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

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

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
