I was born in the beehive of the world, New York City. For a good share of my younger days I lived there and was educated. Later I moved to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Returning to New York City, I found life dull, so I took a trip to Vermont. Here I found my element. I would like to teach psychology or swimming. One of my most exciting experiences was winning the George Washington High School Science Medal as the most outstanding pupil in the science curriculum. My favorite subjects have been Chemistry and American history. My favorite hobbies include skiing, hunting, trapping and dancing. One of the ways to improve Vergennes High School would be a week dedicated to senior activities, i will to the coming Senior Class our zest for achievement.

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.

December 2, 1927. After this event I was brought back to Vergennes where I have lived and gone to school ever since. At the beginning of our Freshman year, we became full-fledged members of Vergennes High, after going through one of the most vigorous initiations any class has had to suffer. These four years have passed quickly. Maybe it was because we always had a good time. I liked by Sophomore year the best, mostly because of the scrap drive, which we won. 1 have no special hobbies but I like to draw occasionally. As for my likes, I prefer dancing, basketball, people with a swell sense of humor and movies. I dislike people with bad tempers, loudness and people who can’t take a joke. My favorite color is blue. I would like to go into Nurse’s Training, that is my first choice. 1 also would like to do interior decorating.
