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.

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.

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!
