Montpelier High School - Record Yearbook (Montpelier, VT)

Text from Pages 1 - 168 of the 1969 volume:

— Dedication The yearbook dedication is not only the dedication of one book to one man. It is an expression of appreciation for the assistance he has given us as an advi- sor and teacher, but it is also a representative of what the senior class admires and respects. Through our four years at Montpelier High School, we have met people we admired but soon forgot, respected and then became disillusioned with. We would like to dedicate this Record to a man whose worth we have real- ized more than ever in the last year; a man who has remained constant in our respect and admiration. He is one who has played such a large part in bringing us to the final climax of our four years of growth. Therefore, we, the Senior Class of 1969, hereby dedicate this yearbook to Mr. Bond, in gratitude for the work and effort he has shown for us as our advi- sor, teacher, and friend.

That’s hard to answer. But I guess you measure it by people . . . what they do, how they do it, when they did it . . . all those things. The only thing that can’t be weighed is the why and wherefore. But now, maybe you’d like to play a game, just like a lot of games you’ve had to play before. This book is our Story of’69 (or) Games People Play. So sit back . . . and join along. 5 The Administration This is the administration, it resides in the center of the first floor and in an office building on Main Street. The object in their game is to run the school efficiently, and they usually accomplish their goal, in spite of a few incomplete passes and several blocking attempts each year. It isn’t an easy game, and sometimes quite futile, when the various players conflict with each other, thus stalemating the whole process of running the school. The amount of ease with which this game progresses is determined by the administration and the other players, the faculty and students, who have their own opinions and ideas of playing the same game. MR. WEISS, Our Superintendent. Although a game like this is rather rugged at times, it does have its compensations for the ad- ministration. It has a monopoly on the P.A. sys- tem. It has a veto power which can be overruled only if intense pressure is applied, which no one really cares to apply. It also has the privilege of being the first to address the students and faculty before each assembly, a privilege not to be taken lightly. Each school has to have an administration. It is a necessary part of the Game. In spite of the ten- sions it creates sometimes, a school without an ad- ministration would not be the same, and in fact, would not be. 6 It is with much sincerity that I wish the Class of 1969 a happy and successful fu- ture, with the hope that from their experi- ences at Montpelier High School they have gained an insight into their ever growing lives, and this ever changing world. There are two types of schools: those that are structures of steel, brick, and glass, and those that are units or groups of young people coming together for a common purpose, and held together by common goals. Montpelier High School is a living way of life, not an institution. It is as vital as its members, as full of energy as its student body, and as compassionate as the people within it. Our school sends you young men and women out to the challenging world of to- morrow with a message 9Fits own. Do not be complacent; be active. Do not be a “taker”; be a giver. And above all, do not be a follower; be a leader — a Montpelier High School Leader. MR. STEWART, Montpelier High’s Principal I somehow hope that a little of myself will graduate with each class from Mont- pelier High. The class of 1969 takes with them more than just a little since I have come to know each of you as a counselor and now as your assistant principal. All of you have made my adjustment to a new position much easier because of the assist- ance you have given. For this alone I will remember the class of 1969. I sincerely hope that this class will use wisely that which you have learned at M.H.S. and that the world will be a better place as a result of your lives. As you build your lives, gain wisdom and knowledge, and seek a deeper understanding of mankind, return and share yourself with those of us who hopefully have contributed to your formal education. Best wishes to each of you and may God be with you always. BRUCE E. STEWART Ladies and Gentlemen of the Class of 1969: Peter J. Beck - Senior Class of 7969 A fit member of our varsity team downs an oppo- nent on a brisk Saturday afternoon. Throughout our four years at Montpelier High, we have watched the classes before us evolve from Sophomores to Jun- iors and to the hallowed status of Seniors. Now that we occupy the treasured throne of Seniorhood, we would like to show ourselves in the different moods and settings in which the Sen- iors find themselves. When a class becomes Seniors, the whole atmosphere sur- rounding it becomes more relaxed and more natural. The Seniors don’t try to make impressions on their fellow students. If they haven’t accomplished that by now, nothing can be done. The Seniors are more natural, less inhibited, and more concerned with what they think of themselves than with what others think of them. With practiced hands Bonnie Potter disassembles her trusty alto clarinet. The world of books holds untold wonder for Lau- rel Markham, as she pours over volume after action-packed volume deep in the stronghold of Mrs. Cassort. Sabine Beseler. Michiru Oguchi. Terry Crowther, and Jean Mosher react to Mr. Anderson during Col- legium. Terry Lewis takes a breather from the tiring drill of the marching band at the Springfield Exposition. More interesting than the work being done by Cheryl Grandfield is the preoccupation of Carol Battey, who stares blankly at a cinder block wall. One of life's little pleasures is receiving notes in class. In this case Sandy Babic is Santa Claus. Dimes can’t remain hid- den for long. Chip Routh wishfully ob- serves Krista 1 Martin as she gets a Coke. Occasionally, the mood of the Senior year develops into a game which can be played only by Seniors, but which is sel- dom recognized by them. It is known as “Do not alter, repri- mand, or try to guide me; I’m a Senior.” This game is not fully understood by the rest of the school community. Their doubts of the basic precepts of the game, however, do not upset the Seniors, who know full well that they are right. Some of the attitudes of the Seniors could very well be viewed by an impartial observer as being very similar to that of a World War I soldier about to go over the top. Economics students Bonnie Poulos, Jean Mosher. Phil Fer- nandez, and Scott Kokins enjoy a free moment. II Jamie Wright and Janet Jones sit during a break taking in the cafes, chatting busily, and scrutinizing all the other girls’ gowns. 7968 Junior Prom Queen of the prom, Jackie Crowell, dances with her escort, in — needless to say — a very, very happy state of mind. Each year, in the early spring, the class rivalry grows more intense. One of the reasons for this sudden case in classism is the Junior Prom. This is the climax of the year for the Juniors, and gives them the chance to prove their superiority over all the other classes. So they set busily to work with yards of crepe paper, hammers, nails, and tacks. The underclassmen look on with mild interest. The Seniors sit back and relax. The members of the court from left to right: Christa Buckley, Judy Leonard, Robin Colby, and Ellen Gray. Just arriving are Miss Bauman, and Sara Adams and Len- nie Leene. Their appearance would never hint that several hours earlier they were rushing about putting final touches on the decorations. Mark Tenney shows the world that proper dancing is a skill not lacking in concentration. One of the main aims of the Prom Game is to outdo the proms of preceding years. Sometimes the goal is reached, sometimes not. The verdict placed on the success of the prom depends on the stand- point at which it is viewed. Not as good as ours, think the Seniors. Never been anything like it, think the Juniors. Wait till next year, think the Sophomores. The Fresh- men don’t say much, since hardly any have seen it or care to. However, unlike preceding years, the Class of’69’s prom was a success from all points of view. Through hard work and imagina- tion, this prom excelled those which came before and those which shall come after. Out of 3,280 miles of red crepe paper, 10 cans of spray black paint, and strips of wood and cardboard, the fairyland of “An Evening in Paris” evolved. A trellis of roses arched above the entrance. An Eif- fel Tower overlooked the dance floor and, at the foot of the tower, sprays of water, from a fountain wreathed in roses, shone multi- colored in the lights. From the walls emerged the cafes of Paris, dimly lit by the street lamps at each corner. All present enjoyed the music of the fabulous Vis- tas. The Junior Prom, although the work of many, was individually experienced in different ways. For some the prom was perfection, for others, disap- pointment. The fact remains, however, that the prom, “Evening in Paris truly was partly dream- like, partly real. 13 Outstanding Seniors Completely uninhibited, influenced, or affected by outside forces, the seniors each year choose the superlatives of their class. The superlatives are the only awards which are conferred on students by the students only. There are no advisers or “disinterested judges to help, or hinder, the awarding. These honors are the seniors’ own, to confer on their classmates whom they feel are outstanding in extracurricular activities, and personal traits.

Seniors Class of 7969 The best learning is that which the student pursues beyond class. Lynne Allen benefits from Mr. Ross in this pursuit. Cheryl Grandfield enter- tains some unique thought. Once upon a time there was a harmless revolutionary — Mark Tenney. Seniors join in with the underclassmen to build school spir- it. Hey, Jude . . . Certain facilities in the school are ab- solutely necessary, as shown by Debbie Prescott. Persistence and skill form the twirling ability of Bonnie Houston. Bruce Jenkins, Pat Jennings, and Chip Sprague confer on an evasive answer. The guidance suite is a valuable resource center by the senior year. Here, the knowing looks of Carol Richardson and Christa Buckley be- tray their awareness of the camera. 47 After signing so many yearbooks, it becomes hard to be original. r- Brian Powell performs a characteristic func- tion. The sewing talents of Bonnie Potter rep- resent one of the many divergent interests of the class of 1969. There are some types of pressure that can be measured.

The faces of the juniors have been around long enough to be distinguished from those of the ordinary masses in the hall. This is the year of self-importance. They have not yet become seniors, but they can now look down from their lofty pinnacle at the lowly fresh- men and sophomores. Now they begin to wield their power; they play the game of Running the School (although the seniors have not yet relaxed their grip); becoming president of this and that, taking college boards, and borrowing college ca- talogues from the guidance office. Dan Moulton covers the last simple steps before becoming lost in a mass of confusion. Caught in a flurry of papers and thoughts is Larry Keyes. Somewhere in his mind, Peter Heitman knows the answer to 2. The Juniors — always soo studious. S2 Lisa Johnson and Sheila Olson lay their trap for the famished and unexpecting students. Bill Sargeant contemplates the wonders of the marking system. Pat Hartman is caught in nightly con- torsions of putting on the boots.

Sophomores Class of 7977 This is the year a class becomes really part of the school. As freshmen, they still bore the stigma of new-comers, and could be singled out in the halls. As sophomores, however, they blend into the crowd and as a group cannot usually be distin- guished from the juniors. Oh, they still snicker at scantily-clad Latin goddesses, and they still pass notes fifty pages long, but they have begun to make known their presence. The trend in sophomores seems to be toward more con- formity to the code of non-conformity; they have greatly im- proved since when they were freshmen. They have become more “sensitive in their English classes, and more accus- tomed to the general school atmosphere and system. 60 Don Edson poses for still another advertisement for Coke. Sixth period is the auditorium and chorus to a large number of sophomores. Maria Canas looks to junior Danny Moulton for academic inspiration.

Sweet and innocent they are, like warm gray clay, prepared for mould- ing. The biology department seeks to stimulate their minds through studies of earthworms and sheep hearts. The English department seeks to broaden their horizons. Each language depart- ment clutches them to its heart to keep them from studying in another foreign language. These are the sophomores of tomorrow, the jun- iors of the day after tomorrow, and the seniors of the day after the day after tomorrow. They play the games that all the classes play - Squinting Their Wide-Eyed Innocent Stares, Working up Saliva for Spitballs, and Following the Leader. i Brent Miller expresses the exuberance of being a freshman. Ben Moses sees the library as a place to study, while Bruce Watson finds it to be more of a cultural center. 68 Sometimes we wonder if Kevin O’Connell is with us, but you can tell Paul Anderson and Gary Mureta are. Paul Jarry shares in one of the hor- rible experiences of English class — the oral report. 4 Having apparently given up, Dan Montgomery relaxes. Always laughing, Jim Thompson finds a way to enjoy every class. Caught in a moment of no particular concern is Teia Rivers. Gary Mureta and Kevin O’Connell on the way up the ladder, hopefully for the success of their class. Scott Fitzsimmons explains the technicalities of the ticket booth to Brent Curtis as sopho- more Mana Canas looks on. Robert Hill questions in his mind if the trick was really worth it.

Varsity Football When football practice began in early Au- gust, 75 potential players, 26 of whom later made varsity, showed up to prepare for the fall season, meeting twice a day until school started. The team practiced maneuvers and the techniques of blocking the opponent. Throughout the season, the morale of the team held together despite the losing record. There were a few close games; Burlington beat our team by six points, while we led Rice for three quarters and lost in the last quarter by one touchdown. Suffering very little from injuries, the team lost only one man. Steve Donnelly, for the whole season. John Martin made All-State as a defensive line-backer, and Frank Weeks and Mike Brady both received honorable mention for the All-Northern Conference. The team fought hard throughout the fall, and while previous MHS teams may have compiled better records, the 1968 team de- serves to be remembered for the pride and determination the players displayed both on and off the field. Attempting an intercep- tion is Peter Nicholson. Steve Clark, retired for part of the sea- son, looks on toward his intact team- mates. The determined Frank Weeks fights to the finish. Coach Morrison examines Pete Nicholson’s possible in- jury. 80 1968-1969 RECORD MHS VISITOR S.

Pulling off the final regular season record showed twelve wins and seven losses with a six game winning streak, a sixth place finish in the fif- teen member Northern League with a nine and five mark, and a tourney play-off game against third seated Champlain Valley Union .in the Vt. class L' Basketball Championships. MHS players Bill Cody and Ed Hoare clash with BHS players in a tough. Paul Bowles fights for the ball. Varsity Basketball 84 Len Leene uses karate to stop a shot. Teamwise, the Solons outscored their opponents 1055 to 1017, outrebounded their op- ponents 763 to 662, but also outfouled the opposition 320 to 269. Probably the most im- pressive figure in an analysis of the team was the fact that in the last seven games of the season no opponent scored over fifty points against the Solons. Spirit, teamwork, defense and speed were the trademarks of this year’s squad. With this as a leg- acy, the teams of the future should provide even more excitement for the fans at Montpelier High School. Bill Carpenter tries to stop a shot.

The 68-69 season provided another winning year for the “Kimble Kids ' as they came up with a fine 14-5 record. An amazing aspect concerning this record was the fact that five sophomores who would normally be with the Junior Varsity were instead up with the Varsity. Balanced scoring was the common factor among the ball players with defense being the greatest asset. Although it would be difficult to single out a single individual for his outstanding work, the following boys were major contributors to the success of the team: Willus Bachus and Les Marineau for their rebounding; Peter Dale. Bob Pickens, and Danny Ayer for their defensive ability; and Trudge Bressette and Steve Hoare for their ball handling ability. A very important factor in the success of the season was the generalship of Coach Kimble. He is leaving us this year and will be greatly missed. His dedication and his ease of manner and attitude were very influential in the compiling of an overall two year rec- ord of twenty-five wins and only eleven losses.

Although a limited schedule was played, the record was six wins and no losses, a total of eighteen boys par- ticipated in the program with each boy having an op- portunity to play in each contest. A few of the boys who excelled were: Ron Chadwick. Paul Jerry, and Dave Augustoni in ball handling; and Dave DeForge. Dick Prentice, and Jeff Hatch excelling on defense. 87 Boys' Ski Team This year’s ski team was the most tal- ented in recent memory, and one of the most successful. The entire team effort was essential, but several members de- serve special mention Bill Sykas (win- ner of the State Jumping Trophy); Russ Bork. Jim Clemons, and Alan Chicker- ing (ski meister at Harwood), all three event men; Dave Morse, Gary Lapan, and Ned Battey, in cross country; Dave Sykas in jumping and slalom; and Steve Miller in the Alpine events. The height of the season was the Har- wood meet where we took first place out of a field of eleven teams. Unfortunate- ly, the district meet was a big disap- pointment. The season was generally good, though ... not one broken leg. Left to right: top: Gary Lapan, David Clemons, Ned Battey, Mark Seguin, Steve B Miller, James Hunts- man. Richard Curtis.

Jim Clemons and Dave Morse. The '68 runners lost only to Burlington and St. Johnsbury. The single early-season loss to St. Johnsbury was avenged in the last meet of the season as the Solon runners topped St. Johns- bury 26-34. Highlights of the season included a 6th place finish in the state meet (third from the northern district behind Burlington and Rice), Chris Dale’s setting a new course record on the Hubbard Park Course, and Marshall Gard- ner’s 10th place finish in a field of 130 runners at the Lyndonville Invitational. Prospects are good for continued success as this year's top three runners will be returning for next year and five other varsity lettermen will also be back to give the 1969 team depth and experience. In addition, a number of good JV and Freshman squad members will be returning. Scott Fitzsimmons eagerly watches as Mark Seguin races to the finish. u !ghtv Mr Ph;,niPf; coachi Alan Chickering.

They set up a student-faculty committee which con- templated a Student Court. They also organized a student lounge. A real improvement has been the Coke machine, which now adorns the wall op- posite the front entrance. It provided a unique cultural center for thirsty students who were forced to spend a dime because the handles were off the water fountains. They sold pens, sweatshirts, and other paraphernalia under the name of a school store, and sent MHS students to visit schools in the area to, in theory, study the organization of their student council. The Student Councilors are also the originators of the Christmas Ball and the Winter Carnival, the latter of which produced a multitude of frostbitten fingers and class competition. Such were the achievements of the council as they again tried to play the game of student power. From left to right, top: Bill Millard, president; Joy Johnson, vice-president.

Silver The highest award Montpelier High School has to offer, the Silver “M,” is given to those who have achieved excellence in both scholastic and extracurri- cular endeavors. Those who received the award earned it by showing a wide interest in activities while managing to excel in schoolwork. It is an honor to be among the few who show through their actions that they are a combination of the characteristics that make up the leaders of today and tomorrow. Their game is to be the well-rounded individuals who have contributed through their achievements to the school and to their own lives. 93 From left to right, top: Cheryl Grandfield, Carol Battey, Jean Mosher, Mark Flanders, Brian Powell.

National Honor Society The National Honor Society is com- posed of those who have achieved a high scholastic standard set by the Society. Members are required to display qualities of good citizenship, scholarship, service, and leadership. These students who have been chosen for this organization are the cream — the elite — of MHS. They are the leaders of to- morrow, the masters of America's fate. All hail to thee, thou thrice-blessed creatures!

During the week of June 26th. the girls paraded through the dorms of V.C., shouted slogans, and politicked around the V.C. green. When the Ball with Boys’ State finally arrived, the girls, dressed in their Sunday best, journeyed to Nor- wich, where they met their Prince Charmings of the evening. After a night of happy dreams, the girls made their exodus and left only the echoes of laughter and whispers behind. They took home with them happy memories and new made friendships, as well as a bet- ter understanding of their own Vermont government. From L to R: Sylvia Ferry, Cheryl Grandfield, Judy Leonard, Charlotte Devittori. Marga- ret Miller. DAR The recipient of the D.A.R. Good Citizenship Award has reason to be proud. This award represents the confi- dence and admiration of one’s peers over an entire school career. This is not a game in itself; it is the fruit of many former ones. Model U.N. Unfortunately some of the worthwhile activities in which M.H.S. participates can bene- fit only a few. So it is with the Model U.N. One long week- end at Plymouth State Col- lege gave two juniors an op- portunity to understand methods of diplomacy and problem-solving at the global level. Sylvia Ferry Brian Powell and Diane Morse Boy's State Very similar to Girls' State, the lucky electees spent a week in patriotic exercises and in studying the anato- my of our state and local government. The memories they have stored up are surely unforgettable, and al- though not as demonstrative as the girls, certainly they also have deep feelings for this week at Boys’ State.

Service Probably the most worthwhile organization in the school, the A.F.S. provides through its international sponsorship a rewarding experience for many. The ex- change offers the opportunity to students from other countries to come to Montpelier; students from Mont- pelier, in turn, travel to other countries for three months or a year. Through this exchange, the students of one country really discover that people living in other countries are actually people. They’ve been told this often enough, but now it has been proven, and a feeling of friendship — individual, personal friendship — is established among the students who are involved. Montpelier’s own chapter of the A.F.S. managed to have their regular monthly meetings this year and a few extras to boot. A student from Turkey who attend- ed Colby Junior College came to speak at a reception. The weekend of the Winter Carnival brought all of the state’s A.F.S. students and host families up to enjoy parties. Films, dances, and dinners. In the spring, the organization held an annual A.F.S. dinner which fea- tured foods from around the world. The A.F.S. is a worthwhile endeavor. Their game is sending a student abroad — who can knock that? Michiru Oguchi, Lynne Allen, and Sabine Beselerchat about their experi- ences in foreign countries.

Latin Club Mrs. Merriam aids in the Latin Club brownie sale. Officers, from left to right: Mrs. Merriam, advisor. The Latin Club went through its first year of existence after finally drawing up their constitution which was approved in No- vember. Among their activities were producing a Roman play, selling brownies, and holding a Roman banquet. Their game could be called Food for Thought. Its purpose is to banish forever the idea that Latin is dead. The Club The club of 1969 enjoyed a fruitful period during the year. An interested and active membership was responsible for making the club the worthwhile organization that it is. The club prides itself on activity as such. It also symbolizes the beginning of what is anticipated for the membership after high school and throughout their lives. We will always be indebted to the club for the new horizons which it opened up to us. It is impossible to know all — to be knowledgeable to the fullest extent. But the club feels that the true purpose of mankind is the unending struggle between those evasive forces which constitute the greatest part of human endeavor and achievement. If each person filled his existence with as much as it could hold, he could lift his head up high and declare that the doors to a fulfilling life are opened through varied associations and sundry opportunities. Silently and with dedication, the club continues. 98 Office Staff The job of keeping the school’s cen- tral nervous system from having a breakdown seems to become more of an operation every year. The office staff tries to help the paid office work- ers by delivering notes, and keeping track of the absent list. Their game is not to do or die, but rather to gain experience by playing king of the counter. From left to right: Diane Dornik. Gail Woodward. Sandy Babic, Karen Boucher.

Library Club Mrs. Cassort had help this year in ousting from the li- brary the note-passers, food-pushers, and eight million decibel whisperers. The library club helped to improve the efficiency and appearance of the library and to stand in the path of any students ruffling its tranquil waters. In the course of performing their many duties, such as mend- ing and cataloguing books, keeping the shelves in order, and delivering over-due notices, the library club members discovered just how much tender loving care a well- organized, up-to-date library requires.

With abundant pep and radiant smiles, the MHS Varsity Twirlers did their thing. After leading the band onto the football field, they performed for the crowds. At band concerts and basketball games, their routines varied as did their uniforms. And in March they too boarded the bus for Littleton, Mass, and the band exchange trip. Their game is to prove that the hand is usually quicker than the eye. JV Twiriers With the hopes of some day rising to the top, the JV twiriers exploited their talents at the 1968- 1969 home basketball games. Through prayers and with confidence, the girls showed that the face does not get red if the baton is not dropped. Top. left to right: Lise Boucher. Shelley Fenno. Janet McKee. Linda Wackerman.

Ronda Piro Varsity Cheerleaders Whether they were dressed in bulky white sweaters or green playsuits, the cheerleaders fought to the finish to create enthusiasm and encourage- ment for the crowds and the team. Their vim and vigor never faded al- though the story of defeat repeated itself many times. With acrobatic stunts and screaming voices they led the public and student body through 2,000 or more Yeahs!, Rahs!, and Fights! Throughout the year, they managed to play their own game of keeping the crowds occupied by straining the vocal chords.

Is it? Each Wednesday it visited us and onto it went the oowlers, who deposited themselves at the Twin City Lanes. From three to six they rolled balls down an aisle. They played games among themselves and others, too. The Twinfield bus (yellow) used to join them there. Bowling is fun and expensive. 104 GAA The Physical Fitness Game isn’t just for boys. There are girls who enjoy it too. This year they hiked, played foot- ball, swam at the YMCA in Burling- ton. They also participated in basket- ball games with Lamoille at Lamoille, hosted Braintree-Randolph in a vol- leyball game, held a student-faculty football game; generally challenged the boys in a game called “Who Gets To Use The Gyms The Most.” Brenda Person aims high for a basket during a practice session on a G.A.A. playnight.

It’s a game only couples could play, except for the sideline participation in slumber parties and the like for the female left- overs. Most of the couples had already adjusted to the fact that they’re going to play the game of Stars in Your Eyes and Stomped-On Toes. The royal couple, Sarah Adams and Lenny Leene. are crowned by Student Council president Bill Millard and last year’s queen Susan Fresolo (we finally got you in. Sue!) Dave Bowers runs an errand for his thirsty date. Refreshments were graciously served by Barb 106 Spaulding and Tim Dale, eighth graders. Out of a tangle of green and blue lights, fake snow, and real, honest- to-goodness Christmas trees, a Winter Twilight emerged. A real live band made the scene, and in throbbing, pounding notes played the game of Try and Turn 'em On. Whether or not they succeeded depends upon the dancers. The game of Pick and Choose the most popular had already been played, and the King and Queen were crowned before their pumpkin turned back into a coach. Lovely in blue velvet was the Queen of Winter Twilight; her es- cort became King and Knight-Errant to his lady. So the Winter Twilight ended, and homeward the little players went, to morning parties, headaches, and sweet dreams. Unlike Susan Sykas and Steve Smith, Patti Conti and Wayne McComisky appear to keep within the balance of things. A game initiated long ago was revived once more this year. It’s one of harmless fun and frolic to the seniors and one of dread and anxiety for the fresh- men. The victims were marked by their callow youth as their torturers rubbed their hands together and conjured up a million new funnies for them. Those freshmen who had distinguished themselves in inso- lence to their superiors were punished accordingly Eggs, balloons, and shaving cream were popped and sprayed at the helpless prey. No permanent damage was done. There was the usual clutter to clean up, and in the hearts of the freshmen sprang the thirst to repeat the game, but as the stringpullers, not as the pulled strings.

Spanish Club The Spanish Club combats the “How you gonna keep ’em down on the farm after they’ve seen Madrid?” philosophy by bringing “Madrid” to the school by way of pickle sales and a Christmas party for the teachers. The officers enticed underclassmen into this foreign den of experience to help them compete with the French club. In the colorful confines of Mr. Miana’s room, the Spanish Club studies the culture of Spain and worships such heroes as El Greco and Don Quixote. Mr. Miana assists Jackie Moran in her pur- suit of the Impossible Dream. Beth Brock enviously watches Marilyn Brad- ley eat a pickle which she smuggled from the cafeteria. A typical meeting of the Spanish Club includes a good time as well as a discussion. 108 French Club The French Club combats the “How ya gonna keep ’em down on the farm after they’ve seen Paree” philosophy by bringing “Paree” to the school by way of French films (ooh la la) and a French dinner, with real French food. At meetings, they conversed in MHS’s brand of French, and at Christmas all the French classes had a carol singing contest which was won by the eighth period class. The seventh and eighth grade French classes trooped over to put on a play, and in the spring, the club took a fake Petit Tour de France bike hike around Montpelier. The interest these members have in understanding our neighbors is more than most people have, and per- haps will benefit from this in twenty-five years . . . who knows?

After meets with Harwood, Spaulding, Burlington, and oth- ers; the girls made the final tour- nament down in Pittsfield and Proctor for the Northern League, while the boys made the state meet down in Rutland. Their game was to aim high and make the green - who knows, maybe someday the golf and bowling teams will actu- ally make it into the sports section of this book.

Debate Club It’s Speak-Your-Piece Time! Our Debate Club has done great things this year, with its sanguine and self-possessed orators fighting to the finish. One of the highlights here at MHS, was a speech by Mr. Mahoney, Assist- ant Attorney General of the State about de- bating. The debate team travelled around the state to express their ideas along with other schools. In two novice practice meets, Montpelier won four, and placed third in the meet. Beth Brock received the best speaker award. Beth Brock prepares points of rebuttal. Secretarial Club The aim of this club is to study business methods and to increase the efficiency of the club’s mem- bers. This year, it staged a Guess the Number of Jellybeans Game Contest, and borrowed 1,110 fin- gers and toes to count the jelly- beans. At Christmas time, the members became canary ladies and collected for the Argus Santa. Left to right: Debbie Avery, treasurer; Karen Boucher, secretary; Mrs. Marsh, advisor; Sandy Babic, president. Missing: Franny Highter, vice-president. The secretarial club members of today will be the State office and National Life workers of tomorrow. They will be practicing the efficiency that they have developed in writing inter-office memos and will be working in the fast pace of the business world. Ginger Trepto gasps and then quickly recovers from the shock of seeing that she has made no mistakes! One of the greatest problems we had while working on the 1969 Record was the laying out of the activities section. We attempted in planning the book to give each activity the most space and coverage possible. Therefore, no club was given less than one half page, and many were given more. In too many cases, this was a mistake. Many organizations in the school are so inactive that there is very little to say or show about them. Very often during the year we wondered why the games of Don’t Let The-------------Club Die and Stay Involved In Everything were played. We still do not know. Ill F.T.A. Teachers took heart this year once more as they surrendered their battles with the ditto machine, bulletin boards, and two fingered typing to a group of students who will be the future teachers. By practice teaching at Main Street and Union Schools, proctoring tests, and attending the FTA State Convention, they discov- ered both the frustrations and the fulfill- ments in teaching today’s youth.

Outing Club The enjoyment of the outdoors was in one way or another experienced by the members of this energetic organization. Dues-paying members had the benefits of cut rates at Glenn Ellen, hiking through the wilder- ness, and discovering many unused muscles. They subjected themselves to general physical punishment and all-round exhausting pleasure. Perhaps this in it- self is their game. Signing up to go skiing at Glen Ellen is Su- zanne McKee. Camera Club In its basement headquarters, the members of the Camera club were busy as little beavers printing up their latest shutter experiments, and growing more and more encouraged as they developed further. What they did in the darkroom remains unknown except to themselves, but The Record is grateful for their contri- butions and aid this year.

Through the films shown at meetings and trips to Goddard to see “Tartu ffe,” the Masque Members were inspired to accomplish miracles. “Apollo of Bellac” and “Sorry, Wrong Number’' were the first productions of the year, which filled the auditorium with screams and repeated. “My. how handsome you are! As the snow fell, so did the cur- tains on the four one-act plays, which were whittled down to two on Judgment Day. In spite of a slight shrinkage in the membership halfway through the year, the Masque continued, strong and steady. Spring brought the musical-comedy “The Fantastics,” directed by Mr. Anderson and Mr. Pelkey. With song and dance, the show was the first of many to follow. A trip to New York rewarded the top point earners, and They spent their time haunting the famous theaters which, perhaps, had begun as humble lowly Masques. The game of the Masque is to show that anyone can be an actor with the help of a sympathetic audience, greasepaint, and inexper- ienced crews. Steve Smith’s impish facade still cannot conceal the creative tal- ent of our Masque’s president. Mr one- stens critically as Steve McKnight tries out for In this scene from “Sorry.

A new course known as Journalism was initiated this year, and from it has evolved the student publications of the Solonscope. Through its various evolutions and revolutions, the Solonscope began to look like a newspaper. The staff had gained some ideas from their tour of the Barre Times Argus, during which they studied the techniques and layout of a professional newspaper. They then proceeded to invade the business world with requests for advertisements, and the school itself for opinion polls. The editors encouraged letters and they poured in, full of constructive and objective criticism. Perhaps they have won their game of proving that the pen is mightier than the smallest piece of gossip. Naomi Flanders purchases a Solonscope from Janet Ballantyne. 117 Orchestra Each Wednesday during eighth period, Smilie Memorial Auditorium was the scene of a little bit of culture. The usual sounds of the auditorium lobby were augmented by Brahms. Tchaikovsky, and Mozart as the orchestra re- hearsed. In the batting of an eye lash the members assembled themselves amid stands and instruments on the stage. After a brief ritual of chair arranging, tuning, and music distribution, the game began under the capable direction of Mr. Fink. This game was known as Make Do, Then Make Music. The sub- games included Make Your Flute Sound Like An Oboe and Turn Your Trombone Into A Bassoon. The M.H.S. orchestra played in several concerts during the year, including the Christmas Concert with chorus, and the Music Scholarship Concert in February. They left the audience with music in their hearts and the question in their minds: “Where was the conductor?” Mr. Fink joins the violins to equalize the balance and blend of instru ments. Brian Powell, Jim Lowe. Andrea Hadd, and Connie Carnahan bow their way through another classical durge. Mr. Louis Fink, the director. Andy Christiansen. Tom Lowe, and Abbey Kingston carry on their own little volume contest against the reed section, while Jack White sits there momentarily lost. The flutes and clarinets seem to be going along well, but only they will know how they sounded. Collegium The mad grab. Sabine Beseler and Steve Smith accompany the singers with an old wind instrument, the recorder. The group listens to Mr. Anderson, while some members privately appreciate the fact that they have escaped the per- ils of the cafeteria. 119 From left to right, top: Jean Mosher.

They meet 50 minutes a day to talk, laugh, and even to study and sing. Their director is the ever-energetic Mr. Anderson. This year, they performed Elizabethan madrigals, folksongs, carols and longer choral works at such places as the Stratton Mountain Arts Festival in the fall. At the Christmas Concert, some of the Singers took instruments in hand, recorders, strings, handbells, and percussion, to join the rest of the Singers in performing Christmas music from earlier times. The Singers also performed for many groups in the central Vermont area, as well as joining 2 church choirs in a performance of the Durufle Requiem in Beverly. Massachusetts. Spontaneous bursts of song were often heard in the halls of the school and downstreet as members of the group felt inspired. Their game is to be ever lively and free; show- ing openly, their undying love of their great idol. Cosmos J. Freebie. The Madrigal Singers bundled up to sing and play old En- glish carols and rocking spirituals in an outdoor scene at the December concert. Chorus As the sixth period arrived every day in the au- ditorium, so did 110 students to create a haven of would-be, could-be, and are-already singers. As the back of the auditorium slowly filled with books, the stage became alive with people talking, tuning guitars, and passing out music. The fearless leader. Mr. Anderson, daily stepped around and among the mixture of boys and girls mobbed to- gether, and with steady nerves and a loud voice guided them in the direction of singing. The group's singing echoed through the audito- rium and sometimes through the halls, much to the dismay of teachers on the first floor. Officers, left to right, top row: Brent Curtis.

The Chorus joins with members of the community to sing favorite carols. The huge pile of burning trees shooting off thou- sands of tiny sparks created a beautiful sight. This is the Chorus. The names have been omitted to protect the innocent. When singing in chorus, members seem a variety of ways. to express tnemseives The sights and sounds of the Christmas Concert contained both spectacle and beauty. The Chorus girls don the flamboyant dress of the Twenties, heightening the night club atmosphere. The lively, informal atmosphere encouraged the audience to take part. The guitars lead the way when rehearsing folk son Throughout the year they rehearsed for their many public performances. In the fall, they produced a Roaring Twenties Review which lasted two nights with three floor shows a night. In a 1920’s speak easy atmosphere, the group sang songs and danced with the audi- ence until midnight, making the two days never to be forgotten. In December, along with the orchestra and the Madrigal Singers, they presented a Christmas concert of tradi- tional favorites and old English carols. During vacation, a big tree burning ceremony was held, and the chorus members led the public in song. In March, they sang folk songs with guitars in the music scholarship concert. A re- vision of the roaring twenties music produced a new show which included a silent flick and more solo work. The group participated in a two-night concert with the orchestra, band, and madrigal singers; and later piled into busses for their own pleasure trip. Through their actions and results, the cho- rus proved without a doubt, that strength can lie in numbers, especially those from the Twenties. MHS Band Seventy-six trombones there aren’t — would you believe half a dozen? But the band underwent a complete rehauling, and came out with a sound and appearance never before seen by MHS . . . After the marching and concert bands were formed, and Mr. Mix had explained to angry parents the new system, rehearsals began both indoors and outdoors every day third period Acquiring a few new uniforms, and keeping the old ones (some appearing to be floor-length culottes), the band marched out on the football field and went through routines which more than once vied with the game in interest. On a hot Sunday in the fall, they took a trip down to Springfield, Mass, for the Eastern States Exposition, and marched, representing Vermont. Back home again, the members retailed the World’s Finest Chocolate Bars to the greater Montpelier area. As the year pro- gressed, the Pep Band awoke the spirit of crowds with song, while accompanying the twirlers through their feats of dexterity. After participating in the music scholarship concert with the other music organizations, and presenting a concert at Waterbury State Hospital, they held a rummage sale to help defray the cost of the exchange trip between Littleton, Mass, and Montpelier. The band game is to prove that anyone can be a temporary soloist if he is a half tone flat.

A brass quintet proves that it’s what’s up front that counts. The new accustical shells tower over the clarinets and pro- ject their sound throughout the audience. Mr. Mix, among other tasks, the director. Brad Collinsworth, Carol Battey, and Kathy Stannard walk down their last corridor before facing their parents and friends at a con- cert. The seniors of the band would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Mix for all the trouble he has been through to obtain all that he wanted from the band this year. His deeply lined face testifies to the effort and determination shown as he strived for the best. And if it weren’t for his quips about posing for animal crackers and having the worst bunch of milktoasts as trumpets in the band, the enjoyment of playing would have been partly lost. So as our own personal dedication, we would like to wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors, and the hope that someday someone will be able to blow louder on their horn than he can on his peanut whistle.

The Junior Prom had been covered, and ideas were swarming through the minds of the co-editors, George and Powell. Throughout the summer, they met with the publishing company representative, Harry Clark, who guided them along the straight and narrow path strewn with typewriter ribbons and frayed nerves. I he fall brought frustrations in the form of acquisitioning the opening ring picture, and seeing red to meet the color deadline. Work slacked off but caught up quickly as a new deadline charged down the calendar, and on November second, Brian, Margret, and Steve Smith spent all night together typing, writing, and laying out 34 pages of the yearbook. It also brought singing, swearing, and smoking as the wee hours crept on. The process of wringing hands and tearing hair continued as the staff played the games of identification, expurgation, and utilization of any stray student that happened to wander into Room 22. The photographers stole through the halls and classrooms snapping candids of hams and innocent victims. The big deadline loomed over the staff, and a frantic stampede began as a foreboding sense of doom descended upon the staff. Janet Greene struggles with a defiant typewriter to insert a triplicate layout A meeting of the “executive committee. 124 Sandy Babic and Margret George determine the location of a caption. Paula Candy relaxes for a min- ute while the editors search for something for her to do. An immense fog of relief enveloped the exhausted editors, after a marathon week in March. For three months they recuperated and began to prepare for their Final day of judge- ment. The dedication was made, and this year’s RECORD was distributed to the students. It is only at this time that the verdict is really reached — if the ef- fort put into it resulted in success. Sorting candids is a tedious task which requires all the patience of Margret George. With the aid of a class list and a telephone book, Linda Boucher and Mary Magnan make out patron sheets. Margaret Miller and Brian Ppwell discuss rough- draft copy. During an after-school meeting, Steve Smith, Sue Sykas, and Moira Brown help to address envelopes. Forming layouts from a group of photos is Brian Powell. Winter Carnival The MHS Student Council or- ganized our second annual winter carnival which took place during February vacation. The carnival consisted of snow sculptures, ath- letic competition, awards, a dance, and the crowning of a king and queen (those who had built up the most individual points). Whatever the philosophy behind it, it provid- ed a good time for those involved, and a means of expressing class ri- valry. The seniors even surprised themselves by winning. By putting on the Winter Carni- val, the Student Council played the altruistic game of Fill the Chil- ly Void Between The Second and Fourth Weeks In February. Lynne Allen scrapes away at the sen- iors’ sculpture’s base, while everyone else stands and freezes his feet off. The king and queen of the Winter Carnival: Russ Bork and Marilyn Rose.

We have dealt only with academics and school-related activities. But the school cannot exist without the sur- rounding city and towns, and it is here that we play the remainder of our games. These games are as varied as those who play them. All play the games of Homelife, such as Can I Have The Car, All My Friends Are Out Later Than That, Perhaps You Don’t Realize That I’m Years Old, and the ever popular. I'll Do It Tomorrow. All these have their parental co-games: Not Until You Shovel The Driveway (and or Do The Dishes), and When I Was Your Age . . . Another series of games involves social life. These include Drive By V. C, Hang Out In Pine’s, Populate The Comer of State and Main, Bomb Around Town. Earn Money For That. . . (with each player filling in the blank individually), and the vaguest game of all. Coolness. With all these games, and all the confusion and pressure of being a teenager, we cannot forget the one big game that all of us play at MHS. We call it Growing Up. The Masque sign, suspended over East State Street — a heart-warming sight to anyone who has served on the Masque publicity crew. The usually crowded corner of State and Main Streets.

Some for the better, some not, but it’s changing . . . You've Come a Long Way, Baby! 159 A Word . . Well, our game is ended. Even we had a game. 1969 has been reflected in the Record through the constant efforts of a few people who took the jobs of Chasing After Seniors, Harrassing People With Cameras, Hounding Students For Money, and Working All Night To Meet A Deadline. We had troubles at times getting our results — some of which do not exist because of disapproval or inability to produce them. We have asked you to play Introspection with us throughout this book. At times, it has been subtle, and at other moments, quite clear. For the first time, we are treating a yearbook as an examination, rather than a simple recollec- tion of things that have taken place If this Record is opened years from now, we want the reader to remember not only the events, but the reasons behind those events. That has been our game this year. We have all played Introspec- tion many times before and will again. Now the job is left up to you - the classes from 1970 to infinity. You have much to work for and the thousands of opportunities to act. We’re now going over the top. Remember that when it’s your turn, we will be with you. Both of us have enjoyed our game. Those who helped know who they are, and we thank them. This book is no longer a carbon copy on tissue paper — it’s a Record. We hope to have portrayed the school as we all see it; we wanted to tell it like it is. It’s getting better all the time I used to get mad at my school The teachers that taught me weren't cool. Your holding me down, turning me round Filling me up with your rules. I’ve got to admit it’s getting better A little better all the time. J. Lennon — P.
