, so tho fort was truly safe.

Last spring I was honored by being chosen as the delegate to Green Mountain Boys State. Wo left with my classmate and delegate to Girls State, Donna White, at around twolvo noon, Sunday, Juno 19. When we arrived in Montpelier wo loft Donna at Vermont College where Girls State was boing held. Wo then proceeded on to Northfield and Norwich University. First wo registered at the main building. We had arrived at about throe o’clock on the Norwich Campus. As registration took a- bout an hour1 wo had until suppor to got straightenod around and to look ovor the place whore wo wore to spend the next week. Wo ate in tho Norwich dining hall and the food was superb. Wo could eat all we wanted, (up to a point of course.) Wo had a system worked out at our table. You see tho rules stated that in order to got moi’o milk, in addition to the six quarts that wero put on tho tablo in tho beginning of tho meal, you had to return the empty bottles to tho kitchen. Each one of us would load up cur arms with empty bottles which wo had drained and go off to the kitchen to get refills. One day I think wo sot a record by drinking something like fiftoon quarts of milk at ono meal. I don't consider this is too bad as there woro ton boys at a tablo. Wo certainly enjoyed the food and didn't go hungry. Wo started off Monday morning at six A.M. We had a flag raising and thon wont back to our rooms to clean and got roady for inspection at 6:L|.5 A.M. Everything that was«!ono at Boys State by towns countod points toward Model Town. One thing that counted highly was inspec- tion in the morning. Our town came in first in inspection, four of the six mornings. Sports countod in points also. We won most of our events but when Model Town announced it wasn't mine that won. Wo had to be in bod with lights out at 10:20 P.M. Our council- ors came around to make suro every ono was there and asleep. I hap- pened to bo on tho fifth floor of my dormitory which was a advantage I thifak, bocauso it did got rather noisy at times in tho building. The puroese of Boys State is to teach young pooplo about our government and how it is run. Wo had our first town mooting at nine A.M. Monday. Hero wo wont through tho procoodure of town mooting, electing officers, and transacting articlos which woro made up by some of our boys. Wo had a town meeting every day until Wednesday; thon wo held legislature tho rest of the woek at tho Armory. A rather rugged schedule was set up for us during tho woek. There was meetings in tho mornings, recreation in the afternoon; then after supper tho whole lot of us wont down to the Armory for movies, talks, and such. Wo woro honored Thursday evening by tho prosence of our Govornor, Robort Stafford, who talked to us for half an hour. . ‘ arii na i flfino r ' r ■ ■ ' • . , j -f . . , •' ■ • • • aA . - .

Also anyone who got out of line had to answer to him. Fortunately no one from our town bad to report. One of the highlights of the week was the dance on Friday night. All the boys look forward to this dance because this is when the girls from Girls State cometo Boys State for a big dance. There was only one drawback to this affair. There were three boys to every girl, which made it rather interesting. We were all sad to leave the campus after a wonderful week spent with a wonderful bunch of fellows. There were about 232 boys at Boys State from all over the state. It was quite an experience meeting them all and hearing about their schools. All and all, I thinkil was a week well spent and I cer- tainly know more about our government than I did before I went. I certainly made a lot of new friends during the week and I hope to see them all again sometime. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the American Legion Post 42 of Enosburg Falls for sponsering me and showing me a wonderful time. I shall always remember it. Dick Toof '61 EXCHANGE So far, wo have rociovcd two school papers: from Enosburg, tho HI Spirit , and from Rlchford, tho Soarchlight.

From what I hear some of tfche student,.have really been living it up after play rehearsals, before too, huh Barb, and Carole?? I overhecard someone ask Brenda if she and Reggie were gping coon bunting after play rehearsal one night. That's a poor excuse,isn't it Brenda? Darlene Jewette, who did I see you with a few nights after play rehearsal one night. That buddy of his has a black and white Ford doesn't he? To get to the Seniors, Morgan seems to be spending a. lot of time in the freshman room. I wonder what the big attraction is. Could it be Polly? I don't blame you; go to it. Herman� I thought you were going steady with Darlene J. I guess that has all changed. What happened? One of the Freshman girls has departed from F.H.S. I heard one of the senior boys is busy writing letters to Water- bury. Are you that lonesome, Gary Messier? It happens to the best of us. Has everyone seen the diamond on Donna Clifford's finger? Mighty fine one. Congratulations! I guess the election didn't turn out the way the Republicans wanted it . What was allthe arguing. . first period study hall the day after elections, huh Herman? What were all the dirty looks for, the day Alice helped Richard with his bookkeeping. You were'nt mad by any chance, Carol? I heard there was a big attraction at the Sweet Shop while the construction men were here. Would you know anything about that Donna? Miss lanpher, what made you fall in the burdocks, Halloween night? Did you thins the cops were chasing you? I guess that's all the gossip thie time,but BEWARE! I'll be watching so I can report again in the next editior of this school paper. THE GHOST OF F.H.S. Miss Dewing: What kinds of wood make a match? Robert Magnant: That's easy. He would and she would. ■ • • 4 i J ;r 4 r . i«.L x . • o .vc bf t.i . • V .• Jl ' • .n : - dJ -iri i.bT-r : .•(« 13 - • v.A • 'i . -i.C ri!
