Vergennes Union High School - Blue and White Yearbook (Vergennes, VT)

Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1985 volume:

I I t x VERGENNES UNION HIGH SCHOOL VERGENNES, VERMONT 1985 BLUE AND WHITE is truly unfortunate that this teacher cannot be a part of every senior's experience here at V.U.H.S. hew teachers are as interest ed in the future success of their students as this lady who is always willing to give her own time to help students or give advice to those in need. Her sense of humor often helps students put their problems in proper per spective. Her ability to speak in any situation and to speak up in defense of her views sets a fine example lor students to follow. Beside her usual teaching duties, she advises the National Honor Society and the senior class, and she coordinates Basic Competencies and the Gifted and Talented program. She plays the organ and presents a humorous class history at graduation. This year she served as Student Supervisor, maintaining order in our school until a new assistant principal was hired. No wonder she was chosen as one of Vermont '� Outstanding Teachers honored at U. V. M. last fall. It is with pride and pleasure, and is very fit ting, that the 1985Blue and While is dedicated to Mrs. Ann Sullivan on her twenty-fifth anniversary of graduating from V.U.H.S. Thirty-one occupations, nine branches of the military and thirteen areas of study at the Vocational Center greeted the student in the V.U.H.S. gym on Nov. 27 as participants of the biennial Career Fair. This occasion provides each class with the opportunity to visit the Career Fair at least twice before graduating: once in Junior High to whet students’ appetites, and again in High school to begin serious career planning. A Great deal of enthusiasm has been displayed by both students and business personnel regarding the Career Fair organized by guidance counselor Ray Davison. ■iWTrff'Wrf Three Dog Ntght hip Jimi HeryJnx Survivor f '•« Oyster ■ ■ 1 zy Osbourn Motorhnd RM J SI sons B jrn«y Judiss Print Cr, -Bozo D� t Lsppsrd l| rnStoogn Iron Mjnn«n r ' NOW YOU'RE TALKIN' 0M 1| xJfAt VHSl Presiden fiRegggr lEVERLYJHILLS ■HTgneri DrjnKing i e g PSIDON, Lebanon — Israeli trooi Feel Pretty Halloween brings out hidden emotions in us.

HARRINGTON Co-Editors-in-Chief KATHLEEN A. KIRBY Ten or twenty years from now will you remember what anyone looked like in seventh grade, or who, in the class of 1985, dressed up as a mummy on Freshman Day? Where do you look to find the answers? The answer is your yearbook, which is a scrapbook of memories; memories that might otherwise have been forgotten. Every year the Yearbook Staff has to come up with some new ideas to make the book different than the year before. This year there was a conflict between the staff and the student body with some of the changes that were madei the major one being the change in color. After many hours of hard work put in by the staff and the extra hard work put in by the editors, we proudly present the 1984-85 Blue and White to you, the students, faculty, and administration. Many thanks to you in allowing us to photograph you at those memorable moments. We hope that these pages of the 1984-85 Blue and White will always be a part of your memories spent here at VUHS. May we never forget the devoted administration who have always tried to make each of our lives broader and more complete. Michelle Harringtion 8 Kathleen Kirby Co-Editors Blue 8 White 1984-85 M.

Merle Crown, a past principal of VUHS agreed to assume this role, and school opened smoothly in this position through October. By January. Miss Gail Throenle was hired to fill the position. In the iterim. Mrs. Ann Sullivan put aside part of her teaching duties to act as Student Supervisor to maintain order. Through all of this. Principal Charles Usher, whose resignation late in August was rejected by the community and the school board, worked overtime to keep the school going.” After twenty years of service to VUHS. Mr. Usher reiterated his resignation this spring and plans to leave at the end of the school year. He will be greatly missed. Merle Crown £ M, GUIDANCE E. Bartlett - Art H. Boyce • Vo. Ag. M.

Jon Yarnall Upon entering room 2-6 history comes aliveI You realize that something special must happen in that room. The walls and doors are covered with reproductions of works of art, flags and other creativity, artisticly painted by students both past and present. The room itself is filled with models and sculpture, all replicas of the past, created by students as projects for his-toty classes. Jon Yarnall. chairman of the history department, is responsible for promoting such interest in history that his students want to become a part of the living history of that room. Chosen as DAR History Teacher of the Year last spring, Mr. Yarnall displays a genuine concern for the cultural exposure of his students.

Mrs. Evelyn Burke When you look back on your junior high and high school years there are some teachers you will remember with fondness and respect. One of these will surely be Mrs. Evelyn Burke. As a math teacher, she treats each student fairly and demands excellence in her classroom. As chairman of the math department she coordinates the math offerings of the school. But we all know these things. Wouldn’t you rather find out what Mrs. Burke really enjoys? Dancing, hot weather and trips to Honda, ceramics and cooking creamed cucumbers are among her favorites. R.

An excellent pianist, she has accompanied the chorus as it practices each day and has also played in the pit ensemble at the musicals, presented for the past ten years. This year an unfortunate accident burned her hand and prevented her doing what she enjoys most. But it didn't stop her for long. She didn't miss a chance to play the bass keyboard in Bye, Bye, Birdie.

MUSIC” What a year our Department has hadlll In September our annual Must cal got off to a rocky start, but the show went on - 3 performancesI and a fabulous success Jazz band spent another year yawning through 7:00 a.m. rehearsals every Wednesday. We played gigs at Job Corps as well as our normal concerts. Our new band. The Wind Ensemble did great this year. Our chorus loves our great new director. Mrs. Williams. We had several who qualified to audition for All-New England and All-State Eestivals. They all scored very well and we were pleased with the results especially when David Trueman made it to All-New England Band on Euphonium. The Exchange Concert with Ellington. Conn, was an enormous success. We would like to think the Pep Squeaks” had a hand in the long undefeated streak of the boy's varsity basketball team. Thanks to Mrs. Willims and Miss.

Excellent choices were made when Kathy and Shelly were elected co-editorsi Kim and Joy, senior section editors,• and Susan and Jill, business editors. They have made my job, as advisor, enjoyable and easy, well almost. One of the first decisions we made, the choice of design and color for the cover, turned out to be quite controversial, to say the least. Who ever heard of the cover of the Blue and White being maroon As times passed, it was apparent that we had a hard working staff who learned that it is not an easy job putting a 144 page book together in six short months. But we did itI With the frazzled nerves of this advisor answering the numerous questions at meetings, with the search for the missing pictures of the music department, the prodding of seniors for portraits, quotes, baby pictures, etc., with lots of help and encouragement from Mark Saks, and with the calm organization of the editors keeping the advisor in line—WE DID ITI 81 VOICES FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL Late winter brings throughts of spring to mind, and at VUHS. thoughts of drama competition. Each year, contests are held through out the state to select two one-act plays as state champions to represent Vermont at the New England Drama Festival. Vergennes presented the play, Voices from the High School by Peter Dee. After only ten days in production, we traveled to Springfield to compete with four other school and wont We had five days to polish before heading to Johnson State College to compete with seven other Vermont schools. What a trip home that was with 35 cast and crew members chanting, We're and We are the champions I What a wonderful victory parade through townI Next was a flurry of activity to replace three cast members who were unable to go to Newport, Rhode Island for the New 82 England Festival in April, and to raise the money to take everyone! Manage we did, a rewarding experience we had. and excellent critiques we received. All in all it was well worth the effort. Voices from the High School is a three act play, edited by Mrs. Prescott to a one-act play to comply with the Vermont Headmaster's rules. It is comprised of vignettes reflecting the joys and problems of growing up in America-sometimes too quickly. The scenes are honest, sometimes funny, but always speak from and to the heart. The Cast was as follows: Peter Bic knell, Charlene Billings, Megan Brook, Rusty Burt, Liz Butler, Amy Chamberlain. Dan Collette, Tracy Dike, Michelle Douglas, Mike Entrott, Martha Fisher, Todd Flint, Susan Goddette, Ken Goff. Shelly Guyette, Scott Hopkins, Maureen Jennings, Joe La- Berge, Sarah LaBerge, Chris Marshall, Pat Morrison, Lois Myers. Chris Myott, Megan Prescott, Nitesh Shah, Heather Sta-venow, Carrie Steady, Jeff Tucker, Liz Urban, Matt Versweyveld, David Visser, and Steve Werling. The Crew consisted of PaulBicknell, Sarah Ganson, Mark LeBeau. Kevin Norton, Mark Palmer, and Tammy Tucker.
