SPEAR MISS LEGARE PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE To you, the Class of 1959, I extend sincere congratulations. May your years in Wells River High School have been both happy and helpful. Whether you now continue your formal education or go into other fields of activity your success will depend, in part at least, on whether or not you have benefited from the opportuni- ties offered in high school to develop mature, understanding, and thinking individuals. The primary objective of your school has been to prepare you to meet the demands of adulthood by giving you these oppor- tunities in your class work and extracurricular activities. You have been provided a scholastic training which means far more than the mere acquisition of knowledge alone. We hope that you have acquired the power to think, not merely to repeat, for America today vitally needs citizens who have gained the ability to reason. By being taught to analyze given problems on the bas- is of all facts and experience available, we hope that you will not accept in unthinking conformity the conclusion offered on any question, but will think out the problem on your own and then compare conclusions. I wish you well. Carroll Stoughton Pag� 6 EDITORIAL The senior year is a busy year, with a yearbook to pub- lish, graduation speeches to write, futura plans to form, and the odds and ends of every flay activities. Off and on throughout the rush to accomplish everything, every senior stops to take stock of his or herself. Up to now it hasn t been necessary to think of what will happen Mafter graduation.” It's been school, vacation, school, vacation,—until now. Suddenly there's a break. What happens after graduation is up to the individuals. So far, what have they done with their lives? Are they satis- fied? Do they feel ready to take responsibility along with every other citizen? By the time many students reach their senior year in high school, their outlook on life has been rather definite- ly formed. Whether realized or not, these past four years of trial and error are the foundation of their lives. Brand- ed as teenagers” they are set apart from everyone else, young and old. As children, their surrounding environment, consisting of parents and friends, was the only direct in- fluence. Upon reaching the teens their small world spreads to envelope past, present, future, and the world! Opinions, ideas, and feelings are based on anything anywhere, distance being no object. No longer secluded, the facts of the world are exposed in sudden light. As graduation day approaches, all sorts of advice is given to the seniors. The chance to put into practice what they have learned is at hand. Perhaps the best advice to give to a senior lies in this verse from Longfellow's poem, The Builders.” Build today, then, strong and sure. With a firm and ample base; And ascending and secure Shall tomorrow find its place.” Pag� 7 Sandy Placey Editor 0 VALEDICTORIAN JUDITH ANNE EVANS Nickname: Judy Gattin Ready for Freddie Class President 1 Class Secretary 2 Class Vice-President 3 Latin Club 1-2 French Club 2-3 Prize Spelling 1,2,3,4 (winner 4) One-Act Plays 1,2,3,4 Senior Play 3-4 Glee Club 1,2,3,4 Hilldale League Music Festival 1,2,3,4 All State Music Festival 4 Newspaper 1,2,3,4 Magazine Drive 1,2,3,4 Cheerleading 2,3,4 Basketball 1,2,3,4 (captain 4 ) Student Council 3 (president) D.A.R.

By Sula Rowell 59 CLASS HISTORY-1959 The senior class of 1959 started out in the first grade in September 1947. In our first year we had seven students. Nancy Burnham, Susan Farwell, Roger Grenier, Solonge Houle, Donna Moulton, Bonnie Ostrander, Sula Rowell, and Wayne Gonyer. It wasn't long before we finished our first year and were on our wsy back to our second. In the second grade we gained Jo Ann St Marie Bobby Knighton, Calvin Cushing and Jure Gaylor. Later we lost Solonge Houle. In the third grade we gained Teddy Roberts and Maurice Boardman. We lost Bonnie Ostrander and June Gaylor. We had finally learned our ABC's from Miss Darling and went to Mrs. Stanley's room for the fourth grade. We gained Judy Evans, Sandy Placey, Donnie Trottier and lost Jo Ann St Marie, Maurice Boardman. In grade five we had no new class mates. In the sixth grade we gained Roberta Welch and Roger Bowley. We had finally finished our first six grades. We dreaded climbing those big stairs to Junior High, but finally made it. In seventh grade June Gaylor returned to join our class. It seemed as though time flew now that v:e had reached the upstairs. We finally reached the eighth grade and lost Suls Rowell. A new teacher was added to the staff, Mr. Griffith. He taught the 7-8 grades from then on. We were the first to have graduation in the eighth grade. It wasn't long before we started our climb to the freshman class. It seemed a longer climb than the Junior High was. We gained Harold Avery, Perl Tobin and Roger Bowley. There was one thing that bothered us becoming a Freshman - Freshman initiation. We didn't forget about it for a long time because the Sophomores wouldn't let us. We soon finished our freshman year and became Sophomores.We lost Harold Avery. In our Junior year we gained Sula Rowell again. We finally became mighty seniors and are graduating with the following students: Judy Evans, Roger Grenier, Sandy Placey,Teddy Roberts, Wayne Gonyer, Roger Bowley, Perl Tobin, Sula Rowell, Nancy Burnham and Susan Farwell. Thev did very well on the basketball team this year. Girls lost by graduation will be Judy Evans, Susan Farwell and Sula Row- ell. They were all very good players and Wells River High will miss them next year. The boys' basketball team won the Hilldale League Champion- ship. Roger Grenier and Teddy Roberts will be the only two grad- uating� They both did a great job on the basketball court. The baseball team will miss Perl Tobin, Roger Grenier, and Teddy Roberts next year although they will still have a great team. Teddy Roberts 59 75 PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF 1959 It was in the year 2000. I was working on the books in the office of ay stable, the Wells River Morgan Horse Farm, when the door opened and ROGER GRENIER walked in. I had seen Roger off and on since we graduated from high school, back in 1959, as he was a professor at the university, now located in the city -Wells River. We talked for a while about old times before he got down to the main point of his visit. It seems that he had rec- eived a telephone call from our old high school teacher, MRS. SPEAR, who was now Secretary General of the United Peoples of the Planet Earth and was staying at the new headquarters building in Wells River. She and her co-workers, MR. STOUGHTON from Urantum, MISS LEGARE from Polywoggus, and MRS. GIBSON from Ralipotobia, represented the four main sections of the world which developed in 1960, after the fall of communism and democracy. The world at that thme was in danger of being conquered by invaders from outer space. Mrs. Spear and her three fellow-teachers developed and carried out a plan to unite the world’s resources against the invaders. When peace came, they set about organizing a protect- ive league in case such a thing might happen again. The league was now working on several projects to promote spacewide peace and Cooperation. Mrs. Spear was appealing to us because there was a committee of six coming that afternoon to attend a world conference and she was too busy to meet them. So Roger and I went to the airport to meet the first plane. It was a private airliner, one of the biggest we had seen, and the man who alighted seemed to be very friendly. He was the ex- ecutive type with a wide smile and a big cigar. We were very surprised to discover that he was our old classmate, WAYNE GONYER. He had flown from Iraq where he owned and operated huge oil wells for the Shell Oil Company. The next plane was due in ten minutes so we sat and talked to Wayne while we waited. When the huge commercial airliner arrived, we greeted two more guests «ho introduced themselves as PERL TOBIN and TEDDY ROBERTS. This certainly was a surprise! Perl, tanned and much taller, had flown from Northern Siberia where he owned the larg- est ant farm in the world. Since these little creatures were much in demand for pets, he had a flourishing business. Teddy owned all the seaweed plantations. He and his charming wife had just bought a new home—a submarine, and were living at the North Pole, from where they directed Operation Seaweed. “ We all got into my car and drove to the shipyard on the Connecticut, where we were scheduled to meet a representative Pog 16 from Monte Carlo. A beautiful yacht had just been docked and the owner was coming ashore. She was very pretty and dressed in the latest style. When we greeted her we discovered that she was none other than JUDY EVANS, another member of the class of 59. She and her husband owned the largest string of nightclubs in the world. When we arrived at the hotel where we all were to stay, we found the other delegate waiting for us. Much to our surprise, we discovered that he was ROGER BOWLEY, a former classmate!! He revealed that he had postponed his latest hunting expedition, one into outer space to search for Purple People Eaters to save them from extinction, to attend the conference. Then we were very hungry so we sat down to order a meal of Teddy's seaweed. The meal was hardly over when in walked a smart- ly dressed woman, carrying a pad and pencil. That red hair was unmistakable—it was SANDY PLACEY, another classmate! This real- ly was a class reunion!! Sandy told us that she owned the World Magazine and had left her research in Moscow on the fall of com- munism to cover the conference personally. The next night we gave a huge welcoming banquet for the con- vention. Everyone was present. The waiters were standing near the doors, ready to serve the food and the speakers were all seat- ed. Things could not begin, however, as Mr. Stoughton's secreta- ry had not come and she had the notes for his very very important speech. Time dragged on and it was really getting late when sudden- ly the doors were thrown open and we were surrounded by police- men. We were informed that someone had plotted to destroy all world leaders by poisoning their seaweed, but that they had been found out in time by SUSAN PARWELL, Mr. Stoughton’s secretary and also top undercover agent for the Federal Bureau of Indigestion. So here we are, telling you this story from behind bars— but we really don't care. At least we had a class reunion, which was a surprise and probably our last, for here come the guards to take us to the world penitentiary. Sula Rowell and Roger Grenier Rag• 17 SENIOR PLAY MUMBO JUMBO This year’s senior play, Mumbo Jumbo , was one of the high- lights of the season. It was presented October 30th at the vill- age hall. A gay, modern, mystery farce, crammed with action and plenty of laughs, Mumbo Jumbo was a big success. The story centered around two college boys, Dick and Pee-Wee, who, for an ulterior motive, spent the week-end at Dick's uncle's house in the coun- try. Fortunately, Uncle John and Aunt Sarah are called away to the funeral of a distant relative in Kokomo) now the boys are left alone on their mysterious mission. However, the large sum of money they brought in a suitcase had disappeared! As cash is needed in a hurry, Dick decides to turn the place into a country hotel for the night. In a short time the hotel is packed with a strange assort- ment of guests. During the night, one of them. Peaches Greeding, is murdered! Two sheriffs arrive to take charge of the invest- igation, each from a different county. Since the house is built on the county line, these officers have to work together. As the cycle of events go around things become more involved than ever. Pag 18 JR. HIGH E. Cushing J. Amstein R. Weeks m. Stoughton P. Guilmette M. Nason P. Masten C. Deming Vigneau B. Rowe A.

Vigent R� Murphy NEWSPAPER Barbie Spear, a junior, edited this year's Party Line . The staff met about every other Tuesday, during activity period, to plan forthcoming issues. Altogether, ten school newspapers were published. The purpose of the Party Line is to establish a contact from W. R. H. S. to parents and friends. An annual Press Confer- ence at L. T. C. offers various instruction classes for improve- ments of high school newspapers. The staff has profited from these suggestions. Credit should be given to Linda Rosa for her attractive cov- ers. Recently an article Maroon Matters began its weekly ap- pearance in the Woodsville News- Times. Feature writers on the Party Line taff startdd writing this note of school activities at the suggestion of some private citizens. No decision has yet been made as to what purpose the money made on the Party Line will be used; however, it will benefit the school. Last year it went towards a tape recorder.

The team won the league title and min-season tournament with very little trouble. This was also the first year that the Maroons managed to get to the state semi-finals where they were beaten 38 to 35 by Alburgh. The only two seniors on the team were Ted Roberts and Roger Grenier, which leaves a promising team for the future. Roger Grenier led the Maroons in points and also led the League. Ted Roberts was second in scoring for the team and was the Maroons number one rebounder along with Dave Rowe. The guards did an excellent job although for most of them it was their first year in the starting line-up. Coach Charlie Griffith has been coaching the team for four years and has done an excellent job in working with them.

Although the Glee Club has not partici- pated in as many activities as other years, they have given a fine exhibition of their hard work. Orchestra This year Mrs. Spear directed a school orchestra which has played at many of the school activities. Besides the usual events the students were honored to play at a Study Club meeting. The members have contributed to the entertainment of the community and gained much experience by participating.
