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.

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.

Gordon R. Wilkinson “Gordie” Basketball J. V. (2, 3), Varsity (2, 3, 4), Letter (4); Class President (3); Debating Club (1); Freshman Chorus (1), Boys’ Chorus (2, 3), Mixed Chorus (2, 3); Solonscope (1, 2); Record Board (4); Junior Prom Decorations Committee Chairman (3); “She Stoops to Conquer” (3), MFortune Teller” (1). And here is our one and only senior-write-up man! Bet- ter hide quick, Gordie! A truly nice fellow and a good ath- lete, Gordie is willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who is in distress. Our ex-president possesses a tremendous per- sonality that attracts members of both sexes. David E. Woods “Dave Football J. V. (1); Baseball J. V. (1), Varsity (2); Assembly Com- mittee (2); Debating Club (4), J. V. Team (4); Band (1, 2, 3, 4); Student Council (1, 2). Between playing the sousaphone in band and competing in debating tournaments, Dave leads an active and interest- ing life. When we first knew him, he was a care-free fresh- man; now he’s a thoughtful senior. But please don’t misun- derstand us; Dave still retains his jovial and fun-loving spirit. Edwin H. Friot Eddie This tall, lanky lad came to us from Spaulding High in the middle of his freshman year. Envied by everyone for his happy-go-lucky nature, Ed is a ‘‘real round” guy. He tells us that he plans to be a history or geography teacher and wants to get his training at Johnson Teachers College. Well, he will certainly know all the tricks of the trade when his future students try to give him a rough time! Don’t forget that you were once on the other side of the desk, Ed! Roger A. Newhall R°g Projectionist (1, 2, 3, 4). . . Roger lives on Newhall Flats just this side of Middle- sex—not many of us have our streets named after our fami- lies! Between commuting to school and helping to manage the large Newhall farm, Rog has little time to just sit around and dream. A pleasant and helpful person, he gets things done with his quiet, reserved manner. We wish the best of everything to you, sir! Francis A. Wissel A newcomer at MHS, Francis has become friendly with everyone including a particular junior whose initials are V. S. Francis is classified in the tall, dark, and handsome cate- gory. A great teller of tales, Francis can be seen entertaining his friends in the halls before school.
