Montpelier High School - Record Yearbook (Montpelier, VT)

Text from Pages 1 - 176 of the 1976 volume:

1976 RECORD Montpelier High School Montpelier, Vermont TITLE PAGE 1 Walking down the long dark corridors I sense this feeling of coldness down my spine. The smell of the freshly painted rooms, the squeak of the newly polished floors. Everything looks so alone and deserted. Suddenly, lights flicker on, doors swing open, voices of laughter fill the once silent and desolate hallways. 2 The words of a dedication — what do they serve to do? They skim the surface of a person, pull out his good qualities, and print them on a page. They are a gift to that person from those who will always remember him. We could have picked out your good quali- ties and, as is the custom, put them down for you to see. But we feel that, just by dedicating this yearbook to you, we have already said that we admire you. We have already proven that we will remember you. Now there is just one thing left to say: Thank you for caring enough to try to understand us and for helping others to do the same.

In June of 1975, delegates from MHS par- ticipated in the Girls’ and Boys’ State pro- grams at Johnson State College and Norwich University. The week’s activities covered phases of government from city meetings to state elections. MHS and the class of '76 are proud of Tina Facos and Ken Dubay, who were both elected governors. Anne Book and Ken Dubay represented the State of Vermont during Girls’ and Boys’ Nation held later that summer in Washington, D.C. Senior Bryan Cooley was elected DAR good citizen, and at his side is Tina who was selected as one of two Vermonters to partici- pate in the William Randolph Hearst Senate Youth Program. 8 HONORS ► SENIORS Down does not Burst, it eases its way into our lives. Perhaps this was meant to be. Realization all at once would frighten us away. For this reason, slowly, we discover that we have reoched the goal. Sometimes we look down t to where we once were and sometimes we wish we were there again. But the sun becomes too bright for us to do that. t . Happily, we know that now the only thing worth • reaching for is the sky.

This year signifies two-hundred years of life for our country — two hundred years of freedom. The nation looks back at all that has gone by and celebrates its growth. We, the graduating class of 1976, are oblivious to it all. The past is irrelevant to us. This is the way a graduating class — any graduating class should feel. We look to the future and all that it holds. We see not how far America has come, but only how much farther we can make it go. BICENTENNIAL 29 June 1976 — The Bicentennial Class — Unique” would be the word for it as there never was nor will there ever again be a gradu- ating class in quite the same situation. Many words will be written many words will be spoken during the course of this year of national celebration — most of which will reflect things of the past. In your case the opposite is true. For the Class of ’76 this is the beginning. Your individual histories will be a part of the future. What a responsibility you have as you assume your role in the launching of this country toward its quadricentennial celebration — 2176 — Unique. Congratulations on your past endeavors and good luck for the future. Charles B. Johnson Superintendent I sincerely hope the past four years have kindled a spark within each and every one of you which will burn brighter and stronger as you go through life for continued learning and growth. As you leave Montpelier High School to venture forth into the worlds of higher education, technical careers or the job market, you should do so with a new self-awareness which illuminates a feeling of self- respect, self-confidence and respect for others which will enable all of you to succeed at some thing, no matter what. The biggest problem this great Nation of ours has today after inflation, irresponsible government, and a series of tragic wars, is growing conflict among our people. If we really care about people, and experience a new awareness of our country and its future, and about ourselves, this internal problem could be solved by all of us who call ourselves Americans by one simple personal pledge which would proclaim: To spare the world one more fool I dedi- cate my best effort to become a better American and a better per- son than I now pretend to be. Congratulations and good luck to all of you. George E. Sulima Assistant Principal This is your year — 1976; and it is our year — our 200th birth- day as a sovereign nation. How many growing pains we have ren- dered over the years past — you and our country. How many times we have been tempted to the easier road to achievement and fortune; and how many times we have followed conscience and advice and taken the true and proven pathways to success. Yes, there are countless ways we can draw parallels between you as members of the Class of 1 976, and our nation. But now, as then, a point of decision has been reached, a corner must be turned, a bridge to a future must be crossed. The sound of a bell is tolling. As with the great and symbolic bell of our land, the bell that sounds for you today continues to exhort you to proclaim Liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhab- itants thereof. How will you respond to the chiming you hear? How will you proclaim, foster and support liberty for all? How has the Age fated you, the Class of 1976, to go forth from this day with pride and resolve of person? Those of us who remain behind are confident and sure of your response. We both congratulate and welcome you into the com- plexities of our Life and world. Go forth today with our admiration, our best wishes and Godspeed. Bruce E.

Although the Varsity Football Team again this year was not a winning team, the togetherness, spirit, and devotion of all its members made for one of the best teams yBt. The devotion of Coaches Morrison and Simpson kept the team close even during the losing season. The team had the advantage of having two Norwich cadets, Steve Banks and Kurt Voland. The two student teachers helped the team considerably. The majority of the team were seniors who will be well missed, but the remaining juniors and sophomores, and the promising Junior Varsity Team give next session a promising outlook. 84 SPORTS MANAGERS BACK ROW: Jim Jarvis, Brian Rock, John Hannigan, Dana Hudson.

The season was high- lighted by the girls finishing as runner-up in the state meet. Led by Linda Kingsbury’s 9th place and Rose- mary Hull's 11th place finishes, the M.H.S. girls turned in their best performance. Mary Duprey's 12th place finish, Kellie McCann's 17th place, and Brenda Mail- man’s 19th place finished the Montpelier scoring. As with the boys’ team the fact that there was only one senior in the state meet points to the potential for a strong team next year. However, the loss of Stephanie Lewis, Kellie McCann, and Jayne Daniels, all who have run for four years, will leave a big gap in leadership and experience.

The JV's were the state champions. Peter Brigham repeated his state title and improved on his 1974 New England 7th place by placing 5th. Sophomore Doug Brigham climaxed a fine season with his 7th place finish in the state meet. Junior Tony Bates had a fine 1 3th place. Ron Kerin placed 21st and Dennis Scheele was 24th. For the fifth year in a row, Montpelier has sent a X-Country Team to the New England Championships. The season was not lim- ited to the success of a few. Every runner played an active part in the success of the team. SPORTS 91 VARQITY BASKETBALL TEAM BACK: J. Blow, B. MacDonald, G. Sobers, J. Sturtevant, J. Donnelly, M. McArdle, M. Lewis, M.

The 75-76 edition of the Solons Basketball Team completed another successful season with an overall 1 2 won and 9 lost record. If a word could be used to describe the players and what they accomplished it might be '‘overochieved. Not possessing too much natural talent and playing in a very difficult league comprised of very physical boll teams, they nevertheless gave a creditable account of themselves. Probably the teams' best games were the 2 wins over a good Essex club ond 2 losses to rival Spaulding. One of the more exciting games hod to have been the 70-64 loss to Windsor in the first round of the State ‘‘I Tourney. When one looks over the individual statistics for the team, it becomes evident that each member hod a hand in its success. John Donnelly led in field goals with a 44% and also hauled in 210 rebounds. George Sabens followed with 189. Bill Yocovoni had the highest free throw percentage with 78.8%, and handed out the most assists with 90 Mike Goodwin followed with 61. Team members voted on three categories. Most Valuable Player was given to Bill Yoca- voni, and they considered it a toss-up for best defense ball player with equal votes going to Mike Goodwin and Mark Lewis. Probably the most coveted award other than the M.V.P. is the permanent team captain selection given to the ball player who the team members feel gave the most throughout the season in the way of effort, unselfishness, ond team leadership. This year's award went to Les Wilder. It was a good season. The players gave much of themselves without complaint.

One would classify this year as certainly the surprise year for the junior Solons. Sporting no one over six feet, the team simp! y outran and outhustled the clubs they played. In the 5 losses they sustained, only the Burlington game showed a large margin, and that was only 1 3 points. The other four losses totaled only 8 points differential. In their wins there were some outstanding games. Wins over Rice (59-54), Bur- lington (67-52), South Burlington (59-42), and twice over Spaulding (50-49), and (52-39), highlighted their season. The characteristics that best describe the talents of this team were their pressure defense and fine outside shooting. Coach Drew RECORD M.H.S.

The girls showed tremendous improvement from the beginning of the season to the end. No matter what the score was, the girls never gave up. Many thanks to Coach Gibson for helping the team with its finest season yet. JUNIOR VARSITY The Girls' Junior Varsity Team showed strength and a lot of enthusiasm to establish a fine ten-ten record. The girls worked very hard and showed much promise for the future. SPORTS 97 VARSITY HOCKEY BACK: Coach Michoelson, P. Coates, B. Reinecke, M. Liberman, T. Sikora, S. White, B. Huntsman, K.

Peterson. The 1 975-1 976 hockey season, at times was hard work, learning and fun; was very challenging; was frustration person- ified . . . but in the end was a pleasant surprise. Composed of 3 seniors, 7 juniors, 4 sophomores and 7 freshmen, the team outplayed both their “expected” potential and opponents and posted a fine 15-4-1 record. In the beginning of the season, I stated “we had a green team with a couple of exciting players.” In the conclusion, '“the whole team was exciting.” The backbone and nucleus of this year’s squad was sophomore Dave Kingston, senior defenseman Bill Hunts- man, and junior center Scott White. Bill and Scott provided the offensive punch while Dave kept the team in many a fray with his outstanding net-minding skills. There were many significant games. To mention a few: the 4 to 3 overtime victory against Winooski, the 2 to 0 win over archrival Northfield, the state Playoff Tournament when the team soundly defeated Mt. Mansfield 6 to 2 in the Quarter Finals and Northfield 5 to 2 in the Semi-Finals. The first and second lines this season were outstanding considering their youth. They both provided excitement and good play around the net. The second line produced fewer goals, but their pride and challenge came in keeping their respective opponents' lines from scoring fewer goals than any of the other lines. A special thanks and recognition to all players, bench supporters, back-up players, cheerleaders and fans. Appreciation must go to those involved with the games. As of this writing, the team and I are getting a little excited about next year's hockey season. “We are looking to the future with hope and with no regrets in the past.” Coach Jim Michaelson 98 SPORTS HOCKEY CHEERLEADERQ Michele Gelineau, Susan Healy, Cheryl Bennett, Jane Donnelly, Karen Stocker, Beth Marinelli, Dale Solomon.

All members were worthy of much hard-earned credit and recogni- tion. With the hard work and effort that the boys put forth, they qualified for the State Championship Meet. The entire team effort, even of those that did not compete, made the team one of the most successful. Coach Naess and Coach Phillips, with the help of Jim Clemons, had a team to be proud of. 100 SPORTS GIRLS' SKI TEAM The Girls Ski Team again hit the slopes this season under the leadership of Coach Stowell. Even in the sub-zero weather, the spirits of the girls never died. Their will to work and try brought them much satisfaction. The team placed fifth in the Northern District Meet and went on to the State meet. A special reference should be made to the cross-country part of the team. These girls worked exceedingly hard all season, and, due to a snow storm, they could not make it to the State Meet. The entire team had a season they can be quite proud of. Even though their record was not all wins, the team had the most spirit of any around. BACK: S. Hudson, B. Moilman, B. Snow, P Carey, D. Comi, L. Shea. MIDOLE: S. Huntsmen, A. Cummings, K. Allard, M.
