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.

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!

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.
