It has been the center of our education and it has prepared us to enter the future. We wish to thank the Trustees, faculty and parents for their help, advice and understanding during our happy years at McIA. We also would like to thank the merchants and other businessmen of our near-by communities for their generosity in helping finance our yearbook. To our staff this is more than another yearbook, it is a product of our work and efforts. This yearbook signifies our experiences. We sincerely hope you will enjoy the contents of this publication. ul' DEDICATION Horace W. Gleason The name Gleason has been intimately associated with Mclndoes Academy since its founding in 1853, for three generations of the family have been represented on its Board of Trustees. Grandson of john C. Gleason, who was one of the principal founders and bene- factors of the Academy, Horace W. Gleason attended the school in 1888-92. A year later, he was elected Trustee to succeed his father. He has shown the same fine loyalty to the Academy and its best interests that he has given the Mclndoes Church. Clerk of the Academy Board of Trustees for many years, he has been unstinting in his devotion and tireless in his service to the school during the more than sixty years that he has been a Trustee. We, the members of the Class of 1956 of Mclndoes Academy, take great pleasure and pride in dedicating our Spitfire to our friend, Mr. Gleason, a fine gentleman and a leading citizen of the Town of Barnet, who, ever loyal to high principles, has rendered an outstand- ing contribution to the school we cherish. 2 SPITFIRE STAFF Left to .right: Richard Annis, Camille Sicard, Norene Blake, Norene Langg Carlene Dunn, Junior editorg Mr. Morey, Advisorg Donna Goss, Editorg Edith Hammond, John Gilmour, Alton Maxwell.

This is one of the happy occasions of our lives, and we have made an effort to make it an impressive one. It is an important time for usg therefore, we have chosen the theme, OF FOOTPRINTS AND TIME. We wish to print indelibly this class night program upon the walls of your memories. We propose to give you something of our past achievements and experiences in high school and then tell you about our future plans and hopes that may make deep imprints upon the lives we touch and upon the social and economic fields beyond the school room. It was Longfellow who expressed our theme: Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. Footprints that perhaps another Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing shall take heart again. It is our commencement time. We dare not be too serious in carrying out this theme, so we are sifting in the sands a little humor and fun. If you listen carefully you may find us a little off-time as we participate in this night's past time. Thus it should be in all our future. Laughter and fun should be sifted in with our responsibilities to relieve the nervous tension in the serious moments of life. However, tonight we are serious in that we purpose to do many worthwhile things after we tread the road leading away from our high school door. But what of the sands we tread upon, the sands of time? Sand represents the substance upon which all plant and animal life feeds. Symbolically the sands are also the economic, political, philosophic, artistic, and scientific grounds upon which the seniors will tread to make footprints. These sands will sweep upon their feet at every step, and consequently their lives will change with the shifting sands, the storms and the tides, the rain and the winds-and the currents. But we purpose not to be changed so much as to change conditions about us, and, departing, leave behind us footprints on the sands of time. The grains of sand, added one to one, make a mighty highway. So welcome, friends and parents, and come along with us as we hasten down this highway making our footprints. THE SHOES WE CHOOSE As president of the senior class, I wish to offer a challenge to the seniors. I have here an old worn shoe. You will notice that it has been worn until it fits well the foot that wore it. It reveals something of the life of its owner, and it makes a definite print on the sand. In walking along the way, we as individuals place our own patterns upon the sand-the patterns of our footprints. They are of various sizes: the markings are different, unique, and distinctive. That you know. The shoes we choose make the difference. The shoes we choose to wear at work and play are important because they definitely express the kind of people we are and the positions we hold in life. They reveal our ideals, careers, achievements, and failures. They show something ll of our personalities. Look at any man's shoes and you will know something of the man. Sherlock Holmes, no doubt, could read our footprints and write a biography of each of us. The shoes we choose may not always reveal our original hopes and dreams or the person we aspired to be, because circumstances sometimes prevent the realiza- tion of dreams. Millions of people may wear one kind of shoe even though they prefer another style and leather. There are many reasons why people are not able to choose their own professions, and thus they cannot be blamed for their choices. Perhaps at choosing time their choices were faulty or perhaps they did not persevere to achieve their dreams. Failure in perseverance would certainly lay the responsibility upon the chooser. But truly, we can say that the shoes we wear indicate our positions in life, our wealth, our health, or our personalities. Our shoes leave their distinct markings upon the sands. Seniors, briefly, I leave you this challenge. If shoes make the man, choose your shoes well. Take time in the choosing. Give the matter serious thought. Seek advice. Be careful that the shoes are suitable for your journey and that they will help you realize your dreams of happiness and success. TIME OF OUR LIVES Historian: Why the senior class has been this Way! They left their footprints. I would know their footprints anywhere-in Africa or Kalamazoo. And these tracks were made by shoes worn in service and useful activities. They come from the Academy and lead out in the world. From the markings here I note they have spent much time in giving, not in receiving. Worn down at the heel, half-soled-shows how busy they were. These seniors walked firmly, showing they knew where they were going. Say, folks, finding these footprints brings back memories to me. I am reminded of the good old times we had as students of this Academy. I'll just have to tell you about our days there. Oh, we had the time of our lives-wish you had been there too. Class Historian: In 1953 our class was organized with twenty-two members for the march ahead of us. This first year of high school life was a glorious one because it marked a great change from that of grammar school. Leaders for our first step were Edith Hammond, president: John Gilmour, vice-president: Camille Sicard, secretary: Nor- ene Blake, treasurerg and Ann Pollard and Ronald Bedell, our representatives to the Student Council. We gave voice to our spirits and talents with a Christmas play, 'Twas the Fight Before Xmasf' Our advisor was Mr. Kierstead, Principal. Time flies when traveling on good paths, and our paths were bright when we all passed our subjects and became tenth graders. Our march had been shortened by one step and although the number of members remained the same, Joan Wilson and Lorraine Cheney left and Arthur Royal of New York and Alton Maxwell of Brad- ford joined us. Leaders for this step were Edith Hammond, presidentg Arthur Royal, vice-presidentg Camille Sicard, secretaryg Donna Goss, treasurer: Norene Blake and John Gilmour, representatives to the Student Council. To increase our profits in the treasury we sponsored a Hobo Hop , the Fresh- man Reception and other activities. This year we decided what kind of class rings we were to have. 12 Before the end of the school year Gail Bedell, Art Royal, and Buddy Bedell left us, decreasing our membership to nineteen. Our advisor in this step was Mr. Powell, Business Teacher. We reached the first hurdle in our pathway at this, our Junior year of high school life. School morale and spirit became depressed but with Edith Hammond as president, john Gilmour, vice-president, Norene Blake, secretary, Ann Pollard, treasurer, and Alton Maxwell and Ruth Griffin as our representatives to the Student Council we boosted our own morale. We increased our budget with profits from food sales and a dance. We sponsored a junior Prom but this proved unsuccessful. Our faculty advisor was Mr. Bowler, Social Studies Teacher. For the trying stretch of the senior year we elected officers as follows: Alton Maxwell, presidentg Camille Sicard, vice-president, Edith Hammond, secretary: John Crown, treasurer, and Norene Blake and john Gilmour, Student Council representatives. Financing our yearbook and class trip were the last financial obstacles in our path. To overcome them we produced the annual senior play entitled f'Shy Guy directed by Mr. Bicknell. Needless to say the play was a successful one and we made a tidy profit. We elected our yearbook staff and collected money by selling advertising space in the publication. We had money-making projects such as paper drives, school newpaper publishing with Norene Lang, editor, selling of refresh- ments at basketball games, and selling candy and milk at school. Historian: Camille Sicard was our class poet. She was always panning her lines to our yearbooks and notebooks. Here is Cammie. This will be a short poem: I don't want to be a bore. Our class is always on the go, So I haven't time for more. Donna is a brilliant girl, Her brains will take her far. John is a bespectacled lad, He's never without his car. Edie is a pretty lass, She is going steady, though. John Crown is quite an actor, He always gives a good show. Susie is a basketball player, Shels very good, you see. Richard Annis is a happy lad, His days are filled with glee. Norene Lang has one ambition She wants to be a wife. Richard Nelson wants a farm, He says that is the life. Norene Blake's great desire Is to have a home of her own. Mac is on our basketball team His name is widely known. Ann is quite an active girl, She loves office practice. Everyone is Roycels friend, Toward none does he bear malice Cammie is a cheerleader, Nursing is her chosen career. Maurice is a hotrod driver, At speed laws he does jeer. Helyn is a friendly girl, You really must confess. This poem wasn't to be long? Looks like I was slightly wrong. 13 This is STARTIME While we were having the time of our lives and choosing our shoes, 'we were also developing stars in our class. Now we 'wish to present to you the stars of the class. Each has become a shining star in our own blue heaven. They have sparkled and glittered in a field of stars because we are all brilliant. But it seems their brilliance is just a little brighter. Behold the stars! The best school citizens are Richard Nelson and Donna Goss. The most likely to succeed are john Gilmour and Donna Goss. The most ambitious are John Gilmour and Donna Goss. The most cooperative are Alton Maxwell and Edith Hammond. The most dependable are Richard Nelson and Norene Lang.

Twinkle, twinkle, senior stars, May you be just what you are, And in this world travel far- Travel far o'er sea and land, Yet hold yourselves above no man. MAKING TRACKS Prophet: I am a member of the F.B.I. Do you know what that means? So you don't know? Well, it means Footprints Being Investigated? Here on these sands in 1966 are deep impressions of footprints. The seniors have passed this way. They have been making tracks in the past ten years. Their impressions are traced on the sands and cannot be erased. They show that the seniors walked here with an upward look and a iirm tread-going places. They are unwavering and true. They point toward progress and achievement. They lead to the right places, the true goals of accomplishment in all fields of activities. You know, I can tell something about each senior by the tracks he makes. Each expresses the individual and his achieve- ment and what he is doing today. I see this in their footprints. They are all suc- cessful, making tracks-Our class president went this way. Here he goes! Mac. Look at those beat-up sneakers. Looks like Mac has been hard at work coaching that team of his. 14 Here's Royce. Gee, he's wearing sneakers too. We have heard that the team he is coaching has done very well. Here comes Dick Annis. He's wearing nice, sensible brown loafers. just the thing for his job as TV technician. There are Norene Lang and Norene Blake in very comfy slippers. They wear them while they are cleaning their houses. Edie has on very pretty high heels. She'd get anyone's vote for the best-dressed teacher of the year. Gee, will you look at the shoes John Crown has on! I guess he has been pretty suc- cessful as an actor. Ann looks comfortable in her flats. Nearly all of the girls in the office where she is a secretary wear them. Susie always wears these oxfords when she does her house work. She says they are so comfortable. Here is Donna. She is wearing white shoes for she is an X-ray technician, you know. Richard Nelson is attired in high rubber boots. They are very important in farm work. Helyn likes to wear loafers while she cleans her house. Maurice looks very sharp in those shiny black shoes. He is a successful mechanical engineer. Here is Cammie with her white shoes. She is happy in her job as a nurse. Look at john Gilmore's shoes. He always wears them in his laboratory where he is a scientist. As I told you in the beginning, I am with the F.B.I., Footprints Being In- vestigated. But just now I feel like a heel investigating and telling you all about the private and professional lives of the senior class of 1956. So if you'll excuse me, now, Iyll be making tracks away from here. SENIOR CLASS SONG fMel0dy: It's Almost Tomorrowuj My Mclndoes, my Mclndoes, we bid you adieu Our reflections in the future will be borne from you. Our goals we will be seeking We will strive for the best And all our summons will answer the test. V It's truth and honor We will stand by. Your teachers have always Taught the reason why We should have high ideals And do any job the best. Now that you've taught us We will have to do our best. Our hearts will be warm, dear, When we remember you And all of our cherished friends Who were so true, We will have pride and joy when We think of you. We will always wave a verbal banner Of Gold and Blue. 15 FOOTNOTES We are now introducing to you Hot Foot and Time Piece. They are going to give us some Footnotes on our high school times. Many important things happened to us, and we kept a record of them. I might add that they are alphabetical in form. These notes are filed all the way from A to Z. Ladies and gentlemen, Hot Foot and Time Piece. Yeah, we have been taking down these footnotes ever since we started learning our ABC's. I never have got them straight-always mixing up notes with foot. I know them backwards and forward. Try me. Well, start with A. What do you know about A? A's for alarm-alarm clock. They made it. Thanks to the clock. I would say that the alarm clock is responsible for much of the learning we got in high school. We pay tribute to you, Alarm Clock. What about B? B? Let me see. B means bachelors. You for instance. High school bachelors like us. C? C stands for cash. The stuff I ain't got. Who has cash after paying all our class dues? What about D? D? D stands for de-feet. just take a look at de-feet. We had success in defeating Sacred Heart in the Play-Off. Well, we are down to E. Time's passing. What about E? E is for examinations-what, I hope, we never see again. Ditto. Let's pass on that. A-B-C-D-E-F-What about F? F's for footnotes, OF FOOT NOTES AND TIME, the theme of our play. That makes me think of a lot of things, Class Night, program committee, parties, cash- And Commencement time. Wonderful time in our lives. Let's pass on to G. G's for girls-senior girls, with the latest hairdos and styles. Girls, girls-all pretty girls! l H is the next. H is for homework. Forget it. Forget homework-can't. The imprint is deep in my memory. Time's immortalsl Where are we now? That sight made me forget. Remember? ? I-I do. Intelligence-what we seniors have. How about J? Why, J stands for jokes. Here are the two seniors who are always telling jokes. A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-K? What do We know about K? K is for kick. But I'd rather not explain further. Aw, come on-turn around. How did you get that foot print there? I wouldn't ask you that. Somebody sure was footy. How about L? ? L is for luck. The senior's luck, especially me-to pass. That reminds me. Time's passing. How about M? M means mascot. Here's our little mascot. You said it! l How about N? N stands for newsy. Our school paper. O is next. I guess O stands for opportunity. Oportunity knocks but once -Guess I wasn't home that day. What about P? P is for principal, of course. Q is next, and I think it stands for quiz. No, Q is for question-what teachers were always asking us. You know, I never could understand why teachers were always asking so many questions. Mr. Powell was the worst of all! Well, that was their way of learning things-asking us questions. How about R? I think R stands for the race. What race? I never heard about any race. The human race, of course. We are ready for S now. 16 S stands for sponsor. Sponsor of the senior class. Our sponsor was Miss Twitchell. T? I think it's time for tea. T's for time. And how time flies. Time suggests many things to us. Makes me thing of Norene Lang who talks ten times too much. And Mac who is a two-timer. And Camille who is always a big timer. And Royce who made a basket at the right time and saved us the game against Haver- hill two years ago. And Maurice who is always ready to take time out to eat. And now it's time to go on with our Foot Notes. What does U stand for? U means underfoot of course. You want to know what's underfoot. Foot Notes. Notes all about the seniors and their times. What note do we have on V? Let me see. V is for vacuum. In other words, the heads of the senior class. My head is the biggest in all the world. Don't underestimate yourself. But tell us about W. W is for worry-warts. Worry-warts like teachers and-and cops-and alarm clocks which remind me it's time for Y. Y is for yells. Makes me think of our cheerleaders. Now is the time for A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X-Y-Z. Z-for Zip. TIME'S UP The Shoe Box Senior class, we might as well admit it: TIME'S UP. Our high school days are of the past. It's time to go and leave this dear old school, so it's time to read our Last Will and Testament and distribute our gifts to the class. During our stay here we collected many material and intangible possessions which we cannot take with us. We would grow footsore on our march if we were weighted down with too many earthly possessions. They would be a burden as we tread the sands of time. We think it wise to dispose of our possessions to those who will follow in our footsteps, namely, the juniors and other school fellows. Also there are certain concessions which we make to the school and faculty. Therefore, we make this our class will: CLASS WILL We, the members of the Senior Class, being of sound mind and body as much as we are able to be, do hereby write our last will and testament. We dispose of our be- longings as follows: To the Class of '57, we do will and bequeath our ability to undertake new situations. To the Class of '58, we do will and bequeath our ability to act. To the Class of '59, we do will and bequeath our ability to have as many boys as girls in the class. To Miss Twitchell, we leave our best wishes to a certainly wonderful teacher and fine person. To Mrs. Bicknell, we leave our best wishes for much success in the future. To Mr. Bicknell, we leave our wishes for continued success as principal. To Mr. Bowler, we leave our thanks for bringing both of our teams to victory. To Mr. Morey, we leave our appreciation for all of the help he has given us on our Yearbook and wish him well in his teaching. I, Alton Ray Maxwell, do will and bequeath my friendly disposition and ability to play basketball to any underclassman. I, Edith Mae Hammond, do will and bequeath my ability to play the piano for the glee club to anyone who wants it. 17 I, Maurice Wayne Slayton, do will and bequeath my ability to talk my way out of a tight situation to Clifton Little.

TIME WAS Valedicforicn: As we come to the close of our high school career, we are hesitant in saying farewell to the things that have been. Time wasn we might say to one another in passing. We mighit echo those words up and down the corridors because we have reached the moment when we must think about important things and good times and study hours that have gone. The words, time was, definitely speak of the past. They are nostalgic, awesome, and sublime in meaning. They are complete, belonging to yesterday. Yet once we held time was in our keeping, fleeting in the hollow of our hands. That was back yonder, four years ago. Time was when we tirst came hereto school back in 1952 with doubts, fears, and anticipation over our new adventures in high school. Now we say this night, time was. Now the four years are gone. We spent them minute by minute, hour by hour: then days and months fled by. Four years in high school! Consummate years! We spent our time in the activities of the curriculum. There were the required courses, music, recreation, dramatization, and social activities. Each student spent his time in the things in which ihe was the most interested and talented. Each one had a chance to develop his talent and to enjoy his social life. Time was for all these things. But it is another story how each one used his time. That is the measure we hold in our possession tonight on this eve of graduation. One measure may be fuller than another because each one of us may have had a different evaluation of time and its use. We have left an impression: we have made an imprint, indelible, unerasable. Impressions, too, vary with the individual because we did not hold ourselves rigidly to the best usage of time. We all had the same amount of time, and we all had the same sand to walk upon to make our imprints, so, thus far, adding our own talents and initiative to our equal opportunities, we set forth on a broader road tonight. Let us from now on, since we are graduates, guard our time more carefully and utilize more of our odd moments in fruitful activities. Let us choose the best and throw away the worthless. They say success depends upon the proper use of time and its by-product, odd moments. Some of the great men of our nation used their odd moments in reading, inventing, or experimenting. Edison worked at his odd moments on his inventions, Lincoln read law by firelight after a day of toil in the woods. We learn to judge a person by the way he uses his time. It matters not how gifted or talented or wise a person isp if he fails to use his time in developing his abilities in useful services, the world will not account him great. We are all dealers in time. It is the one thing we all possess in common. So, seniors, in passing from time was, the days we spent in high school, let's wind our clocks and rise with a new day, conscious of the work and challenge before us. Let's leave our imprints in communities all over these states. Let us press forward with a spirit of progress wherever we go. Let us leave our footprints on the sands of time by helping to bring about a national and universal unity. 19 JUNIOR CLASS Back row, left to right: Kendall Beck, William Irwin, Clifton Little, Kenneth Beck.

If luck against you seems to be Look around and you will see Others much worse off than you, Wear a grin, real happy too. Think of the good things you possess, Your country, friends, and all the restg Life is great, if great you make it, Live, be happy, work-youill make it! By Judy Conant 26 SUNDAY MORNING It's Sunday morning, the Sabbath Day. The day is warm and clear and bright. People are on their way to church, It's a happy and glorious sight. The church bells are happily ringing, We enter the little white church. It's quiet and peaceful and still there, For many the end of a search. The choir raises its voices clear, The church is filled with song. We all feel God's presence here, A peace for which we all long. Soon the service is over, The people rise to go. They all have peace of mind now. For God has willed it so. A THUNDERSTORM The sky was darkg the air was still, A summer's storm was near. By Camille Sicard The lightning ilashedg the thunder roared, The storm is really here. Wind is risingg rain is falling, A flash and then a crash. Streams are formingg trees are swaying, Raindrops fallingg we hear them splash. The rain lets upg the wind dies down, The sun begins to shine. The rainbow comes, showing beauty Of the country thatis yours and mine. MAKING THE BEST OF SCHOOL Sometimes to school we hate to go, To face assignments and essaysg But surely all of us must know, It will mean much in later days. There is to do, the work each day No matter rain, the snow, and sun. Doing our best, it surely pays The world to face when school is done. Do think of this on every day: Do not despair, be gay and smile As off to school you iind your way. School can't be such a bitter trial! 27 C arlene Dunn GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM GIRLS' FIRST TEAM Left to right: Yerfla l'il'IlC1'y, Ruth Griflin, Edith Hammond. Brenda Emery, Norene Lang. Mona Hunt.

This season was more impressive than the rest because of their record. They piled up a 12-O mark in League play and had an overall 17-0 record. The Lassies lose three of their big gunners this year. They are Norene Lang, Ruth Grifiin, and Edith Hammond, but still they have a great team left. The Lassies' three guards-Verda Emery, Edith Hammond, and Norene Lang- deserve much credit for such a great year, because of their tremendous defensive ability. They held the other teams to a low 27.2 average per game. The high scorers for the girls were Ruth Griffin with 290 points and Mona Hunt with 246 points. The rest of the scoring is as follows: B. Emery, 175, L. Blake, 313 J. Hunt, 203 P. Ward, 19, S. Conant, 11, I. Mitchell, 8, E. Hammond, 45 N. Lang, 4, and E. Mitchell, 3. CHEERLEADERS' REPORT This year we didn't have as many cheerleaders as last year but we got along very well. The cheerleaders were Patricia Mitchell, Sophomore, Christine Theroux, Audrey DeRusha, and Phyllis Paradie, Juniors, and Camille Sicard, Senior. We decided to change our uniforms a bit. We got yellow knee socks and yellow blouses. New blue vests were added and our skirts were shortened. We haven't done anything to earn money but we expect to in the future. The cheerleaders attended the Cheerleaders, Tournament on February 11 at Woodsville, where we had a lot of fun. That's all for this year. I wish next year's cheerleaders the best of luck and happiness. Camille Sicard, Capt.

The Middies lost a chance to play in the Vermont State Class C Tournament by getting beaten by Peacham 47-26. This was understandably one of the saddest losses the Middies had all year. The four senior boys were the top gunners in the scoring parade with Royce Pinard being tops with 393 points. He also led the Middies in foul-shooting with a .708 average. The rest of the scorers are as follows: A. Maxwell, 2595 M. Slayton, 1593 J. Gilmour, 1273 Roger Pinard, 52g J. Morrill, 41g R. Wright, 25g N. Pollard, 183 J. Slayton, 135 L. Paye, 8, C.

QW 32 SENIOR PLAY In November, 1955, the senior class of Mclndoes Academy, under the direction of Mr. Bicknell, presented the three-act play, USHY GUY. We all worked hard on it and had a lot of fun. The cast of characters was as follows: Fred Hastings . Yaaaaeaat,,a .e...............,.ee,,,aaeeaattt..,...,...e..,...ee,t. Cora Hastings , .... . Gilbert Hastings Nancy Graham ee,ee,e Larry Madison ee,t,i, Julie Tucker ., Gloria Patterson e,ee,e Melinda Whipple Lois Corwin sss,,, Mr. Danbury ,,,,,, Bill Sterling ..,,. STORY OF THE PLAY Maurice Slayton Donna Goss Alton Maxwell Ann Pollard John Crown .. Norene Blake Edith Hammond . Camille Sicard Norene Lang John Gilmour Royce Pinard When Fred Hastings spends more money than his parents believe he is earning, when his friend, Larry Madison, attemps to get his chum out of hot water, and when an eccentric little lady of eighty decides to play football, any attempt at trying to preserve the sanity of other casual observers becomes futile. Fred's mother, Cora, is planning a birthday party for Fred's girl, Nancy, but when two strangers beautifully feminine, appear, in the persons of Gloria Patterson and Lois Corwin, the plot thickens. Fred is doomed, his job as Model for Glamour Girl Cosmetics is about to be revealed. But leave everything to Larry, Larry insists. Gil- bert Hastings, Fred's father, is furious when he learns of Fredls modeling job. Nancy isn't sure how she feels about it, julie Tuckerls chief concern is being able to keep the puppy Larry has bought for her on the installment plan. And thatls when Me- linda Whipple, that wiry bundle of energy, eighty years strong, appears. The birthday party? It turns out to be something slightly less than an open- house affair, with a Mr. Danbury looking for local television talent, Bill Sterling looking for his girl, and Melinda Whipple looking for enough space in which to make a touchdown in football. DON'T BE LAZY Don't be lazy, use your head. D'sP work harder, get A's instead. Drop that comic, turn off TV. Do your homework, Wiser be. Get with it, so elders will say, This younger generation is real hep today. There is nothing so gay at night As a campfire burning bright, While round it sit the hunters gay, Waiting for the dawn of dayg With its flames reaching to the sky, And wild game hovering near by. But soon there is not even a shout, For sleep has knocked the hunters out. 33 ALUMNI NEWS CLASS OF 1953 Leonard Aiken, jr. is working with his father in Barnet.

Shining clearly are the bright stars, All about me is so silent, On beyond the pasture fence bars, Stands the old elm with its boughs bent. Past the meadow where the hay lies Newly mown, and standing nearest Is what corn escaped the crow's cry, And is growing for the harvest. All in all there is no silence, Or no peace so pleasing to me, As the solitude and presence. Of a country evening to see. HOT ROD I love my little hot rod: It takes me everywhere: I stripped her of her fenders, And the motor now is bare. The other guys are jealous When they see me ride around. In all this world of hot rods Not one like mine is found. I love to have a hot rod raceg I'm sure I'll always win. And just to see the other guyls face, You'd think I'd committed a sin. But I'll have to sell my hot rod And buy an El Dorado, For I just saw a cute gal And for her I think I'll go. I know I need a Cadillac To win her heart, you seeg But I love my little hot rod, And that hot rod belongs to me. So I'll keep my little hot rod, For Ilm sure it has my heartg I'll always have my hot rod, And we'll never ever part. 35 By Donna Goss By Royce Pinard Jax Jr. Theater Current Motion Picture Attractions Littleton New Hampshire The St. Johnsbury Shu-Fix Where Shoes Are Rebuilt Prop., Aime Sicard 52 Railroad St. St. Johnsbury, Vt.
