BLUE AND WHITE 19 CLASS HISTORY As we look hack four short years to 1946, we remember how we entered Vergennes High School and took our places in the Freshman Class. We started our class activities by electing the following class officers: President. Norma Bodette; Vice President, Mary Charbonneau ; Secretary, Allan Mack ; and Treasurer, James Smith. Then came Freshman initiation day, which proved to be a lot of fun, even though everyone had dreaded its coming. That night the Seniors held a reception for us in the Gymnasium and we officially became members of Vergennes High School. We started our Sophomore year by electing Vincent Mallow President; Alan Langeway, Vice President; Clement Loobv, Secretary; and William Roberts, Treasurer. This year stunt night was held and although our class did not win, everyone had a good time taking part in it. Our Junior year the class officers were: President, Vincent Mallow; Vice President, Henry Sisters; Secretary, Stephanv Thompson; and Treasurer, Alan Langeway. During the year the class worked hard to earn enough money to put on a Junior prom that we could really be proud of. Through the winter months our class sponsored vie dances on Friday evenings and this helped towards the Prom. The Prom was held on June 3. The Gym was elaborately decorated in green and silver. Evergreen boughs were placed from the floor midway up to the walls and the rest of the wall was covered with green and white streamers. The Storm of Colors was again employed with two crystal balls revolving from the ceiling and creating a very pleasing color effect. The music for the Prom was furnished bv The Ambassadors. a twelve piece orchestra from Barre, Vermont. We all thought that our Prom was the best one ever held, although of course we may be a little prejudiced. Delegates from the Junior Class to go to Girls’ State and Boys’ State were chosen. Barbara Charbonneau and Stephany Thompson were chosen to go to Girls’ State and Alan Langeway, Clement Looby, and James Smith were chosen for Boys’ State. They all had a very good time and their stay proved very educational as well as entertaining. Our Senior year, for class officers we elected Henry Sisters, President; Alan Langeway, Vice President; Norma Bodette. Secretary ; and William Baldwin, Treasurer. The first big event of the year was the Senior play. Under the direction of Miss Moulton, our class presented a three act comedy, entitled “Beauty and the Beef.” Everyone contributed something towards producing the play and it was a big success. During the year the class sold candy and soft drinks at recess time and at basketball games to help raise funds for the class trip to Montreal to attend the Ice Follies. On Friday. February 10. the class left by chartered bus for Montreal and the Follies. We stayed at the Laurentian Hotel which which was a fairly new hotel and found it very nice. The Follies were every bit as good as we had expected them to be and we could not help thinking how much work and planning had gone into the producing of them. Saturday morning different members of the class went shopping and sightseeing. Saturday, afternoon the class boarded the bus and started the trip home. Everyone enjoyed the trip and Ice Follies very much and will always remember them. Stephany Thompson was chosen as Vergennes’ Good Citizenship Girl of the year. On April 11, the American History class visited County Court in Burlington. The case heard was a very interesting one and the presiding judge gave us a brief account on court procedure. Mr. Berry also made arrangements and Windsor Prison on May 2. (Continued on page 22)
