It is the baby’s night out, and I must stay at home with the nurse.” Audrey Tucker: Engaged to five girls at once? How do you explain such shameless conduct, John?

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?

 BLUE AND WHITE 27 A REVIEW OF A SCHOOL YEAR The High School Safety Patrol was organized early in the year with Martha Partch as its captain. This organization which was formed six years age-lias established an excellent record m the prevention of accidents. Their drill team has provided entertainment a: many of the high school functions. It is conducted under the supervision ot Mr. Zickler. A Latin club was formed by members of the Latin classes under the leadership of their teacher, Mrs. Nelson. The following officers were elected: President. Edith Griffith; secretary. Nancy Partch messenger, Ernest Chapman. The motto which they have chosen is “Ad astra per aspera.” The Freshman class held a party in the gym October 4. chaperoned by Mrs. Nelson and Mr. Berry. There were several assemblies during the year. At one, Rabbi Metzger gave an interesting talk on the problem of Germany. Dances were he'd at the gym several Friday nights until we made enough money to buy a public address system and record case. A Round Table club was organized under the supervision of Mr. Templeton. It is a discussion group for current problems of all types. The Junior Class had a Hallowe’en dance at the gym. Prizes for best costumes went to Francis Burroughs and Viola Moses. Freshman class started a debating club under the supervision of Mrs. Patterson, the civics teacher. Debates were held on Friday afternoons. The school purchased a new Da-Lite screen to show slides and motion pictures. The American history and religion classes and the eighth grade enjoyed the slides several times during the year. Several members of the American History Class were on a debating team which entertained the Rotary on the subject “Compulsory Military Training After the War.’’ Edna Gilson, Ray Nelson, Frances Casey and Carolyn Chapman were on the affirmative side, while Chester Buchanan, Virginia Powers, Hugh Clark and Jackie Mvers were on the negative side. The affirmative team won, but the negative team did a good job too. The annual high school minstrel show was held April 10. James Mc-Evila was interlocutor with a supporting cast which included George Bibeau. Walt Wood, Donald Spooner, Bernard Dike. Art Taylor, Warren Dolan. Jean LeBeau and Jean Myers. It was held in the gymnasium, which was filled tct overflowing. Peggy Miles and Frances Casey sent in entries to the “Fourth Annual School Exhibition of Paintings, Drawings and Crafts” at the Fleming Museum in Bui-lington. Peggy’s entries were four drawings, two water colors, one charcoal and one pastel. We have had a busy school year and accomplished a lot. It was fun and we hope the students of V. H. S. will have as good a time next year. Beverley Clark
