MATHEWSON Superintendent of Schools Twelve years ago when you were in the first grade who would have thought that before you graduated from high school man would be able to circle the earth in less than two class periods. You have been living in one of the most dynamic periods of all history; and from all indications the tempo of this scien- tific, economic and cultural revolution will continue. In spite of the many hazards, you are most fortunate in having the oppor- tunity to grow up in such an era. What you young people do with this opportunity depends to a large extent upon your ability and interest in directing the course of change. The Montpelier Public Schools have tried to give you a good, sound education. Whether you seek immediate employment or go on to college, the true value of this education depends upon the use you make of it. I hope that you consider it a foundation on which to build your lifetime educational program. It is my pleasure to wish you continued success as you leave Montpelier High School. PHILIP H. MATHEWSON ROBERT H. CHASTNEY Principal of Montpelier High School The Class of 1961 Montpelier High School Ladies and Gentlemen: Within a few days your copy of the 1961 RECORD will be one of the few tangible links that you will have with Mont- pelier High School. Except for your diploma, your other ties will be chiefly in the field of memories. In the years to come when you again glance through your yearbook, you will look at the photographs of yourselves and your classmates and exclaim, Didn’t we wear odd-looking clothes in those days? or Didn't we have funny-looking hair- cuts then? Yes, the tangible evidences will change, but the memories of your four years at Montpelier High School will remain almost the same; except that painful recollections will lose much of their sharpness, and happy memories will become more and more pleasant. So it is with us, your teachers, who remain at the school as you go out to your various duties in the world. We may occasionally look at this yearbook, but more frequently we shall remember you as you went about your daily routine at the school. I can assure you that our recollection of you becomes a part of a blend of happy memories. Come back to visit us when you can. Know that the greatest reward a teacher ever receives is the knowledge that a former student possesses sufficient interest to return to school to tell us of his activities in the world of his experience. Know that our hopes and prayers for your success go with you as you leave the halls of Montpelier High School for the outside world. Cordially yours, ROBERT H. CHASTNEY GLENN AIKEN Chemistry, Physics Here’s a classroom acrobat whose name is “fudge” His fearful “quizzes” shake our pride as we dnidge. In character he towers high; his A’s don’t come for free. His sense of humor charms us all; he teaches “even ice” DOROTHY B. ALLEN Librarian If ever you leant a good book to read, Mrs. Allen will find just what you need. Her hobby, she tells us, is traveling wide. In helping A.F.8 ers she seems to take pride. ALAN E. BLAKEMAN Economics and Geography Income tax, stock market, finance and trust With Mr. Blakeman are really a must. He makes it unique with his slight southern drawl; Room number seven should be the next call. JOANNE M. BLAKEMAN Introduction to Business, Business Arithmetic, Record Keeping To her left hand was added a ring From last summers wedding that did happiness bring. Hei' coaching our debate team has more than once shown That our team is terrific and very well known. STANLEY K. BOND United States History, Ancient History We learn of ancient annals from Mr. Bond; Of his numerous histories he’s very fond.

She often keeps people after school Because in her class quiet's the rule. GEORGE I).

He also coaches our fabulous track, And his boys always come in ahead of the pack. K.

The orchestra, conducted by Mr. Fink, Is the finest we’ve heard—and we c(know” notuthink.” PHYLLIS A. GENERO English and Speech She’s the shortest member of the faculty staff.

You’ll realize it later' when you’re trying it out. CLIFTON L. MIX Band Director BURTON B. MORRISON Boys’ Physical Education If ever you see a girl faint to the floor, You’ll know Coach Morrison’s just walked through the door. The varsity hoys agree he’s The Most, Of his coaching ability we really can boast. It’s Mr. Mix on the podium His baton in a two-four beat, Coaxing from his bandsmen fine A snappy musical treat.

Edson, W. Seguin, D. Savoie, R. Howe, J. Cady, A. Lamphere This year’s Student Council was composed of 41 representatives chosen by the students in their home rooms. There were three rep- resentatives from each Senior home room, two from the Junior home rooms, and one from each Sophomore and Freshman home room. This was a new system decided upon because it gave the council a better chance to represent the entire school with the Upper Classmen having just a little more priority. Officers were George Davis, President; Forrest Bowman, Vice-President; Jane Downing, Secretary-Treasurer; and Mike Brainerd, Parliamentarian. The Council's purpose to promote ways of improving M.H.S. has been successfully achieved. A new constitution has been es- tablished which allows the council to work at the best of its ability. Social functions have been increased by sponsoring several “open dances after home basketball games. An “over the quota magazine drive was held with Kathy Irving, Senior Business Manager, and Susan Rowell, Junior Business Manager. The money from this drive went to the Athletic Association. A National Honor Society was established to replace the previous Pro Merito Award. The Council sold M.H.S. sweatshirts and Green and White Beanies. Representatives were sent to the State Student Council Convention, the State Youth Council and the Teen Congress. SIXTY-EIGHT SILVER “M” First Row: B. Robinson, L. King, B. Nelson, G. Cassara, M.

Prentice, Mr. Illingworth This year AA.H.S. joined many dher schools in awarding National Honor Society pins to those students in the Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes who qualified for it. To qualify for N.H.S., one must have at least two A s, and two B’s for a yearly average. One C is permitted those students who are taking five subjects. Once a member a student must maintain these minimum grades each marking period, if he falls below this minimum for any two consecutive marking periods, he may be permanently dropped from the society. The sponsors of National Honor Society at AA.H.S. are AAiss Kettelle, Mrs. Nims, Mrs. Aiken, Mrs. Allen, Mr. Illingworth, and Dr. Chastney an ex officio member. This com- mittee has the power of granting or refusing membership in the N.H.S. It is their hope that the National Honor Society, which will replace Pro Merito, will promote further enthusiasm for scholarship. SEVENTY GIRLS AND BOYS STATE First Row: Kathy Irving, John Hughes, John Cady, Peter Joslin, Elizabeth Nelson, Alison Lane Second Row: Robert Morgan, Allen Granger, Dr. Chastney, Ward Seguin, Stanley Sloan Kathy Irving: What I will remember most about Girls State includes not only the know- ledge I gained about local and state govern- ment, but just as important, the sincere friendships of which all the girls were so willing to be a part. Alison Lane: One does not realize many of the values of Girls State until she has been away from it for a while. This type of lasting experience builds individuals in a free so- ciety. Elizabeth Nelson: Girls State was spent in learning about our state government, in meet- ing many new friends, and in having a great time. Our pastimes ranged from party meet- ings and lectures to pajama parties and riding a scooter down a third floor hall during quiet hour. John Cady: As Boys State was designed to be an experiment in government, the political aspects were most important and very in- teresting. The campaigns for political office were very intense,- realistic town meetings and party cauci were held; and in particular, the sessions of legislature saw debate on many interesting bills of both a humorous and a serious nature. Allen Granger: I found my week at Boys State to be most educating as well as exciting. Whether participating in the assembly, run- ning for office, competing in sports, or just hacking off, Boys State was the greatest ex- perience of all times. John Hughes: The minute I arrived at Norwich University, I started a strenuous week of assembling, campaigning, legislat- ing, and making friends with some of the most outstanding boys in Vermont. The week's activities included sports and the In- augural Ball where I met many outstanding girls. Peter Joslin: I profited from Boys State in two ways. First, I had a chance to learn the methods of the government. Second, I gained many new friends. Boys State was a wonderful experience, one I shall always remember. Robert Morgan: My experiences at Boys State left me with a profound respect for the political institutions which form the basis of this nation's democratic system of govern- ment. Ward Seguin: I shall never forget how I felt after being elected Lieutenant Governor of Boys State and after the wonderful week was over. Stanley Sloan: Boys State is designed to help train tomorrow's leaders in the paths of democratic government. This may sound very dry on the surface, but when you learn it at Boys State in practical applications, it's great! BOVS NATION Boys Nation, held at Maryland University, July 22 through July 29, 1960, was intended to instruct boys of high school age in the mechanics of the United States government and to familiarize them with the nation's capital. Everything from heated senate debates to tours took place at Boys Nation. It was my pleasure to meet Senator Aiken, Congressman Meyer, and Vice-President Nixon and to visit such places as the Senate Building, the Capitol, the Library of Congress, the Civil Service Commission, the Government Printing and Engraving Building, the Department of Defense, the Pentagon, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The rarest treat of all was a cruise on the Potomac in three tug boats, one of which is the Presidential escape boat. Attending Boys Nation was like winning a prize in some contest and receiving a one-week vacation tour in Washington, D.C. This trip, the sort of experience that really makes life worth living, was a chance of a lifetime crammed full of learning. WARD SEGUIN MODEL UNITED NATIONS The Model United Nations, held at Plymouth Teachers College, Plymouth, New Hampshire, May 12, 13, and 14, 1960, was a valuable experience in many ways. In preparing to represent the United States (the country to which we were dele- gated), we learned much about our own foreign policy and nation s ideals. When we applied this information in debating such issues as Admission to the United Nations of the People's Republic of China, the Algerian Question, and the Unification of Germany, we began to understand the mechanics of the United Nations. The practice in public speaking and in tactfully but forcefully making and defending arguments has already proved and will continue to prove very useful to both of us. We enjoyed immensely our three days at the Model United Nations, but more important, we are proud to have attended as we participated in something very great: keeping peace. ALISON LANE AND MICHAEL BRAINERD SEVENTY-TWO CURRENT EVENTS DISCUSSION GROUP First Row: Polly Alburger, Stephanie Barnes, Jane Downing, Alison Lane, Katrina Edwards, Wendy Goodale Second Row: Mr. Bond, Advisor; Richard Grant, Mike Brainerd, Peter Jennergren. In this world of turmoil, fast action, and quick decision, serious thought to political and foreign matters is essential. In efforts to better understand the happenings of the world today, this group of seniors has been meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school with Mr. Bond to discuss the issues which shape our future. Everyone partici- pating has profited from the sometimes polite exchange of ideas and sometimes heated arguments. Hats off to Mr. Bond for starting the group! SEVENTY-THREE My year as an exchange student under the AFS program has certainly been a most enjoyable one. Naturally I have had many good times and made many new friends here in Montpelier. But I have also, and this is perhaps more important, gained a great knowledge about the United States, its people, and its way of living. In Montpelier High School I have taken courses I could not take at home in Sweden. Through my other activities I have learned many other things about this country. All this has given me a new and better understanding of international relations, and this will be useful to me during my whole life. When I look back at my year in Montpelier, I feel proud and happy that I was selected to come here. I therefore want to thank all those who made this possible for me. PETER JENNERGREN I am proud to have been selected as Montpelier High School s first A.F.S.er. During my trip to Finland last summer, I tried to represent Montpelier, Vermont, and the United States as they should be represented. Since my return I have also tried to represent Finland to Americans. Being an American Field Service Americans Abroad repre- sentative was an invaluable experience. Besides having a generally pleasant summer, I gained a host of new friends— both Finnish and American—and an immeasurably broader horizon of knowledge. I hope that I have gained a rudimental understanding of the Finnish people and that a few of them have learned something about Americans. I am grateful to many people. To the American Field Service I owe a debt of gratitude which I shall never be able to pay fully. The least I can do is to urge my friends at M.H.S. to continue their support of the A.F.S. idea of world peace through inter- national understanding. To M.H.S. and the citizens of Montpelier I owe another great debt for their part in enabling me to take part in this wonderful program. As an effort to face these obligations, I shall always try to do my part to further the American Field Service movement for peace. MICHAEL BRAINERD SEVENTY-FOUR AMERICAN FIELD SERVICE First Row: Forrest Bowman, Gail Whitney, Ann Lindsay, Mike Brainerd, Mr. Sloan, Advisor; Peter Jennergren, Exchange student from Sweden, Albie Richardson, Meggie Pond Second Row: Betsy Nelson, Wendy Goodale, Tina Edwards, Mary Jane Gomez, Erie Morse, Alison Lane, Stephanie Barnes, Jo Ann Hill ' Third Row: Nancy Lord, Jane Downing, Robert Morgan, Larry Babcock, Bob Prentice, Bruce Renshaw, Joyce Jensen The AA.H.S. American Field Service Club is in its second year of existence. Under its president, Dale Walker; Secretary-Treasurer, Kit Allen; and advisor, Mr. Sloan; the organi- zation has expanded and undergone many important changes. Two important additions were the adoption of a constitution and the expansion into a discussion and foreign interest group. The A.F.S. club, dedicated to the support of our foreign exchange program and the improvement of international relations has given its full effort toward making our ex- change program a success and furthering the A.F.S. interests. One example of our activities this year is the reception which was held for our foreign exchange student, Peter Jennergren, from Sweden. Outside support coming from the Montpelier Teachers Associ- ation through the presentation of Life With Father has given us a most successful year. This year five of the A.F.S. members were chosen by a local committee to compete nationally for a chance to spend a summer in a foreign country under the A.F.S. program. The five were Forrest Bowman, Kit Allen, Dale Walker, Ann Lindsay, and Albee Richardson. Special congratulations should go to Ann Lindsay and Albee Richardson who were semi-finalists. SEVENTY-FIVE FORENSIC SOCIETY First Row: S. Barnes, B. Renshaw, R. Prentice, Mrs. Blakeman, Advisor; R. Morgan, D. Holden, W. Mehlman Second Row: P. Winters, R. Anderson, M. Brainerd, S. Leonard, P. Jennergren, F. Shiner, R. Burley Veto. Police force. General Assembly. Security Council. Hack. These are some of the words you are likely to hear should you pass by Room 23 some afternoon. If you stop and look in, you will find some of the members of the MHS Forensic Society debating on the sub- ject of strengthening the United Nations. This year, the debate club has itself become somewhat international in character with the acquisition of a member from Sweden. Under the able guidance of their coach, Mrs. Blakeman, the debate teams have done very well in the interscholastic tournaments in which they participated. The varsity team placed third at the Dartmouth tournament and captured the rotating trophy sponsored by the Associated Industries of Vermont at the Montpelier tournament, the first Vermont team ever to accomplish this feat. In ad- dition, Michael Brainerd was named top speaker in the tournament, and other For- ensic Society members received honors in discussion and extemporaneous speaking, as well as in debate. The climax of the year's activities was the Vermont State Speech Festival, sponsored by UVM, which is attended by delegations from many Vermont schools. This year, the varsity team triumphed over its competition and won the Burlington Free Press trophy and the Edwin W. Lawrence trophy. Dale Walker and Bruce Renshaw received UVM scholarships for being two of the top three debators in the tournament. In addition, other members of the Forensic Society re- ceived commendations for their participation in other speech events. This year was one of the most successful ever for the Forensic Society, and we look for continued success in the years to come. SEVENTY-SIX SOLONSCOPE First Row: P. Thorington, G. Boardman, S.

Goodale The Solonscope, Montpelier High School's own paper, is the place to find information on the students and their activities. The able first and second semester staffs have given us many interesting articles on school plays, concerts, sports events, students in the lime- light, class news and gossip. Many polls have been printed in both the serious and light veins, and students have written original poems and short stories to be put into print. One of the greatest assets of the Solonscope is the printing of editorials which have aided in co-operation and enthusiasm on the part of the M.H.S. students. Betsy Nelson and Forrest Bowman have both done a fine job as editors of the Solon- scope, but they couldn’t have done it without the help of their staff.

The main characters are Miss Genero, Faculty Advisor; Ginny Cassara, President; Bruce Renshaw, Vice President; Louanne King, Sec- retary; and Sue Smith, Treasurer. Actually there are more than one hundred characters in this familiar production, 'A Masque Meeting.'' A more unique production however, was the well known “Arsenic and Old Lace'' by Joseph Kesselring. It was the story of two elderly maiden aunts, excellently portrayed by Ann Lindsay and Sue Rowell. Their two brothers were played by Bruce Renshaw and Rod Sherman. The former was possessed by insanity, the latter with meanness. Ginny Cassara and Sue Smith were stage and business managers respectively. SEVENTY-EIGHT MASQUE SENIOR AND JUNIOR MASQUE First Row: B. Stone, J. Coburn, P. Jewett, B. Robinson, B. Heller, P. King, B.

These were “Recognition Scene’' from Anastasia, ‘Mind Over Mumps,” and “Quiet Please.” Barb Reed was the Stage Manager,- Joni Gray the Business Manager. The final production, “The Happy Journey From Trenton to Camden” by Thornton Wilder was directed by Miss Genero for the One Act Play Contest. Congratulations are in order for Elizabeth Hughes for making the All-Star cast. The work for the year has not ended with this final play. As the curtain closes on “A Masque Meeting,” plans are being completed for work days, the Masque banquet, and the election of next year's officers.

These girls have all completed one year of Home Economics and have a real interest in becoming good homemakers and citizens of their community and of America. The main purposes of the F.H.A. club are to emphasize the importance and satisfaction in being a good homemaker, to encourage democracy in the home and community, to promote international good will, to encourage creativeness in homemaking, to provide wholesome individual and group recreation, and finally to further an interest in home economics. Many interesting and informative programs have been given this year with these purposes in mind. The club has been under the leadership of Bonnie Ripley, President; Roberta Gidney, Vice President; Priscilla Lane, Secretary; and Regina Loati, Treasurer. EIGHTY CAFETERIA STAFF First.

Moulton The fine reputation of the Montpelier High School Band has traveled far and wide as a result of the many exchange concerts and other band activities this year as well as in the past. Under the capable leadership of Clifton L Mix, the band started off the 1960-61 season by playing at the home football and basketball games. Their colorful uniforms and lively music added much to the atmos- phere on the football field and on the audi- torium stage. They marched and provided music for many pep rallies and victory marches In January, the band participated in the Midwinter Concert, the first of the six on the schedule. They next played in an exchange concert with St. Johnsbury in the latter part of February. Many agree that the trip of the year was that one which brought them to Laconia, N.H., for another exchange concert. The climax of a most successful year came in May, at which time the band played its annual Spring Concert. Senior band members who had the honor of attending the All State Music Festival in Burlington were Betsy Nelson, Wendy Web- ster (Clarinet); Jack D Arthenay, Peter Joslin (Trumpet); and Harry Moulton (Tuba).

Moulton, R. Bryan The chorus season began with the par- ticipation of its members in the Winooski Valley Music Festival in Barre. Precedent was set by an exchange concert with Rutland High School, and of course, a delegation went to the Vermont Music Festival in Bur- lington. For the first time, two M.H.S. chorus members, Susan Sawyer and Stanley Bond, attended the New England Music Festival in Rutland. The chorus, designed to encour- age singing and musical appreciation among M.H.S. students, enjoyed its usual prosperous season; and the Boys’ Glee Club had a par- ticularly fine year. EIGHTY-FIVE ORCHESTRA First Row: Alison Lane, Sue Hoxie, Susan Edwards, John Cady, Susan Morse, Mary Jane Gomez Second Row: Raymond Benedict, Philip Chapin, Stephanie Seguin, Harry Moulton, Mr. Fink, Director; Wendy Goodale, Judy Hudson The orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Fink from the Vermont Conservatory of Music, has the two-fold purpose of giving students a taste of good music and presenting the opportunity to gain practice in reading music and playing with a group. Playing in an annual concert, and for some members, participating in the Winooski Valley Music Festival and All-State Music Festival has provided valuable and enjoyable experience. EIGHTY-SIX GIRLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION First Row: M. Murphy, S. Edwards, N. Teachout, J. Morse, N. Badore, S. Seguin, S. Barnes, Miss Graw, Advisor; P. Alburger, S. Pache, P. Jewett, N. Cady, M. Pond, A. Johnston Second Row: E. Alger, J. Barber, L. Hill, N. McAvoy, S. Rushford, R. Gidney, J. Seamans, J. Felberg, L. Jeffrey, M. Gidney, S. Goodyear, R. Farrington, S. Richardson, J. Annis, F.

Nichols The G.A.A. was created to encourage female participation in healthy activity, to promote sportsmanlike attitudes, end to aid in developing a well-rounded individual. Meeting every Tuesday and Friday night, interested girls participate in supervised ac- tivities—from fast aggressive basketball to more feminine bowling and badminton—or aid in conducting G.A.A. business. Special attractions are the annual swimming trip to the Y.W.C.A. in Burlington, the G.A.A. Picnic, and the sports days to which girls from the schools surrounding Montpelier are invited. EIGHTY-EIGHT VARSITY CHEERLEADERS Left to Right: Linda Bates, Virginia Cassara, Tina Strong, Sallie Pollard, Captain; Robin Burnes, Kathy Irving, Rhoda Ward These girls are ardent Solons fans and they are always ready to cheer the boys on to another victory. The cheerleaders all agree that the long hours of practicing have been well compensated for by the many good times and lasting memories. During the football season, they wore the usual bulky letter-sweater and green kilts which they made themselves. A new tradi- tion was started when each girl bought a megaphone and painted it white with a green letter AA. With the help of the J.V. cheerleaders, programs for the home basketball games were printed and sold. Basketball season will always be remembered for the frequent trips to the Lincoln Inn in Essex Junction, for good food and even better laughs. The cheerleaders put on many pep rallies, one of which was held at night in the gym and was followed by a parade through the downtown section and on to the State House where it broke up. And who could ever forget the many victory marches after the football games? Not one cheerleader will, that's for sure. The entire squad will graduate this year with the exception of Tina Strong who will be next year's captain. EIGHTY-NINE VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM First Row: J. Adams, Manager; B. Brown, L. Pressey, S. Sloan, G. Davis, P. Joslin, J. Bossi, D. Aiken, (kneeling), Manager; B. Roya, A. Granger, J. Hughes, M. Gandley, B. Heaton, R. Purchase, Manager Second Row: Mr. Sloan, J.V. Coach; Mr. Morrison, Varsity Coach; H. Jones, J. Otis, T. Murray, Coach Brown, Head Varsity Coach; G. Edson, M. Fitzgerald, D. Brink, B. (Itchey) Yates, Coach Coane, J.V. Coach Third Row: M. Yates, B. Wells, B. Taylor, B. Foti, B. Fernandez, B. Prentice, A. Richardson Football was a great success at AA.H.S. this year. The Solons won six games while dropping only one. The big event of the season was a big 25 to 6 victory over Spaulding at the Recreation Field. Other important wins included a 7 to 6 victory over Burlington in the first game of the season, and a 34 to 14 win over a strong St. Johns- bury Academy club. At the close of the season M.H.S. was voted State Co-champs with Rutland and B.F.A. of St. Albans by the Vermont Headmasters Association. At the annual poll taken by the State s sports writers, John Bossi, Hugh Jones and Bill Roya were named to the first string All- State team, while Mike Gandley and Bubba Fernandez made the second unit. As frosting on the cake, M.H.S. was voted Team of the year and Coach Brown was named Coach of the year. Seniors who finished their playing days at M.H.S. this season include Ben Brown, Mike Gandley, Pete Joslin, Bill Roya, Allen Granger, John Hughes, Stan Sloan, George Davis and Les Pressey. NINETY-ONE VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM First Row: Tommy Hennebury, Mike Gandley, Coach Burt Morrison, Doug Martin, Johnny Bossi Second Row: Leslie Pressey, Senior Manager; Bradley Raymond, Brooks Heaton, John Otis, Rickie Brock, Manager; Hugh Jones, Gerry Bryan. Philip Chapin, Assistant Manager BASKETBALL The M.H.S. basketball team was the sur- prise team of the Northern League this year. Picked for a low finish by most of the experts, the Solons surprised everyone by winning often and winning well. The season was highlighted by thrilling come from behind wins over St. Albans, Essex and Rice, and a come from behind, overtime win over Burlington. Despite their brilliant efforts over the regular season, the Solons had to win a play- off game against Hartford High of White River in order to get into the tournament. The game, played in Randolph, was a run- away victory for the Solons. Jumping off to an early lead, the Solons couldn't be caught and wound up with a 75 to 45 victory. In the tournament, M.H.S. easily defeated a strong Burlington club in their first game by a score of 49 to 31. A more perfect finale to the Northern Tournament couldn't be asked for as the Solons met arch- rival Spaulding. At first it looked like a M.H.S. victory but Spaulding won 79 to 69. Bubba Fernandez and John Bossi were re- warded for their efforts by being named to the all-tournament team. Seniors who played their last games for M.H.S. include John Bossi, Tom Hennebury, Doug Martin and Mike Gandley. NINETY-THREE SKI TEAM Left to Right: W. Duke, J. Cady, H. Morse, E. Morse, A. Chidester, G. Gillander, F. Pierce, W. Seguin, Mr. Nyholm, L. Babcock, W. Taylor, R. Burley, J. Downing, P. Mix, G. Folsom, J. Dwinell With many experienced veterans of the 1959-60 team back, the Solon Ski Team was full of potential and interest for the 1960-61 season. Led by co-captains Jim Dwinell and Frank Pierce, the Solon Skiers enjoyed a suc- cessful year winning two ski meets, placing second in another, and placing well in the District and State contests. Coach Nyholm supervised his team well in his first year as the coach of the Ski team. Top skiers in the Alpine events were Erie Morse, Jim Dwinell and Howard Morse. Erie Morse led the team in jumping and Frank Pierce was a distinct standout in Cross Country. Pierce placed third in the State Cross Country. NINETY-FOUR BASEBALL TEAM First Row: L. Pressey, J.

In fact, everything the five avidly non-conformist members have done in its 2 2-year- history has given it an EXTRAORDINARY reputation. These dedicated “hackers,” their ranks now swelled approxi- mately to nine, have engaged in “hacktivities,” literary and otherwise, that have even found their way into the Solonscope. All but three members will (presumably) graduate this year, and they will pass on to upset the ivy halls of Hamilton, Rochester, M.I.T. and elsewhere, but their accomplishments will live on.
