We were not the only Freshmen to get acquainted witli Upperclassmen, for this was also Principal Tirrell’s first year at St. Johnsbury. bor a few weeks we were a bit scared and shy, but time cured that. For class officers we elected Elsie McKee, President. Our advisor, of course, was Mr. Ranger. An informal get-acquainted party was given in our honor, by the Seniors. We had the traditional Orand March, led by two Seniors, Avis Hoyt and Marvin Sheffield. Everyone had a grand time and many new acquaintances and gay amours started. November: Many of us were quite thrilled when we attended our first formal, but quite sad as there was a restriction against the wearing of corsages. February: Snow flying and shovels flashing, we finished our very intelligent looking “Dumbo” (snow sculpture) and received second prize. Pretty good for Freshmen!! We also took part in our first winter carnival and did our best to spoil most of the ski trails. The king and queen of '46 were Stewart Gibson and Avis Hoyt. April: We were kept more than busy signing up for softball, baseball, and track. What energy!! We were also hoping for a date to the Sophomore Hop. Spring had come, and we were a little restless. June: At long last it came time for us to struggle through our first finals, and it was a struggle for most of us. But we all managed to pass our exams, and left good old St. J. with a smile—for now we were Sophs. 1946 ■ 1947 DEAR DIARY— September: As we went through the process of registering as sophomores, we walked on slightly more familiar ground. We felt all-knowing; there was now a class beneath us. We found ourselves in with older men—war veterans, that is. October: Sooner than we expected we were given a vacation of almost two weeks. This was not for good behavior—polio had struck the town. We attended the Hallowe'en party and we stared in amazement while dignified teachers performed foi us. Mr. Ritchie was elected by the class as our advisor and he helped us start our own class Outing Club. We handed over the reins of the class to our newly elected president, Richard Hale. December: Basketball games again have come into being and some of our 15 THE ACADEMY STUDENT sophomore-mate members were seen playing on the second team. January: We ushered in the New Year of 47 and we began preparing for the inevitable mid-year’s tests. Soon they were in the too vivid past. Our chapel periods this year have been too short and uneventful, but some of us have rejoiced at having a few minutes extra each morning for studying. February: The month of snow and winter carnivals arrived in due time. We began to plan our snow sculpture and to heap snow for it. We took first prize for our covered wagon, the symbol of the ’49-ers. Jane Ware and Dave Franklin were crowned king and queen. April: Spring has launched her attack in the form of Spring fever. Interest was renewed in track and baseball as Coach Slayton began urging recruits to give Hazen Field an up-lift. The stone benches in front of Colby Hall were again being occupied bv privileged Juniors and Seniors, and almost the entire student body tried to absorb as much sun as possible before classes. May: .April showers extended over into May and even until the night of the Sophomore Hop. trying in vain to drown the festive spirits of the evening. Even with the odds against us our dance was a great success. June: Final exams crept upon us and we eyed them fearfully. The Seniors prepared to leave us and we looked anxiously toward the next vear when we might be upper classmen and no longer be wise fools. 1947 - 1948 DEAR DIARY— September: School has opened again and we feel important. We are Juniors with the timid Freshmen gazing at us in respect. We sat on the revered stone benches. The class held elections and Marguerite Collins is our president. Miss Counsell has the task of being our advisor. We tried to beat L. 1. this year; but the game ended in a tie. It’s Hallowe’en time. Who could miss the faculty stunt. This year our teachers took the part of naughty school children. December: Football games are over, the boys are practicing for basketball. Snow fell, we sang Christmas Carols in Latin and dreamt of the two-weeks’ vacation before us. January: Today we finished mid-year exams and now pray for good results. Our little French friend, Henri Martin, was adopted and we now are sending him food and clothing. February: The mornings have been cold and it has been hard to transport books to school. Winter Carnival time has come again. How we worked on the icy log cabin for the snow sculpture. There was skiing, dancing, and much fun! One Friday night after a basketball game, we gave a dance complete with hot dogs and candy bars. April: Here and there the green grass appeared above the grayish snow. 16 JUNE 1949 Spring had come. We were singing louder in glee club with Mr. Messier as director. North Hall was decorated with tish nets and portholes because our Junior Prom took the form of a ship, the S.S. '49. All was a success. May: Who wanted to study these days in May, watching the Seniors prepare to leave, going to baseball games, and walking in the sun. June: The final blessed day arrived. Clutching our report cards, we slowly walked home eager for vacation; yet, proud of being prospective Seniors. DEAR DIARY— September: Seniors now, we come find out different 1948 - 1949 lack thinking we know the ropes; we soon We elect David 1 .a Mar re they still have teachers!! class president and Mr. Twombly advisor. October: Our rugged football team under Coach MacLeod, really had L. I. eating out of their hands. The team handed them a one-sided 19-7 defeat. November: All the first-half year Mr. Ranger snowed us under with chapel speakers. December: With Santa’s bells beginning to jingle, we threw a gala dance and netted a small fortune (very small)! After that we hastened home for a much welcomed Christmas vacation. January: We hit mid-years and College Roard Exams with lots of energy, but they hit us much harder in return. February: The Outing Club was getting ready to hold prayer meetings, but fortunately snow fell, and rendered this unnecessary. Elsie McKee and Rit Hale were king and queen of the Winter Carnival. The Seniors (naturally) won most of the prizes. April: Nature was beginning to beautify the landscape, but the busy Seniors didn’t have time to notice this, because they were busy trying to sell ads to float the yearbook. Carolyn Cramton was selected aledictorian and Jean (lorham. Salu-tatorian. We wish them lots of luck!! May: A group of the elite St. J. A. students were sent to Burlington to represent us in the Vermont Music Festival. 1 hese golden-throated fellows and girls did a swell job and we’re proud of them. All the Seniors worked hard on their Latin-American Notebooks, but it was done in such a frenzy that we wondered how much was learned. June: After a number of ceremonies, some sad and some serious, we were graduated on June 13. St. Johnsbury Academy has gifted us with many pleasant memories and now we only look forward to our first class reunion. bv— Mary Hart Jackie Amidon Marguerite Collins David LaMarre 17 THE ACADEMY STUDENT CLASS WILL We, tlie members of the Class of 1949 of Saint Johnsbury Academy, in the county of Caledonia, Vermont, being- in comparatively good health and of fairly sound mind and cognizant of the approaching time when our happy school day bonds shall be broken, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament.

Class of 1949 Witnesses: Marilyn Thompson Margaret Bosworth Beatrice Camire Gordon Page Keith Spaulding 20 CLASS PROPHECY JUNE 1949 Introduction—We are deeply indebted to the United Federation of World Scientists for lending us their newest, extraordinary, stupendous, collossal invention, The Radar Futur-scope”. This amazing invention enables us to peer into the mysterious future to perceive the brilliant achievements of the illustrious class of ’49. When Miss Caroline Bailey, famous child psychiatrist, was asked recently to what she owes her tremendous success, she answered simply, “My success lies in the fact that I was once a child myself”. Peg Bosworth known to her exclusive clientele as “Pegine” has just announced the opening of her million dollar fashion salon, featuring her new creation. This beautiful serene blond from Peru has revolutionized the fashion world with her fringed jeans that can be converted into glamorous evenings gowns by the simple process of draping forty yards of gold lame material around the wearer, not forgetting, of course, to let the fringe show. Bob Sargent, head of the advertising firm with the famous slogan, “It you want advertising with a zest, come to Sargent’s and we’ll give you our best”, is slowly driving his competitors to ruin with his new and now famous “advertising-less-advertising”. His competitors say he is unfair, but the general public loves him. Mr. Sargent says his next step will be to start “commercial-less commercials” on the radio. Mary Hart, famous linguist, has recently returned from Egypt where she deciphered some private letters of King Tutti-Fruitti III, whose tomb was opened last May in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-nine. One of the first letters Miss Hart translated had to do with subscriptions. The letter was a request from a certain individual named Elwin Twombly to buy advertising space in a publication called “The Commencement Issue of the Academy Student”. It seems this Mr. Twombly needed some money to get this publication printed. Lorna Stone, famous tennis star of Garden City, L. I., has recently completed her world tournament. Miss Stone has managed to walk away with every tennis honor known. All sports writers agree that her fast, accurate serve and technique of making her opponents run all over the court, rendering them breathless, is the secret of her fabulous success. Bette Wheelock, wife of a chain-store king, has recently invested a small fortune in an independent newspaper in which she plans to tell the world about the private lives of private people. Keith Spaulding, famous television technician and inventor of the twelve dimensioned colored television screen, recently told reporters that he still strives to build “bigger and better ones . At the moment he is working on problem 123472-30-4BF which he hopes will bring, in flesh and blood reality, the famous stars of radio, screen, and television, into American homes. Mr. Spaulding states that the training he received from a certain Mr. Ranger has helped him in his discovery of distributing human cells, thus making it possible for television stars to be in every home at the same time, (haii-tastic, isn’t it?) Roland (Sib) Dumas, racer and daredevil driver, recently told the members of the Daring. Dashing, Dauntless Drivers Club”—quote—“I owe my success to a Mr. . Bixby, who in my youth loaned me his car. It was 21 THE ACADEMY STUDENT in his vehicle that 1 first raced at breakneck speeds toward destinations unknown; funny thing, though, 1 always ended up in Lyndonville!”—unquote. Our international flying correspondents, Dick Miller, dashing young photographer, and his famous wife. Elaine Mooney, who has astounded the world with her sensational news stories, has brought back an amazing account of the work of Betty McClure, R. X. and Arlene Holbrook, renowned dietician. They are revolutionizing the Eskimo eating habits with their introduction of Eskimo Pies. Nurse McClure hands out pink pills to pale patients, these being manufactured by the Pink Pill Tycoon, Charles Boivin, who has made a fortune in far-off Eskimo land since he discovered the secret formula for these powerful pills.

President St. Laurent is proud to announce to the nation that he now has a bubble gum that is guaranteed never to leave a filling in your mouth. Mr. LaMarre's only comment was “Pop”! Miss Paula Leonard, voted best secretary of 1969, is now in the hospital with a severe case of writers cramp. When asked the cause of this distressing malady, she told the reporters that she had just completed transcribing the memoirs of Jean Learmouth, famous author. The title of the book is to be Men 1 Have Known.” Mesdames Currier, Lumbra. Mann and Bates have just announced the gala opening of their ultra swank exclusive Maison de Mode. Mine. Currier is in charge of clothes that fit the personality, Mine. Lumbra will give you a new face, while you wait. Mile. Bates is in charge of the “Reducing to Music” department. The beauteous Mine. Mann serves as hostess and model for the establishment. James Blanc is in the brig for attempting to introduce progressive jazz into the U. S. Navy Band’s rendition of Anchors Aweigh”. This occurred at a review in honor of Rear Admiral Bernard Rancour. Miss Sally Mc-Cutcheon, America's favorite drum majorette, lost control of her baton when this unseemly event took place. Her only comment was “What Happened”? Marguerite Collins and Elsie McKee are running for governor and Lt. Governor of the State of Vermont on the Woman’s Anti-Saloon Ticket. Their slogan is “Water internally, externally, and eternally”. Gerald Willey, their campaign manager, says they will have a good chance to succeed if Burton Petrie, local soda jerker. will agree to forfeit his rights to make Atomic Zombies” the night before the election. Pauline Morrison, noted woman advertising agent, has recently announced the hiring of Glendon Moffett and Gordon Page, famous male models. Mr. Page will be seen as the scrawny 98 pound weakling and Glen as a satisfied muscle-bound patron of Atlas, Inc. Marnel Harran is in charge of the complaint department. Miss Lillian Nutter’s perceptive abilities won her the 1969 screaming man contest. The chief prize was a perpetual pass to the Los Angeles Fire Department where she can hear the siren blow any time she wants to. The screaming man was non-other than that well known forty-niner. Robert Dumas. For his work he was awarded a box of Greenwood s Gastronomical Cough Drops. The proceeds went to bail out the class of '49 from its financial difficulties. Says Dumas— It was a worthy cause.’ JUNE 1949 John Tirrell has signed a new contract to replace “Spike Jones”. John says “the same old jokes will he told”. Jane Tillotson has contributed her newest composition, “Chemistry Blues.” Miss Cramton is the author of the feature “Killing the Classics”. Courtland Goss sends a dozen rather stale eggs to the first performance along with his congratulations. Cort says, “I always try to please my customers”.

Sports Flash:—Ritty Hale has just broken all college basketball records recently in Madison Square Garden when he bucketed the amazing total of 263 4 points . . . Larry “Stretch” l’erry, star of the Kalamazoo Striped Socks is conducting a school of sliding and base running. Says Mr. Perry, “I owe it all to MacLeod’s rigorous training. Ronnie Crawford bas just signed a $50,000 contract with the Montreal Canadians. He is the highest paid star in the National Hockey League. Ken Robinson lately returned from Antarctica where he discovered the eleventh radio-active element. When asked how he did it, he replied “I don’t know, just lucky, I guess.” He left his colleagues, Joyce Atherton and Richard Willoughby at Glacier Manor. The former is engaged in teaching Russian to the penguins. Willoughby, noted penguin fashion designer, is introducing new look sports wear to the penguins. Pat Boylan is now residing in Reno so that she won’t have to make the trip back and forth. She just can’t seem to make up her mind. Jackie Amidon has just left for Paris to take up a position as superintendent of a knitting school. She is to teach women how to make sweaters for their poodles. She will be accompanied by Velma Urban who will give French lessons to the French. Paul Roy, the mathematician, has shocked the world by his unusual theories. He believes that higher mathematics should be forbidden. His reason, The higher you go, the less you know”. His scholarly fiancee, Margaret Emmons, has just been awarded the Nobel Prize in Science for proving that C39A (XYZ)57-|-Ca306??? Dottie Weeks has succeeded the antiquated Dotty D’Amour of the movies and is now combing her waist long tresses to match her sarong. Katheleene Cote and Joan Ronnett are employed as personal hairdresser and wardrobe mistress, respectively. Miss Irene Bullock has succeeded Mr. Victor Bixby as Driver Training teacher at St. J. A.

She and her husband are residing in a two Quonset hut on the campus. Helen Clothey and Aline Williams are nurses in lower Slobovia while Donald Wood is a mortician. They work under the slogan of “We slay them, and he takes them away”. Buzz Stearns, Marilyn Moulton, and Nan Dean, co-owners of Sloward [onsans, are slowly driving the Boston brand of Howard Johnson out of business. 23 THE ACADEMY STUDENT Jean Gorham and Kay Hubbard have graduated from L. I. for the third time. They like the atmosphere. Miss Gorham is contemplating retirement because of the extraordinarily long hill. Kay will still carry on. Jo Chamberlain is proprietress of a Gentleman's boarding house in New York. The gentlemen must be between the ages of 16 and 36. Carolyn Wood and Janice Courtney are known as “Chamberlain’s Chambermaids.” Jayne Simpson and Beatrice Camire have just completed a long run on Broadway, and are now running for cover. Mike Whitaker, prominent political leader, has founded a “Society for the Prevention of Socialism.” Jean Colby and Ellen Powers were charter members. Miss Beverly Stone and her “Violent Violinists” are touring Transylvania with a new selection of Be-Bop. Miss Patty Fitzpatrick is soloist for the group. Accompanying them is Miss Ernestine Turner, who is financing the trip. Doris Spiller, that personality plus girl, is the inventor of the new No-stick lollipop”. Mothers all over the country are sending congratulations. We add ours. Pat Desrochers, Leo Pillion and Lorraine Gosselin have pooled their funds to inaugurate a chain of fruit stores in Siberia. The hope to clean out scurvy and vitamin deficiencies there by this move. Richard Cutting, the chemist, has discovered a new process for making paper out of old pine cones. For this the state of Maine has awarded him $5.000—and a gold medal. His Secretary, Peggy Pellerin, is being kept busy picking pitch from pine cones. Janet Bailey and Rachel Schoppe are the two highest paid tobacco auctioneers in the South. Their efforts have been rewarded by a southern accent and fourteen carat gold cigarette. No comment.

Peewee Christman is the only woman in the world ever to win every single award at the Olympic Games held this year in Higher Slobovia. When the reporters asked her how she accomplished this amazing feat she stammered “Shucks, it was easy; I was the only contestant.” Bravo, Miss Christman. Nancy Dean Lillian Stearns Rachel Schoppe Dorothy Weeks John Tirrell Glendon Moffett 24 JUNE 1949 CLASS POEM I WALK SEDATELY I walk sedately through these familiar Halls today. Walk quietly and remember my Life here. I touch a time-scarred desk, Recall a face, relive a memory. What will I remember? Barbaric pageantry Of football games, a concert’s swelling Majesty, the Junior Prom or some blithe Deviltry? My friends — will I remember them — Will they remember me? Or are we Doomed to dim obscurity? And into my sadness there comes a Thought of peace. For here, enshrined Forever by these hallowed halls, a Portion of myself shall live — Until eternity. And when, in the days to come. The death bell of time shall toll, I’ll echo the snatch of an old School song, in the chapel of my soul. —Kay Hubbard 25 THE ACADEMY STUDENT y Class Song of 'Y9 WOrJ lmic CaroUyn c-r-rv -rv-v-, o tnjn rifrj Avr To t lit) f X J I J 1-ij-J H —i ' f r r ijj r r rj r ¥ f t .r f f 'Ct • 7 r? r-rr- , v U r f'f : r r r,r U r : , r f : f-iJi 4i wt tr - o L Iftwn Tii ro J ol I itm each ♦ - Tar Y r, 5 — Pt 3f l f� r To «y� I s7 Uff 109 T •Y r r r l os Titf uJ Jy f T J 3 1 ; f £ t-r r,i f ±y J i’ J - f X r t t r s wfwf w � TVulfcs w«uf «� � |l ? • f f � � 7 jT dc4 r — Oh k;( 26 rT' JUNE 1949 uHere We Are, We Come From Near And Far” 29 THE ACADEMY STUDENT JACQUELYN LOUISE AMIDON St. Johnsbury, Vermont Honors (1.2): High Honors (3); Glee Club (2,3,4); Student Board (3.4); Chairman.
