TESTAMENTUM CLASSIS To Whom It May Concern Before bidding our final adieus, the Senior Class of Winooski High School, being of sound mind, that is most, of the time, declare and hereby make this our last will and testament. It must be remembered that this will was written in moments of rash thinking, there- fore, these gifts should not be declared void upon request. Before I go any further I would like to give a little bit of advice to the oncoming seniors. They should appoint two husky, strong boys or girls to act as guards in the event that an underclassman tries to get smart and make use of the front entrance, a privilege only for seniors. This may solve your problem. To the members of the faculty we wish to express our sincere gratitude for all the time and untiring efforts they have given us, to aid us in reaching our goal, our gradu- ation. Their patience and guidance will always remain with us throughout the years. I shall now proceed to the following personal bequests: I, Mary Leveillee, leave to Janet Crady and Joyce Tobin some of my old love letters. I, William Arcand, leave to Guy DeVarney and Donald Lefebvre my Charles Atlas Course, it hasn’t worked yet. I, Betty Lister, leave to Lorraine Merchant my rendition of the Charleston. I, Paul Lister, leave to Allan Provost and Raymond Chicoine my basketball ability and all that goes with it. I, Irene Chari and, leave t6 Jacqueline Brown and Shirley Leonard, my quiet and gentle ways. I, William Daley, just leave. I, Audrey Provost, leave to Roger Leduc and John Crowley my Physics note books full of doodling. I, Albert Sweeney, leave to Gerald Boisjoli and Bernard Phillips my little book entitled, How to Become a Successful Husband.” I, Marion Sallah, leave to Jean Couchon and Lillian Charland my ability to get straight A’s. I, William Gregorek, leave to Richard Yandow and Raymond Bruneau my knack for slip- ping out of the school at recess for a mid-morning snack. I, Jeannette Bouffard, leave to Carol Boucher my little alarm clock which has helped me to be so punctual during my senior year. I, Rita Landry, leave to Carolyn Stone and Pauline Gardner my map with the shortest route to Colchester. I, Joyce Shiner, leave to Frederick Ache! my witty disposition, to use at frequent intervals. I, Anita Quintin, leave to the Junior Class the memory of my dashing red hair. I, Jacqueline Bergeron, 1 eave to Audrey Hickey and Theresa Sabourin my radiant smile. I, Theresa Julian, leave to Robert Bouffard my love. I, Robert Rabidoux, leave to Vernon Merchant and Ronald Lacourse my stage fright.

HISTORIA CLASSIS As the C]ass Historian of 1951, it is a pleasure to present to you, our teachers, parents, and friends, a view of our twelve years of schooling. It is no doubt a repetition of what other classes have encountered. It was a very pleasant fall day when we entered school. We were as shy as those before us, not knowing what to do when we arrived there. It was a great event for which our parents had tried to prepare us, but it was not what we had expected. There were new faces and the absence of our parents added to much of the confusion. We soon began to enjoy the routine of school, but were greatly disappointed on the days when there was no school. The reason for this was that we had come to enjoy the companion- ship of other boys and girls and all the fun we had. The years passed by in rapid succession. We learned the basic courses for our future studies, which were reading, writing, and arithmetic. We played games, sang, and drew, along with the basic courses. We put on many musical skits which were enjoyed by the whole student body. Before we realized it we were ready for Junior High School. The changing of classes confused us in our seventh year. We were also confused with the length of classes and examinations, but we soon became accustomed to them. In the eighth grade Marion Sal 1 ah was awarded the Good Citizenship Medal. Class Officers: William Arcand, Robert Bouffard, William Tobin, Ludger Benoit, Mary L«u Mongeon, Marjory Mongeon, Theresa Julian, and William Daley. Along with our losses of classmates in the ninth grade we gained new ones. They were: Anita Quintin, Joyce Gay, Aline Hatin, Jacqueline and Pauline Bergeron, Irene Chari and, Lorraine Limoges, and a few others who left us later that year. We were allowed to select our own courses of study and we tried to make wise decisions. We kept wondering what the future held for us. We had our choice of the following activities: Glee Club, Band, Dramatics, Baseball, Basketball, and Cheerleading. During our four years of high school numerous social events were put on. We have many pleasant memories of our dances, plays, class trips, and glee club concerts. The Junior and Senior Banquet which was held at the Burlington Country Club was the main event of our Junior year. The girls in our class looked very attractive in their evening gowns. Their corsages of roses, orchids, and gardenias made them look even more attractive. Our guests were Superintendent and Mrs. Lull, Principal and Mrs. Couture, Mrs. Long, and the Senior class. Our Junior class advisor was Miss Stone. The first social event of our Senior year was the class play. It proved to be a suc- cess, both socially and financially. We chose our class colors, name cards, and Commencement invitations in the early part of the year. The CARILLON Staff and the cast of the cl ass. pi ay were chosen at this time. The following were elected to the CARILLON Staff: Theresa Julian, Editor-in-Chief; Anita Qiintin, Assistant Editor; Pauline Bergeron, Business Manager; Anita Quintin, Elaine Merchant, Beverly Francis, Joyce Shiner, Jacqueline Bergeron, William Daley, Aline Hatin, Audrey Provost, Ix rraine Limoges, and Jeannette Bouffard. After tryouts for the class play, “ Murder in a Nunnery,” a three-act comedy and mystery, the following cast was chosen: William Daley, William Gregorek, Elaine Merchant, Theresa Julian, Anita Qiintin, Audrey Provost, Shirley Fitzgerald, Aline Hatin, Mary Leveillee, Pauline Bergeron, Jacqueline Bergeron, Irene Chari and, Robert Rabidoux, Albert Sweeney, Donald Ignaszewski, Joyce Shiner, and Jeannette Bouffard. Miss O’Brien directed the play.
