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.

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.

“Beasty” I Marilyn A. Mix GAA (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (1); Class Secretary (1); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls' Glee Club (2, 3, 4). Mixed Chorus (3, 4), All-State Chorus (4); Pro Merito (4); Silver M” (3); Solonscope (1, 2. 3, 4); Record Board (2, 3, 4); Chairman Junior Prom Decorations Commit- tee (3) Bing, pop, sparkle! Marilyn’s around. Whether she’s cheerleading or “just around,” her personality is always evi- dent. The more serious side of her nature displays itself in her liking for mechanical drawing and in playing a mean piano. A sports enthusiast, “Beasty” swims, skis, and spectates. Pretty eyes, a varied wardrobe, and that frequent “No kidding!” are all part of the picture, too. Elliot A. Morse Friendly, quiet, and always ready with a smile—that’s our boy, Elliot. His hobbies include—you’d never guess!— woodworking and tinkering on cars and motorcycles. Elliot plans to be a “Farmer Brown” after he graduates in June, but just for the summer. In spite of the fact that this fellow would like to spend his winters in Florida, Alaska holds a certain fascination for him. That middle initial, however, stands for Aiken, so perhaps Washington, D.C., is where we’ll be hearing from him. Kent C. Morse Pro-Merito (3) Otherwise known as Will Rogers II, this hippy lad’s greatest ambition is to learn to fly—airplane:, of course! For the present, he is often seen in a black and white Ford crammed full of BOYS. Because he’s so pleasantly argumen- tative, we think he would have been an asset to the Debating Team; but they found out about him too late. On our blue prints of the future we see Kent in the Air Force as an avia- tion cadet. From then on in, he’ll be flying high. Barbara G. Muzzy “Barb” Style Show (2) Feeling sad, depressed, neurotic? Then listen to Barb play an Irish jig on her accordion and your worries will melt away. Besides being an accomplished musician, she manages to find time to sew, dance, type, and have fun. Barb is never without a touch of gaiety, and her lively interest in people has won her many friends. It appears she has an equally lively interest in an alumnus of ’55. Even though averse to letterwriting, she always manages to keep the post office busy.
