This feat along with many other good times were the results of the 50's Day sponsored by the Senior class. A large number of students as well as some of the teachers arrived for homeroom decked out in the duds of the 50's. Greased hair and bright lipstick were in the style of the day. And that night we bopped and rocked around the clock to the tunes of the Estes Boys band.lt was quite a fun filled day.

Their advisors are head- ed by Mr. Dave Fisher and also include: Mr. David Craig, Ms. Cynthia Godin, Mr. Max Jenness, Mr. Wade Perkins, Ms. Priscilla Wood and Mr. Fred Swann. . .The class was a little slow getting their heads together but finally late in November posters began to spring up around the school announcing their elections. When the ballots had been counted the results were President Ed Gale, Vice-President Patty Marchini, Sec- retary Nancy Hoag and Treasurer Nancy Pelkey. . .This group of officers got togeth- er and decided that their first order of business would be to collect class dues. They set $1.50 as the ammount and chose a representa- tive from each homeroom to collect it. The class has yet to plan any other activities, but surely with their size they should be a power- ful class in years to come. ..This power has already been observed in sports. This class is very athletic minded and seems to have the talent to back it up; witness the ammount of freshmen on various Varsity teams this year. They have also established them- selves in many other activities, most notably in the Drama and Music departments. . The Class of '7 9 looks forward to an interesting and exciting year as 38 H.

As September approaches, summer's long, lazy days fade and its dreams ride out with the salty tide. Crimson waves begin to splash into view - it is time to start school.Fall brings mixed emotions for S.H.S. students. Freshmen are nervous to enter the big school, but excited to have finally arrived upon the high school scene. Seniors are beginning to realize that this is their last year and although they want to get it over with they also want to make the very most of it. Fall at Spaulding begins in August with the beginning of football, soccer and field hockey practices. Yes Fall, too, is a time of dreams. Dreams of bringing a state championship home, of having a winning season. It was a time when we witnessed Emily and George s eternal dreams in the Drama Club's tremendous production of Thornton Wilder's OUR TOWN. Our aspiring musicians tested their dreams during a two-way exchange concert with Essex that was both successful and fun, while Friday nights were often spent listening to a more professional brand of music at dances and concerts. And in the Fall twelve SHS senior girls tested their talents and their dreams in the Junior Miss Pageant. Dreams came true in the sporting world,too as the Football team won their first game, the soccer team scored their first goal (after 4 games) and the Field Hockey team made the play-offs. Of course with victory also comes heartbreak as seen in the Field Hockey team's quarterfinal double overtime loss among others. ..Fall is a time of vibrant leaves painting the world and dancing gently down to Earth. At about the end of the first marking period many seniors got the long-awaited news - sometimes good,sometimes bad - from the college of their dreams. It was a time of Harvest dinners, pep rallies and parties. and the dreams of Fall melt slowly with the first snowflakes of winter. Back row L. Middle row: Front row: to R: Coach. Mrs. Gray. M.

FIELD HOCKEY 1975 The marked outline of wooden sticks against the chill autumn air Triumphantly raised to the sky in spirited joy and Thrust against the ground in silent defeat. Sweat molds hand upon stick mind upon mind while cleats chew the stale mud. Vermont trees burn alive with fire and the damp leaves dew on the bench. A team, one unit The Big Red Machine a heart throbbing, pulsing struggling for life. A team, One unit Friendships outlasting run-weary legs Our love will never hit that Last Lap. it’ll never run out of Wind. A team. Our Team One Special Unit Red and Blue; Victorious 59 BE FIRST! That was our motto. And we were first in many ways. We were the first Spaulding Field Hockey team to have a winning season, the first to play in tournament competition and the first to have official sweatsuits to wear. But we were first in many other ways, too. we were first in spirit, in sportsmanship and in determination. We wanted to win but more than that we wanted to play our best. Our games were not always perfect. We occaisionally got a case of the bunchies or forgot the ball or slipped quietly into Lake Erie. We muttered angrily to ourselves when we caused obstruction, high sticks, offsides or advancing. We hung our heads and banged our sticks against the ground when our opponents scored and shuffled dejectedly to the bus after a defeat. But all the sweat and work, all the dissappointments were worth it every time we scored, every time we carried a victory home with us. Yes, we were winners and we were first, we started off the season on a good foot with a victory on our home field. Our next four games were played away and we dropped the first two of them in defeat. We quickly got back on the winning streak and ran our record to 5 wins and 2 losses before we lost another game. Although most of our competition was tough, we consistently remained near the top of the league standings. Our second string was very strong this year. T hey played against the Junior Varsity teams from other schools and went undefeated. They did tie in one or two games, but they won the rest. They also started the season off well with a 7-0 drubbing of the J.V. team from U-32. This game impressed the coach so much that a few freshmen were stepped up to the first line. At first we worried that this might weaken the second team but they proved us wrong, as they continued to win all season. .. Our great season did not come to us on a silver platter, however. Every day at 3 o clock we climbed aboard the two vans we were provided with and trucked up to Bailey Field. Often only one van would show up and we would have to make a double run. And then there was the day that it did not show up at all. At Bailey we would run our 4 laps - (usually!! Then co-captains Denise Goodnow and Lori Camire would put us through our calisthenics. Next we would go through any crazy drills M.G. and Nancy Walters could think of. The best part of the day was when we finally got to scrimmage each other. Yes, all our practices paid off. . We not only had a winning season, we had a good time in the process. And there are lots of memorable experiences, we all remember Tuna-breath and Balogna-breath - the times we got off the van one at a time - stealing balls from the other team (not stealing - just finding them( H Bonnie bringing a volleyball to practice - the demonstration to the school - the Randolph game in the mud - illegal substitution (right Anne?) - Kathy cannot match her socks - Sue forgot her lollipop pants - and what did Denise forget? - Nancy took a free hit for the other team, almost - and the bus almost forgot to bring us to our quarterfinal game (we were plannin to walk). BE FIRST. And we always were. We were a team made up of people - not stars,not numbers. We cared about our team, and our sport. And we never really lost a game. 60 FILL YOUR DAY WITH BRAVERY.

We often thought of renaming the game ‘Water Polo’ or ‘Mud Ball’. Typical of these weather conditions was the day we scored our first goal - in about 6 inches of water. . Although the untimely rain washed victories from our grasp, our spirits were not drowned. We played each game with heart and enthusiam. The team was made up of an English coach and a wide variety of nationalities on the bench. Therefore the games were often willed with temper flairups and spicy language. Nevertheless no one will ever be able to say that we were not a close team, as we were a single unit all striving for the same goal - which we didn’t score too many of! - But C’est la vie as they say up in Canada. We never found each other’s real names terribly interesting so we invented a few nicknames. Among the printable ones were: Joe-Joe, Swamp, Mouse, OOAE, Swivel Ankles, Bondo, Plummer, Animal, Grease and Goon, Dicky and Hollywood. . .We finished out the season with a 3 wins and 9 losses record. The Junior Varsity did a litle better with a 6-3-2 record. However records can and always will be decieving. Mr. Freeman and Mr. Chevalier were extremely pleased with the turnout for the soccer team. They had the largest number of candidates to choose from this year than ever before. In fact there were so many that unofficially Spaulding fielded a Freshmen Soccer team this year. Yes, although the season was wet cold and muddy - we will always retain warm memories of it. 73 JUNIOR VARSITY SOCCER Row 1: R. Bolduc, C. Hill, T. Langley, D. McMan, P. Murdock, S. Conti. Row 2: M.

Flying colors cutting through the crisp autumn air peppering it with rustling red and blue taffeta rustles. Team Spirit' they call to the avid (and not so avid) fans. With seemingly undying pep the cheerleaders spread their enthusiasm to the crowd game after game. They yell through wet-pasted hair during the dreariest and rainiest of nights and shiver along with the crowd on chilly Vermont November afternoons. Who ran the pep rallies? The Cheerleaders. Who saw that there were always plenty of posters around the school? The Cheerleaders. Yes, Cheerleaders are an integral part of any sports program. They do much more than just stand in front of the crowd looking pretty and making loud noises. And they will continue to send flying streaks of fire through the air at athletic contests. Ms. Ellen Daly is the cheerleaders advisor. She spends many hours helping the girls perfect their cheers as well as seeing that they are always present at the games. She not only coaches the varsity cheerleaders but the junior varsity girls as well. ..This years varsity squad consisted of Cheryl Chouinard, Bonnie Brown,Karen Fumagalli, Robin Greenough, Becki Minoli, Mary Caccavo, Lori Graf, Donna Raymond, Rhonda Rouleau, Mary bellavance and Mama Mugford. . The Junior Varsity squad consisted of Kathy Booth, Andrea Calcagni, Beth Calderara, Laura Cattelona, Patty Marchini, Michelle Perreault and Rhonda West, and Ann Schmidtz. Remember the great plays of the season, remember the scores and the victories and the celebrations. Remember the spirit and the rhythm, yes - remember the cheerleaders. 78 79 VJ ♦ «4 1 7 ' t ★ BICENTENIAL rfi t, .

In order to belong to the National Honor Society a stud ent must have a grade point average of 3.5. This year the club has 16 members out of the senior class. Although they got off to a relatively late start, they promise to be an busy and exciting club during the year. They elected George Delano as president, Jane Woodruff as vicepresident, Susan Manning as secretary and Roberta Russell as treas- urer. Each high school chap- ter throughout the nation may nominate two candidates for the 1000 dollar National Hon or Society scholarship. This scholarship is based on leader ship, character, service and academics rather than need and the candidates are select- ed from the chapter and by the chapter. This year Susan Manning and Michael Rubal- caba were selected to repre- sent Spaulding. We wish them the best of luck. The club has talked about money making activities in order to give scholarships and to have as many good times as possible. There is the possibil- ity of a spring trip to Mr. Burdett’s camp for a day as last years club did. Ideas mentioned have included a junior high record hop, coat checking at various events and a bazaar and crafts fair. The possibility of tutoring has also been discussed and a bottle drive may be held in conjunction with the Hispanic National Honor Society. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Row X: D. Ug«e. R. Behilfc. S. Hoag.

Its other officers include : Karen Flowers vice president. Mary Riddle Treasurer and Lisa Gianonni and Donna Woodworth - Advertising. The purpose of this club is to introduce its members to the many fields of nursing through various projects which will be undertaken throughout the course of the year. It is a national organization of which Spaulding is but one chapter. The money raising projects that they have sponsored to date include a Harvest dinner and a Bottle drive. More than raising money, however they are concerned with getting involved with community projects in which they can be helpful to others. They made Christmas stockings for the residents of the McFarland House, had a clothes drive for those in the Brandon Training Center and donated Christmas gifts for the children there as well. In the future they plan to work with the Visiting Nurse Assosiation and do whatever they can to help out. It is clear that the FNA is a welcome club at Spaulding and has gotten off to a great start. They are an involved group who provide many helpful services, learn their field and have a good time in the process. Row 1: D. Perreault, P. Cloutier, P. Longchamp, D. Rogers, J. Beaudoiu, K.

Excited little children home baked goodies - the intoxicationg smell of Chrismas pines and the twinkling lights and merry stars that give character to evergreen trees - packages piled high in spectacular hues - frozen snow on shiny chilled winter nights - warm, cheery light and airy caroles. Yes Christmas is music. On the first Christmas, the Christ child was heralded in by the joyous songs of angels and to this day one of the first and best memories of any Christmas is its music. . On Tuesday, December 16 at 7:30 p.m. in the spaulding a warm Christmas crowd was treated to the music of Spauldings band, orchestra and chorus and chorale. This same performance was repeated twice during school hours for the benefit of students and faculty. . . The band, under the direction of Stan Flink presented three numbers. The first two, THREE CHRISTMAS CAROLS BY Hulst and CHRISTMAS IN BRASS BY Uber were arranged especially for brass while the third, SUITE OF CAROLS BY Leroy Anderson was arranged for the woodwind section of the band. . Directed by Mrs. Julia Leblanc five numbers. They included: SLEIGH RIDE by Leroy Anderson, SLEIGH RIDE by Mozart, MUSICAL CLOCK by Haydn,SILHOUETTE OF TARA by Sterner and CHRISTMAS MUSIC FOR THE ORCHESTRA by Lacavas The Chorale presented IN DULCI JUBILE by Bustelude and LAND TO NATIVITY by Nexprghi with a solo by Ann Hutchins. . As was the Chorale, the Chorus was directed by Jim Dehls and they sang CHRISTMAS LULLABY by Brahms and THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS by Fred Warings. . The concert was greatly enjoyed by all who attended it. Among the audience at one performance were two high school girls visiting from Denmark. They were thrilled with the music and remarked that ‘you would never hear music that good on the high school level in Denmark.' 89 Swirls lazily moving too fast, going everywhere when there is no place to go Swirls pulling up on the downbeat filling my harir with wind in their game of hide and seek Swirls running I catch one; it hides in my warm grasp. I look up. It reappers, laughing at my wonder. Swirls banked against the dotted swiss night swirls I am a child asking Do they eat and sleep, too? And I close my eyes seeing swirls of laughing white. Ring in the cheer with sugar bells and fir-scented tree flashing Caroling The night air encircles me And overwhelms me with its serenity. I turn and Wander down the snowcapped road. My footsteps muffled by the glittering sugar. Oh, quiet, peaceful night. The season is borne in on your silent wings, And I feel it within my own soul. This is the first time I have felt Christmas, truly the spirit is here. And I walk further down the twinkling road And hum a favorite carol to the white crowned trees and smiling moon.

This was the theme of this year’s Christmas faculty tea. It was planned and sponsored by the school’s home economics department. It was held on Thursday December 18, as a open house type of affair where teachers could wander in and out at will. According to one teacher, nearly all of the faculty and staff attended at one time or another. Delicious refreshments were served including: various cheeses and dips, a hot and a cold punch, cranberry, date nut and other such breads and many other creations in natural foods. At many points during the afternoon the room became so crowded it was impossible to see from one end of the room to the other. This is an annual occaision and judging from its enthusiastic response it will be repeated for many years to come. The room was decorated in the true spirit of the season with a special Christmas tree bedecked with ornaments handmade by various home ec classes.

How close we become attached - even though it’s just a place a record, a small, tiny part of a lifetime. - but it’s growing up. - the biggest phase so far. And to many its the hardest. To the rest it’s the last. but it’s like they say; “You don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone.” Shawn MacDuff 76 Every tree grows taller, Every life grows shorter. I look at you and smile, but the clouds slip out your tears. Every day changes, but they look all the same, i want to say too much, but time has passed so fast. As every life encircles your smiles and tears, Remember, i am always there, to take with you, the changing life we live. Vicky Camire 79 92 The snow begins to fall The yard is crowded with cars, people, and trees. Any other time of the year they are just ordinary spruce trees, but today they become Christmas Trees. Voices hover on the fragrant air, children giggle, and the trees whisper as they brush the ground on the way to the car. The brisk morning air paints noses and cheeks bright red, and shows its opposition to warm air by turning it white when they meet. A lady approaches me, looking for her perfect tree. I hold up one after another, awaiting her approval, doubt- ing that I will ever get it. ..“Oh, here’s a nice one, please hold this one up. Well, this is nice but...Oh, that tall one over there looks - no the top isn’t good.How about this one? Its nice, don’t you think Ed...Ed!Where are you?” .. “Right here.” .. “Don’t you like this tree? No wait. I guess the other one is better. How do you think that will be?” . “Good” .. “Oh, Ed,you’re such a big help. We’ll take this one... or maybe that one. Which one is best Ed?” . . “The tall one” . . “He doesn’t know a good tree when he sees one. A typical man. We’ll take the shorter one. Ed, take the tree to the car.Here’s your money. Good luck with your sales.” . . “Sure. Thank you and Mer- ry Christmas.” I emit a small sigh and look around for my next customer. Betty-Jean Eastman 76 93 Who Y Wfk ffit is -Co v'i'i q I - c AR.

For the next month the classes met in the auditorium rather than in the usual classrooms as the plays were discussed, cast, blocked and rehearsed,rehearsed,rehearsed. Each member of the class had either an active role in the play or else a job backstage and in some cases; both. The invitation was out and on December 15th children from Ayers Street School would trapse across the street for an afternoon of Christmas fantasies. As the date got closer, the tension and excitement built. Kids ran frantically around backstage trying to remember their lines and find their costumes and prompt a friend all at once. Finally the day arrived. Those involved in the plays got out of classes after IJ mods and hurried down to the auditorium to ready themselves. . . Yes the hour had finally arrived. First came the production of THE CHRISTMAS DREAM a story written by Theresa McGoff and turned into a play by the whole Dramatics class. The play was recieved with delight and genuine enthusiasm by the young audience. The cast of this play then mingled with the youngsters to enjoy the Oral English class’ production of CHRISTMAS IN THE FOREST. This play enjoyed the same warm reception as the first. It was a worthwhile afternoon, thoroughly enjoyed by all. 97 CAST: Teddy Bear Slyv Gaboriault Narrator Sue Hoag Santa Claus Gus Flowers Gates Nuttiekins Denise Campbell Wollypog Cathy Barnhart Angel Dream Council Sue Sanderson Children Randy McKnight Recorder Julie Welch Dream Master Theresa McGoff Grinch Kerry Claffey Mother’s Voice L.

The wheels start to spin, Then they catch, And he is hurled backward Into the path he has cleared for himself. He is now on the road V here the larger and taller have cleaned. Bigger are they. Yet never could they be so valiant. Where they need salt and sand, He treads on bare snow. And then he starts down the hill; His blinking yellow light Faaing dimly in the thick, hoary air. - Michael Rubalcaba 76 Creative writing class Like a garment nighttime wraps its chilling self about me.

SPAULDING NOW HAS A RADIO COMMUNICATIONS CLUB!...For years many other high schools throughout the country have had their own radio stations with their own students as its disc jockeys and broadcasters asn operators. This is the ultimate goal of the Radio and Communications club at Spaulding. Never in the past have we had such a club, perhaps because we never had the right person to get it started. Last spring Monica Jacques under the direction of Mr. Bevington inquired about the possibilities of such a club and this fall it got underway. A school the size of Spaulding should have ways to communicate with all of its members as well as the outside communities. True, we have the Sentinel and Our Echo, but it is important to involve all aspects of the media if it is at all possible. . .In order for Spaulding to set up its own radio station, it must first raise a heck-of-alot of money, which is what this years group is trying to do. They held a successful food sale which netted them 32 dollars. They also had a Harvest Dinner which pulled in 6 dollars. The food was good but - it was a joke - it failed due to a lack of preparation and advertising time. They have many other fundraising activities planned. It is a worthwhile project which would welcome new members and or donations to its funds. .. Another step in the process of securing a station is getting liscensed by the FCC. They have written a letter to them explaining the clubs plans. They have visited the WDEV station and begun reading the announcements over the public address each morning. Members plan to visit and talk in Boston and try to get their third class operators liscense. They’ve also sent a tape to WSNO. .. Among the tentative plans for their future are a dance at Spaulding and one at Barre Town, and a Las Vegas Night. .. This is an exciting new club and we hope it is able to reach its goals in the very near future. 103 Row 1 Row 3 J. Donevin C. Lemieux M. Royer R. Charbonneau Row 2 S. Longchamp M.Jaques D. Houle N.

Ryan, M. Harris, R. Russell, S. Parnigoni, D. Watson, M. Schini —— The Spanish Club has always been one of the more active clubs at Spaulding and the 75-76 school year was no exception. Under the guidance of Mrs. Mary Montague this group has planned and seen through a number of activities. They netted a total of 2 hundred dollars on their candy bar sale which they held in October and November. Nearly the whole school has memories of businessmen Michael Rubalcaba nd Michael Schini as well as all the other members pushing their wares during classes, study halls, lunch mods and any other spare minute that they happened to have. The bars were good though and hit the spot in many a boring class. It definitely was a successful endeavor. In December they had a Christmas party that was enjoyed by all. As they broke the pinata it brought back memories of their pinata two years ago that was so well made no one could break it - so they had to end up smashing it against the floor. They also talked about Chrismas customs in Spanish speaking countries and exchanged homemade gifts. Keeping up with an annual event they went Christmas caroling and sang many of the caroles in Spanish - a special treat to the Spanish speaking people in Barre. They also plan to have their annual Tasting Supper in conjunction with the French club and their third annual pickle sale, an event that never seems to go sour -! The Spanish club certainly is active, and they hope to have a scholarship to give for thier efforts. We wish them the best of everything. ‘f T .

The French Club, as always, has planned a very busy year. Their goal is to promote both the language and culture of French speaking countries. They are also interested in spurring students interest in any foreign language which can be seen by their involvement with the Spanish Club in the annual French-Spanish tasting supper which will be held in March. This event is filled the gaiety, splendor, friendliness and good food of both cultures. Another aim of the club is to raise money. The purpose of this is twofold: to have money for club activities and to give a scholarship to a deserving student of French. In order to accomplish this they have held a food sale, a French Fry sale (very appropriate), and a car wash. They will continue with an M M sale in February. On the lighter side of things they have held a very enjoyable Christmas party for all their members. The French Club is a hardworking club and a worthwhile one to belong to. . . It is highly likely that a vast majority of the student body will become homemakers at some point of their lives. An interested group of such stud ents belong to the Future Homemakers of America club which has the members of the home economics department for its advisors and Ann Maurice as its president. This is a busy club, trying to prepare themselves for an involved and rewarding car- eer as homemakers. They also explore the possibilities of careers in fields related to home economics. So far this year they have held a food sale, and sold lightbulbs to raise money. They had a drive for a Thanksgiving Food Bas- ket, gave a Valentines party to the disabled children at the Hedding Methodist church, as well as having an exchange supper with the Williamstown chapter of FHA. For pure enjoyment they had a pizza party and a sliding. Upcoming spring events will include a car wash, a bottle drive and a trip to New York. This will involve an exchange with a New York chapter of FHA. L-R 1st Row: Mrs. Pellerin, Donna Rogers, Miss Wood, Mrs. Plummer 2nd Row: Tammy Ou ette ( V. Pres.)

They played their first tournament against St. Johnsbury Academy which proved to be a good battle for all. In order to win a seat on the club’s competitive team a student must first win in the club tourna- ment. This tournament is a good training program in which the champs get in shape for matches against other schools. A tournament with rival Montepelier is always an eagerly anticipated event which, according to one member is an easy match, “...we usually whomp ’em.. ’. Also on the agenda is a possible three way match between Spauld- ing, Montpelier and St. Johnsbury. New members are welcome at any time. CHECKMATE...GOTCHA YA! 34ml 5lu4cnl Couao . With 31 members and 8 hundred dollars in its treasury, this years student council was apparently off to a good start. It is run by officers: Shawn MacDuff, Pres., Sue Bugbee, Vice-pres., Sue Manning, Secretary and Chris Fukuda,Treasurer. . The Student Council ran the concession stand at the football games this year and - did you notice its been painted?They also ran the annual Frosh Reception and Initia- tion which , as usual, succeeded in intimidating the poor, innocent little freshmen but otherwise was a good time. The Christmas Ball was held at the Auditorium for the first time in four years which provided a much bigger dance floor. .. For the Bicentennial the Council is purchasing a tree on Main St. with a placque on it. 2 hundred dollars will be donated to Camp Daybreak as well. Probably the greatest project any SHS Student Council has ever undertaken will get underway this year as they tackle the painting of the school’s cafeteria.They’d also like to fix the jukebox, buy picnic tables for the school yard, and possibly contribute towards the purchase of new curtains for the stage. They hope also to sponsor a Donkey Basketball game and a Winter Carnival. Hopefully they have not bitten off more than they can chew - to quote an old cliche - and they will be able to successfully complete all of these worthwhile projects. If they have enough money come June they also hope to award scholarships to deserving seniors. . The Council succeeds because of the people behind it. They are always open for new ideas and new ways to help or enrich the student life at Spaulding. They have helped bring an Open Door student to SHS for the second semestre who will stay with Monica Jacques. We hope that Angela likes Spaulding as much as we all do. - or maybe more ...!

Leading the pack is Michele Perreault chosen as President, followed by Mary Bellavance as Vice President and rounded out with Lisa Laliberte, Secretary and Rhonda West, Treasurer. With these officers and advisors:Mr. James Burt,Chairman, Paul Blow, Betty o Fadden, Jeffrey lssler, David Lamarre, Christine Martin and Jan Plummer they’ve started a few money raising projects. It seems they plan this year to be rather passive in anticipation for next year when they finally will attain the label of upperclassmen. They successfully held a candy sale and a bake sale in the . . fall. Two more candy sales are forthcoming. (I wonder these kids get fed at home - ?). . . According to President Michele they hope to have a car wash in the spring. The possibility of a dance often pops into the discussion at class meetings as well. . . Sophomores dominate the junior varsity squads in neai all sports. Some of the more athletically inclined members compete on the varsity. In sutle ways the c 78 has made themselves noticed quietly surging into nearly every club and activity in school and around the community. We wish the class the best of everything in the years ahead. v I N. Acebo G. Bagalio R. Barnes C. Abbiati J. Aubertin V. Bar co mb D. Aldrighetti J. Alexander . • B. Bailey J. Baldor r. Barnhart C.

This Year the Junior class is headed up by a group of responsible officers in Grace Kelly, President; Erika Johnson, Vice President; Judie John, Secretary and Chuck Finn, Treasurer. They are also helped out and advised by their factuly advisors who include: Charles Welch, chairman; Gene Baker, Wanda Pellerin, Laura Spada, Wesley Norris, Janet Shadroui and Glenn Tosi. . This class has been one of the busiest classes in the school, as they have both held and planned many activities. As with all classes, the major concern is making money. One of the first methods of raising funds is through class dues. In order to encourage more juniors to pay their dues the class has instituted a BLACKLIST. This list singles out those who have not paid their dues and denies them the privilege of attending the Junior Prom in the spring, should they neglect to pay up. . The class joined with the Senior class in preparing a Holiday Dinner during December. The main course was roast beef and ham. Although there were a few minor mishaps, the dinner was thoroughly enjoyed by all those who attended. . In honor of and out of respect for one of Barre’s leading citizens the class donated 100 dollars to the Robert Camire Memorial Scholarship Fund. . . In the fall they planned an extravagant fashion show which will be held in the spring. . But, of course, the biggest project to any Junior Class is the Junior Prom. Karen Flowers is in charge of organizing the gala event. A good many juniors would like to see ADAM as the band, but other possibilities are being looked into as well. The date for the prom has been set for the first Saturday in May. It promises to be an enjoyable evening for all who attend. We would like to wish the Junior Class the best of luck in all they do and to remind them that their graduation is just around the corner, so we hope that they make the most of their remaining days at Spaulding.

Those precious years when I was building castles must remain an everlasting memory For I am now those sand castles about to be plunged, into the vast sea.

Conducted alternately by Mr. John Prestone of Essex and Mrs. Julia LeBlanc of Spaulding, the group play- ed five selections, with a fiddle solo by Melody Mor- in of SHS. The violin solo in Vi- valdi's Four Seasons was executed by Alan Krizan of Essex. Clarinet solos in Percy Faith's Swedish Rhapsody were performed by Steve Sawyer of Spaul- ding and Lewis Racht of Essex. Beethoven's First Sym- phony, Offenbach's Ballet Parisian and Silhouette of Tara, rounded out the program. A parallel concert was hosted by Essex on Novem- ber 20 and 21. If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears however measured or far away. Thoreau CHORUS Chorale--Row 1: L.

What does it make you think of? - Temperatures well below zero - skiing at its best - frosted blue outdoor skating rinks that send you home for a scalding mugful of sweet hot chocolate - snowflakes cascading from the sky, no two alike, so soft to touch - little children sliding on weather beaten sleds with shiny redapple cheeks and sparkling eyes - babies bundled with so many layers they can hardly move - days when every school in the nearby outer world gets the day off, but not SHS - the Stowe winter carnival, a real extravaganza and its counterparts in nearly every town throughout the state - the Innsbruck flu and the excitement of the Winter Olympics - all sorts of forms and applications for seniors to fill out for colleges and financial aid - underclassmen registering for next year - the merry tunes of music, art shows, movies, poetry readings in dark and quiet coffee houses - smooching in front of an orange-blazed fire - midyear marks - toboganning - ice fishing - rehearsing for one-act plays - St. Junior Miss - and the world of sports opens a sizzling and exciting new season - wrestling matches, rifle meets, bowling tourneys, ski meets, girls and boys basketball games, hockey games - yes, its been a profitable and exciting winter sports season at Spaulding, just listen to the exhuberance of the cheerleaders. oooooOPQOOSS Motto for the Season: “Eat, drink, and be merry.” or was it eat, drink, and drive carefully”? No, it was “eat, drink, and take care of your legs. It was probably “eat, drink, but don’t let Sammy catch you. Oh, but the boys are so sweet, did you ever see so many empty sugar packets in Lum's ashtrays after a tide invasion? And when they say they’ll run Rice off the court they run Rice off the court. But seriously, did Mr. Pinard ever hear the ending to the cheerleader limericks? And did Sammy ever catch Mrs. Brice sneaking food on the bus? The cheerleaders would like to know why the cheerleaders from other schools always ask about 11. Just curious. . . . Sure am glad it didn’t pnow more the night of the Burlington game ■ what would the Tide have done, stranded in Burlington for the whole night? D.W., did you think D.R. was going to play without shorts? Those rides to Rutland were long; too bad Sam's bomb was allergic to Carroll’s. The Varsity boys thought they had problems- why those J.V.’s could hardly fight off the girls. Can’t remember the main attraction. . . The Tide fans really liked the refs at Burlington’s game. They yelled their first names the whole game. Funny though, they were both named Homer. . . One of the games of the year was Spaulding over Rice 81-80. But when Mr. Pinard was asked the following day his reaction to the game he said,“Oh, just another scrimmage. Just another scrimmage? Front: S. Conti, Back: Coach Pinard, D. Murray, K. Zorzi, C.

But a successful season can be seen in more ways than by just looking at the team record, if a team has good fun memories of the season than it was a good one. Well, this years team had plenty, such as: Yehoo Rinnie - Tuna ball - Erin?Erwin?Urin? Booth Relville - Scabby - Life of the party? - Have you ever seen Helen Keller s house?

Since we only won one fifth of our games this year it is obvious that most of the memories came from the closeness of being a team. Being on the Spaulding hockey team has always been and will always be a worthwhile experience. At the start of the season the “rookies” were given the usual initiation, each had to sing a carole- solo. This traditional event turned into a curse this year, although no one knew it at the time. Following the initiation these goodies happened: GB forgot his skates for a game .. MD misplaced 4 pieces of equipment .. Pucks were forgotten one game . .an 11 - 3 loss followed by a breakdown of Sammy’s bomb on the way home . . a 5 - 0 shutout - the 1st in SHS hockey history . .a 9 game losing streak, another Spaulding first .. Captians Moe LaCroix and Mark Dickinson tried every possible method and then some to get the team rolling, but the puck never seemed to bounce in our favor. Next year promises to be better though, as the team is loaded with talented freshmen and the JV is an excellent resource to tap. Many freshmen skated varsity all season and showed real spunk and hustle. . .Everyone learned to lose, which is an important experience in life and the few victories tasted even sweeter than usual. .With Kim Camire as scorekeeper, playing password on the bus, showdowns between Mr. Poirier and Gherardi, Dickinson and LaCroix, the team kept its spirit up and the season stayed peppy. . Good luck next year boys... 178 X ® t J M • ,v: .'• I UW7 ’ iff, ■«% ____ ONE SHOT ONLY AT EACH BULL National Rifle Association 50 FT. RIFLE TARGET (30 METER INTERNATIONAL SMALLBORE RIFLE TARGET REDUCED FOR FIRING AT 30 FT.) Match Relay Spaulding’s Rifle team is an often overlooked team as it does not use cheerleaders, or call for crowd participation. However it has been and is currently the Vermont State champion team and also has the boy’s individual champ - Alan Stone and the girl’s individual champ - Laurie Cassani. Riflery does not have a season’s schedule at all like that of most athletic teams. Its high school competition includes its archrival Northfield, and Bradford. They also compete against such powers as Dartmouth, MIT, Harward, Norwich, West Point| University of Alaska and others. They went on a trip to New Jersey this year to compete against the Admiral Farragut military Academy during which they stayed in a motel with a pool for 4 days. argei ‘age National Rifle Association OFFICIAL lO METER (33 FEET) AIR RIFLE TARGET The team practices about 3 times a week and at least once a month at MIT. They worked hard to get to the top and through hard work they plan to stay there. The team manages to set new records in nearly every event with amazing consistency. But then there was the time that Laurie shot the ceiling....!.... The top 10 shooters from MIT will go to Arkansas from which the top 10 shooters will go to the Olympic trials in Phoenix. It is also possible to get to Phoenix directly without pretrials through invitation. Sam Hutchins, Laurie Cassani, Tino Broginni and Alan Stone have been invited to Phoenix. Others on the team who are projected to make it at least as far as Arkansas are Alan Gregoire, Chris Newton and Scott Mears. Who knows - this year Spaulding may be represented in the Olympics....best of luck, shooters and ali - babba... 2 Spaulding Bowling team? Ask many students and they will say that they’ve never heard of it. This is largely due to the fact that it has generally failed to recieve much if any coverage or recogni- tion. The fact, however is that for seven years SHS has fielded a bowling league with numbers growing larger each year. This years group has about 30 active members with Lea Lesure of the Bowling Lanes as their advisor. Each Tuesday a bus picks them up behind the school at 3:oo and they cruise down to the lanes on the Barre-Montpelier road - provided that it doesn’t break down as it did on one occasion this year. They regroup each week into teams of four and compete against each other. Many other Vermont high schools have this same arrangement. Spaulding bowlers went to St. Johns- bury on March 13 for the regional tournaments where Mike Jewett took a first place in the Men’s competition and Elaine Sprague took a third in the Women’s. In April the year comes to its peak with an awards banquet at the Barre Elks club. This combines members from all over for such awards as MVP and highest scorer. L-R 1st row: M. Murphy, S.

Food Trades is active in Community Services, we have parties and make birthday cakes for those patients in the Berlin Convalescent Center. At Christmas time we planned a party for the Montpelier State Department of Educa- tion. On January 16, for the Vocational students aid fund there was a buffet danceat the Barre Elks Club. Our class catered the food for this fund raising affair. On Sports Banquet night we sponsored a dinner for the players, parents, and the coaches, which was prepared under the direction of our Advisory Board Member, Mr. Bonacorsi. 183 Our future Jr. Miss....? I Can't Say No! Clowns are people too... I AM WOMAN... this was the theme of this year’s Junior Miss Pageant. It is not a beauty pageant as the girls are judged in 5 categories: Scholastic 15%,Judges Interview 35%,Poise and Appearance 15%,Physical Fitness 15%.and Talent 20%. Although it is indeed a competition, all of us became close and were glad to lend each other a hand. On one occasion we all ate at Howard Johnsons before a rehearsal. It was really a good time. On Nov. 29 rehearsing came to an end and performances began. The twelve girls involved were: Bonnie Brown.Laurie Cassani.Cheryl Choinard,Candy Jacques,s.Ann Lajeunese.Pam Magoon.Theresa McGoff.Joy Wadkins,Monica Jacques-Miss Congeniality, Shawn MacDuff-2nd runner up, Sharon Abbiati-lst runner up and Sue Hoag-Junior Miss. It is nice to remember what last years Vt. Jr. Miss said:...“..the winner is not a victor over you but a representative of you.. ’ The Vt. Jr. Miss was held Feb. 22 at SHS. 8 girls from thru out the state competed. The winner was Libby Davis of Springfield who also won the talent . Sue Hoag of Spaulding was 1st runner up and Leita Marshall of Windsor was 2nd runner up. Sherry Dempsey of BFA was chosen Miss Congeniality. •)here the clouds are hung for the poet 's eye... .... have this friend,M om.... Ladies and Gentlemen: CHER! Our Echo 1976 has tried to be as unique and as good as is possible. Co-editor Monica Jacques speaks for the entire staff when she says - “We apologize for any mistakes that may be in the book. We had a very small staff to work with and we all worked very hard to make this yearbook different and interesting for you - the reader.” Yes the staff was relatively small and we had deadlines all the time which meant many long hours every day after school, on weekends and during vacations in order to meet them. Some of the work was tedious and we often got to the point of complaining about every little thing and picking on each other. But no matter how rough it got we stayed with it. Lisa Monahan - Co Editor and Layout Editor Monica Jacques - Co Editor and Activities Editor 1 Tamy Tomasini - Co Art Editor It has been an experience, one we all agTee has been the most gratifying of our high school years. Maybe its just a matter of pride. We began on the first day with the intent of making this Spaulding’s very best yearbook ever and we truly believe it is. There are mistakes but they are clearly overshadowed by the creativity and ingenuity that went into this book. This required talents in many different fieldsiphotography, art, writing, layout and many more. We’ll all remember losing the Math Club page - spilling hot chocolate all over - scraping the bottom of the glue jars - exposing entire rolls of film - uncooperative faculty and students - the day the darkroom turned red - and the words Final Copy stamped on the last deadline of all. We’ve had fun and learned enough to outweigh any problems we encountered. This is everyone’s yearbook, filled with the Dreamers and the Dreams - may they last forever...

A- 0 Julie Thiverge - Photo and Darkroom staff Mike Rousse - Photo and Darkroom staff Steve Miller - Photo and Darkroom staff Chris Bergeron - Photo Staff The Echo Business staff is the devoted group of students who work hard all year to dig up the money necessary to produce a firstrate yearbook. Most people just don’t realize just how costly it is to produce a yearbook. This year we added the color section at the beginning which added considerably to the expense. The fee each person pays for their book is a mere fraction of the cost of producing the book. Therefore it is very important to have a good, dedicated business staff in order to keep the cost down as much as possible. This year’s staff is advised by Mr. Skillin and headed by Editors Dick Wobby and Don Murray. Even though their work is not seen as much as that of the production staff, it is equally important.

In the fall of 75, he rounded up all the other students who went to either Girls or Boys State and the project began. The committee members also included: Sue Manning, Anne Craige, Karen Fumagalli, Sue Hoag, Jane Morale, Jane Woodruff, Robin Belville, Nick and Tom Conti, Chris Fukuda, Moe Lacroix, Mark Dickinson, Sam Hutchins, Roland Vigneault and Mike Schini. They all worked very hard to make this government program as interesting and informational as possible. The project began with 2 assemblies the week before Feb. vacation and got into full swing the week after. Students were allowed to run for city, county, party or state offices. Everyone was encouraged to participate and nearly every student held some office. The state officers included: Becki Minoli - Governor, David Maurice - Lt. Gov., Chris Bailey - Sec. of State, Linda Giroux - Sec. of Treasury, Dick Wobby Attorney General and Don George - Sargeant at Arms. Although there were some problems and occaisional apathy, the overall reaction was very good and the program should continue. I'd stand on the stage, but for various reasons (my height) I won't. Project Go produced many choice quotes. For instance do you remember these....?

Throughout the year, the Sentinel covers the many events around school, from sports to dramatic activities. Although self-supporting, the Sentinel manages to stay one step ahead of its creditors. This year the Sentinel hopes to enter the Quill and Scroll competition for high school newspapers. It has been a long time since the Sentinel has won an award in this competition. All the students of Spaulding are given ample opportunity to contribute to the Sentinel. This year, even more than last year, students other than those enrolled in the journalism class have contributed material. The Sentinel is ready to be the voice of the student body when they are ready to use it. The Varsity S Club is made up of members from all sports and band who have earned a Varsity S. ‘It was headed this year by President Lori Cam- ire, Vice-President Denise goodnow, and Secretary-Trea- surer Becki Minoli along with Mr. Maiola as faculty advisor. They all have shown loyalty and devotion to the team club. Varsity S is very active and interested in raising money for good causes. In the fall they sold “Keep the Tide Rolling” buttons and sold $1200 worth of ads for the fall sports program. Also in the fall, they organized the assem- bly to show field hockey and soccer skills. With some of their money they bought warm-ups for the Varsity Basketball team. With the approach of winter, they held their annual Christ- mas Tree sale with trees from Mr. Bohn’s tree farm. They also sponsored the first an- nual Spaulding Invitational Christmas Hockey Tourna- ment In the dead of winter they brought magic to the school via the Volcan Magic Show.

They were hoping that the world would never see such a war again. But World War II re-activated the ambulance corps. After World War II the AFS ambulance corps decided that action had to be taken to promote world peace and understanding. The group met and founded the AFS in it’s early stages. Since it‘s founding AFS has grown in spirit and size. In the Barre area AFS has been active for quite awhile. This year the student chapter officers are Theresa McGoff Pres., Diane Perreault, vice-pres., Debbie Hayward secretary, Claire Savard Treasurer and Karen Flowers Program Chairman. Miss Christine Litchfield was club advisor. Theresa McGoff spent this past summer in Colombia. She and Kai Rodiger from Berlin Germany will give speeches about their respective experiences. Among other things, the AFS weekend in March will be sponsored by the Barre chapter. Also the club will have a radio day at WSNO.

Actually, we have the bight and cheery face of Angela Ballotti joining our ranks. She is staying over on Maple Ave. with Monica Jacques who discribes Angela as the “...grace of a Brazilian woman.. . Through her experiences with Angela, Monica now plans to go to Brazil this summer and stay with the Ballotti family. At home Angela would follow a heavy schedule of Biology, physics, chemistry, mathemat- ics, world history, physical education, art, religion and Portugese as well as German, English, linguistics - these classes meet on a revolving schedule rather than every day. Angela had never seen snow before her stay in Vermont and describes the summers in Brazil a very hot. The girls are apt to be seen on the beach wearing tangas -string bikinis, and the boys in little French suits. They have much larger and more sumptuous meals on a regular basis than we do. Angela is a very friendly and smiling person who has many, many stories of great intrigue about her homeland which she has captivated us with. We wish her the best of luck throughout life. . . . and then we have Kai. The American Field Service has brought us Kai Rodiger from West Germany - you know, the place where they drink beer in great mugs all day long. Actually, Kai is a quiet student but-a sometimes rowdy person. He may be a quiet student because he doesn t really care for school, he would much rather be doing something else. Kai is staying with the Robert Hutchins family in South Barre and will graduate with the class of 76. His hosts find he is a nice guy to live with but they also notice that he is inclined to eat a lot - well he’s still a growing boy. Kai is a person who states his mind, whether his opinion be popular or not. He does not like military systems and cannot approve of hunting as a sport. He is an outdoorsman and likes to cross country ski. He also likes to read quite a bit and has bought a lot of books here. His main interest is animals. He notices a lot of differences in the lifestyles of the Germans and the Americans but says that basically all people are alike. He has enjoyed his Vermont life and we are glad to have him with us.

DID YOU KNOW ...that MacDonald's now offers an 11.36 Grammer ???...0f course it is better known as a Quarterpounder. - The main project of this years edition of the SHS MATH CLUB is to educate the school in the ways of the metric system. Soon, it is inevitable that the United States will fall under the clutches of this perfectly dreadful system -(which just happens to be used all over the world)- and when this event occurs, the Math Club is in hopes that Spaulding will be armed with lots of little conversion factors - the necessary battle weapons -. They have tried to illustrate their point by strategically positioning posters in the halls. These posters are loaded with converted speed limits, prices, heights, weights and numerous other goodies. Not only are they educational they are bright, cheerful and eye catching pieces of art.

Any student who is enrolled in any business course on the high school level is eligible to join. The main purpose of the club is to provide the members with business related community activities as well as social activities and community service projects. Fund raising also plays a major role in the club's activities. This year the FBLA has participated in the following educational activities: The Youth Leadership Conference at Castle- ton, the Eastern regional FBLA Conferen- ce in Baltimore, the State FBLA meetings in Randolph and Leadership Conference in Burlington and the National Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C. The club has also had a successful fund raising year through the efforts of food sales, candy sales, car washes, candle sales, calendar sales and the selling of school pennants. In order to participate its other activities, it is important for them to raise money. The club likes to have a good time and to be together as a group. The ideal solution? - parties of course! They have one for nearly every occassion:Halloween, Christmas, Sliding, Skating, Sugar on Snow, Swimming and of course a big End-of-the-year bash. It is obviously a very close club and a worthwhile one to belong to. S. Gaboriault-Tres., C. Gattone, R. Greenough-Sec., R. Belville. Row 3: R. Hutchins, C. Finn, B. Grenier, F. Corey, D. Murray, C.

Therefore, members of Interact attend the Rotary meetings at noontime on Wednesdays. Likewise the Rotary club has an Interact Advisory panel. Although these clubs are affliated, they have two major differences. The first, obviously is the age of the members and the second is that while Rotary does not allow women within its walls. Interact does. Interact along with the Key club sponsored Halloween and Christmas parties for the special education class at Lincoln school, which proved to be a good time for all. They also held a car wash but ah. . . They didn’t seem to get too wet, did they. . ? They also held a bottle drive in an attempt to raise some money for future activities. Meetings are held on Monday nights at 7:00p.m. - Funny how they seem to leave their houses at six... oh, by the way - the club would like to know Do you have to work next Monday night Joanne?. . . and Ruth, whatever is going to happen when the season is over. . ? Interact held a Thanksgiving dinner at the Open Door. Too bad more members didn’t open their doors - it really was a worthwhile project • and a good time too. Another money raising endeavor was coatchecking for the Fireman’s Ball. Members all showed good attendance for that one . . . right, Tamy. . ? Yes Interact does like to fool around and have a good time, but they are indeed a service club and they involve themselves in many worthwhile projects. Mmd The KEY CLUB is one of the many service clubs at Spaulding. A service club is one which uses both its own assistance and its money to help others in and around the community, excluding themselves. Their activities emcompass a very broad range and are widely appreciated. Earlier in the year they joined forces with another of our service clubs. Interact in order to bring a bit of fun to the Special Education class at Linclon school at Halloween by giving them a party. This effort went over so well that the two clubs did it again this time bringing the warmth of the Christmas spirit to these children. The club has held both a school dance with music by the Davis Brothers Garage band and a bottle drive in order to raise money for its many projects. During the fall sports season they acted as ushers at football games and hosted the officials, teams, and press for the Division I championship game which was held at Spaulding. Likewise, they became involved in the winter sports season by running the consession at the boys home basketball games. Along with their regular activities the Key club is responsible for the raising and lowering of the school flag each day. In the spring they will hold a spring cleanup of the school grounds and possibly a car wash. Graduation time should see the Key club granting scholarships to deserving students as well as donations to such things as the Echo. Gherardi, D. Patterson. 208 What is Art?Oh, well its, ah you know paintings and stuff.... On March 18 the Spaulding Art Festival opened. Yes it did include paintings in nearly every imaginable medium. But it included so many other art forms the average person could only gasp and say “Now why can’t I do that? Students were represented from grades seven through twelve and the departments besides Art included Industrial Arts, Home Ec, and music. During the course of the evening music was provided by the SHS music groups, both vocal and instumental and refreshments were served by the home ec classes. Many art objects were marked with ribbons to indicate placement in the State Art Exhibit in the near future. The art show is the one time when the work of students of a multitude of talents can be seen all at once. It is definitely worth the time it takes to walk through trying to soak in everything. . . , ,, W' -• ' - I ' ‘ v V)' 1 r I aA' „- a, dQQo 3 o o o OOP Oy)Q QQ o - N Q yrrr yi hi yNE AC.

It was an exciting and interesting night of topnotch drama. Three student written plays were among the 4 presented, while all plays were student directed. The directors were Mary Sawyer with Duet in Masque, Theresa McGoff of the Circus, Tanya Guatney and Lisa Sorrentino of Rainbow’s Bend and Sue Hoag with Voices. Lighting for the evening was done by another student Kerry Claffey. Refreshments were provided by the drama club whose many members assisted with sets, costumes, makeup and sales. All plays were very well done and the judges had a tough decision to make. They came up with Tom Gomez who starred in both The Circus and Voices as Best Actor and Jeannine Brault of Voices as Best Actress. V oices was declared the winning play. It went on to district competition and placed 2nd to U32. “So ends the act but the show goes on. You are always welcome at The Circus, the circus of human emotion.” Theresa McGoff Written and directed by T. McGoff Lights by Kerry Claffey Is All the world really a stage?It has been said many times. In Duet and Masque, the two leads of a show discuss nearly every topic of ordinary conversation, occasionally assisted by their prompters. As the play progresses, the viewer begins to lose track of which is the ‘real’ character and which is the actor. We are given a final twist at the end when we find that the rehearsal was the play. Our are lives merely plays being directed and prompted by some outside force? Think about it - if its in your script...

It was a first effort in the dramatic field for both Lisa and Tanya. The play was written very well giving the viewer a full feeling when he finished seeing it, a feeling that had to be thoroughly digested. Some of the ideas presented in the play seemed to go over the heads of inattentive viewers. Vicki Booth was excellent in her role as ‘piano player’ playing many old Beatle tunes at various interludes throughout the course of the play. Julie Thiverge added comical highlights to the evening in her role as ‘mother’, at times one felt she would demolish any one who chose to disobey her and at others her down home friendliness was almost contagious. Scott Campbell had a difficult role which included some pantomine. He was more than adequate for the job. Monica Jacques got a chance to display her dancing talents and Tom Conti, Joy Wadkins, Norm Rouleau and Lesly Jorgenson all did fine jobs in their roles.

Remember the Laughter - being caught in between with a few pages filled and Noon almost here We had conquered - and enjoyed. Sparkling songs - brought in on the wind, ringing in our ears suddenly we were the Big Names, Big Faces, with nearly filled notebooks It was afternoon and the Sun lived within us we’d conquered Life and shared Love. Dreams and Memories, now - Are we so Big - after all? Our pages are dancing in the wind Erasing Themselves and Nighttime is approaching fast, and what have we conquered, really? We are filled with powerful dreams, smiles, - and tears and we’ll live here now as Memories. But the Stars we’re reaching for will guide us as we head down the road to Fresh Beginnings for we’re still so small. 226 CLASS Theresa Holland, President Bonnie Brown, Secretary OFFICERS Karen Law iss, Vice President Roberta Russell, Treasurer Kim Barcomb Karen Alexander Chris Bailey Kevin Bailey 229 Joanne Beach Chris Bergeron Jane Benoit Tammy Bean Robin Belville Joe Beaudry Gary Begin -V' Tammy Beede Rich Bowen Kathy Breer David Brooks Bonnie Brown Richard Brusetti Linda Bubar Karen Bugbee 232 Lori Camire Denise Campbell Ross Card Janet Cahill Cynthia Carrier Gary Cayia Dianne Chaloux Lori Camire Eileen Casey Lisa Casey Laurie Cassani 233 234 Ron Christie Tammy Cilley Elizabeth Cookson Kerry Claffey Tom Conti Jamie Constatnine Tom and Nick Conti Nick Conti 235 I Frank Corey Phillip Copping Joanne Couture Matt Couture Cathy Couture Cindy Couture 'Kathy Crete 236 Cathy Crosby Greg Cummings Lorraine Cusson George Delano Timothy Davis Paul Danderand Nancy Davenport Janet Cyr 237 Dawn Denko IL Lee Ann Desmarais Guy Ducharme Dan Dickinson Theresa Dufrensne Mark Dickinson John Drury Zenda Doyle Martha Dion 238 Beth Dunbar Chris Duquette Patty Farnham Natalie Farnham Paul Fitzgerald Bonnie Ennis Debbie Erno Sherry Duranleau Betty Jean Eastman 239 240 Chris Fukuda Sylvia Gaboriault Bill Gage Mark Gherardi k.J% Grace Gallo Kathy Gattone Don George Jane Gable Lisa Giannoni Karen Giacherio Brad Griffin Robin Greenough Gloria Graves Denise Goodnow Lynda Giroux 242 Denise Goodnow Nick Giordano Susan Gomez Sharon Girard Danny Giroux Lynda Giroux Debbie Hayward Brien Griffin Rose Marie Groleau Debbie Hayward Tanya Guatney Larry Hatch Ray Hartson Rodney Hart Carol Hatch Randy Grover Tanya Guatney Ronda Hart Theresa Holland Terry Harding Sue Hoag Diane Hedding Joanne Henry Nancy Hunt Diane Houle Susan Hoag Theresa Holland Vickie Hood Linda Holmes 244 r Lynn Huntington Sam Hutchins Candy Jacques Monica Lee Jaques Mike Jewette Chris Johnson Monica Jacques 245 246 Michael Laliberte 4. 9 Debra LaGue Karen Lamson Ann Lajeunesse Mike LaForest Slyv Gaboriault David Laliberte Bruce Lastra Kristin Lamson Joyce Langley Steve Levine Jan Larochelle Paul LaPerle Paula Larabee 248 Karen Lawliss Mike LeBlanc Nelson Lord Steve Longchamp Mike Lunt Michael Leonard Daniel LaClair Greg Lemieux Pamela Magoon Gene Manning Susan Manning Gail Marshall 250 Gary Mears William Meikle Donna Merrill Donna Merrill Bonnie Merchant Becky Minoli Mary Miana M Merle Miller 251 Lisa Monahan Johnathan Noyes Tom Nelson Lisa Monahan Donald Murry Jane Morale Dana Morissette David Morrie 252 Mike Ormsby Jane Morale Erin Parnigoni Louis Parker Albert Otis Ray Otis Celine Ouellette Linda Parent Dean Patterson Martine Pellerin Jeff Paronto Carol Perrin Bill Pomer Michel Poirier Charles Phillip Cheryl Perry 254 Ed Poor Jerry Poulin Jane Provost Carol Quinlan Cheri Randall Mike Rousse Robert Robbins Karen Robbins Rosie Richard Robin Rennie 255 Valerie Roberts Raymond Routhier Mike Rousse Norman Rouleau Dana Robinson Tye Robinson Joe Rochon Kai Rodriger Tanya Rugo Lynn Saia Tammie Royea Kari Stafford G.

Gradually we overcame our shyness and fears - we had arrived. ...and so we began our second lap as the fall of '73 approached. We quickly elected officers -Mike Rousse.pres.; Karen Lawhss.vice-pres.; Monica Jacques, secr treas; and Sue Gomez.reporter and went on to become a money making class...our endeavors included the cafeteria Hoaggie sale - a great success.a Christmas wreath sale and a few bake s les-we began to know a few of the upperclassmen and to get more involved in club activities... and of course there were the parties... who could forget them ? ..we had them at Paradise and number 6 and Jones quarry...among all the other favorite hideouts....it was the year of the ten speed bikes and bike hikes including a memorable one to Woodbury Lake...we loved to fight it seems even in the snow - at Bissons?...Theresa McGoff was chosen best actress on play night for her performance in The Man With The Flower in his Mouth...it was the year of the first Spaulding field hockey - they didn’t win a game but they had a good time in the process....and also it was the year of dedications - the Pendo Field and the Ynsuela flagpole as well as being the year that the band got their uniforms thanks to the efforts of the local Rotary club....yes it was a good year and our high school career was half Finally!...We were upperclassmen...Sept. 1974 and our last half had begun....we put our faith in officers:Mike Rousse, Karen Lawliss, Theresa Holland and Joann Trottier and got off to a roaring start...we hosted a dance at school with Stone Cross as the band which was to become the biggest money making dance Spaulding has ever seen...shortly after it however new dance rules were installed - the school was becoming more like a prison every day...these rules included one way door, advance sale of tickets, no smoking, basement patrols, only Spaulding students welcomed and no drinking...as Juniors we were now pretty important in the clubs, sports and other activities we chose to participate in...we were becoming the committ- ee chairmen and getting a piece of the action....Theresa McGoff became the first Spaul- ding student to write and direct a one act play in the annual competition - The Perfect Puppet was of excellent style..., sadly it was the last year of the Debate and Foresics team at least for a little while....Laurie Cassani made great progress in a ‘man’s sport’ - the SHS Rifle team....of course who could forget the hugely successful water mellon sale - it only lasted a whole week and we managed to make a couple dollars off the whole deal - it lasted through good weather and bad and altho’ we won’t mention any names there were a few people who managed to eat up a good share of the profits..oh well, it was fun..but the best of all was the memorable Magicle Mystery Tour - Our Junior Prom..we stuck to success with Stone Cross as the band and logged hundreds of hours of hard work...it was all very worthwhile, however and many people quickly agreed that it was the best prom Spaulding ever had...it sure wasL.it made use not only of the gym but also of the lobby and the halls...ans we had a right to be proud...it was r Senior Year. DREAM ON Four years merge blend, into one panoramic rush of many fragmented dreams. How can vividness become so dull and blunted in the years to come. We will reach For fadings faces lacking names - Identity. Diminutive details of voiceless events, lost in the stored on the shelf yearbooks, the music of the Prom, the sweat, the broken bones of a football game, and the worthwhile labors of club activities. We dream on; athletes of unscored goals, academicians of squandered time poets of unwritten rhyme, and they all dream of the triumphs earned. The dream echoes start afresh five, maybe ten years hence. All we’ll possess of now - will be dreams. Graduation, with its jaunty goodbyes from tear welling eyes. Farewells. Our friends whom we will see only on pages, doggeared from moist fingers We dream on, Each reminiscence belongs in its own sanctified niche in our hearts. The Increasing momentum of time creates vacuums, streaming, clouding the Fountain’s source. Cascades of idealists, young and daring.We will remember with remorse how they spilled out into a mundane existance to savor what life had to offer. Dreamers we will always be, living forever. We must, our dreams make everlasting archives to youth, love and life. We must Dream On. Pamala Magoon 76 76 SENIOR SCRAPBOOK...
