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-
