Blgue and Gold 7 When Hazel Vantine fininshed High School, she took a Home Economics Course at the University of Vermont. She had been planning to teach Home Economics in a High School, but ended up by applying the principles of Home Economics in her own home. After graduation Sally jackson became a telephone operator, but her interests were elsewhere, and at this date we hear she has made a very successful housewife for a former Airman. They now have a half interest in a silver mine in Wyoming. lncidently he discovered this when he was stationed there in 354. Ruth Costello took a trip to Maine after graduation and became very interested in the turkey business. Now, some three years later, she is taking in an old classmate, Dot King, as her partner in the thriving new business-turkey farming! Ronald Rouclreau: After Bonny graduated from High School he married Marolyn and became a partner in Branchis Store. He has expanded the business to such an extent that the BGB Store now occupies a large part of the east side of River Street. After james Russell graduated from school he went into partnership with his father. On the side he is drawing up plans for his future home, which he and a certain U. V. M. Home Economics Student, will occupy. After Alden jones graduated from high school he entered U. V. M. where he took up professional acrobatics. He is now one of the best acrobats in the country, and has a weekly television show sponsored by Cheerios,'. Bernard Smith has completed his four years of Mechanical Engineering at U. V. M. He is now undecided whether he will take over Wells, Filling Station or assume management of Vantinels tourist home and camp. After completing her four vears of Home Economics at U. V. M. Lois Holcombe went on to study music at Metropolitan Music Hall and is now a famous pianist at Carnegie Ilall. However. she has not forgotten Milton and may soon take up residence here once more. Bernard Lareau graduated from M. H. S. and completed college in the amazingly short time of three years. He came back to M. H. S. and taught English and Acrobatics for eight years. Now some years later we find him in Milton on a farm where he is raising Florida dates. Eight years after graduation we find Rohert Brisson has married his high school sweetheart, and has settled down in California where he is owner of one of the largest sports ear and hot rod shops in the nation. For relaxation he often drives one of his models in the stock car races. WVe find that seine years later that Albert Parker is settled down in a mid-western city where he is making good money as a foreman in a steel mill. He is now centering his efforts upon improving the processing of steel. Richard Miner was married a year after leaving school. His father-in-law set him up in the cabin business in which he was a great success. They now have five little miners,'. After janet Fienemann left Milton she went to Boston where she entered business college, From here she graduated with top honors. She is now secretary in a very large jewel Hrm, the Eastern Gem Co., which has its headquarters in Mecca, Arabia. After Lee Patno left high school he entered electrical school from which he graduated with honors. He is now master engineer of the St. Lawrence Seaway project in Messina, N. Y. Of course Peter Caclreact had his life pretty well planned. He bought a very large farm in Alaska and was a great success. He now has five men working for him. Last year he returned to Milton to marry a certain class mate. After Thelma Blow graduated from high school she went into nurseis training in a New York Hospital. We are sure that she would have become a successful nurse but she became more interested in one of the doctors, than in nursing.
