Has anyone ever seen Leon when he couldn't find something humor ous to say? We’re willing to bet he thoroughly enjoyed playing Sweetie” Jackson in the Senior Play. AGAN. WILLIAM StuntNight 1.2. 3. 4; HomeRoom President 1, 3; Bnskt thall I. 2. 3; Baseball 1. 2; Scrap Drive 1.2; Sophomore Night 2; Outing Club 2,3.4; Home RfK m Activities 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Stage Crew, Senior Play 4. Bill can always do something to test the patience ot any and every teacher. But he’s a very handy person to have around when there’s a stage to set. for he’s one person who’s not afraid to pitch in and help. ALBANESE. MAFELDA Home Room Committees 1. 2, 3; Thanksgiving Assembly 1; Scrap Drive I; Football Hop 2; War Stamp Salesman 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Stunt Night 3; Newspaper Typist 3; Home Room Treasurer 4; Freshman Reception 4; Dramatic Club 4; Senior Play 4. When it comes to gum-chewing, all experts bow to Malclda. You’ve got to hand it to her she’s tops. She can blow bubbles with just about any kind of gum if it’s stale enough. And with Fleer’s Dubble Bubble, she’s in her glory. ALDRICH. ALTON Thanksgiving Assembly 1; Scrap Drive 1. 2; Home Room Cleanup Committee 1. 2; Home Room Activities 2. 3. 4; War Stamp Campaign 3; Stunt Night 3. 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Newspaper Typist 3; Freshman Reception 4; Baseball 4. An irrepressible prankster, Alton has what every successful practical joker must have: the ability to look innocent, no matter what he’s done. 19 ALGER, MADELINE Homeroom Activities 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Home Room Secretary 4; Stunt Night 4. Madeline is seldom at a loss for words to express her feelings. Her acid comments have paralysed many a group with uncontrollable laughter. BAGLEY. NELLIE Quechee: Glee Club 1. 2; Sports Club 1. 2; Christmas Play 1; Scrap Drive 1.2; Prize Speaking 2; C lass Secretary 2.

The quota of prospective nurses seems to run high in the Class of '46. Pat's one of them. During tire past four years, as you can see from the above, our class baby's main extracurricular activities have been those connected with music. BEANE. MARINE Stunt Night 1, 3; Thanksgiving Assembly 1; Home Room Activities 2. 3. 4; Usher, Junior Prom 3; Scrap Drive 1; Glee Club 3. “Beanie” can be depended on to keep things going. She's on of the storm centers of those gales of giggles that rock Room 5 every morning and afternoon. 20 BEAUREGARD. JEANETTE Dramatic Club 4; Sports Club 4; Senior Play 4; Prize Speaking 4; Stunt Night 4. It is doubtful if any class ever had a greater number o! valuable m w-coiners in one year as we have just had. Not the least among tin m is Jeanette. Her mischievous smile and infectious giggle quickly helped make her one of us. BEMENT. HEILENE Stunt Night I, 2, 3, 4; Home Room Activities 1.2; Hand 1. 2. 3. 4 (Secretary 3, President 4); Home Room Vice-President 1; Operetta 1; Newspaper 1; Home Room President 2. 4; Glee Club 2, 3; School Cff.ce 2, 3, 4; Thanksgiving Assembly 1; Marshal at graduation 2; War stamp Campaign 3; Prize Speaking 3; Home Room Treasurer 3; Junior Prom Committee (General Chairman )3; Cheerleader 3, 4; One-act play 3; a Capclla Choir 3. 4; Orchestra 4; New England Music Festival 4‘-Vermont Music Festival 4; Student Council (President) 4; Senior Play 4; Brass Sextette 4; Swing Band 4.

Ann’s a smooth gal who always looks just right. And she has the cutest giggle. Her patience makes her a good class treasurer and basketball manager. 21 CHAPIN. GLENN Stunt Night I; S. A. B. 1; Home Room Activities 1.2; Home Room Secretary 1; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra I; Basket! all 1. 2, 3. 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Homo Room Treasurer 2; Home Room President 2, 3; Baseball 3; ( lass Treasurer 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Home Room Representative 4; Student Council 4; YearBcok Staff 4. Equally at home in the lab or on the athletic field, Glenn has helped put over many a surprise in both places. But wi can't ray he likes English literature. CHITTENDEN.

If Lowell Thomas. H. V. Kaltenborn, the Esso news reporter, and all the others rho ild suddenly vanish away, we wouldn't be without news not with Hemanf Seriously, though, he knows more about what's going on in the world than just about anyone we know. COLTON. ARTHl R Thetford Academy: Baseball 1; Basketball 1; Home Room Activities 1; Scrap Drive 1; Glee Club 1, C hristmas Play I. H. H. S.: Baseball 2, 3. 4; Scrap Drive 2; Home Room Activities 2; Usher at Graduation 2; Magazine Campaign 3. Arthur has that all too rare quality: courtesy! And as if that weren't enough, he has curly hair! Usually lie's quiet, but every once in a while he comes out with a remark that thoroughly tickles everyone. COUTERMARSH. LUCILLE Thanksgiving Assembly 1; Home Room Activities I, 2, 3; Scrap Drive 2. By herself, Lucille is quiet, but team her up with “Beanie and “Dolly and you have as happy-go-lucky a trio as you can find anywhere. 22 COUTERMARSH. MARK Homo Room Activities 1, 2. 3; Model Airplanes 1; Clean-up Committee 1,2; Scrap Drive 2; Junior Prom Committee 3; School Office 4; Stunt Night 3; Sports Club 4; Christmas Pageant 4. If you never saw Mark around school, you’d certainly notice him at the market. He rapidly developed into a good clerk, and seems to enjoy his work. FOGG, BARBARA Majorette I ; Glee Club 1. 2. 3; Stunt Night 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1. 2. 3. 4 (Co-captain 4); Home Room Activities 1. 2, 3; Scrap Drive 1; Thanksgiving Assembly 1; Football Hop 2; Cheerleader 1. 2. 3; Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4; Sophomore Night 2; Junior Prom Comimttee 3; a Cappella Choir 3. 4; Newspaper 3. 4 (Business Manager 4); Prize Speaking 3; School Office 4; Sports Club 4; One-act Play 4; Vermont Music Festival 4; Senior Play 4. Barbara is energetic enough to tackle almost anything basketball, cheerleading, prize speaking, and music organizations, to mention a few. And clothes! Oh. “Fogg”! FOCRNIER. HAROLD ! | Basketball I; Class President 1; Stunt Night 1. 2. 3. 4; Class Treasurer 2; Assistant Basketball Manager 2; Scrap Drive 2; Glee Club 2; Class Secretary 3; Home Room Activities 3; Home Room President 3; Dramatic Club 4; Senior Dance Committee 4; Home Room Secretary 4; Senior Fire Warden No. 2, 4. Yes, Harold has a voice, but as a rule his hands steal the show. No matter what subject he is discussing, he can make every last one of his listeners laugh. GATES. JEAN South Royalton High School: Basketball 1, 2. 3; One-act Play I. 2; Freshman Dance 1; Class Secretary 1; Home Room Activities I; Latin Club 2; Music 2; Softball 3; Junior Prom 3; Usher at Graduation 3; Three-act play 3; Debating Club 3. H. H. S.: Dramatic Club 4; Sports Club 4; Senior Play 4; One-act Play 4; Prize Speaking 4; Stunt Night 4. Jeanie is another newcomer to Hartford High, but she’s become so completely a part of the class that you'd think she’d always been here. Not content just to stand by and watch, she puts altogether too many of us to shame by her enthusiasm and interest. 23 GOULD. JOHN Basketball Manager 1, 2. 3; Stunt Night I. 2. 3; Home Room Activities I. 3; Football Manager 2; Scrap Drive 2; S. A. B. 2; Home Room Vice-president 2. 3; Prize Speaking 3; Baseball 3. 4; Dramatte Club 4; Senior Dance Committee 4; Senior Fireman 4. When you sec John, you are first .mpressed by Ins gay tie. As you are recovering from this initial shock, you begin to realize that he can put up a convincing argument. It doesn’t matter what the question is arguing is the spice of life for John. HALL. WILLIAM Thanksgiving Assembly I; Stunt Night I, 2; Home Room Activities 1, 2. 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Senior Play 4. We all despaired of Bill’s ever learning his lines for the Sen:or Play. Then, presto! About two days before the performance we found him promoting everyone els Trig and typing may get him down, but he has so mu.:h determination that he always pops right l ack up again! IIATHORN. BYRON Class Vice-president I. 3; Stunt Night 1. 2. 3; Home Room President I; Basketball 1; Class President 2; Assistant Football Manager 2; Home Room Activities 2. 3; Scrap Drive 2; Prize Speaking 3; Newspaper 3; Junior Prom Committee 3. The most solemn study hall can be instantly disrupted when Byron laughs. Whatever became of those fancy socks you were knitting, Byron? HAZEN, SHIRLEY Class Secretary 1, 2; Home Room Secretary I, 4; Home Room Treasurer 1; Glee Club 2. 3; Stunt Night 2, 3. 4; Home Room Activities 2. 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Newspaper 3; Dramatic Club 4; Priz Speaking Play 4; a Cappella Choir 4; Vermont Music Festival 4; Christmas Pageant 4. Qtii t and calm, Shirley never seems to get really excited. And that glossy dark hair is really something to admire. 24 HICKEN, RUTH Glee Club 3. Ruth’s ambitions lit in the field of aviation. Her ready smile and friendliness should help make her successful. HOISINGTON. RUSSELL Band 1, 2, 3. 4; Vermont Music Festival 4. No matter what the weather, Russell and his little car (and, incidentally. Annie and Stuart!) almost always managed to get through. It isn’t very big, but it can make pretty good time can't it, Russell? JACOBS. LOU DEAN Outing Club 4; Stunt Night 4; Property Manager, Senior Play 4; Dramatic Club 4. We got along without Lou Dean for a long time, but now that she's been with us for a year, we wonder how. Although her travels in themselves would make her interesting, she has personality besides. (P.S. we really mran it!) JACOBS, PAULINE Basketball I, 2, 3; Home Room Treasurer 1; Cheerleader I. 2, 3; Glee Club 2; Stunt Night 2. 3; Home Room Vice-president 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Newspaper Typist. Polly” is one of the best-dressed girls in school —and she makes most of those smart clothes herself! That’s a talent to be really proud of! And she can also play basketball and lead a cheer as well as sew a fine seam. 25 JANDRO, DOR IS Thanksgiving Assembly 1; Scrap Drive 1, 2; Home Room Activities 3; Librarian 4; Stunt Night Committee 4; Freshman Reception 4; Sports Club 4; Property Manager, Senior Play 4; Magazine Campaign 2, 3. We are indebted to Doris for her unfailing co-operation and friendliness. When there is any work to be done, we knew we can del end on her. KEMP. CARROLL Home Room Committees 3; Junior Prom 3 ; Stunt Night 4. Carroll not only does his work; he’s interested in it. We’re glad to have one person in school who comes to learn. KING. PAUL Orchestra 1; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball I. 2. 4; Baseball 1. 2, 3; Scrap Drive 2; Vermont Music Festival 2; Assistant Basketball Manager 3. Paul is now in California, where we hope he is using his trombone as well as he did here at Hartford High. KOLOSKI, MARY Quechee: Home Room President 2; Glee Club 2; Home Room Activities 3; Scrap Drive 2. H. H. S.: Glee Club 1; Home Room Activities 1. When we were freshmen. Mary left us to go to Quechee, but we welcomed her back last year, for there aren't many as pleasant and friendly as she is. 26 Larrabke. an Si if: Band I, 2. 3. 4; Glee Club 1,2,3; Thanksgiving Assembly 1; Home Room Activities 1. 2, 3; Yearbook Representative 1; Freshman Night 1; Newspaper 1; Scrap Drive 1, 2; Orchestra 2; Home Room Treasurer 2; Stunt Night 3; Junior Prom Assembly 3; Curtiss Campaign 3; Student Council 4; a Cappella Choir 4; Vermont Music Festival 4; Yearbook Staff 4. Annie's quiet voice and charm make her a favorite with everyone who knows her. But she's not the kind you can walk over— there’s another Annie with a fiery temp r and quick retort. We like her both ways. LUCE. STELLA Quechee: Glee Club 1.2; Assemblies 1.2; Home Room President 2. H. H. S.: Home Room Activities 3. Stella's another who came to us last year from Quechee. Her graciousness would make her a welcome addition to any class. MANNING. WILLIAM Home Room Activities 1. 2; Football 1. 2; Scrap Drive 1; Stunt Night 2. 3. 4; War Stamp Salesman 2; Class President 3; Junior Prom Committee 4; Fire Warden 4. Swish! Wasn't that Bill Manning? Are you always in a hurry. Bill? MAXFIELD. LOUIS South Royalton High School: Junior Play 3. Louis has been with us only a short time, but that's been long enough for us to appreciate hi9 earnestness and sincerity of effort, which should make him as successful after graduation as he ha9 been during school. 27 OSGOOD. CAROLYN Stunt Night 1. 4; Horae Room Vice-president 1; Scrap Drive I; Thanksgiving Assembly I; Home Room Activities 1. 2; Freshman Night I; Home Room Treasurer 2; Home Room President 2. 3; Latin Club 2. 3 (Consul 3); Newspaper 2; Junior Prom Committee 3; Stunt Night Committee 3; School Office 3. 4; Class President 4; Student Council 4; Stage Crew, Senior Play 4; Freshman Reception 4. As natural as a clown “Ozzie is nobody’s fool Where she picks up her weird expressions still remains a mystery. We couldn't ask for a better friend or class president. PATCH, LOUISE Home Room Committees 1. 2. 3; Band I; Glee Club 1; Scrap Drive 1; Thanksgiving Assembly 1; Ration Board 1; Latin Club 2. 3 (Nun-tius 3); School Office 2. 3; Home Room Representative 2. 3; Student Council 3; Newspaper representative 2. 3; Basketball 3, 4; Librarian 3; Yearbook Staff 4; Senior Play 4; Stunt Night Committee 4. Louise is our idea of a leaning post. She can always uphold her end of the deal, and her willingness to go ahead has helped us “many-a-time” during our years together. PELKIE. GARFIELD Qucchee: Home Room Committees I; Treasurer 1; Stamp Collector 1. H. H. S.: Clean-up Committee 2. 3; Stunt Night 3; Foot I all Manager 3; Outing Club 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Football 4. We always thought Garfield was a quiet person. Well, he is but he also has a definite sense of humor. His 5000-word essay on the history of Rome should have proved interesting. PITKIN. CHARLES Baseball 1, 2. 4; Home Room Activities 1. 2. 3; Scrap Drive 1; Military Drill 1; Basketball 2. 3, 4; Magazine Campaign 3; Outing Club 3. 4; Stage Crew. Senior Play 4. Although known as “Pickles,” Charlie isn't the gloomy type. On the contrary, lie’s an optimist who never seems to run out of optimism. 28 QUINLAN. NANCY Home Room Secretary 1. 3; Stunt Night Committee I. 2; Home Room Activities 1. 2, Basketball 1, 2, 3. 4 (Co-captain 4); Glee Club 1. 3; S. A. B. 1; Scrap Drive 1; Home Room Vice-President 2; Sophomore Night Committee 2; Latin Club 2; Magazine Campaign 2; Marshal at Graduation 2; Junior Prom Committee 3; Librarian 3; Representative to Recreation Council 3 ;a Cappella Choir 3. 4; Student Council alternate 4; Senior Dance Committee 4; New England Music Festival 4; Vermont Music Festival 4; Dramatic Club 4 (Secretary); Senior Play 4; Prize Speaking Play 4; Stunt Night 4. In Nancy we have an all-around girl— good at music and sports, and with lots of friends. She won’t admit it, but under that smooth dark hair is a line and original mind. REEVES. GEORGE Basketball I. 2. 3. 4; Home Room Activities I, 2. 3; Scrap Drive 1. 2; Baseball I. 2. 3. 4; Football 1; Magazine Campaign 2. 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Clean-up Committee 3; Sports Club 4; Freshman Reception 4; Stunt Night 4. George has always been a pleasant fellow, but after he began making those long shots on the basketball court last year, and was “discovered” on a large scale, more people began to realize that old friends are the best ones, after all. ROMANO. PAULINE Home Room Activities 1. 2. 3; Home Room Secretary 1, 2, 3; Ration Board 1; Glee Club 2; Clean-up Committee 2; Stunt Night 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; War Stamp Campaign 3; Prize Speaking 4; Freshman 4; Dramatic Club 4. Polly's capable and efficient—her three years as home room secretary proved that. But she also loves conversation—the number of times she has been requested to stay after school for Miss Uric (and her many narrow escapes!) proves that! SANTAW. LORRAINE Home Room Activities I. 2. 3; Glee Club 1. 2. 3; Stunt Night 3; Majorette 3; War Stamp Campaign 3; a Cappella Choir 3; Dramatic Club 4. Lorraine s the kind of friend to have. She doesn't impose herself on you. but when you need her, she’s there. In a word, she s loyal. 29 SANDERS. CLIFTON Stunt Night !. 2. 3. 4; Home Room Activities I, 2. 3; Scrap Drive 1; Band 1; Basketball I. 4; Ration Board 2; Baseball 2. 3. 4; Home Room President 2; Junior Prom Committee 3; Home Room Vice-president 4; Prize Speaking Play 4; Armistice Day Assembly 4. Clifton's dry wit is made even better because lie can tell jokes with a straight face. His good humor seldom fails him, and he doesn’t cherish grudges. SARGENT. JANE Stunt Night 1, 2, 3; Home Room Committees I. 2. 3; Scrap Drive 1; Glee Club 1. 2. 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Hartfordians 3; Newspaper Typist 3; Senior Play 4; One-act Play 4; Dramatic Club 4; Senior Dance Committee 4. It’s our opinion that Jane got her full share of talent! Ever hear her play the piano? Ever notice the display windows at J. J’s” last year when Jane was working there? SC ELZA. ANTHONY Stunt Night Committee I. 2. 3; Scrap Drive 1; Football 1; Basketball I, 2, 3. 4; Thanksgiving Assembly 1; Sophomore Night 2; Home Room Committee 1. 2; Oratorical Contest 2; Junior Prom Committee 3; Glee Club 1. 2. 3, 4; Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3. 4 (President 4); School Office 4; One-act Plays 3; Junior Prom Assembly 3; War Stamp Campaign 3; a Capp. lla Choir 3, 4; Newspaper Typist 3; Yearbook Staff (Editor-in-chief) 4; Freshman Reception Com-mittee 4; New England Music Festival 4; Vermont Music Festival 2. 4; Cheerleaders 2. 3. 4; Senior Play 4; Glee Club Concert and Operetta 1; Prize Speaking 3; Christmas Pageant 4; Prize Speaking Chairman 4. Tony is always busy, but he always seems to find time for new activities, and all the dances around. And no one has anything on him when it comes to ambition. SHEPARD. STUART Home Room Committee 1, 2. 3; Band 1. 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 2; Vermont Music Festival 2. 4; Brass Sextet. Stuart is the band member you never see—the fellow behind the bass horn. Indispensable in the band; he is also indispensable as far as Bill Hall’s progress in math is concerned. 30 SMITH. LAWRENCE Home Room Committees I, 2, 3; Glee Club 1. 2, 3. 4; Clean-up Committee 2; Stunt Night 2; Scrap Drive 2; Band 3. 4; Orchestra 3. 4; a Cipp-Ua Choir. 3. 4; H irtfordians 3; Christmas Pageant 4; Prize Speaking 4; New England Music Festival 4; Vermont Music Festival 4; Senior Play 4; Swing Band 4. Lawrence is the human joke anthology. Most of them are original, if not always funny. He works a sizable amount of music between thinking up witticism?. STINE, CLAIRE Home Room Representative 1; Horn - Room Committees t. 2, 3; Home Room Secretary 3; Assemblies 3; Dramatic Club 4 (Treasurer); prize Sp‘akin.; Chairman 4. Christmas Pageant 4. Claire is a real lady—she can enjoy herself and strll be polite. Her ambition is to become a hairdresser and we know she will make a perfect c iff. usc. SUMNER. ALAN Home Room Representative 1.4; Stunt Night I, 2. 3; Freshman Night Committee I; Football 1. 2; Bask tfcall 1. 2. 3; Home Room Committees 2. 3; Freshman Reception 4; Home Room President 4. The class of '46 seems to be well supplied with comedians. Among them is Alan, who is often at his funniest when he is serious, strange as it may seem. SVVASEY. ANNIE Him - Room Committees 1. 2. 3; Glee Club 1. In srhool Annie is so quiet that few people have become acquainted with her. Outside, however, she seems to enjoy life as much as anyone. 31 THOMAS, DORIS Qucchee: Glee Club I. 2; Assemblies 1, 2,; Basketball 2. H. H. S.: Home Room Committees 3. The only thing we regret about Doris coming is that it didn't happen sooner, so that we could have known her better. Her friendly smile is worth a lot. TRUELL. ELAINE Stunt Night 1.3; Home Room Committees I, 2, 3; Work at Ration Board 1; Glee Club 2, 3; War Stamp Campaign 3. In cast you’ve forgotten, Dolly’s real name is Elaine, though the former seems to suit her better. She may be small, but she has a huge supply of good-temperedness and a knack for always being well-dressed. TURNER. FRANCIS Quechee: Home Room Committee 1; Glee Club 1. H. H. S.: Home Room Committee 2, 3. F'rancis fools you. He seems quiet, but there’s always something going on where he is. It's his face turning red that gives him away. W AGONER. BERNICE South Royalton: Freshman Play 1; Concert 1. 2; Debating 1. H. H. S.: Stunt Night 3; Magazine Campaign 3; Freshman Reception 4. Bernice is quiet, but she has a pleasant voice and smile, and those who know her liest will tell you that she can combine seriounsess and humor in just the right proportions. 32 WALKER. MARV Thanksgiving Ass-mbly 1; Home Room Activities 1. 2. 3; Stunt Night 1; Junior Prom Committee 3; St itt Manager. Prize Speaking Play 4; War Stamp Campaign 3; Freshman Reception Committee 4. We like Mary for h r serenity and for her quiet friendliness. She can't help smiling even when she's angry! WOOD. PAUL Home Room Committees 1, 2. 3; Scrap 1,2; Thanksgiving Assembly I; Band 2; Usher at graduation 2; Newspaper Typist 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Sports Club 4; Stage Crew, Senior Play 4. Paul's another who has helped keep up the morale of the class, both by his humor and by his readiness to pitch in and helporhetp'ssake, not for personal recognition. We hear he learned to make mighty nice muffins in Home Economics. WRIGHT. HAROLD Basketball 1. 3. 4; Home Room Committee 1. 2; Stunt Night I. 2. 3; Scrap Drive !; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; State Music Festival 2. 4; a Cappella Choir 3, 4; Prize Speaking 3. 4; Hom - Room Vice-president 3. 4; Junior Prom Committee 3; Newspaper Typist 3: Baseball 3. 4; One-act Play 3. 4; New England Music Festival 4; Senior Play 4; Yearbook Staff (Advertising Manager) 4; Christmas Pageant 4. Dana” is the little fellow (not so little any more!) with the big grin. Why were you so bashful at Senior Play rehearsals. Dana?” 33 To the fellows in service: We of the ('lass of 1946 take this opportunity to remember our former ( lass-mates who were, and are, now in service. To them we extend our best wishes for immediate and future successes. 34 Senior Play Friday evening, November 30th, the Senior Class presented the comedy, “Cash and Carrie.” In spite of the heavy snowfall, there was a good attendance. Mrs. Roy assisted in selecting the cast, but after her departure, the full burden of directing the play fell on Miss Uric. We are grateful to her for her guidance, but secretly wonder where she got all that patience. At length came the evening of the great performance, preceeded by much doubt and apprehension. But everyone enjoyed the plav (or at least seemed to), so apparently it was a success. Louise Patch played the part of the mother, Carrie Ferguson, a little hazy where money and budgets were concerned. Her children were Marylin (14) Jane Sargent whose sole occupation is getting dates for herself and her friend Judy Bowen (13) Jeannette Beauregard. Judy was rather interested in Carrie’s only son, Trig (16) Bill Hall but he hardly knew she existed. Heilene Bement was Alberta, the eleven-year-old brat, and everyone knows she did a wonderful job. And we mustn’t forget Ann Cameron and Dana W right. Ann was Ann Ferguson, “torn between a business career and love,” as the program read, “love,” of course meaning Bradley Kirkwood (Dana Wright). Anthony Scelza was the Ferguson’s Uncle Omar Tully, a blustery old gentleman who was wrapped up in politics. Carrie’s crony, Jenny Wharton, was played by Nancy Quinlan. Mafelda Albanese played Dorthula, the colored maid. Last, but certainly not least, were the roomers, Earl Cornic (Lawrence Smith), Gerty (Barbara Fogg) and Sweetie Jackson (Leon Adam), a collection of highly amusing people as everyone who saw the play knows. The next evening the play was presented at the Veterans’ Hospital. 35 Our Junior Prow May 4, 1945 36 Junior Class Firxl row. left ,o right-. Ellon Holt. Verla Peoples. June Doubleday.

The next trip was a toboggan party in Norwich. One Saturday night the members gathered in the gym for an evening of games and dancing. It was decided early in the year that it would be best to have two groups, due to the large membership. The groups were divided alphabetically and both groups meet during activity periods for business meetings and periods of physical education. 43 Band First jour. Catherine Patch. Janice Vaughan.

The event was the New Hampshire Music Festival and we were invited to be a guest band. The All-State Festival was held May 9, 10, and 11 in Burlington. Those chosen to attend from Hartford included: Catherine Patch, Janice Vaughan, Glenn Chapin, Annie I.arrabee, Roberta Perkins, Norma Chase, Russell Hoising-ton, Rita Wood, Betty Chase, Joseph Choquette, Patricia Bayliss, Jane Wright, and Stuart Shephard. Those people went on Thursday and the whole band went for an audition on Saturday. 45 Newspaper First row. left to ri ht : Patricia Healey, Gucrino Filosa. Leo Johnson. Barbara Fogg, John Simonds.

This year the school paper kept last year’s name with a slight variation, the ‘‘Hartford High-Lights” becoming the “Hartford Hi-Litcs.” Most of the members of the staff were new but with Leo Johnson, Guarino Filosa, Barbara Fogg, and Nancy Call from last year’s staff to form the backbone, the paper got off to a good start under Miss Johnson’s able leadership. Besides the regular school news, new columns were added and the editor wrote some peppery editorials. The staff was as follows: F.ditor in Chief Business Manager . Sports Editor . Feature Editor. Gossip Editors . Exchange Editor Junior High Editor . Assistant Junior High Editor Advertising Manager Circulation Manager ilori Leo Johnson Barbara Fogg John Si mom Is Guarino Filosa i Grant, Patricia Healy David Burgess Joan Healy Nancy Caff Raffeale Guarino Raymond Nalette Reporters: Lilyan DcPalo, Dorothy Vaughan, Louise Patch, Guarino Filosa, Lois Jorgensen, Joanne Benjamin, Betty Baird, and Morrison Rogers. 46 Football First row: Garfield Pelkie.

Kendall, Savage, Wood, Goodrich, LaFoe, Sanderson, Gauthier, and Adams. Glenn Chapin was outstanding in the I ackficld, and Sacco, Coutermanche, Pelkie, and Martiniuk stood out in the line. Glenn carried the ball and did his share in the secondary defense. Louis and Donald were great in the line of defense and along with Garfield opened up a good many holes in the opponents lines. Henry snared the long passes for large gains and touchdowns. We lose only two regulars, Glenn and Garfield, from the squad this year. With the veterans from this year, and those who have some experience on the field, we look forward to a gcxxl season in ’46.

The 4-H Club, a national organization for rural youth, is a new club at Hartford High. Several girls who had been 4-H members in the county decided to interest other girls in becoming members, so our local club was organized in the fall. The following officers were elected: President...........................................Stella Adams Vice-President........................................ Kllen Holt Secretary............................................. Joyce Cole The sensor is Miss Fansher. Since the 4-H’s represent the four-fold development of the Head, Heart, Hands, and Health, each girl has participated in a meeting by giving a demonstration pertaining to one of the 4-H’s. One of the twice-monthly meetings was devoted to working on a chosen project. With our motto “To Make the Best Better” in mind, we look forward to another successful year with more girls interested in the 4-H Club. 48 Latin Club First row, left to right: Janet Whitcomb.

At the first meeting the following officers were elected: Consuls..............................June Bogle, Catherine Patch ......................................Patricia Collins Quaestor.........................................Patricia Healy Nuntius......................................................Paul Chapin The members have enjoyed Christmas and Valentines parties, a Washington and Lincoln program, a pot-luck supper, and a banquet. A tea is being planned for later in the spring. 49 Dance Bajul This year the school witnessed the opening of a new era in the progress of dance bands in H. H. S. This era opened with the death of the Hartfordians. The school felt that it was time for us to have an improved band, and Mr. Bush was engaged to start a real dance band. Mr. Bush organized an eighteen piece band which rehearsed in activity periods, and this band was a success. We played at school and also made an appearance at the Veterans’ Hospital. However, the band proved to be too large and too expensive to operate very extensively. The music that this band owned was turned over to another group, to be used by the present dance band, operated by students. This band, composed of eleven pieces, now operates inside and outside of H. H. S. The first outside engagement was at Lebanon High. This band is a co-operative organization, owned and operated by the students who make it up. The proceeds from these appearances are used to pay for music, new fronts, and lights. This band hopes to continue to operate next year. Basketball Ftrstrow.left to right: Anthony Scelza. Conrad Johnson, Louis Sacco. Glenn Chapin, captain. George Reeves, Don-ald Kendall.

Although most of the games were losses, Hartford did come up with seven victories for the season. The Ix-st game of the season was the second game with West Rutland on our own court. It was an upset to the basketball fans, but the boys went into the game full of aggressiveness which put them on top in a very close game. The team was sparked all season by its captain, C.lenn Chapin. Glenn was a splendid guard, and his quick thinking and perfect ability to set up plays helped the team, win or lose, to put up a well fought battle. The team loses Glenn, George Reeves, Charlie Pitkin and Anthony Scelza. all dependable players, through graduation, but with high-scoring Sacco, Conrad Johnson, Donald Kendall, and the subs, Choquette, Simonds, and Fletcher left, Coach Adams has a promising line-up for next year.

The choir has many more engagements promised before the end of the year. In May we went to Burlington for an audition, and as the year book gens to press we are planning to go to Gloucester for another audition. 57 Arts and Crafts The Arts and Crafts Club is a new adventure at Hartford High. Miss DiPalira started it in September and when she left Mr. Hall, the new Manual Training teacher, continued the dub. The club had an exhibit which was placed in one of the store windows in White River. This display consisted of the various articles made by the club members. We hope that this club will continue to hold forth next year. 58 59 60 Glee Club First raw. left o right: Shirley Dugan. Regina Bovac, Caroline Carlisle. Violet Romano. Elizabeth Chase.

Instead of the usual Christmas Concert, the Dramatic Club and the Glee Club under the direction of Miss Uric and Mrs. Whitcomb, presented a pageant. The Junior High Glee Club also sang many carols. This year five members of the Glee Club attended the New England Music Festival in New Britain, Connecticut, March 20-23. They were: Nancy Quinlan, Heilene Bement, Patricia Bayliss, Anthony Scelza, and Harold Wright. Also eleven members plan to attend the State Festival in Burlington, May 10 and 11. They are Nancy Tenney, Marietta Proctor, Shirley Dugan, Heilene Bement, Nancy Quinlan, Leon Adams, Francis Pilosa, Harold Wright, Anthony Scelza, Alfred Gauthier and Robert Packard. Two groups of students attended the Metropolitan Opera in Boston during the spring. One group went April 10 to see “Carmen, and the other saw “Romeo and Juliet” the 6th. The Glee Club is divided into two groups, the boys’ and the girls’. Both groups sang for Prize Speaking. 61 Orchestra First row. left to rinht: Margaret Hoisington, Lenroy Nott, Lilyan DcPalo.

The Orchestra this year is composed of students, not only from the high school, but from all the schools in the Hartford School District. We practice during activity periods and after school, and have grown and improved greatly since the start of the organization. Mr. Bush directs the orchestra, most of the time, and instructs the wind instruments, and Mr. Parker has been instructing the strings for the past three years. Mrs. Whitcomb has also directed us when it has been impossible for Mr. Bush to be here. Eight members, Lilyan DePalo, Patricia Collins, Lawrence Smith, Anne Lyman, Janet Whitcomb, Heman Chittenden, Albert Savage, and Marie Hutchinson attended the State Festival, and one, Lawrence Smith, went to the New England Festival in New Britain, Conn. We appeared at the Senior Play and at Graduation. 62 Baseball This year Coach Adams had seven letter-men to start off his team.

The class of '46 were “mighty freshmen”—well, at least, freshmen. Eighty-one wondering students settled themselves in Rooms 1 and 15 under the sponsorship of Miss Van Deusen and Miss Barnet. At our first class meeting we elected the follow ng officers: President....................................... Harold Fournier Vice-President.....................................Byron Hathorn Secretary......................................Shirley Hazen Treasurer......................................Ann Cameron S. A. B............................. Nancy Quinlan, Glenn Chapin Along came Stunt Night and we presented “The Bagley Mansion Murder,” written by Anthony Scelza and Dora Norris. The judges somehow missed us when the prizes were passed out, but we had a lot of fun any how. We realized how close to us the war really was when, in the spring, Robert Trottier left us to join the Navy. Our first year came to a close, and the class of '46 looked to be a very promising group. SOPHOMORE YEAR We were all eager to come back to H. H. S. as Sophomores and turn the “green freshman” title over to others, also to see many of the classmates that we had lost contact with during the summer vacation. We discovered five unfamiliar faces who turned out to be Ruth Hicken, Garfield Pelkie, Marylin Kcni-son, Roma Gallup and Arthur Burge. Nevertheless, our class was decreasing as we lost seven this year. They were Dora Norris, Francis Quint, Ruth Gilman, Carlene and Anita White, and Edward Martiniuk. This year we inhabited Rooms 6 and 7 with our sponsors, Miss Hannifin, Miss Anderson, and Mrs. Roy. We elected the follow ing officers to rc President . Vice-President Secretary . Treasurer . Student Council present us this year: Byron Hathorn . Bernard Connolly Shirley Hazen . Harold Fournier Annie Larrabee, John Gould When Stunt Night rolled around, we proudly carried off the second prize for “Furlough for Bill.” 64 On Sophomore Night. March 4, wo sponsored a Sophomore Hop, an event at which we had a lot of fun. And, thus, our Sophomore Year became past history. . JUNIOR YEAR The class of '46 now became perhaps a little over-confident and |)om])ous Juniors. We took over Rooms 3 and 4 under the supervision of Miss McCarthy and Miss Kingsbury. We had several additions to the class. Stella Luce, Bernice Wagoner, Mary Koloski, Doris Thomas anti Richard Brissette joined us this year, but Uncle Sam decreased our population. Joseph Foley, Bernard Connolly, Richard Benjamin, and Joseph Senical joined the armed services. We also lost Betty BoClair, Martha Cone, Roma Gallup, Louise Perkins, and William Knowles. The boys took over at the first class meeting and the following officers were elected: President.......................................William Manning Vice-President....................................Byron Hat horn Secretary....................................... Harold Fournier Treasurer.........................................Glenn Chapin It was a big year for us all. Heilene Bement and “Tony” Scelza walked off with top honors in the Annual Watson Prize Speaking. For Stunt Night, we presented “A Soldiers Dream” for which we were awarded second prize. Along came Junior Prom! None of us will ever forget the hours spent in making it a success. And it was a success socially, if not financially. The gym was beautifully decorated in blue and white and the music by the “Vermonters” was very good. Came June, and the Juniors became Seniors as the class of ’45 graduated and Robert Eske handed the Hartford Key to President W illiam Manning. SENIOR YEAR September 1945. We had reached the goal that we had worked for for eleven years. We entered H. H. S. as Seniors. However, there were only 58 left out of a class of 81. We lost Alfred Barrows, Arthur Howard, and Kenneth Fogg to Uncle Sam. Richard Brissett, Lucille Leavitt, Marilyn Kenison, Virginia Hlight's, and Faith Marshall also left our class. 65 Realizing how important it was to have competent leaders our last and most important year of school, we elected the following officers: President..........................................Carolyn Osgood Vice-President Secretary . Treasurer . Sergeant-at-Arms Attorney at Law Our sponsors were Miss Urie and Miss Barnet. William Manning . Louise Patch Ann Cameron Dana Wright Heman Chittenden Our first big event was the Senior Play entitled “Cash and Carrie” a three-act comedy. Under the direction of Miss Urie it proved to be a great success. The Seniors again walked off with top honors in Prize Speaking. This year Jean Gates and Dana Wright won the first prizes. Stunt Night was held in March and this year we didn’t do so well in spite of the time and efforts spent by the Stunt Night Committee but we did come in third. The Senior Dance was held April 27. Music was furnished by the “Hart-fordians,” alias the “Hi-Hats.” The rest of the year was spent in publishing the yearbook and preparing for graduation. We are now about to graduate. We’ve had a lot of fun with, perhaps, a few tears along with the laughter. But in the years to come when we look into the past, we know we’ll all realize the years spent at H. H. S. were among the happiest of our lives. 66 Class Prophecy TIME: 1966. PLACE: Mellvue Hospital, New York City The wind was beating the rain against the window of the Mellvue Hospital. The slow but steady drip-drip-drip of the rain was counting my last few hours of consciousness, as the clock counts the seconds in a minute, the minutes in the hour. The fog before my eyes was getting thicker, making it hard for me to see clearly. I heard voices and could see two figures clad in white. I could hear two names being spoken. One was I)r. Carolyn Osgood, the other, Miss Patch. I had heard a lot of their work. They had become famous in the world as a celebrated doctor-nurse team, who operated an expensive hospital in Washington to pay for the charity Mellvue Hospital in New York City. All of a sudden the fog seemed to close in on me. For a while I was in a different world. I could hear voices singing and calling me on. I wasn't dead, just in a deep coma. 1 rose from the bed and went to the closet to get my clothes. The mirror was on the wall. I looked in it and saw nothing. 1 was an invisible man! I was trying to realize what had happened, but couldn't. All 1 knew was I could become invisible at will. 1 went to the Grand Central Station and decided to go to White River Junction, Vermont, to see if 1 could find out from the school records, what had happened to some of the students with whom I had gone to school. On the train 1 was sitting beside a couple who looked familiar. They were Harold Fournier and Shirley Hazen. 1 heard them talking about their lives since graduation in 1946 and found out that they had been married in 1946 and had three children. All of whom were going to Hartford High School and Shirley and Harold were visiting them. Harold had gone to New York and opened a delicatessen store with Shirley. Down the isle came the conductor. I turned. 1 knew I had recognized the voice. It was Russell Hoisington. He had told ire once he liked to ride on trains, but 1 didn't think that he would ever become a conductor. The train was almost in White River when a young man ran down the isle with popcorn and peanuts. No, it couldn’t be—it was—Alan Sumner. He had enough peanuts and popcorn in his box to tide him over for a week. I reached my hand in the lx)x as he ran back past me and tried to pull out a bag of popcorn. 1 couldn’t. He had nailed them down. White River Junction, Vermont! How it had changed. The streets weren’t tar any more; they were concrete. I walked down South Main Street and when I was near the end of the street I saw Dana Wright. He was dressed in evening clothes. 1 followed him as he went down Nutt Lane towards a large 67 white building on which I could see a sign, “Santaw’s Clip Joint.” So Lorraine Santaw had opened a night club. As I walked past the guard (who couldn't see me, as I was invisible), I saw Dana Wright on the stage. And Lawrence Smith was there, too. 1 picked a seat of my choice and sat in it. I was in the front row (around the floor), so I saw the whole floor show. The show started with Lawrence and his City Slickers playing ‘‘Jo-Jo Hot Shot Sly” and then Dana Wright mtertained us with his own rendition of “Take Me Out to the Pall Game.” The last number of the program was a duet by Dana and Lorraine, who sang “Not Today. Tomorrow.” I slept in comfort that night! I stayed in Hotel Rolu which was run by two of my former student-pals, Pauline Romano and Lucille Coutermarsh. They had bought the former Hotel Coolidge and made it over into a paying business. (I had always wondered why the girls bought five-cent ice cream cups instead of ten-cent cups. Now 1 knew! They put the other nickel towards their hotel). After a good night’s sleep, I decided to visit the high school and see what I could learn about the rest of the Class of 1946. The files were in the office, but 1 first wanted to look around the building. How it had changed! There were no more squeaky stairs, no more dark corners. (The school had been rebuilt because a class, like the one of 1946, was as noisy and destructible as we had been and the need fora new school was great.) Instead of the old wooden stairs, there were concrete; instead of drak corners, there was modern lighting. 1 walked around the rooms of the building. In room No. 5 I saw a wastebasket with about five hundred “cuds” of gum .... so I knew Miss Urie must still be teaching; in room No. 1 there was hanging on the wall, an old Latin painting (Miss Van Deusen was still around); and then 1 went to room No. 2. 1 couldn’t believe my eyes. They had torn down the old partition between room No. 3 anti No. 2 and had put in a new partition of sound-proof walls. There was not a wooden desk or chair in the room. They were all metal. Miss Kingsbury was surely around! I then returned to the main hall and went into the office. I found the files, opened the drawers and found in a worn folder “The Class of 1946. I decided it would be best for me to take the folder elsewhere to see if I could find out where the rest of the class were working. I knew Miss Urie was still in town (the wastebasket with the gum told me that)! so I decided to see if she was staying at Domey’s. I walked out the door and to CascadnacAvenue. I knocked on the door and after a few minutes the door opened, slow, but steadily, and there stood Miss Urie. “Yes?” “Don’t you remember me, Miss Uric?” “I — I don’t see anyone, but I hear a voice.” (You should have seen Miss Urie’s face when she saw the folder floating in mid air!) So I walked in and sat on the sofa. Miss Urie came into the room and I started talking to her. It was amazing that she could hear me and no one else could. I identified myself and asked her if she could tell me where the rest of my former classmates were. She took the records (that were floating in the air, held by my invisible hand) and as she listed the students of the Class of ’46, she told me where they were working 68 at present. Since I had the power to make myself invisible at will. I thought 1 would have a lot of fun on the trip, (which 1 later found out would take me around the globe). I took the records back to Hartford High School and started on my journey. As I went through my list, I pulled several names out. There were Pauline Jacobs, Mary Walker, Marine Beane, Ann Cameron, Klaine Truell, and Jane Sargent whose names 1 had recognized at once. They were all working for the Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company in different parts of the country. Pauline Jacobs (who was now Mrs.) and Elaine Truell had gone to New ork City and had become supervisors for the Bell Company there. Ann Cameron had worked in Boston, Massachusetts, for several years but then quit the Bell firm and gone into Civil Service work in Washington, I). C., with Heman Chittenden (muscle man) as her boss. Mary Walker and Marine Beane had gone to Seattle, Washington, and had been operating the Pell Telephone ( ora-pany there, since 1947. Jane Sargent was listed on the files as still working in the White River Office. I wanted to see Jane, so 1 closed my folder and walked around the plant. I saw Jane standing near the main switchboard, teaching some of the new girls how to take toll calls. I wished I could talk to her, (but since I was a spirit and no one but Miss Urie could hear me, it would be useless to try), but realized I couldn't, so went on my way. Leon Adams, I remember, had wanted to establish a carpenter business in White River. I walked around town and after a few minutes of walking found an odd looking building. I walked up to its door and saw a sign, “Adams Carpi n-try.” He had made this odd looking building into a paying occupation. W illiam Agan, (who owned the Vermont Hardware with Charles Pitkin as the vice-president of the firm) had helped him along in his business by selling the hardware and pipes for the houses he had built. Nellie Bagiev was Leon’s partner and specialized in fixing roofs and installing electrical appliances. 1 had seen an eighth of the Class ol 1946 and had visited them . . . spiritually. I still had a long ways to go to see the rest of the class, but the vows I had made to see them all would be filled. I found Mafelda Albanese at work in The Shepard Company, (she now owned half the business), transcribing her notes. She laid her book down, stuck a piece of gum in her mouth, and then continued with her typing. She hadn’t changed much since 1946. (Gum to Mafelda was an asset, so she kept telling Miss I rie. She said it always “kept her going.”) I closed my eyes and willed myself to Gates Street, and zip, I was there. It was really a surprise to see the former “C abin Restaurant made over into a modern dine and dance hall. It was run by Margaret Bomhower. Madelaine Alger, and Carol Kemp. They had opened the restaurant in 1947 and had done a wonderful business. The girls cooking brought in the business and Carol’s business training took care of the cash receipts. Occasionally Dana Wright was guest star for the floor show. 69 Charles Pitkin expanded the Vermont Hardware business with William Agan. Charles (“Charlie the Dip”) was taking care of the business end. He had designed clothespins and plastic hangers which were becoming more necessary to the American Home than ice cream. Blood’s Market had been bought out by Mark Coutermarsh. He had bought the whole block and had built in one of the best meat plants in New England. He had a freezing locker, a slaughter house, and a shipping platform to send his goods over the United States and parts of Europe. (Mark had married and the Mrs. and he had three children). The files had told me that Mary Koloski and Jeanette Beauregard had opened a small business in Lebanon, so I willed myself there, and there I was. As I walked towards the center of the town I saw a neon sign which said “Colton’s Mink Farm.” I knew at once it was the Colton who graduated with me in 1946. He had often spoke of running a mink farm and raising the animals because they brought good money to their owner. George Reeves had bought a store in Lebanon, and was doing a good business. He was selling groceries to the surrounding towns including White River. His business was a good one and was paying him well. The only thing I didn’t see was the good luck charm he used to carry around with him; but I guess he was doing all right without it. I then willed myself inside cf Marys and Jeanette’s fashion saloon. It was in the midst of Faster season and they were giving permanent waves to many women. Jeanette and Mary had had the idea of getting together to form a business when they had met in Hollywood ten years ago in 1956. They had been in Hollywood fashioning some of the world’s leading hair styles. Jeanette had married and was planning to sell her share of the business to our old classmates, Claire Stone and Stella Luce. Claire and Stella had an office in Hanover and were doing fine in their business. All the girls who were going to Dartmouth (it had become a co-education college now’), had their hair done by Claire and Stella. The girls were going to buy Jeanette’s part of the business out and put in modern styled machines in the business. Zip—and I was in Hanover. I w’ent directly to the Mary Hitchcock Hospital to see Bernice Wagoner and Nancy Quinlan. Bernice was specializing in surgery, and Nancy was superintendent of the Children’s Ward. The girls had gone to Simmons College in Boston and had been in the Hospital at Hanover for eleven years. (Nancy had grown older faster than anyone else I had seen of our class 1946. I guess it was because the children wouldn’t eat their cereal.) Clifton Sanders was in Jericho. I willed myself there, and, upon arriving saw one of the most modern buildings. I didn’t know what business. Clifton was in for a while. His file card said he was in the Creamery Business, but this didn’t look like a creamery to me. I went into the building and found the modern separators, the pasteurizing machines and then knew for sure he was in the creamery business. His butter and dairy products were world famous. 70 After visiting the rest of the plant I willed myself to St. Johnsbury, taking with me valuable information and two pounds of butter. I found in St. Johnsbury one of the largest trucking companies in the 1 nited States. It was owned and operated by Francis Turner and Paul Wood. Their business was growing rapidly each day. Paul had found a way to convince the people in St. Johnsbury they ought to move to the city. fHis business boomed, naturally, because they had their household goods moved to the city of Boston by Turner and Wood’s agency.) I saw an officer of the law walking by the office. His face did look familiar, but I just couldn’t place it. I thought for a while and then decided to follow him. He walked around the block, and as he turned his face, it came to me that he was Stuart Shepard. (He was going to be a gangster, I thought. How did this happen?) My lists told me that Glenn Chapin and Alton Aldrich had gone abroad. Glenn had gone into the army, then went to Alaska and finally to Europe to see the world (?). Alton had joined the Navy and had been shipped to Europe and luckily had been in the same district that Glenn was. (He is retiring this year, as he is 38 years old. How he stood the Navy for 20 years is beyond me. He couldn’t even sit through a picture about the sea without getting seasick and then he sjx'nt 20 years on the sea . . . unbelievable.) The files said John was coaching a world-famous basketball earn, which was scheduled to play in the international tournament during the week. I decided to look John up! Instead of willing myself to the auditorium, I decided to walk . . . invisibly, and see some of talked-about Europe. While on the way to the auditorium, I saw a well-dressed woman. When she turned her face to protect her “hair-do” from the wind, I recognized her as Ruth Hicken. She had formed her business, an international airline. She was married to an electrical engineer. I walked to the auditorium with her (though she didn't know it), and went past the doorman. When I got into the building, sure enough, 1 could not only see John, but hear him as well, as he cried, “Kill the re.' Kill the ref!” John was bald. (He must have gotten that way while watching his l oys play and trying to coach and referee at the same time. His hands pulled his hair out but he had also shaped one of the best ball clubs in the world). John s team won the International by one point! I didn’t want to will myself home. 1 wanted, instead, to take a ride on a l)oat. I could get home 50 times as fast by willing myseli, but the ride on the boat would be more enjoyable. I chose a merchant ship ready to leave .or America carrying silks and laces as its cargo. On the bridge, as we started to sail I saw Garfield Pelkie. He was a chief petty officer in charge of the engine room, and had stayed on the same ship for almost 15 years. It took us six days to get to America. I had never missed anything more in my life, than I had my country . . . even though I was a spirit. After I landed in New York, I willed myself to Long Island where I saw Lou Oean Jacobs. She had become one of the best laboratory technicians in 71 the United States. Her experiments had proved invaluable to the go eminent of the I nited States and she was paid an annual income from the Government besides keeping her practice of testing for corporations on the “side.” (Ion Dean was just as gay as ever, though. She wt nt to the movies twice a week now, instead of once as she had dore while in school in ’46.) As fast as I could think, I willed myself to San Francisco. The tiles told me my lormer classmate, Barbara Fogg, was married, but still was teaching physical training in the University of California. I went to the University, by thought waves, and visited Barbara. As I was walking down the halls of the school I saw another familiar “teacher,” Miss Heilene Bement. She was a commercial teacher and was head of the University’s Commercial Department. (And she was the girl who often had told me she was going to be married and have ten children.) My “around the world” journey was nearly finished. I had seen most of the kids who had graduated with me, but still there were a few left, so I willed myself to Texas, where I knew I could locate three more . . . William Manning, Byron Hathorn, and Louis Maxfield. William had established a farm machinery business and was earning enough money to run a farm on the sirle. Byron and I ouis ran a cooperative farm in Texas and their interests soon spread over the country. They had invested some of their money in some farm land in California which was producing apples. (The apples were given to the state of Vermont by the boys because they wanted others to share in their prosperity; and who better deserved the apples if not their “old home-towners? ) Yes, all three boys were well established in business. Willing myself north, to Dakota, I visited the former Annie Larrabee, now Mrs. Donald FHis. She had two grown children 16 and 18. The boy, 18, was planning to join the Army and the girl wanted to go to Simmons College to enter nursing. (Annie was the “homey” ty|X‘, but she could still swing a mean tune on her trombone). Many of my former classmates were in Milwaukee according to my lists so 1 willed myself to the big city next. I saw Jean Gates and Patricia Bayliss. They were private nurses who had a business office in the largest building of Milwaukee, the “Swasey” owned by Annie Swasey. (Annie had been willed a large amount of money and constructed the building for her former classmates who wanted to enter business but didn’t have an office.) Doris Jandro was working in the girls’ office as head of the office force. The business was paying well and many former veterans of the World War II had sought the care of Bayliss and Gates, Private Nursing.” In the same building I found William Hall in the Electrical Engineering Business. He had formed a small corporation of his own that was paying dividends annually to 30 or 40 stock holders. I wasn’t at all surprised when I found Doris Thomas working in his office either. (It was rumored that Doris and Bill were getting married next month.) 72 ■ I had finished my mission. I had seen how my classmates of 1946 had progressed since graduation. The fog was lifting. Was it all a dream? I was still living. Dr. Osgood and Miss Patch were still standing at the foot of the bed! Hut I wonder if the kids are living their lives as I had just dreamed? I wonder— Anthony Scelza 73 Class Will We, the class of 1946, of Hartford High School, County of Windsor, State o Vermont, being of unsound mind and memory, do hereby declare this our last will and testament. HRSI : IX) TTIE Jl NIOR CLASS we will our three fine points, intelligence, cooperation, and dependability. THE PRESENT SHORTHAND CLASS leaves to MISS KINC.SIHJRY, a class able to take dictation at 120 words a minute right from the start.

We will JOHN GATES a private desk in Mr. Freitas' office, as that is where he spends most of his time. We will Barbara Darling and Jean Kinne, free admission to the White Church dances every other Friday night. 74 Heman Chittenden leaves his tugged technique to BRUCE COLE. Jeannette Beauregard wills her giggles to JANE BOGLE, to keep up the morale of the class, as it did us. We will LOl IE SAC ( ) an invisible step-ladder to reach his high spirits as center for the Hartford Indians in future years, plus giving his ability in this sport to his younger brothers. Nancy Quinlan leaves her position as guard to LOIS JORGENSEN, just to give some of the second team a sure shot at that basket. Shirley and Harold will Paul Laskey and June Doubleday their successful friendship in the past two years at Hartford High. Jane Sargent wills the tracks to East Wilder open so that there will not be any excuse of getting stuck. To BOB PACKARD we will a new guitar. Just in case he hasn’t read the latest books on “Wolfing,” this might be the solution. Glenn Chapin wills his brother Paul, his ability in football, basketball, and baseball. Iso the ability to cooperate with Miss Urie as Glenn did. We leave Frankie Filosa a 1946 convertible coupe, his one big desire in life. Polly Jacobs leaves her “rosy” dis[x sition to the Choquette brothers. We will next year’s Pepsi-Cola Scholarship to Catherine Patch. She need not take the exams, as it runs in the family. We renew a wolf permit for Joe Choquette, valid in North Hartland and Lebanon only. We will Shirley Dugan a transfer to the seventh grade, where her heart seims to lie. Alan Sumner wills the one good sized-brick that was willed to him previously to keep him from growing any taller to Leon Ingham. To Donald Kendall we hand down the “limelight” in sports.

Alton Aldrich leaves his collection of females to “Dave” Burgess to carry on where he left off. We will John Hathorn a separate taxi for his lady friends who beg him a ride home without cost. We will Jean Borne a 12 by 8 mirror before which she can spend most of her time To Lois Jorgensen we leave Allan Sumner, her secret heart throb.
