His dedication to the needs of the students is manifest in his wise guidance and counselling, his helping hand a trusted support in times of need. He helps to shape the future more brightly, to guide the process of learning better to benefit the needs of the individual. For his concern is with the individual, the personal characteristics that make one person different from the next. He cares, and in appreciation and acknowledgment for his service, we dedicate this yearbook to Mr. Peter 4 T- ' V Administration With years of devotion to education behind him, Dr. Robert H. Chastney, Principal, constantly strives for an always understand- ing of youth. With an expression of laughter, Mr. Gray R. Coane, Assistant Principal, reveals his sense of humor mingled with his seriousness in educating young people. Deeply concerned about the affairs of Montpelier schools, Mr. Alan H. Weiss, Superintendent of City Schools, converses about the budget for the 1967 fiscal year. 6 Miss Violet E. Kettelle Sheldon Prentice being coun- selled by Mr. Peter J. Beck Maintenance Mr. Walter S. Fielder Mr. Elden A. Brown and Mr. Frank McGrath 7 Faculty Mr. Winters: The ever-active mechanical mind at work. He watched them come through the door, grouped and singly, a complete spectrum of appearances, moods, actions, speech. Unknow- ingly he began to analyze and categorize them, striving to know them before he was the victim of their scrutiny and testing. They represented the job he knew he was to do, and he did not know exactly what would happen, what would be his degree of suc- oess, or how he would go about it. The bell rang. He waited until the shuffling, scraping sound and the undercurrent of ended conversation had subsided before he rose from behind the protection of the large desk and stepped to the center of the blackboard. He felt the gaze of their eyes upon him as he looked around the room. He was their link between knowledge available and knowledge acquired, and it was his duty to guide them. He had prepared long and organized well, and suddenly he knew that the break between theory and practice had come, and he must begin. He was their teacher, and they were his students. There was much to be learned, much to be done, and he realized that learning would not be merely theirs. Mr. Paul J.

II The mathematical reasoning of Mr. Farnsworth clears the fog in our mind to let us comprehend. The aesthetic mind of Mr. Rocchio constantly reaches for greater heights in the classroom. Mr. Bond returns U.S. History tests as Tyler Carl- son anxiously awaits his mark. Mrs. Doris L. Strange English Mrs. Majorie S. Weiss Algebra Miss Sandra C Williamson Physical Education Mr. Paul V.

Janice Frank (left) listens as Shirley Brimhlecombe explains an English paper. An expression of confidence on Jeff Cueto’s face during an experi- ment in physics lab. Mr. Anderson accompanies Anne Miller as Penny Pappas joins the rest of the singers in putting feelings to music. 16 Dave King lowers a weight into water during a physics experiment. Musing over a typing dictation. Dale Montgomery pauses, then proceeds with her work. Our AFS student, Mike Beseler, provides a little comic relief for Linda Bowles in Latin class. The active mind intent on physics: Harold Albert sets pulleys for a mechanical advantages experi- ment. 17 Through a hole in the volleyball net, Gail Kearns poses for animal crackers. English class isn’t dull to everyone; Ingrid Olson finds humor in such a dry subject as Hamlet. Seniors Jean Maynard thinks carefully before she answers a ques- tion on an English test. Caught in the act of being himself is Steve McAvoy. The many facets of a pen, as studied by Dave King. 19 Seniors Suddenly, without warning, it was his last year. But he sensed a more perceptible transition this year than he had noticed previously. He did not understand why it was this year that it had hap- pened; but it had, and there was nothing that he could do about it. He was at the top, and he did not even notice the freshman staring at him as he passed by, for his mind was reaching far ahead, into the future and how his “was” related to his “would be.” It seemed strangely anticlimactic that after all the long years of waiting he should regard the fact that he was a Senior with such lack of concern; but then again, he had just begun to live his life, and there were far bigger things ahead than he had ever before thought of. He could not waste time with reflective sentimen- tality, delicious as it was, for there was so much to be done and so little time. Time. He longed for all the time that he had wasted before; yet when he stopped to think, maybe it was just as well that he had not strictly budgeted his hours from the beginning, for he had enjoyed the time spent tech- nically doing nothing. But was he doing nothing? And who was to say that it was wasted? , for«'9 TO . r ttaTe • •V 1' ’Bd IM W� t — .... SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS—Charles Ferry, President.

SENIORS NOT PICTURED JAMES MORSE JAMES THETFORD DAVID WEBSTER 40 Juniors The halfway point had been passed, and he was now beginning his most important year, for suc- cess or failure here determined the fate of the next four years after high school. He began to be aware of why he was studying instead of merely accept- ing the fact that he went-to-school-to-learn-and-that- was-that. He looked at the future and then at the past and again at the future, afraid. But he knew he must continue as did the rest, and he shouldered the tasks and increasing involve- ments. A year had passed, and some of his friends had graduated, leaving him with less to look up to for guidance and forcing him to rely more on him- self and whether he had really learned. Things had changed, but he realized that con- stancy is never achieved, that one cannot reach out and stop the hands of the clock in order to catch up. And he resolved to make the best of what would occur, for one has to answer the knock on the door rather than expect the doors to be forever opened automatically.

Her thoughtful pose reflecting her intense concentration, Margaret Dubay ponders over English III. 50 Sophomores He was now able to regard more casually the fact that he was standing in front of the school at eight o’clock in the morning, and as he looked at the new freshmen he was reminded of last year by their self-consciousness and uncertainty. His present as- surance allowed him to begin more confidently the second year, this false confidence allowing him to live occasionally up to the title of sophomore, or wise fool; for then was there much he had yet to learn, and he had not yet fully mastered the art of restraint. But he had matured some, this maturity showing in his changed attitudes and actions. He was now in the secure middle, neither youngest nor oldest, and it was easier somehow, being neither inexperienced nor totally responsible. The year seemed to go by faster, and he sometimes stopped to wonder what he had skipped or what he was missing that should not have been missed. But he rationalized, and ascribed it to aging, and left it at that because he did not yet realize how precious time was. SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS—Jamie Wright, President.

All of last year’s seniority was being overshadowed by the insecurity brought about by his present sur- roundings, the old confidence of being among the oldest replaced by the ever present feeling of being one of the youngest. He looked at the Seniors and tried to imagine himself when he would be in their position, looking with admiration on their maturity and attempting to model himself after them. He became more at ease as he gradually adjusted himself to the new atmosphere, and cautiously be- gan to find his place in the social structure. Through various organizations he made newT friends and learned that the upperclassmen were not that dif- ferent from himself, that they accepted him and helped him. He studied hard and was rewarded for his work, looking through the glass of the bulletin board with pride at his name beside the others of his class. He looked back on his early apprehensions and smiled, remembering that first day and wondering how it could have seemed such a monumental task to become what he was now. He recalled the Fresh- man Reception, and how he had felt when that shaving cream first hit him and the room had laughed. He had laughed with them, but he now thought of it in a different way, realizing that it was one of the many tests that he must yet undergo, and that the uncertainties of before were so minor compared to those ahead.

Silver M” In this world of hyper-specialization there is still a need for the person with a rounded education, whose interests and aptitudes lie in various fields, and who understands and appreciates subjects other than his primary interest. He is one whose broader perception enables him to see the forest rather than meticulously scrutinize the minute characteristics of a single tree, to adapt to varied situations, and to be more self-sufficient. He is not a jack-of-all-trades, master of none; rather, a combination of the two extremes of specialization and diversification, one who is able to organize and combine many separate parts into an efficient unit, aware of the aims of each, yet keeping in mind the goal of all. He is a leader. Silver “M” encourages and promotes proficiency in varied interests, both scholastic and extra-curricular, by awarding points earned for work done in these interests. It does not aim to give credit merely to mathematicians, actors, football players, or chemists. It strives to build well-rounded indi- viduals who have capably contributed, through their achieve- ments, to the school and to themselves. 72 Row One: Richard Pratt, Stanley Lane, Craig McNeer, Allyn Hewins, Peter Philbrook, Mary Jane Leach, Mary Lou Thompson.

National Honor Society Proficiency and excellence are the products of hard work and native ability, but either alone is rarely successful in producing quality results. The National Honor Society recog- nizes those whose scholastic achievements show that they have used their talents and have excelled, who through their achievements have shown themselves worthy of recognition. The few who attain membership are to be regarded with respect, for they have proven themselves by consistently maintaining the standards of studying and learning that epitomize the National Honor Society.

Student Council Gail Buttles, President. Representative of the varied viewpoints of a body of students wishing to express democratically their opinions and resolve their differences, the members of the student council reflect the process by which their country is governed, meeting to determine the outcome of certain issues in much the same way as do the representatives of the various states in Congress. This council of students serves as an organized and quali- fied voice for the students in matters taken up by the administration which affect the school and often serves to discipline or obtain advantages for the student body. The Student Council is in a way a preliminary introduction to self-government and better prepares its members for their role as citizens in future life.

The trials and tribulations of candied apples tell on one of the AFS advisors, Miss McPhetres. Despite the physical boundaries, the hostilities and suspi- cions, the arrtied guards and age-old enmities that separate one race or religion or nation from another, there is still encouragement for those who realize that there is little other than color or allegiance that distinguishes between any two individuals, that one person is not really as different from his neighbor five thousand miles away. There are still those who reach out to help their fellow man, to understand his way, to teach him that he might become stronger, to learn from him. There are still those who bridge the gap yawning a language wide and an acceptance deep with the outstretched hand of friendship, wishing to solve the world’s problems and disputes not with bloodshed but with understanding, not with hostility but with respect and an honest desire for peace. It is this brotherhood that keeps alive the flame of hope burning somewhere, lighting a small pathway through the storm. Ginny Johnson, just home after a year in Christchurch, New Zealand, beams with memories of that year a wide ocean away. Harold Cutler, Martha Reed, Steve Smith, and Sylvia Ferry search in the dictionary, in illustration of another aspect of AFS. 79 French Club Charlene Dudley, Vice-President; Marolyn Wells, Secretary; Laura Anderson, Presi- dent; Mr. Skea, Advisor; and Harold Cutler, Treasurer. By gathering together as a group of students interested in the culture, politics, and history of France, as well as the language which it rep- resents, the members of the French Club participate in various French oriented activities. By speaking, reading, and writing in French, the members are helped to become more proficient in the actual use of the language. This is the purpose of the French Club: to take what is learned in the classroom and apply it to real cir- cumstances, to make it come alive by practical use, making the learn- ing of French an interesting and meaningful pursuit. Spanish Club The Spanish Club, a group interested in the culture, background, and part played by Spanish speaking countries in today’s world, meets to engage in Spanish related activi- ties that bring alive the learning of the language and abet the fluency with which the students employ it. By applying the knowledge of the classroom to real use, Spanish is enlivened and made more mean- ingful—the drudgery of memorizing vo- cabulary and conjugating verbs being made more colorful and appealing than if they were confined merely to rote drill having little or no applications to modem life. Thus, the student’s participation' in the vari- ous activities of the Spanish Club makes him more aware of the language and its use to him.

Future Teachers of America Typing out a worksheet is Susan Flood of F.T.A. Helen George fills out the answer key to a test, and Susan Flood, Margaret Dubay, and Carolyn Kae Ferris look on. The purpose of the FTA is to encourage the interests of various students in the teaching profession, and to give them experience in this area. By participating in activities related to teaching, by helping teachers in the actual teaching proc- esses such as making up and grading tests, or by arranging topics for presentation, the members of the FTA learn about the many facets of teaching and, at the same time, aid the teachers by helping them accomplish their work. The FTA helps to prepare the teachers of tomorrow by assisting the teachers of today.

By visiting various business firms and offices on field trips or practicing their typing, they become better acquainted with the many aspects of secretarial work. This application of skills learned in the class- room to everyday business life enables them to gain a greater understanding of the many phases of sec- retarial work.

Camera Club With their instrument, the cam- era, they freeze the moment: the instant, the expression. They learn, they experiment for that goal of clarity. They will capture that life and reality, and they will gain and give pleasure by the products of their success. A newly organized group, the Outing Club was created to instill in students an appreciation for the beauty and wonder of nature. They undertake hikes and ski trips in order to familiarize their members with the outdoors.

Orchestra Many sounds from many instruments float and rise and dip and fall, a spectrum of moods, combined and directed to produce a complexity of beauty, a moan of sorrow, a shout of exultation, a murmur of enrapturement, blended and harmonized with human feeling. An expression of the infinite changing range of emotions, a portrait of the soul, reproduced in the sublime colors of sound. Vibrating reeds and moving valves become animated, a medium for creation. 85 David Morse relaxes between tunes at an Orchestra rehearsal. Putting punch into the sound, the job of Clifton Mix, Jr., and David Cate. In the auditorium, a group of students, brought together during the week by a common interest, begin to set up chairs and instruments. Theirs is the job of drawing from cold metal and wood, notes that vibrate with life. They are charged with the task of bringing together many different sounds, many different modes of music, to form a melody that will please the ears of the music connoisseur and the noisy seven-year-old, the student of music and the student of math, the crowd at a football or basketball game. Theirs is a life of rehearsal and rehearsal, concert upon concert, but is rewarded with the satisfaction of a successful performance.

Slowly, our desires are channeled into different areas, and one of those is twirling. To us, it is more than simply half-time entertainment. The endless nights of practicing: then the night of the final decision arrives. As we pass before our judges, hearts and hopes set high, we put on our best performance. There are some who don’t achieve what they have tried so hard for. There are tears on both sides, but they are only temporary. For now we begin the work we have been selected to per- form. J.V.

Masque “Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more.” So it is that the actors, masquerading a part of Life which they have memorized for a few brief moments of presentation, portray upon the finite wooden platform the thoughts and emotions of the fretting and strutting of millions. They are but devices communicating one person’s interpretation of Life, likenesses of reality that try to re-create shapes of the shadow that walks on, hand in hand with time. For Life’s but a walking shadow, ever-changing, ever full of precious seconds never to be re-lived, to be heard no more. And its echoes, reverberating painted and costumed and lighted, sound across the stage upon which the actors move, capturing a feeling long past and transmitting it to the poor players watching the enactment of Life from the dark. Advisor to the Masque: Miss Blankenbeker reads a prospective one-act. A radio interview to provide answers to the question: has the U.S. actually been invaded by a 3-by-5 country?

Comparative Governments We are Americans, and once we accepted on faith that our system was best; but now after weighing the merits and failings of other governments, we have justified that natural pride and increased it so that we remain ready to crusade for democracy. We will give it a resurgence, strive to make the best system better and offer it proudly to those who wTould be free. —Harold Albert A current issue of the Peking Review is discussed by Jeff Cueto, Harold Cutler, Miss Neireiter (instructor-mediator), Craig McNeer, and Charlie Ferry at a meeting of Com- parative Governments seminar.

Wendy Harding, Peter Philbrook, Kathy Battles, Carol Goulet, and Mr. Phillips, Advisor. Laura Anderson points out Solonscope progress on a wall chart. Solonscope The Solonscope records the current happenings of the school. The plays, the basketball games, the track meets, and the events concerning the various other organizations. In it are the personal comments, the jokes, the writings of the students. It is their paper, their medium of expression, and thereby reflects the true feelings, the true attitudes of those who contribute to its contents. It is the student’s world seen through the eyes of that wrorld’s inhabitants, a creation writ- ten for students by students concerning students. It is by no means professional in its construction, yet the freshness and originality make it what it is, an informative sketch of student life. Wendy Harding, Editor. 93 Record Faces smiling, faces intent, faces talking, laughing, silent. Hustling, shuffling, slouching, pushing. Chairs scraping, papers rustling, pens scratching; here a yawn, there a cough. Lockers slamming, books thumping, chalk squeaking, a window closing, the hiss of steam through the knocking pipes, the rustle of clothes as bodies too long stagnant move in chairs, impatient. The animated shell of masonry and glass and steel stirs with life inside itself; Jjreathing, seeing, hearing, thinking. This is the school, a mass of faces presented as a single face yet composed of many unique parts, each very distinct and very important. The pressing bodies and beating hearts and aching lungs of the basketball games, the concentration and butterflies and cold cream of a masque play, the solemn tenseness and final frantic cramming for midyear exams, the carefree laughter and informal conversations of lunchtime, the intent precision and care of a chemistry experiment. This is the school; real, alive; a separate community where the hopes of to- morrow are prepared for, the destinies are molded.

Saunders, Advisor. echoing corridors, here among the wooden desks engraved with names representing faces long past, here among the pencils, pens, textbooks and library passes, the physicists, social workers, engineers, doctors, and lawyers of tomorrow laugh and learn and love and begin to appreciate what life really is. Moments of exultation at newly-won knowledge, moments of tri- umph at an excellent test grade, moments of happiness at a shared understanding between friends; moments past never to be re-lived, a continual succession of the moments of growing up, now lodged in the storerooms of the mind, to be reminisced and smiled at and used to plot the future’s course. This is the school, with all of its precious moments of living, of happening; a place where plans are made and thoughts are shaped and dreams are formed, where establishments are challenged and explored, a place where maturing minds learn to think, to reason; where experiences are gained, never to be taken away. Recorded in these pages are captured moments, representative of the too-short stampede of time that is youth. A time, a place, a feeling preserved for posterity, to be looked at and remembered. This is the school. —William Gentry Mary Lou Thompson and Sheldon Prentice watch as Sandy Griggs places pictures into their assigned positions.

Spaulding game co-captains Dave Guilmette and Jim Me- grath. It was a long cold season for the Varsity Football squad; but despite a tremendous spirit, we remained winless. The defeat of our team was not due to a lack of desire. We were very weak in size and experience. There were only five returning lettermen, the rest having just graduated from the Junior Varsity. The MHS attack was led by Dave Guilmette, Greg Board- man, and Sheldon Prentice. Jay Jones, a sophomore, was rough and tumble quarterback. George McDowell, a senior in his first year of football, also saw service in the quarter- back slot. Due to lack of size and maneuverability, players were sit- uated in unfamiliar positions, and a players’ best aptitude often had to be neglected. Due to a lack of men on the bench, veterans had to serve throughout the game; this tended to weaken the team. Frequent injuries plagued our chances throughout the season. A bright spot appeared in place-kicker Dick Pratt, who missed only one extra-point in the season—during the Spaulding game. Although we lost by large margins in several games, it was due to lack of experience and size. I feel I can safely foresee a better year to come and, perhaps with the J.V. team coming up, an even better year after that. —Peter Philbrook KNEELING: Brian Reed, Jim Thetford, Denny Shute, Dick Kemp, Dave Guilmette, Jim Megrath, Cam Webster, George Seivwright, Dennis Duckett, Danny O’Brien, Mike Law.

The Junior Varsity Football team was faced with the same problems as the Varsity—it lacked size, strength, and experience. We were hindered by frequent injuries. Only 13 boys suited-up for the Spaulding game at the end of the season. Under Coaches Rocchio and Kimble, we demonstrated drive and initiative but were overwhelmed by more experi- enced opposition. Standouts were Chris Dale and Courtland Perry, both of whom were injured and unable to play in the last game. Bill Carpenter quarterbacked and should prove to be an excellent back-up man for Jay Jones in the Varsity next year. —Peter Philbrook KNEELING: Phil Fernandez, Pete Nicholson, Greg Fleck, Dave Graffagnino, Richard Goodell, Greg Nash, Tom Lowe, George Lupien, Ste- phen Donnelly, Bob Harring- ton, Richard Weiss.

V. Basketball KNEELING: David Walker, John Martin, David Deyo, Phil Fernandez, Gary Hughes. STANDING: Coach Rocchio, Pete Nicholson, Ed Cano, Richard Weiss, Steve Donnelly, Tom Lowe, Manager Greg Nash. A young Junior Varsity Basketball team had a rough time of it. Most of the J.V. team were fresh- men and had to face veteran sophomores and jun- iors. Freshman Gary Hughes provided consistently high scoring. Peter Nicholson and Phil Fernandez, both sophomores, were the backbone of the team in both defense and offense. The J.V. team gained something more important than victory—experience. The J.V. team is a test- ing ground and preparation for the Varsity. It is more important to understand the fundamentals than to be victorious. —Peter Philbrook 107 Diane Arey and Robin Colby lead a Solo ns cheer.—Photo courtesy The Times-Argus. Varsity Basketball To use a term well known in the sports world, this has been a building year. The Varsity Basketball team lost eight seniors last year, including that year’s five starters. Dick Cody and Dave Carbo were the only boys returning from the Varsity squad and neither had seen much action the year before. Dave Carbo was the only senior returning. We counted heavily on juniors Dick Cody and Gary McQuesten and sophomores Lenny Leene and Jay Jones. Juniors Greg Boardman, Carlo Buzzi, and Sheldon Pren- tice and sophomores Ed Hoare and Bill Carpenter round- ed out the squad. We won only three games for a 3-15 overall record and 3-12 league record. We defeated favored B.F.A. and C.V.U.H.S. The only team we met in the favored posi- tion was Middlebury. In the B.F.A. game, Cody scored a record-breaking 45 points. In the C.V.U.H.S. contest we defeated the opponent 15 points. We were beaten twice by our friendly rival, Spauld- ing; but on the light side, our faculty beat the Spaulding faculty, 65-52, the day after our Varsity was defeated, 80-39. But the MHS team did capture one record: Dick Cody took the Northern League scoring record with 24.4 points per game in the 15 league games. He scored a total of 352 points. Though he isn’t tall, Dick combines speed and an amazingly soft touch in shooting. Though not high scorers, the other members of the team were very consistent in both defense and offense. Next year we should have a champion team. The other teams in the league will be experiencing the loss of their most important starters, as we did last year. We will lose only one senior, Dave Carbo. —Peter Philbrook KNEELING: Assistant Manager Mike Law and Man- ager Peter Philbrook.

In late fall, before the snow, the team runs cross country till the snow comes. When it finally falls, they venture out with a zeal that cannot be matched by a blizzard. The competitive spirit of our boys brought them a fifth place in the districts. Coaches Naess and Phillips can view with pride the ever-increasing skill of our boys in a sport that has provid- ed enjoyment for thousands of Vermonters. Novitiates at the state meet in Brattleboro, February 16- 18, our skiers placed eleventh. If the spirit shown this year is an indication of future meets, we can look forward to a continually higher placement, year after year. —Peter Philbrook “Just like home in Norway,” remarks Halvard Oye while running cross country for Montpelier at a ski meet.
