22 VERGENNES HIGH SCHOJL Audrey Tucker “Tuck” Activities Glee Club 2-3-4 Stunt Night 1-2 Minstrel 1-2-3 Patrol 1-2-3-4 Mixed Chorus 2-3-4 Tri-School Music Festival 2-3-4 Secretary of Class 2 Art for Blue and White 4 Basketball Manager 3-4 To start with, I was born in Burlington. 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.

24 VERGENNES HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1945 When sorrows cloud our happiness, We’ll recall our high school days; And all will end in happiness Beneath the sun’s warm rays. Vergennes will always he wiih us. As onward we shall go Through life with tribulations. Beneath the sun’s warm glow. Our teachers will be in our hearts; Their guidance will remain. For we are of a new world Where unknown is the rain. And we shall keep it sunny. For this we learned in school. That no man can ever dominate Where God is Christian Rule! So now we part, this Senior Class, Our hopes we’ll keep alive; For we shall find a new world This Class of Forty-five. And generations will live on; Because others fought for peace. That we and future Seniors May live where wars have ceased. So when we part we’ll keep in mind Those who helped us through Four years of school in Vergennes High. When skies were bright and blue. We’ll not forget they died that we Could live our peaceful lives. That we could graduate this year The Class of Forty-five! Mary Ellen Goodspeed.
