As the evening shades descended. Low and loud and sweetly blended. Low at times and loud at times. And changing like a poet's rhymes. Rang the beautiful wild chimes From the belfry in the market Of the ancient town of Bruges. —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 1949 VOLUME FIVE WINOOSKI - VERMONT ANN LISTER Editor-in-Chief RUTH LAMOTHE Business Manager DEDICATION It is with pride, that we, the Senior Class and Yearbook Staff of 1949, proudly dedicate this issue of the CARILLON to our beloved teacher and athletic coach, Mr. John J. Herbert, who is better known to most of the students as Pro -2- DEDICATION John J. Herbert, “Pro” to us, came to Winooski High School as a teacher and coach in September, 1942. Mr. Herbert, the son of Mr. and Mrs. John J. Herbert, Sr., of Farmingdale, L. I., claims Connecticut for his birthplace, but boasts that his paternal grandfather was a native Vermonter. His early education was received in Bridgeport, Conn., and when his family moved to Long Island he attended the local schools and was graduated from the high school in Farmingdale, L. I. During his high school career he excelled in basketball and baseball. In recognition of his ability in these sports, he was granted a scholarship for further study. Throughout his secondary courses he participated in stu- dent council activities and served the Athletic Association in the capacity of president. Following his graduation from high school he attended prep school in Garden City, L. I., and then enrolled at St. Michael’s College, Winooski Park, in 1936, from which institu- tion he received his Ph.B. in 1940. During his college career he maintained his high athletic ability and gained enviable rec- ognition in sports. He was placed on the all-state basketball team in 1940. He attained literary prestige at St. Michael's College in creative writing, and for two years he enjoyed the honor of editor of The Lance, the College literary publication. In September, 1940, Cathedral High prof- ited with Mr. Herbert on the faculty. He coached the C. H. S. basketball team until 1942, when he came to Winooski High School. For eight years Mr. Herbert, who possesses the inspiration of a man dedicated to his work, has dealt with us with a gentlemanly conduct, in the classroom, in the gymnasium and in public. Winooski High School boasts of many honors won during Mr. Herbert’s coaching. In basketball the team was Green Mountain champions for two years, and this year, 1949, won the state championship in Class B. Per- sonal recognition was accorded him in being chosen All-Northern League coach and all- Green Mountain coach in 1947 and 1948. In baseball he has attained a colorful record in being coach of the Northern League base- ball champs in 1944 and 1943, and having his team runner-up for state championship in 1945. He is a member of the Executive Com- mittee of Vermont State Board of Basketball Officials. He is frequently seen in the role of referee at the college basketball games. He initiated THE CARILLON and directed its activities for two years. He served in the following capacities: president of the Winoo- ski Teachers’ Group, representative of the West Chittenden District Teachers in the V. E. A. and secretary of the Parent-Teachers’ Association. Mr. Herbert will leave the W. H. S. fac- ulty in June to assume the principal’s duties at Memorial School. While we regret the loss to our school, we extend sincere congratula- tions and best wishes for deserved success in this new position. Mr. Herbert married the former Betty Smyle and three daughters comprise their family, Jacqueline Lou, age seven and a pupil at the Memorial School, Linda Lee, age four, and Jane Jeffrey, age two. His favorite hobby is playing golf. The principles we have learned under his direction, the habits we have formed, the ex- amples we have seen will remain with us throughout our lives. It is fitting that we manifest our regard and warm friendship for John J. Herbert, but it is not with a feeling of mere propriety that we do this, but rather out of deep realization of the immense debt we owe to him for his interest in our young lives and his inspiring leadership. 3- The CARILLON staff, faculty, and students of W.

Superintendent Lull. Principal Couture. Members of the Faculty. Par- ents. Friends, and Schoolmates: We welcome you to this, our Commence- ment. Tonight we graduate, ready for the first steps of the grown up job of living—- with a host of hopes and plans for the un- known future. We remember our years here for the happy times they have held, some mischievous pranks, perhaps, the good friendships made, the sympathetic leadership of our teachers. And it is good that our memories are such happy ones. If we are already forgetting the tasks that seemed too dull or difficult, the tiresome routine of study into which our teachers, sometimes urilhanked. put their best efforts, it is because we learned to overcome the tasks, and because the wholesome back- ground of our “good times has become a a natural part of ourselves, a dependable equipment for the future into which we start so eagerly today. It is to our teachers that we owe this de- velopment. We came here with receptive minds, fallow fields ready for sowing. In them, little by little, our teachers planted seeds of knowledge. As they spread out be- fore us the fundamentals of education, we have not only absorbed facts, but have felt ourselves more and more in accord with the wide world. Some of us will go on to higher schools, fortunate to have the benefit of further educa- tion and training. In our training for busi ness and the professions, may we find teachers as kind, as wise, and as sympathetic as those we have known here. For others this may be their last school day as they set out to find their places in the world, to learn in the school of experience and the so-called University of Hard Knocks. They will appreciate sooner the value of what they have learned here as they apply it to their daily work. What new ideals would be worthy of the careful preliminary work that has been done in this school ? Would they be represented by success in business or in a profession? These would be worth while, but the ideals should represent more than mere worldly suc- cess. If we are to make of our lives some thing worthy of the careful attention and instruction we have received in this school we must make of ourselves men and women of whom the school may be proud. The greatest product of such training would be character. This would mean many things. Character as we should strive to attain it. would include the qualities of industry, of honesty, of courage, and of unselfishness. It was Benjamin Franklin who said. “ Sloth makes all things difficult, but industry all easy. By his faithful adherence to that idea he rose from a poor and friendless stranger in old Philadelphia to a chief pillar in the councils of his country: from a simple workman to a statesman whose memory still commands the respect of the world. Industry cannot make Franklins of all of us. but it can set us well on the way to successful careers. The first step toward greatness is to be honest, according to the proverb. This does not mean that one should be honest simply because honesty is the best policy, but that he should be honest because it is right to be honest, because he feels better for being honest. because character is better than capital. Nearly every great American, merchant or statesman, has been noted for his absolute honesty. The most illuminating stories of Abraham Lin coin as a boy deal with his high sense of honesty. We will not all be Abraham Lin- colns or great American merchants, but if we observe this attribute we shall become men and women whom they would have been glad to acknowledge as friends. Courage should be the attribute of every American. It was the dominating virtue of the pioneer. Courage won the American Revolution. It was a part of the character of every man who has achieved fame or for- tune. This does not mean physical courage alone, but the courage that is represented in sustained effort as well. It is courage that makes men truthful, that makes men just, that makes them honest, that makes them perform their duties in the face of obstacles. If men and women do not have this virtue they can- not succeed in any branch of life. Unselfishness is a necessary requirement for the man or woman who wishes to be of value to his or her community. We must sacrifice ourselves if we hope to achieve anything. We cannot gain without giving. The pioneers in America gave their strength and often their lives to conquer the wilderness, but they gained for us the most valuable country in the world. They knew that they could do no more than clear the land for those who were to follow, the great cities and states which now occupy what was then deep woods could not arise in their lifetimes: but they held to their tasks. The men who signed the Declaration of Independence were risking their lives, not for their own gain, but for the good of future generations. The soldiers who died at Val- ley Forge, or at Gettysburg, in Europe, or in the Pacific area were not seeking a material reward. They knew that the success of this nation depended on their sacrifice. If we are to do our share of service in this world we must be prepared to make sacrifices, to be unselfish. The men and women who have sown the seeds of education in us. our principal and our teachers, would feel they were well rewarded for their efforts if we developed new ideals which they could regard with pride. Whether we disappoint them or gratify their hopes rests with us. but if we strive earnestly to develop those virtues of industry, honesty, courage, and unselfishness, they will feel that their work has not been in vain, that our new ideals are worthy. This new age demands men of character and courage, men of clear thought and resolu- tion. men ready for instant service. We need moral courage for the protection and preservation of our government. We need it among our public officials so that they will prize honor above money. We need it in private life so that we will no more hesi- tate to punish unfaithful politicians than to praise them. Every man owes it to the world to stand for the right, as God gives him power to see the right. Such is our message at the close of our association with this school. T he future holds promise of good things to come. Mate- rially we hope it will be a better world to live in. Spiritually it can be a better world if we think and work and plan to make it so. -23- HISTORIA Many a time have we heard the expres- sion, “There is Nothing New Under the Sun,” and if the history of this class and its final evening of graduation is any criterion, this is very true. As class historian it is a pleasure to present to you, our teachers, par- ents, and friends, a view of our twelve years of schooling, experiences which were new to us, but were beyond a doubt a repetition of what other classes encountered. The fall day we entered school for the first lime was a pleasant balmy day, just as many other fall days before it. We were timid and shy, not knowing what we would do at school or whom we would meet when we arrived. Although our parents had tried to prepare us for this great event, no one could live the day for us, and it was not entirely as we expected. So many new faces and the lack of the pres- ence of our mothers added to the first confu- sion; but like all those beginning first graders that preceded us, we soon adjusted ourselves to the routine of school and began to enjoy the new life. We were disappointed on the days there was no school, for we had come to relish the companionship of other boys and girls and all the fun we had at school. We were lonesome for it when we stayed at home. Time passed and the years clicked by in rapid succession. While we were still very young they seemed to stretch almost into eternity but gradually they seemed to pass by faster and faster. We learned reading, writ- ing and arithmetic, the basic courses for all of our future studies. Along with these sub- jects we had drawing, singing and a day to play games in the gymnasium. Singing was especially enjoyed when the practice teachers came from the University of Vermont and each class prepared a musical skit which was to be presented before the whole student body. The routine did not vary too much from one year to the next. Before we realized it we were ready for junior high school. In the beginning of our seventh year, we were confused with the changing classes, lengthly lessons and examinations, but we all soon became accustomed to our new status. In the eighth grade with the help of Miss Mary Moore, our homeroom teacher, we pre- sented a program about George Washington to the student body. This was our first ap- pearance before the public as a class. In the same year Ann Lister and Roderic Billups were awarded the Good Citizenship Medals. CLASSIS Upon entering high school we began to notice the changes in our class membership. Frances Landry, Dean Leonard, and Frances Augustino were among those who had trans- ferred to other schools or dropped out of school, but along with our losses we had made gains. Jerry Greene joined our class in the seventh grade and Frances Brigante, Lawrence Cook, Noella Deforge, Claudette Gratton, Richard Campbell and Barbara Pari- zo, Ruth Lamothe, and Lorraine Allen came to us in their ninth year. At the beginning of this, our Freshman year, we were privileged to select some of our courses of study and we tried to make wise decisions with some thought of the future. We were beginning to think of post high school days and what we were to do after graduation. In history, we learned more about the development of our country and through civics, we organized the Civics Club which was active in Junior Red Cross Work. With music appreciation classes added to our curriculum we learned to appreciate music as well as to sing it. There is nothing like a knowledge of a subject to give one an appre- ciation for it. We had our choice of the following extra- curricular activities: Glee club, band, dra- matics, basketball, baseball, and cheerleading. Our sports program was very complete and our health courses most helpful. Numerous social events occurred during our four years of high school. We have very happy memories of our dances, glee club con- certs, class debates, class trips, and plays. Our Junior Banquet at the Country Club high lighted our third year. The girls of our class in their attractive evening gowns, wear- ing orchids, gardenias and roses sent to them by their escorts, made an attractive picture. Superintendent and Mrs. Stackpole, Principal Couture, Mrs. Prior, the class adviser, and the senior class were our guests. Miss Stone was our junior class adviser. At the beginning of our Senior year we missed our retiring superintendent Mr. Stack- pole, but we welcomed our new superintend- dent Mr. Robert D. Lull. The first social event of our senior year was the Harvest Moon Dance. It proved to be a success, both socially and financially. In the early part of the year we chose our class colors, Commencement invitations and we selected personal cards. During this time the Carillon staff and the cast for the class play were also chosen. The following were elected to the CARILLON staff: Ann Lister, editor-in-chief: Elizabeth Leo and Richard Guertin. assistant editors: Ruth Lamothe. business manager: Ruth Hutchins, Barbara Parizo, Shirley Hughes, Lorraine Allen, John Simon, Richard Campbell, Frank Vartuli and William Tobin, were members of the staff. After try-outs for the class play, Truth on a Holiday, a light comedy, the following were chosen for the cast: Richard Campbell, Ruth Lamothe, Ruth Hutchins, Claudette Gratton, Jacqueline Shirnhaus, Barbara Parizo, William Tobin, Richard Guertin, Douglas Crowley, Elaine Beveridge, Samuel Harris and Shirley Hughes. Our class advisers during our four years of high school were: 1st year—Miss Garvey, Miss Taylor, and Miss Nowland 2nd year—Mr. Herbert 3rd year—Miss Stone 4th year—Mrs. Prior The following class officers were elected during the four years: Freshman Year: President—Frank Vartuli Vice-President—Duane Crowley Secretary—Ann Lister Treasurer—Richard Campbell Sophomore Year: President—Raymond Robear Vice-President—Gerald Greene Secretary—Ruth Lamothe Treasurer—-Ruth Lamothe Junior Year: President—Frank Vartuli Vice-President—Ann Lister Secretary—Lorraine Allen Treasurer—Raymond Robear Senior Year: President—Frank Vartuli Vice-President—Richard Guertin Secretary—Ann Lister Treasurer—Ruth Lamothe We wish to thank our parents, teachers, and all those who have helped us through our twelve years of school. Although our history follows the same pattern as that of other classes, to us as mem- bers of the senior class of 49 it is a very vital part of our lives. It has been a pleasure to review it and relive it with you, for to us history has not repeated itself. Elizabeth Leo. Class of ’49. -23 - SENIOR CLASS PLAY A three-act comedy “Truth on a Holiday” won prolonged applause when presented on April 19. The story is based upon the childish prank of a college co-ed, Alice Grant, who takes her father for a jolly ride by making him a case study for a term paper in abnor- mal psychology. She describes him as suffer- ing from delusions of grandeur, because she has heard mother say he was planning to run for governor. The psychology professor calls at the home of the victim to check details first hand. It happens to be the very day the father accepts the nomination, Mrs. Grant, much against her husband’s wishes has asked an interior decorator to inspect the house. To cover up his visit she passes him off as a de- tective named Jones. Meanwhile Professor Prickett has assumed the name of Jones also to remain incognito in conducting his inves- tigation. There are hilarious scenes when the two Jones are mistaken one for the other. A kitchen maid who is a puzzle addict finally lands the Professor. No one dares tell any- one the truth for fear of embarrassing con- sequences. The play closes happily with Alice con- fessing to the Professor, Mr. Grant agrees to having the house redecorated and the nomina- tion is in the bag. The maid wins a trip to Honolulu and persuades the Professor to go along with her.

I have just received a letter from Ann Lister, whom we have all come to know as the Skylark of the Air Waves, telling me of the tenth reunion of the 1949 Graduation Class of Winooski High School. Since I am teaching at the University here in Cairo, Egypt, I was unable to attend the last two reunions. How thoughtful of Ann to stop in the middle of her television rehearsal to write me the latest news. New York City May 25, 1959 Dear Elaine. During my lunch hour I shall write you all I can of our class reunion. You probably know that Raymond Robear is the secretary and as such he read your letter. He is now a full-fledged physician and is vitally inter- ested in cancer control. We all regretted not being able to talk with you, but do envy you those summers of travel through Europe. By the way, did you know that Richard Campbell is the New York District Manager of the United Airlines, and that Douglas Crowley is in the office at Hongkong, China? We did not get to see him, but his wife, Teruke Watanabe, was here to bring news of their two pair of twins. She has traveled home from China by air, of course, bringing all four youngsters with her. If you notice the enclosed picture of our reunion she is the one dressed with an oriental influence. Here is something you will never believe! About two weeks ago I was hurrying along in the wind, thinking more about my hair than the traffic, when suddenly an arm reached out and grabbed me, while at the same time a stern voice said, Lady, you had better watch the stop light.” Looking up sheepishly I found myself staring right into the face of no one but, John Simon. He is just about the last person I should expect to be a patrolman in New York. I had a chance to talk to him at our dinner, and he took advantage of it to kid me, said I should have been televised, then I would never jay walk again. Noella Deforge is now living in Toronto, Canada. Like the Canadian Mounted Po- lice, she will “get her man” at Thanksgiving time. His name is Carlos Guiseppi Van Do- reu. Speaking of television, if you received your last copy of Time magazine you probably noticed that Richard Guertin has been named the sports announcer of the year. He always was so enthusiastic about all sports, but honestly, I would have expected him to play professional football after his spectacular col- lege days at William and Mary College. His sports casts of any game are always better than the real game when you view him with television. At the alumni dinner we all stood up and told what we have done during the past ten years, and are doing now. William Tobin, broke the ice and spoke first. He told of spending all his time trying to perfect an automobile that will run on water, and just recently had been awarded a patent on his in- vention. Now all he must do is get the cars on the market. I’ll be the first in line to buy one. When Frances Brigante started to tell us of her life work, she passed to each of us a dozen eggs. It seems that she has settled down on a poultry farm in Maryland, and is making a huge success at it, especially now that she has broadened into the use of Air ex- press. -27- Did I tell you that Lawrence Cook was there? He was in New York for a news- paper convention, so could be at the dinner. After working as a foreign correspondent for a couple of years, he was appointed News Editor of the St. Louis Globe-Dispatch. He hopes to be publisher some day, but he is doing very well for a man about 28 years old. Another former class member to make good in his field is Frank Vartuli, who told us of his research into social problems for his new textbook. He is lecturing at Columbia Uni- versity this year, on information about Pales- tine. Another prosperous business woman is Lorraine Allen Sweeney, who confessed she had designed and supervised the decorations for the dining room in which we were eating. She has a shop near Times Square here in New York and creates the most unusual table and room decorations for very exclusive Park Avenue parties. Beverly Lister, also was at the reunion. She is now head buyer for the Columbia Rug Company. It is the largest Rug Company in the United States. Beverly has traveled all over the world and someday just as soon as General Jarvis retires from the Army she ex- pects to make a change in her career. There was a Navy Fleet that landed in New York two weeks ago and that is the reason why Lorraine Leclair is here, to see a certain Elmer, more than to attend the re- union. Lorraine has obtained a leave of ab- sence from the hospital where she is Head Nurse, for one month. For the past ten years we have all expected to see a wedding band on her hand, but it still came as a surprise. We had a new poet at our reunion, Thomas Kane. We knew that Thomas could write poetry if he put his mind to it, but Thomas never seemed very interested in poetry until he met Karen Ban Hopp, and she was his inspiration, now he will be inspired by Karen most of the time because there is to be a wed- ding in June. He has dedicated his first book of poems to Karen. She was at the dinner and I can see why she inspired Thomas. To quote Shakespeare, Her sunny locks hang on her temples like a golden fleece.” Shirley Hughes was also at the dinner, having made the trip from Zanesville, Ohio, where she is head of a business college. She graduated from some Ohio College, I do not know which one, and she took special work at the Gregg School in Chicago before she started teaching. She rapidly climbed to the top of her ladder where she is buliding up this school with her radiant personality and her keen business sense. Also at the dinner was a very famous lawyer, Sam Harris. He flew up from Reno to attend the dinner, and there he is kept pretty busy. He had been handling divorce cases. Also he has had quite a few offers to be married, but he has not accepted any as yet. Gerald Greene is now coaching basketball at Fordham University and I, Ann, will be- come Mrs. Gerald Greene on next October 14. Probably the most entertaining member of the class was the one who entered during the program dressed as a clown. He paraded about playing pranks on everybody. He kept us guessing and amused for quite a while un- til finally the last thing on the program he removed his false face to reveal the fact that he was not a man at all. This clown was a girl, none other than Muriel Leblanc. She explained how she had done nothing exciting compared to most of us—she is still at home and is teaching in the same high school where she graduated from. For a hobby she has made several costumes and entertains the children and shut-ins on holidays and at parties. She certainly had us fooled with the clown act. Jacqueline Shirnhaus Rocheleau also was at the reunion. She is kept pretty busy now caring for her five-year-old daughter, and writing her fashion column for the Boston Sun newspaper. Around the University of California there has been much talk about one girl who has just become engaged to Professor Dinglehop- per. All the girls on the campus have had hopes to become the future Mrs. Dinglehop- per, but it seems that it took a girl from good old W. H. S., Elizabeth Leo, to win his heart with her charming ways. As soon as this term is over they plan to be married. The -28- whole student body has been invited, and Elizabeth Leo seems to be very happy over the whole affair. Oh, I saw Robert Blanchard the other day doing something that I never believed he would do. Of all things he was carrying a large bag of mail on his back and he was whistling “Love Letters.” He is a mail car- rier, but he still isn’t married. Mrs. St. Amour, the former Barbara Pari- zo, was at the dinner and she looked charm- ing. As you know she is a designer and she designs her own clothes. As you also probably know by now, she was married last June. Most of us were surprised to see that she had finally decided on which one she really wanted to marry. We received a telegram from Paul St. Peter saying that he regreted not being able to at- tend the reunion, but he was painting, and it was very important that he finish this paint- ing, as this was his first opportunity to paint in Italy, and that he had been waiting so long that he couldn’t possibly refuse this big chance. He said he would try to make the reunion next year, and he sent his regards to all. During the program Ruth Hutchins sang to us. She has been singing with the Metro- politan Opera Company for two years, and she plans to go to Europe in the near future to complete her studies in music. Raymond Niquette was unable to attend the dinner also because he is now in Holly- wood making a movie picture, and in the movie he is doing a roller skating act. We all will be waiting to see Raymond’s first picture. Ruth Lamothe Nolan was at the dinner with her four little boys and her husband, Curly. Do you remember how Ruth used to tell us that she would rather care for boys than girls? I wonder if she still feels the same about it? Her boys seem to keep her quite busy. Claudette Gratton Bissonette was at the dinner also with her husband, Donald, and their two little girls. The little girls were interested in Ruth’s little boys. Claudette’s husband has a gas station, and the bookkeep- ing claims much of Claudette’s time. When Merrill Hutchins stood up to tell us what he had been doing he told us of his last fight. He is now a professional boxer, as you must know. He also told us of his future plans, and whom he was expecting to fight in the near future. My time is running short, so I’ll have to sign off, but in closing I might add that it seemed like high school days again. We all hope you can come for the next reunion. Lawrence Leveillee is the new alumni presi- dent, and he will send announcements about next year’s plans. Sincerely, Ann Lister By Elaine Beveridge -29- 7 VALEDICTORY EDUCATION IS ALWAYS A VENTURE I have the honor of presenting a part of the valedictory address for the class of 1949. In a short period we shall behold ourselves as citizens of the world, candidates for all the honor and wealth that the admiring populace has to offer. We are glad to be finishing high school, yet we regret that we have to leave the scene of so many pleasant associations. We are grateful for having been born and reared in a country which does so much for the education of its youth. We are grateful that we are graduating at a time when much attention is being given to human welfare. We have studied many subjects in high school. A person may be studying a subject which seems to be just basic facts that are widely known, yet from these well-known facts his mind may travel along an entirely new line until he comes upon a new idea. Likewise, a person may train for a career in a particular kind of work and do the same thing, but while performing tasks aside from his regular work. New ideas and principles of great importance have come from the wan- derings of the human mind into the dark corners of knowledge. There was an artist who was famous for fine paintings, yet who became still more famous because of his interest in electricity. The artist was Samuel F. B. Morse. He studied and experimented with electricity just because he wanted to see what he could do with it. Today few people remember Morse as an artist, but all know him as the inventor of the telegraph. In 1843, the Congress of the United States made an appropriation to construct, from Washington to Batimore, a telegraph line based on the invention of Morse. The line was completed the next year and the now historic words, “What hath God wrought?” were sent over the line as the first public message. This important contribution to mod- ern civilization thus came from a person whose mind was taking a holiday from his usual working day. In another time another man was studying light rays and the different methods of pro- ducing them. Day after day he made experi- ments but one day he met with a great sur- prise. A photographic film had been lying around in his workshop enclosed in its light- proof wrappings. His great surprise came when he had occasion to use the film and develop it. When the film was developed, to his amazement there was superimposed upon the photographic plate a picture of what looked as if it might be the bones of a man’s hand. He immediately began trying to dis- cover how this very unusual thing had hap- pened. Something had obviously gone on while he was experimenting with light rays which he did not take into account. By carefully studying every detail he had apparently rested his hand on the package containing the pho- tographic film at a time when he was chang- ing the adjustment of his light-producing equipment. By going back through these steps he found he could again get the impres- sion of his hand photographed on the film showing the bony structures of his hand. No visible light rays were given off by the equip- ment when it was so adjusted as to have this effect. This man was William Conrad Roentgen, a German scientist. The scientist immediately began telling his friends about his discovery but he had no name for the new ray. As is characteristic of those who work in sciences and mathematics even today, the German scientist began re- ferring to his new discovery as the “X”-ray. By this name it has attained a place of major importance in modern medicine and many phases of modern industry. This is another of the many important developments which have come almost by accident. This is something which happens often in the common everyday processes of study. In our physics and chemistry labora- tories we work with well-known facts and principles. Those who are interested in these subjects may go on with their studies know- ing that they might possibly be surprisingly close to the discovery of something new and revolutionary. This principle of venture in education ap- plies to every subject which we study. It applies to every kind of work which people do. For the person who thinks while he works, there is the ever-present possibility that his own curiosity may lead his thoughts into a new corner of knowledge and that there he may make a discovery of far greater impor- tance than the work which led him in that general direction. Our high school has furnished the oppor- tunity for good basic training and we leave high school feeling that we are exceedingly fortunate. Our training makes possible a future of great interest and excitement. Let us seize the moment of awakened curiosity for the acquisition of knowledge and let us be ever mindful that “Knowledge is an Untold Treasure, and It Must be Ours.” Ann Lister. -34- FAREWELL TO THE CLASS OF 1949 Classmates: With the closing of this occasion tonight, we cease to exist as a high school class and it becomes my duty to say farewell. To the superintendent, principal, and faculty we turn first. You have been patient and under- standing. You have tried to develop our individual characteristics and to make us aware that education is always a venture. You have been friends as well as instructors. We thank you for your efforts in our behalf and we shall retain happy memories of our days in your classrooms. To our parents we say again and again that we are grateful for the school you have provided for us and we hope we can fulfill your fondest expectations. Schoolmates, carry on loyally and dili- gently. Do your best for yourselves and Winooski High. Classmates, our years together have been pleasant ones. We may say farewell, yet there is no farewell for us. We may go dif- ferent ways in life yet always we will be held together through bright days and dark ones by the memory of pleasant and inspiring association during these most important years of our lives. Let us be true to the best teach- ings of our Alma Mater. Elizabeth Leo - 35 - GREEN MOUNTAIN GIRLS' STATE AND BOYS' STATE Perhaps there are many students who have never heard of Girls’ State and Boys’ State. Each year two junior girls and two junior boys are chosen on the basis of honor, de- pendability, leadership and scholastic ability to represent their school. For one full week the boys and girls, as representatives of Vermont youth, are taught about government in an active manner. They elect their own governor, lieutenant governor and other state officials. At the end of the session two delegates are chosen to represent Vermont at Girls' Nation and Boys’ Nation in Washington, D. C. Last year Vermont was represented by Ann Lister. High schools throughout the state are rep- resented. The boys meet at Norwich Uni- versity in Northfield and the girls lodge at Vermont Junior College in Montpelier. This project is sponsored by the generosity of the American Legion and its Auxiliary. It proves itself a valuable experience by teaching the fundamentals of town and state government. Those in attendance benefited by this train- ing and in addition had a good time and made a host of new friends. It is our fondest wish that it can be con- tinued in order to insure a better government. Those who represented Winooski High School and the offices held are as follows: BOYS’ STATE Raymond Robear—Senator Lawrence Leveillee—County Senator. GIRLS’ STATE Ann Lister—Lieutenant Governor, Ver- mont Representative to Girls’ Nation Elizabeth Leo—Health Officer -36- SENIOR CLASS HIT PARADE-1949 Lorraine Allen.....

I, as class grumbler, am the official gripesman; I have gained the floor and shall hold it until I am finished. “I knew a man and his name was Horner, Who used to live in a Grumble Corner; Grumble Corner in Cross Patch Town And he never was seen without a frown.” He must have been in this school—but back to our personal gripes. Just ask any member of the class his pet peeve and he will tell you tests.” From the first day we started school until the last we are faced with tests, all varieties, sizes, and descriptions. We are given oral tests in the class to embarrass us and make us self-conscious before our fellow students. We are surprised with short quizzes, most generally the day after a ball game or on Mondays. We are given true- false questions to torment our waking hours, and essay tests to trap us into admitting we are wrong. At the end of the semester we are thrown into a complete psychopathic state by being threatened and then assaulted with a series of tests covering the entire semester in every subject. You teachers must think we are a bunch of unfeeling guinea pigs to com- pel us to endure this ordeal of tests year after year. No sooner have we closed our books for the semester than you hand out report cards which must be signed by our parents. It is bad enough to take these dull required courses, but to all at once force upon us a grade we are supposed to have earned, which we must show our parents, is very unfair. How do you determine our grades—draw straws or flip a coin? You parents are not so perfect either. I have a few words to say to you as you sit out there beaming with pride as though you had done it all, as though you were gradu- ating tonight. You can beam all right, you did not have to come to school day after day in all kinds of weather and put your very soul into every hour. All you needed to do was to get us a few clothes, some meals, and give us a little money. Lots of times that money was hard to get, too, and for all our effort and struggle to squeeze a few pennies you never threw in any extra. Most often you tried to bargain with us and keep us on near starvation rations. What was worse, you did not try to remember back to your school days. No, you more often insisted on an ac- count of our expenditures, just as if we were irresponsible children. While we are thinking of irresponsible children, why did you impose those ridiculous home curfews when we were out for the eve- ning? A man or woman of sixteen should know what time to go home. After all we are practically ready to go out into the world on our own, and if we do not learn to make decisions while in school, how will we get along after we graduate? Just look at us— we seniors all show the effects of overwork and overdiscipline. We should have learned enough about self-reliance to make wise de- cisions. You friends here will back me up, I am sure, when I say we are forced into many school activities. We are expected to be over- joyed with every project the school under- takes regardless of the time and work it in- volves. Every party, all school programs and plays we must attend or we are expected to explain our absence. Each class holds an election in which a few are elected and they proceed to run the class, or think they do. Chances are the teacher, who is class sponsor thinks up most of the ideas, and how does she know we are interested in them? Just try and get out of a class play. Whether we can act or not we must be there to stumble onto the stage at the wrong time or forget our big speech. Why not let those who want to be in the play do the acting? If we are not on -38- the stage we must be lurking around to move the furniture between acts or perform some other thankless job no one cares about. If we are not practicing for a play we are obliged to be playing basketball or whatever sport is in season. The school just cannot seem to get along without us. We are not such good players—the coach just likes to fill up the bench. If we aren't on the first team we are honored for our time spent in practices by spoiling and soiling our uniforms the last few minutes of play after the game is definitely won or lost. We will never get the “big head'' playing substitute position. But on to bigger fields of complaint. Can any one tell us why textbooks are so big and dull? It seems the more boring the course the larger the book, and the longer the assign- ments. Why couldn’t we have the books with shorter chapters and more illustrations? Why must we always have a couple of courses to spoil the year for us? Every high school student will agree with me, we all have one or two courses we are not the least bit in- terested in. No wonder our grades are poor. We also think school could be improved if the days were shortened an hour in the after- noon and started later in the morning. A four day school week would also be a big help if you parents could be considerate and let us sleep till noon the other days. The idea of calling us at eight o'clock or nine o’clock on Saturdays, especially if we were at a party Friday night, just does not seem fair. With all these problems weighing me down no wonder I can do nothing but grumble. Now I have said my piece. Shall I take it out and bury it deep in the ground? This was really all in fun; we would not want either school or our homes one bit different from the way we have always known them.

Cooperation of Mr. Lull, the School Board, Mr. Couture, the faculty and the students made it possible. Mr. Tatro, the janitor, worked hard with the boys to prepare the classroom for use. The walls were painted a light green and new book cases were set up. A long study table with chairs was put in the middle of the room for the convenience of the students. Under the supervision of Miss Garvey, the student librarians are kept busy with library permits.” The Library Club elected the following officers: Thomas Kane, a senior, president; Richard Guertin, another senior, vice-presi- dent; Stella Bergeron, a junior, secretary: and Una Brunelle, a junior, treasurer. The assistant librarians include: Richard Guertin, Thomas Kane, Una Brunelle, Stella Bergeron, Mary Brown. Albert Sweeney, Raymond Robear, Bernard Companion, Claire Gamelin, Ronald Langlais, Beverly Best and Barbara Gabbeitt. Many of the book cases filled with valu- able books were donated by Dr. A. S. C. Hill of Winooski and are fully appreciated and used daily. V e would like to thank Miss Garvey for donating her time to help make the library a success. -58- ONE ACT PLAY Winooski's entry in the State Drama Con- test this year is a rollicking comedy entitled By Special Request. The district contest was staged at Bellows Free Academy at Fair- fax with Winooski High. Burlington High, and B. F. A. competing for a try at the state finals. The scene of the play is the living room of the North residence in Allentown. Johnny North and his pal, Harold McMasters, are anxious to skip school to go swimming and the absence of both their mothers seems to give them an ideal set-up to get away with it. Johnny impersonates his mother and calls up the principal to tell him Johnny cannot attend school because of a high temperature of 108. Suspicious, as ever, the principal says he will send the school nurse right away, just as a matter of routine. To see the act through. Johnny dresses up as the mother and Harold has to play the patient. When the nurse ar- rives the two boys play their parts well until the nurse informs them that the sick boy has very slight hope of recovery and they take her at her word, break down and confess. The cast was as follows: Johnny North Harold McMasters Mrs. North Thelma North Miss Cunningham. R.N.

PRIOR The Study Hall was kept humming on Monday and Tuesday after school hours with rehearsals by the Glee Club. Most of the time was spent practicing All-State, Festival and Commencement numbers. Prof, had to drill us on our marching for the Vermont State Festival, in which we participated. There were forty-seven members this year, eight of which graduated. The club was mostly comprised of Freshman and Sopho- more students. At the individual concert in the Music Festival the selections were, “Where Willows Bend,” by Marjorie Elliat and an old Eng- lish Folk song, “Passing By,” by Purcell. In years past, the Glee Club has always re- ceived acclaim for its numbers rendered in the Music Festival by noted critics such as Dr. McConathy and Dr. Woodbury. This year was no different. New uniforms of white skirts and green sweaters with the Glee Club emblem were worn by the girls, while the boys dressed in a cappella gown. There were only six representatives for the Vermont State Chorus this year. Ann Lister, Lorraine Allen, Ruth Hutchins, Ruth La- mothe. all first sopranos, and only two boys, Paul St. Peter and William Tobin will take part in the wonderful All-State Chorus. The numbers for the All-State Chorus are: The Whiffenpoof Song Where Willows Bend O Lord Most Holy Tell Me Not of a Lovely Lass One Wrold Beauteous Morn Whist. Me Lanty............ Cherubin Song Scandalize My Name Echo Song Meade Minnigerode Marjorie Elliatt Cesar Franck Cecil Forsyth Geoffrey O’Hara . Edward German Roy S. Stoughton D. S. Bortniansky Arr. by Pichcr Orlando dil.asso Ann Lister was elected president of this year's club. Bette Niles was manager and worked a great deal to make all the coke-sell- ing at the games a success. A dance was put on earlier in the year. The annual banquet was held at Oak Ledge Manor. Every one enjoyed the social event and each member was presented with a club award for his cooperation in making the ban- quet a success. -60- CLASS OF 1948 Herbert Abair June Beaudoin Richard Boudreau Jeannette Boucher Joyce Boucher Henry Bouffard Claire Campbell Edward Companion Dorlene Dorey Paul Dufresne Fernande Faubert John Trono Dominic Vartuli Jeanine Favreau Gertrude Fournier Barbara Garrow Lorraine Granger Lawrence Handy Claire Hatin Leon Ignaszewski Joseph Lamartire Mary Merchant Francis Mongeon Theresa Myers Bernard L’Ecuyer Shirley Paquette Herman Poulin Barbara Provost Carl Provost John Provost Theresa Santerre Dorothy Stone Theresa St. Peter Ernest Vuley Rose Williams OFFICERS President.................

All wasn't rosy for the team as they dropped two close games to Cathedral by the margin of one and two points, and a close three point loss to Burlington during the regular season. The fact that the Millers dropped out of the Green Mountain League this year was a big factor in winning the tournament as the number of games was cut down to preserve strength for the final drive in the tournament. All during the year a big factor that had to be dealt with was to find a good starting combination. After many trial and error ses- sions by tournament time a fitting combina- tion was in working order. Captain Jerry Greene, Dick Sweeney, Bob Bouffard, Paul Lister, and Donald Lacharite made up the main power staff all season with very capable replacements being used frequently in the form of Paul Kane, Bill Arcand, Marcel Fre- geau. and Norman Bergeron. All eyes turn to big Dick Langlais to fill in for Jerry Greene on next season's team, in the center position. -65 - Jerry Greene led the team scoring with a total of 270 points. Greene captured the Northern League scoring title with a total of 152 points. In the first two tournament games Greene scored 41 points but was held down to but 8 in the final championship tilt by a classy St. Michael's team from Brattle- boro. In Greene’s four years of playing varsity ball he has scored a grand total of 705 points. Dick Sweeney followed in the scoring column with a total of 151 points for the season. Ten of these were in that final championship game. In the two years of varsity ball Sweeney has scored a total of 248 points. Individual honors went to Captain Jerry Greene who made a fine showing all year and especially in the tournament. Greene made the first team in the All-Northern League, the first team in the All-Tournament team along with Dick Sweeney, who also made the Tournament team and got honorable men- tion in the Northern League selections. A fine job was done from all sides of the picture from the managar to the coach in bringing home the first State Championship in the history of the Winooski basketball teams.

Twice downing Richford, Middlebury, and B. F. A. the Junior Millers had only the taste of single killings after this. They played a good brand of ball and had a great following among the student body. Some good prospects among the J-V’s will be wearing Varsity uniforms within the next year or two. The team's leading scorer was David Muir with 94 points. Next came Joe Caforio with a total of 79 points. The rest of the heavy scoring was divided between Provost, Le- febvre, Devarney, Devino, and Seymour. Al- though winning only eight games out of eighteen these young boys held up the honor of the school with their fine sportsmanship and all-round ability. Most of the team was composed from the ninth grade and lower in order to give the young boys more experience for the coming Varsity years. Eyes turn to Muir and Provost to come up with a twin scoring combination as found on all the past Miller teams. There is plenty of weight on the team but not much height, this is made up with the fact that most of Winooski’s past stars were towering in the 5 foot 5 mark. — 67 — WINOOSKI HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR VARSITY RECORD 1948 - 49 Player Games F.G.

The Varsity, now under the Athletic Association, managed to attend every game, at home and out of town, to give their whole- hearted support to the players. The girls practiced after school on Mon- days and Thursdays. Mary Brown and Helen Debarge were newcomers to the squad. Thelma Mercure. Mary Jane Arcand, Geneva Dashnow and Ann Lister were cheerleaders from last year’s team. The squad was captained by Ann Lister, who has been cheering for three years. The girls worked out new formations, which looked neat with their new uniforms. Some of the new cheers which went over well with the student body were: ‘'Locomotive, Up in the Air.” Say Team.” Fight Team, Fight, Captain, Center and “Yaa Team.” The Tag-Day and the Coronation Dance, which have gotten to be an annual affair, turned out to be very successful. The cheerleaders were able to end this year with a victory yell after the Millers captured the B-State Championship in Barre. Ann Lister ran off the floor for the last time as she will graduate in June. All the other varsity girls will be cheering the team to victory next year, along with Betty Lister. Theresa Julian, Mary Leveillee. Elaine Merchant and Anita Quintin, who took over the chores of J.V. cheering and did very nicely. All members of both squads feel that much of their success is due to Miss Garvey’s su- pervision and wholehearted interest. -69- J. V. CHEERLEADERS The junior varsity cheerleaders under the direction of Miss Katherine Garvey did a splendid job of cheering during the J. V. home games. The girls took on the uni- forms of the last year’s varsity squad, that of white skirts and green sweaters with the W emblem. Betty Lister and Theresa Julian were back for their starting positions along with Anita Quintin, Mary Leveillee and Elaine Merchant, newcomers. The girls helped the varsity squad with the dance and Tag Day. All will return next year. -70- BASEBALL 1948 The Millers ended the '48 baseball sea- son finding themselves notched in fourth place in the Northern League. Playing hard luck ball many times during the season they were unable to give hitting support to their pitching staff. Jerry Greene had the job of throwing drops and curves mainly on his back all season and came out with the standing of allowing only 42 earned runs in 56y:i innings for a 4-4 pitching record. Dick Sweeney pro- vided the only other big role with setting himself a record of only 6 earned runs in 22' s innings for a 1-1 pitching record. Big Dick Langlais (0-0), Dick Cadieux (0-1), and southpaw Paul Lister (0-0) rounded out the pitching staff and provided interesting pros- pects for next season as starters. The top hitting was done by Provost (.426), Greene (.305), and Cadieux (.300). Only seven men on the 20 man squad hit .200 or above, making weak support for the pitching staff. Of the ’48 team all will re- turn next season except Provost, Vuley, Pou- lin. Vartuli. Julian, and Companion. Even with this number leaving, baseball for the future still looks bright for the Millers be- cause of the large number of Freshmen and Sophomores who played in the Fall League being ready for Varsity Baseball competition next Spring. The summary of the '48 baseball season games: Winooski 20 — St. Mary's 4 The Millers’ first game was a home stand against St. Mary’s of St. Albans at Haw- thorne Field. The Millers gave up 6 hits, combined 17 hits behind Jerry Greene to gain the first win of the season. Greene’s wildness was evident at times during the game but the big guns of Provost and Vuley hitting home runs, and triples by Caforia and Julian, demolished any threat the Saints had in mind. The only other extra base hit was made by Greene who placed a sharp double through the leftfielder. The Millers left 10 men on base but were in no need of any more runs. Johnny Provost led the Millers at the plate with 3 for 6. Winooski 4 — Burlington 15 Winooski’s second home stand against the Seahorses on Hawthorne Field was very simi- lar to their first game with the only exception being the results coming out vice versa. The Millers could combine only 6 hits behind Greene while the Millers gave up 13 hits. Provost’s two bagger was the only big gun for the Green and White while Greene helped himself by getting 2 for 4 to lead the Millers at the plate. Again hitting power lacked as 1 1 Millers were left on base. Winooski 5 — Montpelier 2 The Millers’ third game was played away at the Solons’ Recreation Filed where the Millers collected only 6 hits and left 10 men on base but were victorious mainly because of Greene's superb pitching netting him 12 strikeouts for his best pitching performance of the season. Niquette’s double and Pro- -71 - vost’s triple shattered the Solons. Provost got 2 for 4 at the plate for the Mill City com- bine. Winooski 0 — Spaulding 4 Winooski's fourth game was a home stand at Hawthorne Field against the Crimson Tide of Barre. This game proved disastrous as the Spaulding butterfly” pitcher Sancibrian limited the Millers to 1 hit belted by Provost. Barre got only seven hits off Greene but it was enough to win as three of the seven hits totaled seven bases. Winooski 3 — Cathedral 3 The Millers’ fifth game played away at Roosevelt Park found the Little Indians scalping Dick Cadieux for 9 hits and limit- ing the Millers to 5 hits. The Millers fell apart at the seams in all departments as the game went on. Johnny Provost with 2 for 3 led the Millers and one of those two hits a hard hit double. Winooski 10 — Bellows Free 7 The Green and White’s sixth game was played away at Coote Field in St. Albans with Greene pitching himself a 7 hitter and getting 6 hit backing to bring home the vic- tory. The Bobwhites threatened many times during the game but were held off by scat- tered hits. Cadieux’s double was the Millers’ only extra base hit and Greene got 2 for 4 at the plate. Winooski 10 — St. Mary's 4 The Millers made it two straight in their seventh game by pounding out 10 hits to give Dick Sweeney a victory. The one way battle found Lister and Sweeney combining together for 11 strikeouts. Vartuli’s double was Winooski's only extra base hit and Pro- vost got 2 for 5 at the plate to lead the Millers. Winooski 6 — Burlington 24 A crashing end to a hope for a winning streak came in the Millers’ eighth game as Greene and Co. gave up 18 hits while being able to gain only 8. Provost and Cadieux got home runs. Greene and Provost got doubles, but still the Millers were beaten. Wild pitching and big holes in the infield gave way to the powerful Seahorses' bats while Provost got 2 for 5 for the Green and White. Winooski 2 — Cathedral 8 The Millers’ ninth game was at Hawthorne Field, a seven hit performance by Jerry Greene. The Millers left 10 men on base and got only 2 base knocks all day. Cadieux and Vartuli got the only hits for the Mill City team and once more lack of base hits proved the Millers’ downfall. Winooski 0 — Montpelier 7 The Millers’ tenth game at Hawthorne Field was a 7 hit affair with the Solons get- ting only 1 more hit than the Millers but bringing the winning run across the plate with it. Provost and Vartuli got doubles in vain for Sweeney. Provost led at the plate with 3 for 4. Winooski 15 — Bellows Free 11 The Millers’ final game of the season played at Hawthorne Field was a slam bang affair with the Millers getting 1 3 hits to give Jerry Greene the victory after he allowed the Bobwhites 12 hits. The Bobwhites left 15 men on base to 8 for the Millers which might have proven the difference in the game if they had been brought in with some timely hit- ting. The Millers’ big guns was 2 base hits by Cadieux and a 3 bagger for Greene. Ca- dieux had a perfect day at the plate with 4 for 4. WINOOSKI HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL RECORDS — 1948 Player Games AB. R.
