VERGENNES HIGH SCHOOL Jacqueline Myers “Jacky” Activities Patrol 1-2-3-4 Music Girls' and Mixed Chorus) 1-2-3-4 Minstrel Show 1-2-3 Stunt Night 1-2 Christmas Play 3-4 Class Presentations 4 Basketball 1-3-4 Cheer leading 2-3 Music Festival 1-3-4 Scorekeeper Boys’ Baseball and Basketball 3-4 I was bom and that’s all that’s necessary. 1 guess. The place, little as you may believe it, was Burlington. Our family turned nomad soon after I reached the age of five with our move to Ticonderoga and then to Plattsburg. X .Y. Vermont still called us home though, so that it was possible for me to continue my education in V. H.S. School here was very strange to me at first, but I soon got the “knack” of it and then everything seemed to sail smoothly. My most exciting experience in high school was the chance for me to accompany the boys’ baseball team to Rutland to the tournament as their scorekeeper. I also enjoyed keeping score for basketball. My chief ambition is to attend business college then to work two or three years. Marriage will come after that. I hope. My favorite subject in school is bookkeeping and typing runs a close second. My dislikes are nosey people and liver; my likes ice cream and going to movies and dances. My hobbies are roller skating and collecting movie stars and poems. I would like to leave my ability to get out of a tight squeeze to the class of ’46, especially the girls.

16 VERGENNES HIGH SCHOOE In 1941 I entered Vergennes High School, which seemed quite different from elementary school, where we had three students in the eighth grade. I was born in Burlington, Vt., 1927, and have always lived in North Fer-risburg. My favorite subjects in high school are general science, home economics, biology, typing and English. 1 haven't any hobbies, but reading and sewing are my favorite pastimes. I have several dislikes, but the principal one is American History. Among my likes ice cream is first on the list. When I finish school. I would like to take nurses’ training, although I haven’t made any plans.
