Vih are happy to have ou present at our graduation and we wish to express tc you our appreciation for your efforts toward our education. We hope that you feel that you have been repaid in some slight measure for your interest in us. Tonight I have chosen to tell you a little about one of America's leading citizens whose loss the country feels deeply. William Howard Taft has served his country faith- fully as first civil governor of the Philippine Islands, Secretary of War in the cabinet of President Roosevelt, provincial governor of Cuba, President of the United States and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Mr. Taft was a native of Ohio. He had a brilliant career at Yale University and at Cincinnati Law School. After his graduation, he practiced law for several years ' until he was called upon tc go to the Philippine Islands as the first governor. This was by no wears an easy task for any man to un- dertake. Mr. Taft oaia that he knew nothing about the government of such a group of islands and the people of the U. S. knew little more- Ha ever. Mr. Taft did what he believed was fox tre interest of the people living in the Philippine Islands as wel?. as for the interest of the peo- ple of the U. S. He was recallsi from his governorship by President Roosevelt to act as Secretary of 7.!ar in the Cabinet. After he had completed this task, the next demand upon Mr. Taft Salutatory Address 'ey his country was to act as provincial governor of Cuba. When he returned from Cuba, he was elected President of the United States. With the presidency, Mr. Taft inherited many dif- ficulties. His Character was brought to the fare dur- ing and after his presidency, and upon inspection v e see that he was a man who was kind, sympathetic, char- able and friendly. There was a simplicity about Mr. Taft which won for him many friends as well as the trust ana confidence of the American people. Mr. Taft was more truly democratic than any other president whom we have had. We worked for the better- ment of his country not only during his presidency but also curing his entire life. During his term of office the United States Postal Savings system was inaugurated and the Federal Childrens Bureau was established. Like every one else though Mr. Taft had his faults. He was too easy going and there was about him a certain lack of discipline ari energy. He was like many of us, who, vh;n here some 'unpleasant task ahead of us, put if off as lorg as u- can Another fault of iir Taft's was that he brought too much of the duliviratenese of the judge into his presid- ency. The president should be a man who can decide a question in a short time but Mr. Taft was not one of these men. On the other hand he was .. mar wh i was i.et moved by public opinion. lie cid +fce f ir.ee which seemed to him to Salutatory Address he right aria whirl- ho ''elie ed .me fox toe better- ment of his country, even t cudo •© ?xr of Sr. 3 re- jected to severe unpopularid . This cd-jrg-� ±cra r another quality of which Ur. Taft had a goodly •Mount. The quality is courage. Ho is noted for his courage to upocla his opinions. While there was nothing striking about Mr. Taft's sidency, there was certainly nothing of a low tone a'.out it. During his term of office he trioa to keep - group of men s-.c ut aim wno were of corroproachable enc-ractor. In spite of these qualities, Mr. Taft failed to .� in he favor of his countrymen and in his candidacy for re-si otio 1, he was overwhelmingly defeated. During this period of unpopularity, Mr. Taft ac- c-pfced a professorship at ynle University where he re- gain'd the fa ar which he had lest during his term of office. He diu or a accepting Lis defeat as a turn of e..t and by no-. oapls ining of his loss. He showed no sign of resentment toward his countrymen hut on the contrary he ..as still re.-.ay tc dc all he could for them. Le proven this by becoming the Chief Justice of the Suprme Court unacr President Harding's administration. As Chief Justice, ...r. Tuft has again proved him. self a gooa citizen by improving the methods ano v- ditions of this law givin- ccdv. Since Mr. Tuft's death, the nation has -.r. to rculize more fully the unselfish way in which -a. dt Salutatory Address served his country through many years of political activity -.nd as time goes on they appreciate more and more the great service which he rendered his countrymen.

As ho was going to put down the last letter it accidently foil into a vat of purple dye that was stand- ing rear. Thoughtlessly, Johann thrust his hand into the hot dye. He rescued the letter but quickly dropped it to the floor. It chanced to fall on a piece of vellum and Johann saw a beautiful purple H printed on the yellow vellum. This incident impressed itself on the mind of Johann Gooseflesh. Sometime later when Johann had grown up he changed his last name to Gutenburg, his mother's name, which was more pleasing to the ear. Soon after Johann invented printing press with movable type which was the first printing press of its kind. He had no money to complete thi3 and so went into a partnership with Johann Fust and Peter Schoeffer, Fust's son-in-law. Fust w s to lend the money and Gutenburg v; s to repay him when the business had progressed. Gutcnburgwith the help of his partners start- ed to print a Bible. About four years after this partnership had been formed the Bible w-s well on its way. Fust, it is main- tained by moot authorises, wanted the profits and the honor that would come with .ho completed Biblo. So he The Gutenburg Bible •nod Gutenburg demanding payment of the loan while he e.l 1 knew that Gutenburg had no money. As a result Gut- enbui-g had no money. As a result Gutenburg had to give up his tools the printing press, Bible and all. It is believed that Fust produced the first Bible. It came forth about 1456. The Bible was printed in Latin. The type was the beautiful Gothic type with forty-two lines to a page. Fust and Schoeffer got all the credit at that ti o and Fust was considered the original inventor of printing for about 500 years until gradually Gutenburg13 right to the honor was proved. Meanwhile Gutenburg as always was without money. It is maintained that in 1463 Gutenburg went into the printing business again, financed by Dr. Konrad Homery. Gutenburg died a poor and unnoticed man in 1468. There wore about tvo hundred Gutenburg Bibles printed; one hundred sixty-five on paper and thirty-five on vellum. How .aary of these were printed by Gutenburg and how many by Fust is a question no one can settle. It was not until 1750 that scholars began to see the great value of the Gutenburg Bibles. At this time Guten- burg's right to the invention of the printing press with mov- able type had been proved. Every effort was then made to find these old and rare books. As an example of the first important step toward the development of the art of printing the Gutenburg Bibles are v.ns irpassed. 'here have come down to us through the co ni a - only forty-four of the two iur- dred Gutneburg Bibles : tort'-,' ore. of those printed on parer Th3 'rut i b.uig Bib] e ani throe of thoso printed on vellum. The Bibles printed on vellum are more valuable as they arc rare and have nothing to duplicate them today. The forty one paper copies of the Bible are widely scattered oyer the world. One of these was presented to the Yale Universi- ty Library by Mrs. Harkness a few years ago. One of the three vellum copies is in England in the British Museum, the second copy i3 in the Biliotheque Nationale in Paris and the last copy belongs to Dr. Vollbehr of Berlin. The third and last vellum copy of the Gutenburg Bible is the one that interests us the most. It is the most valuable of all as it has three volumes while the other two vellum copies have only two volumes. This throe volume Eible is termed the choicest book in Christendom , and i3 regarded as the most prized and valuable of all the cradle books. The Gutenburg Bible of three volumes has come down us having been in. onlythree hands. First, it was o-'nei by Fust, Gutenburg’s partner. From there it - ent to the monastery of St. Blasius in the Black For- est and the Benedictines there transferred it to the monastery of St. Paul in Carinthia by way of the Alps during the Napoleonic wars. The third owner is Dr. Vollbehr who purchased the book from the monks in 1926. Dr. Vollbehr has collected in addition to the Gut- enburg Bible, four tHo ..o md fi■ . u hundred, rare fifteenth century books. Thoso ircludo jjult o ' the ea.rliest print- ing; books representing sin hundred and tw.nty-five print- . Thu 0.1 ten ,urg B'ble of the iifteenth century. The Gutonbuig Bible ads the riot as the rarest and most valuable. This un- ique collection Dr. Vollbehr offers for sale to the Library oi Congress for $1,500,000. The Gutenburg Bible alone is worth this price while all the other books of the colxec- tion are of very high value also. Experts 3ay that the value of this collection is from two and one-half million to five million dollars. The United States has a. splendid opportunity to get a priceless collection of books for a very low price. Never again will ouch a wonderful book be offered as the three volume voi?.um Gutenburg Bible. As the old saying goes, Opportunity knocks but once at your door . United States should seise che opportunity and posses the priceless Guten- burg Pib'.w It, would mean much to each one of us if we eculd contribute toward the purchase of this book and wc would be prrui to nave such a valuable and educational book to hard k'--r. to future generations.

Some- how I feel that perhaps our classmates and the faculty failed to appreciate our talent and ability. Long may th class of '30 shine forth in its natural brilliance! -Dorothy Iyla Dowbridge- The Place of Music in American Education! Toll me something about it! is the first things we -.11 say when we see something we don’t understand -- e. picture for example. The picture tells its story but only to those who understand. It speaks to them and chcy enjoy it. Every piece of gre-t music i3 like that. ’ Vo want to know something about it before we can fully en- joy it. What did the composer think about when he wrote it? How did he feel? Kcw did he want to ra-iko us feel? All of those things, purhapa, puzzle us. To learn these things, to enjoy music better and to make our lives more happy we study music. Musical education may be divided into three divi- sions :— ocal music, instrumental music -and the radio. Singing by ear spontaneously and without technical instruction, but rather for the jcy of doing it, is the proper beginning of all musical education, it has a great effect upon all people and has al- ays held its own place among different nations of the world. In our own country the Indians and negroes cad, and .till have a type of song entirely their own. Perhaps to us Indian 3c:ige voul d r -t s eer, like real music, because we are no t- pr a n od to like th era. In f t.C w it is a difficult thing for v;h i+e people to learn t ■ like Indian chants. But to t he I rid ian their i’.'il? 3 i a meant SC it'- tuing sacred, something ajvine It was one of the t hir. r which made up their religion. The Indians believed + .err. was something magic bout mu ic am. perhaps a,.re- net en- tirely wrong. The Placo of ilusic in American Education. The negro spirituals are in a class all their own. The negroes songs were to thorn what our newspapers are to us. ihey related all of the different happenings and the important events of their lives. The negro songs are diff- erent, but it was by means of the courage which these 3onga gave to the negroes that their race was preserved in this country before the Civil War. No song belongs to America, more, no song i3 so much a part of her the plantation mol- dy'' or slave song . This type has been given the name of thc folk song of this country. It i3 by means of this folk song and the folk songs of other countries that American children are trained, in the schools, to love and appreciate good mu3ic. Their training begins by singing and after their love for good music has been developed, then the children learn the fundamentals and devote more time to instrumental music. The progress of orchrestras and bands has been rather slow in the past but is now rapidly advancing. Now from the very lowest grades children are taught how to act in an orchre3tra. By means of toy symphonies, the pupils learn how to read scores, follow their conductor and in general learn how to act in group playing. After this the boys and girls study different instru- ments if they like, join the school orchrestra and bands, and besides enjoying themselves immensely rnd giving en- joyment to others, they represent their schools in differ- ent contests, often bringing Vck honor to them. Cne inter- esting type of banh which serr-e ;o be getting a fo-tn -.ir5 i ; The Place of Music in American Education. the harmonica hand. It has many of the advantages of a regular band besides being composed of instruments which are so inexpensive that they are within the range of all. Perhaps one invention which has done more than any- thing else to make everyone love music and get enjoyment from it is the radio. It has brought excellent music to everyone, to the people away form all others as well as to those in the cities, and to invalids. Those who or- dinarily would hear very few operas or symphony concerts in a lifetime now think that to hear a symphony is only as ordinary occurrence. Nor does such a conceit bore the majority, for thanks to many great men and Walter Damrosch expccially people understand and love this art. He has tried, and surely succeeded, to make children love music by stimulating their imaginations and helping them to 3ee that it is a language which portrays what they feel. Damrosch says that he sees the children of to-day not as victims of an industrialized, standardized society but as future citizens, who will set themselves free through their appreciation of music. But his programs have not affected children only, for his concerts are listened to and enjoy- ed by people of all ages. The radio, all instrumental and vocal music mean to us, not only a retreat into a more beautiful world, but a way of interpreting all that wo see -nd feel in a uni- versal language--music.

Junior Dramatics On Thanksgiving evening, Nov. 26, 1929 wo held our senior bazaar. The program included two one-act plays. The Knave of Hearts and Neighbors. These were presented in the auditorium under the direction of Kiss Coolidge and Miss Colby. Our play committee was B. Bolles, K. Keane and John Barry. The Knave of Heats took us b-'Ck to the old fairy story. King Pompdehiie (John Lynch) tested his queen-to- be (Dorothy Harwood) to s e if she could ocok well enough to become the qu ‘ea He was ably advised and warned by his Chancellor (harry Hill). While Ursula (Dorothy Dowbrid- ge) advised the qu-;on. The queen was a very poor cook but with the aid of the Knave substituted some fine tarts which safely pa33ed the inspection of the royal cooks (Joseph Smith and Robert Howe). The heralds (Lewis Clark and John Barry) and the ingredients, Jane Griswold, Leo Kelley, Jack Robinson, Ralph Little, V alter Kiniry and Moris Nelson add- ed much to the play by their acting and colorful costumes. The play v as in a sweeping manner announced by a herald (Geral Rhicard). Our second play was Neighbors--a vivid picture from the life of a small town community. The action took place in Mis' Diantha Abel's kitchen where she was doing her ironing. One neighbor after another dropped in to hear and tell the latest gossip. At last the women learned that Carrie Ellsworth was to have her nephew come to live with her. Because Mia Ellsworth is very poor, all the neigh- bors work together to get clothes nd toys for the little boy and refreshments for the party to celebrate his coming dhie--1 it.t.1 n hnv Hirin' h n- - ■ ; Senior Dramatics they had enjoyed forgetting themselves and working for his coming. The grandmother was skillfully portrayed hy Frances Shaughnessey. Miss Ahel (Katherine Keane) Mis' Moran (Thelma Powers ) and Mis' Trot (Grace Mills) formed a. group of mo3t realistic neighbors. Ezra Williams (Frank Newcomb) forget hi3 whole-hearted interest in cord wood to take part in the preparation. Frederick Greenwood as Peter, the bashful grocery boy who moved Inez Abel (Marguerite Carloy) did well as did Inez herself. Berna- dette Carroll as Mis' Ellsworth was mistful and appealing in her disappointment when her nephe?; failed to arrive. On April third and fourth wo presented Charley's Aunt, a three act comed}' by Brantwood Thomas. We ack- nowledge gratefully our indebtedness to Mr. Roy Kimball who helped Miss Coolidfe and Miss Colby make the play sr successful. The play opened in Jack Chesney's rooms at 3t. Old's College, Oxford. Jack Chesney (John Lynch) and Charley Wykcham (Harry Hill) finally arranged for a luncheon party to entertain their sweethearts Kitty Verdon (Marge.ret O'Connor) and Amy S ottigne (Dorothy Harwood). The party was to be chaperoned by Donna Lucia D'Alnadorey--Charley:s Aunt who failed to arrive. So the boy3 pressed into service their chum Lord Fan- court Bobberly (Natt Divoll) who was planning to take part in some amateur theatricals- To further compli • Senior Promat i ca oa-e th0 situation, Jack's father, Sir Francis Chesnoy and the girl a guardian Stephen Spettiguc apparently ie1! in love with the make-believe aunt from Bra.iAj. wh ro the nut;, come from .

The audience was delighted and will not toon .orget the tea part or the proposals. SWORD SOCIETY ENTERTAINMENT March 28, 1930 March 28 an entertainment was given by the Sword Society, the physical training society for girls. The Wedding of the Painted Doll , a pantomime, was first on the program. The cast was made up of girls from the Junior High School, who were dressed like dolls. Miss Olive Fox sang Go To Bed at the be- ginning of the pantomime. Mr. Edward Barret sang The Wedding of the Painted Doll . A one act play, The Rector was put on by members of the Sword Society. This was a humorous play taking place in a country parsonage. Miss Olive Fox sang two songs Chant of the Jungle and Love . The next thing was a snort tumbling number by the girls. Another one act play The Mayor and the Manicurist, was next on the program. Members of the faculty took part in this. This was a delightfully funny play and each one did their part well. The members of Sword as a last number, sang thei two Sword Songs. The plays were coached by Miss Ila Fox and Miss Emily Ford. r ATT P In February the first debating mrating was called by Mr. Somerville, the new coach. Many turned out at this meeting, in- cluding c-io of the varsity members. The team was finally chosen which .vas composed of Katherine Keane, Natt Divcll, Barbara belles with Maurice Lawlor as alternate. The question which was selected by the State was: Bseolved that all Vermont water projects shoula be owned and operated by the State rather than by private interests. The first debate was held in the High School Auditorium with Wood- stock, Vermont. The decision was given in favor of B. F. E. S. The second debate was with Windsor at Windsor. This de- bate 6ave our team another victory. Brattleboro came hero and for the first time cur team was aefeatea. With just one defeat on our hands our team was allow- ed to enter the quarter-finals. The team had their choice of the side of the question and chose to uphold the negative while Bradford Academy uphela the affirmative. The decision was fin- ally rendered to i raafcra but this was one of the finest debates that .«e haa. This last debate ended the series of debates for tr.is yeu.r, but next year, with the cooperation of the Student body there shoula be no doubt as to the success cf the Debating Team. A vote . as taken in Assembly as tc whether the debating team shoula receive letters as a symbol of their hard work. The aecision was practically unanimous in favor cf it. The Old Entlisfc a. F. was adopted as the regular debating letter. The Seniors who earned their letters were Katherine «ean--. Barbara Bolles ana Natt Divoll. ATHLITICS The football team started out with all new material this year. The toys won one game out of seven. The vi tory, 2-0, was won over Elacl: River Academy in the las1; game of the season. The Seniors who won their letters vere: Manager Frank Newcomb, Captain John Lynch, Gerald Rhicard, Robert Howe, Ernest O'Dette and Harold '.7 lsh. The boys basketball team started with no veterans held over from last year. Out of the fourteen gamee the boys won five. The team had the pleasure of playing against Deerfield Academy, the cleanest and most sports- manlike team that has ever played at Eellows Falls. The senior boys who earned their letters were: Manager Ernest O'Dette, Robert Howe, Natt Divoll, Richard Isham, and Morris Miller. The girls basketball team had a successful season. There were several girls left over from last year's team. Undei' the coaching of Miss Ila M. Fox, the girls won eight games out of ten. No games were lost on the home floor. The girls defeated Keene High, which had not been defeated for three years. The five senior girls who helped to win this game and earned their letters were: Manager Bernadette Carroll, Captain Dorothy Harwood, Agnes Eowen, Geraldine Lawlor and Dorothy Dowbridge. The interclass basketball championship was won by the junior boys this year. Praise is due to the boys for tie way in which the games were carried on. The interclass championship for the girls basketball was won by the sophomores. They had a snappy and a pappy team to uphold the honor of their class. ATHLETICS The hockey team had a successful season under the coaching of Bunny Zeno. They won all the games played. The senior receiving their letters were: Manager Natt Divoll, Capt. Kenneth Porter and Harry Hill. The Baseball team was practically all new material. Mr. James B. Cosgrove was the assistant coach to Roy Stacey. The boys did very well and kept up their spirit despite several defeats. Track, always a difficult sport for B. F. would probably have gone on the rocks, but for our star, Morris Miller. At the invitation meet in Brattloboro we carried away several honors. Tennis, a sport formerly not sponsored by the A. A. went well this year. The boys won 4 games out of the 4 played. Letters were awarded to Morris Miller and Kenneth Porter. The purple and white B. F. i3 a symbol that every senior should be proud to wear even after he is through school. It stands as a symbol of hard work, good sports- manship, games lo3t and won with a 3rnilo, pleasant friend- ships, courtesy, fair play and good times. Long may the Purple and White stand a3 a symbol of all that is best in sportsmanship. 3 ? ui : •-ng' of. Thirty T ipe (iliif.veTf.ity of Vt ,.uif Stein Son, At if$i: ,ve;ve come to this gLao. day.
