CARL SANDBURG 3 We, the class of 1966, wish to dedicate our yearbook to the memory of our classmate, David Chase, who was killed in an automobile accident in June 1965. Although he was in our class for only one year, his memory will linger in our minds and in our hearts. t ADMINISTRATION 5 embers of the Graduating Class of 1966: Id your invitation, 4it is my pleasure to present a few mments for yoOf yearbook. Although these thoughts ere expressed some time ago, I feel they are as approbate today as ever—perhaps more so. Consider the oyster—a lesson in conduct in its behavior, fter the embryo oyster emerges from the old oyster, it is seven days of freedom. Nevertheless, it must think of e future. At the end of the seven days, it must be at-ched to a hard surface. There it grows. Youth is a free time, but it must think of maturity. At ie end of youth destruction comes to him who has not tached himself to a hard, firm surface of wisdom. The ster does not consider a soft surface—that would mean ;ath. Too many young people want to attach themselves Superintendent's Message t resistance, old oyster soft places in life. This is the way of f Oyster farmers throw back into the water lells after they have been sunned and ie old shells make the very best anchors for the y asters. Youth, too, will prosper if it will fasten to the old id seasoned ideals and principles, those which have en exposed to sun and storm, toughened and hardened, •oven to be of real worth. Times change but principles idure. To each of you, sincere congratulations as you graduate om high school and hearty best wishes fof many happy ;ars ahead. ■ • • A. Robert Twiss Superintendent of Sch Principal's Message To the Class of 1966: It is my privilege and pie tions and best wishes to you. I hope that your high sch and enjoyable ones, and that fullest advantage the knowlec isure to extend congratula- ol days have been fruitful ach of you will use to the you have acquired these past four years to make your life in the future more ficial to all mankind. Again, my congratulations you in your future endeavors. y God bless each of Merle W. Crown Principal Union High School Board 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. Secretary to the Superintendent MRS. THURBER Secretary to the Principal MRS.

Librarians 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. Nine 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. Seated: Hallock, Rheaume, C. Tatro, M.

The junior play, presented in the spring, brought to a close another successful year for the club. Troupe 2374 of the National Thespian Society began the year with few members but after the production of The Spiral Staircase, a large number of new members were installed.

Cross Country An inexperienced team finished a difficult season with a record of 4-10. Without last year's top runners, the squad lacked the experience necessary for a winning team. When the score was tallied, however, in the regional meet our runners placed in the fifth place. This was high enough to qualify for the State meet in November. Against very fast competition we placed eleventh in the State meet. All but senior runners, Gerald Pierce and Leo Moulton, will return to next season's squad. Opposition—speed demons without motorcycles! Front Row: Myers, Pierce, Moulton, Poquette, Tucker, Rivers, Moorby, Case, Coach Crown. Ball, Provencher. Second Row: C. O'Brien, Forgues, Ryan, Ringer, Thiess, P. O'Brien, 62 Soccer Fall sunshine, blue and white uniforms, rugged players, lively competition and spirited spectators are the components of a soccer season. The V.U.H.S. soccer squad provided all of these for the enthusiastic supporters who twice weekly lined the playing field. Four wins, seven losses and one tie showed in the scorebook. The enthusiasm and the sportsmanship of the team are not and cannot be reflected in these statistics. A great contribution to the game of soccer?? Offense as well as defense. First Row: Jackman, Ryan, Quesnel, Briggs, Howland, Asprey, Hatch, Coach Culver.Second Row: Manager Marsh, Tucker, Dubois, Bradley, T. Moore, M. Angier, Mayville, Cote, Manager Coffey. Third Row: Bessette, J. Moore, Adams, J. Angier, Ball, Murray, Daniels, Brooks. 63 The entire team was well rounded. This made a big difference in some games as Coach Culver could always substitute a man from the bench who could do as well as the man in the game. Seniors who contributed heavily to the good season are Terry Moore, Moose Murray and Winston Ball. A nucleus of experienced underclassmen promises another good season next year. On November 1, many boys reported for the first basketball practice. These boys developed into the best squad that Ver-gennes has had for a few years. The team qualified for a play-off in the semi-finals on February 22, only to bow to West Rutland in a 56-71 game. The new Defensive Trophy went to Howard Smith for his fine efforts. The Shooting Trophy was awarded to Sheldon Briggs. 64 Kneeling: Manager Estey, Coach Culver, Manager Tucker Standing: Lebeau, Moorby, Moore, Briggs, Smith, Murray, Ball, Howland, Marchand, Ryan 65 Front Row: Bradley, Spencer, Ryan, Poquette, O'Brien, Mgr.

Junior Varsity Teams Develop The Junior Varsity Team finished the season with an undefeated record of 17-0. The victories which brought the greatest joy to the squad were the two wins over Marion High, the school which was responsible for two of the JV's three losses last year. Throughout the season good rebounding and a balanced scoring attack were responsible for the fine record. Jon Moore, Pat Hatch, Gene Jewell and Here Bradley provided the rebound power. David Quesnel and Gary Poquette provided the outside shooting ability. Determined work and effort on the part of all the squad members made this record possible. Our congratulations to Coach Matt and his team for their perfect 1965-1966 season. 66 Kneeling: Maloney, Munnett, Yandow, L. Jackman, J. Jackman; Standing: Ryan, Bliek, C. Jackman, Quinn, Coach Rowell, Fauser, Rose, McNulla, Briggs Boy and Girl Basketball Players The girl's record is not an accurate appraisal of their determination and their skill. Our team faced many stronger teams. Hard work and determination were not lacking but this young team lacked the experience needed to win. With this year's experience, we expect a fine showing from these freshmen and sophomores next year. 67 Varsity Basketball An experienced team rounded out a fine season in varsity basketball. Losing only to Burlington, Waterbury, Milton and B.F.A. their final overall record was fifteen wins and four losses. This squad and Coach Rowell will not be soon forgotten. CO-CAPTAINS Hallock and Patterson Kneeling: Munnett, Patterson, Hallock, Stagg, Perkins Standing: Hays, Tucker, Norton, J. Patterson, Lawrence, Allen, Coach Rowell 68 Graduation will mark the end of their basketball career for six experienced seniors: Jane Allen, Linda Hayes, Linda Patterson, Valli Hallock, Jean Perkins, and Monica Stagg. The underclassmen will have the stimulus of this year's record as they go on to the playing floor next year. 69 Row I: Poquette, Howland, Ryan, Lebeau, Hatch, Coach Matt; Row 2: Manager Estey, Bradley, Murray, J.

It looked like a good team that would work hard for a very successful season. Coached by Mr. Gerald Brow, the team suffered only one loss during the regular season. Unfortunately the Commodores lost to Bradford High in the State semi-finals. 70 Front Row: Hayes, Munnett, Allen, Patterson, Tucker, Hallock, Perkins, Coach Rowell—Row 2: K.

Their balanced, powerful squad proved itself on the playing field. The school is proud of Coach Rowell and her winning team. COACH ROWELL 71 mor Marcia Sandi Cheerleaders Martha Mrs. Latuch Advisor The Student Council Point System was devised as a means of giving special recognition to students who have participated in school activities. In order to receive a Student Council letter, boys must accumulate 75 points. Girls must accumulate 65 points. The Sophomore Soccer Team won the championship of the intramural soccer games. A Golf Club, formed this year, was added to other extracurricular activities. 74 The winners of the school foul-shooting contest this year are Ron Hay of the Junior High and Bob Beach of the Senior High. The Junior High basketball team won 12 out of 13 season games. The Junior High team participated in a local tournament held March 4 and 5. The Junior High Basketball Team displays it's skill in a game against Essex Junction. 75 77 CLASSES Juniors First Row: Bordeaux, Benway, Audette, Barrows. Back Row: Briggs, Angier, Ball, Mack.
