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.

K. S. four years ago, I was very confused and out of place, but gradually a feeling of ‘'belonging'’ came to me until now I can look back on those four years as very pleasant ones. My likes are many ; my dislikes, few, a number of the latter being cowboy music and artificial people. I enjoy good books, most movies, individuals, and popular music.
