Wendell R. Baldwin Basketball J.V. (2); Baseball J.V. (1, 2), Varsity (3), Letter (3); Pro-Merito (3) Another of our commuters, Wendell is a man of few words. He has many friends, however, who can tell you he's not so quiet outside of school. Is it true, girls? Certainly “We excel in what we enjoy” applies to Wendell and baseball. Although we don’t know much about his plans for the future, we do know that on another page of this Record you’ll find him in his National Guard uniform. Thomas P. Banfield “Tom’ Baseball J.V. (2) This good-looking philogynist tells us that he likes to hunt, but he didn’t specify his favorite game. Is it bear, deer, or heads, Tom? You name it and we’ll print it. As a man of fashion, he’s a connoisseur of socks—in technicolor! As a potential birdman for Uncle Sam, Tom is aiming high. We hope he finds both excitement and safe landings. Frank W. Barrett, Jr. “Skip Football J.V. (1); Basketball J. V. (1, 2); Solonscope (4); Baseball J.V. (1) Although Skip was voted our class woman-hater, he’s so very nice that the girls refuse to believe it. Our misogynist may seem somewhat unapproachable, but w'hen you get to know' him you’ll discover a mighty nice chap with plenty of Yankee humor. We often see him cruising in a big Buick with his “Escort.” Frank is a serious shutterbug, for he plans to become a professional photographer. Although he is already doing some commercial w'ork, he has found time to contribute to both the Solonscope and the Record. Daniel E. Battles “Dan” Football J.V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3); Solonscope (4) Combine one big smile, twro blue eyes, blond hair, and a football. Mix thoroughly and you will have Danny. He doesn’t let a commuting distance stand between him and fun because where he is it is, and where it is Danny’s sure to be. Dan is looking toward a career in journalism, and some- day the Solonscope staff may be able to crow, “We knew him when ”

“Rog” Roger Abbey Have you seen a flat-top haircut whizzing by behind the wheel of a black Oldsmobile or behind the counters of a local supermarket? That’s our boy, Rog. He’s quite a man about town it seems, for he’s always on the move. We are sure his avocation, party-going, will pay big dividends. Take our word for it, Rog is an asset to anyone’s party. Jeanne F. Bailey “Jeanie’ GAA (1); Freshman Chorus (1) Jeanne may appear to be a serious-minded student in school, but wait ’til that bell rings when she becomes the peppiest member of “the gang.” Dark eyes, a modified D.A. haircut, and a flair for clothes all belong to Jeanne. Oh, oh, we mustn’t forget to remember that sparkler she sports. John R. Baird “Johnny’ Band (1, 2, 3, 4), All-State Band (4); Boys’ Chorus (2, 3, 4). Mixed Chorus (2, 3, 4), Pendant (4); “Fortune Teller” (2) The BIG bass in both band and chorus, John divides his many practicing hours between voice and sousaphone. If you think he’s quiet, sit in front of him in class and you’ll hear intriguing witticisms. Conservative Johnny’s brains and intellectual curiosity will undoubtedly make the world a more interesting place. We are continually amazed— and amused—with his insight... especially in English class. Richard W. Baldwin 'Dick' Basketball J.V. (1); Ticket Squad (4); Freshman Chorus (1), Boys’ Chorus (2, 3, 4); Mixed Chorus (2, 3. 4) Tall and lanky, Dick is the original “hep-cat.” A jazzy fiend from ’way back, he’ll set any dance a-stomping. Dick seems to like school life in general and girls in particular. And for the record, we mustn’t forget to mention his dex- terity with the guitar. After graduation this mad musician just might trade in his “strings” for “wings.”

Douglas B. Booth Doug’ On the surface Doug may appear rather quiet, but when you get to know him, you will find that appearances are de- ceiving. Doug often journeys mountaimvard in his blue and white Chevy for a day on the sticks. Something of an en- trepreneur, he does quite a brisk business selling fish worms! Often, especially in study hall, his sense of humor w ill not be suppressed; hence, merriment for all. A staunch friend, Doug is a guy worth knowing. Mildred P. Brochard Although Mildred was a transfer in her junior year, she has made more friends than many of us have in four years. A bowl of Italian spaghetti with hot sauce and winter in Wyoming would fulfill some of her dreams. Mildred has courageously planned to take driving les- sons in the near future, so she may spend that winter in Wyoming, after all. Her other plans have bells as back- ground music. The best to you, Mildred! Robert H. Brown ‘Bob Let us assure you that “Robert Brown” is not a con- venient alias, but the vrai nom of one of our best known East Montpelierites. Living out of town has never discouraged Bob because he always manages to show up for all the Solons’ home games. He takes an active part in 4-H work and tackles each new job enthusiastically. Perhaps Bob does seem quiet at times, but he can’t fool us! Eleanor M. Bugbee Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2. 3, 4). Mixed Chorus (3, 4). Pendant (4), All-State Chorus (4); Assistant Wardrobe Mistress (4), Masque (1, 2. 3, 4). Pin (3), Assistant Business Manager (3), Business Manager (4), Wizard of Oz” (2); Pro-Merito (3); Office Staff (4); Silver M” (3); Student Council (3. 4); Solonscope (2, 3); Record Board (3, 4) If Priscilla is near, we don’t have to look far to find Eleanor. Listen a minute—hear that giggle? Loyal and lik- able, who could ask for a better friend. Although she is one of the gals who makes with the marks, Eleanor always manages to have beaucoup de fun, too. The Masque and Choruses can speak for her diligence; her personality speaks for itself!
