A. r : s fg a FOREWORD The Granite industry which is, without a doubt, the most important in central Vermont and which has the most influence on our daily lives represents our past, present, and perhaps our future. All around, up and down our Main Street, we find evidence of the meaning of the industry to our com- munity. The Youth Memorial, the Post Office, and Aid- rich Public Library—each of these represents our friends, relatives, and neighbors who are connected with the industry. Webster defines granite as being of unyielding firmness or endurance, meaning of course, that it will last forever. Similarly, the memories we will carry with us when we leave Spaulding will never be forgotten but will last our lifetime. For this reason we have chosen it as the theme for Our Echo of 1955.

Our foremen act as Keystones Clyde G. Fussell A.B., A.M., Ed.M. Mr. Fussell is the superintendent of the six elementary schools and Spaulding High School, and it is his responsibility to guide the 2,050 stu- dents under him. He is chief executive officer of the Board of School Commissioners, and some of his many duties include nominating teachers and supervisors, approving all of our study courses, and preparing the school budget. Mr. Fussell at- tended Middlebury College and the University of New Hampshire and is now working for his doc- tor's degree at the University of Connecticut. This is his third year of work as superintendent in the Barre City Schools, and we have all profited from his wise counsel and guidance. Vi Frank W. Mayo B.S., Ed.M. Our principal, Mr. Mayo, administers the rules and the regulations for the 850 students of Spaulding High School. He is responsible for the way our school is run. It is his job to supervise all activities of the school, organize and super- vise our teachers and classes, make up our cur- riculum, make the schedule of classes, keep records of attendance, be administrator of the guidance department, supervise all athletics, and, of course, hand out discipline when it is necessary. Mr. Mayo attended the University of Massachusetts and Boston University. During his few years at Spaulding he has done much for the school and will continue to guide the future citizens of Spaulding as capably as he has guided us. of Spaulding and help . ..

Miss Margaret Monta, Typing, Shorthand; Miss Kath- leen Jennings, Typing, Shorthand; Mrs. Flora Young, Shorthand, Bookkeeping; Mr. James Corbo, Gen. Math., Bookkeeping. Our Theme: The Typewriter Song. our designers Four curricula are offered to students of Spaulding: commercial, trade and industrial, academic, and college preparatory. From the excellent instruction of our faculty we acquire the knowledge needed to further our education and careers. The commercial department trains future stenographers and salesmen for a career immediately following high school. They help to develop the students' business technique by practical application of shorthand, typing, bookkeeping, and transcription. English, a required subject, is taught by an excellent staff erf teachers. Besides teaching us grammar and literature, three of these teachers have certain outside duties. Mrs. Mc- Gill is the adviser for Our Echo, Mrs. Worthington is Sentin- el adviser, and Mr. Wiggin is dramatic coach. The foreign language teachers encourage scholars through hours of endless instruction. Three or four years of a language are available. Each teacher is also an adviser for a language club.

Geography; Mr. David Seeley, Biology, Mathe- matics; Mr. Harris Palmer, Chemistry, Gen. Science. Mr. Henry Drake, Mr. Melvin Hook, Mr. Emilio Politi, Mr. Gerald Aubin, Vocational Education. Three very capable teachers comprise our Math de- partment by furnishing Algebra I and ll general math, plane geometry, trigonometry, and solid geometry. A college stu- dent is required to take at least two years of math. The all important sciences: general science, biology, physics, and chemistry are managed by four men teachers. Anyone who survives all four subjects has acquired a great deal of scientific knowledge. An excellent education in the fields of radio and elec- tricity, auto mechanics, machines, and monumental design is provided for the boys on the hill. Spaulding boys are very fortunate in that the experience they receive in these sub- jects is considerably more than other high schools can furn- ish. Those taking this course spend three periods at Spbulding and three periods at the trade school acquiring personal experience. Miss Naomi Hurlbutt Physical Education as they draft our Mr. Richard Wescott; Mr. Deep Corey; Mr. Jean Hamilton. Each of our coaches has a special class aside from coaching; Mr. Wescott, modern history; Mr. Corey, physical education for boys. Civics, a fresh- man year requirement, taught by Mr. Hamilton, gives a fundamental knowledge of city, state, and federal governments. Two years of physical education is also required for both girls and boys. Driver education, an elective for juniors and seniors, includes classroom theory as well as prac- tical experience in operating a car. Our musical groups are under the supervision of a capable director, Mr. Mori, who also has classes in music appreciation. Special instrumental and vocal training are available as extra-curricu- lar activities. Shop and mechanical drawing courses during the freshman and sophomore years are held here at school to prepare boys for their last two years at the vocational school on the hill. There, during their junior and senior years, they become skilled for trade and industrial occupations. Art classes are held one day a week for those wishing to participate. Miss Helen Cate Art Mr. Ernest Philbrook Mechanical Drawing Mr. Barrett Waling Driver Training Mr. Virgilio Mori Music Mr. Paul Nutter Shop 8 Miss Amy Goodell Mr. Robert Morse U.S. History Civics, Am. Problems, Guidance course of study Mrs. Eunice Marshall, Miss Rachel Dix, Home Eco- nomics, F.H.A. United States History, a required subject, presents the necessary knowledge of the growth of our country and democratic principles. This subject is taken either the junior or senior year. American Problems, a senior subject, teaches the exact democratic form of government. Four years of home economics are available to girls who learn the arts of homemaking by preparing food, making clothes, and studying nursing and nutrition. The two women teachers prepare the girls for future careers in home management, dressmaking, and nursing. Our cafeteria staff serves well-planned meals for students through a system of two lunch periods. The maintenance crew has a full-time job keeping the school shining and clean by daily sweeping and dusting. As we leave the draftsmen of our future, we wish to thank them for their endless help, for their encourage- ment when we were discouraged, and for their wise counsel. They have guided many of us who wish to go on to further education. They put their after school hours at our disposal for our personal problems. We sincerely thank them. 12:01 and everybody is still eatingl 9 Now, we Seniors are standing on the brink of our last year at Spaulding as one might stand on the edge of a quarry hole. The shelves of the quarry wall have been marked according to plans made previously, as have our years at Spaulding. It takes four years to prepare a Spauldingite to meet the world. Although it takes a shorter time to form a granite memorial to meet the approval of the public eye, much planning and thought is also needed. Down there in that open pit we see suggestions of the future occupations of several of our senior boys whereas across the road, in the quarry office, are opportunities for future secretarial positions for our senior girls. And for those who will be leaving the Granite Center, the memory will linger to remind them what a great part the industry played in elevating them to their present positions.

As apprentices we learn Ted Edgecomb here in our prizewinning play. The Silver Backed Hairbrush, a mystery farce. Others in the cast were David Carpenter, Beverly Palmer, Mickey Canales, Robert Fugere, Donald Savard, Claire Taupier, George Mercier, and Joseph Mowatt. 12 As excited and enthusiastic freshmen we entered the halls of Spaulding, September 5, 1951. We were ready to embark upon our high school careers. At the Freshman Reception, we felt very small, but we were full of thanks to the Student Council who sponsored it In our honor. The J.V. cheerleaders were chosen next. Every girl was anxious to be chosen, but these were the lucky five: Mari- anna Saliba, Donna Marsha, Margaret Carpenter, Marie Deep, and Penny Sandison. During the year the Singer Sewing Machine Company sponsored an apron making contest. Ann Puricelli and Lorna Martin were the winning seamstresses. We were very proud of our class when we won the class play contest over the sophomores and juniors. As the year closed we took part in the class exercises for the first time. We thought ahead to the day when we ourselves would be donning caps and gowns. The elite at one of Alice's numerous parties. the trade—as freshmen .. . Our class officers were Peter Lipman as president, Margaret Carpenter as secretary. Bob Watson as treasurer, and Gary Madam as vice-president. Gary has since transferred to St. Johnsbury Academy. 13 On September 3, 1953, we returned to Spaulding as sophomores. Most of us felt very excited about this. We weren't just green freshmen, but we still had three wonder- ful years to look forward to. Congratulations, Sophs! An Exceptional Job. These were the words of the SENTINEL headline after our Sopho- more Hop, the Football Hop. Home room officers and class officers were committee chairmen. Miss Jean Watson, Miss Christine Martin, and Mr. Paul Nutter, our class ad- visers, helped us plan our dance. The hall was decorated with banners, megaphones, and footballs. Ours was the best attended Sophomore Hop in several years. Our ring committee was made up of class officers and home room presidents. Our class ring committee was made up of the following: Robert Croteau, Richard Pinard, Norma Canales, Nancy Agosta, Valerie Buttura, Sylvia Emslie, Doreen Mekkelsen, and Robert Watson. as sophomores Beat 'em! Bust 'em! That's our custom!'' was our cry as sophomores. During home room period on October 7, we elected as class officers the following: Nancy Agosta for treasurer, Norma Can- ales for secretary, Richard Pinard for vice-president, and Robert Croteau for president. It was especially important for us to se- lect good officers this year because we had two main activities, the Sophomore Hop and the selection of our class rings.

Our Sophomore year ended with many anticipations of another wonder- ful year beginning in the fall. 15 The Time: A Few Years Ago THE JUNIOR CLASS Presents Sherwood Anderson's FM A FOOL Cast Again as juniors we won the annual inter- class play contest. The play, a comedy, I'm a Fool hinges around George, a former stable boy, who for the first time attends the horse races as a spectator. His mother and sister dis- approved of his doings. While arguing with him, they refer to the Dude, who they think is the ideal type. Later he meets Wilbur, Lucy, and Elinor, whom he impresses by using the name of a rich horse owner. George falls in love with Lucy who promises to write to him when she leaves. Because he realizes he'll never receive her letter, the play ends with his saying, I'm a Fool. as juniors . . .

We had a lot of fun converting the audi- torium into a New Orleans street scene. Much credit should be given to our class advisers: Miss Jean Watson, Chairman, Miss Christine Martin, Miss Pamela James, and Mr. Paul Nutter. The chairmen of committees and many other hard-working juniors were respon- sible for the success of the prom. We had an unusual attendance at this colorful affair. Come to the Mardi Gras.

As in other years, the members worked on their annual presentation, the French Follies. The meetings of the Junior Classical League, were highlighted by programs concerning life in Roman times. At one special meeting Mrs. Blackmore showed slides which she took in Rome. Consul Jimmy Bisson presided over the monthly meetings. The Spanish Club started the year with flying colors by initiating new members. Special events in- cluded the annual Christmas party and an illustrated lecture on Mexico by Mrs. Lipman. The monthly meetings of Future Homemakers in- cluded speakers on good-grooming, sewing, and cook- ing. For their Christmas meeting, a guest came to show them the art of gift wrapping. The girls made and serv- ed their own refreshments. The Future Nurses of America held meetings with speakers telling them about the different fields of nursing. At one meeting they went on a complete tour of the hospital.

With other students from throughout the state, these girls organized and conducted a miniature state government of their own and learned the functions of their government by actual experiences. Nancy was our only state officer; she was elected to fill the position of Secretary of State. George Maniatty, sponsored by the Elks Club; Rich Pinard, Masons; Francis Pinard, Knights of Columbus; Walt Stowell, Rotary Club; Fred Pirie Moose; Ronny Halsall, Lions Club; Bob Watson, Amer- ican Legion; Walt Rizzi, Mutuo Soccorso Society; and Ricky Putnam, Kiwanis Club—these boys were the fortunate ones chosen to represent Spaulding at Green Mountain Boys State for 1954. Boys State was again held at Norwich University. Here, during the six days we were there, we elected town, county, and state officials and set up a working government on all levels. An active sports program was set up, and the Spauldingites were active participants. All of the boys from Spaulding held two or three town or county offices, but Walter Rizzi brought Spaulding the most honor by being elected State Treasurer. All enjoyed their stay at Boys State, and many of them wished that it had lasted longer. Music played an important part in our extracurricular activities at Spaulding. Larry Aiken, Kimball Darling, Dan Eastman, and Kay Sabens spent many hours at the piano accompanying our various music clubs. Below we see another Spaulding eleven, a team of musi- cal seniors who expressed their love of Spaulding with instruments instead of the pigskin. Kay Sabens and Larry Aiken are await- ing the signal to play, while Daniel East- man and Kimball Darling stand ready to replace them.

Mr. Mori, our superb band directoi, was constantly busy training our music organiza- tions. Our band, once again sparkling in their new uniforms, provided us with a high calibre of music at the innumerable events in which they participated. Our snappy band added zest to our pep rallies, football, and basketball games, and presented a fine concert in November. The Glee Club is ready and willing to pose for the cameraman.

This year the Christmas con- cert was broadcast over the local radio station reaching many who otherwise could not have enjoyed it.

Spaulding students have an opportuni- ty to take part in two music festivals dur- ing the year. The first, Winooski Valley, comes in the fall with eleven schools participating. This year it was held in Barre and gave Spauldingites the chance to show off their school and city. Among the events featured were a parade in the afternoon and a concert in the eve- ning. The other music festival is the Ver- mont All-State in Burlington in May. Eleven seniors have been chosen this year for the All-State chorus. Being chosen for All-State is a high honor and a satisfying reward for four years of hard work. Laurence’s Tenderly. These are Spaulding's chorus representatives to Winooski Valley.

In October, Mrs. McGill, co-editors Patricia Beers and Nancy Agosta, business manager Gloria Guidu- li, and Valerie Buttura traveled to New York City to attend the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Convention. The girls came home with tips on how to assemble a prize-winning yearbook. Many times we ran to Mrs. McGill for necessary advice on countless problems that only experience such as hers could have provided.

The smile of hope and pride that lights the face of the heavy hitter at bat can also be seen on the face of a high-school hoop artist getting set to tie the score or a speedy half-back dashing for a touch- down. Spaulding, noted for its sports ability, has had many victories in the past four years. And although, like every typical high school, we have our stars in each sport, it takes other players and interested spectators to make sports worthwhile. S H O.K. you monkeys, around the field ' are all too familiar words from our stolid coach. The inspiring talks of Mr. Corey, Deep, to most of us instill in us a more fervent desire to win. Under his leadership, Spaulding teams will always do well. Blocked by a All-State Ankle line of granite Row 3: B. Desilets, R. Putnam, V. Dyke, R. Dwinell, Coach Corey. Row 2: F. Rugo, R.'

His line coaching was in- dispensable this year. The fundamentals he taught will be a big factor in making next year's team a championship team. 81 The class ot 1955 wasn't represented by very many mem- bers on the football team this year, but it can be very proud of those who were on it. Pete Lipman, Rick Putnam, and Art Desilets, playing good hard football, proved formidable to the opposition both on offense and defense. Although small. Jack Savoia and Jim Matott more than proved the value of the scat-back. Gardner Corey not only quarterbacked our team but was chosen captain and quarterback of the Vermont All-State team. Bob Watson and George Gingras were injured before the season started. Bob broke his collarbone, and George reinjur- ed his ankle. Bob returned to coach J. V.'s. His team had a one win-no loss record. With eight lettermen coming back, Spaulding will be the team to watch next year. opposing teams find ) f rr- SCOREBOARD S.H.S. 6 Rutland 18 29 S.H.S. 2 Cathedral 19 31 S.H.S. 25 Burlington 19 33 S.H.S. 27 St. Albans 6 33 S.H.S. 0 Montpelier 40 32 S.H.S. 6 Springfield 20 33 171 83 SCOREBOARD S.H.S. 78 St. Michaels 66 S.H.S. 61 U.

In the center we see little Gard pushing up a big swish, and below Chuck snap another one. As usual the Crimson Tide has racked up an- other good season on the basketball court. As a result of their 18-2 record, Spaulding indisputably controlled second place in the Northern League. In- cidently the Tide was the only team in the state to knock off front-running Burlington. Spaulding's versatile athlete, Gardner Corey, proved his worth as he continually drove the opposi- tion wild by scoring baskets, stealing the ball, and snatching rebounds. Anyone reading his rebound re- cord would swear that Gard was at least seven feet tall. In the persons of Rick and Frank Pinard fans saw two very fine, fast, ball handlers. If either one of the brothers was near a loose ball or if one of the opposition happened to put the ball invitingly , close to Rick or Franny, it was gone, and Spaulding was fast-breaking its way to another basket. Along with the Pinard brothers, Charles Mus- cles Aimi proved himself a definite scoring threat. He was usually seen rebounding with and snagg- ing the ball from the bigger boys in the state. Speaking of big boys, big Rick Putnam at six feet four inches fills the bill nicely. Ricky developed into quite a ball player and was a big asset to the squad. From the bench came Dwinell, McKee, and Wil- liamson to help out in case of trouble. Also nicely filling in when the situation required were Pelle- grini, Anderson, Bancroft, and Ordway. burns high as Spaulding 87 The 1952-53 edition of the Crimson Ripple was a team which the whole school could be proud of. With the good board work and steady scoring of Pete Lipman, Charlie Aimi, and Walt Rizzi; the speed, excellent ball handling, and shooting ability of the two high scorers, Rich and Francis Pinard; and the strong, dependable bench provided by Art Desilets, Jim Matott, Bruce Buckley, Bob Croteau, Ron Halsall, Charlie Pellegrini, and others, the team com- piled the enviable record of nineteen wins and one loss. The Ripple rolled over all opposition except in one game, the first league game of the season. In this one the Burlington Sea Ponies proved to be a little better condi- tioned and hung the only loss of the season on the Ripple. This, the Ripple avenged in their second meeting. This team, capably coached by Deep Corey, sent up to the varsity the backbone of what we hope will be a state championship team. Whether J. V. ’s Row 3: C. Aimi, P. Lipman, B. Desilets.

To mention a few veterans, we find such names as Fran and Rich Pinard, Buckley, Jacobs, Matott, and Halsall. Pete Lipman was one of the League's top ten sluggers last year, and Gard Corey is a good ball hawk in the outfield and a very good hurler besides. He also can hit. Some of the other boys who will be pushing for starting roles are Pellegrini, Dick Anderson, Dyke, Wester, and Plante. Bill Osha will also strengthen the pitching staff.

Their high stepping and precision twirling are a result of hard work and never-ending practice under the direction of Miss Diane Paquet. They cer- tainly add that finishing touch to our foot- ball and basketball games and other special events. Wearing those smart uniforms this year are Katherine Aitchison, Jane Boud- reau, Mickey Canales, Barbara Knutson, Ann Petell, Joan Vidoli, and Susan Yaeger. With the downbeat of the band they're ready to march. 94 All lined up and ready for action. Rene Norma n the pep department Donna mmm Louise A game isn't complete without those snappy cheerleaders whose pep and leader- ship have led us to victory in so many of our football and basketball games. During the football season the girls donned slacks, but during basketball games we saw them in skirts. Miss Jennings, a new teacher this year, was appointed adviser to the girls. Heading the cheerleaders is a senior, Menna Saliba. The rest of the squad include Rene Gray, Barbara Hamel, Louise Hotte, Sandra Laquerre, Donna Murray, and Norma Pal- mer. 95 96 97 s H S Barre, the Granite Center of the world, sends out tons of granite daily by truck and train.
