AGNES LACROIX LYLE RUSHLOW VIRGINIA CLOUGH 'I his is the year 1961, and today is the day we hold our class reunion. We on the committee re- ceived telegrams this morning from all our class- mates telling us why they could not attend. Lyle-Virginia, I see you are modeling Huores- cent bathing suits from Evershine Company. You were always an excellent model. Agnes-Lyle, I see you are on the ALL-STAR basketball team. You were always a good basketball player. Virginia-Agnes, I see you have become the world's most accurate typist. You always were accurate in typing at school. Lyle-I'm a steam riveter and like the quiet at- mosphere, am putting nuts in a new sana- toruim so can't leave-Alex. Alex was always quite a chap. I am positive he is the most refined steam riveter in the business. Agnes-I have important case with Sister Kenny. Very sorry cannot make it.-Ann I wonder if Clayton ever got to be a doctor. Virginia-I am manager of Macy's Department Store in New York. This is our busy sea- son.-Aubrey I see Aubrey got his start while he was in high school. Lyle-We missionaries are leaving for Iapau im- mediately.-Bruce A. You know Bruce and his Inissions. Agnes-Because of my campaign for president I will not be able to attend the reunion.- Bruce Hodgman I always knew he would get to be president, of something else after being president of our class for two years. Virginia-I am a teacher. Have to go to conven- tion.-jo-Ann I wonder if the students like her any better than she liked her teachers. Lyle-As an astronomer, I am studying the heav- ens at Seashore with beautiful blond assistant. Star gazing date tonight.-Clayton Still up to his old tricks. Agnes-Sorry cannot attend, aIn having trouble with a few of the children at the orphange.- janet Her motto was business before pleasure and I guess she is living up to it. Virginia-Sorry cannot make it. I am a detective and am on a murder case.-Roger l guess Roger got his start in the senior play as being a policeman. Lyle-just joined the navy to see the world through a porthole.-Gaylord Cay is so ambitious. He will probably be an Admiral by the time the Heet reaches Manila. Agnes-I am personal manager of Woolworths in Burlington. Sorry can't make it.-Ardellc She started working there right after she graduated. She is doing very well. Virginia-Am secretary to the President of the University of Vermont. Cannot attend.- Beverley I see she finally got to be a secretary. Lyle-I am a farmer. I raise winter wheat and summer squash. Cannot come because of harvest.--Daton There is something queer about him. But I suppose Daton is a very scientific farmer and knows all about rotation of crops and every- thing. I wonder if he raises shorthorns. I never can remember whether they are cows or turnips, but he probably raises them any- way.

Sonny-Hi Adrien! Adrien--Well, hi Sonny, long time no see. lVhat have you been doing with yourself? Sonny-Oh! Nothing much, just a little loaf- ing and as little work as possible. lt certainly seems good to see you. Adrien-We havenit seen each other since the night of june 8, 1951. Wonder what ever be- came of the kids that dropped out of our class, like liomauld Benjamin, Dennis Boright, Shirley Combs, Helen Cummings, Eugene Ma1'tel, Lu- cille Perro and Annette Smith? Sonny-l don't know, they just seemed to vanish into nowhere. Adrien-Remember our first year of Senior high? lt seems like a long time ago, but I can't remember the officers that year. Sonny-Yes, Bruce Archambault was presi- dent, Aubrey Bashaw, vice-president, Helen Cummings, treasurer, Ann Bicknell, secretary. Adrien-ltemember our first three weeks as freshmen? Boy, we thought we were big stuff then. But we soon got that taken out of us at the Freshmen Initiation. Sormy-Remember dressing up in our Indian costumes, and all the things we had to do for the Seniors? Adrien-Then came our first exams and boy were they tough. But we somehow managed to struggle through them. Sonny-Can you remember our sophomore vcar Adrien? f Adrien-Yes, and we didn't do much that year besides our sophomore hop in which every- one did a lot of quibbling over committees. Sonny-Also we were a little more sure of ourselves that year. Acltrien-The class officers that year, I re- member, were Aubrey Bashaw, president, janet Taylor, vice-presidentg Ann Bicknell, secretary, and Jacqueline Coodhue, treasurer. Sonny-Then came our junior year. We were getting older, and a lot more seemed to be hap- pening that year. Also we started our famous Saturday night dances. They were quite a suc- cess weren't they? E E inmunum.-ummmin iI-14In1111I11i11I1it1IIII1IiI-I-IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-III--4IIIIIIuu-IIIIIImImimmm-umIim1un-mnmmnmmiE5 mum1unumuuunmmmmuuuuumnuummuum1uummumnmnnnnmnnnumnnnIIIInuIunuuuuunnumnmmnIummnnnmmnum? Adrien-Yes, and there was certainly more fun had, than money made that time and all the rest of our junior year. Sonny-Adrien, remember that time our class had a food sale in which there was some sort of a mix-up and every one brought baked beans? Adrien-Yes I do, and Mr. Bicknell also ar- ranged for educational movies for each class. Sonny-Oh gosh! then came our senior year and how stndious We were going to be that year. Adrien-That certainly turned out to be a Hop for right after the first of the month we started preparations for freshmen initiation. Sonny-I can still see initiation day fourth period in the morning with all the freshmen sit- ting on the floor. Adrien-About that time Mr. Bicknell got high blood pressure and made them all sit back in their seats, much to our displeasure. Sonny-Then came basketball season once more with old veterans going around with aches and pains for a week after it started. Adrien-Then came preparation for the Christmas Ball, and what a job that Was. Sonny-And we only made ten little dollars. Adrien-Remember what a gyp we thought we were getting when Mr. Bicknell told us we couldn't have so many movies. Our fear was soon erased when we saw what swell basketball teams we had. E Sonny-And our possibility of going to the tournament was so close this year that it wasn't even funny. Adrien-Following basketball came rehersals for the animal Minstrel show, and the senior play. They were both big hits and a large sum of money was certainly cleared. Sonny-Well, Adrien, there goes that Atlas blackout whistle which means back to Work for me. Adrien-It seems only yesterday that we were back in old Bichford High. Well, so long Sonny! Sonny-So long, Adrien!

Alex-Yes, I guess we saw just about all the types of creatures that exist. Daton-Dicln't any of you fellows notice how much the animals looked like the Class of '51? Alex-Yes, and didn't the baboon we saw look like Adrien Breault? With those goo-goo eyes. Gaylord-Yes, he surely did look like Adrien. But the way that pet parrot chattered reminded me of Bruce Archambault's eternal talking. Re- member how Mr. Pierce always had to shut him up in Agriculture? Daton-Did you see those dumb creatures called monkeys that live in Africa? They re- mined me of john Daignault and Roger Lumbra. Alex-They looked the part, all right. By the way, did you notice how the ostrich's wings looked like Io-Anne Ieune and her hair do? So prim and proper. Daton.-The love birds reminded me of Bev. Sonthward and Aubrey Bashaw, always billing and cooing. Gaylorfl-Say, didnit that shoesnake look just as cool and as calm as janet Taylor? Alex-When we got into the animal section, the lambs we saw reminded me very much of Agnes La Croix and Irene Brodeu1'. --------..-...................................................U.-.-Nin..nm.......m.......mm.m...m-11-IumIIII-I-mI.-1--11-1H1-mamma-nmnmm.i 3 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIlIllllIllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINYIIIIIDIIIIIIIIIllllIIIIIIHlIIIIIlIllllllllllllllmlllllilll Daton-Didnit they, though? That turtle looked an awful lot like Clayton Ploof. He was so slow moving and deliberate. Gaylord-That mountain goat way up there on that peak reminded me of Ardelle Martin and her home far away on Hardwood Hill. Daton-That kangaroo reminded me of Mar- garet jackson flying around the study hall. She was always very active in and out of school. Alex-The camel looked long-legged and skinny like jack Buckley. Daton-The cat looked so friendly and silky that I thought of Ann Bicknell at once. Gaylord-Do you remember the fox? He was so alert and bright eyed that I was reminded of Bruce Hodgman. Alex-The rabbit made me think of Virginia Clough. always hopping around. Daton-The cla1n's open jaws looked as powerful as Lyle Rushlow's grip. Alex--The wolverine looked as ready to fight as Cay. Yes, quite a dumb looking thing. Gaylord-And that shy-looking raccoon re- minded me of Daton F leury, who didn't do much running around in the day, either. Daton-The exhibit of the lion at the water hole reminded me of Alex Norris on his nightly trip to King's garage. Gaylord-Well, boys, now that we've run out of classmates to insult, we'd better beat it.
