Text from Pages 1 - 124 of the 1960 volume:

GLENN AIKEN Mr. Aiken will be remembered for his quiet, unassum- ing dignity; his patient, sound advice; and his friendly, helpful attitude toward us—the Class of 1960. To a loyal friend and teacher, Mr. Aiken, we affectionately dedicate this book. PROLOGUE Four short years have been spent on our voyage through M.H.S. It has been one of the most eventful trips of our lives with shipmates who have become sincere and lasting friends. Our good ship has been guided through stormy waters by our erudite Captain Chastney, who exemplifies all that we w ant to emulate. It has been a privilege to weather the stormy waters with the guidance of one so distinguished, scholarly and devoted to the highest principles of education. Our teachers have also helped us to overcome the obstacles of the high seas. We are grateful to them for their patience and guidance. We, the Record Board of 1960, present to you, dear shipmates, the final results of our combined efforts; and we hope this Record will find a current place in your hearts and a future place in your memories. PRESENTING THE VOYAGE OF THE M.H.S. PINAFORE! THE OLD SALTS First Row (left to right): A. Lane. P. Merritt. K. Irving Second Row: L. Fernandez, T. Brigham, R. Pope, G. Cassara Third Ron:: F. Nelson.

Miles Prentice, III “Milsey” Football J.V. (1), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3, 4); Baseball J.V. (1, 2); Forensic Society (2, 3, 4), Varsity (3, 4), Treasurer (3), President (4); Silver NT (4); Student Council (4), Vice-President (4); Solonscope (3, 4); Boys State (3). If you ever hear any commotion on deck, you will know Miles will be the instigator. He always seems to have a hand in every- thing that goes on. Argument, his pastime, has led him into debate. His future course includes an office on Wall Street, and we expect him to be one of our future millionaires. Class President Thomas H. Renshaw “Torn Caefeteria Staff (4); Band (1, 2); Student Council (4), Parliamen- tarian (4); Ticket Squad (3). Tom, last years recipient of the Harvard Book, has been a prominent member of the Student Council. As a navigator, he has charted the course of a music appreciation group which sponsors noon-hour concerts. We will remember him as a hi-fi enthusiast and one of M.H.S.’s most ardent non-conformists. Class Vice-President Sandra J. Gillander “Sandy Class Day Chairman (4); Student Council (4); Masque (1, 2. 3, 4), “Sorry, Wrong Number” (I), “Our Town” (4), “Taming of the Shrew” (1); G. A. A. (1, 2, 3. 4); Solonscope (2, 3, 4); Future Homemakers of America (2, 3, 4); Cheerleading (1, 2); Silver “M” (4); Pro-Merito (3). In matters curricular and extra-curricular Sandy has been a success on board. Besides writing a column for the local news- paper, Sandy has been active in Masque and Student Council. We’re sure that U. Conn, will appreciate her talents as much as we have. Class Treasurer Class Secretary Carol A. Bianchi “Carol” G. A. A. (1, 2, 3); Future Homemakers of America (2, 3, 4), Secretary (3), President (4); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), Pin (3), Letter (4), Secretary (4); “Curious Savage (1), “Smokey Mountain (1), “John Brown’s Body” (3), “Our Town” (4), “St. Joan” (2); Girls’ Glee Club (2); Pro-Merito (3); Office Staff (4); Silver “M” (4); Student Council (4); Junior Prom Invitation Committee Chairman (3), Record Board (4). This busy senior has been one of the most active shipmates during the four-year cruise. A few of her activities include F.H.A., Masque, and Record. We shall miss this friendly and lively matey when she charts her future course in the sea of business. John L. Armstrong “John” This slim blond sailor lad never seems to have a trouble in the world. His mischievous eyes are always seeking excitement. His friendliness and cheerfulness will make him an asset to any crew. Isabel V. Ashford “Chippy” Freshman Chorus (1). Isabel has a knack for easily acquiring that beautiful stone which is the dream of every future bride. This mate has obviously- made a hit with a certain member of the opposite sex. Her course has been charted already, and we’re sure it will be a happy voyage. Stanley E. Austin “Stan” Basketball J.V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (2); Baseball J.V. (1, 2). Freckles and red hair are trademarks of this crew member who always has a smile and a friendly “hi” for all of his pals. Stan’s interests are sports, and we understand he likes the color “White.” We wish him smooth sailing in the future. Linda L. Baird “Linda” G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (3), 100 Point Award (4); Girls’ Glee Club (2. 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (4), Wardrobe Mistress (4), Pendant (3), Pro-Merito (3), Silver “M” (4). Although one of our more sports-minded sailors, Linda is also a whiz with the books. Did y ou know that ice-fishing and hunting are two of her favorite sports? And speaking of favorites, we think her little cocker spaniel would be a good mascot. We know she'll be top-flight in the field of nursing. Albert W. Birchard “Buddy Football J.V. (1); Student Council (4). Here is another one of our suave and better-looking crew members. Buddy is also the best-dressed male on our ship. College is ahead for him, and if his future plans materialize, success is due north with no interruptions. Justine J. Bliss “Teenie One of our best dancers, Justine can do justice to any music. Her efficiency and even temperament are the envy of her many shipmates. As a competent secretary, Teenie is just what the skipper of this ship needs. Ronald V. Borland “Ronny” Football J.V. (1, 2). Ronny is one sailor who is usually seen ferrying a crowd of boys and girls around. This genial lad means fun for everyone, and we hope that the wind never goes out of his sails. Donald E. Bowen “Don'’ Pro-Merito (4); Boys State (3). Don is another of our very intelligent shipmates who has a career in math all charted out. His warm but quiet personality has won him the title of the “Strong Silent One.” We’re sure that Don will succeed admirably in all his voyages. Michael G. Breer “Speedy” Track Varsity (3, 4). Here is one of the friendliest and funniest guys on board. Although tending to he a little rebellious at times, Mike has finally settled down. Johnson Teachers’ College is a possibility for this crew member, and if not, what could be more appropriate than the Navy? Elwin J. Bresette “Butch” Pro-Merito (3); Student Council (4). Butch is a favorite on board and is certainly one of our more jolly shipmates. His wit and subtle humor make up for his size, and with his character he’ll never be known as less than “Big Butch.” His career is planned in the field of business administration at Babson College. Terry-Dayle Brigham “Terry” Class Treasurer (3); Future Homemakers of America (2. 3, 4); Solonscope (4); Record Board (3. 4), Art Editor (4); Office Staff (4). As Miss Kettelle’s chief officer, Terry has earned her stripes. Also she has filled in capably on all her duties at school as well as on the Record. In the fall she’ll set sail for a career in teaching, which, judging by a certain constant escort, may be combined with marriage. Linda L. Brock “Linda” G. A. A.;Masque (1, 2). Linda is the dark and enigmatic “Femme Fatale” who re- turned to us after a year’s absence sailing in seas south of us. We wish we had just a little of her literary and artistic talents. Among her plans for the future is the ambition to visit Mexico. Bon Voyage—don't forget to come back! Meridan J. Brooks “Doc Cafeteria Staff (1, 2). Curly blond hair and lively eyes are the trade-mark ol this sailor hoy. With his skill in shop he should have no problems building his ship for the voyage into the future. We wish you good seas and fair weather. Doc. Arlene R. Brown “Arlene Arlene joined our crew in her junior year, and it certainly didn't take her long to become acquainted with all crew members. She never seems to be at a loss for friends and seldom appears without escort. Best of luck to you in the future, Arlene. Jerry A. Bryan “Jerry” Freshman Chorus (1), Boys' Chorus (3, 4), Mixed Chorus (1, 3, 4), All-State Chorus (3), Treasurer Mixed Chorus (4). An inquiring mind and a curious nature have endeared Jerry to his shipmates. At the toss of the hat, he rolls out a sea chantey for you. Whichever college Jerrry chooses will have one of our best assets. Carolyn M. Bryant “Carolyn’' G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (2), 100 Point Award (3), Treasurer (3), President (4); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), Pin (3), “Charlie’s Aunt (2), “Our Town (4), “When Shakespeare’s Ladies Meet’’ (4); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’Glee Club (2, 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (3, 4), Vice-President (3), President (4); Orchestra (1, 2, 3, 4). All-State Orchestra (1, 2, 3, 4), All-New England Orchestra (3); Pro-Merito (3); Silver “M (4); Girls State (3). We might as well categorize Carolyn as navigator of our sea-going vessel. Whether her next port is Barnard or RadclifTe, we know that she will continue to contribute as much as she has here at M.H.S. Elizabeth A. Byrne Betty” G. A. A. Cl, 2, 3). (1 2, 3); Solonscope (2, 3); Record Board (4); Masque YVe were glad to see Betty sail back to Montpelier alter living in Idaho for a short time last year. Betty’s sparkling blue eyes seem always to be seeking a good time--perhaps she’s think- ing of a career in modern dance. Bet’s future plans find her drifting far from home maybe it’s Idaho State. Roy W. Bushey “Roy” We couldn’t ask for a better friend and crew member is what Roy s friends say. He’s one of our most avid sports fans, and that blue Ford got him to all the games. He also managed to do a nice job of holding his scholastic average. Maybe this is just the beginning of a wonderful future for one of our favorite sailor boys. John R. Champoux “Johnny” Basketball J.V. (1, 2), Letter fl); Track J.V. (2, 3), Varsity (4), Letter (2, 4); Class President (1, 3); Freshman Chorus (1); Junior Prom Committee (3). Johnny, one of our handsomest and most charming sailors on board, has a lass in every port. We can expect him to climb right to the top of the mast and stay there. We wish him the best of success in his future career of hotel management. Patrick A. Cotey “Pat” Football J.V. (2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (2, 3, 4); Basketball J.V. (1), Varsity (2, 3, 4), Manager (1, 2, 3, 4); Baseball J.V. (2); Projectionist (1, 2, 3, 4), Chief Projectionist (3, 4); Silver M” (4); Boys State (3). The busiest sailor on deck is Pat. Running the projector is one of his specialties; dancing is another. On the football field you will find him playing the game every minute. In fact, he’s an asset to any team sport in which he participates. Keep your eye on this man—he has a future worth watching. George E. Curtis “Get) George may be seen anytime from 3:29 on flying low in his roadster. This friendly fellow is, at present, undecided which course to chart for the future. However, we know he’ll take all seas full steam ahead and never let himself be hit broadside by the waves. Richard F. Daniels Dick This tall, dark, mysterious deckhand seems to evade all our questions except the ones about a lass in every port. We can expect a busy and entertaining voyage when Dick is in charge of all entertainment and recreation aboard ship. Laurel A. Day “Laurel” Future Homemakers of America (1, 2); Freshman Chorus (1). Laurel, one of our quieter shipmates, is our candidate for keeping an office running smoothly and in ship-shape condition. On her next cruise she’ll be a salaried crew member. Good luck to you in the future, Laurel, and we’re sure your shipmates will enjoy having you aboard. David C. Doyle “Charlie” Football J.V. (1, 2), Varsity (4), Letter (1); Baseball (1); Track J.V. (1, 4). Dave may be classified as one of the best-dressed crew members whose duffle is full of handsome clothes. In football, baseball and track we never could have done without this hand- some matey. Next fall will find him either at Norwich or VMI. SCO '1 Sis Shirley A. Drake Shirley is a crew member with a warm personality and a quiet air. Many know her as the whiz of the home economics class. Perhaps she will use her talents in this field to success- fully launch her own ship. Ruth E. Duprey “Gabby” Here is another crew member who keeps the ship’s office running smoothly. Always calm, cool and collected, she manages to keep us all on an even keel when the weather gets a little rough. We wish her the best of sailing in the future and hope she’ll keep us posted on the [x rts she touches in her voyages. G. David Eaton “Dave” Dave, our audacious skier, is at home both on land and on skis. A four-year college preparatory student, Dave is still medi- tating on his plans for the future. However, if he keeps up all that skiing, he may find himself in some future Olympic com- petition. Robert S. Edson “Bob” Football J.V. (1. 2). Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3); Boys’Chorus (2, 3, 4). Mixed Chorus (2, 3, 4), Pendant (4) All-State Chorus (3); Band (1, 2, 3, 4), Drum Major (3, 4). All-State Band (4); Orchestra (2, 3, 4); Boys State (3); Baseball Varsity Manager (1, 2, 3, 4). You may find this sailor participating in nearly all of our activities listed on the ship. And, we might add, he seems to achieve recognition in all that he attempts. His sights are set on college in the fall. Martha H. Edwards “Marty” G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (1). 100 Point Award (2), 200 Point Award (3), Secretary (3); Masque (2, 3, 4), Vice- President (3), President (4), ‘St. Joan” (2); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls' Glee Club (2, 3), Mixed Chorus (2), Pro-Merito (3), Silver “M” (4), Solonscope (2, 3, 4); Record Board (2, 3, 4), Faculty Write-ups Editor (4); Girls State (3). With her interest and enthusiasm this crew member is headed for four years at college this fall. Being president of Masque this past year has earned Marty much credit as well as hard work. There’s never a dull—or idle—moment for this versatile gal. Carol A. Farr “Carol” Solonscope (1 2, 3. 4); Record Board (4); Freshman Chorus (1). Mixed Chorus (2, 3), Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3); G. A. A. (2), 50 Point Award (2). Carol is our shy but friendly crew mate. She has put much into her four years both in schoolwork and other activities. Bon voyage and smooth sailing! Marcia C. Farrington “Marcia” G. A. A. (1, 2); Library Staff (4); Masque (1). We’ll vote for Marcia as the best-dressed sailor-girl on board. She also wears a shining diamond on her finger, and we’ve been told that an important launching date is in the offing. Our best wishes for a happy voyage and a fair wind. Louise M. Fernandez “Weezie” G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (3), 100 Point Award (3); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), Treasurer (4), “The Lottery” (3), “Our Town” (4), “The Monkey’s Paw” (4); Record Board (2, 3. 4). Features Editor (4). “Still waters run deep” is an old cliche, but it still proves true in the case of this shipmate. Her four years aboard have been excellent, both scholastically and academically. UVM is to be her next port of call. Victor M. Fortna “Trodd Football J.V. (2), (Letter (2); Ski Team Varsity (1, 2, 3, 4), Letter (3, 4), Captain (4); Track Varsity (3, 4); Pro-Merito (3); Baseball J.V. (2), Varsity (4), Letter (2, 4). When Vic's time is his own, you'll always find him outdoors, perhaps skiing or running track. We don’t know at which college Vic will launch his next ship, but we’re sure his friendly nature will be appreciated wherever he sails. Lilia Fowler Lilia'' This sailor lass never seems to be at a loss for companion- ship or activities while on deck. As a commercial student, she may well put her abilities to work for her in the future until she finds her sailor lad. Susan J. Frost “Sue” G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4); Future Homemakers of America (1); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4); ‘‘When Shakespeare’s Ladies Meet” (4); Freshman Chorus (1); Solonscope (1, 2, 3); Record Board (4). Sue is the tall, willowy blonde who has won many beauty contests this year. Her trip to Alabama was well-deserved, and she is one girl who has a successful and eventful future in store for her. Cooleen M. Ghiringhelli “Cooleen Girls’ Glee Club (4), Mixed Chorus (4); Library Staff (4). Coming from New Hampshire, Cooleen is a new addition to our crew. We hope she has enjoyed her stay on board as much as we have enjoyed having her. As yet she has not revealed her future plans to us, but perhaps she’ll send us word when she puts into port. “Sandy Sandra J. Goodell G. A. A. (1, 2, 3); Future Homemakers of America (2, 3, 4); Pro- Merito (3). Sandy, one of our commercial students, participates in such various activities on our ship as G. A. A. and F. H. A. Many of us think of her as the silent type, but those who really know her tell us differently. If Sandy remains as happy as she is now, we are sure her life will be a pleasant one. Robert J. Graeme “Bobby Meet the radio technician of our crew. If your radio needs fixing, just call on Bobby. We presume he’s mapped out a future career for himself in the field of electronics. Clifton Haggett “Cliff Projectionist (4). Cliff is our ship projectionist. If you ever want to see any movies or slides, search him out. Everyone keeps him so very busy showing films that his schedule is quite filled up. We are sure that his future will be a “reel” happy one. Pauline C. Hall “Polly G. A. A. (1, 2, 3), 50 Point Award (1), 100 Point Award (3); Future Homemakers of America (4); Girls' Glee Club (3, 4), Mixed Chorus (4); Band (1, 2). Polly is one of our quietest shipmates. Her friendly “hi” and her willingness to help out when help is needed have won her many friends. These attributes are sure to carry her to the top of the ladder of success. Jay R. Harding “Ralph Football J.V. (1, 2), Letter (1); Basketball J.V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (1, 3); Baseball J.V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (1, 3); Pro-Merito (3); Student Council (4). Jay is another sports enthusiast. His skill has contributed much to both our baseball and basketball teams. We all wish you the best of luck at UVM, Jay. Ruth B. Harris “Ruthie” G. A. A. (1, 4); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2, 4), Mixed Chorus (4), All-State Chorus (4); Band (1, 2, 3); Record Board (4); Future Homemakers of America (1). This happy crew member has been a great asset to G. A. A. She may often be found in the commercial department, busily doing many jobs. Next year she will be found at Lyndon Teachers' College and perhaps after that as a teacher at M.H.S. Kathleen Hartman “Kathy” G. A. A. (2, 3. 4), 50 Point Award (2); Future Homemakers of America (4), Historian (4); Masque (4); Freshman Chorus (1). Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3), Mixed Chorus (3), Pendant (3); Pro-Merito (3), Office Staff (3, 4); Silver M” (4); Student Council (4); Soion- scope (1, 2, 3, 4); Record Board (2, 3, 4), Organizations Editor (4). Kathy’s artistic talent makes her a natural for the title of official ship decorator. She has varied interests, Barre being one of them. Friendliness is another of this lass’ talents. In her future we see four years of college navigation. Gordon C. Hawkins “Giddy Pro-Merito (4). Gordie is another one of our quieter deck hands, but his name appears frequently on the ship’s honor roll. An avid auto and machine fan, he is a natural whiz in science. This happy- go-lucky chap may sail far in life! Lorraine M. Hayford “Lorraine5' G. A. A. (1,2, 3,4). Here is one crew member who has a unique career in view. “I’m in the Army Now” will be Lorraine's theme song instead of “Bell Bottom Blues.” This enthusiastic basketball player, who certainly helped out the G. A. A. this year, is also a bowling en- thusiast. “Judy” Solonscope (3)). Joan—no, Judy—no, wrong again! Joan is the other half of our well-known twins. From the gleam in her eyes and also on her left hand her future is obvious to all. Our best wishes for a happy voyage and smooth sailing. Joan M. Hayward Judy L. Hayward “Joan” After making sure that this is really Judy, we can sagely say that this is the twin who has her future all mapped out. Marriage is her next port of call, and we hope she will find much happiness in her destination. Lee C. Hersey “Lee” Basketball (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3), Captain (4); Baseball (1, 2, 3, 4), Letter (1); Class Vice-President (2). Lee has contributed much to our basketball and baseball teams. Though sometimes shy, he is well-known to all on the M.H.S. Pinafore. Here’s hoping for a happy future for you, matey! Barbara J. Holt “Barb G. A. A. (1, 2, 3); Band (1, 2, 3); Orchestra (1, 3); Pro-Merito (3); Silver M” (4); Student Council (1, 2, 3, 4), Secretary-Treasurer (2), Vice-President (3), President (4); Girls State (3). As our Student Council president, Barbie never seems to have a spare moment. Her winning personality has gained her many friends aboard our ship. Her versatility finds her active in a number of fields. In the fall she’ll be setting her sails for Boston and Simmons with her sights fixed on a career in nursing. Jon K. Hutchins “Jon As one of our ship’s entertainers, John can turn almost any situation into a comedy. Ilis knack for humor and for making friends has carried him successfully through high school and will continue throughout life. We wonder which branch of the armed services he will choose. Stephen A. Huttenlock ‘Steve Student Council (1, 2, 3, 4); Chairman Assembly Committee (4). We now introduce our best-natured crew member—and a very active one, at that. Chairmaning the Assembly Committee in the Student Council is but one of his many activities. Next year he’s off to college. “Nedra” G. A. A. (2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (2), 100 Point Award (2), 200 Point Award (3), 300 Point Award (4); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), Pin (2), Letter (4), “Curious Savage” (1), Smokey Mountain (1), Variety Show (1), New' England One-Act Plays (2), John Brown's Body (3), When Shakespeare’s Ladies Meet (4); Pro-Merito (3), Silver “M (4); Solonscope (1, 2). Don’t be surprised if you see Nedra backstage on Broadway; she’s a dedicated thespian and director. Perhaps her psychology' will be useful in dealing with temperamental actors. She has also been invaluable to G. A. A.; especially during basketball and softball seasons. This fall will find her at UVM. “Sue” Susan A. Knapp G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (1), 100 Point Award (2), 200 Point Award (3), Vice-President (4); Masque (1); Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3), Mixed Chorus (2, 3); Band (1); Orchestra (4); Student Council (3, 4), Secretary-Treasurer (4); Record Board (2, 3); Pro- Merito (3); Silver “M” (4). This versatile, pretty gal always seems to have something planned. Whether it he skiing or other activities of the Student Council or G. A. A., she never has much time to spare. We wish her success at UVM in the following years. Lynda M. LaBounty “Lynda” G. A. A. (1); Future Homemakers of America (1); Solonscope (1, 2); Record Board (3). Our faithful ship is even supplied with a beautician with a future. Her own coiffure is sufficient advertisement for a profit- able salon of her own. Perhaps after graduation, a partner-ship will develop. Leonard J. Lacount “Laffy” Football J.V. (2); Track Varsity (1, 2, 3). Lenny is our happy-go-lucky sailor boy on deck. Lenny has contributed much during his four years in sports. Football was his forte, and the Solons couldn’t have managed without him on the team. Lenny hopes to find a lucrative job after he disembarks. P. Jeffrey Ladd “Jeff” 1 his hilarious matev always seems to be finding some type of mischief. His friendly manner and carefree attitude have won him many friends. Next year it’s prep school before college. Lawrence E. LaFlam “Laffy” Football J.V. (1, 2); Basketball J.V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3); Baseball J.V. (1), Varsity (2, 3, 4); Student Council (3). This sailor boy is tops in many ways. His good looks and sense of humor have cut much ice for him during his four years. Excelling in sports, Larry has helped the Solons on course. His plans are tentative, but you can be sure he’ll pick something out of the blue. Robert E. Laird “Bob Basketball J.V. (2); Science Club (1. 2)); American Athletic As- sociation (1, 2). Bob joined our crew two years ago and has proved to be a fine addition. During his junior year he transferred from Wal- pole, New Hampshire, where he was an active member of the science club and the American Athletic Association. What will be your next port of call, Bob? Clair G. Lane “Clair” Pro-Merito (4). Clair is one sailor boy whose interests on land are as varied as those on board the great outdoors, and hunting in particular, attract this crew member. Chemistry is one of his specialties, and perhaps it holds the formula for successful future voyages for him. Peter A. Lavin “Pete” Football J.V. (1), Varsity (3, 4), Letter (3), Captain (4); Baseball J.V. (1), Varsity (3), Letter (1, 3); Junior Prom Committee Chair- man (3). Pete might be able to provide some entertainment. Between his bongo drums and the Kingston trio there’s never a dull moment. Sports and making friends were his specialties this year. We hope he will be successful in the career which he has mapped out in the field of mathematics. Diane R. Law “Dinah” Masque (2, 3); Future Homemakers of America (1, 2); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls' Glee Club (2, 3), Mixed Chorus 2, 3); Solon- scope (2, 3); Record Board (3). One of our friendly ship-mates, Dinah is well-suited for a career as an airline hostess. You will probably find her on TWA since she prefers traveling in our United States. If you want fun, just come aboard wherever Diane is a member of the crew. Janet D. Leonard “Jan” Future Homemakers of America (1, 2); Library Staff (4); Masque (1, 2, 3. 4), Pin (4), “Our Town (4); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls' Glee Club (2, 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (3, 4); Solonscope (1, 2, 3). Jan might well be given the title of our vessel’s official librar- ian. In this capacity we have found her indispensable. Even though she’s a quiet sailor, she’s always right on deck when there’s work to be done. Best of luck to you on future seas, Jan. Joyce I. Lowry “Jo” G. A. A. (1); Cafeteria Staff (2, 3, 4); Solonscope (4). Joyce is our choice for the captain's secretary because as an efficient commercial student she would be able to keep the log straight and up to date. Her pleasant smile has won her many friends, and it really radiates when she’s thinking about the future. P. Gail MacAlister “Gail” G. A. A. (1, 2, 3); Masque (1); Record Board (4). Gail, a girl with a friendly personality, is one of our funnier shipmates. Besides being a “live wire,” she was voted “class clown.” Any voyage is one to remember when this gal is aboard. Keep your eye on her in the future, for she has great ambitions to be realized. Bradley S. Maunsell “Mouse” Student Council (4); Masque (1); Record Board (4). Here is the carrot-topped sailor of the Solon Ship. Brad s friendly disposition has won him many friends. We don't want to miss the party which launches Brad on his future career or college. Marcelyn S. Maxham “Marcy” Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (2, 3, 4); Solonscope (3, 4); Record Board (4). Marcy is our tall senior shipmate with the quiet and sedate air. It will be difficult to fill her place in Chorus next year. However, we’re sure that her abilities—both curricular and extra- curricular—will be greatly appreciated at Johnson Teachers’ College, her next port. Thomas S. McGibney “Moose” Student Council (2, 3); Ticket Squad (1, 2, 3). Our Tom is a friend to every crew member on board. We all are sorry to part with this jolly old chap. As a member of our class day committee, he has helped to make possible a very pleasing class day agenda. Tom’s future is mapped out in the field of mechanics. James C. McIntyre “Doc” Masque (1); Ticket Squad (1, 2, 3, 4); Junior Prom Co-Chairman (3). Jim is one of our industrious members on the M.H.S. Pinafore. Also, he is a very friendly one. As a member of the college prep crew he has raised himself to the top of the scholastic ladder. Next year’s sea-going plans include college. C. Franklin Melcher “Casp' Masque (1, 2); Projectionist (1); Ticket Squad (1, 2, 3, 4). Frank is our astronomer plus. That he is a lover of science fiction is obvious to anyone conversing with him. We see his future in the field of science. College is in the near future for this unique sailor boy. Pauline R. Merritt “Polly” G. A. A. (2, 3. 4); Girls' Glee Club (4). Mixed Chorus (4); Pro- Merito (4); Solonscope (2, 3. 4), News Editor (4), Record Board (2, 3, 4), Editor (4). Boarding our ship in her sophomore year from Boston, this pert and active little blonde has been invaluable to us in both the literary and musical fields. Polly has earned well the title of Skipper of the M.H.S. Pinafore as its competent editor. Her charming and outgoing personality will carry her successfully through college at Coty and a full and rewarding life. Joan Miglierini “Joanie” G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (1), 100 Point Award (2), 200 Point Award (3); Office Staff (3, 4); Student Council (4); Solonscope (1, 2); Record Board (2, 3, 4). Now we meet our other “best-natured” crew member. Joanie is able to take everything as it comes and has sailed happily through her four years. Being in many of the organizations on deck has kept her quite busy. It’s UVM for her this coming fall. Belvia E. Nelson “Belvia This happy-go-lucky senior is one of our successful mates on deck. She always seems to have a smile for everyone, and her little V-W is always overflowing with other crew members. As a serious commercial student, she is certain to have a bright future. “Franne” Francelia Nelson Cheerleading J.V. (1), Varsity (2, 3); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), “Toast of Montpelier” (1), “St. Joan” (2), “Our Town” (4), “The Glass Menagerie” (4); Freshman Chorus (1); Pro-Merito (3); Office Staff (3, 4); Silver “M” (4); Solonscope (1, 2, 3, 4), Features Editor (4); Record Board (2, 3, 4), Senior Write-ups Editor (4); Junior Prom Committee Chairman (3). Our vivacious former cheerleader has now settled down to a more domestic life. The Mid-West beckons her after graduation, and four years majoring in psychology are a very possible future. Bon voyage, Franne! Norman K. Otis “Big Otis” Football J.V. (1), Varsity (2, 3), Letter (2); Basketball J.V. (1), Varsity (2, 3, 4), Letter (2), Captain (4); Baseball Varsity (1, 2, 3, 4), Letter (1); Class President (1); Boys State (3). Regardless of the season, Norm can find some sport in which to excel. This shipmate is always noticed but very seldom heard. He can be readily identified by his M.H.S. sweater covered with well-earned letters. Sighting ahead, we find college his next desti- nation. Else G. Oye “Else” Student Council (4); Record Board (4); Masque (4); G. A. A. (4). It would take several volumes to express all that Else has contributed to our ship, M.H.S. Pinafore, and our senior year. As you know, she is our first foreign exchange student and “The greatest ever.” Everything that Else is and represents has made her very dear to us and will always be remembered by the Ciass of 1960. From cover to cover, The Record is most appreciative of her artistic ability. The month of July will find her returning to Norway by jet. Happy landings, Else! Sally A. Patterson “Sal” Cheerleading J.V. (1), Varsity (2, 3, 4), Captain (4); Class Treasurer (2); Future Homemakers of America (1), Secretary (1); Pro- Merito (3); Office Staff (2. 4); Silver “M” (4); Solonscope (3); Record Board (4); Junior Prom Committee Chairman (3). Sal will always be remembered as the peppy cheerleader of our victory bound vessel. Between cheers she can usually be found helping out in the office or in the typing room. Next fall finds Sal sailing to Champlain College in Burlington. We’re curious—Is that the beginning of your desire to take a trip around the world? Sandra L. Pecor “Sandy' Sandy appeal's quiet to some of us, but those who know her best say we are mistaken. We see some hidden talent in the field of sports. As a commercial student, she’s aiming for a position in this field. But who knows—she might be sailing the sea ot matrimony! VI Robert L. Poirier Bob This matey is one of our easy-going shiphands who takes everything as it comes. He hopes that his hard-earned steps in high school may lead him to college when he disembarks this June. Jane M. Pollard “Jane Freshman Chorus (1); G. A. A. (2, 3, 4); Mixed Chorus (3, 4); Future Homemakers of America (1, 3, 4); Masque (1); Solonscope (3, 4). Jan, one of our commercial students, is one of the quieter students. She is, however, very industrious and looks into the hori- Sarah F. Pond “Polly Class President (2); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (3); Orchestra (1, 2, 3. 4); Pro-Merito (4); Silver M” (4); Student Council (3, 4); Solonscope (1, 2, 3, 4), Editor (4); G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (2), 100 Point Award (2). This pretty little senior never has any minutes to spare because she is always in a hurry with her editorship on the Solon- scope and her other activities. As one of our scholastic leaders, she has already chosen her college. With her ambition and per- sonality, she will reach a high goal. zon of a pleasant future. “Becky” Rebecca I . Pope Freshman Chorus (1); Band (1, 2, 3, 4); Orchestra (3); Future Homemakers of America (2); Solonscope (2, 3); G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4); Record Board (3, 4), Business Manager (4); Pro-Merito (3); Silver M” (4). This versatile mate has added to the musical, academic and athletic activities on board. Although she has been nominated as class apple polisher, we hasten to assure you that her success is due to her consistent conscientiousness and sincerity. Though her future course will take her far from home, we’re sure she'll sail all the seas successfully. Frank R. Pratt Ticket Squad (2, 3, 4). Frank’s future, like that of out in advanced education at Wentworth. In many ways he has been an asset to our school. Success is yours to strive for, Frank. We will miss you! C. Douglas Price, Jr. “Doug” Doug hails from Michigan and we’ve found their loss to be our gain. He aspires to be an architect, and we give him a hearty salute. Sportswise, hockey and fishing seem to concentrate his most avid attention. We’re glad you came aboard, Doug, and we wish you the best of luck in the future. Clarence M. Roya “Clarence Clarence, one of our taller and quieter crew members, is also the friendliest. After putting ashore at the end of our cruise, he hopes to find an inside job at which he can make piles of money. Have you applied at the United States Mint yet, Clarence? 'I “Frank” most of the seniors, is mapped “Rich” Richard E. Ryan Football J.V. (2). Rich is another one of our quieter members on deck. He has worked hard throughout his four years. As an able seaman, he can, we are sure, chart his future course to ports of success L. Sansing “Sandy” Freshman Chorus (1); G. A. A. (1); Masque (1). Sandy is another shipmate with a career all mapped out— she will be joining the women’s armed services. However, a certain person may change her C(r)ourse for a very happy future. Deborah J. Skeels “Debbie'’ G.A.A. (1, 4), 50 Point Award (1); Masque (1, 3, 4), “Our Town” (4); Band (1, 3, 4). All-State Band (4); Student Council (1, 4); Junior Prom Co-Chairman (3). Debbie could easily fill in as our ship’s entertainment director. With this girl’s wit and personality, every voyage would be hilarious and happy. Let’s hope Debbie’s winning ways bring her as much success throughout life as they have at M.H.S. Roberta H. Slosberg “Berty” G. A. A. (1, 2, 3); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), “Charlie's Aunt” (2), “Romance, Inc.” (2); Solonscope (2, 3, 4); Record Board (4), Treasurer (4); Freshman Chorus (1). If you wish to find charm and a cheerful personality, look for Berty. She reflects these and many more fine qualities. She has no worries about her future. Champlain College will greet her in the fall for training in the medical secretarial field. We certainly dread to see her leave our ship. David W. Smith “Smitty” Football J.V. (1), Varsity (2, 3, 4), Letter (2, 3, 4), Manager (1, 2, 3 4); Cafeteria Staff (1); Forensic Society (1, 2), Novice (1), Varsity (2); Library Staff (4); Masque (1, 2), “The Solid Gold Cadillac” (3), “The Curious Savage” (1); Ticket Squad (4). Smitty is one of our favorite deckhands who was a big help to the football team. His thatch of red hair and his aromatic pipe make him hard to miss. Dave is a pint-sized guy with giant plans for the future. Brian L. Spicer “Brian” Brian is one of our more considerate and friendly crew mem- bers. His familiar “hi there” has made him a favorite with all his fellow' sailors. Brian's industry and dependability will set and keep him on course. Gordon J. Spidle “Gordon” Gordon is one of our quieter but successful shipmates. As a commercial student, he stands high in his course. His plans are to find a lucrative position for the future, and with his ability he must succeed. Cecilia A. St. Pierre “Cecilia Solonscope (4). Cecilia is our official secretary aboard ship. This efficient lass is already well established in an office job, and the members of our crew will miss her when it comes to keeping our logs and records straight. Robert G. Stewart “Bob' Quiet but friendly, Bob is a pleasant addition to our crew. As a commercial student, his marks are well earned, and he has made our four years at M.H.S. happy ones. Next year it will be a job for Bob. Stanley H. Sumner “Stan' Library Staff (4); Masque (1); Freshman Chorus (1), Boys’ Chorus (2), Mixed Chorus (2). Stan is one sailor boy who has a big desire to see Hawaii. What better opportunity than to keep right on sailing? He could very well have charge of a ship’s art gallery for he has much talent in this field. How about joining the Navy, Stan? Huldah W. Tenney “Huldie” Masque (2, 3, 4), “St. Joan” (2), “Our Town” (4), “Prettiest Girl in Town’’ (1); Mixed Chorus (2); Band (1, 2); Solonscope (3, 4); Record Board (4). Huldie, a tall, attractive blonde, was introduced to M.H.S. during her sophomore year. Her striking and sweet personality have added to listing her as extra special to all of us. Being in nearly all activities, she has not very many spare moments. Adding much spice and glamour on board the M.H.S. Pinafore, she is an important asset to all. It will be UVM in the future where she will major in the course of psychiatric social work. Nancy L. Thompson “Nancy” Nancy is a girl who could easily take charge of the galley. We understand that during the summer she’s a popular gal at Farr’s. Next year’s course is already charted for her, and we wish her all success and happiness. Joyce G. Walker “Joyce” Future Homemakers of America (3); Masque (1); Solonscope (1, 2); Record Board (4). Joyce, as a very friendly gal on the MHS Pinafore, is a happy addition to our crew. As a member of various activities, she is kept quite busy atschool. When she is out of school, she is usually kept busy in Barre. Her future is all mapped out for her. This fall she will be at Westbrook Junior College in Maine. Carroll E. Witham “Carroll” Ticket. Squad (3, 4); Band (1, 2, 3. 4). Here is another of our quieter and more intelligent shipmates. During his four years he has worked hard, and his efforts have been rewarded. After disembarking, he plans to attend college in the fall—maybe Wentworth. However, wherever he goes he will study engineering. Elaine F. Witham “Elaine” Solonscope (3); Pro-Merito (3). We may now present another of our commercial geniuses. Besides excelling scholastically, she is also a calm, collected, easy- going, friendly person with a course of success before her. Bon voyage and bonne chance! Allen B. Alexander “Joe” As one of our better-natured mates, Joe has seemed to enjoy all of his years on board. His plans for landing in the future are tentative, so he tells us; but we’re sure he’ll be welcomed in what- ever port he chooses. Charles E. Hale “Charley Here’s another commuter from East Montpelier, and we’re glad he thinks it’s worth the daily voyage down to M.H.S. Although Charley is one of our less vocal seniors, he’s certainly one of our more conscientious crew members whose sincere manner makes him a worthwhile friend. We wish you the best of luck and success in all future voyages, Charley! Arthur Wissell “Art We again find another friendly, enthusiastic sailor boy on hand. Besides being a crew member of the commercial classes, he strives to plan his future course so that he will have smooth sailing with the minimum of rough seas. We think that all is in your favor, Art, for a successful future. CHARTEI) HATERS ITEM APPRENTICE (Freshman) 2nd MATE (Sophomore) 1st MATE (Junior) CAPTAIN (Senior) OPPOSITE SEX Ick!

CHASTNEY Principal of Montpelier High School The Class of 1960 Montpelier High School Ladies and Gentlemen: Within two weeks of the writing of this letter the Class of 1960 will be members of the Mont- pelier High School Alumni Association. As you grow to maturity, each following a different road, you will advance along that road toward your goals at varying rates of speed. The goals will differ, just as your capabilities, interests and strengths will vary. The road will sometimes be rough and sometimes pleasant. But the goal must be attained. When at the end of the journey you look back over the road you have traveled, may you, like St. Paul, be able to say “I have fought a good fight; I have run my course; I have kept the faith.” Whatever road you select by which to make your journey, know that our best wishes for your success and our prayers accompany you. Sincerely yours, ROBERT H. CHASTNEY Principal PHILIP H. MATHEWSON Superintendent of Schools Each Senior Class graduating from Montpelier High School differs in size, interests and abili- ties. A class is remembered by the imprint it has made on the lives of its graduates. Montpelier High School has given you a fine education. It has taught you howr to learn and it has imparted specific knowledge to you. Your success in life to a great degree will depend upon how well you apply the knowledge you now have toward obtaining more knowledge. Education is a life-long process. True success comes by hard work and the application of yourself to the task at hand. May you in years to come look back on your high school days with real satisfaction. Best wishes to you in the years ahead. PHILIP H. MATHEWSON GLENN AIKEN Physics, Chemistry, Electronics attended University of Vermont, Amherst College received B.S.

Sue Knapp, Stan Sloan, Buddy Birchard While Taking A Tour of our ship’s activities, we accidentally walked into the biweekly Student Council meeting which, they tell us, always opens with a bang. The president, Barb Holt, is rapping her gavel and calling the meeting to order and attention. As the dust settles, the minutes are read by crew secretary Sue Knapp. We learn that the Council operated this year under a new system, which consisted of a main council of class representatives and an executive council including officers and one member elected from each class. The Council spent a busy year in- vestigating such problems as open dances for M.H.S., solid session, and the draft- ing of a new constitution. In addition to this, council members took charge of the lunch lines and proctored both a “quiet” and a “social” study hall during the noon hours. To raise money, the Student Council sponsored the 1959 mag- azine drive and sold sweatshirts to many students. We all agreed that the hard-working members should be complimented for a fine year’s work. Bonne chance to next year’s incoming officers. SIXTY THE RECORD BOARD First Row: L. Fernandez, F. Nelson. E.

Babcock. D. Henson, A. Lane As We Continue our tour, we notice much confusion in the adjoining room. This calls for an investigation. Upon entering, we find a room of great ex- citement. Determined to find out what is causing all this commotion, we ap- proach three busy persons who seem to be surrounded by many other busy per- sons. Polly Merritt, editor-in-chief, in- troduces herself and her two assistant editors, Alison Lane and Kathy Irving. Polly explains to us that they are fur- iously making last minute plans for the completion of the yearbook. After talking with some of the other participants in this great activity, we are able to glean bits of the year’s his- tory of the “Bigger and Better RE- CORD.” At the start of the year the group began its money-making campaign. The basketball games concession, many food sales, book covers, and a dance fea- turing the Norwich Combo were among their ventures. In February the real work began, and after Spring Vacation the ship really began to roll. We must, however, leave them to finish their last pages. As we leave they call after us, “We hope all enjoy THE RECORD!” SIXTY-ONE THE SOLONSCOPE First Row: P. HUI. P. Lane, M. Pond. L. Garcia, W. Merritt. P. Merritt, S. Pond. Mr. Mayo. D. Prescott, L.

Hopkins The Click Clack of the typewriter draws us to the typing room where the machines are racing at an uncontrollable speed. Upon taking our bearings, we find the newspaper staff trying to reach its deadline. As our guide tells us of all the hardships which this newspaper has gone through, we listen with much sur- prise. Even financial problems couldn’t dis- courage our top-notch paper. With Mr. Mayo and the able senior staff of Sally Pond, Franne Nelson, and Polly Merritt, everything was kept under control, and the Solonscope was published on time and provided us with much information and enjoyment. At the mid-years it is the custom for the senior staff to turn over its duties to the juniors who are now headed by Betsy Nelson. There is more to publishing a school paper than writing copy. This year the Solonscope Staff sold cokes at basketball games and sponsored an accordion band concert to help on those pecuniary mat- ters. All the gossip, editorials, sports, news and features of the 1959-1960 Solonscope will be long remembered with thanks to the efforts of everyone connected with the best Solonscope ever. SIXTY-TWO THE FORENSIC SOCIETY First Row: Roy Bushey, Bruc« Renshaw, Miss Murray, Peter Winters. Dale Walker Second Row: Robert Morgan. Miles Prentice. Richard Grant. Steven Leonard, Michael Brainerd. Robert Prentice Much Discussion and debate from the next cabin tell us that we must be in the vicinity of the debaters. We soon find our supposition to be correct. Upon learning the purpose of our investigating tour, one of the members immediately comes forward and volunteers to help us in any and all possible ways. He intro- duces himself as Miles Prentice, president of the M.H.S. Forensic Society, and then presents their advisor and coach, Miss Murray. With the formalities over, we immediately began chatting about the year's activities. The topic chosen for the year was— Resolved: That the Federal Government should substantially increase its regu- lation of labor unions. Both the novice and the varsity crews have debated this topic at several interscholastic tourna- ments including the Montpelier High In- vitational Tournament. The novice team is to be congratulated for a fine perform- ance which brought them first honors. An outstanding event of this year was the presentation to the school library of sixty dollars for the purchase of new books. This money was won in 1959 by the Novice Team at the Vermont State Debate Tournament which was held at UVM. We're looking for next year's Varsity Team to sweep the field.

Vice-president Barb Robin- son, secretary Carol Bianchi, and treas- urer Louise Fernandez are all on hand to do their various duties which are all a part of being officers in such an active organization. Mr. Kister, the very able director and advisor, welcomes us and begins to brief us about this year’s acti- vities. The first production of the year was Our Town, which of course you know wras written by Thornton Wilder and is concerned with the people of a typical New England town. Special recognition should be given to Tina Edwards who had the role of the narrating stage manager. SIXTY-FOUR MASQUE First Row: W. Neveau, L. Hughes. A .Johnston. P. Jewett. S. Morse. A. Cleveland.

These three direc- tors put heart and soul into the pro- duction of their plays, and even the dress rehearsals were inspired perform- ances. Next came the one-act play contest at which the M.H.S. Masquers presented “The Monkey’s Paw” by W. W. Jacobs. The piece de resistance of the season was the spring performance of The Glass Menagerie in which a select cast epito- mized the acting ability for wrhich the Masque is well known. Certainly all participating members of the Masque must have a feeling of accom- plishment and pride in a successful sea- son as they take their final curtain call. SIXTY-FIVE PRO-MERITO First Row: P.

Edson. P. Cotey. N. Otis. M. Prentice. D. Bowen. J. Harding. P. Lavin As We Enter one of the smaller rooms we find a small group of happy people who are discussing nostalgically some past experiences. We deduce from their conversation that they are members of the Boys and Girls State delegation. They inform us that they were selected during their junior year as representa- tives from Montpelier High to partici- pate in the annual assembly at Norwich and Vermont College. They then enlight- en us further on the purpose of the Boys and Girls State. During the first few days at both Vermont College and Nor- wich University, the students experienced a strenuous week of assembling, cam- paigning, legislating and making new friends. Any student who suffers from a strong superiority complex quickly los- es it during this week of working, and living with some of the most outstand- ing boys and girls in Vermont. This week of activities included sports (bowling, tennis, softball, baseball), glee club, band, journalism, and many other activities. These delegates represented our school well, and we certainly should be proud of them. SIXTY-SEVEN AMERICAN FIELD SERVICE Michael Brainerd, Alison Lane, Mrs. Allen, Mr. Sloan The Next Stop on our excursion seems to be the A.F.S. Club. Upon entering vve find quite a large and enthusiastic crew before us. The president Mike Brainerd invites us to hear how this exciting club began at M.H.S. and what it has contri- buted. The story began in early September when a Norwegian girl, Elsa Oye, jour- neyed to our country and into our lives. She became our first foreign student and a very special and interesting one we found. Therefore, a club was formed for any who wished to take some interest in this program. Advised by Mrs. Allen and Mr. Sloan, the club grew in success and size. Throughout the spring, all the club members went about busily collect- ing money at school and elsewhere. Then on a weekend in May they had a Tag Day which enabled them to raise a huge sum of money. All this capital will be invested in our exchange student’s trip to Europe. Mike Brainerd is the fortu- nate person who sailed for Finland on June 9th. After spending six weeks there, he will return in early August. It will certainly be a rewarding experi- ence for him and we shall look forward to his arrival in the United States. Maybe “you” will be the one to sail for Europe next year under this program! SIXTY-EIGHT LIBRARY STAFF P. Winters, L. Somers, D. Smith, C. Ghiringhelli, J. Downing, Mrs. Allen. A. Silverman, S. Bisssell, Mrs. Kister “Quiet is appreciated,’’ whispers one of the students in charge as we suddenly find ourselves chattering in the library doorway. We stand in awe as we look around. “So many books and materials for a school library,” we exclaim. Our guide and hostess tells us that if we wish she will relate to us some of this library’s history. We learn that the li- brary of M.H.S. opened for students and faculty this year for the first time since we moved into our new building. The collection now includes approximately 1800 books, periodicals, career materials, a clipping file, maps, and pictures. The library staff is composed of Mrs. Allen, the head librarian; Mrs. Kister, and eighteen student aides, four of whom are seniors, Sue Frost, Cooleen Ghiringhelli, Janet Leonard, and David Smith. The library is open from 8:15 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Students may obtain special passes to come from study halls to work on class projects. Drawings, special work done in classes and notices of coming school events are often on display in the library. SIXTY-NINE OFFICE STAFF Left to Right: J. Utton, K.

As we follow our noses, we soon find ourselves in the ship’s gal- ley and tailoring shop. Our hostess in- troduces herself as Mrs. Griggs, advisor of the group. While we are munching cookies, she enlightens us concerning the extra-curricular activities of these cooks and seamstresses. The Future Homemakers of America, better known as FHA to those of us who hear the noon-hour announcements, has now completed its fourth year at M.H.S. President Carol Bianchi has worked hard and contributed much to the success of this year’s voyage. Among other activities, the FHA has spent several work meetings repairing toys to give to the needy at Christmas, Another of their projects was the can- vassing of homes in Ward Six during the Cancer Fund solicitation. As you can see, the members are a civic-minded group. (Yes, thank you, we’ll sample some more cookies!) They were also enthusiastic about their monthly meet- ing programs and the state convention to which they sent delegates. Congratulations, lassies. You’ve sailed a good course. SEVENTY-ONE ORCHESTRA First Row: A. Lane, C. Bryant, P. Chapin, H. Moulton, J. D’Arthenay, M. Brainerd, W. Webster, R. Edson Second Row: S. Hoxcy, R. Benedict, S. Pond, Mr. Fink From The Far End of the corridor we may hear strains of modern music float- ing through the air. As we enter the room from which these fascinating sounds originate, we confront the or- chestra of the M.H.S. Pinafore. Being twelve in number, they are a small but very harmonious group. One of the members informed us that only after mid-years did they gain most of their twelve players. Directed by Mr. Fink, they meet on Wednesdays, only in the morning hours. However, since all are such experienced players, they accomplish much in this short period of time. The music that they play includes everything from Mozart to modern ar- rangements. The instruments represent- ed are the trumpet, violin, clarinet, drum, and trombone. Considering their lack of musicians, they certainly have become a successful group. The members of the senior class who will be leaving this group are Carolyn Bryant, Robert Edson, and Sally Pond. SEVENTY-TWO MIXED CHORUS First Rote: S. Oonlin, S. Murray, J. Gerry, C.

Whitney As We Continue our excursion, we are suddenly distracted by the musical notes of the piano and the mellow voices of many M.H.S. students. We stop to look and listen, we are courteously greeted by the president of the Choruses, Carolyn Bryant, and the director of the Choruses, Miss Newton. We are only too eager to listen to a report of this year’s achieve- ments. Among the many events in which the Mixed Chorus has played a leading musical role are the Winooski Valley Festival, several exchange and city con- certs, and the Baccalaureate and Com- mencement programs. Several of their more qualified singers were selected for the All-State Chorus at the Vermont State Music Festival. Business meetings are necessary to maintain efficient organization and are conducted during chorus periods. Every- one agreed that Linda Baird had been invaluable as wardrobe mistress. As we left we expressed our apprecia- tion for the entertainment with which our chorus has so generously provided us during our cruise. SEVENTY-THREE THE GIRLS’ CHORUS Firat Row: D. Barquin. P. Merritt. W. Merritt. C. Bryant. Miss Newton. S. Murray. S. Conlin, M. Alburger. J. Leonard Second Row: G. Whitney. A. Lindsay. J. Pollard, N. Lord, S. Robertson, J. Downing, S. Rowell, S. Pierce. S.

Allen The Harmony of many alto and soprano voices attracts our attention and draws us to the music room where we find Miss Newton, director of the Girls’ Glee Club, and the members themselves concentrat- ing to create a blend of perfect diction and harmony. When they finally pause we all exclaim that their perseverance and insistence upon perfection haven’t been in vain. Miss Newton informs us that the parti- cipants of the group are sophomores, juniors and seniors who have spent a very eventful and enjoyable year parti- cipating in various concerts here in Mont- pelier, and in the exchange program with Spaulding High School. If you wish to see their eyes sparkle, just mention their unforgettable cruise to Southbridge, Mas- sachusetts. Fortunately the majority of the members are sophomores and juniors who will be re-enlisting next year. As we left we all joined in to give them a round of applause for their contributions to our memorable last year on board. SEVENTY-FOUR THE BOYS’ CHORUS First Row: R. Bryan, H. Moulton, Miss Newton, W. Bruso, F. Laroque Second Row: H. Kreiis, R. Edson, J. Crouse, W. Thompson, S. Bond, S. Leonard Our Attention is called to a distin- guished-looking group of boys; as we admire their green robes we learn that they are the Boys’ Chorus. Not wanting to miss anything, we remain to hear them sing. Certainly the size of the group has no direct relationship to their quality or volume. Finally Jim Crouse convinced us that they had no hidden members or stereophonic gadgets—they were The Sound. Many of these fellows are also members of the Mixed Chorus, and all have contributed much to this year’s musical programs. In their schedule this year were the Southbridge exchange con- certs, school assemblies and concerts, and Senior Week activities. Some of the boys participated in the All-State Chorus and the Winooski Valley Chorus. The entire crew wishes to express its gratitude to this group whose chanteys have made much of our work lighter and more enjoyable. SEVENTY-FIVE VARSITY TWIRLERS S. Wilkinson, P. Hill, J. Teachout, P. King, W. Merritt, Captain B. Robinson ; 5, Upon Entering the gym on a snowy evening of a basketball game, we see the varsity twirlers decked out in their perky outfits of green and white. While the J.V. twirlers are performing, the varsity twirlers wait nervously for their turn. As the former leave the floor, Captain Barb Robinson, making sure that everyone is in her place, sur- veys the crew. The cadence begins, and the twirlers snappily march into forma- tion. Then the band plays a lively march for their routine. Besides twirling at football and basket- ball games, the varsity participated with the band in several concerts, two of these being the ones with Spaulding High School and with the Southbridge High School. Upon observing this lively crew, we find that there are no seniors present. Certainly this should be an asset to next year’s crew. And as we journey on, we wish them much success on next year’s voyage. SEVENTY-SIX THE BAND Firrst Row: W. Merritt. J. Teachout, P. King. B. Robinson, P. Hill. S. Wilkinson Second Row: B. Duke. S.

Could they be playing the rhythmic tune of “Goffin”? An interview with one of the senior members of the crew gives us the whole story of the band’s successful year. Un- der the direction of Mr. Mix, this band is known as one of the best in Vermont. Part of their year’s program has included appearances at home football and basket- ball games. Later in the year they began their concert series. The first was a concert in Montpelier which was followed by a joint concert with Spaulding High in Barre. Then in March they took a cruise to Massachusetts for an exchange concert with the high school at Southbridge, an event which was loked forward to and not soon forgotten. This spring band members participat- ed in the All-State Band at the Vermont State Music Festival in Burlington. The entire band has also been on parade several times this spring. Needless to say, everyone on board is proud of such a wonderful band. SEVENTY-SEVEN THE CHEERLEADERS Left to Right: L. Bates, G. Cassara, R. Barnes, Captain Patterson, S. Pollard, K. Irving, R. Ward At Last we come upon one of the noisiest groups in school — the seven varsity cheerleaders. But their cheering and yell- ing is all for a good cause, and we feel that captain Sally Patterson and her loyal crew of Linda Bates, Robin Burnes, Kathy Irving, Ginny Cassara, Sally Pol- lard and Rhoda Ward have done a swell job in cheering the football and basket- ball teams on to victory. By printing and selling basketball pro- grams and holding weekly fudge and brownie sales, they have raised enough money to dress themselves in new green and white jumper-style uniforms to rep- resent M.H.S. in style at games at home and abroad. They tell us that many wonderful memories will be them always, and one of their fond memories is the frequent stops at the Lincoln Inn in Essex Junc- tion after the basketball games in that surrounding area. Another memory will be the pre-Spaulding pep-rally at the high school on the eve of the game. After brief skits and hopeful cheers, the band led the procession down Winooski Ave- nue and across the bridge into the main intersection. Here they paused while the cheerleaders led the school song and more cheers. Despite the rain the parade marched on to the Capitol where the rally ended with one last cheer to send the Solons on to victory over our rivals seven miles east. Our captain is the only one graduating this year, and the remaining six girls are looking forward to another year as cheerleaders at M.H.S. EIGHTY-TWO THE GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION First Row: D.

On the sidelines of a spirited softball game we learn something of the activities of this group this year. As usual it's been another year, new mem- bers, tournament thrills and FUN, FUN, FUN. With Miss Coleman as advisor, the GAA has been “Doing something every minute” since their October ini- tiation ceremony. The seasonal sports went along with the various other extra- curricular activities, the most popular of w'hich was basketball. Volley ball was especially popular this year as a co-ed activity, while softball and bowling re- mained as popular as ever. Thanks to Miss Coleman, noontime activities such as movies, dancing, checkers and chess were added to the list of activities. The outgoing officers of the crew were president, Carolyn Bryant; vice-presi- dent, Susan Knapp; secretary, Mary Al- burger; and treasurer, Sandra Robert- son. They exclaim that they have en- joyed the course and are quite happy to turn the gavel over to Stephanie Barnes. EIGHTY-THREE FOOTBALL First Row: W. Pressey, J. Otis, P. Fernandez, D. Doyle, M. Prentice, R. Edson, P. Lavin, B. Heaton, D. Smith, manager Second Row: M. Yates, H. Jones, M. Gandley, B. Roya, A. Granger, J. Hughes, L. Pressey, D. Aiken, manager Third Row: T. Murray, C. Haskell, B. Brown, P. Joslin, W. Bruso, S. Sloan, H. Kreis, G. Davis, A. Richardson, R. Purchase, manager Montpelier High School's greatest chronic problem in the field of football was matching other teams in weight and size. Unfortunately this disadvantage was not taken into consideration in the win and loss columns of the papers. But we considered this obvious handicap and know that our team is one of the tops in spirit, integrity, cooperation, and good sportsmanship. Let’s all be glad we were not the worst. Coach Brown agreed that the team spirit and morale had much to do with our success, when it came. In spite of the ups and downs the boys held on gamely, making it impossible for our opponents to ignore the challenge set before them. Morale is difficult to instill in boys when they must face others larger than themselves. The coach main- tained fine team spirit and attitude throughout the season and should be commended for his excellent job. The senior boys to leave the M.H.S. Pinafore are David Smith, Norm Otis, Pat Cotey, Peter Lavin, Bob Edson, Miles Prentice, and David Doyle. As you see, the team shall lose many fine players. EIGHTY-FOUR BASKETBALL First Row: L. Pressey, S. Austin, L. LaFlam, N. Otis, P. Fernandez, P. Chapin, manager Second Row: J. Harding, J. Bossi, J. Otis, M. Gandley, Coach Morrison We now introduce our basketball team of 1960 with Coach Morrison as inter- locutor. The Solons started out the sea- son in a “bang-up” style with four straight pre-league wins. Highlights of the season saw the Solons defeating Burlington 50-48 and scoring a 60-59 overtime victory over Bellows Falls. Montpelier, improving from this year’s record, promises to be even better next year. Norm Otis enjoyed his best season as he led the team with 249 points. Lee Hersey collected 170 points for a very successful season. This adjective also ap- plies to Larry LaFlam and sophomore John Otis. Coach Morrison’s regulars were the Otis brothers, Phil Fernandez, Lee Her- sey, and Larry LaFlam. Of this group, Hersey, Otis, and LaFlam are 1960 grad- uates. Others leaving the basketball scene at M.H.S. are Stan Austin, Jay Harding, and Pete Lavin. SKIING First Row: E. Morse, F. Pierce, G. Gillander, B. Duke, Mr. Morse, P. Mix, V. Fortna, B. Burley Second Row: M. Henning, W. Seguin, B. Taylor, J. Cady, A. Chidester, D. Eaton The 1959-1960 Montpelier High Ski Team and its season were not very ex- ceptional. All through the winter there was scarcely a foot and a half of snow; this made slalom and cross-countrry dif- ficult because the old base snow was wet. Lacking a faculty coach, the team was, however, fortunate to have Mr. Harold Morse as mentor. Among the team can- didates were many promising freshmen in addition to the returning skiers from last year’s team. However, our most talented senior on skis is leaving us. Vic, as captain of the team, headed a well- organized group. We know that next year’s team will miss this good skier and captain. Although this is a rather casual picture of the team, the M.H.S. skiers are a serious group and determined to stick together for next year’s events. Looking to the future, they are going for improved jumping facilities, excel- lent snow cover, and a bigger and better Winter Carnival. Here’s hoping they hit the crest of each wave! EIGHTY-SIX TRACK First Row: D. Walker, P. Mix, F. Pierce, L. Roya, J. Hughes, V. Fortna Second Row: F. Bowman, G. Pierce, L. Harding, B. Roya. S. Stone, Coach Chadbourne Third Row: T. Renshaw, R. Benedict, G. Edson, C. Knapp, D. Aiken The 1960 track team shoved off from the starting blocks in “higher” fashion than in its depressing appearance lasts year. Many new upperclassmen and a large freshman turnout combined to form a larger team than last year. All prac- ticed with a great deal of enthusiasm, even though the team did not produce the title of first place in any meets. Working with limited funds, but a serious group of athletes, Coach Chad- bourne with Sir Renshaw worked nightly with the team, and produced some good prospects. Frank Pierce and Mike Breer both turned in fine running, while John Hughes ran away with the 440, almost attaining the state record. David was all his own in the broad and high jump- ing, w’hile Bill Roya, Vic Fortna, and Larry Harding gave M.H.S. a good lift in the meets. The club was hampered Dy a lack of capital and deserved a little more recog- nition than it got from the school. The team promises to be quite good next year, due to the small percentage of senior boys leaving the M.H.S. Pina- fore, and the returning of its coach, Mr. Chadbourne. EIGHTY-SEVEN BASEBALL Firsrt Row: L. Pressey, A. Richardson, P. Chapin, B. Raymond, L. LaFlam, P. Lavin Second Row: Coach Morrison, D. Martin, J. Harding, J. Bossi. J. Otis, M. Prentice, N. Otis, P. Joslin, L. Hersey Well, another year is in the making and once again M.H.S. is high up in the Northern League standings. With sen- iors Norm Otis and Larry LaFlam hurl- ing for the Green and White, every game to date has been a Solon victory. Much of their success, however, is due to the aid of Les Pressey behind the plate. Next year many new faces will be seen among the candidates who are toss- ing the horsehide. Of course, John Otis, John Bossi, Pete Joslin, and Les Pressey will be returning; but we’ll have to bid farewell to seniors Pete Lavin, Jay Hard- ing, Lee Hersey. Larry LaFlam and Normie Otis. As it now looks from where we sit just before going to press, M.H.S. has a very good chance of becoming the 1960 State Champs. The usual starting line-up looks like this: Jay Harding—Right Fielder Pete Joslin—Center Fielder Lee Hersey—Left Fielder Les Pressey—Catcher Johnny Bossi—Third Baseman Larry LaFlam—Shortstop Pete Lavin—Second Baseman Johnny Otis—First Baseman Norm Otis—Pitcher EIGHTY-EIGHT JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Fh'st Row: B.
