THE RECORD Mont|M lf« r High School Montpelior. Vermont MISS KATHLEEN I. BRETTELL To Miss Brettell for her sincere interest in her students and for her many contributions as Solonseope advisor, we, the Seniors of 1959, wish to extend our heartfelt appreciation. MISS ELIZABETH BRANCH To Miss Branch, to express our sincere gratitude for her encouragement as a member of the faculty and for her untiring efforts on behalf of the RECORD Board Staff, we dedicate the 1959 RECORD. 1959 RECORD BOARD EDITORS CO-EDITORS ASSISTANT EDITORS FEATURES EDITOR SENIOR WRITE-UPS EDITOR FACULTY WRITE-UPS EDITOR ADVERTISING EDITOR ART EDITOR SPORTS EDITOR PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR TYPING EDITOR BUSINESS MANAGER FACULTY ADVISOR CONCHITA GOMEZ PAULINE PAGE MARTHA EDWARDS PAULINE MERRITT ROBERT NIMS LEE BOWMAN NANCY WILLIAMS VIRGINIA NELSON AGNES JANAWICZ CYNTHIA MIX SUZANNE WELCH SUSAN KINNEY BARBARA BABCOCK MISS ELIZABETH BRANCH PROLOGUE T T ERE is the 1959 RECORD. We breathe a sigh of relief, realizing ■ that the hard work is over and that the yearbook is at the press. We also breathe a sigh of regret remembering all the fun we have had organizing and editing the best RECORD ever published by any RECORD Board Staff. We realize that after June 12, 1959, the members of the Class of 1959 will go separate ways, probably never to meet again in one entire body. It is our earnest hope that in this 1959 RECORD we have recorded by word and picture the many joys and sorrows we have experienced in our four years at Montpelier High School. The 1959 RECORD Board Editors and Staff present to you the 1959 RECORD. WORD TO THE SENIORS ... The Class of 1959 Montpelier High School May 12, 1959 Ladies and Gentlemen: The program of your graduation exercises will carry' on its cover “The One Hundred Forty-Sixth Anniversary of the Washington County Grammar School.” Whatever may be the relationship we assign to the Washington County Grammar School and Montpelier High School, the fact remains that you are representatives of an institution of learning that has a long and honorable history in the annals of American education. We who are identified with this institution, both faculty and students, like to think that our school is typical of the finest qualities that are the birthright of Vermonters: loyalty, steadfastness and conservatism. In loyalty we include worship of our God and adherence to the tenets of our religious faith, devotion to our Country and its Constitution, and respect, both for ourselves and for the rights of others. In steadfastness we strive to support that which is just and true against all the pressures of those influences that weaken the moral fibre of our fellow men. In conservatism we devote our energy to support those standards and ideals which our fathers, and their fathers before them, found worthy of maintenance and perpetuation. We support them, not because they are old but because they have stood the test of time. There is a vast difference between innovation and improvement. If you have acquired respect for these qualities during your four years at Montpelier High School you have gained more of this world's treasure than all the mathematics or foreign language or science can ever give you in a life time of study. With this advice we bid you goodbye; but wherever you go and whatever you do, know that our prayers and best wishes go with you. Sincerely yours, ROBERT H. CHASTNEY Principal RECORD BOARD FAIR Frederick C. Adams “Student Prince'’ Football J.V. (1); Varsity (2. 3, 4), Letter (2); Captain (4); Basket- ball J.V. (1), Varsity (3). Letter (3); Baseball J.V. (1), Varsity (3), Letter (3); Track Varsity (2); Pro-Merito (4); Student Council (3, 4); Solonscope(4). Hey now, wait just a minute. What's that again?” ... A very inept introduction to our Fred who’s alphabetically as well as scholastically tops ... As far as personality, agreeableness, and old- fashioned amicability go, he’s tops there, too. Our more treasured memories of Rick include a thatch of strawberry blond hair, a white sweatshirt, his talks in English class . . . He’ll have to work hard not to be successful. Stephen P. Adams “Winter Wonder (land) ” Ski Team Varsity (1, 2, 3, 4); Letter (1), Captain (4); Football Manager (1, 2, 3, 4); Class President (1). Here s our man of the three P's pep, personality, and popu- larity .. . Buster’s motto is “Have skis, will travel” because when snow falls, it’s “yahoo” and off to the Mountain ... We point to the fame he won skiing in the Junior Nationals in Washington Again, congratulations, Buster... A nicer guy couldn't be asked for, and unless we’re very poor judges, success will be his. Lorraine M. Ainsworth “Sweet Lorraine” G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (3), 100 Point Award (3), 200 Point Award (4); Class Secretary (3); F. H. A. (2, 3, 4,), Presi- dent (4), Vice-President (3); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls Glee Club (2, 3. 4). Mixed Chorus (2, 3, 4), Treasurer (4); Pro-Merito (4); Silver “M” (4); Solonscope (3, 4); Record Board (3, 4). Efficient, persevering and pretty.. . Lorraine, who presides over F.H.A., has in her quiet way lent a helping hand to many activities ... It is her charm and poise that have won her so many friends . . The fact that she was chosen to represent M.H.S. in the contest for Harvest Festival Queen speaks for her popularity with her classmates. Harriet E. Anderson “Blue Skies” Future Homemakers of America (3,4), Vice-President (4); Solon- scope (3, 4); Teenage Book Club Chairman (2,3). Sunny as blue skies and nice as nice can be, Harriet is a won- derful gal who uses her time efficiently for studying and reading . . . A more amiable disposition would be hard to find . . . We’re sure this will indeed be an asset when she realizes her ambition to own and manage a restaurant. . . Perhaps Roxie, Aggi, and Janie will be there to help keep things gay. Tomas F. Anderson “Blue Suede Shoes' Football J.V. (1,2), Varsity (3,4), Letter (3,4), Captain (4); Basket- ball Manager (3, 4); Track J.V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3). “Shucks, late again!” . . . Tom does make it to school on time more often than not, though ... His efficiency as a manager has to be proved in almost every sport, and on the football field, his determination stopped many a larger opponent . . . Tom has a nice manner about him which makes him one of the more like- able members of our class... That 18th birthday cake at the Lincoln Inn was really yummy, wasn’t it, Tom? Barbara C. Babcock “Too Marvelous for Words G. A. A. (1, 2, 3); Cheerleading J.V. (2), Varsity (3,4); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), Pin (3), “John Brown’s Body” (4); Freshman Chorus (1); Pro-Merito (4); Silver “M“ (4); Solonscope (2, 3, 4); Record Board (2, 3, 4), Treasurer (4); Junior Prom Refreshment Committee Chairman (3). “Gee, I didn’t know we had cheering practice this noon.” We’re really just making this up because Barb’s serious, responsible attitude has made her an invaluable member of many school organizations, including the cheerleading squad . . . No one com- bines good grades, many extra-curricular activities and such a sunny disposition as our Barb . . . Also, she’s one of the very few ardent female hikers. Joan C. Barquin “All in Fun G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (3), 100 Point Award (4); Future Homemakers of America (2, 3, 4); Masque (1, 4), “The Bond Between” (4), “The Lottery” (4); Solonscope (3, 4); Record Board (3, 4); Majorette J.V. (1,2). If you see someone with twinkling eyes and a cheery smile who’s looking for fun, it’s 'Lara . . . She loves dancing and is often seen at the Teen Center with her many friends.. . Notice her pretty clothes? . . . She’s been active in G. A. A. and is also, we discover, a very clever actress . . . Best of luck in your teaching career, Tara! Donald K. Bigglestone “Lot It Snow, Let it Snow Baseball J.V. (2); Ski Club (1, 2. 3, 4), Ski Team Varsity (1, 2, 3, 4), Letter (4); Football Manager (2, 3, 4); Baseball Manager (1); Masque (1, 2); Ticket Squad (1, 2); Record Board (4). “Yahoo! It’s snowing!” . .. When that white stuff startes to fall, we don’t see very much of Biggie anymore ... A really versatile guy with a keen sense of humor, he’s an Arthur Murray on the dance floor ... Tell us, Don, where did you pick up that famous stride? . . . And which jazzy, sna zv shirt are you wearing tomor- row? ... We don’t doubt that you will become a leader in the world of business. Richard L. Blanchard “It Was Football-’ Football J.V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (1, 2, 3, 4), Captain (4); Baseball J.V. (1), Letter (1), Ski Club (1), Ski Team J.V. (1); Track J.V. (2), Varsity (3, 4). Letter (3, 4); Ticket Squad (1, 2). Hunter, fisherman, athlete and everybody’s friend . . . Also a member of the Shrine Football Squad . . . Congratulations, Dick .. . ‘ Were those physics problems due today?” .. . He’s also another one of the brave venturers into the land of pulleys, motors and electrons . . . Dick's an easy-going lad who enjoys life and a good time ... If there’s not a good time, he quickly creates one . . . UVM seems to be his next stop . . . We’ll be watching his progress. Donald J. Bliss “Whistle While You Work ' Don is a happy-go-lucky felow who works hard outside of school as well as inside . . . His personality is most affable and his good manners prove wonderfully refreshing . . . His friendliness has earned him the reputation of everyone’s good friend . . . We might mention that Don's a mighty handsome fellow, too. Ivis Bordas “Angel in Disguise” G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (3), 100 Point Award (3), 200 Point Award (4); Future Homemakers of America (1, 2, 3, 4); Masque (1); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2), Mixed Chorus (2), Mixed Chorus (2) Solonscope (2, 3, 4); Record Board (2, 3, 4); Style Show (1). There’s nothing more irritating than to be called Iris when one’s name is Ivis, right Iris—er uh, Ivis? . . . However, Iris takes this all in good humor. . . She also takes responsibilty well and accomplishes her tasks with a good humor that is highly con- tagious . . . We might just mention that she’s learning to drive . . . Lee Bowman “Honey Bun” G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), Treasurer (3); Assembly Committee (3,4), Chairman (4); Cheerleading J.V. (1), Varsity (2, 3, 4), Captain (4); Masque (1, 2); Freshman Chorus (1); Orchestra (1, 2, 3, 4), All- State Orchestra (1, 2, 3, 4); All-New England Orchestra (4); Pro- Merito (4); Silver “M” (4); Student Council (3, 4); Solonscope (1, 2); Record Board (2, 3, 4); Junior Prom Decorations Committee Chair- man (3). “Good morning”, sparkle, smile and “Don’t forget practice this noon.” . . . Here’s our cute strawberry blond, Lee, whose spirit and guidance have led our cheering squad this year . . . She plans our assemblies; she effectively executes Student Council projects; she’s musically talented; she possesses friends and personality plus . . . Need we say more? “The World on a String” Anne B. Campbell G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (3); Future Homemakers of America (2, 3. 4), Treasurer(3); Masque (2, 3, 4), One-Act Play Con- test (4); Freshman Chorus (1); Pro-Merito (4); Record Board (4); Style Shoy (1). Oh, that pretty blond pageboy . . . Anne seems to remain calm, cool and collected, even in times of major catastrophe. . . Anyone who has worked with her can attest to her capability in almost any situation ... A bubbling spirit and an avid interest in a certain “Pete'’ are two of Anne's distinguishing characteristics .. . We'll be looking for her name on the Dean’s List at VC next year. Carol A. Carr “Sweetheart of ( ) Chi” G. A. A. (1, 2, 3); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), “John Brown’s Body” (4); Freshman Chorus (1); Pro-Merito (4); Record Board (4); Junior Prom Ticket Committee Chairman (3). Tall, dark, and beautiful. . . We think Carol would look stylish even in burlap . . . Mmmmm, look at that Florida tan . . . We hear by the grapevine that she's the freshman ideal of a dignified, sophis- ticated senior . . . Northfield seems to be her favorite town . . . The retailing profession is her next goal. Sandra J. Caslani “Wonderful You' Future Homemakers of America (2. 3), Song Leader (2, 3); Fresh- man chorus (1). Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3), Mixed Chorus (2), “Smokey Mountain” (1). Sandy appears quiet and shy at first glance, but you'd better look twice . . . And also listen twice because her giggle never fails to identify her . . . She’s a girl who has acquired many new friends at school, and this may be due to her skill at combining seriousness and fun . . . We might just mention that she also w'orks hard at a part-time job . . . We wish you the best, Sandy. James E. Chalmers “All-American Boy” Burlington High School Football Varsity (2, 3), Class Tax Collector (3); Football Varsity (4), Letter (4). “Hey, w'atch out!” . . . Drop everything! Here’s Jim! . . . We’re happy to report that there’s never a dull moment when this fellow is in the vicinity .. . One year w ith us and already he seems like an old-timer . . . We just love the way he says “Cartoon” . . . Wonder if his supply of humor will ever run out -we can't imagine it will . . . There’s also an element of seriousness about him which makes Jim just an all-around nice guy. Frank B. Clark “Wonderful Feeling” Football J. V. (1, 2); Basketball J. V. (1, 2); Baseball (1); Class Vice-President (3); Solonscope (3, 4): Business Manager (4). Did you say there was something to be done? Well, Frank, our snappy Solonscope business manager will be right there . . . We think he’s the best seller-of-Solonscopes-in-the-lobby ever . .. Going hunt- ing or working on his car seems to keep him out of mischief during any spare time he may have . . . Just coax him into conversation sometime—we think you’ll agree with us that Frank’s a great guy. We hear that the armed service is his next stop. Best of luck to you, Frank. “While We’re Young” Solonscope (4); Teenage Book Club Chairman (2); Record Board (4); Style Show (1); Future Homemakers of America (3, 4); Fresh- man Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3). Linda holds the coveted title of “Shortest Member of the Class of ’59” . . . Quiet and conservative, she can be lots of fun when there’s fun to be had . . . Another of the illustrious East Montpelier- ites of ’59 . . . Making friends and keeping them seems to be one of her specialties ... We predict that her studying and hard work will pay off with a top-notch office position . . . Much success and keep your chin up, Linda. Charles L. Collins “Charlie, My Boy” Football J. V. (2), Varsity (3, 4), Leter (4); Track J. V. (2). “Hi!” or “How about that?” readily identify this versatile sen- ior . . . Another hard-working member of the ’59 football squad, Charley’s concentration and hard work seem to have paid off well; and we’ll be following his career at Champlain College next fall . . . That sense of humor and frequent chuckle are all part of the pic- ture, too. Jean E. Conkling “Jcanie with Dark Brown Hair” G. A. A. (1, 2, 3), 50 Point Award (2), 100 Point Award (3); Masque (1, 2, 3. 4), Pin (3), Letter (4), Secretary (4), “She Stoops To Con- quer” (1), Evening with the Masque” (4); Freshman Chorus (1); Band (1. 2, 3, 4), Head Twirler (4); Pro-Merito (3); Office Staff (2, 3, 4); Silver “M” (3); Record Board (3, 4). Petite, pert, and bubbling with personality—that’s Jeanie . . . Who else could have planned and executed the twirlers’ formations and routines that we all enjoyed so much this year? . . . Joan has a knack for making any event fabulous . . . Generosity and friendliness are her trade-marks . .. We think that there couldn’t be a career better suited to her than nursing. Linda L. Clark Jane A. Cunningham “Calamity Jane'' G. A. A. (4), 50 Point Award (4); Masque (3, 4); Solonscope (2, 3); Record Board (4). This tall, blond lass can be found most often with Roxy and Agnes .. . But she has many, many more friends . . . Her outside-of- school interests include horseback riding, skating, and tennis . . . Her nice voice and cherubic smile, which appears when something touches her sense of humor, make her fun to talk with . . . We hope that all your dreams for next year come true, Janie. Sheila A. Cutler “Private Secretary Future Homemakers of America (2. 3, 4), Historian (2); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3); Pro-Merito (3); Solonscope (4); Record Board (4); Style Show (1). We have every reason to be sure that Sheila will some day be the most successful secretary ever... Such efficiency and energy! And how we envy her naturally curly hair! . . . She’s nice to have around and be around —’cause because she’s just naturally friendly and helpful... It must be nice to have your middle initial appear so frequently on your report card! Norman S. D’Arthenay, Jr. “I Won't Dance Football Varsity (2, 3, 4), Letter (2, 3, 4); Basketball J. V. (1. 2), Var- sity (3, 4), Letter (3. 4); Baseball J.V. (1), Letter (1); Class Presi- dent (3); Senior Class Marshall (3); Silver “M (3); Solonscope (3); Boys State (3), Boys Nation (3). Presenting our poet laureate of 1959 ... Robert Frost would prick up his ears, but we just sit back in amazement and enjoy Spike’s marvelous blending of words . . . Talent and Spike are syn- onymous to us... A many-sided individual, he always seems in command of a conversation, be it light, witty, or intellectual. Gary A. DeCoteau “Most Happy Fella Football J. V. (2), Varsity (4), Letter (4); Track Manager (1). The big question is—Will his car stay intact until that golden day when he brings home his first deer? . . . We’re rooting for you, Gary! . . . Another stalwart on our football team . . . This fellow lends that surprising little quirk to every event . .. We never know whether he’s chuckling at himself or at us . . . His friendly wave, his attitude, and his zeal are what we like most about him. Roland E. Doucette “Shine on My Shoes” Where? Oh, yes-—behind the wheel of that chic 59 Ford is Buddy . . . However, you may not be able to see him v ery well be- cause his car is always filled to capacity with his many friends . . . This guy, who enjoys himself on all occasions, seems to be at the right place at the right time all the time . . . And for all of you-all who have still to bag that elusive deer, listen: Bud shot one standing plunk on his front porch. Ralph Drew, III “Ace in the Hole Football J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (3); Basketball J. V. (1); Baseball J. V. (1, 2). Uh, Uh—better not. . . Mischievous Ralph always manages to find something to occupy himself . . . Another lover of woods, fields, and streams ... We really can’t imagine him sitting still to catch a fish, though we could be mistaken, of course ... At any rate, be assured of his friendliness at all times and look for him where there’s lots of good fun and frolic. Charris K. Dudley “Footloose and Fancy Free G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), Vice-President (4), 50 Point Award (2), 100 Point Award (3), 200 Point Award (4), 300 Point Award (4): Future Home- makers of America (4); Masque (3, 4), “John Brown’s Body” (4), “The Lottery” (4); Band (2, 3, 4), Letter (3); Record Board (2, 3, 4). While other people spend their weekends baby sitting, Doodles spends hers “dog sitting” for her house full of canines . . . Sports are her specialty, and more unquenchable enthusiasm we’ve never en- countered . . . Those eight miles between East Montpelier and Mont- pelier have never prevented her from joining her friends ... A bigger tease there never was, but a nicer gal to have around there never was, either. Richard W. Duprey “Home on the Range' Track J. V. (1). “Home on the Range” is certainly an apt theme for Dick be- cause if you ever see a wide-brimmed cowboy hat sailing past, you will know that Dick is probably underneath it . . . What he lacks in height he makes up for in almost every other way . . . He’s quite a hunter and fisherman . . . He isn’t exactly the garrulous type, but then “silence is golden” when you’re stalking game. “I Got Rhythm” Bancroft Dwinell, Jr. Ski Club (1); Masque (1, 2, 3); Projectionist (1, 2); Ticket Squad (1, 2). Water skiing apeals to this guy and he’s quite a water skier! . . . Jazz also appeals to him, and he has a fabulous collection . . . Cars appeal to him too, and that car of his is really something! . . . Handy can spot fun anywhere and always joins it quickly . . . All in all, he’s a personable fellow with a keen sense of humor. Dean A. Edson “Little Drummer Boy” Ski Club (4); Ski Team Varsity (4); Class Treasurer (4); Band (1, 2, 3, 4), All-State Band (4); All-New England Band (4); Boys State (3). “Wow! How’s that again?” Whether behind his drum, soaring downhill on his hickories, or just plain soaring in his car, our Dean has the right remark for every situation—right or wrong—n’est-ce pas, Dean? .. . We have great faith in this boy .. . He’s intelligent, he’s talented, he’s witty, he’s fun to be around, and what's more, he’s—well, he’s Dean. Gary B. Eldred “Anything Goes Baseball J.V. (1). May we introduce dark, good-looking and conservative Gary’. He seems to have an unusual faculty for livening up all his classes. If you’re looking for him and he isn’t in the company of Frank or Jim, you can assume that he’s working at the First National Store. Perpetually in a good humor, Gary can always be called upon for a good time and lots of fun. Kathleen L. Fitch “WThen Hearts Are Young Future Homemakers of America (4); Freshman Chorus (1); Style Show (1). Here’s one of the happy-go-luckiest girls in the senior class and also one of the friendliest. . . She seems able to take everything in her stride and not even reaching Montpelier via the County Road in the midst of a Vermont winter can faze her for long . . . Al- though she seldom talks about herself, we do know she hopes to make nursing her career . . . The best of everything in life to you, Kathy. “Let's Have a Party Christine R. Forgue G. A. A. (1, 2); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4); Freshman Chorus (1); Record Board (4). Portrait of the “typical American teenager” . . . One of our prettier jeune fittes . . . Always ready for fun . . . She studies- but not too hard! ... She dances ... very well! . . . She dates—often! . . . Everyone likes Chris, and her future is certain to be filled with friends. Carole A. Freeman “When You're Smiling G. A .A. (1, 2); Future Homemakers of America (2, 3, 4), President (3); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), Pin (4), “John Brown’s Body” (4), “Smokey Mountain” (2), New England Drama Festival (3); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3. 4). Mixed Chorus (2, 3. 4). Letter (3), Pendant (4), Librarian (3), All-State Chorus (4); Record Board (2, 4). What would the Masque have done without this busy blond senior? . . . Have you ever noticed how her whole face lights up when she smiles?—and that’s quite often . .. Also, she’s one of the outstanding members of her youth fellowship group . . . She has chosen nursing as her profession, and we know she’ll be successful. James W. Frost “I'll Never Be the Same” Do you wish to be informed about anything concerning cars? Consult “Duke” and observe that smooth black convertible . . . He and Dale (his cousin, no less) have every answer . . . Jim, do you get that scrumptious tan water-skiing in the summer? ... At the First National he’s an excellent, and our favorite epicier . . . The day is complete only after Duke has cracked his daily joke, grinned his big grin, and said “Hi’!’ Jane Gibson “I’ve Got the Sun in the Morning” Forensic Society (3, 4), J.V. (3), Varsity (4), President (4); Masque (3, 4), Pin (4), “John Brown’s Body” (4), “An Evening with the Masque” (4), Taming of the Shrew” (3). Although Jane joined us only last year, she has already filled many responsible positions in both Masque and Debate. . . How we admire her ability to express herself explicitly and concisely and remain unruffled through it all . . . She’s a really considerate gal who can easily make people forget their troubles and feel at home. Jane says that she’s looking forward to college life at B.U. next year; we’re looking forward to her success. Conchita E. Gomez “On Top of the World” Class Treasurer (1); Future Homemakers of America (2, 3. 4), Treasurer (2), Parliamentarian (3); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), Pin (3), Letter (4), “The Storm” (4), “Saint Joan” (3), New England Drama Festival (3), “John Brown’s Body” (4), “Solid Gold Cadillac” (4); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (2, 3, 4), Letter (3), Pendant (4), Orchestra (1, 2, 3, 4), All-State Orchestra (1, 2, 3, 4), All-New England Orchestra (4); “Smokey Mountain” (2); Office Staff (4); Silver “M” (3); Solonscope (1, 2, 3, 4); Record Board (2, 3, 4), Ass’t Editor (3), Editor (4); Treasurer Magazine Drive (4). Our source of constant amazement is Chita's ability to find time for so very many extra-curricular activities and still keep those A's and B's coming in . . . Want to find her? Just listen for that giggle! . . . Whatever you want accomplished efficiently and promptly should be given to Chita Example: this 1959 Record We know she'll be tops at Champlain College, too. “So Rare” Class Treasurer (3); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), Pin (3), Letter (4), “Curious Savage” (2, “Sorry, Wrong Number” (2), “Saint Joan” (3), “Taming of the Shrew (3), The Solid Gold Cadillac” (4); Girls’ Glee Club (2. 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (2, 3. 4). Letter (3), Pendant (4), Treasurer (3); Pro-Merito (4); Silver “M“ (4); Solonscope (1, 2, 3, 4), Ass’t Editor (3), Editor (4); Record Board (2, 4); Girls State (3). Isabel is the girl to see for advice concerning literature and creative writing ... A very competent Solonscope editor, she’s full of new and original ideas ... At Kellog-Hubbard Library she can find just the book you’re looking for . . . We’re sure Middlebury College has found just the gal it’s looking for! Ross S. Goodyear “The Happy Wanderer” A screech of tires, and a black Chevy pulls into view . . . It's Ross! . . . From Moretown, of course, where he is Master of the Grange ... His interests? Well, let’s see there’s mechanics, rifles, sketching, and operating movie projectors . . . We’ll always remem- ber him as the little guy with the Andy Griffith smile . . . Hopes to buy his own tractor and continue farming . . . The best to you, Ross. Richard I). Graham “Take Me Out to the . . Football J.V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4). Letter (3); Basketball J.V. (2), Varsity (3, 4.) Letter (3); Baseball Varsity (1, 2, 3, 4), Letter (1). Rick excells in the art of putting balls over endlines, through hoops, and right over home plate. . . Baseball is his specialty, though, and on the diamond he shines as an excellent pitcher . .. When off the field of friendly combat, Rick is a connoisseur of dancing and parties .. . His sincerity and positive attitude have made him an indispensable member of our class. “Dreamy Eyes” Bruce D. Griffin Football J.V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (4); Baseball J.V. (1, 2), Varsity (4), Letter (4); Baseball J.V. (1,2); Class Vice-President (4); Pro-Merito (4); Junior Prom Co-Chairman (3).. Need any groceries? . . . Bruce is the man to sell them to you . . .Besides working hard outside of school, Bruce keeps busy, busy, busy with studying, sports, and frequent witticisms in classes .. . Good manners, generosity, and an unending supply of teasing quips add up to one “Spruce” Griffin ... He certainly added a lot of baskets to our team’s total score this winter. Roy C. Hawkins “Gone Fishin' ” Where’s the best place to find Roy, or Speedy as his friends call him?... Why, riding around in his Chevy with his host of friends, of course. . . That sizable and prosperous farm which he lives on has afforded him many opportunities to improve his hunting and fishing techniques, two sports at which he excels . . . Like all his friends, he too enjoys having fun . . . At the risk of being repetitious, we might say that friendliness is another of his attributes. David A. Hayward “Anchors A weigh” Projectionist (1, 2, 3, 4). Screech! Here he comes—late! . . . Well, you’d be late, too, if you lived in North Montpelier...

Sally Pond. Rhoda Ward Standing: Peter Joglln. Ben Brown, Earl Roberts. Tom McGlbney. John Otis. George Edson. Larry LaFlam, Sue Knapp Bob Nims, president of Student Coun- cil, raps his gavel calling the meeting to order. The time is 12:30 Wednesday noon; the place, Room 2; the cast, as pictured above. “The meeting will come to order. Wendy will read the minutes.” Wendy begins: “At the March 4 meet- ing Lee Bowman read the following pro- posal for election of Student Council members. 1. A larger council of thirty to thirty- five will replace the present nineteen. 2. There will be one freshman, one sophomore, two juniors and three seniors from each homeroom. The motion was made and carried to accept the proposal; the following amend- ments were made: 1. Present council members will finish their terms. 2. Election to the council will be held as follows: a. Each homeroom member will nomi- nate in writing a council member, b. Every person in each homeroom with over three votes will make a campaign speech. The homeroom will then vote for its council repre- sentative. The motion was made and accepted that we adopt these proposals. The meeting adjourned at 12:50. Wendy Goodale, Secretary “I hope that this change in the election of Student Council members will increase interest and extend representation.” At a suggstion from Lee that the council review its accomplishments of this year, Alice Ricker breaks the silence with her usual gusto and good humor: “WeVe started a safety program to pro- mote good driving around school and keep order in the parking lot. We have also made the first revisions in the school handbook since we left Main Street School. Oh, yes, we’ve been selling M.H.S. scarves, T shirts, and sweatshirts to augment our treasury.” Silence reigns again. Bob tells the members of the Student Council who will finish their terms next year that we will have a chapter of the National Honor Society. As everyone cheers, the meet- ing adjourns; and our invisible curtain falls as enthusiastic and forward-looking members go off stage. FIT Y-SIX ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE Left to Rioht: Stephen Huttenlock. Lee Bowman. Dr. Chastney. Peter Josiin The curtain opens upon a busy scene with Dr. Chastney seated at a table talking with Lee Bowman, Steve Hutten- lock, and Pete Josiin. They are planning the assemblies, of course. They are re- sponsible for the concerts by the St. Lawrence and UVM bands this spring. Remember the magazine drive assembly and the program when the Student Coun- cil explained their new election system? We’ll always remember the day we learned all about the American Field Service, and how we could sponsor an exchange student. The awards and mu- sic assemblies in which we participated will not soon be forgotten. All these interesting and educational programs have been directed by Lee and her com- mitteemen. We think that this very important committee deserves a lot of praise for its behind-the-scenes work. Hats off to you! FIFTY-SEVEN MONTPELIER HIGH SC HOOL BAND First row. seated: Betsy Nelson, Wendy Goodale, Joyce Shatney. Jean Battles. Wendy Webster, Joyce McKnight. Jean Ingersoll.

Mr. Mix ‘4 Q eventy-six Trombones led the big parade!” Well, not quite that many, but a great many, nevertheless. Yes, many musi- cians, from trombonists, to piccoloists, strive all year around to make the halls ring with the foot-tapping cadences of the Montpelier High School Band. Under the capable baton of Mr. Mix, our Band makes merry music for many concerts and parades. During Band practice one day, we sneaked into the band room, and there we heard all the instrument cases chat- tering together. Here's what we heard: “Gosh,” wailed the protective cover of the shiny new tympani, “I'm still aching from the banging I got at the Montpelier-Scituate exchange concert.” “Oh, you’re just complaining”, replied the trumpet case, “because you couldn’t go when they marched at the All-State parade in Burlington!” “And just look at me!” cried a slightly battered flute case. “I was left, by mis- take, at the Recreation Field after the Band played at a football game! And it rained! Ugh!” “Oh, let’s be more cheerful!” sang the clarinet case. “Wasn't Bob Nims funny as a piano tuner, and isn't “Rock Around the Clock” simply the most?” We crept away, leaving them to re- collect fond memories while we went downstairs to listen in on Band practice. FIFTY-EIGHT MAJORETTES AND DRUM MAJOR Kneeling; Pam King. Jean Conkling. Captain Standing: Barbara Robinson. Ruth Harris. Robert Edson. Drum Major, Lynda Jones. Maureen Hudson re want Jean! We want Jean!” It is the last basketball game of the season and the final performance of the twirlers at half time. The stands resound with the cry for Jean. Who is Jean? Why, Jean Conkling, of course, the cap- tain of the majorettes. They have just left the floor and the band has stopped playing. After a few moments of loud cheering, the twirlers push Jean onto the floor. The band plays a rousing song as the smiling captain goes through her routine alone. However, her position on the twirling squad doesn’t bring only honors, as we all know. Practices are tedious, routines tricky, baton classes trying on the pa- tience, and J.V. tryouts baffling. Now the scene shifts to the gym and the cast is composed of J.V. tryouts. The nervous freshman and sophomore girls who have been learning from the varsity squad to march and spin a baton are awaiting the verdict of Mr. Mix and the varsity. The general murmur is, “I dropped my baton! I’ll never make it!” Jean leaves Mr. Mix and approaches the girls. The new JV’s smile and leave the gym, dreaming of future games and of becoming a varsity captain someday. The finale is a parade; the scene, Burlington’s Church Street; and up in front is Drum Major, Bob Edson. leading the entire MHS band. The members re- spond immediately to his snappy steps and crisp commands. As they turn the corner, we look after them, proud to belong to MHS. FIFTY-NINE FRESHMAN CHORUS Seated: Pam Hill, Sylvia Murray. Donna Stebblns. Ann Lindsay. Miss Newton, June Dalton. Joyce Shatney. Gelia Kennedy. Donna Barquin Standing: Barbara Scammell, Susan Rowell. Nancy Lord. Larry Babcock. Linda Wltham. Jim Mullally. Tom Welman. Gall Whitney. Sue Fuller Scene, High School; Time, September of this year. (Enter a freshman, looking ever-so- slightly bewildered). He soliloquizes, “Gosh, if I only knew what extra-cur- ricular organizations I should join! I’d sort of like to join Freshman Chorus, but I wonder if I could?” (Enter an upperclassman, looking very knowledgeable.) “What ho, frosh? Trou- les? Need advice?” “I sure do. What do they do in Fresh- man Chorus, anyway?” “Heavens, Freshman Chorus is the first stepping-stone to a musical career at MHS. In it you learn many songs from many countries and times and even sing in front of an audience once in a while. But most important, you get a good foun- dation in musical techniques. You learn the “Language” of music, so to speak, and how to develop your voice to its fullest. I know I’ll never forget all the things I learned in Freshman Chorus.” “Gosh, I guess maybe I will join. Sounds like real fun.” “Good. See you around.” “Wait a minute. I’m lost. Could you show me to the music room?” “Sure. First door on the right up these stairs. Just follow the crowd of freshmen headed there.” “Gee, thanks.” (Curtain) SIXTY GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB First Row: Janet Leonard. Carolynn Sllloway. Judy Gerry. Rhoda Ward. Judy Colburn. Martha Spinelli. Sandra Robertson. Mary Alburger. Lois Corse. Louise Fernandez, Sue Merritt. Deanna Freeman Second Row: Jane Pollard. Ginny Nelson. Carolyn Bryant. Sue Knapp. Ann Johnston. Miss Newton. Carole Freeman. Kathy Hartman. Isabel Gomez. Conchita Gomez. Gwen Long Third Row: Sally Pond. Sue Welch. Polly Page. Alida Reed. Linda Baird. Lorraine Ainsworth. Trena Tall man. Shelley Johnson. Martha Edwards. Sally Chase The time is eleven o’clock on any Monday or Thursday, and the set- ting is the Music Room. In the fore- ground stands Miss Newton, M.H.S.’s well-known supervisor of music. At this moment she is tapping out the rhythm to “Tumbling Tumbleweeds”, which the Girls’ Glee Club is at the moment trying to perfect. Every once in a while she offers a suggestion to her accompanist, Rhoda Ward. Soon more music is being passed around and this attentive group is concentrating on “Oh De Lord Shake De Heaven.” This Negro spiritual com- bines with the beautiful “Twenty-Third Psalm” to lend a more serious tone to the group. Then the girls swing into “Deep in My Heart, Dear”, and everyone relaxes. This has been one of their favorites, and they are very sure of the harmony. All eyes are on Miss Newton for the interpretation of the song. Such is the scene of a typical Girls’ Chorus rehearsal. This year the girls sang everything from classical melodies to show tunes. They appeared at assem- blies and sang for Spaulding High School and Vermont College, as well as for a number of school concerts. Many of the members are also in Mixed Chorus and have enjoyed filling a few outside en- gagements. Christmas Eve saw many Chorus and Glee Club members singing carols on the steps of City Hall to passers- by. All sophomore, junior, and senior girls take note: A genuine interest in choral work—and we do mean work—and a fundamental knowledge of music are all you need to join this group. If you are among the more able, you will find your- self doubling in the Mixed Chorus. SIXTY-ONE BOVS’ CHORUS Seated: Harry Moulton. Miss Newton. Robert Burley Standing: Jerry Bryan. Alan Lamphere. Bob Nims, Mike Brainerd. Dick Grant. Bill Thompson. Jim Crouse. Bob Edson. Bob Morgan. Morris Sanders. Fernand Larocque The goal of every choral group is good close harmony. Miss Newton and her Boys’ Glee Club of fourteen members make their entrance onto our imaginary stage singing one of their favorite tunes, “Amo Amas.” When they have reached center stage, Miss Newton stops them with “Are you all sure of your parts? We don’t seem to be getting quite the desired effect. Listen for the other parts.” “But, Miss Newton,” offers Jim Crouse, “it is very hard to concentrate on our music today. I can’t stop thinking of our trip to Rhode Island with the Chorus and the food sale the Chorus is having to earn money to help pay expenses. We’ve been doing so much this year.” Bill adds his bit to the conversation: “Let me see, what have we done this year... the members of the Glee Club who are in the Chorus took part in the annual Winooski Valley Music Festival held this year in Northfield. The same boys will be performing as part of the Mixed Chorus in the annual Barber Shop Concert.” “You forgot to mention our joint con- cert with the other music organizations of the Montpelier Schools in January.” adds Bob. “And I think we should con- gratulate Bob Nims on being selected for the All New England Chorus.” “As long as we’re mentioning individ- ual honors,” interrupts Dick, “I think we ought to mention Bob Edson, Bob Nims, and Jim Crouse as members of the All-State Chorus. Those Tuesday prac- tices certainly paid off.” “Come on, boys, let’s stop dreaming and praising each other and get busy on our music,” suggests Bob Nims from the piano bench; and as the curtain closes, the boys are harmonizing “The Rafts- man”. SIXTY-TWO MIXED CHORUS First Row: Rhoda Ward. Judy Colburn, Deanna Freeman. Sally Chase, Sue Welch. Trena Tallman. Bill Thompson. Jane Pollard. Shelley Johnson. Polly Page. Carolyn Sllloway.

Conchita Gomez. Gwen Long The time is fourth peiod on a Wed- nesday or a Friday in the Music Room. President Bob Nims stands be- fore a group of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Secretary Gwen Long takes notes as various members join in a lively discussion. Librarians Sue Pierce and Jim Crouse are filing music manuscripts in the background. Business manager Ann Johnston reports that the proceeds from the band-chorus concert and from the food sale will take care of the Chorus’ half of the expenses for our exchange trip to Rhode Island. From the group issues, “Hurrah! Yea! Yippee! Ole! Bravo! Gloria in excelsis!” Many business meetings were necessary to keep the affairs of the busy M.H.S. Chorus straight this year. Plus its ex- change trip to Rhode Island, the Chorus sang with the Montpelier Barbershoppers, at the Winooski Valley Festival, at Spaulding High School, Vermont College, and for our own Baccalaureate and Com- mencement programs. Those seniors who sang at the New England Music Festival are Sue Merritt, Ginny Nelson, Bob Nims, Polly Page and Sue Tarshis. Another group of seniors sang in the All-State Music Festival. They are Ann Johnston, Carole Freeman, Shelley John- son, Gwen Long, Sue Merritt, and Bob Nims. Besides the officers mentioned above are treasurer, Lorraine Ainsworth; vice- president, Carolyn Bryant; wardrobe mis- tress and assistant, Virginia Nelson and Linda Baird; and assistant business man- ager, Marcelyn Maxham. SIXTY-THREE MONTPELIER HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA First Row: Deanna Hedges. Carolyn Bryant. Conchita Gomez. Barbara Holt. Phil Jeffrey Second Row: Allda Reed, Alison Lane. Lee Bowman. Rebecca Pope. Sally Pond Third Row: Roxana Krels, Robert Nims. Eleanor Richardson. Cynthia Mix. Robert Edson. Mr. Fink ' I v he orchestra players enter from stage-left juggling music, racks, and instruments. The ones carrying violins, flutes, and trumpets stroll to their seats; the others who seem to be painfully shifting a drum or cello from one side to the other stagger to their chairs. All eyes are focused on Mr. Fink as he raises his hands—the music begins. The audience, sensing that this is a better than average high school orches- tra, sits back to enjoy a variety of selec- tions. This audience may be friends and parents at the January Concert, the high school assembly, or a group of students standing in the shadows during the fourth period rehearsal which is running over- time Have you noticed the girl drummer, Eleanor Richardson? She’s been playing the orchestra’s new tympani which were given to the school in January by an anonymous donor who wished to provide the orchestra’s most needed instrument. Cynthia Mix, Conchita Gomez, Eleanor Richardson, Bob Nims, and Lee Bowman are our five graduating members. Since we can’t applaud them on paper, we'll clap especially hard when they receive their diplomas in June. SIXTY-FOUR BOYS AND GIRLS STATE Left to Right: Polly Page. Isabel Gomez. Robert Nlms, Larry Hoch, Richard Slayton, Albert LaBounty, Virginia Nelson Absent: Norm D'Arthenay (calisthenics at 7:00 A.M., flag raising, reveille, marching to the mess hall, lights out at 9:30. Is this boot camp? No, just routine procedure at Boys and Girls States. The three girls from M.H.S. who tasted a bit of political life in June of 1958 were Isabel Gomez, Ginny Nelson, and Polly Page. The boys who attended Boys State were Norm D’Arthenay, Dean Edson, A1 LaBounty, Larry Hoch, and Richie Slayton. The alternates to Girls State were Lee Bowman, Chita Gomez, and Linda Mereness. During the first few days at both Vermont College and Norwich Univers- ity, where the respective “States” were held, the students experienced a strenuous week of assembling, campaigning, elect- ing, legislating, and making new friends. Any student who suffers from a strong superiority complex is cured during this week of working and living with the most outstanding boys and girls in Vermont. This week of activities included sports (bowling, tennis, softball, baseball), glee club, band, newspapers and the Inaugural Ball, which was sponsored by the American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary. The 1958 sessions began on Sunday, June 15, and lasted until Sunday, June 21. We seniors can be proud of our dele- gates to both Boys State and Girls State. Isabel Gomez was selected for the Good Citizen award, and Polly Page was named as outstanding member of the Senate. Spike D’Arthenay and Dean Edson were Senators for a week, and Spike repre- sented Vermont boys at Boys Nation in Washington, D.C. Indeed we have a “good group.” SIXTY-FIVE PRO-MERITO First Row.

Seniors whose average is eighty-five for six semesters will receive this honor in the fall of their senior year. The students who have maintained an average in the eighties and new students will be eligible for PRO MERITO in June before grad- uation. By the way, this year's recipients of PRO MERITO can boast that they were the first at MHS ever to appear on tele- vision for receiving this award. Although we all enjoy extra-curricular activities, we know, too, that diligent application to one’s studies is as import- ant to future success as is hard work in outside activities. SIXTY-SIX SILVER “M” Seated: Robert Nlms. Lee Bowman. Dr. Chastney. Linda Mereness. Earl Roberts Standing: Jean Conkllng. Virginia Nelson. Isabel Gomez. Lorraine Ainsworth. Ann Johnston. Maureen Hudson. Conchita Gomez, Pauline Page, Cynthia Mix J7 very fall many of the same seniors -TL who average their grades for Pro- Merito collect in Miss Kettelle’s office to compute their points toward their Silver “M”, the highest award given at MHS. This award, a beautifully- styled sterling silver letter M, is given for a combination of high scholastic standing and outstanding extra-curricular achievement. Silver “M” is based on a point system. Ten points in scholarship and eight points in extra-curricular are required for the fall award. The students who proudly receive their Silver “M’s” in June must have at least fourteen points in scholar- ship and eight points in outside activities. Students who transfer from other schools are required to earn proportionately few- er points. The next time you see a girl or boy wearing a Silver “M”, treat that person with respect; he or she is a real leader!! SIXTY-SEVEN MASQUE First Row: D. Barquin. C. Mix, R. Ward, J. Barquin, L.

Tonight’s produc- J tion is not John Brown's Body, “The Lottery”, The Solid Gold Cadillac, or An Evening with the Masque. This is an unrehearsed curtain-raiser, Present- ing the Masque. This play requires a larger cast than any of the other M.H.S. plays have ever required. Why? Why, the play’s the thing here at M.H.S. I’m Bob Nims, your host and president of the Masque this year. A glance at our picture will show you that we are one of the most popular—and populous!— organizations in school. Of course, all the people whom you will see this evening don’t act; many “hands” are necessary to the stage, property, lighting, pub- licity, and ticket-selling crews. As you can see, there is plenty for everyone to do, and every Masque member has the opportunity to do both acting and crew work. This year has been a busy one for all of us, including our secretary, Jean Conkling. Hi, Jean.” “Bob, I’m so tired from last night’s executive board meeting. You know, I didn’t realize that there were so many people to put onto committees.” “Excuse me, Jean, I was just going to explain that we have an executive board composed of Martha Edwards, Ann John- ston, you and I which selects the commit- tees for each play. Miss Beals selects the cast after two or three sessions of tryouts.” SIXTY-EIGHT “Oh, Bob, I’m so glad the Regional One-Act Flay Contest is over. Playing host to so many schools is fun but hard work. And I'll never forget how hard Miss Beals worked with us on John Brown's Body, 'i hat play had never been presented by a high school before. It certainly was wonderful!” “I know, Jean, but I remember most vividly the time we moved props from the old barn near the freight yard. 1 never saw so many cobwebs in my life. And remember all the blitzes we had for selling tickets?” “Bob, let’s change the subject...” “O.K., Jean, let’s reminisce about our spring play, The Solid Gold Cadillac. There was the Masque at its organized, smooth-running best. Do you remember all the thousands of dollars of props we borrowed? And the many long hours of painting and nailing flats? And re- member how hard we worked selling all those tickets? Yes, more than one hundred worked on that play, and I guess all would agree that it was ‘jolly good fun’ “But gosh, Bob, it makes me feel just awful to know that Miss Beals won’t be at MHS next year.” “That’s right, she’s planning to go back to school herself next fall. I know that the Masque is very sorry to see her leave, but we certainly do wish her all sorts of good luck.” We hear Jean saying, “Gosh, do you remember.......” as the curtain softly closes on Presenting the Masque.

Mike Bralnerd. Miles Prentice. Robert Morgan. Miss Murray Standing: Bruce Renshaw, Tina Edwards. Richard Grant. Albert LaBounty. Dale Walker Miles Prentice is standing at the front of Miss Murray’s room after school. Alby LaBounty and Miss Murray are auditioning his speech for the debate coming up the next week end. And speak- ing of those week end debate tourna- ments, Alby and Miles chalked up a per- fect record at the New Hampshire Uni- versity Tournament this year. As we open the door, we hear Miles stating why he thinks the United States should adopt the essential features of the British edu- cational system. This is typical of the many long after-school sessions which both the varsity and junior varsity teams put in doing research and polishing their arguments for the various practice ses- sions and contests they participate in all year long. This year the Montpelier High Foren- sic Society debate teams attended tourna- ments sponsored by Dartmouth College, the University of Vermont, and the University of New Hampshire. Both the varsity and the novice teams made very creditable showings. In addition to the college meets, the Forensic Society also sponsored its own invitational tourna- ment participated in by many of Ver- mont’s top debaters. In addition to “straight” debating, this year the Society added divisions of oratory and extemp- oraneous speaking, which will arouse even greater interest in debate next year. We are extremely proud and pleased with the accomplishments of the Mont- pelier High School Forensic Society of 1959 SEVENTY RECORD BOARD Front Row: Don Bigglestone. Cynthia Mix. Sue Merritt.

The lead- ing parts have been assigned to Conchita Gomez and Pauline Page, with Barb Babcock, Lee Bowman, Agnes Janawicz, Sue Kinney, Sue Merritt, Cynthia Mix, Virginia Nelson, Bob Nims, Sue Welch, and Nancy Williams in the supporting roles. The first scene opens with Chita and Polly buried in yearbooks: green ones, white ones, blue ones, fat ones, and thin ones. As they pore over this pot- pourri of the last twenty years, they mumble occasionally and jot down some ideas for themes. The second scene takes place in Room 22 at 12:30. Polly calls the meeting to order. It’s the first meeting of the year and the co-editors are full of plans and ideas. Conchita opens with: “We have some brilliant ideas for the traditional bigger and better RECORD this year. . . Now let’s get busy... First we have to sell advertisements ... Committees will be formed .. . Chairmen will be chosen for our annual Record Board Fair... Then we’ll start planning for our Christ- mas Ball. Then_______” The rising action includes such inci- dents as selling candy at home basketball games, keeping school books well covered with MHS bookcovers sold at rock bottom prices, counting pennies, dimes, nickels, quarters and even half dollars, lining up students for group pictures (“If you’re taller than the person in front of you, step ahead.”), setting deadlines, re-setting deadlines, and pulling in copy and pic- tures. As time and a half goes by, we ap- proach the climax when all department heads are rushing about pressing their minions for assignments. Finally we reach Mr. Leahy, our patient and long- suffering printer. SEVENTY-ONE SOLONSCOPE First Row: Linda Clark. Sally Pond. Harry Moulton. Terry Ricker. Cynthia Mix. Nan O'Brien.

Conchita Gomez One of the favorite tunes of the Boston Pops Orchestra provides the back- ground music for the first act of the Solonscope, a dramatic performance star- ring Isabel Gomez as editor-in-chief. The first act opens on a solemn group of Solonscope editors awaiting election time of new officers. The time is 12:30 on a Tuesday in January 1958. The new editors are all members of the class of 1959. Their term begins in February and terminates in January of the ensuing year. A few minutes after elections, the new editors leave the room beaming—espec- ially happy are Nan O’Brien, news editor; Sue Merritt, features editor; and, of course, Isabel. Little do they dream of the work and fun in store for them: times when they don’t see how they will make the deadline; the time when Isabel scares everyone when she momentarily loses the copy; the coming of a new advisor, Mr. Mayo. If Nan, Sue, and Isabel had been told that in November of 1958 they would spend a day at a press conference at Lyndon Teachers’ College, they would have shaken their heads in disbelief. These above mentioned things did hap- pen to Isabel and her department editors. When election time rolled around again, and Sally Pond and her editors took over, the outgoing editors were sad, but they all agreed that all good things must end. They will always remember, though, the droning on the typewriters for hours after school, the honors they received, and the satisfaction they experienced everytime the paper came out.

Everyone seems so friendly and is having such a good time that our office girl, whom we shall call Miss Curiosity, decides to stop and “get in on the act” too. Soon Lorraine Ainsworth, president of the organization, opens the meeting after the traditional F.H.A. pledge, the F.H.A. song, and the F.H.A. prayer. Our Miss Curiosity tip- toes away and the curtain falls on the first act. At the opening of the second act, Miss Curiosity and Lorraine are having lunch together in the cafeteria, and our Miss C. is asking questions about the F.H.A. She becomes Miss Interested as she listens to Lorraine’s account of some of the high- lights of the year, including the joint meetings with the Spaulding F.H.A., a discussion of therapy and rehabilitation work with the mentally ill, a trip to the children’s home at Christmas time with a glittering cake, and the June mother and daughter banquet. Now Miss Interested is a member of the Montpelier High School Chapter of the Future Homemakers of America and is proud to say that our chapter is one of the state’s largest and most spirited ones. SEVENTY—THREE OFFICE STAFF Seated: Alice Ricker, Maureen Hudson, Mrs. Yeaton, Jean Conkling, Nancy Williams Standing: Barb Babcock, Ginny Nelson, Jane Gibson, Polly Page, Conchita Gomez Kathy Hartman, Joan Miglierini, Sue Kinney The scene this time is the Montpelier High Schol office. The telephone rings and is answered by Mrs. Yeaton. She tells one of her assistants to take a message to a certain freshman. The girl rises, wondering whether her errand will take her to the cafeteria study hall or into the whir and buzz of the shop ma- chines. As she sallies forth down the hall, she glances into the class rooms to see if all her class-bound friends are behaving themselves. Soon she is back at the office, her excursion over, and ready to take up such routine duties as typing the noon notices or making the absence list. It is now' the Wednesday afternoon after the Friday when the marking period closed. Another friendly office girl again enters the room, but now she has a neat little bundle of report cards in her hand. A hushed murmur pene- trates the very corner of the room— Ohhhhhhh N .A boy whispers to her as she speds past his desk, “Don’t forget to take those with you when you leave.” All the girls on the office staff enjoy their jobs. They appreciate the help and encouragement given them by Mrs. Yeaton, Miss Kettelle, and Mrs. Aiken as they learn office routine by doing such varied tasks as typing notices, answering the telephone, writing admit slips, filing, meeting and guiding school visitors, and occasionally “holding the fort”. SEVENTY-FOUR CAFETERIA STAFF Seated: Edith Sansing, Mike Brainerd, Mrs. Webster, Sandra Robertson. Joyce Lowry Standing: Bill Moran, Fran Sansing, Gelia Kennedy, Don Fleury, Jean Knowles, Lois Corse, Eugene Robinson The time is noon. The place is the Cafeteria. The characters are all of us in the background with Sandy Robinson and a small group of customers in the foreground. Hemmed in on all sides by a table of delicacies, an ice cream freeze box, and a milk machine, Sandy is busily counting money. “Now let me see—you have two ice cream bars, one package of crackers, and an apple. That will be twenty-five cents.” The girl hands her two quarters. “But I said that you only owe me twenty-five cents.” The girl replies, “Oh, it isn’t all for me. Take a dime from here and use it for .. No wonder Sandy sighs, “I’ll be glad when this counter closes!” Next we turn the clock back four hours. The scene has changed. In the cafeteria, Mrs. Barbara Webster, Mrs. Aris Pratt, and Mrs. Ruth Tryon are checking the menu and the cooking utensils. Speed is important. The food must be ready to take to the Union School and Main Street schools by ten o’clock sharp. Mrs. Webster impresses us as a won- derful person. As one of her staff says, “We like our supervisor and feel lucky to be able to work with her.” SEVENTY-FIVE VARSITY CHEERLEADERS Left to Right: Lee Bowman, captain; Linda Bates, Franne Nelson, Sally Patterson, Nancy Williams, Robin Bumes, Barbara Babcock TjM-I-I-G-H-T, F-M-G-H-T was the theme of the varsity cheers this year. For the first scene of this dramatic per- formance we take you back to the year 1955. Our little star and her two cheer- ing teammates make their entrance on our stage as freshmen. Lee, Barb, and Nancy are among their freshman friends practicing for JV cheering tryouts. This year the fad among frosh is cheerleading. Every girl is jumping, screaming, and getting exhausted. The varsity leaders realize that very few will survive the ordeal. They notice a cute little fresh- man practicing diligently. She seems to stand out from the rest, and the varsity choose her as their little cheering success. After tryouts, many tear-filled eyes and broken hearts pass through the halls of MHS, Lee Bowman is not among the disappointed. In her sophomore year she will join the varsity squad, and all the fans will cheer with this little red- head who can jump so high and yell so loudly. The scene and time shift to 1957, Nancy Wiliams and Barbara Babcock are nervously awaiting the decision of the varsity cheerleaders to add two more girls to their squad to replace Lynn Dorn who moved to Burlington during the summer. We all know what the judges decided to do, don’t we? Another tense moment for our three little stars—election time is here again. The ballots of the cheerleaders and the student council members are cast; the results are announced. Lee Bowman is the new captain. The 1959 basketball season is drawing to a close. Juniors, Franne Nelson and Sally Patterson; sophomores, Linda Bates and Robin Burnes; and our three seniors are standing in the gym waiting for the big pep rally to begin. When everyone has assembled, a cry arises from the sen- ior section, “Happy Birthday, Lee.” The whole school joins in singing. Lee blush- es and soon the pep rally begins. Their high school cheering days are over, but we are sure that these three seniors will not forget the fun and excite- ment they have experienced.

Williams. K. White. G. Whitney '“Tphis year the G.A.A. has rolled along A smoothly under the direction of Miss Martin, the girls physical education teacher, and Cynthia Mix, the organi- zation’s president. The year started off with the tradition- al initiation. After an afternoon of beauty treatment and a week of bowing and bending, many freshmen became honored members of the G.A.A. In the fall, after a few weeks of field hockey and a feeble attempt at touch football, a bowling tournament was held at the Montpelier Bowling Alleys. Many Tuesday nights were spent with strikes, spares, and gutter balls. Finally the Sen- ior Team emerged in first place. Next came the tournament of the year, basketball. Both the sophomores and juniors had two teams and each put up quite a fight; however, the seniors came out the victors with only two losses. In February all the water ducks in the G.A.A. set out for Burlington for a swim in the YMCA pool, and everyone had a tremendous time. In the spring the G.A.A. had a softball tournament. Finally the girls’ sports sea- son came to an end with a banquet which was a new addition to the G.A.A.’s activi- ties. SEVENTY-EIGHT VARSITY FOOT BALL First Row: Gary DeCoteau, Bob Kramer. Earl Roberts. Bruce Griffin, Norm D Arthenay. Tom Anderson. Rick Adams. A1 LaBounty, Sherman stebbins. Rick Graham. Jim Chalmers. Charlie Collins Second Row: Ben Brown. John Hughes. Norm Otis. Miles Prentice. Alan Granger. Bob Edson, John Bossi. Pat Cotey. Pete Joslln. Leslie Pressey Third Row: Dave Smith, manager; Don Bigglestone. manager; Coach Brown; Coach Coane; Coach Morrison. Steve Adams, manager Montpelier High School started out its football season with its first game against a strong and aggressive ball club of BFA in St. Albans. For some of the boys this turned out to be the first game they had lost since they joined the varsity. After this initial defeat, “Brown’s Buggy” just never chugged as it should have. This was due, in part, to the many injuries that hampered the Solons throughout the season. One or two boys could usually be seen sitting on the bench unable to play because of earlier injuries. Rick Graham, who was injured in the second half of the BFA game, never recovered enough to show his full poten- tial. This was only one of the big blows the team suffered this year; however, the boys never lost spirit but fought harder every game. Although the records show one win, five defeats and one tie, the school did produce some All-Northern and All-State players. Rick Adams was honored by being put on first team All-State while a fellow Solon, Earl Roberts, won a berth on the third team. Honorable mention was given to Dick Blanchard and A1 La- Bounty. In the All-Northern selections we placed Rick Adams and Earl Roberts on the first team and Dick Blanchard on second team. Much credit should be given to Coaches Brown, Morrison, and Coane, who work hard each fall so that the boys can play the game they like so well. Managers Steve Adams, Don Bigglestone and Dave Smith, who have so efficiently helped the coaches this year, also deserve much credit for the Solons’ success. SEVENTY-NINE VARSITY BASKETBALL First Rote: Bruce Griffin. Earl Roberts. Richard Slayton. Rick Graham Second Rote: Pat Cotey. Coach Morrison. Larry LaFlam. Peter Lavln. Jay Harding. Lee Hersey. Norm Otis. Tom Anderson. Leslie Pressey Absent: Norm D'Arthenay, Rick Adams. Howard Brown THIS year members of the varsity and junior varsity basketball and all interested candidates began practicing for the coming season. Coach Burt Morrison selected those whose ability and talents could be molded into a strong team; he then concentrated on preparing them for the approaching games. Considered to be strong contenders, the Solons’ first team included Rick Graham, Earl Roberts and Norm Otis, who had some experience from last year’s varsity. Bruce Griffin and Lee Hersey moved up to fill positions left vacant by last year’s graduating seniors. In the Northern League schedule, the Solons had a rather unique year during which they won no games. Neverthe- less, our favorite team was staunchly supported by faithful fans who never lost hope. Our high scorer this year was Bruce Griffin, who totaled 224 points, while Lee Hersey collected 184; Norm Otis, 176; Earl Roberts, 108; and Rick Graham, gathered 59. EIGHTY VARSITY SKI TEAM First Row: Judy Gerry. Coach Wright. Pam King Second Row: Phil Mix. Linda Bates. Jim Dwinell. Bill Taylor. Vic Fortna. Barb Mitchell. John Cady. Larry Babcock. Ben Brown. Don Bigglestone. Steve Adams. Frank Pierce. Bob Burley. Joan Teachout The Varsity Ski Team had a very busy schedule this year, and it was handled very well by this year’s new coach, Mr. Wright. The season began with a three-school meet at Northfield, and the members showed their potential by winning the meet. Steve '‘Buster” Adams won the slalom and was on his way to a tremen- dous skiing season. He also placed first in the slalom at Burlington and Northfield. Vic Fortna, Don Bigglestone, and Ben Brown also scored well, helping to gain valuable points by placing high in the meets. At the State Ski Championships “Bus- ter” Adams won first place in both the downhill and the slalom; thus, at the New England Championships and at the Eastern Junior Ski Championships he earned a trip to Yakima, Washington, for the National Junior Ski Championships. At the season’s final meet, which was sponsored by the Montpelier Ski Team, the Varsity took the trophies and thus ended a season of fine skiing. EIGHTY-ONE VARSITY TRACK First Row: Bill Taylor. Dick Moher. Tom Welman. Henry Kreis. Bill Roya, John Champoux, Carroll Witham. Spencer Whitney Second Row: Kenneth Dukette, Dale Walker, Forrest Bowman. Mike Breer. Frank Pierce. Mr. Wright. George Edson. Victor Fortna. Ronnie LeBourveau. Tom Renshaw This year should be classified as a build-up year for the members of the Montpelier High School track team. Freshmen make up the majority of the track team, but with a couple of years of training and experience under the capable coaching of Mr. Wright, the team should develop with great strength. Seniors Don Bigglestone, Carl Tenney, Richie Slayton and Dick Blanchard, who are all experienced trackers, should show well in their various events. 1959 TRACK SCHEDULE Wednesday, May 6 Spaulding Saturday, May 16 at St. Johnsbury Wednesday, May 20 at Lyndonville Saturday, May 23 St. Johnsbury Invitational Friday, May 29 Burlington—Northern District Meet EIGHTY-TWO VARSITY BASEBALL First Row: Peter Lavln, Lee Hersey, Leslie Pressey. Jay Harding, Larry LaFlam. Normle Otis. Peter Joslln. John Boss!. Albie LaBounty Second Rovv Coach Morrison. Rick Graham. Rick Adams. John Otis. Richard Slayton. Bruce Griffin. Roger Mack. Bob Edson. Manager This year Montpelier High School has the ingredients for a good baseball team under the direction of our able coach, Burt Morrison. With quite a few returning MHS stars this year, the team has an optimistic out- look. Rick Graham, Normie Otis, and Larry LaFlam should take a strong hold for a great pitching staff. These boys are also strong hitters enabling our boys to come up with a great winning season. Two new sophomores have also proved to be very promising players as well as our skilled frosh, Johnny Otis. Seniors Bruce Griffin, Albie LaBounty, Rick Adams, Roger Mack, and Richie Slayton are also proving to be strongholds for our team. If our calculations are correct, the MHS baseball team will have a tremendous season. 1959 Baseball Schedule Friday April 24 at Winooski Tuesday April 28 at Essex Junction Friday May 1 Rice Memorial Tuesday May 5 B.F.A.

St. Johnsbury Academy and Lyndon In- stitute were defeated twice each in home and away contests while the Spaulding junior varsity lost to the MHS JayVees by a score of 13-0 to close the season. The starting line-up consisted of Mike Gandley, R. E., Terry Murray, R. T., Hugh Jones, R. G., Stan Sloan, C., Henry Kreis, L. G., Bill Roya, L. T., John Otis, L. E., Albie Richardson, Q. B., Calvin Haskell, L. H., Mike Yates, F. B., and Dick Moher, R. H. Congratulations, Mr. Coane and boys, for such a fine season. JAYVEE BASKETBALL This year’s MHS Junior Varsity bas- ketball team had a very successful season, winning 14 games and losing only 4. The best win of the season came with a 43-42 win over rival Spaulding. The starting line-up consisted of Johnny Bossi, R. F., Mike Gandley, L. F., John Otis, C, Justine Skirry, R. G., and Phil Fernandez, L. G. Mr. Coane certainly has that special “something” that is needed to come up with a winning team. Again, congratulations, Mr. Coane and boys, for your very fine season and your splendid display of good sportsmanship! JAYVEE BASEBALL Our JV baseball team, under the coaching of Mr. Palermo, holds a lot of promise for this great baseball season, with quite a few sophomores and many new freshmen. The pitching spot is well filled by the “veteran” Ben Brown and other new potentials. In the other parts of the playing field there are many sophomores and freshmen who will gain valuable skill and experience for the varsity squad, and will aid the JV’s to a great season of winning baseball. EIGHTY-FOUR PHILIP H. MATHEWSON Superintendent of Schixils Did you know that our tall, dignified superintendent enjoys fishing and hunting outside of school? We still remem- ber when he was principal at the Union School when we were there only a few years ago. Held in high esteem by all who know him, Mr. Mathewson has certainly helped many seniors with his advice and understanding. ROBERT H. CHASTNEY Principal of Montpelier High School Words fail us when it comes to writing about Dr. Chastney. Certainly, there has never been a better principal and friend than our Dr. Chastney. Where would the Senior Class be today without his expert advice and guidance? Thanks ever so much, Dr. Chastney! GLENN AIKEN Science We call him “Pop” for short. Anyone who has taken his chemistry or physics courses knows he knows what he’s talk- ing about whether we do or not. Occasionally in chemistry class he reminds us of the weight of a liter by kicking the wastebasket. NANCY J. BEALS English and Speech When our able faculty advisor of the Masque directs a play, success is assured. The topics she assigns for essays are something we’ll never forget. They are really “dillies”_ and those new words! STANLEY K. BOND U. S. History and P. A. D. Among other facts of historical interest, Mr. Bond sometimes tells us about his past war experiences and how he taught the Kentucky boys English. We’ll always be grate- ful to him for arranging graduation so perfectly for us. ELIZABETH M. BRANCH English Remember those awful nights after school when we had to chew spruce gum because we had chewed gum in her class? Anyone working on the Record will understand why she is always in such a big hurry. KATHLEEN I. BRETTELL French and English Vive la France! Anyone passing Room 24 may pause to wonder at the alien sounds issuing from within. Don't run away frightened; step inside and soon you’ll be speaking French too. In both French and English, we think Miss Brettell is tops. GRAY R. COANE Mathematics and Mechanical Drawing Want to get on the good side of Mr. Coane? Just study hard! He always said, “It's not how well you do but how hard you try that counts.” His brief but hilarious talks at the pep rallies will be among our MHS memories. JOAN DIPPRE Mathematics Our charming new math teacher this year is from Penn- sylvania. Mrs. Dippre is also the mother of a small daughter. She is always very smartly dressed and is very good natured. To hear her talk you’d almost think that trig and solid geom- etry were snap courses. MILLICENT L. DIXON Commercial When one of us writes a book based on our experiences as secretary to the President, we’ll dedicate it to Miss Dixon in appreciation for her patience and skill in teaching us the fundamentals of business. By the way, did you ever notice how her blue eyes sparkle when she’s amused? HARLAN R. FARNSWORTH Mathematics None of us will ever forget Mr. Farnsworth’s alumni game outfits. He says that he likes people, classical music, and spectator sports; but we are sure his greatest thrill comes from giving quizzes and tests. MILDRED L. HALLGREN, R. N. School Nurse “Come in during homeroom period for a check of your shot.” Sound familiar? To many of us this year, Miss Hall- gren’s office was the place for a small-pox vaccination or polio vaccine shots. Miss Hallgren always gives a remedy for our aches and pains with a smile. JOYCE E. HERMAN Social Studies Mrs. Herman can tell us everything that has happened from the pristine man to President Eisenhower. (Unfortun- ately, her history classes have to learn it too.) We shall al- ways remember her many ideas and hard work that made Class Day 1959 a memorable day for all of us. JAMES W. HOLBOM Art Our excellent art teacher is also a very talented artist. Even if you are in one of his classes for only a few days, one of the first things you will learn not to do is to draw a straight line. Modern art and bright colors are his passwords. LOUISE E. HUTCHINSON Latin Vini, Vidi, Vici. Do you know what that means? You should if you’ve been in any of Miss Hutchinson’s Latin classes. Latin seems to bother almost everyone except Miss Hutchinson. However, although we don’t comprehend all of the Latin, what we do know surely helps us in other subjects. The famous Roman Banquet each year is Miss Hutchinson’s specialty. VIOLET E. KETTELLE Director of Guidance The Senior Class owes a tremendous vote of thanks to Miss Kettelle for all the things she has done for us; for ex- ample: helping us decide careers, choose colleges, apply for scholarships, and so many other things. She also helps the underclassmen with their many problems. All in all, Miss Kettelle is a pretty wonderful person to have around. BUELL S. JENKINS Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds Montpelier High School certainly lost a good man this year. After many years of fine service to the Montpelier Schools System, Mr. Jenkins retired on May 15. Always in- credibly busy, Mr. Jenkins has kept our school one to be very proud of. GRACE R. LEVADIE English If you pass Room 28 and hear a different sort of lan- guage flowing out don’t jump, it’s not a new type of English—it’s only Mrs. Levadie’s “plum’ pretty” southern drawl. Her favorite saying is “Silence is Golden.” New to Montpelier High School this year, Mrs. Levadie is a definite asset to our fine faculty. ROSE C. MARTIN Physical Educuation If you were one of the basketball fans who attended the out-of-town games, you know that Miss Martin is an enthu- siastic and loyal Solon supporter. We know that the girls will agree with us when we say that the gym classes have certainly been interesting this year with Miss Martin. EDGAR H. MAYO English “Hey, that reminds me of something that happened years ago” and “I must tell you a little story” are two of Mr. Mayo’s favorite expressions. Take our advice and listen to what follows—you won’t want to miss it. He’s also the patron saint of the Solonscope. VERNE L. MCDONALD Commercial We’ll always remember Mr. McDonald as the man on top of that stepladder taking pictures of the football games at the Recreation Field. The general opinion among teachers is that students are the wise ones, but students say that Mr. McDonald can equal even the wisest ones. CHARLES H. MEANS General Shop Soft-spoken Mr. Means is well-liked by all those in his classes. Did you know that he also taught shop at the Main Street School? Never hurried but always busy, Mr. Means will surely be remembered by all of us. By the way, did you know that he comes from East Montpelier way?! BURTON B. MORRISON Coaching and Physical Education When asked if he paced the floor while his second daugh- ter was being born, Mr. Morrison replied that he had been reading a magazine at the time. Always good-natured, he usually tells stories about the other coaches at the pep ral- lies; but sooner or later, they manage to get even with him. HOMER S. MURRAY History and Economics To the seniors in his homeroom Mr. Murray is a friend as well as teacher. He believes in getting people together and having fun. Just ask him about the picnics, cook-outs and sledding parties at his camp. He also keeps our student coun- cil running smoothly. JOANNE C. MURRAY Commercial Can you actually tell Miss Murray from a student? If you’ve seen her at a football or basketball game, you’ll admit it’s hard to tell. The way she handles the debate team must agree with the students because the Forensic Society is one of the most looked-up-to Debate teams in the state. All the more power to you, Miss Murray. DORIS I. NEWTON Music Supervisor Did you know that our efficient and capable music direc- tor likes to hike and travel in her spare time? It seems that Miss Newton can attain the impossible when she prepares one of her choruses for a concert or an assembly. And the music sounds so well! BIAGIO PALERMO General Science Our good-looking General Science teacher is also very sports-minded. Besides helping out with the various teams at Montpelier High School, Mr. Palermo also referees basket- ball games in different parts of the state. Hasn’t General Science been interesting, girls? MARTHA R. PRICE Biology Have you noticed a slim, brown-haired woman walking around the halls wearing a white smock and carrying books? That’s right, she’s our new' Biology teacher. Biology classes have certainly become more interesting under her capable guidance. Mrs. Price and Mr. Sloan have something in common—Michigan! J. LAUREL REED English and Social Studies Our charming P.A.D. and English teacher this year is Mrs. Reed. She is also the wife of the Attorney General of Vermont and has three small daughters. We hear that she is an avid fishing and hunting fan. ROBERT W. SLOAN Social Studies Another newcomer to Montpelier High School this year was Mr. Sloan, w'ho was soon one of the students’ favorites on our faculty. His little witticisms in the middle of classes certainly keep anyone from getting bored! And how his blue eyes sparkle! We hear he likes Michigan. (Is that true, Mr. Sloan?) DOROTHY C. TOBEY Homemaking “Cookie, anyone?” And those luscious biscuits and brownies! Under Mrs. Tobey’s skillful guidance, the girls in Homemaking turn out mouth-watering goodies as well as the latest styles in clothes. We shall really miss her next year. DONALD S. TOWLE Industrial Arts Our famed connoisseur in woodcraft, Mr. Towle, also enjoys camping and skiing. Have you seen any of the beauti- ful furniture that Mr. Towle’s protegees have made under his watchful eye? We couldn’t ask for a more competent Industrial Arts teacher. BARBARA B. WEBSTER Director of Hot Lunch Program Aren’t the menus just swell this year? And look who’s behind all that food! Mrs. Webster! Planning menus, super- vising the cooking, etc., for the Montpelier Schools certainly keeps her busy. We’re beginning to wonder how she ever manages that friendly smile she has for everyone. ROBERT D. WRIGHT English and Driver Training Girls, the line forms at the (W) right! Mr. Wright is our good-looking English teacher, Driver Training instruc- tor, and Ski Team coach. And judging from this past year, Mr. Wright deserves a lot of credit. We understand he’s married and the father of six children. THELMA V. YEATON Secretary to Dr. Chastney “May I use the phone?” “Is Dr. Chastney in?” “May I have a late slip?” Anyone going into the office this year has been greeted by the affable and warm personality of Mrs. Yeaton. Has she ever told you about the trip she and her husband took to California last summer? “WOULDN’T IT BE LOVERLY” TO HAVE Eyes............... Hair............... Figure.............

Sue And (er) son, Jim, decided to go on a Long vacation. After they finished packing, they carried their luggage out to the old Hudson. Jim Drew on the window, and his mother scolded, “Jim, Do(u) cette down and let the windows deFrost by themselves!” They drove their old Carr in for a check-up at Roop’s, and then they were off; bound for Decoteau (Dakota) territory. Riding along, Jim smiled, feeling like a Freeman. He was certainly looking forward to his first camping trip! Sue, too, was looking forward to seeing her sister, Jean, among the Indians out West. They traveled along a dark road, lined by a thicket of Hedges. To Sue, it was spooky, but they traveled on. Before they realized their fate, they were lost in a deep Pine forest. In despair, Jim and his mother made camp there. Soon they dis- covered the sweet Bliss of the forest wasn’t so bad. Luckily, they had their rations. For a while, they lived on Campbell1s tomato soup, Welch's grape juice and Graham crackers. Anyone would deserve a Merritt for the accomplishments those two made for survival. Then one tragic night, it happened, as I knew it would, sooner or later! Sue was awakened by a shadow of a Tollman running across the tent. She screamed—but it was too late. The expert Bowman shot a whistling arrow. It Pierce(d) her heart. Now Jim Kreis for his mother. The Morrill of this story is, don’t go out West to visit Jean. You just don’t Mix with her Indian friends. NINETY-EIGHT List of Advertisers Abair Hardware Angelo’s E. W. Bailey Go.
