Ducas of this church served as a missionary to Turkey.
During Rev. Theodore Bacheler's pastorate the church voted overwhelmingly for the merger with the Evangelical and Reformed Church. Mr. Bacheler is particularly re- membered for his pastoral work with the sick and shut-ins. For four months in 1950 Rev. Ben Roberts of Starksboro served the church as supply, until Rev. C. Arthur Hazen came in 1950 to begin a pastorate lasting eleven years. Gifts of electric tower chimes and a com- munion tray set in memory of Deacon B. R. Demeritt were received from his son and widow. In 1951 the sesquicentennial of the church was celebrated with Dr. Alfred Grant Walton of Brooklyn preaching the sermon. "A Brief Story of 150 Years" was given by Mr. Hazen. During his pastorate the Comrades of the Way disbanded to become the Pilgrim Fellowship and the Circles of the Ladies' Union were formed. Union Lenten services, the lovely Christmas programs of music and White Gifts, the pageants and plays directed by Mrs. Hazen all enriched these years. On Nov. 14, 1954 a service of commemoration and rededication was held in gratitude for gifts and work by many for the upbuilding of the church since 1941. Gift of a bookcase and a fund in memory of Luther and Mabel Graves in 1960 made possible the establishment of a church school library. It was during this pas- torate that the Woman's Guild brought a refu- gee family to Waterbury, renting and furnish- ing a home for them. During this time, too, the church voted to become part of the United Church of Christ. On Sept. 27, 1959 the church celebrated the 25th anniversary of the ordi- nation of the Rev. Mr. Hazen. In addition to his duties as pastor, Mr. Hazen served as part- time chaplain at the Vermont State Hospital and conducted worship services there, as other pastors have done. Again Rev. Ben Roberts served the church as supply during 1961-62. On Sept. 1, 1962 Rev. Walter L. Cooley came to assume the pastorate and was installed on Nov. 4, 1962 in an impressive service. He and Mrs. Cooley have been particularly concerned with the work with the Pilgrim Fellowship. Present officers include Arthur Porter, Wil- liam Deane, Harold Grout, Wilfred Kelly, Deacons; Ralph Morse and Dascomb Rowe, Deacons Emeritus; Helen Sandretto, Esther Kelly, Bessie Akey, Rose Grout, Deaconesses; Victor Backels, Clerk; Charles Parker, Trea- surer; Meredith Newton, organist; Alice Bailey, choir director; Rebecca Higgins, Jr. choir di- rector. Many other names come to mind of those who have served the church in years past: Miss Lena Wallace and Mrs. B. R. De- meritt, choir directors for many years; Dea- cons L. H. Elliott, B. R. Demeritt, E. F. Palmer, Jr., Dr. G. S. Bidwell, C. D. Swasey, C. C. Graves, Judge C. B. Adams; and historian for many, many years, Miss Etta Graves.

WESLEY METHODIST CHURCH
1799- Lorenzo Dow, 21 years of age, first Methodist preacher or circuit rider appointed to Waterbury, part of Essex Circuit. Elijah Hedding followed Lorenzo Dow. Mr. Hedding later became a Bishop of great renown, one of the greatest of Methodist Episcopal Church.
1835- Waterbury became an appointment when Orris Pier was stationed at the village.
1836-First Methodist Class formed with Thomas Guptil class leader. Other members of this first class were John Lathrop, Paul Dillingham, C. C. Arms, William Carpenter, A. A. Atherton, and probably others, names not mentioned.
1838 - Parsonages.
First was a house located on Main Street near railroad bridge and was first parsonage in entire circuit. Second church home was located on Stowe Street near first Methodist Church.
Third parsonage purchased was located on Winooski Street after sale of Stowe Street house. This parsonage was used until 1932 when the Carpenter property on South Main Street was purchased and is now occupied by Rev. Wesley T. Logan and family.
1842-Church Buildings.
First church of Methodist denomination was built on Stowe Street on a lot purchased from Joseph Moody. Cost of lot was $300. A brick building was erected. An interesting fact is that all Methodist churches erected in Waterbury have been of brick structure. This church was dedicated on January 1, 1842, Rev. Josiah Poor presiding.
1867 - Stowe Street church building enlarged.
1892-Present church building located on South Main Street was completed on December 25, 1892. Dedication service, Janu- ary 20, 1893. Rev. W. R. Davenport, minister. Rev. Davenport, Senator W. P. Dillingham, and Justin W. Moody, building committee in charge. The pipe organ was given the church at that time by Dillingham family and not replaced until after the flood of 1927 when another Estey organ was pur- chased.
METHODIST CONFERENCES HELD IN WATERBURY
1869 - April-Pastor Rev. A. B. Truax Bishop Thompson, presiding
1895- April -Pastor Rev. W. R. Davenport Bishop Foss, presiding
1911 - April-Pastor Rev. E. F. Newell Bishop Neely, presiding
1932- April-Pastor Rev. Robert Heseltine Bishop W. F. Anderson, presiding
During 1911 conference, high water came to Waterbury and some pastors had the experience of having to be taken from Randall Avenue homes by boat to reach the church.
The 1932 Conference was the 88th and last Vermont Metho- dist Conference. Vermont then joined the New York Troy Conference. The 1932 Conference was broadcast by station W.D.E.V. and was first time a Methodist Conference had been broadcast. Soloists heard were Mrs. Stella Willard and Mrs. Frank Lamb, members of Wesley Methodist Church. Station W.D.E.V. is now owned by Lloyd E. Squier, a trustee and member of Wesley Methodist Church.
PERTINENT WESLEY CHURCH FACTS
1918-Rev. Verne L. Smith, pastor.
During his pastorate, Rev. Smith assisted at the Congre- gational Church during the absence of their pastor, Rev. Boicourt, who was in service of armed forces of World War I. Wesley Church dining hall was converted to hospital use during the flu epidemic.
1927- Flood, November 3rd.
Rev. Rutherford H. Moore, pastor.
Great damage was suffered at Wesley Church. Rehabilita- tion Committee headed by Mark H. Moody, assisted by D. C. Jones, C. C. Holmes, F. C. Lamb, H. N. Cutting, and D. W. Cooley, was organized and restoration of Wesley Church was begun.
During this period Methodists worshipped at the Congre- gational Church.
1947-Rev. Myron E. Genter, pastor.
Wesley Church saddened by death of Rev. Genter, November 19, 1947. He had served Wesley Church for nine years. A great loss to Wesley Church parish and to the community in large.
1963 - Rev. Wesley T. Logan, pastor.
Wesley Church has grown from a class of a few to a parish of over 400 members. We are a part of Troy Conference, Burl- ington District. Time marches on and, as Methodists always have, so shall we, Wesley Methodist Church of 1963.

ADVENT CHRISTIAN CHURCH
The Advent Christian Church of Waterbury had its beginnings in Stowe. However, in the summer of 1893 or '94 a mission tent was erec- ted at Waterbury Center and services were conducted by Rev. Harry D. Selby and Rev. George W. Tabor of Holland, Vermont. Later this tent was set up in the Little River District.
In October of 1894 the Stowe Hollow So- ciety of 36 members voted to move the church organization to Colbyville. One member seems to have gone wrong, inasmuch as they voted to throw him out of the church and let him go as a heathen. Early promoters of the building of a new church were Mr. Francis Joslyn, Joseph S. Wheeler and Edward A. Gibbs. In 1894 the first business meeting was held in the vestry of the new church and in 1895 it was dedicated. Money for the building of the church was do- nated. Rev. George W. Tabor became its first pastor.
It might be well to recall that the first record of any movement by the Adventist de- nomination in Waterbury was in 1839, when Willis Miller delivered a course of lectures. Interest developed so that an organization was formed in 1858 with 50 members. A large church was built and dedicated in 1859 with Joshua V. Hines as the first preacher. This building was sold to the Catholic Society about 1876 and is now the present Catholic Church.
Many conferences have been held at the church in Colbyville, several young preachers have been ordained, and many have been li- censed to preach. The church has always con- tributed to home missions, foreign missions, evangelistic services and many religious
organizations. Many a child has come up through the Sunday School and gone out into the world better fitted to meet the problems of life for having attended the church. For fifty years it has pointed the way toward better things. For fifty years it has taught the prin- ciples and precepts of Holy Writ.

WATERBURY HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS
Athletics have played an important part in the history of Waterbury High School with many rewarding victories over the years. In the early years competition was with larger and smaller high schools which system has gradu- ally changed to various leagues, the competi- tion now being with schools of similar size.
The girl's basketball teams have been State Champions in four different years, in 1906 under Coach Harry Grout; in 1944-45 under Betty Coles; in 1939-40 under Homer Murray and in 1956-57 under Pat Gandhey.
The boy's basketball team was State Cham- pion in 1936-37 with Dascomb P. Rowe as coach and was runner-up the following year. In 1951 it won the Northern State Championship with Steve Doran as coach. In five of the last six years the team has been a contestant in league playoffs and placed third in two of these.
Our cross country teams were perennial champions in earlier years when little interest was shown in this sport. In 1951 under Coach Rowe they won the State Championship a- gainst strong competition.
The game of soccer began in 1957 and in 1958 the team entered the Green Mountain League winning the championship, also in 1961 and 1962. In five years the team has won 44 games, lost 10 and tied 3. In 1962 in the State Finals it played Hinesburg to a 0-0 score but Hinesburg was declared the winner on the number of corner kicks.

Baseball has been an active and successful sport and in the last six years the team has won 63 games and lost 19. This present year it has won 9 and lost 1. In 1961 it lost the State Finals in Class I to Winooski High School by a score of 4-3 and again in 1963, 5-3.
The Little League, a Summer Babe Ruth League, was organized in 1959 and in four
seasons has been the winner in 50 games and loser in only 2. It played in the 1962 State Finals. Mr. Herb Erickson has been Athletic Coach since 1957.
It would be exceedingly remiss not to men- tion the success of Waterbury High School with One Act Plays under the direction of Mrs. Dorothy Gough. In 1947, 1950, 1954 and 1955 we were State Champions.
