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.

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.

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!

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.
