MEMORIES ORLEANS HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR YEARBOOK 1951. Orleans, Vermont Class Song We have come to the end of our high school days, And from our dear friends we must part, But you, Orleans High, with your carefree days, We shall cherish within our hearts. You were mentor and friend and our guiding light; Much knowledge we’ve gained each year. One last song we’ll sing in your praise tonight; Your dear name we shall revere. But e’er we must turn toward life’s unknown way, We would bid you one last adieu. In our chosen work though hard be the way, We will strive to bring honor due. So onward, dear friends, for the road is ours; Success is to be our aim; And with God as our guide through each trying hour Our goals we shall all attain. 2 DEDICATION The Class of 1951 dedicates this yearbook to Mrs. Mary Beth Houghaboom whose patience and understanding has helped us through the two happiest years of our high school career. MARY BETH HOUGHABOOM CLASS COLORS--Maroon and White CLASS FLOWER--White Rose CLASS MOTTO “Knowledge comes, but Wisdom lingers.” 3 Principal's Message To the Members of the Graduating Class: Graduation from high school is one of the great milestones in human life. You as members of the Class of 1951 are to be congratu- lated on your accomplishments. As a group, you rank among the more promising of our classes in recent years, so we think we may look to you to continue your good work. During the past four years you have enjoyed a great many good times together and you have probably formed some friendships which will last throughout your lives. High school years are good years in life and are perhaps the most carefree years of all. Next year you'll either be going to work or away to school where you aren’t known and where no one will take the personal interest in you that parents and teachers have done thus far. Your own determination will be more important than it has been up to now. We all have confi- dence in you and believe you have the necessary intellectual equipment to go on successfully. Good luck to you.' Rolfe W. Schoppe. Sponsor’s Message To the Class of 1951: As you look toward your Graduation Day it is with mixed emo- tions --regret and anticipation. Regret for leaving school and friends: anticipation for what the future will bring you. Many are the duties and tasks which you, as students, face up- on your graduation. May you have the courage and stamina necessary to be able to bear them. Only one man in a million ever has an opportunity to achieve greatness by single deed. If we are ever to do anything great, it must be in constantly doing the little things to the best of our ability . Good luck to a wonderful class. 4 Mrs. Houghaboom.

Arithmetic was our greatest task But we all did master it at last. In this battle we took up health To add to our knowledge of wealth. We learned our multiplication table And showed everyone that we were able. This was the turning point of our fight. We struggled through with all our might. We were grown up, so we thought, But the sixth grade showed we were not. We ll remember this battle, I'm sure, For it was the last in this section And we had good times galore. This year we moved to a new ground; It was new and different all around. But after a few errors We soon overcame our terrors. We studied the history of our state And took a trip to our capitol. We thought we were very great As we finished in graded school. F reshman Sophomore Junior Senior 1947-1948 1948-1949 1949-1950 1950-1951 Mr. Barton This year many new people joined our fun; They swelled our ranks to forty-one. From Irasburg, Albany, Brownington, and Evansville they came-- With them we turned the Freshman Re- ception into a game. Mrs. Sandrim We turned the tables on the Freshies And took part in the One-Act Plays. We had some disappointments, but We had many happy days. Mrs. Houghaboom As our campaign drew to a close We made penguins, seals, and Eskimos To decorate the hall for our Prom. Although we enjoyed it we had to move on. Mrs. Houghaboom This is the end of a twelve-year long fight. With just this one backward glance At the comedy, tragedy, and romance We turn our backs on the past And turn our faces toward future light. This is the history of our class; Every event that came to pass During the years we were struggling With arithmetic, reading, and writing History, typing, trig., biology Shorthand, algebra, and sociology.

But as the days flew by we knew That friends like these were far and few. With Freshman Reception our Sophomore year, We had them laughing frm ear to ear. At Junior Prom we danced all night. At every ball game we hollered fight .’ There were three-act plays and concerts, too, And lots of fun for me and you. We put on assemblies and other shows; The fun we had -- just no one knows. Now as we leave you, Orleans High, And all those happy days gone by To go out to a world that’s new, You know we’ll always think of you. • By Jeannette Thereault. 22 X ( 1 .
