Orleans High School - Sword Yearbook (Orleans, VT)

Text from Pages 1 - 44 of the 1947 volume:

The Voices of ’47 We are leaving Orleans High School, But mem’ries will return Very often in the future, As worldly ways we learn. We will think of Freshman Reception And how we dreaded it so. But the next year we formed the concession It isn’t so bad, you know.” We’ll remember our Junior Prom, And our Graduation dear, And all our alma mater friends, In some distant future year. And we’ll remember all the teachings We received at O. H. S. And think of our teachers as truest friends When we have reached success. But we thank them now for guidance On the paths of truth and right And for their aid, oft’ needed Which made our class work light. Yes, we’ve got so many things from Orleans High, We never could give thanks enough So we’ll just sing our song and hurry along, After saying a sad good-bye.” Dedication iii«iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii®iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii We dedicate this book to Mr. Barton, who gave us our start in the happiest and best part of our lives—our high school career. ROGER BARTON CLASS COLORS—Blue and White CLASS FLOWER—White Carnation CLASS MOTTO Still achieving, still pursuing.” —Longfellow Page Three To the Class of 1947 You fellows in the class of ’47 are the first since the start of the war to be able to graduate from high school without having a job with Uncle Sam s armed forces awaiting you. You are in a position to exercise much more freedom of choice than have any of your immediate predecessors. Even so, the army or navy do offer wonderful opportunities well worth considering if other plans have not already been developed. Opportunities for girls have never been any better than they are at the present time. The country is begging for more teachers, nurses, stenographers and pro- fessional people. PRINCIPAL ROLPE W. SCHOPPE Now that all of vou are armed with high school diplomas, let's hope you’ll make the most of them. They will unlock many doors which would otherwise remain closed to you; but remember, too, that you must have the initiative and vision to make your education work for you. Once you have a job, qualities of character you mav possess will have as much to do about helping you to get ahead as your actual ability to do the work at hand. You are at the threshold of a wonderful future. For the faculty and myself. I wish you the very best of success. Sincerely yours, Rolfe W. Schoppe Page Four With Memories of the Class of 47 September ’45—A sea of wondering faces is before me.—Bernice becomes Bernie.—The Janets and Janettes get fixed in mind.—Black pearl instead of onyx.— The Perfect Gentleman’’ comes through even to spilling the olives.— Gus” builds another shelf in the Junior room.—We have a Queen of the Cheer- leaders” at Tournament.—The music members of the class march at Music Festi- val.—And then Let’s Dance at the Junior Prom.” ESTHER M. BALLARD September ’46—A new school year begins.—There is need of an extra seat in the Senior room.—Wayne and David are sweepin' and chalkin’ in Quiet Please.”—Stormy class meetings are held for Graduation plans.—Exams go in for some of the Seniors.—Here comes Rita as Charlie.”—And to come, Gradua- tion with all its glory! You’ve been an outstanding class in scholarship, talent, and personality. The best of luck to each one of you. With your class motto in mind, Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; STILL ACHIEVING, STILL PURSUING, Learn to labor and to wait.” Sincerely, Miss Ballard Page Five O. H. S.

However, she wasn’t very convincing and we all ex- pected her to come out near the top, for she has always struck out toward her goal. Janet has been voted the girl most likely to succeed and we want her to know that we’re right behind her every step of the way.

JEANNETTE GALLUP We think that Jeannette’s favorite pastime, Flitting about”, fits her to a “T”, for she is comparable to a gay little bird, flitting from person to person, spreading cheerfulness and good will.

Page Fourteen Class History The class of 1947 would like to take you back twelve years by a time machine to review the history of the present Senior Class. Under Miss Dorothy Porter we started our studies and we all worked together as congenial buddies. In the second grade, with Miss Alice Dwincll, our fears were started but all went well. Miss Irene Butler was teaching our third year but a wonderful start soon diminished our fear. Our fourth year was most difficult of any we’d begun, but under Miss Stearns we had plenty of fun. Our fifth grade holds memories of things everlasting, and we wish to pay tribute to Miss Marshall’s fine teaching. Our sixth grade was tough as any could be, for under Miss Shannon came our graded degree. Now, to sum these years up, we had plenty of fun. In our plays and operettas we had worked as one. We weren’t little angels as our teachers will agree, for every little while we were as mean as could be. Now on to the seventh grade in O. H. S., which we’d been informed would be our greatest test. We thought we were everything, and very smart, but Miss Lovell soon taught us we were only a part. Under the sponsorship of Miss Helen Reed, we entered class competition, and once took the lead. We left Junior High, which had been plenty of fun, proud of our record and all that we’d done. In study hall, which was to be our home room, we encouraged new friends who expected their doom. With Mr. Barton’s aid we pulled through again, and we started to think of being women and men. We began to be problems in the Sophomore class, because we were watching others and catching on fast. We stayed after school, which we didn’t like a bit— we weren’t quite as cute as we’d like to admit. Our next advance up the ladder of learning was the Junior Class, for which we’d been yearning. We put on the prom for the class of ’46, and began to forget about those cute little tricks. Our time machine is running out fast, with this year which has been our last. We wish to take time to give praise to our teachers, for our high school learning and its many fine features. Our review is now ending a wonderful twelve years. And our leaving will be accompanied by smiles and tears. Page Fifteen Day In—Day Out RITA BOULANGER—rushing around. JEANNETTE GALLUP—flitting about. LORRAINE CARL—laughing at her own corn.

Mason 85.87 Page Seventeen As We See Them Now we would like to take you to the year 1957, when we will meet this same class in their everyday life. First we see Janet Alexander. At present Janet has retired from the faculty of U. C. L. A. and is writing her first great literary work, a biography of Dear Coz,” who has been a great influence throughout her life. Irvin Bennett entered Syracuse University the fall after graduation. After returning and coaching the boys of O. H. S. for a couple of years, Irv” joined the Red Sox where he is now playing left outfielder. Rita Boulanger, voted the class’ best artist, did a few jobs of window decor- ating for Clayt’s and Tab’s,” which were seen by a Chicago store owner, vaca- tioning in Vermont. He hired the gifted artist immediately and at this time Rita is in charge of the big front window of Marshall Field’s in Chicago. Upon graduation, Bruce Bowman went through pharmacists’ school. Bruce has now opened his own drug store and is providing stiff competition for Austin’s Pharmacy. The fall after graduation from high school, Lorraine Carl entered U. V. M. She followed this up by teaching in Dallas, Texas. From last reports, Lorraine is realizing her secret ambition and has obtained her pilot’s license as well as her own plane. After working in Bray’s mill for two or three years, Richard Cloutier became the personnel manager there, because of his gifted ability to judge human beings. Beverly Cote took it easy for a while after high school because of ill health. After recovering considerably, Bev entered Sargent where she took physical education training and is now coaching the girls’ teams at O. H. S. We are really proud of David Dawson, for after graduation he entered U. V. M. in the College of Medicine. Dave finished his interneship two years ago and is now a brain specialist in New York City. Pauline Donaldson entered Lasell College after graduation. She is now married to her high school sweetheart and it is rumored that they expect to hear the patter of little feet before long. Of course Junior has to learn to walk first! We always thought Sally Eastman was an excellent horsewoman, but we really were surprised when she crashed the gate and became America’s first woman jockey. Sal rides her own horse and has been rather successful, much to the envy and disgust of the male jockeys. We expect by now that you have heard of the Emerson, Marsh, Perry Com- pany, Inc. After graduating from O. H. S., this trio, Wayne Emerson, Herbert Marsh and Larry Perry, went to Hollywood, seeking success. Under Wayne’s management and Herb’s lenses, Larry has become the idol of American teenagers and his picture is splashed across all the leading magazines as well as on the screen. At present, Larry is starring in the reproduction of Orchestra Wives,” taking the part formerly played by George Montgomery. We didn’t know Larry could play the trumpet, and in the Top-Hatters’ Orchestra,” too! Jeannette Gallup attended Lyndon Normal School after graduating from high school. At present she is teaching in an ultra-modern kindergarten in a swank part of Boston. After graduation Royce Glodgett and Arland Macie formed a partnership and bought John Keeler’s farm. They have now established a large milk route and are giving Neal Tarbox close competition. From all reports we have determined that Patrick Graham is in Hollywood. A lot of our class members seem to be ending up in California. But Pat is really original, for he is a stunt man. He does such things as get socked, ride wild horses, and jump of? clifFs. It’s a wonder he hasn’t broken his neck. Janice Gray went to Lasell with Pauli after graduation, to take a course in Page Eighteen merchandising. Jan is now the head buyer in the ladies’ department for Sears Roebuck in Boston. After working in the office at Bray’s mill for a while, Thelma decided to go into library work for her career. Thelma started at the bottom and has worked up to head librarian at the Billings Library in Burlington. Pearlene cooked hot lunches at O. H. S. for a year after high school and gained such fame for her culinary arts that she was wooed and wed by the head chef at the Waldorf-Astoria. At present Pearlene is the hostess in one of the more exclusive dining rooms there and is famous for her cakes, which she bakes as a hobby. After graduating, Beverly Herrick worked as a private secretary to Henry Ford, II for a couple of years. At this point, Bev retired from public life to marry her high school sweetheart and they are now the proud parents of four little boys! Hazel Kahlstrom had rather startling luck, for the summer after graduation an eminent historian, when visiting the Old Stone House” in Brownington, spied her and immediately swept her off her feet. Hazel is now living on Long Island and is assisting her husband in writing a history of Brownington. Because of his experience on the Press Club Staff at O. H. S., Bernie some- how got the idea that he would make a good newspaper reporter. Much to his disappointment, he discovered that he was better suited as a business manager and his present position is managing the New York Times. Fred Lambert had gained a lot of experience in his father’s line of business and when Mr. Lambert retired, Fred stepped into his shoes. They were the wrong size so Fred stepped one jump ahead and now has a nice, easy desk job in the Boston Railway Agency in the Hub-City.” Marjorie Lyon was offered a trip to New York as a graduation gift, and while there, was spotted by a talent scout who noticed her beautiful blond hair. Marge is now modeling for shampoo ads. Janette Mason married her Jimmy immediately after graduation and is now residing in Pennsylvania. From all reports, she is very happy. She and Jim plan to go to Bermuda for a vacation this summer. Soon after graduation, Janet Mason, better known as Red,” married Ralph and they immediately moved to Philadelphia where Red wrote, and published her first poem. She is well known now, all over the world. Immediately after graduation, Pauline Perkins went to Blush Hill, Waterbury, where she secured a job as secretary to one of the sponsors of W.D.E.V. Because her sponsor was attracted by her speaking voice, he gave Pauline a test, broad- casting household hints. However, Pauline didn’t remain long at this job, for one of the scouts representing Aunt Jemima’s Pancake Flour, noticed her excep- tionally fine voice and hired her. She is currently heard broadcasting commercials on their programs. Surprise of surprises, and who would have thunk” it! After taking training as a dentist’s assistant, Rebecca Racine worked for Dr. Fitch in Newport for a few years. However, now Becky has accepted a more enjoyable job, in which she spends her afternoons, from two to five, sleeping on Beautyrest” mattresses in Converse’s window. It is rumored that this advertising stunt has more than doubled Converse’s sales. After graduating, Milton Smith became famous for his patronage of Coco- Cola spots. In fact, he became so fanatical in his like for Coco-Cola that the company elected him to the fifth vice-presidency. Now Mickey can sit with his feet on his desk and guzzle Coco-Cola all day long, and is very happy. Mary Walker entered Becker College, in Worcester, after graduation where she studied music extensively. After college, Mary married her high school sweetheart and is now playing in the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

Let’s hope that the future teachers in our class never get pupils like these! A little girl whose fondness for movies and the personalities featured in them far surpassed her liking for school and textbooks, was selected by the teacher to answer the question: What is a comet?” Perturbed, the child hesitated. What is a star with a tail?” persisted the instructor. Why, Mickey Mouse!” exclaimed the pupil, brightening. Albert, aged eight, was assigned by his teacher to write a piece about his origin. He questioned his mother: Mom, where did Grandma come from?” The stork brought Grandma, Albert.” Well, where did you come from?” The stork brought me, too.” And me?” The stork brought you, too, Albert.” Resignedly the young modern began: There have been no natural births in our family for three generations.” Charles Kettering, inventor and engineer, is also quite a philosopher. Why,” a friend once inquired, do you talk so much about the future?” Because it’s of deepest interest to me,” Kettering replied. I’m going to spend the rest of my life there.” Page Twenty-six HERE’S HOPINT’—Stanton Mr. Barton on a recent journey fell into conversation with a nice old lady who shared his seat. Among the many things they discussed was the likelihood of another depression. I do hope there won’t be another,” the old lady remarked. The last one was terrible, and it came at such a bad time—when so many people were out of work.” A young couple went to the movies, but the theater was crowded and they had to settle for two single seats, far apart. The young lady, dissatisfied with the arrangement, thought the man next to her might be willing to change seats with her escort. Pardon me, but are you alone?” she whispered to him. There was no answer, so she tried again, and still a third time, without getting an answer. After the next try, he turned toward her slightly, keeping his eyes on the screen. For gosh sakes, cut it out!” he whispered savagely. My whole family’s here!” FOR THOSE HEADED FOR MATRIMONY Newlywed husband: Do you mean to say there’s only one course for dinner tonight? Just cheese?” Newlywed wife: Yes, dear. You see, when the chops caught fire and fell into the dessert, I had to use the soup to put out the fire.” Guy E.Longeway GILPIN, HUNT CO.
