He graduated from Norwich University with a B.S. degree and received his M.Ed. from Bates. Re- cently he was elected president of the Winooski Valley Principals Associa- tion. He has to supervise all activities of the school, organize our classes, and make up our curriculum. “Seniors, as your co-pilot, I’m about to turn on the switch which will eject you into the unknown. As I do, take a final look and give a fond farewell to your past twelve years of formal education, to that little red schoolhouse, and to the impres- sive building known as Spaulding High, where your happiest memories will forever be enshrined. “Into the vastness of ‘wild blue yonder’ you go! The world out there is waiting to receive you. Go and make your place, and may God speed you on your way! A. G. PENDO.
