CLASS HISTORY Wo would like to have you aooompany us book through tho twelve short years to the bo- ginning of our happy flight as little boos, lotting various flowors symboli» our twolro years in sohool. We started on our flight under tho guid- ance of Kiss Dorothy Porter in tho Carnation (first grade). Although, there was a medium sised group of little bees that first year, only Horine Stone and Roger Montague, of the present senior olasa were there. Leering the Carnation, we noisily swarmed into the Violet (second grade), where we were under the expert guidanoe of Miss Geraldine Kimball, now M's . Cieohanowios. It was during this year that we gathered some of our know- ledge of mathematics. Onto the Jonquil, (third grade) with Miss Irene Butler, now Mrs. Eugene Dudley, as our deroted leader. We were glad to add Winston Dow,who stayed with us the rest of the journey and Bererly Dow, who left us again in the Sweet Pea year to return to Brownington to finish her elementary training How we busaed into the Sweet Pea (fourth grade) with Miss Thelma Stearns as our leader) we Just began to realise what sohool was really like. Continuing on through our journey, we alight on the Lily of the Valley (fifth grade) under the leadership of Miss Ila Marshall. It was during this year that we began to parti- cipate in dramatlos, by putting an short skits for the little swarms. We now enoounter the Aster, our final year in the elementary building. We began to know the meaning of homework, under the leadership of Mrs. Arlene Leslie. At this time we pre- sented a successful play whioh we enjoyed and had fun in giving. During this year Maurioe Blair joined our ranks. After six years we butted up Sohool Street to the Larkspur (seventh grade) spending a year under the guidanoe of Mrs. Evelyn Chadwick. We soon discovered that there was plenty ex- peoted of us in the High Sohool Building. One interesting projeot was the making of salt and flour maps of the Vermont oounties. How butting alcog into the Gladioli (eighth grade) we found our leader to be Mrs. Harriet Biokford. Patrioia Tinker from Irasburg joined our hive of little butters to continue on through the rest of the grueling years. Plying along we stopped off at the Pansy (freshman year). We swarmed down upon Mr. Roger Barton and Mrs. Maybe lie Conley, new Mrs. Peek, who were waiting to assist us through the Freebie year. Many new students Joined our bee oolonyt from Irasburg oaae Betsy Mes- sier, Marlene Buttell, Martha Poutre, from Albany eame Elaine lftlesj from Coventry oaae Marion Orne and Leon Vintonj from Brownington oaae the rest of the bees, Robert Kahlstroa, Harry Jensen, Louis Hull, Clyde Hull, Beverly Dow, Gaston Cholnlere, and Roger Aldrioh. Journeying on now to the Calendula (sopho-) more year) we admitted Rita Vinton from Ball- ston Spa, Hew York, to our oolony. We were under the guidiLhoe of Itr. Richard Cassidy who directed us in our first one aot play. We also ordered our olass rings the latter part of the year. Bussing along now to the Chrysanthemum (Junior year), the last of the bees joining our swarm' came from the Bay State . These were Ted Dugan from Marblehead, and Ifcurioe Dastous from Lowell. Under the able leader- ship of Mise Carolyn Phelps, now Mrs. Alfred Hurley, we won the three one-aot play competi- tion oup with our presentation of Buddy Buys An Orohid . During our stay here, we also re- member the long hours of toil in preparation for the Junior Prom whioh was a soolal success. We now arrive at the last stop-over of our lourney by alighting on the Rose (senior year) where we finally begin to appreolate the value of attending sohool. We were very fortunate to be under the expert guidanoe of Mrs. Greta England. We are happy to relate that Ted Dugan, an outstanding FPA member, won many local speaking oontests, making it possi- ble to compete in the Rational Contest in Kan- sas City, Missouri, where he won third plaoe. We were awarded the Dramatio Competition Cup again this year by presenting the one-aot play, The Prettiest Girl in Town . We also showed our decorative ability by plaoing first in the Christmas Window Contest, sppnsored by the Orleans Chamber of Commeroe. Early inAprll Martha Poutrewon first plaoe and Pauline But- ler seoond in an essay oontest sponsered by the Military Manpower Coned ttee at Hewport. Two of the bees left the hive this year beoause of illness. These were Louis Hull and Leon Vinton. At this writing, we are in hopes that they will be back with us for graduation. We have mentioned only a few of the many things that took plaoe during our twelve years' flight together. Therewere many parties, pio- nles, basketball and baseball games, that kept us ousting and humming. It hasn't been an entirely smooth flight, however, as we all have had difficulties, but surely this oolony of bees will KEEP SAILING, NEVER DRIFT, throughout life.
