THE CARILLON PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF THE WINOOSKI HIGH SCHOOL In the ancient town of Bruges, In the quaint old Flemish city, 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 1950 VOLUME SIX WINOOSKI - VERMONT MARY JANE ARCAND UNA BRUNELLE Editor-in-Chief Business Manager Miss Winifred Anna May Stone, the daughter of Mrs. Edith R.

Bette Niles TESTAMENTUM CLASSIS To Whom It May Concern Now that the class of 1950 is about to leave this sphere of activity it devolves upon the members thereof to put their desks in order, set the classroom to rights, and make disposition of these treasures that must be left behind. Therefore, representing the class of 1950, I have prepared the following document. But right here, a word of explan- ation. A will made in proper form always stipulates, first of all: “After the payment of my just lawful debts.’’ Classmates, in- solvency threatens, for we are indebted to parents, to other members of our families, and to the Board of Education. Then there is our debt to Uncle Sam, who is “rich enough to send us all to school.’’ Our moun- tains of obligations would be a crushing load were it not that our future usefulness is the insurance policy which guarantees, this payment of cur “just and lawful debts.’’ So, to our creditors, we pledge our future service, loyalty and labor. To the class of 1951, we give, devise, and bequeath certain chattels and properties 4 to wit: “The use of Room 16 and its furnish- ings for one year. See that you take proper care of them, and hand them down to your successors in as good condition as you pred- ecessors have turned them over to you. This room has housed for the past year a vast amount of industry, ambition, honesty, help- fulness, courage and other class virtues. Cherish the class spirit we leave behind for in so doing you may hope to equal the fame of the class of 1950 and be the source of as much pride as we are to parents, friends, and teachers. Upon consultation it has been deter- mined that the rear right corner seat is the most desirable one, being most protected from the teacher’s eye in case a weary and famishing student desires a nap or lunch. A student given to such late retiring and arising that his sleep is curtailed and his breakfast abolished should make strenuous efforts to secure this strategic point, em- ploying such tactics as will not betray his eagerness to possess it. I will now mention the following person- al bequests. I, Mary Jane Arcand, leave to Joyce Shiner, My diet, as I have finished with it, long ago. I, Beverly Best, leave to Norman Poulin, my knack of making money selling hot dogs, part time. I, Mary Brown, leave to Paul Lister, my ability to swing without missing. I, Stella Bergeron, leave to Gerald Seymour, my efficient manner. I, Una Brunelle, leave to Colleen Dillon, my yen for little men. I, Richard Cadieux, leave to Shirley Fitzgerald, the art of disguising my hand- writing. I, Jacqueline Carpentier, leave to Aline Hatin, my skirts, so that she too, may have the new look. I, Helen Debarge, leave to Donald Ignaszewski, my name in exchange for his. I, Barbara Decarreau, leave to Mary Leveillee, my rust corduroy skirt, as its twin is graduating. I, Eleanor Garrow, leave to Theresa Julian, my athletic prowess and all that goes with it. I, Rodney Germain, leave to Norman Moquin, my intelligent look to be used in Chemistry class. I, Blanche Harris, leave to Betty Lister, my petiteness. I, Constance Jarvis, leave to William Daley, my yen for getting in early. I, Andre Leblanc, leave to William Arcand, the sparkplugs from my car. Try them on the Mercury. I, Richard Langlais, leave to Marion Sallah, my president’s chair to use as she sees fit. I, Margaret Leclair, leave to Jacqueline Bergeron, my sultry look, which aids me in securing my own way. I, Howard Vuley, leave to Audrey Provost, my books with no covers to pass the time pleasantly. I, Thelma Mercure, leave to William Gregorek, what every young boy dreams of, my personality. I, Hugh Fitzgerald, leave to Beverly Francis, my truck, to bring her to school on time. I, Geneva Dashnow, leave to Albert Sweeney, my passion for going out steady. I, Marcel Fregeau, leave to Elaine Merchant, my book on “How to Attain Perfect Rhythm While Walking.’’ I, Jeannine Gauthier, leave to Lorraine Limoge, my Colgate smile. I, Donald Germain, leave to Robert Rabidoux, my love for photography, and I, Donald Campbell, leave him my X-ray eyes in order that he may appreciate its possibilities. I, Jacqueline Sullivan, leave to Janet Bouffard, a pint of my Irish blood. I, Theresa St. Jacques, leave to Paul- ine Bergeron, my speed and accuracy in typing. I, Claire Gamelin, leave to Irene Charland, a year’s supply of crackling, crunching, munchy, chewing gum. I, Barbara Gabbeitt, leave to Anita Quintin, my distracting red shoes to match her hair. I, Ernest Granger, leave to Rita Landry, all the pleasures I have enjoyed during my Senior year. I, Norman Bergeron, leave to any class wishing to go on a field trip, my blacksmith’s shop, with the sign over the door reading, “Quiet please, cow sleeping.” I, Janet Chicoine, leave to the W.H.S. Glee Club, my lilting voice. I, Bernard Companion, leave to the future members of the W.H.S. basketball team, my green and grey sweat shirts. There are enough of them to outfit the whole team. I, Edwin Chrystowski, leave to any Junior driver, my obsession for locking bumpers. I, Robert Greenough, and I, Ernest Sejftnour, leave to the Junior Class, our bachelor days. I, Joseph Jacobs, leave to any young enterprising Junior, my grocery store and my Dutch accent. I, James Jenot, leave to the Junior boys, my discharge button, to be shared when needed. I, Paul Kane, leave to any small Junior girl, my record “Little Girl.” It was bought for a Sophomore, by the way. I, James Myers, leave to the gossip column of the Junior Journal, my “nose for news.” I, Kenneth Myers, leave to any Junior, my knack of slipping out of class to buy a popsicle. I, Robert Racine, leave to the entire school, the memory which enables me to bring my Report Card back on time. I, Richard Sweeney, leave to any stag boy in the Junior Class, my collection of beautiful women as my wife doesn’t approve of my hobby. I, Donald Lacharite, Mr. America of the class of “50” leave my breathtaking physique to any deserving Junior boy or girl. I, Bette Niles, leave to any needy student, my roadmap to Mr. Couture’s office and seven easy lessons on “ How to come out smiling.” To Mrs. Long, our class advisor, and to Mr. Couture, we leave the utmost affection and gratitude, and the fervent hope that the class of 1951 will strive to be as good a class as we have been. We hereby appoint the said class of 1951, executors erf our last will and testament, jointly with Mrs. Long and Mr. Couture, and the Honorable Board of Education. Signed The Class of 1950 Bette Niles HISTORIA CLASSIS A Page From History The story of our life reads like a thrilling tale of a western movie, or a story in a true story magazine. The brave deeds and great accomplishments we have failed to record in this brief narrative would fill all the inooski High School library. We have omitted many of these facts for the benefit of those English students who dislike reference work, and out of respect for the wishes of the history students who dislike the idea of remembering dates. Before continuing with the main plot, we shall tell some of the things we have done. We have not endorsed any toothpaste advertisements. We have not written any best-seller novels. We have not yet achieved stardom in the talkies. We have not invented a way for students to get high grades without working, although we have figured out a method that works fairly well under certain c ircum stances. Before you begin to think this is a game of “Guess Who,” we shall get into the plot proper of this story. We first started on our road to fame as youngsters only six years of age. Our first lessons in reading, writing, and arithmetic were taken under the direction and supervision of Miss Ella O’Brien, who showed us how to make a, b, and c; she taught us how to count from one to ten, and many other interesting things. There were thirty six-year-old youngsters in our first grade. One fine day we found ourselves in front of a great big door that said, “Second graders admitted here.” In we went, and by the time we had seen all there was to see and had learned all there was to know, we found ourselves in Room 3. We played around for several months in Room 3 with Mrs. Hardacre, who proved to be a fine playmate and who knew just lots and lots about numbers and reading. And while we associated with her, we learned much about them too. Time passed. We were growing fast, and that’s the reason we made the fourth grade with flying colors and came to the portals of a great castle called the Castle of the Knight of Know- ledge on Highway Number Five. We liked this castle so well that the Knight invited us to remain as his guests for several months, which we did. While there, we learned much about how to put letters together to make words, in a game called “Spelling.” This was a fascinating game. However, we ran out of words after playing several games. One day we were touring and came to a sign which said, “You are now half- way between here and there.” There were twenty-five of us in the touring party. We all wondered what the sign m eant until one of the boys said it meant that we had reached the end of the Sixth Mile Post on the Highway of Education. The group disbanded at this point and decided to meet at the end of the summer to start out on another tour. The meeting place decided upon was at “Seventh Grade Inn.” You can know it was a happy bunch who met there the first Mond.iy in September, a bright sunny morning for a long, long journey. Some didn’t like it and left the group before the trip was over. Well, you may think this is a “travelog” instead of an autobiography; but you see we all traveled so much that an account of the travel is a story about our lives. If you think it didn’t take some traveling to get from Grad? One through Grade Eight, then you do not know anything about the highway patrol system of the teachers who make their headquarters at Winooski High School. By the time we had arrived at the age of fourteen or thereabouts, we realized that we were growing up. We decided to stop running around with grade school youngsters and take up our residence at Freshmen Inn. The Freshman year was much different from grade school. There were not so many subjects to study, but they were much harder. There was one subject that was the queerest thing. If you didn’t know what it was about, you just said, “Let X be it.” Then finally you knew what the answer was, even though you did not know what it was all about. Then there was a subject they called history. It was all about dates, only not the kind you eat. At the beginning of this year we elected the following officers: President: Gerald Blanchard Vice-President: Mary Brown Secretary: Leonard Whittle Treasurer: Thelma Mercure The days passed by very quickly and before we realized it, June had arrived and we were taking our final examinations. We were not as “green” as we were in September; we had grown up. When we took the sophomore throne, there were twenty girls and twenty-two boys in our happy band. What a record we made! What grades we captured! What traditions we upset! It was here that we accomplished our first brave deed upon which our lasting fame may rest. We discovered a method of being able to get through classes without the use of textbooks. We dis- covered a method that had never before been used by students. We learned how to bluff, or at least we thought we were bluffing until the faculty dished out the grade cards. After that we revised our plan and decided perhaps a little study would be beneficial to the future appear- ance of our grade cards. Our class officers during this year were: President: Richard Langlais Vice-President: Howard Vuley Treasurer: Thelma Mercure Secretary: Mary Brown Someone said something about nothing being “so rare as a day in June.’ ’ But let us tell you that there’s no grand and glorious feeling like the one we had the day we became juniors. Of all the classes in the school----this is the favored class. You see, the seniors are afraid of them, because if the seniors mistreat the juniors, they may not get any banquet. The sophomores are afraid of the Juniors because they hope that they may get a chance to get the crumbs left from the banquet. The Freshmen just don’t know any better than to like the Juniors. The faculty, of course, likes all the classes and that includes the Juniors. So the Junior Class is the most popular class in any high school. The records of history cannot produce a finer class than ours was while we were Juniors. Our class officers during this year were: President: Richard Langlais Vice-President: Howard Vuley Secretary: Mary Jane Arcand Treasurer: Thelma Mercure Class rings were chosen, and we took a class trip to New York State. Our banquet at the Country Club was our outstanding social event. While we were Juniors, we began to realize that not only are Seniors important, but they have many things to measure up to. We learned that appli- cation to hard work and ability to follow directions are necessary if any Senior is to arrive at the day of graduation, qualified to wear the cap and gown of the class. Never will the high school get through talking about our class during our senior year. It seems that we have stood at the head of the classes when it came to putting on the “gold trimmings” to make the student body of the high school outstanding of all the high schools around here. It is just too bad that we had to be Seniors and about ready to leave our school before anyone really began to appreciate us as Seniors should be appreciated. Our Senior Play, “Peck’s Bad Boy,” was a success financially and socially. Our class officers during this year were: President: Richard Langlais Vice-President: Helen Debarge Secretary: Thelma Mercure Treasurer: Andrew Leblanc In November of this year, we selected our invitations, name cards, class colors, and we chose for our class motto, “Thus Endeth Our First Lesson.” Mrs. Long was our class advisor during this year, and we wish to express our thanks to her and to all the other teachers for their kind help and under- standing during our four years in high school. The Seniors have done their best this year to make our school one of the best in every way. The years we have spent in Winooski High School will be remembered always, and will form a treasured chapter in our Book of M emories. Stella Bergeron AUGURIUM CLASSES The members of the class of 1950 have been very much interested in psychology and many of such awe-inspiring phases of the subject as psychoanalysis and psychiatry. Naturally they got all wrought up about their repressions and complexes, defense mechanisms and rationali- zations. When the world renowned psychiatrist Professor Abdullah Freudsen Brilling, came to town and opened a consulting room for the mentally unfit and intel- lectually unsettled, all these earnest students were eager to meet him. He was a busy man and his fee was high so the class of 1950 elected me to visit him and report to them. I shall never forget that visit. As I was being psychoanalyzed I fell into a trance and unfolded to him my future rather than my past. And behold my sub-con- scious mind brought to the surface that in ten years hence, I, too, would be a psy- chiatrist and my patients would be my classmates. My classmates would not come as patients but as friends attending a party, honoring my research on the Oedipus complex. As shadows from the past the group came in, one by one. My first vision revealed to me that the noted playboy Richard Cadieux had eloped with Mae Ruby, the burlesque queen. The couple was later traced honeymooning in Venice. Then I saw Paul Kane, M.G.M.’s recent discovery starring in “Must Morning Come”. His leading lady was the beautiful Mary Brown, who made her first appear- ance. Rehearsals began at noon. The room suddenly filled with smoke; then I noticed that everyone was smoking cigars. Passing them around was no other than Richard Sweeney, the proud father of quintuplets. Music was coming from all directions. Seated at the piano was the popular pianist, Theresa St. Jacques. This was her last performance at Carnegie Hall. She was leaving her career to take her final vows at St Monica’s Convent. For her selections, she played La Belle Vie and “Alley Plus Vite or “Faster” written by the noted composer Jacqueline Sullivan. Suddenly hearing loud speaking voices, immediately I recognized one to be that of Eleanor Garrow who had recently received an appointment from General Eisenhower. She was to be head of the language depart- ment at Columbia University. The other voice was that of Mary Jane Arcand, BS., AD.,MS.,PHD., DDS., FOB., SOS. Dean of Onion College for women. She is an educator of note, also author of the best seller “What Isn’t Wrong With Education.’’ Things quieted down for a second and it seemed as though I could hear a cow talk. Yes, indeed, it was Norman Bergeron’s cow “Bessie . Norm had recently taken over Borden’s County Fair Program on CBS, with his famous cow Bessie as the feature attraction. A typist was making unusual time. Seated at a desk was the President’s secre- tary, Clair Gamelin, who holds the world typing speed record. The room cleared for a while and then men were dragging in cameras, lights and all sorts of equipment. It was a fashion show of Power’s exciting new models. Connie Jarvis and Bette Niles were modeling gloves. The pictures were being taken by the young successful photog- rapher Donald Germain. Mr. Germain be- lorgs to the Film Fanatic Club or popularly known as “The Fade Out and Close Up Society”. A grumbling sound was then heard. It was Senator Donald Campbell, the in- cessant filibuster; delaying legislation on Bill Sv6 33. I could hear shooting in the distance. It was a raid on the famous Roadside Gambling House operated by James Myers. A loud applause filled the room as the young Scientist Ernest Granger was chosen out erf 700 students to be Einstein’s assis- ant. Seated in the audience was Bernard Companion who recently invented a new silent alarm clock. Next I heard a crashing sound. Andrew Leblanc has wrecked five of the Vermont Transit Buses in the past year. One of the injured passengers was the distinguished Lecturer, Edwin Chrystowski. I could see a house being built by a young ambitious couple, they were Marcel Fregeau and his devoted wife Geneva Dashnow Fregeau. This time my vision was a bit misty but I could see a racing track and awards were being given to the winner of the Brown Derby. The owner turned out to be Hugh Fitzgerald. The smell of ether soon let me know that I was seeing a hospital. In this hospital two excellent nurses, Jacqueline Carpenter and Barbara Gabbeitt, were ad- ministering shock treatments to advanced cases. Straight-jackets were being re- moved from a few. The building suddenly started to shake and I was slightly worried until I saw Donald Lacharite. He had just finished a new underground passage across the Atlantic Ocean. Donald has been decorated by five countries already for this engineer- ing feat which is considered the greatest ever undertaken by civilized man. Tall, light and handsome Rear Admiral James Jenot stood before me. He is a naval officer and target shooting expert who has received a promotion from the only woman Admiral in the U.S. Navy, Blanche Harris. An argument was the next thing that drew my attention. It was Rodney Germain and Robert Greenough arguing, over who wrote the worse book. Rodney’s book en- titled ‘ ‘How to Stay Away From Women and be Happy” and Robert’s “The Sociological Changes From Adolescence to Adulthood”. They were both selected for writing two of the six worst sellers up to date. Ernest Seymour veteran of equator crossings, and real estate salesman was selling Florida lots by the gross to in- habitants of Laborador, and igloos to the dwellers in the Sahara. In his spare time E rnest writes eloquent speeches for politicians. Bells began to ring merrily. It was the double weddings of Stella Bergeron and Governor Erie Wetheral and Helen Debarge and Colonel Leon Ignazewski. They were the most colorful wedding ceremonies ever to take place in Winooski, and the pastor was Rev. Robert Racine. A strong odor of food was prevelant in the room. It was Joseph Jacobs, owner and manager of a huge chain of restaurants known all over the world as the Eat and Run Restaurants. Joseph was eating a hamburg at “Mamma De Carreau’s” his former classmate Barbara now his feared rival. All the visions disappeared and a static noise filled the room. Thelma Mercure’s famous lecture on home making was being given over WZZZ. She was telling how to build a front porch out of packing boxes, and how to feed ten people seven days a week on twenty-three cents apiece. A huge ball was being given in honor of Vermont’s first Woman Governor, Jeannine Gauthier. The ball was planned by Vermont’s leading hostess Margaret Leclair. Young men began to walk back and forth until I noticed one who was con- spiciously dressed. I looked again and I recognized Howard Vuley now a professor at U.V.M. He was wearing his pants three inches higher than he did when he was in High School, showing his flashy orange stockings. Campus boys all over the country imitated his style until Life Magazine felt it necessary to publish this new fad. Then I noticed Kenneth Myers ordering a group of Arabians around. Ken was no doubt the owner of the Myers Oil Field in Arabia. He is known as the “Sheik of Araby”. Later however a crooner’s voice was heard. I felt faint until I got a close look. It was Richard Langlais singing in a dreamy, soothing voice “Thelma is the Face in the Misty Light”. In a fair corner of Dreamland Janet Chicoine was seranading her future husband Dale Dorey, son of the popular Ray Dorey. Romance began when Janet first sang “I’m in the Mood for Love”. My Visions were becoming fainter and fainter. I was now in Russia. I must have arrived there just in time to meet the “Queen Mary of the Skies”. Then to my amazement I saw Beverly Best, the famous foreign correspondent. Reporters flocked around her to inquire why she had come to Russia. She told them very bluntly t hat she had always wanted to find out what color the Iron Curtain really was. She had brought some of Howard Johnson’s ice cream to Mr. Stalin. As my last visions faded into the distance, I felt a sudden jar. Awakening, the room didn’t turn out to be the party room but Professor Brilling’s office and ten nurses were standing around me. Then Professor Brilling said that I had the ability of becoming a psychiatrist but what I needed was a cold shower and to ‘ ‘trip the light fantastic”. With his words of encouragement, I- bid adieux to the class of 1950. “This prophecy may come to pass” is the warn- ing of your prophet, Una Brunelle.

SALUTATORY TO YOUTH A CHALLENGE There has always been much ani- mated discussion as to which are the most expressive words in our copious and ex- uberant English language and there are few words which have been voted the dear- est and best of all, but there is no dearer word to me than the one which I have been sent to speak to you, the old Saxon word “Welcome . On behalf of the graduating class of 1950, I am happy to welcome all of you who have gathered here this evening for our commencement. This is the most important single event in our lives up to now and a major turning point. When we entered high school as freshmen, we all knew exactly where we were going and what we would be doing for the next four years until we finally arrived at that remote time of graduation. Our lives were set up on a definite schedule. Each year we returned to our classes in September and for the next nine months followed mainly the same plan of living and sharing of common interests. Al- though we have spent only about six hours each day in classes, the school has been the core of our lives. We have felt fierce allegiance to our school during all athletic contests. Every student has felt a thrill of pride whenever we have been at the head of the league in basketball or in baseball. We have all been proud each time a fellow student has received an honor. During these four years every one of us has thought of himself first of all as a part of this school. Suddenly, however, we are leaving this all behind--the unity, the guidance of our teachers, the school fun. Each of us now becomes a separate individual looking forward to his own future. What will be the place each of us will take in the world? Realizing the seriousness of the world affairs and the need for strong leaders and responsible citizens we are grateful to you, our parents and teachers, for the foundation you have provided for us in our high school life. We hope to show in time that our high school work has pre- pared us to take part in the progress of civilization and the never ending quest for peace. The members of our senior class have reached a goal in o r educational career in this community a id as we stand on the threshold of graduation from this high school where yesterdays already hold for us many pleasant memories, we face a challenging world. From the days of the past, great long shadows of yesterday are still visible to us. These lengthened shadows remind us of the centuries gone by; the accomplish- ments of men and women who lived in those centuries; the problems with which they were confronted; their hopes and ambitions; their trials and failures; their indomnitable will to overcome their ob- stacles; their progress toward a better state of society. And as the members of the class appear before you this evening we are not unmindful of the shadows of more recent yesterdays. These shadows remind us of the efforts of you, our parents, our friends, and the patrons of this school district, and your courage and perserverance to give this community a strong education system. We are reminded that even as the gener- ations of people of the countless centuries of the past had within their hearts a some- thing that made them ever work unceas- ingly for the benefit of humankind, so you too, of this generation keep before you the goal of a better world for all, the minds of men seek the future in every generation. Why sit we here this evening in peace- ful assemblage without fear? To fully answer that question it would be necessary to throw upon a screen a picture depicting the whole story of civilization. For the privileges and the freedoms which we today enjoy are the results of die efforts of brave men and women who believed in the principles of freedom for the individual and the group. The state of society we today enjoy represents the life blood of men and women who were willing to fight--yes, even die--for the rights and the privileges we all enjoy today. This march of humanity along the great long journey of the centuries has been no easy pilgrimage. The way was beset with pirates and highwaymen in ambush, who often swept down upon the pilgrims in their travels; ravaged and stole, killed and maimed. Disease and pestilence de- scended upon the travelers; there was want and famine. Even the travelers; flood, cold, heat, and drought besieged mankind. In the yesterdays there were dis- believers and scoffers; there were those who impeded progress. There were those who ridiculed progress in science; progress in navigation; progress in transportation; progress in communication; progress in trade, commerce, and intercourse between tribes, nations, and countries. We know that we are the descendants of men and women who traveled a long long way along that road of civilization down to the day in which we live. In this year 1950, we are halfway through this century. The last half of the century is ours to plan and to run. Each day we face world shaking changes. The great- est jolt up to now we received five years ago, on August 6, 1945, when the President announced that an atomic bomb had been dropped on Japan. Even now it is difficult to realize the appalling nature of that news. With the bomb arrived the atomic era—the deadliest threat the human race has ever faced. Already its potential descendant the hydrogen bomb is multiplying that threat a thousandfold. We face both great dangers and great opportunities. In 1900, the Amer- icans lived placidly and happy and any great disturbance was unthinkable. During the past fifty years four empires have crashed to their ends--Austria, Ger- many, Russia, and Japan. Amid a world falling to pieces around us, America has emerged whole and stronger than ever. What changes confront us? First, and foremost, a new frontier, We are citizens of the world as well as Americans. It will not be sufficient for us to plan the future of our country. By reason of the might of our country, we face the grave task of leading the world--or trying to lead it. This is our new frontier and it is a vast one. Unless we Americans maintain our economic leadership, we cannot possibly aid the world to become a better place to live in. Wendell Wilkie said, “Only the productive can be strong, only the strong can be free.” We face the task of achieving welfare for all without destroying our own freedom. Unless we can solve our own domestic problems, we can not furnish an example to the rest of the world. When Communism--which is to say totalitarianism--is halted it will be through the success of our American way of life, by demonstrating that democracy can continue to lead the world in every field of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. There is in the books an ancient proverb ascribed to King Alfred. It reads: “If thou hast a woe tell it not to the weak- ling. Tell it to thy saddle bow and ride singing forth.1’ We ride forth to our new frontier. We well carry with us the con- frontier. We well carry with us the con- fidence and hopes of a country that has never weakened under trial. And as we graduate from this high school, we are thankful that the shadows of yesterday bring to us a reminder of the ages of the past. These reminders of yes- terday impress upon us that we, the members of this senior class, have a task to perform as we too journey along the highway of civilization. We are reminded that we must keep before us worthy goals; that we must not be discouraged by the trials which come to us; that within each of us is a strength and a will to carry us over the rough places we shall travel, as we strive to meet the challenge of our day. As we graduate from high school, we pledge our best efforts to go forth as true citizens in a nation of free men, to work for a world of tomorrow--a world which we believe will hold out to the youth of tomorrow great challenges lor a great work, even as the world today does for us.

Long Accompanist Qfce Ctujj It was just ten years ago that W.H.S. inaugurated a Glee Club under the direction of Prof. LaFayette L. Saucier, with the very able assistance of Frances T. Long as its accompanist. In 1941, for the first time, the choral group represented its school at the annual Vermont festival. The members in their new green and white uniforms made a pretty picture at the Festival Parade in Burlington, marching along with other schools of Vermont. Seven girls were chosen from Winooski High to represent their school in the All-State Choral Group, made up of glee club members with special ability from all over the state. The first All-State group to represent Winooski High School were: Gloria Bashaw (now Mrs. Donald Humphrey), Virginia Hill (now Mrs. Roland LaPointe), Florence Laferriere, Cora Mero, Rita Villemaire, Claire Blondin and Jane Horton (now Mrs. Robert Blondin). During its ten years of existence, the Glee Club has furnished many notable sing- ers to the All-State Chorus, to name a few besides the first group ever to represent Winooski, Paul and Theresa St. Peter, Claire Hahn, June Beaudoin, Marian Sallah. The Club was inactive during the war years, as its director Prof. Saucier left to serve his country in Africa, Italy and France. After his return, and upon his reentering his teaching duties at W.H.S., the Club was reactivated. Never will that especial group forget the “Ave Maria” sung by its members at the Vermont Music Festival, and the ovation rendered by the critic Enos Held at the 1946 Music Festival. W.H.S. Glee Club received ratings from the following international critics for their participation at various Music Fes- tivals: Mr. McConathy, Dr. Woodbury (Present director of Vermont Music All- State Chorus), Gladys Pitcher of Boston, noted woman critic, Enos Held, Dr. Cooper of Canada and other noted critics. All of these ratings brought credit to Winooski High School and to Prof. Saucier, director and founder of the club, and to Mrs. Frances T. Long. During its ten years of activities, the Glee Club have had Ministrel Shows, pro- duced and directed by F rof. Saucier and Mrs. Long, Concerts here and off campus, participated in the Vermont Festivals, at Commencements of W.H.S. made recordings and have participated in the liturgical music of Midnight Masses, and other special services at St. Stephen’s Parish, Winooski religious groups at the procession in Burlington in honor of ‘‘Our Lady of Fatima”. The club always enjoys its festivals and annual banquets. Awards have been given various members-banquets have been held at Sunny Hollow, Hotel Vermont, Oak Ledge Manor, Happy Acres and other famous {laces in Burlington and vicinity, trips have been taken to Ice Capades in Montreal. The Club members believe in mixing honest hard work with pleasure. The W.H.S. Glee Club has always furnished their own uniforms, paid for their own banquets, and all of their highly successful activities have been financially sponsored by their own members without any financial assistance from any organ- ization. They have always been self- sustaining. Besides caring for their own finan- cial activities, they have contributed several hundreds of dollars toward the P.T.A. equipment, donated some funds toward athletics, $25.00 toward the new Home Economics stove, paid over $300.00 for a cappella gowns out of its own treasury. This year’s activities comprised the selling of W.H.S. beanies to the girls of W.H.S. to raise funds toward the pur- chase of a much-needed piano for the High School. It obtained the rest of the funds for the piano by selling coca-colas at a few basketball games. Besides these activities, the Glee Club put on a recording of Christmas Carols to the High School student body at an assembly. The club will again participate in its major activity----the Vermont Music Festival. The numbers they will sing at the individual glee club concerts in Burlington will be: “Chimes of Spring” - Paul Lincke “Where Willows Bend” - Elliott These same numbers will be ren- dered at the W.H.S. Commencement in June. The all-state representatives for 1950 will be: Claire Gamelin, Stella Bergeron, Beverly Best, Helen Debarge, Alternates will be: Aline Hatin, Barbara Gabbeitt, Marian Sallah and Mary Frances Leveillee. The all-state selections for 1950 music festival are as follows: 1- Battle Hymn of the Republic Howe -Steffe 2- The Lost Chord Sullivan 3- Let Thy Holy Presence Tschesnokoff 4- Russian Picnic Enders -Traditional 5- Cindy Traditional 6- The Little Dustman Saan 7- The Arkansas Traveller American Glee Club Officers are: President-Beverly Best Secretary-Aline Hatin Librarians-Joanne Thompson Margeret Billups Accompanist-Mrs. Frances T. Long Director-Prof. LaFayette L. Saucier. The scene of the play takes place in the Reverend Loring Rigley’s home in Youngstown, Ohio. His wife, Mary Rigley, has just received a telegram from her brother Joe, stating that an old schoolmate, Eugene Tesh, now an actor, is going to drop in to see her before his evening performance. Mr. Tesh, while visiting Mary, learns that Mary’s husband, Mr. Rigley, is totally against the theatre. Mr. Tesh proves the theatre is just a different branch of the same professions as the Church. He does this by flattering Mr. Rigley into thinking he looks like an actor, and Mrs. Zooker, a loyal church worker, into thinking she is a great artist. Mrs. Zooker tides to show her talent by displaying her daughter, Lena, whom she believes has all her mother’s talent. Lena shows her talent by giving a speech. All through the speech, her mother, Mrs. Zooker, carries on a telephone conversation with someone who has the wrong number. In the middle of her speech Lena forgets her lines. Mr. Rigley takes on where Lena leaves off and takes over the whole show. While all this was going on, Mr. Tesh has quite a trying time from laughing, but before Mr. Tesh leaves, he has totally put across the idea that the theatre is a place to relax and let your mind wander, and he proves this by overcoming all of them with a few flattering words.

Thus, in the traditional sense, the members of this year’s senior class of the Winooski High School are entering a new world. How are we to meet the challenge of the day at hand—a day when the energies of leaders and followers must be devoted to solving the problems of the air age and the atomic age? That is the question which presents itself to us as we graduate from high school. We know that the charter of the United Nations presents the program for the work ahead; but how are we to accom- plish this great task, and bring into reality the ideal held forth? In every plan we must remember that the welfare of the people must be the first consideration. We must share our standard of living with the whole world, for it is undisputed that the United States has enjoyed a better standard of living than any other country. Believing as we do in democracy, it is interesting to note that our poorest fed, our worst housed, and our scantily clad live in greater splendor than did the monarchs of old! What monarch of the ancient day could walk along an electrically lighted street, or spend an hour in a public library or buy a five cent news- paper, or listen to a radio program? What a world Alexander missed when he sat down after all his victories and cried because there were no more worlds to conquer! A world of want and fear is waiting to be conquered. We must conquer those ele- ments in the world which prevent the millions in India and China from enjoying the benefits of democracy as we have known them. We must conquer those elements in the world which seek to nurture such ideas as brought on the crime wave against humanity which the dictators directed. We must conquer those elements in the world which cause sister nations to distrust their neighbors. We must prepare the soil of thought in all the countries so that the fruit of national life will bear fruits with an international flavor. We must bring to people, every- where the idealism of America, and the realism it seeks to promote for adequate living for all the people. Whose responsibilities is it to see that American idealism is known and under- stood in the new world order? It is your responsibility of every member of this class. Unless we believe in our ideals, unless we so live that they can survive and reach the other nations, unless we dedicate our lives to building a better world, that better world will never be. The world still seeks to be free. The world still cries for justice and right. The world still demands that its citizens have the right to be free from fear, free from want, free from oppression. So long as the needs of the people exist, we have a challenge to meet. Our only answer is to resolve that we serve in our generation and era to the best of our abilities. And always we must prepare that government, science and invention, all world activity, must add to the sum total of human happi- ness for all the people—for there is nothing that matters except in terms of the people. We, who live in this country, where all citizens of a certain recognized and established age are privileged to vote, little realize the value of the heritage, namely our right to a voice in the affairs of govern- ment. Because we take this right so for granted, we are liable to grow neglectful of this heritage which is ours. I am sure that no member of this senior class would desire to live in a country which had a form of government which did not have as its aim the general welfare of all the citizens. Think what a narrow existence we would have, if we knew when we walk out of the door of this auditorium tonight that someone had already mapped out every day of our future--and that regardless of what we might chose to do, we would be driven to do what some official of government had chosen for us. There is only one way in which we can preserve this form of government and keep it effective and workable for us. It derives its consent from the governed. Each one of us must assume our obliga- tion toward the government. We can put efficient people into office to make our laws and to execute those laws if we do desire. But what have we grown into the habit of doing? We let some group put some person up to run for office. We fail to attend conventions and vote in primaries. We sleep on our rights. If this government ever fails, it will be because the people failed the government and not because the government failed the people. We are res- ponsible for our government. When there was given us the right to express our will in our government, there was given to us a voice in government. Only as we raise that voice by the vote of the people, can we hope to be heard. Take from the citizen his right to vote and what have we left? We hear a lot about freedom of speech, freedom of the right to worship, freedom to assemble, freedom of the press. What keeps these freedoms sacred for us ? Only the people can do that. Let us lose the right to vote by our indifference, by our carelessness and we shall lose our government and our individual freedoms. Let us be on guard and preserve our heritage. A study of the history of civilization results in a sad awareness that all efforts to establish a lasting peace on each have repeatedly ended in a failure. For several thousand years great ideas have proclaimed ideals for peaceful human relations. They have taught justice and love and brother- hood. No one, as yet, has succeeded in transforming certain ideals into practical patterns for permanent peace. How can we meet the challenge of the new day ahead? Work as hard as we can. Practice the time tested principles of honesty, of dependability, of reliability; do the best we can with our talents--that is all that is asked of us, that is all that is expected of any of us. Always as we work we should keep the ideal before us for a better world. That is the ideal which will build year after year, generation, after generation, and century after century, a world of which men through the ages have dreamed. Should we get discouraged, let us read from the pages of the past and take renewed courage from the examples of the eminent leaders who never gave up in the darkest hours but kept steadfastly their faith in the ideal of a better world. That is the spirit which have given us the torch of liberty which burns eternally for those who have in their veins the blood of patriots of a former generation who made sacrifices that we today might live in a better world. And so we go forth to meet the chall- enge—believing in ideals of liberty and free- dom for all the people--believing there is a better day ahead. Fellow members of the class of 1950: At last we have arrived at the goal which four years ago seemed so immeasur- ably distant. I wonder if we do not feel a little ignorant and just a trifle frightened. At this time, we have reason for such feelings. We entered here, assured of kindly, expert guidance. We leave to enter the vast school of experience in the workaday world, with no guide but our own intelligence, and no teacher except the experience we are about to acquire.- May we fare as well in the future as we have fared during hon high school years! Having shared one another’s joys and sorrows, successes and failures for so long, it is hard to say goodbye. Let us keep happy memories of our years together, of the ideals toward the realization of which we aspire, and of our high school, of whose noble teachings we would prove worthy. In triumph and failure, wealth or poverty, sickness or health, the bright recollection of the class of 1950 will never fade. In our hearts, we shall not be divided. To the members of the Board of Education: On behalf of the class of 1950, I extend our heartfelt thanks for the educational privileges you have made it possible for us to enjoy. You have enabled us to begin the acquisition of what Aristotle called “an ornament in prosperity, and a refuge in ad- versity”--an education. Superintendent Lull, Principal Couture, and Members of the Faculty: We say goodbye with sincere regret. We thank you for your efforts in our behalf. You have guided our intellectual growth and fitted us for the duties of our vocations and the activities of citizenship. There is no reward that can adequately compensate teachers for the good they do, but we hope that the grateful thanks of their students may in a light measure show appreciation and understanding. May our future be such as to, fleet credit upon our home, our school, and our country. May we, as the years go by, pledge our faith anew, And when June returns, send our thoughts across the world to you, Wherever we are.

This year of 1950 certainly should be somewhat different. Just try to sit and visualize, those of you who were fortunate enough to see the team in action, the wonderful and almost unbelievable record of wins and losses compiled by this year’s aggregation of well-balanced teamwork and sportsmanship. The team ended up in second place in the fast-moving Northern League, and accumulated the amazing total of 14 wins and but 4 losses. Counting the first tournament game, in which the hard-luck Millers fell by the wayside by a mere 2 points, the quintet lost only 5 games all season. Probably what the team and its many followers in the student body here in the High School consider as the greatest moments of this or any school year to date, came about when the Milltown cagers put on a brilliant dis- play of basketball prowess in downing the much larger Burlington and Cathedral quintets, not twice but four times. This has never been accomplished by any other team in the school’s history. We believe strongly in the old adage, “Give credit where credit is due.” Believe me, here is certainly the place for a few posies to be handed out. This year’s contingent was made up of two Seniors, two Juniors, and a lone Sophomore. These boys carried the brunt of the attack to their opponents in a very convincing manner. They are as follows: Captain Donald Lacharite, the team’s defensive ace and all-around playmaker; Dick Sweeney, who acted as a motor, generating the power to pull through the tough schedule in which they emerged on the winning side of the ledger; Paul Lister, the team’s official speed demon and high-spirited forward; Bill Arcand, perhaps the snappiest ball-handler of the club, possessing much deceptiveness and natural basketball ability; and last of the first five, but by far not the least, sophomore ace Bob Bouffard, who is considered by many as being the best all-around hustler, fighter and sports- man to play for Winooski High in quite some time. Those boys who played the very important reserve roles this year number seven, to be exact, and they are as follows: Marcel Fregeau, who was sixth man and who could be counted on to bolster the Miller attack, Norman Bergeron, Paul Kane, Dick Langlais, Allan Provost, David Muir and Donald Lefebvre. Six of the nine varsity basket- bailers will be lost through graduation. They are as follows: Don Lacharite, Dick Sweeney, Marcel Fregeau, Norman Bergeron, Dick Langlais, and Paul Kane. Three regulars, however, will be back to mold next year’s team. They are: Billy Arcand, Paul Lister, and Bob Bouffard. Bill Arcand led the team scoring with a total of 164 points. Dick Sweeney followed in the scoring column with a total of 157 points for the season. The scoring was pretty well divided among the remaining three of the first five and the so-called sixth man. All in all, the Millers had an exceptionally fine season, and we are sure that their record of wins and losses accumulated in Northern League play will be a goal for future Winooski High cagers.

Sometimes it is the beginning of great careers. The Junior edition of the Millers ended the regular season play this year with a total of 12 wins and only 6 losses. These games were all against top-notch competition. Making up in spirit and hustle, what they lacked in height, these boys put together such victories, as their triumphs over Cathedral, Montpelier, etc. The teams leading scorer was Allan Provost with 96 points, closely followed by David Muir who was last year’s leading scorer, with 83 points, the rest of the scoring was divided between Lefebvre, Myers, Francis, Kirby and Ladue. These boys who played on the team showed great sportsmanship and all around ability all year. They were a credit to the school, and respected by all their opponents. Here’s hoping the boys on the club next year have as much success, if not more. JUNIOR VARSITY OP WHS G FG F PTS.

TTiey did an excellent job of leading the school cheers. They accompanied the basketball team to all the out of town games. The Cheerleaders held their regular tag-day and sold chances to raise money for the athletic fund. J. V. CHEERLEADERS The Junior Varsity squad of Cheerleaders were faithful supporters of the J. V. Basketball team all through the season. All these girls will be on hand next year to take a place in the Cheer leading squad. They aided the Varsity girls with the tag-day and the selling of chances.
