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!

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.

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.
