He left for further service to humanity to organize and build a missionary high school in Micronesia. For this and his fine work here, we wish to dedicate the 1965 Blue and White to him. We extend our sincerest gratitude for his guidance and inspiration as our teacher and assistant principal and commend him for his courage in advancing the cause of education.

Superintendent's Message To the Class of 1965: It is my pleasure and privilege through this yearbook to extend congratulations and best wishes to the class of 1965. To offer advice to you, who have just completed four of the best years of your lives, is a difficult task, so I shall attempt to give you very little. Not failure, but low aim is a saying which I think of many times. What will you do with what you have? Whatever your plans, you should fit yourself for intelligent citizenship. Remember that the completion of your secondary course has not finished your education. You carry with you my sincere wish that your future years will be bright and happy ones. Superintendent of Schools To the Student Body: May this yearbook remind us all of the school year 1964-1965. It is my sincere hope that it has been a happy and educational year for each of us, and that the experiences which we have encountered during this year will help us to improve our minds, our bodies, and our personalities so we may better serve our fellow men. 'Ll, Principal Principals Message School Board Provides Top Quality Education The school board is the top governing body in the Addison Northwest School System. It is ultimately the responsibility of the board to sustain the school and provide for its future. This includes such exacting tasks as shaping the curriculum, balancing the budget, and hiring the administrators and faculty. Of course the primary concern of the board is providing students with the best education possible. Since the board serves such an important function, its members are chosen by popular vote. The number of representatives allotted to a town depends on its size. Vergennes and Ferrisburg have two members each: Mrs. Samuel Fishman and Mr. Robert Ryan represent Vergennes; Mrs. Robert Beach and Mr. Clifford Harris, Ferrisburg. Addison, Waltham, and Panton have one each: Mrs. Wilbur Pratt, Mr. Dwight Burnham, and Mr. Kenneth Sullivan respectively. MRS. O'BRIEN MRS. ThURBER Secretary to the Principal The school board would like to take this opportunity to commend the yearbook staff and advisors for their diligent efforts and excellent results; we know that in the future the 1964-65 Blue and White will bring back many memorable moments of the enjoyabl days gone by.

Yearbook Staff Produces Largest Book Ever The yearbook staff has worked for weeks and months to produce the largest book Vergennes has ever had. Credit should be given to the Senior Editors, Linda Griffith and Paul LeBeau, and to the typists, Marcia Hanson, Darlene Smith, Kathy Field, Linda LeClair, and Betty Bigelow. As. Editors, Louise Chamberlain, Jane Clark, Mary Allen, Suzanne Torrey, Mike Cote, and Allen Tucker deserve praise. Mike Cote and Ronald Riel excelled in photography.

Student Council Leads School Through A Productive Year The Student Council is composed of two representatives from each of the six classes in the school and one representative from each organization. Its highest aim is to serve the student body. Receiving suggestions through its suggestion box m the library, it attempts to negotiate with the school administration in promoting student point of view in a responsible way. The Council is responsible for amassing and recording all points earned by students in extracurricular activities each year. In the spring the Council-sponsored Vocations Conference brings to all Sophomores and Juniors an opportunity to meet with outstanding leaders in the vocational fields of interest to these students. The social highlights of the year were the Freshman Reception, Sadie Hawkins Dance and a Bermuda Hop. In Pursuit of Excellence In September of 1964 the Otter Valley Chapter of the National Honor Society elected the following officers: President—Sally Knowlton, Vice-President—Ann Roberts, Treasurer—Pamela Newton, and Secretary—Anna Sargent. The honorary society has four cardinal principles, which all the members must have for admittance. These are character, leadership, service and scholarship, which is signified by attainment of at least an academic average of 85. The first installation of this academic year was on December 15. The following members were inducted: Michael Cote, Edward Dubois, Carolyn Cushman, Jane Maloney, and Richard Osgood. Under the leadership of Mr. Armand Crevier the Honor Society sponsored the second-annual Sweetheart Ball on February 19, in the high school cafeteria.

Projects are chosen from the students' field of interest and provide an opportunity to become intimately acquainted with scientific techniques. A board of officers is chosen each month to coordinate the activities. At each meeting, several students are chosen to demonstrate various aspects of their projects and lively group discussions usually ensue. Guest speakers, films and field trips are added features to stimulate interest. FIRST ROW: Booska, Norton, Pierce, Mr. Ranney, Mr. Ganson, Mr. Reczek, Norton, Coffey, Jackman; MIDDLE ROW: D.

Librarians Place Knowledge At Our Fingertips To Be A Librarian A good test of the career possibilities of any vocation is to find out how much satisfaction that work gives. By this test, librarianship ranks high. Ten students in our school are making this test and are finding that to be a librarian requires intelligence, training, a sense of humor, and a real desire to help. The librarian constantly lets people know what is ready and waiting to be used and then brings just the right book or service to the person who needs it. Every librarian welcomes this challenge. Student librarians must be recommended by a teacher, pass all subjects, have high citizenship rating, have a willingness to do any task assigned, and have a neat and attractive appearance. Better understanding of library services is an outcome of pupil life. 64 FRONT ROW: Crown, Munnett, Strobridge, Mr. Latuch, Mr� . Berry, Dubois, Tucker, Vrooman, J. Ryan; MIDDLE ROW: L.

Press Club Keeps Us Informed The VUHS Press Club of 1964-65 with faculty advisors, Mr. Royal Latuch and Mrs. Constance Berry, had a very busy year establishing a regular monthly schedule for the Commodores' Comments. The organization also introduced a weekly publication called the Friday Flyer. Although the club was originally staffed mainly by seniors, it was occupied in the second semester recruiting underclassmen for editorial positions for next year. The '64-'65 edition of the Press Club hopes VUHS will have a strong newspaper staff for the years to come. od FRONT ROW: Dickey, Colomb, Anderson, Forand, Adams, AAr.

Cross-Country Team Places In State Meet Runners Galore! The 1964 Cross Country Squad had all the 1963 runners among its members. Competition was improved and Vergennes scheduled hard meets. Experienced runners, Wayne Crown, Leo Moulton, Roy Ashley, Dick Thurber, and Steve Strobridge, paced the team to a 16 win—5 loss season. Victories came over Middlebury, Rochester, Otter Valley Union, Winooski, and Waterbury. The team's losses were to defending State Champions Rice Memorial, Burlington, and Rutland. Vergennes took fifth place in the State Meet, finishing with a total of 195 points. Leo Moulton paced Vergennes, finishing 27th followed closely by Roy Ashley 29th, Wayne Crown 34th, Terry Estey 39th, and Steve Strobridge 66th.

This year of success was due not only to an experienced backfield but also in great part to the team effort throughout the season. As the season progressed, the team improved because of their increased knowledge of the fundamentals of soccer. The freshmen on the team gave depth to the squad and allowed the coach to use two different offenses and defenses. The team is looking forward to next year for they will have a more experienced front line and a good backfield. The team will greatly miss four seniors: Pete Hatch, fullback; Thomas Barrows, center half-back; Terry Estey, inside; and Louie Muzzy, goalie. Congratulations to Coach Donald Culver and his team for a great season! Only the Coach can tell Art the playsl Commodores Finish Difficult Season The Vergennes Commodores finished a very difficult but instructive season with a record of 6 wins—11 losses. At the beginning of the season, forty boys showed up for basketball practice; by the end sixteen remained. These were the most enthusiastic boys who really wanted to represent the school. The Varsity squad was composed of many sophomores and freshmen. These younger members helped to keep the team going and so increase team spirit. Of course we can't neglect to mention the seniors, Norman LeBoeuf, Pete Hatch, and Pete Munnett, for their great contributions to the team. The whole team played hard and played to win. In the course of the year the Vergennes squad met many squads more experienced than their own. Though the losses outweighed the wins, the Commodores never gave up and they feel they learned a lot from having such tough competition. Congratulations to Coach Culver and his team for the great effort put forth in the 1964-65 Basketball Season.

Their final record included fourteen wins and a mere three losses. The fine achievement of the team has been attributed to the boys' excellent attitude and sincere effort to make their team victorious. Pat Hatch and Howard Smith did a fine job at rebounding. Gene LeBeau, playmaker for the team, provided the spark that kept the boys going. The high scorers were Danny Howland and Bob M -chand. Dave Quesnel, Gary Poquette, and Phil Briggs did their part by filling in for other players. It looks as if this team will provide a good nucleus for successful teams of the future. Congratulations to Coach Matt and his team for the rewarding 1964-1965 season.

The girls played well and won many games against tough rompetition. The team got off to a slow start losing to South Burlington and Burlington. After more ex-oerience, however, the girls began to play better and went on to win. Mary Munnett and Jackie Patterson were the most outstanding players. Creditable performances were given oy Mary Jackman, Valli Hallock, Chris Austin, Debbie Tandow, Connie Tucker, Cheryl Poquette, Lynn Jackman and Jean Perkins. Many of these girls' performances indicate potentialities yet untapped. Thus it looks as if we have a good nucleus for next year's varsity.

Linda Patterson and Monica Stagg did fine work at rebounding. Three others with an important role were Kitty Swinton and Debby Poquette playing defense and Cherie Newton, offense. Linda Hayes and Mary Munnett did an excellent job of filling in. Congratulations to Coach Rowell and the team for their great effort in the 1964-65 season.

Baseball Team Captures League Title The 1964 baseball team stormed opponents for a 6-3 win-loss record to take the Champlain Valley League title. Our future team will be handicapped by the loss of senior veterans Louis Muzzy, Peter Hatch and Peter Munnett but we can count on the capable underclassmen for more successful seasons to come.

This Spring the softball team was backed by returning seniors: Mary (Willie) Wilcox and Kitty Swinton. A new coach. Miss Rowell, proved to be a great asset to our team. With her help and with such promising underclassmen we look hopefully for many successful seasons to come. Was it really that bad?
