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.
