The Commercial Club is a newly organized group. Any student taking two or more commercial subjects is invited to become a member. During the past year the club has prepared letters, addressed envelopes, and made programs for the Alumni As- sociation, Sub-Freshman Day, and Na- tional Education Week. Through the courtesy of Mr. Sulbor- ski, the group was conducted thru the Orleans Manufacturing Company. This trip proved very educational and gave each a better understanding of this local industry. We participated in two regional con- ferences held at Colebrook Academy and Canaan High School. We will also remember the good time at Nancy's sugaring-off party and the get-together at Pageant Park. STUDENT COUNCIL Officers of the Student Council were elected in October as follows: President, Jack Utton; Vice President, Ell wood Guyette; Secretary, Sandra Merchant, and Treasurer, Nancy White. All members are pictured at the left. In December, the members planned the Annual Christmas Party. It was held December 20, 1957, with activi- ties of local talent, tree, and Santa Claus. MAGAZINE DRIVE The 1957-1958 Magazine Drive started out very slowly, but gained momentum rapidly in its final stage. Total receipts were $1467.51--an all-time high record. The graduating class of 1958 played a major role in its success. Much credit goes to the general manager, Jack Utton; his assistant, Glenn Guyette; and faculty adviser, Mr. Barton. High salesmen were awarded prizes in the following order. Sandra White, Glenn Guyette, Ellwood Guy- ette, and Steven Alexander. 24

Glee Club Fifty students in Mr. Hayford's group met regularly fifth period each Wednesday. A Christmas Concert, a cantata-- petit Noel was presented at Orleans and Barton with music groups from each school participating. Those having solo parts were: B. Nor- ris, R. Robert, R.Emmerson, T. Deck- er, R.Sheltra, B.Stoddard, and E. Guy - ette. Several selections of the all-state music were used for the spring concert when we again combined with Barton. Those selected to represent OHS in the all-state music festival in Bur- lington were Beryl Norris, Joyce Jones, Bruce Stoddard, Richard Cook, and Rodney Sheltra. Science Club The 1957-58 school year was a successful one for the Science Club which reorganized after being inac- tive for two years. It has a member- ship of twenty-five students and has had an opportunity to hear many dis- tinguished guest speakers. Pictured at the right is William Sandrin, program director, explain- ing the operation of the osulloscope he made as part of his satellite track- ing project to Mr. Barton, supervisor; Gary Robinson, president; Sue Barton, secretary; and Glenn Guyette, vice president. Drivers Education A course in Drivers Education was introduced at OHS in 1956 for the follow- ing reasons: To give pupils an opportunity to learn from an approved source how to operate an automobile by textbook study and actual driving practice; to help to se- cure driving licenses under proper supervi- sion; and most important to decrease ac- cident toll. Nearly one hundred people have taken the course in the two years it has been of- fered. It is our aim to make the course available to every student. The car used in 1956-57 was furnished by Carroll Belanger and Carlton Bennett and the one this year by Harley Blake. The school is very grateful for the use of these cars. 1st row: Mr. Hayford, L.Metcalf, J.Cummings, P.Stoddard, J.Royer, I.Marcil, R.Emmerson, B.Pow- ers, R.Robert, Mrs. Hayford. 2nd row: E.Lawes, K.

Class Poem By June Hull Let's open the old year book It's long since we've had it out, Do you suppose you can remember The class that was such a rout? Coming to school in the morning Gloria was generally late, Wayne made it even if The night before he had a date. There's Beryl, we remember her singing And Jack, what a fellow to tease! Yvette so quiet, and how Eleanor Could pound those typewriter keys. Then there were two Bobbys-- One who knew Geography best, The other was most generally Fast asleep on the desk. Rosalie was the class beauty And quite a lot else, if you please, Larry was so quiet and studious While Bruce could dance like the breeze. Do you suppose that old study hall Was ever the same since we've gone, With Ronnie throwing erasers And Avis cheering him on? The games of baseball in the summer With Woody pitching on the mound, And in basketball season we hear Audrey cheering, Ronnie, get that rebound! Never could the teachers find Myra Who was generally located twelve miles away, We can still hear Pauline shouting, Wait, I want to go to Newport today! The dances, the hops, and the clubs Were surely a whole lot of fun, Sputnick has been invented, but Without Gary the Reds haven't won. In those days there were juvenile delinquents But they couldn’t have been any of ours, With Joyce and Theresa behaving And Nancy studying after hours. Rachel was liked by all classmates Full of fun, lots of pep! Rodney was the man of the year Rocking and rolling, let's get hep! Class meetings held on Thursday morn Not on one thing did we agree, Still in hopes of raising money With June and Gloria arguing constantly. There were two Cooks in the class Both were blond, Dick and Jean, And Lawrence our all A student Had a lot in his bean. But with all our faults and flaws We didn't make such a bad fall. For I've seen by the papers lately We haven't done so badly after all. SCENES FROM JUNIOR PROM 1957 Junior Prom Chaperones: Mr. Mrs. Hannah and Mr. Mrs. White. 25
