This company came from all the lands around, from Grand Isle, North Hero, South Hero, Georgia, and Colchester, because they had wanted to join this good company who had start- ed out to obtain a high school education. Soon we reached the entrance of a great dark woods, known as Freshman Lands. We wandered through the trees with fear and trembling and wished we could turn back or find a new way out. After stumbling about in the dark and brushing against the huge trees of algebra, we found ourselves hopelessly tangled in the brambles of English and science. A cold wind scattered leaves of discouragement upon us in the form of flunks and demerits, and we were knocked down by the snubs of the upperclass- man. Frankly we decided to elect class officers to boost our morale. Judith Davis was elected President, Betty Bushey, Vice-President, Jacque- line Atwood, Secretary, and Jean Cabree, Trea- surer. Along with many of us being lost in these dark woods we were badly frightened by many ghosts, which we found out later were merely teachers, tardy marks, and Sophomores. For nine long months we remained lost in this dark woods. . OVER THE RIVER Suddenly we realized we had reached a broad and swift flowing river. It was the golden river of our sophomore year. We gaily and bravely went aboard our good ship, Soph-ship. Judy Davis was the captain, and she directed the class activities on the way across, Allen Beaupre was our Pilot, and he assisted in directing the crew, Ensign LeClaire kept the records, and Leo Pid- numuuuu num mmnuuuuuuul num mumumnnu. geon was the goodmate looking out for sand bars and snags of school life. Below in the ship, all the sophomores were passengers who were busy with their daily duties, studying during the day. Late in the day they often came on deck to take exercises. The first thing we did this year was to initiate the incoming freshmen, although in the evening we made up for everything bad we had done to them by presenting them a reception. After this everything was smooth until the end of October when we took part in the annual Hal- lowe'en Carnival, which turned out to be quite a success. The minstrel show was held in November and our class was again represented in both Glee Club and the show. The one-act play this year was Triumph in Ashes , with Judy, Charlotte, Shirley Breault, Mary and Ellen Beaupre and Paul Robar taking art. P In December, some of us took part in the Christmas Cantata which was presented on the 21st and 22nd, We closed our year's activities with the Ver- mont Music Festival. Members from our class taking part in All-State Band were Betty Bushey, Judy Davis and Jean Cabree. TH RO UGH THE MEADOW As soon as we reached the shore, we saw a lovely meadow before us, the meadow of Junior- land. A long road wound like a silver ribbon across the land. We set out happily on the road because we were nearer our goal, High School Education. With the goal ahead, we went wheeling along. We hurried to elect our officers! Florence Phillips was elected President, Judith Davis, Vice-President, Doris LeClaire, Secretary, Roger Conyeau, Treasurer, and Bernard King and Irma Lombard were elected to serve on the
