“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.

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”.

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
