BLUE AND WHITE DRIPPINGS In the spring a young man’s fancy turns to love. This weather is bad for mud holes, but Sheehan and Panton must have found some other, place to park the car —at least we haven’t heard of their being stuck lately! If anyone wants a few lessons on how to “land the Fleet’’ (preferably Chief Petty Officers) maybe Carolyn Chapman can help you out! Ginny Powers was seen around town one late Saturday night in the early spring with a certain tall, dark guy who used to be a member of the class of ’45. Nice technique, Ginny. What happened to the certain tow-head that towed Martha Partch to the movies one night? Did the Navy beat him out? Edna Gilson seems to be having quite a time with those landlady’s brothers— we guess the late hours are too much for her! Song Dedications “ 1 he Fleet's In” to Carolyn Chapman “Together” to Walter Wood and Esther Bristol “I Love You” to John Sheehan and Kay Panton “Somebody Else Is Taking Your Place” to Ileafi Danyow “Wait for Me, Mary” to Mary Ellen Goodspeed “Tonight and Every Night” to Clovis Yandow and Kay Evarts “I Miss Your Kiss” to Ginny Powers “Bring on the Girls” to Art Taylor “The Very Thought of You to Bet-tie Bacon “My Heart Belongs to a Sailor” to Martha Partch “You’d Be So Nice to Come Home to” to Ernest Chapman from the Sophomore Girls “Don’t Fence Me In” to Georgie Bib-eau It’s too bad the last bus leaves for the north at 11 p. m., Kay. It doesn’t give you much time, does it? Instead of Jackie Myers having a String of Pearls” around her neck, she seems to have a string of men. Only it looks as if the string had broken. “There's Beauty Everywhere” to Mr. Templeton “I Wish I Knew” to Ray Nelson “You Moved Right In” to Art Taylor and Jean LeBeau “I Want to Live In Love” to Clark Hugh Bev Clark also goes for the fleet, and in a big way! But is it just the fleet, Bev? “Umbriago” to Coach Palermo “In My Merry Oldsmobile” to Ramona Lackard Who is Audrey’s present flame? Or is Middlebury still going strong? Say, Mary, what’s the idea of Wolf-ie’s closing the door to the ticket office shortly after nine o’clock? Heh, Ilean—who’s tops now—Army, Navy .Marines or Air Corps? “One O’Clock Jump” to Edna Gilson “Here Comes the Navy” to Bev Clark “Let Me Kiss You Tonight” to Chester Buchanan “I’ve Been Working On The Railroad” to Archie LeBeau and Jacky Myers

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.

Mr. Palermo: Boy, did I get a good rest. That country air is so invigorating that not once did I pay a doctor hill. Mrs. Adams: Apparently not. There are six of them under your door now.
