Student Council Last Spring the student body of the Vergennes Union High School held its Student Council elections and the following officers were chosen: Donald Peabody, President; Constance Thurber, Vice-President; Audrey Fishman, Secretary; and Claudia Allen, Treasurer. With many new members on the council, learning from the experience of the older ones, we seemed to be ready for much progress. In November, Donald Peabody, Claudia Allen, and Audrey Fishman with our advisor, Mr. Jipp, attended the state convention in Rutland. Many ideas and suggestions were brought back which can help to improve and inspire our own council. A major project of the year has been the preparation of a student handbook. The Point System for student activities has been revised. Charter requirements for the organization of new clubs have been drawn up. Throughout the year the student council has sponsored many dances and sold soda at all school dances. FIRST ROW: Morse, Allen, Peabody, Mr. Jipp, Thurber, Fishman, Ryan. SECOND ROW: Norton, McNulla, Hallock, R. Baldwin, Pilger, White, N. Baldwin, Jackson, Vrooman, Quesnel.
