Left to right: Peter Ripchik, Benjamin Gould, Mrs. Allen Clark, Lloyd W. Moulton V. H. S. Down the Champlain Valley Where the hills are rolling wide, We find a little high school Where there's a lot of spirit and pride. This is not merely a building Where we congregate each day: It is truly a high school Where we come to learn and play. It has always been a school With sportsmanship so true. They always fought for the White, They will always fight for the Blue. After leaving this little high school And seeking a higher goal, We find that in our life, this school Played an important role. As we look into the future, We can hear the people say, 'I went to Vergennes High School And l'm proud of it today. Barbara Clark '54
