2 VERGENNES HIGH SCHOOL WHAT ABOUT OUR NEW SCHOOL? This June, when all of us are leaving Vergennes High for the summer (many of us for good), what a wonderful thought it would be if next fall we could return to a new, modern school. I’m sure the men and women of Vergennes who are fighting and giving their lives on the battle-fronts of the world would want their sons, daughters, brothers and sisters to have a privilege which they did not—to graduate from a modern Vergennes High. What a grand feeling it would give them to know that their home town was backing them to the utmost—by making sure that the younger members of their families were getting the best education money can buy. Most of us have heard older persons saying that we would not know how to use the school if we had it. You and I know this is not so! The high school building must have had fairly good treatment in the past or it wouldn’t have lasted as long as it has. Come on Vergennes, let’s get going! Vergennes High School has served two generations. Now give us of the third generation our chance to do even better. Teresa Jean Bodette.

4 VERGENNES HIGH SCHGOl. Bettie Jean Bacon “Bet” Activities Music 1-2-3-4 Music Festival 1-3-4 Minstrel Show 4 Stunt Night 1 Patrol 2-3-4 My four years in Vergennes High have been worth all the time and effort put into it. The joyous moments while singing at a Music Festival or the Minstrel Shows are pleasant memories that I shall always cherish. Our Patrol practices (preparing for special occasions) were deeply interesting and fun. I came to school in Vergennes from Waltham where 1 have always lived and where I attended a rural school. I was born in 1926 at my home. My hobbies aren’t worth mentioning for they are unconsequential and indefiniie. As for my post high school vocation I am interested in two occupations, one being secretarial training and the other a housewife. My dislikes are few but greatly annoying to me. such as trying to study for a test with a lot of noise bothering me or the screech of chalk against the blackboard. I admire people who stand up for their rights, or perhaps those who look happy while at work. My favorite color is yellow and my favorite of all favorite songs is Hoagy Carmichael’s immortal Stardust. My sincere thanks go to my graded school teachers and my high school teachers who have given me my education.
