LONGHORN Class Poem Our eyes are dim, our hearts are sad For our high school days are over - With all the glorious times we've had And the friends we've shared together. The sorrow of this parting hour And ties we leave behind Are brightened by the glimpse of power And conquests we shall find. The future will our metal try - And we should meet the test, For our good teachers, day by day, Have given us their best. Now as we bid you each good-bye, We'll strive, in work and fun, To make old Waterbury High Proud of her '51. 1 VIRGINIA MILES. Class Song Twelve years we've lived in her classrooms and halls And now as we leave her our mem'ry recalls The fun we have had and good friends we have made, And we realize our efforts have been fully paid. All through our lives we'll remember these years As we think of the laughter, the hopes and the tears. We'll remember our teachers, so patient and kind. But then we'll look on to new roads that we'll find. Dreams we have had we can now make come true, For now, things we've dreamed, welre about to pursue, We'll try to accomplish and leave all well done, And we'll not give up trying till each goal is won. --NANCY FORBES LONGHORN Presidents Address It is a great honor and privilege to represent my fellow graduates, the Class of 1951. During past graduations, we have watched other classes leave with but one thought in our minds, that day when We too would be graduating from Waterbury High. However, as the day to graduate came nearer, our views changed, and now that the time is here, we are not glad but rather sorry that we will no longer be a part of the student body. During our school years, we have had patient, understanding teachers, who have guided us and brought us an important step nearer our final goal, that time when we will be taking an active part in the affairs of our com- munity and the world. We now realize how much they have done for us, and we sincerely hope that we have lived up to their expectations. We also wish to thank our parents for giving us the opportunity to enjoy a high school education. To you underclassmen, may we say that Waterbury High is a wonder- ful school. We are proud to have received our education within its doors and we know you will feel the same. Everything possible is being done by Mr. Fiske, the school directors and the citizens of our town to maintain the high standards which have been established in previous years concerning both the appearance of our school and its educational facilities. It is in- deed a privilege to attend such a place. The spirit of Waterbury High School is in your careg keep it strong. Now that we are no longer able to profit from the opportunities which have been offered us during the past twelve years, we realize that there are many of which we did not take full advantage. Try to understand that attaining a high scholastic average is as important as being a star in sports or in other activities. May we say to you, Make the most of your time in school. You will never regret it. To our class adviser, Mrs. Gough, who has guided us through our most trying year, and to our worthy principal, Mr. Rowe, we have this to say, We think that you are both grand. We appreciate all that you have done for us, and we know that the beloved tradition of Waterbury High will be carried on under your faithful guidance. As for my classmates, I hope that the companionship we have made will not be lost as years go by. We realize the accomplishments that we have achieved are results of working together so that we would make these four years ones which will be long remembered. And so it is with sad and yet happy hearts that we now leave Waterbury High. 1 RICHARD RUSSELL. LONGHORN Class History So You're a Senior So you're a senior this year! It doesn't seem possible! In recent months, many of us have heard these words from our friends. When we stop to think of our dear old school days, we, too, find ourselves of the same opiniong it doesn't seem possible! However, awakening to this world of reality, we find ourselves on the threshold of graduation. We're cer- tainly not happy to realize that we are ready to leave behind us the most memorable part of our lives, the part that we hold dearest to us. Since these twelve years have meant so much to us, we find no greater pleasure than to turn back the pages of time and give an account of ourselves. The old year of 1939 started the ball rolling for the Class of '51, The first week was, without a doubt, the most difficult for our capable teachers, Mrs. Clifton and Miss Littlefield, for, by the end of this time, the tears ceased to How and fewer handkerchiefs were necessary. Miss Littlefield finally succeeded in making Johnny Forest understand that he was not to jump up on his desk, stamp his feet in Indian fashion, and scream, I wanna go home ! In our second year, Mrs. Clement and Mrs. Marshall opened wide their doors for our invasion. We were soon informed that the erasers were to be used specifically for the purpose of erasing the blackboards, not to see how white we could get each other! We were also proud of our little band consisting of triangles, sticks, tambourines, and cymbals. Here, Martha Deal became popular for hitting her sticks on the of-beat, paying little or no attention to the conductor. Before we knew it, we were a year older and we found ourselves proudly prancing up the stairs to the third grade room. Here, under the excellent guidance of Miss Andrus, we first learned about the cave men, and, because we tried to act like them, we got our first taste of the penalty of the deep, dark cloak room. We next crossed the hall into the fourth grade room of Miss Wheeler. Long division problems became our chief terror, and classes after school came into existence. It was in this year that the big romance between Ray Flannery and Selma Izor came into the spotlight. We all remember the various gifts Ray brought to his first love, also the note he wrote concern- ing his desire for marriage, but, regretfully, he stated that his mother thought he was a little too young! In our fifth year, we came under the supervision of Miss Robertson. Though our skulls were thick, as they are now, through her tireless eforts she succeeded in the great task of teaching us the use of simple fractions. One of the most memorable events of this year was the Valentine Party held at Miss Robertson's home on Blush Hill. We enjoyed a long hike, and an unforgettable afternoon, thanks to Miss Robertson and her mother. Whether or not our former teachers informed Mrs. Rudd of our treacherous ways will never be known. However, Mrs. Rudd was well prepared for us when we made our triumphal entrance into the sixth grade. The supreme penalty of the cloak room for misbehavior was once again enforced, and due to her forgetfulness, many a student suiered the consequences of an extra two-hour session, for she did not remember them until she went after her coat and found them asleep in the corner. A new member came into our class this year, namely, David Chittickg Mary Keefe immediately fell in love with that beautiful red hair and lost no time in writing him many cute little notes of her adoration. At last came the time when We proudly marched up the stairs into the . l 4 LONGHORN seventh grade to the honored position of junior high students. Here, under the watchful eye of Mrs. Merrill, we settled down for a year of hard work. We were delighted with the privilege of attending the assemblies, and the chance to mingle with the upper classmen. Our eighth grade year was the saddest one of our school life. Under the fine tutelage of Mrs. Hall we greatly profited, and we were deeply grieved by her death in November, 1946. We suffered a great loss, and we will always hold her memory dear to our hearts. We are greatly indebted to Mrs. Durkee, Mrs. Post, Mrs. Parker, Mrs. Bates, Mr. Niles, and Mrs. Worthington, who ably led us through the remainder of the year. Finally came the long awaited time when we were enrolled as fresh- men. The first big event of our high school year was the Freshman Recep- tion. A week of hilarious activity was enjoyed by everyone, with horse collars, pantalettes, and bransacks much in evidence, climaxed by the re- ception on Friday evening. Many new students joined us this year, mak- ing a total of forty members in the class. The class officers for the year were as follows: Dick Russell, presi- dent, Bud Eastman, vice president, Virginia Miles, secretary, Ray Flan- nery, treasurer. We chose Mr. Mallett as our adviser, under whose super- vision we enjoyed many good times in our Outing Club. Representing our class on the varsity basketball squad this year were Al Adams and Bud Eastman. Because of our various activities, the freshman year soon passed, and we commenced our second year in high school. Officers for the sophomore year were Bud Eastman, president, Selma Izor, vice president, Virginia Miles, secretary, Wayne Gilman, treasurer. We again chose Mr. Mallett as our adviser, and Mrs. Gough served as our home-room teacher. We presented our first one-act play, Georgie Porgief' with the fol- lowing cast: Mary Keefe, Virginia Miles, Virginia Sweetser, Selma Izor, Marlene Neil, Lane Hooker, David Chittick and Richard Williams, coached by Mr. Mallett. On the varsity basketball squad were Al Adams, Bud Eastman and Dick Russell. ' Our promotion to the junior class bestowed on us the honor of using the front door, a privilege which we recognized with pride. The class of- ficers for the year were Dick Russell, president, Wayne Gilman, vice presi- dent, Martha Deal, secretary, Mary Keefe, treasurer. Mrs. Martin helped us as our adviser, and Mrs. Bisbee was our home-room teacher. For our one-act play, we presented Now That April's Here, directed by Mrs. Martin. The cast was as follows: Nancy Forbes, Mary Keefe, Selma Izor, Virginia Miles, David Chittick and Richard Williams. On the varsity basketball teams this year were Al Adams, Ray Flan- nery, Bud Eastman, James Lovely and Lane Hooker. Participating in prize speaking were Alyce Werner, David Chittick and Richard Williams. First prize went to Richard Williams and the sec- ond prize to David Chittick. For our first three-act play we presented Mama's Affair, under the direction of Mrs. Martin, with Mary Keefe, Virginia Miles, Nancy Forbes, Alice Adams, Justin Towne, Henry Corriveau and Richard Williams taking part. To represent the school at Girls' and Boys' State, the faculty chose Alice Adams, Nancy Forbes, Richard Russell and Raymond Flannery. In honor of the Class of 1950, we presented the Junior Prom, with an outdoor woodland scene as our theme. The sweet scent of the many pine LONGHORN boughs and the excellent music of the Ambassador Redcoats, made the eveninga huge success. After three much-enjoyed years of school life, we, a small class of twenty-seven members, were greeted by Mrs. Nicholson in her senior home room. Officers for this important year were Dick Russell, president, Wayne Gilman, vice president, Martha Deal, secretary, Mary Keefe, treas- urerg and Mrs. Gough, our adviser. For our three-act play, which was under the direction of Mrs. Gough, we presented Through the Keyhole. with Mary Keefe as lovable Grand- ma Tierney. The supporting members of the cast were Virginia Miles, Alice Adams, Nancy Forbes, Stuart Sutherland, Henry Corriveau, Justin Towne and Richard Williams. The captains chosen for the sale of magazines this year were Barbara Lemery and David Chittick. Top honors in the sale of magazines went to Henry Corriveau, who sold over two hundred dollars' worth. Wayne Gilman received a certificate of merit for sales amounting to over fifty dollars. In the autumn sale of cards held by the class, Maybeth Lowe and Gladys Bragdon were responsible for the majority of the sales, while in the spring sale, Wayne Gilman and Richard Williams came out on top. Our final attempt at dramatics was our one-act play, Utter Relaxa- tion, under the direction of Mrs. Gough. The leading role of bed-loving Wilbur went to Stuart Sutherland, with the following seniors as the sup- porting cast: Alice Adams, Martha Deal, Barbara Lemery, Henry Corri- veau and Richard Williams. Seniors on the varsity basketball teams were Alice Adams, Bud East- man, Dick Russell, Ray Flannery and Dick Grace. Al Adams was elected captain of the girls' team, with Ray Flannery and Dick Russell serving as co-captains of the boys' team. Al Adams was chosen as Good Citizenship Girl by vote of the faculty and the senior class. She is certainly well qualified and deserving of this high honor. Three members of our class left us this year to do their bit for Uncle Sam, namely, Raymond Eastman, Howard Eastman and Norman Duprey. Our best wishes are with these boys. We enjoyed a wonderful evening the night of the prize speaking con- test. The two seniors taking part were David Chittick and Henry Corri- veau. During the last week in April, we journeyed off to New York City and greatly enjoyed our three-day stay. The Juniors honored us at the Prom. It was a gala evening, and our sincere thanks go out to the Class of 1952 for this unforgettable occasion. We must now regretfully leave behind the most enjoyable part of our lives. This, our senior year, brings to a close our happy school days. We shall forever delight in its pleasant memories, and treasure the friends and wisdom we have gained. We wish to extend our deepest gratitude to our parents and faculty members for making such a pleasant school life pos- sible. Our sincerest thanks go out especially to Mrs. Gough for making our senior year a most memorable one through her untiring efforts and her energetic support, and also to Mr. Rowe, who has faithfully guided us through every school year. - RICHARD WILLIAMS. LONGHORN Class Prophecy The Follies of 1951 As we sit in our observatory on Podunk Peak, we can look into every corner of the earth, and if we strain our eyes a bit, we can even see the toadstools on the moon. Oh, look! Whatls that little place over there? Doesn't it seem familiar to you? Why, it's Waterbury! Gee, look at the high school, it's made of glass, and is it big! Didn't it used to be a little brick building? Say, that reminds me. Where do you suppose all of our old class- mates are now? Oh, school's over and here come the kids. They're heading right for downstreet. Remember the little bowling alley where we used to sit for hours after school? These youngsters seem to be drifting towards that building over there. What does that sign say? For goodness sakes, it's 'Slaphappy Stuart's Slop Shop !' And look who's standing behind the counter slinging hash, as well as his old line, Stuart Sutherland! There don't seem to be any more classmates left in Waterbury, so let's look around the world. There's a taxi racing down Broadway with a driver who must be crazy! Look closer - Why it's none other than 'Speed' Flannery! He's stopping at the 'Dickie Nightclub., He is helping Maybeth Lowe Cof all peoplel out of the cab, and what a tip she is giving him! ! Wow! I Ray is racing back down the street with a cloud of dust behind him. Just see him go! Here's Dick Russell coming out to greet Miss Lowe and rolling a car- pet out for her. Now, he's escorting her to the piano. Maybe she's going to sing! Yes, it's that all-time classic, 'I Get Tears In My Eyes When I Lie On My Back In My Bed and Cry Over You.' She's accompanied at the piano by 'One Finger' Williams. It seems he's so enthralled every time Maybeth sings he can only play with one finger - can't concentrate enough to play with more! ! The crowd is going wild! ! Herbie Lovely, sitting at one of the ring- side tables, is yelling for encores, screaming, tearing his hair, really mak- ing a rumpus. He's crazy about her singing. The cigarette girl, glamor- ous Eleanor Perry, is whistling for the bouncer to 'take care' of him. And here he comes - it's Dick 'Muscles' Grace. What a build! He's picking poor Herbie up by the hair. Oh, look at that opening way up on the wall. Wow! There goes Herbie right through it. And here he comes out the other side - right on his nose! Ouch! This place is too rough, let's leave. That rodeo down there in Texas looks inviting. Boy, see that guy riding the steer! Whoops - off he goes. He's lost his hat and look who was under it, Flighty Fuller! The animal is headed right for him, but here come the clowns to keep the steer from trampling poor Freddie. Don't you recognize those two bright, red-headed clowns? Why, they're 'Slim' Chittick and 'Happy' Towne. Now, the steerls after them, but the derrick is lowering and up they go - lifted right over the fence by the seat of their pants. Gee, this is really interesting, but some of our ambitious classmates must have left the U. S. for greener fields. Remember Alyce Werner and Rosalie Noyes? They always wanted to go into the heart of Africa to help civilize the natives. There's Africa way down there. Stretch your eye- LONGHORN sight and let's find out if they carried out their dream. Why, of course, there they are in Jitterybuggboon! ! What in the world is Alyce doing? She's teaching the natives to jitterbug - and just look at her go! Oh, there's 'Melody' Gilman and 'Strangler' Hooker. They're playing those in- struments like mad, while the poor natives are doing their very best to keep in time with the music. They sure must miss their tom-toms. Rosalie is really having fun! Who wouldn't, driving around in a car like that - especially in Africa! She's teaching the natives how to drive. That drivers' training course back at W. H. S. did her some good after all, didn't it? It's a good thing there aren't many trees down there, just the same. Oops, there goes another hut smashed to the ground, but Rosalie doesn't seem to care. She has a native wrecking crew following her to pick up the debris. Why do you suppose Alyce and the natives have stopped attempting to jitterbug, and Rosalie has stopped her destructive journey through the village? Oh, here's the reason. The missionary has arrived to conduct his daily services. It's our old friend, Jim Lovely! The natives certainly seem to love him - especially the young people. Now he's telling the young folks to come to the youth group meeting which will be held in the evening - and to please remember to bring sandwiches for refreshments! He's started the sermon, so let's leave before we fall asleep! We certainly never expected to find so many old classmates in one place. Br-r-r-r - that blizzard up there in Alaska is really something! Anybody is crazy to be out in it, but there's a blur that looks like a person. He's shouting and waving somethingg wonder what it is! The Eskimos are coming out of their igloos and seem to be buying whatever it is. Oh, the blizzard has stopped. Look, it's our speedy little friend, Supersalesman Corriveau! And he's selling electric pajamas to the Eskimos. He always could sell almost anything! What do you suppose that huge igloo at the end of the row is? There's a sign that says 'Nice hot seats inside! Let us peer into its interior. Why, it's a theater and Barb Lemery is selling tickets - that's quite a pile of fish she's got there. Guess these Eskimos don't have much cash, but you would think she could find some place to put the fish rather than to sit on them! The fioor show is just beginning - oh, goody -- an acrobat duo -- 'Queenie' Deal and 'Role 'Em Over' Adams. Boy, look at 'em go. Brother! You certainly never would have guessed those two quiet girls would end up pulling each other's hair. Bang! They're both out! Here comes Barb to drag them out. Gee, she really get's around. Oh! Oh! Looks like trouble up in the back row. Manager Gladys 'Kick 'Em Out' Bragdon is telling a couple Eskimo teensters if they want to rub noses to please find a more appropriate place. Well, let's move along. It's getting dark, and we want to find the rest of '51 before night falls. My gracious! Look at that big upheaval in the ground! ! It looks as if the whole world were one large erupting volcano. I wonder what can be happening! It's our old classmate, Kenneth Dibbell, testing out his new jet propelled airplane - UNDERGROUND! ! ! What will he think of next? What's that contraption up there on that mountain top? It looks like some big summer resort. Let's peer more closely and find out. It's a dating agency for the unfortunates and just observe who's operating it, none other than Mary Keefe and Selma Izor. I wonder why they situated , LONGHORN their agency way up on the mountain top. Look, I know what they're do- ingg they're getting in contact with men on Mars. I don't see why 'they didn't think of things like this when we were in school. It is really getting dark now. We had better take a quick glimpse of the rest of the world. Let,s go down to Arabia to see what we can find. Wow! ! Look at all the women! What is happening? It looks like a colony of women. Why, no! It's 'Al' Eastman running a harem. He has sent out a general invitation for all the girls in the Class of 1951 to join his happy groupg but we certainly shall not go! He looks so fat and lazy! I Besides, we never could compete with those dark skinned beauties. Boy! That was certainly a full day! It was a lot of fun to peek in on all of our old classmates. They all have done very well for themselves fwith the exception of a fewb. Let,s close our observatory and go back behind those big, brick walls. How frantic the guards must have been, when they learned We squeezed through the bars for the twentieth consecutive year. Probably next time we will be too buxom to slip outf' THE ZANY SIsTERs, NANCY AND VIRGINIA. LONGHORN Class Essay Ascende Etsi Saxa Sint Asperan The Class of 1951 has chosen for its motto, Ascende etsi saxa sint asperaf' fClimb though the rocks be rugged.J We feel that this expresses our desire to succeed and to accomplish the things we will try to do. To achieve our goals, our strong determination, faith and hope are needed, and all through school we have learned how best we can lead a happy life. That it is diiiicult to think about our vocations and make definite plans is true. However, now is the time to prepare ourselves for what is to come. The habits acquired now remain with us throughout life, whether or not they are to our advantage. Having been shown by our parents and our teachers and instructed by our own minds, we have learned the path to right, that is, the path to happiness. Now that We are, in a sense, entering a new part of our life, we ask ourselves if we can stand up to the duties set before us, for throughout our high school years we have prepared to adjust ourselves in our community. We realize that the road will not be easy and We cannot hope to scale the heights without enduring pain and hardships. Even worse it would be to spend our life in idle quest, always being discouraged, never succeeding. We are privileged to have obtained a sound education and to have access to all the opportunities offered to today's youth. With this valuable foun- dation, we are enabled to promote well the ideas we have acquired. James Russell Lowell once said, Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide. So it is with us, for upon this decision will rest our whole future happiness. It is not easy to make a choice for we have changed our minds over and over, hoping to select a vocation that will be most suitable to us. Our future may be a bit more uncertain than it has been for previous graduating classes since we cannot fathom what is in store for us. Know- ing that the peace of our country is threatened, we hesitate to continue our plans, however these things must be taken in our stride, and we must look forward to brighter days. Consider the point brought out in a poem writ- ten by Ella Wheeler Wilcox: It is easy enough to be pleasant When life flows by like a song, But the man worth while is one who will smile When everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is trouble, And it always comes with the years, And the smile that is worth the praises of earth Is the one that shines through the tears. So we must struggle on and up and Climb though the rocks be rug- ged. - MARY KEEFE.

LONGHORN Class Will We, the Class of 1951, having proven ourselves unable to cope with the problems of society - education in particular - do hereby scribble this screed and proclaim it to be our last will and testament. I James Lovely, do hereby leave my job of announcing M. Y. F. meet- ings to anyone with lungs powerful enough to throw his voice around the hall - windbags excluded. Henry Corriveau, leave to Maurice Bailey, my ability to get into t.he teacher's hair and double talk my way out of it. Use it well, Maurice. Gladys Bragdon, just leave - for that walk down the aisle. Richard Williams, leave my car to someone on the South End so that you can carry about ten in that little coupe and find them hanging out of the windows every time you try to get in. Dick Grace, leave my great mathematical mind to be divided among the students of W. H. S. There's enough for all. P Alyce Werner, leave my quiet, reserved manners to Rae Richardson. No offense, Rae, I just want to get rid of them. Herb Lovely, leave my Prince Charming personality to John Ed- wards. All you need now, John, is a great, white horse to ride. Selma Izor, leave gladly, but first, Has anyone got a cigarette ? Eleanor Perry, leave my red hair to Sally Spence because you haven't got much left, and, what's more, mine will make the boys sit up and take notice! Rosalie Noyes, leave my picture in the senior home-room so that future generations may be aware that there was one quiet senior girl. David Chittick, leave some of my height to David Keefe. Then the teachers won't need a microscope to make sure you're in class. Alice Adams, leave to Nancy Meaker, my job as Miss Royer's assist- ant. Now, you can carry the basketballs, time-clock, scorebook, and everything else. I'm tired! Stuart Sutherland, leave some of my excess weight to Brian Har- wood. Poor Brian's so thin. Kenny Dibbell, leave a pack of cigarettes to every boy in school be- cause I get them free at the pool room, you know. Lane Hooker, leave my banjo to some member of the Melody Wranglers. I'm off for the Wild West. Dick Russell, leave, but not very fast, because, heck, what's the hurry! I Virginia Miles, leave my flighty self to Eleanor Bigelow, but you can try to calm it down. Justin Towne, leave my corny jokes to anyone who wants them be- cause all my classmates are sick of them anyway. Barbara Lemery, leave my excess avoirdupois to Jean Horner, al- though my girlish figure can't afford to give away all. LONGHORN I Mary Keefe, leave to join that everlasting line of Keefes in the Alumni Parade. I Martha Deal, leave to Joy Bartlett, my size nine shoe. The halls aren't safe with you running around a mile a minute. Maybe these will slow you down a bit. I, Fred Fuller, leave my cowboy boots and cattle truck to my brother, Roddy. Now remember, boy, you keep your speed limit under ninety. I, Maybeth Lowe, leave the boys in my class to anyone who wants them. I wish they would stop pestering me. I, Wayne Gilman, leave, biting my fingernails as usual and wishing I had some homework to do. I Nancy Forbes, leave to Ed Winn, my great big smile and ability to chew gum without being detected. I Bud Eastman, leave my speed and accuracy on the basketball floor to Dick Campbell. Sorry, I don't have an extra comb, Dick! I, Ray Flannery, leave my ability to get by in my studies to Skip Morse so that after every marking period the coach won't have to worry about whether or not he's got to look for a new left guard. If you don't need it, Skip, pass it on to some unfortunate. y 7 I 7 Before ending this worthy charter, we would like, as a class, to leave to the gallant teachers of W. H. S., our humble thanks for their diligent work trying to improve on the thinking matter of our pulpy brains. With these morbid words, we close this illiterate piece of scribbling and leave it to be sealed forever in the files of Mr. Rowe's office. - BUD EASTMAN, - RAY FLANNERY.

They got off to a good start by winning six of the first eight games. They ended the season by winning ten and losing six, and were all alone in second place in the Green Mountain League. With three experienced men back from last year's squad, Ray Flan- nery, Bud Eastman and Dick Russell, Coach Doran was able to build up a strong team. The varsity included Richard Russell and Raymond Flan- nery as co-captains, Albert Eastman, Leslie Morse, Harry O'Brien, Richard Campbell, Richard Grace, Spencer Morse, Robert Russell, Paul Izor, Roger Gilman and Brian Atherton. LONGHORN Roger Merchant and'Maurice Bailey were assistant managers.

Our first game at the Burlington tournament was with Newport High School, whom we defeated by a good sized margin. In the semi-finals we won over a strong Peoples Academy club by one point. At the Class B finals in Barre, we lost to the defending champions, West Rutland High School. Much credit for the two trophies, CNorthern Tournament and Runner Upj, which we acquired, should go to Coach Doran, who worked long and diligently with the boys. We would like to congratulate next year's captain, Harry O'Brien, and wish him and the team the best of luck. - KENNETH DIBBELL, Manager. LONGHORN Girls' Basketball Team Front Row: Second Row: Nancy Meaker, '54 Miss Royer - Coach Paulita lzor, '53 Gloria Holmes, '54 Alice Adams, '51 - Captain Marie Stanley, '54 Ann Millington, '52 Carolee Guptil, '53 May Holmes, '53 Shirley Jewett, '54 Louise Farmer, '52 Nancy Forbes, '51 - Manager LONGHORN Girls' Basketball The girls' basketball season came to a close with two wins out of eleven games. These two victories were over Bradford. Although the girls did not have a very successful season, the outlook for the next couple of seasons seems to be encouraging. Forwards, Nancy Meaker and Gwendolyn Miller, along with guards, Carolee Guptil and May Holmes, have steadily improved throughout the season and should do much towards strengthening next year's team. Many members of the team will have two or three years of playing ahead of them. The forward line this year wasn't too strong due to the fact that the girls lacked the necessary experience. High scorer for the season was Nancy Meaker with 73 points. It is interesting to note that Gwen Miller, who played forward in only three and a half games, scored 33 points for an average of 9.4 points per game. The guard section showed marked improvement, especially in develop- ing an eiective zone defense. Our most sincere thanks go to Miss Royer for the fine coaching. She has worked hard all year with us and we appreciate the hard work she has put into it. I also wish the best of luck for next year's squad, which will have Ann Millington as captain. - ALICE ADAMS, Captain. LGNGHORN Music Department In the past year, the music department has shown a great deal of suc- cess under the able direction of Mr. Boodakian. The musical groups for the year have been the mixed glee club, the special mixed glee, the girls' glee, the boys' glee, and the girls' sextet. The officers chosen to head the mixed glee club were Richard Williams, president, Sally Spence, vice president, Ann Millington, secretary. The mixed glee club became the General Chorus after mid-years. No credit t.oward graduation was given for participation in this club. The members of the sextet were Selma Izor, Virginia Miles, Sally Spence, Ann Millington, Ramona Belanger and Patricia Herbert. For all these groups, Ann Millington has ably served as accompanist. The school band, which was started in January, has shown a great deal of promise under the supervision of Mr. Boodakian and Mr. Messier. This year, Waterbury has added a new music project to its many activities. Along with the spring concert, Christmas program and All- State festival, the choral groups joined together with the surrounding towns and gave a joint concert which was called the Winooski Valley Festival. This new activity will give to many boys and girls the Festival ex- perience which they may not be able to get at Burlington because so few are eligible to attend All-State. It is hoped that the extra time and effort expended on this new endeavor will be repaid by the better under- standing and greater appreciation of music by the participating boys and girls. THE NEW BAND The band at a month old had two numbers almost memorized and ex- pected to play publicly by May. The greatest job was to get the boys and girls marching and playing at the same time. Some people think that as soon as Yankee Doodle has been mastered on a band instrument, that person is ready for the marching band. On the contrary, after a person has been studying privately for at least six months, he may be able to sit in with the band. It then takes about six months to a year to be able to play well together. Then you must spend many months practicing march- ing in order to master the coordination of the feet and music. The whole operation takes the average high school student about two years. We are, however, not dealing with high school but mainly elementary and junior high students. Therefore, it takes longer to get organized. However, this group has been coming along unusually fast and much is expected from them. We hope that by 1952 we will be able to field a band, majorettes, and the whole kaboozle that goes with it. 1 MR. CHARLES BOODAKIAN.
