I like people, music, dogs and sports. Because my father is a farmer I have always lived in the country. Although vny temper isn’t as peaceful as the farm on which I live, I try to control it. My pet peeves are dirt and sticky make-up. In my spare time I work in a drug store, because 1 like it. Really, it’s fun to jerk sodas. At the present, I am trying to decide if I want to be a secretary or teacher.

From that time on I became interested in the activities of the school, and it seems only yesterday that T joined the Safety Patrol. To me. my Sophomore year seemed more outstanding. also the easiest because I enjoyed the subjects I was taking, especially Latin. It was the year in which the four upper classes competed in collecting scrap for our local scrap drive. We were the winning class and besides being patriotic, we had a lot of fun and it offered keen competition. I like music, dancing, all sports, spring (the season), a good sense of humor and originality. I dislike winter, tripe and people who don't mind their own business. My favorite hobby is eating! My ambition—oh. I bet some people doubt if 1 have any. but I have, even if its only to be employed in a doctor’s office.

12 VERGENNES HIGH SCHOOf Mary E. Goodspeed “Shorty'1 Activities Class Poem 4 Literary Editor 3-4 Music 2-3-4 Music Festival 2-3 Patrol 4 Stunt 1-2 I started school in Vergennes the fall of ’41. It was an interesting experience after attending a rural school of eight to twelve pupils for five years. Running from room to room seemed to me a complicated procedure and the noise confused me. Gradually I became accustomed to the pandemonium and now find myself an “old trooper” in the senior class. I was born in Islip, Long Island, in '28, approximately fifty miles from Manhattan I have lived in Vermont eight years and can truthfully say that Vermont is the most beautiful state I have yet seen. I havex the desire to be a journalist. I sincerely hope I shall find my vocation in that field. I like sincere people; frank, but not rudely so; I like people who can say “hello” to poor “Mrs Murphy” as well as to “Deacon Jones.” My disikes are few. Dandelion greens is one; corn}' music is another. My hobbies are limited because I don’t spend much time with them, but my favorite pastime is collecting poems and outstanding quotations. My favorites in entertainment are movies and music. Dana Andrews, Gregory Peck. Rita Haywortb and Alice Faye are my preference in stars. My favorite subjects are English and shorthand. To the class of 1946 I leave my love of poetry and Abraham Lincoln’s philosophy of life: “God must have loved the common people ... he made so many of them.”
