GERALD WARREN STICKNEY LEWISTON, VERMONT One of the decorative highlights at the memorable Christmas Senior Ball was Santa driving his sleigh of reindeer down out of the sky midst the glittering snowflakes on the Assembly Hall curtain. Probably few people realized who was responsible for this gay work of art. Gerry, a modest Verrnonter, would rather remain quietly in the background asking little credit for such a job. He is not only a talented artist, but he is also one of Mr. Stimson's top mechanical drawing students. The hunting season brings out his ability to draw a bead on a buck, and last year he came home with a six-point 100- pounder. JOANNE ELNORA THOMPSON ETNA, NEW HAMPSHIRE Chrysanthemums, carnations, and roses take on added beauty as .Ioanne's skillful fingers nimbly work them into corsages and fioral bouquets. The art of calling fiowers by their correct names is not diiiicult for Jo, for during the summer months she capably fills customers' orders at Porter's Florist Shop. As business manager of the Harpoon, she deftly manipulates facts and figures to balance the books. Editor Andy never has to worry about hills going unpaid, for he knows his Hrighthand man is always on the job. Friday night, .lo may be seen in a gay dip and dive at the square dance in Hanover Center. Harpoon 4 NANCY JANE THORBURN NORWICH, VERMONT A true Vermonter, Nan's slow deliberate manner of speech diffused with such words as caow and pa'tridge, two deep dimples, a close-to-the-surface blush, and a wide smile give her poise and a genial mien. Nancy works at Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital after school while she looks ahead to the day when she will be able to apply for a job as a full-fledged nurse. An enthusiastic bowler and dancer, Nan's weekends are busy ones, and she too, is an H. H. S. basketball fan. Nancy's pet peeve is being called Red, and with an adamant shake of her head, she'll say that her hair is more brown than red. Junior Choir 1: Senior Choir 2, 4g French Club 2, 3. TERESA MARY TOBIN GREENSBORO ROAD When someone says the name Teresa we think of a soft pageboy hair style, twinkling eyes, a merry laugh and a neat-as-a-pin appearance. Inveterately slow, sure, and easy, Terry turns into a dynamo on the basketball and field hockey teams. A keen interest in athletics and a sportsmanlike attitude make her a necessary cog in the wheel of good play. Few people are aware that the pleasant number please they hear from the Hanover switchboard may be the voice of Terry, who is starting early on a career with the Telephone Company. Considerate and good-natured, Terry increases and strengthens her friendships with each day.

IOHN EDWARD SARGENT 7 RIP ROAD Jack is another lover of the rugged sport of skiing. The coldest of winter days will find him out on Balch Hill, provided there's snow. If the snow doesn't live up to expectations, he might be found at the Co-op telling the salesman how much cheaper ski equipment is at Art Bennett's, or he might be across the street telling Art how much :heaper it is at the Co-op. As chairman of the Class Committee this year, .lack has ably iemonstrated his ability for this position as the organizer and man behind the scene for :he Senior Ball.

WILLIAM JAMES SMALLEY WEST WI-IEELOCK STREET Tall and quiet, Bill possesses the remarkable quality of always being on time. He has received enviable recognition for this record, achieved by only a few in the school's history, of never having been tardy or absent in twelve years of attendance, This is an achievement to be proud of, and it is this diligent dependability that characterizes him in everything he does. Bicycling serves both as a means of transportation and a sport of leisure for Bill, who is a familiar sight biking in and around Hanover waving to all his friends. He is a movie fan as soon as the sun sets, and he also enjoys woodworking. CHARLES GUY SMITH NORWICI-I, VERMONT Smitty's favorite pastime is undoubtedly the automobile. Cars were made to go on four wheels, but it has been said that Charlie tried driving his famous red jeep on two, accounting for the nickname, Suicide Smith. He drives a puck with a force com- parable to that of the horseless carriage, and there are those who can see a definite re- semblance to the way each is controlled. When not behind the wheel of his jeep, he may be tinkering with it or another car down at Southworth's Garage where many of his cronies can be found, and the alfairs of the day discussed. Hockey 1, 3, 43 Baseball 1, 3, 4. MARIAN LINDA STEVENS GREENSBORO ROAD Mischievous brown eyes and an ever-ready smile greet customers in Lou's every afternoon and evening where Marian is a waitress. Hoping some day to own her own motel or restaurant, she is gaining the needed experience in this line of work. A nimble- lingered typist, Marian spends many hours keeping in good order the correspondence and records of the Audio-Visual Aides Department. Another important position that Marian ably fulfills is that of the Head Librarian. Stray encyclopedias and scattered magazines never manage to get very far from her sight. Although she wears a ring on the third linger of her left hand, Marian plans to study for a year or two in business school before marriage.

RICHARD PAUL TROTTIER LYME, NEW HAMPSHIRE No one can feel unhappy or down in the dumps when Dick is around, for his roaring peals of laughter and loud gulfaws never fail to put everyone at ease. Dick enjoys life, whether he is exercising his vocal cords by calling a square dance or just plain exercis- ng as he hunts for his annual deer. One of his hobbies is automobiles, and he spends 1 great deal of time working on his Blue Comet Model A Ford, which seems to reflect mis own gay zest for life. Dick has interests on the quieter side too, for he is an excellent artist and proof of his ability can he found adorning the walls of Miss Spongberg's studio. This talent likewise stands him in good stead in Mechanical Drawing where me excels with a triangle and T-square. DANIEL PETER WATERMAN NORWICH, VERMONT If one could be paid for getting into trouble, Pedro would be rich. If he were given 'ull rein on Hallowe'en, in a few short hours he could provide work for a full crew of killed carpenters and repairmen. A true lover of fun, Pete can seldom be found in L dejected mood, and he is quite capable of making the worst tragedy seem funny. One- lever sees him when he isn't snappily dressed, all the way from an immaculate pair of vhite bucks to a dazzling plaid cap. lf, on some Monday morning, he should come to chool with his eyes half closed, one might assume that he had had a hard week-end. lsually this isn't the case, however, for Pedro spends many busy hours squinting in his larkroom as he pursues his ambition of becoming a professional photographer.

JLIVE MAY WATSON NORWICH, VERMONT When Olive moved from Merrimac, Massachusetts to Norwich this year, she quickly gained the distinction of being the shortest member of the class of '54. Perhaps this ,hort stature is to her advantage when she is scrambling through the underbrush in earch of wild game, for Olive is not only an enthusiastic huntress, she is a crack shot resides. She is fortunate, for she has spent many enjoyable hours riding over the back 'oads of Norwich on one of her three horses. Exercise seems to agree with Olive, as she ilso roller skates and ice skates. Uncle Sam's call for women volunteers will be answered n June as Olive plans to join one of the armed services. Senior Choir 4-. PHILIP NORRIS WATSON 7 BARRYMORE ROAD A strong believer in the rights and strength of the individual, Phil has always been mafraid to stand up for himself in a forthright way. One of the highest ranking students ,n his class, he has long amazed everyone with his speed at getting work done, and myone who dares to question his scholastic ability should be prepared for this retort, 'What's your average, Buddy? No longer is he able to convince anyone that he has iterally Hunked a test. for he is always close to the top, especially in the realm of mathe- natics. Throughout high school Phil has played an important role in athletics, centering ,he '53 football team and being a hockey standout.
