12 CLUBS DRAMATIC CLUB As usual, interest in the Dramatic Club is high this year, both among the student members and among members of the facul- ty. The monthly meetings are to be held in the assembly hall of the Green Street School Building and many interesting pro- grams are expected. One of these, it is hoped, the faculty will present. Besides the interest of Miss Grant, the official faculty adviser of the club, the enthusiastic interest of both Miss Pease and Miss Clapp in dramatics will further the interest in the club. Plans are under way for an entertain- ment bureau to be conducted under the aus- pices of the club. This will be voted upon by the club members at the October meet- ing. Those included in the entertainment bureau would be students prepared not only to present programs of short plays and to read poems, but to read to private persons who might wish to be entertained in that way. ' LE CERCLE FRANCAIS The first meeting of the Cercle Francais was held Oct. 7th. After several French songs were practiced, the meeting was opened by the president, Charlotte DeVVitt. The secretary read the statutes of the or- ganization and called the roll. The sug- gestion was then made by Miss Pease that the amount of the dues be changed from fifteen cents per meeting to seventy-five cents per year. This motion was made and passed. The program was in charge of Doris Robbins. Mary Stolte recited the poem L'Echo , Miss Kauffman gave a very entertaining talk on her travels in France, and especially upon the Louvre, Marion Rice initiated several new mem- bers, Elizabeth Allen, Helen Booth, Lucille Gould, Carlotta Nido, Gertrude Stetson, and Miss Pease. The last part was very unique. Slips similar to dance programs were passed out, and topics were given in succession, it was then the duty of the partners to converse together in French, basing their conversation on whatever topic was given. Refreshments of pop-corn and apples were served. GLEE CLUBS This year there are two Glee Clubs. The Girls' Glee Club is in charge of Mrs. Mac- Arthur and the Boys' Glee Club is under the direction of Mr. Miller. The two clubs met in the main room. The Girls' Club elected a nominating com- mittee, the members of which include one person from each of the four classes and one person from the Alumni. Mrs. Mac- Arthur told of the new plan of the clubs The ial rehearsing separately and then coming to- gether occasionally for concerts. The ambition of both clubs is to have friends hear them over the air. The boys and girls are aiming to make their clubs the best in all New England. They have made a good start by getting organized already. The Girls' Glee Club met October 13th under the direction of Mrs. MacArthur. The following ofhcers were elected: Presi- dent, Eleanor Adams, Vice-president, Doris Wood, Secretary, Bernice Wells, Sergeant - at- arms, Caryl Woodworth, Treasurer, Frances Bennett and Librarians, Grace Fitzgerald and Monica Mann. BUSINESS PRACTICE CLUB At the Hrst meeting a committee was chosen to have charge of the initiation stunts. Robert Stebbins read the consti- tution of the club for the benefit of the new members, after which they were made ridiculous for the amusement of the others present. Refreshments of cider and wafers were served. The room formerly occupied by the fifth grade in the Annex is being fitted up for a club room. The members of the various clubs appropriated money and discussed having a moving picture for the benefit of the clubroom. The members of the House- hold Management class are helping by making the curtains. No furniture has yet been picked out. The Radio Club has formed again this year-with renewed effort to make advance- ment in the fields of science. The club has secured the use of the room in the Annex, formerly used by the Teacher's Training Class, as a laboratory in which it is intended that some valuable scientific research work will be conducted. The club is as yet in its infancy but with the hearty cooperation of the members of the school it is hoped that it may be brought to a ris- ing point of success. The first Student Council meeting was held September 16th with Miss Iette and Mr. Miller as faculty advisors. The officers elected for the year are as follows :-President, Isabel Moreton, Vice- President, Thor Olson, Secretary, Robert Culver. The members of the orchestra this year are :-At the piano, Eleanor Adams, violins-Walter VVhite, leader, Reuben Prouty, Chauncey Worthley, Henry Peter- son, Edward Chase and Clara Crosier, mandolins-Geneva johnson and Ethel Barber, cornetsYLeslie Billings and Fran- cis Holiday, saxophones-Hadley Shum- way and Maurice Buckley, clarionet-Wal- ter Brockington, trombone-Edward Mc- Kay, and drums-Franklin Sears. TEACHER TRAINING CLASS The teacher training class this year is the largest since a training class was first started in B. H. S. Through Miss Kinney's willing efforts, interest in the training class has greatly increased. Those in the class this year are: Alice Styles, Olive Gray, Evelyn May, Evelyn Fitch, Helen Fitch, Georgia Chapman, Alice Knight, Nettie Chamberlain, Lenore Darling, Amy Grout, Onnie Bills, Mildred Eddy, Olive Marsh, Gertrude Best, Vivian Murray, Beatrice Cummings, Mary White and Emily LeRay. Last week they held their first class meet- ing and, as a result, Olive Gray was chosen president, Onnie Bills, vice president, Alice Styles, secretary and Emily LeRay, treas- urer.

14 ALUMNI IN COLLEGE Doubtless those interested in B. H. S. have often wondered as to the future of her graduates, so at this time of the year, when our minds turn again towards educa- tion,l the editors thought it would be inter- esting to the readers of the DIAL to know how many alumni are now in schools of higher learning. It seems rather unusual that a compara- tively small high school should be sending students into thirty-five colleges. Keene Normal School, with six B. H. S. alumni, seems to be the most popular institution while Middlebury and Dartmouth follow with live and four respectively. The Uni- versities of Vermont, Norwich, and Colgate claim three each. We find two in each of the following, Boston University, North- eastern, Mt. Holyoke, VVorcester Tech, Bay Path Institute and Connecticut Col- lege. ' At the University of Michigan, Massa- chusetts Agricultural College, the General Electric School, Pennsylvania College of Osteopathy, Lowell Textile School, Bent- ley School of Accounting, De Pauw, West Point, Westfield Normal School, Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology, VVes- leyan, Pennsylvania State, Yale, Ottawa, Rochester Dental, David Mannis School, Springfield College, Skidmore, Oneonta, Wellesley, Vassar, Posse School of Gym- nastics and Pratt Art Institute, B. H. S. is represented by one graduate alone. In the above list we have considered only graduates and have omitted preparatory schools, but even so our 'fcollegiate alum- ni totals sixty. Will the undergraduates do as Well? THE CLASS 'OF 1925 At the opening of school we were glad to welcome back to B. H. S. as Post Gradu- ates ten members of the '25 class-Edward Bushnell, John Gale, Byron Leach, Alfred Martin, Kenneth Martin, Floyd Messenger, Charles Robb, Beatrice Underwood, Viola Wheeler and Eleanor Robbins. Also not far from us we find Onnie Bills, Georgia Chapman, Helen Fitch, Olive Gray, Emily LeRay, and Alice Styles in the teacher- training class. Dorothy Martin, Helen Hildreth, Mary Rugg and Julia Park are continuing their education in Brattleboro at the Bay Path Institute. Mary and julia are attending the Institute only in the evening since Mary is working at the Home Bakery and julia has a position in the Reformer office, during the day. Already a number of the class have found employment in town. Clarence Bangs continues at Dunham Brothers Co. At Houghton and Simonds, Dorothea Ingra- ham and Grace Johnson are employed. One of the most prominent members of last year's graduates, Mary Amiato, is at Zltbe tal LUMN 5 3 , . :'zt!!wl90' Q E .. 5.5.3-il 25.353 the State Sanatorium at Pittsford for her health. Contrary to the class prophecy,' Vic Manley, another illustrious member of the class, is studying at the State College of Osteopathy, in Philadelphia. Keene Normal School called several of our talented graduates, namely, Elizabeth Amidon, Mildred Hardy and Clarke May- nard, our great debater. Allen I-Iebb is at the General Electric School -at Schenectady, N. Y., While near- by are Helen Austin, a coming dental hy- gienist in Rochester, and Marjorie Bush- nell and Marjorie Eddy, cultivating those talents displayed in high school, the one in the Posse School of Gymnastics and the other at Pratt Institute. We miss our former editor-in-chief and trust that Mary Crane will continue her work in the literary line -at Mt. Holyoke. We feel sure of the success of another graduate, Marjorie Crosby, who is study- ing to be a teacher at the University of Vermont. It didn't require much time for Irene Hudson to prove her secretarial ability, for she now has a position in the Vermont- Peoples National Bank. Ola Benson, Thelma Buckley, Thomas Galvin, Thure Hertzberg, Walter Hertz- berg, Esther Howe, Ruth Thomas, Erral Vaile, and Leon Brooks are remaining at home, and are yet undecided as to the fu- ture. Madeline Cain is working in Dr. Black's office. The '25 track manager, Warren Bennett, still holds his position in Perryis Clothing Store. Ruth Dugan has moved to Garwood, N. I., to live. The rapid fire debater, Preston Gibson, has entered Norwich University. One of our best singers, Anna McLaugh- lin, has received a scholarship to the Para- mount School in New York. Another prominent member of the chorus, Evelyn Mann, has gone to Laselle Seminary. Another member of our debating team, Cecile Huestis, is a clerk at Goodnow, Pearson and Hunt's. We feel sure that the scholastic records of the Massachusetts Agricultural College will be broken by one freshman, Irene Bartlett. i Again in contrast to the prophecy Esther Daniels has not become postmis- tress but is attending Northfield Seminary. Elva Gallup is employed in the Farm Bureau. . Can't you imagine what an alert tele- phone operator Clara Haskell would be at the office of the Bell Telephone Co., in Springfield, Mass.? At DeWitt,s we find Richard Ingram working as in pre-graduation days. Linde Kall is Working at the White River Chair Co. John Lawton continues in the trucking business for his father. Gertrude Locke, another of our artists, is employed as a clerk at Mann's. Edith Nelson has secured a position as bookkeeper in Lane and Davis, -and Hazel Parkhurst is employed in the Holstein- Friesian office. Another graduate, Clyde Parsons, is con- tinuing his job of high school days at the Ginter Co. Raymond Taft is working at the Rob- erts Auto Co., and John Zelenakas is de- livering milk. Two of our athletes will gain fame in the collegiate world, Kenneth Wheeler at Col- gate and Harold Wagner at the Bentley School of Accounting. Walter Olson has the position of chief shipping clerk in the Last Block. Last but not least comes the class presi- dent, Jack Stewart, who is taking a course at the Lowell Textile School. 1924 After a year in B. H. S. as post gradu- ates, Ada Felch and Alla Fitzgerald have entered Middlebury. Frank DeWitt is a freshman at the same college. The musical ability of Robert Simonds, a freshman in Dartmouth, has immediately been recognized, for in addition to playing in the band, he has been invited to play in the Symphony orchestra. 1923 Raymond Wells, after attending the General Electric School in Schenectady, is taking a post-graduate course in B. I-I. S. Dorothea- Vandeveer has recently been married to Eugene Hardy. 1922 Harry Harlow and Olive Capron, of the class of '22, have been married. Howard Rice is studying for a year at Grenoble and Montpellier, France. 1921 Julia Simonds was married to Mr. Stew- art Dunham in june. Elizabeth Crane is teaching in York, Pa., and Helen Miller in Newport, Vt. Mary Baker has been married to Mir. Elton Young, a former member of the B. H. S. faculty. Helen Longuiel, a graduate of this class, was married to Ernest Wells.
