To Live Being a child in a community like Montpelier meant many things. It meant walking in the street to get around tour- ists who gazed in awe at the golden dome when the golden arches were more likely to be on one s mind. It meant getting to the Farmers' Market to eat the best ap- ples around or to choose that huge pumpkin that would soon be a scary jack-o-lantem. It meant watching the community turn out for a cross country race. It meant getting on Dad's shoulders to see the Fourth of July parade because the whole town had turned out to watch. It meant spending all summer at the rec pool striving to be promoted from strug- gling tadpoles to superb swimmers. Runners race through the outskirts of Montpelier The tourists descend on Montpelier from May through October A modem Adam and Eve search for the right apple. 4

To Learn Getting older opened new doors. MEEP brought welcome relief from the more rigorous academics at Main Street. Whether playing or watching, we found Legion ball at the rec field, under the lights, captiuating. Occasional trips from Main Street School to see high school musical and dramatic productions shar- pened our anticipation of future high school days. In admiration and awe, we watched the big kids' athletic contests. We clapped as loudly as anyone at their graduation. Finally it was our turn. We entered high school and were swept up by the transformation of children into young adults. Study halls took up any free time during school. Teachers wanted reports, and that meant lots of time in the library, testing to see how much Mrs. Cassort would let us get away with before kicking us out. Playing a sport meant a real com- mitment, with practices every day and a huge list of training rules. Of course we wanted to be a part of every activity — Student Council, Masque, Latin Club and all the others !U.S History, Communica- tions I, and PE and Health separated us from the upperclassmen, who made sure we fully understood that separation dur- ingjreshmen initiation. Playing was out; learning was in. 6
