Montpelier High School - Record Yearbook (Montpelier, VT)

Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1951 volume:

It is with deep affection that we, the class of 1951, dedicate this Record to Miss Kettelle, who through her years of unfailing understanding and thoughtfulness has endeared herself to us all. 1 V - j ' i FOREWORD ♦ It is with regret that we bring these four years to a close, knowing that in these unsettled times we will never be all together again. Some of us are already in the service of our country; others will be going. Wherever we are, we must keep the freedom and ideals of our nation foremost in our minds. It is our hope that these pages will recall many treasured memories as the years pass by. May God be with you all, wherever you are, whatever you do.

COANE Mathematics and Science Being very active in athletics at Norwich University, Bates, and the University of Illinois, Mr. Coane was called “Jackson”. Now- a-days the skies seem to be a little “Gray”er. He also said that he took up wrestling. Tell, M r. Coane, is that how' you got all those muscles?—or was it from eating “Pep”? MILLICENT L. DIXON Commercial Majoring in business education, Miss Dixon, nicknamed “Millie”, attended UVM and Co- lumbia University. She tells about the day that the economics professor was giving a serious lec- ture, and suddenly three or four boys got down on their hands and knees to pick up beads from a pretty girl’s broken necklace. After all, the boys explained, they were only being polite! MILDRED HALLGREN School Nurse “Milly” attended the Peter Bent Brig- ham Hospital, Simmons College, and UVM.

LEON R. HARVEY Coach and Physical Training Director Mr. “Red” Harvey attended Springfield College, Harvard, and Boston University. We heard him tell about the time when a senior psychology student faked a hypnotic trance and chased an underclassman over the campus with a fire axe. That must have been something to see!

TOMAT Dramatics and Speech A graduate of UVM, Mr. Tomat related the following incident that occurred while traveling in Europe in 1949. “I was forever misplacing things!

DONALD S. TOWLE Manual Training When asked if he had a nickname in college, Mr. Towle, replied, “Naturally--I’d be foolish to give one.” Do you mean that you don’t trust the well-mannered students of MHS?

June 9—Senior Picnic June 10—Baccalaureate Rehearsal June 14—Class Day June i5—GRADUATION 29 Class History Under The Big Tent OR Our Four Years In JVlHS As Freshmen amateur performers We enter the side door; In that “big tent” we were to rise To fame that will last forevermore. As spring came on in ’49 We gaily felt the urge To have a party—so we did, And a good time did emerge. To welcome us the veteran stars Staged a reception spree; Although we didn’t know the “ropes”. We sang and laughed with glee. After a nice long vacation We returned to our circus ground; Being juniors and “big wheels” Was really terrific we found. To lead our Freshman Circus Band We elected Billy Wong. Peg Shepard, Betty Hayward, and Kay Ballou helped him along. Now President Peggy stepped to the front, Ann Hoxie and Pat Taylor too; Vaughn Stewart took in the cash These officers we couldn’t boo! In January the word “exams” Scared us for many days, But when we got by this ordeal, We found we’d roped some A’s. Behind footlights upon the stage Bethany, Joyce, and Jim could be seen Acting their way through “Londonderry Air” And say! they were sure keen. Later in our Freshman year, We had a glorious chance To entertain the Seniors With a gala winter dance. Ann Hoxie won a scholarship For her debating prowess, And Bethany Thayer with her dancing Was really one to wow us. As sophomores—under the “big tent” The leaders of our circus ring Were Ward, Corskie, Amor, and Howe, And they were really quite the thing! The operetta “Mikado” featured Pat Taylor, Carol Howe, and Beth, Fred Curtis, and Joyce were colossal too And last but not least, Jean “Stef”. Star performers in “Kind Lady” Were Pats (Peake and Taylor), Carol, and Joyce; And Eleanor Fletcher sang “Patience” With her melodious voice. The main event of our Junior year, (And this was no side show) Was the Junior Prom—oh! such fun For every belle and beau. Our class was fast developing talent In twirling, cheering, and band; And always from the spectators We got a great big hand. Back to school in 1950 We paraded through the front door Proud we were with privileges, We got respect and honor galore! 30 Our fourth year was a Merry-Go-Round We all were in a whirl. Class pictures, name cards, and sometimes tests Gave problems to each boy and Kiri. The guy who “cracked the whip” this year Was Milan; and his crew Were Carol H. and Connie F. And Bob Lamphere helped him too. Connie Pierce headed GAA, Pat Taylor had the Masque. Dick Gale was Student Council Pres. Which was no little task. Kay B. had ‘‘Record” for her job, Carol Howe “The SOLONSCOPE”, Getting these printed was a problem With which they had to cope. We staged as neat a reception As we’d seen our Freshman year And the applause from the class of ’54 Was sweet music for us to hear. The fall play “The Family Upstairs” Brought Ann Hoxie an actress name And Carol H. and Jeannie S. Helped to add much to the same. Connie Folsom was chosen to go. To the UN in New York with Bob Edson, According to all the splendid reports They learned much and also had fun! The operetta “The Gondoliers” W as really quite a feat; Fred. Connie, Bob, Joyce and Jean, Helped make it really neat. Pat Peake was billed for the prize play; Lola directed “Sugar and Spice”, And when the spring play came along. That too was very nice Our boys now shone in all the sports; They were on every team Ward, Mersey, Lamphere, Rowan, Corskie, Gale, Kane, and Lupien. Eastman, Maunsell, and Bonazoni, Were also on the ball; Jim Brusa with his water pail Gave comfort to them all. We’ve neglected to mention our council; Active members there have been, With Ginny, Betty, Carrot, Ann, Kay. Bill, We couldn’t help but win. Yes, all this year w e have raced around, Clowning through all our days, But now Graduation’s here, we part To go our separate ways. 3i THEN end NOW MILAN LAWSON ■ JANETLEE GARFIELD BILL WARD DONALD ROWAN 32 THEN and NOW Class Will I, Wanita Abbey, bequeath to my sister, Joyce, my thimbleful of knowledge.

To qualify for this award a student must have an 85 average or over for six semesters and his character must be of the highest quality. In our high school, character is judged on the basis of a rating sheet that covers courtesy, co- operation, initiative, perseverance and the capacity for individual work. Of course, leader- ship in school organizations is taken into con- sideration. We would like to express our sincerest congratulations to the following students who have proved themselves worthy of this award: Jane Anderson Kathryn Ballou John Bianchi Virginia Burleson Janice Chandler Joyce Cooper Earle Ellingwood Constance Folsom Elizabeth Hayward Marjorie Holmes Beverly Hood Carol Howe Ann Hoxie Lorraine Kelley Milan Lawson Harriet Morse Patricia Peake David Perrin Constance Pierce Phylis Ryan Margaret Shepard Roslyn Slosberg Claire Taplin Patricia Taylor Vernon Turner Silver ‘M One of the most coveted honors an M. H. S. student may receive is that of Silver “M”. The seniors who receive this award must be outstanding in scholarship as well as active in extra-curricular activities. Scholarship points are granted on the student’s scholastic average. Extra-curricular points are awarded on a point system designed by the Student Council; points being granted for membership or office in various activities. Two awards are given, one in the fall and the other one in the spring. To qualify for the fall award the senior must have ten points in scholarship and eight points in extra-curricular activities. Fourteen scholarship and eight extra-curricular units must have been accumu- lated to be eligible for the award in the spring.

Study Hall Montpelier High School Graduation Day 1951 Dear Freshmen, Well, you’ve been under the “Big Top” for a whole season now. Did you ever think that you would get that far? But you’ll have to admit even though it has been a lot of hard work, it has been a lot of fun too. Just think what you have achieved, and think how you’ll feel next year when you won’t have to holler, “Hey Rube!” every time you get into trouble. The reason for this will be, obviously, that you will be wise and worldly Sophomores, and you won’t get into half as much trouble. As much as we hate to admit it, you’ve been grand little troupers. You have been really generous in contributing to the J. V'. teams and the cheering sections. George Melete , Bob Bjorn, and Jimmy Barrett look like material for future stars—just what our show needs. That peppy cheer leader, Peggy Spaulding, has really helped draw the crowds. Roy Kelly makes it possible for us to leave with a clear conscience in that M. H. S. will be sure of having a pianist in ’54. That re- minds us, next year many of your members will be a part of one chorus or another. That will be another way in which you can help the show. That dance on April 13th really was a life saver. We are glad some class was brave enough to go ahead and plan something on Friday, the 13th, because if you hadn’t, per- haps we would have had to, and you know how superstitious old circus hands like us are. Don’t let us forget—thank you very much for having a dance in our honor. We really were quite flattered. You have done well during this first sea- son, but we want to caution you so that you will not go too far. Remember that you are only Sophomores, and that Sophomores are not upperclassmen. Keep in mind also that your work will become a little harder as you work your wfay up in the show wrorld. A great many responsibilities will fall on your shoulders this year, but if you elect officers as capable in the years to come as you did this year, you will have little difficulty. In closing we wish to leave all possible luck to the class of ’54, and always remember the prestige of the Seniors in the show. Sincerely, 47 “WE LIONS” Sophomore Class Front Row G Holmes. B.

Ewen Study Hall Montpelier High School Graduation Day 1951 Dear Sophomores, Just imagine it! You’ve been under the “Big Top” for two whole years now, and look where you are —upperclassmen. It seems unbelievable, doesn’t it? It seemed that way to us too, but just wait until you have the satisfication of being Seniors. You’ve been a grand class to have in our show, especially in the performance of many of your members. In the Masque productions Marlene Martell, Claire Barney, John Goller and Grant Reynolds just a few of the many— have really done a sensational job. We’ve noticed that there are also many musicians in your class and that they’ve been contributing to the good work of the choruses and the band. What our show always can use is up and com- ing young athletes, and your class seems to be well supplied. We expect to see Reggie Cooley and all those other grand players in a place on the Varsity. We want to congratulate your cheerleaders who have done a commend- able job at getting the cheers out of the crowd. Say, before we forget it, that Barn Dance w'hich you sponsored and put on so success- fully was a credit to your class. After noting this achievement, we feel sure that you will be capable of having a Junior Prom almost as nice as ours was. However, we’d like to drop a hint—it’s a lot of hard work, but take it from us, it’s worth it. Another thing which we’re sure you’ve been looking forward to is the day when you can wear those school rings. Just think—you’ll be the first class to wear it, and that certainly is something to be proud of. We envy you that it wasn’t we that could have had that honor. At long last you’ve reached one goal— the half way mark. Y ou’ve done the job well, so far. Our advice to you as we leave is re- member that it is a great honor to be an upper- classman, and with this honor goes the part of being and setting an example for the under- classmen. (Remember how you used to look up to the Juniors and try to imitate them?) And something else that we’re sure the Seniors will appreciate—remember that a Junior can not violate the “Keep Off” sign on the front door. There is one last thing, and then we shall stop—please, please don’t neglect those studies. They are important too. Happy Junior Days to the grand class of ’53- Sincerely, “WE LIONS” Front Row. S.

You are now the stars of the show; you no longer have to sneak in under the tent; you can come in the Front Door; you can choose those wonderful Senior privileges with which to baffle underclassmen; you can have your homeroom seats during study period; you can have the honor of putting on the first dance of the year; you may sit, see, and hear the assemblies from the front rows of the auditorium, and you can have all the other numerous honors of becoming a Senior. It is a great honor to be a Senior. We warn you—treat the new honor with care. However, we feel quite secure in leaving the show because you new Seniors seem to have a capable class. In football, basketball and baseball you have star performers who will uphold the name of the show. Monty Mc- Dermott, Dave Jeffrey, and Franklin Green- berg plus the many other outstanding ones will surely do our show justice. The cheering squad will be extra peppy with all your class members led by ‘Cynkie’ Berry out there drumming up interest. Betty McLeod leaves us with a confident feeling that the choruses and assemblies will be properly accompanied. The Masque and all the other organizations are anticipating having your members as their leaders. This year you w ill be receiving your Silver “M” ’s and your Pro Merito awards. These are great honors to have bestown upon you, so be sure to work hard for them and make yourselves worthy of them. Incidentally, as much as we hate to admit it, that Prom wdiich you put on was a fine affair. Almost as nice as ours was, but nothing can quite equal the performances of ’51. Well, you’ve made it! We bet you thought the day would never get here when you could say you were Seniors and could walk out the Front Door without checking the time and trembling for fear you didn’t look at the time correctly. It’s a great day in your life and we know how you feel. We felt the same. This achievement is well worth all the hard wrork you’ve put in so far. Remember the last year is a hard one, but there are more good times in it than all the others put to- gether. We feel quite lucky to be leaving our place under the “Big Top” to such a fine class, and we w ish you all the good times there are in being Seniors.

Football Team Played Scores Visitors Home Hartford 38 0 Lyndonville 34 6 St. Johnsbury 18 0 Newport 34 0 St. Albans 32 0 Burlington 46 0 Spaulding 37 12 The football teams couldn’t seem to get started this year. They went the entire season without a win. Last year’s graduation, in- juries, and some bad breaks helped our foes. Another fact in our opponents’ favor was that we had a light and inexperienced team. But with all these disadvantages the varsity still made a good showing. The seven lettermen that did return, as well as the new recruits, played well and showed clean sportsmanship during the whole season. The team was clean, hard fighting, and worked very well together. The Green and White was led by Captain Billy Ward, quarter-back and signal-caller. “Monty” McDermott, next year’s captain, played the tailback position. Charlie Jerd, the fullback, played a good game of football and got honorable mention in the state high school football poll. At right-half was speedy Dick Gale. There were only three touchdowns scored this year. Charlie Jerd made the first in the Lyndonville game. Against our rival, Spauld- ing, “Monty” made a nice run to score. The third touchdown was made by Dick Gale also in the Spaulding Game. The ends were John Lupien, Dave Jeffrey, Dave Maunsell and Donald Kane. The tackles were Jay Bonazoni, and “Moose” Harvey. At guards were sophomore Bill Gidney and Bob Lamphere. Bob did an excellent job on both offense and defense and got honorable mention in the sports poll also. 54 At center was John Corskie, who did a very good job. Serious losses to the Solons were tackle ‘‘Red” Willey, who was injured for the whole football season in our first game, and Billy Ward, who was side-lined in the middle of the season. Another serious loss was McDermott, who was off and on the bench the greater part of the season with a bad ankle. With most of the varsity coming back next year, Montpelier and Coach Harvey have high hopes of a profitable season. JUNIOR VARSITY For the first time in the history of M. H. S., the junior varsity had a better season than the varsity. The junior Solons swamped the Lyndon ville “J. YVs” by a 27-0 to end the season with a one win and two lost record. The “J. YVs” made a good showing in all three games, and there ought to be a very good football team at Montpelier in the future. 55 First Row: D. Jeffrey, D. Rowan, J. Lupien, C. Henty, D. Gale. W. Ward.

This year seems to be a bad one for Montpelier in the field of sports. But in basketball we had some very tough breaks. We lost to the league-leading teams by so small a margin that it seems impossible that we should end up at the bottom of the league. The last two games were the two best games of the year, and the Solons really showed how- basketball should be played. But it had its bright side. “Sonny” Mersey came in second in the Northern League scoring even after missing three games. His shots from the corners had the crowrd gasping and cheering in every game in which he played. McDermott, who only played ten games, was not far behind him, in sixth place. Both of these men made All-Northern League, Mersey as either first team center or forward, and “Monty” as second team guard. An- other Solon who was among the twenty top scorers was Leon Induni, a transfer from Spaulding. The other two men on the Montpelier first string were fiery John Lupien and guard Dave Jeffrey. Dick Gale and Frank Green- berg also figured prominently in the Solon lineup. With McDermott, Jeffrey, Induni and Greenberg back next year, the Montpelier basketball team should be tops. “J.V s” The junior varsity fared better than the varsity this year. They lost to Burlington and BFA of St. Albans once and Spaulding twice while winning all the others to end up in third place. With men like Vaile Robinson, Jimmy Barrett, Bob Bjorn, Reggie Cooley and little John Storey there are high hopes of a great team in the future. 57 Fimi row—K. McGrath. W. Ward, E. Smith, V.

Lamphere Baseball With the coming of spring, Montpelier High School again turns to the baseball dia- mond. The team got a late start in practice because of bad weather, but it looked fine in the pre-season warmups. There are many veterans back this year, and it looks like a good season of baseball for the Solons. With such men as Monty Mc- Dermott, Bill Ward, Eddie Smith, John Lupien, and Vaile Robinson, the Ml IS team should be near the top of the league at the end of the season. Newr recruits will strengthen the line-up greatly. Among these are Dick McGrath, “Stubby” Henry, George Meletes, and Robert Bjorn. If they play during the season the way they did during practice, the Solons will have a great baseball team this year and in the fol- lowing years. The team will be working hard to win all through the season, and the least the rest of us can do is to support it by going to the games.

Under the coaching of Mr. Caswell the team had a very eventful season, participating in six meets. The team went to St. Johnsbury for the first contest, but did not make a very good showing, placing last. In the State Divi- sional Meet held in Lyndon on January 27, our team placed fourth, thus qualifying to ski in the State Meet held there February 2 and 3. Our luck ran out there and we came in last. Our team raced in Northfield February 10, and in Newport the next week, and placed last in both meets. On March 10, MHS played host to teams representing Newport, Northfield and Spaulding. Members of the Ski Club officiated at the meet. Led by Cap- tain John Corskie, a great all around skier, and supported by Bill Ward, Jim Lamphere and Bill Bottomley our ‘A’ team took first place. Thus our team finished a very active season the way they hope to start the next one. Many veterans will be skiing next year and we ought to have another good team.

The promoting of athletics and good sportsmanship is the purpose of the Girls’ Athletic Association and during the year they have done much toward accomplishing this goal. The Executive board, with Connie Pierce as President, Polly White as Vice Pres’dent, Pasina Cobo as Secretary and Betty McAllis- ter as Treasurer under the supervision of Miss Holmstrom, plans the activities for the organization. This includes the weekly partic- ipation and competition between the girls of different classes in basketball, volleyball, badminton, pingpong, softball, and any other sport that is possible to be played in our gym. The social events this year consisted of a hen party, the annual spring get-together, and an overnight hike to Sterling Mountain. During the February vacation, GAA’ers spent five days skiing at Mount Mansfield with the State Ski Dorm as their quarters. Awards are given at the conclusion of the year, for those wrho have participated a certain number of hours in all of the sports played after school, and also those w hich the members participate in outside of school such as hiking, skiing, skating, bowling, horseback riding, pool and the like. 60 MEMORY LANE 61 DON'7 B£ AFRAID A ttl M Jl WP A LtTT£R.

One season this circus band was debating HOWE to get AMOR substantial intake of funds. They printed notices of the great circus and, standing on street corners and near HOLMES, they let the COLE GALE of wind that BALLOU, scatter the advertisements around the town. This plan worked well and when the Big Night came every ROW AN seat was FOL— SOM even had to stand up. In the isle there was a MAUNSELL ing candy KANEs, CLARK and HERSEY bars, and HOOD’s ice cream. The big moment came. First appeared a WELCH acrobat. Her husband ANDERSON helped TURNER over and over on a trapese. All were horrified when she slipped and fell HAYWARD, but she landed in a big soft pile of hay so it didn’t BRUSA. The next thing was a weight-lifter who took off the ROBIE had on and lifted almost a SINGLE- TON. The animals came next: the giraff with his REED-like neck, the bear and her BURLESON, the monkeys with TAYLOR- made, KELLEY green coats. The lioness looked so tame one hated to sec the keepers COOPER up in a cage. Now in the SENTER ring, a BOWMAN shot arrows to PIERCE the heart of a cardboard clown. He was blindfolded so he couldn’t PEAKE. At that point a small boy trying to crawl under the tent Hap was caught by Officer EASTMAN who said, “That’s against the LAW—SON.” The boy muttered to himself, “I’ll pay back that RATT-AZZI turns his back.” After the show was over, everybody agreed, comPERRIN it with previous years, that it was the best yet, and they looked foreWARD to next year. The PRESCOTT the performance and gave it such a good write- up that the circus band no longer felt re- MORSE. They also had made enough money to have a big party. It was rumored that the happy Manager BONAZONI treated them all to RYAN soda before they broke up and w'ent on their way. 66 First Row F. White, M. Shepard. S. FitzPatrick, K. Ballou, V. Burleson. D.

The Board has the work of putting out a bigger and better Record every year. In order to raise money, candy and cokes were sold at basketball games by the members. Annual Record Board Fair was held in the Fall and as usual it was a huge suceess around the gaily decorated rooms were booths and games which provided fun and enjoyment for all. The highlight of the evening was a talent show and competition was keen for the prizes. The members of the board are selected Juniors and Seniors. The officers this year are: Editor: Kay Ballou Assistant Editor: Sammy Fitzpatrick Treasurer: Betty McAllister Business Manager: V irginia Burleson Asst. Business Manager: David Coburn Each member serves on a special com- mittee, each with a committee chairman. Some of the committees are: Organizations, Faculty, Photography, Features, Senior Write- Ups and Advertising. All the members help to type before the Record is sent to press.

Solonscope This year the students of Montpelier High School were treated to a new and better SOLONSCOPE. Thanks to the efforts of Editor Carol Howe our school paper was printed clearly and legibly, something the whole school had wanted for a long time. The paper was financed by selling advertising space to business concerns. Ten issues were printed during the year. Subscriptions were sold for 65c and single copies could be pur- chased for ioe. To raise money members of the staff sold candy at some of the Masque productions. The SOLONSCOPE was made more interesting this year by the pictures that were printed. The big event in the SOLONSCOPE year was the semiformal dance “Club $1” which was held on February 10. This was a money raising project. The atmosphere of a night club invaded the Union School gym. Tables with attractive center pieces were set around the room. The hosts in tuxedos es- corted the couples to the tables and presented them with menus which offered a delicious selection of food. Waitresses took orders and brought the food. A floor show at intervals during the evening proved to be very popular.

Student Council One of the most honored and important groups in Montpelier High School is the Stu- dent Council. This organization is under the direction of Mr. Myrick. Headed by president Richard Gale, the Student Council sponsored a Sadie Hawkins dance and chartered a bus to the Burlington basketball game. The Council is working on a handbook which will be pub- lished to give in-coming freshmen classes a better knowledge of our school. A list of standard senior privileges was drawn up which will be used by all senior classes. The pos- sibility of having a school ring instead of class rings was discussed and the Student Council prepared a list of the advantages and disad- vantages. This list was posted on the bulletin board so that all the students would be familar with the problem. On April 5 the whole school was given the opportunity to vote for the ring. MHS chose by a vote of 247 to 132 to have a standard school ring. The Student Council consists of repre- sentatives elected by each class and a senior appointed by the faculty advisor. The mem- bers are: Seniors:—Richard Gale, President; Donald Rowen; Ann Hoxie; Betty Hay- ward; William Ward. Juniors—Jane Willey, Vice-President; Eleanor Bisbee; Franklin Greenberg; Frank Gross. Sophomores—Norma Taylor, Secretary-Treas- urer; Ruth Ann Peterson; John Goller. 70 Freshmn: Robert McLeod; Kay Billado. Front Row: J. Marvin, 8. Barclay, I r. Chaatney, 8. Holden, E. Warren.

A varsity team and a junior varsity team were chosen early in De- cember. Varsity Jack Marvin Shirley Barkley Emily Warren Sally Holden j. v. AFFIRMATIVE Susan Lindsay Dean Clewley NEGATIVE Bob Simon David Maxham This year the National High School Debate topic was, Resolved: that the people of the United States should reject the welfare state. This was the topic used in the debate tourna- ment held in Burlington on April 28. The varsity participated in the tournament. Both teams had a practice debate with Burlington on March 15, and one with Randolph. Dr. Chastney advised the club and gave the members many pointers. Debating helped the members develop confidence and poise. The practice debate with Burlington was held in Montpelier High School. Both the Varsity and J. V. teams participated. Al- though there was no decision, much valuable experience was gained. 7 F. Green burg, J. Goller. Dr. Chutney, E. Hayward Assembly Committee Every year a member from each class is chosen from the Student Council to serve on the Assembly Committee with the senior member acting as chairman. This committee might as well be called the “Big Four” for though they are small in number they carry a big responsibility. It is due to their ingenuity and careful planning that once every week we are the recipients of an interesting program. Plan- ning the programs is not their only job. They must secure the speakers, choose the color guards, the Hag bearers, the leader of the as- sembly and last but not least, rehearse with them. This year the committee included: Chairman—Betty Hayward Member of Class of ’$2—Frank Greenberg Member of Class of y$J—John Goller Due to the delay in the Freshman elec- tions there was no Freshman representative. The faculty advisor was Mr. Chastney. 72 In Front M. McDermott. R. MrManu. First How. I . White. D. Warren, R. Lamphere, K. Lawson, A. Hoxie. Hack Row: B. McAUiater, J Graham. E. Hiyward, C. Pierce.

The officers elected were: President- Bob Lamphere Secretary—Polly White Treasurer—Ronald Lawson The job of the Athletic Association is to raise money to pay the expenses of the teams, buy equipment, pay referees and finance any other items incurred by the athletic program of M. H. S. This is done through the sale of tickets at basketball and football games and the taking of donations at baseball games. The tickets are sold by the members of the association and a volunteer ticket squad which consists of Don Warren, Wayne Clark, David Coburn, Sam FitzPatrick, Melvin Mcknight, Richard McGrath, Wayne Woods, Allen John- ston, John Ewen, David Arey and Robert Leno. It is also through this organization that the letters and charms are bought and distributed. 73 First Row M. Greavew. K. Hallnu. C. Howe. V. Burleson, C. Henrhel, D. Curtin, J. Hruna. C. Taplin, R.

Masque Under its new director, Mr. Leonard Tornat, the Masque had an extremely success- ful year. Besides its regular business meet- ings the members were entertained at an even- ing social meeting where they heard an in- teresting speaker and had refreshments. The full length productions that were given this year included Harry Delfs “The Family Upstairs , Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Gondoliers”, and “Ever Since Eve by Ryerson and Clements. There were also two one-act plays produced, one of which was “Suppressed Desires” by Susan Glaspell, which won second place in the District One Act Play Contest. The other, “Sugar and Spice” by Ryerson and Clements, was a comedy produced under a student director, Dolores Amor. The cast of the play included Sandra Reynolds, Grant Reynolds, Pasina Cobo, Bill Ward and Marlene Martell. The organization awards a pin to any member earning 20 points. These points are given not only for acting but for backstage work, sale of tickets, publicity, and other jobs connected with a production as well. Any member earning 40 points receives a letter and becomes an honorary member of the Masque. 74 75 The Family Upstairs The Masque’s first production under their new director Mr. Leonard R. Tomat was the comedy “The Family Upstairs” by Harry Delf. Aside from the humorous lines the play had a serious plot in which some members of the cast were called upon to portray characters much older or younger than themselves. The setting of the play was the living room of the upstairs flat of the Heller family. This is where Mrs. Heller trys to induce twelve year old Annabelle to practice her piano lessons and Mr. Heller does his best to interest his son Willie in getting a job. The older daugh- ter, Louise, entertains her “young man”, Charles Grant, here also. The supporting cast consists of Charles mother and brother and the gossiping seamstress from down- stairs. Mrs. Heller Mr. Heller Louise Willie Annabelle Charles Grant Miss Calahan Mrs. Grant Herbert Grant Sandra Reynolds John Goller Ann Hoxie Ronnie Lawson Carol Howe Leon Induni Lyn Steele Jean Stefanazzi Dean Clewley The Qondolicrs The catchy melodies and beautiful solos of Gilbert and Sullivan were enjoyed by all when the Masque and Choral Groups presented the operetta “The Gondoliers” December 7, 8, and 9. The gay skirts and peasant blouses of the chorus and the period costumes of the leads made a beautifully colorful panorama on the stage. The plot of the production involved two recently married gondoliers wrho w'ere informed by the Grand Inquisitor that one of them was an exiled king married in infancy, but nobody knew which of the two it was. The baby girl the king had married was Casilda, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Plaza- Toro, who was now in love with Luiz. The nurse of the royal baby had been Inez, Luiz mother, who was finally found and revealed that years ago she had switched the babies so Luiz was really the true king. The leads were: Tessa Gianetta Guiseppe Marco Duke of Plaza- Con nie Folsom Joyce Cooper Bob Edson Wayne Clark Toro Ronnie Lawson Duchess Jean Stefanazzi, Gale Wolynec Casilda Evelyn Stillwell Luiz John Goller, Gordon Young Don Alhambra Fred Curtis Inez Gale Wolynec, Jean Stefanazzi Suppressed Desires “Suppressed Desires” by Susan Glaspell was presented along with four other plays from different towns at the District One Act Play Contest, March 26, in Union School Auditori- um. The cast included Henrietta Brewster (Pat Peake), her husband Stephen (Leon Induni), and her sister Mabel (Claire Barney). The plot evolves around a wife who is extremely obsessed with psychoanalysis; and her husband, who is very disinterested in it, but finally goes to the analyist for a report that 76 will stop his wife’s nagging. When Mabel visits the couple, Henrietta decides that her sister is unhappily married and sends her to the analyist. After the wife learns that Stephen has a suppressed desire to be freed of marriage and Mabel has a suppressed desire for Stephen, she is ready to stop her constant talk of psychoanalysis and settle down to a peaceful life with her husband. The play was rated second by the contest judge. E. Alvarez, W. Douglas, S. I.eBourveau, M. Shepard, S. Reynolds, C. Berry, J. Willey. Cheerleaders The pep and noise at football and basket- ball games were furnished by our seven cheer- leaders. The veterans on the cheering squad were Peggy Shepard, the captain; Evelyn Alvarez, Cynthia Berry, Suzanne LeBourveau, Sandra Reynolds, and Jane Willey. The newcomer was Claire Barney who replaced Wanda Douglas. Our cheers go to the gals in green and w'hite who added vim, vigor and vitality to the games and to the football rally. The pep rally before the Spaulding game was very successful this year due to the careful planning of Peg Shepard and the wholehearted support of the students who participated. Led by the school band and the cheerleaders, the group paraded to the State House where they cheered loudly. This year the cheerleaders sported new uniforms at the basketball games. The uni- forms were paid for by the hard work of the girls and the cooperation of the student body. Candy, soda and pop corn were sold at the football games last year and money w'as raised on “Tag Day”. The cheerleaders were grate- ful to the class of ’53 for their help in raising the needed sum. 77 First Row: S. Grappone, R. Lawaon, C. Folaona, J. Stefa nazzi. P. Ryan. Miss Newton, D. Amor. J.

This group always pro- duces a varied and enjoyable program of music. In addition to its annual combined concert with St. Johnsbury Academy and its audition at the All-State Music Festival in Burlington, the chorus also sang at the Winooski Valley Music Festival in Barre on March 29. Al- though this is the first y ear that a V inooski V alley Music Festival has been held, the festi- val was a success and everyone is anticipating another one next year. The Mixed Chorus has sung for several organizations during the year including the Woman’s Club of Montpelier, and the League of Women Voters. The chorus also sang at the UN Day ceremony at the State House. The officers for this year’s choral group are: President: Constance Folsom Vice-President: Ronald Lawson Secretary: Dolores Amor 78 Treasurer: Sandra Reynolds business Manager: Jean Stefanazzi Assistant Business Manager: Phylis Ryan Librarians: Shirley Grappone Wayne Clark Every year a number of students are selected to represent Montpelier in the All- State Chorus in the Burlington Music Festival.

Girls’ Glee Club This year the Girls’ Glee Club had an unusually large turn out which make for a bigger and better chorus. The bigger chorus can present a more attractive program and the experience stimulates an interest in good music. The chorus participated in the Montpelier High School-St. Johnsbury Academy Concert as well as auditioned at the Burlington Music Festival. The group also presented a well- received program at the Winooski Valley Teachers’ Convention. The most interesting program, called a Travelogue, was presented to earn money for their rube fund. The Travelogue included songs from all parts of our country and abroad. 79 First Row D. Warren. Ft. Kdaon, J. ('.oiler. L. Induni. F. C.ro««, D. Miller. D. Coburn, H. lj w on Back Row: W.

Boys’ CKorus The Boys’ Chorus, although a compara- tively new organization, has become an es- tablished and well noted part of the Montpelier music groups. They are a small and select group, and under the able leadership of Miss Newton, the boys have proven their versatility and aptness in the turning out of an excellent repertoire. Their fine renditions of spirituals and old folk songs have been the spotlights at the various concerts. They auditioned some of them at the Music Festival. When we realize how much work they must put into each practice session which, by the way, is just once a week, we heartily congratulate them and tell them to keep it up for years to come. One of the special features in this chorus is the Boys’ Quartette made up of John Goller, ist tenor, Ronald Lawson, 2nd tenor, Bob Ed son, ist base, and Leon Induni. 2nd base. They too have sung at many affairs and been asked to come again. 80 F rat Row R. Bjorn, C. Taplin. J. Anderson. R. Peterson, D. Warren. F. Greenberg. Second Row. J. I aird, K. Slack. W. Green, K.

The group plays a varied program including marches, novelty numbers, overtures, and popular songs. There is also work done with small ensembles and solos with accompaniment. During the school year the band enlivens both football and basketball games as well as playing for assemblies at high school and Union School. The group is also frequently asked to play for non-school activities and parades in the city. Their new green and white uniforms add greatly to these occasions. At its Spring Concert the band has an opportunity to show the public the results of its year of hard work in a varied and enjoyable program. Several of the band members partic- ipated in the Winooski Valley Festival Or- chestra and the All-State Band. Those chosen for the All-State Band were Jane Anderson, Claire Taplin.

This year some new reference books have been added to make the present collection more complete. The library also subscribes to several current magazines and papers. The large tables in the rear of the library provide ample working space and they are always covered with reference books and magazines. At the end of each period the librarian in charge returns books to the pro- per shelves and sees that the library is re- stored to its original neatness. Our staff of librarians is under the super- vision of Mrs. Small and the librarians are students who volunteer their study-hall time to assist in the library. For each period a librarian is seated in the library. There are also substitutes who act as librarians in case the regular librarian is absent. The jobs of the librarians arc varied. They keep books in order, help bewildered students find the material for which they are looking, keep the records of out-going and in- coming books, arrange shelves, mend torn pages, and catalog books. 82 [ADVERT I-SEMENTS] 83 List of Advertisers All American Diner American Fidelity Company Angelo’s Restaurant Bailey, E.
