PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS Faculty, Relatives, and Friends, on behalf of theggadu- ating class of 1945 of Proctor High School, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you here today. I hope you will enjoy listening to how our fine class has progressed since the fatal year of 1951, when we first started down the road to success. We are glad that so few of us have fallen by the wayside, that a goodly number of us remains to reach out for that much-prized diploma, which marks the end of our high school days. Although the members of the class of '45 will soon be scattered far and wide, there will be no-sepa- ration in our love for Proctor High School and our apprecia- tiOn of teachers, parents, and friends, who have made our opportunities in education possible. We pass out into a world of strife and turmoil. It will become our duty to fight for our freedom and to make this a better world in which to live. The struggle may be long and difficult; however, let us remember the words of our class motto, lhe Impossible Takes But a Little Longer. CLASS POEM As the pines cast their shadowa dark, Presaging coming night, While, Proctor High, we gather here, Beneath your cupola white; Our thoughts go back o'er four short years, We've spent within your sight. Our teachers here have taught us What we might expect of life, That every rose must have its thorn, And that success crowns strife; The world is what we make it, And trouble now is rife. And now our days with you are o'er; Relentlessly time flies, When coming months stretch into years, We'll come to realize E'en though your classes come and go, Your spirit never dies. Elaine Gilmore CLASS SONG Tune--The Marines Hymn There were thirty happy Freshmen In the year of '59. Who started out to-gether, The road of knowledge to climb. The years have passed too quickly, In study and in play, And now we stand on the threshold Of our graduation day. We will always pledge our loyalty To grand old P. H. 8., Her praises now we loudly sing, For we have passed the test. A fond farewell dear Proctor High As we go on our way, To help our country win the fight For Freedom's Victory Day. Faith Broadwell Dale Higbee CLASS COLORS: Blue and Gold CLASS MOTTO: The impOSsible takes but a little longer. CLASS FLOWER: Yellow Rose CLASS HISTORY F K E S H MA N The year of 1939 was the beginning of our high school career. It will be remembered by the Senior Class as the Freshman year, when World War II was on the verge of t history making. Upon entering the Freshman class we noticed a few new faces on the faculty. Miss Hemenway replaced Miss Tilton in Physical Education; Miss Yuill took the place of Miss White. Miss McCormick was in Miss Coleis position, and Mr. Bridge carried on with Mr. Anaerson's work. Mr.. Wolcott took Miss Hubbard's position in Junior High School. The Freshman Reception , an event to which we had looked forward for years, finally occurred. Two weeks after our entrance into High School, along with the new members of the faculty, we were initiated by the Senior Class. The girls wore the usual green bands to signify them as Freshies , while the boys wore a green band around their necks. In the cvening the girls wore boys' trousers inside out, boys' shirts, the new Upsweep hair-do, and two different types of shoes and socks. The boys wore girls' skirts and blouses, along with high heeled shoes, and bows in their hair. Some of our classmates left us before entering high school, among them were Mary and Helen Hleba. After a few w6eks of Freshie mistakes and wanderings in a fog , we became acclimated to our new environment and settled down to work. SOP HOMOKE In the fall of 1940 the class of 43 again resumed their studies under the able direction of several new teachers. Among them we find Miss Renehan, who vowed she would put Proctor on the map musically. The French Department started their parlez-vous fran- caise under the direction of Miss Stevens. Mr. Birt, you will remember, stepped in to take the position of coach and physical education teacher. Miss Hubbard came back looking very educated with her 8.8. of E. degree to take over the position of History teacher. Mr. Stefard came to fill the positiSn of Manual Train- ing teacher. Every class put on some sort of entertainment during the year. Not to be left out of any fun, the class decided to sponsor the Sophomore Hop. We made money, only to have it lost on the Junior Prom. We were saddened by the departure of Mary Rita McLaugh- lin, Dorothea Ward, who moved to Windsor and Middlebury respectively, and Charles Penzenick, who joined the Army. JUNJOK In the fall of 1941, the Juniors reached the third story of their house of knowledge. As we went to our various classes, we sew a few unfamil- iar faces mixed among the teachers of Proctor High. Miss Gould took over the Home Economics Department, Miss Carlysle the Girls' Physical Education and Miss Mccammon taught English in the Junior High School. When once settled, we elected our class officers. John Ravellini was chosen as class president, Richard Allard, vice-president, while Mary Ostrowski assumed the clerical duties of the class. While our bumps of knowledge swelled and grew and as yet didn't carry all that they could, our treacherous oriental friends broke the flimsy bonds that held our country and theirs together. We were shocked, for this would directly affect us. For our boys and country, we studied harder. It was at this time that Mr. Joy was taken 111. This lengthened our Christmas vacation to two full weeks. When mid-years rolled around, we had lost one class member. George Luckaehina was taken ill and could not con- tinue with us. After getting back into the old grind again; three more classmates left us. Mary Bresnehan and Robert Chamberland continued their studies at Mount Saint Joseph's Academy. Elbert Doan accepted a position in a defense plant. As the assignments grow harder and Spring lurked around the corner, we began to plah the annual Juhior Prom. It was not much of a success financially but socially we certainly had a good time. When spring finally arrived, our activities became more and more numerous. Many of us participated in the Music Festival at Burlington. We also played host to the students of Brandon and Pittsford High Schools when the Tri-Town Music Festival was held here. Every year, two Junior boys are chosen to go to Boys' State. This year John Ravcllini and Marcel Wallett represent- ed the class. Joyce Walsh was chosen to attend Girls' State. About two weeks before the end of school we all began'h: worry about final examinations. To our surprise, there were no finals held. We were all in high spirits on that last sunny day in June, for as the report cards were handed out for the last time that year, we all learned that we had completed our third year successfully and were now Seniors. September, 1942, finds us trying to fit into the shoes of Seniors who had gone before us. Many familiar faces were seen on the faculty, but among them are some whom we had not met before. In the Physical Education Department we find Mr. Adams replacing Coach Birt, and Miss Wing following in Miss Carlisle's footsteps. Mr. Rising has taken OVer Miss Mccammon's vduties 1n the Junior High English Department, and Mr. McCarthy thus replaced Mr. Wolcott 1n the Social Studies Classes in Junior High. Miss Renehan has left us, and we find Miss Fairley in the Music Department. We find that cupid hasn't been idle, and is the cause of our losing Miss McCormick. Mrs. Edwin Johnson very capably resumes her duties once more in the Cemmercial Department. Many alumni remember the days when Mrs. Johnsqn taught commercial sub7 jects before her marriage, under the name of Miss Colson. Again we are glad to see Mr. Call handling his classes very well-twith the help of his cardst. Miss Stevens resumes her work in the Language Department; Miss Gould returns to con- duct Home Economics-classes. Mr. Steward continues his work in the Manual Training Department, and Mr. Walsh and Miss Hackett again take over their respective classes. Miss Johnson still writes the excuses which admit us to our classes. During the summer we lost one of our dearest classmates, Richard Erickson. Dick , as he was knOWn among us, was well liked by all the students and members of the faculty. All who knew him felt his absence deeply. Soon we decided that it was high time we gave the green Freshmen a proper initiation, so we held the Freshmen Recep- tion late in September. As usual, evaryone certainly enjoyed the program, as well as the refreshments consisting of ice cream and cookies. At the first class meeting the class officers were chosen. Marcel Wallet was elected president; Richard Allard, vice-president; Sabina Yakubec, secretary; and Elaine Gilmore, treasurer. Mr. Walsh was again chosen Class Sponson The Senior play, Early to Bed, Early to Rise , proved a success. Helga Oscarson, Helen Nelson, Marcel Wallet, Max Eatoh, Faith Broadwell, Leo O'Connor, Elaine Gilmore, Rita McGarry, Richard Young, Joyce Walsh, and John Ravellini were members of the cast. Mr. McCarthy leaves his position to join the armed forces, and Mrs. Walsh takes over. Shortly after, Mr. Steward accepts a position at the Speery Gyroscope, Long Island, New Ybrk. Mr. Belcher replaces him in the Manual Training class, aha Mr. McGregor conducts classes in the Shop course. Frances Monahan leaves us to accept a Civil Service position in Washington. Carol Fortier has moved to Spring- field where she is attending Springfield High School. As the half year drew to a close, we find another of our classmates leaving us. This time it's Gordon Anderson leaving for the Army. We were proud to learn that Rita McGarry was chosen D.A.R. girl of our class. She has been active in many schxa activities. 2 Also at the half-way mark Miss Wing resigned from her duties as Physical Education Instructor, and is replaced by Miss Macdonald. Returning from our March vacation, we find that we must call Miss Stevens by her newly-acquired name, Mrs. Farman. Most of us find it rather difficult to get into the habit of addressing her as Mrs. Farman, end she is still Miss Stevens to the majority of the students. An event which is very popular during the senior year is the basketball .geme between the boys and girls. Julius Zapponi won the prize for his costume. The girls were rather disappointed when the final whistle blew, and they learned that the score was 52-22 in favor of the boys. A farewell perty was given by our Senior class for John Ravellini, Marcel Wallet, and Ralph Alberieo, who later left for the Army. Maxwell Eaton was chosen to replace Marcel as president bf the class. And so, dear classmates, we have reached the goal for which we have striven for twelve long years. May the memories of good old days at Proctor High School remain with us forever. GRADUATION Four years ago together, A Freshman class we stood Hith excellent intentions That sometimes turned to good. We'll take no tearful leaving, Je'll say no sad good-bycs, For, though our hearts are heavy, The world before us lies. Our school days have been happy, But now 'tis time to go. Behind are recollections; Ahead our futures glow. To you, oh, Alma Enter, Our loyalty we iiJG; This be your pride and honor; You taught us how to live. CLASS PROPHECY General Richard Young has just published a new book entitled How to Become an Army Officer in Three Easy Lessons. In the book General Young tells of his own experiences as a rookie and how he came to be a high rank- ing officer. Julius Zapponi is now proprietor of Margaret's Beauty Shoppe located at l20-Fifth Avenue, New York City. The business is apparently doing well. Rita McGarry is now working at Richard's Drive-In Restaurant located in Slab City. Specialties are Green Mt. Pickles and Toasted Hot Dogs. Maxwell Eaton is playing with the Allen City Night- Crawlers, a big league baseball team. Max is professionally known, as Slugger Eaton , his batting average for the year is 100. Edward Kamuda is now running a meat market on the Wilhelmstrosse in Berlin. From German reports we hear that Edward sells a fine grade of sausages. He also has a bar where he sells schnapps. Faith Broadwell is a missionary in Japan. She likes her work very, much and says that the now colonization of Japan by the Chinese is very successful. Joyce Walsh is an instructor at the William's Flying School in Rutland. She has to her credit 500 hours of flying. Elaine Gilmore is now a highly paid executive in the Curtiss-Wright Aircreft Corporation in Buffalo, New York. She advanced very quickly because she devised the new Curtiss Too-Too-l plane, popularly known as the Flying Locomotive. Leo O'Connor has applied for a job with John L. Lewis. Lewis received his application and since he has run out of breath, hired him with the understanding of a two dollar raise if he was efficient. Leo has hopes of being Lewis' partner before long. Richard Allard, formerly head of the U. S. O. is now promoter of Tony Galento. From what we hear Tony is in fine shape, still drinking a gallon of beer a day. Mary Taranovich is a manager of a Beauty Salon in New York. Mary having the qualities of charm, appreciation for ibeauty and hanmony will succeed, we're sure. Mary Ostrowski served with the Women's Auxiliary Marine Corps during the war and has been following a Marine-ever since. Ruth Blaise is now a teacher in the Blue Ridge Mountains. She is teaching a school sponsored by the Presi- dent of the United States. She writes that the Southern rate of illiteracy is decreasing. Good work, Ruth. Keep it upl Playboy John Ravellini is new spending the winter in Beverly Hills, California. Johnny made millions hf dollars by selling cod liver 011. Dale Higbee, the famous concert flutist, has just left New York to tour Africa. He plans to give lessons to the natives there and in return he will receive his hut and board. I think bale's getting the better part of the bar- gain, don't you? Ralph Alberico's thead of the First National chain of stores in New England. He started a club and now has a pretty easy job. Paul Citorik is spending a few days at his home in Proctor. He is President of the Burgess-Citorik Automobile Corporation 'in Cleveland, Ohio. Helga Oscarson is new painting signs for Marcel's Motor Express of Rutland. When Helga was in high school she was interested in Commercial Arts. We hear that Hilda Beretta has succeeded Winchell Who has run out of breath on the Jergens Lotion program. We're sure Hilda will make a wonderful announcer. , Marcel Wallett, another member of the class of '45, enjoyed Africa so much during his sojourn there, that he bought farm and married one of the natives of the Ubangi tribe. A clipping from a recent New York.Times will prove interesting to the class of '43. It states that Miss Helen Nelson has just been chosen by Wendell Wilkie, who finally made the presidency, as his private secretary. Of course, you all know that Helen is engaged to Joe Snuckelgruber, the heavyweight boxing champion, who is a multi-millionaire. Barbara Riley is also in New York. She is the leading actress in Jessie the Thriller, the play which has broken :11 records for its fourth-aoaaon run on Broadway. Apparently Barbara'still retains that sweet charm that are had in high school. We understand that Irene Kivisto is very efficient in commercial work and has hopes of becoming a stenographer for the Allard Printing Company. During her spare time she is a model at the Larson Photograph Agency. When the war is ovpr, Gordon Anderson has a position co-starring with Tommy Harman, the famous football player. Since Gordon is very good in this sport, we expect him to outdo Tommy in the near future. CLASS WILL We, the class of 1945, in the Town of Praetor, County of Rutland, and State of Vermont, being of sound minds, do hereby make this our last will and testament, rendering void and of no avail any former documents that have been made by us during a period of temporary optimism.
