After iniation we were considered a part of the high school and we went out to get all we could out of it both in studies and in social activities. 1 think 1 enjoyed basketball more than any other activity during these years. We were supposed to learn sportsmanship, co-operation and co-ordination between mind and body which I think most of us did. My likes are very numerous including sundaes, food in general, most sports, dancing, swimming, boating and good movies. I am planning to enter nurses’ training this September at the Cambridge Hospital, Cambridge, Mass. Many from our class are entering this field which is growing due to the needs of our country.

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.

One of my nicest experiences was being chosen as a delegate to Girls’ State, and my greatest will be graduation. My dislikes are few. Among them are winter, hill-billy music, and artificiality. Some of my likes are music—both classical and popular, swimming and boating. My favorite color is green; favorite foods are numerous. 1 like people who are honest, natural, and interesting. My ambition is to be a success in the secretarial field and to plan and decorate my own home.
