CLASS HISTORY + In the fall of 1951, twenty-one freshmen entered North Troy High School intending to struggle through four years. On the morning of September 5, I found the following seated when I entered the room: Jean Armstrong, Donna Parmenter, Bernice Berry, Lorraine Beaudry, Archie Cota, Donna Daniels, Lise Roberge, Yolande Roberts, Gloria Hart, Durward Starr, Ronald White, Colby Currier, Raymond Gendron, Donald Austin, Henry Pigeon, Laura Hamelin, Wilfred Pigeon, Robert Lepage. Robert Booth, Juliette Cadieux, and Maurice Farn- ham. Soon after school opened we held our flrst class meeting electing the following officers for our freshman year: President, Donna Parmenterg Vice President, Bernice Berry, Secretary, Lorraine Beaudry, Treasurer, Jean Armstrong. Mr. Lyon was class advisor. We were officially organized as the Freshman Class of North Troy High School at the Freshman Reception which was held September 28. We en- joyed the usual stunts and were considered good sports by all concerned. Our activities were limited to a few members taking part in the sophomore play and the regu- lar school activities. During the year, Robert Lepage, Robert Booth, Ronald White and Maurice Farnham left 'car class. September, 1952, found 18 sophomores. We elect- ed the following class officers: President, Durward Starr: Vice President, Raymond Gendrong Secre- tary, Lorraine Beaudryg Treasurer, Jean Arm- strong. Mr. Moskovitz was our class advisor. On October 3, we sponsored the Freshman Re- ception and Dance, which we had looked forward to during our Freshman y-ear. On January 30, we presented an original skit in assembly written by Durward Starr, Bernice Berry and Yolande Rob- erts. Our class also helped in making the Student Council carnival a success. During the year, Donna Daniels moved to Mas- sachusetts. It was not long before we were again entering school-this time as Juniors. Nineteen hundred + + and fifty-three opened with 20 members in our class, includ.ng two new arrivals, Richard Pope and Wendell George. The class officers for the year were: President, Richard Pope, Vice President, Durward Starr, Secretary, Lorraine Beaudryg Treasurer, Colby Currier. Mr. Titus was our class advisor. We started the year off well by winning first prize for our float, The Statue of Liberty, in the Missisquoi Fair. Our social functions for the year included a box party and a food sale, but the high spot of the sea- son was the Senior Reception on June 10. Opening day of school in the fall of 1954 was a big day. We were entering school as Seniors. We chose the following for our class officers: President, President, Raymond Gen- Fidlerg Treasurer, Yolande was our class advisor. Durward Starry Vice drong Secretary, June Roberts. Mr. Brennan Our class now consisted of only 15 members. I found that Gloria Hart, Richard Pope, Lise Roberge, Wilfred Pigeon and Wendell George had decided not to return with us. We tried very hard this year to set an example for leadership and good sportsmanship for the underclassmen. Our. first activity as seniors was to make a float we did not re- for the Missisquoi Fair. Although ceive a prize, we had a lot of fun. Other activities for the year included two dances, a play entitled, Too Sweet for Sixteen, and two food sales. During our four years, many of us took part in school activities, helped publish the school papers, served on committees of all kinds, and were always ready to assist at any function. We, the class of 1955, must confess that we will miss the good times which have been brought to us from North Troy High School and the wonder- ful guidance which has been given to us during our four years here.

It isn't very convenient for her. MR. HARMON: Knowing that the incoming senior class is more talkative than we were, we wantgyou to have this whistle.

LORRAINE BEAUDRY: We know how badly you want to go to Hartford, Conn., to work but you hate to leave a certain person in North Troy. We will help you by giving you this bus ticket which will allow you to come home every weekend for the next year. DURWARD STARR: We present you these box- ing gloves in hopes that they will come in handy if competition over Lorraine gets too rough in the future. COLBY CURRIER: To you, Colby, we give this bottle of wave lotion. When someone musses your beautiful wave, it won't be so hard to put it back ln place. HENRY PIGEON: Since you will graduate and won't be able to see Gall as formerly, we are giv- By Jean Armstrong, Juliette Cadieux, Henry Pigeon ing you this contract as janitor. You and Gail can be with each other most of the time now JUNE FIDLER: Because you have been here only three years and during that time have made a great catch-Raymond, we want to give you this book, How to Catch A Man. We hope you make as fast progress when you enter college.
