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

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.

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.
