BLUE AND WHITE 9 Florence Anna Husk “Content of spirit must from knowledge flow.” Still waters run deep, and if you don’t believe it just look up Florence’s record. She pulls A’s out of Chemistry class like a magician pulls rabbits out of a hat! And bes'des that her deportment marks are l’s. But nevertheless she is always ready with a smile or cherry laugh, and a lot of sound philosophy. All good wishes, Florence! Patricia Faith Kenyon “The woman that loves and laughs Must sure do well”— To call Faith valedictorian would be belittling. In her Senior year, she was Edtor-in-Chief of the “Blue and White,” Manager of Girls’ Basketball (for politeness we’ll omit other managerships). We hear Faith is going to Pratt next year, to learn designing—good luck! She seems to have been doing passing designing this year on Pratt. On the serious side of life Faith is a Varsity Basketball player, foremost in all school activities and she did pull some good laughs in the Senior Play, “Bab.” Cheerio, Faith! Charles William Laughton “Heaven is here, where Juliet lives.” Charlie is a new comer to our class, but has already distinguished himself by his romantic and athletic conquests. In fact, he has become completely at home, in school as well as on East St. And that bass voice is well known, whether it’s duets or debates in which he’s partaking. Best Wishes, Charlie! Kathleen Marion LeBoeuf “Jack shall pipe, and Jill shall dance.” Kay has been with us only three years out of the four, but she is a permanently established member of the Senior Class. She lost no time in settling down to a prominent place in the activities of the school. We know she can dance, as proved by her many appearances teamed up with Ken. Also, we hear vague rumors of orange blossoms,. sometime after graduation. All good wishes, Kay! Elmer Edward Masters “You have wak’d me too soon. I must slumber again.” Quiet he is. even to the extent of sleeping in English Class. However, there are others in the Senior Class who find this disease chronic also, so he’s not alone. But nevertheless, he wakes up when a mention of Boy Scouts is made, for he takes an active interest in Scouting, and is a loyal member of the Vergennes Troop, and a link in the chain of ’36. Good luck, Elmer! Helna Lila McEvila “If I could write the beauty of your eyes!” “Are your eyes blue?” If you hear this remark, you may know that Helna is somewhere near. And when she mentions “a long, winding hill” you may be sure that she means “Stony Hill.” We wonder if that consuming interest comes from a too close association with Bristol and its citizens. But she does recall her mind to V. H. S. often enough to prove herself a valuable member of the class. Happy days, Helna!

8 VERGENNES HIGH SCHOOL Beatrice Millicent Cook “A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.” When the Senior Class has the blues they seem to turn to “Cookie”; she has a smile for even the darkest “situations” —pardon me. He may be a blonde (with very curly hair.) But upon necessity she can assume a dignified air—refer to Senior Play. Casually however, she reminds one of the Cheshire cat of “Alice in Wonderland”—the smile is the last thing to fade away. Cheerio, Bee! Clinton Garland Douglas “The dead of midnight Is the noon of thought.” The Class of ’36—or any class could well have many like Bob, active in all sports and school activities. However, 4 A. M. arrivals don’t speak too well for the next day’s game—witness the night he got lost near Chimney Point. Witness also his juvenile spirit, portrayed by the cigar smoking episode in “Bab.” Happy days, Bob! Hilton Vincent Forrest “Sport, that wrinkled care derides, And laughter holding both his sides.” ’36 wouldn’t be ’36 without Hilt. If you hear gales of laughter and see everyone gasping in a hysterical state, you may be sure that tall, dark, n’hand-some is somewhere near by. “And he has such pretty hair!” Only, don’t get within arm’s reach when you tell him so! Hilt is a swell fellow, even if he does have a time controlling a certain Irish lady, And in anything the crowd is planning—the quartet is always present—with Hilt clowning, as usual. Happy Days, Hilt! Lottie Rena Gates “The poet in a golden clime was born, With golden stars above.” Lottie, the poetess, has been with us only two years, but in that time has established herself firmly. She sees poetry in everything, with the exception of the class money bags, which she holds. And keeping the monetary affairs of our class straight is some task. Only a few days ago, we heard her asking Hilt what happened to the dollar used on a trip to Burlington “on business.” But they can’t kid the Treasurer. She knows the “Flynn.” Anyway; her mind is not all money or poetry. We hear she’s giving a certain Junior girl a lot of competition. Good Luck, Lottie! Bernice Carlene Hurlburt “Give to barrows, trays, and pans, Grace and glimmer of Romance.” No one ever saw Bernice feel badly until Stunt Nite, and then she sure turned on the waterworks for the benefit of the audience. She ranks A-l when it comes to being good natured. Bernice plans to study Home Economics next year, but as far as we know, she hasn’t decided whether it will be for professional or home use. All good wishes, Bernice! Mary Evelyn Husk “Wisdom married to immortal verse” Good things often are hidden beneath the most quiet of surfaces, and Evelyn proves the rule. She has all the essential qualities of a poet and dreamer, and yet, unlike most, she sees and attends to the practical side of life, also. She richly deserves her place as Honor Student, for her marks are the despair and envy of every one of her fellow students. Good luck, Evelyn!

10 VERGENNES HIGH SCHOOL Harold Ray Moulton “He that by the plough would thrive Himself must either hold or drive.” What would the Senior Class do without the Farmer’s helping hand and helping truck ? They are both indispensable whenever a card party or entertainment is planned, and as for the Senior Play! ! Well, his was one of the cars which wandered toward Ferrisburg to view race horses! And if it weren’t for his generous and responsible nature. neighboring rows would often be without monitor slips! Best wishes, Harold! Wilbur Hamblin Pratt “He never burns the midnight oil In search of useless knowledge.” We all think so highly of Bill and his ideas that we elected him Class President in both our Junior and Senior years. And besides all that, he has held so many F. F. A. and school offices that it makes us dizzy to think of them. But the office that seemed to occupy his attention most during his Senior year was his managership. We won’t say of what! His scholastic standing testifies, however, that some t hought goes into things other than driving between Main St. and Lakeside Boulevard. Cheerio, Bill! Isabel Rogers “When night darkens the street, Then wander forth”— She seems to be shy, but—lately have you noticed? She has taken unto herself an all consuming interest which may be viewed in the vicinity of the library, any night in the week. Perhaps the outward shyness which she has shown for the past years has been the means of securing the marks which placed her high on the Pro Merito list. Her friendship is a valuable link in the chain of ’36. James Cunningham Smith, II “The Smith, a mighty man is he . . ” If knowledge were riches, Jim would be dripping with diamonds and pearls set in platinum. He has been with us only one year, but we have all been duly impressed with his intellectual and scientific powers. He is the only one in the Chemistry class who can seem to rattle Mr. Patterson’s suavity in the least, and for that reason, as well as many others, is esteemed by all others in the class. Smooth sailing, Jim! Ethel Mae Sorrell “By night comes counsel to the wise.” About 1 :30 the night of the Junior Prom, we saw a shadowy form gliding along the street .on the opposite side of the river. . . No ... we aren’t going to say whom else we saw, but don’t forget that night air is considered unhealthy ! Ethel isn’t given to nocturnal wanderings, but then, the most unusual things can happen Prom night! Ethel is a mainstay in the class, and a candy sale couldn’t function without her. Besides this, she was a very important item in the music Festival trip. Ask her! Best wishes. Ethel! Elinor Louise Sullivan “How silver—sweet sound lover’s tongue by night.” If you see “Porge” in the vicinity, you may be sure “Suki” isn’t far away. You know how it is . .In the spring a young girl’s fancy . . . but this isn’t only Spring, but Summer, Fall and Winter. It’s quite evident that Suki’s first three years at V. H. S. may be thanked for her high honor marks . . . Since “Porge” has been around we haven’t noticed her studying much. And judging from what some of the Editorial staff hint the old rhyme about “Georgie Porgie” doesn’t hold true. Not the second and fourth lines anyway. Good luck, Isabel. Smooth sailing, Suki!
