Montpelier High School - Record Yearbook (Montpelier, VT)

Text from Pages 1 - 116 of the 1957 volume:

MR. STANLEY K. BOND To express our gratitude for his kindness, support, and encour- agement as a member of the faculty and as chairman of the sen- ior class advisers, we dedicate the 1957 RECORD to Mr. Bond. Prologue W AY down in the middle of the ocean there is a wonderland of fish, mammals, and plants. Within this underwater fantasy we discover a large school called Montpelier High. This school of fish has the unique reputa- tion of turning out the best athletic teams, the most widely circulated paper, the most successful plays, the best trained music groups, and the biggest and best yearbook in the Atlantic Ocean. While the seasons move round and round, the whales—seniors, the little fish—underclassmen, and the walruses—faculty, happily devote their time to studying, to teaching, and to enjoying the relaxation of extra-curricular activities. In mid April all the student fish and mammals were dismissed for their spring vacation. A few remained, however, to complete writing the 1957 RECORD in order that all of this year's happenings in the piscatorial world could be cherished for years to come. Miss Seal, the faculty adviser, and Crabby, the editor, spent the week swimming about MHS. Other ad- ditions to this merry twosome were Sharky (Linda) Davis, Goldy (Mar- lene) Bryant, and Octopus (Barbara) Lord, who pecked away at her type- writer. At the completion of the week senior write-ups were floated off to the printer; then began the chores of taking group pictures, organizing the remainder of the material for the printers, and last but not least dis- tributing the 1957 RECORD to each and every one of you. This job may seem like work to you, but it really was great fun—you should try it some- time! AND NOW WE PERMIT ALL YOU LITTLE FISHES, WHALES, AND WALRUSES TO OPEN THIS YEAR’S EDITION OF THE RECORD. WE HOPE YOU LIKE IT! Table of Contents The Seniors.................................................... Page 7 Class Log .....................................................

(2); Ski Team Varsity (1, 3); Masque (1, 2, 3), Pin (2), “The Bat” (1), “The Wizard of Oz” (1), “The Lottery” (2); Freshman Chorus (1). Boys’ Chorus (2, 3), Mixed Chorus (2, 3), Chorus Librarian (3), “Fortune Teller” (2); Pro-Merito (4); Silver “M” (4); Record Board (3, 4), Business Manager (4); Junior Prom Co-Chairman (3). Track and Tally-ho! Our able senior class president is a terrific skier as well as an avid horseman. Bill’s infectious laugh and friendly nature have enabled him to be popular anywhere. An energetic senior, Bill sings tenor, sells candy, and handles the confusing business details for the RECORD; yet he always finds time to enjoy life. Nancy M. Fielder “Nan'’ Class Vice-President (4); F. H. A. (4); Masque (3, 4); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (3, 4), Pendant (4), All-State Chorus (4); Chorus Wardrobe Mistress (4), Assistant Wardrobe Mistress (3), “Smoky Mountain” (4); Pro-Merito (4); Rec- ord Board (3, 4); Junior Prom Committee Chairman (3); Style Show (1). Who wants a cookie ? There’s hardly a noon hour when our cute, five-foot blondie isn’t supplying a “dieter” with some food. Nancy has never failed to brighten up our lives with her sparkling personality. We just love the way this good- natured and friendly gal flutters those pretty eyelashes. Barbara A. Beal “Barb'' Class Secretary (4); F. H. A. (4); Solonscope (4); Record Board (4); Style Show (1). Whether learning to skate, making frappes at Seiv- wright’s, or driving the ’55 blue Mercury, our friendly “Southern belle” is always wearing that “Knockout” smile. Barb has worked hard behind scenes for both Solonscope and RECORD and is noted for her dependability and helpfulness. Why, we even consider Barb a Vermonter now I Robert E. Blanchard “Bob” Class Treasurer (4); Football J. V. (1), Varsity (2, 3. 4); Letter (2). Captain (4); Baseball J. V. (1, 2), Basketball J. V. (1. 2); Debating Club (4), Varsity (4); “Parting at Imsdorf” (3); Solonscope (4); Record Board (4). Here’s a nice guy who’s one of the most friendly people in the senior class. Dark crew-cut, dark eyes, and a jolly smile are his trademarks. Bob is quite a ham—at radio operating—so we hear! If you ask us, Bob’s biggest interests are Females and Football. We wish lots of luck to a “most happy fella”. “Bill'1 William B. Adams Ski Club (1, 2, 3), Ski Team J. V. (1.2, 3, 4). Varsity (2, 3, 4), Captain (3, 4); Track J. V. (2); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4); Band (1, 2, 3, 4), All-State Band (4); Silver “M (3); Student Council (3. 4), Chairman of Ath- letic Association (4) Solonscope (1); Freshman Reception Committee Chairman (4); Junior Prom Committee Chairman (3); Boys State (4). Just give Bill two logs, a pair of sticks, a little snow, and off he goes. Besides “going ape” on the ski trail, Bill cuts quite a figure on the dance floor and behind his drum ensemble. Might say this guy’s talented! For the past two years Bill has been one of the most active members on Student Council. What is in store for this senior? He’s heading west to some big city called Burl---. Thomas J. Amidon c‘Tom Football J. V. (1, 2, 3), Varsity (4). Letter (4); Baseball J. V. (1); Ski Club (1, 2. 3, 4), Ski Team Varsity (1, 2, 3, 4), Letter (1, 2, 3, 4), Captain (3); Track Varsity (3 4); Class President (1); Pro-Merito (4); Silver “M” (4); Solonscope (1, 2, 3); Ticket Squad (1, 2, 3); Freshman Reception Committee Chairman (4); Junior Prom Com- mittee Chairman (3); Boys State (3). A whiz in French, Tom has also excelled in other sub- jects at MHS—Latin, English and physical education, to mention a few. When the snow begins to fall, so does Tom—on a pair of skis, that is! Seriously though, this ski bum has won many firsts in slalom events while attending various ski meets. Also, we’ll never forget Tom’s agility on the football field. With his smile and sense of humor, he should go far. Jon K. Anderson “Speedy' Ski Club (1, 2, 3), Ski Team Varsity (1, 2, 3), Letter (1, 2); Foot- ball Assistant Manager (2, 3); Band (1, 2, 3, 4). Jon is an out-of-doors man who hunts, fishes, and skis. Well-known for his amiable nature, Jon does take advantage of a chance to blow his top in band—on the baritone. Every once in a while Jon does something that surprises people, including us. Tell us again, Jon, what is your interpretation of Wordsworth’s “My Heart Leaps Up’’???? Clifton B. Bailey “Cliff” Football J. V. (2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3), Captain (4); Baseball J. V. (1), Varsity (2, 3, 4), Letter (2); Pro-Merito (4). Vanity will get you nowhere—isn’t that right, Cliff? This modest fellow has distinguished himself in the field of sports and the art of making friends. Cliff’s smile is enough to make all the girls fall for him, but he just walks on and never stops to even help them up. To a good friend and a great guy we wish the best of every- thing. George G. Baker Football J. V. (1); Track J. V. (3); Masque (4); Freshman Chorus (1), Roys’ Chorus (2, 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (2, 3. 4), All-State Chorus (4), Chorus Librarian (4), “Smoky Mountain” (4); Pro-Merito (4); Ticket Squad (1, 2, 3). Got a question on your mind? Just ask George; he’ll know the answer—and the right one, too. Our Eagle Scout is a fellow with many abilities: a fine baritone voice, a scien- tific mind, and a keen interest in nature. Forever jocular, George is one fellow worth keeping our eyes on. “Rosie v Librarian (1, 2, 3); Masque (3, 4), Pin (4), “Dear Ruth” (3), “The Little Dog Laughed” (2); Pro-Merito (4); Office Staff (4); Silver M” (4); Record Board (3, 4), Treasurer (4); Junior Prom Commit- tee Chairman (3). What pretty eyes, nice smile, and lovely curly hair our Rosie has! This even-tempered and likable gal adds to any gathering. We love to hear her pronounce precisely, “How now, brown cow?”. It’s a nurse’s cap that Rosie hopes to wear someday. We’re sure she’ll be a very competent angel of mercy. Reginald L. Barton A black Buick whizzes into view; the driver, a dark, good-looking fellow, flashes a smile; and the girls, with a cute blond taking the lead, race to the car. Who’s the dash- ing driver? You guessed it—Reggie. If you want to know anything—just anything—about hunting or fishing, he’s the fellow to ask. We also hear he has a yearning for good home cooking. Well, someone has to fry those trout and broil those venison steaks. Lois A. Batten Masque (1); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2); Office Staff (4); Solonscope (1, 2); Record Board (3, 4); Style Show (1). Here’s our country gal with an unforgettable charm! Miss Bright Eyes, with the curly hair and the smile, has an uncontrollable giggle. Next year Lois hopes to be studying to be a beautician. We’ll be glad to give her a recommend anytime. Just ask us, Lorrie. � f Rosalyn M. Baldwin “Connie” Conrad I). Belanger Class Treasurer (1). Hurry, hurry, hurry—step right up! Connie is forever dashing about as Miss Ketelle’s right-hand man, as an ambitious worker at Nelsons' or just looking for Ginny. He handles that red Ford, which is always ailing, with a seem- ingly magic touch. His friendly smile and good looks are a combination for which his entire family is noted. Nancy J. Belanger G. A. A. (1, 2); Class Vice-President (1); F. H. A. (4), Reporter (4); Masque (1); Freshman Chorus (1); Band (1, 2, 3, 4); Solonscope (4); Record Board (4); Freshman Reception Committee Chairman (4); Style Show (2). Here's a girl who loves to have a good time! Voted class clown by her classmates, Nancy can make a person laugh by just winking at him—or her. And you should see her twirl those batons! Nancy’s attractive smile and keen wit have made her fun to be with and one of our favorite people. Renfield T. Belanger “Ren” Oh, that calypso beat. Ren, a really hard-working senior, finds ideal relaxation while listening to Harry Belafonte. This one of “the three who tends to shy away from the opposite sex, is a fast talker (with frequent humorous asides), a neat dresser, and a true friend. Some girl will be mighty lucky one of these days! Peter A. Benedini “Pete” Basketball J. V. (1, 2); Baseball J. V. (1), Varsity (2, 4), Letter (2); Ticket Squad (1, 2). Pete and casual attire (dungarees) have become prac- tically synonymous to MHSers; but my when he’s dressed up .... ! Usually even-tempered with a pleasant “Hello there! , Pete is one fellow to watch out for when he’s really angry. He’s definitely not the shy type when it comes to three-minute oral topics; World War II is his favorite for talking on and on and on. Pete’s full of surprises. He amazed us by first chugging past in his ancient black relic, and then cruising by again in that gorgeous green limousine. What next? Sally L. Bernardini Cheerleading J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Captain (4); Class Secre- tary (1); Masque (4); Office Staff (2, 3, 4); Student Council (4); Girls State (3); Style Show (1, 3); G. A. A. (1, 2, 3). Clothes, clothes, and more clothes! This is the young lady with lots of poise who sets the pace style-wise at MHS As our head cheerleader, Sal has plenty to “yell” about —and so do we! Bob ought to get in on this act, too; for the course of true love certainly has run long and smoothly. Nancy A. Blaisdell “Nan' G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), Secretary (2), 50 Point Award (2), 100 Point Award (3), 200 Point Award (4); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), “Little Dog Laughed” (2), “Smoky Mountain” (4); Cheerleading J. V. (2), Var- sity (3, 4), Solonscope (2, 3, 4); Freshman Chorus (1); Record (4); Class Secretary (3), Junior Prom Committee Chairman (3). “V-I-C-T-O-R-Y” — Isn’t that right, Nan? Here’s another one of our pretty cheerleaders who can really “holler the score up.” Have you ever noticed her dark, shiny hair, her blue eyes, and her mischievous grin ? We know wrhat Nancy is dreaming about when she gazes out the window on a sunny day—a trip in her car to a good fishing spot with a collie chum and a box of paints for company. Sounds good, huh, Nancy ? Best of luck and it’s been fun knowing you! June R. Bruce Salutatorian (4); Freshman Chorus (1); Pro-Merito (4); Style Show (2). If you want to find June's name, just look on the honor roll. If you want to find June, look for a diminutive, blue- eyed gal in the midst of a group of seniors waiting in the hall for classes to start. Some underclassmen, we understand, think this Worcesterite is the quiet type; but we seniors know how much her smile and her laugh have added to our fun—in class and out. We’re sure she’ll have little trouble in conquering the wide, wide world, and her boss’ heart as well. Stuart R. Bryan, Jr. “Stuv Football J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4) ; Baseball J. V. (1); Track Var- sity (3, 4), Letter (3, 4); Ticket Squad (1, 2). Rumor has it that Stu loves to shoot cats, crush cater- pillars, and throw rocks at worms; unfortunately—or for- tunately!—no one has ever seen him commit these misdeeds in order to report him to the S. P. C. A. Where is Stu on a sunny Saturday ? Out in the woods enjoying the beauties of nature, of course. Our good-looking senior with a dashing smile has been a great asset to the football and track teams. Marlene I). Bryant G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (2), 100 Point Award f3), 200 Point Award (4); Masque (1, 2, 3), The Lottery (2); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3); Pro-Merito (3); Solonscope (2. 3); Record Board (4); Freshman Reception Committee Chairman (4). A tall, graceful girl with a quiet personality, Marlene uses efficiency and friendliness to get things done. (Now you know the secret of success.) Besides being an outstanding gal scholastically, she’s also quite the champ in athletics. Know what? Marlene plans to be a psychologist. Cer- tainly her poise and congeniality will be appreciated by all who know her. David O. Cary “Dave” Where Calvin is, you can usually find Dave. He’s a hap- py-go-lucky guy who can keep any class lively. As the great outdoorsman, he hunts and fishes and fishes and hunts and hunts and fishes. Out of season his main hobby is cars, and we hear he’s quite a mechanic! Want to see him blush? Just ask him about those Waterbury girls. Well, Dave? Elsa Chapin Class Vice-President (2); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), Treasurer (4); Fresh- man Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (2, 3, 4), All-State Chorus (4); Chorus Assistant Business Manager (3); Pro- Merito (4); Record Board (3, 4); Girls State (3). She dances, she sings, she designs clothes, she’s a con- noisseur of the unusual, she’s unique, and well—she’s Elsa! Needless to say she swept the field and took all honors as the most talented member of the Class of ’57. If you want to go in six directions at once, try to keep track of Elsa. We certainly wish her the best of luck to match her abil- ity. Faye S. Coffin G. A. A. (1); Librarian (2, 3); Freshman Chorus (1); Style Show (2). “When you’re smiling, the whole world smiles with you . . .” is, we believe, Faye’s theme song because she sings and lives it so beautifully. Friendliness, sedulousness (ask Faye what that means), and intelligence are only a few of her qualities. Miss Hallgren would, we think, recommend her as an excellent “girl Friday.” “Bili” William A. Coons Man, what a cool haircut! Actually, Bill’s second cousin is a porcupine. Never at a loss for jokes and wise cracks, Bill amuses everyone with his witty remarks. A senior transfer from Poughkeepsie, Bill became “one of the boys” the moment he blew in the door. Should we say something nice about him? Nope—he would just laugh at us. Judy A. Corskie G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (1); Masque (1, 2); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3), Mixed Chorus (3); Style Show (1). “Hey, Judy! Do you want my sandwich?” The reply is always “Yes!” Aside from being fond of food, Judy wields a terrific sense of humor that can keep any and all groups in stitches. (We’ve even seen the faculty smile once in a while!) Someday an artist will paint her eating a double-decker- strawberry-pistachio ice-cream cone and playing ring-toss with her halo. We don’t know where the future will find her, but we’re certain she won’t be caught in a library. Earlene A. Dailey Earlene, a Worcesterite who is very active in youth fel- lowship groups, has attained high grades in her school work and ranks among the leaders of our class. One of the nicest gals of ’57 and truly a paragon of senior poise, Earlene will undoubtedly go to the top as a lawyer’s girl-Friday. Her sin- cere smile and willingness to help make her much sought after among the seniors as well as the underclassmen. “Bill” Football J. V. (2, 3); Track J. V. (3); Masque (4), Pin (4), “Curious Savage” (4), “Sorry, Wrong Number” (4); Freshman Chorus (1). Boys’ Glee Club (2, 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (2, 3, 4), Pendant (4); All- State Chorus (4); Chorus Business Manager (4); Band (1, 2, 3, 4); Orchestra (4); “Smoky Mountain” (4); Solonscope (4); Record Board (4). Wherever there’s good food and jazz, you can locate Bill. Don’t let our future business man deceive you by a quiet exterior. Always ready to laugh at a good joke or witty remark, Bill could correctly be called ’57’s “Happy Whistler.” Both the percussion section of our band and the tenor section of the MHS chorus will sadly miss this pleasant chap’s support. James E. Davis “Jim” With a sense of humor and a twinkle in his eye, Jim at- tracts attention from all sides of the room. Some people think he is a misogynist, but we’ve seen him courting several girls. Although Jim doesn’t mind coming to school, we’ve heard him mutter something about a petition for more and longer vacations. Some people thing that his last name should be Stewart—or haven’t you noticed the resemblance? Linda S. Davis G. A. A. (1, 2); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), The Curious Savage” (4), Sorry, Wrong Number” (4); Band (1, 2, 3); Silver M” (4); Student Council (2,3); Solonscope (2,3,4), Assistant Editor (3); Record Board (3,4). Contrary to the general consensus of opinion, Linda spends very little of her time engaged in conversation; in- stead the majority of her spare hours are passed in writing for the Solonscope and Record. Brimming over with ideas and suggestions, Linda has shown unusual journalistic abil- ity and originality. We appreciate her competent leadership and all the important contributions she has made to the class of ’57. David F. Day “Dave” Football J. V. (1), Varsity (2, 3, 4). Letter (2, 3, 4); Baseball Man- ager (2). Next in our ’57 line-up we find Dave, a likable Worces- terite with a ready smile and a frequent laugh. If a fire ever threatens you, this is the man to call—our Student Gov- ernment Day fireman. Of course, if there’s some tackling to be done, remember that he was also chosen as first team All-State center. Dependability mixed with congeniality make Dave a nice guy to have around. Eugene B. DeRosie “Gene” Although Gene is usually seen with Jim and the boys, this genial senior is, by no means, entirely averse to girls. Those initials could easily stand for “Earnest Rut Diffident”! What about the future? Well, Gene yearns to see the world—at Uncle Sam’s expense. U I V Jan Janet L. Dopp Freshman Chorus (1). Ever gone to a chicken pie supper in Riverton? If you have, you’ve probably seen Janet busily helping to prepare and serve a delicious meal. Besides indulging in such culinary pursuits, she also loves square dancing and looking after youngsters. Her friendly smile and her genuine interest in all of us have made her many friends during her four years at MHS. Have fun, Janet! “Bob Football J. V. (1); Baseball J. V. (1, 2); Ski Club (1, 2, 3). Ski Team J. V. (1, 3), Varsity (2), Letter (2); Baseball Manager (4); Assistant Football Manager (3); Assistant Baseball Manager (3), Baseball Manager (4); Projectionist (1, 2, 3); Solonscope (3, 4); Record Board (3, 4). You could recognize Bob a mile away by his laugh! But don’t let his constant roar fool you; sometimes he’s as serious as serious can be. Ever noticed Bob’s clothes? He goes all out for western styles, for he rides a Palamino. We hear that he’s no drug store cowboy but a mighty fine rider, too! Bob has been a tremendous worker on the Solonscope and RECORD, and we are certain that we won’t have to worry about his making his way in the world. Floyde C. Fitch, Jr. Projectionist (2, 3, 4); Ticket Squad (3, 4). Rather quiet in a large crowd, Bubba prefers to be among his own friends. At home he keeps busy running the mail route, working on his family’s farm, and skiing during his spare time. Very friendly and amiable, he worries little about material things and takes life as it is. Right now, Floyde’s future is a little hazy, but we ex- pect that the clouds will disappear by graduation time. “Dick Football J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (2, 3); Baseball Varsity (2), Letter (2). Dick is usually seen with his two cohorts, Bob Jensen and Cal Potter. He’s a friendly, easy-going, affable fellow, but he seems so shy toward the girls. As an asset to our foot- ball team, Dick did an outstanding job of helping us to win the State Championship this year. If you want to make “a hit” with Dick, just ask him to flex his muscles for you; but, we’re warning you, STAND BACK! H. Joseph Follett “Joie Ski Team Varsity J. V. (1), Varsity (2, 3); Baseball Manager (1); Freshman Chorus (1), Boys’ Chorus (2), Mixed Chorus (2); “The Fortune Teller” (1); Projectionist (1, 2, 3); Ticket Squad (1, 2, 3). A butch haircut, a friendly smile, and a real cool pair of orange slacks seem to describe Joe. Oh, we forgot to men- tion that lovely green convertible! Perhaps you think all this adds up to the perfect ladies’ man? Well, he does seem to have a way with the girls, but we notice that he’s usually talking with the fellows while the gals are trying to break the sound barrier. You have to be on the qui vive to keep up with Joie. Wayne L. Foster Band (2, 3, 4), All-State Band (4); Pro-Merito (4); Solonscope (4). During the last four years Wayne has often been seen studying math, blowing his trombone, answering difficult questions correctly, or dealing out the cards in Room 2 dur- ing the noon hour. Mix a subtle sense of humor with intelli- gence and wit, and you’re bound to come up with Wayne! Keep your eyes on this boy—he’s going places. Donald C. Gauthier “Don” Remember when Don used to blush and cringe every time a girl came within ten feet of him? Those days are no more—now he’s the center of their attentions. And we no- tice that he doesn’t seem to mind them, either. We haven’t heard him say much about the future, but probably it will be something mathematical, scientific, or even historical. Robert J. Glass “Bob1’ Class Valedictorian (4); Pro-Merito (4); Ticket Squad (2); Boys State (4). Take a good look at this fellow because you’ll be seeing more of him in the future. Here’s a confidential tip—we think we may have another Einstein. Of course he just laughs at us. He’s too busy keeping that straight A average to be bothered with such speculations; so he works and we speculate. Because Bob is so reserved, he’ll probably never tell us whether he’s sending his luggage to Yale or M. I. T. next fall. Noel L. Gomez Football Varsity (4), Letter (4). A shy and rather modest member of our class, Noel is often seen taking long strides to and from school. It’s no secret that he’d rather be out on the fifty yard line than in study hall doing math problems. However, you can be sure he’ll make the best of any situation. What’s next for this popular guy? Marine Corps, of course! He’ll make some one a good top sergeant. Pablo I). Gomez “Pab” Football J. V. (2), Varsity (3, 4). Letter (3, 4), Captain (4); Basket- ball J. V. (2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3, 4); Class treasurer (2); Pro- Merito (4); Projectionist (2); Silver “M” (4); Junior Prom Invitations Committee Chairman (3); Boys State (3). Tall, dark, and handsome, Pab is any football coach’s or school girl’s dream. Anyone would be envious of his many honors—his scholastic achievements, his being chosen Boys State representative, and his term as student City Manager. How will he use his talents in the future? He’ll be a top engineer, we think. David J. Goodall “Dave” Basketball Varsity (4), Letter (4); Baseball J. V. (1. 2). It’s impossible to name a sport that Dave doesn’t enjoy. This year he has been one of the wheels on “Brown’s Bug- gy”; and before that he was a baseball star. Outside of school this husky fellow loves to dance and, according to the grape- vine, is quite a card shark. Some people say that he is a gour- mand and others assert he is a gourmet—well, anyway, Dave just loves to eat! Francis R. Herring One of the hunters in our midst, Francis loves to take trips to Montreal and other far-away places. Always game for fun and excitement, even Francis’ name means “free”. For some strange reason, as soon as Francis leaves at 3:26 his smile becomes at least an inch broader. He’s never told us, but we think his motto must be—“We have but one life so let’s live and let live”. “Meme” Muriel A. Hill G.A.A. (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (2), 100 Point Award (3), 200 Point Award (4); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), Pin (4), Letter (4), Assistant Business Manager (3), Business Manager (4), “Curious Savage” (4), “Dear Ruth” (3), Variety Show (4), “Sorry, Wrong Number” (4), “She Stoops to Conquer” (3); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3); Solonscope (1, 2, 3, 4); Freshman Reception Committee Chair- man (4); Junior Prom Committee Chairman (3); Style Show (1). This little lass’ idea of an enjoyable life would include skating, and bowling a little, smiling and dating A LOT. (We might mention Norwich, just in passing.), helping Masque and Solonscope along, studying a little more than enough, and swooning over an idol such as Elvis. Meme’s twinkling eyes prove that she loves fun, even if it involves a dash of deviltry. Perhaps that’s why we all love Meme! Clayton C. Holmes “Clayt” A chauffeur deluxe—that’s Clayton! His quiet amicabil- ity creates an air of mysteriousness which many girls pon- der over as he rolls into the MHS parking lot in a ’54 blue Ford. Never say die, girls! This is one person who’s looking for a—SUCCESSFUL FUTURE. One of you might qualify. William H. Huttenlock ‘Bill' Football Varsity (2, 3), Letter (2, 3), Co-Captain (3); Basketball J. V. (1, 2); Baseball Varsity (2, 3), Letter (2); Class Secretary- Treasurer (1); Band (1, 2); Record Board (4). Silence is golden. This is what we said about Bill when he first arrived at MHS—but now! Though not loud nor bossy, Bill is no longer so reserved since he has become established here. In fact, we find it rather hard to keep up with him. Active in his church youth group, Bill has a logical mind and a keen understanding of people. We might also add that he’s found a very understanding person, too. Harry A. Jay When you think of planes, what senior do you associate with these ships of the air? Who else but Harry Jay! Never still for more than two minutes, Harry is constantly running about in an official and decisive manner. His free time is de- voted to the Air National Guard and combing Camels Hump looking for more material concerning planes. There’s very little doubt where Harry’s trail into the future leads. Here’s to blue skies and happy landings! “Bart” Barton G. Jeffrey Basketball J. V. (1, 2), Varsity 3, 4), Letter (4), Captain (4); Base- ball Varsity (2); Silver “M” (4); Student Council (1, 2. 3, 4); Solon- scope (3, 4); Ticket Squad (1). Shying away from the girls, Bart becomes an even more handsome catch for some lucky gal, but we hear that Marty is trying to lead him along the right path. Bart’s good looks are only one of his attributes—he’s also a terriffic athlete. No tyro on the basketball court and baseball diamond, Bart remains the same even-tempered light-hearted fellow. Besides being active in sports, Bart has also been a member of the Student Council for four years. With the “dough” which he makes at the local bakery, Bart enthusiastically buys all the latest pop records. What a collection this boy has! Martha J. Jeffrey “Marty” £ A;, A (2 3’ 4); F- H- A- Masque (2, 3, 4); Pin (3), “Dear Ruth (3), “She Stoops to Conquer” (3), “Sorry, Wrong Number” (4); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (3, 4), Pendant (4), Secretary of Chorus (4). All-State Chorus; Pro- Merito (4); Solonscope (3, 4); Record Board (3, 4); Freshman Reception Decorations Committee Chairman (4). Marty is a very talented member of our class who has excelled in acting, dancing, and drawing. A hard worker and an excellent leader, Marty has a bubbling personality which has enabled her to become acquainted with everyone from East Podunk to Kalamazoo. Here’s to a gal who deserves the very best! Robert W. Jensen “Bob” A likable person, Bob is positive proof that still waters run deep. He is perfectly happy to spend a Sunday afternoon hunting or fishing. If you’ve never seen an enigmatic smile, just ask Bob about his favorite sports. We’ve heard that he really shines in athletics, but it’s our misfortune never to have seen him in action for MHS. Raymond A. Jewett “Ray” Classes would have been mighty dull these past years if Ray’s devilish grin and remarks hadn’t been there to liven things up now and then. He’s an outdoor enthusiast who loves to relate his exciting experiences. Inquire about the Beaver Dam episode this past summer, and you will see his face become the color of those things for which Maine is famous. The business world and Air Force beckon our tall, good- natured classmate. Corinne L. Kelley “Corky” F. H. A. (4), Historian (4); Masque (2, 3, 4); Record Board (3, 4); Freshman Reception Decorations Committee Chairman (4); Style Show (1, 3). Are you looking for fun? Well, stop looking when you find Corrine, for you can always depend on her for a good time. Gay personality, trim figure, sparkling eyes, and a blond pony tail all belong to Corky. At the award assembly this spring we lost count of the number of art prizes Corky collected Good luck to you in the future, Corrine; and when you’re famous, just send us one or two signed originals, so we can say we knew you when--------. S. Lynda Kittle “Lyn” G. A. A. (2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (2), 100 Point Award (3), Business Manager (3); Class Vice-President (3); Masque (2. 3, 4), “Curious Savage” (4); Girls’ Glee Club (2), Band (3, 4); Pro-Merito (4); Office Staff (4); Record Board (4). Petite and lively, our smallest cherub is always full of fun and mischief. Lynda is a great little twirler with a high- stepping stride and lots of spirit. This cute pixie is our answer to how to be most popular and best looking. Before she came to us, she had been a student at Stowe High School. Is that where you learned that skiing technique, Lyn? Gene S. Kreis Freshman Chorus (1); Pro-Merito (4); Solonscope (4), Business Manager (4). When you first meet Gene you might get the impression that he is very quiet and reserved, but when you get to know him better—WOW! Besides being conscientious in his studies, he has done a wonderful job of handling all the monetary matters for the Solonscope. An up-and-coming commercial student, Gene has al- ready begun his career on a part-time basis. When he takes over on full time, we’re sure he’ll go far and continue to make friends wherever he is. Benjamin E. Lamb “Ben” Pro-Merito (4); Solonscope (4); Record Board (4); Boys State. Here’s our vote for the second Mr. Aiken! The girls don’t worry too much about not understanding all those scientific terms, for Ben knows them all. But don’t think this mathe- matician and electronics man is all work and no fun; for he has a terrific sense of humor which adds some spice to everyday work. Man, dig those crazy shirts! We have a feeling you’ll go places, Ben, and we’ll be watching the headlines. “Jack” John C. LeBourveau Football J. V. (1, 3); Baseball J. V. (1); Track J. V. (3); Freshman Chorus (1). Never a minute to spare for Jack works after school, drives about in his black coupe, and entertains us at parties by strumming on his guitar. A very polite and cordial fellow, Jack has a pleasant hello for everyone. Need anything? Ask Jack; he’s a very generous fellow. Morris E. Leno Football J. V. (1, 2); Basketball (2); Pro-Merito (4). Hey, slow down, Morris! You’re talking so fast we can’t keep up with you. We’ll have to admit his enthusiasm cer- tainly is contagious. Usually we see him standing in the halls with his hands on his hips and his head slightly tilted as though he were listening in on the underground. His sincerity and good manners attract many friends. John E. Leonard “Johnnie” Happy-go-lucky John is another member of our class who hails from Calais. He transferred from Spaulding dur- ing his junior year and wasn’t long in making many friends. Tall, good-natured, and friendly, he is usually seen with a group of boys—and girls! Just ask Johnnie for a phone num- ber; he has them all. Whatever your plans are, John, we wish you the best of luck. Arlene I. Martin G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), President (4). 50 Point Award (2), 100 Point Award (3), 200 Point Award (4); Debating Club (3); Librarian (3); Masque (2, 3, 4), “Curious Savage’' (4); Freshman Chorus (1); Band (1. 2, 3, 4), All-State Band (4); Orchestra (4); “Smoky Mountain” (4); Pro-Merito (4). A wonderful gal with a great love for MHS, Arlene is an ardent Masquer, a first clarinetist in band, and president of G. A. A. If you want anything done and done right, ask Arlene. Four years from now she hopes to be graduated as a physical education instructor. We understand she’s been getting in some practice this year. Good luck to you, Arlene. Priscilla R. Maxham “Cilia” F. H. A. (4), Reporter (4); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (2, 3, 4), Pendant (4); All-State Chorus (4); Smoky Mountain” (4); Office Staff (1). Who could ask for a harder worker and a more con- scientious student than Priscilla is? Among many other things, Cilia finds time to attend youth fellowship meetings and conventions and, also, “to sew a fine seam.” Certainly she’ll never be cold with “all that mink” around her! F. James Nuissl “Jim” You can hear Jim coming a mile away! When we hear his heels clicking down the corridors, we look up expectantly to find out the latest news. Although an ardent sportsman and one of the few ’57ers who know how to run a farm, Jim always finds time to stop and chat with us. Wherever he’s going and whoever he’s with, he is the same likable and at- tractive fellow. Keep us posted after graduation, Jim. ((T Jeanme G. A. A. (1, 2); Class Secretary (2); Pro-Merito (4); Solonscope (2, 3, 4), Assistant Business Manager (3); Record Board (4); Junior Prom Music Committee Chairman (3). One of the very few des eleves francaise de la troisieme classe, Jean gets her studying done and still finds time to cruise about town in her blue convertible. A thoughtful and unselfish person, she has been a great asset to the class of ’57. If you wish to know more about Jeannie, ask Dick— “who dreams of Jeannie with the light brown hair.” William A. Parker Ticket Squad (4). Here he—whoops! There he goes—. If you ever see a two-toned green Chevy full of girls go by you three times, you may be certain it’s Bill. A friend to everyone, Bill is a sports fan and a ladies’ man. Besides that entrancing smile, he wears mighty sporty clothes! Joan E. Pecor G.A.A. (1,2,3), 50 Point Award (2); Pro-Merito (4); Style Show (1). What Bart Jeffrey is to boys’ basketball, Joan is to girls’ basketball. Her athletic ability is the envy of the G. A. A. members. A responsible and dependable gal, Joan does, how- ever, love a good time; and when she gets that twinkle in her eye—Watch out! We aren’t quite sure what she plans for the future; but we know she’ll continue to take everything in her stride. Richard P. Perkins “Dick” Basketball Varsity (4), Letter (4); Baseball J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (3), Letter (1, 3); Masque (4), Pin (4), “Curious Savage” (4), Variety Show (4); Freshman Chorus (1), Boys’ Chorus (2, 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (2, 3, 4), Pendant (4), All-State Chorus (4), Smoky Moun- tain” (4); Pro-Merito (4); Office Staff (1, 2); Projectionist (1, 2); Silver “M” (4); Solonscope (1, 2, 3, 4); Ticket Squad (1, 2); Record Board (2, 3); Freshman Reception Committee Chairman (4); Boys State (3); Junior Prom Committee Chairman (3). When you utter the magic formula—song, piano, brains, humor, sports and sermons—who else could appear but Dick. His terrific sports column and realistic acting have made all of us take notice of this tall, blond fellow. Regardless of his varied interests, Dick has been attracted to the latest happenings in the Queen City. Capable of excelling in practically any field, Dick has chosen the field of medicine. Sally H, Pierce “Sal” G. A. A. (1, 2, 3), 50 Point Award (2), 100 Point Award (3), Treas- urer (3); Assembly Committee (3, 4), Chairmanship (4); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), Pin (3), Letter (4), Secretary (4), “The Lottery” (2), “Little Dog Laughed” (2), “Dear Ruth” (3), “She Stoops to Conquer” (3) , “Curious Savage” (4); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (4) , Mixed Chorus (3, 4); All-State Chorus (4); Band (1, 2, 3); Pro- Merito (4); Office Staff (2); Silver “M” (4); Student Council (3, 4); Solonscope (2, 3), Assistant Editor (3); Record Board (X, 3, 4). Assistant Editor (3), Editor (4); Girls State (3). What would we have done without this energetic soul who has so admirably contributed to our class ? Our capable editor, superb actress and assembly organizer, Sally has pitched in to work strenuously and yet has had fun in every activity possible. Sal, you’ll have to try hard not to be successful and happy in the future. Katherine M. Pond “Katie” Ski Team Varsity (1, 2), Ski Club (1); G. A. A. (1, 2, 3), 50 Point Award (2), 100 Point Award (2), 300 Point Award (3), Treasurer (2) , Vice-President (3); Masque (1); Band (1, 2, 3. 4), All-State Band (4); Pro-Merito (3); Silver M” (3); Student Council (1. 2, 3, 4), Assembly Committee (1), Secretary-Treasurer (2), Vice-President (3) , President (4); Solonscope (2, 3, 4), Assistant Editor (3), Editor (4) ; Record Board (2); Freshman Reception Committee Chairman (4); Junior Prom Committee Chairman (3). Katie holds three positions in the Senior Elections—no need to repeat them because just by glancing at her you can tell that she’s a mighty outstanding girl. In her calm and tactful manner Katie has very efficiently guided the Solon- scope and Student Council. Need we say anything else ? Oh, yes—she’s quite a linguist. Richard M. Portelance “Dick” Football J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (3), Letter (4), Captain (4); Basket- ball J. V. (1); Baseball Varsity (1); Chorus (1, 2). Always in good humor, Dick can be a very persistent teaser who loves to get all the girls in a tizzy. Our football ace has an appealing personality and a pleasant appearance. During Dick’s two years at MHS he has put two deer (dear?) out of circulation. One dear is named Jean, but the other deer wishes to remain anonymous. Calvin F. Potter “Cal'' Ticket Squad (1, 2), Treasurer of Athletic Association (3). Not a care in the world! At times Calv is just a little lazy—but then aren’t we all? Some call him “Deer-Slayer” Potter. He really is quite a nimrod, you know. But the best part is to hear him relate his exploits; for that’s when his Vermont humor is at its best. Take it easy, Cal. Michael L. Pressey “Mike Football J. V. (2); Ski Team Varsity (1, 2). Look at him; he has real curly hair. This popular fellow descended upon us from Burlington in our junior year. It didn’t take us long to realize that BHS’s loss was our gain. Mike’s means of transportation is a dogsled. If you don’t be- lieve us, just ask him. At present Mike is a member of the Air Force Reserves and he plans to join the Air Corps after graduation. Barbara J. Ryan “Barb Style Show (1). Barb comes to us from Riverton, and although shy she has many friends. Besides school, her interests include danc- ing, horse-back riding, outdoor sports, and Kenny. With an engagement ring flashing on her finger, Barb is like a ray of sunshine from morning to night. She will be getting married soon after graduation and with her high school training she plans to be a secretary in a doctor’s office. Barbara A. Senter “Barb” F. H. A. (4), President (4); Masque (1, 2); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2); Band (1, 2, 3); Pro-Merito (4). Here’s our friendly classmate with the lovely red hair and engaging smile. Always full of energy, Barb is very active and outstanding in her church organization and in F. H. A. Somehow, she still manages to find time to be a loyal Solon fan. Guess what—This gal wants to be an engineer. More power to you, Barb! Richard J. Shatney “Dick” Basketball J. V. (1); Ticket Squad (2). This fellow, who seems to have an interest in more than one person of the opposite sex, has managed to make many friends both in and out of school. A loyal Solon fan, Dick has been a member of the ticket squad. During hunting season you may find Dick scouting Ponds’ pasture. Marcia C. Smith G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (1), 100 Point Award (2), 200 Point Award (4), 300 Point Award (4); F. H. A. (4); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), “Curious Savage” (4); “Smoky Mountain” (4); Pro- Merito (4); Silver “M” (4); Solonscope (1, 2, 3, 4); Record Board (4). Don’t let those looks fool you; Marcia has brains as well as beauty. Taking everything in her stride, she manages to keep her average on an even keel. Active in all sports (in- cluding skating at Norwich) and in extra-curricular activi- ties, Marcia is also a good worker and competent organizer. We clairvoyants see big things (money, that is) in store for Marcia. Michael A. Spinelli “Mike” Football J. V. (1); Basketball J. V. (1, 2, 3), Varsity (2, 3, 4); Base- ball J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (3); Masque (4), “Curious Savage” (4); Record Board (4); Junior Prom Co-Chairman (3). Obliging, congenial, nonchalant and friendly, Mike is in- deed a wonderful fellow to know. As soon as he arrives, we know the party is a success. Because he’s so modest, we just mention his basketball and tennis ability, his excellent rec- ord collection, his fine performance in Curious Savage, and his having been chosen one of the two best dancers in the Class of ’57. What’s Mike’s favorite college? Why, University of Con- necticut, of course! Arthur A. Sprague “Art” Baseball Varsity (4). Art, our ex-foreigner from Massachusetts, wasn’t long in becoming popular with everyone. At first he was viewed as a free man, but his independence didn’t last long! Too bad we don’t have an ice hockey team—we hear that Art was quite a star back home. Friendly and kind to all, Art loves to tinker with old cars; in fact, he’s quite a mechanic. Carlita M. Stone F. H. A. (4); Style Show (1, 3); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (3), Mixed Chorus (3); Masque (1). How those big, beautiful brown eyes can roll! Where there’s Carlita, there’s fun! Just be sure to be around when she says, “Everybody’s invited up to my house tonight.” When this attractive “stone” gets her dreamy look, we all wonder whether she’s fondly thinking of food or of a certain junior Garcon. Mary L. Sullivan Freshman Chorus (1); Pro-Merito (4); Office Staff (2. 4); Style Show (1). Mary is our diligent office staffer who types the notices every day. Her sparkling eyes and friendly smile give us the impression that she wouldn’t hurt a fly. Well, you’re right! Always calm, cool and collected, Mary earns her spending money by waitressing and still finds time to do all her home- work. This gal is going to make some lucky man happy! Andrew A. Tomasi “Andy” Football J.V. (3). Varsity (4), Letter (4); Baseball Varsity (1, 2, 3, 4). Don’t ever try to fight with this fellow! Our tall and strong senior has a baseball pitcher’s muscles and a football player’s drive and power. Constantly surrounded by admir- ing girls, Andy seems to enjoy school life. Frankly, we find it nearly impossible to keep up with his stride. Beatrice M. Tracy “Bea” Masque (2, 3, 4), Pin (4), Letter (4), “Curious Savage (4); Pro- Merito (4); Teenage Book Club Chairmanship (3, 4). We present an East Montpelierite who is really kept busy around MHS halls. When she’s not busy with curricular and extra-curricular activities, she’s riding and taking care of her own horse. Next year’s Masque will miss her energy, enthusiasm, and willingness to work long hours. She’s quite an artist and, an individualist, too. As a matter of fact, she’s a “rose among the thorns” in the drafting class. John E. Washburn “Johnny” Football J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3); Basketball J. V. (1, 2, 3), Varsity (2, 3, 4), Letter (4), Captain (4). This all-around fellow is a natural athlete, terrific danc- er and loyal friend. Chosen most popular and most versatile by his classmates, Johnny has contributed a great deal to the Class of ’57. All he has to do is flash his smile, and the girls come flocking. Brent A. Webster Baseball J. V. (1); Ski Club (2, 4); Ski Team Varsity (2, 4); Basket- ball Manager (2); Masque (1, 2. 3. 4), Pin (1), Letter (2), Vice- President (3), President (4). 120 Point Award (4); The Bat” (1), “Balcony Scene” (1), The Wizard of Oz” (1), The Little Dog Laughed (2), “Sunday Costs Five Pesos” (2), Dear Ruth” (3) “Parting at Imsdorf” (3), She Stoops to Conquer” (3), Curious Savage” (4), “Sorry, Wrong Number” (4), Variety Show (4); Boys’ Chorus (2, 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (2, 3, 4), President (4), All-State Chorus (4), Fortune Teller” (1), Smoky Mountain” (4); Student Council (3, 4); Solonscope (2); Record Board (2); Junior Prom Committee Chairman. Brent’s extra-curriculars speak for him. No need for us to add anything but “He’s a jolly good fellow!”. Reynold R. Welch “Rennie” Ski Club (2, 3, 4); Ski Team Varsity (1, 4); Track Varsity (4); Class Treasurer (3); Masque (3, 4), Smoky Mountain” (4); Record Board (3, 4). It’s a bird, it’s a plane—no, it’s SNOWFLAKES!! This ski enthusiast is often seen gazing up into the sky with an anxious expression on his face. A fancy dresser and a well poised fellow, Ren’s an ace on the dance floor. Not many of us realize that he’s also a philatelist. To sum it up, Rennie is a terrific guy with a mild D. A. and a nice dark tan who has no trouble charming the girls. Gordon R. Wilkinson “Gordie” Basketball J. V. (2, 3), Varsity (2, 3, 4), Letter (4); Class President (3); Debating Club (1); Freshman Chorus (1), Boys’ Chorus (2, 3), Mixed Chorus (2, 3); Solonscope (1, 2); Record Board (4); Junior Prom Decorations Committee Chairman (3); “She Stoops to Conquer” (3), MFortune Teller” (1). And here is our one and only senior-write-up man! Bet- ter hide quick, Gordie! A truly nice fellow and a good ath- lete, Gordie is willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who is in distress. Our ex-president possesses a tremendous per- sonality that attracts members of both sexes. David E. Woods “Dave Football J. V. (1); Baseball J. V. (1), Varsity (2); Assembly Com- mittee (2); Debating Club (4), J. V. Team (4); Band (1, 2, 3, 4); Student Council (1, 2). Between playing the sousaphone in band and competing in debating tournaments, Dave leads an active and interest- ing life. When we first knew him, he was a care-free fresh- man; now he’s a thoughtful senior. But please don’t misun- derstand us; Dave still retains his jovial and fun-loving spirit. Edwin H. Friot Eddie This tall, lanky lad came to us from Spaulding High in the middle of his freshman year. Envied by everyone for his happy-go-lucky nature, Ed is a ‘‘real round” guy. He tells us that he plans to be a history or geography teacher and wants to get his training at Johnson Teachers College. Well, he will certainly know all the tricks of the trade when his future students try to give him a rough time! Don’t forget that you were once on the other side of the desk, Ed! Roger A. Newhall R°g Projectionist (1, 2, 3, 4). . . _ Roger lives on Newhall Flats just this side of Middle- sex—not many of us have our streets named after our fami- lies! Between commuting to school and helping to manage the large Newhall farm, Rog has little time to just sit around and dream. A pleasant and helpful person, he gets things done with his quiet, reserved manner. We wish the best of everything to you, sir! Francis A. Wissel A newcomer at MHS, Francis has become friendly with everyone including a particular junior whose initials are V. S. Francis is classified in the tall, dark, and handsome cate- gory. A great teller of tales, Francis can be seen entertaining his friends in the halls before school. CLASS LOG 1953 - 1954 The ship left port this year for desti- nation unknown, carrying our class as new recruits. Captain Tom Amidon was at the helm aided by his first mate, Nancy Belanger, besides his assistants, Sally Bernardini and Connie Belanger. The Freshman Reception, given by our superiors, introduced us to ship life. Soon after this successful dance, we realized that we were to take part in the running of MHS, so we elected Katie Pond, Bart Jeffrey, and Dave Woods to the Ship’s Council. In spite of many hours of study, our crew found time to enjoy the ship’s var- ious extra-curricular activities. Things got off to a rousing start when the girls were initiated into G. A. A. Meanwhile the boys were introduced to “real” football by Coach Coane. With a change of weather came a change of sports; basketball was under- way and so was the cheerleading career of Sally. At half-time the fans were enter- tained by the first J. V. twirling squad which included Nancy Belanger, Linda and Barb. Another first in the ship’s his- tory was the Winter Carnival, a memor- able weekend packed with skiing events, a snow sculpture contest, and finally the big dance. It was also about this time that Brent made his debut in one of the won- derful Masque productions, The Bat, a mystery thriller which had us all on the edge of our seats. As our first year at sea drew to a close, we bade Bon Voyage to our superiors by holding in their honor, the Senior Dance. Following graduation exercises, we all happily departed for a few weeks of shore leave. 1954 - 1955 The first lap of our journey had proved a success, so we started the second lap full of anticipation of the coming year. Captain Tom and his crew turned their duties over to Steve Berry, Elsa Chapin, Jean O’Brien, and Pablo Gomez. Feeling a little older and somewhat wiser, we stood on the deck and watched eagerly as the seniors welcomed aboard a new group of recruits. Getting back into the “swing of things”, we found that our first duty was to add another representative to the Ship’s Council, and our choice was Linda Davis. Nancy Blaisdell was chosen to help Sally cheer our varsity teams on to victory. The fun and gaiety of the previous year was continued as Brent, Sally Pierce, and Nancy Blaisdell entertained us with The Little Dog Laughed. A main attraction of the spring months was the “Black Hat Dance”, sponsored by the ship’s news- paper, the Solomcope. Then another first —the Latin students aboard ship, aided by Miss Hutchinson, planned and partici- pated in a Roman banquet. The students, dressed in Roman style, were served by slaves (first-year Latin students) and en- tertained in the true Roman manner. After all of these exciting events, we suddenly realized that another year had passed and reluctantly we weighed anchor to allow the seniors to debark. 1955 - 1956 We began our third year at sea in our same old weather-beaten ship. However, we were all looking forward to the launch- ing of a new vessel, which was being con- structed for us in the Montpelier ship- yards. In the midst of our excitement, we settled down to elect Gordon Wilkinson as our captain and Lynda Kittle, Nancy Blaisdell, and Rennie Welch as our execu- tive crew. Bill Adams and Sally Pierce represented us in the Ship’s Council; and a new year was once again under way. Sports—especially skiing—were an im- portant highlight. Jon Anderson, Bill Adams, and Steve Berry proved them- selves ski champs at our annual Winter Carnival. I THIRTY] Of course the main highlight of the year was the launching of our new MHS. This wonderful event took place on a cold winter morning in December when we left behind our “old home” and happily board- ed our newly christened vessel. Inspired by this new turn of events, our basketball team sailed over Burlington and Mt. St. Josephs to win the Northern Vermont tournament. The main social event was, naturally, the Junior Prom. That evening the ship did plenty of “rockin’ ’n’ rollin’ ” to the beat of the U.V.M. Catamounts. In the spring, just before the end of this year’s journey, our delegates to Boys and Girls State were chosen. They included Sally Pierce, Elsa Chapin, Sally Bernar- dini, Dick Perkins, Ben Lamb, Bill Adams, Pablo Gomez, Tom Amidon, and Bob Glass. When chemistry unknowns had finally been solved and class rings were spar- kling on our fingers, Gordon Wilkinson marshalled in—and out—the Class of ’56; and we officially became the awe-inspir- ing seniors. 1956 - 1957 As experienced crew members starting on the last year of our voyage, we quick- ly elected Bill Ricker, Nancy Blaisdell, Barb Beal, and Bob Blanchard as ship offi- cers. Katie Pond took command of the ship’s newspaper and Ship Council. Sally Ber- nardini was promoted to captain of the cheerleaders while Lynda Kittle and Nancy Belanger practiced twirling tricks. Arlene Martin took charge of G. A. A. and Sally Pierce was chosen to guide the REC- ORD. At the same time Brent was elected executive officer in charge of entertain- ment (Masque) and our chorus. Imme- diately the Masque, under Miss Beal’s di- rection, presented The Curious Savage with Sally Pierce doing a commendable job in the lead. Martha Jeffrey as lead in “Sorry, Wrong Number” later gave us further reason to be proud. In sports the football team became the undefeated champions of Vermont for the first time since 1913. Dave Day and Dick Portelance were chosen for the All-State teams, but none of us will forget the tre- mendous playing of John Washburn, Cliff Bailey, Pablo Gomez, Dick Fleury, Tom Amidon, Noel Gomez, Stuart Bryan and Bob Blanchard. Continuing in this spirit, our basketball team became the North- ern Vermont runners-up with Bart Jeff- rey rightfully placed on the tournament team. Other stars of the season were John Washburn, Gordie Wilkinson, Pablo Gomez, Dave Goodall, and Dick Perkins. Sending class announcements, auto- graphing class pictures, attending the Junior Prom, preparing and presenting Class Day, enjoying our class picnic, and enduring rehearsals kept the crew busy as our ship drew closer to port after four happy and successful years of voyage. On June 14, 1957, it was time for us to de- bark and make room for the new recruits. A little sadness mingled with joy caused us to linger briefly on the gangplank. It was then that we realized that we had fin- ally reached the port where we would board other ships and that our days as ap- prentice seamen were over.

To qualify for this award, a student must have an average of at least eighty-five per cent for six semesters as well as character traits of the highest caliber. This award is also offered twice a year, once in the fall and again in the spring. The RECORD extends its sincere congratulations to the following students who have received this award: Thomas Amidon George Baker Rosalyn Baldwin June Bruce Marlene Bryant Elsa Chapin Earlene Dailey Beatrice Tracy Nancy Fielder Wayne Foster Robert Glass Pablo Gomez Martha Jeffrey Lynda Kittle Gene Kreis Benjamin Lamb Morris Leno Arlene Martin Priscilla Maxham James Nuissl Jean O'Brien Joan Pecor Richard Perkins Sally Pierce Katherine Pond William Ricker Barbara Senter Marcia Smith Mary Sullivan The SILVER M is the highest award given by MHS.

Ten points in scholarship and eight in extra-curricular activities are required for the fall award, and the spring award is given for fourteen points in scholarship and eight in extra-curricular.

Tom Amidon GIRLS AND BOYS STATE On a sunny day in June 1956, three girls from MHS—Sally Ber- nardini, Elsa Chapin, and Sally Pierce—landed at Vermont Junior College for the annual Green Mountain Girls State. What a wonderful week was in store for them! Meetings, campaigns, and elections filled most of the fleeting days, but there was still time to make new friends and to indulge in recreation. The object of Green Mountain Girls State is to teach the school representatives about their state and local governments and to demonstrate how each functions. This was accomplished in such a way that our three delegates will always remember that “great week at Girls State. On Sunday, June 17, at spacious and beautiful Norwich University, the 1957 edition of Green Mountain Boys State convened. The first two or three days were spent in playing sports and getting to know the other guys. They heard many speeches by Vermont dignitaries, listened to some fine music by the Boys State band, and campaigned for the Wednesday night election. During the remainder of the week, we held meetings of the legislature and towns; on Friday night activities were climaxed by a dance with Girls State in the Armory. The next day prizes and awards were presented, and a group of tired but happy Boy Staters left Norwich with many pleasant memories and new friends.

Despite a FLUERY of excitement, the class of ’57 forSHATNatElY reached a small island. There were no WOODS or even a HILL, yet we heard PECKing and a blue JAY flew overhead. ProBAILEY someone was planning to FRIOT, but it didn’t land. As we LENOned each other, sat on STONES and chewed sBRUCE gum, some COONS scurried past CAREYing bits of HERRING. When we found a little black KITTLE with a dead LAMB PIERCEd by a pRICKER inside, most of us had visions of occupying a COFFIN. Without BATTEN an eyelid, Nancy Fielder took her KELLEY green PARKER ’51 pen and wrote down our wills on a paper that she sent afloat in a GLASS bottle marked WELCH’S Grape Juice.

Pessimists Jean O’Brien and Elsa Chapin, however, spent their time TRACYing back to 1954. DAILEY, Rosalyn Baldwin passed baby pictures around to relieve tension. Luckily, an airplane spotted us and soon we dashed over the BRYANy “POND” leaving our isolated FOSTER dwelling far behind us. Returning to our HOLMES, we gulped a MARTINi and promised silently that we would be GOOD-ALL our lives!

Adams ♦ MONTPELIER SCHOOLS’ BAND WHETHER strolling through the school halls fourth period Monday or Thursday or watching the twirlers spin their silver batons, Angie the Angelfish can tell by the musical strains that the MHS Band is on the job again. This year besides having a well- balanced repertoire of smooth semi- classics and snappy marches, the Band added some old favorites and even some of the latest pop tunes to entertain the fans at athletic events. Angie especially likes to hear the pop tunes played in that special way which has become the Band’s trademark under the leadership of Mr. Mix. Also, for variety, the Band has formed within itself a very fine dance band and a peppy little German band. Among its appearances this year, the Band, along with the Choruses, presented a concert at Augusta, Maine. Angie found out that this was their first week-end trip. Angie went to Vermont State Music Festival and had quite a thrill when she saw Dave Woods, Jon Anderson, Bill Adams, Wayne Foster, Arlene Martin, and Katie Pond playing in the All-State Band.

Lynda Kittle ♦ DRUM MAJOR AND TWIRLERS SWALD the Octopus has always loved to watch those snappy MHS major- ettes, and this year under the able leader- ship of Sally Greene something new was added. MHS now has a combination twirl and drill team composed of Elizabeth Belanger, Nancy Belanger, Ruth Cleve- land, Linda Jones, Lynda Kittle, and Connie Pratt. The many new drills and routines fascinated both Ozzie and the fans during the halves at the football and basketball games—there was one pleasant surprise after another. The highlight of the varsity’s season was the week-end exchange concert with Cony High School of Augusta, Maine. Ozzie thinks that the girls and the band gave an exceptionally fine performance there. The Junior Varsity have done them- selves proud this year also. Jean Conkling, Polly Hall, Ruthie Harris, Maureen Hud- son, Irene Martin, and Carolyn Silloway helped to make the “little varsity” pleas- ing to the eyes—especially Ozzie’s. Ozzie is looking for more unique ideas from our girls next year, and he’s sure they won’t let him down. Here’s to surging ahead in 1957 and 1958! Ozzie also thinks he’ll try marching with the Band because he’d like to be out in front with Drum Major Sid Lawson! [SIXTY-TWOJ Judy Nelson. Marilyn Dorn. Lucille Roop. Sally Bernardini.

This year the Varsity included Captain Sally Bernardini, Lee Bowman, Lyn Dorn, Lucille Roop, Nancy Blaisdell, and Judy Nelson. Besides leading us in spirited cheers, some of which were original creations, the cheerleaders put on two pep rallies. Sharkey still remembers the one before the Spaulding game. The Junior Varsity, made up of Sally Patterson, Nancy Williams, Franne Nel- son, Barbara Babcock, Ginny Elderkin, and Sandra Gillander, certainly deserve some credit too. These wide-awake “little cheerleaders” helped to make the JV basketball games more spirited and at the same time gave the players moral support. Watch for Sharky next year at the football and basketball games—he says he’s going to be their mascot! [ SIXTY-THREE 1 First Row: Gerald Benedict. Georite Baker. Robert Nlms.

At the Christmas assembly, the VJC morn- ing program and the exchange concert with Cony High School, Augusta, Maine, the audiences applauded our fellows most enthusiastically. Within the Boys’ Chorus a quartet was formed to sing in the “Toast of Mont- pelier” and the Masque Variety Show. Because they have such fun singing to- gether, every one else enjoys listening to these musical sophomore, junior and senior boys. Willie has resolved to practice every day during the summer, for he hopes to be a member next year after the try-outs in the fall. [SIXTY-FOUR] First Row: Janet Leonard, Diane Law, Sally Pond.

He soon discovered, how- ever, that he was a mere ripple; but he decided to stay just the same. Freshman Chorus meets twice a week with Miss Newton. Next year they “graduate” to the Girls’, Boys’ and pos- sibly the Mixed Choruses. This year at the Christmas assembly they sang “The Christmas Legend” and a Moravian carol. Their favorite song, Willie soon learned, is the “Skye Boat Song”; and their favorite activity is “singin’ jus’ for fun”. However, they can work as well as play. When Willie saw howr capably they were directing corridor traffic, announc- ing audition groups, corralling bands and glee clubs and assisting musicians from other schools at the Northern Vermont Regional Auditions here in May, he made it his business to spout their praise. r SIXTY-FIVEJ Fint Row: Nancy Fielder.

Upon questioning the girls our curious whale discovered that the glee club is composed of all sophomore, junior, and senior girls who wish to take advantage of the chance to work under our choral director, Miss Newton. to enjoy singing, Willie could easily understand why everyone praised their programs at VJC and MHS assemblies. They also provided the smooth back- ground music for Smoky Mountain and sang at the return concert with Cony High School of Augusta, Maine. Never tired of singing, Willie can hardly wait until next September when he can again join in singing with all these wonderful girls. I SIXTY-SIX | Ffra Row: Polly Page. Trena Tallman.

Bill Daniels MIXED CHORUS AFTER looking in on the other Choruses, Willie came upon the “cream of the crop”, the Mixed Chorus. Headed by president Brent Webster and assisted by Ann Conkling, vice-president; Martha Jeffrey, secretary; Pat Martin, treasurer; Bill Daniels, business manager; Nancy Fielder, wardrobe mistress; and George Baker and Ginny Nelson, librar- ians, the mixed chorus has had a very busy and eventful year. In the fall the members sang in the Winooski Valley Festival held here at MHS. At Christmas time the group gave a fine religious pro- gram at the school assembly. In mid- winter our choral groups presented Smoky Mountain and sang at an assembly at Vermont Junior College in the early spring. In the latter part of May they participated in an exchange concert with Cony High School, of Augusta, Maine. The senior students in Mixed Chorus had a memorable experience this year at Vermont State Music Festival in Burling- ton. Brent Webster, Dick Perkins, Bill Daniels, George Baker, Elsa Chapin, Martha Jeffrey, Nancy Fielder, Priscilla Maxham, and Sally Pierce spent three days in the Queen City rehearsing with the All-State Chorus. After learning about the numerous activities of this group, Willie was con- vinced that this year’s Mixed Chorus was one of the best ever directed by Miss Newton in the history of MHS.

Crawling in, she came upon the MHS Forensic Society enthusiastically practicing de- bates and speeches for a coming tourna- ment. President Bob Nims and vice- president Bill Edwards were at the front of the room rehearsing speeches, while the others were debating the pros and cons of the Brannon Plan. In a calm and collected manner, Miss Murray was giving constructive advice to one and all. After asking Miss Murray to tell her about debating, Lizzie learned that this year the MHS Forensic Society had really been going places in State debating circles. Bruce Richardson held the purse strings as treasurer, and Linda Mereness fulfilled the secretary’s duties. Lizzie also learned about both the team and the individual honors and awards this group has brought back to MHS. Their team placed third in the State Debate Tournament and second in their own Invitation Tournament. Bill Edwards was judged best speaker for MHS. At Brad- ford Don Adams won first place for extemporaneous speaking, and Bill Ed- wards first place for oratory. Linda Mereness and Bob Nims tied for second place in extemporaneous speaking at the MHS Tournament. Both Don and Bill are entering the national Alexander Hamilton Contest on the state level this year. Lizzie wished she could have gone on their trips to Randolph, Burlington and Bradford High Schools and to Dartmouth College and University of Vermont. She is convinced they are a hard-working crew—they even wash cars to finance their ventures. fSIXTY-EIGHT] First Row: Connie Pratt. Priscilla Maxham. Sandra Caslani. Conchita Gomez. Luisa Monte.

Carlita Stone FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA SNIPPY the Snail, a new edition to our student body of fish and mammals, helped form the MHS Chapter of Future Homemakers of America. This organiza- tion is open to any girl who has an inter- est in homemaking and who has had at least one year of home-ec. Snippy and the faculty advisor, Mrs. Tobey, managed to stir up much interest among the girls and at one of the first meetings the fol- lowing officers were elected: Barbara Senter, president; Luisa Monte, vice- president; Conchita Gomez, treasurer; Corinne Kelley, historian; and Sally Chase, secretary. At a very impressive ceremony, the officers of the Spaulding chapter installed the MHS officers. The purpose of FHA is to promote a growing appreciation of the joys and satisfactions of homemaking and to develop creative leadership in home and community life. Since December the members have had several good speakers who have talked on Civil Defense and also on juvenile delinquency. At the last meet- ing of the year a mother and daughter banquet was held. Snippy is very pleased with the achievements of the first year of this organization; already he is looking for- ward to next year which will be even more active for this group.

She found out that this year Masque is made up of approximately 100 members headed by Brent Webster, president; Bonnie Holden, vice-president; Elsa Chapin, treasurer; Sally Pierce, secretary; and Meme Hill, business mana- ger. This year Masque has been under the guidance of Miss Beals, who has been responsible for many successful and unique ideas. This year’s activities have included a Variety Show held in the fall; Smoky Mountain, an operetta done in collabora- tion with the Choruses; “Sorry, Wrong Number”, a one-act play; The Curious Savage, the three-act play; as well as several workshop productions. Stella, a first-nighter, thought all of them were well directed and presented. In addition to this, the District and State Finals for the State One-Act Play Contest were held here in the Smiley Memorial Auditorium. Members of the Masque prepared and served supper to those participating, and also acted as guides to show the partici- pants around our school. As the RECORD was going to press, Stella was hoping to be invited to the annual Masque banquet to top off a very successful year. iSEVENTY] First Row: Carolyn Bryant. Ruth Cleveland. Conchita Gomez.

In the Smilie Memorial Auditorium he found a group of competent musicians and their director, Mr. Louis Fink, of Essex Junction, tuning up for some serious rehearsing. He was impressed with their ability and promptly sat down to listen. Angie the Angelfish joined him and began to whisper about how skillfully the string, woodwind, brass and percussion sections seemed to blend together. She also filled in with a few facts about their participation in the Thanksgiving assem- bly, the Winooski Valley Festival and the State Regional Auditions. Then she pointed out Lee Bowman, Carolyn Bryant, Ruth Cleveland, Lyn Dorn and Conchita Gomez, who were chosen for the string section of the All-State Orchestra at the Vermont Music Festival. When it was all over, Willie had persuaded Angie that if they studied and practiced diligently for a year or two perhaps Mr. Fink would let them join too. r SEVENTY-ONE] First Ro c: Lynda Kittle.

Imagine his surprise when he entered Room 22 and found editors, and committee chairmen hard at work whipping the copy into shape and getting the 1957 RECORD ready to go to press! (Of course he had already seen them at work running their candy and coat-checking concession at the basketball games and selling MHS book-covers in the fall.) While everyone else was either taking trips or just plain loafing, these faithful people were slaving away on senior write-ups, features, sports, organizations, and advertisements, head- ed by committee chairman Gordon Wilkinson, Linda Davis, Marcia Smith, Marlene Bryant, Barbara Beal and Luisa Monte, respectively. Finally the great day came when the dummy and copy were sent to press! Editor Sally Pierce breathed a sigh of relief, certain that this was the “Biggest and Best” RECORD. Miss Branch, the faculty advisor, smiled knowingly—to her this was an old story. But Eddie just sat back and admired himself and his friends as re-created by artists.

He found Katie Pond doing an excellent job as editor-in-chief and ably assisted by Sandy Laird and Pete Teachout; the faculty advisor, of course, was Miss Brettell. The feature pages sparkled with wit, thanks to Linda Davis. Congratulations are also due this department for the original poems, cartoons, and the Who's Who column that appeared in many issues. The news department had lots of in- formation about plays, dances, concerts, Student Council doings, as well as the activities of many MHSers 'round and about Montpelier. Steve decided that Marty Jeffrey and Jerri Ann Wood had done a very commendable job. Steve the Seahorse thought that the sports section, sparked by Bart Jeffrey, had an excellent coverage of our teams’ doings in every issue. Cynthia Russell was the editor of the girls’ sports items. Dick Perkins’ column, “On the Sidelines” added interest in a peppy sort of way. Steve learned that 1 he Solonscope staff was complemented by business manager Gene Kreis, exchange editor Luisa Monte, circulation manager Meme Hill, and photographer Bruce Henson. He also wants to put in a special word of credit for the all-important typists and reporters, who contributed more than many students realize toward the 1957 Solonscope.

Coach Morrison VARSITY FOOTBALL ON Saturday, November 3, the Mont- pelier High School Solons wound up their tremendous season. Although many believed before the season started that the team wouldn’t be very successful this year, the Solons showed their ability by winning every one of their games. The season started with the St. Johns- bury game which the Solons won quite handily—20-0. The next game was a very easy win over a completely confused New- port team. At the end it was discovered that Newport had landed a O score while MHS had points totaling 46. Some of the linemen even made touchdowns. Burlington was the next obstacle for the “Brown Buggy’’. MHS hadn’t beaten Burlington for many years, so this 13-7 victory was indeed one of the season’s high spots. Wendell Fisher shone in the game, scoring both touchdowns. Bob Blanchard, Dick Portelance, and Cliff Bailey also did yeoman service. After the great Burlington game Coach Brown feared an epidemic of ego-itis; however, his fears were unfounded as MHS, showing well-balanced attack and defense, rolled over Hartford 25-7. To defeat BFA the Solons had to come from behind for the first time. Three straight conversions by Amidon and a last quarter touchdown by Blanchard made the final score 25-20. Lyndon became the Solons’ sixth straight victim as they went down 38-13. Saturday, October 27, the Solons defeated Brattleboro 40-20. The second half was the big one for Montpelier as they piled up 34 points. John Washburn as quarterback ran the team very well. In the final game of the season, that all-important game with our rival, Spaulding, every man played a terrific game because MHS won 28-6. The Solons were named the state foot- ball champions and Coach Brown, the All-State Coach. David Day was chosen center and Dick Portelance end for the All-State Team. To Coaches Brown, Coane, and Mor- rison goes much of the credit for the fine job the MHS Solons did this year. Victory was their cry and they certainly something to shout about.

Coach Brown VARSITY BASKETBALL T OLLOWING the loss of the first six men who led him to the State tourna- ment last year, Coach Brown was faced with the task of rebuilding a fairly strong but green Montpelier team. Their in- experience showed in their first nine starts as they managed to pick up only three wins — Windsor, Hartford, and Brattleboro. Then the green Green Team caught fire; Coach Brown’s efforts plus the team’s determination began to put forth a winning combination. The Green and White dropped its first league game to Burlington, but after that the Solons went eight straight games without a defeat. Essex Junction, Cathedral, Winooski, BFA, St. Johnsbury, Burlington and Spaulding fell before our team, but a strong BFA team from St. Albans came back in their return contest and ended the streak. However, Coach Brown’s men did not let this deter them; and they swept their last three regular season games, beating Winooski, Cathedral, St. Johnsbury and Spaulding again. The high point of the season was the 40-38 upset over Burlington, the eventual winner of the Northern League Tourna- ment. The team compiled an impressive league record, defeating every team at least once, and winding up with an over- all league record of 8-2. At the close of the season the Solons were chosen to go to the Northern Tournament at Barre. On Friday, March first, the Green and White got off on the right foot by defeat- ing Mount St. Joseph 62-59; but on Saturday night they ran into the Burling- ton machine and the tournament, for Montpelier, ended right there. Burlington won 50-44. Co-captains Bart Jeffrey and Johnny Washburn did a terrific job of leading the team through their tough schedule. Jeffrey was among the top three scorers in the Northern League and he was picked for the All-Tournament Team. Besides Jeffrey and Washburn the other players who started for the Green and White were Steve Goodwin, and Brownie Towle, both juniors, and senior Gordie Wilkinson. The rest of the squad was composed of Dave Goodall, Pablo Gomez, Dick Perkins, Dick White and Cliff Heaton. Credit for a successful and smoothly run season should also go to the manag- ers: Doug Lindsay, Steve Bliss, and Pete 1 Teachout. [SEVENTY-SEVEN) First Row: Nancy Goodale. Dan Mathewson.

Sally Greene VARSITY SKI TEAM ' I VHE ski team had a successful year under the instruction of Miss Rust and Captain Bill Adams, competently aided by Manager Dwight Hayward. The lack of snow prevented their having a winter carnival; but the team participated in several meets, one of which was in Montpelier. The home meet and practices in the Alpine events were held at a new area near Colonial Drive in the southern part of the city. This area has a good slope and will be very useful when more work can be done on it. The Nordic events were held as usual at Sabin Meadows. At the home meet on February 12 the boys’ team placed second. Outstanding individuals were Danny Mathewson with a first in jumping, third in the cross country, and fourth in downhill; Captain Bill Adams placed second in cross- country, downhill, and slalom; Tom Amidon came in fourth in cross-country; and Steve Adams took third in slalom and first in downhill. The Montpelier boys were third at the Burlington meet on January 12. In cross- country Steve Dyke was fourth; in jump- ing Danny Mathewson was fourth also; and in the giant slalom Tom Amidon, Steve Adams and Jim Herschel took first, fourth, and fifth places, respectively. On March 2 both boys and girls went to Woodstock for a meet at Suicide Six. The girls’ team took first place and the boys’ team was third. Danny Mathewson was second and Bill Adams fourth in the cross-country. Steve and Bill Adams were third and fifth, respectively, in the boys’ slalom. In the girls’ slalom Nancy Goodale roared through the course to take second place; Sandy Laird was fourth; and Lynda Kittle was fifth. Because of lack of snow, the district meet at Burlington included only the Nordic events. For this reason the Mont- pelier team didn’t do so well. However, two Alpine racers were chosen to par- ticipate in the state meet. Tom Amidon took third place in the slalom and Steve Adams come in second in the downhill. According to the present point system, letter winners this year are Tom Amidon, Danny Mathewson, and Steve and Bill Adams. s ISEVENTY-EIGHTJ Firnl Row: Lee Hergey, Albert LaBounty. Norman Otis.

David Woods VARSITY BASEBALL THE attendance at the baseball games increased this year because of the sale of season tickets to help finance the sport and because the fans saw a lot of good ball playing. With competition for every playing post, the boys really had to work hard to gain and hold a first team position. Coach Morrison, who did a great job of guiding the team, usually played this lineup: Ricky Slayton, behind the plate; Brownie Towle at first base, Cliff Heaton well anchored at second base because he really knows how to pull off the double play with experienced John Washburn at the shortstop position; A1 LaBounty or Rick Graham holding down third base. The pitching staff is considered by some to be the strongest department on the team. With two experienced pitchers, Cliff Bailey and Andy Tomasi, who were “tops” in the 1956 season, the Solons gave the opposition plenty of trouble. In the outfield were Dick White, Norm Otis, and Lee Hersey. 1957 BASEBALL SCHEDULE April 30 Winooski there May 3 Essex Junction here May 7 Cathedral there May 10 BFA there May 14 Burlington here May 17 Spaulding there May 22 Winooski there May 24 Essex Junction there May 27 Cathedral here May 30 Spaulding here June 1 Burlington there June 4 BFA here I SEVENTY-NINE I First Row: Leonard LaCount.

Not only did they acquire more depth to form the backbone of their team, but they also developed some specialists to bring in the extra points. Stu Bryan could always be counted upon to win the mile, Danny Mathewson never failed to beat the best in clearing the high jump; and Steve Goodwin was usually worth three or five points in the 440. The mainstays—Ren Welch, Gordie Wilkinson, Noel Gomez, Pete Teachout, Wayne Emerson, Dick Blanchard, and Dwight Hayward — al- ways came through to provide a backlog of points for the other three. As this is being written, the track team has already defeated Enosburg Falls, Spaulding, and Bellows Free Academy. The more experienced Hartford and Lyndon teams proved too much for our boys this year, however. The boys are very grateful for the coaching and help they have received from Mr. Towne, Mr. Mathewson, Mr. Towle, Mr. Aiken and Miss Rust.

Soon after school started, the annual initiation con- ducted by the upperclassmen for the freshmen was held. Miss Rust and the rest of the GAA were very happy to see all the new members. Soon after this the annual picnic was held and last year’s delayed awards were given out. The first sport of the year was field hockey, which was very popular with the members of all classes. The next activity was stunts and tumbling. A demonstra- tion was put on for the Parents’ Open House. Next was basketball, the most popular girls’ sport. A very spirited tournament was held, and after a very close contest the seniors won. Softball and volleyball are the spring sports of the GAA. The year was climaxed by the award assembly at which many received awards and honors. | EIGHTY-ONEJ JUNIOR VARSITY SPORTS JAYVEE FOOTBALL pHE Jayvee football team under Coach Coane had a very successful year, and much is expected of them next year. Although they played only a few games, they were on the winning side of the record. The freshman squad played only one game this year and that was at Lyndonville. They battled to a 0-0 tie. Football is a sport in which patient coaching is needed, especially in the jay- vee and freshman squads. Each year Mr. Coane gives everyone an equal chance to make good. Since the Jayvees are like a “farm team” to the varsity, emphasis is placed on the development of players rather than winning many games. The fact that most of this year’s varsity were last year’s Jayvees shows what good coaching can do. JAYVEE BASKETBALL Under Coach Coane’s direction the Jayvee basketball team finished a very favorable season. They had a perfect record for a good part of the season. Besides having a good record, several of the boys were outstanding ball handlers. To build up and train boys for the varsity and to achieve a good average of wins and losses is a difficult task. Of course the important thing is to train boys to pass on to Coach Brown. The average players and the best players have equal chances to gain experience. With most of the Varsity graduating, these boys will see much action next year. JAYVEE BASEBALL The Jayvee baseball team under the able coaching of Mr. Charles Chapin were very well organized and gained much experience this year. Coach Chapin feels he has excellent material and that we ought to be seeing a lot of these boys in the future. The RECORD goes to press before they play their first game of the season; however, these are candidates for positions on the team: Pitchers: Larry LaFlam, Bruce Griffin, Roger Mack, Jay Harding; Catchers: Skip Rogers, Bob Kramer; Infielders: Peter Lavin, Bill Baumann, Miles Pren- tice; Outfielders: Tibby Brown, Pat Cotey; Substitutes: Ralph Drew, Jim Richardson, Don Bigglestone. f EIGHTY-TWO) FACULTY THE FACULTY PHILIP H. MATHEWSON Superintendent of Schools Mr. Mathewson is the North Star of our Montpelier Schools System. Always calm, cool, and dignified, Our Superintendent has the personality and quiet sense of humor which make him a grand person to know. Coach Towne’s thinclads certainly appreciate his efforts in organizing and guiding our first track team two years ago. ROBERT H. CHASTNEY Principal of Montpelier High School Need some good sound college or vocational advice? See Dr. Chastney and talk with him. With his many years of experience and vast knowledge, Dr. Chastney can guide and direct students into channels of the future. Always willing to help us with our problems, he is busy from morning till night. We seniors realize that through his efforts MHS is one of the top schools. GLENN AIKEN Science Boom!!! An explosion ? ? ? Check the chemistry laboratory! Don’t worry; Mr. Aiken is there so everything is under control. Our science teacher has certainly dis- tinguished himself in his field, and we are very fortunate to have his guidance. Aside from possessing a good sense of humor, Mr. Aiken has an enduring patience, w?hich is a necessity for an instructor who has to mix students with chemicals, physics problems and electronic devices. NANCY J. BEALS Speech and Dramatics “Our Director” — this is how Masque members who have worked in Masque productions this year speak of Miss Beals. Besides being an excellent dramatic coach, she is also a very enthusiastic speech and English teacher. No job ever seems too big for Miss Beals, who completes all jobs competently and superbly. We see big things ahead for future Masque members. STANLEY K. BOND History and Civics The fact that Mr. Bond has risen early and driven from his home in Randolph to Montpelier before school every morning could never be noticed in his classes, for he is inevitably cheerful and interesting whatever the weather. Always having a clever story or joke for every occasion is one of Mr. Bond’s most enjoyable assets. Our lively class discussions always leave us in a better mood to finish the day. ELIZABETH M. BRANCH English If you want to see Miss Branch, just look for someone who is flying around with a portable typewriter and a stack of original-writing folders. Eventually all will come to roost in Room 22 in the midst of a group of Record Board mem- bers. Her optimistic “Don’t worry; we’ll manage somehow.” has saved many a situation. Since her English classes in- clude freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors, most of us have had a chance to appreciate her sense of humor and interest in us first hand. KATHLEEN I. BRETTELL French and English Miss Brettell’s is the expert guiding hand which care- fully watches over the Solonscope, helping to make it the fine publication it is. Judging by reports from former graduates of MHS, we can safely say that those who have included French among their college subjects appreciate the solid foundation which she has given them. She always enjoys a good joke and goes out of her way to present interesting anecdotes on whatever subject she is teaching. GEORGE D. BROWN Coach and Driver Training If you hear a screech of brakes and then a calm voice saying, “Now take it easy and . . . ”, that will be Coach Brown instructing a student how to safely manage a car. A firm friend of the fellas and the gals, he is sometimes mistaken for one of the students; however, when he starts giving orders, everyone realizes the difference. His expert guidance and coaching ability have brought our school many honors in athletics. GRAY R. COANE Mathematics and Mechanical Drawing Everyone likes Mr. Coane and the feeling seems to be mutual. He is the man students look to for help in algebra, mechanical drawing, football, basketball, and golf. In appreciation for his service to MHS students during his twenty-five years here the Alumni Association honored him at their annual banquet this June. As coach of Jayvee basketball and football he has laid the groundwork for those spectacular Solon teams we all love to cheer. PATRICIA K. DILLON English Any person who has been in one of Mrs. Dillon’s classes has certainly gained an appreciation for fine literature. Somehow she has a knack for presenting classic literature in an extremely painless and enjoyable manner. Mrs. Dillon’s quick sense of humor and charming ways blend to create a very pleasing personality. One can always expect a smile from her in the classroom, the halls, or around town. With- out Mrs. Dillon what would we do wrhen time to plan Class Day rolls around! MILLICENT L. DIXON Commercial Without Miss Dixon’s accurate and meticulous mind, the MHS organization funds would be quite muddled. If a treasurer becomes momentarily confused, she patiently ex- plains what the columns in the books are for and what belongs in each one. The seniors who take office practice certainly appreciate their background and knowledge of office efficiency when they are endorsing their own salary checks after graduation. JOEL R. DUFAW General Science and Mathematics We used to wonder where Mr. Dupaw was always going in such a hurry. One day curiosity led us to try to keep up with him. At the end of the day we were exhausted from just watching him preparing for labs, typing tests and quizzes, cranking the ditto machine, walking the beat on lunch duty, and teaching four classes of freshmen general science classes and one of commercial arithmetic. Mr. Dupaw, however, hadn’t shortened his stride all day and had that eager look of “Tennis, anyone?” in his eye. HARLAN R. FARNSWORTH Mathematics This year Mr. Farnsworth took over courses in the math department, teaching plane geometry and inter- mediate algebra. His warm personality and sincerity have certainly been appreciated by all who were having trouble comprehending the mathematical mysteries of life. Throughout the year he has also managed the finances of the athletic associations. By talking with him, we have discovered that we have a Mutual Admiration Society. MILDRED L. HALLGREN, R.N. School Nurse Whether suffering from a headache or just troubled by an annoying blister, we are always cordially greeted at Miss Hallgren’s office. While at school we feel secure with our competent and capable nurse, Miss Hallgren. In fact, we think we would rather go to her office than stay at home in bed. Forever sympathetic with our complaints and prob- lems, Miss Hallgren really rates on top with us. JOYCE E. HERMANN Social Studies Mrs. Hermann is one teacher whom you can always rely on to give you an interesting and inspiring class. Her class discussions are to be rated among the highest, and we seniors are impressed with her comprehensive knowledge of world history. Since we enjoyed having her as one of our junior class advisors last year, we were more than pleased to find her in our home room this year. JAMES W. HOLMBOM Art You say you can't draw a straight line? Do you shudder when modern art is mentioned ? Then Mr. Holmbom is the man to see, for he is a talented artist as well as an excellent teacher. In his class you will probably never learn to draw a straight line, for that is impossible. But oh the things he can teach you to draw with the crooked ones! As the year progresses you will develop an appreciation for the modern artist and that all modern paintings aren’t done from hunger or while the artist had a headache. LOUISE E. HUTCHINSON Latin Want to consult anyone about Latin ? Miss Hutchinson is the person to see, for she will tell you that Latin is the basis for a good liberal education and that a knowledge of Latin will also help those English marks. Not only is Miss Hutchinson a great advocate of Latin, but she also has many other interests. When divested of her Latin books, Miss Hutchinson enjoys photography and hiking. Also, we might mention that Roman banquets are one of her specialties. VIOLET E. KETTELLE Director of Guidance Miss Kettelle can do more in a day than many do in a week. Each year she gives and tabulates literally hundreds of tests (I.Q., reading, vocational aptitudes, etc.), helps students to choose and apply to colleges, keeps us informed about all types of scholarships, conducts freshman orienta- tion classes, plans career conferences, and solves our study- ing and scheduling problems. You’d better sit down while we tell you that she has taught algebra, plane geometry, aeronautics, chemistry, French, hygiene, biology, physics and commercial arithmetic. VERNE L. MCDONALD Commercial The camera grinds, and another Solon touchdown is immortalized in celluloid. Who’s immortalizing ? Mr. McDonald, of course. Lest you get the idea that Mr. McDonald is strictly a sports photographer, we’ll go on. He’s also an excellent commercial instructor whose patience and understanding is appreciated by all of us who struggle with typewriters, shorthand forms, and problems in con- sumer economics. We’ll let him tell you about his fishing expeditions! CHARLES H. MEANS General Shop That patience is a virtue is a saying which is very appropriate for Mr. Means. Besides teaching at high school the first four periods in the day, Mr. Means instructs at the Main Street School also. Never complaining about his busy schedule and always helping students to make jewelry, trays, leather articles, etc., Mr. Means is recognized as an authority in all crafts. His keen interest and ingenuity are our inspiration. CLIFTON L. MIX Band Director Realizing Mr. Mix’s outstanding skill as director and organizer, we have come to expect a top-notch band year after year, and “Our Director” has never let us down. With Mr. Mix holding the baton, all band members are given an opportunity to play under a man of exceptional ability. Variety within the group is one of his specialties. Whether you want a marching band, a dance band, a German band, or a concert band, Mr. Mix is the leader who can produce it. BURTON B. MORRISON Coach and Physical Education Here’s Marlon Brando's double in person! At least that’s what all the girls say. As boys' physical education instructor at all three schools and as MHS baseball coach, Mr. Morrison has little time for play. The fellows enjoy gym classes under Mr. Morrison so much that they even continue their basketball, volleyball, and baseball through the noon hours. We seniors will miss his speeches at the award assemblies. FREDERICK H. MUNKELT Mathematics Got a math problem? Mr. Munkelt is your man! An extremely capable instructor and a great guy are two phrases which aptly describe his talents and personality. Those who study trig and solid unanimously attest to his genius and masterfulness in the realm of math and to his patience with senior chicanery. We know that next year we will be grateful for all you’ve done for us this year. CHRISTIE G. MURRAY Secretary to Dr. Chastney Miss Murray is one of the most efficient secretaries we’ve ever seen. Her calm, steady work and foresight keeps both us and the office out of utter chaos. With a place for everything and everything in its place, she always manages to be calm and good-natured. We seniors know by now that tardy students are Miss Murray’s pet aversion. That’s why when asked to give advice to underclassmen, we always say, “Be on time!” JOANNE C. MURRAY Commercial Miss Murray is the indefatigable soul who rejuvenated the Debate Club last year and coached debating in addition to her heavy teaching schedule. She has helped and inspired the members to work very hard by her own keen and very active interest. Under her fine leadership the club is fast developing into one of the big teams in the state. We always see her at basketball games too, for she’s one of the Solons most enthusiastic supporters. Our thanks to you for everything. DORIS I. NEWTON Music Whenever we see Miss Newton she’s always “en route”, not between classes, but between schools. Teaching music on all levels from first grade to the MHS Mixed Chorus is just part of her day’s work. Her own enthusiasm and energy are an inspiration to us all. When people compliment us on our excellent choruses, we have to give Miss Newton credit for bringing out the best in us. We are really grateful for her patience and long hours of work with us. LEONARD A. PORTER Biology and Hygiene A newcomer this year, Mr. Porter has made many friends among the students and faculty. Always willing to help out wherever he can, he has served as assistant coach for our track team and as treasurer for our magazine sales drive, sponsored by the Student Council for the athletic fund. Just walk by Room 31 anytime during the day and you will hear enthusiastic biology students asking questions or holding enthusiastic discussions. KATHLEEN RUST Physical Education ”1, 2, 3, 4, 5 — Hold!!!” Hear that? It’s exercise time with Miss Rust’s classes. If you want to lose weight or strengthen your muscles, just ask Miss Rust for she can tell you which exercises are best suited to your needs. An expert in all sports and recreational activities, Miss Rust has made health education and gym fun for all. Next year she’ll be in Europe. Best of luck, Miss Rust, and do send us a postcard or two. MARGUERITE S. SMALL English Do you see a Student Council member looking for some- one? He’s trying to find Mrs. Small, of course. As faculty advisor of this student government group, she’s always on the go, but she’s never too busy to lend a helping hand to anyone. She is also the head of the English department, which gives students a good basic knowledge of our language. Her generosity and friendliness will always re- main in our memories of MHS. DOROTHY C. TOBEY Homemaking Mrs. Tobey is a homemaking teacher who is appreciated by the men as well as the gals. Our boys on our and other basketball teams have thoroughly enjoyed the delicious sandwiches which she has prepared and served to them after the home games. Teas, luncheons, food sales, and style shows are only a few of the many projects which she and her homemaking classes have put on. This year she has added another activity — an active chapter of the Future Homemakers of America. 9 DONALD S. TOWLE Industrial Arts Under Mr. Towle’s expert guidance the boys who take shop work turn out many excellent projects. From the noise that emanates from the workroom we certainly are led to believe that there is a constant flurry of work going on in there; however, the din never seems to bother this cool and collected shop foreman. In the field of sports Mr. Towle has been helping out the track team this spring. We’ve also seen him on the Mountain — he’s quite a skier! WILLIAM A. TOWNE History and Economics Whether out on the field coaching track or in the classroom instructing in history, Mr. Towne remains the same even-tempered, jovial person. In Mr. Towne’s classes students acquire vast knowledge about the history of our country. Somehow this process is both painless and enjoy- able. We seniors are especially grateful to him for his efforts in helping us with our class projects, especially the class picnic. BUELL S. JENKINS Supt. of Buildings and Grounds Have you lost your locker key, or did you just forget it this morning? Then find Mr. Jenkins, our much sought after trouble-shooter. The custodians, headed by Mr. Jenkins, have little time for rest with all the students and faculty running to and after them with various problems. However, in spite of these many interruptions, Mr. Jenkins manages to keep us going and in ship-shape order too. MARY M. WHITNEY Director of Hot Lunch Program Do you ever wonder who’s behind those luscious lunches served in the cafeteria or who authorizes those large servings and refills? Mrs. Whitney and her competent staff calmly cope with the task of keeping us healthy with appealing and balanced meals as well as managing to add “something extra” to the menus. Many thanks to you for those wonderful meals that keep us on our toes throughout the afternoon. [NINETY] List of Advertisers A. D. Farwell Co.
