Margie, Juan, Dick, Jane Ju Ann, Ba1'bzu'a, Tom R. Bob C. Mike, Larry, Nancy. Sally WITHIN THESE WALLS Within these walls we have spent four long years. We've had our ups and downs. our joys and sorrows, our victories and our defeats. Now that we are leaving, we would like to record our past. We started our freshman year with the grand total of fifty-four, losing only five from that class: Hilda Markins, Dale Helm, Stanley Morrical, Kenneth Perry. and Phillip Cald- well. Guiding our class was Norma Michael, with able assistance from Nancy Bales. The recorder and money-handler was Danny Morris, while the girls and boys took their troubles to Sally Cale and Bob Bales. On November 16 we gave our first high school convocation, a play, Steve Harding Wakes Up . On October 25 we enjoyed a Halloween party. Our sponsors were Miss Rea and Mr. Sutton. As we moved onward toward our destination, we entered the Sophomore Class with forty-eight members. This year we chose Bob Bales for president. Sally Cale for vice-president. Wally Hornbaker for secretary-treasurer, and Barbara Russell and Charles Daily as girl and boy advisers. Mrs. Nunn and Mr. Brinkerhoff were our sponsors. We gained one mem- ber, llilelvin Chandler, and lost two, Roger Zulich and Melvin Parker. This was also the year for our first magazine sale. Our Junior year!! By now we felt quite proud of ourselves. We were juniors of Mont- pelier High. Our thirty-nine members once again elected Bob Bales for the head guy. Lee Kellogg was close behind. with Barbara Russell, Joyce Cline, Charles Daily, and Darrell Terhune as our representatives. Nancy Bales and Wally Hornbaker served on the Student Affairs Committee. Danny Morris took care of the money. We had a nice little sum after completing the Junior magazine sale and, most of all, the Junior play, Grandad Steps Out , under the able direction of Miss Nelson. We were sorry to lose two of our members, Sonja Bradshaw and Sally Cook. One of the most outstanding events this year was the Junior-Senior Prom, under the clever guidance of Miss Cline. It was one of the most successful proms ever put on, if we dare say so. Our theme was a wishing well. A large wishing well was in the center of the floor and a small one was on each table. Our sponsors for this year were Miss Cline, Miss Nelson, and Mr. Forbes. September 1954. This year it seemed a little different as we went in to register. This was our last year at M. H. S. We were reminded throughout the whole year that this was the last time we would take part in all the activities and classes. Keeping this in mind, we planned for our Senior year to be the best ever. We chose as our colors lavendar and white, our class flower, pink carnation, and our motto: Up to the door. over the threshold, and into the world. Guiding our small but mighty class of thirty-seven was Miss Albertson, Miss VanHorn, and Mr. Wilson. Connie Royal had joined us from Hartford City. but Jane Lawrence, Barb- ara Prall, Esther Parker, and Tom Wilson withdrew, and Adolph Ramos moved to Hartford City, leaving us a graduating class of 32. Our Head Man was once again Bob Bales. Norma Michael was our vice-president, and Bob Caylor served as secretary-treasurer. Our Student Council members were Joyce Cline, Connie Royal, Darrell Terhune, and Charles Daily. Wally Hornbaker and Jane Waters served on the Student Affairs Committee. while Sally Cale and Lee Kelloggtook their position as Athletic Board members. This was our big year!! Annual skits were on November 2. Our Annual Benefit show, put on by Joe Bill Daily, was on October 29. On November 19 we gave our convocation. featuring the life of Mr. Forbes. It was a hilarious success. Miss Albertson directed this. Our Senior play, The Daffy Dills, under the direction of Miss VanHorn, was presented May 6. The Junior-Senior Prom was given for us this year. We just sat back and enjoyed it, but down deep we wished we could have been in on all the fun of planning it. Honor Day was May 16. Baccalaureate was held May 15, with Reverend R. B. Vorse of the Church of Christ as speaker. On May 17!!! The day we had all worked for, Commencement!!!! Reverend James DeWeerd delivered the address. On May 21 we attended the Alumni banquet and dance and felt important to be mem- bers of the Alumni Association. Now that we have completed these four years, we feel a little bit sorry that we can no longer be Within These Walls.

Our story begins with the fact that Grandad, ill a year ago, is still considered an invalid by his daughter, Mrs. Morton, who feeds him on nothing but soup and crackers, while he dreams of thick. juicy steaks. An old friend, Big Jim Mahoney returns from out in Ari- zona and plans to stage a supper for all his boyhood pals. Jim helps Grandad make plans to get out of the house without his daughters knowing. Unfortunately all his clothes are in storage, so they bribe the maid to sneak Kip's clothes out of his room. When Grandad appears in the boy's clothes, the two old men sneak out of the house with nobody the wiser. A nosey old maid across the street sees them and telephones Mrs. Morton, who scoifs at the idea, saying her father is asleep on the sofa, but it is really Tilly, the maid, who has been bribed by Grandad to cover up with a b'anket, who snores at intervals. Kip, who has a date, sets up a howl when he finds his suit missing. His older sister, Betty, and her boy friend discover that Grandad has disappeared. Assuming that a lourglar has stolen Kip's suit and kidnapped Grandad, they notify the police. In the meantime Tilly has slipped out. 5 While the detective and the family are out looking for Grandad, he slips into the house with a bandage about his head, lies down on the couch, and covers up. The officer comes in to search for the missing Grandad, who is now peacefully lying on the davenport where he, supposedly, had been all the time. The family come in just in time to hear a very pronounced snore from the couch. Mrs. Morton rushes to the couch and there, with very sleepy eyes and a sheepish look on his face is Grandad! s l Q Cast: Kasper Krog- gins, Max Hiserg Mrs. Kroggins, JoAnn Sut- tong Jean Kroggins. their dauprhter, Donna Burchardg Joe Brown, owner ot' Radio Sta- tion W T N T, J oh n Priceg Jerry Kennedy, advertising' manager of the Kropgyriiis liippered Kodfish IT o ni pan y, Fliarles liverhartg Til- ly, Milly, and Billy, a sister team at WTNT, Varol Clements, Betty Carnes, and Carol Reffg Dynamo Dave pro- duction manager at VVTNT, Holi Kyleg Mitzi, switchboard op- erator at WTNT, Iilda Mae Ferguson: Hob, engineer in charge of Clmtlml room, Holi Cay- lor 3 J.

Kasper Kroggins and Jerry Kennedy have decided to tell the world about Kroggzins Kippered Kodtish via radio. Joe Brown is putting on a test broadcast for them. If this test program is successful, the resulting contract will enable him to keep up the payments on the station. Otherwise, it will revert to Lysander Phipps, the former owner. Consternation reigns when it is revealed that Mitzi, the Mystery Soprano to be starred on the Kroggins Program, is none other than Mrs. Kro,Q'gins, who has considerably more ambition than talent. Jerry promises to keep her off the air. Aided by Binks, he devises a scheme whereby Mrs. Kroggins will be replaced on the program by the WTNT telephone operator, whose name is really Mitzi. Binks pushes Mrs. Kroggins into an elevator and stalls it. between floors until the program is over. In her place, Mitzi sings, but just as the pro- gram ends, Mrs. Kroggins rushes from her captivity into the studio. The second act reveals that Phipps, at a New Year's masquerade, appears to offer Joe a clear title to the broadcasting station in exchange for the contract to the singer he had heard on the Kroggins program. After he hears Mrs. Kroggins, whom he thought to be the myster- ious Mitzi, he realizes his blunder and destroys the contract. He the11 offers the real Mitzi the part in his musical revue, and she accepts. First row: Mr. Horn, Sally Cale, Donna Burchard. Nancyanna Groendyke. Bonnie Ramseyer.

'.T Xxx -xi' 'A' Y 51, ! Pelier's Wally Hornbaker: Rod -guard--Rod is a senior this year. Rod didn't get into all the games, but when he did, he made his presence known. Nobody on the team had more team spirit than Wally. He will be very hard to replace next year. Tom Rhea: Nig -guard-'Nig has been a big help to the team this year by his very aggressive play. Nig broke up a lot of ball games by his speed and bulldozing tactics. Being a senior, he will be greatly missed next year. Bob Bales: Boles -guard-Boles, a senior, is in his third year on the varsity. He has been one of our best scorers this year. Many a team fell to defeat with the help of his long one-hand shot. He will be greatly missed next season. Paul Ely: Paul -forward-Paul is a jun- ior this year and will be out for a starting position next year. Whenever Paul played, he showed great potentiality. Dannie Morris: Monk -center-This was Monk's first year on the varsity. He has started most of the games and has been ter- rific on defense as well as on offense. Monk also is a senior. His all-round play will be missed by everyone next year. Lee Kellogg: Wee Wee -forward - Kel- logg was one of the high scorers this year. He seemed to be the spark of the team. When- ever the Pacers started getting jittery, Kel- logg pulled the team together. They'll have a tough time filling that old No. 10 jersey next year. Due to a chipped bone in his ankle, Kellogg was unable to participate in the Sectional this year. Mr. Bradley: Coach -Tom has been with the Pacers for two years now, and has com- piled an allover won and lost record of 34-9, which is a very good record. The record this year was 17-3, excluding the Sectional. Brad- ley is moving on to Highland of Anderson next year, and will be missed by the whole student body, as well as by the team. We all wish Tom a lot of luck in his new position. CPicture on page 311. Pacers Clifford Rinker: Feet -center-Feet is in his tirst year on the varsity. He started out slow, but got better with every game. He played real ball against Hartford City. Cliff will be back next year, and H. C. may wish he weren't. Bob Kyle: Bob -guard-Bob has been in a lot of games this year, his second year on the team. Whenever Bob was called 011, he would always do his best. Bob is also a senior this year. Jack Cain: ''Rabbit -guard-Jack is the youngest member on the team, being only a sophomore. Jack played mostly second team ball this year, but in the varsity games he did get into, he showed that next year he'd be after a starting position. Herschel Needler: Hersch - forward- Needler is a junior this year. He has played in a lot of ballgames, and whenever he play- ed, the fans knew that they were seeing one of the best spot players 'Pelier has had in a long while. Jerry Robbins: Jake -guard - Jake is a junior and in his third year on the varsity. Jerry could always be counted on to give his all for 'Pelier High. Jerry will be back again next year to give the opposition plenty of trouble. John Price: John -forward - John is a junior in his second year on the varsity. Price was out of a few games at the first of the season because of a knee operation, but he came back and showed everyone he was really a varsity man. John will be back next year to aid the Blue and Gdd cause. Darrell Terhune: Darrell -Student Man- ager-Darrell has been with the team for four years now, and a few of the boys will probably be lost without him. But being a senior, Darrell has ambitions of going on to become a college and then a professional trainer. fPicture on page 315. 1 A . u . I Vqgrn -1 I mi V I' 75 K.

The Second Team had a very good record this year. Jack Cain and Bill Hales did most ol' the outside scoring, while Ely, Rinker, and Schwarzkopl' worked on the inside. All five of these boys play well toy.-:ether and should make good varsity men next year. Toward the end of the season, Fred Retf, Neil Marshall, and Tom Schwarz- kopf started making! their presence l'elt on the team. liy the end of the year, there were eight men, one just about as tough as the other.

Tl-IE: l955 I 0 tb? i r IIIIIEIIIIII i-5+--5' MONTPELIER HIGH SCHOOL Montp j-ilggll'-jk Ye Olde Clair of 1955 By the shores of old Lake Shafer, at the beach called Indiana, Near the town of Monticello, stands the Forbescs' Root Beer Parlor. In the not too distant future, many guests come to this parlorg Come to quaff the foaming liquid and to greet old friends and comrades. As Sir Richard A. Ely, the master painter, gazes up from the detour sign which he is painting, he sees the F-84 jet piloted by Major Wallace P. Hornbaker make an emergency landing on Mr. Dannie L. Morris' private air strip, carrying the precious cargo of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Winder fthe former Pa- tricia Krebsl and twins, Mr. and Mrs. Glendene Reff and family and Miss Marjorie Sprowl, owner of the Atomic Car Manufacturing Company. First out of the plane is Miss Martha Saxman, stewardess. They walk into the Parlor and what do they see? A teacher's convention consisting of Miss Jo Ann Sutton, psychologistg Miss Norma Michael, elementary teacherg Mr. James Schwarzkopf, agriculture teacherg and Miss Betty Ely, music teacher, being served by waitresses, Jean Comer and Sue Voght. In the midst of all this peace and quite, a commotion takes place in the bar room. It is caused by Admiral Michael J. Ball, Chief Petty Officer Robert A. Caylor, and Dr. Robert J. Kyle, who are complaining about the food. Chef Larry Schmidt rushes out of the kitchen to summon bouncers, James Baker and Charles Dailyg and the offenders are thrown out. As Internal Revenue man, Thomas Pugh, enters the parlor to check Mr. Forbes's books kept by Miss Joyce Cline, he overhears a conversation between Dr. and Mrs. Robert H. Risinger, fthe former Jane Ann Watersl and Dr. and Mrs. Thomas W. Rhea fthe former Sally Calel, in which the Rheas are telling of the remarkable care their twin daughters received from Nurse Nancy Jo Bales while they were in the hospital recovering from tonsilectomies. Meanwhile, at the outside pool, coaches Robert Bales and Lee Kellogg are supervising a swim- ming class consisting of the children of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hirons fthe former Connie Royalj, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Lawrence fthe former Barbara Russelll, Mr. and Mrs. Darrell Terhune, and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bennett fthe former Donna Garrisonj. On this pleasant root beer parlor, night descends in all its splendorg And the old friends wander homeward, thinking fondly of old school days.

SENIOR CLASS OF 1955 The Seniors of '55 now reminisce As we look to those we miss. Our class is going on, you say, But you'll remember us some day. You'll open your Annual, thumb it through, And you'll see those who have gone before you. Our teachers, too, will miss us all When we don't return this coming fall, They'll think of 'us although we're gone. Yes, class, your memory will linger on. Speaking of teachers who will miss us, too Which one of them do you think will miss you? Well, Bradley will miss the boys, of course, Like Kellogg, Kyle, Bales, and Morris: Don't feel bad, Hornbaker, Terhune, and Rhea, For maybe you'll see him again some day. Mr. Brinkerhoff will miss Baker, Daily, Reff, and Schmidt, too For who will he then have to cater to '? Miss Albertson will miss the seniors, at that, Like Nancy, Norma, Donna, and Pat. Mr. Forbes will miss lots of the seniors next year: Finding what Jo Ann and Martha have filed will be a career. He'll also miss Bob Cayl01', and his friend Mike Ball Then, on whom can he blame the writing on the wall. But, Seniors, if you haven't found your name here yet, Just keep on looking, it's here, you can bet. Mrs. Nunn will miss Jean Comer day by day, But if she doesn't, at least she Won't say. Miss Van Horn will miss Margie all the time, Who else would pay for a shirt a dime at a time: Out of the fryihg pan, into the fire Mr. Horn will miss these seniors from chorus and choir: Joyce, Barbara, Bob Risinger, and others, it's true, Oh, yes, other seniors, we're coming to you. Horn'll train new pianists, train more for the band. Jane Ann, Sue, Dick, and Betty are graduating, and they think it's grand The school kids will miss Sally and Connie in coming years, They'll have to find someone new to lead all the cheers. Jim S. and Tom Pugh are still left to do, But Sandy and Helen will be here to miss you. We'll miss this old school house, you can bet this is true, BUT SINCE WE ARE DEPARTING, WE'LL LEAVE IT TO YOU.
