Library lobby staircase Workroom doors People Give A School Its Personality This Is the Real Montpelier High School Montpelier High School Montpelier, Vermont AFTER MANY YEARS of service to the Montpelier School System, Mr. Alan Weiss has resigned his position as the Superin- tendent of the Montepelier Schools. Mr. Weiss has been responsible for many of the improvements in our schools, and he deserves the honor of being selected as the state’s Deputy Commissioner of Educa- tion. Although the entire city regrets losing Mr. Weiss, the citizens of Montpelier are none- theless glad that the entire educational system of Vermont will be able to benefit from Mr. Weiss’s fine administrative abili- ties. THANK YOU, MR. WEISS. WE WILL MISS YOU. Superintendent Alan H. Weiss The Montpelier High School “Record is symbolic of the four years of the class of '73. Individually and collectively, members of the class have established a standard which is enviable and one which will be difficult to emulate. The society in which you, the class of '73, lived from 1 969 through 1973 was often turbu- lent and crisis-filled. Yet you maintained your dignity and dedication. In doing so, you established a spirit which brought MHS to new heights in both academic and activity pro- grams. Congratulations to each of you for a job exceedingly well done. May your future be filled with continuing successes. To the underclassmen, you now have the challenge of both maintaining and exceeding the standards of excellence that the seniors have provided. Accept this challenge with pride and determination. Alan H. Weiss -Superintendent of Schools The moments of a class, the months of a school year, — all are like grains of sand slipping through the glass, — and then it is finished. A Senior year is complete and Graduation is at hand. These have been both good and full years. In part, you have helped to make them so. But life, the biggest and final examination of them all, now beckons you to its classroom — the world beyond. I have no misgivings as you embark upon your next venture. With your ability to seek for Truth, to persevere, and to achieve. Success will be upon your path. Treat her with respect and humility, and she will serve you well. And as you leave, remember that here, in your alma mater, you will always be welcome. Good Luck and God bless you. Bruce E. Stewart, Jr. Principal Administration The keystone of our American educational process is the high school, and the task of providing education for all the youth of a community is the prime responsibility of ever- yone. May the years ahead be happy and worth- while ones in every way. George E. Sulima Associate Principal At Montpelier High School, you have found opportunities to pursue different courses toward your life goal. We have tried to prepare you for many things. We have sought to convince you of the value of good study habits, that you may take full advan- tage of the opportunities offered by institu- tions of higher learning. We have endeav- ored to teach skills and careful workmanship, that you may meet the demanding require- ments of office, store, or trades employment. You may be justly proud that you have had such an excellent secondary education. I con- gratulate all of you upon your successful com- pletion of your four years of secondary- school work at Montpelier High School. Mrs. Moody — Guidance Office Secretory Mrs. Ayer — Guidance Office Staff and Guidance Department 14 Mr. Jacek — Guidance 1973 YEARBOOK DEDICATION A smile brightens upon the face of some Montpelier High School student as the lady seated at the office typewriter looks up and asks him cheerfully, May I help you with anything? Yes, you can, Mrs. Lillie . . . and you have. You have added an extra dimension to our education; one not found in a class room; an education in three P's : Procedure, Protocol, and People. These lessons will always be with us along with the many cherished memories you have helped to create. Our successors will sense the void created by your absense when you retire, but we all must move on. This is shown by our forthcoming graduation, too. And so, Angela Lillie, with your telephones, borrowed staplers, bus tickets, and unexpendable helping hand, we, the Class of 1973, dedicate to you our RECORD with much gratitude and sincere appreciation for what you have done for us. “A thought communicated — in word or deed — transcends time and eternity — in the hearts of all.” Lisa Blatchford, court member. UNDER A CANOPY OF BLUE HEAVEN the class of 1973 played the part of gracious hosts to the rest of the school. It seemed fan- tastic to all that the luminescent clouds and celestial globes over- heads had their beginning in earthly materials. This ethereal illusion was not created by chance. Setting forth their own version of the universe required hours of work and planning on the part of the prom committee. Their endeavors were rewarded with the satisfac- tion of having the “most beautiful prom at M.H.S. The gods them- selves could not have had a greater sense of achievement when they created the universe.

It's the High School’ Yes, it's high school: A time for fun and learning; but, most of all, it is a time for growing. On the first day of high school, all of that anx- ious anticipation which had accumulated during the summer becomes reality. The start of a new phase of school has begun. Hopefully, they will experience four happy years as a part of Mont- pelier High School.

The halls and lockers are plastered with signs announc- ing the upcoming game or match. The Pep Club is responsible for this mass propaganda campaign — designed to instill school spirit among all the students and faculty at MHS. The Club spends a great deal of time after school promoting sports at MHS by painting banners and posters; and then distributing these finished works of art throughout the halls. A few of the more talented members of the Pep Club have created some very original skits for the pep rallies, making these events actually enjoyable. The Pep Club members deserve much priase for the enthusiastic support they have given to their school.

We had lost sixteen sen- iors, that was a definite fact, but that was not enough to dampen the spirits of the team. What these outside observers did not take into account was that junior varsity members were to move up to fill in the spots left empty by last year's graduation. This combination was the winning one, and the Mighty Solons finished in a perfect 9-0 season. September 1 6 saw the opening of the regular season in a rather lopsided (28-6) victory over the Crimson Tide of Spaulding High. The impressive win set the squad rolling with their sights set on the State Championship. One week later, on September 23, the Solons easily defeated the Little Indians of Rice to the tune of 32 14. On September 29, Montpelier fans crowded the stands in the first night game under the lights on home soil. The multitude was overjoyed as the Solons tripped St. Johnsbury, winning in a 14-6 thriller. On October 7, the team traveled to Lyndon and proved that up-hill fields could not stop the green and white. Montpelier won that contest, 37-6. . .

The Bobwhites of Bellows Free Academy proved no match and the Homecoming winning tradition was kept with a 35-8 win that night. On the following Friday the Solons tamed the tigers of Middlebury with a rousing 32-14 victory. The big game was on October 27, when the Solons clinched the Northern League title in a heavy battle with the determined Seahorses of Burlington High. The Montpelier squad emerged as the victors in an exalted 38-8 win under the lights of the Burling- ton field. November 4 saw the close of the Solon's regular season in the traditional final game with Spaulding High School, this time on home ground. Despite the Tide's strange line-ups and new plays, the Solons won the muddy contest, 28-7. The following Saturday, November 11, the unbeaten forces of Uncle Burt traveled to Norwich's Sabine Field to face Rutland High for the State Championship . . .

FOOTBALL CHEERLEADERS From the sidelines of the football field it is easy to see that not every uniform in action is a football uniform. There are cheerleaders, too. Their smiles and peppy cheers are an important facet of every football game. They are the ones who engender the crowds excitement: converting their emo- tion into the cheers that give the team a morale boost. It is conceivable that many a close game's outcome has rested upon their spirit and support. And certainly no game would seem as exciting without a squad of energetic cheerleaders to lead the fans in all of the phooeys, yeas, and screams. Togetherness is necessary in any sport, and in football, the cheerleaders help develop this feeling. In spit of the cold day, Koren Volpi and Both Magnan manage to look cheerful. Mark Monaghan practices a pass. Also pictured are Bill Wells (66), and Mike Flan- ders (25). Tim Ayers is pursued down the field by a member of the opposing team. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL Although a 1-3-1 record was not what Coach Fred Kim- ble had hoped for, the 28-man Frosh Football team made much progress in the areas of football knowledge and skills during the course of the 1972 season. All of their games were close; the kind that could really have turned into victory for either team. But, the most impor- tant outcome of the season was that the team as a unit steadily improved throughout the Fall. This left Coach Kimble and his squad with a sense of optimism for next year.

J.V. FOOTBALL Sporting a superb 5-0 record, the Junior Varsity team proved itself to be a fine combination of offensive and defensive skill and dedication. They chalked up'102 points for themselves, and only once did this “Jr. Green Machine let a touchdown slip by their formida- ble defense. Again, under the leadership of Francis Brooks, the JV's earned a perfect record for them- selves. And how was this accomplished? The secret of their success: a willingness to cooperate and a heck of a lot of pride.

MHS TICKET SQUAD MHS VARSITY CLUB With the hope of procuring the use of the school gymnasium for themselves and the school's athletic clubs for after school hours, the Varsity Club deluged the citizens of Montpelier with a flood of green plastic calendars. They visited every neighborhood in the community, peddling their calendars. They did a fine job, too. The club outsold National Life this year in the area of calendar salesmanship! Besides knocking on doors, members of the Varsity Club sponsored some suc- cessful sock-hops after the Friday night home basketball games. They also made very handsome escorts at the basket- ball games. (Ushering men and women to their seats gave the boys a chance to show off their official Varsity Club blaz- ers.) Membership on the Varsity Club is a privilege,- and these boys certainly showed that they were worthy of belonging to the club by the hard work they did for the school's benefit. The Ticket Squad sells tickets at home basketball and foot- ball games. The students who work for this club are among the world’s foremost experts in base 10 mathematics. The Squad's chairmen and its advisor, Mr. Farnsworth, account for the ticket sales at the end of every game, and then make out deposit slips for the proceeds. It is interesting to note that this year, for the first time in Ticket Squad history, the ticket sales actually equalled the money taken in. THIS FALL, MHS WAS FORTUNATE enough to host the National Thea- ter Company, a 75-member theatri- cal group in its eighth year of stag- ing productions for educational institutions and theaters across the nation. This year, the VT Council of Teachers of English, whose Presi- dent is Mrs. Reed, sponsored the performances. The Montpelier per- formances were part of the five- day school tour by the National Theater Company and seven other area schools came to MHS to watch the performances. The first play presented by the Company was “Antigone, a Greek tragedy written by Sopho- cles in the 5th century B.C. In this tragedy, Antigone, the heroic daughter of the late King Oedipus of Thebes, insists upon giving her brother Polynices the last human right, the rite of burial. This is in direct violation of her Uncle Creon’s royal edict to leave the body of Polynices unburied. Anti- gone is found out and condemned to death. Corie meets her uninhibited neighbor, Mr. Velasco. Just put it over there, Corie directs the phone man. The second play was “Barefoot in the Park, a play written by Neil Simons. It is a comedy which depicts the problems of urban life. In the play, two newlyweds try to find happiness in an apartment at the top of six flights of stairs . . . despite a meddling mother-in-law and an eccentric neighbor. Creon and the messenger Antigone 37 Mark Spitz wins seven gold medals in swimming in the 1972 Olympics. The 1972 Olympics were disrupted and the entire world shocked when a group of Palestinian gorillas kidnapped and murdered 1 1 of the Israeli athletes in their rooms in the athletes' quarters in Munich. CROSS COUNTRY RUNNING is a sport in which the individual competes against himself in a test of physical endurance and stamina. Montpelier’s girl's X-country team, consisting of eight girls coached by Mr. Phillips, ran two or three miles daily on the football field or through Hubbard Park. In competition, the team concluded their season with a 3-2 record and they placed sixth out of a field of nineteen teams in the State Meet where Kelly McCann paced the Montpelier squad with a 10th place.

This year’s team was by far the largest squad in the school's history. With most of last year’s runners return- ing, the boy’s cross country team was nearly guaranteed a successful season. A wealth of Freshman runners also contrib- uted to the depth of the cross country from Mr. Phillips before the start of his race. team. The squad did extremely well this season, losing only to Burlington High School. The team also had the distinction of placing second in the VT State Relays, 4th in the New England Relays, and several individuals on the team went on to compete in Portland, Maine in the New England Open Championships. The gun goes off and the race begins. 41 1972-1973 Student Council STUDENT COUNCIL EXECUTIVE OFFICERS: Kathy Curtis, Jaye Mosher, Marian Anderson, Lea Student Council sponsored the Sno-Ball. Sikora. Student Council sponsored the Homocoming Bond. GRIPES, DEBTS, AND BAKE SALES were the major discussion topics of the 1972-1973 MHS Student Council. Student Council is the student leg- islature at Montpelier High School. It is often called one of the most pow- erful student councils in the state, and this year's Council lived up to their reputation, in spite of a slow start and tight money. Not only did the Council sponsor a beautiful winter Sno-Ball, but they were also responsi- ble for permanent changes in school policy. The proposal for two sepa- rate smoking lounges for student use. Student Council elections based on home rooms, two student phones, rules governing the use of the students' stereo-radio system were only a few of the items of business considered by the Student Council's representatives. Members of the Student Council realize the potential influence their organization could exert, but it urges schoolwide participation in the Council's activities as the key to this door.

First, there was “Hush Day.” MHS’s female population was not permitted to speak to the male contingent under the forfeit of losing their pink cards. What a day that turned out to be! By the end of the day, the title of “Mr. Irresistible was to be awarded to the male who collected the most pink cards. Junior Pat Clifford won this distinction, along with the status that went with it. The next event on the list was a game that was invented by Senior Mike Percy. It was called, “Find the Feather.” The object of the game was to find an elusive card- board feather which was hidden somewhere in the school building. Mike Tosi put together the clues which were given over the PA system and found the feather. A prize? You betl Two free tickets to the Homecoming Dance. Friday night the big weekend celebrations began officially with the annual parade. The high school’s dubs, classes, and organizations engaged in a friendly float competition. Most of the students’ spare time the previ- ous month had been spent on designing or stealing plans for Homecoming floats, and then constructing them according to these plans. However, the Latin Club’s “Super Chariot” emerged victorious, surviving the trek from Main Street to the Recreation Field, and won first prize. Directly following the parade was the Varsity football game under the new lights at the Rec’s football field. In spite of the freezing weather, a huge crowd attended the football game and cheered the future state champions on to a big victory. Once again on Saturday afternoon, the Students of MHS gathered at the football field, but this time the sexes were switched. It was Girl's Powder-Puff Football!! Supported by the Gorgeous Guys cheerleading squads, the junior and sophomore girls made it to the finals. In the final game, with colored flags, elbows, and pigtails flying, the sophomores emerged as the winners. Saturday night brought 1 972 Homecoming to a close with the Homecoming Dance. Black Horse supplied the music, and during a Beatle s medley, Donna Marineau was crowned Queen of Hush cards, floats, and foot- balls. LIBRARY STAFF Both teachers and students noticed that it took a little longer this year to check out a book. Many voiced complaints because the school library was often closed during the short lunch periods, a time dur- ing the school day when many students had their only free time. Many more people were annoyed because they could never seem to find the book they needed. Part of these prob- lems stemmed from the fact that the librarian was short of help this year. MHS is fortunate to have an excel- lent librarian like Mrs. Cas- sort. But one must remem- ber that a library is a big responsibility for any one person to handle and help is needed to control the flow of students in and out of the library. The library staff helps to lighten Mrs. Cassort's duties. Hopefully, more students will join the staff and enable MHS to fully use this valuable edu- cational resource. F.T.A. Members of the Future Teachers of America, along with their advisor Mr. Blakeman, explore the world of teaching as a pos- sible occupation in life. The club meets to hear speak- ers in the field of educa- tion, and the FTA members are given the opportunity to tutor children in the com- munity schools. 46 It in your duty to Mm c A report the nnlitian of n hook fore you chock it out You will he rJumjttd ■ 1.im.toed book� AFS CLUB, or the American Field Service, has a motto, “Walk together, talk together. This motto communicates their desire to promote world, national, and local friendship. In affiliation with the adult AFS members, MHS AFS’ers selected Miss Mary Horan to apply for the exchange trip abroad this summer. The AFS also held a flea market in the fall, and the club will host an International Dinner during the spring. Besides the exchange trip abroad, the Montpelier chapter of the AFS sponsored its third exchange trip within the United States. Members stayed in North Haven, Con- necticut during the month of March after having hosted the AFS members of North Haven in January. ART CLUB A small group of students at Montpelier High School have organized an Art Club for the purpose of increasing their appreciation of the world’s great painters, their master- pieces, and their style and technique. The Art Club's major project this year was supplying the high school with some of the fine examples of modern art from the Bundy Art Gallery in Waitsfield, Vermont. 47 PEOPLE ENJOY A GOOD LAUGH. This is probably one of the main reasons why comedy is the most popular form of drama in contemporary American theater. Comedy was the major ingredient of Masque's 1972 fall prod- uction, Father of the Bride. The play dealt with the generation gap and centered in on the normal hysteria revolving around one couple's prepara- tions for their perfect wedding. The production was a public success, much to the relief of the cast who had spent much time perfecting their acting. Interestingly enough, the play's opening performance was a rather impromptu affair, given before the entire high school on a stage at Montpe- lier City Hall. A bomb scare had forced the school administration to follow an emergency evacuation plan, by which MHS students were directed to walk to City Hall. The students were then instructed to remain at City Hall until further notice was given. To kill time, the cast of “Father of the Bride good-naturedly agreed to give a performance; minus the props and cos- tumes of a normal production. The entertainment occupied the assemblage until buses arrived to bring the students back to MHS. The performance was greatly appreciated and applauded by both the students and the teachers.

A big yellow bus rolls up to the main entrance of Montpelier High School, and Mr. McClure and his crew are off to another bowling practice at the Twin City Lanes.

Members of the bowling team have consistently per- formed well in interscholastic competition and have won many trophies.

However, the boys put together much more than most people could have hoped for when it all started. The regular season record was eighteen wins and only two losses, with the losses being to Winooski 48-50 and to Burlington High School 41-56. After the second loss, the team finished the season with twelve straight wins and a share of the Northern Interscholastic Athletic Conference Championship. As a result of their record, the Solons were seeded in the top spot in the Class L State Tourney. Getting a bye in the first round, the quarterfinals saw an exciting one point victory over South Burlington High School 58-57. Traveling to Patrick Gym at the University of Vermont, the season came to an end for the Solons as they lost an exciting semi- final game to the Burlington Seahorses 56-61. During the season, all the members of the squad contributed immeasurably to its success, however, a few standouts are worthy of mentioning. Big Tony Carparco led his team in rebounding, pulling down 233. He also led the Solons in field goal percentage with 140-280, a .500 average. Mike Bernardini was the leader in foul shooting with 50-72 for a .684 average. Rex Martin led in assists at 108. A team that stresses defense has many individuals who excel at it, however, this year Tim Dale was accorded the honor of being “the Best. ” The team chose Rex Martin as its Most Valuable Player. In summary, it was a good season for Montpelier High School. The goal of a State Championship was not attained, however, the boys ended the season with a tremendous record and in the tradition of past teams, they proved that hard work, sacrifice, and dedication do have its just rewards . . . both on and off the hardwood. 53 Milt Bernardini Tim Dale, Rex Mortin (Co-captains) Coach Drew 72 — SEASON S RECORD — 73 Solons Opponents 51 South Burlington 49 79 North Country 32 69 Essex Junction 48 64 B.F.A. 40 48 Winooski 50 69 St. Johnsbury 39 82 Champlain Valley 38 41 Burlington 56 59 Spaulding 45 68 Rice Memorial 45 50 Winooski 49 58 South Burlington 40 52 Burlington 44 68 North Country 41 56 St. Johnsbury 44 58 Champlain Valley 39 78 Rice Memorial 75 69 Essex Junction 37 47 Spaulding 44 51 B.F.A. 41 State Tournament Quarterfinals Solons 58 South Burlington 57 Semi-Finals Solons 55 Burlington 61 19 Wins Final Record 3 Losses Tony Caparco Mike Bernardini Tim Dole, Re Martin. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL With a lot of height and talent on their side, this year’s team showed itself to be one of excellent ability. With a fine record of seven wins and only five losses we can tell what Montpelier High Basketball is going to be like in future years. With the experience of Coach Simpson s practices and a grab at high school basketball, these guys will be able to put together a great 73-74 J.V. team.

MHS GIRL S BASKETBALL TEAM Although the Girl’s Basketball team was only two years old this year, the squad had hopes of entering Green Mountain League competition in order to play against some area teams. Unfortu- nately, membership was denied, and the girls were forced to curtail their roster to include only small schools. In spite of this disappointing decision, the girl's basketball team began their season with a great deal of enthusiasm and determina- tion. Every game the girls showed improvement in their playing skills. The greatest moments in their season came when they defeated Craftsbury and Rice Memorial High Schools. By the end of the season, the girls had gained enough confidence to look for- ward to next year's season with eagerness. Hopefully MHS will see their Girl's Basketball Team in regular Green Mountain competition next winter! 59 Amy Marineou Kathy Bowles Donna Marineau Sandy Houghton Paula Smyrski Lynn Fenno Cathy Curtis Brenda Mureta Terry McDermott SMILES AND SPLITS, JUMPS AND CARTWHEELS across the gym floor. It looks so easy and effortless. Spectators often forget the long hours of exercising and drilling that the cheerleaders spend prior to that first night when the girls finally don those green-and-white uniforms. Any one of them will tell you that it takes practice, practice, and more practice to become a good cheerleader. Varsity Twirlers Kneeling: Laurie Graves, Barb Bruzzesi, Jean Wilder. Standing: Patty Roberts, Sue Preble, Delina Pike, Diane Pinard, Cothi Cody. THE RHYTHMIC SOUND OF DRUMS is heard and the twirlers advance across the football field ... or the gym floor ... or down Main Street. Wherever they are, Montpelier High's twirlers entertain onlookers at home football and basketball games with skillful gyra- tions of their silver batons. Visitors have often remarked on the quality of the twirling exhibitions at half time, and we at MHS should take considerable pride in having two fine squads of twirlers.

THE MHS BAND has always been a popular attraction at basketball games. This year, the new band director, Mr. Davi- dian, has added a “newer sound to the band, much to the delight of all the stu- dents. The band now plays popular music by groups like CHICAGO, and thus provides excellent enter- tainment for the crowd at half time. Remember: It’s not the size of the band that counts, but how much noise it makes . . .

This year’s officers tried to change the Honor Society's “do-nothing” image by initiating some projects. The members of the National Honor Society began a tutoring program for Main Street School students and Union School stu- dents. They also served as hall monitors at the high school on parent-teacher’s conference night. These programs not only gave the Honor Society a reason for existing, but they also gave the Society members a sense of accomplishment by providing needed ser- vices. THE SECRETARIAL CLUB is primarily for senior secre- tarial students. It allows the girls who are planning for careers in secretarial work to become better acq- uainted with the business world. The club’s members raise funds throughout the year by holding bake sales and candy sales. This year, the Secretarial Club donated all of its proceeds to charity organizations. Members also meet with men and women from the bus- iness world during the year, as well as hold a dinner in the spring for Secretarial Club alumni. CHORUS IS DIRECTED by a new director, Mr. Boyer, and it is somewhat smaller this year than it has been in previous years. Size did not prove to be a handicap: the 72-73 Chorus accomplished a great deal. With the com- plete irradication of the Collegium Musicum, the Chorus is now the only vocal musical group at MHS. This year, they not only put on great Christmas and Scholarship Concerts, but they planned and executed an exchange con- cert. The chorus was also part of the Homecoming Game half-time, singing their version of the famous “Marne.” The Chorus of Montpelier High should continue to exist, as music is undeniably an essential part of every man’s life. i FRENCH CLUB Consisting of twenty-five members, the French Club has occupied itself with raising funds for its major project this year: a spring trip to Montreal. The club is supervised by Linda Baker and the club's members strive for a fuller under- standing of the French lan- guage, culture, and peo- ple. Also this year the French Club prepared an authentic French dinner in the fall to experience French cooking and food. JUNIOR MISS PAGEANT Montpelier's 1973 Junior Miss Pageant was held in the Smiley Auditorium on December 9, 1972. The thirteen contestants were required to meet with the contest's judges in a tea prior to the Pageant. The girls were evaluated on their poise, appearance, physical fitness, scholastic achievement, and talent. The Pageant's theme, “Sugar and Spice, was car- ried into the fitness routine, where the girls per- formed a routine to “The Candy Man.' The Congeniality Award went to Miss Vicki Demers, while the Scholastic Award was presented to Miss Donna Marineau. Reigning Junior Miss Jody Pratt gave flowers to the Second Runner-up Karen Pres- cott, to the First Runner-up Donna Marineau, and to the 1973 Junior Miss Janet Battey. Later, in the State pageant, Janet was the Second Runner-up. Barbie Bruzessi Marion Anderson, Karen Prescott, and Vicki Demers. Vicki Demers AS THERE WERE MANY CONFLICTS in scheduling the gym for various purposes, the annual Christmas Ball did not take place. As the semi-formal dance was a tra- dition that would have been sadly missed, the MHS Student Council took matters into their own hands, and came up with the idea of a Sno-Ball. The idea was received with great enthusiasm by the entire student body. Plans for the Winter Wonderland were soon drawn up, committees and com- mittee chairmen appointed, and the Sno- Ball preparations were underway. Head Chairman Karen Prescott supervised the preparations, and with the help of student volunteers, transformed the school gymna- ' sium into a realistic winter scene. Everyone looked forward to the night of January 5th with anticipation, most of all, those people who had put so much time and work into the Sno-Ball preparations. For it would be on the night of the dance that a final judgement would be made by the students attending the Sno-Ball. For they would voice their approval or disappointment of the final results. The important evening arrived, and the guests of the Council sponsored Sno-ball had an enjoyable time dancing to the music of the Stone Cross. The evening was highlighted by the announcement of the King and Queen of the 1973 Sno-Ball. Rex Martin and Lisa Augustoni were crowned as the royal couple, and they took a seat of honor in a “chairlift throne. Needless to say, the evening ended happily for all, and the 1973 Sno-Ball was called a great success — much to the great relief of all those who had helped to bring the Sno-Ball into existence.

MHS Varsity Hockey Team The Montpelier High School Hockey Team finished off its second year with a shot at the play-offs. They had not been favored by many area “hockey buffs ' but the team fought hard in the last four games of the sea- son, winning all four games to boost their final record to ten wins and nine losses. This gained them a berth in the playoffs; certainly this is quite a remarkable accomplishment for such a young team. In pre-season play, the Solons exploded into action and handed the heavily-favored Northfield squad a 5-4 loss. Unfortunately, this rousing victory fizzled out once the season began. First of all, CVU defeated the MHS Solons 4-1. The next game boosted the team's morale somewhat and brought back the Montpelier fans' confi- dence. The Reason? A 4-0 win over Hartford. However, any of the hope which was aroused by this strong showing was soon discouraged. The Solons lost their next two games against the League's two strongest hockey teams. First, Spaulding downed the Solons 7-1, and then BFA of St. Albans handed the Solons a 7-0 loss. 68 Hockey CHEERLEADERS Karen Rotello Ann Willard Annette Somerville Kim Powers Sheryl Bennett Martha Hicks This brought the Solons up to the Christ- mas season and the Holiday Tournaments. In the tournament, the Solon skaters chalked up a 1-5 loss to Northfield High School and a 5-1 victory over the Bishop Hendricken School of Rhode Island. The next regular season game was a spirit- booster. The hockey team rolled over Mt. Mansfield Union High in a 3-1 game. This ego trip was short lived, however, for the next game was against arch-rival Spauld- ing; and they handed the Solons a 3-8 loss. The Solons partly reinstated them- selves by defeating the Essex Hornets in a convincing 5-1 game, but then added four straight losses to their season record by being edged 2-1 by South Burlington, 5-4 by Lyndon; then crippled by Mississquoi 5- 1 and Burlington 7-1. The Solons rallied and a four game win- ning streak came their way, offsetting the four previous losses. First, the Mighty Green knocked off Winooski in an exciting 3-2 game. Northfield was the next to fall to the tune of 5-1. The Solons then handed Lyndon a 3-1 loss, and this put the boys in contention for a spot on the playoffs. The Solons defeated Rice Memorial soundly and were given a place on the playoff schedule. A great deal can be said about the MHS Hockey Team this year, but a special men- tion should be made of Coach Morrison's selflessness. He stepped in to fill the vacant coaching spot left by Mr. White in the middle of the season. This fine gesture was gratefully acknowledged by the hockey players and hockey fans alike, and it is hoped that Coach Morrison will con- tinue as the hockey team’s coach for the upcoming season in '74. 69 MODEL AIRPLANE AND ROCKETRY CLUB The Model Airplane and Rocketry Club was formed this October, enabling those with an interest in aeronautics to pursue their “spaced out” inclinations. Under the able tutorage of Mr. Robert Lenihan, teacher of the Aeronautics and Aerospace course, members of the club actually construct miniature model rockets. These rockets will be launched in the spring. In addition to this, model airplanes are built and flown in contests. In this way, the rocketry club members get to test their models out for speed and flight accuracy. From Left to Right: Mr. Leoihan, Mark MacLennon, Shane Roya, Larry Nelson, and Mike Percy display some of their model rockets. Debbie Cobb ponders her next move. John Stalling and Mark Hickory. CHESS CLUB Maybe there is another Bobby Fischer hidden somewhere in the midst of the twenty members of this year’s chess club . . . Even if there is not, the MHS Chess Club has done very well under the supervision of Mr. VanCott. This is encouraging for such a young club, and its members hope that this is a sign of what is to come in future years. 71 THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL was a little easier this time. Mustering up an air of easy nonchalance, the Sophomores swung open the doors of MHS’s front entrance and headed straight towards the auditorium, smiling with superior disdain at some Freshmen who were wandering aimlessly in the direc- tion of the library. They knew the ropes, having learned them the previous year. The halls and faces were familiar to them. The Sophomores greeted their acquaintances in the Junior and Senior Classes without the fear of being rebuked or ignored. Montpelier High School had already made an impression on them. Their weight would be felt a little more now, because they were one year older, and hopefully more mature. Immediately, the Sophomores were swept into the hub-bub of high school life.

That rider is no other than a member of the Montpelier High School's Boys’ Ski Team. Our guys built a good reputation for themselves among other Vermont schools this winter in ski competition. They placed high enough in the District Ski Meet to qualify for the State Championships, and even the Tri-State Invita- tional Ski Meet. No small part of the Ski team's successful performances can be credited to their coaches, Mr. Naess and Mr. Phillips. We are all hoping that next year’s team will go as far. GIRLS’ SKI TEAM Again, under the leadership of Coach Joy Stowell, the veteran members of the Girls' Ski Team proved themselves to be a more than competent crew. The girls did a fine job in their season meets. Also, this year, MHS’s “Super Skiers made it to the State Championship Meet, and that is certainly something to be proud about. Guess all those practices at the “Cut and runs to the Junction paid off. Gymnastic Team Front: Laurel Sykas, Roe Quero, Marie Gora, Marian Moore, Lindo LeBeau, Betsy Tormay.

GYMNASTICS TEAM Finally, a gymnastics team has been formed at MHS; giving all interested girls the opportu- nity to practice and learn the fundamentals of this strenuous sport. The Gymnastics Team meets with Mrs. Runyan twice a week in the gym for practice. Although there were only twelve members on the team, the girls had hoped to strengthen their abilities this winter to a competitive level. Even though this was not possible, the girls are confident that they have the talent and potential on which to build a good gymnastics team for upcoming seasons. 1973 WINTER CARNIVAL It is February once again and the “Winter Blahs have hit us all pretty hard. Then, everyone is saved by a long-awaited, full-week vacation AND the Annual Winter Carnival. This year’s Winter Carnival had no theme and, as a result, the snow sculptures were much more creative than they have been in previous years. The seniors won the snow sculpture competition, re-creating the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland most effectively. In the interclass intramural competition, the junior class soundly defeated the rest of the school. The sport events were more interesting and varied this year. New additions to the list of Winter Carnival sport events were boy’s thigh-pad; snow football, crab ball, and indoor soccer. The 1 973 Winter Carnival was, on the whole, a great success. The only disappoint- ment was that there was no dance to close the celebrations. Due to the severe pov- erty of nearly every club or organization in the high school, no band could be hired to play the weekend of the Winter Carnival. These unfortunate circumstances prevented a Queen or King of the Winter Carnival from being crowned. Instead, Brad DeForge and Diane Martin were named the “Most Active Winter Carnival Participants.” Still, the Winter Carnival was proclaimed to be a wonderful release from the school routine, and everyone had a good time. 83 Everyone loves a ham . . . IN THEIR ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE entertain- ment and enjoyment for the people of the community, the members of Montpelier High School’s dramatic club, the Masque, work for the betterment of themselves and for the people who watch their perform- ances. The final product of the large amount of work that is involved in each Masque production is a combination of the many varied individual talents, added to the willingness of all the Masque members to do their best. Their goal, to entertain and educate, has been achieved many times in the past; and no doubt, will be accomplished again in the years to come. Autograph seekers, perhaps?

MHS STAGE CREW This year the MHS Stage Crew had the largest membership ever in its brief existence. A total of thirteen freshmen and nine returning upperclassmen were on the Crew. In the fall, the new members attended training meetings for several weeks to become acquainted with the complex lighting and sound facilities of the auditorium. The returning members attended refresher courses before launching into a full schedule of productions. The Stage Crew was actively involved in a number of assembly programs, the Junior Miss Pageant, Philharmonic Concerts, Band and Chorus Concerts, plus two major productions of the Masque, as well as the Teacher’s Production. In addition to doing lighting and sound for these, the Crew operated P.A. facilities at all home football games and did the lighting effects, P.A., and TV coverage for all of the home basketball games. Technical additions this year included the completion of the sound system with the installation of complete microphone and mixing facilities. And, as always, the MHS Stage Crew is seldom seen, but always BUSY. OLIVER The curtain opens on a gloomy workhouse dining room. Twenty little boys enter, break into song praising food, and the Masque's spring musical begins. Including a cast of thousands, Oliver was one of the most successful efforts put out by the drama club, being sold out two of three nights. Directed by Mr. Pelkey and with a lot of greatly appreciated help from oth- ers, these guys put a lot of effort into the annual spring production and did a great job well worth the standing ovations they received. 87 Mr� .

SPANISH CLUB Some members of the Spanish Club toured Spain this past summer with the club’s advisor, Mr. Miana. This year, the Spanish Club decided to concentrate their efforts on charity projects. During December, the club's mem- bers made Christmas a bit happier for the needy families in the Montpe- lier area by making a generous con- tribution to the Argus Santa. They also provided the aged men and women at The Putnamsville Rest Home with much-appreciated gifts. In addition to these worthy projects, the Spanish Club sponsors a Spanish supper for all of its members in the spring, as well as an annual dinner in May for the departing seniors. SHOWING A LITTLE MORE ENTHUSIASM THIS YEAR, the Latin Club of Montpelier High School pulled itself together to form the most active language organization in the school. Not only did they win first prize for their Homecoming float “Super Chariot,’’ but these Roman subjects threw a superb Christmas party and a Roman Banquet. 98 MHS's INTERSTATE EXCHANGE provides its forty members with the opportunity to travel to other states and attend new schools for a week. In return, the club hosts those members of the school they have attended. In this way, students learn to view other communities in relation to their own. These exchange trips are made possible through various fund raising efforts. During the year, the officers of Interstate Exchange, along with their advi- sor, Miss Hesketh, organize raffles and food sales. This year, enough money was collected to host students from a school in Long Island, New York for the week of February vacation. The money will also enable MHS to travel to Long Island in April. Guests from Long island. An Interstate Exchange Club meeting. DEBATE CLUB Debating requires knowledge of oratory skill as well as confidence in one’s abilities as a speaker. The Debate Club, with their advisor, Mr. Bate, offers its members the opportunity to acquire the skills of debate and oration. Members participate in prac- tice meets and tournaments. Debating this year's national topic: “Should the govern- ment finance secondary and primary edu- cation?” the Debate Club has traveled to Dartmouth College, the University of Maine, and the Debate Forensics Tourna- ment at the University of Vermont. Partici- pants may enter such categories as poetry, prose, dramatic interpretation, or original oratory. THE JUNIORS PUSHED PAST the crowds of freshmen and sophomores that were congre- gated before the steps of the high school’s front entrance, full of anticipation for the upcoming year’s events: bake sales, dances, parties, week- ends of hacking around the metropolis of Mont- pelier, and the Junior Prom. And Chemistry . . . The Juniors were anxious to attempt improving the water guns that the Senior class had devel- oped the year before. Most of them could not wait to get back at that “crummy Senior” who had sprayed them with a stream of water while they had been getting books from their lockers. As they entered the auditorium on that first day of school, the realization of how fast the past two years had gone dawned upon them. Yet, already they had left a trail of accomplishments behind them. Many of the improvements that had been made in the high school were their doing. The Juniors had seen many of their class- mates elected to high positions in the student government, in activity clubs, and on athletic teams . . .

The lack of enthusiasm almost threatened to discontinue MHS’s yearbook, but a few dedicated students, who did not wish to see the yearbook tra- dition die, managed to put the 1973 Record together. The staff faced late deadlines, rushed lay-outs, a shortage of cropping pencils, “take my picture please, and Six hundred and fifty dol- lars! I can’t afford that!! Luckily, a close working relationship developed among the staff members, and everyone pitched in to help the Editor make some sense out of the jumbled pictures . . .

Deca, or the Distributive Educa- tion Clubs of America, is under the direction of Mr. Runyan. The MHS chapter of Deca is one of the most active clubs in the high school. This club’s entrepreneurs have sponsored numerous bake sales this year, and while the entire city of Montpelier was being flooded with Varsity Club calendars, Deca managed to create a huge market for their stationery. The proceeds from Deca's money-making projects will enable the club to send their officers to the NORCON convention in New Jersey. Not only did Deca raise money for themselves, but they per- formed services for the people of Montpelier. Programs were made and sold at the State Football Championship Game; and at Christmas time, Santa Claus visited the children of our city. Such initiative and action are the trademarks of Deca, an organization which is truly helping to build the community and business leaders of tomorrow. 110 Vermont surpasses New York state in 1973 maple syrup production to become the United States’ leading producer of maple syrup The Oakland Athletics win the 1972 World Series . . .

Looking back upon the years, I can see the respect and honor given to a Senior, and appreciate it that much more. Boy, how things have changed since I first walked into this building! As a Freshman enter- ing a world of strangers, I did not dare to even speak to anyone I did not know, for fear that that person was a “Mighty” Senior. Returning as a Sophomore, I was relieved and a bit proud because we were no longer the babies of the school. And yet, I still eyed the upperclassmen with some anxiety. Then, last year ... our Junior year . . . wow! I knew everyone. It was a happy feeling . . . and a great year, too. It seemed that by spring, we were in control of the school and its activities. The Sen- iors were wrapped up with thoughts of graduation and college. I suppose that the Junior Prom marked the beginning of our “reign. Now, we can form opinions of ourselves, and not worry about what others think of us. We have achieved our place in Montpelier High School. We no longer feel inhibited. There is nothing left here in the school to frighten or alarm us. We don’t have the time to reflect upon all of the sentimental joys of our high school years, though it is tempting to do so. We are looking ahead to the future . . . and to far better goals. Patty Boyd Class of '73 V Z Z A ft 0DlOc FOR FINE PHOTOGRAPHY PORTRAITS WEDDINGS BLACK AND WHITE COLOR I 'h VINE ST.

Each year, thanks to the Lodge of Elks and the Boosters Club, there’s a spring chicken and Mostiacoulli Feast. The food is great, it's a lot of fun and it's really a spring awards banquet. There's a couple of speeches, lots of laughs and more back- patting than ever. And those are the loves of teen-agers, food and praise. Mike Bernardini shows his great form. Thinking? For Ladies only For the past 2 years, the last few days of school have meant Mini- Courses, a break from the regu- lar routine, underclassmen get involved in intramurals, cooking, maybe thinking and of course, a heck of a lot of fun. A congratu- latory hand and a sincere thank you goes to our own faculty who organized the schedules and such. A shift from the tedium of classes, we all hope Mini-Courses will last forever. All dressed up and nowhere to go. Mini-Courses Betsy DiMaggio?? . . . Mr. Runyan changes magically into the Galloping Gourmet. Senior Class Pres. Rex Martin Supt. Allen H.
