RECORD 1965 Montpelier High School Montpelier, Vermont Men should be judged not by their tint of skin. The gods they serve, the vintage that they drink Nor by the way they fight, or love, or sin, But by the quality of thought they think.

The walls are covered by student efforts and often times one may see a new creation rising from wire and papier mache. To her any student who wishes to work is worth working with. A re- quest for help is never refused—her mind is ever active in the pursuit of new fields and no idea is beyond her scope—try is a watchword in her classroom. One may see her striding energetically through the halls or just as energetically lecturing on painters, paintings or periods of Art. You have set our eyes to better and higher goals—for this we the staff of the 1965 Record do present and dedicate this, our best artistic and literary effort, to you, Mrs. Good, in hopes it will remind you of happy times at Montpelier High School, igh school. 4 All branches of knowledge are connected to- gether because the subject matter of knowledge is intimately united in itself as being the acts and work of the Creator. —John Henry Newman The total knowledge available to man has increased beyond be- lief and the rate at which this expansion is taking place is stag- gering to the imagination. As you seniors leave Montpelier High School to enter employ- ment or continue your educa- tion, you are taking a major step into this fast moving society. Where you will be and what you will be doing fifty years from now is impossible to predict. It is certain, however, that the period in which you have been and will be living is the most ex- citing and challenging of all time. I envy you as you look to the future and wish you well in the years ahead. PHILIP H. MATHEWSON Ladies and Gentlemen: Since a tradition has been established at Montpelier High School that the Principal write a word of greeting for the RECORD, he sometimes finds it difficult to present a report of his observations of the most recent class to approach graduation which varies significantly from its predecessors. To the student who enters the school, spends four years within its walls and then goes out to face the world in his chosen career or the armed forces or to an institution of higher learning, each new experience leaves a different impression on each personality. To the teacher or principal who watches generations of students enter, remain four years and then go on to other fields, these memories tend to have a certain sameness. And yet this year there is a decided difference. You are not only the largest class to be graduated from this school. My observation is that the class of 1965 is composed of some of the finest students with whom it has been my privilege to work. The class of 1965 will long remain in my memory as an outstanding group. Rather than review your achievements as a class, may I close my message to you with a special charge that you place deep in your consciousness one of the most sublime statements ever recorded for the benefit of man: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy soul and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself On these two commandments not only hang all the law and the prophets, as is recorded in Holy Writ, but all the peace and serenity of human existence. Wherever you go and whatever you do, after you leave Montpelier High School, come back to see us. We shall rejoice with you in your victories and share with you the pain of defeat, for both are the lot of all humans who pass through this world. We shall have happy memories of you and we hope you will have happy recollections of us. Sincerely yours, ROBERT H. CHASTNEY CURRICULUM AND FACULTY Dorothy Allen Librarian Linda Amsden English Paul Anderson Music Peter Beck Alan Blakeman English Geography, Economics Stanley Bond Donald Bowles V. S. History Industrial Arts Mr. Rocchio—A man who grasps life in its entirety yet never fails to question it. Somewhere in the maze that is the hu- man mind, there is an ill-defined shape, an intimation of what is to be, a clue to some future reality. This is the material a teacher must work with in the fulfillment of his design. A teacher must put this raw material through a subtle and envel- oping process, painstakingly and de- votedly. This material is inherent in each one of us, and it is upon us that this transfor- mation has been worked. Sometimes, we have been blind. We have not always recognized this process as one of even- tual improvement for ourselves. We have seen our teachers as tormentors. Too often, we have adopted this attitude in defense, not wishing to admit that we are as yet unfinished creatures, needing the skilled hand of the craftsman. At other times we have been realistic, and a feel- ing of comradeship, of readiness to be instructed, has accelerated us toward our common goal. Although our goals differ, it does not matter whether our ideal be the beauty of literature, fluency in a language, the precision of a mathematical formula, an appreciation of the past, or the acquisi- tion of some skill for future use. We must Mr. Seaver—The mind is never still. . . . let there be four faculties in the soul—reason answering to the highest, understanding to the second, faith (or conviction) to the third, and perception of shadows to the last. . . —Plato 1 Stuart Bradley George Brown French Head Coach of Football Bertha Conkling Robert Cromey Homemaking Ancient History, World History CURRICULUM AND FACULTY recognize that the teacher’s desire to help us is con- tinuous. Our success depends on our constantly chang- ing attitude toward our studies. For an appreciation of our teachers, we must seek more than is presented to us in the day’s curriculum. We can gain much from our outside associations with our teachers. If we show an interest in their opinions, we will find that they take an interest in our feelings. These relationships can both enrich our lives and lead to a greater awareness of the purpose of school for us. Putnam Clayton Geometry, Math Mrs. Illingworth—Life is too intense to let it flit away. Mr. Beck—The intelligent young mind needs careful direction. Harlan Farnsworth Math, Algebra Mrs. Allen—A gentle lady whose interest and hard work is to our continuous benefit. CURRICULUM AND FACULTY At times, all of us have had a glimpse into the inner sanctum of that rare being, the teacher. We have been affected by his devotion to us, his pain at our uncer- tainties and weaknesses, his delight in our accomplish- ments. But more important, we have seen him as a human being, rather than a blank authority or dis- penser of facts. We can perceive his personal joys and uncertainties, his interests and idiosyncrasies. We can Karen Hancock Joyce Hickel Physical Education Typingl Office Practice, Introduction to Business James Good Arvilla Griggs Industrial Arts, Homemaking, Electronics Commercial Foods Irwin Hoxie Chemistry, Physics Mary Good Art, Mechanical Drawing Mr. Hoxie—A watchful eye—a quiet knowing smile. Reginald Illingworth Ethics, Guidance Grace Levadie French CURRICULUM AND FACULTY Angelia Lillie Office Priscilla Marsh Mary Mills Business Arithmetic, Guidance Introduction to Business take delight in knowing him as related to us, with simi- lar wants and fears. And we respect him for his love in these turbulent times. We can be proud that, as we go on, we take with us a bit of him, that bit which we chose to draw from his infinite well of enthusiasm and curiosity. And a desire, or a moment of beauty from the bounty offered us, then this is the teacher’s reward. 10 Mr. Blakeman—A thinking man wait- ing for the train whistle.

We can no longer criticize this world at a distance, for we are now of this world and must take upon ourselves its awesome responsibili- ties. It is to comprehend this confrontation that we must begin to strive. SANDRA ELIZABETH BARNEY Solonscope 3. PATRICIA LEE BIANCHI Masque I, 2; Library Aid 1, 2; Girls Glee Club 2, 3.

But the wind soon dies as all winds do, and we are left groping, feeling our way along in a world that becomes only stranger as we learn more about its ways and moods. We think that we have begun to understand when suddenly a whole new realm of knowledge is thrust upon us, revealing our preceding fragment as puny and insignificant, and again we are confused and unsure.

Such is the goal toward which we strive. We grope and clutch at each tiny thread that offers us love, or adven- ture, or security. And gradually our hold tightens on the reality that has so long eluded us. And we can step forward now. The great door is opening and we are standing on the edge of the world.

Junior Prom—and interspersed are hurried thoughts of the future—college, or maybe a job. It was a year of confusion and indecision. We knew that we should do some serious thinking about summer jobs but when was there time? The fall was packed with football games and the resettling into the school routine that each year brings. And for some reason it was a more difficult task than usual. Perhaps it was because we held our first summer job and its excite- ment was such that we didn’t want to forget it or give it up. We threw ourselves into schoolwork and outside activities. We lost our voices at the Spaulding-Montpelier football game, and wore ourselves out at the Burlington basketball game—three overtimes! March brought Merit Scholarship tests. The highlight of the year—the Junior Prom—enlivened the month of May. During the long hard hours of decorating we often wondered why. But on the night of the prom we knew . . . the sparkle in everyone’s eyes was reward enough. And at graduation we watched a little in awe as the seniors marched solemnly in, for we suddenly saw ourselves in the green and white caps and gowns, walking slowly and not too surely to the end of our high school days.

The atmosphere was suddenly soberer, more serious—the exciting things we did as freshmen no longer appealed to us. Our view was freshened with this renewal and became more mature. And we began to find our purpose. We know not that life is not all play, but neither kis it all work. We have learned to discipline ourselves into a framework of time—we can enjoy life, taking some time for amusement and some for work and study. As freshmen we spent the year adjusting ourselves, getting to know new faces, finding our niche in the society of high school. Then we refound our confidence, and were ready to take part in the benefits that high school offers us and to contribute something of ourselves to our fellow students and the school. We found activities and sports and even studies to be more interesting, for in them we discovered something that appeals to us when just the year before we were not sure. The year is nearly over now and we can almost feel the minutes slipping through our fingers. The first two years have passed so quickly that we panic, knowing that there is so little time until it is gone forever. And we try to pack the minutes with activity before the sand is gone from the hourglass. Jbster DeLong Ralph Duprey Susan Durkee Carolyn R.

It was a strange new world—the world into which we gingerly stepped last September. We trembled; we stood on the doorstep, not really knowing how to approach our new life. We ached for acceptance and feared failure, and the uncertainty was overwhelming. But we survived, for here we are today—more steady now and no longer afraid. We have made our name or we have remained anonymous, and it was not always our own choosing that made us so, for high school is a harsh world and makes us very discerning. But it is a fun world, too, and oh, to do it over again! The excitement of football games in the tangy fall air—the ten- sion and heat of basketball—the slam of lockers and gay shouts and laughter in the halls after school. It was a dizzy- ing pace after the calm and languor of the grades, and at first the decisions we had to make about joining clubs or going out for sports amounted to crises—we tried to join everything but found out we had not the time. And so we battled with ourselves and made choices, and still the time was pressing. But now we are settled into the pattern and would think it dull any other way. The year is ending, but next year will find us again at the doorstep, surer still, and treading with purposeful step.

FOOTBALL The Montpelier High J.V.’s enjoyed a winning sea- son under Coach Coane. The team played only 2 games, coming out on top in both. The young Solons whipped Lyndon 36-0 and blanked Spaulding 14-0. Standouts on offense were Greg Boardman, Dick Kemp, and Sheldon Prentice. Stalwarts on defense in- cluded John Flanagan, Peter McAvoy, Dennis Shute, and Max Leighty. On the performances of this fine J.V. team, M.H.S. can look forward to many good seasons in the future.

Head Coach George Brown and assistants Burt Morrison and Gray Coane agreed that the 1964 squad, green and inexperienced as it was, was one of the better groups of all-round boys they had coached in recent years. After being shut out in their first two games by Burlington and B.F.A. of St. Albans, the Solons rebounded with a 20-12 decision over Winooski. Raymond and Martin both had fine days in the rushing column with the former gaining 147 yards and the latter 96. M.H.S. was an upset winner over Rice. It was a case of alert fumble recoveries by the Solons and penalties in their favor as the Rice team actually out-gained M.H.S. in the air lanes and along the ground. An 85- yard kick-off return for a touchdown by Raymond sparked the Solons to their upset. The M.H.S. defensive line had its best day against Lyndon Institute as the Vikings were held to a net of 7 yards rushing. It was a good day all- around as the Solons white-washed the Vikings 13-0. Montpelier closed out its season against highly favored Spaulding High of Barre. Spaulding was highly favored, but M.H.S. provided strong op- position for the much bigger and more experienced Crimson Tide. Al- though the score read 6-6 at the half, Montpelier had thus far completely dominated the game. Spaulding, with greater depth, forged into the lead in the third quarter, scoring thirteen points. The turning point of the game came mid-way in the third quarter when Spaulding recovered a loose ball on the M.H.S. five-yard line and went on to score. M.H.S. went down fighting as they were held on the S.H.S. fohr-yard line late in the fourth quarter. Greg Raymond led the Solons attack in scoring with 50 points to his credit. Joey Bordas followed with twenty-four. The defensive secondary was credited with eleven interceptions, led by Joey Henderson with four and Dan Martin with two. Those lost to the Solons via graduation include Jack Walker, Steve Sloan, Greg Raymond, and Erwin Kreis. The return of all but these four stalwarts will provide the coaching staff a fine and experienced nucleus with which to work. Post-season laurels went to Terry Philbrook, all-state defensive team; Jack Walker, all-Northern Conference selection; Jack Sykas, all-Northern Conference honorable mention; and Greg Raymond, honorable mention all-state and all-Northern League.

Mr. Coane coached the J.V. team during the early part of the season and was then relieved by Mr. Roc- chio who did a fine job with the Solon understudies. Their season was highlighted by the tremendous scoring of Cliff Bancroft, who ended the season with 324 points. Those seeing plenty of action included George McDowell, Gary McQuesten, Denny Shute, Alan Holmes, Craig McNeer, Greg Boardman and Dave Carbo.

OLOMf 30 L0A5f RLONs VARSITY BASKETBALL Montpelier High had seven ballplayers returning from last year’s squad, including Chris Chisholm, Harry Bossi, Greg Raymond, Jack Walker, Rick Mc- Neer, Howard Philbrook, and Doug Bresette. New- comers to the squad were Dick Woodhull, Larry Gra- ham, Chris Anderson, Jeff Duke, Jack Sykas, and Scotty Bowles. Chris Chisholm and Harry Bossi were elected co-captains for the season. M.H.S. started off the season winning four of its first six league games and held undisputed possession of second place in the well-balanced Northern League. However, the Solons dropped six of their remaining eight league games to fall from second place to fifth. A closer look at the scores indicates that the team was involved in several close decisions. For instance, the Solons lost three games by a total of ten points. These ten points proved to be the difference between a win- ning and losing season. In non-league competition, M.H.S. won two while dropping three. Two of these losses were to strong independent, C.V.U. The Solons lost a close one to a highly regarded St. Johnsbury five by three points. Probably the most thrilling game in the Northern League this season was played at our own M.H.S. gym. In this game the Solons eked out a two-point, triple over-time win against the Burlington High Sea- horses. The all-round team effort of the Solons proved to be too much for B.H.S. M.H.S. was a second-half ball club throughout the season as it lost many games in the first half. The prime example would be the Champlain game in which the Solons could only muster 12 points in the first two periods. They went on to score 40 points in the second half. Steady Rick McNeer led the Solons in scoring and rebounding. Rick averaged 13.1 points per game. As- Rick McNeer battles an unidentified Middlebury player for a and Doug Bresette (14) look on.

McNeer was followed by Philbrook and Chris Chisholm in the scoring race with 12.7 and 10.1 averages, respectively.

BASEBALL Lettermen returning to Coach Morri- son’s baseball team include Greg Ray- mond, Steve Sloan, Harry Bossi, Chris Chisholm, Rick McNeer, Jack Sykas, Brian Cobb and Dan Martin. Mike Markham, Dave Carbo, Doug Bresette, Jim Sumner, and Mike Fresolo, up from the J.V. team, should help the club. The infield and outfield appear to be the strong points of the club with pitch- ing posing the main problem. M.H.S. does not have an established pitcher on the team and will have to come up with a few front line starters to insure the club of a winning season. The team will open practice in the gym until more favorable weather per- mits outside drills. M.H.S. will again play its home games behind the High School. As usual, the Solons will com- pete in the Northern League. Greg Raymond “cuts” into upcoming pitch served by “Iron Mike.” BASEBALL Rick McNeer exhibits his sliding form into third base.

TRACK TEAM Montpelier High should have a fine season this year—Weston Cate heads the list of returnees. Last year Cate finished 5th in the high jump in the State meet and should do even better this year. Chris Anderson, also returning, should anchor the squad in the distances. Dick Robertson, the little guy who runs the mile, should help the team very much al- so. Bill Seguin, Russell Armstrong, and Alan Desilets should prove to be tough competition for opponents in the pole vault and distance races. Dave Guilmette, Tim Flanders, Glenn Tosi, and Dennis Cassidy will help the team very much. In the weight department, Ken Finch and Mark Sykas are presently working out to be in shape for the season’s opener. The team over-all has good balance. According to Coach Johann Naess, the high jump, pole vault, and distance races should be our best. Weston Cate, working out in the gym, is polishing up his starts for the 440. ROW ONE: Alan Desilets, Bill Fitzsimmons, Tim Flanders, Dick Robertson, George Seivwright, Steve Garback, and Scott Ogilvie.

The Montpelier High Ski Team started off on a win- ning note this year winning their first meet against Bur- lington and Champlain Valley Union High Schools. On January 16 the Solons finished third behind Middlebury and Rutland in an eight-team meet. Mont- pelier won the cross-country and finished second in the slalom. Russell Armstrong and Alan Desilets led the Solons in points accumulated, winning 43 and 42, respectively. Dennis Cassidy, Max Daamen, and Bill Fitzsimmons also earned enough points for their varsity letter. The Solons went to the District Ski Meet and fin- ished fourth in all three events, the jumping, cross country, and slalom. This performance earned them the right to compete in the State Ski Meet on February 5 and 6. In the State’s Montpelier finished tenth in a field of 10 teams. However, Russell Armstrong was seventh and Alan Desilets ninth for skimeister honors. All in all, Montpelier showed fine potential this season and fared very well. Coach Johann Naess can look forward to another good season, for the ski team loses only three skiers in graduation. Those racing for the last time for Montpelier High are Alan Desilets, Wes- ton Cate, and Marshall Atwood. Russ Armstrong approaches the finish line in the cross- country event. Alan Desilets stares at the practice slope he will have to climb to make a practice run. ROW ONE: Gale Amidon. Barb Potter, Dona Ryan. Pat Cle- mons. Harriet McLeod, Joan Lindsay, Cindy Wilcox.

Jane Illingworth, Mr. Bond, Steve Cobb. Suddenly they were representatives to the United Nations . . . they worried about impor- tant questions that would affect the nation and the world. Jane Illingworth and Steven Cobb were sent to the 14th Model General Assembly of the United Nations in May of 1964. Students from all over Vermont, New Hampshire, and Quebec came to this assembly at Plymouth State College, Plymouth, New Hampshire. During the three days they were there, Jane and Steve and two students from Clairmont, New Hampshire, represented the United Kingdom. Aside from rep- resenting the countries of the U.N., each student was on a committee to discuss various affairs in world politics. Steve was on a committee on dis- armament and Jane’s group discussed the admis- sion of the People’s Republic of China. The Assembly was sponsored by the Plymouth State College International Relations Club and by local Rotary Clubs. ROW ONE: Mr. Illingworth, Adviser; Steve Cobb, President.

GIRLS NATION Girls Nation, similar to Girls and Boys State, gives its representatives a broader knowledge of our federal government. Among the memories for Jane were visits to historical sites in culture-rich Washington and Vir- ginia and meetings with major elected figures. In 1964 M.H.S. was represented at Boys State by eight members of the Junior Class. The purpose of Boys State, held each summer at Norwich University, is to promote a better understanding of comunity and state governments and citizen responsibility. Among the highlights of the week were an address by the governor and elections for town and state officials. Every boy who has ever attended Boys State will subscribe to the achievement of its goals—friendship . . . unity . . . understanding. Girls State is held each summer at Vermont College. In 1964 five juniors participated in the activities. In- cluded in these were athletics, lectures, and campaign- ing. Dedicated to the same ideals as Boys State, Girls State is divided into towns and counties with elected officials. A special honor which outstanding members can receive is appointment to Girls Nation, which is held at American University in Washington, D.C. Montpelier was honored for the second year in a row by the selection of one of our representatives, Jane Illingworth. The Hi-Y is a YMCA-afhliated club. It is composed of fifteen members who meet the first and third Tuesdays of the month. The Hi-Y sponsors such activities as selling candy at basketball games. Most of this money goes to charity. In the spring they worked at Camp Abnaki prior to its opening. Their work will help pay for any Montpelier boy not able to cover his HI Y own camp expenses.

Le Cercle meets le dernier jeudi du mois (the last Thursday of every month) when several members present a program consisting of skits, movies, or slides to better the student's understanding of French customs and language. Thirty-five students eagerly share in the club activities. To climax the school year, the members arranged a banquet featuring French cuisine and atmosphere.

AFS sponsors opportunities for foreign youth to spend a year in America and for American youth to spend a summer or a year in another country. While away from home, the AFS student lives with a family near the school he attends and thereby learns that country's customs. This is the most unforgettable experience of all. When the AFS'er becomes “another child” of his foreign family, he realizes how wonderful it is to accept another's way of life. Bob Ferris heartily approves of the stew while helping to prepare for the AFS supper. Jane Illingworth pleads for assistance during a typical AFS meeting. This year we are privileged to have Miss Estrella Valesco from Madrid, Spain, as our AFS'er at M.H.S. She lives with Dr. Richard H. Amidon and his family. Her American “sister” is Gale Amidon, a senior. Participating on the other half of the AFS program were Robert Ferris, returning from a year in Austria, and Dori Conkling from the summer in Belgium. Hopeful candidates for the 1965 program were chosen in October: Beth Allen, Bill Fitzsimmons, and Chris Nelson. The AFS Club is ably led by Jane Illingworth, presi- dent, and Miss Mills, the adviser. Fund-raising projects included the sale of Christmas cards, Christmas wreaths, and the annual book sale in the library. The purpose of the school club is to aid the AFS’er in school, to promote the Americans Abroad Program, and to raise funds for the city organization. As an AFS’er I can honestly say that spending the summer with a Belgian family was the most wonderful experi- ence of my life. When sailing on the Atlantic Ocean for New York, I realized how great it is for the peoples of various nations to share their lives with one an- other. The result of such a program? The American Field Service believes that “only then shall ye know peace . . —Dori Conkling Our second foreign exchange student at MHS this year is Charlie Corbin from Tours, France.

MIXED CHORUS The Mixed Chorus, as other musical groups, is dedicated to the enjoyment of voice.

A zenith for the members of the Mixed Chorus in singing is election to take part in the Vermont Music Festival, which is a gathering of outstand- ing musicians and singers from high schools throughout the state. A trip to Burlington in May is some recompense for a year of tremendous singing effort. The Mixed Chorus bursts forth in harmony as they practice for the Christmas concert. GIRLS GLEE AND CHAMBER CHOIR This song brings joy to the hearts of many . . . this could very well be the Glee Club and the Chamber Choir. This singing not only brings happiness to others, but it affords the members of these groups a great amount of enjoyment. The Girls Glee Club numbers thirty-five, but their voices combine as one in a true welling of song. They joined with the Mixed Chorus and Chamber Choir to present the Christmas Concert, held December 18. It was a deeply exciting tribute to Christmas, and all were very proud. The Chamber Choir sings all types of music—folk music . . . English chamber tones . . . spirituals—all types of music not suited to a larger group. The Cham- ber Choir is a new addition to the M.H.S. choruses, but its twenty members give a new highlight to the group. They raise their voices in glad song and bring enjoyment to their listeners.

Batons flashing . . . pert, white uni- form . . . marches—the seven pretty girls who lead the band. They twirl at football and basketball games, and they liven up the parades . . . Montpelier . . . Burlington . . . Washington, D.C. Each varsity twirler has had at least one year of experience on the junior var- sity squad. The varsity squad and cap- tain are chosen by the outgoing members and Mr. Mix. The junior varsity twirlers are from the sophomore and freshman classes. They twirl only at home basketball games, but the experience they gain is invaluable. Many of the junior varsity squad go on to twirl for the varsity squad. ROW ONE: Lorraine Thomas, Robin Farnham, Jane Roberts. ROW TWO: Jean Gallison, Caroline Ferris, Barb Pecue, Kay O’Brien. Carol Hatch performs at a pep rally. Joanne Ricciarelli, Joan Barton, Susan Goodall, Cindy Wilcox, Captain; Linda Washburn, Diana Nelson, Patty Thomas. CHEERLEADERS “Go! Fight! Win!” Pep rallies . . . football games . . . basket- ball games. They are always there—lead- ing the crowd, cheering the team on ... No matter what the score, they back the players . . . urging them on to victory. Their by-words are pep, school spirit, and good sports- manship. Seven girls in green uniforms—lively . . . smiling . . . yelling “V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!” Seven girls make up the var- sity squad. Each girl has had at least one year of junior varsity experience. They are elected to the varsity by the outgoing cheerleaders and members of the faculty. J.V. cheerleaders may be members of any class, but they are usually freshmen or sopho- mores. They cheer at home bas- ketball games for the J.V. team. After one year of cheering they earn a letter. “Let’s go—go—go—go—go! fight — fight — fight — fight— fight! . .

GIRLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Basketball . . . tumbling . . . volleyball . . . the excitement of competitive sports. The Girls Athletic Association is composed of those who love competition . . . girls who enjoy tossing the ball around . . . girls who are merely keeping in shape. But they all have one thing in common— the love of sports. Not only does G.A.A. offer competitive sports but also plans bike hikes and swimming trips— there is something for everyone. The girls earn points for participating in play nights, held every Tuesday and Friday. Points are also given for a certain number of outside activities—skiing . . . skating . . . hiking. You say Americans are getting soft? Not the G.A.A. Members of the GAA are Beth Allen, Muriel Amadon.

RECORD BOARD The Record Board—a curious group of writers, photographers, typists, ad salesmen, and general handymen ... all working together to create and pub- lish a school yearbook. ROW ONE: Pat Clemons, Literary Editor; Fran Pressey, Edi- tor; Mr. Saunders, Adviser; Craig McNeer, Business Manager. ROW TWO: Jackie Griggs. Class Editor; Bill Reed, Head Photographer; Greg Johnston, Business Manager; Linda Rich- ardson, Circulation Manager; Linda Janawicz, Art Editor. The Record Board does not hold regular monthly meetings; they work when there is work to be done, a deadline to be met. The nucleus of staff consists of the Editor, Literary Editor, Art Editor, Chief Photographer, Head Sales- man, and Head of the Advertising Division. They be- gin work even before school begins . . . plotting the basic structure of the book . . . working out schedules with the publishing company . . . discussing literary style and picture layouts. As soon as school begins, they recruit a staff—anyone who is interested in hard work and more hard work is welcomed. Work begins immediately—sports events are photo- graphed . . . class sections are planned and dummied and written . . . senior information is gathered . . . ads are sold. The deadlines come up; last minute changes are made ... a cutline here, a picture there . . . “Where is “John Smith’s glossy print?” . . . Did you get the ad from the drug store?” ... It seems as if it will never be ready on time; but somehow it always is, and the work goes on. After the last section is sent in, the Record Board takes a breather—except the sales staff. Now they must collect payments . . . deliver books . . . tally figures. At last it is over—or is it? “Get some pictures of track and baseball, Bill” . . . It’s been a year of hard work . . . often it has been frustrating—lost pictures . . . late copy. But there is nothing more rewarding than to know that you have helped to create a book— a book that captures all the emotions of life at Mont- pelier High School. 104 Christopher Chisholm's view from the steplad- der—“It's been a hard day.” Roquefort or Swiss? Mr. Saunders continues the search for the missing dupli- cates. Joan Barton and Cheryl Licci- oli coloring in dummies at a typical Record meeting.

ROW THREE: Mary SECRETARIAL CLUB Their futures look bright . . . the girls in the Secre- tarial Club have studied hard and are now ready to go out on their first jobs. During the year they toured the National Life executive and secretarial offices and held a dinner for recent graduates who have discovered a new world through their job experiences. Triplett, Marie Storti, Sandy Barney, Sue Nuissl, Beth Kelley, Carolyn Andrews, Linda LeBourveau, Eva Bailey, Cathy Brig- ham, Pam Fleck. Guest speaker Mr. Illingworth talked to the club about office procedure and how our world is being altered. Generally, the members of the Secretarial Club prac- tice their shorthand, bookkeeping, and typing skills to prepare themselves for later achievements in various office activities. Judy Johnson, Secretary; Terry King, Treasurer; Ann Funk, President; Sherri Spaulding, Vice-President; Miss Hickel, Adviser. PEP CLUB Newly established . . . cheer- ful .. . loud! The Pep Club is the official cheering section for our teams; and since they have been organized, school spirit has had a tremendous boost. They work closely with the cheerlead- ers to promote good sportsman- ship . . . they cheer. “Fight! Fight! Green and white!” “Go-beat-Spaulding! Go-beat- Spaulding! . . “Victory, Victory, that’s our cry . . .” Their voices ring out over football fields and basketball courts—morale stimulus for our team and an example for the rest of the school. 108 SOLONSCOPE The Solonscope staff numbers only twenty, but through their hard work they publish a paper covering a variety of topics— school news and events . . . fea- tures . . . jokes . . . even some gossip. The staff plans to put out a paper about every two weeks, but often an issue is held over to give coverage to an important event—plays . . . district meets . . . band trips. Under the Solonscope consti- tution, a new editor is elected each January. Barbara Bcnedini succeeded Betty Otis to this position in the January, 1965, elections. Also, there was a change of advisers in the 1964- 1965 school year—Miss Nye as- sumed the duties from Mr. Seaver.

FORENSIC SOCIETY The orators of Montpelier High School . . . they speak clearly, distinctly, and they know what they are talking about. Debating is hard work; but for those students who are members of the Forensic Society, the experiences become beautiful for the storehouse. And for this labor come many rewards. Topics are chosen . . . “Resolved: Nuclear Weapons Should Be Controlled By an Interna- tional Organization. Then research is done . . . the cases are prepared—affirmative and negative . . . each statement is supported by a printed fact. In March the MHS Forensic Society sponsors a state tournament. The group expends consider- able effort in preparation for this event. The tournament climaxes the club’s debate year.

The weather was cold outside, but inside the M.H.S. gym, the atmosphere was warm and cheerful, and the soft music of the Stan Murray quartet floated across the Christmas pageantry. The gay evening culminated weeks of work by Student Coun- cil members and other students willing to help out on decora- tions. They played a sentimental tune for us. CHRISTMAS BALL Judy Johnson and Gary McAvoy dance with the spirit of Christmas in their eyes. Ruth Sykas puts house in order at Christmas Ball.

Pinata bulls . . . the goldfish pool . . . laughing eyes . . . swing- ing skirts . . . festive people—the Junior Prom, 1964. It was a gay night and no one would have guessed the hours of work that went into putting “We danced to the slow music, too. up decorations—no one except the juniors who spent long hours constructing the bull . . . taping flowers to trees . . . setting up card tables . . . hunting up bands . . . printing up tickets. The work was hard but the reward was great . . . They danced to the music of the Grena- diers. The highlight of the Prom was the crowning of Cindy Wilcox as queen and her court—Leigh Johnson, Karen Carnahan, Joan Barton, Patti Escott, Lee Ann Merrill, and Charlene Gero from Burlington High School. Their eyes sparkled ... for they were happy people who spent “une noche en Espana.” 112 Prom-time means happy-as-a-smile-time for Christopher Chisholm and Karen Carnahan.
