Anthony R. Hill “Tony” A preliminary chuckle, a cautious grin, a mischievous laugh—Tony’s here. We seniors all agree that he’s the “Most- fun-in-home-rooms” even though the faculty may not concur with us. A happy-go-lucky, sunny-side-up sort of guy, Tony contributes much to the general jollifications here and there. Friendly, funny, and fairly loquacious, Tony represents Dignity suffused with Merriment. Timothy E. Houghton “Tim Eat, drink, and be merry; tomorrow’s uncertain is “Big Tim’s” avowed philosophy. A scintillating character who’s got what it takes, Tim’s bark is worse than his bite, we can assure you. In school, Tim’s all business. He seeks his pleas- ure on the ski slope, tennis court, or in merely “hacking around.” Marks, mind and hypotheses are Tim’s assets, and a better conversationalist is hard to find. David H. Hudson “Rock” Football J.V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3); Basketball J.V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3); Baseball J.V. (1), Varsity (2, 4); Track (3); Assembly Committee (3, 4). Chairmanship (4); Freshman Chorus (1), Boys’ Chorus (2), Mixed Chorus (2); Band (1, 2, 3, 4), All-State Band (2, 4); Student Council (1, 2, 3. 4), Secretary-Treasurer (2); Junior Prom Music Committee Chairman (3) May we present Davey “Crockett” Hudson, the cham- pion lady-charmer with the wink that drops ’em all. What would life have been without this demon to torment us! Al- though he’s a hot trumpet soloist, Dave also settles down to being a real asset to our Student Council and sees to it that our assemblies run smoothly. Janet R. Ippich “Jan” GAA (1, 2, 3, 4); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4); Pro-Merito (4); Style Show (2) One of the calmer gals in the illustrious class of ’56, Jan is very skillful in the domestic arts of cooking and sew- ing. Her favorite subject is arithmetic; but that necessarily involves her pet peeve, homework. Dependable and sports- manlike, Janet is always ready with that friendly smile and helping hand.

Susan A. Goodwin “Sue Ski Club (1, 2, 3, 4), Ski Team Varsity (1, 2, 3, 4); GAA (1, 2, 3, 4), Secretary (2), Business Manager (4), 50 Point Award (1); Class Vice-President (2); Band (1. 2, 3, 4), All-State Band (4); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), Pin (3), Vice-President (3), “The Bat“ (2); Pro-Merito (3); Silver “M“ (3); Solonscope (2, 3, 4), Assistant Editor (3), Editor (4); Record Board (4); Junior Prom Music Committee Chairman (3); Girls State (3), Lieutenant Governor (3) Yahoo! Sue’s off to the mountain ’cause it’s National Hunk Week. Socializing is one of Sue’s specialties, and she definitely has the personality for it. First she represented MHS at Vermont Girls State, then she was elected Lieutenant Governor of Girls State, and finally she was the Vermont representative at Girls Nation in Gail E. Graham Librarian (2); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (3, 4), Mixed Chorus (4), All-State Chorus (4); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), Pin (3); Pro- Merito (4); Silver “M” (4); Solonscope (2, 3, 4); Record Board (3, 4) An extremely responsible person is Gail, who is always working for Masque, Mixed Chorus or Solonscope. Even though she comes from Calais, she always manages to join the crowd at sport and social events. Since a merry heart doeth good like a medicine, Gail will certainly make an excellent nurse. ((T 5 Janie Ski Club (1. 2, 3), Ski Team (1, 2); GAA (1, 2, 3), 50 Point Award (1), 100 Point Award (2). 200 Point Award (3); Band (1. 2, 3, 4). All- State Band (4); Masque (1, 2, 3); Silver “M” (4); Record Board (2); Style Show (2) Old ’56 thinks Janie is a man-hater, but Janie says that we’re all wrong; so who are we to argue? A trombone virtu- oso, Janie was an MHS representative to All-State. Also an active member of GAA, she makes snow and skiing synony- mous in her dictionary. It’s Janie’s joi de vivre and friendli- ness that we enjoy most about her. Margaret J. Hibbard Ski Club (1, 2, 3, 4), Secretary (4). Treasurer (4); Ski Team (1, 2. 4); GAA (1, 2, 3, 4). 50 Point Award (1), 100 Point Award (2), 200 Point Award (3); Band (1, 2. 3. 4). All-State Band (4); Masque (2. 3, 4); Pro-Merito (4); Office Staff 2); Silver “M” (4); Record Board (2. 4), Freshman Reception Music Committee Chairman (4); Class Secretary (2) Don’t panic. Line forms at right! Here comes our calm, cool, and collected Peggy—sometimes called Puggy—who, as usual, has just the right clothes for just the occasion. Head tooter in the clarinet section and an active member of the GAA and Masque, she is also one of those fanatics who gaze pensively at mountains and long for snow. Washington, D.C. Jane B. Hamilton

“Jonesie” Nancy C. Jones Style Show (4) Nancy came to us from Rhinebeck, New York, in her junior year where she was active in dramatics, chorus, and basketball. She enjoys especially the tersichorean and culi- nary pursuits (dancing and cooking, as you must know). Jonesie’s jet black hair, pretty blue eyes, and good-looking clothes are the envy of us all. We’ve heard her mention some- thing about wanting to be an air-line stewardess. Merriam K. Knapp Style Show (2) Merriam is a gal of few words, but those few words are always well worth listening to. She was one of our first girl “pilots” and has managed to keep her vehicle on the road ever since. Her pleasant voice, efficiency, and slightly mis- chievous grin (which can broaden into a real Colgate smile) will certainly be appreciated in any office. Karen G. Kriplin Clementine Style Show (4) With jet black hair and snapping eyes, Clem is a veri- table live wire and adds her bit of spice to the spirit of ’56. There’s nothing in the line of work she won’t tackle with boundless energy and still find time for recreation, especially skating. Karen has her sights set on a secretarial career and also plans to visit the British Isles soon. Ban voyage, Karen! Patricia L. Law ‘‘Pat Librarian (3); GAA (1); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2); Masque (2, 3, 41, “The Bat” (3), “Wizard of Oz” (2); Style Show (2. 4) Got a headache? Need a nurse? In a few years Pat will be qualified to give you a pill. Rather quiet (???), Pat has a bubbling personality and is our expert on “How to Present a Skit.” Right, Pat? Her intuition, sense of humor and a kind word for everyone are three things we’ll always re- member about Pat.
