Our Echo 1387 Spaulding High School 155 Ayers Street Barre, Vermont 05641 Volume 63 Camelot: Then and Now Long ago in England’s dim, dark, legendary past, there were many small bands of warlike people who were constantly fighting with one another over small territories. They were ignorant, rude people who were unable to live together in a peaceful society. However, through the patient efforts of King Arthur and his followers, they were eventually able to set aside their dif- ferenes and become a unified country. The people adopted a code of morals known as chivalry, and were no longer quite as unpleasant as they were before. The English started to sense mat they were part of a country that was special. Soon, England was able to gain the respect of other nations. The united people grew wiser and stronger. Finally, the Round Table was formed. Knights from all over the country made up the Table, a democratic body whose purpose was to make England's people happier, and the nation stronger. They called their country s capital Camelot, and even after its un- happy demise, it was still remembered reverently in legend. The Class of 1387 has built itself its own modern day Camelot. Remember seniors, way back when when we were nothing but lowlfe freshmen? We were every bit as disgusting and rude as the medieval Englishmen. Yes, wherever we freshmen were, there were sure to be sprtbalLs, french fries, loud screams and obnoxious giggles in the air. It took us quite a while just to get out of our little clans: the people from St. Monica's, SCS and Barre Town. As for working together as a group, the only things we could make together were a lot of noise and a mess in freshman hall. Other classes traditionally despised us and taunted us with freshmen on the floor and other chants. But if you can recall, we had become somewhat more civilized by the time sophomore year rolled around. We knew which side of the hall to walk down, and knew better than to be carrying fifty books with us at all times. Upperclassmen could tolerate us, and even became our friends. No more were we insulting to each other; we saved all that for opposing teams at sporting events. As a class, we were able to show an astounding ability to work together, as we managed to tie the seniors for first place in the annual Spirit Week hall decorating contest. Perhaps most importantly, we felt like we belonged. Many of us bought class rings to feel more a part of Spaulding. Lastyear, we finally earned the title of upperclassmen. We were an important class, second only to the seniors, and gained firmer control of student life. As juniors we took sole possession of the nail decorating title, and together raised substantial sums for our very successful prom. Now were seniors; certainly the classiest class at Spaulding High. We know the fine arts of survival which teachers to hit up for a pass out of study hall, which bathrooms to use to avoid severe smoke inhalation, etc., etc. Yes, we re truly in charge here; no one can make a move without the senior class. As seniors we work together better than any class, and showed it by winning the Homecoming float contest, and by sweeping every category in the Spirit Week competition. Most importantly, our class has instituted an orgamz£d, more democratic student council. Every class is fairly represented in the councils House and Senate, and as a result, Spaulding now has a more powerful student body. The council is our modern day Round Table. However, like Camelot of old, our twentieth century Camelot must have an end: on June 12, 1387, our castle of sand will be washed away by a change in the Crimson Tide, leaving the beach clean for future kingdoms. Welcome to Camelot 1
