 BLUE AND WHITE 19 Grace Sears “Scissors” Activities Glee Club 2-3-4 Stunt Night 1-2 Basketball 1-2-3-4 Minstrel 1-2-3 Safety Patrol 1-2-3-4 Girl Scouts 1 Hiking Club 1 F One of my most exciting times during my four years at Vergennes Pligh was the clay the Drill Team went to Burlington to march in the annual parade and we won first prize. This happened my first year in high and it’s one of the times I won’t forget because many things happened after we found out that we had won first prize. My favorite hobbies are collecting small novelties of all kinds and baby pictures. Faorvite sports are basketball, baseball, football and horse racing. I dislike mushrooms and people who brag' and talk too much. I like to dance and have a good time with a group my own age. Two people I like the most in the world are my Mom and Dad; as for the third one I haven’t made up my mind to that as yet. It’s either a certain Sailor or a certain Marine! My ambition is to work in the Navy Department in Washington or to settle down to the peaceful and quite life of a housewife. My favorite music is popular songs by Dick Haynes or Bing Crosby and I like the Navy Bard. My four years in high school I believe will be the best times of my life and I shall never forget them.

20 VERGENNES HIGH SCHOOL John Sheehan ■“Jake” Activities Baseball 3-4 Basketball 4 Music 3-4 Minstrel Show 3-4 Christmas Concert 4 Blue and White 4 My most interesting experience, I found in school was the fall of 44 when volunteer pupils of Vergennes High School helped in picking apples at the Loomis Farm. I was born in Charlotte, Nov. 22. 1927. My future is undecided. I like plenty of fun and excitement at all times; with plenty of entertainment, such as sports. I want a nice place to live with plenty of delicious food. My dislikes are school and not being able to attend different social affairs. To the class of '46 and especially the boys. I’d like to leave my power of getting out of trouble the way 1 have in the last four years. Yvonne Sullivan “Sully Activities Mixed Chorus 1-2-3-4 Girls’ Music 1-2-3-4 Stunt Night 1-2 Minstrel Show 1-2-3 Patrol 1 In the town of Panton on a rainy summer day. the tenth of September, 1927. I, Yvonne Martha Sullivan, opened my mouth for the first time and it has never been closed since. As 1 proceed along life’s dusty roads. I find my likes and dislikes continuously changing. I find myself with the rest of the girls swooning at Van Johnson’s jitterbugging till the 12 o’clock curfew and swimming when summer permits. A really good book is my greatest dislike, and 1 mustn’t forget work which tops my list. My ambition is to be a multimillionaire. but I will settle for a good hair dressing school. My future is as blank as my past but if the war is over by 1950 then 1 hope to catch a handsome hunk of man.
