ALBERT L. KNOX Mathematics “Two and two make four”, when added by Mr. A nox. He is a graduate of Boston Uni- versity, Harvard, Columbia and the Wash- ington Square College of NYU. During his second year in college, Mr. Knox won a scholar- ship which paid his expenses for 2} years at B. U. and one year at Harvard. He belonged to the Lambda Fraternity at B. U. and the honorary scholastic society, Phi Beta Kappa. verne l. McDonald Commercial While attending Hudson College and the University of Maine, Mr. McDonald majored in commercial education. One of his very proud moments was when he won the first prize at a Fraternity Frolics Beauty Contest. He was dressed up as a mother with several children (dolls), and he danced a jig on the stage much to the delight of his colleagues. MRS. REBECCA McLEOD Secretary to Mr. Chastney The good-natured lady who greets us with a smile whenever we chance to go into the school office needs little introduction. Mrs. McLeody known as “Becky”, attended Bay Path In- stitute and Simmons College, and we hear that she was very proficient in math. FORREST G. MYRICK History “There were many humorous events during my college days,” says Mr. Myrick, “but they wouldn’t be appreciated here and now.” Those days at Springfield, Colby, UVM, and Middlebury College must have been some- thing! “Mike” played on the first Vermont Championship football and basketball teams, and he belonged to the Chi Psi Fraternity, “Bones” and Theta Nu Epsilon. DORIS I. NEWTON Music Our music director attended Lowell Teachers College and Boston University. Miss Newton was active in the various musical and dramatic clubs and also participated in basketball and field hockey. Miss Newton went to Europe this summer, and the students find her reports on the various countries, and concerts, to be very interesting and informative. HELEN T. SAULT Latin A graduate of Green Mountain Junior Col- lege, UVM and Boston University, Miss Sault, called “Tess”, belonged to the glee club, dra- matics club, year book staff, and the Phi Beta Kappa Sorority. One day, as a result of a bribe. Miss Sault hitch-hiked home and was picked up by (of all people) the Dean of Women. The dean campused “Tess” for a month. HAROLD Wr. SHIPP History and English Mr. “Curly” Shipp graduated from so many colleges that they are too numerous to men- tion. We do, however, hear him mention his trials and trbiulations at Boston University. He innocently remembers the time one of his club members poured putric acid under the door of a rival club when they were having open house. MRS. MARGUERITE SMALL English M rs. Small was active in many organizations and a member of Alpha Zi Delta at UVM. She also attended Columbia where she majored in English and French. She is frequently seen in her cute little blue Ford. BULETIN—Ford re- cently converted to a new streamlined DeSota! MRS. DOROTHY C. TOBY Home Economics The first few weeks that Mrs. Tohey spent at the University of New Hampshire were made very memorable because all freshmen were required to wear green rubber bibs. Mrs. Tobey commutes from Barre, where she keeps house for her family. LEONARD R. 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! But I was sure that I didn’t misplace my wallet when it was lifted from me on a street car in Rome enroute to an outdoor opera.” He modestly admitted that the person who re- ceived his wallet couldn’t have become rich from the contents. 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? Someone said that “Wanje” has one now, but we wouldn’t think, of being so mean as to print it! 10
