I92I WIS. f Second-class Matter. l 1 l X If I FSSASSOGATWX l PUBLISHED FIVE TIMES A YEAR BY THE STUDENTS OF THE HIGH SCHOOL AT BRATTLEBORO, VT. VOLUME XXI OCTOBER, 1925 NUMBER ONE N THE DARK AGES of our infancy, when thought is in its most primitive state, our desires are still too insufficiently devel- oped for us to be fully aware of, or dis- satisfied with, our surroundings. A tiny piece of brilliant color is enough to make us gurgle with delight, while a noisy rat- tle is an excuse for a violent show of ecstacy. As years advance, however, a desire to investigate that around us is created and we begin to think. In fact, we think about so many things which we cannot answer for ourselves, that life is made unpleasant for those around us through our incessant questioning. Then a fairy book is placed in our hands, and what fantastic pictures, what desires, and what dreams are created in us! A new door has been opened to us and we explore the room beyond with unfailing eagerness. But soon again we tire of this room and desire to open the doors leading from it. Our school life begins, and we start to question the truths which before we have always accepted. XNe begin to delve further into our minds for the answers to our questionings. By so doing we have suc- ceeded in opening new doors, beyond which vistas, before unknown, are revealed. Our view is broadened and we begin to possess historical, scientific and mathematical facts. Our understanding is increased to such a point that we become conscious of more and more of the truths of life. NVe find that the doors which are opening reveal such fascinating rooms that we want to ex- plore them, analyze them, then enjoy them. Always the lure of a new door, the lure of the unknown, draws us on. Our contemplation of nature, our in- creasing appreciation of poetry, our study of books, our religious knowledge, and the broader understanding of people gained through new friendships, open new worlds to us. All this means education. Is your educa- tion making your life richer, is it opening up to you worlds before unknown? I BOARD OF EDITORS Editor-in-Chief ...... Marion Rice 2 Managing Editor ..

A freshman onlysbut do not let the upper-classmen make you feel as though you are only a freshman, nor let them make you feel, by thus encouraging you, that you are the only freshman. There have been thousands of freshmen in the history of the high school and you are but one, and as a Freshman probably will receive your share of advice. Among other pieces of advice which such a name as Freshman inspires, is this. You must remember that it takes nearly a year for B. H. S. to find out what each of you is capable of doing. You cannot get into outside activities immediately, but do not get discouraged. Remember there are three years ahead of you. If you go out for the activities now open to you and establish yourself in your high school as a student you will find that as soon as you are eligible, you will, if you go halfway, get your share. Make such a good reputation for yourself that we may read in the future DIALS about The Distinguished Class of '29, The question has been raised whether or not any member of B. H. S, shall belong to two or more than two clubs. The in- dividual is often more interested in one club than another, consequently he will give that one more of his time and work. Since the number of students belonging to more than two is comparatively small, the matter probably will be left to the individ- ual. Are you a liability or an asset to your club? Act accordingly. 'The best school paper in Vermontfl The phrase haunts us. A mingled feeling of pride and fear are aroused within us, pride for our predecessors, and fear for our fu- ture. Vlle start with that phrase always before us, and with the 'desire to deserve this commendation. Has the DIAL an ideal? It has tried to maintain high standards from the very be- ginning, and each year's board has tried to improve upon the magazine in as many respects as possible. Because its ideals and goals are not always attained, it is with trembling hand that the Board informs the readers that it has adopted as its motto- originality Vlle are glad to announce that as a result of the freshman contest for DIAL reporter, Dorothy Metcalf is chosen for the position. The editor will be glad to receive any constructive criticism of any issue of the DIAL. Vllho would believe that B. H. S. has become so complex that when a student is told to go to the office, he asks, Which office ? That, however, is the case. The editor of a newspaper has an ad- vantage over a magazine editor. He can comment on the weather without having his readers wonder which day's weather he means. A B. H. S. student has yet to receive an average of A+ for four years. l

2 The Rial THE BREAKER OF DREAMS SCENE l. A jireside-with a jire just for cosi- ne.r.v, -as Pierette would say. Pieretier Oh, Pierrot, to climb into that cloud beyond the mountain, to take its downy softness in my hands, to be wrapped in its lightness, and to drift through its white purity! Pierrot Ccynicallyjz Its downy softness is but damp, cold air, and its pure white- ness is only a cold gray. Why, it is only fog, just fog. Ah Pierette, dream away, but let it always be but a dream. Pierctte: You advise me to dream after you have all but broken it? CHope- fullyj I shall dance in it, skip in it .... Pierrot: You will fall through. Pierrette: And it will be your fault. I could have done it, but now you have broken it Pierrot Cdistantlyj : A cloud is ...... Pierrette Cstill hopefullyj: I could skip in it, dance in it ..... Oh, but I couldn't now. CSingingj Keep the dream you've made today Store it in your heart, And when you're tired of Pierrot's play Take your heart apart. Pierrot: I have it. A cloud is a collection of visible vapor, suspended in the up- per atmosphere. Pierrette: Not being satisfied with breaking my dream, he attempts to break my heart. Pierrot: I shall send that definition to the new definitions department tomorrow. Pierette: Yes, I will keep my dream if I can gather the pieces together. Oh, Pierrot, don't you see what you have done? I was dreaming away and you broke my dream into a thousand piices. Don't you care? Pierrot Cindifferentlyj: I'm sorry if your dream amused you. I was trying to give you some advice. I must go now. fExitj Pierrette: He has seen someone he likes better than he likes me. Oh why can't he love me, when I love him so much? CSingingj Go, Pierrot, you fickle man. Go and seek your lover VVhere the flowers all bloom at night And butterfiies still hover. Go and take her in your arms, Kiss her golden hair. May she break your dream in two, Escape, and then you'd care. Then you'd come to Pierrette You'd love to see her smile But she would gaze far o'er the hills And sing this all the while: Go, Pierrot, you fickle man, Go and seek your lover A Where the flowers bloom at night And butterflies still hover. Yes, I shall make a dream that he can't break. I shall fall in love with a man who is cheerful all the time and nice to me. Vllhen I meet him he shall fall in love with me. Then would Pierrot be sorry? He shall be quite tall and straight And he shall be quite slender. I-Ie shall gaze into my eyes With loving glance and tender. I wonder if he is far away. CGazes wist- fully up at the cloudsj. SCENE 2 The cloud beyond the 1n0untai11. Enter Pierrette: And Pierrot said it was fog! Cln ecstacyj Every downy particle of it is mine to sing in, to dance in, to skip in! When I am tired I shall lie on the edge, and look aboveme and wonder who is in that cloud away up there. I wonder if my cloud will be gold or pink at sunset. When I am tired of gazing into heaven I shall look below me, and watch the people coming home from the market- place. Perhaps I shall catch a glimpse of Pierrot! I wonder what he will think when he finds I am not at home. CRuns and looks over the cloud's edgej. I don't think I would even hurt myself if I jumped from here. I would land right in that field of heather. Pierrot said I would fall through, but when I walk in it, it is so light and fluffy .... CSingsD This blue sky is filled with clouds, Snowy, soft, and white. Take your choice of all but this, In your skyward flight. There's a cloud beside the lake, And one above the pine, But the one beyond the mountain Is not yours, but mine, just mine. CEnter Strangerj Oh, but who are you? Didn't you just hear me say that this cloud belonged to me? Stranger: Pierrette, look at me. Pierrette: I don't know how you should know my name, and I have been look- ing at you. , ' Stranger: Do look at me again. Pierrette: You are tall and dark and slen- der. VVhy you can't be .... . Strangelz' Perhaps I can. Pierrette Cto herselfj: , He shall be quite tall and straight And he shall be quite slender. He shall gaze into my eyes XNith loving glance and tender. St1'a11ge1': Come let us sit on the edge of the cloud. It is beginning to become golden now. I have a great deal to tell you. Pierrette Cpuzzledj 1 But how did you find me, and how did you know whom you were looking for? Stranger: For a long time I have been searching over the earth for someone to love and laugh with. Many loved me but I loved none of them. Pierrette Qoverlooking his egotismj : When did you give up looking for someone to love and laugh with? When I happened upon a little Stffanger: fleecy cloud and found that someone. Pie1'ret1'e: And so your little friend of the cloud Stranger: returned your love? Didn't she? Pierrette: fto herselfj Pierrot once said that a woman must keep her lover guessing, always guessing. QTO himj She wouldn't love you until she knew you were worthy of her love. Stranger: So I must prove to her that I am worthy of her love? Pierrette: She cannot love you until then, I'm sure. Stranger Qreflectingb : How does one prove his worthiness? Pierrette Cto herselfj : I am soihappy. Oh, I knew I would find him, but I did not think it could be here. Do I love him? Do I love him? If I don't then I can- not know love. How handsome he is! His gaze is even tenderer than I had hoped, and he is much taller than I had dreamed. Stranger Ctaking her handj: Pierrette, dear Pierrette, are you thinking of the beauty of our golden cloud? Perhaps you are wishing that you were down on those green fields or over on that tall mountain. Pierrette: I feel as though We were Hying through heaven, high above every other cloud, and if we jumped from the edge we could 'drift away beyond the mountain and never come back to earth. I feel as though we might sing a song a thousand times sweeter than the lark's I hear. It's like a dream. Stranger: Do you know what that is called, when one feels like that? Pierrette: Pierrot says it is love. Stranger: So you are sure you are happy? Pierrette Csuddenly rememberingli Keep the dream you've made today Store it in your heart And when you're tired of Pierrot's play Take your heart apart. T ' E , I
