OUR ECHO 1984 VOLUME 66 SPAULDING HIGH SCHOOL BARRE, VT 05641 1984 is a year made immortal by George Orwell. Al- though some of Orwell's predictions have come true, Spaulding High School is one example of a place where the human spirit can never be chained. 1 CONTENTS Student Life and Activities . . . . . .5 Academics . . .49 Sports . . .73 People . .105 The hallway smelt of boiled cabagge and old rag mats. At one end of it a col- ored poster, too large for indoor display, had been tacked to the wall. It depicted simply an enormous face, more than a meter wide: the face of a man of about forty-five, with a heavy black mustache and ruggedly handsome features. On each landing, opposite the lift shaft, the poster with the enormous face gazed from the wall. It was one of those pictures which are so contrived that the eyes follow you about when you move. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the cap- tion beneath it ran. He moved over to the window: a smal- lish, frail figure, the meagerness of his body merely emphasized by the blue over- alls which were the uniform of the party. His hair was very fair, his face naturally sanguine, his skin roughened by coarse soap and blunt razor blades and the cold of the winter which had just ended. Outside, even through the shut window pane, the world looked cold.
