Vergennes Union High School 1976-77 Every attempt has been made to produce this book in compliance with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin and sex. ' � . • rdffHHigiifrTTr Volume 45 ■ There Is No Place Like Here . . . A truly gifted and dedicated teacher is respected by her students. One who is also a friend is loved. In appreciation for her guidance as Director of Dramatics, Adviser to The National Honor Society and French Club, and Senior Class Adviser, but especially for her dedication as a classroom teacher, we the Class of 1977 and the staff of the BLUE AND WHITE dedicate the 1977 BLUE AND WHITE to our friend, Ms. Maida Townsend Crocker. ' I 8 “A Year Of Decisions Mr. James Fitzpatrick, Principal Mrs. Marjorie Sweet, Secretary to the Principal Mr. Michael Burke, Assistant Principal Mrs. Anita Godard, School Secretary Education is a process, a process that requires direction, administration and organization. The community, via the school board, provides direction in the form of goals, objectives and policies. The administration provides the supervision and on-going decision-making process necessary for attaining these goals. The secretarial staff provides the services for maintaining these goals. 1976-77 was a year which saw a much more involved school board than in the past. They were especially concerned with establishing guidelines for the selection of library books. According to Principal, James Fitzpatrick, 1976-77 was a year of decisions, challenges, and growth.

Model Me, Operation Shadow, and teachers as advisers to small groups of 7th graders were three guidance programs designed to orient, familiarize and guide students towards personal and vocational goals. Guidance became an area of active involvement not only for guidance counselors working with students but also for teachers working with guidance counselors working with students. 14 Cast Involves Community Thirty-eight high school Chemistry students this year participated in developing a new Science program which is unique in the world. The Cast Project (Creative Art, Science, and Technology) which is funded through Title 4 part C of the Division of Federal Programs sought to form a new union between Art, and Science with a look toward modern technology in a previously united interdisciplinary approach to chemistry. Students worked both as a group and individually in obtaining natural material and shaping them into functional objects. Resource people were consulted at all steps. Students plan to prepare a publication which will serve as a handbook for students and teachers in Vermont to aid them in locating and working with naturally occurring materials.

Another math class worked on quilts using patterns and designs based on geometric figures. Mrs. Maurer, who worked as an aide last year, temporarily replaced Mr. John Burton.

All ninth graders had English classes during the first period, and they changed to a different mini-coarse at the end of each nine week marking period. These mini-courses were Model-Me, Grammar, Foxfire, and Literature or Oral Communication. Mrs. Deborah Burton was a welcome addition to the English Dept. , and Mr. Ed Krasnow became a fulltime teacher.

In addition to the study of grammar, vocabulary, and literature, students learned about the history and culture of the country whose language they were studying. Trips to France, Germany, and Montreal, Continental dinners, foreign language magazines, and caroling helped spark extra-curricular interest. Mrs. Ellen Norton - French 1,2, 3,4 With the help of the headphones Timmy Condon and Andy Tisbert go over French vocabulary. 24 Self-Expression Through Music And Art Mr. Chuck Mander - Senior and Junior High Band and Chorus, General Music This year the Music Department really went places, such as to the Earth Audio recording studio in Ferrisburg. They participated in several regional music festivals and increased the number of public performances given in Vergennes. They also put on dances and Dime-A-Dip suppers to raise money for new uniforms. In Mrs. Bartlett's art courses, students found or further developed many talents while working in ceramics, linoleum-block printing, sketching, poster-making, jewelry-making, and painting. They also lent a hand when other departments in the school needed artwork for posters, programs, and prints. Special Services Meet Special Services for students this year were both specialized and diversified. Title I funds, coordinated by Mrs. Gail Lynk, provided for reading and photography programs, as well as Operation Advance, a new program under the direction of Mr. Larry Shepard, emphasizing survival skills. One of the major concerns of the reading specialists, Ms. Mary Ellen Sessa and Mrs. Anne Sullivan, was designing new reading programs which would incorporate the teaching of basic reading skills into all areas of the curriculum. Selected junior high students continued their education in the self-contained classroom with Mrs. Thelma Oxholm. Their activities included work with U.S.S.R. (Uninterrupted Sustained Silent Reading), a new reading concept being used in schools throughout Vermont. The Home Economics Department, Mrs. Nancy Em-berly, offered specialized courses on family living and outdoor survival. One of their most practical projects was making down parkas and vests.

Several of Mr. Boyce's Vocational Agriculture students flew to Kanas City to receive an award that they had won last year in a nationwide Agricultural Mechanics competition. Mr. Lynk's Industrial Arts classes worked on a wide assortment of projects, including making hunting bows, handcrafting furniture, restoring a 19th century horse-drawn sleigh, and studying automotive diagnosis tune-up. The Graphic Art classes, in addition to working on numerous independent study projects, assisted many other departments of the school, silk-screening CAST Project t-shirts, aiding in the production of the Human-tities class Christmas card and providing tickets and posters for numerous school functions.

One was for students who wanted a quiet atmosphere and the other was called The Conversation Room. Mrs. Alio, along with fellow teachers, took charge of the study halls. Beth Phillips added many new and fun things to the library. New books were ordered and games of Calendar Clue and Photo captions were available to play. A stereo was also added.

New curtains and hanging plants have helped create a more home-like atmosphere in the cafeteria. 32 The People Who Make Things Happen Mrs. Sweeney Earl Fuller Dave Barrows The VUHS bus drivers are always on the go, making things happen. They are a competent and reliable crew. They have to get out in any kind of weather to pick up students.

There is a time, we know not when, A point we know not where, That marks the destiny of men, For glory or despair.

This new image was a result of the avid participation in such things as fund-raising suppers for the Prom Committee, a trip to Montreal in November, and one to France in April. These activities helped to give the class a broader outlook on new places and situations. We learned this year that all Juniors are unique and that when the class is looked upon as a whole, the individuality still exists.

With minimal experience and maximal frustration, the staff of the 1977 BLUE AND WHITE spent many long hours on the production of this yearbook. This was the first year that all photography was done by VUHS students. This 'first demanded a great deal of organization and cooperation from administration, teachers, and students. Things do not always work out as planned. Unable to meet all deadlines, we were advised to plan on a fall delivery. Hence, as we go to press, yearbooks are scheduled to arrive at the end of August. With the guidance of Mis. Mary Ann Campbell and the special assistance of Mrs. Cheryl Thuiber, we are proud of having produced the 1977 BLUE AND WHITE.

This year V. U. H. S. has been fortunate to receive an AFS student from Australia. She has enjoyed her stay in Vergennes but will be looking forward to returning in June. To raise money AFS has sold cocoa and donuts in the mornings. They have also held various Dime-a-Dips throughout the year. At the end of January nine students from V.U.H.S went to Connecticut, and students from Connecticut came here and stayed at various homes. Students from Beverely, Mass, came to V.U.H. S., and our AFS students visited there. AFS with the guidance of Mr. Ward and Ms. Sessa has had a successful year and hopes to travel further next year. 114 Linley Powers our Australian AFS exchange student.
