PROLOGUE The 1956 Record has finally spun to reality. Now we may retire to the Rest Resort for Enervated Editors to compare ul- cers and reminisce of the red pencils, blue folders and innumer- able snapshots required by this yearbook. The editing was a lot of work but a lot more fun, and we would like to think that the traditional objective of a “bigger and better Record has been fulfilled—but that is for you to decide. We would like to express here our sincere appreciation to Miss Branch who cheerfully guided, prodded and “inspired us throughout the year, and who skillfully steered us from the usual editorial pitfalls. Without her guidance this yearbook never would have been. Thanks, Miss Branch. We also wish to give special recognition to our photogra- phers, the Houston Studios, and especially to Mr. Foster, for his generosity in taking the group pictures. We would also like to thank our advertisers for their magnanimity, our printers, The Leahy Press, and specifically, Mr. Leahy, for his patience and cooperation. Last, but most definitely not least, we wish to say thank you to our staff for its joint effort and heroic travail towards the publication of the Record, and to you, the students and faculty of Montpelier High School, who have made this yearbook possi- ble. We rest relieved in the knowledge that you finally have your copy of the 1956 Record in your hands, so now turn the page and get into the Spirit of it! — The Editors

WITH GRATITUDE It gives us, the Glass of 1956, great pleasure to be the first to graduate from this $1,000,000 structure. We feel that this fact alone distinguishes our class from the others which have passed through four years of Montpelier High School. We are still awed at the modern facilities and the beauty of our new school—and so very proud! We fully appreciate the fact that the construction of this building is a milestone in the educational advancement of central Vermont, and are proud to have the opportunity to play a small part in this progress. Now, at the time of our graduation, we depart w ith more than a touch of sadness at leaving this magnificent edifice, but always shall retain our initial pride and respect of our new school. We certainly shall strive to do our utmost to prove our- selves worthy of the quiet dignity of Montpelier High. We, the Senior Class of 1956, join with the faculty and underclassmen of Montpelier High School in expressing our appreciation of our new school and our gratitude to the gener- osity and foresight displayed by the voters of our city. Thank you, Montpelier, a thousand times over!
