CLASS HISTORY Thirteen freshmen entered Plainfield High School in the fall of 1955. Their names were Gloria Maxfield, Myron Thurber, Duane Wheeler, Howard Gagne, Carol Sinclair, Reggie Holt, Monroe Chapin, Shirley Fowler, Lucille Bailey, Douglas Hudson, Graydon Neill, Donna Gibbs, and Brenda Orr. Carlton Tenney joined us later in the year. We elected Douglas as our President, Lucille as our Vice President, Shirley as our Treasurer, and Graydon as our Secretary. This year we had three new teachers. Mr. Irwin came as our Principal, Miss Elrick as our English teacher, and Mr. Bishop as our Science and Math teacher. Shirley, Douglas and Howard went out for basketball, and Gloria became a cheerleader. Most of the class joined the chorus, and Gloria, Shirley, Douglas, and Howard were in District Band. We selected 'Tom Sawyer's Morning as our play for the one-act play con- test. Mrs. York, our class advisor, directed it. Myron starred as Huck, and did a very good job, but it must have been too much for him, since we haven't been able to get him to be in another play. ln July, Mr. Brooks took the combined band of Plainfield, Marshfield and Cabot to Plainfield, New Jersey. This was the celebration to honor the Ver- monter, Julian Scott, who had received the Congressional Medal of Honor for a service in the Civil War. sophomores who went were Gloria, Shirley, Doug and Howard. At the beginning of our Sophomore year, we found that we had lost Monroe and that Lucille had been classed as a Iunior. Later Brenda and Carlton also left us. Rita Kennet joined us, however, during the school year. Our class offi- cers were, President - Graydon, Vice President - Howard, Secretary - Gloria, Treasurer - Shirley, and Student Council Representative - Doug. Mrs. York. was again our class advisor. ' This year Mr. Anger, our World History and 8th grade teacher, and also our coach, left us. Miss Elrick also left us. Mr. Blanchard took Mr. Anger's place and Mrs. Yahkub took Miss Elrick's place. We had a wonderful time initiating the Freshmen, which brought back mem- ories of our own initiation. Again most of us were in Chorus, and band. Shirley, Doug, Graydon, and Howard went out for basketball, and Gloria started her second year of cheering. We enjoyed putting on Twelve O'Clock Murder, with most of the class participating, and Mrs. York doing a fine job of directing us again. We entered our Junior year with only nine students. Reggie and Howard had moved, but Billy Baumann joined us from Montpelier. We elected Gloria as our President, Douglas as our Vice President, Rita as our Secretary, Graydon our Treasurer, and Shirley as Student Council Representative. Since Mr. Blanchard did not return this year, Mr. Colby came to Plainfield to take his place. We had another new teacher, Mr. Burbank, who took Mr. Bishop's place. Mr. Brooks also left us and Mr. Gader became our music super- visor. Shirley, Billy, Graydon, and Doug went out for basketball and Gloria and Rita cheered. Most of us were again in chorus and band. Shirley, Gloria, Doug and Graydon went to All-State also.
