Spaulding High School - Our Echo Yearbook (Barre, VT)

i .:': Whenever one thinks of Mr. Mayo, he immediately thinks of him as Spaulding's leading rooter. Not only is he present at every game and student activity, but he is always ready to talk with students who seek his advice, and he is on the alert for improvements of the school. Under his guidance, the enrollment has risen to over 900, and student government has been re- instated. He also has instituted courses in driving training, music appreciation, and consumer education. When he is not hard at work on the job, Mr. Mayo enjoys the sport of fly fishing. IT MAY BE YOU To you, the class of 1951, comes the privilege of gradu- ating at a time when the country needs leaders and workers. You may never surprise the world that is waiting and watching expectantly for leaders, and you may never have your name in a headline, but like the bicycle rider going up hill at night, you keep on because you cannot see how steep the hill is ahead. On graduation day the world may not be waiting for you, but it is ready to make a place for you if you deserve it. Opportunity knocks every day, but you must be ready when the door opens. Frank W. Mayo

MR. CHARLES TAYLOR Superintendent of Barre City Schools We Applaud Our Friendly Leaders One of the main reasons why Barre's school system ranks so high in the state is the fact that Mr. Taylor is ever on the lookout for improvement. Due to his efforts, over 2100 students in six elementary schools have a well-balanced program of study which includes English, science, social studies, mathematics, and reading. Among the major improvements for which he is responsible are a new sprinkler system, classroom painting, and new flooring. Mr. Taylor's outside interests include working on Boy Scout 'committees and working around his house.
