Wells River High School - Chatterbox Yearbook (Wells River, VT)

Text from Pages 1 - 90 of the 1955 volume:

We, the class of 1955� dedicate our yearbook to the late Mr. J. Stewart Garvin. We remember him visiting our school, as superin- tendent; a person always kind, friendly and interested in our major problems and minor successes. We remember his ready pleasant smile and cheerfully disposed out- look. By his unassuming presence, we felt his influ- ence and knew the good he wrought. His memory will al- ways be an inspiration to us, and will challenge us to make our best a little better. It is with deepest respect and affection that we make this dedication.

As you move along the road of life, apply your knowledge fairly and rationally so that each new experience may be a just one. There are two factors which you should look upon as vital to your personal, social and economic growth. The first is integrity in all phases; the second is values. Observe integrity and values shall be forthcoming. Success is only one step of life’s ladder. The end is another beginning. It is the hope of your school that its faculty in its humble way has given you those experiences which you may cultivate into guide posts as you progress.

I SPEAK FOR DEMOCRACY No form of government can ever survive long if it doesn’t maintain a restraining influence , suffi- ciently strong and respected to protect individuals in their relations with one another and to protect the whole society from outside interference. The govern- ment must define limits of personal liberty and set bounds within which individuals may enjoy it, without infringing on the rights of others. The form of gov- ernment, which has been the most successful in achiev- ing near-perfection of these fundamental requirements is a democracy, and more specifically, the democracy of the United States of America. A democracy is government in which supreme power is retained by the people and exercised through a sys- tem of representation. I think that, without a doubt, the strength, the efficiency and the endurance of our democratic America is due largely to the colonists, who emigrated to our continent and fought hardships and in- justices throughout their lives, so that freedom might be theirs. I speak for democracy! In what other country could I have had so rich a heritage, such opportunities and such anticipation for the future? The answer is very evident in my mind—no where. Through the years no one people, race, or sect has held sway over my country or government. The stage we have reached now is to the credit or discredit of no one governing body, that has been too long in power. Every nationality, with its own particular customs, habits, ideas and ways of life, has been melted into the people from which the American had evolved. And, because I am an American, I live under common conditions with, and obey the same basic laws as any other American. Yet my individual background gives me differences of customs, habits and preference. I choose this democratic way of life because I can learn about life for myself. I can follow the ex- amples of the sage and experienced, or I can go out and make my own path and learn through my mistakes. I can choose which political party I shall belong to; yet I can vote for a man from an opposing party if I feel he is the better choice. This I can do freely and secret- ly, just as I can exercise my other freedoms which have been provided for in the constitution. Can the Fascist or Communist? In our free land I can worship as my faith dictates and when and where. I can uphold my be- liefs and meet little or no conflict. All through life I meet with competition; in my town, school and in lat- er life, business. I can follow whatever lifework I am able. To me is left the finding of my own happiness and satisfaction in life. In ray own way, as time goes on, I can establish a sense of values and opinions. The unabounding privileges, some of which I have set down above, are the essence of our democracy. In what other country is there such a system of free enterprise, as in our United States? In what country is there a more creative, progressive people? To ray knowledge, there is not a country in the world of today under a governmental procedure, democracy exclud- ed, which has developed and thrived as our America. Though I believe and feel assured of this, I may judge, evaluate and compare other countries to mine; not dis- paragingly, but with a feeling of pride in the American way of life. Therefore I shall uphold it, express my appreciation of it, and do my part to make the heritage of my grandchildren as great. Outwardly I pledge alle- gience to my land and am extremely glad I am under her governmental vestige. Deep in ray heart, similar thoughts to those in the song by Irving Berlin express themselves: God bless America Land that I love, Stand beside her and quide her Through the night, by'the light from above.

This year the Hilldale League music festival was held at St. Johnsbury Trade. Each school sang two in- dividual selections; then, all participated in the big combined chorus under the direction of Mr. Paul Zeller. During the course of the year the Glee Club sang at the Christmas program and also took part in the Commencement Exercise. Connie Egner, Ida Wilson and Yvonne Grenier were chosen to represent the high school at the Vermont Mu- sic Festival at Burlington as members of the All-State Chorus. Ann Sherwin played in the All-State Band. This year the Glee Club felt the loss of male voices, but since the beginning of the year it has in- creased in size. The Glee Club wishes to express their appreciation to Mrs. Rowe for the time and quidance she has given to make the music a success. Senior date Jlistoi V Here we are just starting out in the first grade with Miss Darling. We are a funny looking group in various shapes and sizes, but determined to learn. In the first grade the future class of 1955 consisted of four boys and three girls; Dudley Bickford, Douglas Hatch, Larry Lamarre, David Riggie, Gertrude Bijolle, Lee Farwell, and Ida Wilson. We struggled through the elements of reading, ’riting, and ’rithmatic, and went along into the second grade. We lost Douglas Hatch and Gertrude Bijolle, but gained two new classmates, Francese Chamberlain and Margaret Mays. In the third grade we really began to enlarge. We still had the se- cond grade class plus Frank Bailey, Rosemary Basch, Eva Nelson, and Lorayne Simmons. ’We really felt grown up when we finally made it into Mrs. Stanley’s room. There we spent three more years furthering our education. When we entered the fifth grade we discovered that we had lost David Higgie and Eva Nelson, but we gained Reginald Corliss, Ruth Leonard, Patty Roben, and ivonne Grenier. In the sixth grade we discovered that we had lost Frank Bailey, who had moved to Bradford; Reginald Corliss, Chamberlain m°Ved t0 Saint Johnsbui y� and Francese Then came one of the most exciting days in our life. The day when we finally climbed up those gold plated stairs into the Jr. High Room. In the seventh grade we had two additions to our happy family, George, Ranno and Beverly Mayhew. In the eighth grade we were disappointed to lose Ruth Leonard, but we gained Gordon Boomhower and Harold Gravlin. After eight long years of primary, secondary, and Jr. High school, we became mighty freshmen. Our class consisted of 17 members and was the largest in the school. Donna Andreoletti, Connie Egner, and Bonnie Grapes come down from South Ryegate, and Robert Sargent from Ryegate Corner. From Bible Hill, came Betty Lou Bickford and Jeanette and Everest Flint. In 1953 we became sophomores and took our turn at initiating the new freshmen. We lost Betty Lou Bickford and Lee Farwell in our sophomore year, but gained Dora Dargie from East Ryegate. However, before the year was fin- ished, Dora was transferred to Mclndoes Academy. Throughout our junior and s'enior years we have stayed a solid class of 14 and still the largest in the high school. We look back on our history now and remem- ber all our old classmates and all the fun we have had, but we look with both anticipation and reluctance upon our graduation day from Wells River High School. Class Prophecy It was March 10, 1974� when I received a notice that the class of 55 was going to meet in the Wells River School on the 25th. The 25th came and at ten o’clock I arrived at the school, which is a new ultra modern building, just out- side the heart of the city. The first thing I did was to go to the office of the principal where I was greet- ed by a woman. I recognized her as being Connie Egner, from the graduating class of 1955. She said she was busy, but I could look through the building myself I left the office and walked down the long corridor till I came upon a door marked Agriculture.” I de- cided to go in and have a look around. When I entered the room someone was giving a lecture on progress so I sat down to listen. The speaker was talking about the economy of atomic power tractors which was a very in- teresting subject. I asked a student who the speaker was and he said it was Mr. Sargent, a prosperous farm- er in the area. I knew at once that it was Bob Sargent another member of the class of ’55 I talked to Bob for a few minutes and then contin- ued on my way down the corridor. I was looking out one of the new plate glass windows, when I noticed a huge Cadillac convertible drive up out front, chauffeur and all. The chauffeur jumped out and on his back was a sign which read, Simmons Modeling Agency. He opened the back door and out stepped our model, Lorayne Simmons from the class of ’55. I stood in front of the window thinking about my high school days and the classmates I had met so far, when I happened to notice a huge building across the street. On the front of the building was a sign which read, Gravlin Lines, Inc. I went across the road and entered the office. The foreman told me that Mr. Gravlin was out in the warehouse. On my way to the warehouse I had a chat with another member of the class of ’55� Donna Andreoletti. Donna explained that she was also a teacher at the new Wells River School and had taken Miss Legare’s place teaching drivers training to fifty girls. I finally reached the warehouse where I found Harold talking to one of his big shippers who wanted to knovf if his shipment of stuffed animals was in. The shipper was none other than Larry Lamarre. A few years ago Larry had made the headlines when he discovered a valuble uranium deposit while digging a cellar hole. He sold the land to the government and became a mil- lionaire in the process. The shipping business was just a hobby of Larry's. The clock was striking twelve when I arrived back at the school so I went into the school’s cafeteria . There I was served an excellent lunch prepared by three cooks while the head chef looked on. After lunch I in- troduced myself to the chef, Norman Cook, and the three cooks; Mrs. Spear, Mrs. Gibson, and Miss Legare. When I arrived back in the main wing of the build- ing, I met a man and woman walking down the corridor. The man was dressed in an Air Force uniform and I rec- ognized him at once as Everest Flint. I had a fine talk with Everest and he told me he held the world’s re- cord speed for atomic planes. With Everest was his sister Jeanette. I was surprised to learn that Jeanette was the new head of the Highway Department and was supervising the building of a new four lane highway on Bible Hill. Later I visited the music class where I met two more of my old classmates; Patty Roben, a concert pian- ist, and Rosemary Basch, the voice instructor. Both of them seemed to like their jobs, but they complained that the pay was too low, only $7,000 a year. They told me they had a surprise for me so I followed them into the Home Economics Department. There I found Ida Wilson teaching a large class of boys and girls. It seemed that ever since Ida began to teach, even the boys wanted to take Home Ec. When the class of 1955 gathered in the large as- sembly hall, I learned that the school board was going to be on hand to greet us. The school board marched in and as they took their places on the platform, I thought I saw two familiar faces among them. Sure e- nough, they were Beverly Mayhew ,.nd Yvonne Grenier. At the end of the day I caught a late plane and was soon on my way back to my cattle ranch in Montana. I really felt I had accomplished something by seeing all the class of '55 Gordon Boomhower —23— Senior C iaSd We, the graduating class of nineteen hundred and fifty five, residents of Ryegate and Wells River, state of Vermont, and county of Orange, being of reasonably sound mind and body, do hereby declare this our last will and testament We will Mrs. Gibson 14 empty seats in her college and non-college English classes. We hope that next year you will find 14 lovers of poetry taking our places. We will Sam Stanley an elevator. Now Sam, we won’t have to listen to you complain about carrying the new vacuum cleaner up all those flights of stairs. We will Mr. Griffith an expert on basketball. Now you can have someone to talk to during your frequent visits to the office. We will Mrs. Spear the oncoming seniors. We hope they will be as cooperative as the 14 who are leaving this year. We will Miss Legare 6 junior girls. Right now they1re thinking about marriage, but after one year of home- making we’re sure they’ll be satisfied to live an old maid’s life. We will Mr. Cook, Wells River High School. It might not seem like much to some people, but its been alot to us and we won't forget it. We will Mrs. Rowe a brand new streamlined glee club. Now maybe you’ll really have something to work with. As in the past years we will to the juniors the noto- rious tower room. Keep up its good reputation, Kids! I, Harold Gravlin, will to anyone who wants it, my ability to find ways of getting out of school. Just volunteer to do the dirty work. It’s much more relax- ing than suffering through a hard class. I, Larry Lamarre, will to Jimmy Come my ability to drive all the teachers mad. It’s easy, Jim! Take it from a guy with plenty of experience. I, Bob Sargent, will to Walter Bone my heavy shoes with the metal taps. I know you are the quiet type, Walter, but just walk around study hall in my shoes and everyone will know you are there. I, Gordon Boorahower, will to Freddie Kaiser my amazing speed on the basketball court. Keep on eating your Cherrios, Freddie, and no one will dare to get in your way either. I, Everest Flint, will to the freshmen boys my ability to walk into Mrs. Gibson1s English classes and escape with nothing less than a black eye. I, Patty Roben, will to Marilyn Jock a seat next to David in the tower room. It would be a pity to sep- arate you two now. I, Rosemary Basch, will to Betty Cushing my ability to get along with people and not to argue. Try it, Betty, and I’m sure you’ll find that it’s much more fun to lead a mild life as I do! I, Jeanette Flint, will to the W.R.H.S. girls my abil- ity to gossip. You would be surprised at the amazing facts you can learn through the grapevine, girls. I, Lorayne Simmons will to Marilyn Libby my ability to argue. Practice it in Miss Legare� s classes, Lib, so she’ll have something to remember me by. I, Beverly Mayhew, will to the undergraduate girls my ability to get along with one man. Variety may be the spice of life, girls, but all good things must come to an end. I, Donna Andreoletti, will to the Wells River boys my driver’s license and my Buick. Now you can take those trips to Lisbon and John’s Sweet Shoppe in St. Johns- bury more freruently instead of just talking about it. I, Ida Wilson, will to Donna Cusano my fighting it. Now, Donna, maybe you can come out on top argument with Marilyn. spir- in an Yvonne Grenier, will to Margaret Clotier my amazing ability to talk at great speeds. Use it when you ’re being timed in an English speech, Margaret, and you’ll be sure to finish in half the time. I, Connie Egner, will to the freshmen of South Ryegate the privilege of fighting over who is going to ride in the back seat of Mrs. Gibson’s car next year. Take it easy on Mali and Walter and don’t be late more than once a week. Lastly, we appoint David Riggie the executor of this last will and testament.

The plot revolved around the Popoff family and the Fry family who have been feuding for years because one day a Popoff said he was going out to shoot a skunk and accidently shot Paw Fry instead. Emmy, who s afraid there won t be enough boys left to marry up with them the traveling preacher comes, decides to enlist the aid of Mountain Maggie, a legendary character who travels around the hills, nursing the sick. Mountain Maggie mixes up a love potion of sugar and water and all is going will until Rosie Belle comes in with the news; it was all a trick. Once more the feud is ended and everyone is happy, but not before there are ouite a few merry mix ups and rib-tickling situations. The Gang and The Car —31— HIGH SCHOOL NEWS The Freshman Initiation was held September 17, 1954, at the Village Hall. The freshmen, dressed in a strange array of clothing, marched from the high school to the hall at the request of the mighty sophomores. The sophomores had a well planned program ending with a dance which made the evening enjoyable even to the new freshmen. On October 12, 1954, all the students had individ- ual pictures taken by the National School Studios. The pictures returned in time to be used as Christmas gifta The local prize speaking and spelling contest was held at the Village Hall on October 20, 1954. Harriett Pudvah came out on top in the prize speaking and Connie Egner in the spelling contest. October 29, the seniors presented anunforgettable hillbilly play, A Feuding Over Yonder. Many students of the high school participated in this three-act come- dy. The Frys and the Hornhonkers will long be remem- bered. November 5, the Vantine Studios of Boston, Massa- chusetts, took the senior pictures. Also on thes date the league prize speaking and spelling contest was held at the Wells River Village Hall. Connie Egner again copped first place in the spelling contest and Harriett Pudvah came in second in the prize speaking. On November 9, 1954, the high school held its an- nual open house for the benefit of the studentTs par- ents. Teachers were present to answer any questions that were asked. This year, as in the past years, the high cchool held a Christmas party. Plans for the party were made by Miss Legare s homemaking class. Punch and cake were served after the customary visit from Santa Claus. This year we were honored to have Mr. Jock, disguised as Santa, to hand out the gifts. The sophomore class held a food sale at Jock s store on January 15, 1955. On February l£, the senior class sponsored a sup- per and fun game. The proceeds were to be used for the senior class trip. March 1 , 1955� the seniors sponsored another pro- gram. This program included two one-act plays; High Window by the high school and Little Red Schoolhouse by the Jr. High. Also included in the program were some beautiful films on Italy shown by Mr. Carlo Andreoletti from South Ryegate. The Party Line was published again this year. Donna Cusano, the editor, and her staff did a fine job in making the paper a success. Hot lunches were served this last winter. Mrs. Zwicker was unable to continue working for the students throughout the winter, but she was replaced by Mrs. Virginia Henderson from Newbury, Vermont. We hope we will be able to have Mrs. Henderson back with us next year. On April 13, the history class visited the legis- lature in Montpelier. We were the guest s of Mr. Chamberlain.

The evening was climaxed with the combined chorus under the direction fo Mr. Paul Zeller. Drivers Education GIRLS BASKETBALL The 1954-55 basketball season was very success- ful this year with their new coach, Doris Sawyer. The players all had high hopes of winning the cup, but fate did not have it so. We did manage to come up fighting, with the honor of second place. All of our games were played within the league this year, except for the two games we played with Woodsville. For the first time in perhaps a century Woodsville s Litz Lassies were beat- en by the Never Say Die Wells River girls. The girls started right in fighting for the cup at the Round Robin, in the beginning of the season, by conquering the Peacham girls. Many a game was won by the beautiful long shots by Patty Roben, co-captain, and the fast playing of guards Yvonne Grenier and Rosemary Basch. All these girls are certainly going to be missed on the basket- ball court next year, but we know the team always comes back, bigger and better every year. W.R.H.S. _ 45 Mt.

Under Coach Cook for the second year, the boys showed consideraole improvement this year and are anticipating a brighter season for 1955-56. As in previous years, a game with the Old Grads was played during Christmas vacation. The Alumni proved their superiority over the high school team by winning, 54-50. Playing for the victors were: Tink Winchester, Hod Symes, Ray Hunt, Zeke Merchant, Russ Sulham, Dave 3idwell, Buddy Marden and John Demeritt. Although Larry Laraarre, Bob Sargent, Gordon Boomhower, and Harold Gravlin will be lost via gradu- ation, several experienced eighth graders will uickly fill the positions vacated by these boys. Dave Riggie was high scorer with 154 points, fol- lowed in this order: Boyce-114, Hourihan-91, Lamarre- 65, Boomhower-64, Sargent-27, Cone-23, Gravlin-19 , Kaiser-6, Clark-2, and Doug Riggie-0.

Marilyn Jock, and Donna Cusano, with the Junior cheerleaders, Arvilla Boyce and Christine Kaiser, enjoyed another season dur- ing 1954-55. Frequent practices were held by the Jun- iors whereby they developed several new and excellent cheers. The Seniors also worked out new motions to some of their cheers. This year both cheerleading groups had attractive new uniforms. The older girls were delighted with their new maroon and white satin, as were the Juniors with their short skirts and maroon pom-poms, which they made themselves. A new and enjoyable experience for the girls was the Cheerleading Contest held at Woodsville, New Hamp- shire, January 28, in which both groups participated. A NIGHT ON THE OCEhN The night was inky black and cuttingly damp . There were no street lamps to light the treacherous way along the ocean by the cliff. A storm was brewing, the wind howled and the ocean roared in response. What a perfect night for murder; she thought as she picked her way along the steep cliff. The thought frightened her and, because of this, every now and then she stopped and listened for footsteps behind her. How very easily a person could kill an unsus- pecting traveler and toss him to the cruel jaws of the seal No one would ever know but what the unfortunate one had tripped and fallen into the merciless waves. She stopped again and listened but the screamirg wind did not reveal her fate. She hurried faster, tak- ing care not to fall on the sharp edges of the cliff. Once more she stopped and, during a lull in the wind, it seemed that she could hear footsteps behind her. Could anyone be following, she thought? Running as fast as she dared,she wound her way around the razor-edged precipice. At this point she was forced to slow down because rain had made the incumbent cliff slippery and extremely dangerous. Again she stopped and listened. Were the foot- steps gaining? Because of the lamentation of the wind and the screaming of the ocean, she coild not tell. Once more she hurried on with the wind slapping her in the face like a broken tent flap hitting its anchor in a hurricane. Once again she stopped. Frantically, she looked behind into the velvet blackness. She could see noth- ing but now, even above the falling rain, the wailing wind and the rise of the ocean, she could very defi- nitely hear the sharp tattoo of footsteps behind her on the path. On and on she hurried—faster and faster—pray- ing every inch of the way that she would terminate her perilous journey. She had no enemies---how could she be killed? Could the person following her possibly know that she was carrying $50,000 in her purse? ImpossibleJJIJI Only the lawyer, dressed in expensive tweed, who had just paid her, knew. Again she stopped and she could distinguish the footsteps coming closer and closer. She caught her breath and wanted to scream but on she rushed. If only I can get away from the cliff she thought. The rain was falling steadily now and tne way became more dangerous. She hurried on, faster than was safe. The person behind her was catching up. Would her death be soon? Stopping to breathe before she could run farther she felt that she would faint or collapse in fright. Suddenly hands were around her neck. She could feel the rough tweed rub her cheek. Her purse was snatched away and down over the high craig she went. Falling, falling, falling into the ruthless unpitying waves of the cold ocean and no one would ever know..... Ida Wilson CALLAHAN REMEMBERS Callahan smiled to himself as he walked along his beat. It was a nice warm day for a change, he thought. The snow was practically gone from the ground, the birds were singing, and signs of spring were in the air. The thought of spring made Callahan walk more lightly and it seemed to relieve the throbbing in his feet. Callahan was a cop and a darned good one too. He was a fat, good natured Irishman. To top it all off, he loved kids. The kids on his beat knew this for a fact and they appreciated and rewarded it. But don’t think they were always like that. No, it took time and patience to win them over in his confidence, but Callahan had the ability and the personality to do this. He could clearly remember back those two years when he was told to report at the chief1s office. ”Callahan,n boomed the chief, Ifve just been handed two bread and entering complaints from stores on 22nd. Street. The proprietors have reason to believe that the culprits are a group of teenage boys. They need a cop down there, Callahan, and they need one bad, so I’m sending you. Dig these boys out of their hiding places, try to talk to them, and if you ever need to, don’t hesitate to call the patrol wagon.” Yes, Callahan remembered that afternoon in the chief’s office and he also remembered another after- noon, the afternoon he reported to work at 22nd Street. That was also a warm day -with the birds singing and o- ther signs of spring in the air. On this day, Calla- han wasn’t thinking of spring. He was thinking about the tough job ahead of him and he was worried. He wasn’t walking lightly on the spring day and he wasn’t smiling to himself. His feet ached and so did his head. was a fairly quiet day on the street. A few of the younger boys and firls were playing hop scotch in the street. Callahan remembered the depressed feeling that made him want to help these children. It was a poor heighborhood, but there were others just like it and even worse throughout the entire city. He walked casually past Shultz Fruit Market and suddenly felt a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach. He knew he was being watched so he quickly turned around. Standing behind him was a group of boys. They were young, not over sixteer.i out they were tough. One of them yelled, Hey boys, get a load of the new copll Ain’t he a handsome sight in his pretty blue uniform? Callahan felt a sudden impact on his chest and looking down saw the remains of a ripe red tomato on his lean uniform. That really raised his Irish temper. He grabbed the youngster by the collar of his shirt and pulled him to him. He pulled from his pocket a large white handkerchief and said, Okay kid, start cleaning and don’t stop until every last piece of tomato is off my uniformi The boy was stunned for a moment, but he did what Callahan ordered, while the others looked on in sur- prise. After the boy reluctantly finished his task, he said in a sarcastic tone of voice, Well, what are you waiting for? Ain’t you going to call for the wag- on? Callahan’s Irish laughter boomed forth. No Sonny, he said, I think you’ve learned your lesson and besides we don’t like scalawags like you clutter- ing up the city jail. He continued his way down the sidewalk, but he heard the boys say, That guy’s a real cop, not the promotion hunting sour type they usually stick on this beat. Maybe we’d better be off if we leveled with him on a lot of things. Yes, that was Callahan’s first day on 22nd Street, but not his last. It was his first encounter with the boys, but also not his last. It took more than that one incident to win the boys over, but it gave Calla- han confidence to have jumped the first hurdle suc- cessfully. Besides, the boys liked him because Callahan was a good cop. sr shadow lake It was about six o'clock one August evening when Lorayne and I left for Shadow Lake where my parents had rented a cottage for two weeks. My father had previ- ously arranged for us to ride up and back, as far as Lyndonville, with the meat manager who works at the A. P. Store in Woodsville. It started to rain but we were in high spirits at the prospect of our two nightTs and one day's vacation at the lake. Already we planned all we were going to. When we finally did reach Lyndonville, the rain was really coming down but my parents were there and waiting for us. As we sped along the dirt road, my father sud- denly decided he needed some night crawlers to go fish- ing with. After several unsuccessful stops we finally came upon a shack of sorts with a sign that read, Bait for sale. After inquiring and waiting for ten or fifteen minutes a little boy brought up a can of water logged worms, a disappointment for ray parents but a big laugh for us. The camp itself was small and neat, sitting enough off the road so there was a spacious lawn on which there were two lawn chairs. On the left of the lawn there was a small private beach. The back porch of the camp jutted out above the water and was glassed in. Besides the porch there were two rooms downstairs which consisted of the kitchen and living room. Up- stairs there were three large bedrooms, a hall and a lavatory. Quite a treat for a couple of excited teen- agers! The first thing we did on our arrival was ex- amine and explore the place from top to bottom. Much to our astonishment it had a lot to yield in our short stay there. After eating lunch and helping with the dishes, we unpacked and set about making ourselves a home. We were up promptly the next day at six-thirty. The sun was shining but there was a cool breeze. After donning our bathing suits and eating breakfast, we decided to take the boat to the public beach for a swim. It was at this point our difficulties began. We quickly bailed the boat out and with a push we were .on our way. Can I row? Well, I want to row too so 1 11 row over and you can row back, O.K.? That's all right with me. Say, you know the water's a little rough. Oh, well, as weTre half way there now, thereTs no use turning around. Besides we came for a little ex- citement, didn’t we? There aren’t many people around; it must be too cold for them. Come to think of it we haven’t seen anyone since we got here. Must be they hibernate during the day. We’re here. Last one out of the boat has to put it on the beach. Aw, come on, and help me. O.K.. watch on or are you awfully stormy. Looks going Are you going in with your just giving it a bath? The water’s nice, but it looks Say, we’d better start back. Don’t forget it’s my turn to row. You’d better hurry. It's getting darker, like we’re in for a storm and I thought it was to be nice out today. Boy, we’re sailing right along. HELP! OWI OH! What happened? The oar locks broken and here we are half way out. What’ll we do? The lake’s getting rougher. Hal Ha! Ha! You know for a minute, I thought you were going to fall in. Did you ever look funny. What are we going to tell your father? Don't worry. I’ll tell him I broke it. No, you won’t. I’ll tell him I broke it. We might tell him we both broke it. I sure hope he believes us when we do tell him. How are we going to get back? We certainly can’t leave the boat. Besides even if we could, I wouldn’t be able to swim that far anyway. We could try rowing with one oar. I’m sure glad you’re doing the rowing then. You know it looks as if we were getting farther away from shore. Take a rest. Maybe we can think of some- thing else. I’ve got it! We can both row and one of will just have to row the best he can. Say, that sounds keen. I’ll use the broken first. We’d better get as close to shore as we can. It was like this we came back to camp, tired, hungry and grateful. It was a short swim for so much difficulty and a close escape but at least we were safe and sound for the time being. ....Yvonne Grenier.... us one f Eggie Jeanette and Everest U.S. Post Office, Wells River, Vermont Pat Russell, Antiques, Wells River, Vermont Grey Shoppe, St. Johnsbury, Vermont School Days Donna: ”1 turned on my radio this morning and got Bangor.
