Funeral services will be held on Sunday, June 20, at two o'clock. It was but three years ago last September that '54 was born, and during her first year there was little indication that she would ever depart from Orleans High School. It was not until her second year that she began to fall into those unfortunate habits that destined her for immediate death. First of the many evil habits she was to acquire, was that of a faulty diet. A reckless combination of hot dogs, banana splits, sour pickles, salted peanuts and chewing gum could not fail to have a disastrous effect on a stomach that was just barely out of the nursing bottle stage. That year, too,'54 began to taste the unhealthy joys of night life. Oh, it was innocent enough at first. Walks in the park and a movie now and then, but the seed was planted and '54 began to grow restless. By the third year a once healthy class was showing definite signs of an ap- proaching collapse. The walks and movies and dances and the nine o'clock cur- few was rapidly stretching out to 10 and 11. Dan Cupid started shooting his darts around indiscriminately with resultant sleepless nights and loss of appetite, and '54 began to get wrinkles around the eyes. By last September it was obvious to all that the poor old class was making her last stand. Her eyes were bright and feverish and her voice was pitched to an unnaturally high key. A few excerpts from our diary: Our Freshman year, under Mr. Barton as advisor, opened with Freshman Reception. It was during this year that w « originated the annual Christmas Ball. The other outstanding social event of 1951 vas the one-act play competition with the 7th and 8th grades won by our class. And we won’t forget the class picnic at the end of the year, will we, Mr. Barton? Miss Nault was our sponsor during our sophomore year. At Freshman Reception we returned the compliment to the incoming class. As the year pro- gressed we put on severa I dances and won the high school play contest with Who's Afraid? Most of our class joined the Science Club which was begun at this time. Under the guidance of Mrs. Houghaboom, we began our junior year. Again we participated in the one-act plays. We held several dances and a sugaring- off party. We completed the year with a successful J unior Prom based on a Coro- nation Theme. —12— At last we entered our Senior year with Mrs. White as our sponsor. Once more we took part in the usual social activities. Our final year of high school closed with graduation, which ends the highlights of the past four years.

There were nine: Marilyn Labor Marlene Lafoe, Rita Lunge, Alice Durivage, and Sally Ingalls. As many var- sity players returned, none of us were able to make the team, although some of us did play on the Junior Varsity against Morrisville. During the season of 51-'52, the Orleans lasses had a successful season as we came through with thirteen victories and three defeats, tying with Lyndonville for the Northeastern Vermont Championship. We lost two of the first six this year. The '52-'53 season displayed an effective year as ended the season with twelve victories and four defeats. This year our big rival of Lyndonville de- feated us twice to take the championship. At the beginning of the next season we had only three returns from the team. Beginningthe'53-'54 season, the first six were as follows: Center For- ward, Joan Michaud: Left Forward, Barbara Wells: Center Guard, Sondra Hussey: Right Guard, Betty Griggs: Left Guard and Captain, Marlene Lafoe. This season we were under the efficient coaching of Miss Williams who proved to be a great asset to the team. We came through with seven victories and six defeats. This year we took on Richford and Ludlow along with Newport, Lyndonville, Morrisville, Lyndon Teachers College, Derby, Barton, and the Alumni. We extend our thanks to the townspeople who attended both home and out of town games. We leave our best wishes to the future girl's teams and hope the Orleans Lassess enjoy successful seasons.

During the fall baseball season we were un-defeated and, during the basketball season, we lost only four games. The boys started practice early in November with one of the biggest turnouts of the past years under the expert coaching of Mr. Lamber. Our first game was with last years's state champs, St. Michaels of Montpelier. We lost this game 54-42. The starting five was as follows: Right guard--Russell Dewing, Left guard--Paul Montague, Ceiter--Naaman Green, Left forward--Larry Gallup, and Right forward--Pete Barton. But after this the same as last year, we began to click. We beat such teams as Newport, North Troy, Richford, Lyndon, Sacred Heart, Derby, and Bishops College of Canada. Then on February 3, we were beaten by W'illiamstown 48-49 byalast second shot by William stown's Don Frisbie. We then traveled to Ludlow, where we were beaten by a strong team 47-36. We then played in the Northeast Tournament at Newport where we defeated Brighton 45-31. Then we were defeated by Barton 69-64. We were p icked for a double playoff for the State Tournament. We played Mor- risville and defeated them 54-26. We then had to play Bradford and were beaten 49-48. Thus we had a season record of 18 wins and 4 losses. The baseball team was undefeated during the fall. They won games against Brighton, NorthTroy, Craftsbury, Newport Center, Barton and the powerful Derby team. Against Derby, Naaman Green, our pitcher, pitched a no-hit game. W e had a very successful season and we are looking forward to the spring. And also at this time we would like to express our thanks to Mr. Lambert for his time and effort during the past season.
