Now. for the last time I can command your attention. If I were to summarize for you what the school has been trying to inculcate, I would say: First—to your own self be true Second—know yourself Third—always be loyal to your family, your church, your community and to your school. I also urge that you become, and remain, an active and loyal alumnus. This school continues only because of the loyalty of those who have attended Saint Johnsbury Academy since 1842. Join this great army in loyalty and support. Sincerely, ELWIN H.

When Winter Carnival time arrived, it found us ready and able—our sculpture Pluto won third place. We tied for girls' skimeister, and won the boys’ skimeister—Our class came in fourth in the Carnival, but it was a lot of fun. Oh yes, and we can’t forget the Freshman Sing. The Freshmen blossomed through to take first place. We surprised everyone, even ourselves. 1957- 1958 The Winter Carnival found our class in an early lead. We captured the boys’ skimeister again this year: and we won the boys' cross-country, and beat the Seniors in hockey. Our sculpture Humpty Dumpty” came in second. Our class was ready and waiting for the Freshman Sing,” and again we won the high spot on the program. 1958- 1959 In the March of Dimes money-raising contest we came in second only to the Seniors: they beat us by $7.98. Again we took an early lead in the Winter Carnival. The boys’ skimeister was awarded to our class. The class of '60 had Samuel D. Champlain” for their sculpture—We won the Carnival, and chaos reigned over the hall. Nine of our classmates went to Girls ’and Boys' State. Six boys and three girls were given the honor. We decorated for the Senior Ball, and let me tell you we worked. The theme was A South Sea Island. Oh! I forgot to tell you about the Freshman Sing—our class sang away” with the honors, and we were all thrilled about it. Loren Phelps was elected President of the Student Council, for next year. 1959- 1960 Our first job as Seniors was to initiate the Freshmen—that was a riot. Many of our fellow students were honored for their outstanding work in the Merit Scholarship Tests and the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Five of our classmates were on the first All-Northern Conference; others were on the second team and received honorable mention. This year when the Carnival rolled around, we went in full steam ahead. We took an early lead with Cross-Country and skating. Our sculpture Olympic Bob Sled Team” took first place. When all the votes were counted, we lost by nine points. We take our hats off to the Sophomores: they really deserved to win after the hard work. I might add here that a boy from our class was skimeister again this year—Our classmates have held the boys’ skimeister title every year we have been at the Academy. The Freshman Sing was early this year, and all the classes started preparations weeks in advance. We came through to win again this year, which gives us a perfect record for the four years at St. J. A. School is fast coming to a close now. It seems that graduation is here. The four years have gone by quickly, and now it's time for the Class of '60 to start making its mark in a larger world. “And no matter where we go Tho’ we wander to and fro We’ll be coming back, you know To St. J.

The members of this club have worked very hard to put into the year book everything the students request. This year, in order to become a Lamp member, an essay was required. Students writing the best essays were then welcomed into the club. The entire Lamp staff hopes you enjoy reading your Lamp this year and in the years to come. — 60 — THE LAMP 1960 Is; row L to R: B.

All of the members were novices except for the chairman, Virginia Hinett. This year they were unable to attend the annual meet at Dartmouth College because of sickness and the fact that some were attending the International Music Festival. In Chapel the club put on a debate for the students entitled Resolution that the Federal Government should substantially increase the regulation of labor unions.” They attended the Vermont Debating Festival which was held at U. V. M. in the spring, and this is where the state championships were determined. T he Debating Club has worked hard this year and has chalked up much success for its work. Much of this success can be credited to the advisor, Mr. Plummer, who has worked constantly with the group. -62- THE LAMP 1960 Dramatic Club PRESIDENT: Ginny Martin Vice-President: Denise Russo SECRETARY: Beverly Smith The Dramatics Club, under the direction of Mr. Snapp. has presented two plays this year.

On Saturday, March 19. the Academy Dramatics Club hosted the Vermont Eastern Regional Play Festival, in which six Vermont schools participated. A three-act comedy, The Curious Savage.” was presented on two nights-—Thursday. March 24. and Friday, March 25.

It charters clubs, sponsors student activities, awards letters, and makes student laws. The Student Council sponsored their annual Magaznie Drive this year, earning $3,000 for the Activity Fund, and in January put on a talent and skit show to raise money for the March of Dimes. The Council also sponsored a drive for Brightlook Hospital, put on a mock tribunal meeting, and has stationed monitors in the locker room every period to cut down theft and defacing of property. The Council has been very successful in its business this year, and we sincerely appreciate the work of its members. — 64 — THE LAMP 1960 1st row I. to R: C. Gagne. J. Pike. M. Utton. D. McDowell. M.

The Council selects twenty-four of these petitions to be voted on by the student body. Twelve monitors are elected for a term of one semester. — 65 — THE LAMP 1960 1st row I to R: E. Achilles. B.

Miss McKay, who just this year joined the faculty, has been the advisor. Taking the place of Mr. Stowe was quite a job. but Miss McKay has done a fine job of filling his shoes. Each member this year has worked on at least one project. Some of the fields covered are: microbiology, chemistry, ornithology' mammalogy and physics, plus many more. Individuals choose projects in their own field, and report on them at meetings, by demonstration. The Club hopes to exhibit one experiment in the state science fair this year. Fortunately, it has had access to the splendid Traveling Science Library. Congratulations go to the top science students for their splendid work and our gratitude for not causing any great explosions—like blowing up the school! — 66 — THE LAMP 1960 lsf row L to R: L.

They next did a wonderful job of drawing dividers for the Lamp. 1 hey painted the back drop for The Curious Savage,” making a wonderful setting for the play.

A few of them are soccer, field hockey, basketball, volleyball, softball, badminton, and archery. Basketball interscholastics were held with Lyndonville and Littleton. This gave every girl the privilege of competition. G. A. A. is a girls' organization which meets on Tuesday and Thursday. It is open to all girls who wish to participate in sports and to benefit from its purpose, which is to offer healthful exercise, to promote sportsmanship, to offer sports which may be continued after graduation, and above all for enjoyment and relaxation. — 70 — THE LAMP 1960 Latin Club President: Philo Lang Vice-President: Mike Lumbra Secretary and Treasurer: Dian Stewart One of the new clubs this year is the Latin Club.

In the club of nine members, the students get a chance to know each other better. They are having fun together with Latin songs, easy stories, plays, and puzzles. We wish Mrs. Prindle luck with this new organization. — 71 — THE LAMP 1960 1st row L to R : S. Ollivcr. P. Weeks. M. Lesnick. R. St. Sauveur, M. O'Brien. K. Fischer. Mrs. Tandy. 2nd row: R. Milner.

Winter Carnival Committee Success is the adjective most fitting for describing the splendid work of the Winter Carnival Committee. Nothing seemed to be overlooked by Mr. Ryan or the committee. They started with ice, snow, and a school full of kids eager to skate and ski, and from this they developed a Winter Carnival. The times, dates, and events were all planned by the committee with careful judgment. They set the dimensions of the sculptures, made the throne, and crown for Cupid, set the stop watches, placed the slalom poles, and last but not least they topped the Carnival off with the majestic Sno-Ball and the crowning of the King and Queen. You did it again!

Contrary to previous years, the annual Christmas concert was performed for the general public with the Freshman Singers on December 16, 1959. Loren Phelps played the electronic organ, lent to us by George Brodien. On December 18. this concert was repeated for the student body. On April 18, 1959, St. Johnsbury Academy Glee Club and Burlington High Glee Club met for the spring concert in Fuller Hall, and on April 19 the joint concert was held in Burlington. The final Commencement Concert for the class of 1960 on June 9, 1960 made a lasting impression. We wish to thank Mr. Green as director, and Katherine Brown and Loren Phelps as pianists, for making this another successful year at St. Johnsbury Academy. — 81 — THE LAMP 1960 Isf row L to R: D.

Twelve members also participated in the All-State Music Festival in Burlington, Vermont, May 5, 6, and 7. In April this organization gave a joint, exchange concert with North-field, which was very successful.

Ross Bimson. William Knight LIBRARIANS: Kitty Brown, Gloria Hardy. Elizabeth Remick Once again the Academy band and Mr. J. Leo Messier had a busy and eventful year. The band stepped out for their first appearance in August at the annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl Game. The musicians and majorettes put on their usual fine performance. After losing many fine musicians by graduation, the band did a wonderful job of reorganizing, putting pep and spirit into the Academy rooters at rallies and football games. Decked out in their green and white uniforms, the band put on some enjoyable half-time exhibitions. This year the tradition of dividing the band into Green and White bands was revived. For several weeks the White Band, under the leadership of Charlie Boisvert, worked out their routines and made every effort to be the winner. Before the half of the L. I. Game the bands went through their routines. with the Green being judged the best. With football season over the band students settled down to serious work on their December concert. This concert was a great success and was enjoyed by all. January saw a number of the band members travelling to Canada for the Mount Royal Music Festival. A real buzz went around the band when it was announced that on March 11 our friends from Ottawa would be making the long trip to Vermont. Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely while the Ottawa group was here. The concert was judged one of the best ever. As the end of the year drew closer, every week end was a busy one for J. Leo Messier and the crew. The band set to work preparing for an exchange trip with Plattsburg, New York. Besides that, there seemed to be a parade nearly every week end. While all of this was going on. some of our own band students were preparing for the All-State Music Festival. All in all, the band put in an eventful year. — 85 — THE LAMP 1960 C. Walthcr, C. Utton.

Majorettes The band is now being led by fifteen high-stepping young ladies. Seven new majorettes have joined the ranks. To start off the year, the majorettes marched at all the pep rallies. After all if the majorettes didn't march, there would be no glamour in a pep rally. Isn't that right, girls! The majorettes made a new appearance this year: and boy. did they ever look smart! A white beret and a green kilt and jacket would make any majorette shine from head to toe. The new uniforms couldn't have materialized if it had not been for the splendid help of the band. Yes. the batons have been kept spinning, for there were many hard rehearsals practicing for the December Concert and again for the Ottawa Concert. The success of the majorettes this year is largely due to the fine leadership of Mary Ann Bain and the wonderful cooperation of every one of the majorettes. Thanks a million, girls! You are surely a great asset to the school. — 87 — THE LAMP 1960 Front: M. Gladding. L to R: M. Sanborn. V. Martin. K. Lobdell. M. Utton. C. Gagne.

They have carried on the school spirit, which is the backbone of all school activities. These girls are judged each spring by three faculty members on such qualities as appearance, spirit, voice, and enthusiasm. This year the seniors compose over ninety per cent of the squad. The cheerleading faculty advisor is Mrs. Virginia Johnson. She has been a great help to the girls. So to Mrs. Johnson and your squad we all say Thanks for doing such a great job.” The senior cheerleaders leave, wishing the football and basketball teams and next year's cheerleaders a great season in 1960-1961. 88 — THE LAM P 1960 Front row: L.

This is the second year for this organization, and they have shown their ability at all the home J. V. games and one out-of-town game. This year the six girls sponsored a school dance to pay for new uniforms. These outfits really look cute. The group was organized in October of '59 by Mrs. Johnson (cheerleading faculty advisor) and the Junior Varsity Cheerleaders. It has shown a lot of pep and enthusiasm in leading the student body in school cheers. The squad was composed of four freshmen, two sophomores, and two substitutes.

National Honor Society On March 1 7. twenty Academy seniors were inducted into the National Honor Society in an afternoon chapel program. This is a very large number to be so honored Not only is scholarship an important qualification but also the students' character, leadership, and service are rated. This honor is awarded to eligible seniors, who receive a membership card and a pin. and it is certainly a reward after four years of hard work to attain this goal. Induction into this society is one of the highest honors a school can award to its students. Congratulations to these new members for their outstanding school records. — 90 — the ball on the Academy’s 43, 30 and 31.

The team won eight meets and lost only one to the powerful U. V. M. Frosh. with Bill Jackson setting the pace. Captain Dan Mahoney, Kent Field, Les Moore, Paul Villeneuve. Mike Lumbra, Bob Hallett, and Brian Player should also be commended on their fine performances throughout the season. A new feature was added to the schedule when the team competed in a postal meet with eighteen other schools from all sections of the United States. Five members of the squad, including this year's captain, DanMahoney, Bill Jackson, Kent Field. Les Moore, and Paul Villeneuve represented St. J. A. and the state of Vermont in the New England Cross Country Championships. As usual, these boys turned in outstanding performances. May luck and skill follow the future Cross Country Teams of St. Johnsbury Academy. Best of luck to next year's Captain, Bill Jackson, Coach Frey and the returning members of the team.

Friday night, September 18. we had our first pep rally.” We hope our cheers were partly responsible for the 7-0 victory over Spaulding the following day. The Cross-Country team began a busy schedule by defeating Jericho 16-39 in their first meet. We are really proud of both teams and can only say. Keep up the good work. The week of September 21 saw bewildered Freshmen being put through their paces by the mighty seniors.
