THROUGH THE JOURNEY OF OUR LIVES, OUR WAYS ARE LIGHTED BY LAMPS WHICH HELP US SEE THE WORLD ABOUT US MORE CLEARLY, TO APPRAISE THE PRESENT AND TO PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE. THESE LAMPS MAY TAKE MANY FORMS: AN EXPERIENCE THROUGH WHICH WE LEARN; A CHILDHOOD FRIENDSHIP; PERHAPS AN ASSOCIATION WITH SOME OLDER PERSON. FOR EACH ONE THE SIGNIFICANT VARIES. BUT NOW AS WE LEAVE MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE WE FIND THAT THIS PHASE OF OUR EDUCATION HAS LIGHTED A PORTION OF THE PATHS OF EACH OF US. FROM ITS LIGHT WE HAVE GAINED NOT ONLY THE BRIGHTNESS OF FRIENDSHIP BUT ALSO THE ENDURING LIGHT OF UNDERSTANDING AND KNOWLEDGE. 1956 Kaleidoscope LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Heinrichs O Waldo H WALDO HUNTLEY HEINRICHS CAME TO MIDDLEBURY IN 1934, BRINGING WITH HIM A PAST RICH WITH EXPERIENCES; HE IS NOW LEAVING MIDDLEBURY, RETIRING AFTER TVVENTY-ONE YEARS OF FAITHFUL AND LOYAL SERVICE TO THE COLLEGE. IT WOULD BE HARD TO FIND ANOTHER PROFESSOR WHO HAS TAUGHT AS MANY DIFFERENT MIDDLEBURY STUDENTS AS HE HAS. THROUGH HIS INSPIRING LEADERSHIP AND TEACHING IN CONTEMPO- RARY CIVILIZATION, STUDENTS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO A GREATER AWARENESS OF THE PAST, THE PRESENT, AND THE FUTURE, ALL BROUGHT CLOSER BY THE ENRICHMENT OF PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND ANECDOTES. HIS LECTURE ON WORLD WAR 11, NOW A TRADI- TION AT MIDDLEBURY, WILL BE LONG REMEMBERED BY THE MANY WHO HAVE ATTENDED IN THE YEARS PAST. BUT HE WILL NOT BE REMEMBERED SOLELY FOR HIS ACHIEVE- MENTS IN THE ACADEMIC FIELD. HIS ENTHUSIASTIC AND UNTIRING SUPPORT AT COLLEGE ATHLETICS, ESPECIALLY THE SKI EVENTS AT CARNIVAL TIME, IS FAMILIAR TO ALL. HIS FRIENDLY SMILE . . . HIS CHEERY WAVE OR GREETING . . . HIS INTEREST IN AND SUPPORT OF STUDENT ACTIVITIES . . . THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE WILL REMEMBER. AS ONE SMALL TRIBUTE AND AS OUR WAY OF SAYING THANK YOU, THE CLASS OF 1956 DEDICATES THIS YEARBOOK TO WALDO HEINRICHS. Winter . . . O 10 ll 3.96 :3 3i. X ,, V 2 NS Q . .3 wk 3 $2,.

WHO HAVE TOILED MANY YEARS IN THEIR PURSUIT OF THE LIGHT OF KNOWLEDGE AND THEIR ENDEAVOR TO INSTILL IT WITHIN THE MINDS OF THE GENERATIONS OF STUDENTS WHO PASS THROUGH MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE. There are times when a college president wishes that the student year book could convey in pictures and prose the intellectual growth that actually does take place in a student between matriculation and graduation. The proverbial Visitor from lVlars would get perhaps a curious impression of a liberal education if his only source of information was a casual perusal of this college pictorial review 0? campus life. Yet if he studies our Kaleidoscope with care and discrimination he would find, I think, the three pillars of a hiiddlebury education - the playing Fields, the ClaSSe room, and the Chapel. A well rounded development of body, mind and spirit is and will be a proper goal for your college to strive to achieve for Middlebury students. It is my belief that in the years ahead, when glances at this 1956 Kaleidoscope bring to mind your college years, you will find in your memories more than recollections of the good times and the work and fun of extracurriculat activities. I think you will recall people and events, books, and mental experiences that in retrospect you will label significant milestones in your march toward intellectual maturity. If I am right, then Middlebury will always have and deserve your affection, and those of us who remain in the classrooms and offices of the campus will find satisfaction in our pleasant duties. PRESIDENT SAMUEL S. STRATTON. One of the earliest acts of Creation was the command iiLet there be Light. The same phrase should be the motto of every educational institution which, like Middlebury College, seeks to train young men and women in wisdom as well as knowledge. It is our task to guide our students, first7 in a patient and thorough search for facts and information; and then, in an objective and unhurried interpretation of the facts. Unlike the act of Creation, Light does not come to us mortals at our command. Wisdom must be sought after, earnestly, through months and years, and at the cost of great pains. Often it does not come at all, and we are deluded into thinking that darkness is light. Let us not forget that when Light flooded the world, it Stopped at no national boundaries and selected no favorite races. Americans must not make the mistake of thinking that they are a Chosen race, with a monopoly on the intelligence of the world. As a world leader, we need more than ever the humility of seeking the light wherever it may be found, of listening to the voice of wisdom whatever its source. Our schools and coiieges must raise up a new generation which understands, or is willing to try to understand, the minds of other peoples - their achievements and their needs, their problems and their ideas. Through the sympathetic study Of another language and another culture, our Citizens can escape provincialism, and learn to recognize wisdom even when it comes from beyond our boundaries. Middlebury College stands for this kind of a liberal educaiton. From its hiile top on the Otter, looking to the horizons east and west, it prays iiLet there be light in all the earthy VICEPRESIDENT STEPHEN A. FREEMAN.

The greatest factor contributing to its increased efficiency is its smaller size. From a realization that the true center of campus life is the tra- ternity, dorm representatives were replaced by one delegate from each fraternity and the At- water Club. In its course of regular duties, the Assembly elected members to such groups as the Conces- sions Committee, Judiciary Council, and the Athletic Council; it supervised Class elections, the college handbook, and the freshmen pictures. A typical example of its work was the letter sweater question. When the Athletic Council ended the distinction between major and minor sports, the Assembly found it did not have suf- ficient funds to give sweaters to all letter win- ners. By the end of the first semester, working with the Athletic Council, the Assembly resolved the problem by awarding sweaters to team cap- tains and winners of three 'iMil awards. lts action in handling the screen situation is also to be commended. Late in the school year of 1954-55, an intensive collection of facts was made in all men,s dormitories under this groups guidance. The results revealed that the college was overcharging students for screen rc- pair of damage which, in some cases, was due to depreciation. The Assembly had these facts brought to the attention of the students. Although a great amount of its work, routine but important, goes unpublicized, such a group plays a Vital part on campus. With a merger of the MUA and the WUA in the offing, this organization should continue to strengthen its campus position as it has done this year. WOMENTS UNDERGRADUATE ASSOCIATION This year has been a big year for VVUA. The new constitution was passed and council govern- ment came to the womenis campus. This same council was passed by the men, and the womeifs council is now focusing their attention on the eventual merger with the menis government. The council is made up of the President of WUA and the Chief Justice plus one girl from each dorm. Out of this group are elected the Vice-Chairman, treasurer and secretary. The old assembly made up of one representative from every ten girls is still in existence, and after the merger this group will be called together on such matters that pertain only to the women,s campus. This new executive council came into effect at the beginning of second semester. The general activities besides the big job of the constitution have been many. They have taken over the dress code from Mortar Board, and this will now come out in May in time for the perspective freshmen to plan her wardrobe. There has been constant work on improving the social code and also on improving studentefaculty relations. VVUA has a foster child. He is Yo Wan Yung in Korea. They support him Finan- cially, since his father was killed in the war, and they also write to him. The new government has done much to build up the interest of the womens campus in student government affairs. It is hoped that this enthusiasm will continue, and that WUA will have as cooperative workers and as efficient lead- ers as they had this year. Seated: Parsons, Starr, Updike. Standing: Bisett, King, McMahon. Phi Beta Kappa Early in the Fall of each year, one of the morning ehape1s is devoted to awarding the highest honor of academic achievement to under- graduates at Midd1ebury - hard-earned member- ship into the Phi Beta Kappa Society. The Stu- dents respectfully stand and watch the members of the Chapter walk to the front of the Chapel and take their places. After one of the members gives a brief 1115' tory of the PBK Society, and explains the re quirements for membership, those seniors who have an average of eighty-nine for six semesters work at hdiddlebury are called to the front of the Chapel, where presentation of the PBK key is made. Upon receiving the key, each new member is shown the special handshake hy the President. At this time, the student officia11y becomes a member of this select group which includes distinguished scholars of Middlebury back to the Class of 1863 when the Beta Chapter of Vermont was installed here. A similar ceremony is re peated at the end of the college year for those graduating seniors with an average rank of 87.5 3r better for eight semesters at Midd. 36 MacDowell, Anfindsen, Murdock. Waubanakee Being tapped into W aubanakee is the high- est honor a male undergraduate can achieve at Middlebury. Waubanakee derives its name from an Indian tribe which lived in the Northern part of New England and lower Canada. VVaubanakee was founded in 1911 with the purpose of directing sentiment in all matters of interest to the student body. The members were pledged to bring about Tibetter conditions of the administration of student affairs . . . CtheD cu1- tivation of a broader college spirit . . . and . . . better relations between facu1ty and students? In the early years of its existence it conducted activities in all phases of campus life, most of which are now under jurisdiction of other or- ganizations. The early symbols of VVaubanakee were a tomahawk, for progress, and a turtle, for conservatism. 111 1920, a new constitution was drawn up. Waubanakee assumed a purely honorary role made up of seniors who have manifested the truest Middlebury spirit during their first three years? VVaubanakee is a self-perpetuating organi- zation with a seldom filled quota of nine. The members are tapped in the spring of their Jun- ior year on the basis of fulfilling 11the high stan- dards of Character, scholarship, personality, and extra-eurricular activities required bV the societv. Members tapped last year were Channing B. Murdock, Cyrus P. Antindsen, and Edward P. MacDoweH. Reviewing Middleburyis educational aims and practices with an eye toward improving the program and bettering student-faculty relations - that is the purpose of the Student Educational Policy Committee, Eight senior men and wo- men, who represent the four divisions of the curriculum, try to present student Views on scholastic matters and work closely with the Faculty Educational Policy Committee. Although their main work is with the cur- riculum, SEPC annually sets up the student adviser program in conjunction with the Admis- sions Office, making assignments and meeting with the advisers throughout the year. In the focal point of interest this year was the hiortar Board Survey on the freshmen cur- riculum. SEPC felt that student opinion should be consulted in the faculty survey of courses, and interpreted the results of Mortar Boards tabulations. Recommendations were made to the Contemporary Civilization department and t0 the English department. Individual appeals from students On prob- lems such as the extension of evening classes to avoid seminar conflicts and the obtaining of credit for Choir members have been considered by the committee. The Student Educational Policy Committee's long distance goal, according to President Robert Santomenna, is working toward an academic honor system at Middlebury and laying the groundwork For an enhanced intellectual Cli- mate.

As a correlating group between the student body and the administrate tion, SLC hears both sides of campus issues, dis- cusses them, and makes recommendations for their resolution. Students may offer opinions and suggestions about problems with which they are concerned to the leaders of campus organizations, and the committee discusses them at regular meetings. For 1955-1956, several major concerns con- fronted the committee within their job of having general charge of student organizations and functions. Approving constitutions came to the Forefront with new Class constitutions, as well as many others, being drafted. An annual duty is considering and approving the years social calendar. Dormitory food has been an issue in the past, and through the efforts of SLC, this year saw a great improvement. Students greeted the de- cision, recommended by SLC, on cutting Classes after midesemester recess with great enthusiasm, while the men saw their suggestion for altering the parking rules carried into effect. As a re suit of SLC recommendation, the whole campus and the parking lots have better lighting. Frae ternity rushing Will now take place during sec- ond semester. In an attempt to make the Student Life Com- mittee more representative, two members were added this year - the dean of freshmen men and the president of Panhellenic Council.

Its quota of five sophomores, fifteen juniors, and five seniors tapped in the late spring of each year need not necessarily be met. The members are chosen on the basis of leadership, sportsmanship, and manhood. The Blue Keyls functions include the indoctrination 0f the fresh- men men with the customs and traditions of Middlebury College, the sponsorship of various campus activities, and the promotion of inter- collegiate sportsmanship in athletics. The Blue Key annually awards a $100 scholarship to the undergraduate man who shows needy and who possesses sportsmanship, leader- ship, and a high academic standing. A trophy awarded to the freshman man who has done the most to advance the cause of sports- manship and the spirit of his Class has been awarded annually since it was established in 1948. Key During U.V.M. Weekend, the Blue Key in connection with Mortar Board at Middlebury and Mortar Board and the Boulder Society at U.V.M. sponsored the Spring Street Stompers. The Blue Key also sponsored the Freshman W eek Dance given for the members of the Fresh- man Class ending their week of indoctrination. This past year, the Blue Key held a Letter- manis Banquet featuring a guest speaker. All the men who had earned a letter in a varsity sport, all the Blue Key members, and all the members of the coaching staff were invited to attend. The Blue Key Society has over the years done a fine job of preserving the customs and traditions of Middlebury College, and of creat- ing a symbol of leadership, sportsmanship, and manhood toward which all Middlebury men aspire. Mortar Board It is spring, and the womens campus seems packed into the Chapel, the junior women all seated in front to await the moment of the tap- ping for membership into Mortar Board. The night before everyone had crowded into the halls of the dorms as the senior Mortar Board members marched through and tapped their canes tor the number of girls who would he asked to join. These juniors are chosen on three main quali- ties: leadership, leadership in just one of two activities; scholarship, four points above the col- lege average; and service, service as a good fol- lower and worker as well as a good leader. Each person tapped has had the complete vote of Mortar Board. This year Mortar Board has been more active than usual. Their main project was a survey of the campus for opinions on the freshmen courses. This was given because Mortar Board felt that perhaps some of the loss of interest in studies after the first few months was due to the survey courses. The results of this survey were handed over to the Student Educational Policy Commit tee, to continue from there with recommenda- tions to the various departments. Along a more social line Mortar Board sponsored a tea for the parents of the freshmen the Sunday of their ar- rival at college. Then at Christmas they had a buffet for the House Directors. Then working in conjunction with Blue Key, they handled such functions as the dance for freshmen at the end of Freshmen Week and the jazz concert UVM weekend in which Mortar Board and Blue Key were aided by the corresponding organiza- tions at UVM. Mortar Board is the highest honor a Middle bury woman can receive, and the six women in Mortar Board of 195556 certainly live up to the high standards of leadership, scholarship, and service.

Primary among their activities is the hearings of cases involving men and women students who, in some way, have violated a college regulation, and the determination in each case just what disciplinary action should be taken, The juris- diction of the menls council extends to the en- forcement of dorm regulations, car Violations, and cases involving the falsification of identifi- cation.

The Womenls Judiciary Council is empowered to enforce the social legis- lation enacted by the VVornenls Undergraduate Association, which includes such items as late minutes and the drinking code. Due to its close- ness t0 the problems arising under the social code, the Council has been of invaluable aid to the W.U.A. in suggesting changes and additions to it. Heading the Womenls Council is the Chief Justice, elected from out Of the member- ship of the senior class by the undergraduate women.

The Judicial Councils Debaters Employing the topic, llResolved: That all non-agriculture workers should be guaranteed an annual wage, the Debaters, under the guid- ance of Mr. Fred Bowman, have striven to equal their excellent record of last year. At this time, they participated in the National Debate Toure nament at West Point, after becoming second in the New York-New England division. They have climbed the first steps to that goal - tying for second place in the U.V.lVl. Tournament, which is the largest in the East, and placing second in the Tufts Tournament, which encompasses all Of New England. They also plan to debate in the St. Lawrence Tour- namen't.

Science Club The aim of the Middlebury College Science Club is to better acquaint students with the vari- ous fields of science and to stimulate individual research. The meeting programs include speeches of faculty members on popular topics, scientific movies, or explanations of masters, projects bv graduate students. Professor VVissler gave a talk on atomic energy, and Professor Ewell spoke about sensory perception. The geology majors demonstrated the mechanisms of a geyser with apparatus and colored chilk diagrams. The 1955- 1956 Science Club officers are: Sheldon Dean, President; John de Gunzburg, Vice President; Sue Lehman, Secretary; and Frances Hall, Pub- licity Chairman. The Science Club was former Iy known as the Alchemists, but since only Chem- istry majors were eligible for membership in the Alchemists, the name of the Club was Changed in order to include undergraduates from all sci- ence departments. International Relations Club The International Relations Club is not a new thing on the Middlebury College campus. Such an organization existed several years ago, but the past several years have not seen an active group. This year through the interest of a group of students a successful attempt to re-establish an organization of this type was made. The meetings have taken the form of discussions of topics of current interest by faculty members and students. Fortunately there has been the op- portunity to take advantage of first hand reports on world affairs. Herr Neuse, upon his return from 3 semesters stay in Germany, reported upon First ROW: Lucas, L.

At present, a Constitution Committee is in the process of formulation of a more specific or- ganization. The committee consists of Philip Braun, Lucy James, George Joseph, Elizabeth Mathewson, Phillippe Travernier, Martha BeL knap, Ronald Friedland, Norda Carlson, Richard Kim, and Konrad Schultz.

She and her staff were responsible for plac- ing sketches throughout the yearbook after hav- ing developed them From the theme. Every once in awhile, an unanticipated space would have to be filled. The art staff was always kept busy. The business staff was headed by Manager Norman Crowder. The business staffs Chief function was the securing of advertisers for the advertising section, the financial mainstay of the yearbook. This entailed making frequent trips to places such as Burlington and Rutland. The layout of the advertising section was also hancned by this staff. The literary staff Editor was David Tuttle. The literary staff did the writing of all the arti- cles which appear in the yearbook with the ex- ception of those of the fraternities, sororities, and some of the members of the faculty. The articles had to be carefully designed for the space they were to fill, and the style of the writing had to suit the subject. The management staff carried out its Func tions with Barbara Ransom as its Editor. This staff had the task of typing copy for the literary staff, and seeing that the engraverTs and pub- lisher's deadlines were met by all the contribut- ing staffs. The photography staff, Elizabeth Mooney Editor, was responsible for the picture layout of the entire yearbook as well as the scheduling of pictures and retakes, and the selection and ar- rangement of informal shots.

Co-Chairmen Cobb and Boyd At Middlebury, each year a concerted stu- dent effort is activated to raise money for the community chest. This year,s drive, under the direction of Gerry Cobb ,56 and Lucy Boyd 56, was enthusiastically begun with the formation of necessary committees and the establishment of a goal of $3,000. Dependence on individual 46 Dance Club The Dance Club has gained even a higher place in the activities of Middlebury College this year, under the leadership of Patty Tibone. Through their diligence and talent, the members have created an interest for dance in the student body, and are in demand for entertainment at many dances and parties during the year. A faithful and truly interested group of girls meet each week to improve their dance tech- niques and practice new routines designed by the members. The group has created a number of routines and is planning a large production For the Spring, while they gave a performance of both original dances and techniques for the freshmen in October. Although there are only three girls in the specialized iiDance Groupi, at present, tryouts will be held in the Spring for new members. Mrs. Dorothea B. Marshall, who is the clubs advisor, is also the modern dance instructor at the college. She and the Dance Group spon- sored a successful program by Martha Meyer in February, and have worked to keep in touch with other colleges in this area as to the new developments and techniques of modern dance. Community Chest Drive 56 donations for two-thirds of the total Fund was necessary; therefore, personal envelopes were passed through the student body. Another source of revenue was the Com- munity Chest Fair headed by Robert hiorris $56 and Lucy James 57. Fraternities, sororities, and faculty set up concessions, which provided an eveningis fun highlighted by the arm-wrest- ling concession? and a Healy donated painting netting $85 for the cause. A new idea of an ugly man contest added college spirit. Mike Hanafees ability to tri- umph as the ugliest 0f the ugly netted him the title and a tidy sum for the drive. Added funds from fraternity and faculty donations aided in a collective effort of $2,600 For this year. Frontiers A hybrid publication of bohemian existence in search of an audience; the collective inspirae tion of a handful of voices eager to he heard in print; a gnashing of editorial teeth in small tired hours of morning . . . these things, and many others, fit for remembrance. These things to know if you are curious about your magazine, Frontiers. And if you are not in too much of a hurry, have time to listen awhile . . . to tell you how it happens. Editor Mark Hopkins calling for a staff meet- ing in the college newspaper because Frontiers has no room of its own, and people like Bills Fay and IVIcMurray, Jack Ebhels and Sabra Har- wood, Beth Davis and Rosamund Mueller sit- ting around and talking With Pete Brigham, Vickie Grove, Pan Libman, Penny Martin and Gerry Raymond about stuff for publication, and sometimes Walt Meat looking in to see if his office was being kept Clean, and sometimes the talking getting pretty heated about Which stuff Seated: Mueller, B. Davis, Hopkins, Fay, Harwood. Raymond. should be kept and which should go. And Hop- kins keeping cool, being practical, thinking al- ways of the magazine first. Meanwhile, Bob Gilmore hustling advertis- ing in the Village7 convincing the merchants Frontiers will be clean from now on. Getting their business. Manuscripts coming slow at first. Hopkins looking nervous. Then, just before the dead- line, enough and more. Staff meetings, rejeCe tion slips, phone calls to Queen City Printers in Burlington, the setting up of the magazine as it would appear in print. A revision of this. Then another. At last, the proofs down from Burlington and looking pretty good. Then care tons of Frontiers lugged up to the office for labeling and stamping Ohanks, WaltD to mail to the kids off campus. Dean Thurber called and getting his permission for vehicular delivery to the Battells and armed with a note just in case of Chandler. And in the office after it was all over my asking Mark what next and his answering iiBed wearily out the door. Standing: Grove7 P. Martin, Peck, Meats, Libman, Womenls Forum Twenty years old and still growing, Womenls Forum continued its tradition of service this year under the leadership of Nancy Warner. Forumls focus has undergone a major change since its founding as an international relations study group in 1936. Its field of interest is no longer the world scene, but the town of Middlebury, Vermont, U. S. A. Promoting townegown good will through serv- ice is the aim of the 560 college students who work on Forums 26 committees. With the Community House as a hub of activity, the organization ex- tends its services to all of hliddlebury and its en- virons through the homes, schools and welfare in- stitutions. To celebrate its twentieth year, Forum enter- tained wellewishers from Village and Hill at a May tea in the Community House. The calendar For that month also started the All-Forum Picnic, a piano recital by Forum-taught proteges, and the colorful May Day pageant staged by youngsters in the various classes Another springtime activity was the All-Forum project in which members aided public health Officials in polio vaccination Clinics. Ever ready to meet the needs of an active and expanding community, Forum widened its scope of service this year by offering two new classes, baton- twirling and acrobatics, t0 school-age youngsters. The problem of integrating so large and di- versified an organization was solved this year by another innovation, the publication of 5Forum Foot- notes, a quarterly newsletter hitting the high spots of Forum committee doings. The 1956 Date Book campaign under the super-salesmanship of Pam Clark was the most suc- cessful ever, with all 750 calendars sold to students, Faculty, administration and alumni. Forum investments for 1955-56 included the annual scholarship to a Middlebury woman and a contribution to the hot-lunch program in local schools. Behind all the high spots on the Forum sched- ule are countless hours of planning and book work, hikes with the Girl Scouts, and sewing and press- ing for Thrift Shop sales - all done with an en- thusiasm that makes Forum one of the most active groups on campus.

To open the season this year, the Players presented TA Midsummer Night's Dream? This comedy about love by William Shakespeare prov- ed to be one of the most difficult tasks ever un- dertaken by the Players. Peter Honegger, 58, as Oberon, Patricia Hunter, 56, as Hermia, Joanna Taft, 58, as Helena, George Tuttle, 56, as Bottom, and Michael Werman, ,58, as Wall, together with the directors and the staging crews did a splendid job of presenting a very difficult- to-produce play. The play presented during Carnival this year was Moss Harts HLight Up the Sky? 21 play which deals with the Chaos of theater life. The play takes place in the hotel suite of Irene Liv- ingston, Victoria Grove, 56, before and after the first night of a new play in Boston. Irene Livingston is the star of the new play written by Peter Sloane, Robert MacGowan, 58. To close the season, the Players presented JiSix Characters in Search of an Author? During the year, twelve oneeact plays, one of which was student written, were presented. Again as last year, the Players held an open house for the members of the Freshman Class during the Freshman W eek orientation program. The purpose of the Players is twofold. First, it provides entertainment, and second, it provides an artistic outlet. The great hope of the Players ever since the Fire in 1953 which destroyed the college play house, and a hope which is coming even closer to materialization, is not only evidenced by the inadequate Facilities which the Players must now use but by the percentage of the student body in attendance at the aforementioned plays. This percentage runs much higher at Middle- burg than at colleges with much better drama facilities. The ultimate goal of the Players is to have their productions subsidized as is the Concert- Lecture Series, thereby enabling admission-free performances.

Players and Wig and Pen As the governing board of Players, Wig and Pen provides the leadership and technical knowl- edge necessary for good college drama. This year the organization has been under the direction of President George Tuttle, assisted by Lee Goodrich as ViceePresident and Margaret Zornow as Secre- tary-Treasurer. Wig and Pen sponsors three major plays each year, plus a series of one-act plays given in con junction with the drama production Class. At the meetings, when the group is not working on the turrent production, they entertain each Other with creative programs or enjoy some sort of social fume tion. This spring Wig and Pen revised its constituv tion in order to obtain a more flexible membership policy. Membership for 1955-56 has increased to thirty-five actives. With its new point system, Wig and Pen hopes to promote more versatility among its members and to encourage a greater interest in all phases of production. SkyHne For the few who make it, Skyline is a great experience. Acting as the governing board of the hdountain Club, Skyline is responsible For organizing and leading the Freshman Outing, the brisk fall trips, Woodsmank Weekend, A1- pinstock dance, ski and snowshoe hikes, Car- nival, and the many fine spring hikes - all for everyone to enjoy. Enveloped by some of Ver- nionit most scenic landscape, it is our pleasure to show Others some of the naturai wonder which is so Close yet so far away for most of the stue dent body. After a year and a half try-out period, six women and six men in each sophomore Ci'dSS are chosen on their leadership 21biiity, knowledge of Skyline and Mountain Club activities, first- aid, and interest in the club to become members. Hard work is ahead as a Skyliner, but the satis- faction of seeing others enjoy What you have organized is the reward we seek.

Operating in cooperation with the Intercollegie ate Broadcasting System, a nationwide association of college radio stations, WRMC can be heard early every morning and each evening at the 750 spot on the dial7 when they present a wide selection of news broadcasts, sportseasts, disk jockey shows, WRMC classical music and other novelties that appear eon- sistentiy. Among the bigger Changes that have occurred, the newly installed eontrolroom is a shining fea- ture. It is here, in this control room between the two large studios, and separated from them by double-pane, reflectionproof windows, where all the technical operations of broadcasting are performed by the staff of engineers. Their role has been en- hanced by a professional-looking control panel, dual transcription turntables, and synchronized Clocks to keep everything running on schedule. Under cover in the stations news room is the new transmitter built especially for the station by Grant Warner. Also in the newsroom, is the busy teletype machine which connects W RMC directly with United Press, and the record library which numbers its disks in the thousands. During the past year this outfit has welcomed those new personnel who passed periodic auditions to the announcing staff. Sports broadcasts were brilliantly performed by Phil Derick, enabling the station to bring athletic events home to those who couldnt get away to the games. With ten local sponsors, and such national sponsors as Lucky Strike Cigarettes, additional support for the station has come from RCA, Capitol, MGM and other recording companies that have supplied records at nominal cost. Increased reception has brought the stations programs, from Early Birds to Sleepy Time, to more students than ever before, while advance publicity waves the station flag to attract even more.

Yacht Club Lake Dunmore is the scene of more than the familiar parties - it's the outpost and racing grounds of the iVIiddIebury Yacht Club. Here the members can sail in the moonlight, roast hot dogs, and have friendly fun while they participate in the joy of their lives - sailing! The Club members have the use of Mrs. Brite ain's cabin and dock and have four fiber glass Tech. dingies. Besides just sailing for the fun of it, and getting together at Dunmore for the famous Yacht Club parties, there is a team of sailors who come pete in most of the Eastern intercollegiate races - and they have an excellent record. The competition is especially heavy in the spring - the Club holds a triangular meet at Dun- more, and a quadrangular regatta in iViarch. They participate in the Sharpe Cup Regatta at Brown University, and compete for the Boston Dinghy Cup at the Coast Guard Academy. April finds the sailors racing in a hexagonal regatta at Dartmouth. The freshmen sailors also compete for Midd. at MIT. Of course, the Commodore's Ball is one of the social highlights of the year during Homecoming Weekend, and the main social event of the club.

Flying Panthers The Flying Panthers, the flying Club of Mid- dlebury College is presently engaging in a reorgani- zation drive to bring new members into the club. Although the club has been on campus for a few years the interest in the club has never been too great. This year with old members numbering four and with one 1946 Aronca airplane that has been patched up following a slight accident last year, the club, now composed of ten members, is looking forward to Clearer skies. The club is fortunate in having a qualified flying instructor who spends most of his time at the airport. Besides this the rates for flying are low compared With most other areas and this means that the opportunity to learn how to fly is open to a greater number of people. Besides actual flying, the Club sponsors meete ings Where movies provide both an entertainment as well as an instructive value. The topics of these movies include actual flying procedure, airplane safety, and weather observations. Also in line for future meetings are guest lecturers who will give talks on varying phases of airplane flying. In the future there is the hope that interscholase tic flying meets can be arranged with other schools so that the members can gain increased knowledge in various flying conditions. Dickie, Mouiton, J. Armstrong. German Club Herr Neuse and a number of enthusiastic Ger- man students gain fun as well as valuable experi- ence while participating in Middis German Club. Through singing, games, and even bridge, they use the German they have learned in the classroom, and come to understand the people, the customs and the language better. Since Herr Neuse has just returned from Ger- many, the Club enjoyed seeing the slides of his trip. They also have German food, plays, and talks from faculty members 01 students who have actually been able to see Germany for themselves. They live, eat, and speak in the German custom, and have lots of fun doing it. A picnic on Chipman Hill with songs and games started off the year for 1e Cercle francais. During the year, 1e Chateau was the scene of many meetings at which interested students could speak French and learn the ways of the country. October brought the Guignol, the tiaditional French ehildrerfs theatre, and games for group participation. In November, a discussion of France and the year spent there was given by two of the seniors as the highlight of the program. The annual Christmas play was put on in Decem- ber, HThe Little Prince being this years produe tion. After the first of the year, there were slides and films by Dr. Freeman of his recent trip. Le Bal du Cercle was the highlight of the March meeting with 1e Sahara as the theme. The faculty put on its annual play in April and the year fin- ished with the Junior Take-Offs in May. French Club Cosmany Schultz. 56 Meeting monthly throughout the year, the Russian Club is designed to acquaint the students at the language with the customs and traditions of the country which would otherwise be omitted in classes. This aim leaves room for a lot of acti- vities, and the club has been working all year to achieve this goal. The meetings of the club this year featured skits, singing of folk songs, and dancing of peasant dances, typical of the country. At each meeting a different type of food was served, thus introducing members to Russian cooking, and the famous Russian tea was drunk from the traditional samovar. Films and lectures were presented from time to time to introduce the country and her people to the club members. In May the Russian Club finished up a suecessl'ul year with its annual Closing meeting. Russian Club Babbidge, Smith, Herring Murray, VVile, Nelson Spanish Club With its major aim being to give students an opportunity to converse in Spanish, and to get to know the customs of Spain, the Spanish Club started the year well with a native dinner at the home 01' the Sam Guarnaecias in September. Sub- sequently monthly meetings brought discussions and talks by students who had spent a year in Spain. The Christmas program was a highlight with a production of uEl Auto tle los Tres Reyes Magos, the traditional nativity play, and a party featuring a pinata. March saw the presentation of a one-act play, llLa Fabillia del Secreto Bien Guardadof, put on by the club for the whole Spanish Department. Other meetings held in- cluded Spanish songs and guitar music, and 0e- easional games for group activity. The year was successfully rounded-out with the annual bim- quet at the Dog Team.

Christian Association Hillel With the aim of developing Judaisnfs cul- tural and religious interest among Jewish stu- dents in American colleges and universities, the National Hillel established a chapter at Middle- bury. In this, its second year of existence, the chapter is an undoubted success, filling a need long unheeded on campus. With membership doubled from last year, the Hillel chapter here not only serves students but also has attracted enough local interest so that its meetings are held at Jewish homes in the community. Bimonthly meetings provide short services, sermons, and discussions led by students and guests to stimulate its members. Through Hillel, Jewish students were able to celebrate holidays such as Chanukah, the Festival of Lights, with a banquet at Bristol Inn, and High Holy Day at the U.V.M. Hillel services. Despite the necessity of being preoccupied with its own youthful strug- gles to survive and adjust to campus conditions, it has given 21 hand in the support of the religi- ous conference and has established :1 Hebrew class open to 2111 students. Newman Club THE BAND Directed by Mr. Gustav Foret and managv ed by William Davis, 156, the band began the year by playng at all the home, and most of the away football games. The bands member- ship during the football season was the high- est that it stood throughout the year, about forty-five. During the football season, the band in- troduced nThe Middlebury College March, an original composition by director Foret and officially accepted as the IVIiddlebury College song. Following the football season, the band be- gan its concert season. One of its first engage- ments was at the Wleeks School in Vergennes where it, accompanied by the VVomenis Glee Club, for the first time played music by mods ern composers. The program was very well re- ceived. THE MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE BAND As the year progressed, a wind ensemble was formed from the band. This ensemble, numbering about twenty, brought this yearis activities of the band to a close in the spring by playing at the Brandon State School and at the VVeCks School. THE BLACK PANTHERS 60 Music at Middlebury CHAMBER MUSIC GROUP This year the Chamber music group is a small string orchestra under the direction of Mr. Carter. They get together once a week, and mostly it is for their own enjoyment and relaxation. They have been working in con- junction with the small choir, hoping to be able to put on a program in Chapel of Bach. The group is mostly freshmen and a few people from Middlebury.

A1 Hayes, the Black Panthefs leader, ustv ally works with a quintet, although the size oi his group may range anywhere from a trio to a regular stock band. Vthn playing as a band, the Black Panthers are usually at their full strength of sixteen. The Black Panthers, who own quite an ex- tensive music library, play Dixieland and modern jazz almost entirely. Although they are heavy on reeds and horns, the Black Panth- crs arc able to produce very nearly any desired effect. Better known for their playing at Paternity parties, the Black Panthers also entertain at college functions at Middlebury as well as at local high schools and at other colleges such as Dartmouth, R.P.I. and St. Lawrence.

We drink to the Commodore, who gave us the ball, The decorations, the food, the music and all. The Catamounts, as usual, were really great, And so were the Dissipated Eight. In dissipated, langorous style, they told Of moonlight and love, all unchanged, as of old. As the hour of two approached we knew That we,d have to rush to imbibe more brew. The coeds left us with a margin of minutes, So goodnights were said within strictest limits. We felt we could dance and sing until light And we really hated to say goodnightf Sunday dawned a lovely day And as to Chapel we found our way Each in his heart and mind depicts Another Homecoming in the year 56. 71 Religion Conference: December I, 2, 3 This year the 1955 Religion Conference gave Midd-ites their third annual bout with the dif- ferent aspects of religion. The conference, which was held in Mead Chapel Dec. 1-3, had as its topic, Religious Symbolism in an Age of Criti- cism. The keynote speech was given by Rabbi Richard Rubenstein from Temple Israel in Matic, Massachusetts, who is the Hillel coun- selor for VVellesley College. The Rabbi stressed the point that symbolism today is as strong as it ever was four hundred years ago, in spite of historical criticism. He said that man, while searching for himself, turns to religion for the completion and integration that he needs. Man finds in religion a mutual sense of agreement with others who have been faced with his same problems. Prayer, Rabbi Rubenstein defined, as a communion of sharing in which the individual becomes aware of the depth of reality. The religious symbol is meaningful for us today be, cause it has given us a new insight into the com- plexity of man. Dr. Edmund La B. Cherbonnier, Who upv held the Protestant position, is a professor at Trinity College and a deacon at St. John the Divine in New York City. Dr. Cherbonnier dis- cussed the basic truth and efficacy of the his- torical Hebrevahristian symbol. He described the use of the symbol in mysticism as the special alley through which an individual might reach God. Because the symbol is ambiguous in that it both reflects and distorts truth, the only way The Rev. Edmund Cherbonnier speaking in Mead Chapel u N. Religion Symbolism in an Age of Criticism to avoid paradox is to keep symbols silent. The symbol has a dual function; it can recreate the thing that it represents, and it can help bring about the thing that it symbolizes. The representative of the Catholic faith was Dr. Philip J. Scharper, associate editor of the Catholic periodical, The Commonweal. Dr. Scharper talked about Hanalogy;y an aspect of being in which the one is reconciled with the many. Since analogy is a natural tendency of mankind, symbolism, which is an analogy when combined with language, is also common to man. He pointed out how the Church recon- ciles the many and the one by being the com- munity in which man can lose himself without losing his individuality. The speeches were followed by informal dis- cussion periods in the North lounge 0f Stu U., where the students were given a chance to ques- tion the speakers. For the three mornings that they were here, the speakers provided a break from regular Classroom routine by lecturing in various courses. The conference co-chairrnan, Bill McMurray, '57, and Debbie Sheppard, ,56, did an able job in organizing the 1955 conference. They were aid- ed by Gwynne Kimbell, ,56, conference secre- tary, a large student committee, and Chaplain Scott, all of whom deserve recognition for their hard work in making this conference successful. The sessions were well attended by the student body, and provoked a great deal of interest and thought in the aspects of religion which were presented.

My partner drop- ped me off at the Field House. I had to look into a basketball game. Middlebury looked good. They won. Maybe theres something in this carnival racket after all. At 6:17 I got a hot lead on some food at a fraternity house. That evening we ran a stake out on an ice show . . . it was cold. I flashed my combo ticket and went in.

I took an evening off and went to an in- formal buffet dinner and a formal dance. HOWv ever I found myself back in the middle of the case since this was still part of the carnival. The theme of the dance was IIOIympiC Eve, and from the students' mood I concluded that this man Lawrence must have had something. The backdrop of a winter scene gave perspective to the dance floor, and the gymnasium counterfeit- ed a star-covered ballroom. At 10:54 I got a final Clearing on the royal titles of Linda Donk and Ronald OIKeefe. They were crowned at 11:06 At 1:00 the dance was over, and I cruised around in my squad car checking 2:00 A.

But the EISA. was still at large. So I put in 3 C811 for my partner, and we headed out for the jazz concerts. The Spring Street Stompers and the Dukes of Dixie got up a large racket which threw the dazed crowds into oblivion. - - -THE nwnnDs---nmo.-rpnr'?5 WIT! Sunday morning the campus was white and dead.

For the mere presentation of an ID card, Middlebury students are introduced to a panorama of liter- ary, musical, dramatic, and artistic talent which would otherwise be 'unavailable to students in the small liberal arts college, The first of the six programs for the 195556 season was presented on Oct. 16 by the Canadian Players of Stratford, Ontario. Through their in- novations of simple lighting and sound equip ment, modem actors in modern dress, the play- ers brought Bernard Shawis iiSaint Joaniy to new heights. It was received enthusiastically by the audience who were both startled and delighted by their refreshing presentation. This successful program was followed by a piano concert on Dec. 4 offered by Cyorgy Sam dor. He, too, was enthusiastically received by the Middlebury audience. SandorTs proficiency unit ed with his youthful and warm personality to give a memorable performance on the keyboard. Jan. 15, found Olga Coelho, renowned Bra- zilian soprano, at Middlebury. Miss Coelho dee lighted the audience with her foreign accent, scintillating voice and personal Charm. As a StUe dent of the famed guitarist Segovia, Miss Coelho was an Object of special attention on campus e and she did not let her audience down. The fourth feature. in a series was presented by the Italian ensemble, I Niusici, who gave a program of Chamber music on Feb. 5. March 11, Found Jacob Lawerence, who has recently tied for the United Nations Mural Award, at Mide dlebury. He gave a demonstration lecture, deal- ing primarily with his paintings of the western hemisphere. The last performance of the season took place on April 22, with the annual concert of the Vet, mont State Symphony Orchestra, which is con ducted by h'liddleburyis Mr. Alan Carter. This performance brought the concert-Iecture series to 21 successful close. Conced Lecture enies Gyorgy Sandor, Pianist Canadian Players in Rehearsal Raymond English Speaking at Summary Session Weather 01' not, Middleburyk fourteenth annual Culture COnFerenee, 0n the uNew Con- servatism? succeeded in holding the interest and attention of those who attended. Although a major snow storm prevented Associate Justice of the Supreme Court William 0. Douglas and Max Lerner, author and professor of American Civilization at Brandeis University, from ex- pressing the liberal position, nevertheless caree ful planning and quick action by Edward Sch- werdtle and Leigh Updike, conference CO-Chaire ment resulted in a very adequate definition of the new trend toward conservatism. Lack of expert opposition by no means hinv dered the expositions 0f the conservative speak- ers however, although protesting voices might have clarified them somewhat. Gordon Keith Chalmers, president of Kenyon College, and Clinton Rossiter, professor of government at Cornell University, presented their formal speeches to 21 receptive audience on Saturday morning at the High School Gymnasium under FMDDL an altered schedule, Raymond English, profes- sor of political science at Kenyon College, join- ed the ranks on Saturday afternoon in an unv scheduled speech Which prompted enthusiastic acclaim and which proved to be the most entere taining 0f the three, enhanced by ready humor, Oxonian dialoque, and a Van Dyke 0f distino tlon. In the morning session, an analysis Of the HNew Conservatism was applied to education and politics. Chalmers, addressing himself to hLiberty and the Aims of Educationf brought to light the fine hairline between liberalism and current conservatism, a difference which seems to be one of tempo. Stressing the allepervasive influence of conservatism, he applied this dis; tinction to liberal and conservative conceptions of freedom, which represent to him the essence of the two schools. He further painted the pic- ture of what he termed iitraditional conservative theses : excess of democracy; and restrained in- dividual freedom. Pursuing the former, he for- iBURV The New Conservatism muiated an equation of self-resttained democracy, Characterizing the true value of freedom as it could readily be understood by the audience; however, there was a feeling that these views did not set too well in the college Climate. Rossiteris speech, by far the most dynamic expressed in the conservative corner, bridged conservative political theory and practice. De- fining degrees of conservatism, as he did in his recent book Conservatism in America, he adeptiy categorized the reactionary type. Rossiter Classes himself in the middle ground, apparently as he does his key figure in the American conservative field, Dwight D. Eisenhower. Basing his expla- nation of the conservative movement on a less philosophical plane than did Chalmers, he ad- duced that the current trend had possibilities of becoming a stabilizing influence When applied to the everyday problems of man. English was the last of the conservatives, and Clinton Rossiter speaking before Saturday morning audience brought his general impressions of the impiica- tions of the movement to hear on iiThe Doctrine of Revolt? Prepared for the worst, as all good Britishers are through conditioning, he seemed delighted to find an intellectual trend in the U. 8., especially one of the Vigor which he die Vines in the iiNeW Conservatism? Apparently, continuing American liberalism is to him tradi- tionalism 0f the worst variety. A panel discussion, moderated by Robert Babcock, professor of political science at the University Of Vermont, marked the beginning of the end for the liberal cause and the confer ence as a whole Mr. Beauchesne, Middlebury instructor of political science, filled in to de- fend the liberal standard, and evened the in equality a little. Amidst interesting argument among those Who had, as a result Of the 1956 Conference, apprehended a clearer definition of the iiNew Conservatism? the conference ended, to await an earlier spring next year.

Standing: Sanders, Wile, Hoen, Telfer, Baier, Maynard, Taylor, Merrill. The Interfraternity Council is an organization consisting of two repre- sentatives from each of the fraternities. It is designed to promote cooperation and good will among the fraternities and between the fraternities and the town and the administration. In its work among the fraternities, such duties as supervising all rushing activity and regulating intramural athletics stand high on the list. This past year has seen many added responsibilities taken on by the I.F.C. A Social Council consisting of the social chairman of the ten houses was formed. This was prompted by the increased need of a concentrated study of social activities. I.F.C. Guides were used for the first time last year. Working in cooperation with the Office of Admissions, these people show prospective Freshmen the campus. A Pledge Trainers Council for house Pledge Trainers was established to study the methods of pledging. Participa- tion with the Panhellenic Council as seen in the presentation of the Fresh- man Dance, Greek Night, and joint sponsorship by the sororities and fra- ternities 0f the Christmas parties for underprivileged Children were two more responsibilities of the LFC. new to the College scene. The Interfraternity Council made a new departure last year from first to second semester rushing. The new rushing schedule which will first be used in the second semester of the 1956-57 school year was passed by an 8-2 vote. As can be seen, the Interfraternity Councills absence last year as in pre- vious years would have been sorely felt, for it is the heart of the Middlebury College Fraternity system. 92 Alpha Sigma Ps Alpha Sigma Psi has settled down for its second year in the Healy manse . . .

Their leadership was well- represented in such organizations as the IFC, MUA, WRMC, debating, Skyline, Band, and various other phases of campus life. We particie pated in the Bowdoin Plan With Dick Kim as their guest first semester and Conrad Schultz the second. Along with Sigma Kappa, they brought Santa Claus t0 the children at Caverly Preventorium in Pittsfield, Vermont, and also held their Help Week project at Caverly. They socially enjoyed a formal dinner at the Inn on the night of Carnival Ball, and a Spring Formal at the Dog Team. In essence, a hard-working, fun-loving, fraternity-minded crew. Chi Psi Continued close brotherhood and high spirit remained paramount in a well-integrated group of responsible men at Mu. Campus activities, varsities, intramurals, helpweek projects, carol sings e showed high itBiJ participation. Parking problem alleviated by college facilities, orderly disorder at mealtimes prevailed, and the social hooper rating blew its top on U.V.M., Beache comberis Brawl, Carnival, and Junior VVeek-end. Through the close coordination of the Schaefere Gilmore Subeinvestigating Committee, TV. at long last came to the Lodge. Another year, an- other group, and more fun fostered in a congenie aI atmosphere. Thus the administration of jus- tice continued to be ably dealt out to the Chip- sies by Schwerdtle, Powell, Thomas and Brig; ham, with Mr. Kay, finding a way to their hearts through their stomachs. 95 DeHh Kappa EpsHon Socially and athletically, the Deke House ex- perienced one of its best years. Social festivities got off to a roaring start with a rollicking Home- coming Weekend 21s the Dukes of Dixie provid- ed the music, and a kegoff, now a Deke tradi- tion, preceded the game with Williams. Next on the calendar came the infamous toga party which proved to be an eye-opening event and an overwhelming success. It should become an annual fall event at the South Main Street residence. UVM Weekend saw the Dekes Close out the fall social season with another big blast. Varsity captains in basketball and golf, plus a considerable number of letter men were the Dekes contributions to sports. The house held its own in intramurals. A good year at Deke for 55356. DeHa UpsHon 96 1956 is D.U.ls red letter year - this Spring marks the 100th anniversary of the Middlebury chapter of D.U. In celebration of this event the Middlebury chapter will be host to the na- tional convention of Delta Upsilon. The house has been extensively redecorated and the brothers have made preparation to receive delegates from seventy-four Chapters throughout the United States and Canada. On campus this year, DU is the proud possessor of the Trophy of Trophies, and we are happy to claim four varsity captains. The social calendar has included buffet sup- pers, informal dances and jazz concerts; and donlt forget the Barroom Brawl and Halpin Falls. Members of the house have been active in extra-curricular activities representing Midd in almost all of her activities.

During the fall mud season, Rick Raskopf provided us with the Spring Street Stompers of Carnegie Hall fame; in the Spring mud season we expected nothing less than Louis Armstrong, right in our own living room. Fortun ately we had blushing Kim Mann as President to restrain Rick from mortgaging the house For the sake of jazz. W hen the mud was replaced by snow, KDR quickly turned to the job of putting a few of the Ski Patrol men into an improved physical state. They never quite got into shape, probably because even the smallest piece of Mrs. WFS chocolate pie contains more calories than Stim- son, Rice, Middleton, or Fitzgerald really needed.

Our abode got a new coat of paint and the parking lot got forty tons of crushed marble. Yes indeed, the intramural champs have expounded their eX- Cess energy well. To relieve the tensions of reno- vation and innovation, there was the usual round of superlative social functions including an un- forgettable U.V.M. weekend and an unsurpassed Spring Formal. In the Spring Halpin Fails re- ceived its share of nature loving iiTCXs those that were not making tennis history for Midd, that is. The year ended with two dogs, and one exhausted but satisfied cat. In less than a month after its organization, the Atwater Club became an active part of campus life. The fall semester found it complete- ly equipped with a newly redecorated house, dining facilities, and a house mother. Atwater House opens its membership to all non-fraternity men regardless of race, color, creed, or economic status. The Club prides it- self on the variety of its program, which is de- signed to attract the widest possible range of members. Club members point with pride to a fall social schedule including Autumn Leaves, Spain, and many other weekend activities, in addition, to their number one scholastic standing.

Under the leadership of President Margaret Straus and Secretary-Treasurer Charlotte Duryea, Panhell has kept to the fore standards of the national or- ganization - good scholarship, good health, whole hearted co-operation with the College ideals for student life, fine social standards and service to the college community - while attempting to strengthen the position of the Council in Campus activities. Dead groups asserted a Campus editorial, and the Greeks responded with a new and more active social program which emphasized better IFC- Panhell relations. Using Panhell as a sounding board, each sorority considered ways and means toward self-improvement. Discussions gave rise to ideas which were carried into action, such as the sorority open houses for the whole college including faculty and administration. Meanwhile, Panheli got together with IFC to form a new tradition F a dance for the freshmen, held early in the tail to the music of the Vermonters. Another change came with Santa Claus - replacing the traditional fraternity Christmas parties with joint IFC-Panhell parties for the underprivileged children of Middlebury. There was much discussion of ideas for future PanheHeIFC co-operation. Then there was the annual sorority serenade for the freshmen and the Cider Cession, a gathering to explain the functions and costs of hdiddiebury sororities. Foremost in the new ideas area, however, were alterations in rushe ing. With the schedule cut down to five weeks, there was a great deal of con- centrated activity at the beginning of the period. A Panheli formal tea pre- sented the opportunity for freshmen to ask questions about sororities. A fee was levied on those freshmen going through rushing to cover the increased cost of rushing. Perhaps the major innovation was the Open Smokers that took place after first parties, enabling the girls to visit sororities in which thev were in terested regardless of previous invitations and also giving the rushees a chance to indicate their preferences to the sororities. iiWe feel that we have made an important start? says Margaret Straus, iihut there are a great manv more improvements still to be made.

ATHLETICS - FALL, WINTER, SPRING, ON THE FIELD, THE RINK COURT, A SOURCE OF ENJOYMENT FOR ALL. WHETHER AS AN ACTIVE PARTI- CIPANT OR ONE OF THE MANY IN THE CHEERING SECTION. Football The great improvement shown by the Panthr ers between the opening and closing Saturdays of the 1955 season seems to provide the seasons highlight. With Seniors Benz, Nlurdock, Worth- ington, Morris, and Captain Philbin showing the way, lVliddlebury compiled a 3440 season, defeating Norwich in a big upset and giving U.V.M. an extremely hard fight. At Middletown, Connecticut on September 24th in the seasons opener the Panthers dropped 21 140 game to a good Wesleyan eleven in a game played under extremely bad C0nditi0ns. The loss of Tirone in a pre-season scrimmage hampered the ground game greatly and this, plus the loss of ace signal caller, Captain Mike Phil- bin, during the game made the squadis task all the more difficult. On October lst at Waterville, Maine, Midd chalked up their initial win of the year, defeat- ing the Colby Bears 2018. Floreal Lavin and Pete Cooper sparked the Panthers, With Lavin gaining constantly through the Bear line and around the ends all afternoon, and it was his long run late in the game which brought the Panthers Victory. Cooper registered the other two touch- downs on short plunges. Williams College came to Porter Field to initiate the Homecoming Weekend festivities and left the field on the long end of a 26-0 count. Middlebury played a fine first half, hold- ing the powerful Ephmen scoreless. In the sec- ond half the line faded, due to lack of experienc- ed reserve strength. Bates was the next foe 0f the Panthers and the former wound up on the long end of a 12-7 tally. The Blue and White scored late in the fourth period on a well executed 34 yard pass play from Pete Cooper to Milt Peterson.

In this game two freshmen, Jim Bal- lard and Dick Thomas, stood out, and from this point on the freshmen 0f the squad were to prove highly valuable in the late season improvement of the team. Thomas opened the scoring, taking an 8 yard pass from Pete Cooper. Then Mike Philbin went 57 yards on a well executed re- verse play. Jim Ballard closed the scoring by tal- lying on a 75 yard punt return. Milt Peterson, John Hall, and freshman Bill Ryan played fine games on the forward wall. At Northfield, Vermont, on the 29th, the Panthers produced such an excellent brand of Football that they upset a favored N orwich eleven by a score of 7-0. Bill Holmes, Pete Cooper, Jim Ballard, and Rog Tirone did some fine running For Middlebury With Tirone scoring the win- ning touchdown on a 1 yard plunge after Jake Hopkins had recovered a fumble. Mark Benz, John Hall, Jim Witham and Dick Fusco stood out in the line play. In the season finale at Porter Field the Panth- ers dropped a hard fought, evenly matched battle to the U.V.M. Catamounts 6-0. Middlebury play- ed their best defensive game of the season, con- taining the rushes 0f Beck and company most effectively all afternoon. John Hall played a stely lat defensive game and averaged better than 40 yards per kick in the game. Dick Worthington also stood out in the backfield being the team workhorse until he was injured late in the game. Captain Mike Philbin also turned in a fine per- Formance in his last Varsity game, as did Mark Benz. Football Finals MIDDLEBURY O; WESLEYAN 14 Panthers hampered by mud. Unable to get attack started. Wet ball prevents Panther aerial game from working smoothly. Tirone injured, misses opening encounter. MIDDLEBURY 20; COLBY 19 Panthers register first Win showing fine ground game.

MIDDLEBURY 21; R.P.I. 0 Squad regains Winning ways as Philbin and Ballard score on long runs, While freshman Dick Thomas takes eight yard Cooper pass for other score. Ryan, Peterson, and Hall stand out in line. MIDDLEBUBY 7; NORWICH 0 Panthers upset Cadets by playing their finest game to date. Hopkins recovers key fumble to set up Tironeis plunge for lone score. Tirone, Holmes, Cooper, and Ballard outstanding in the backfield, Benz, Hail, Witham, and Fusco in the line. MIDDLEBURY 0; V ERMONT 6 Panthers play best game of season in Porter Field mud. Worthington plays bril- liantly in his last game before being injured; Hall also is defensive bulwark and punts extremely well. Lacrosse Lacrosse was one of the Springs most suc- cessful sports at Midd. The stickmen, coached by Duke Nelson and captained by Hap Freeman, ground out four straight Victories at the yeafs end before being upended by the powerful Wild- cats of New Hampshire. The lacrossemen returned from a rough southern practice trip and dropped an 11-7 de- cision to Union, lack of condition making the difference. Dartmouth then hung a 16-4 loss on the Panthers. However, the stickmen were off and running as Dick Worthington netted seven in a 16-2 win over VV.P.1. Midd next edged Hamilton, 11-6. Harvard ran into the hungry Panthers and led briefly. But the stickmen took the lead in the second period and bloodied the Crimson by 12-7. Worthington had six goals in the upset victory. The University of Massachu- setts was the next to go, as the Panthers rang the 120 bell for the fourth consecutive time in pounding their hosts, 11-4. Midd,s lacrosse squad, with a 4-4 record, was ranked second out of the eight teams in the New England Intercollegiate Lacrosse League.

The squad began the campaign with a veteran line and two proven fullbaeks. However, the lack of an experienced goalie, coupled with an overall depth problem which was magnified in the halfe back slots, gave the Panthers some rough sled- ding at the start. The hooters broke out of a lose-win rut when they banged in nine goals to their opponents one in sweeping their final two games. Previous- ly the Panthers had spaced 4-1 victories over Clarkson and New England between losses to Colgate C705, Union Bell and Plattsburg C305. During the final week of the season, how- ever, the squad pulled themselves out of the red with two decisive wins. After ripping Albany State, 4-1, Midd traveled to New London and trampled the U. S. Coast Guard Academy, 5-0. 121 A new coach, Thomas Reynolds, fashioned a welleoiled, smooth-working team out of what seemed like little more than Chaos after the first game. Perhaps there was nowhere to go except up, but offense and defense alike pulled them- selves together and the team as a whole showed nothing but improvement thereafter. John Nich- ols took over the goal and allowed only slightly more than one goal per game. Captain Si March- and and Gil Partch turned into iron men at the Fullback slots. Rich Miner proved himself indisv pensable at center half. Linemen Burt Emory, Kit Cain, Scotty Greer, Ewart Thomas, Otto Albers, and Alex Carley developed into a swift moving, high scoring unit. 1955 was a successful season for the hooters, not only in compiling a winning record, but in showing enough pluck to rebound from a poor start.

Herb Urbach, Jim Evans, and Tom Burr were others who did their bit to make this 21 great basketball squad. For the second straight year Coach TiDukeT Nelson faced a loss of key players, but still man- aged to put a good team on the ice which could stay with most opposition. He had to vary his lineup with the loss of regular defenseman Bern Bouvicr and Rollie Sehopp to come up with a winning combination. The team opened their season over the Thanksgiving recess, and dropped a 6-2 decision to Michigan State at Canton, New York. Pete Bostwick provided the scoring on assists from Mike Karin. In a warm-up game the pueksters walloped the Montreal AAA 6-3 with Captain Ron OiKeefe showing the way with the hat trick. The opening Tri-State game against R.P.I. was a closely fought contest at the Field House, but the Engineers came away with a 7-4 win. Journeying to Cambridge, the Panthers were shut out by a tough Harvard club, 3-0. Two quick goals in the First period were the difference here in a game in which Rollie Schopp and Ken Farrar stood out on defense. The Boston Univer- sity game, which was to have been played the night before, was canceled due to a car accident which injured Jerry Lenz and Bill Ryan, and took the life of goaltender Buff Bermas. The pucksters then bounced back to win five straight. They beat Northeastern, Dartmouth, Hamilton, Williams, and Norwich with O,KeeFe, Karin, Dollar, and Carley doing the bulk of the scoring. Army provided a 2-1 upset to snap the win- ning streak by dawning the Nelsonmen in sud- den-death overtime. The rough trip into New York State follow- ed resulting in losses to powerful St. Lawrence and Clarkson. Six goals in the first period killed any chance Middlebury had against the Larries. A surprisingly strong showing was made against the Knights the following night as Midd was out- scored 6-2. The Amherst game was limited to two periods by show, and the Panthers came through with a shutout, 3-0. Ken Kouri provided the scoring punch against the Cadets from Norwich, scoring four times in an easy 5-1 win. For the second straight year the team lost the Carnival game to Dartmouth.

The margin in the Dartmouth Carnival was a scant .1 Of a point, while in the lVliddlebury Carnival the Indians margin was .4 of a point. Captain Jack Beattie, a superb four event man, paced the squad and captured skimeister honors at the Dartmouth Carnival. Marcel Cote, another four event man and Norm Cummings were the big men in the Alpine events while Frank Hurt, Pete Lahdenpera and Dave Doug- lass collected points in cross country. Coach Bob Beattie who took over when Bobo Sheehan left for the Olympics shaped the team well considering the loss of three of the top tour event men from last year's squad. Although the hickorymen did lose grasp of their three year hold on the Eastern Collegiate title their all round performance was bright. In late March the team plans to send seven men to the NCAA national championship meet at Winter Park, Colorado. The team earned the right to compete in the meet by being ranked among the top five teams in the Eastern Collegi- ate Ski Association. The Panther team will com- pete with more than fifteen others in what should be the top meet of the year.

Ski When the Pomalift came to the Snow Bowl two years ago this ski area became more come mercial and started to attract many more skiers from all over New England. The need for good 0 and first aid has been trails, controlled skiinh, handled in fine manner by our Middlebury Col- lege Ski Patrol. The president of this group is Dike Stimson, and working with him are many fine patrolmen. The patrolman is always on the job, looking for any sign of mishap, warning skiers of bad con- ditions, and at all times ready for any type of emergency. Cote, 'l hird Row: Locke, Simmsy lVliner, Patrol 123 The ski patrol assumes the responsibility for all students while they ski at the Bowl. It is registered and organized under the National Ski Patrol. Under this organization each patrolman covers a section of the trail. There are also equip- ped toboggans and field telephones to aid in speedy first aid. From the work done at the Snow Bowl this year this group should be commended for a job well done, for the students and for the reputa- tion of all Middlebury College. Coach Browns Cinder squad completed their season with a 2-3 dual meet record recording Vic- tories over Norwich and Union while dropping decisions to Williams, Trinity, and R.P.I. Mid- dlebury finished second in state competition be- hind a powerful Vermont squad. The loss of Sonny Dennis due to a leg injury sustained in the basketball season took away a big point winner, but the addition of Tom Hart to the team offset this. Hart established Middle- bury records in the high jump and pole vault. He also provided the top individual performance by winning both the EICAA and NEICAA high jumps. Capt Bob Webb placedjn the dashes consist- ently throughout the season while Pete Redman, John Field, Rich Miner, Charlie Sykes, and Bill Holmes were consistent point getters. Track Williams provided too much all-around bal- ance in winning 88-47. Tom Hart set his school pole vault record here, and Rich Miner was the only other winner; in the hurdles. Norwich pro- vided weak competition and fell 8946. Hart gathered 21 points himself by winning three events. Webb and Redman were double winners. A quadrangular meet at Bates was next, the Midd team placing third behind Bates and Ver- mont. Hart, Webb, and Sykes were winners. A trip to Hartford resulted in a 59-47 loss to Trinity despite a sweep of the hurdles, hundred yard dash, 220 yard dash, and four firsts for Hart. The 68-58 loss to R.P.I was another Hart Day as he took four events. Webb and Redman were also winners. In the final dual meet of the season the tracksters won a Close one over Union 64-61.

P:mv-nwa-wym,vw,t ,. m t Bad weather delayed the start of the 1955 baseball season for Bobo Sheehanls Middlebury Panthers when the scheduled opener against American International College was postponed but the team swung into action the following week with a three day trip to Massachusetts and New York. The University of Massachusetts Redmen shut out Middlebury 5 to O in the first game and the next day Williams doubled the score against 1V1idd, 12 to 6. Jerry Lenz, a freshman starting his first game From the mound led the Panthers to their first Victory of the year, 7 to 2, over R131. at Troy. In other games, outside of the Vermont State competition, Middlebury edged Union at Sche- nectady 2 to 1, once again behind the pitching of left-hander Lenz. The Wesleyan Cardinals trounced Middlebury 10 to 3 in 1VIiddletown, Connecticut whi1e St. Lawrence came to Porter Field andy using two pitchers to stifle a Middle bury rally in the fifth inning, managed a 7 to 5 win. American International College and Clark son were the other two non-state opponents. A.1.C. tripped Midd 6 to 4 while the Engineers fell Victim to the Panthers, 11 to 2. 1n state games Middlebury defeated St. Michaelk twice, 11 to 7 and 10 to 7, and Nor- wich once 10 to 9 in twelve innings. The Cadets were victors in the first meeting of the teams, 8 t0 2, when Jim Wagner doubled into left-centcr 130 field for the only hit off hurler Jim Poach. The Vermont Catamounts beat the Panthers twice, 5 to 4 at Porter Field and 4 to O in the seasons finale played at Burlingtonls Centenniel Field. Wagner, playing shortstop, established the ClUbTS best batting average with .375 while third baseman Bob Keating, next years captain, was the only other .300 hitter with a .321 percentage. Lenz played the outfield when not working from the mound and hit .286 and Captain Dick Makin paced the team in runs-battedein with 12 while hitting .231. Charlie Smith and Pete Read registered 1 and 4, and 3 and 4 win-loss pitching records. Smith got his win against Norwich whi1e Read beat Clarkson once and St. Michaells twice. Junior Roger Tirone batted .208 and handled the backstop duties as Tom Seamans and Bill Ellis occupied the other infield positions at First and second base. Cy Antindsen, when not in right field, also worked at the first sack while freshman Bob Katz gained experience at second. Makin patrolled the outfield with Smith and Lenz, who alternated at center, and Anfindsen in right. Makin is the only loss through graduation for the team so there will be many veterans ree turning to the line-up in 1956 and if experience is any factor, Middlebury should have a good chance to better this seasons 6 and 8 record.

Facing an extremely difficult eleven match schedule the Panthers posted a sparkling 10-1 slate for the season. The 0n1y 1055 was a 5-4 defeat by a strong Dartmouth squad, which was one of the Eastys best teams. The Panthers registered several notable vic- tories, particularly an impressive 5-4 victory over strong Wes1eyan, a 6-3 win over Trinitys fine Club, 9-0 defeat of Tufts and Massachusetts, plus 6-3 and 7-2 wins over RPI and Union The state title was retained by Virtue of 5-4 and 7-2 wins over Vermont. Midd had a very well-balanced squad with capable reserves. One of the seasons highlights proved to be Pete Bostwicks consistently brilliant play. Bostwick, a freshman, won all of his indi- vidual matches while p1aying number one man, and he and another freshman, Seab Brady, went through the campaign undefeated in doubles competition. Captain Spike Heminway turned in many brilliant performances as did Bi11 Breed, Bob Beattie, Vern Gray and Brady. The squad suffered three serious losses in Captain Hemin- ways, Beattie and Mal Davidson. The coming season Coach Merriman will have some good veterans plus some good freshmen which should be the makings of another fine team. Front Row: Bostwick, Heminway, Breed, Davidson.

TO SEMINAR; THROUGH ORIENTATION, THE SLUMP, THE HALFWAY POINT, TWO MORE YEARS OF WORK AND FUN, AND THEN GRADUATION. Roberts, Erbe, Capp. The Freshmen Several days before the beginning of classes, we began to get into the swing of things by par- ticipating in Freshman Week? The Mountain Club outing at Breadloaf, along with the Midd- Nite variety show, and the Blue Key sponsored Freshman Dance in McCullough Gym were highlights of the week-long program. The men quickly learned of the functions of the Blue Key headed by Edward MacDowell. They learned to wear beanies at all times, to avoid Sophomore Walk, and to respect the up- perclassmen. Every so often, the Blue Key would hold a nocturnal song fest 0n the Chapel steps with the men of the class 0f 59 being the un- willing participants. The women went through their share of hazing, but in a much more concentrated form. To accomplish this, the Sophomore women sup- ervised an activity called Hell Week. The men went through rushing first, the fra- 140 Seated: Lavery, Gerhart, Baird, Wagner. Standing: Payne, McKnight. - SQers ternities' program being held during the first semester. The women followed suit in the second semester. This years Freshman Dance, the first Class project, was Greek night, and a resounding sue cess. As the year slipped away, we enjoyed for the first time such events as the A.M.B. Dance, U.V.M. Weekend, the Twenty-fifth Annual Winter Carnival and Junior Weekend. Pre-Ak were a new experience, at first dreaded, but later on just another part of our new life at Midd. Finals were not so easily aC- Cepted, although they were soon finished, and the second semester brought with it a completely new start. Skiing and skating were quickly followed by baseball and tennis. Finals were upon us again. After they were over, we could look back upon a very pleasant and profitable year, and forward to three more like it. Class of 1958 - The Sophomores June, 1955 - exams? . . . well, most of us are here again. A few have picked up their toys and left . . . but most of us have come back to face it all again . . . face what? . . . what else but SOPHOMORE SLUlVlPI . . . and we werenit left out of the tradition either. We can study harder . . . do less socializing . . . get worse marks than ever before without any difficulty at all. We managed to get our fingers in every pie . . . every one we missed last year we hit this year. Many have graduated from apprentices to sup- porting roles, and we even have a few heroes thrown in. Sophis begin to take an active part in sorority and fraternity life. This year were in on the other side of rushing and hell week . . . which is worse? Many have become excellent painters, carpenters, and general handymen and repairmen. This shining group is also following along closely in the rather large footsteps of their upperclassmen. Joint council government was initiated with the great approval of both sides of the campus. Under the very able leadership of former leaders Richard Maider and Margaret McCoy, all this took place. The big Sophomore bonanza was their spring outing to Cove Point . . . dancing in the dark . . . all we needed was rain . . . and midnight dinner for two - no, it was a little more involved than that. The female half of the campus continued to participate in the rather worn out tradition of Hell Week, but it was really quite enjoyable for all. The Sopho- mores had to go to more trouble and do more dressing up than the freshmen . . . whose Hell Week was it? On the menis campus dont think the sophomore men didnit take great glee in questioning a freshman on the whereabouts of his beanie. When we get down to the finer things of life weive been getting those too . . . numerous engagement rings and pins seem to he sprouting in our class. What else can we con- clude from this, but one great year. First Row: MacGowan, Johnson, Maider, McCoyy Davis, Bigelow7 Legler.

The Juniors The Class of ,57, having dashed through freshman orientation, and sophomore slump, found itself nearing the three-quarter mark. And what a year of innovations this one promised to be! 5556 found the women housed in Pearsons and Center, mixed dorms - a new trend at Midd. After working diligently, our sophomore officers had produced a constitution creating a co-ed form of government to be composed of a mixed council H a landmark in Middls under- graduate governmental history. Carried through to this our junior year, the Junior Council breez- ed enthusiastically off to a promising start, led by Wayne Reilly, its Chairman, and Heather Hamilton, Vice-Chairman. September and October saw the juniors get- ting back into the swing of things e- pre-als and papers, and the junior counselors and the fresh- men orienting each other . . . We started Thanks- giving vacation off with a bang, stamping 0111' feet to the Old Chapel Six, sponsored by the Junior Class, the night before journeying home?

Freshman year with its indoctrination and adjustment now seems a vague recollection. Sophomore year remains somewhat vivid in our memory as the year when we first felt that we were really members of a college community. Junior year stands out as the time when we were almost seniors and now, here we are, about to graduate. Senior year has brought with it responsibility as we assumed our role as the leaders on campus e President of Blue Key, President of Student Government, Co-Chairmen of Carnival and Con- ference, Presidents of the sororities and fraterni- ties. It has also been a year Of seminars, of study, but extra-curricular activities and social life have balanced in to make this year one of the most in- teresting and gratifying times of our college career. This fall when we arrived as seniors we 1413 found it hard to believe that we had finally reached the last year of college. Senior women carried their canes and senior men led Blue Key in their freshmen hazing. Now we realize more fully that this is our last year. We have tried to do everything - skiing, concert lecture series, conference weekends - for we know that this is our final Chance as students to enjoy these aspects of Midd life. The Placement Office begins to do a rush business as many of us become aware of the fact that we must work next year. Comprehensive approach and the dorms quiet down. Books from the past three years are dusted and opened as we try to cram four years of knowledge into our heads. And now its June, graduation weekend with Class Day, Baccalaureate and Commencement. VVeve finally made it and even though many of us may never admit it, we are honestly sorry to be leaving. JANE HEDLEY AFFLECK Yonkers, New York Psychology: VV.A.A.; Glee Club.

Homecoming weekend rolled around but unlike the Yankees, we lost our game . . . fraternity rushing came and went giving 152 new lraternity men . . . UVM weekend was the same as always . . . we won, of course, 7-0 . . .

How time flies: u v I' S.OH Sums?

W hen Judy Kirby was named first honorary cadet colonel a new tradition was established at iVIiddle- bury. In the fall of this year, this tradition was furthered with the presentation of the First Annual Military Ball. At this formal dance, sponsored by the Guards, candidates for the honorary position, chosen by 21 faculty committee from a group named by R.O.T.C. companies, were escorted to the bandw stand by an honor guard complete with sabers. All the pomp and circumstance of the military were presented, as Gail Knight was named honorary cadet colonel. Lynne Atherton, Barbara Bennett, and Katherine Leetch were, at the same time, pre sented with certificates granting to them the rank of honorary cadet majors.
