GRADUATION A cap, a gown A book thrown down Graduation is upon me. A speech to learn, All chores I spurn, What slaves we seniors be! There’s too much work, But who can shirk Until the last assembly? The night of June 8, We celebrate, A vision we can see. A future bright, Full of joy and light, All to eternity. ANN DEMERITT, ’51 ---WRHS----- THE FRESHMEN The Freshman class is composed of ten — Four fine women and six strong men. — Eleven —

Many of the students play in McLure’s Student Band. Mr. George McLure comes to school once a week to give lessons. The members of the Glee Club sang in the combined League Chorus at Peacham this year. The numbers were those that will be used at the Vermont Music Festival. A tew of our students also played in the all-league orchestra at Peacham. 1 his was the first attempt at an orchestra but we hope it can be continued. The School Safety Patrol was organized early in the fall of 1950 in the Junior High School by Mr. Cornthwaite. The following offi- cers were elected: Lee Farwell, captain; Yvonne Grenier, lieutenant. Larry Elliot made the record for attendance during the year. The patrol was handled quite successfully, so it will probably be continued in years to come. The State of Vermont considers School Safety Patrol as an important part of school life, and it held a field day on May 19 in Essex Junction for the members. Our school was represented by several students. BARBARA BAILEY, '51 WRHS— SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL LEE FARWELL, Captain — Ten —

He’ll tell you how he caught that ten-foot pike. A pleasant member is Ida Mae. You’ll see her with the Hudson’s everyday. A hot-tempered lad — that is Dick, When he gets mad, he likes to kick. Another female member is Pat, Like all the girls, she’s scared of a rat. Eleanor Simmons comes last but not least. She’ll probably marry a man from the East.

On May 1st with his friend He was out by sunrise. They love to go to the singing brook With its wild and rushing flow. Into the current goes the hook With one tremendous blow.
