The Lamp is the organization that gathers the material to make up this book—your yearbook.

The L amp — 53 — THE LAM P 1958 The A cademy Student T he Student, our school newspaper, is published five times a year. This year it has grown from four to six pages because of the wonderful support of our business advertisers. We hope you will patronize them as they have us. All five issues overflow with school news, sports, and creative writing from the students. This year the old standards have been joined by a new one— Athlete of the Month.” Co-Editors Sally Palmer Judy Bunten Assistant Editor Loren Phelps News Editor Clay Pole Feature Editor Business Manager Priscilla Cutting Don Gaskell Advisors Mrs. Lanphere, Miss Evanson, and Mrs. Moriarty — 54 — THE LAMP 1958 Science Club This year the big project of the Science Club is the Cosmic Ray Experiment. The members have been setting up the equipment, which includes six cosmic ray tubes, a coincidence circuit, and a recorder. Equipment will remain in use for one year to record data which will be sent to the University of Maryland. There, the data will be compiled with other high schools co-operating in this experiment. It is hoped that the result of the experiment will give the origin of cosmic rays in the universe. In their regular meetings, the students work in pairs to give demonstrations. These are both physics and chemistry experiments. Experimentation outside of club honors is strongly encouraged. The club plans to put on a chapel program for the entertainment and edification of the student body with emphasis on the former. I’m sure it will receive a big hand from the student body. — 55 — THE LAMP 1958 The Artisans This year the Art Club has had the guidance of a new teacher. Mr. Raymond Frey, who has proved to be one of our exceptional teachers. The Art Club has been busy right from the start of the year when they made pictures to exhibit for the dedication ceremonies of the Carl Ranger Hall of Science. For the Winter Carnival dances, the Cupid Dance, and the Sno-Ball, the members were very busy with decorations. The club has also worked hard to create dividers for the Yearbook, which turned out to be exceptional. Along with all these tasks, the club is constantly being asked to make posters for dances, movies, and just everything that comes along. We all wish the club the best of luck and success next year, and we just know that they will be as active next year. — 56 — THE LAMP 1958 D ramatic Club President Barrett Smith Vice-President Diane Russo SECRETARY Beverly Smith Treasurer Jean Rix Late in the fall under their new advisors. Miss Evanson, Miss Smith, and Mrs. Tandy, the Dramatic Club presented an enjoyable one-act play, None of Them Perfect during chapel. What Men Live By,” their second production, was given the week before Christmas. In early April our Thespians began their rehearsals for their next effort, Gramercy Ghost.” This three-act comedy takes place in Gramercy Park, New York. It concerns the complications which result from a young girl's inheriting a Revolutionary War ghost, and was played to a full house on May 3. The Dramatic Club has done a fine job this year! — 57 THE LAMP 1958 Debating Club The Debating Club has a most active interscholastic group this year. Each member has found debating very interesting and educational. The members who have participated in the debates with other schools have made many friends among their opponents. We opened our season with a debate on the American Youth's Physical Fitness, which was presented in Chapel. Soon after, we presented another debate on the curfew question in Chapel: and we also broadcast it on Radio Station WTWN. In the fall, nine members attended a forensic conference at the Marian High School in Barre. Five members of our club and our faculty advisor. Mr. Plummer, attended the Ninth Annual Inter-Scholastic Debate Tournament at Dartmouth College. The Academy team placed fourth in New England in this event, and we were very proud to have Miss Sally Palmer presented with the second prize for speaking in the novice division. Our teams later engaged in debates with Bradford, Braintree-Randolph, and Montpelier. In the spring, our teams presented a debate in Chapel on the national debate topic, Foreign Aid. On May 10, we were active in the state debating meet, which was held at the University of Vermont. Those who participated in the Debating Club this year were: Sula Rowell, Evalyn Goldberg, Linda Pike, Phyllis Pigula, Dan Clark, Sally Palmer, Howard Reed, Judy Bunten, Rayna Caplan, Margaret Steeves, Virginia Hinett, and Dan Gilchrist. We certainly had a very successful club this year, and we hope we may have an even more successful one next year. We hope all underclassmen who are interested in either debating or oratory will consider becoming a candidate. — 58 — THE LAMP 1958 Monitors’ Club Captain 1st Semester Margaret Steeves Monitors Rayna Caplan, Priscilla Cutting.

A petition presented by the student wishing to become a monitor must be signed by fifteen students, be presented to the headmaster, and finally come before the Student Council for approval. Twenty-four petitions are chosen from those presented to be voted on by the student body. Twelve members are chosen. This year two monitors have been added to the Club to take care of the new building. The Monitors' Club is designed to enforce the rules and regulations of the school and to see that the student body adheres to them. An excellent record has been set by all connected with the Club this year. -‘—59 — THE LAMP 1958 Student Council President Virginia Kumpf Secretary Diane Russo Vice-President Richard Smith Treasurer Howard Reed Faculty Advisor Mr. Pierce, Jr. Captain of Monitors’ Club Peggy Steeves Class Presidents: '58 Alan Donaghy '60 Gary Winch '59 Diane Russo '61 Bruce Johnston Members at Large and Representatives: '58 Rayna Caplan, Paul LaBounty, Ronald Lowell, Clay Pole, Jan Rix.

In October the Council sponsored the annual Magazine Drive in order to earn money for the Activity Fund, and in January the Council turned over to the March of Dimes a large sum of money, earned also by a dance. The Council also added to the entertainment calendar a Hallowe’en Party and Freshman Initiation. As well as the usual jobs of chartering clubs, etc., the Council has done many other things and this year has certainly proved to be a successful organization. — 60 — THE LAMP 1958 Varsity Club The Varsity Club is an organization only for those who have received a letter in some form of athletics. A student must be voted upon by the other members of the club in order to become a member. The Varsity Club has been very active this year in addition to its usual functions. In January, the club sponsored the Varsity Drag, a semi-formal dance at the Frank Adams School. The members hope to make this dance an annual affair. Also, in February, the club members collected money for the Heart Drive, turning over a large amount to a worthwhile cause. So, as you can see, the Varsity Club not only shows that St. Johnsbury Academy is well represented in athletic activities, but that our students also work for the good of the community. — 61 THE LAM P 1958 Girls’ Athletic Association President Nancy Weston Vice-President Ann iMcIvet Secretary-Treasurer Sara Reeves Program Chairman Michael Utton Class Representatives: Seniors—Anna Destroismaisons-—-Thelma Perkins Juniors—Mary Schoolcraft—Virginia Gadapee Sophomores—Marjory Brown—Virginia Martin Freshmen— I'he purpose of G.

It is solely a girls’ organization open to all the girls who earn five intramural sports points a month. — 62 — THE LAM P 1958 Light and Shadow Club President Howard Reed Vice-President Camp Scales Secretary Allen Donaghy Treasurer Richard Bisbee The Light and Shadow Club has done a very good job this year taking pictures at different activities, with the help of our advisor, Mr. Silipo. This year it raised money by selling programs at football games, which in turn was used to pay for film and chemicals used by the Club. Although the Club sometimes goes unnoticed, it is active and is doing a very important job helping the Lamp by taking informals. Plans are already under way for increased activity by the Light and Shadow Club next year. — 63 — THE LAMP 1958 Winter Carnival Committee The Winter Carnival Committee, a new organization, was created this year to replace the Outing Club, and its main purpose was to plan the activities of the Winter Carnival. Composed of six members from each class, elected by their classes, the committee was helped and advised by Mr. Ryan. This year, the student body enjoyed three days of activities including skiing at Lyndon Outing Club, skating at the Brantview rink, obstacle races, the Cupid Dance, the faculty skits, snow sculpturing, and the annual Sno-Ball. Let's hope that next year the committee will be able to have as much co-operation and as successful a carnival as this year’s. By the way, the Seniors were very proud and happy to be awarded the Carnival cup for winning the carnival!! — 64 — THE LAMP 1958 — 65 — THE LAMP 1958 Winter Carnival In forma Is — 66 — THE LAMP 1958 Winter Carnival In forma Is — 67 — THE LAMP 1958 Fr eshman Sing ers Freshman Singers, a group of about thirty girls, sing their own selections at Glee Club concerts. This active group practices every Tuesday and Thursday afternoons after school under the direction of Mr. Norman Green. This year the girls sang at the annual Christmas Concert in December: at the joint Glee Club concert with Rutland High School in April, and at the Annual Commencement Concert in June. Next year, these talented girls will join the Glee Club and continue their singing activities. — 68 — THE LAMP 1958 Glee Club PRESIDENT: Douglas Drown VICE-PRESIDENT: Kathy Pena Secretary-Treasurer: Carol King The Glee Club has come to the end of another very successful year. We have an exceptionally fine organization for a school of our size. Of course, much of the credit is to be given to our excellent director, Norman Green. The year's activities started with our first concert, the traditional Christmas Concert on December 20. On April 11, in Fuller Hall, a joint concert with Rutland High School was enjoyed. Then, on April 19, the Club traveled to Rutland for another joint concert. The trip was made possible through the earnings of a successful food sale and receipts from the home concert. As has been customary in previous years, the Glee Club was represented at the State Music Festival in May at Burlington. The big concert of the year, the Commencement Concert, ended the season on June 6. The Freshmen Singers, a group of Freshmen girls, also under the direction of Mr. Green, have contributed greatly to our concerts. — 69 — THE LAMP 1958 — 70 — THE LAMP 1958 Band President Vice-President Dan Clark Virginia Kumpf Secretary Treasurer Peggy Steeves Librarians Charles Boisvert Peggy Steeves.

New Hampshire for the Shrine Football Game, under the able direction of J. Leo Messier. The usual parades, pep rallies, and football games featured the band. Two On to Washington Concerts were played on December 1. and March 1. On March 27 the band traveled to Washington. D. C.. to participate in the Cherry Blossom Festival. This was a five-day trip and the band made a fine showing. A joint concert with Ottawa, May 10, gave the band a chance to show the Canadian band a good time for three days. Last year our band played in Ottawa. This was a return trip. At graduation the band played a concert that will long be remembered by the Class of 1958. —- 71 — THE LAM P 1958 Band Informals THE LAMP 1958 Band Informals — 73 — THE LAMP 1958 Orchestra Director—Mr. J.

Their first appearance was the Christmas Concert on December 21. Although there weren't any members to participate in the International Music Festival in Mount Royal, Quebec, or the All-State Music Festival in Burlington, they did travel to Northfield for a joint concert on April 25, and the following day Northfield returned the concert here. At graduation the Orchestra gave a memorable concert along with the Band and Glee Club. President Daniel Clark Secretary Harriet Johnston — 74 — THE LAMP 1958 Maj orettes These are the high-stepping girls you see throughout the school year leading the band in parades and pep rallies and twirling at the Band Concerts. T his year's squad consists of nine girls, most of them being new, having two representatives from each class and three from the Senior class. These girls have been trying hard to help raise money throughout the year for the biggest high light of the season, to proceed with the band on their trip to Washington, D. C. Good Luck! Congratulations to you girls for the swell job you are doing and will continue to do. — 75 — THE LAMP 1958 The Color Guards is a new organization started this year to be a part of our band. These boys are under the guidance of Mr. Messier, and made their first appearance with the band on their trip to Washington in the Cherry Blossom Festival Parade. The Color Guards carry the American Flag, the Vermont State Flag, and our new School Flag. There are also boys who carry guns. 1 his unit has improved the appearance of the band in parades very much this year, and we want to wish them the best of luck in future years. The Color Gua rds — 76 — THE LAMP 1958 National Honor Society The National Honor Society was established at the Academy in 1935. Only seniors are eligible, and they must be in the first quarter of their class. The students are elected members by the faculty according to regulations made by the National Honor Society. Members show excellence in scholastic ability, school participation, leadership, and the ability to maintain high moral and personal standards at all times. It is indeed an honor to be a part of the organization. The following were elected: Anita Brown. Judith Bunten, Carol Church, Daniel Clark, Roberta Dean, Paula Givanni, Albert Ouellette, Sally Palmer, Howard Reed. Mary Ann Sargent, Barrett Smith, Margaret Steeves, Ronald Tremblay, Donald Welch, Nancy Weston. — 77 —• THE LAMP 1958 — 78 — THE LAMP 1958 Cheerl e ciders These are the girls who have led the cheering for the Academy during the 1957-1958 school term. During the year they have contributed their time and energy to support the football and basketball teams and to lead the student body in their school songs and cheers. In the fall tryouts they were judged on many qualifications by three faculty members. This year the seniors and sophomores fill the cheerleading squad with equal number. The cheerleading faculty advisor is Mrs. Virginia Johnson. She teaches physiology and physical education for girls and has been a great help to the cheerleaders. The senior cheerleaders leave, wishing the football and basketball teams and the cheerleaders a great season next year.

The traditional football rivalry with L. I. was postponed because of the flu epidemic, but the weather held and 1,100 spectators turned out. St. J. was in the lead from the beginning for a score of 20-6. Ronald Lowell and James Nelson are being sent to the Shrine Football game, which will be held in Hanover, New Hampshire next August. The class of 1958 wishes to congratulate Coach Burlingame and the boys for an excellent season of football. St. J.— 0 Montpelier—13 St. J.—12 Spaulding— 7 St. J.—12 Littleton — 0 St. J.—32 B. F.

Coach Racenet has certainly done a fine job in getting the Freshmen off on the right foot and preparing them for their football years at St. J. A. The team should be commended for their fine display of spirit and certainly proved that they have the makings of a great varsity squad. — 81 — THE LAMP 1958 Varsity Basketball The Varsity Basketball team did not start out the season with too many victories, losing the first three in a row: but they ended up the season winning 1 1 out of 18 games. Coach Burlingame has done a great deal for the team this year: and with outstanding spirit, the boys played a good, clean game every time they came on the floor. The following is the schedule and outcome of the games this year: Dec. 3 Spaulding L 43-41 Dec. 10 Newport L 34-33 Dec. 13 Spaulding L 45-44 Dec. 18 T rade W 59-50 Dec. 26 Cathedral L 45-30 Dec. 27 Burlington L 63-45 Jan. 7 Derby W 61-33 Jan. 10 Sacred Heart W 52-37 Jan. 14 Woodsville L 75-55 Jan. 17 Orleans W 53-42 Jan. 27 Woodsville w 51-43 Jan. 28 Orleans w 64-45 Feb. 4 Derby w 92-40 Feb. 7 Sacred Heart w 32-43 Feb. 11 Lyndon Institute w 38-47 Feb. 20 Lyndon Institute w 46-35 Feb. 25 Trade w 53-50 — 82 THE LAMP 1958 Junior Varsity Basketball I he J. V. Basketball Team started the season with a new coach. Ernest Racenet, previously from Concord High School. I he team did not have very good luck in the games this year, winning only 3 out of 14 but Coach Racenet is looking forward to a better year next year. The boys certainly put their hearts into every game they played, and because of this they made a great team. This year's schedule follows along with the scores of the games: Dec. 3 Spaulding L 60-10 Dec. 10 Newport W 24-21 Dec. 1 3 Spaulding L 49-17 Dec. 18 Trade School L 29-25 Jan. 7 Derby Academy L 27-25 Jan. 14 Woodsville L 37-27 Jan. 1 7 Orleans L 29-27 Jan. 27 Woodsville L 32-27 Jan. 28 Orleans L 25-15 Feb. 4 Derby W 28-22 Feb. 7 Sacred Heart L 34-30 Feb. 11 Lyndon Institute L 32-13 Feb. 20 Lyndon Institute L 26-25 Feb. 25 Trade School W 27-25 — 83 THE LAMP 1958 Cross Country COACH—Raymond Frey The Cross Country team was a new sport at school this year and it proved to be a very victorious one. Co-captains of the team were Bob Johnson and Bill Grady, who proved to be very important figures in the victories. A record of meets for this school year is as follows: Sept. 20 Jericho High School won 21-24 Sept. 24 Williamstown lost 22-33 Oct. 2 Jericho High School won 24-31 Oct. 4 Waterbury won 17-38 Oct. 8 Burlington High won 20-35 Oct. 14 Enosburg Falls won 24-31 Oct. 21 Enosburg Falls lost 23-34 Oct. 23 Burlington High lost 21-34 Nov. 2 Vermont State Meet Runner up with 107 points Nov. 9 New England Championship Good luck next year! — 84 — THE LAMP 1958 Track COACH—Raymond Frey This year forty-four boys turned out for track practice after school. It certainly must have been hard choosing the candidates for each event, but it also answers the question why the track team has been so outstanding. The co-captains, Jimmy Nelson and Bill Grady Mr. Frey and the rest of the team participated in eleven meets, one of which took place on April 26 at Franklin Field in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania, where the famous Penn Relays took place. The rest of the schedule is as follows: April 22—Rutherford High School New Jersey Telegraphic April 30—UVM Freshmen May 3-—Cathedral High School May 7—Montpelier High School May 10—Lyndon Institute May 1 7—Burlington High School May 21—Spaulding High School May 24—-St. Johnsbury Invitation Track Meet May 31-—Northern Vermont District June 7—Vermont Interscholastic Track and Field Championships On May 24 at 1:00 o’clock on Brantview Field, the Track team was host to an Invitational Track and Field Meet. I hirteen track and field events were on the program along with a Spring Medley Relay and a Freshman 880 Yard Relay. As you can see. the track team kept a heavy schedule through the last couple of months of school!! — 85 — THE LAMP 1958 Baseball Coach Assistant Coach Mr. Burlingame Mr. Racenet After a year’s absence from the school calendar, baseball returned to the Academy this year with many boys turning out and a very heavy schedule. All the home games were played on the Tiade School field because the Fairbanks Field was not in condition for the games. The following is the 1958 schedule: April 28 Newport High School April 30 Derby Academy May 6 Bradford May 8 Trade School May 10 Derby Academy May 12 Sacred Heart Academy May 14 Newport High School May 20 Bradford May 22 Open May 26 Trade School May 28 Sacred Heart Academy After a very successful year, we hope the team will have as good, if not better, next year. — 86 — THE LAMP 1958 D ear D ia SEPTEMBER Dear Diary. Well, here we are, all ready to spend another year at St. J. A.: and for some of us, it's our last. There are new faces on the faculty this year. Miss Smith, Mrs. Moriarty, Miss Evanson, Mrs. Tandy, Mr. Racenct, and Mr. Frey. As usual, classes began the day following Labor Day with confused freshmen rushing up and down the corridors going nowhere.” This year we have a new science building, the Carl Ranger Hall of Science. It’s really modern and I’m sure glad we seniors will have a chance to use it. Our football team played Montpelier, September 14, and lost 13-0. We have a fine team, though, and they won 1 2-7 in a game with Spaulding. On September 28. our team scored 12-0 over Littleton. Our track team hasn't done so well. They lost 33-22 to Williamstown, but they are improving and are looking forward to many victories. Freshman Week came in all its glory the last week in September Poor freshmen! They really dislike the word Air Raid.” Why? Well, when a senior shouts it. the freshmen must fall flat on their faces, cover their heads, and wait for the All Clear.” Here comes a freshman!! See you in October, Dear Diary .... Air Raid!” OCTOBER Dear Diary, The first three days in Octo- ry: ber brought to a close Freshmen Initiation Week. We seniors sure had fun with those freshmen! On Friday night right after our first pep rally the freshmen, with a little help from the seniors, entertained the student body and faculty with various stunts. After the stunts, the freshmen really felt a part of our school. To thank them for their co-operation they were rewarded with a dance down in the dining hall. On Saturday, the fourth, came our first home game against Bellows Free Academy with the outcome in our favor (32-6). Nothing exciting happened the week of the fifth: but the next Saturday, a rainy one, we battled our way to a 13-0 win over the Burlington High Seahorses. The next week a day vacation. the twenty-fourth for teachers’ convention, had to be extended to two days because of the many flu cases. Also, our big football game of the year with Lyndon Institute was postponed until the ninth of November. Thus, one more month of school had sped by. NOVEMBER Dear Diary, This has been a pretty exciting month. Diary. The L. I.-St. J. A. game was postponed from last month because of flu until November 9, and we were victors over our opponent with a score of 20-6. It sure was a terrific game and we owe a great big Congratulations” to the football team and Coach Burlingame, who, incidentally, was voted as Coach of the Year. Great! A new addition to our Band, Diary—on Veteran’s Day four sharp-stepping Color Guards led the parade! Our Band has been the greatest this year. On November 13, the Dramatic Club presented a one-act play entitled. “They’re None of Them Perfect,” proving that we have some dramatic ability in this school. Another reason why we should be proud of our school— did you know. Diary, we were rated as having one of the best Student Councils in Vermont? This was reported when one representative attended the Student Council Convention in Burlington on November 22-23. Well. I can see December creeping up. so I better run. Au revoir! DECEMBER During the month of December, our basketball team got off to a poor start. The first game of the season was played against Spaulding High when the Hilltoppers lost in overtime 43-41. The Jayvees lost their game also by a big margin of 60-10. On the 1 1th, our team played its first home game and lost again by a close margin of 34-33 to Newport High. The Jayvees brightened our spirits by winining their game 24-21. On the 1 3th, Spaulding came to St. J. to again bring home a victory of 45-44. The first and only game our team won this month was played against Trade School on the 18th, the score being 59-50. During Christmas vacation, the team traveled to Burlington for an overnight stay. The 26th we played Cathedral losing 45-30. and on the 27th we lost again 63-45. Turning to other sports, the — 87 — THE LAMP 1958 Teachers challenged the Seniors in a volleyball- game on the 10th. The Seniors did their best in the two games, but the teachers still seemed to win by a big margin. The score of the first 21-6 and the second 21-2 were saddening to the seniors. The Debating Club traveled to Dartmouth College on the 7th to give a series of debates. We were told that they did very well and Sally Palmer honored us by being the 2nd best debater. The Dorm students had a very colorful formal on the 1 4th when Brantview was decorated in the theme of Candy Canes 1 heard that this formal was about the best one ever held at Brantview. The 1 8th was the date for a Christmas play put on by the Dramatic Club. What Men Live By,” in a Russian setting was most impressive. On the 20th, the Annual Christmas Concert brightened our Christmas before we retired for a nice long vacation. The Orchestra, Glee Club, and Freshman Singers really displayed excellent talent. JANUARY Dear Diary, School opened January 6 after a wonderful and busy vacation. January 8 we chalked up our first win of the New Year with a 61-33 score over Derby Academy. The Academy was picked for the cosmic ray study in this latitude. I’m sure the physics class is having fun setting up this experiment. In the next game of the New Year, we outclassed Sacred Heart 52-37. On January 1 I Woodsville defeated the Academy 75-55. In our next game, January 18. we rallied to beat Orleans 53-42. During this month. Miss Nancy Weston was announced as the local Homemaker winner and the Academy boys placed fourth in giant slalom held January 24 for the Northern District. January 28 we upset Woodsville by a score of 51-43. On Friday, the 21st, Mr. Pierce, Jr., made his television debut on Do You Trust Your Wife? I’m sure all of us are very proud of the Pierces. On January 29 the Academy finished the month with the sixth win of the season over Orleans by a score of 64-45. The Academy students contributed $151 in the fight against polio thanks to a well-planned drive headed by Miss Virginia Kumpf. Thus ended another month of school. My, how time flies! FEBRUARY Dear Diary: Well, here it is again: February, the month everyone has been waiting for with anticipation since school opened in September. For the first couple of weeks everyone ran around saying Who you going to vote for, who you going to vote for. Then the big day arrived and our curiosity was finally satisfied. Peggy Steeves, our Carnival Queen: and Jimmy Nelson, our King opened the Carnival in Chapel Thursday morning with their attendants: Judy Bunten, Virginia Kumpf. Clay Pole, and Ronnie Lowell The King and Queen announced that fun and laughter reign over the affair, and it did. A good time was had by all! Thursday afternoon the cross country and hockey game were the main interests. That night the faculty presented two plays, the likes never before seen on this earth. Amen! We were all up bright and early after the plays to prepare for the big day, Friday at Burke Mountain. Our hopes were fulfilled: it was a beautiful day and everyone ably participated in the skiing. The survivors braved the Cupid Dance where our blushing Cupid. Bob Johnson. was crowned. Isn’t he cute! Saturday everyone worked furiously on their sculptures and caught glimpses of the skating events and the play-off hockey game. After the sculptures were completed and the events were over, we all dragged ourselves to the Armory to decorate for the climax of the Carnival—the Sno Ball. Excitement reigned Saturday night as we all tripped the light fantastic to heavenly music in the pastel-colored armory. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of our King and Queen and the announcement of fhe winners of the events. Our skimasters this year were Sue Ransom and Mike Smith. And to the relief and joy of many of us the seniors came through to win. So you see—Old seniors never die--- MARCH Where has the school year gon- to? March is here and with it came the end of basketball season. The boys' Varsity team did well, ending the season with an eleven and seven record. On the tenth of March, a combined banquet with Trade School was held in their honor. Here’s hoping that next season brings even more success. Dear Diary, the band worked so hard this month. March first, they presented their second “On to Washington Con- — 88 — THE LAMP 1958 cert.’’ Throughout the month they had various money-raising projects plus those band practices. The reward came Thursday. March 27, when the members, their leader, the majorettes, and the chaperons climbed into the buses for their trip. This trip included a stop in New York City with a tour of the United Nations and a visit to Radio City Music Hall. Friday, March 28, off they all went to Washington, D. C.l While in Washington. D. C., they saw various spots of interest such as the Lincoln Memorial. Saturday night, the band marched in the Cherry Blossom Festival. Sunday, it was church for everyone and then off to New York City. They saw one television show and then. Monday morning they started for home. Congratulations to Mr. Messier and the whole band for a wonderful showing of our St. Johnsbury Academy Band!! Track season opened officially the end of this month. I'm sure we’ll have a successful season I guess that’s it for this month. Dear Diary. APRIL We are all quite eager to get back to school after a week-long vacation to finish up our last two six-weeks terms before the final closing of school. The usual spring practices for track and baseball started, even though the weather made us feel more as if we were in the middle of January instead of April. In place of April showers. we got April snow. The band members had a lot of news to tell all of us about their successful trio and parade in Washington. The hard work really paid off when the students heard that they had been invited back next year. On the tenth, in a special chapel period, the student body was addressed by Mr. Roy R. Kennedy, Executive Director of the Champlain Anniversary Festival that will take place throughout the year of 1959. All of eastern and northern New York, part of Quebec Province, and all of Vermont will take part in this gala event. Mr. Kennedy told his audience about the plans and reported that almost every town will celebrate with some sort of event. April 1 1, was the date set aside for the Rutland-St. J. A. Glee Club Concert here in Fuller Hall. The Rutland students arrived here Friday afternoon and left for home Saturday morning. After the enjoyable concert Friday evening, a dance was enjoyed in the Dining Hall. April 1 8 the juniors put on the annual Junior Prom, which was as usual a huge success. The dance was at the Frank Adams school and was semi-formal. April 19 the Glee Club traveled to Rutland for a return concert there. From the results heard around school later, they seemed to have had a wonderful time. The baseball team resumed its activities this year after being absent from the school calendar for a year. They played their first game on the 28th at home with Newport High School. The 50th they played Derby with Derby Academy. Well, dear diary. I guess that’s about all the news for this month, and a busy month indeed. See you next month! MAY May is always a busy month and this year was no exception. Everyone hustles around finishing last-minute club jobs and studying for the coming exams. The baseball and track teams are in the midst of their heavy schedules. On the 3rd, the track team had a meet with Cathedral High School, on the 7th with Montpelier, 10th with Lyndon Institute. 17th with Burlington High School, and the 21st with Spaulding High School. The 24th was the long-awaited date for the St. Johnsbury Academy Invitational Meet, and the 31st for the Northern District Meet. In baseball, the boys were also very busy with their heavy schedule because on the 6th. they played Bradford Academy: the 8th, Trade School: the 10th, Derby Academy: 12th. Sacred Heart: and the 1 4th. with Newport High. On the 20th. they repeated a game with Bradford: 22nd. with Spaulding: 26th. with Trade, and the 28th, with Sacred Heart. G. A A. was also very busy with a spring program of tennis. golf, softball, and archery. Turning to other activities on the campus, Ottawa High School Band from Ottawa. Canada, came to St. Johnsbury for a joint concert with our band. They arrived here on the 9th. the concert took place on Saturday evening, and the band left for home on Sunday. A whole weekend of entertainment was planned for them and I'm sure they had a wonderful time. On the 12th. the annual Student Council presidential campaign started. Everywhere around the buildings for the whole week you could see posters encouraging you to vote for all the candidates. On Thursday. the 15th, in chapel exercises in the afternoon, the campaign speeches by all the candidates were heard. On Friday. — 89 — THE LAMP 1958 elections took place for both the President and monitors. All the clubs and classes were busy organizing themselves for the coming school year. Officers were elected, charters requested and all other usual proceedings were completed. Last Chapel came on the 29th of May. Awards were given out at this time and the procedure of classes marching up took place. This ended the month of May and all we had to look forward to were the exams and graduation. JUNE Well, here we are Diary in the last month of school and did it go by fast! Starting Monday, the 2nd. those familiar final exams took place. Those lucky Seniors who didn't have to take them!! When Thursday came, we were glad for more than one reason because exams were over and the favorite dance of the year was here, the Senior Ball. The Senior Ball was sponsored by the Junior Class and was held at the St. Johnsbury Armory with the Ambassadors playing. Just about every Senior attended. Friday night the annual Commencement concert took the spotlight. The band, orchestra. Glee Club, and the Freshmen Singers all gave the audience a very exceptional program of selections. Saturday, Class Day, was held in Fuller Hall where the Senior Class read their Last Will and Testament, their Prophecy, and sang their class songs. Sunday, we enjoyed the tea at Mr. Twombly's home, and Baccalaureate Services were held in Fuller Hall in the evening. Monday ended the graduation exercises with graduation itself. Many sad Seniors left the school, now Alumni', but next year more students will take their place and resume the busy calendar of events. — 90 — THE LAMP 1958 ---------------- Sp onsors — 91 — THE LAMP 1958 RANDALL and WHITCOMB School Supplies Stationers Gifts St. Jchnsbury, Vt.
