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

We learned that Richard Evans had become one of the best surveyors in the United States. The government had hired him to supervise the new Super Underground Highway connecting the U. S. with Europe. Richard told us he was still looking for the right girl but enjoying himself while doing so. Once again Pierre started his jet engines and we flew to Miami Beach, Florida. Vacationing in Florida, we found Sandy Anderson and her husband, an executive of the A. P. Food Stores. Sandy, glowing with a beautiful tan, was sitting in her patio with her twin daughters. Pierre and I said good- bye to Sandy and continued on our journey. Our final stop was to see Stanley Beck. Stanley finished his TV show, then took us to dinner where we could chat. This completed the round of the class of 1961. Feeling quite satisfied in seeing all our friends, I returned to New York to my family which I forgot to mention, my husband, a fine young doctor, and our little boy and girl. Pierre, also pleased with our visit, returned to his home in Indianapolis where he intended to test the car he purchased from the Bubble Motors Garage. Linda Rosa

CLASS PROPHECY On a fine spring morning I was sitting at my desk In the Nurses Station in New York City’s largest hospital. As I looked up from my work, I seemed to recognize a fine looking young man walking down the corridor. Realizing that it was Pierre Guillemette, I went to meet him. Pierre told me he'd heard I was employed at the hospital and he had come to ask me If I’d like to make a trip to the Metropolis of Barre, Vermont. I phoned my apartment and left word of my journey. Pierre summoned a taxi driver. We traveled to the airport where we went aboard the Guillemette Super-Duper Jet. In a matter of minutes we landed on the Granite City air strip. We hired a car and drove to Bast Barre stopping at the Bubble Motors Garage. John Blake had a series of garages with the headquarters in East Barre. John had custom- ized a special racing car for Pierre to race at Indianapolis. As we talked of old times, we decided to visit all our former classmates. Persuading John to accompany us, we went to the principal’s office of the Wells River Area School. We heard a raised voice, one that sounded familiar, the door opened and a fiery eyed student dashed out. We proceeded into the office greatly surprising Joani Spear. Joani told us the school year was drawing to an end and she had decided to resign from the office of principal. I noticed her left hand, saw the sparkling diamond and then realized why Joani was no longer interested in teaching. By the twinkle in Joani's eye I knew at once who the lucky guy was. Do you?? We returned to our car and crossed the bridge to Woodsville. John wasn't certain where Ruthie Ranno lived but we soon spied her. Mrs. Locke was out at the clothes line hanging up her washing. Ruthie had three fine looking children. She tried to persuade us to stay for supper, but we told her we had to be on our way. Insisting that no one could take care of his business, John went back to East Barre and Pierre and I returned to our former homes agreeing to start on the rest of our journey the next morning, at 7:30. Having Inquired about the rest of our classmates, we decided it would be better to motor back to the airport and fly to visit our friends. In a little town in Massachusetts, we found Bonnie Van Hamont’s widely known Animal Hospital. Her husband was a farmer and Bonnie had three Veterinarian Degrees. She was called for her services all over the world.
