BLUE AND WHITE SHIP AHOY! THIRTY-SIX! Ahoy! Ahoy! Now we must leave, But memories we shall retrieve. From thoughts most precious to our heart From high school days now we must part. The halls where we have daily tread, The secrets we have left unsaid The friends whom we have daily met, Now we will leave but not forget. The sea now beckons us to come, And so, our school and studies done, We part for foreign lands today— And none can tell whence lies our way. Lottie Gates

6 VERGENNES HIGH SCHOOL CLASS ROLL John Carroll Ball Kathleen Grace Belden “A man he seems of cheerful yesterdays, and confident tomorrows.” Somewhere behind that engaging grin may be found a Senior of quiet demeanor while in school, but who, after 3:15, suddenly blossoms out into anything but the shy lad he seems at first glance. But for all his pranks he is a very valuable member of our crew. Good Luck, Jack! Kenneth Carroll Barney “A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the wisest men.” “Aw, he can’t even wiggle his ears.” In case you’re wondering at that statement it does not refer to his auditory organs, but is the always forgotten line in the Senior play. Ken is one of those good natured sailors in demand for everything, from basket ball and base ball to being an authority on the territory on the opposite side of the river. Cheerio, Ken! Maynard Oliver Barrows “Where looks are merchandise And smiles are sold.” Maynard is the boy who just has to be begged for a smile, but when you finally get it—it was worth all the trouble. And those eyes—they certainly made a hit in “Bab.” And being leading man is not the only kind of hit little Myanard is known for, either—for he has done some mighty hitting and fielding for V. H. S. Best Wishes, Maynard! “Cookery has become an art—a noble science.” Kay appears to be one of those shy little girls for which the class of ’36 is famous—that is—until you know her. Then-—oh my! She is always on hand to help in Class activities—and her candy is known and sold wherever there is a candy sale. And when she grows too old to dream—well we won’t go into that—• All good wishes, Kay! Margaret Elouise Bodette “If I should be a queen tomorrow, I’d do this way.” Meg, with her regal air, is one of the mainstays of the class and it was those same queenly graces which helped her to a place in the Hall of Fame, for her portrayal of the debutante sister in “Bab.” As Secretary of the Senior Class, she should be complimented for keeping the records of the class straight. Happy Future, Meg! Margaret Evelyn Booth “Those move easiest who have learned to dance.” A more versatile lady cannot be found in the Senior Class, when it combs to physical endurance. For Marg can fly about classrooms all day, captain a winning basket ball team in the evening, and then dash off to outdance every other girl in the county for the rest of the night. But there are brains inside that riotous exterior, for Marg made Pro Merito, too. Good times ahead, Marg!
