CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT: David Flanders Vice-President: Janet Ingram Secretary: Colleen Ford TREASURER: Carol Lowrey — 46 — THE LAM P 1955 Cla ss Prophecy Flash! We have just received an official communication that the Class of '55 has done it again. That’s right, the Class of '55 has succeeded with an experiment that is out of this world. Let us first give you a brief history of this great undertaking. Rocket Ship XXX. made from Bissell's Bus. was designed by the celebrated Neil Sphynx” Loyson. Several members of the Class of '55 played a vital part in planning the first trial run to the moon. Claire Boulanger, after receiving her HN03 degree at Harvard, was selected chief chemist. She mixed water with the gas and conducted exhaustive research on mufflers. Herb Benoit put the Hollywoods on the Rocket. Ralphy Anne Chamberlain, the multimillionaire, kindly donated the engine from his Chrysler, on the condition that the rocket be painted red and white. The four ringleaders of Brantview: Baxter. Johnson, Kask, and Keery have also rendered their talents. Bashful Bax kindly consented to freeze the pipes. Blushing Barbara, the Bronxville Babe, has started a stained glass window factory, and presented two of her finest windows for the cause. Slippery Jan, after many attempts, finally managed to abscond with the bell from Brantview to enhance the sound of the ship. Linda the Bradford Bum, took over the tedious job of washing and painting the ceiling. (P. S. They were found to be yellow.) Albert Scoop Dunn, water boy. carried cold water to newly-wed pilots, Captain Robert Ernest Ren-aud and his radiant bride Jeannette Rice. The original pilot. Bob Fournier, was unable to fly, since he was caught in a haybailer on the Whitehill farm. However, he went along to feed the cow that jumped over the moon from experience gained in the Passumpsic Region. Mugsy Fontaine, with his left hand men. Baby Face Crepeault and Scarface Loydsie Wheeler used sawed off shotguns to ward off space pirates. Photographers Flash Flanders and Charles Fingers Page, just graduated from the Golf Links Photo School, were on hand to get shots of Venus and other heavenly bodies. Of course, for publicity sake, a few daring passengers ventured on the first trip, and were made comfortable by attracti 'e air hostesses. Dotty Garfield and Sylvia Guyer. Miss Louise Baraw, competing in the Miss Beautina Purina of 1965 Contest, went along to campaign. Bob Copp and Phyllis Goss, after running up a few little Coppers, took their second honeymoon. We hope this didn't create too much Gossip. Last, but not least, the able Red Cross staff, consisting of nurses Marion Stone. Beverly Shaw, cared for the sick. Nancy Fournier, former hot rod driver, piloted the rocket out of parking places. Unfortunately, she had a small accident—one of the fins got smashed. However, despite these minor difficultes. Rocket Ship XXX arrived safely on the moon. The first sight which greeted them was Gary Sizen sizen’ up the moon maidens. The virtuous members of the expedition, knowing how infested our world is with crime and vice, decided that the moon would be an ideal place for a new civilization— a Utopia. The product of these master-minds, the beautiful town of Senior-ville, rests placidly in Green Cheese Valley, occupied by the chosen few—the graduating Class of 1955. Let's take a trip down the main street of Seniorville in Hopeless Hap LaPoint's tourist bus. Oops! What have we here? Oh, it's ex-Street Commissioner Tim Mahoney sweeping the gutters. He threw a green cheese wrapper into the road and lost his job. Shirley Sumner is at his side, polishing the man-hole covers. Oh, oh! While looking at Tim, she polished Speedy Dave Warden's bald head by mistake as he was coming up for a breath of air. He's been up to his neck in work all day. but he says he likes the atmosphere, as it reminds him of the mighty Passumpsic in his home state. Meanwhile, Joan Goss sits patiently on the curb waiting for her ride home. On the right hand side of the street is the Gagne-Lowrey Reducing Saloon, run of course, bv the — 47 — THE LAMP 1955 Senior Elections Did most for St. J. A.

I he petition then goes to the headmaster for recommendations and to the Student Council to be accepted. Twenty names are chosen for the school to vote on and from these ten are elected.

Friday morning everyone piled into buses and cars and treked off to Lyndonville where the skiing and tobogganing events took place. There Sharon Cole. Junior, and Dave Flanders. Senior, won top ski honors. I hat night the Academy triumphed over B. F. A. in a basketball game and at the informal dance which followed. Byron Butterfield was crowned Cupid.” On Saturday the snow sculptures were judged and the skating and snow-shoeing events took place. That evening a group of tired but happy dancers watched breathlessly as Lorraine Gagne, in spite of two sprained ankles, and Tom Waterman ascended the throne to reign over the Sno-Ball. I he climax of the Carnival was the awarding of the coveted Snow Sculpture cup to the Junior Class. — 70 — THE LAMP 1955 — 71 THE LAMP 1955 — 72 — THE LAMP 1955 — 73 — THE LAMP 1955 Front Rou.': B.

Dickens' Christmas Carol. presented the week before Christmas, was a tremendous success and Bernard Landry portrayed a hilariously gruff Scrooge. After vacation and the mad rush of Mid-years, our thespians began rehearsals for their next effort, the “Cradle Song. This two act play presented the humorous aspect of the problems which arose when a convent of Dominican nuns adopted an abandoned girl. Kay Coburn played a fine lead. In Chapel on May 16, the Dramatic Club performed scenes from two comedies and two tragedies, Arsenic and Old Lace,” Harvey,” Death of a Salesman. and Wingless Victory.” The Club has done a fine job this year. — 76 — THE LAMP 1955 First Row: L.

The club is opened to any students who are interested in photography. The primary purposes of the club are to further one's knowledge of photography and to put it to use. Although it is one of the smallest clubs on campus, it certainly does a large job. Of the many services of the club, perhaps their motion pictures are most popular. At every school function, the members are present to record the events on film, for a future showing. The club takes photographs at all the annual dances. This year they have assisted The Lamp by taking some of the pictures. We wish the Light and Shadow Club many more successful years. — 78 — THE LAMP 1955 first Rour. (I. to r.) Kask. Whitehill.

To be eligible for membership, a senior must obtain a position in the upper quarter of the class and must have attended the Academy for at least two years. The faculty elects the members. The National Honor Society requires that a student show an overall excellence in scholarship, an active participation in school and public service, the ability to take upon himself group leadership, and the constant maintenance of high moral and personal standards. Each incoming member is presented a gold pin. an emblem standing for hard work and study. It is a great honor to wear one of these pins. 79 THE LAMP 1955 Lefi to Right: C. Loyscn, C. Cowan. C. Perry.

We have an exceptionally fine organization for a school of our size. Of course, much of the credit is to be given to their excellent director. Norman Green. They started off the year with a Christmas Concert at the South Congregational Church on December 8. The same concert was repeated on December 14 at the Grace Methodist Church and again on December 1 7 for the student body. On April 28 and April 30 they held a joint concert with Lyndonville. The Academy, as usual, was well represented in May at the Burlington Music Festival. The big concert of the year, Commencement Concert ' was held June 10. The Junior Singers, a group of Freshman girls also under the direction of Mr. Green, have also contributed greatly to our concerts. — 83 — THE LAMP 1955 — 84 THE LAMP 1955 Orchestra Faculty Advisor Mr. Messier Vich-Prf.sident Robert Copp Treasurer Thomas Lawson President Gwendolyn Henderson Secretary Phyllis Goss Librarians Nancy Goss Sue Binson Managers Lee Hackett Norman Renaud Under the fine and able direction of Mr. Messier, the orchestra had another spectacular year.

In May, the orchestra sent four of its members to the All-State Festival at Burlington. The orchestra had more people in it this year than last and it is quite apparent that as they grow in quantity, they grow in quality. — 85 — THE LAMP 1955 86 THE LAMP 1955 Band President Robert Copp Secretary Gwendolyn Henderson Librarians Vice-President Phyllis Goss T reasurrr Norman Renaud Managers Dorothy Remick.

Mr. Messier began the Band practices in the summer for their first performance of the season at the Shrine Football Game in Nashua. New Hampshire. They made a good showing and this was a fine way to begin our season. Hindered by the loss of last year's Seniors, the band played for the pep rallies and football games for practice. The members got a lot of enjoyment out of this and didn't get too discouraged at the scores. With the hard practice over, December found our Band paired with The Town Band in a joint concert. The Barbershoppers and Barberettes also lent their talents to make this concert a success. On March 26 and 27. the Band journeyed to Exeter. New Hampshire for their annual concert with the southern school. The following week-end we played hosts. Both Bands had wonderful trios and made lasting friends. During All-State on May 5. 6. 7. some of our members were selected to participate in the Blue Band. As usual, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the time and also got well tired out. — 87 — THE LAMP 1955 — 88 — THE LAMP 1955 — 89 — THE LAM P 1955 90 — THE LAMP 1955 — 91 — THE LAMP 1955 — 92 — THE LAM P 1955 Fo otball Captain Tom Waterman Assistant Coach Frank Ryan Coach Henry Majkut Manager Elwin Twombly.

On the morn of September 7. the chapel bells once again welcomed a new school year, and despite a few unwarranted comments to the contrary. I'm sure we’re all delighted at the prospect of meeting new teachers and friends. Most conspicuous of the chapel crowd of course, were the confused Freshmen and the new High and Mighty' Seniors. As is the usual custom, Mr. Twombly. our headmaster, introduced the entire faculty in chapel. This year five new teachers have joined us: Miss Margaret Minehan (Soph English), Mrs. Virginia Johnson (Girls' Phys Ed and Physiology) , Mr. George Loriol (who. incidentally came to America with his family from Lille, France, as an exchange French teacher), Mr. Henry ( Hank ) Majkut (Boys’ Phys Ed and football coach), and Miss Agnes Shaw (Home Ec.). Welcome to St. J. A.! The second week was one which we Seniors have eagerly awaited for three years—You guessed it! Frosh Hell week. If we studied half as hard as we worked planning the affairs of the week, I'm sure we'd all be high honor students! The minor tortures ranged from the wearing of teabags (dangling gracefully from the cars), to the latest in men's sportswear, shorts over trousers. Only males wore makeup, the black checks on the first floor were used, and the usual tribute was paid to the Honorable Thad-dcus Fairbanks, The climax of the activities fell on the eve of Friday, the 17th. after a spontaneous pep rally, when the less co-operative Freshmen were punished in the customary manner (complete with a corpse) by a jury of several Seniors. We coronated Paul LaBounty official King of Freshman Week in a throne of cold water. The pigskin season began September 18. when our own Musical Plumbing Hilltoppers under the leader-ership of Captain Tom Waterman, played a hard game with the Burlington Sea Horses, but alas, we lost 13-0. Our dampened spirits were enlightened. however, on the rainy Saturday of the 25th when our boys won over B. F. A., 20-7. The Academy students be- gan working diligently on our annual magazine drive on the 28th. This year one of our many brilliant Academyites came up with a brainstorm. Why doesn't the losing class be slave for a day to the class selling the most subscriptions? I really must run now and sell some subscriptions so our class can come out on top. OCTOBER My goodness but time flies! Here's October already. The Academy is still diligently at work selling subscriptions for our magazine drive. Everyone turned out for our first home game with the Montpelier So-lons. Even though we were defeated 36-6, it was quite an exciting game, and our school spirit really showed up! Just for kicks, Diary, let's take a quick trip around our fair campus after school hours to see what goes on. There are the football shirts sprawled all over the front lawn, and over in front of Fuller Hall. Those cute cheerleaders are really hopping under the direction Tilt and Twirl 103 — THE LAMP 1955 of Lorraine Gagne and Phyllis McKee. Carol Lowrey and her attractive crew of majorettes are over there on Brant-view lawn, twirling their batons for the usual crowd of spectators. Of course we mustn't forget the main reason for all this activity, our big, brawny football stars practicing on Hazen Field. Our magazine drive is over, and we Seniors are hiding our faces in shame. Somebody goofed! We actually have to lower ourselves and play slaves to the Juniors. Despite this revolting development, the drive was a great success. We went over our goal. On the 9th, the Hilltoppers journeyed to Burlington where they were defeated by the Cathedral Little Indians. 20-0. Brrr! It was really cold that day. Old man Winter is on his way. Again we were beaten by the Galloping Gaels of St. Mary’s by a score of 33-0 on the 16th. That well-known epidemic. Six-Weeks Testitis, spread throughout our halls once again, but somehow we all managed to survive. On the 23rd. our team really creamed the Newport Hawks, 26-0. The St. Johnsbury annual Kid's Day began the morning of the 27th in the Trade School gym with speeches by prominent Kiwanians on good citizenship and our future responsibility. Then we 'kids’ really took over the town and had a grand time of learning about the functions of various city offices and businesses. The very best part of October to me. Diary, is Hallowe’en Skit Night when our students and faculty (especially our faculty!) have a chance to display their talent and wit(?). The Freshmen presented a clever satire on TV and movie stars. A Hollywood premiere, in which various Hollywood personalities including Marilyn Monroe portrayed by Freddy Badger (WOW!) was the contribution of the Juniors. The Sophs acted out a real old time movie. We Seniors (naturally) were the greatest! We did a takeoff of TV wrestling matches with our usual subtle and dignified humor, which incidentally won us first prize. The faculty’s skit was all in rhyme. Dressed up like characters from Mother Goose, they acted out nursery rhymes. (You should have seen Simple Simon Warren peddling pies to Mr. Ryan.) Mr. Hamlet John was official narrator. Everyone had a grand time. Congratulations to the Sophomores who won the first prize, the jack o’lantern, for all around sportsmanship. October surely was a busy month, Diary, so I must get a little shuteye (joke?) before November rolls in. NOVEMBER Our team has really been practicing hard for the biggest game of the season with our rivals from that metropolis to the North. Lyndonville. The weatherman sure picked a horrible day for the game, too. It was so rainy and cold on the 6th that we could hardly see, but our boys worked as hard as ever, even though we lost 14-6. I’m glad to see our Academyites exhibiting a lot of school spirit! On the 1 2th. the Juniors had their revenge as winners of the magazine drive, while we poor Seniors traveled around school in outlandish apparel (Girls wore boys' shirts and ties, boys applied makeup, etc.). On the whole, we behaved very well, but that’s the last time we’ll let anything like that happen! We Academyites had a real treat on the week-end of the 13th! We've been waiting impatiently for weeks! To get to the point, we traveled all the way to a foreign country! Bishop’s College school of Len-noxville, Quebec, played host to us. and I'm sure all who were fortunate enough to be there, share my thoughts that it was a beautiful place. (Even the weather cooperated beautifully.) After an exciting game, (which we won 24-13) we danced and had a spot of tea' Canadian style. What a day, Dear Diary, but I enjoyed every minute of it! We were hosts off and on, along with the rest of St. Johnsbury to four men from the countries of India. Pakistan, Iran and Egypt. Seems as though we re pretty lucky over here! Tips from a traveler 1 here’s something new here at the Academy that I think you should know about. Diary. One of our new dorm students, Steve Finner of Miami. Florida, started a dance band at the beginning of the year, and they're really doing fine. The Blue Saints’ is their name, and they have helped us tremendously at school affairs. Congratulations for a grand job, boys! Our annual Parent's Night fell on the eve of the 17th. You know, when Mom and Dad come to find out how young Murgatroyd is doing, etc., etc. Entertainment was provided by the Blue Saints and — 104 — THE LAMP 1955 ROY SHERBURNE D.

Fortunately. Thanksgiving vacation came up just in time to give our exhausted student; body (and faculty) a nice rest. Not for long, however, as six weeks tests popped up again right after vacation. What a life! Goodbye, Diary. See you next month. DECEMBER Well, dear diary, December finally came with much anticipation and a basketball scrimmage at L. I. Our Hilltoppers practiced knocking the rest of Vermont through a loop. Golly you should have seen j the crowd at the Joint Benefit Concert on the evening of the sixth.

Basketball season started with an all-round game in the Trade School gym when our Hilltop-pers beat the Lyndonville Big Reds (traditional rivals) in a 50-30 victory. Good work boys! Both teams played a fine clean game. The very next night the Jayvees and varsity were packed (stuffed) into Bissell's streamlined paddy-wagon, and with a hearty send-off sped to Newport to play another game. Alas, those Newport birds, spoiled our unbeaten record and defeated our staunch Hill-toppers 50-31. Woops! Don't look now but rumors are on the wing that Big Tom’s shush-boomers have donned their long-johns and taken to running. Well diary, the time has come to speak of other things— namely Christmas vacation and at last 1 can, with a feeling of self-satisfaction, shove my books into my locker to gather dust for two wonderful weeks. The school doors closed after a final joint concert by the school's Glee Club and band. Only one more problem confronts me—that of my financial embarrassment — please Pop! So long diary. I’ll leave you to recuperate until I return to rouse your dusty pages next year in 55.” JANUARY January began very quietly, Diary. Our students showed signs of weariness. Too much holiday festivities. I guess. The Hilltoppers, however, continued in full swing. The team first traveled to Burlington and dropped one to Winooski, 57-48. Bob Fournier was high for the Academy with 15 points. Still on the road, the team again went to Bur- Back to work! lington where they played their poorest game of the season, bowing to BHS 72-19. Next, the Hilltoppers played host to Spaulding and lost 69-23. High for St. J. was Bernie Whitcomb with 16 points. Back on the road, the Academy journeyed to St. Albans where they dropped a squeaker to BFA 36-32. Whitcomb’s 10 points was high for the Academy. St. J. played their next game at home losing to Cathedral 80-45. High (scorer for the Hilltoppers was Bernie Whitcomb with 1 7 points. As one can see, the Academy did not do too well as they were playing against teams much bigger than they. But Coach Jacobs and Coach Ryan deserve !a big hand for the fine job they have done. The ski team is in the news, also, dear Diary. They had a practice meet with Lyndon Institute January 8. which they lost, but while turning in a fine performance. On January 22, against Montpelier and Newport, they came in second, Montpelier being the winners. Good luck to Mr. Stowe and the boys in the future. Near the end of the month, nearly everybody had a case of — 106 — THE LAMP 1955 Compliments of Philip R. Ransom M. D. Compliments of Howard J. Farmer M. D. Compliments of BENJAMIN CLARK M. D.

But as usual everybody pulled through in good health and we were able to have a fine turnout for the Sophomore Hop. Winter sports was the theme at this gala affair, and everyone had a grand time. Bye now. see you next ! month. FEBRUARY February has been the busiest month so far. here at the Academy. and it has left everyone [utterly and completely exhausted. Basketball is still going j strong as the Hilltoppers began this month's activities by playing host to Winooski. St. J. dropped it 63-32, as Bobby, Gervais hit for 13 points which i was high for the Hilltoppers. Next the Academy played the Montpelier Solons at home, and lost 48-36. Making up a previously cancelled game, the Hilltoppers traveled to Montpelier where they dropped their | second game in a row to the Solons, 64-39. Playing their third game that week. St. J. returned home to face BHS. [ The Academy lost. 84-50, which was an improved performance as compared with their 72-19 loss to the same team less than a month ago. Their next game found the Hilltoppers on the road again as they traveled to Barre to face Spaulding. We lost by the fairly wide margin of 70-35. Then the Academy returned jhome and played a terrific game, as they defeated BFA i 51-40. Bob Fournier’s 19 points was game high. Continuing in their winning ways, the Hilltoppers played host to, and beat, the Newport Hawks 61-55. Bob Fournier was j high scorer again with 21 Compliments of J. EMMETT O’BRIEN M. D. Helen B.

St. J. took to the road once more, traveling to Burlington to play the Cathedral Little Indians. It was the Hilltoppers' best game of the season, because when the whistle blew, the score was tied at 56-56. The game went into overtime, but the Academy finally got scalped. 64-59. Bobby Gervais hit for 19 points which was game high. Back in St. J. for the last home game of the season, the Hilltoppers defeated Trade 62-45. Bob Fournier was high scorer with 19. February is skiing's big | month. Our skiers placed third in the state meet, as Tom I Waterman captured both the | downhill and the slalom crowns. Since they were third, the Academy was eligible for the New England Meet which they attended on February 19. jat Farmington. Maine. The jSki Team did not do exceptionally well, but we are all very proud of them for going as far as they did! We have a genius in school at long last. Diary! Mr. Stowe, (with the help of his famed Science Club) has invented a monstrous contraption known as Stowe’s Snow Machine.” When demonstrated in chapel, it had us all spellbound by the colored lights and other gadgets, and when it didn't work, Mr. Stowe relieved the tension by kicking it with all his might, whereupon it immediately resumed action. Finally, great clouds of fine, white mist fell lightly from the catwalk. Mr. Stowe claimed that the success of his invention could be attributed to a newly discovered element known as Stowium. Perhaps this is the reason for all the snow we've had here lately. The highlight of the year, our annual Winter Carnival. Compliments of John A. Swainbank Dwight D. Hussey Co., Inc.

Also on Thursday, obstacle races and a tug-of-war were held on Brantview field. Friday we all journeyed to Lyndonville for skiing events. As our best skiers were up in Maine participating in the New England Meet, much of our undiscovered talent was unveiled. The seniors racked off as Dave Flanders won the jumping and boys' slalom. Judy Baldwin took girls' downhill, and Don Moffett won the cross-country. Other winners were Louis Longo. boys' downhill, and Sharon Cole, girls’ slalom. Tobogganing also took place. The ski lodge provided entertainment for the less courageous of our group, who watched TV, sang, and ate. BFA was no match for the Carnival-jubilant Hilltoppers as they went down in defeat 51-40. Bob Fournier racked up 19 points, which was game high. Following the game, an informal dance took place in Fuller Hall with music by the Blue Saints. Byron Butterfield, much to the surprise of us all, was coronated Cupid with a paper bag. A rather hectic Saturday morning followed, as deadline for the snow sculptures was at 1 :00 P. M. Skating events took place in the afternoon and were taken by the juniors with Freddie Badger doing a beautiful job cutting the ice. Snow-shoeing followed the skating events, and again the juniors were victorious. The climax of the Carnival, our Sno-Ball, began at 8:30 P.

Congratulations, juniors! Worn out from the weekend activities, we trudged reluctantly back to school the following Monday to finish up a wonderful month in this school year. MARCH Well, as the old saying goes, dear Diary, March came roaring in like a lion. Alas, the shosh-booming school directed by Hans Warren has ended, and how we shall miss it! The Hilltoppers played their last game of the season on the eve of the first. Our fellows played a great game against our old rivals from Lyndonville, which resulted in a victory for us. As the final buzzer rang, the score stood at 67-49. Recreation for Youth” seemed to be the main topic of discussion around town (and especially around the Academy) during this month.

Of the several discussion groups for the purpose of bettering this region, one on recreation and youth interested i Academy students in particular. Dr. Wilson and Judge Downs spoke first, and then several adults and Academy students gave their ideas on the situation. Mr. Jacobs acted as moderator. The second Saturday in March brought two events— one good, and another not so good. The good one was a ski trip to Mt. Mansfield, sponsored by the Recreation Committee. (Mr. Jacobs and Mrs. Johnson formed this committee by choosing two girls and two boys from each class, and their purpose is to remedy the lack of social and athletic spirit among our youth.) Unfortunately for the Seniors, College Boards were given on the same Saturday. Later in the month, I saw a number of husky gentlemen jogging to Hazen Field and back in their comely sweat suits. I also noticed some boys throwing javelins over at Brantview, (?). It looks as if we’ll have a grand track team this year. On the 17th something unexpected happened on 2nd floor, Diary. As I went upstairs. I noticed several boys and teachers with mops and pails, and the drinking fountain was making like “Old Faithful,” leaving 2 inches of water on the floor. The afternoon of the 17th began a very welcome ten day vacation. Apparently everyone had a good old time, and returned to school to rest up for a while.

Badminton, our rainy day” sport, is also in the news. Diary, and the final tournaments took place near the end of the month. Congratulations to Tom Waterman who was chosen for the All Star football squad! One Friday night while I was walking by the gym, Diary, I heard a commotion and someone yelling Grab your Partner!” so I decided to peek in. Lo and behold, there were dozens of Academy-ites having a time of their lives square dancing. It looked like so much fun that I joined them, and had such a wonderful time, that I hope Mrs. Johnson sponsors many more of the same. April ended with the annual Spring Formal at Brantview.
