For one, perhaps, another reminder that this is the commencement of the race, not the finish. But, of course, the most important thing is to urge you to use to the greatest advantage the foundations you have gained here; to be loyal to all to whom loyalty is due—Country, state, Church, family and your old school. With all best for the years ahead. El win H.

All you need is a copy of the Lamp and an easy chair. Curl up, relax, and reminisce. Remember that crazy pajama party, and the post-L. I. game gathering, those fun-filled weekends that made Monday through Fridays a little easier to take? There they all are, captured forever by engaging informals. And those Seniors, what a gang! We'll miss them, but a quick jglance at the Lamp brings everything back. A year book means many things to many people: hard work for the staff, enthusiasm and anxiety from the subscribers, and pride from the faculty. But the Lamp becomes a cherished possession for more than this, for the Lamp is “You.” — 58 — THE LAMP 1962 THE ACADEMY STUDENT EDITOR-IN-CHIEF—Mary Ellen O'Brien Assistant Editor—Donna Beaupre News Editor—Susan Rix Feature Editor—Kerry Dunne Business Manager—Gertrude Harris Make-Up—Susan Gagne Exchange—Pamela Weeks Adviser—Miss Clark There's a trite, but true, saying that many things are a labor of love and such is the case with the Student. our school newspaper. Meeting deadlines and balancing budgets are no small task as a handful of literary aspirants can tell you, but their efforts were well worth it as a quick glance over past issues readily shows. Many thanks to our hard-working, capable staff for a wonderful year. — 59 — THE LAMP 1962 DEBATING CLUB President—Nick Morrill VICE President—Wayne Larenteau Secretary—Jeff Meddings The Debating Club this year really talked up a storm in their bi-month-:y meetings. Under the auspices of Mr. Plummer, the year's schedule was intended to indoctrinate our ambitious underclassmen in the fine arts of a fine art, debating. Everyone likes a little argument now and then as variety is admittedly the spice of life. But the members of this ambitious group have put their excess energy to good use and channeled their viewpoints along a more productive line. May this year's intense efforts pay many dividends in future meets and trips. — 60 — THE LAMP 1962 DRAMATIC CLUB President—Chris Walther Vice-President—Roland St. Sauveur Secretary—Joyce Bortolin The Dramatic Club, although unable to compete in the One-Act Play contest, has been very busy this year. The members have spent much of their time working on the portrayal of various characterizations in the form of impromptu skits. The club has also been learning a great deal about the art of stagecraft and management. Part of its activities this year have been to repair and improve the stage and properties. Good luck in the future. Dramatic Club. — 61 — THE LAMP 1962 STUDENT COUNCIL President—Chris Walther Vice-President—Bill Moore SECRETARY—Patricia Dionne Treasurer—Sue Gagne Asst. Treasurer—Dean Kimball The governing body over St. Johnsbury Academy students is the Student Council. This group is responsible for chartering clubs, sponsoring student activities, awarding letters, and making student bylaws. The Council's most successful project this year was the annual Magazine Drive, in which the Academy students went way past our goal by selling over $4,000 of subscriptions. Not only did we go over our goal, but we also beat Lyndon Institute in average per student! Another of the Council's achievements this year was a Variety Clothes Day in February for the benefit of the March of Dimes, and one more in the spring with the proceeds going to help the Lamp. Finally, the student Council assumed responsibility for the Annual Talent and Skit Show, which was an evening of entertainment enjoyed by all. The Student Council always has many things it must accomplish, and it has been very successful in its business this year. We sincerely appreciate the work its members have done for the Academy, and also the support it has received from the Student Body. — 62 — THE LAMP 1962 MONITORS’ CLUB CAPTAINS-—Sue Gagne and Art McKee The Academy in action to those few entrusted with its management is a veritable Times Square. Students bustling to and fro and congregating here and there provide a tricky problem for our industrious monitors. A guiding hand from Warren or a quick smile from Sue is all it takes to set a meandering student straight. Thus the chaos and confusion which might exist in our hallowed halls is successfully averted. Monitors hold a position of honor, respect, and responsibility and a quick glance down any corridor proves their worth. This club helps weave together a top-rate school with champion students, and it deserves our praise for a job well done. — 63 — THE LAMP 1962 SCIENCE CLUB PRESIDENT—Craig Parenteau Vice-President—Nick Morrill Secretary-Treasurer—Dave Ely Once upon a time there came into existence a group of conniving science creatures. On every Tuesday in a dark cubby hole of the school they gathered to work on a new discovery. Their warped minds were schmeing and seething at a feverish pace to finish the new mixture that would send it into orbit— the school that is. As the room got smoky and the substance started to spit, in walked Dr. Stowe with a protest to make. ' Students, how many times have I told you if you aren't careful you'll break some equipment.” Well, came the doleful reply, We were almost successful. Seriously though, the science club is working on a new mixture which will produce a colored flame plus observing a cosmic ray machine which detects radio activity. Our physics and chemistry classes are preparing more students to carry on. Success can truly describe the work of the science club. — 64 — THE LAMP 1962 ART CLUB President—Nora Luddy Secretary—Nina Maclver Treasurer—Pamela Smith Arresting posters and enticing ads scattered hither and yon through out our campus quickly bring to mind the Art Club. The diligence, interest, and skill of its members reflect in their work, which leaves little to be desired in originality and effectiveness. Nor is this their only forte, for the advent of any play finds our artists vigorously designing scenery and backdrops for the production. Next time, when the witching hour comes at a school dance and everyone is merrily scrambling for the decorations which serve as souvenirs, stop and think—for here, too, the Art Club has served us well. Accomplishment in abundance, that’s the Art Club! — 65 — THE LAMP 1962 FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA PRESIDENT—Betty Thresher Vice-President—Patty Barrett Secretary—Ruth Whitney REPORTER—Carol Simpson Parliamentarian—Dorothy Fontaine Recreational Leader—Sandra Blake Historian—Joan Sizen The Future Homemakers Club at St. Johnsbury Academy was organized in 1959 with the Freshman Home Economics Class being the original members. FHA is a national organization for girls in Homemaking Classes. This year our chapter sent five delegates to the two-day State Convention at Mt. Snow. West Dover, Vermont. From this convention the girls gather many new ideas on how to improve their club chapter. FHA helps girls all over the nation to be better wives, mothers, and citizens, thus contributing to a better America. — 66 — THE LAMP 19 6 2 VARSITY CLUB President—Curt Utton Vice-President—Reg Sevigny SECRETARY—Larry Rapagnani The Varsity Club is composed of the boys who have received a letter in any one of the four Varsity sports or intramural basketball offered here at the Academy. Under the guidance of Coach Burlingame, this club has been one of the more active organizations this year. The Club started its busy year performing a service both to the school and the community through its annual Heart Fund Drive. The Drive, as always. was a great success, proving that these boys are a credit ot the school both on the field and off. Another worthy achievement was the purchasing of a trophy, to be called the Dutch Leonard Memorial Trophy, which will be awarded each year to the boy elected Athlete of the Year. For the boys' own enjoyment they have planned a trip to a baseball game some time in the spring. Congratulations to the members of the Varsity Club for a year of fine achievements. — 67 — THE LAMP 1962 GIRLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT—Sharon Deblois Vice-President—Donna Daley SECRETARY—Carol Dawson Representatives : SENIORS—Betty Kimball and Kay Powell JUNIORS—Susan Heath and Carol Forrence SOPHOMORES—Joan Moore and Jennifer Trembly FRESHMEN—Ann Leipman and Donna Turgeon In the fall one could see the G. A. A. girls engaged in a spirited game of field hockey. Three cheers for their complete season of victories over Lyndon. In a less rough vein, there was volleyball, under the instruction of Mrs. Morrison. Winter found our lasses involved in intramural basketball plus the six-game schedule with Lyndon, Littleton, and Hardwick. Even though there were limited facilities and practices, the girls did a tremendous job. In the spring our game-minded gamins found themselves in competition once again, for softball prevailed along with spring fever. Archery was available for the Robin Hood lovers. Now that the year has come to a close once again, the Lamp staff wants to congratulate the girls and coaches for giving their best, and for a job well done. — 68 — THE LAMP 1962 LATIN CLUB President—Dick Lamothe SECRETARY—Susan Cosgrove A new name and motto have been the quest of the Latin Club this year. Much of their time has been spent on a comparison of Lincoln. Cicero, and Caesar. Winnie the Poo has also been a frequent visitor to the club. Dialogues and plays have formed a major portion of the entertainment at the club meetings and have afforded excellent practice. Latin puzzles have also offered informal fun as well as the practice necessary to the conquest of any language. Best of luck in your quest, Latin Club. — 69 — THE LAMP 1962 LIGHT AND SHADOW CLUB President—Bruce Benoit Vice-President—Larry Tyler SECRETARY- 1 REASURER—Wanda Jenness Click! Another image preserved for posterity by our shutter-snapping camera addicts. Seen virtually everywhere and any time when there are “big doings' on campus, the camera club has been exceedingly active this year. Always on the go. many of the club’s activities are kept in the dark— the dark room, that is! Here members complete the work by developing the pictures. A major enterprise this year was the production of Christmas cards embossed with an image of the Academy. Congratulations are in order for a club which is truly a service to the school. And the “Lamp” staff especially wishes to extend its thanks for outstanding help this year. — 70 — THE LAMP 1962 MATH CLUB President—Leon Story Vice-President—Gene Bain Secretary—Jean Staples Bacon, in his famed essay on studies, recommends math for the wander ing mind. His reasoning is clear, his logic, sound, and for those who have pur sued his advice, the Math Club provides unexcelled opportunities. For those few students unafraid to face the enigmas of the binomial theorem or such terms as sin (x+y) =sin x cos y + cos x sin y. the Math Club is particularly rewarding. Care to join? Prerequisites—energy and ambition. Who can tell, perhaps an Einstein lives in our midst. — 71 — THE LAMP 1962 FRENCH CLUB President—Bill Moore SECRETARY—Bonny Burlingame Parley-vous francais? Then the French Club is the place for you. An up and coming group of would-be linguists, its members busy themselves with innumerable projects throughout the year. English-French Crossword Puzzles have been conquered, and with energy in abundance the Club has invaded the literary world with a publication of its own. French is a living language and through the efforts of Miss Crock and her crew, segments of St. Jay A. will emerge with a French flair strictly Parisi-enne. Vive le circle francais! — 72 — THE LAMP 1962 RADIO GROUP Friends, Americans, Countrymen, Lend me your ears (for rhe Radio Group, of course) I come to PRAISE St. J. A. Not to bury it. Today at the Academy the outstanding new club is the Radio Group. The reasons—The Radio Group was organized by Mr. Quinn early in September even before school started, also we have had a broadcast every week since the Club’s organization, including those weeks during vacations. Of course, we are very proud of this record. The main goal of the Radio Group is to bring the news of the Academy to the townspeople (also to some students who sleep through Chapel announcements) . Not only do we report the activities of the school, but we express our own opinions on various controversial topics. The Radio Group was also given the opportunity to participate in a script-writing, broadcasting contest. Roland St. Sauveur won first place in the state contest with the chance to go on to compete in the national contest in Washington. D. C. The Lamp staff wishes to extend congratulations to the Radio Club for its hard work and devotion. — 73 THE LAMP 1962 LYCEUM Attention, Eggheads, the latest news around campus is You. Thanks to the faculty, a new club has been created to give recognition for scholarship and provide a stimulus for swift thinners. (Just an expression). Care to joint? It s simple—all you need to participate is two semesters of high honor marks. And. after five semesters of same, you're safely installed as a life-time member. Patterned after the Great Books Club of Chicago, discussions are held every other week on a variety of stimulating topics followed by equally stimulating refreshments. So if you've got what it takes, get busy and bum that midnight oil and you, too, may be one of the elite.” — 74 — THE LAMP 1962 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Successful is the word best characterizing the members of the National Honor Society. Throughout his four fruitful years at the Academy each member has attained certain goals both scholastically and socially, culminating in election to the elite group comprising the society. Those eligible occupy a scholastic standing in the upper quarter of the Senior Class. The ultimate number elected, however, is limited to fifteen percent of the graduates. Therefore membership is cherished and coveted, and those attaining election merit our praise and congratulations. First Rout—D. Bcaupre. S. Burrington C. Corrow. B. Coveil. J. Engle. B. Kimball. L. Lawrence. E. Little. Second Rout—W. McKee. M. O'Brien. S. Oliver, E. Remick. S. Rix. J. Sizen. L. Story. E. Thresher. P. Weeks. — 75 — THE LAMP 1962 WINTER CARNIVAL COMMITTEE Best Carnival Yet.'' blazing headlines proclaimed. And they were right for success in abundance marked this year's Winter Carnival. Establishing a cause and effect relationship in this case isn t easy, but much credit for cause can go to our Winter Carnival Committee, which worked endlessly on every aspect. Fun and frolic were their goals and with much imagination and go-Go-GO. the Committee, comprised of members of each class, attained phenomenal heights. The fruits of their efforts were many and rich as all who participated in the Carnival of 1962 can verify. Another successful Carnival, another successful Committee. — 76 — THE LAMP 1962 WINTER CARNIVAL COURT KING—Curt Utton QUEEN—Betty Kimball ATTENDANTS—David Lavigne ATTENDANTS—Susan Gagne Warren Wilson Sandy Burrington THE LAMP 1962 78 THE LAMP 1962 THE LAM P 1962 GLEE CLUB President—Chris Walther Vice-President—Bill Moore SECRETARY—Katherine Cooley Our fine Glee Club, numbering on the shady side of a hundred, meets thrice weekly to rehearse for its rewarding concerts. Premiering in December, the lusty-lunged chorus delighted student body and public alike with dual performances of its Christmas Concert. The robins of spring were no match for our warblers as the joint concert in May with Burlington High School, and the June Commencement Concert readily illustrate. This year diligence and constant endeavor paid dividends, for letters were delegated only to a deserving few on the basis of our new point system. Congratulations for another highly successful year at the Academy, Mr. Green, accompanist Kay Cooley, and group. — 80 — THE LAM P 1962 FRESHMAN SINGERS ACCOMPANISTS—Susan Crosby, Charlene Heath Librarian—D'Anne Brickett 'The most serious group in many a year,” quoted Mr. Green, the director of the Freshman Singers. Forty strong, these energeitc girls practice faithfully twice a week after school. One can hear their fine quality at either the Christmas, Spring, or Commencement Concerts. Any girls interested in joining Glee Club take heed: Only former Freshman Singers are eligible! We all thank these lassies for a fine job and hope to see them adding continued enthusiasm and maturity to Glee Club next year. — 81 — THE LAMP 1962 ORCHESTRA PRESIDENT—Virginia Handy Vice-President—Richard Reed Secretary—Judy Engle Merry are the music makers of St. Jay A., and the members of our fine orchestra are no exception. After making their debut for the '61-’62 season at the traditional Christmas Concert, the next major event on the agenda was a journey to Montreal with music. Here the enthusiastic elite selected for the International Music Festival were fortunate enough to be under the direction of our very own Mr. Messier. Next stop—a joint concert in Northfield where all went well until a few flirty flutes discovered Norwich! The orchestra concluded its busy, but productive, season by adding to the success of the Academy's Commencement Concert. — 82 — THE LAMP 1962 BAND President—Clifford Whitehill Vice President—Andrea Fyfe Secretary—Diantha Peters Treasurer—Richard Reed Greetings I'm J. Leo Jr. Although I don't play a musical instrument, I follow the band members everywhere because I’m their mascot. This past year has certainly been a year of new ideas for the band. Our football season began with a successful trip to the Annual Maple Sugar Bowl game. From then on the band marched and played and even cheered for our boys on the football field. The St. J. A. Band bought new jackets and became almost a military unit for the L. I. game. When the cold weather came, the band moved inside to perform its December Concert. This year season tickets were sold for the first time. I might also add that I thought my band-member friends were in good shape at their December concert. The Ottawa Band made its appearance here in April, and everyone enjoyed its friendship and music. time. At last the Commencement Concert arrived and a few played for the last This has been a rewarding year for all of us in the Band. See you next year, J. Leo, Jr. — 83 — THE LAMP 1962 COLOR GUARD CAPTAIN—Paul Chouinard Curt Utton Bill Moore Chris Walther Jim Kennedy Dean Kimball Brent Beck Again this year the Color Guard, a unit of the St. Johnsbury Academy Band, has been seen marching in parades at band concerts, and on trips. These boys add a great deal of military dignity to our band, carrying rifles and three flags: the American, State, and School. Celebrating its fifth year as part of the band, this organization deserves a lot of credit, and we are very proud of the boys and the job they have done. — 84 — THE LAMP 1962 CORPS DE MAJORETTES Leader—Sandie Burrington Co-Leader—Pattie Dionne This pert and pretty group led all the Pep Rallies, with cold legs and hands marched in the Armistice Day Parade: and with their Christmas Spirit, helped light the Christmas tree atop Fairbanks Mountain. Concerts brought an innovation to the audience—ballet a la baton! The girls, working hard with Sandie and Pattie, managed to buy new hats, plumes, and emblems. Our twirlers will always be known for their school spirit, skill, and most of all, their pep and vigor. Thanks, girls, for your contribution to the school's fine reputation. — 85 — THE LAMP 1962 CHEERLEADERS Captain—Betty Kimball CO-CAPTAIN—Linda Rowe Linda Handy Bonnie Burlingame Emily Rutherford Karen Williams SUBSTITUTES—Karren Webber, Diane Dawson MASCOT—Andrea Handy Remember those six blurry shapes that flew by. Remember the girls who would laugh and then cry. Remember the screams and the yells that emerged; When the six lively voices had all been converged. Remember the girls who upon the stage pleaded; Concerning the spirit which was direly needed. Remember the Lyndon game that we won: And the kissing that followed for a job well done. Remember them! We’ll never forget them. Thank you. girls, for a marvelous job, you surely deserve a great deal of credit. Now we give a hand to Mrs. Johnson for her work and to Andrea Handy, the mascot, who stole everyone’s heart. — 86 — THE LAMP 1962 VARSITY FOOTBALL CO-CAPTAINS—Curt Utton, Warren Wilson COACH—Mr. Burlingame ASST. Coaches—Mr. Ingram, Mr. Racenet MANAGERS—Ernie Stretton. Paul Chouinard ST. J. A. 25— L. I. 7 To most of the teams in our league, this year's Academy Hilltoppers looked like a team that wouldn't be hard to beat. After all, a team that loses seventeen of its last year's seniors, nine of whom were starters, shouldn't be much of a threat, should it? Combining speed, shiftiness, and spirit, instead of brute strength, the Hilltoppers proved to be a serious threat, winning four of their seven games and coming very close to winning another two. The disappointment of losing three games was made up for in the annual St. J. A.-L. I. classic. The Hilltoppers completely overpowered the L. I. Vikings, and at the close of the game, the score read 25-7 in favor of our boys. We are all very proud of our team and glad to have the treasured trophy back in our halls. The class of 1962 wishes the best of luck to next year's captain and his team. 27 Burlington Windsor 7 14 6 15 Montpelier 20 0 B. F. A. 27 7 Spaulding 13 18 Rice 7 25 L. I. — 88 — 7 TH E LAMP 1 962 JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL This year's J. V. Football had an unfortunate season, but showed much promise in the backfield for next year. Totally made up of inexperienced Freshmen, the J. V. Football team gained much in experience and know-how. The six games played were very close, especially the Lyndon and Peacham games. The Lamp wishes all the boys the best of luck on next year’s Varsity Team. — 89 — THE LAMP 1962 CROSS COUNTRY This year our Cross Country Team turnout was the largest in its history. Twenty-one boys reported for practice to open the season. The boys formed into a squad and showed their skill by winning six out of eight games. Captain Bobby Peters was this year's number-one man and performed outstandingly for the team. In the closing, the team placed third in the Vermont State Meet. The boys deserve a great deal of credit. Best of luck to next year’s Captain, Brian Player and his harriers. — 90 — THE LAMP 1962 BASKETBALL Co-CAPTAINS—Dave Lavigne and Paul Hawkins Coach—Mr. Ingram Again this year, it was decided to have an Intramural Basketball Program for the boys at the Academy instead of a regular varsity team, because of the lack of proper gymnasium facilities. Starting around the end of November, seventy-five boys turned out for the program, and they were divided into ten teams, four Varsity and six Junior Varsity. The games between these teams were held after school at the Armory, and later in the season at the Trade School Gymnasium. At the close of the season, which lasted for eight weeks, All-Star Varsity and Junior Varsity teams were chosen by the coaches. These two teams had two games each, one with Trade School and the other with Lyndon- Institute. The Jayvees lost both of their games, but the Varsity made up for this by winning both of theirs and completing their second undefeated season! Congratulations to these boys for their hard work, even though there was no official season. We look forward to having our own gymnasium next year, and we feel sure that our team will do well with a normal schedule. Varsity: Junior Varsity: St. J. A. 48 T rade 37 St. J. A. 57 Lyndon 49 St. J. A. 20 T rade 39 St. J. A. 28 Lyndon 43 — 91 — THE LAMP 1962 TRACK CAPTAIN—Larry Rapagnani COACHfcS—Mr. Frey. Mr. Daniele As soon as the snow disappeared, the aspiring trackmen of the Academy picked up shoes, starting blocks, javelins, and other gear and headed for Fairbanks field. With quite a large turnout this year, these boys will attempt to retain the Vermont State Championship Title that they won last year. Although the team will miss the lettermen who were graduated last year, we know that the boys will do their best to keep the trophy they worked so hard for last year. Our best wishes to Coach Frey and his team for luck and victory this season! The schedule of track meets is as follows: April 28 B. F. A.—Essex Jet. May 1 Windsor May 5 Spaulding May 9 Montpelier May 12 Burlington May 16 Lyndon May 19 Rice Memorial May 26 Northern District June 2 State Meet June 9 New Englands — 92 — THE LAMP 1962 BASEBALL COACH—Mr. Burlingame Captain—Brent Beck The baseball team started its season on April 17, with the annual burning, raking, and general working over of Hazen Field. A goodly number of boys came out for the spring sport, and after a week of hard work on the field, they began to get down to real business: the game of baseball. After winning the North Eastern League Championship last year, you can be sure that this year’s squad will do all in its power to keep the trophy in the halls of St. J. A. Best of luck to Coach Burlingame and his team for the 1962 season. — 93 — THE LAMP 1962 DEAR DIARY: SEPTEMBER Freshmen! Freshmen! Where are they coming from? The halls are packed with bewildered Freshmen, and the Seniors are in their glory. The school has really been busy the last couple of weeks with the humdrum of rules to be learned, many unfamiliar faces to get acquainted with, and new teachers to brownie up. (Just an expression) The school has growing in its back yard a new gym. All the noise of the builders doesn't get one complaint, because it represents more fun and sports for next year. St. J. boys are busy after school with football and cross couuntry. After a long and strenuous week at football camp this August, the boys demonstrated their ability and will power by winning the Burlington game. The Cross Country Team has had its usual good record, with Bobby Peters leading the way and. much to Coach Frey's delight, many Freshmen have demonstrated strong running potential. The school has surely started on the right foot with plenty of spirit and enthusiasm, and now. Dear Diary, I'm praying that the Frosh will remain happy, more games will be won. and work and fun will get along together as a happy medium. That's all until next month, but I’ll keep awake with my note book beside me to gather up anv gossip, headlines, or extraordinary news that might make you prick up your ears and listen. OCTOBER The second month of school, after our exciting summer, is here. It doesn't seem possible, but it is true!! Everything's whizzing right along. Our football team is doing a job along with our cross country team. October 17 was College Day. This day proved to be very helpful to all who attended the meetings held by the different college representatives. October 24 was Parents Night. Many parents came to get reports on us!! Did your folks bring home a satisfactory report on you? As I said in the preceding lines, October is here. There’s beautiful scenery everywhere you look. Everything and everyone is bright, colorful, and gay. I know that this school year is going to be a memorable one, just by the way September and October have opened this term of '62. So. Dear Diary, I will close with this thought. Your school years are the best years of your life. So everyone enjoy them and study hard! 1 See you next month, and let’s hope that November will bring us the same inspiring moments by letting us win the L. 1. football game. NOVEMBER This month was kept active with our last two football games of the season and the expectation and waiting for our Thanksgiving Recess. On November 4 we were really happy to defeat Rice Memorial, and from then on the tension started to mount. One week until the L. I. game! The walls were plastered with signs and the last couple of days chanting between periods could be heard in the halls. You should have seen the PEP we had for That Game, Diary!! I've never seen such spirit in my years and years at the Academy. All was not in vain either, because after the band marched in freezing weather for the Veterans Day Parade in the morning, they turned out for the game to edge on the spirit and send cur team to victory!! It sure was great to hear the Colby Hall bell ring after so many years of silence. After all the excitement and color had died down, we returned to the books for two weeks until the long awaited Thanksgiving Vacation began. DECEMBER This is a short but busy month and the corridors of the Academy display many signs of coming events, and the students just can’t seem to settle down to the daily routine. December came in to the strains of the Dance Band Hop which was a huge success. But with all this hurry-scurry many people were able to settle down and take the College Board Exams, which required a good deal of thinking, as usual. Monday night, December 4. the Band Concert was held in Fuller Hall. A fine attendance enjoyed the selections played by the band and the fine twirling of the majorettes. — 94 — THE LAMP 1962 under the direction of Sandra Burrington. The Band Concert was brought to a close with the music of “Stars and Stripes For-Ever and the Color Guards' fine performance. Much to the surprise of the student body we found during one of our assembly periods that there is someone on the faculty with great vocal talent. This proves there's hidden talent everywhere. Everyone had a “twistin’’ good time at “Christmas with Mr. Bix, December 8. The student body and guests were well entertained by solos, duets, and dancing presented by the Junior Class under the fine direction of Mr. Bixby. On December 15 the Brantview girls and Mrs. Simpson presented the annual and beautiful Brantview Formal entitled “Crystal Mist.” Congratulations, girls, for your fine work. Everyone enjoyed themselves. December 1 8 Fuller Hall was once again filled with a fine audience and the music of the annual Christmas Concert presented by the Glee Club and the Freshmen Singers, under the direction of Mr. Norman Green. The first part of the program was entitled “Heaven and Earth Rejoice” and consisted of several different religious selections. The second half consisted of selections by the Freshmen Singers and additional seasonal songs by the Glee Club. Katherine Butter field and Linda McCuen were the soloists, and the accompanists were Kay Cooley, Susan Crosby, and Charlene Heath. Well. 1 see my month has drawn to a close so soon, so will close for now and finish iny Christmas shopping. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. JANUARY As the Romans would say. “Tempus fugit.” Time does fly. It seems just yesterday we started school with the autumn leaves tumbling everywhere and here it is, already 1962. For a while I thought our ski enthusiasts would be in seventh heaven with all that snow, but some little clouds cried and the rains rushed in. Practicing for the carnival (just in case) would have been hard work without Mother Nature’s co-operation, but I’m sure February will bring storm after storm. One particularly noteworthy event was the exodus of several of our finer musicians to Montreal with music. As usual, we were an enthusiastic and appreciative bunch, especially since our own Mr. Messier had the honor of conducting the orchestra. But into each life a little rain must fall and fall it did. Mid years were the one stain on an otherwise clean blotter, but I survived the ordeal again. Those few free days after exams helped take away some of the sting though. Well. Diary, I guess the new year has been fairly well initiated, and so it’s time to close for I’ve a rendezvous with the Sandman. Night................. FEBRUARY There has been so much fun and excitement this month that it seems as if it's over before it began. For a while it looked as if the Winter Carnival would have to be postponed, but thanks to Mr. Ryan’s pull??! everything finally got under way. Literary Characters” was a rather difficult theme to follow, but it made the Carnival all the more exciting. “Quoth the Seniors ever more—we won the Carnival.” They took first place in the sculpturing with their book and raven. The Sophomores followed with Moby Dick, the great white whale, and in third place were the Juniors and Frankenstein. The Freshmen with Hiawatha placed fourth. Fred Bierlmaier and Jane Ransom again captured the Ski Meister Awards. The Seniors led the Carnival all the way. followed by the Sophomores in second place, the Juniors in third place, and the Freshmen in fourth place. The Snoball with its gay decorations and lively band completed the Winter Carnival Festivities. It seems as if February couldn’t have been successfully completed if we hadn t won both basketball games. The Trade School game conditioned us for the even tougher Lyndonville team, but it seems that the Academy spirit was a little too much for both its opponents. After this month a little rest for all of us is indicated. Oh well, enough of this, I’ve got to get back to work. — 95 — THE LAMP 1962 MARCH Well. March is over and everyone is looking forward to that long awaited April vacation. You can be sure that everyone needs a rest after those horrible tests that last for hours!!! First there were College Boards: then National Merit Tests: and last, but certainly not least, were the exams for the Freshman Testing Program. A general comment could be, ‘Whew! are they rough!!!” On March 16, Room 208 celebrated good old St. Patrick by giving a dance, and I’m sure everyone had fun. Oh yes! “Could you guess where those droopy-eyed sleepwalkers had been!’” Yup. you’re right, the Glee Club had another one of those fabulous but tiring combined Glee Club Concerts, this time with Burlington High School. Oh gosh, seems I'm running out of space, so I’d better sign off until next month. See you then. APRIL Spring is upon us. The budding of trees has begun. The air smells so clean and fresh. Everyone's lawn is coming alive again—turning that tender green. You could tell spring has arrived without even looking out the windows. When you walk down the hall seeing beaming faces, cool summery dresses and sport shirts, you can surmise what to expect outside. Our track team has been making an excellent showing. Mr. Frey and the team surely deserve congratulations. Our spring recess began on April 6 this year. This was surely welcome, because everyone was definitely weary. The winter with its influx of colds entitled everyone to a “restful'' spring vacation. April 17—classes resumed. Everyone was glad to get back and meet all their friends rgain. For some reason homework seemed a lot easier, too. The month of April is drawing to a close, and already summer vacation is just around the corner! MAY Here I am again supplying you with the latest news, memories, and events. May 3. 4. and 5 were three exciting days for those members who participated in the All-State Music Festival in Burlington. Everyone had a good time for themselves making new acquaintances and renewing old friendships. The evening of May 4 engendered fine memories to be cherished by all who attended the Junior Prom, which was held at Frank Adams School. Congratulations, Juniors, on the fine work which made this another successful event for this year. The Talent Show, which was held on the 11 th. sure proved to be a challenge for all this year. All classes are to be congratulated for the exceptional talent that was portrayed. The underclassmen were very busy in their homerooms nominating candidates for incoming Chairman. Secretary, and Student Council Representatives for next year. Once again our hallowed halls displayed many encouraging posters of the campaigning members of the Junior Class for Student Council President. Our Baseball and Track teams are to be commended for the fine sportsmanship and hard work shown this year. That’s the way, boys—SPIRIT! Well, I guess I must close as I see that long-awaited-for month of June is coming up quick, like a bunny! JUNE “June is bustin’ out all over!” The month for preparing final exams and graduation. A busy, busy time! Baseball games, track meets, Last Chapel. Commencement Concert. Baccalaureate. Class Day, Commencement, and last but not least the Senior Prom. The Class of 1962 is about to leave St. J. A. We will miss them. May their lives be busy, happy ones. And now for a well-earned vacation. I will see you in the fall at the start of a new school year. So. good-bye till September. — 96 — THE LAMP 1962 Compliments of Lyndonville Creamery Co., Inc. Lyndonville, Vt.
