Montpelier High School - Record Yearbook (Montpelier, VT)

Page 8 text:

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 ...................

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.
