Montpelier High School - Record Yearbook (Montpelier, VT)

Text from Pages 1 - 118 of the 1958 volume:

MRS. CLIFTON B. HERSEY To Mrs. Clifton B. Hersey, our capable and efficient secretary, who does so much for so many of us to keep the wheels of Montpelier High running smoothly, we wish to express our thanks and appreciation for her contributions to our four years at MHS. MR. CLIFTON L. MIX To Mr. Mix, our talented and distinguished bandmaster, who has generously given so much of his time and energy to the formation and direction of the Montpelier Schools Band, we gratefully dedicate our 1958 RECORD. PROLOGUE THROUGH four years of high school, students should acquire certain qualities. We, the Record Board Staff, have tried to divide the or- ganizations, honors, awards and sports usually included in this yearbook into different categories according to the opportunities they provide and the training they give. Our art staff has created drawings to introduce each of these sections. Perhaps you may wonder why the senior class has been placed at the end instead of at the beginning of this BIGGER AND BETTER RECORD. Because the seniors represent the finished product of all this training, we decided to “graduate” them at the end instead of at the be- ginning. 1958 RECORD BOARD EDITORS AND STAFF EDITOR MERI SKEELS ASSISTANT EDITORS CONCHITA GOMEZ, PAULINE PAGE FEATURES AND ART EDITOR SALLY GREENE ORGANIZATIONS EDITOR NANCY DESILETS SPORTS EDITOR STEVEN BLISS SENIOR WRITE-UPS EDITOR DOUGLAS LINDSAY FACULTY WRITE-UPS EDITOR CAROL EDSON PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR CYNTHIA RUSSELL CHAIRMAN OF TYPISTS ................... BARBARA LORD BUSINESS MANAGER LOUISA MONTE ADVERTISING MANAGER PATRICIA MARTIN TREASURER JERRI WOOD PHILIP H. MATHEWSON Superintendent of Schools Mr. Mathewson, who has been our superintendent for four years, is held in high esteem in both educational and civic circles. He grew up and went to school in Lyndon, Ver- mont, and is a graduate of Middlebury College and the Uni- versity of Michigan. Many of us have been helped by his sympathetic and understanding advice. When he can find time, he enjoys fishing, hunting and woodworking. ROBERT H. CHASTNEY Principal of Montpelier High School As the saying goes — “It’s the princip(a)l(e) of the thing that counts.” Dr. Chastney by his understanding lea- dership and years of experience has made MHS a truly first- rate school. A graduate of Hamilton College, Columbia University, and New York University, he taught in several schools in New York before coming to Montpelier fourteen years ago. Latin, by the way, is his favorite subject. When he can take time off from his school and civic responsibili- ties, he enjoys salt-water sailing. GLENN AIKEN — Science Take two parts patient guidance, one part understand- ing, and a dash of dry humor. Mix well and what do you have? Mr. Aiken, of course! Those who have toiled through his courses are well acquainted with his vast scientific knowledge. Educated at Amherst and the University of Vermont, he returned to both institutions in a teaching capacity. Mr. Aiken taught in both public and private schools in New York and Connecticut before coming to Montpelier eleven years ago. His hobbies include sailing, music, and the theater. NANCY J. BEALS — Speech and Dramatics Drama Festival? Speakers Bureau? Spring play? Oh, you must be talking about Miss Beals. Anyone who has helped in Masque production is well-acquainted with her calm and efficient direction. Whatever the last-minute problem, Miss Beals soon has everything under her com- petent control. With her help, MHS has become the only school in New England to have a Speakers’ Bureau. Edu- cated at the University of Vermont, Miss Beals was assoc- iated with the UVM Players and is very interested in all phases of dramatics. STANLEY K. BOND U. S. History and P. A. D. Everybody knows our Mr. Bond. His cheery laugh and engaging smile, along with his marvelous sense of humor, make his classes full of interest and fun. He graduated from the Universities of Alabama and Vermont, as well as Boston University. Before coming here four years ago, he taught in schools in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. For several years he has served as the chairman of advisors fcr the senior classes. ELIZABETH M. BRANCH English See someone with a portable typewriter and a stack of original writing folders? That’s Miss Branch. Oh, yes, she’ll be carrying a RECORD with her because there are always many last minute details to straighten out in the pro- cess of going to press. With her wonderful sense of humor she makes both the after-school Record Board sessions and her English classes a lot of fun. KATHLEEN L BRETTELL French and English Miss Brettell grew up in Ottawa, Canada, and Benning- ton, Vermont. After graduating from Bennington High School and Middlebury College, she taught at North Troy High School before coming to MHS. She feels that French is very rewarding whether the next step is college or a job. Her French students certainly agree with her. When she’s not correcting papers or working on the Solonxcope, she tries to find time for reading, gardening, cooking and en- joying her niece and nephew. GEORGE D. BROWN Coach and Driver Training Mr. Brown grew up and went to school in Scarsdale, New York. He taught at Coxsackie, New York, before coming to MHS six years ago. These years have added a great deal to our football and basketball team standings in the state. His hobbies include fixing up his home, hunting, and fishing. We might add that he finds survival a hard task during driver training periods. GRAY R. COANE Mathematics and Mechanical Drawing Mr. Coane, who has taught at MHS since 1932, grew' up in Brattleboro, Vermont. He went to Norwich University and received his B. A. in civil engineering. He also went to the Universities of Illinois and Vermont and received his M. E. degree at Bates. Mr. Coane finds that everyday is an in- teresting experience. His students think so too! We are fortunate in having him as our J. V. coach. His other in- terests are skiing, golfing, and Little League baseball. MnUCENT L. DIXON Commercial So your treasurer’s book doesn’t balance? Miss Dixon. our efficient school treasurer, is certain to have a solution_ count and re-count. Many secretaries who were once students in her classes credit their success to the know ledge and training which she has given them. Her background and skill in typing and shorthand, as well as bookkeeping and record keeping seem to have rubbed off onto pupils in her classes. EUGENE N. DOHERTY History and English If you see someone with a friendly smile walking down the hall or hear a burst of laughter from the class in Room 5, chances are you have seen Mr. Doherty and heard the reaction to one of the jokes he has just told. Hailing from Roselle Park, New Jersey, he has laid the groundwork for future football victories. He is an avid enthusiast of the out-of-doors — especially these rugged Vermont winters. We appreciate the keen interest he has shown in all our school activities. HARLAN R. FARNSWORTH Mathematics Care to go hiking, or have you the curiosity to find out why two triangles are congruent ? If you are interested in either, Mr. Farnsworth’s the man to see. Besides taking these jobs in hand, he is number one in the managing of the finances of the Athletic Association. Even though he is busy, he has found time to straighten out all the confused mathematically inclined minds that come before him each day. PATRICIA K. GANDLEY Physical Education Mrs. Gandley, the vivacious girls’ physical education teacher, came to us from Waterbury High School this year. As a youngster she lived in Maryland, later moving to New York City where she attended New York University and instructed at Long Island City High School in New York. Of all sports, she particularly enjoys badminton and swim- ming. For a change of pace, however, she turns to playing the piano. Because she believes that phys-ed activities con- tribute much to the physical and social development of youth, she became a physical education instructor. MILDRED L. HALLGREN, R. N. School Nurse Do you need a polio shot, or do you have a headache? At one time or another we have all staggered into Miss Hallgren’s office, asked for and received relief from our agonies. Scurrying between the high school and the elemen- tary schools, she keeps us guessing about how our efficient nurse can take such an interest not only in our state of health but also our state of mind. JOYCE E. HERMANN Social Studies Mrs. Hermann, who teaches many subjects including world history, is a native of Monroe, New Hampshire, and attended Mclndoes Academy. A graduate of U. V. M., she spent several years teaching at Hardwick Academy and Waterbury High School before coming to MHS four years ago. She laughs as she remembers being mistaken for a student and invited to join the chorus during her first year here. Between school work and examinations, she somehow finds time to read and work in her garden. CHRISTIE M. HERSEY Secretary to Dr. Chastney “May I have an admit slip? I was late for class.” This is the request Mrs. Hersey hears quite often in the office. Mrs. Hersey graduated from Groton High School in Groton, Vermont, and from Vermont College. During her five years at MHS, she can safely say that she has never had a dull moment. One of the aspects of her work which she enjoys most is meeting the new students. Mrs. Hersey’s hobbies include cooking, good movies, music, and dancing. JAMES W. HOLMBOM Art Do you plan to enter the fields of advertising, commer- cial art, architecture, design, or teaching? Then the man to guide you is Mr. Holmbom. Born in Monson, Maine, he spent his high school years at Monson Academy and his col- lege years at the Portland School of Fine and Applied Art and at the University of Maine. In 1956 he came to MHS. His interests are widespread, and his hobbies include skiing, snowshoeing, camping, fishing and photography. LOUISE E. HUTCHINSON Latin An able teacher of Latin, Miss Hutchinson is responsi- ble for giving all her students a firm foundation for foreign languages. She first met Latin at Bradford Academy in her hometown, Bradford, Vermont. Continuing her language studies, she graduated from Middlebury College. She be- gan her teaching career at People’s Academy in Morrisville, coming to MHS five years ago. Among her many hobbies she enjoys traveling, photography and — more recently — leatherwork. VIOLET E. KETTELLE Director of Guidance If you’re in doubt about a career, our knowledgeable guidance director will help you. After spending her high school years at East Greenwich Academy in her home state, Rhode Island, Miss Kettelle graduated from Pembroke Col- lege at Brown University. She has also taken graduate courses at Rhode Island College of Education and University of Rhode Island. Before becoming guidance director at MHS, she taught biology for several years. Her many hob- bies include genealogy, gardening and reading. verne l. McDonald Commercial Mr. McDonald is one of our most versatile faculty members. His chief hobby is photography but he’s also a competent do-it-yourselfer, and avid fisherman. Of course his favorite colors are those of the speckled trout. Of course you know about his favorite quotation: “You may not be what you think you are . . . but what you think, you are.” CHARLES H. MEANS General Shop Mr. Means, aways calm and understanding, has been a big help to the boys and girls in general shop. Before com- ing to Vermont, he taught in Illinois, North Carolina and Delaware. Though he never seems rushed, he is a busy man with classes not only here at the high school but also at the Main Street School where he teaches the seventh and eighth graders. Know what he does in his spare time? Makes gifts for his gift shop. CLIFTON L. MIX Band Director If you hear sweet sounds during fourth period, it’s apt to be the band being directed by our fine leader, Mr. Mix. An expert trumpet player, as well as band director, he has been given the opportunity of visiting every state in the Union as well as Canada, Mexico and several other foreign countries. His outside interests include his store and giv- ing lessons to Montpelier’s instrumentalists. BURTON B. MORRISON Coach and Physical Education Wink . . . sigh! Mr. Morrison just passed by. His speeches at pep rallies and award assemblies always add just that extra little touch. Although he has a very busy schedule, teaching at all three schools, Mr. Morrison is al- ways in wonderful humor. We enjoyed the cool outfit he wore for the Alumni game this year. FREDERICK H. MUNKELT Mathematics Mr. Munkelt was born in London, England, and moved to Brooklyn when he was eight years old. He graduated from Boys’ High School of Brooklyn, Dartmouth College, and Thayer School of Engineering. Mr. Munkelt has taught trigonometry and solid geometry at MHS for two years. Now retired from an engineering career, he is a familiar figure in Room 1 where he helps students unravel their prob- lems. HOMER S. MURRAY History and Economics Mr. Murray came to MHS this year from Springfield High School, where he had taught for some time. He has great interest in the subjects he teaches and has success- fully translated that interest to us. He says he enjoys the co- operation most MHS students have given him during his first year with us. After graduating from Spaulding High School, Mr. Murray studied at four colleges, including the University of Vermont. His outside interests include read- ing, fishing, gardening, and skiing. JOANNE C. MURRAY Commercial Miss Murray grew up in Rutland and Williamstovvn and graduated from the University of Vermont with a B. S. in business education. She has been at MHS for three years. She tells us that she teaches commercial subjects because she believes it is important for everyone to understand the basic problems of the business world and our economic needs for skilled employees. When she’s not coaching winning de- bate teams, she enjoys reading, listening to music, spectating at sports, and attending plays. DORIS I. NEWTON —Music Miss Newton, a native of Andover, Massachusetts, is the enthusiastic and capable director of all our MHS choral groups: Freshman Chorus, Girls’ Glee Club, Boys’ Chorus, and the Mixed Chorus. Besides training these groups she is also the music supervisor for the grades at Union School. Two of her avocations are, appropriately enough, traveling and hiking. After receiving degrees from Lowell State Teachers College and Boston University, Miss Newton taught in three other New England states before coming to Vermont. BIAGIO PALERMO General Science and Mathematics A newcomer to MHS, Mr. Palermo has jumped right into the swing of things. The Ski Club members will vouch for the fact that he is the one from whom to learn the ways of the barrel staves. However, he’s not always on the slopes, for we’ve seen him at all the Solons' basketball games. In spring he keeps busy with the Jayvee baseball team. It’s hard to tell who is giving whom the biggest workout. ELIZABETH K. PETERSON English Miss Peterson, a native of Montpelier, came to us from Maplewood, New Jersey. She graduated from the Univer- sity of Vermont, Columbia University, and did post-graduate work at Rutgers, New York University, and Middlebury. Her hobbies include reading, photography, handicrafts and gardening. She has also traveled extensively through the United States, Alaska, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Me? ico and Europe. LEONARD A. PORTER Biology Mr. Porter is an alumnus of MHS, Norwich University, and Boston University. He has worked as a bread sales- man, Army judo instructor, and lab and X-ray technician. However, he prefers teaching because it is satisfying to help teen-agers develop an interest and knowledge of science. His avocations are hunting, archery, and a study of the history of the U. S. Navy and its ships. In the fall he hopes to publish a book, Warships of the U. S. Navy, 1775-1955. MARGUERITE S. SMALL English Mrs. Small, who has taught at MHS for thirteen years, has always lived in Vermont. Before coming here, she taught in Richmond, Cambridge, and Morrisville. She likes teaching English because she feels that we should know our own language and that there is an ever-increasing need for expressing ourselves more effectively. When not correcting papers, Mrs. Small enjoys books, travel, church and club work, and — in the domestic field — braiding rugs and cooking. DOROTHY C. TOBEY Homemaking Mrs. Tobey, our homemaking instructor for the past nine years, grew up in North Hampton, New Hampshire. She attended the Robinson Seminary of Exeter and later graduated from the University of New Hampshire. Before teaching here, she instructed in schools in Concord and Lin- coln, New Hampshire. Mrs. Tobey enjoys the various phases of homemaking, and her outside interests include antiques and her cat, Timmy, who also likes antiques. DONALD S. TOWLE Industrial Arts Mr. Towle believes that in this day of automation we should not neglect the manual skills. He has taught at MHS for fourteen years and has done a great deal for students interested in shop work. A graduate of Fitchburg State Teachers College, he has also taught in St. Johnsbury, Ver- mont, and Fairfield, Connecticut. Among his outside inter- ests are camping and woodcraft. BUELL S. JENKINS Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds The more forgetful students of MHS would be lost with- out Mr. Jenkins. The mournful “I've lost my locker key is an all-too-familiar phrase to him. That he is a busy man is an understatement. He is indispensable in keeping our school looking beautiful and running smoothly. Mr. Jenkins grew up in the neighboring state of New York and graduated MARY M. WHITNEY Director of Hot Lunch Program “Doesn't it smell good? — Yes, we're talking about the appetizing aroma coming from our school cafeteria. Mrs. Whitney, our busy school lunch supervisor deserves credit for this. Mrs. Whitney is a graduate of the University of Maine and majored in home economics. She has had many experiences as food director and dietician. We certainly are grateful to her and her competent staff for such consistently good meals.

Rebecca Newhall, Meridan Brooks CAFETERIA STAFF AND OFFICE STAFF CAFETERIA STAFF — We know you will agree that Mrs. Whitney, head of the cafeteria staff has done a wonderful job this year. The students who have helped this year are Lucy Ruggles, who acts as cashier for the hot lunch; Joan Knowles, assistant cashier; and Sandy Sansing and Bab Sweetser, who help with the serving. The “cold lunch” workers are Becky Newhall, cashier, and her as- sistant, Mike Brainerd. After lunch is served, Walter Bruso, Jim Crouse and Spencer Whitney man the dishwasher, while Sandra Robertson, Frances Sansing and Mary Lou Bessette restore order in the dining room. To Mrs. Hedges, Mrs. Pratt and Mrs. Tryon belongs the credit for preparing such good lunches and for serving everything hot. Did you know that they also provide the lunches for both Union and Main Street Schools? OFFICE STAFF — We know Mrs. Hersey will agree with us when we name this year’s office staff as a very competent one. Besides helping Mrs. Hersey, Mrs. Aiken, and Miss Kettelle, they also help themselves to gain exper- ience before they go out into the offices of businessmen. They learn office rou- tine by doing such varied tasks as typing notices, answering the telephone, writing admit slips, filing, delivering messages, and occasionally taking charge of the of- fice. Qualifications for this position are trustworthiness, neatness, loyalty, and a satisfactory scholastic average. Members of the office staff are Nan Sue Brown, Anne Campbell, Jean Conkling, Nancy Desilets, Steve Dyke, Gloria McQuesten, Luisa Monte, Pauline Page, Sally Patter- son, Susan Pine, Meri Skeels, Beverly Wheeler, Nancy Williams, Jerry Ann Wood.

Nan Sue Brown FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA THE Future Homemakers of America, known around our halls as the F. H. A., is one of our newer organizations. It has now completed its second year of life at MHS under the capable leadership of Carol Freeman as its esteemed president, Lorraine Ainsworth as her worthy veep, Ann Campbell as the treasurer who needs armored truck service, and Maureen Hud- son as the busy and efficient secretary. Any girl who has had at least one year of home ec is welcome to the group, pro- vided she has a yen for the finer things in life; namely homemaking and the desire to make a place for herself in her home and community. Outstanding programs of the year have included a speaker on mental health, an enlightening session on good groom- ing, a demonstration of the art of cake decorating, and finally a mother and daughter banquet at which the new offi- cers for the coming year were installed. r TWENTY-NINE ] Left to Right: Jerryann Wood. Dr. Chastney. Stephen Huttenlock ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE THE Assembly Committee has again completed a year of interesting and educational assemblies. This group is composed of three members of the Student Council, one from each of the three upper classes with the senior mem- ber serving as chairman. At the begin- ning of the school year this group meets with Dr. Chastney and plans the assem- blies for the coming year. The commit- tee receives suggestions and offers from groups wishing to present assembly pro- grams at MHS and also writes to speakers and companies which might present pro- grams of value to MHS students and fac- ulty. The exchange music assemblies with Spaulding High School, initiated this year, proved very successful, and we hope they will become an annual event. The music department provided the Thanks- giving assembly while the Masque was in charge of the Christmas one. MHS students participated in assemblies at the start and also at the close of the Curtis Magazine Drive, which proved even more successful this year in supplementing our Athletic Association funds. This year Jerry Ann Wood as chairman was assisted by Steve Huttenlock and Lee Bowman, who was absent when the group pictures were taken. I THIRTY JUNIOR VARSITY SPORTS JAYVEE FOOTBALL AS in previous years, our Jayvee foot- ball squad was in the able hands of Coach Gray Coane. The Jayvees, as well as the Varsity, were hampered by the Asian flu. The team, playing only two games this year, knocked off the St. Johnsbury Jayvees by a score of 18-7 but were subdued by a strong Lyndon “B” team 41-14. However, the Freshman team gained revenge in Lyndon by de- feating the Lyndon Freshmen to the tune of 13-6. Although the Jayvees split their two games, they acquired that valuable experience which is a prerequisite for a varsity player. JAYVEE BASKETBALL Again the charges of Coach Gray Coane came through with a winning sea- son. It isn’t easy to take a group of in- experienced players and fashion them in- to a winning team, but Coach Coane seems to have the secret formula. Carry- ing the load for the Jayvees this year were Rich Beauregard, Lee Hersey, Tibby Brown, and Larry LaFlam. Also seeing first team action were Jay Harding, John Bossi, Tom Hennebury, Justin Skirry and Ron Wissell. The team compiled a six- and-six record in league play. The boys lost their two games with both Burling- ton and Spaulding; they split with Essex and Cathedral and won two from Win- ooski and BFA. JAYVEE BASEBALL As the RECORD goes to press, our young aspiring Jayvee baseball candi- dates are working hard for a spot on the first team under the able coaching of Mr. Palermo. Next year we hope to see many of Coach Palermo’s boys jumping up to Coach Morrison’s varsity nine. The boys vying for positions on the Jayvee team are Ben Brown, Stan Austin, Bob Boyce, “Butch” Bressette, Peter Joslin, Leslie Pressey, Ken Ryan, John Hughes, John Bossi, Doug Martin, Dave Doyle, “Tibby” Brown, Steve Glass, Miles Prentice, Vic Fortna, Mike Gandley, Stuart Ross, Dave Savoie, Allen Granger, Dick Lane, Jim Dwinell, Steve Leonard, Bill Thompson, Ward Seguin, Jay Harding, Allen Lam- phere, Keith Johnson and Cameron Johnson.

Steve Adams VARSITY FOOTBALL A DISMAL prospect was presented to Coach George Brown at the initial practice for the 1957 football season. Many players of last year’s State Cham- pionship team had graduated and there were fewer than twenty boys out for the new season. But as usual Coach Brown brought the “very most” out of the indiv- idual players and welded together a fine team. This Montpelier football team certainly exceeded all expectations. At the start of the season many avid fans doubted if we would break even. Although hamp- ered by the Asian flu epidemic, which caused the cancellation of the Brattleboro game that would have decided the mythi- cal Vermont championship, MHS com- pleted the second undefeated season in the last two years, and as a result Mont- pelier and Brattleboro shared the state football title. Led by our senior stalwarts: Dick White, Dan Mathewrson, Wayne Emerson, Wendell Fisher, Gene Kennedy, Ken Langlois, Dwight Hayward and Cliff Hea- ton, the team compiled a 7 and 0 record. Behind the running of Emerson and Otis and the fierce line play of White and Mathewson, the Solons defeated both arch-rivals, Burlington (14-0) and Spaulding (20-13). Both Mathewson and White were chosen to play in the annual Shriners’ New Hampshire-Vermont game. Bob O’Grady, from St. Michael’s High School, practiced all season long with our team and helped chart the games on Saturday. As a reward for his efforts, he was also given a place on the Vermont Shrine team. In conclusion, our congratulations, along with our admiration, goes out to Coach Brown, Coach Coane, and Coach Morrison.

VARSITY BASKETBALL LATE in November members of the varsity and junior-varsity basketball teams began practice for the fast ap- proaching basketball team. Mr. Brown, after choosing the boys who he thought would be most capable of playing varsity ball, began to weld together into a team the individual talents of each one of them. When the season started, the Solons were figured to have one of the stronger teams in the Northern League. This team included Steve Goodwin and “Brownie ' Towle from the starting five of last year’s Northern League Co-Cham- pions. To fill in the spaces left by the graduating seniors, the Solons had two competent men in Cliff Heaton and Dick White. The last berth on the first team was ably filled by Norm Otis. Going into the Northern League sched- ule the Solons fared quite well, winning four and losing three. Then something— no one knows just what—happened, and the Solons couldn’t seem to get the ball through the hoop at the right time. The high scorer for the Solons this year was “Brownie” Towle with 263 points followed by Norm Otis with 197, Cliff Heaton with 170, Dick White with 153, and finally Steve Goodwin, the team’s leading rebounder, with 90 points.

Neverthless, the team showed up very well on these occasions under the guidance of their new coach, Mr. Palermo. First on the agenda for the team was the meet in Northfield on January 18th. The Solon skiers began the season with an excellent showing as “Buster” Adams won the slalom, and Dan Mathewson placed first in both the jumping and the cross country. In the district meet held in Lyndon- ville on January 25th, the Montpelier team showed fairly well against strong competition. In the jumping, Ben Brown placed eighth while Dan Mathewson held down the ninth spot. The star of the day, however, was “Buster” Adams. He placed third in the the slalom, thus quali- fying him for the State meet. As the sole Montpelier participant in this meet in Brattleboro, he proved himself as one of the best by placing fifth in the slalom and seventh in the downhill. The brief ski season of 1958 ended with the MHS Winter Carnival. Dan Mathewson placed third in the jumping, but Burlington skiers dominated the meet. As a team the Solon skiers placed third. [ THIRTY-FIVE ] VARSITY BASEBALL npHE outlook for the 1958 baseball A season is bright. The Solons have a strong crop of returning starters from their 1957 team, which finished second in the Northern League competition. The squad’s only problem is in the pitcher’s box because both of last year’s star hurlers, Andy Tomasi and Cliff Bailey, graduated. However, our crafty Coach Morrison has come up with three fine prospects in Rick Graham, Normie Otis, and Brownie Towle. These hurlers will have an added edge with the exper- ienced Richie Slayton behind the plate. The Solons are well stacked elsewhere with Brownie Towle at first, Cliff Heaton at second, Rick Graham at third, and A1 LaBounty at short. Wayne Emerson, Dick White, and Norm Otis are expected to handle the outfield positions. Others who are bound to see action are Rick Adams, Malcolm Fielder, Lee Hersey, Bob Kramer, Larry LaFlam and Jim Griffin. Our foxy coach believes that the Solons are in for a successful season. He told our reporter, “If we take every game, we’ll win the state championship!” 1958 Baseball Schedule Am-il 29 Winooski there May 2 Essex there May 6 Cathedral Home May 9 B. F. A.

Sev- eral returning lettermen and a few new- comers seemed to show that our track team would give any school competition in the long run, the short run, and the field events. Some of the more promis- ing turnouts for practice were Dan Math- ewson, the Vermont high jump champion 1956-1957; Steve Goodwin, an ace in the 440 and broad jump; Dwight Hayward, a challenging half-miler; Wayne Emerson and Norm Otis, our speedy sprinters; Pete Teachout, a steady miler; and Dick Blanchard, our strong man in the field events. Other thinclads who should help support the team’s scoring column are Don Towle, “Spike” D’Arthenay, Alan Wilcox, Rick Graham, and several fast- improving freshmen. Under the capable supervision of Coaches Brown and Mathewson we are sure that the thinclads will bring home many a track and field honor to MHS.

A. has thrived under the capable direction of Mrs. Gandley, the girls’ physical education in- structor, and Gloria McQuesten, G. A. A. president. The year started off with the tradit- ional initiation. Many of our freshmen anxiously awaited initiation day so that they might join the distinguished ranks of the G. A. A. After a few weeks of archery and field hockey, a volleyball tournament was held. Everyone was allowed to enter the tour- nament and many of our members par- ticipated in it. After volleyball, a basketball tourna- ment was held with competition between the classes. As there was a large turn- out for basketball, it was necessary to split the freshmen, sophomores, and jun- iors into two teams each. The winners of the tournament this year were the seniors, who took first place. The juniors and sophomores tied for second place. In February the swimming enthusiasts set out for Burlington for a swim in the Y. M. C. A. pool. Also, our G. A. A. athletes challenged the Plainfield girls to a basketball game, and although we were beaten, everyone had a wonderful time. Softball and bowling brought to an end another very successful season.

Betty Bly GIRLS AND ON the Sunday immediately following the close of school in June, 1957, six boys of the junior class traveled to Nor- wich University in Northfield to begin a hectic week which never let up until the last assembly on the following Saturday morning. The MHS representatives to Green Mountain Boys State were Steve Bliss, Steve Dyke, Bill Edwards, Dwight Hayward, Dan Mathewson and Pete Teachout. These delegates spent seven busy days engaged in elections, sports, speech-making, and forming new friend- ships. At the same time that the boys were establishing themselves at Norwich, three MHS girls, Betty Bly, Ann Conkling, and Bonnie Holden, were beginning the same BOYS STATE feverish program at Green Mountain Girls State at Vermont College in Mont- pelier. The purpose of these meetings is to educate the young men and women of Vermont in the various processes of gov- erning a working democracy. Toward this end the representatives elected all the officers and public servants of the state. Both the Senate and House of Represen- tatives convened and voted on bills. The events of the week culminated with the Inaugural Ball and the presentation of awards on the following morning. When it was all over, all nine of the MHS students agreed that it had been a re- warding week and that they had learned much while having a wonderful time.

Two new and year-long projects undertaken success- fully by the Student Council were the proctoring of the noon-hour study hall, it- self instituted by the council, and a vig- orous campaign to “Keep MHS Beauti- ful”. Under the capable leadership of Luisa Monte, president, the council worked hard to be of real service to the entire student body and the faculty of the school. Re- sults of this were the establishing of noon-hour dancing, guiding parents and visitors at both the school open-houses, and the sponsoring of the fund raising magazine drive. With an eye to the future and to con- stant improvement, the Student Council sent several of its members to the Ver- mont State Student Council Convention and to the New England Student Council Convention. Each time members brought back new ideas and information about ways to improve the participation of all members in student council work. To Mrs. Small the Council wishes to express its gratitude for her suggestions, guidance and advice. t FORTY-FOUR ] First Row: P. Lane, L. Garcia. J. Coburn. I. Gomez. B Hensen. R. Garfield. J. Wood.

A buzz of excitement and sus- pense spreads through the halls. Soon a clamorous group of boys and girls is seen thronging around a table in the main lobby watiing to exchange their thin dimes for Solonscopes. Why is the paper so popular? Sandy Laird and Peter Teaehout, editors-in- chief, can tell you it’s the hard work of all staff members during the after-school hours. Their aim is to present the school news in a peppy and interesting way and to uncover talent hidden mostly behind shy and uncertain freshmen. The page most students turn to first is the feature. Why? Is it the clever articles written by some of the gifted junior girls, or is it the humorous and witty poetry coming from the pens of freshmen? Maybe it’s the informative and clever gossip column. However, the person responsible for the enthusiastic acceptance of this vital part of the paper is Pat Irving, features editor. Boys’ sports editor, Cliff Heaton, and girls’ sports editor, Cynthia Mix, have done a commendable job this year in pre- senting the latest sports news in an in- teresting manner. Jerry Ann Wood, news editor, is qualified to tell you all the latest scoops. Gathering and editing news about the social events, Masque productions, con- certs, Student Council doings, and the Forensic Society’s triumphs is part of her job. Last to be mentioned but not least in importance are the typists, the business manager, Robert Garfield; exchange edi- tor, Betty Cotey; circulation manager, Luisa Monte; and photographer, Bruce Henson.

Under the direc- tion of Miss Branch, faculty advisor, and Meri Skeels, editor, the staff members have cooperated and collaborated to pro- duce what we hope is the biggest and best RECORD ever. Writing copy is not our only problem; scheduling pictures, plan- ning dummies, and earning money are also just a part of our year’s work. We are expert book-cover salesmen, advertis- ing solicitors, and on the nights of home basketball games we entice all to patron- ize our candy stand. Of course we could talk ourselves right off this page, but we’ll go to the next page. However, we do hope that you enjoy this yearbook, and from all the seniors on the staff the best of luck to you when you publish yours next year. It’s really something to treasure,—so do a good job — YOUR BEST. [ FORTY-SEVENJ First Row: Jane Gibson, Larry Hoch, Don Adams, Miss Murray, Bruce Richardson. Linda Mereness.

Trlna Edwards MHS FORENSIC SOCIETY THE Montpelier High School Foren- sic Society has just successfully completed its second active year in the fields of debate and public speaking. The top achievement of the year was the tak- ing of second place in both the novice and varsity divisions of the State Tourna- ment with Don Adams receiving an hon- orable mention in the individual awards. The varsity debate team is composed of Bill Edwards, Linda Mereness, Bruce Richardson, Larry Hoch and Dave Smith. The novice debaters are A1 LaBounty, Miles Prentice, Jane Gibson, Don Towle, Katrina Edwards and Mike Brainerd. Another major tournament entered by both novice and varsity teams was sponsored by Dartmouth College last December. The varsity also took a week- end trip to the University of New Hamp- shire for an important tournament there. At both Dartmouth and U. N. H. the Montpelier teams had outstanding records. At Montpelier’s own tournament in March the Associated Industries of Ver- mont started a rotating trophy for the winning varsity team. Although Keene, New Hampshire, won the tournament, MHS placed first in the novice division, however. Three members of the club entered the local American Legion oratorical con- test from which Linda Mereness went on to place third in the state competition. At the State Speech Festival Don Adams, Bill Edwards, and A1 LaBounty achieved several individual honors. These are the highlights of a busy and success- ful season for debate, oratory, and extem- poraneous speaking for the MHS de- baters. t FORTY-EIGHT ] First Rcnr: R. Burley. D. Smith. J. Dwinell. R.

More than ever before, members came forward to sign up for committees and try out for parts in Saint Joan, Charley's Aunt, the Christmas play “One Gift,” and the one- act condensation of Taming of the Shrew. The year's biggest event for Masque members was the New England Drama Festival, which was held this year at Montpelier High School. Since twelve schools from all over New England pre- sented their prize-winning one-act plays, the amount of planning and organizing involved was prodigious, but under the guidance of Miss Beals and the planning committee the Festival schedule was smoothly and successfully carried out. At the end of this active and pleasant year nearly every member has gained many points to his credit, and all mem- bers are well on their way to earning high-point awards. Officers Betty Bly, president; Bob Nims, vice-president; Ann Conkling, secretary, and Ruth Cleveland, treasurer deserve much credit for such a successful year. f FORTY-NINE ] CLASS WILL We, the Class of 1958 of Montpelier High School, leave to our school all the rules, regulations, and senior privileges that they may again be enforced and obeyed.

Polly Hall, Ruth Har- ris, Irene Martin, Carolyn Silloway, Pam King, Joan Teachout, Janet Amidon, and Barbara Robinson are the girls that com- prise this “little varsity” squad. We are looking forward to the new ideas and routines of next year’s twirlers. We would like to congratulate Sid Lawson for his leadership as Drum Ma- jor this year and for giving the band’s novelty numbers that extra special touch. I FIFTY-FOUR ] First Row: Mary Alburger.

Ronald Wissell FRESHMAN CHORUS THIS year, with more boys than usual participating, the Freshman chorus has been one of the best we’ve seen dur- ing our four years at MHS. Because of the large number of try-outs, rehearsal periods for two groups have been sched- uled: one for the girls which meets twice a week and another for the boys which meets once a week. Under the direction of Miss Newton, the Freshman Chorus made its first ap- pearance at the Montpelier Public Schools concert in the fall and its second at the Thanksgiving assembly. The chorus members concentrate on improving their technique in preparation for the upper- class choruses which they will augment next year.

Alice Ricker GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB THIS year the Girls’ Glee Club has been one of the most able and com- petent ones the school has known. These musically-inclined sophomore, junior, and senior girls have turned their talents to a repertoire which includes songs by Brahms, Schumann, Handel, Walton and Jean Berger, as well as several folk bal- lads. They have sung before appreciative audiences at our Thanksgiving assembly, Spaulding High assembly, Vermont Jun- ior College, Dusting Off Montpelier, the MHS Winter Concert and several church and civic groups. Accompanied by Ann Conkling, president of the Choruses, and directed by Miss Newton, supervisor of music, this group meets during the fourth period on Mondays and Thursdays where they work for both the experience and enjoyment of concert singing.

Gerald Benedict, Stanley Sumner Center: Miss Newton BOYS’ CHORUS j ITH the loss of several of the best voices via last year’s graduating class, the members of the Boys’ Chorus found themselves having to rely on under- classmen to help fill the spaces. How- ever, with much hard work and determin- ation on the part of both Miss Newton and the boys, this group soon became a solidly blended chorus. One has only to see and hear them to realize that their hard work has contributed to instead of subtracting from their joy of singing. Combining a taste for music and a talent for singing, the Chorus has pro- ficiently performed music by Palestrina, Liadoff, Lewandowski, Wagner, and Vir- gil Thompson. Among their specialties have been “Waltzing Matilda”, “De Ani- mals A-comin’,” “A Moonlit Night”, “Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho”, and “Fire Down Below”.

If you were listening to a rehearsal or concert of the MHS Mixed Chorus, chances are that you could hear both, for the repertoire of this versatile group ranges from the serious classics to the best in light music. Performing interesting works from the standard literature of great music, they have sung at the Christmas Concert, the MHS Winter Concert, Vermont College, Winooski Valley Teachers' Convention, Spaulding High School, Main Street School, Winooski Valley Music Festival, and at our Baccalaureate and Commence- ment. The senior chorus members who were chosen for the All-State Chorus at the Vermont Music Festival were Don Adams, Jerry Benedict, Ann Conkling, Nancy Desilets, Bill Edwards, Carol Edson, Sid Lawson, Pat Martin, and Judy Welch. The officers for all the MHS choral groups were president, Ann Conkling; vice-president, Bob Nims; secretary, Sue Welch; treasurer, Isabel Gomez; ward- robe mistress, Judy Welch and assistant Virginia Nelson; business manager, Carol Edson and assistant Ann Johnston; librarians, Carole Freeman and Jerry Benedict.

You’re right! — It’s the Band on the job again. Starting the year with many new un- derclassmen members, the Band under the capable direction of Mr. Mix was soon formed into the fine musical organization of which the students and faculty of Montpelier High are traditionally so proud. As in past years the band sported a large and varied repertoire that in- cluded new pieces, old favorites, pop tunes and novelty numbers. Besides never missing a home basketball or foot- ball game, they played several concerts in Montpelier, staged an exchange con- cert with Knowlton, Quebec, and joined with Spaulding High School in a joint concert. Several members attended the Winooooski Valley Music Festival and others participated in the Vermont Music Festival as members of the All-State Band. Those attending the Festival were Steve Dyke, Steve Goodwin, Cliff Heaton, Sandra Laird and Meri Skeels. t SIXTY-TWO ] “Pres” I )wight M. Hayward Class Salutatorian (4); Class President (4); Football J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3); Ski Team Manager (3, 4), Letter (3); Track J. V. (1, 2), Letter (3); Pro-Merito (4); Silver M (4); Solon- scope (4); Boys State (3); Ticket Squad (1, 4). Dwight will be quite at home at Dartmouth — he likes to import his girls. Our “brain” is one of the mainstays of the football and track teams. In his junior year he was honored by being awarded the Harvard book. The future looks bright for Deevvhite, and we know he will someday be one of Dartmouth’s most illustrious alumns. Ann M. Skeels “Meri’' Class Vice-President (4); G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), Secretary (2), 50 Point Award (1), 100 Point Award (2); Freshman Chorus (1); Band (1, 2, 3, 4); All-State Band (4); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), “She Stoops To Conquer” (3), “Saint Joan” (4); Record Board (2, 3, 4), Assistant Editor (3), Editor (4); Junior Prom Committee Chairman (3). The busiest girl in our class, Meri showed her acting talent in Shaw’s Saint Joan. She also played the lead in the tragicomedy of putting out this year’s RECORD. Her sparkling personality and friendly “Hello!” are appreciated by all who know her. Patricia L. Irving “Pati” Class Secretary (4), G. A. A. (3), Masque (3, 4), Pro-Merito (4), Girls’ Glee Club (3), Silver M (4), Solonscope (3, 4), Record Board (3, 4). Pat came to us during her junior year from Ellsworth, Maine. Since her arrival she has been very active in extra- curricular activities; her chief interest being the Solonscope. Pat’s charm and sparkling personality have won her many friends. Donald T. Towle “Whitey” Class Treasurer (4); Baseball J. V. (1); Forensic Society (4); Band (1, 2, 3); Pro-Merito (4); Record Board (4). Are you having budget problems? Then the man for you to see is Whitey, for his training as senior class treas- urer marks him as one of unqualified financial ability. Next year’s Forensic Society and the Record Board will certainly miss his knack of clearly organizing and expressing his ideas. We know Harvard will appreciate them. G. Donald Adams “Don” Forensic Society (2, 3, 4), Novice Team (2. 3), Varsity (4), Vice- President (4); Freshman Chorus (1), Boys’ Chorus (2, 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (2, 3, 4); All-State Chorus (4); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), Pin (4), “Saint Joan” (4), “Smokey Mountain” (3). What would we do without Don in debate? The Meth- odist Youth Fellowship will certainly miss his custom con- vert next year. Don is one of the few senior boys who will be remembered in chorus for his sparkling wit and his talent. For further information, see Jane. “Sandy” G. A. A. (2, 3, 4); Pro-Merito (4); Solonscope (2, 3, 4); Record Board (4); Style Show (2). This cute gal hails from East Montpelier. Naturally curly hair, bubbling personality, and dimples are her hall- marks. A basketball enthusiast, she has helped her team win many games. Let’s be “Frank”, no wonder a certain junior boy is very interested in her. Henry C. Baldwin Masque (1); Pro-Merito (4). One of the boys from East Montpelier, Henry is often seen “hot-rodding” around in a blue Studebaker. A very popular chap, he can usually be found in the midst of a car- ful of girls. Hen, remember the day one of those girls lost her hamster in your car, and you were late for work? “Liz” Freshman Chorus (1), F. H. A. (3), Masque (1), Band (1, 2, 3), Style Show (2). Mention food or chocolate ice cream and Liz will be there! Won’t you give us your secret formula, Liz, on how to stay so slim? Since she’s far from conceited we’ll tell you that she’s a good dancer, the life of any party, and a nice person to know. She will be missed around the halls of MHS next year. Sandra L. Adams Gerald R. Benedict ‘‘Jerry” Freshman Chorus (1); Boys’ Chorus (2, 3, 4); Mixed Chorus (2, 3, 4); Librarian (1, 4); “Smoky Mountain” (3); All-State Chorus (4); Masque (2, 3). Jerry’s interest lies in the hill(s). He’s a very friendly guy who is adept at the spur-of-the-moment joke. He is very active in the M. Y. F. and is also an enthusiastic ham radio operator. Often he is seen cruising the streets of Montpelier in his black Chevy. “Chuck” Football J. V. (2); Ski Team Manager (2); Freshman Chorus (1); Masque (1); Ticket Squad (2). Here is our lady-killer deluxe, whose territory includes Waterbury, Northfield, and Barre. Parties always perk up when Chuck is around. By the way, Charlie, who souped up that beautiful Ford — you or your father? Stephen N. Bliss Football J. V. (1, 2); Basketball J. V. (1, 2); Basketball Manager (3, 4); Class President (2); Freshman Chorus (1); Pro-Merito (4); Silver M (4); Record Board (2, 3, 4); Junior Prom Committee Chair- man (3); Boys State (3); Ticket Squad (4). Need any managing? Steve’s your man, especially if you’re planning to organize a team. He always has a good word to say about someone and is ever ready to help out— certainly he is never Ruth-less. The Record Board will glad- ly recommend Steve to anyone looking for an able sports editor. “Pat” G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4); F. H. A. (3); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (4), Mixed Chorus (4), Masque (3). This tall, sophisticated senior is often seen driving around in a beautiful blue ’57 Ford. We appreciate Pat’s good taste in clothes, her smile, and her friendly “Hi!” for everyone. She, in turn, seems to appreciate a certain senior boy. Charles P. Billado Elizabeth R. Bly “Betty” Class Valedictorian (4); G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (1), 100 Point Award (2); Class Vice-President (3); Freshman Chorus (1); Orchestra (3, 4), All-State Orchestra (4); Band (1, 2, 3, 4); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), Pin (3), Letter (4), President (4), Saint Joan” (4); Pro-Merito (4); Silver M (4); Record Board (2); Girls State (3). Although Betty was voted the most studious girl in our class, she is also the most versatile. What's the secret of her success ? Since she's apt to be so modest about it, we'll tell you — serious studying and enthusiastic school spirit. Nan S. Brown “Nan Sue G. A. A. (1, 2, 3), 50 Point Award (1), 100 Point Award (2); Cheer- leading J. V. (2), Varsity (3, 4); Ski Club (1, 4); Ski Team (4); Class Secretary (2); Freshman Chorus (1); Masque (1, 2); Office Staff (2, 4); Record Board (4). Here's the gal to call upon when you want something done. Somehow she seems to be able to muster that extra pep and be cheerful at the same time when everyone else is wondering just how things will be finished. Needless to say, she's greatly appreciated by the office staff. Success to you at Champlain College. Ruth E. Cleveland G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), Secretary (3), Vice-President (4); Class Vice- President (2); Freshman Chorus (1); Orchestra (3, 4), All-State Orchestra (1, 3, 4); Band (2, 3, 4); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), Pin (3), Letter (4), ‘‘She Stoops to Conquer” (3); Pro-Merito (.4); Silver M (4); Record Board (2, 4). Where Ruthy is there’s always laughter and good fun. An experienced and able member of the twirling squad, she's always out in front of the music. She's also seen on the front seat of that white and blue Pontiac! Loretta M. Clough “Tootie” Although Tootie seems quiet, if you look closely you will find that she has mischief in those eyes. Friendliness, an enchanting smile, and a pleasant personality all add up to the wredding bells which, we understand, will be ringing for Tootie and her fellow in the near future. Ann S. Conkling G. A. A. (1, 2, 3), 50 Point Award (1), 100 Point Award (1); Assembly Committee (2); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls' Glee Club (2, 3, 4); Mixed Chorus (2, 3, 4), Pendant (4), Vice-President (3), President (4), All-State Chorus (4); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), Pin (2), Letter (4), Secretary (4), “She Stoops to Conquer” (2), “Curious Savage” (3); Pro-Merito (4); Silver M (4); Student Council (1, 2); Record Board (2, 3); Girls State (3); Junior Prom Music Committee Chairman (3). Always willing to share her musical talent and ability, Ann has contributed greatly to MHS as well as to the Class of 58. Next year she will be at Oberlin and we’ll be proud to say that we knew her when ... David C. Cook Dave is one of Elvis Presley’s most avid fans. His fav- orite pastime is playing basketball, and, of course, he plays a very good game. Dave is another one of our classmates who is going into the service, for he is planning to join the Navy this summer. Elizabeth G. Cotey “Betti'' G. A. A. (2); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls' Glee Club (2); Masque (2, 3, 4); Pro-Merito (4); Solonscope (3, 4); Record Board (3, 4); Teen- Age Book Club Chairman (4). Here’s the only one of our class brave enough to tackle Latin IV. Needless to say, she’s come through with flying colors. She drives the “coolest coupe ever”, and her left hand sports a sparkling diamond. She doesn’t need much prodding to relate Rocky’s fine qualities, which are legion. Margaret S. Dalton “Maggie” Future Homemakers of America (3). What would the Calso Cab Company do without their girl-Friday? Perhaps someday we’ll hear her voice at La Guardia dispatching the air liners. On and off duty, Maggie makes many friends with her sincerity and helpfulness. Katheleen M. Daniels Kay Chorus at Cape Elizabeth, Maine, (1, 3). Kay came back to us this year from Maine, and we must say that she is Montpelier's gain. Tall and slender, Kay is our idea of a very pretty gal. Hands off, boys. Notice that she also belongs to the “chain gang”. Guess we know where she’ll be going after graduation. You guessed it — Back to Maine! Elizabeth R. Davis “Betty” Freshman Chorus (1). Attractive, good-natured, and talkative is Betty. Her efficiency, helpfulness, and ability to get along with all types of people will certainly be appreciated by her fellow office workers. And we mustn’t forget to mention the three B’s— Betty, Bob, and Barre—when we speak of our future secre- tary. Nancy L. Desilets “Desi G. A. A. (1); Mixed Chorus (3, 4), All-State Chorus (3, 4); Band (1, 2, 3, 4); Masque (1); Office Staff (2, 3, 4); Pro-Merito (4); Silver M (4); Solonscope (1); Record Board (2, 3, 4). Working efficiently in the office, Nancy is Mrs. Hersey's right-hand gal. Among the people who will miss her next year are the chorus members, the flute section of the band, and the patrons of the Kellogg-Hubbard Library where she is always ready and willing to be of service. Alfreda E. Drake “Freda” Freshman Chorus (1); Style Show (2). Wherever there are fun and people, you’ll find Freda. Specifically, she might be at Grange meeting, working at Fishman’s or learning new rock ’n roll dance steps. We envy her pleasant smile, her beautiful hair, and her study hall techniques. She certainly has a way with the faculty! Morris E. Drew “Moe” Football J. V. (1, 2); Baseball J. V. (1, 2). Voted best looking by his classmates, Moe is an under- classman’s idol. They are really impressed by his terrific personality and flashing smile which have won him many friends. Always a clown, Moe manages to say the wrong thing at just the right time. Keep going, Moe! Stephen H. Dyke Steve' Ski Club (1, 2, 3), Varsity (1, 2, 3); Orchestra (3); Band (1, 2, 3, 4), All-State Band (4); Office Staff (4); Pro-Merito (4); Silver M (4); Solonscope (4); Freshman Reception Co-Chairman (4); Boys State (3); Junior Prom Co-Chairman (3). Steve, who is one of the mainstays of our band with his golden trumpet, is also talented in many other fields . . . horsemanship . . . skiing . . . socializing . . . and lately, girls. Here’s to our future M.D. All the success in the world to you, Steve. Carol Edson G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4). 50 Point (1); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2. 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (2, 3, 4), All-State Chorus (4), Pendant (4), Assistant Business Manager (3), Business Manager ( 4), “Smokey Mountain” (3); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), Pin (3), Letter (4), Treasurer (4), “Saint Joan” (4); Pro-Merito (4); Silver M (4); Solonscope (2, 3); Record Board (3, 4); Junior Prom Refreshment Committee Chair- man (3). Level-headed, competent, and poised, Carol always seems to know how and when she’s going to accomplish everything most efficiently. She has contributed much to our extra-curricular program as well as to her church group. It’s no wonder she’s everyone’s friend. “Biir Forensic Society (3, 4), Novice Team (3), Varsity (4), Vice-President (3) ; Boys’ Chorus (4), Mixed Chorus (4), All-State Chorus (4); Masque (3, 4), Pin (4), “Saint Joan” (4); Pro-Merito (4); Silver M (4) ; Record Board (4); Boys State (3); Track Varsity (3). Here’s our English genius and killer of College Boards. Bill has the walk and talk of the proverbial Vermonter. His extra-curricular activities seem to center around debate and Masque. Good luck in college, Bill! William P. Edwards Doria J. Eldred “Dee” Girls’ Glee Club (2); Future Homemakers of America (3). This gal can be seen coming to school in ’58 Chevrolets —a different color for every day in the week. On nights when Dorla isn’t working, you may find her dancing up a storm in Wrightsville. Much luck and happiness in the fu- ture, Dee. Wayne B. Emerson Football J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Captain (4); Baseball J. V. (1), Varsity (2), Letter (2); Track Varsity (2), Letter (2). Better known by his close friends as “Beetle”, Wayne is one of our star football heroes as well as an underclassman lady-killer. By the way, whatever happened to your mus- tache, Wayne? We’ll miss him when he and his family move to Florida this summer. Come back often, Wayne! Malcolm W. Fielder “Male” Baseball Varsity (4), Letter (4). One of the friendliest guys in our class is this blond, blue-eyed senior. Because Male is always easy going and happy-go-lucky, his car is the favorite of five senior girls during the noon hour. With all his baseball ability, it’s a shame he never tried out for the varsity. Wendell D. Fisher “Stub” Football J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3), Captain (4); Base- ball J. V. (1, 2). Here’s the popular guy with scads of nicknames such as Winkle and Wendy — just to mention a couple. A little guy with a big heart, Wendell is another of our outstanding football players. He’s often seen in the vicinity of the air- port — Kay lives up there, you know. “Fitz'’ Douglas R. FitzPatrick Class President (3); Band (1, 2, 3, 4), All-State Band (3, 4); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), Pin (3); Pro-Merito (4), Projectionist (1, 2, 3, 4); Silver M (4). Doug is the man with the aversion to going steady, American cars, and cigarettes. He will always be remem- bered for the hospitality shown at his camp during the warmer months of the year. We wonder which girl he will be importing for college weekends next year. Kenneth W. Fowler, Jr. “Ken This blond fellow is such a quiet boy that he’d never tell you he’s another one of our classmates in the Army Re- serves. The third period P. A. D. class counts as lost each day that they don’t hear his deep laugh and chuckle. A studious person, Ken can always be found in the library dur- ing the noon hours giving the books a whirl. Manuel M. Garcia, Jr. “Nolo Though Nolo was voted the quietest boy in the Class of ’58, we hear through the grapevine that he is not so quiet outside of school. Is that right, Bruce? A happy-go-lucky, altruistic fellow, he always has a carload of friends putting around with him in his ’55 Plymouth. His friendliness and seriousness of purpose are certainly appreciated by all of us. Robert A. Garfield “Bob15 Masque (1, 2, 3); Solonscope (2, 3, 4), Business Manager (3, 4). Here’s another one of the boys who hail from East Montpelier. We hear from the grapevine that Bobby just loved English class this year. How about that, Bob? We also hear that he cuts quite a figure on the East Montpelier ice. Yes, Bob? He seems quite busy this year managing the 8olonscope and a certain junior girl. Richard J. Gidney “Dick” Football J. V. (1); Freshman Chorus (1), Boys’ Chorus (2, 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (2, 3, 4), “Smokey Mountain” (3). Obliging, congenial, friendly and modest, Dick is one of our favorite fellows. Are you looking for him? There he goes in Don A’s green convertible. In his more serious mo- ments he’s studious, conscientious and still modest about his abilities. Best of luck to a great guy! Beverly A. Goodell “Bev” Although Bev appears to be quiet and shy, don’t let this exterior fool you. A “real clown” and a terrific gal, she has made many friends in her four years at Montpelier High school. Her after-school hours are spent working at Mc- Lellan’s store. There you’ll find that her first and last initials stand for Busy Girl. Stephen B. Goodwin “Steve” Football J. V. (1, 2); Basketball J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3); Track Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3); Assembly Committee (3); Student Council (1, 2, 3, 4); Band (1, 2, 3, 4); Solonscope (2). Steve, our basketball and track star, is often seen with a short, redhaired cheerleader. His experience on Student Council should help him to be a great success at Vermont Academy next year. Thanks for all the chuckles in speech class, Steve! Sally M. Greene “Fred” G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), Freshman Representative (1), 50 Point Award (2) , 100 Point Award (2), 200 Point Award (2); Band (1, 2, 3. 4), Head Twirler (2, 3, 4); Masque (1. 2, 3, 4), Pin (2).

Our head twirler and talented art editor was chosen Miss Junior Vermont. Her personality and acting ability have enabled her to star in many Masque productions. A witty conversationalist, she is often seen with Pat and Lisa. “Snow shoes” Janies M. Griffin Basketball J. V. (1, 2); Football J. V. (1, 2); Baseball J. V. (1, 2); Varsity (4), Letter (4); Boys’ Chorus (2), Mixed Chorus (2), Fresh- man Chorus (1); Ticket Squad (2, 3). Jim is as casual as can be and never at a loss for words. He’s always good for a joke and possesses an easy-going sense of humor. An avid sports fan, Jim’s favorite team sport is baseball. His future interests center around forestry and or the armed services. J Barbara M. Griggs “Barb” Future Homemakers of America (4); Style Show (2). This attractive girl has beautful wavy hair and is an artist at sewing. If you can’t distinguish between the clothes she makes and the ones she buys, you just don’t ap- preciate good dressmaking. Her friendliness and ambition will make her future bright. R. Douglas Hamilton “Doug' Football J. V. (1), Ticket Squad (2). Here’s the most talkative class clown that MHS has seen in many a year. Doug is chief river pilot for the North Branch Navigation Company. Doug is seen and heard not only in classes but more often at the basketball and football games. Susan A. Harrington Sue” Forensic Society (2, 3, 4), Varsity (4), Letter (3); Future Home- makers of America (3); Freshman Chorus (1). Girls’ Glee Club (4), Mixed Chorus (4); Masque (1); Solonscope (1); Record Board (1). Sue is one of the quieter members of the Liberty Street gang. Hood College and Don seem to be her favorite topics of conversation. Although small in stature, we know she’ll be a big success in whatever she undertakes. Clifton N. Heaton “Chop” Football J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3); Basketball Varsity (2, 3, 4), Letter (2); Baseball Varsity (1, 2, 3, 4), Letter (1); Band (1, 2, 3, 4), All-State Band (4); Pro-Merito (4); Silver M (4); Solonscope (3, 4). You name the sport; Cliff is in it. An all-around star, Cliff was voted the most talented member of the senior class. Nancy is already making plans for the Hamilton College Homecoming Weekend. Bruce I. Henson Boys' Chorus (4); Orchestra (2, 3, 4), All-State Orchestra (4); Band (1, 2, 3, 4); Projectionist (1), Solonscope (2, 3, 4). One of the Berlin Hill gang, Bruce can often be seen taking pictures from the back of Don’s Plymouth. Quiet and unassuming, he manages to stay on the right side of the faculty. Dear Bruce: Is photography a business or your hobby? Sincerely yours, The Bureau of Internal Revenue. James A. Herschel “Jim” Ski Club (1, 3. 4), Ski Team Varsity (1, 3, 4); Track J. V. (1); Masque (1, 4); Ticket Squad (1, 2, 3, 4). Jim’s favorite wearing apparel is ski clothes and an Ivy- league plaster cast. Tell us, are you still stowing away in Dwight’s trunk for your rides to Barre, Jim? We also heard that St. Lawrence University is your next major stop. Good luck! John H. Hill, Jr. Football J. V. (1); Junior Prom Clean-Up Committee Chairman (3). As chief mechanic for Ghiringhelli’s Gang, Johnny ad- vocates a two-mile drag strip. We’ve seen him eyeing the school parking lot. Is that what you have in mind, John? His winning of the Safe Driving Contest attests to his ability to maneuver anything with four wheels. Good luck to you, Johnny! Ronald J. Holmes Ron’s favorite hobbies are hunting and fishing — he’s a really all-around sportsman. He is also very active in the National Guard and a “real fiend” on all guns. Though he’s not very talkative, Ron’s heels clicking down the corridor will let you know he’s coming. John B. Jensen Johnny can often be heard rattling into the school yard with his 1902 Ford truck. During the noon hours he “gives his all” toward achieving his principal ambition—being a member of the team which can defeat the faculty in the intra-mural volleyball league. Next year we will miss his friendly company and his rather dry sense of humor. Gene R. Kennedy “G. B.” Football J .V. (2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3); Baseball J. V. (1). This likable character was one of our top football play- ers during our last two winning years. He is also noted for his witty remarks and friendly nature. This winter, Gene took up a new sport — skiing at Mad River. In his black Chevy he travels everywhere in all kinds of weather. Re- member that trip to Randolph one snowy night, Gene? Sandra J. Laird “Issimo” Ski Team Varsity (1, 2, 3, 4); G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4). Treasurer (3), 50 Point Award (1), 100 Point Award (1), 200 Point Award (2); Band (1, 2, 3, 4), Masque (1, 2. 3, 4). Pin (2), Letter (4), The Little Dog Laughed (1), Nobody Sleeps (1), Dear Ruth (2), She Stoops to Conquer (2), Sorry, Wrong Number” (3); Solonscope (2, 3, 4), Editor (4); Record Board (2, 3, 4). Issimo is a rose among thorns in physics class. A look at her extra-curricular record shows success is hers for the trying. Perhaps that’s why she has no time for going steady. Right, Iss? “Tiger” Kenneth V. Langlois Football J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3); Baseball J. V. (2); Track J. V. (3). This “Tiger” is as friendly as a kitten! Ken has a dry sense of humor and a friendly personality, don't you agree, Susie? A white convertible in the summer, a Hudson in the winter, football, basketball, and Susie all-year-round make up Ken’s schedule. What do you suppose he does with his free time? Sidney F. Lawson, Jr. ‘Sid Freshman Chorus (1). Boys’ Chorus (2, 3, 4). Mixed Chorus (2, 3, 4), All-State Chorus (4), “Smokey Mountain” (3); Band (1, 2, 3, 4), Drum Major (2, 3, 4), Business Manager (4); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), Pin (4), “Dear Ruth” (2), “Saint Joan” (4), She Stoops to Conquer” (3). Here's to our tall, dignified drum major who puts the band through its marching tactics and has also delighted band concert audiences with his narrations of the novelty numbers! He’s also an expert in Masque matters. We cer- tainly hope the class of '59 can find someone to replace him. Sandra J. Leonard “Sandy Freshman Chorus (1); Pro-Merito (4); Style Show (2). Sandy is a member of the local union of the “Chain Gang”. We think Brian is a “real lucky” guy. Her cute smile and affable manner have brought her many friends. Even Henry couldn’t be too cross with her although her ham- ster was running loose in his car! W. Douglas Lindsay, Jr. “Chief Football J. V. (1, 2); Basketball J. V. (1, 2); Track Manager (2), Letter (2); Basketball Assistant Manager (3), Letter (3); Masque (4); Pro-Merito (4); Silver M (4); Student Council (3, 4), Record Board (2, 3, 4); Junior Prom Invitations Committee Chairman (3); Ticket Squad (1, 4). Doug was elected by his class as the boy who has done the most for MHS. However, he still finds time for trips to Clarendon Avenue. Being active on Student Council and general chairman of the New England Drama Festival are two of his many extra curricular activities. Need we say more? Barb Barbara R. Lord Pro-Merito (4); Solonscope (4); Record Board (3, 4); Teen-Age Book Club Chairman (3). Do you have a private swimming pool? Barb is one of our lucky seniors who does. A quiet unassuming senior with the poise that underclassmen revere, Barb is the person whom journalistically inclined Solonscopers and Record Boards rely upon to see that things are ready when deadlines roll around. Vickie J. Lord “Vick Freshman Chorus (1); Masque (1, 2); Solonscope (4); Record Board (4); Style Show (2). Vick is fortunate in having a two-tone blue Chevrolet to motor around in. Wherever she goes, you can be certain that Lizzie and Rose will be with her. At present she’s busy preparing for her forthcoming trip to California. Good luck, Vick — all your friends will surely miss you. Patricia L. Martin U Pat Freshman Chorus (1), Girls' Glee Club (2, 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (2, 3, 4), Pendant (4), All-State Chorus (4), “Smokey Mountain” (3), Chorus Treasurer (3); Masque (1, 2, 4); Pro-Merito (4); Silver M (4); Solonscope (2, 3); Record Board (2, 3, 4); Advertising Manager (4); Freshman Reception Invitations Committee Chairman (4); G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4); Class Treasurer (3). Always co-operative and eager to help others, Pat has been active in extra-curricular activities as well as her church group. An avid basketball fan, a friendly smile, and an enthusiastic and cheerful worker all add up to describe our favorite classmate. Evidently Norwich agrees with us, too. Daniel L. Matheson, Jr. “Dan We have heard through the grapevine that Dan is very shy!! We can hardly believe it, but—. However, it’s no secret that cars are his hobby. Hailing from Riverton, Dan has a nice smile, pleasing personality and is liked by all his classmates. Owen D. Mathewson “Matt Football J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3); Ski Club (1, 2, 3, 4); Ski Team Varsity (2, 3, 4), Letter (3), Captain (4); Track J. V. (1), Varsity (2, 3, 4), Letter (2); Class Treasurer (1); Band (2, 3, 4); Silver M (4); Boys State (3). Our versatile athlete can often be seen warming up for football, skiing, and track by practicing with the “frisbee” team at noon. Danny’s saxaphone has certainly been a wel- come addition to our band during the past four years. Betty, did you ever think that Studebaker would make it through the winter ? Phillip M. Maynard “Zeb' Flip is a “real smart” character who claims to have received his name from his habit of flipping coins. His “real cool” sense of humor was finally properly recognized when the class elected him class clown. Flip always seems to dig up some “real crazy” coiffures which are good for a chuckle or two. Gloria E. McOuesten G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), Vice-President (3), President (4), 50 Point Award (1), 100 Point Award (2), 200 Point Award (3); Office Staff (4); Pro-Merito (4); Solonscope (3, 4); Masque (1); Freshman Chorus (1). If Connie Mack was “Mr. Baseball”, then Gloria is our “Miss G.A.A.” Basketball and volley ball tournaments as well as freshman initiations are managed without a hitch, but not without Gloria. She also helps to keep the office machinery running smoothly during the fourth period in the morning. Luisa S. Monte Lisa” Future Homemakers of America (3), Vice-President (3); Band (1, 2, 3, 4); Masque (1); Office Staff (4); Silver M (4); Student Council (1, 2, 3, 4), Secretary-Treasurer (2), Vice-President (3), President (4); Solonscope (2, 3, 4); Record Board (2, 3, 4), Assistant Business Manager (3), Business Manager (4); Freshman Chorus. Active in many extra-curricular activities, Lisa has held the school’s most coveted office, the Student Council presi- dency. With her infectious giggle and dark Spanish eyes she has won many friends during her years at MHS. Carol A. Morrison Solonscope (4). Although Carol has been with us only this year, she has made many friends. We feel as though we had always known her. She seems to have a skillful touch for everything she turns her hand to. She’s one of the few people whom we know that can operate the snack bar adding machine and answer questions simultaneously. Best of luck, Carol, and keep us posted on your future! Another one of our electronic experts, Sherwood is happiest when in mathematics or physics classes. Quiet, reserved and extremely patient, Sherwood is an excellent outdoor sportsman. That must be the secret of his success as a hunter, angler, and woodsman. We don’t know what his current electronic gadget is, but we’ll buy it when it’s on the market. Wayne K. Murray “Bub Football J. V. (2); Ticket Squad (2, 3, 4). A familiar face in Meri’s buggy every noon, Wayne has won many friends with his easy-going, friendly manner. Lately his white Ford has been seen about again after under- going—and surviving—a rough winter at the airport. Judy Nelson “ Jude G. A. A. (1, 2); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (1, 2, 3), Mixed Chorus (2, 3); Cheerleading J. V. (1), Varsity (2, 3). Judy was the first in our class to become a varsity cheerleader—and she’s one of the best! We appreciate her dependability and her willingness to pitch in and help when the going gets difficult. We’ll be looking for you in the papers sometime in August, Jude. Sherwood H. Morse Marilyn J. Nelson “Susie” G. A. A. (1); Cheerleading J. V. (1, 2); Future Homemakers of America (3); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls' Glee Club (2, 3); Record Board (2, 4); Style Show (2). Arranging her beautiful, long, blond hair in a different style for each day of the week must keep Susie busy. In fact, variety seems to be the spice of her life, considering her many wardrobes and the variety of cars she drives to school. With her friendly manner, she “Ken” go a long way into the future. Ralpha E. Newcity “Ralph G. A. A. (2); Future Homemakers of America (3. 4); Girls’ Glee Club (3, 4), Mixed Chorus (3, 4), “Smokey Mountain” (3); Masque (2, 3); Style Show (2). Ralpha is an ex-BFA student who came to MHS in her sophomore year. Her soprano voice has entertained at many variety shows and has been heard in the glee club and mixed choruses. Besides being able to sew many of her own clothes, Ralpha likes to cook. Her favorite recipe is “Stu”! Rebecca A. Newhall “Becky” Future Homemakers of America (3); Freshman Chorus (1); Style Show (2). This gal never runs out of pep and energy. She is full of fun and jokes and has a friendly “Hi!” for everyone. A hard worker in and out of school, Becky has won the respect and friendship of everyone who has come in contact with her. Good luck to you, Becky. You really deserve it. Rosemary O’Brien “Rosie” Future Homemakers of America (1); Freshman Chorus (1); Masque (1); Style Show (2). Rosemary O’Brien is always well-groomed and can be easily identified by her “laugh”. Rosie doesn’t talk much in class, but when she gets going—Watch out! Her favorite extra-curricular subjects are boys, T. and C., and pounds. In July she’ll be leaving for an air-line school. Good luck, Rosie. Donald R. Palmer “Don” Basketball J. V. (3); Baseball J. V. (2); Hardwick Boys' (1); Hardwick Wick (1). Glee Club Don came to us last fall from Hardwick. He had no trouble making friends, especially with the girls in his home- room. Driving a black Dodge, he is always seen with a senior girl. His plans for the future? He just grins and says, “Well... Carolyn J. Pecor Pro-Merito (4). Voted the quietest girl in the Class of ’58, Carolyn can say more with her smile than many can with twenty sen- tences. She is a very efficient student and is now working at the National Life during the afternoon. We are sure she will have a successful future. Thomas M. Pecue “Tisom Ski Club (2). A new addition to the Berlin Hill gang, Tom just loves everyone, including those little freshmen. The feeling must be mutual for everyone seems to be a friend of Tom’s—even the Navy, who may be expecting him next year. Is it true, Tom, that you hold stock in the American Tobacco Co. ? Carlyle V. Pierce “Squeaky Football J. V. (1, 2); Track J. V. (2); Forensic Society (2); President (2); Projectionist (4); Student Council (2, 3, 4), Ticket Squad (4). Squeakie is one of our Student Council members and an avid sports fan. We understand that he will be one of Uncle Sam’s boys in July. Squeak is a hard worker but always finds time for having fun and a good laugh. We mustn’t for- get to mention his love for business law. Speaking of love, we just love the red Plymouth. Constance H. Pratt “Connie'' G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (3), 100 Point Award (3); Freshman Chorus (1); Band (2, 3, 4), Letter (3); Future Homemak- ers of America (3,4); Style Show (2). Connie, the smallest girl in our class, is one of our varsity twirlers. She is an active member of G.A.A and a great lover of horses. Next year we expect to hear great things of her at Vermont College. Good luck, Shorty! Paul G. Premo Football J. V. (1); Baseball J. V. (1). A good sense of humor and politeness are two of Paul’s traits. Paul, who is everyone’s buddy, is sometimes almost quiet. With his smooth looking clothes and his butch hair cut, he really looks like a “real cool cat”. Bruce A. Richardson Forensic Society (2, 3, 4), Novice Team (2, 3), Varsity (4), Treasurer (3), President (4); Freshman Chorus (1), Boys’ Chorus (3, 4), Mixed Chorus (3, 4), “Smokey Mountain” (3); Orchestra (3, 4); Band (1, 2, 3, 4), “Saint Joan” (4). A musician, an actor, a debater, and an expert car- washer, Bruce is most often thought of as one of the spark- plugs of the Forensic Society. When he and Don put their heads together for the affirmative or for the negative or for a bit of fun, all of us wait expectantly. And we’re never disappointed! Gary G. Richardson “Rich” Here’s a hard working boy; he works every night and goes to school during the day. How do you do it, Gary ? On Sundays when Gary isn’t driving his black and red Mercury with a little blonde beside him, he’s on his way to the Moun- tain for skiing. A likable fellow, he wins many friends wherever he goes. Ruth A. Rodgers “Ruth Ann Barton Academy: Girls' Basketball (1, 2, 3), Letter (3); Class Vice- President (3); Girls’ Glee Club (1, 2), Mixed Chorus (1, 2); Drama- tics (3); Junior Prom Co-Chairman (3); Girls’ Softball (1, 2, 3). Ruth, who hails from Barton Academy, came to MHS in the middle of this year. A very pretty girl with a pleasant smile, she certainly has made a hit with our class. We have heard that there’s a special guy in the Navy. Is the name Skip? Lucille K. Roop Luci” G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (1), 100 Point Award (1); Cheer- leading J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (3. 4), Letter (3), Captain (4); Future Homemakers of America (4); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (3), Mixed Chorus (3), “Smokey Mountain” (3); Librarian (1); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), Pin (4), “Angel Child” (2); Office Staff (2); Student Council (4); Solonscope (2, 3); Record Board (2, 3, 4); Junior Prom Co-Chairman Decorations Committee (3). Luci, our perky cheerleader captain, has kept up our morale—in school and out. Being an active Student Council member does not keep her from devoting time and energy to other things—those letters are still going out to the Army. Carolyn J. Ross ‘ Pud Class Secretary (3); Solonscope (3, 4); Record Board (2. 4; Fresh- man Chorus Librarian (1); Junior Prom Program Committee Chair- man (3), Style Show (2). “Five feet two, eyes of blue” and long blonde hair describe “Pud” to a “T” An adept commercial student, she is greatly appreciated by the Solonscope staff as a typist. We hear that she likes red-headed Balentine—Walt, that is! Will we be invited to the wedding, Pud? L l V. Lucy E. Ruggles Cafeteria Staff (1, 2, 3, 4); Freshman Chorus (1); Style Show (1). Here’s to a very talkative gal who always has something worth saying to everyone. During the noon hours she keeps out of mischief by busily punching tickets and making change for the faculty. She is also a member of the “chain gang”. Who’s the lucky guy, Lucy ? Cynthia G. Russell “Cindy” G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (2), 100 Point Award (3); Fu- ture Homemakers of America (3, 4); Librarian (2); Masque (1,3); Solonscope (2, 3); Record Board (2, 3, 4). One of our most talkative seniors, Cynthia is often seen in a bright red Ford. As chairman of the RECORD photog- raphy committee, she has devoted much time, effort, and in- genuity in snapping, collecting, and captioning our pictures. Viola J. Sees “Vi” Vi was a newcomer to our class last year. Originally from Canada, she attended school in Boston before coming to Montpelier. She had not been with us very long before her winning ways won her a “Wissel”. Although he is in the Air Force now, she’s keeping up her end of the corres- pondence. Barbara A. Smith '‘Barbie Future Homemakers of America (3); Style Show (2). Always in a good mood, Barb is a nice person to have around—although sometimes she’s so quiet we have to look sharply to find her. Usually we see her with a redhaired junior. She travels quite a distance to come to school, and we know her ambition will keep her going after she leaves MHS. Robert W. Snetsinger “Snet Projectionist (1, 2). Anything wrong with your radio or TV set? Call Bob. This boy is an electrician deluxe. A certain redhaired gal and the General Electric truck seem to take up most of his after school time. Elizabeth A. Stone “Liz Freshman Chorus (1), Orchestra (3, 4); Band (1, 2, 3, 4); Style Show (2). What a live wire! This popular girl has a keen sense of humor and a sincere smile for everyone. If you’re ever down in the dumps, just go to Lizzie, for she'll cheer you up. Now do you understand why she’s been so popular with “R. G.” for the last three years ? Peter R. Teachout Sam Football J. V. (1, 2); Ski Team Varsity (4); Football Manager (3, 4); Basketball Manager (3, 4); Track J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3) ; Class Treasurer (2); Band (1, 2, 3, 4); All-State Band (4); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), Pin (3), “Curious Savage (3), “Smokey Moun- tain” (3), “Sorry, Wrong Number (3), “Saint Joan” (4); Pro-Merito (4) ; Silver M (4); Solonscope (1, 2, 3, 4), Editor (4), Assistant Editor (3); Record Board (2, 4); Freshman Reception Music Committee Chairman (4); Junior Prom Music Committee Chairman (3); Boys State (3). Here’s the class apple-polisher who earned his reputa- tion in solid geometry class. Amherst jam sessions may never recover from our romping, stomping sax player. Brownlow S. Towle “Brownie Basketball J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3), Captain (4); Base- ball J. V. (1), Varsity (2, 3, 4), Letter (2); Band (1, 2, 3); Pro-Merito (4); Silver M. (4). Here’s our basketball star of 1958. His being chosen king of the MHS Winter Carnival explains his popularity status. Active in his church group, Brownie also finds time for sports. Robert J. Tucker “Bob ' Bob, Chuck’s cohort and confederate, is our favorite fellow for fun. There is never a dull moment when he is around. His territory includes Northfield, Waterbury, Barre, and sometimes Montpelier. Best of luck to a swell guy; we know he will succeed. “Chris” Christine G. Verge Librarian (1); Freshman Chorus (1); Office Staff (4); Solonscope (3, 4); Record Board (4); Junior Prom Refreshment Committee Chairman (3); Style Show (2); Masque (1, 2). Chris has her future planned and it looks like a bright one. How could she get anything else but the best with those cute dimples and that twinkle in her eyes. She was voted the most friendly girl in the senior class and we’re sure she “art” to go a long way into the future. Judith S. Welch Judy” G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (3. 4), Wardrobe Mistress (4), “Smokey Mountain” (3); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), “Saint Joan” (4). Judy has been a member of our choruses during each of her four years at MHS, and she was also one of the group selected to represent them in the All-State Chorus. Did you know that she is also a church organist ? Best of luck to our quiet but charming senior. Richard E. White “Dick” Football J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3, 4); Basketball J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3, 4); Baseball J. V. (1), Varsity (2, 3, 4), Letter (2, 3, 4), Track (4). Sports! Sports Sports! This guy was voted the best all-around in the class because of his outstanding athletic ability. Dick is a four-letter man and has been very active in sports all during high school. Let’s get things down to “pat”, and then we’ll know what he does in his spare time. Alan L. Wilcox Baseball J. V. (1); Ski Team J. V. (4); Track Varsity (4); Band (2, 3). Here’s one of our few senior boys who has braved the electronics class. Alan seems to enjoy all outdoor sports, especially fishing and skiing. After school his time is spent with the track team. At night he is one of ten seen with Ricky and Dean. Jerryann Wood “Jerri' G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (2), 100 Point Award (3); Assembly Committee Chairman (4); Librarian (1, 2); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (4), Mixed Chorus (4); Masque (2, 2, 3, 4), Pin (2), Letter (4), Ass’t Business Manager (3); “Saint Joan” (4), “Charley’s Aunt” (4), “Taming of the Shrew” (4); Office Staff (4); Student Council (3, 4); Solonscope (1, 2, 3, 4); Record Board (2, 3, 4), Treasurer (4); Style Show (2). Need someone with a voice ? Here’s Jerri, MHS’s most loyal rooter. It’s a flash! No, it’s only Jerri in her gold Chevy. Besides being everyone’s friend, she is very very active in extra-curricular activities. Gerald N. Bailey “Jerry” One of our quietest senior boys, Sonny is very active in the National Guard. Though rather shy and short, he cer- tainly has the knack of making new acquaintances. Did you know that November 6 is his “lucky day’’? Louise M. Hayford “Wege G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), Librarian (1); Freshman Chorus (1); Masque (1). Weezie may be small, but she certainly guards her op- ponents well in those GAA tournaments. We’re sure Mrs. Tobey will miss her quiet manner in home ec classes next year. Pert and lively, she has won many friends at MHS. Kenneth B. Pratt “Ken’' Kenny shows a great interest in Northfield and also in hot-rodding. Usually we see him in the company of Gary Richardson—but not always! We understand that he will be going into the Army after Friday, June 13th. “Dig that crazy haircut”. Charles R. Predix “Charlie'' A very conscientious and hard working person, Charlie is one of the quietest boys in the class of ’58. Easy going and friendly, Charlie is always well spoken of. With his ability to get up in the morning, we know he’ll succeed in going places. Ramona M. W ilder “Smile and the world smiles with you ...” is, we believe, Ramona’s theme song. She’s another one of our Worcester- ites who is pleasant to know. In fact, her friendly smile and her genuine interest in all of us have won Mona many friends during her four years at MHS. We certainly hope that she will develop her artistic ability. How about it, Mona ?
