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

OUR ECHO SPAULDING HIGH SCHOOL BARRE, VERMONT 1972 Cover design and art Robin Dessureau “The quarries . . . are things of beauty The life blood of our city The life blood of our town Things of terrible beauty . . . So it’s up with the boom and down with the fall Down with the fall and up with the boom. And there is music in the singing ropes A nd the guy wires sing in the wind A slapping and a sort of wail Go the singing ropes in the wind . . . ” The quarry is a symbol of both past and present. Centuries of geological devel- opment have created Barre granite, and now it is brought from the earth through hard work and ingenuity and know-how. We recognize that both imagi- nation and ingenuity have contributed to our granite industry. Granite lies at the center of Barre’s history, while education occupies the very heart of its future. Spaulding High School and its fine young men and women are ready to play an important part in that future. We accept the need for hard work, ingenuity and know-how in education as in the quarrying and manufac- turing of granite. Join OUR ECHO as we catch the rhythm of the year 1971-1972 at Spaulding High School. “Up with the boom and down with the fall Listen to your memories as the pages sing of successes and failures ... of happi- ness and heartbreak . . for you have shared many of these moments with us . . “O, I see a lot of hard work and ingenuity and know-how Just looking at that picture Quotations from “The Stranger in the Land by Franklin McKeage Courtesy Mr. Franklin McKeage 3 One of our happiest experiences this year, a luncheon visit with older citizens from MacFarland House, was a coop- erative venture between the Food Trades class and the Humanities class. The older students planned and pre- pared a special menu, after cosuiting with administrators at MacFarland House. The younger students in the Humanities class acted as hosts and hostesses and presented an excellent and varied program on the American Indian for their guests. 4 Spaulding students are sharing in the physical growth of the great- er Barre community. Boys in the Building Trades class have been erecting a ranch style home on Gallow Avenue, which will be com- pleted in the fall of ’72. This is the second home that students in this course have built; the first, on Beacon Heights, has already been sold. The Walk-a-thon, a new project this year, caught the imaginations of many students who participated on behalf of the March of Dimes. These students, grateful for physical and mental health, walked so that others, born less fortunate, might share more fully in the community. During the year we became accustomed to seeing some very young citizens as they came to Spaulding to attend nursery schools con- ducted by the Home Economics class and also the Health Occupa- tions class. These children played an important part in our learning experiences and proved that people of all ages can hold a place in our modern curriculum. In watching little people learn, we discov- ered much about ourselves. 1971-1972 was marked by growing concern for the environment, so we worked hard on BARRE, the recycling project, and participat- ed in Vermont’s annual Green Up Day in April. We also shared our ideas about beauty in other ways, with our exhibits at the Art Fair evidence of our talents. Barre is an enthusiastically sports-minded community, and the Boosters' Club has encouraged wider community interest in school events, especially athletics. The Club’s current goal is the installa- tion of outdoor lighting for athletic events, with 12 the target date. The Student Council has awarded its Crimson Key to Mr. Edwin Free in recognition of his leadership as president of the Boosters. When we shop downtown stores, we see how closely the academic programs of SHS are tied to the community. Students in the Dis- tributive Education course work in many local stores, with local merchants furnishing the actual experiences which these students study in the classrooms, and in return DECA is happy to arrange to have Santa arrive right on schedule for the Merchants' Bureau Christmas festivities. We are proud of the several SHS students dedicated to the Big Brother-Big Sister project, giving help and encouragement to children who need adult guid- ance and interest. The idea of the project is to give those child- ren an opportunity to do things they ordinarily couldn't do. More than 25 children have ben- efited from this student service. We also cite those Spauldingites who devote many hours to tutor- ing boys and girls in the graded schools that they might have more academic success. These students cannot be identified; they sought no praise; their only purpose was to help a child. An so this year we have listened to children, to older citizens, to our teachers, to lawyers, mer- chants, friends, families . . and because we have listened, we have heard the beat of life in our community. When activities succeed at Spaulding, we become aware of family participation. Families attending our games, our plays, our concerts; families furnishing transportation, food for suppers, props for plays; families encouraging us in our studies, in our interests, in our friends. Sherry Clark s fami- ly is one of the many actively interested in SHS activities. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Clark have just been named DEC A Family of Barre. They hold the distinction of having had 4 children and a son-in-law participating in the DECA program. The full realization of our roles in the adult community came when several seniors were called upon to perform their first real responsibilities as citizens to serve a jurors at the Vermont District Court. We knew that we could now vote, but somehow we had not thought of the responsibility of silting on a jury to decide the fate of a person accused and to try to make sure that all parties receive justice. Among those fulfilling this civic duty were George Watt, Eileen Gen- dron, James Austin, Peter Norkeveck, Michael Stevens, Donna Conti, and Stephen Nutter. Also called to duty were Claude Viens, Alain LeClerc, and Ernest Lavigne. Peter Norkeveck boasts of being the youngest juror in the state; he was 18 the day the jury drawing began. 7 Activity and involvement mark 1971-1972 Mr. Atkinson strives for good relations between students and staff.

Five industrious freshmen in the Humanities class set out to improve the environment and establish closer community ties. Jayne Duranleau, Sara Avery, Maryann Dexter, Linda Delano and Joanne Fortier instituted BARRE, a recycling project for the entire community. The idea for the project grew from a unit on man and nature, and soon the students were coordinating the volunteer center on Granite Street. Another successful activity found the students “adopting grandparents'’ at McFarland House. In the spring ambula- tory patients were invited to a lunch prepared and served by the Food Trades class, followed by a special program on American Indian history and culture. Kay Huntington, Cathy Borchert, and Keiji Fukuda work at the recycling center. Annette Bisson and Lorna Gale display authentic Indian crafts for the visiting “grandmothers and grandfathers from Mc- Farland House. Deanna Hayford contributes Indian lore.

Mimi Delano, Band TOM JONES “Tom Jones this year's senior play, was presented on November 22 and 23. It was based on a free adaptation of Henry Fielding’s classic novel of a foundling. The cos- tumes were gaily contrived rather than authentic; the manner was a strange mixture of 18th and 20th centu- ries, and the effect was highly entertaining. Tom Jones, adeptly played by Syd McPherson, grows up under the care of the Squire, well-portrayed by Dwight Harrington. Tom incorrectly supposes that one of the Squire’s servants is his mother, nicely played by Donna Carrier. Tom falls in love with Sophia, charmingly played by Molly Dever, and they plan to marry. Complications arise due to the plottings of Bilfil, well-portrayed by Jon Campbell. Tom is banished to London without knowing that Sophia is following him. Misunderstandings arise when, in a hotel along the way, Sophia is mistakenly given word that Tom has forsaken her for another woman. In anger, she goes to the home of her maiden aunt. Realizing what has happened, Tom fol- lows her. The situation appears even more hopeless when Tom is arrested for murder. Then he learns that his real mother is the Squire’s sister. The big surprise is that the man Tom had killed is not dead. So — Tom is freed, and he and Sophia are happily married. from “The Sentinel” “I brought him to you hoping you would give him a good home. Your kindness, sir, and your money are known throughout the country.” “ ... my mother . . . aye, dead . . . at Salisbury. Return- ing from London, she was seized by a gout in the head and the stomach .. ” “Landlady! Have you seen a young gentlewoman and her servant?” Michael Blanchet and Maureen O'Neil. 68 Mike Perreault, Donna Carrier, Sydney McPherson.

Mr. Lawrence Walker, who has contributed hundreds of hours of volunteer time to coach the Spaulding Rifle Team for many years, has been twice-honored by the larg- er Vermont community this year. The Governor’s Committee on Children and Youth has cited him for his service to the young people of Barre, and this spring he was the proud recipient of the Ralph La- Pointe Award, a memorial award made in recognition of significant contributions to the community and its young people. Mr. Walker’s dedication to the youth of Barre has re- ceived wide recognition in Vermont. Now the Rifle Team, the Rifle Club and “Our Echo” would like to thank him for the hours of patient coaching - so freely given which have made our marksmanship program such a success.

State Championship Meet Won by Northfield (standing position) Spaulding High School in second place. Mr. Smith and the boys load the van for a Saturday meet. This year the team was very fortunate in having Karl Lamson as assistant coach. Karl Lamson was captain of the Spaulding Rifle Team during the sixties and became one of the top collegiate marksmen in the U.S. while at- tending M IT. During the second semester, he was at home in Barre writing a thesis for his degree at M IT. His experi- ence and assistance in coaching have been particularly val- uable to Mr. Walker and the team since the entire team graduated in ’71. As unclassified shooters, three members of the team, John Barberi, Tony Willett, and Bob Thompson, placed 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in a NRA sponsored tournament in Hopkin- ton, Mass. A fourth member, Ronald Buswell, also placed extremely well. Incidentally, Karl was the over-all grand aggregate winner in this tournament, 1597 out of 1600. Neither Mr. Lawrence Walker, who has coached the team for many years, not Karl Lamson is directly connected with Spaulding High School, but they are both extremely interested in the young people of our community and have the expertise and the willingness to serve voluntarily. Our thanks to them for making this worthwhile activity possi- ble for our school and our appreciation to them for our success this year. “Our Echo” is proud to cite yet another example of the many gifts of time and talent from the community’s residents to Spaulding High School.

It need not occur in front of a desk, or at the back of a lecture hall. And it doesn't have to he something that can be readily written down. Concepts and ideas are more important to life than facts. Education can happen anytime that the mind is aware and alert. The brain is a powerful tool, if we make use of it. So now as we leave high school, we hegin a new and different, but no less important, phase of our education. John Richey.
