Bradley M. Lawrence ‘‘Brad’' Ski Club (1, 2, 3, 4), Ski Team (1, 2, 3), Letter (2); Junior Prom Program Chairman (3); Projectionist (1, 2, 3); Pro-Merito (4) Although we won’t assert that punctuality is Brad’s middle name, we do agree that achievement and Brad are synonymous. Thus far he has distinguished himself in church work by becoming president of the Troy Methodist Con- ference. Brad is happily argumentative and his unantici- pated witticisms have flipped many a dreary situation sunny- side-up. Whatever the nebulous future may hold for Brad, we’re sure he’ll be equal to the challenge. Katherine I. Lowell “Kathy” Amiable and amicable Kathy is the kind of gal we like to have around. Calm, collected, and congenial, she possesses those rather rare virtues of being a good listener and an in- teresting conversationalist. Always quiet? Nope! See that ring on her fourth finger? That goes to prove that she always gets things “Don.” Jeanine I. Mathewson “Jim” GAA (1, 2, 3, 4); Masque (2. 3, 4). Pin 14). “She Stoops to Conquer” (4); Pro-Merito (3); Office Staff (3. 4); Silver M” (4); Solonscope (3, 4); Record Board (3, 4), Business Manager (4); Junior Prom Pro- gram Committee Chairman (3); Girls State (3) Jeanine is very active on the Solonscope, Record Board, and Masque. There isn’t a committee organized around school that doesn’t want Jeanine either as a member or, better still, a chairman. Although Jeanine may seem to be rather reserved at times, she never fails to join the “gang” whenever there’s work to be done or fun to be had. She’s a wonderful gal who deserves lots of success. Peter C. Maunsell “Wedge” Football J.V. (1, 2), Varsity (4); Basketball J.V. (1, 2); Solonscope (1) Ah ha! Another football player! And how about those many hours of serious studying? Well, anyhow . . . this lithe, extroverted, devil-may-care guy with the distinctive crew cut and the flashing eyes really gets around. A natural tease, Pete’s never without that trusty wisecrack and always adds spice to any party. Our friend, “The Wedge,” aspires to be a multi-millionaire—and before you know it, he probably will be, too.

“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.

Richard M. Maxhain “Dick Projectionist (1, 2, 3) Dick is one of the few radio hams in MHS who has his amateur’s license. Although he’d never tell you, he is one of the more talented ’56ers. Dick is a virtuoso on the accor- dion, a whiz in electronics—and, girls, he raises mink coats! He’s full of surprises—for example, we never know which car he’ll be late to school in. Affable and ambitious, Dick is one whose career we’ll watch with interest and curiosity. Peter C. McGibney Football J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (2, 3, 4), Letter (2); Basketball J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (2, 3, 4), Letter (2), Captain (3); Class President (1); Pro-Merito (3); Office Staff (3); Silver “M” (3); Student Council (2, 3, 4), Vice-President (3), President (4); Boys State (3) Pete, voted the best-looking and most popular boy, al- ways has everything under control. As president of student council, he has sparked many of the council’s projects pro- moting school activities as well as school spirit. Pete is re- cognized as one of Vermont’s best football and basketball players—two sports in which his calmness and good sports- manship have paid off. We’ll always remember his subtle humor, tact, and sin- cere friendliness. And we’ll never forget those jazzy shirts. “Mouse” Football J.V. (1, 2), Varsity (2. 3. 4), Letter (2); Basketball J.V. (1, 2), Varsity (2, 3, 4), Letter (2); Baseball Varsity (1, 2. 3. 4), Letter (1); Athletic Association Chairman (3); Student Council (3. 4) Mouse is the sportscaster’s pronunciation Waterloo, but when we hear “Maleetees is in there!” we know the scores are being rolled up. Steve is the sharpy who preferred to spend his senior year with his “buddies” although his family moved away. Could his middle initial stand for the circles he runs around his opponents in sports? A hard worker with a lot of spirit, Steve has been an active member of the Student Council and served as chair- man of the Athletic Association. Cynthia Merrill “Cynie Masque (2. 3, 4); Record Board (2, 3, 4); Solonscope (2, 3, 4); Fresh- man Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (2, 3, 4); GAA (1. 2. 3 4); Ski Club (2); Silver ‘M (4); Pro-Merito (4) Cynthia is the gal who loves parties and good times. Whenever someone tells a good joke we like to watch Cynie laugh so that we can kid her about her cute dimples. But all kidding aside, Cynie really can be serious when the occasion calls for dignity. We’re sure that her nurse’s training will include a few handsome young interns.
